The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Chapter 254: The Panic of a Powerful Opponent [Please Order the Whole Book! ]

Feng Tianjing also finished reading the entire news, and he became a little restless.

Because, if this news report is completely true, it would be terrible!
The new advanced engine can even achieve a fuel consumption as low as 4.8 liters per kilometers?
This has created a world-class low fuel consumption record!
Moreover, its acceleration is surprisingly powerful. The 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine is even more powerful than the Crown's 3.0-liter engine?

what on earth is this kind of happenings?
Moreover, there are many things that make Feng Tianjing feel shocked.

What he couldn't stand the most was that this new car developed by Longguo, which was said to cost only a dozen dollars, actually used remote key entry, electronic lifting and lowering windows, and a highly integrated central control system.

The functions of this car are really quite advanced!

The configuration of the Crown is almost surpassed!

They only sell this car for 16.88?
If this is true, will Fengtian’s cars still sell well?
Feng Tianjing's face also showed uncertainty.

He suspected that this was hype from the Long Kingdom.

But then he remembered: CCTV is a very serious and large media!
The 7 o'clock news is the most important news program.

Generally speaking, we will never report fake news.

Feng Tianjing was originally still thinking about how to compete with Volkswagen.

But now, he suddenly realized that it is very likely that Fengtian’s biggest enemy in the Longguo market is not Volkswagen, but Longguo’s own domestically produced Hongqi sedan!

Feng Tianjing also picked up the phone and called Koizumi Toshishu.

As soon as the call was connected, Koizumi Toshisuke answered the call immediately.

"Good evening, President!"

Koizumi Toshisuke also greeted Feng Tianjing, with a little panic in his tone.

Feng Tianjing also said: "Xiaoquan, have you watched the 7 o'clock news on CCTV in Longguo today?"

At this moment, Koizumi Toshisuke is outside drinking and eating with some friends.

How does he have time to watch TV?

"Boss, I'm having dinner outside with some friends right now."

"It's a friend from the Magic City. I hope to find out something about the situation in the Magic City."

Koizumi said in a low voice.

In fact, he was just having a drink with a few friends tonight, and then he had a nice chat with a female employee from another company.

Koizumi is daydreaming.

Feng Tianjing also said seriously: "The Chinese have launched their own advanced self-developed new car: Hongqi H1! Just now, their CCTV 7 o'clock news broadcast this news!"

"According to their report, this new car is very advanced and has many technological innovations!"

"You must take action immediately and use your connections to find out if this matter is reliable!"

"Also, if this news is true, then we must know clearly when they plan to start mass production!"

"Take action now!"

Koizumi Toshisuke quickly agreed: "Yes! I will take action immediately!"

After hanging up the phone, Koizumi Toshisuke did not dare to neglect it. He quickly called his assistant to inquire about the details of the Hongqi H7 on the 1 o'clock news tonight.

After the questioning, Koizumi Toshisho felt that the situation seemed really serious.

Because he can be sure: this news is absolutely true!
The Chinese are very cautious, especially when it comes to the 7 o'clock news on CCTV. If they don't verify the facts clearly, they won't broadcast it at all!

Koizumi Toshisho thought, I might as well call Pangu Technology's consultation hotline to ask what's going on.

Perhaps, only in this way can we obtain first-hand information.

Others who seek help from others through connections may not necessarily get any reliable information.

Toshisuke Koizumi called the Pangu Technology Consulting Hotline.

He called for the first time, but found that the line was busy?

Koizumi Toshisho thought, it seems that the influence of the 7 o'clock news is really great.

It is estimated that many people will call Pangu Technology’s hotline for consultation.

Koizumi Toshisho made three consecutive calls, and the third time the call was finally connected.

After the call was connected, Toshisuke Koizumi began to consult as a consumer.

Is this car ready for mass production? When will it start mass production? What will the price be? Has the new technology of this car been applied for international patents?

Koizumi Toshisuke discovered with a heavy heart that his consultation went very smoothly.

It seemed like the operator was well prepared.

There are very neat and accurate answers to various questions.

However, what he consulted made him feel devastated.

What the hell? Has the Hongqi H1 already had its production line ready for mass production? And once it goes into mass production, will the output be quite high?
Moreover, they are actually planning to recruit dealers from all over the country in the near future?
Finally, they also plan to start a nationwide subscription campaign in the next few days?

Oh my god! Isn't this too cruel?
This is a direct trick on Feng Tian!

The factory building at Fengtian is almost completed, the production line has been moved in, and we are planning to get started!

Well, you guys have developed a very advanced car?

This is a devastating disaster for Toshisuke Koizumi!

He didn't quite know how to deal with this hurdle.

With a heavy heart, he called Feng Tianjingye's cell phone.

Feng Tianjing also quickly answered the call.

He immediately attacked Koizumi Toshisuke with a barrage of questions: "What did you do?"

"The other party has established the China Passenger Vehicle Group. They have successfully developed a high-performance self-developed luxury car, and you didn't even get any news!"

"I am so disappointed in you!"

"You are such a waste!"

Obviously, Feng Tianjing has also verified the authenticity of the news through relevant channels himself.

Because of this, Feng Tianjing is a little crazy now.

Koizumi Toshisho felt so wronged!

I'm not specialized in this kind of intelligence, and I still have a lot of things to do. It's understandable that I didn't know about this matter, right?

But now, the other party has put all the responsibilities on me.

Although Koizumi Toshisho felt very wronged, he still didn't dare to say no.

He could only listen obediently.

Feng Tianjing also vented his emotions.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He also knew that he couldn't put all the responsibility on Koizumi Toshisho.

Now, if we want to remedy the situation and defeat our competitor Hongqi H1 in the Longguo market, we must come up with more advanced models and more cost-effective functions!

Foot basin cars do have a relatively large reputation and popularity in Longguo now, and ordinary Longguo people also recognize Fengtian cars.

However, when powerful domestically produced cars appear, the vast majority of Chinese people will definitely choose their own brands.

After all, in today's Dragon Country, the people's sense of national pride has been generally cultivated.

"Koizumi, we have to make some changes!"

"We wanted to sell the outdated version of Corolla in the Longguo market."

"Now, we have to change our strategy. We have to take out the best and latest version of Lexus and reassemble it in Dragon Country!"

"The first car we grandly launch must be no worse than their Hongqi H1 in all aspects."

This was also an important decision made by Feng Tianjing.

Because he must suppress the domestic cars of Longguo as soon as possible.

If you want to suppress the Hongqi H1, there is only one strategy: dumping at low prices!

Even if you don’t make money, you must sell in large quantities!
Only by occupying the market of Hongqi H1 and making it unable to survive can we extinguish the flame of domestically produced cars in Longguo.

This Lexus is a high-end car that has just been launched. It has received quite good response in the North American market.

It was not until six years later that Fengtian decided to separate Lexus into a separate luxury car brand.

Moreover, this luxury car brand is named Lexus.

Fengtian has invested a lot of effort in Lexus.

This is also an iconic sub-brand for them to enter the high-end luxury car market.

In its previous life, it took only ten years after the launch of this car to successfully surpass brands such as BBA in the North American market and become the number one in the luxury brand sales list.

Moreover, they have maintained the top spot on the sales list for more than ten years.

"President, if we bring Lexus to Longguo for assembly and listing, and lower the price to the same level as Hongqi, then our Crown will probably not sell well."

"I'm wondering if we're attaching too much importance to their car. After all, it's just a new car, and no one can say for sure what the quality control will be like after mass production!" Koizumi Toshisho said weakly.

Feng Tianjing also said sternly: "Don't have any fluke mentality!"

"Remember this: when the Dragon people are promoting their event with great fanfare, it means they have made all preparations!"

"Automobiles are the pillar industry of our industry!"

“It’s very important to us!”

"We must fight against all competitors to ensure that we have the strongest competitiveness! This is unquestionable!"

"Only when our opponent is still relatively young can we destroy it more easily!"

“Go do your work!”

"Next, we must increase the intensity of publicity and tell the people of Longguo that we are going to bring our best cars to Longguo for production!"

“This car has better features!”

“Higher world reputation!”

“It’s a standard for successful people!”

"We need to quickly establish our dealer system! At the same time, we will start taking reservations in Longguo as soon as possible and offer the greatest discounts."

"We are going to suck all the target customers of Hongqi H1 dry!"

Feng Tianjing also spoke with great vigor.

But to be honest, he actually had no idea.

Because this is the home ground of the Dragon people...

Well! We still have to coordinate with our partners in Longguo and ask them to use their connections to help Lexus warm up as soon as possible.

……

In Shanghai, Kaisers, the general manager of Volkswagen's joint venture, was also suffering and shocked that night.

He first watched the report on Hongqi H7 on the 1 o'clock news, and then he watched the special feature on Hongqi H1 on the evening news.

After watching it, Kaiser sat on the sofa and didn't move for a long time.

He was very surprised. Isn’t the new Hongqi H1 launched by Longguo too advanced?
All these configurations that are only found on luxury cars are actually used on a car that costs more than 16 yuan?

What about remote control car keys, electric lifting windows, electronically controlled direct injection fuel supply system, automotive control electronic system integrating all functions, front and rear reversing radar prompts...

These are the configurations only available on luxury cars above 50 yuan!
The people of Long country put all their money into a car worth more than 16 yuan?
This is directly overturning the table!

Santana, the first assembled car launched by Volkswagen in Longguo, had nothing at all!

Even the appearance of the car is far inferior to that of the Hongqi H1.

However, the price starts at 16...

Under the suppression of Hongqi H1, can Santana still sell well?
Keyser had completely lost confidence.

Before, he had always been paying attention to the movements of the foot basin man.

Because, Footbasin Automobile can be said to be a global competitor of Hans Automobile!

Volkswagen was once the undisputed number one in the world, but it was Fengtian that snatched the throne from them.

Volkswagen is certainly unwilling to accept this, but they are unable to compete with the Japanese in the entire European and American markets.

They are losing ground in markets almost all over the world.

It can be said that Volkswagen has placed a heavy bet in Dragon Country!

They hope to gain an advantage here and reverse the current predicament they are facing.

Kaiser can be said to have been appointed in a time of crisis...

After the establishment of Shanghai Volkswagen, the launch of its first car was quite smooth.

The market response has been very good, and administrative procurement in various places have shown great interest in Santana.

It seemed that Kaiser had already seen the huge sales of Santana in Dragon Country.

Today, China's passenger car market has more than 800 million vehicles per year. As long as Volkswagen can grab 4% of the market, it will be enough for them to stop the downward trend, and their performance should also start to rise rapidly.

Kaisers scratched his head in distress; he was now a little helpless.

He felt that bringing such a car with the most backward configuration to enter the Longguo market might be the biggest mistake?

Even when we were researching Longguo's automobile market, Longguo's domestically produced cars were indeed very poor, but, after all, they do have a very strong industrial base!

They have the ability to develop good cars themselves.

Keyser was feeling a bit helpless here when his cell phone rang.

The person who called was Li Yongda, the head of the partner Modou Auto.

"Mr. Keyes, have you seen the news about Hongqi H1 tonight?" Li Yongda asked.

Kaiser said in a low voice: "I saw it."

“This car is really great.”

"At least it's much better than our Santana."

"So, we are now facing a very embarrassing situation. Our Santana has just been launched, and your domestically produced cars are already making a splash."

“This is definitely not a good thing.”

Li Yongda said: "So, we must now change the product positioning of Santana."

"We previously positioned it as a mid-size car, with a price tag of at least 16 yuan."

"Now, we'll probably have to market it as a regular sedan."

"The selling price needs to be significantly reduced..."

"Then, if our joint venture wants to be successful in the future, it will need to come up with more and better models."

"If we need a model that can compete with the Hongqi H1, we have to find a way to introduce it as soon as possible!"

Kaiser nodded and said, "Yes! I will contact the headquarters immediately!"

“We have to act.”

"Also, the Foot Basin people are also moving pretty fast. They originally planned to launch a Corolla with similar configurations to our Santana. I guess they are definitely going to change their minds now."

So, Kaisers contacted the headquarters that evening and reported in detail the new situation in the Longguo market.

Volkswagen headquarters also attached great importance to it. After its president Rodriguez spoke with Keysers on the phone, he immediately decided to fly to Long Country the next day. He wanted to see what the current situation was.

……

On the morning of the second day after the CCTV report, Wang Haoran held a meeting mainly to coordinate the future work progress of China Passenger Vehicle Group Corporation.

These mainly include the following:
First of all, the transformation of the two large production bases must be accelerated, and we must strive to complete the transformation in November, and integrate and debug all production lines and production supporting suppliers! This is a very difficult task. But we must hurry up and get it done!
The automotive supply chain is quite long.

There are tens of thousands of spare parts.

It is impossible for automobile factories to produce all spare parts by themselves, so they need a large number of spare parts suppliers.

The previous solution was to establish various branch factories, and this is still possible now. However, it would be best if other machinery factories could provide parts in a more economical way.

Secondly, we need to build a nationwide dealer network, starting with building 4S stores in major cities across the country.

The 4S store model first appeared in Europe and the United States. In the past, it was not until the late 90s that 4S stores gradually became popular in Longguo. But now, Wang Haoran hopes to advance the pace.
