Chapter 1083: Finally Giving in (One Shift Arrives)
Joseph. Retzer was immediately shuddered: he had no doubt that when he heard that there was such an incident, GM, Ford, and Chrysler would immediately rush up like a pack of hungry wolves: For these American auto companies, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fall into the well, and to step on it fiercely, to ensure that Daimler will not be able to turn over in the North American auto market within a few years.
Lin Hongfei's words also firmly confirmed his thoughts, and he looked at Joseph. Lei Ze, with a meaningful face, "Mr. Lei Ze, do you believe it, as long as I tell my friends the news, even if I offer 10 million US dollars, they will not hesitate at all, and they will buy the S320 that popped off the airbag without any collision without blinking an eye, and then ship it back to the United States directly as soon as possible, we can probably guess what will happen next: the American media will discuss this matter with great enthusiasm, It is estimated that this is another ironclad proof that Mercedes-Benz has serious quality problems...... The previous discussion of Mercedes-Benz has made everyone fall into aesthetic fatigue, this intervention is just an opportunity, by the way, you can also discuss the service attitude of Mercedes-Benz, well, I estimate that this topic alone can make the American media community discuss for more than half a month, and the American media industry should really give me a large bonus. ”
Lin Hongfei has already made it so clear, Joseph. What else can Letzer say? The originally white and red face instantly turned pale, and the beads of sweat on Dou's forehead immediately oozed out, dripping down, and a pair of hands burst out with green tendons, trembling constantly......
A car in which the airbag pops off for no reason under normal driving conditions is definitely a fatal safety hazard. This time there were no deaths, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, with the voice of the republic's automobile market and consumers, Daimler can of course directly ignore their rights protection demands, but if this matter is left to the damned Chrysler cars to operate, it will be a different matter.
If this car is really taken to the United States by the Americans, it will become ironclad evidence that Mercedes-Benz has serious defects in quality, and the car accident encountered by Secretary of State Kristof before will immediately be determined by the American media to be not an accident, but that Mercedes-Benz W140S600Pullman does have serious safety risks. Whether it is really related to Mercedes-Benz or not, it has something to do with Mercedes-Benz.
In the case of a huge blow to the previous image, as soon as this Mercedes-Benz W140S320 with intact shape but airbag popping out appears in the American media, Daimler will immediately be nailed to the shame pillar of North American car sales, and it is estimated that it will not be able to turn over for several years.
This is for Daimler. It couldn't have been worse.
It's ruthless, it's so ruthless!
"We, Daimler, are willing to compensate this owner. We are willing to compensate him for a brand new W140S320. "Joseph. Lei Ze wiped the sweat that kept dripping down, and his hands were trembling slightly, "If he is not satisfied, we are willing to compensate him for a brand new W140S600SEL, as long as he is willing to hand over this broken car to us." ”
"What do you want me to say? Mr. Reitzer," Lin Hongfei sighed. The tone was disappointed, "You know, I'm not defending the boss, say more." What you can think of, I can think of. ”
Joseph. Lei Zer was stunned, and then he understood the meaning of Lin Hongfei's words: That's right, he is indeed not defending the rights of the unlucky boss, what he wants to do is just to hand over the Mercedes-Benz W140S320SEL to the Americans under the premise that Daimler does not agree to his own conditions, and that's it, and the Americans will naturally do the rest.
But Joseph. Lei Zer is still unwilling, he is really unwilling to be "held hostage" by Lin Hongfei like this, after all, he is the vice president of Daimler. Reitzer thought of a countermeasure: he might be able to seek the help of the embassy, and the embassy would come forward to coordinate the matter, and the republic was an official-based society, and if he proceeded from the perspective of the friendship between China and Germany, he might have a chance to save the matter......
But Lin Hongfei seemed to be telepathic, and the next sentence immediately plunged him into despair, "Oh, I forgot to remind you Mr. Reitzer, maybe you think that you can seek the help of your country's embassy in the Republic in this matter, but I personally advise you not to do this, and you should probably know a little bit about it, I have an extraordinary relationship with the leader of the most influential media organization in our country: CCTV, well, I have also made a little preparation about this car......"
Joseph. Reitzer was in utter despair.
Although Lin Hongfei did not say from beginning to end that the Mercedes-Benz W140S320SEL that automatically popped the airbag was under his control, a fool can also know that since Lin Hongfei has seized this opportunity, how can he let it go? Maybe that damn car has been sent somewhere in the United States and hidden, and when the right opportunity arises, it will be handed over to the Americans.
Under this fatal blow, Joseph no longer had a trick. Lei Zer finally had to give in, and he lowered his head in frustration, as if bowing his head to confess his guilt, "Okay, Lin, I will report your request and everything to the board of directors truthfully, but I can't guarantee that the directors of the board will agree to your terms." ”
"On the contrary, I am sure that they will agree, they have made a very wise decision," Lin Hongfei's smile was extraordinarily bright, "Mr. Reitzer, do you want us to make a bet?" ”
"The devil wants to bet with you!" Hearing Lin Hongfei's words, Joseph. As if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake, Lei Ce jumped away violently, with a look of panic on his face, "I swear, Lin, you are the incarnation of the devil in the world, you must be." ”
"There's nothing bad about the devil's incarnation," Lin Hongfei shrugged. Lei Ze's curse was unimpressed, "By the way, there is also the cooperation between MTU and our company's heavy-duty diesel engine factory, don't forget it." ”
……………………
"Mr. Lin, you are so powerful," Cao Jun looked at his boss with admiration, he knew very well, Joseph. Lei Ze, the damn German devil, was going to come to find trouble at the beginning, originally he was still a little worried about his boss, but now, for his boss, he admires or admires, "The German devil has suffered a big loss this time, and the whole thing is not to steal chickens, but to eat rice." ”
"It's no wonder that they don't come, it's impossible for anyone to see their continued losses and remain indifferent, right?" Lin Hongfei smiled, Daimler took the initiative to come to the door was originally expected by him, there is nothing to be happy about, if he used such a long time and prepared such a big pit to eventually become a waste pit, it will make people feel annoyed, "Then wait slowly, there will be more international Lei Feng to send us benefits in the future." ”
Cao Jun nodded, silently mourning for those unlucky guys who were cheated by their boss and who were about to be cheated by their boss: It is really the misfortune of these guys to have such an opponent as Mr. Lin.
"Mr. Lin, can you come over for a moment?" In the phone that rang suddenly, Gu Guangming's voice was a little anxious and a little excited.
"What's the matter?" Lin Hongfei frowned, just after talking to Joseph. Lei Ze's spirit was a little tired, he pinched his eyebrows slightly, and felt a little unhappy in his heart: What is the matter, Gu Guangming not only didn't come to report to him personally, but also urged himself to go over and take a look?
"A good thing, a great thing!" The excitement and ecstasy in Gu Guangming's tone could be felt through the phone line, "Boss, we have picked up the baby this time!" Some of the materials collated from the Russian side have been translated, and we have found a complete set of manufacturing processes and methods for low-cost grade 5 titanium alloys. ”
"What?!" Lin Hongfei, who was still pinching his eyebrows just now, stood up suddenly, and the tiredness on his body disappeared in an instant, "What is a fifth-grade titanium alloy, let's make it clear." ”
"Yes, it is a fifth-grade titanium alloy of Ti6-Al-4V titanium-alumina-vanadium-iron, which is a low-cost titanium alloy, compared with the titanium alloys that our company got from Russia, this Ti6-Al-4V titanium-aluminavanadium-iron fifth-grade titanium alloy can greatly reduce the manufacturing cost," Gu Guangming's tone was full of excitement, "This is a study that was just completed on the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union, and before they could report the good news to the Soviet Committee for Soviet Rights, the Soviet Union collapsed. This fifth-grade titanium alloy of Ti6-Al-4V titanium-aluminum-iron-vanadium was put on hold......"
"The cost of this titanium alloy is equivalent to one-fifth of the production cost of the high-strength substable β titanium alloy that we now get from Russia, and the performance index can reach about eighty percent of the high-strength substable β titanium alloy. The key is cheapness...... By the way, several of the main designers who are engaged in this research are also in our company, you see? ”
Lin Hongfei didn't say a word, and immediately ordered, "Old Gu, look at the information, I am the only one who asks if you have a piece of paper; Bring those designers over right away, and I'll be right over! (To be continued......)
