Ford still attaches great importance to Cao Yang's participation in the F150 listing event this time.

Not only helped to book the hotel, but also specially arranged for someone to pick up the airport from the airport.

Of course, people can't afford to be early.

Now is the time when they are at their weakest, and it is time to start a few topics to divert everyone's attention.

The F150 is such a classic model, and the appearance designer is a young man in Huaxia, which is a good gimmick in itself.

When Cao Yang set off, he had a special phone call with Ford Motor's Mays, and asked him to help make an appointment with the VP in charge of sales, and he had important things to discuss with the other party.

At first, Mace was reluctant, but after Cao Yang revealed a little information, he was more active than anyone else.

"Cao, I originally wanted to go to the Detroit airport with Melgan to meet you in person."

"But you should have heard about the situation of Ford during this time, and you really can't leave."

"The next time you come to the United States, I will definitely pick you up at the airport and take you to enjoy the scenery of the United States."

The morning after Cao Yang stayed at the hotel, Mace appeared in the lobby of the hotel with the VP Melgen, who was in charge of sales.

"Mace, we're old friends, don't be so polite."

"This time, I came early to do something for Ford."

Cao Yang's English is actually good.

But when he was in China, he basically didn't say anything.

Now that I have come to the United States, I can't help but bring a translator alone, right?

It's not impossible, the main thing is that the content of the discussion is too sensitive, and he doesn't want people to know.

"Cao, I heard that you have a way to quickly change the public opinion environment faced by Ford Motors, I don't know if this is serious?"

As VP of Ford Motor Company, Melgan is trusted by CEO Jacques Nasser.

He was able to come to the hotel to see Cao Yang in person, which was very face-saving

"Melgan, I don't think this is the place to talk."

"If you don't mind, there's a garden at the back of the hotel, and we can find an open grass to talk to?"

Cao Yang didn't want to be heard by anyone.

So finding an open place to communicate is the most appropriate.

"No problem!"

Melgen and Mace looked at each other, looking forward to the next exchange.

If an ordinary person asks Melgen to talk, he probably doesn't have time to deal with it.

But Cao Yang is such a young man from Huaxia who designed a magical appearance for the F150......

Melgen expects the other party to surprise him again.

"Cao, can you tell me more about the brake failure of Toyota cars that you mentioned on the phone?"

A few people came to an empty stone table at the back of the hotel, and after they sat down, Mace couldn't wait to cut the conversation to the point.

"Some time ago, I unexpectedly saw a report on the Yahoo car channel that Toyota Camry couldn't brake."

"I did a little bit of Google and found that there was more than just one story."

"So I have a bold guess, could it be that there is something wrong with the design of Toyota?"

Cao Yang looked at Melgen and began to answer Mace's question.

"It's just a few reports, but it doesn't mean anything."

"This kind of thing is not unique to Toyota."

"It's possible that the driver mistook the accelerator for the brake."

"It's also possible that the driver was wearing high heels and affected the brakes."

"Some of them are even just because they want to take revenge on society."

"All kinds of situations are possible."

Mace gave his answer with a frown.

To be honest, he was a little disappointed.

Cao Yang said that the surprise to Ford was like this?

"Melgan, if I'm not mistaken, more than half of the top 10 best-selling models in the United States last year were Dongying models, right?"

"Camry, Accord, Corolla, Civic, the excellent performance of these cars has greatly squeezed the market of Ford cars."

"Of course, Ford's Taurus and F150 are doing well, but that's just fine."

"Compared with the glory of the past, it is far worse."

Cao Yang didn't argue with Mace about the reason why the brakes couldn't be braked.

In his opinion, this is not the point at all.

"Cao, what do you mean?"

Melgan, as the VP of complex sales at Ford Motors, naturally sees the problem from a different perspective than Mays, the design director.

"Dongying car companies are now conquering the city in the American auto market, if they don't give them a blow, maybe the world's number one car company will be Toyota in a few years."

"Honda and Nissan's sales in the United States are also catching up with Ford, don't you think you should do something about Melgan?"

A smile appeared on Cao Yang's face.

The morning sun shone through the clouds on his face, looking a little mysterious.

"Cao, there are no outsiders here, you can put it bluntly."

"Don't worry, we at Ford will never treat our friends badly!"

"I heard that you are our supplier of nut plates and wheel nuts, and I think the cooperation between the two sides can be expanded a little more."

"I'm good friends with the purchasing director, and I can still help with this little favor."

Melgan has a feeling that there seems to be real hope for a solution to the public opinion dilemma that Ford is now facing.

This seems to be much stronger than the sales department's original hype of "the story that Huaxia design genius and F150 have to tell".

"Melgan, Toyota has had some news reports of brakes not stopping the route in just a few years."

"I think it's important for Ford to liaise with NHTSA (the U.S. Highway Safety Administration), the authority for vehicle safety regulation in the United States, in the spirit of being responsible for consumers."

"As the second largest car company in the United States, Ford must have its own familiar friends in NHTSA, right?"

"When the time comes, ask NHTSA to investigate Toyota, investigate those cases of brakes that can't brake in the past, see if there are any design flaws, and even consider looking at the source code of Toyota."

"Maybe there are some bugs in the software that will cause the car to 'accelerate unexpectedly', and it's not surprising that the car will lose control."

Cao Yang's purpose in coming to the United States ahead of schedule was to push Ford and General Motors to deal with Toyota in advance.

Originally, if it weren't for Cao Yang's promotion, the American auto giants would eventually have joined forces to build Toyota, teach it a lesson, and let them know who is the master.

Now Cao Yang throws this plan out as a solution to the crisis of public opinion at Ford Motors, which is definitely very attractive.

I didn't see that after Melgen listened to Cao Yang's words, the expression on his face kept changing.

Obviously, he is also considering the pros and cons.

Eventually, he gritted his teeth and apparently made a decision.
