While General Motors and Ford Motor are busy with this report on Yahoo Motors, Toyota, which is the object of scandal, is confused.

"Have you found out? Which department is discussing the design plan with Huaxia? Why haven't I heard a debriefing? ”

In Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, Toei Province (Toei's prefecture level is higher than that of the city), President Fujio Zhang was very unhappy in the office and questioned the design director Atsuo Fukuichi.

The American market is the most important market for Toyota, and Fujifu Zhang pays attention to the situation there every day.

Yahoo Auto channel news, he naturally saw it.

On the contrary, when the design director Atsuo Fukuichi was just asked, he was confused.

There is no idea what is going on.

In the end, under the prompting of Zhang Fujifu, the situation was clarified.

However, after investigating for most of the day, he did not find out which department was responsible for this matter.

"President, our design center has no contact with Huaxia, and it is definitely not the people below me who are in contact."

"During this time, isn't the company discussing joint ventures with Huaxia Chuncheng Automobile Group? Could it be the team in charge of the joint venture project that is approaching? ”

Atsuo Fukuichi didn't deliberately shirk responsibility there, but really confirmed it carefully, but there was no result.

"I am personally following the joint venture project of Huaxia, and no one will contact Huaxia people without authorization." Fujio Zhang immediately denied Atsuo Fukuichi's speculation, "Could it be someone from the North American Design Center who contacted him?" ”

Obviously, he still thinks that this matter is mostly a basket made up by the design department.

Before the negotiations were concluded, the news had already been exposed.

It's a shame.

"No, the North American Design Center doesn't understand it at all, they still think it's the headquarters here, and they are asking when they can give them the complete exterior drawings."

"So, the North American Design Center is very optimistic about the exterior of this pickup?"

As the president of Toyota, Fujio Zhang naturally has a few brushes.

From the words reported by the subordinates, some conclusions can be drawn.

"Yes, very optimistic, the best-selling truck in the United States is the pickup truck, judging from some of the exterior pictures exposed on Yahoo, this pickup truck is not only cool, but also compatible with elegance and ferocity, mixing several seemingly contradictory genes together, and has the potential to impact the sales champion."

As the design director of Toyota, Atsuo Fukuichi has a very keen sense of the appearance of the car.

Whether the appearance of a car is successful or not, he can basically draw conclusions at a glance.

"Continue to investigate, let all departments check, and see if anyone is in contact with Huaxia's designers." Zhang Fujifu quickly gave instructions, "At the same time, try to find out as much as possible which designer in China is from this design drawing, and find a way to buy this appearance drawing." ”

"President, I've already made arrangements, but the news I've gotten so far is a bit strange."

"What's so strange?"

"The contact address and personnel information I have obtained so far show that it was designed by the director of a small factory called Nanshan Auto Parts Factory in Huaxia, and I suspect that this information is fake."

Atsuo Fukuichi couldn't understand that such a stunning appearance could come from such a small factory.

If it was said that the professors in the two universities of Huaqing University or the magic capital made it, it would be reasonable.

"It's just to design a look, not to make the car, and if it's really out of this small factory, it's a pity that we missed it. Pickup trucks are the most popular models in the United States, and we can realize that this styling is good, and GM and Ford they will not be unaware that you have to move a little faster. ”

Toyota's development in the United States is very smooth, and it has put a lot of pressure on GM and Ford.

But so far, Toyota's pickup truck market in the United States is far inferior to others.

Obviously, Zhang Fujifu wants to take this opportunity to break this situation.

"President, I have a bold idea that may be able to win the head start in this matter."

"What do you think, hurry up!"

"Isn't the company talking about a joint venture with Huaxia? They attach great importance to this project, and if we ask Spring City Automobile Group to help us, things should be much easier. ”

As soon as Atsuo Fukuichi's proposal came out, Fujio Zhang's eyes lit up.

Although he is from Dongying, his ancestors came from China, so he is quite concerned about the situation in China.

In addition, he has personally participated in the negotiation of the joint venture project in the past year, which can be regarded as half of Huaxiatong.

Obviously, Atsuo Fukuichi's proposal is very feasible.

"In this way, you will personally go to Huaxia, don't be afraid of spending money, you must get this drawing back."

……

On the plane from Detroit to Yangcheng, Edward sat down in the first class, took out a copy of the materials prepared for him by the people of the magic capital, and read it carefully again.

"Edward, it's such a coincidence, you also go to Huaxia?"

Just as he was pondering how much he should pay to get the look he wanted, a familiar figure appeared.

Sit!

As soon as Edward raised his head, he couldn't help but feel a national curse in his heart.

Mace, the design director of Ford Motor, how can he be on the same flight as himself?

What did he go to China for?

It didn't take much thought for Edward to know that the other party's purpose was the same as his own.

"Haha!"

"It's a coincidence!"

"China has a history of 5,000 years, and I heard that there are many places of interest, so I just went over to find design inspiration."

Although Edward knew that Mace could guess the purpose of his trip to Huaxia, he still casually made an excuse.

"What a coincidence!"

"I'm looking for inspiration this time, too, why don't we go together?"

Ford's scale in the United States is smaller than GM's, after all, it is the second.

So Mace was a little worried that Edward would snatch what he wanted.

"I sometimes like to be alone and meditate, looking for inspiration for my design."

Edward refused without giving it a second thought.

Are you kidding!

If you act together, how can you go to Nanshan Auto Parts Factory?

"If you want to find design inspiration, you should go to the imperial capital, where there are more ancient buildings, and it is easier to find design inspiration."

Mace said as he sat down next to Edward.

The two of them were talking there without smiling.

However, in each other's hearts, they have made some modifications to the plan that was originally going to be thrown.

After all, no one wants to lose.
