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

Chapter 256: Open provocation? Then bring out the killer weapon! [Request full order]

Koizumi Toshisho thought about it and felt that if he wanted to save Fengtian's reputation and regain the trust of Longguo consumers, he had to take a head-on approach.

You make an advertisement and say your cars are better than ours?

This is called breaking the rules!
So, can we also do the same thing and make a video in the opposite direction to discredit you?
The current problem and difficulty is that there is no Hongqi H1 for sale on the market.

Even if Koizumi Toshisuke wanted to fight back with a comparative advertisement, he couldn't do anything!
Koizumi Toshisho thought, how about we just have a head-on confrontation?
Why don't we directly challenge the Dragon people and have a real competition with the Hongqi H1 in the presence of the media?
However, he started to worry again: He was really worried now, worried that his car could not compare with the Hongqi H1.

Because, their engine and clutch are really good! They have already tuned the whole car to a very high level. This can all be seen.

It would be troublesome if Fengtian lost the competition!
That would destroy Fengtian's prestige and greatly damage his reputation.

Koizumi Toshisho thought about it over and over again, and felt very conflicted!

Anyway, no matter what we do, it seems that we can't reverse the crisis that Fengtian is facing now.

In fact, Fengtian has experienced many ups and downs over the years of its development. On several occasions, they faced life-and-death situations.

But fortunately, they all made it through.

Now is the time when Fengtian is calling the shots all over the world!

Even in Europe, Fengtian is conquering cities.

However, in Longguo, faced with a new car from a newly established automobile company, Koizumi Toshisuke was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

Just when he was struggling, Feng Tianjing also called him.

"Koizumi, what's wrong with you?"

"The enemy is humiliating us wantonly."

"And you, didn't even make a move!"

"Shouldn't you give me a call first to report something like this?"

Feng Tianjing was also yelling on the phone.

Feng Tianjing was really a little anxious.

He has placed a lot of advertisements in Longguo!

After investing so much money in advertising, if it is defeated by the China Passenger Vehicle Group with a comparative advertisement, wouldn’t all the money be wasted?
Now is the most critical moment.

If Fengtian does not confront the enemy head-on at this time, it will not only lose the market of Longguo.

Even Fengtian might suffer a Waterloo all over the world.

Koizumi Toshisho quickly reported his ideas to Feng Tianjingye.

"President, we don't have many ways to fight back now."

"We can only confront them head-on."

"If we take the initiative to challenge them, then we must be prepared in advance."

"As long as we can overcome the challenges, we can have a bright future."

Feng Tianjing didn't think too much about it. He said, "You are right!"

"We have no way out!"

"We have to prove ourselves!"

"I'll have someone speed up the production of a special version of the Lexus sedan!"

"We must surpass each other in all aspects of functionality!"

"Koizumi, just hold a press conference in Dragon Country!"

"You tell those reporters that we will challenge China Passenger Vehicle Group!"

"We're going to give them an all-out duel with our Lexus sedans!"

"I just don't believe it. There's no way we can beat these newbies who just started making cars!"

Feng Tianjing also roared.

Feng Tianjing also thought of the time when Fengtian Automobile first entered the North American market. It was a bleak situation with almost no one interested in it and it was losing money every month and every year.

No matter how hard the people in Jiaoben try to market it, few North American consumers will accept it.

Feng Tianjing was in charge of the North American market at that time.

Many times, he felt that he couldn't hold on any longer.

But he still gritted his teeth and persevered until the early 70s, when the oil crisis broke out and oil prices soared. The cost of large-displacement cars produced by Jewish car companies soared, causing many Jewish people to complain.

Fengtian and even the entire automobile industry in the foot basin finally saw a turning point and became popular because of its low fuel consumption.

Since 1973, many of Toyota's models have been selling well in North America, which also allowed Toyota to begin to grow and develop.

Feng Tianjing also murmured to himself: "We must overcome this hurdle! We must defeat them!"

"For Longguo's huge future automobile market, Fengtian can only have a brighter future if it occupies it!"

"Having lost our leading edge in electronic technology and home appliances, the only thing we can rely on is cars."

Feng Tianjing also gave an order and the entire Fengtian Company began to take action.

Toshisho Koizumi held a press conference in the capital of Dragon Kingdom.

At this press conference, he announced: In order to expose the malicious lies of China Passenger Car Group against Fengtian Automobile, Fengtian Company will challenge the company. They hope to have an open and all-round showdown with Hongqi H1 under China Passenger Car Corporation to see which is the most fuel-efficient and best-handling passenger car.

This announcement caused an uproar.

CCTV reporter Wang Jianguo was also present at the press conference.

When he saw Koizumi Toshisuke announcing his challenge to Hongqi H1, his face was filled with rage, and Wang Jianguo was worried about Hongqi H1.

Wang Jianguo thought that Fengtian was, after all, the most powerful and established automobile giant in the world.

Its accumulation must be much deeper than that of China Passenger Vehicle Group Corporation.

Looking at Fengtian’s aggressive posture, it seems that the opponent is going to fight to the death with Hongqi H1!

Since the other party dared to hold a press conference in this way, it shows one thing: they have probably made all the preparations.

After Koizumi Toshisuke finished his announcement, during the question-and-answer session, Wang Jianguo raised his hand high.

Koizumi glanced at the reporters at the scene who were all raising their hands, and he saw reporter Wang Jianguo who was looking up at them.

Koizumi is no stranger to Wang Jianguo.

He had dealt with Wang Jianguo several times before.

Koizumi also tried to bribe Wang Jianguo.

Unfortunately, however, the other party ignored it.

Koizumi thought, since they wanted to make a big deal out of this, they would naturally have to let the most authoritative media in Dragon Country give it prominent coverage.

However, CCTV of Dragon Country will obviously not stand on the side of the foot basin.

Koizumi still looked serious and let Wang Jianguo ask the first question.

Wang Jianguo stood up and said, "Mr. Koizumi, I was also there when the China Passenger Car Association tested your company's Lexus."

"I think their test comparison was very fair and professional."

"During the entire process, not only were there several major media outlets covering the event, but even people from the FIA ​​were supervising."

"So, do you have any evidence to prove that China Passenger Vehicle Group has used unfair means to damage your reputation?"

This question is quite sharp.

"They tampered with our car and didn't get the best performance out of it," Koizumi said.

Wang Jianguo asked, “Is there any evidence?”

"We can use our own tests as evidence," Koizumi said.

"According to our own test results, the fuel consumption of our Lexus can be as low as 5.1 liters per kilometers."

"It is impossible for their Hongqi H1 to achieve a fuel consumption of 4.8 liters per kilometers. They must have tampered with it."

Wang Jianguo laughed and said, "This is all subjective speculation."

“You can’t convict the Hongqi H1 with your guesswork.”

Koizumi Shunsho was a little annoyed: "Because, if you have common sense, you will know that it is impossible!"

"They are absolutely faking it!"

"No car engine in the world can achieve such low fuel consumption!" Wang Jianguo continued with a smile: "You are anxious."

"You still take your guess as evidence."

Koizumi Toshisuke glared at Wang Jianguo and said, "You, reporter, are not fair at all."

"Are you here to cause trouble from the other side's perspective?"

"Then I ask you to talk to Wang Haoran and ask him to agree to a man-to-man contest with us!"

"If they don't dare, it means they are faking it!"

Wang Jianguo shrugged and said, "I'll pass on your message."

"I hope you won't be so angry. It's not good for your health to be upset by anger."

Koizumi Toshisho took a deep breath and felt that he had lost his composure just now.

We still can't be too tough with reporters.

There is no benefit in offending reporters.

As he thought about it, he smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, I just want to tell you that I hope to be your good friend."

"We are also your advertisers. We have given you many advertising contracts."

"Shouldn't you protect the advertising sponsor?"

Wang Jianguo smiled and said, "Mr. Koizumi, what you said is wrong."

"Don't you know? Advertisements are advertisements, and news reports are news reports. Here, advertisers don't have any privileges."

Koizumi Toshisho took out a letter of challenge that he had prepared long ago.

He called a staff member and asked him to hand the challenge letter to Wang Jianguo.

"Mr. Wang, please give this letter of challenge to Wang Haoran. I hope to get his reply as soon as possible."

"Of course, this is also major news. I hope to see Wang Haoran's answer on TV!"

There was a commotion among the people at the scene.

It's obvious that the foot basin man is serious about this!
Many reporters in Longguo felt a little angry about this.

Because this is in Dragon Country!
Xiao Rizi openly held a press conference to challenge the car companies in Longguo.

This look is really a bit too arrogant and domineering.

This also reminds people of the humiliating history of the past.

What era is this? How dare you be so arrogant in our land!
Wang Jianguo nodded and said, "I will. I also hope that our car can have a fair and just duel with you!"

“I wish you a better performance.”

Wang Jianguo is very polite.

However, some reporters could hardly contain their anger.

"Knock down the chicken in the basin!"

"We must show the chicken some color!"

"Damn it! Isn't this too crazy? Do you have any manners left?"

"I really don't understand! What's so crazy about your foot basin?! You have been a dominant industry for many years. Take a good look at yourself and see how much is left now!"

"We must crush Fengtian! Just like we crushed their chip industry before!"

Many people at the scene were shouting.

For a moment, there was a little bit of confusion.

When Koizumi Toshisho saw this scene, he felt a little depressed.

He thought to himself, am I crazy?
We come here with good intentions to invest and help you, and transfer our Fengtian’s production capacity to you.

It was your car companies that first targeted us, okay? !

Koizumi Toshisho felt a little aggrieved.

However, he also knew that it would be difficult to offend the public, so he quickly announced the end of the press conference and left.

After Wang Jianguo left the press conference, he immediately took a car to Pangu Technology Company.

After meeting Wang Haoran, he told Wang Haoran about Fengtian holding a press conference to launch a challenge.

After hearing this, Wang Haoran smiled and said, "That's great. They came to our door on their own initiative."

"Then let's make things bigger!"

Wang Jianguo said: "Comrade Haoran, the other party took the initiative to provoke, which shows that they were well prepared!"

"I guess they must have made all the necessary preparations."

"If we really compete with them, we might not have much chance of winning."

Wang Haoran smiled and shook his head, saying, "Don't overestimate the other party."

"I think they have no other choice. They have been forced into a corner in our Dragon Country market."

"Our comparison test can be said to have completely crushed the Lexus model they were planning to heavily promote in our country."

"This also undermines their overwhelming packaging promotion."

"If they don't respond, it will cause great damage to their reputation."

"So, they have to bite the bullet and fight back, confront us head-on, and hope to win in a head-on confrontation."

"That way, they can turn the tide, reverse their reputation and ultimately win the market."

Wang Jianguo shook his head in confusion: "In other words, they are not absolutely sure of winning?"

Wang Haoran said: "Of course! They are just taking risks and playing all in!"

"The Foot Basin people are the best at poker."

"They won all-in time and again in history, except for two times in the 19th and early 20th centuries, which made them a powerful country."

"Now, I think they are going all-in on us again."

"But, unfortunately, they definitely can't win this time!"

Wang Jianguo said, "We should be more careful, right?"

"The Foot Basin people really like to do little tricks."

"I suppose they would tamper with the cars they race in, wouldn't they?"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "There's not much they can do."

"At best, we can build a hidden fuel tank or something."

“But it’s very easy to detect.”

"Well, there is another trick. They first filled the oil pipe with oil, so that it can also have a better performance in terms of fuel consumption."

"But what I want to say is that these low-level tricks are useless in the face of our absolute strength!"

"Well! Haven't we recently developed a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine? It performed quite well in the test. So let's use the turbocharged engine!"

An excellent turbocharged engine can significantly save fuel consumption while increasing power.

Of course, turbocharged engines have actually been around for a long time.

However, this type of engine is rarely used in ordinary passenger cars now.

Because the technology is not yet mature, using turbocharging will obviously result in much higher fuel consumption.

In addition, the turbocharger uses the exhaust gas from the engine to drive the turbine to rotate, which in turn compresses the air into the cylinder, increases the intake volume, and improves engine power and fuel economy. The operating temperature of the turbocharger reaches about 1 degrees, and the speed reaches an astonishing 20 revolutions per minute, which places high demands on cooling and lubrication.

If these two problems are not solved, it will affect the stability of the car's operation.

This is also the reason why turbocharged engines were not gradually used in luxury cars until the mid-to-late 80s.

Because, only then will the technology be truly mature!

Now, Wang Haoran has taken the lead in developing a mature and easy-to-use turbocharger device, which will make the engine power even stronger.

Of course, turbocharged engines also have disadvantages, the biggest of which is that they require the use of high-grade gasoline.
