Chapter 1286: Follow-up and Teleportation
"Huh? How did you end up here, Han? ”
"What did you do in the hospital, were you sick? What's going on? ”
"Yesterday was at the Paris Motor Show, this morning's news report, I saw it, how could it suddenly come to our UK....."
The surrounding reporters stretched out the recording equipment and asked with their expressions excited, waiting for Han Xuan to speak.
Yesterday, Daimler-Benz executive officer Kodlin made two remarks in an interview with reporters, which quickly spread around the world and became hot news.
On the way to Cambridge just now, the executive officer of Kessten Miller made a phone call to Han Xuan and told him that many franchisees of Hans Automobile Group's 4S stores had called the headquarters to inquire about the matter.
Many sales licensees who are preparing to invest in decoration are frightened by the overwhelming news, thinking that there is really a problem with the quality of that batch of new cars, even if the quality is fine, they can't afford such a long production time.
Many dealers take out bank loans to open their stores, and the later they make a profit, the more they will lose, and if they start making money after a year or two, they will be overwhelmed by the heavy repayment burden.
Fortunately, there are more people who praise the beauty and fashion of those cars, and the vast majority of them are not influenced by the media, they are all chasing after the wind, and there is no proof that there are real safety risks in the products of Hans Group.
Dealers found that the rave reviews were overwhelming, and they immediately had confidence in the Hans Automotive Group's products, which were easily appeased, and the impact was more or less serious, but not too serious.
Sales leaders in several regions around the world are ready to travel to France to meet with the Kelsen Miller executive to discuss solutions.....
Compared to the Hans Automotive Group, the Daimler-Benz Group is much more miserable.
Countless mainstream newspapers have talked about this matter intentionally or unintentionally, praising Mercedes-Benz's new car to the sky, and the German "Berlin Morning Post" praised it, and did not shy away from saying bluntly that people who buy Mercedes-Benz cars now are fools, and it is better to wait for half a year to buy them.
The editor-in-chief of the same German "Stuttgart Zeitung" is more vicious, saying at the beginning of the article: "Mercedes-Benz, the next generation of new cars released at this auto show is extremely remarkable, and customers who bought cars in the first two years should regret it to death, and I hope that the Mercedes-Benz Group can allow them to exchange old cars for new cars......"
These two newspapers have the shadows of Volkswagen and BMW respectively behind the scenes.
The storm is already brewing around the world, and according to the executive of Kersten Miller, a large number of American car buyers have already gone to Mercedes-Benz dealerships to cancel their orders today.
Judging from the article alone, they are all praising Mercedes-Benz, but the situation seems to be a little wrong, and the Germans who read the newspaper were surprised to find that these two newspapers, which were originally deeply involved with the Volkswagen Group and the BMW Group, actually turned their mouths to praise the products of the Daimler-Benz Group, and they were a little puzzled.
And the dealers of the Daimler-Benz Group in various countries around the world suddenly realized that the cars in their stores seemed to be inexplicably unsold.
Since the opening of the Paris Motor Show, customers have either asked for a refund of their deposits or asked when the new cars used for display will go on sale, and they have not paid any attention to the old cars.
The executive of Kodlin, who returned to Germany, was already stupefied after reading these newspapers this morning, and was silent for a long time after the news of the return wave from the dealers.
He didn't dare to tell the directors about it, knowing in his heart that the company was about to face a big crisis.
Kodelin himself is a good person, and quickly gathered the sales planning team to discuss the discount promotion, in an attempt to resist the impending sales cold wave......
Even Han Xuan himself, if he encounters the situation faced by Daimler-Benz Group, he will feel tricky, and this is simply an unsolvable dead end.
If the price of the cash car is greatly reduced, although it will have a certain stimulating effect on the market and digest a huge number of inventory products, it will inevitably cause a second blow to the reputation of Mercedes-Benz.
Those customers who bought cars before will not only spend more money, but also buy old models, which will be even more unhappy, and the credibility accumulated over decades will be dragged into the quagmire, if not completely, and other companies will never let go of this good opportunity to discredit it.
And a small price reduction does not play a big role in the sales of existing cars, customers who can buy Mercedes-Benz do not care about those small money, just save a little bit, so why not spend more money to buy a new car that can be popular for many years before it will be eliminated?
In any case, this time the Mercedes-Benz Group will definitely suffer, even if the new car is launched, it will not be able to make up for the loss in the short term, especially the loss of reputation.
Han Xuan is the biggest winner, because only Mercedes-Benz can affect him among the same class cars released this time, and Mercedes-Benz's proud "heritage and reputation" will be smeared, which will definitely promote the sales of Han's Automobile Group.
He had already taken these into account before he said that to reporters yesterday, and he was not surprised when he learned the news.
Having controlled several large multinational companies for so long, and has been exposed to it for a long time, with the help of professional managers and think tanks, Han Xuan himself rarely touches these tricks personally, but everyone who should know knows it.
When someone provokes him, he doesn't mind showing his "fist", as he grows up, the power of the protective umbrella of "age" gradually weakens, and it is necessary to show off his force to the outside world.
This time, many car company executives were frightened by his decisive move, and dared to cut the "heritage" of Daimler-Benz Group in public, which is clearly not afraid of forming a mortal enemy with it!
But if you think about it carefully, Han Xuan really doesn't seem to be afraid of Daimler-Benz Group.
His industrial coverage is too wide, breaking one or two "roots" will not hurt his muscles and bones, even if all his enterprises are finished, his grandfather, his grandmother, his grandfather, and even his father's snow-capped mountain ranch can make Han Xuan continue to live happily, and what is even more terrifying is that he is still young and has unlimited development prospects......
The "willow branch" that Han Xuan planted casually back then has now slowly grown into a big tree, and the entire Han family is like a forest that shades each other.
Recently, someone privately discussed that the composition of his family is very similar to that of a consortium, except that there is no mutual control and infiltration, but is maintained by blood relations.
So many companies, directly or indirectly, are involved in the livelihood of millions of families in the United States, and their influence is already more terrifying than that of ordinary medium-sized conglomerates!
They couldn't help but wonder how this family, which had only more than $10 billion in assets a few years ago, developed at an unbelievably fast speed.
Some economists have found that Han Xuan's investment direction, except for high-tech, has no trajectory to follow at all, and the only thing in common is that it is very profitable.
Starbucks and East West Bank, Viagra patents, Trump Real Estate, which no one was willing to help at the beginning, etc., after Han Xuan used a large amount of money to invest, they all helped him make money, and what is even more miraculous is that he can even dig up treasures and pick up money!
People were confused about where so much money for investment came from, and later a senior official of the outgoing US tax bureau revealed that Han Xuan had paid a large amount of taxes in the past few years, with a scale of hundreds of millions of dollars, from investments in Mexico.
Thinking of the economic crisis in Mexico, many people were frightened, and then they realized that Han Xuan had also taken a bite of the big cake back then, and it was hundreds of millions of dollars just to pay taxes......
At this point, he replied to the reporters: "No, I'm not sick, I'm just here to visit my friend's family, and I happened to see Mr. Hawking and came over to say hello."
I've got something to do later, and I'm very tight, so I don't have time to interview you today, sorry. ”
These reporters rushed to hear that Hawking's condition was worse, and there were only four or five people, Han Xuan spoke very politely, although they felt pity, but no one had a dead face to be interviewed, and after taking a few photos of him and Hawking, he asked a few small questions, and then left quickly.
"Is Mr. Hawking getting sicker?" Han Xuan asked the doctor next to him.
Without waiting for the doctor to answer, Hawking himself spoke first: "Yes..... , muscle-dystrophic ...... Lateral sclerosis, there is no cure.
The doctor told me...... Say, I only have two years to live, and I can live so long..... time, I'm already satisfied.
This time, it's really dying.
Can you...... Fulfill one of my wishes? ”
His voice is like that of a robot, and he can't speak, so he can only rely on his facial muscles to synthesize his voice through the machine.
There are a few large teeth on the side of the mouth, and the teeth are very yellow due to the frequent use of medicine and the inability to brush their teeth.
Han Xuan knew that he was bragging, because in his previous life, this guy lived until 2015, and at the age of seventy, he often went to "big health care" and was a frequent visitor to strip clubs.
Netizens can only wonder and speculate that Hawking only has three fingers on his body that can move, what can he do in that kind of place?
The god replied that it was okay to lie down, and the other party could move, ( ̄▽ ̄) as if he had touched the truth of the matter......
"What wish? If you're not embarrassed, maybe I can help you get there. Han Xuan said angrily.
"Let..... That bear of yours, help me push the cart.
I'm in the circus, I've seen bears..... Cart, it feels like it should be fun. ”
“…… Your wheelchair is electric, well, you don't need to be pushed at all. ”
"You just ...... said it would help me achieve it, I ...... I'm dying...... A dying man's ...... "Hawking has a very eccentric personality, loves to play tricks on people, and occasionally swears, so it's not surprising that he plays like this.
"Okay, okay, then you tell me, is it possible to teleport people with the teleportation that my friend Isabelli is researching?"
The previous work-free engine, which was similar to the "warp engine", was now abandoned by Isabelli and began to work on another project, and Han Xuan was very interested in it.
Some time ago, Australian scientists successfully decomposed a laser light, and collected it completely in another laboratory in an instant without any substance, making the plot in science fiction a reality.
This made people see the possibility of "teleportation", and when Isabelli learned about it, she immediately prepared to participate in it with great interest.
"Yes...... Probably, but not now, the technology is not developed enough.
I...... Talking to her on the phone a lot, Isabelle, very ...... Clever, some ideas are quite ..... Yes, lately she's been in the ...... Oxford. ”
Hawking speaks very slowly, which is good considering his physical disability.
I hadn't spoken to Isabelle on the phone for a long time, and Han Xuan didn't know that she had also come to the UK.
At this time, thinking that since they were all in the UK, they should call her and ask, nodded to Hawking and said, "Pooh is outside."
If you give it honey, it may agree, but it's useless for me to say, you can discuss it yourself. ”
Hawking looked puzzled, thinking that he had heard it wrong, the other party was a bear, how could he use this word, and asked uncertainly: "...... Consult? ”
"Yes, when you see Pooh, tell him what he wants to do, as long as there is enough honey, anything can be solved......"
