"Mr. Cao, according to the data released by the American Automobile Dealers Association, Toyota's sales last week fell by three percent month-on-month, and the decline has a tendency to increase."

"It seems that the impact of this 'brake gate' on them is much greater than imagined."

Zeng Tingting has been eating melons with great interest these days.

Toyota's "brake door", she is also one of the participants.

Seeing in person the sensational "brake gate" in the United States from planning to implementation, and then to the current situation, her feelings are more complicated.

"Toyota has developed too fast in recent years, and many competitors have a lot of opinions about them."

"Now that I've been caught in braids, I'm definitely going to die."

"Look, not to mention the last week or two, even in the past few months, Toyota's sales have been declining sharply."

"Without a year and a half, it is impossible to fully recover the previous sales."

Since Toyota and Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. can't get along, Cao Yang will not have any politeness.

Anyway, it was American giants like Ford Motor that used the knife, and it had nothing to do with him.

"Ford has contacted me for procurement, and in the future, eighty percent of the nut plates can be purchased from Nanshan."

"In terms of wheel bolts, they also agreed to use all our products on the F150."

"In the future, it will continue to expand to more than 50%, and even in terms of wheel bearings, they also agreed to let us send a batch of samples to test."

"This order is so happy."

Zeng Tingting was so excited that she almost didn't dance.

"Switching to our wheel bolts on the F150, it looks like we're really going to lie down and make some money."

With such a big benefit from raising his hand, Cao Yang's mood was also very good.

Ford's F150 will be officially launched tonight, and Cao Yang is full of confidence in it.

This is a model that can sell 780,000 units a year, and it belongs to the nail household in the sales list of the American car industry.

"Mr. Cao, are you so confident in the F150?"

"It's just a pickup after all."

"Ford positions it as just a tool car, right?"

Zeng Tingting felt that Cao Yang was not too optimistic.

Although there are many consumers in the American auto market who like pickup trucks, there are also many consumers who like economy cars such as Accord and Civic.

"The F150 has the comfort of many luxury sedans, and is equipped with a traditional American large-displacement V8 engine, which makes it very strong off-road performance, and even many professional off-road rallies can see this pickup."

"Its sales will definitely exceed your imagination."

"When the new model is launched, it will definitely be Ford's best-selling model, and there is no one of them."

Cao Yang's explanation seemed a little pale to Zeng Tingting.

However, it was almost time to leave for the launch of the F150, and she didn't argue about anything.

……

"Cao, I'm so happy to see you again."

In the Joe Louis Stadium, Melgan, Ford's VP of Sales, immediately gave a warm hug when he saw Cao Yang.

During this time, Melgen knew better than anyone about the changes in public opinion in the American auto market.

Whoever the credit is, he also knows.

Otherwise, how could he be so enthusiastic about Cao Yang?

"Melgan, it looks like you're in a good mood."

"I'll see your wonderful introduction later."

Cao Yang stood there and exchanged pleasantries with Melgen for a while.

Originally, Ford invited him over to hype up the concept of the story of the genius designer of China and the F150.

This allows everyone to focus less on the "Firestone Tire Door".

However, now with Toyota's "brake gate" to divert the attention of public opinion, the pressure on Ford has been immediately released.

Now to hype up the topic of Chinese genius designers, it is equivalent to diverting public opinion pressure on Toyota.

That's an enemy.

Ford, of course, was reluctant to do this.

So today, Cao Yang came over to make soy sauce.

Of course, Ford did not snub this hero.

Chris, the purchasing director, was seated next to Cao Yang.

It's Melgan interesting enough.

As for what cooperation plan Cao Yang will take this opportunity to reach with Chris, this is not Melgan's concern.

……

"Edward, I heard that Ford Motor received more than 3,000 orders for the F150 on its first day on the market."

"If we knew we would have picked it up, we would have gone on the market before the F150."

At a café inside General Motors, Austin, the director of purchasing, and Edward, the director of design, each hold a cup of coffee and chat over a drink.

During this time, Cao Yang also came to visit General Motors, and Austin also had a good understanding of some of the stories.

"Our Chevrolet silverado and Ford's F150 were both designed by Huaxia Cao, and in my opinion, both models are very classic."

"But they're not exactly the same style, so even if the F150 goes on the market for a month or two, it won't affect our silverado sales."

Edward actually regretted it a little in his heart, but he definitely couldn't admit it now.

After all, their silverado will be more on the market than the F150, mainly the responsibility of the design center.

"Not necessarily."

"During this time, Toyota's 'brake door' has made many consumers re-focus their attention on American companies."

"Seizing this opportunity, we can definitely achieve a big wave of growth in sales."

As the purchasing director, Austin naturally hopes that the company's cars will sell as many as possible.

In this way, the purchasing department can better negotiate price reductions with suppliers.

"There's some truth to that."

"But overall, it's a good thing for us."

Edward showed a regretful expression on his face, and then said: "It seems that we can consider letting the sales department put the advertisement out as soon as possible, so as not to let the F150 dominate." ”

"When the time comes, you can even advertise that the silverado and F150 look by the same designer."

"We're just rubbing the light of Ford."

Ford was once the boss of the car, and in 1914 he completely changed the world car landscape with the classic Model T.

Even because of the introduction of assembly line production mode, the world's industrial production model has been brought to a higher level.

Later, General Motors took Ford off the first place.

In this way, the relationship between the two parties is naturally more special.

If it weren't for the common enemy Toyota, this time the "brake door", they would not necessarily be able to work together.

"Ford didn't make good use of Huaxia Cao's card, and we can use it well when the time comes."

Austen's suggestion, Edward was convinced.
