#336 - Chapter 336: Winning? Not enough, keep betting! Shoichiro Toyoda's plan!
Shi Dali sat in the driver's seat of the SUV.
Chen Hao wasn't stupid; the purpose of having John come forward was to force Toyoda Akio to accept the challenge.
But he wouldn't let John's people drive the car.
Vehicle ready!
Speed measuring instruments ready!
On both sides.
Through the connections of Han Tang Media, a bunch of media reporters were temporarily found—cameras and video cameras were ready!
Toyoda Akio frowned.
Lose?
Impossible!
He didn't think he would lose at all.
Based on China's industrial level, and according to the data provided by the 4S store, it was impossible to reach 100 kilometers in 4.7 seconds.
After all…
It's a four-cylinder engine.
And it's marked as domestically produced in China.
It would be a miracle to reach 100 kilometers in 4.7 seconds!
He was worried about another matter.
Once he won, he would definitely offend John.
Would the other party hold a grudge?
Would they use the Morgan Consortium to deal with him?
Or maybe…
After the other party loses, he should try to flatter him and then politely refuse the bet?
Offending Morgan for 100 million US dollars would be an extremely foolish act!
Just as he was thinking.
Buzz…
Shi Dali revved the engine wildly, already ready to go.
"Start!" As the shout fell.
Whoosh!
The engine roared, powerful force outputting madly, and the wheels emitted white smoke.
Like a fierce tiger escaping its cage, it roared away.
Along the way.
Multiple speed measuring instruments recorded.
Speed 30 kilometers per hour!
Speed 50 kilometers per hour!
Speed 80 kilometers per hour!
100 kilometers per hour!
Stop!
First of all, this guy isn't Chinese.
Secondly.
He's the heir of a top car company.
Is there a more suitable hype candidate than this guy?
"Director Xiao!" Chen Hao reminded.
"Close-up!"
Xiao Ling shouted loudly: "Give Mr. Toyoda a close-up! Capture his facial expressions for me!"
On the other side.
The professional personnel in charge of testing were stunned when they saw the final data.
"Zero to 100 acceleration in 4.62 seconds!"
"And… 100-kilometer braking—37.6 meters!"
Excellent!
This data is too damn good!
Especially the 100-kilometer braking, far exceeding the same level of vehicles.
"Impossible… absolutely impossible!"
Toyoda Akio's face was pale.
A moment ago.
He was still thinking about whether to refuse the 100 million US dollars after winning, but he never expected…
He lost?!
Zero to 100 acceleration in 4.62 seconds!
100-kilometer braking in 37.6 meters!
This data…
There are no opponents within 500,000!
It can be said that except for a very few high-end cars, the rest of Toyota is crushed by the Destroyer.
The high-end cars that haven't been crushed, even if priced in Japan…
Converted to Chinese currency, they cost hundreds of thousands!
"Chen!"
John looked shocked and quietly approached Chen Hao: "The performance of this car… only sells for 120,000?!"
He heard that Shenzhou Motors had started selling, so he specifically ran over, guessing that Chen Hao would be here.
A friendly reminder?
The contempt in his heart was overflowing!
But…
He never expected that this car would perform so well, it's simply heaven-defying!
After all.
It's a 120,000 entry-level model!
Globally, it's impossible to buy an SUV with such heaven-defying performance at this price.
"Do you want to buy one?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.
"I…"
John was dumbfounded.
The Morgan Consortium spent more than 70 billion on the technical patents of these three products: SP4, LCD TVs, and LCD monitors.
That's cash!
"Chen, congratulations, you won." John's voice was strained.
He can't afford it.
Even if he could afford it, he probably wouldn't buy it.
"I'll give you half of this 100 million US dollars." Chen Hao chuckled.
"Really?!"
John was immediately excited.
He is indeed a direct descendant of the Morgan family, but in the end, he's just a younger generation and still relies on his parents for pocket money.
The key is that the pocket money isn't much, only 1 million US dollars a year.
Give him half?
That's 50 million US dollars!
"However, there's a condition." Chen Hao grinned.
"Tell me!"
"Gamble with Toyoda Akio on the performance of the other three cars."
"Ah?!"
John was dumbfounded and waved his hand directly: "He's not stupid, knowing he'll lose… how could he gamble?"
"Don't gamble money, just gamble on winning or losing."
"He still won't agree."
"You have to use your godfather's status to scare him."
"Will it work?"
"Yes!"
"I'll try."
For 50 million US dollars in pocket money, John walked towards Toyoda Akio: "Shenzhou Motors still has three cars, are you interested in betting on them?"
"I don't…"
"If you dare not gamble, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"…"
Toyoda Akio was about to cry: "Godfather, I'll gamble…"
Looking at this scene, Chen Hao smiled.
One hundred million US dollars?
A piece of cake.
He didn't care at all.
Instead, he used Toyota, this top global car company, as a stepping stone for Shenzhou Motors to showcase the car's heaven-defying performance.
The shock from competitors is the most convincing.
It's also the best advertisement!
Let's put it this way.
The hype from business elites and celebrities only allows Shenzhou Motors to enter the eyes of hundreds of millions of people in a short time.
Buy or not?
In fact, most consumers won't buy it.
Who would be willing to spend a lot of money to try a brand new brand?
Aren't the stable German and Japanese cars better?
But!
When this bet is overwhelmingly featured in the media, the situation will be completely different!
…
Two hours later.
A hotel room.
Toyoda Akio's body was tense as he held his phone and made a call.
"100 million US dollars? Baga!"
"Hey!"
"Are you crazy? Why did you go gambling?!"
"Hey!"
"Hey Nima! I'm asking you, why did you go gambling?!"
"Father…"
Toyoda Akio explained the cause and effect.
On the other end of the phone, when Toyoda Akioichi learned that it was the core direct line of the Morgan Consortium who forced his son to gamble, he could only sigh.
100 million US dollars.
It's not much for the Toyota family.
But!
Toyoda Akioichi felt a great sense of unease.
Is the other party really for 100 million US dollars?
No!
His mind moved, and he said in a deep voice: "My Toyota family keeps its word, and if we lose, we will definitely pay. I will transfer the 100 million US dollars."
"Hey!"
"Don't rush back to Japan, I'll give you a task."
"Task?"
"Doesn't Shenzhou Motors claim that every part of their products is domestically produced in China?"
"You mean…"
"How could China's car manufacturing industry manufacture such excellent cars?"
Toyoda Akioichi showed disdain: "Idiot! Don't you understand? The other party is stepping on you, stepping on the Toyota Group to promote, and what we have to do is—disassemble! Find their handle!"
He believed that Chinese domestic technology could not produce such excellent cars.
The core components must be imported.
As long as imported components are found on these cars…
Slap Shenzhou Motors in the face!
Let all the lies collapse!
"Hey!"
Toyoda Akio's eyes lit up: "As expected of Father, I'll do it right away!"
"Remember! Only deal with Shenzhou Motors, don't conflict with the Morgan Consortium."
…
Chen Hao and John were chatting and laughing in the cafe.
Both parties sent bodyguards to guard outside Toyoda Akio's room, and the other party claimed to be calling to raise money.
Don't let him run away!
After a while, Xiang Yan ran in: "Director Chen, the money has been credited to the account."
"Good!" Chen Hao laughed.
"There's also news."
"What?"
"That little ghost… no! That international friend sent someone to the 4S store."
"Yo!"
Chen Hao couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Let Shi Dali film it!"
"Dali is following along all the way to film."
"Not bad."
He smiled at John: "Mr. John, the money has been credited to the designated account, and I will transfer half to you later."
A mere 50 million US dollars, John wasn't too worried.
After all, the previous business between the two people reached an astonishing nearly 100 billion.
"No problem, then I'll leave first."
"I'll see you off."
Suddenly!
Chen Hao's phone rang.
