Chapter 601: You Win!
At this moment, Chu Hao's phone rang suddenly, Chu Hao picked up the phone and looked at it, only to see that the caller ID showed a phone number in the United States.
"It can't be a scam call. ”
As soon as he said it casually, Chu Hao hung up the phone.
Scammers these days just like to get some foreign calls, unknown calls.
On the other end of the phone, listening to the busy sound of the mobile phone, John Morgan paused for a moment and hung up the phone for him.
It really makes no sense, he called, and even the president didn't dare to hang up like that.
Frowning, John Morgan dialed Chu Hao's phone again, but the phone didn't ring twice and was hung up again.
At this time, John Morgan's temper came up, he didn't believe that Chu Hao really didn't answer, and made several phone calls.
But on the other side of the phone, Chu Hao swept the screen of his mobile phone, and hung up the phone again.
"In these years, those who are liars are so persistent, it seems that liars are not easy to do. Chu Hao sighed.
After a while, the phone finally stopped ringing, and instead a text message came.
Chu Hao opened it and read it word by word: "The Morgan consortium will not admit defeat!"
After reading the text message, Chu Hao suddenly pondered, "The phone call just now, don't be from the Morgan consortium." ”
The more Chu Hao thought about it, the more likely it was, if it weren't for the Morgan consortium, how could the person who called him be so persistent.
"The Morgan consortium will not admit defeat, if you don't admit defeat, I will fight until you admit defeat. The corners of Chu Hao's mouth curled slightly, and he sneered.
Driving directly to Huapan headquarters, Chu Hao took the elevator directly to the top floor, which is the office of the company's executives.
Pushing open Ling Shuang's office, I saw Ling Shuang lying on her stomach in a pile of documents, busy with her work.
"Still busy?" said Chu Hao in greeting.
Ling Shuang glanced at Chu Hao with some resentment, she really didn't know how some people could be so thick-skinned, since she started Huapan, she didn't know that there was a day when she couldn't be busy.
also knew that he had said the wrong thing, Chu Hao smiled wryly, and then sat on the chair next to him without saying a word.
also knew that Chu Hao was a broken virtue, Ling Shuang didn't bother to worry about him, and continued to deal with the official affairs in her hands by herself, if she was worried about Chu Hao in everything, she would not be able to care about it if she was tired to death.
After a long time, Ling Shuang stretched his waist, then made Chu Hao a cup of coffee with his own hands, and then said, "Chu Dong, why are you here today." ”
Chu Hao grinned, how could he hear a sour taste from these words.
Ling Shuang just looked at Chu Hao directly, she was sour.
Originally, I thought that after two years of hard work in Panxi, I finally moved back to Yanjing, but I moved over, but Chu Hao ran to Panxi instead.
Although he knew that Chu Hao was also busy with business, Ling Shuang's heart couldn't help but feel a little sour.
Yes, Chu Hao knows it, why Confucius said that only villains and women are difficult to raise, they are really not inferior to those who are close, and those who are far away are resentful.
"It seems that someone from the Morgan consortium called me today, but I didn't answer. ”
As he spoke, Chu Hao showed Ling Shuang the text message from the Morgan Consortium.
After reading it, Ling Shuang couldn't help but laugh, although he didn't admit defeat when he read the content, he felt that there was a smell of being strong inside and outside in this text message, but he felt a little like wanting to borrow a donkey from the slope, otherwise why would he call him so much.
"Then let's start the final plan. Ling Shuang said.
Chu Hao nodded, it seems that the previous fatal blow was not painful enough for the Morgan consortium, it was time to give them another blow.
At this time, New York State.
"Huapan is not prepared to give us a chance to reconcile. John Morgan said.
Chu Hao didn't guess wrong, indeed, the purpose of John Morgan's call was to borrow the slope to get off the donkey.
It's just a pity that Chu Hao didn't answer his call, which made John Morgan very faceless.
He didn't want to talk about such a shameful thing, so he had to say that Hua Pan had no intention of reconciliation.
"It's a problem. Okuda Shuo said with a frown.
They had sworn that they would be able to block the news, but they didn't expect that times seemed to have changed, and people could not only get information from TV stations and newspapers, but now they can get the information they want to know through all kinds of online social media.
Although they reacted in a timely manner and quickly blocked the news from the Internet, they could not stop the netizens from circulating messages among each other.
Not to mention that now, things are getting bigger and bigger, and even their media have turned back.
In this regard, they can at most accuse each other, the other party is not strict in management, and the others are helpless.
After all, things have already made a big fuss, and no matter how they are blocked, they can't be blocked.
Not to mention, there is another Huapan who has been adding fuel to the fire inside.
Therefore, they wanted to reconcile with Huapan.
To be honest, in addition to the fact that this incident is a bit big, the most important reason is because in the past three months, their losses have been too great.
Since the war with Huapan, they have lost more than two billion dollars, and almost all companies are complaining.
If it is said that the loss of more than 2 billion US dollars, it can be effective, but the key problem is that after the loss of more than 2 billion US dollars, not to mention the no effect at all, Huapan can still expand by 30% and swallow up more than 30% of the titanium alloy market.
Now there is such a scene again, how can they fight with Hua Pan.
But now, on the contrary, Hua Pan doesn't give them a way to live, and he doesn't talk to them about reconciliation or non-reconciliation at all.
Now John Morgan and the three of them really have the feeling of being played by shrimp in the shallows of the dragon swimming, and being bullied by dogs in Pingyang.
When will they actually let a small business in China, which has just been established for less than two years, be forced to do this.
"What now?" Okuda asked.
Now, the person who is under the most pressure is none other than him.
After all, consumers buy products from Toyota, and now that Toyota's products have problems, if they don't look for Toyota, who else can consumers find.
"What else can I do if I drag it. Lakshmi Mittal sneered.
Now the old guy Okuda Shuo is finally in a hurry, and it is not the time to watch the tiger fight from the other side in the first place.
"Left, there is another way, that is, to use Huapan's products, and this is probably the only and best way. Okuda looked gloomy and looked at Lakshmi Mittal coldly.
This time it was Lakshmi Mittal's turn to turn red, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and his expression was clearly about to eat Okuda Shuo.
In the face of Lakshmi Mittal's hideous expression, the corners of Okuda's mouth still kept a sneer, fighting with him, Lakshmi Mittal was still a little tender.
It's a big deal, Toyota uses Huapan's titanium alloy, and in the end it was Lakshmi Mittal himself who was anxious, and now he dares to laugh at him Okuda Shuo, I really don't know whether to live or die.
"Mr. Okuda, don't be joking at this time. John Morgan hurried to the round.
Okuda laughed twice, but did not speak, as if to give John Morgan a face.
However, at this time, Okuda Shuo really thought so, or rather, he felt that reconciliation with Hua Pan was probably the only way to solve this incident.
Now he can indeed ignore these consumers, after all, Toyota's products are qualified, no matter what third-party identification, he can say such things with confidence.
But what about that?
What to do in the future?
Now that consumers already know that the titanium alloy used by Toyota is 40% lower than the titanium alloy produced by Huapan, if Toyota continues to use the titanium alloy produced by Feihuapan, will anyone buy Toyota's products in the future?
Based on his years of research on consumers, I'm afraid no one will buy it.
In other words, the only solution now is that Toyota also uses Huapan's products, otherwise there is no other way, unless the titanium alloy produced by ArcelorMittal Group can also achieve the same performance as Huapan.
However, he thought, this is unlikely.
"Mr. Mittal, do you think there's anything that can be done now?" asked John Morgan.
"No way. Lakshmi Mittal sighed and said helplessly.
Hua Pan's move is really a killer move, he doesn't have any way, he can still use price reduction to deal with it before, I'm afraid it's not easy to reduce the price now.
The 40 percent performance gap cannot be made up for by price reductions.
To be honest, at this time, unless you can study a titanium alloy with the same performance as Huapan, it is not easy to use any method.
But can they develop a titanium alloy with the same properties as Huapan?
I'm afraid not!
No, this morning, Professor Steven had declared himself sick and needed to recuperate at home.
When I am sick at this time, I am obviously unwilling to take responsibility!
At the thought of this, Lakshmi Mittal's expression became hideous and distorted, and Professor Steven would vomit out for him as much as he ate.
Suddenly, Okuda Shuo's secretary walked in in a panic and said something in Okuda's ear.
And Okuda Shuo's face also turned very pale in an instant.
"What's wrong?" asked John Morgan, concerned.
At this time, he had a bad premonition.
"A large crowd of consumers, gathered at the gate of Toyota's headquarters in the Americas, burned a hundred Toyota cars. Okuda Shuo's face turned pale and said in a cold sweat.
What to burn the car, smash the car, is undoubtedly the most feared thing for a car company, which represents the extreme distrust of consumers for the company, as well as the spurning of the product, which is undoubtedly a huge impact on the sales of the product, and it is an invisible damage to the reputation of the company.
Not to mention that now, a hundred cars were burned at once, and the trouble was so big that it could be described as piercing the sky.
John Morgan and Lakshmi Mittal also looked extremely bad.
Everyone is a business, and they have all done a good job, so they naturally know how much influence burning cars has on Toyota.
"This must have been done by that kid from Hua Pan!" Okuda Shuo's eyes widened and he said sharply.
He now has a desperate heart with Chu Hao.
John Morgan and Lakshmi Mittal nodded, they agreed with Okuda Shuo's judgment, and even how the video was circulated on the Internet, they all felt that Chu Hao did it.
After a few breaths, Okuda Shuo sat back in his chair, his face pale.
He suddenly realized now, even if he knew that this thing was done by Chu Hao, but what could he do.
He didn't have the slightest idea about Chu Hao.
Moreover, he is still very clear that if things are not dealt with in time, then things will get worse and worse, this time it is to burn a hundred cars, then next time it may be two hundred, three hundred, or even more.
"Two gentlemen, I don't know if you have a way to increase the quality of titanium alloy by forty percent. Okuda asked suddenly.
Lakshmi Mittal shook his head, if he had a way, he wouldn't be sitting here stupidly with Okuda.
"Then I'm sorry, this time the alliance Toyota withdrew. ”
With that, Okuda stood up, bowed to the two, and then walked towards the gate without looking back.
John Morgan tried to keep him, but he stood up, shouted Okuda's name, and suddenly found that he seemed to have nothing to say.
Indeed, what's the use of forcibly keeping Okuda Shuo.
After all, the problem is here, and if the problem is not solved, it will be useless for him to leave Okuda Shuo behind.
"It's over!"
Lakshmi Mittal shook his head and said with a mournful review.
John Morgan's mouth opened twice, and finally he didn't say anything, and his body fell hard to the couch, as if petrified, and he didn't move.
Indeed, it's over, it's all over.
Toyota's withdrawal is just the beginning, and successive Boeing, Airbus and other OEMs will withdraw.
After all, no one can withstand such accusations from consumers for the use of low-quality, low-performance titanium alloy products.
In other words, these OEMs will fall into the arms of Huapan in a blink of an eye.
In this way, the market share they have worked hard to protect will disappear like falling apart and melting the ice and snow, and will be snatched away by Huapan.
Even if Huapan can't snatch all the titanium alloy market share in the end, it can only mean that Huapan's production capacity is not enough, and it is not something else.
It's over, it's really over, it's all over!
John Morgan fumbled with his phone and typed it out with trembling hands, and you win!
Then I pressed the send button.
Looking at the information displayed on his mobile phone, the corners of Chu Hao's mouth curled slightly, he had indeed won.
"Mr. Ling, Toyota, Boeing, Airbus, Honda, Chevrolet...... and so on have sent us a letter of intent to purchase titanium alloy. ”
An Xiaohan held a pile of documents and broke into Ling Shuang's office out of breath.
Ling Shuang and Chu Hao smiled slightly, and said in unison: "Wait first, tell Toyota, Boeing, Airbus, Honda that Huapan's production is limited, and whoever they pay the highest price will sell Huapan's titanium alloy to." ”
