Chapter 156 [Toyota's "Pedal Door", Shrek Becomes a Panda!] 】

After filming the MTV, Hayes practiced for a few days in a very poor state, and was blown up by Odom many times when he was heads-up. Odom thought he had improved, but he couldn't do it.

After the game, Jordan asked, "Chuck, why have you been so soft lately?" ”

"I didn't sleep well last night." Hayes said.

"Taylor is here, you're soft, men can't always do that!" Jordan patted Hayes on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"It's not like that." Hayes said helplessly, "I'm going to rest for a while." ”

With that, Hayes left the basketball court.

As soon as Hayes left, Johnson walked up to Jordan and said, "Michael, what kind of vision do you have?" Chuck's two beauties are obviously virgins......"

"I don't want to irritate him, have you lived so many years for me in vain? In my eyes, women have no clothes. Jordan glared and said unpleasantly.

Odom was a little embarrassed when he heard the two old perverts talking, and continued to practice shooting from a distance.

"If he is too unsuccessful because of this influence, so many women, he just wants to find little girls, they are not a way to go on like this. Hurry up and come up with an idea to solve the problem for him, if he still struggles with emotional matters at the start of the season, Bobcat will be out of luck! Jordan said urgently.

"It's the holidays, this is Hollywood, why don't you ask a few veterans to play and ask them to help with some ideas." Johnson Silver laughed.

Jordan immediately pulled out the phone and dialed a number. "You're right, I'll just find two people, with the two of them here, no matter how honest a person is, he can open his mind. Hey, Dennis, where are you? …… Damn, stop betting! I'm looking for you. ”

Hayes really didn't sleep well last night, and he's been selling stocks for days. China's bull market is coming to an end, and if you don't sell again, you're in trouble. So he kept shipping and shipping. Guangji Pharmaceutical benefited from the rise in riboflavin prices as scheduled and gained about 1,000% of the income, and Hayes made a lot of money. Converted into US dollars, without adding his existing funds and newly signed contracts, they are already worth hundreds of millions.

In just one year, he went from a base-paid player living in an apartment to a billionaire, almost like a dream.

Toyota's plan to use the funds for stock speculation has been completed, and he has also transferred to Bobcat, so he no longer needs to be polite to Toyota's people.

In order to kill Toyota, Hayes can be described as painstaking. He made friends with Mr. Obama, and after Mr. Obama announced his candidacy for president, Hayes gave Mr. Obama a beautiful Toyota RAV4 as a gift to support his campaign.

At that time, Hayes's move made Toyota happy, and if Obama succeeded in his election and became the first black president in history, driving a Toyota, it would undoubtedly increase their popularity. Toyota didn't know about Hayes's sinister intentions, and even the future president was used by him. If Obama hates Toyota, don't think about it.

Hayes asked Gao Tongxuan to find someone to send his RAV4 Toyota for quality inspection three days ago, and sure enough, it was found that there was a pedal problem. Then he immediately called Obama.

"Barack, I'm Chuck Hayes, I'm sorry to call you."

"What's the matter? My friend. Obama asked with a smile.

"I called you for your safety, didn't I give you a Toyota RAV4 before? Don't use that car just yet. My car broke down, and after testing, it was said that there was a big problem with the pedal, maybe it was on a large scale, and I suggest you also go and test it. Hayes said.

"Huh? I was out there and I had that car for my family. I immediately called them to get tested. ”

"Also, I suggest a mass test, can you contact for this? If it's not a big problem, it's a good thing, but if the Toyota car really has a quality problem, you make a statement in the name of the presidential candidate, announce the quality problem of the Toyota, and ask you to make compensation for it. Thinking about the safety of American citizens will win you the favor of the people and increase the bargaining chips for your election campaign. ”

"If I do that, it's good for me, but isn't this car you're endorsing? This will affect your endorsement image. Obama kindly reminded.

"Of course, I can't stay out of it, and if there is a problem, I will be the first to stand up and apologize to the consumer. If millions of people go to buy a Toyota because they see my endorsement, and they get into an accident, I am an indirect killer. Even if Toyota sues me for breach of contract and doesn't take a penny for the endorsement fee, I can't sell my conscience for 20 million! Hayes said loudly, looking excited. He was not excited about the safety of the Americans, but because he could finally kill Toyota. has already made a fortune by speculating in stocks with Toyota's endorsement fee, even if the endorsement fee is really returned, he doesn't care. 20 million only, this matter was exposed in advance, in addition to Toyota's sales problems, the stock price will also plummet, at least tens of billions of losses. And it was proposed by Obama that there would be endless troubles, and it was impossible for Toyota to return to its previous position.

Maybe 200 years later, history textbooks will write - "Obama, the first black president in American history, did the first good thing to do was to expose the hidden dangers of Toyota cars and really think about people's safety." ”

Obama gave Hayes a thumbs up in his heart and said, "Okay, I'll contact the U.S. safety regulator to conduct a large-scale inspection of Toyota, and if there is a real problem, I will try to speak for you, you are doing the right thing!" People will understand you! ”

Obama is not yet president, but his words carry a lot of weight, and safety regulators immediately conduct a massive inspection of Toyota.

At noon, Hayes received a call from Obama, and after testing, he concluded that after a long period of use, the sliding surface of the pedal arm and friction bar of the accelerator pedal has been used for a long time, and when using warm air (except A/C) under low temperature conditions, condensation occurs on the sliding surface, which increases friction, and there is a blockage when using the accelerator pedal, which may affect the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle. In extreme cases, when the accelerator pedal is released, it will be stuck, and the vehicle cannot slow down in time, affecting driving safety. Toyota cars do have serious quality issues.

"Chuck, you're right. Toyota cars do have problems. The safety regulator is ready to announce this. What are you going to do? ”

"Announce, I'm going to hold a press conference tonight to apologize to all the people who bought Toyotas. As for Toyota's contract, I will ask for termination, and at the moment I only get 10 million endorsement fees, and I will definitely not get the rest of the money. It's a quality issue, and I'm actually a victim. However, if there is a lawsuit, it is difficult for them to ask me to pay liquidated damages, and I don't believe that US law can allow me to sell products of poor quality and ask for compensation! Hayes laughed.

"You're the most decent person I know." Obama laughed.

Hayes held a press conference in Los Angeles to apologize to people around the world for his endorsement of Toyota. Around the same time, Obama made a declaration of protest against Toyota. He also said good things about Hayes.

Hayes is once again in the headlines. After breaking with the Rockets, he terminated his contract with Toyota.

One day after the news was announced, the governors of the four US states of Kentucky, Indiana, Mississippi and Alabama, which own Toyota's production bases, jointly sent a letter to the US political axe and Congress, demanding that the Toyota recall be treated fairly. However, a lawsuit group of 22 law firms from New York, California and other places in the United States plans to consolidate 44 lawsuits against Toyota Motor Corporation and file a national class action lawsuit against Toyota.

The official and non-governmental organizations in the United States immediately showed a trend of "encircling" Toyota. The market value of Toyota's stock plummeted.

This "pedal door" is not just a simple "crisis of confidence" for Toyota.

Although Hayes is not the strongest basketball player in the NBA now, he has become the king of the topic.

In the morning, Peter Borg went to the gym with a man with black-rimmed glasses and said that he had a job to talk to Hayes.

The man with glasses is called Mark Osborne, and he wants to ask Hayes to voice a cartoon movie.

"What movie is it?" Hayes asked.

"It's called "Kung Fu Panda", I want to ask you to dub the protagonist Panda in the film, would you like to try it? In addition to you, I've invited Taylor Swift, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Dustin Hoffman ......" Mark Osborne said.

In this movie, Hayes was impressed, the panda in the story was relatively obscene, and he had been struggling with why the panda's father was a duck...... With so many big-name stars together, of course he can't refuse. Dubbing is not the same as being on TV, and he thinks he shouldn't feel nervous.

"I'll try, what does Taylor deserve?" Hayes asked. Taylor shouldn't have been involved.

Mark Osborne laughs, "She's going to voice a little snake." ”

Hayes learned that Taylor had taken on the role of Lucy Liu.

Unlike filming movies and TV series, this time Hayes came to the spirit as soon as he entered the studio. said a lot of lines in one breath, many of which were different from what was written in the script, but more appropriate. He also has facial expressions and movements, and it looks like he is Kung Fu Panda.

Mark Osborne immediately decided that the role would be handed over to Hayes. Hayes gives the character a soul and realism, and it's very likable.

"Chuck, you've done a great job, and the voice of this character will be handed over to you, and tomorrow, the others will be in place. Can you change the timing of your training? Mark Osborne asked.

"No problem, I've had a lot of things going on lately, I'm not in shape to practice, and both Johnson and Jordan are ready to let me take a few days off to rest." Hayes smiled wryly. He was still a little messy in his heart, Taylor went to shoot a few other MTVs, Gao Tongxuan also deliberately avoided him, he didn't come to the stadium to watch the practice, he didn't know where to run after saying a few words every day, and he hardly saw anyone.

Mark Osborne smiled, "See you here tomorrow morning at half past nine." ”

Hayes came out of the studio and was considering whether to call Gao Tongxuan and ask what she was doing. The phone rang.

"Boy, you make guest appearances in Hollywood movies, TV and MTV, and you don't even notify me to come and play, it's too unusual!" Barkley's scream came from the phone, and Hayes hurried away from the receiver.

"Charles, I didn't know you had time, you're interested in this too?"

"Of course, Hollywood is a mecca for pickles, and a friend and I will be here tomorrow! That guy wants to meet you, too, so get ready to get us covered. Barkley laughed.

"Your friend? Do I know each other? Hayes asked.

"You must know, it's Dennis Rodman, he wants to teach you how to grab rebounds!" Barkley said.

"Big Bug" wants to teach him to grab rebounds? The super assistant coach has added one more.
