With a soft piano accompaniment in the hotel lobby, Robin Mitsui, who was about to come out of the elevator, carefully sorted out his appearance as usual before walking towards the café in the corner of the hall. Because of the relationship of wearing the badge, the Chinese waiter in the café began to greet Mitsui with a leisurely face in fluent Japanese, until he sat down in a window seat and ordered a glass of Columbia, and the waiter walked away very politely, of course, Mitsui, who was also polite to the other party, did not forget to be strict with etiquette......

A spring breeze blew, and this gentle catkins fluttered on the road outside the window. I took a light sip of coffee. Mitsui felt that his brain, which had been a little tired from the days of meetings, finally got a moment of relaxation.

This is Mitsui's fifth spring in China! Every year, on the eve of the start of China's national racing competition, it has become almost customary for these Chinese car manufacturers to get together for a meeting.....

Outside the window at this time, there was a lot of traffic, and people were buzzing. Elementary school students who go to school in the afternoon are walking in groups in front of the hotel window. Unlike the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, Mitsui felt that the ancient city of Beijing was more of a novelty. Thinking about it, Mitsui still vaguely remembers the time when he was in college in Waseda in the 80s.

Oh, yes! It's called hope.....

"Hey! Mitsui-kun, you're here! Make it easy for me to find! Won't your Honda cars be sold in China, so you don't want to pay attention to us people, right? Just as Mitsui was staring out the window in a daze, a familiar voice sounded behind him, and the man turned his head to see that it was his compatriot and colleague Matsusuke Tanaka. There were also several acquaintances Watanabe and others standing beside him, all of whom also had badges on their chests, and they all came to attend the meeting. It's just that there is a relatively short and silent young man next to Watanabe, which makes Mitsui look a little embarrassed.

"Oh! It's you! Tanaka, you love to laugh! When will you Toyota family also complain about our Honda? Hehe! As long as your Camry successfully starts production in China, how to divide this market share is not certain! Anyway, those Germans are getting harder and harder! Mitsui, who came back to his senses, also began to laugh in response to Tanaka's jokes. At this point he saw some white people at the far end of the café, none other than his German counterparts.

"Hey! We're nothing! Watanabe's business is called a must! In the future, the Chinese's own red flag will be equipped with Nissan's 2.0 engine! Isn't it a popular word for Chinese now, called angry youth! I don't know what those people will do after learning the news! Ha ha! The Chinese's own red flag! Boycott Japanese products to open a red flag! Ha ha!

On the one hand, the Hongqi car, which claimed to have defeated the Imperial Japanese Army, was founded by Mao, who claimed to have defeated the Imperial Japanese Army, and on the other hand, it was equipped with an engine made by the Japanese, which the Chinese hated the most! And by the way, the Audi gang came to snipe.,Watanabe.,I'll serve you Nissan for this! ”

Tanaka said with a smile and patted his Waseda alumnus, friend and rival on the shoulder. Compared with the steady Mitsui, the slightly younger Tanaka has a more unrestrained personality.

"Come on! You crazy right-winger! Mitsui-kun and I are not as extreme as you! In my opinion, this is just a normal business! And no matter how many people are clamoring for China to be a non-market economy, I want to say that at least in the automobile market, China is a rare market economy in the world! Let's take a look at the trade barriers that the Yankees and Europeans erected for our Japanese cars! Compared with China's open market, their talents really violate the spirit of the WTO! Moreover, can you imagine that the heads of government in South Korea and North America are all in Japanese cars? In addition to our domestic scenery, such a beautiful scene can only be seen in the vast market of China! Watanabe, who was mentioned by Tanaka, waited for the other party to finish speaking, and then said with a smile that like Mitsui, Watanabe has also passed that frivolous age, and he is also not particularly concerned about politics.

"Watanabe-kun, what you said is really good! I don't care at all about political positions! I'm just a pure car dealer! Do you know why I have to transfer from China to China? I'm really scared of the big guys in the military! It is much more difficult to build them a 90 tank than to build an Accord for the Chinese! I don't want to serve them anymore!

In addition, Tanaka-kun, the Chinese have a saying that having milk is a mother! Since a large part of the money you Toyota spent on R&D 90 comes from the pockets of the Chinese! Just stop nagging! Do you think this was 50 years ago? In addition, aren't Chinese consumers better to deal with than the demanding consumers at home and in North America? So don't speak ill of others! It's not good to spread it out! Mitsui took a sip of coffee before saying that compared with the intensification of right-wing ideology in China, the Japanese chief representative of Honda China has always believed that his views on Sino-Japanese relations are more rational.

"Hah! Who's on the right! I'm just a little upset to go to the launch of the '03 new race car held by the Drag Racing Team for a while! It's really TMD to see the undead! When will the Chinese team dare to come to the stage and release their developed car to the public? You say, those Chinese teams can also be considered convoys? The garbage of the street cars on the streets of Tokyo can also be called racing? Tanaka, who also took a sip of coffee, finally explained the reason why he was unhappy today. Originally, their meeting should have ended by now, but Tanaka and others, who were about to leave, were temporarily notified to attend the new car launch of a Chinese team, and they were invited by Gu Panxiong, who had a good personal relationship.

"Alright! Tanaka-kun! Just you complain a lot! Can you not give face to Gu Panxiongjun, this friend of all of us? On that piece of land in the southwest, whose car wants to go over and must not go through his operation? Since he inserted this new car launch into the rules of this meeting, we should go and see the excitement! Maybe there's a surprise! ”

Mitsui smiled and said the reason for Tanaka's depression, in fact, he himself also laughed at this new car launch event, just to see the excitement. It's really not Mitsui who underestimates the technical strength of the Chinese team. It's that those Chinese teams are too superstitious about the leading technology of their Japanese counterparts, and they don't engage in research and development, but they are looking for Japanese manufacturers to customize parts for modification!

What is motorsport for? Isn't it just to give birth to new technologies and harsh experiments with brutal competitions before applying them to civilian automobiles? Anyway, in Mitsui's view, it would be a bit of a cart before the horse for the Chinese team to do this, and it would be strange if a Japanese person came to see China's CCC coldly and did not regard this competition as a selection competition for Nissan cars in a region of Japan.

"Well, this time, in addition to Gu Jun's invitation, that Zhang Fengsheng, right! Even the guy who did it over there also played a big role! Judging by Tanaka-kun's standards, this Zhang Jun is an out-and-out angry young man! When he arrived in the United States, he thought about how to snipe at our North American market. First, he helped the Koreans open up the market in North America, and now he helped the CEO of Chery sitting next to him sign the first overseas order with the Europeans! Listening to Mitsui's words, Watanabe added, and everyone followed his line of sight to see Zhang Fengsheng who was sitting with the group of Germans and French, as well as the senior management of Chery.

"Come on! No matter how strong that Zhang is, he can't change anything by himself! However, as a peer, I still think Chery is very good! It's a pity to be in China! If it is a South Korean or Japanese company, it is hard to imagine that the government will let local companies such as Chery suffer such a violent market impact in order to vigorously support the automobile companies of other countries! The Chinese are too short-sighted! It has been like this since the beginning of Yun 10, and it is still so! Although I am now getting benefits from China, I still don't agree with their approach! ”

"There's nothing wrong with that! If you really understand the political makeup of China, you will understand! In addition to Chery, FAW, FAW and Shangzhong are also Dang's business, and Dang will not look at their business at a loss! And there are so many people in China who need jobs, the first thing the government thinks about is how to make companies profitable! Of course, the study of automotive technology should be put on the second side! But Tanaka-kun, you're right, no pains, no hard work. In terms of the core technology in the automotive field, the Chinese will always be a short-legged tiger and a clay-footed giant! But that's exactly what we want to see! Hehe! ”

"Well, this is also true, it is estimated that this press conference is also a hype given by Gu Jun himself! Let's cheer us on! It's just that what makes me unhappy is, why doesn't he use our Toyota car? In his words, I didn't give him a car and a technician in vain? Even if you don't use our Toyota, you still have your Honda and Nissan? Just got a Citroen, and he didn't know those French? Really! ”

"Hehe, that's what I'm talking about! Let's see which one Gu Jun is singing! By the way, Watanabe-kun, you haven't introduced me to this yet! ”

"Oh! You see I've told you about it! This young man's name is Takuma Sato, and he now drives F3 in the UK. There is a lot of potential to enter F1! This time, I came to China with me, and it just so happened that Bernie and several F1 team executives were now in Beijing to inspect the construction progress of the track, so Sato could meet them! It's easy to deal with in the future! ”
