After that, the board of directors of the Northern California company, again dispatched, and the technicians of the battery research institute of Infinity Company, came to the island country of Aichi Prefecture.

Headquarters of Toyota Motor Corporation.

At this time, Toyota was in the midst of a crisis of "Toyota Recall".

Toyota's recall door is a crisis event involving multiple quality problems, specifically covering a series of chain reactions such as mat doors, brake doors, and pedal doors.

The event originally originated in the United States.

A Toyota Lexus driven by a police officer was involved in an accident because the accelerator pedal was stuck on the footpad, resulting in the death of a family of four.

The American media later exposed more negative news about Toyota vehicles, which caused widespread public doubts about the quality of Toyota vehicles.

This was followed by two Toyota joint ventures in China, GAC Toyota and FAW Toyota, announcing a recall of some Camry, Yaris, Vios and Corolla sedans starting in August due to defective parts.

A total of 690,000 vehicles were involved.

This is the largest number of recalls since Huaxia implemented the car recall system in 2004.

In addition, after the incident, Toyota also concealed and destroyed information related to vehicle safety issues in an attempt to evade legal sanctions.

This behavior further exacerbated the negative impact of the Toyota recall gate incident.

It has also been criticized by the people of the island country and the media.

Overall, the Toyota recall gate is a very serious quality problem incident that has caused great damage to Toyota's brand image and reputation.

Therefore, when he heard that the members of the board of directors of the Northern California company and the technicians of Infinity Company were visiting, Akio Toyoda, the president of Toyota, did not hesitate to rush to the airport to greet them.

He urgently needs a new topic to divert public attention from the "recall gate".

Under the overwhelming publicity of Toyota, the public has gradually shifted their attention to solar energy, which is the hottest at the moment.

The three parties conducted in-depth exchanges on the popularization and application of hydrogen energy.

It's just that when the technicians of Infinity's battery research institute talked about opening patents for hydrogen-related technologies.

The fifth-generation heir of the Toyota family, Daisuke Toyoda rejected them without thinking about it.

He also said that unless Infinity can send a figure of sufficient weight to personally come to the island country to discuss the issue of hydrogen energy technology patents.

Otherwise, nothing to talk about.

The technicians of the battery research institute had no choice but to return to China with this result.

A week later.

Toyota sent a president, as well as technical staff and sales personnel, along with the board of directors of the Northern California company, to take a direct flight to Rotterdam, the second largest city in the Netherlands.

Rotterdam has the largest port in the world.

It is located at the confluence of the Rhine and Maas rivers in Europe, with a unique geographical location and superior transportation conditions, and is an important gateway to Europe.

The group got off the plane and were picked up by the local "Connicks" convoy.

Many media reporters who had just received the news only hurriedly took pictures of them getting into the car and watched as the long motorcade, escorted by the local Dutch police, left the airport.

Thomas, chairman of the board of directors of the Northern California company, and Hase, president of Toyota Battery Co., Ltd., were riding in a luxury Bentley RV.

In the interior of the car, there are two rows of opposite leather sofas, and there is a small table in the middle, with a super shock-absorbing design, so that everyone can not feel the vibration in the car at all.

There is also a small bar next to it, and the soft light shines on the bar, which looks very cozy.

Directly across from Thomas and Hase, sat an old man in good spirits.

He is the boss of the "Conix" company that is going to meet this time.

Conix is the largest bus and bus company in the Netherlands, with more than 2,300 buses and buses across the country, making an important contribution to public transport in the Netherlands

Offer.

Thomas seemed to be very familiar with him, hugged him affectionately, and introduced him: "This is the president of the battery company of the Toyota Group, Mr. Hase."

"The fuel cell I talked to you about last time was developed by their company."

Hasei has worked for Toyota for 12 years, rising from a most ordinary skilled worker to the position of president today.

Once, at least half of his time in the company was spent on research.

Looking at his appearance, he did not depart from the bookish atmosphere of researchers.

It's not so much the president of the company as a not-so-competent technician.

As for the research on fuel cells and biological batteries, the island countries have carried out research for a long time.

In the past, Haseya was specialized in this area of research.

They have a deep accumulation in the field of hydrogen fuel cell technology, starting research and development in the field of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles as early as 1992, and launched the world's first hydrogen fuel cell concept car in 1996.

Their hydrogen fuel cells have significant technical advantages in terms of power density, hydrogen bottle quality, cell durability, etc.

This time, they were also instructed by the head office to accompany the Northern California Solar Energy Company to market the hydrogen fuel cell to the largest bus company in the Netherlands.

But according to the current scenario.

Mr. Thomas had actually negotiated with the owner of the bus company for a long time.

Coming over on your own is just a formality to introduce them to the performance of the latest hydrogen fuel cells.

A thought flashed in his heart, and he quickly lowered his head, bowed deeply to the other party in the car, and said, "I am the president of Toyota Battery Co., Ltd., Hase, please take care of me!"

"You're welcome, Mr. Hase, we're also working together for mutual benefit, hahaha!" The old man sitting across from him stretched out his hand enthusiastically, "My name is Keddle, and the Conix Bus Company is our family business, so it's a good thing!"

The assistant next to him opened the small bar in the car, took out a bottle of champagne from the Xiaoice box, filled everyone with a glass, and put it on the small table.

Through the scenery outside the car window, it can be seen that the vehicle is moving fast, and the wine in the wine glass is not pouring and shaking.

Kedel picked up a glass of champagne, smiled and nodded to Hase, and said to Thomas, "Mr. Thomas, you're in a great position right now, and the whole world is talking about your Northern California Solar Corporation."

"Everyone is saying that even Rockefeller will fall at your feet!"

"Hehe, it's just a small achievement, not enough to worry about." Thomas smiled faintly, "The production of solar flakes is still relatively limited, and it can only supply a small part of the land."

"At present, we supply electricity to Qiongzhou Province in China, and it is just enough."

"If you want to build solar power plants around the world, you can't do it in the short term, so you can only build it step by step."

"Then we'll negotiate..." Mr. Keeder was more anxious, and immediately couldn't help but ask, "Can you supply us on time?"

"You mean the liquid hydrogen supply station? Of course, no problem!" Thomas took a sip of champagne, pointed to the Hase, and said, "Look, didn't I invite President Hase? Without sincerity, I wouldn't have come to Rotterdam."

"Our latest solar power plant is producing hydrogen by the sea, and it has been filled with enough liquid hydrogen for you."

"When you negotiate here, our company will be able to come to Rotterdam soon and build a liquid hydrogen supply station."

"That's great!" Kedel slapped his thigh excitedly, "Over the years, we have had enough of Shell's gas, gasoline is rising every year, and if you are too expensive, they may not be able to supply it enough."

"Now, we can change all the company's buses to hydrogen fuel cell supply in the future, so that we don't have to ask the oil company anymore!"
