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

Chapter 267 How can there be such a good thing in the world? ! [Request full order]

Toshisuke Koizumi originally intended to divert the topic and public attention from the Toyota Lexus sandwich fuel tank problem.

He felt that as long as he disassembled the Hongqi H1 sedan, he would be able to find evidence of cheating!
By that time, Lexus can be whitewashed.

I have to say that Toshisho Koizumi's idea is correct.

However, what he didn't expect was that the Hongqi H1 was so innocent!
After opening it, not only did we find no evidence of cheating, we discovered only its advantages!
These advantages include: excellent workmanship! Great effort has been put into even the invisible parts.

Even the sound insulation cotton and the like are of the best quality and will not affect the health of consumers.

This is equivalent to showing the advantages of Hongqi H1 to consumers!

When consumers see these contents, they will have a greater favorability and trust in Hongqi H1.

Now, for Koizumi Toshisho, his plan has backfired!

How embarrassing is this?!
"Mr. Koizumi, do you have anything else to say?" Zhao Yougui asked Koizumi.

Koizumi's face turned pale, he actually wanted to continue to make trouble.

However, he knew that it was meaningless.

He snorted and said, "You didn't cheat!"

“But I will say that we have no issues with our gas tanks either.”

"You were the ones who swapped our fuel tank just now!"

Zhao Yougui shook his head and said, "Mr. Koizumi, can you swear to heaven?"

"Don't you think it's shameful for you to tell lies with your mouth open?"

Naturally, Koizumi Toshisho didn't want to swear.

This person has a bit of awe in his heart.

He was in a daze for a long time, and finally shook his head and said to Zhao Yougui: "This time, you win!"

Zhao Yougui laughed: "This is really a bit funny. They actually said we win?"

"We won a crushing victory, okay?!"

Koizumi Toshisho's face turned pale and he did not respond.

He waved his hand and left with his men.

Of course, the specially customized Lexus was also transported away on a flatbed truck.

As soon as Koizumi Toshisho got in the car, he received a call from Feng Tianjingye.

"Koizumi, get in front of me right now!" Feng Tianjing also roared.

Koizumi Toshisho quickly smiled and agreed.

He hurried to the hotel where Feng Tianjing was also staying.

He knocked on Feng Tian Jingye's door and saw his boss's face full of anger: "Come in!"

Koizumi Toshisho walked in tremblingly.

He knew that he would inevitably be scolded today.

"President, I, I tried my best."

"I don't know what happened. We lost so badly."

Koizumi Toshisho said dejectedly.

At this moment, he was already a little nervous.

Feng Tianjing also sneered, raised his hand and slapped Koizumi Toshisho in the face.

Naturally, Koizumi Toshisho didn't dare to dodge and took the slap in the face.

Feng Tianjing also knew that, in fact, Koizumi could not be blamed for today's defeat.

No matter who is in charge of that event, it is estimated that it will end in failure.

However, he was still very angry.

Because, for Fengtian, the result of today's game is absolutely unacceptable!

From today onwards, Fengtian is likely to become a world-class joke.

Because he asked people to do public relations for those foreign media.

The result? Those media outlets showed no mercy at all and said they would report the story based on the facts.

This is clearly intended to embarrass Feng Tian.

Even though Fengtian had invested a lot of advertising money in them in the past, it couldn't get any support from them.

White-eyed wolf!

Feng Tianjing also seemed to have seen that many local media outlets were swarming around reporting on the fact that Lexus was crushed by Hongqi H1.

As long as such a report is published, Fengtian’s sales may collapse.

Of course, this incident may not necessarily have such a huge impact.

As long as we keep our promises and provide good service, perhaps we can still overcome the difficulties.

In the past, Feng Tian had also encountered many public opinion attacks in the Lizard Party.

If Fengtian has even the slightest bit of negative information, it will be reported extensively.

Those reports were actually aimed at getting rid of it.

However, because Fengtian’s cars still have some visible advantages compared with other automobile giants in the world, consumers still recognize them.

In the end, Fengtian was able to get through by luck.

I hope there will be a better result this time.

Now, the most important thing for Fengtian is how to offset the heavy blow to his reputation suffered in Longguo this time.

How to deal with the impact of local brands in Longguo.

This is related to Fengtian’s continued development in the large market of Longguo.

Feng Tianjing really doesn't want to give up the Longguo market.

Because many people are predicting that Longguo’s automobile market will develop to an annual sales volume of over 10 million vehicles in the next few years!
That is the world's largest automobile market!
How can we just give up on such a big market?

After Feng Tianjing finished slapping him, the anger in his heart finally subsided a lot.

He sat down on the sofa, panting and said, "Koizumi-kun, you are the person in charge of the Dragon Country market!"

"Now, this market is facing a huge crisis!"

"Tell me, how can we solve this tragic problem?"

"In the past two or three years, we have been able to sell at least one million cars in Longguo every year, which accounts for at least one-sixth of our sales!"

"If we lose this market, our sales will drop drastically!"

"This is a disaster we cannot afford!"

Koizumi Toshisho thought, how would I know what to do?

I'm just a worker.

I don't have the final decision-making power.

At this time, you certainly cannot express your opinions easily.

If you express your opinions easily, it will be easy to continue to take the blame.

Koizumi Toshisho smiled and said, "President, you must have the best solution to the problem."

Feng Tianjing also looked at Koizumi Toshisho with disgust.

He really needs some useful advice from others.

But now, no one can help him.

"Speak your mind! This is an order!"

Koizumi Toshisuke was so frightened by this that he trembled all over. He quickly said, "I, I do have some ideas of my own. Of course, they are just ideas. I don't know if they are mature."

Feng Tianjing also said with disgust: "Just say it."

"If you are of no use, then I will consider removing you from this important position!" Koizumi Toshisuke said hurriedly: "President, my suggestion is: issue a statement, announcing that we were tricked, and that the fuel tank with the hidden fuel tank is not our Fengtian at all!"

"We have come to this point now. There is no other way except to deny it."

"Once we apologize, our reputation will collapse even faster."

"It's going to be a nightmare."

"While declaring that we were ambushed, we also want to pay tribute to China Passenger Vehicle Company, recognize their car-making technology and hope to have opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"Yes! The people of Long Country are very concerned about face. They believe in repaying a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude. If someone shows them an inch of respect, they will show them a mile of respect!"

"They are a country of gentlemen! A gentleman means that no matter how badly you have offended them in the past, as long as you sincerely apologize and admit your mistakes, you can reconcile with them."

"If we take the initiative to show them goodwill and sincerely hope to cooperate in all aspects, I think we may be able to get benefits from them..."

Feng Tianjing nodded thoughtfully and said, "What you said makes sense. You can give it a try."

"If we can sign an in-depth cooperation agreement with China Passenger Vehicle Group, it will be of great benefit to us."

"They have obviously made new breakthroughs in their research on engines and gearboxes."

"We need their technology. If we can get their technology, that would be great!"

However, it turned out that Feng Tianjingye and others were just daydreaming.

They thought they had a deep understanding of the national character of the Dragon people.

They always think that hypocritical apologies and hypocritical gestures of goodwill can resolve the other party's disgust and hatred towards them, and can also gain the other party's sincere friendship and make the other party treat them well without any scruples.

How could such a good thing happen in the world?

Do you really think the people of Long country are fools?

Koizumi Toshisho went to the door to show his goodwill, but was turned away.

Feng Tianjing also called personally to show his goodwill, but he never got the chance to speak to Wang Haoran directly.

At the same time, China Passenger Vehicle Corporation is also taking intensive actions.

By the end of November 1983, the two major production bases had been basically completed and the equipment had been installed and debugged.

The workshops in these two bases are basically built according to the most modern automobile manufacturing assembly lines in the previous life.

There are a large number of industrial robots involved in assembly and production.

Especially in the processes of final assembly, welding, electrophoresis, etc., the degree of automation is very high.

A large number of spare parts are basically manufactured on the mechanical equipment of each branch factory.

This can increase production efficiency and reduce production costs.

One month before the two major production bases were basically completed, under the leadership of Wang Haoran, China Passenger Vehicle Company began pre-sale activities across the country.

Pre-sale advertisements were aired during CCTV prime time.

At the same time, Hongqi 4S stores that have been built across the country have begun to accept pre-orders. Although there are no discounts, you can get an interior gift package when you order a car, which mainly includes various floor mats, seat cushions, cup holders, car ornaments and pendants.

After the launch of this pre-sale campaign, it received a warm response from consumers across the country.

Li Moyan’s Hongqi 4S store is located near the 3rd ring road in Beijing.

An automobile trade city has been built here.

Almost all car brands in the world are available here.

German, French, Japanese, American, Italian, all are here.

There are traditional luxury cars such as BBA, luxury sports cars such as Ferrari, and of course, more low- and mid-end cars like Volkswagen and Toyota.

Li Moyan's Hongqi 4S store is located here. This is a national automobile trade distribution center, and Li Moyan rented a large exhibition hall here.

The rent alone costs several million yuan every year.

In addition, a large number of people need to be hired and a lot of equipment needs to be added. The total investment for the start-up is tens of millions of RMB.

Li Moyan invested almost all the money he had earned in recent years, and it was still not enough.

Because, we need to purchase a batch of Hongqi H1 prototypes first, which requires a lot of money.

Li Moyan had to borrow money from the bank.

This put him under tremendous pressure.

Li Moyan's wife Liu Caihong expressed her clear opposition to this.

She said to Li Moyan: "Moyan, this is not a good idea. You are putting all your eggs in one basket!"

"If we mess this up, we'll be bankrupt!"

"The investment is too huge. I think we can't do this."

Li Moyan said: "You know shit!"

"Don't you see how hot the automobile market in our country is right now?"

"Here in Beijing, I wonder how many people are waiting for the new Hongqi to be released! We can definitely make a lot of money from this business! Think further ahead!"

Liu Caihong said: "What if it's not as smooth as you think?"

"Look at the people around us. Most of them still like to buy foreign luxury car brands when they have money!"

"Because people still think that buying those brands gives them more face."

"As far as I know, two celebrities just bought Mercedes-Benz one after the other."

"So, I'm really worried that Hongqi will definitely not sell very well."

Li Moyan said: "You just saw those two actors buying a Mercedes-Benz. Actors are always vain after all."

"Among my friends, those who used to buy foreign luxury cars are now asking me about the Hongqi H1!"

"Old Qian, don't you know? Old Qian told me that he wants to buy the top-of-the-line Hongqi H1!"

Liu Caihong said: "Maybe they are just being polite. When our store opens, you will see that Lao Qian will definitely not come to support us."

Li Moyan was actually quite nervous.

He also doesn't know whether those who have always told him that they would support the domestic luxury car brand Hongqi will really support it.

But then he thought again, the Hongqi H1 is really very popular now.

Moreover, everyone in China knows that this car will be used as a ceremonial car in the future.

That is the face of the country!

Therefore, it naturally has the potential to become a top luxury car.

In addition, it demonstrates fuel efficiency, good handling, and various luxury car configurations. It is more advanced than Mercedes-Benz and is full of technology.

It's definitely a good car!
As long as you do it well, there will be great prospects for development!
Li Moyan still resisted the pressure from his wife and invested all of his own money plus the money borrowed from the bank, a total of 4 to million yuan, into this S store.

His 4S store was probably completed in early November 1983.

After the work was completed, before the sample cars were even put on the shelves, consumers who were visiting the Auto Trade City came to his shop.

Li Moyan also received several of them personally.

These consumers were very interested in Hongqi H1 and asked many questions.

The most common question is: "Is the lowest-end Hongqi H1's functional configuration exactly the same as the one that beats Lexus on TV?"

China Passenger Vehicle Group has already prepared a script for this.

Li Moyan only needs to explain according to the above words.

He told consumers that Hongqi H1, as a famous domestic car, never does anything pretentious. Since the TV said that "the car that beats Lexus" is the lowest-equipped Hongqi H1, it is definitely true! The sample car will arrive in the store soon, and consumers can experience the comparison in all aspects.

However, after those consumers left, someone soon told Li Moyan that those who came to consult were almost all the owners of other car brands in this auto trade city!

A few days later, the advertisements for the nationwide pre-order of Hongqi H1 began to be broadcast extensively on CCTV.

The day after the advertisement was broadcast, Li Moyan arrived at the exhibition hall early.

He had someone lay a red carpet at the entrance of the showroom. He didn't know whether any consumers would come here to order a car today.

Actually, this place is not fully prepared to open its doors to guests right now.

Because, in the entire hall, only one Red Flag prototype was transported.
