#341 - Chapter 341: Complete despair! Shoichiro Toyoda’s conspiracy, global automakers join forces!
Akio Toyoda's understanding nearly collapsed.
How could this be?!
Impossible!
It's completely illogical!
How could China possess such advanced technology?
The automotive industry requires accumulation and continuous refinement over a long period. But Shenzhou Auto's development…
It's as if they suddenly opened their Ren and Du meridians, transforming from ordinary people into masters!
It simply doesn't make sense!
However.
The reality is right before his eyes, leaving him no choice but to believe it!
"The others…"
Akio Toyoda pointed at the other three cars: "Quick! Dismantle the other cars too! I don't believe it… there must be a problem!"
Keep dismantling!
They must find imported components on these cars.
Even a single screw!
Unfortunately, he was destined for despair.
"It's simply a work of art!"
Before long.
This technology…
This craftsmanship…
It's the pearl on the crown of industry!
Akio Toyoda was completely dumbfounded.
He trembled as he took out his phone and dialed a number: "Father, it's made in China… all of it!"
"From the engine and transmission to the parts, everything is domestically produced in China!"
"That supercar has a 12-cylinder turbocharged engine, even more advanced than Germany's!"
"I'm not lying to you… it's true."
Akio Toyoda felt as if all his strength had been drained.
It was too sci-fi!
Not to mention his father not believing it, even he was unwilling to believe it, but he couldn't help but believe it.
"Let Ito answer the phone."
"Yes…"
Akio Toyoda handed the phone to the engine expert.
Ito Hiroto.
An expert in the field of engines at Toyota Group, he had been stationed at the Chinese factory for the past two years.
In terms of engines, he was definitely an authority.
On the other end of the phone.
After hearing Ito Hiroto's account, Toyoda Shoichiro had no choice but to believe it.
Facts speak louder than words!
What next?
Shenzhou Auto used business elites and celebrities for hype, and the brand was already well-known to all Chinese people.
Secondly.
He could see that John's bet with his son was also a way for the other party to create hype.
Business elites and celebrities hyped up the car's popularity.
His son then completely exposed Shenzhou Auto's performance to the world.
It was certain.
After two rounds of hype, Shenzhou Auto would quickly enter the first tier in China…
No!
When users use it and spread the word to the people around them.
The brand will be more than just first-tier.
Instead, it will quickly seize the market, leaving other brands with no way to survive!
Then there's export.
Sweeping the global automotive market!
Compared to Akio Toyoda, Toyoda Shoichiro, who had been the president for many years, was many times more meticulous.
After a long time.
He revealed a strange smile.
He flipped through his address book and found a number.
"Is this Mr. Ferdinand?"
His English wasn't very fluent, but it was enough for the other party to understand: "I'm afraid… big trouble is coming!"
"Yoshino-kun… I don't want to argue with you!"
"We have a common enemy!"
"Mr. Wagner, this is Toyoda Shoichiro…"
Switching between Japanese and English.
That's right!
He was contacting all the top car companies ranked in the world!
These car companies were all top consortia giants in their respective countries.
Shenzhou Auto has excellent performance?
It can make other car companies in China completely lose the market in a short period of time?
Alright!
Losing competitiveness in China is already a foregone conclusion.
But…
At least, we won't let you export!
Just play in your little acre in China!
… …
It was evening in Japan.
It was just morning in North America.
White House.
The president had just walked into the office when the secretary quickly walked in.
"Mr. President, someone wants to see you…"
"Damn it!"
The president slammed the coffee cup on the table: "I just got to work, and I haven't even finished breakfast…"
"It's Mr. Hans."
"I don't care who he is…"
"Hans Durant."
"Quick, invite him in!"
The president's attitude immediately changed.
Who the hell would dare offend the sugar daddy?
William Durant.
The founder of General Motors.
Unlike the Morgan, Rockefeller, and other families, this family, which played a huge role in the entire North America during World War II, allowed professional managers to take the stage after the war, and the entire family retreated behind the scenes, unknown to the public.
But!
In high society, everyone knows how powerful the Durant family is.
Before World War II.
General Motors was the largest car company in North America.
It transformed into military industry during the war.
Today's General Motors is not only a car manufacturer, but also a North American military industry giant.
Let's put it this way.
Every president of North America has the shadow of the Durant family.
Hans Durant.
William Durant's grandson, and also the highest-ranking leader of the Durant family today.
He would never show up unless absolutely necessary.
"Mr. President."
Hans, who was over half a century old, walked in.
"Mr. Hans, long time no see, how have you been lately?" The president's face was full of smiles.
"I think you should take a look at this."
A document was placed on the table.
This was sent by the former president of Toyota to the CEO of General Motors, and the CEO handed it over to him.
It was the relevant data of Shenzhou Auto!
The president didn't understand technology.
But basic data comparison shouldn't be incomprehensible, right?
On the document.
It was a data comparison of the same level of cars from several top car manufacturers such as Toyota, Volkswagen, Honda, and General Motors.
The president picked up the document and looked at it.
"In fact, it's not even the same level."
Hans's face was grim: "This Shenzhou Auto is cheaper than us, but its performance… crushes us!"
"Once their products enter, we will completely lose the market!"
"If General Motors goes bankrupt, the President won't have a good time either."
Pa!
The president slapped the table.
Three days ago, Secretary of Commerce Evans mentioned Shenzhou Auto after discussing the chip ban.
At that time, he dismissed it.
China can build cars?
What a joke!
At this moment, he finally understood one thing: China can not only build cars, but its technology is even stronger than that of Europe, America, and Japan. With the overwhelming performance on the data, once it enters the global market… everyone will go bankrupt together!
"This is monopoly!"
The president was exasperated: "They want to destroy the North American automotive industry!"
"Mr. Hans, please rest assured, this damn Shenzhou Auto cannot appear in North America!"
"No one knows the ban better than me!"
"Haha… rest assured, it can only stay in China!"
"Mr. President!"
At this time.
Secretary of Commerce Evans rushed in: "It's not good! The news in China…"
He saw the news in China.
Chen Hao also saw it.
No!
To be precise, he and his wife's whole family saw it.
… …
In the living room.
The two families got along very well.
First, the young couple went to the train station to pick up Chen Fuhai and his wife, and then came to Xia Qingmo's home.
Although the two families met for the first time, there was not the slightest sense of estrangement.
No other reason!
Chen Fuhai and his wife had identified Xia Qingmo.
Xia Xiangyang and his wife had identified Chen Hao.
After dinner, the two families sat in the living room and chatted enthusiastically.
The TV was on.
Turning on the TV was a habit, and the two families had been chatting and hadn't watched the TV much.
Until…
'It is reported that Akio Toyoda, the heir of Toyota Group, and the direct heir of Morgan Consortium, started a gamble in Shanghai.'
'Shenzhou Auto, which is sweeping China, has become a tool for the two major groups' heirs' 100 million US dollar bet.'
'Please watch the detailed report!'
Chen Fuhai and Li Lan's eyes lit up.
Shenzhou Auto?
Their family is the general agent of Shenzhou Auto's 4S stores in Su Province!
