Chapter 189
In mid-November, the front page of the Shenzhen Special Zone Daily published photos of more than a dozen joint venture car companies meeting in a hotel in Shanghai. The text combines pictures and texts and shows that after the secret meeting, less than a week, Kirin sedan lost a large number of orders and gradually disappeared in the domestic auto market. Could it be that a star of hope in the Chinese automobile industry will soon become a meteor? The text is full of sympathy for Longteng Automobile Company and love for Kirin.
It is explained that this picture was sent by an unknown person from Shanghai to the editorial department of various newspapers and magazines in Shenzhen last week through the post office. Only the Shenzhen Special Zone Daily dared to publish this article as soon as possible.
Since everyone is interested in gossiping, the topic of whether Kirin cars are suppressed by evil forces has been quite popular in the market recently. On the day of publication, readers increased significantly. The Shenzhen Special Zone Daily printed 200,000 copies in succession and put them in the market, and the supply was in short supply!
Because a large number of media began to confront the domineering and insidiousness of domestic joint ventures in unison, believing that these guys who please foreigners while stabbing their own people with a knife is very despicable. To put it bluntly, this is simply a traitor!
Outside car sales stores everywhere, many passionate young people raised flags to protest that they only sold foreign brand cars produced by joint venture manufacturers, while China's Kirin sedan was not seen.
A shop owner in Shanghai ran out without fear of death and explained: "The store is mine. What kind of cars I like to sell is my freedom! You guys who are full and come to make trouble. By the way, even if my company really sells Kirins, you may not be able to afford it! If it is broken, it is all broken! Cars are not related to you, the poor guys!"
"Crash him to death! Hit him to death! Hit him to death! Hit him to death!..."
"Hey, you guys, don't just curse one person all day long. If you scold others, you can't fight your mouth. You think you are talking about the truth? Listen, the book says that the truth is in the hands of a few people! Look, besides cursing people, you also like violence! What do you hit me and hit me with your head?" The shop owner was a bachelor, and under the protection of a group of clerks, he took out a loudspeaker and shouted.
"Crash him to death! Hit him to death! Hit him to death! Hit him to death!..." It was like a zealous believer in the medieval era preparing to burn heresy to death.
The owner just laughed: "Did you poor guys have a car hit?"
The angry crowd really drove out several Kirins and drove towards the owner. The owner was so scared that he hurriedly closed the people and hid in the store and dared not come out.
The joint venture automobile manufacturers, which had always been at a moral low, immediately found an excuse, saying that Longteng instructed the thugs to cause trouble in front of many car sales companies. Of course, Longteng did not admit such slander, so he organized people to write articles in the newspaper to fight back.
The two sides poured dirty water on each other, gradually affecting the overall sales of the auto market. Since only a few auto sales companies in Kirin are willing to sell, the impact is not big. Instead, overseas orders continue to grow, and the backlog of 50,000 cars are directly exported to foreign markets.
However, other joint ventures secretly complained because their cars are old models of foreign automobile companies, and their technology is backward and the quality is not necessarily better than the original ones produced by the brand. If the export tariff factors are taken into account, the advantage of cheapness basically does not exist, so they can only show off their might in China.
The automobile industry in China not only affects the employment problems of millions of automobile workers, but also promotes the overall development of the social industry through the procurement of accessories, steel and other materials. The economic effect it produces is not just about making tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan for a car. The downturn in the auto market will inevitably affect various related industries. If this continues, it will not be consistent with China's current policy of economic construction at the center.
Because the matter was too big, the government began to send people to the two sides to mediate. In addition, it issued a notice to major media that no media was allowed to participate in the war of verbal between automobile companies. If there was no media participation, even if the various automobile companies and Longteng had a car to each other and drove and collided, it would not have much impact. Once the media participated, it would be equivalent to adding fuel to the fire, making small things into big things, and making big things into big things.
The bosses of the joint venture automobile companies symbolize that they are publicly apologizing, but secretly warn domestic auto dealers not to cooperate with Longteng Auto Group!
Huang Tian, secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Government, came to the Shenzhen production base of Longteng Automobile Company with great fanfare, which was called to inspect the work of private enterprises. In fact, Huang Tian was entrusted by the Central Committee to become the role of Longteng Automobile Group.
After visiting, Secretary Huang Tian did not hesitate to praise the achievements of Longteng Auto Group with the best words. What is "worthy of being the pioneer of China's independent automobile brands!", "Longteng's spirit of independent innovation is really admirable, and the results achieved are greater than the total combination of domestic peers for decades!", "Haha, I think Longteng's atmosphere will definitely be the overlord of the future automobile industry, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, and Toyota will stand aside!"
Along the way, the accompanying staff of Longteng Automobile Company were so dizzy.
Zhang Bixuan thought to himself: "A leader is not only used to listening to flattery, but also very proficient in flattery. It seems that he has ate countless books like "The Flattery"!"
Anyway, it doesn’t cost money to pat the horse. It only requires skills. Huang Tian’s abacus is to first knock people out, and then it is more conducive to persuasion work. Most people who know a little bit of horse racing only have some compliments and tricks to show off. In fact, these are very superficial. Flattering is very particular about techniques and methods. If you pat too much, it is not impossible to pat it. If you pat it lightly, it is too itchy, and it is too painful to pat it heavy. If you can do it silently without leaving any traces, it makes you dizzy and be complacent, that is the highest level of flattery.
"Comrade Xiao Zhang, I once again came to a group company named after Longteng. Last time you succeeded in the field of micro-central processors. This time you made your mark in the automotive industry, only a few years later. During this period, you have done many major events that have caused a sensation in the world. The acquisition of Sony, Hong Kong Dragon, and Standard Chartered became the largest landlord in Germany, and took back some of the Hong Kong dollar issuance rights from foreigners in Hong Kong! People like you are a hero, because every thing you do can make the Chinese feel proud!" Huang Tian said with a smile.
When Zhang Bixuan heard Huang Tian mention some of his proud things, he quickly said modestly: "Small things, small things! Small achievements that are not worth mentioning!"
"Let me tell you this. This time the central government gave me a temporary task to come here to do your ideological work. The superiors asked that both of you should stop and not be allowed to fight each other. Whoever agrees will bring sweetness, and if you don't agree, will bring bitterness. That's all, you can make a decision!" Huang Tian's speech turned to the topic.
