Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

Polar Bear United Rocket and Space Corporation is coming to visit, so Venusstar Technology will naturally discuss countermeasures in advance.

Although they haven't had much technology to show in the past 20 years.

But they have a solid foundation, and they can make most countries look up to them by relying on their old capital.

Even though China's current aerospace strength is very strong, there is still a gap with Polar Bear in some areas.

For example, China cannot build the An-225 transport aircraft.

There are also some other things in the aerospace field. Polar Bear may have carried out some research and development in the past, or did not continue after half of the research and development.

Those experience data are also very valuable.

These things can be well cooperated with the other party.

In particular, Zhao Siyu's previous work had a lot of information that referred to the information from Polar Bear, so Venusstar Technology attaches great importance to the other party's high-level exchanges this time.

"Mr. Cao, I think we can open a door to cooperate with each other on the topics that Polar Bear United Rocket and Space Corporation wants to discuss."

"Of course, all cooperation must be led by us and cannot be affected by them."

Zhao Siyu expressed his views clearly.

Cooperation is supported, but I have to lead it.

Even some cooperative projects can be discussed carefully, everything is possible.

Polar Bear has some good things in its hands, Zhao Siyu knows this.

Even some technicians in Venustech were poached from Polar Bear.

Anyway, Venustech can afford the price now, so it is much easier to poach people.

"Let's listen to their ideas first."

"It would be best if we could get some good technology out of their pockets."

It is unrealistic to expect Polar Bear to invest a lot of money.

If the funds are really sufficient, they will not bow their heads to find Venustech for cooperation.

But if there is nothing, it is definitely not possible to think of making a fortune out of nothing.

Cao Yang supports Zhao Siyu's ideas and concerns.

"Yeah, I think so too. Let's try it out first."

"Anyway, the initiative is in our hands."

After hearing Cao Yang's words, Zhao Siyu felt relieved.

This matter can be boldly carried out according to your own ideas.

...

Just when Cao Yang focused his attention on Venustech, several giants in the American automotive industry began to prepare for trouble again.

"Exxon, I have received news that all Volkswagen models equipped with diesel engines have very strange data curves measured in the laboratory."

"It looks qualified, but the actual car emissions are completely different."

"I have reason to believe that the other party used cheating methods to meet various regulatory requirements."

"It is necessary to let the Environmental Protection Agency intervene in this matter as soon as possible and make it a major case of fraud and cheating by German car companies."

"Volkswagen has this problem, and Mercedes-Benz and BMW are likely to have similar problems."

"We have now suppressed the sales of Japanese and Korean car companies. If we can suppress the sales of German car companies, then our sales this year will be even better."

Mulally is now very active in suppressing competitors.

Although strictly speaking, General Motors is their biggest competitor.

But they are all American companies, and the relationships behind them are intricate, and it is obviously not suitable for fighting too hard.

So the two sides began to join forces to deal with car companies in other countries.

Judging from the current results, it is still very good.

Ford Motor lost the Chinese market last year, but its global sales did not change much, which is a very rare thing.

The situation of General Motors is similar.

However, despite all the efforts made last year, Volkswagen still took the first place in the world.

Mulally knew that General Motors must be very dissatisfied, so this time he took the initiative to come to Exxon to discuss suppressing Volkswagen.

In their view, whether it is Germany, Japan, or Korea, these are all America's younger brothers.

A younger brother should have the awareness of being a younger brother, how can he steal the job from the big brother?

Before, they did not catch the handle, and their focus was on the Japanese and Korean car companies. Now they can free up their hands, so naturally they will regard Volkswagen as the key target of suppression.

For this point, Exxon absolutely agrees.

"Is there such a thing?"

"This is too hateful!"

Exxon immediately became energetic after hearing what Mulally said.

This is simply a pillow when you are sleepy.

Last year, Volkswagen took the first place in the world. Exxon was thinking about how to take the first place from Volkswagen this year.

Unexpectedly, Ford Motor had such a big handle.

Although Ford Motor's scale in the American market is not as large as General Motors, in Europe, Ford Motor is the most influential American automaker.

Ford Europe is also a relatively large automaker in Europe.

Even if it has lost money for many years, Ford Motors does not intend to withdraw.

Now that Ford Motors can get some leverage over Volkswagen, Exxon is naturally happy to see it happen.

"Yes, so we have to find a way to make this matter bigger and let the Environmental Protection Agency impose a heavy fine on them."

"Then take this opportunity to see if we can suppress Volkswagen's sales in the United States and even the world."

"It would be best if we could pull in Mercedes-Benz and BMW at the same time. After all, Volkswagen has done this, and it is hard not to doubt whether Mercedes-Benz and BMW are doing the same."

Mulally expressed his thoughts very directly.

Exxon will definitely not object.

"I will arrange for technicians to test the best-selling models of BMW and Mercedes-Benz to see if there are any problems in this regard."

"Even if there are no problems, we will create some problems for it."

"A small country like Germany has such high car sales. If we don't deal with them, they may have greater ambitions."

Mulally's words touched Exxon's heart.

In his opinion, all foreign car companies need to be taught a lesson.

Otherwise, how can Ford and General Motors return to their peak positions?

"I also asked people to report Volkswagen to Germany at the same time, and asked the Environmental Protection Agency to take action as soon as possible."

"Since we are going to do it, then we should do it faster and more intensely, so that the effect will be better."

With this conversation between Exxon and Mulally, the automotive industry immediately became turbulent again.

A few days later, the Environmental Protection Agency of the United States officially issued an announcement to the public, announcing the fraudulent emission tests of Volkswagen that it had mastered.

Various media in the United States immediately followed up and reported on the matter, making the heat of this matter very high.

At the same time, there were various news reports on Germany, and relevant departments immediately began various investigations.

It looked like a storm was coming.

Volkswagen naturally felt these changes at the first time.

However, Volkswagen itself must have a clear idea of ​​what happened.

As long as a simple investigation is carried out, a lot of information will appear in the senior management of Volkswagen.

As Volkswagen's largest overseas market, the China branch must also attach great importance to these changes.

"Fondel, the diesel emissions fraud issue is now a big deal, and some websites in China are also reporting on it on a large scale."

"But the news I got from the headquarters is that this time it only involves diesel engines, not gasoline engines."

"Is this news okay?"

Strauss is now very worried that this incident will affect Audi's sales in China.

Sales have finally recovered in recent months. If they are hit again, they will not be able to make ends meet.

In particular, the Audi brand is now not only facing competition from Mercedes-Benz and BMW, but also being suppressed by rivals such as Xingchen Automobile and Jaguar Land Rover.

He doesn't want to see life become more difficult.

"The news I got is the same as yours. The matter only involves diesel vehicles, and the models we sell in China are mainly gasoline vehicles."

Fondel is also a little nervous now.

This matter has caused a lot of trouble in the United States and Germany, and he is also worried about the impact on China.

But what he said was true. Almost all the models sold by Volkswagen in China are gasoline versions, and diesel versions are very rare.

Even because almost all passenger cars in China are gasoline cars, consumers have formed an impression that diesel engines are only suitable for commercial vehicles.

In fact, this is not the case.

In markets such as Europe and the United States, the market share of passenger cars equipped with diesel engines is almost catching up with gasoline cars.

After so many years of development, many technical problems of diesel engines have been well solved.

They are no longer the kind of stupid and rough image.

"I am worried that competitors will deliberately confuse the public and deliberately publicize some bad news about us, but not report the most real situation."

It must be said that Strauss's worry is not unreasonable.

Even some reports in the past have encountered such things.

"We really need to pay attention to this aspect, so as not to affect the sales of our Huaxia branch."

Vondel immediately understood Strauss's worries. This kind of thing must be prevented.

"It would be best if the company took the initiative to issue a statement, so as to avoid being taken advantage of by others."

Feng Del further added his opinion.

Volkswagen Huaxia soon took relevant actions.

…

"Mr. Yu, I was thinking about whether to plan a marketing plan specifically for Volkswagen to suppress the sales of Volkswagen South and North."

"I didn't expect them to react so quickly this time, and actually took the initiative to issue a statement."

At Autohome, He Ling was very disappointed after reading the statement of Volkswagen Huaxia.

Nanshan Automobile Group has been suppressing international auto giants in recent years. As long as it seizes the opportunity, Autohome will cooperate.

For example, Volkswagen's exhaust valve this time can definitely be put to good use.

Haven’t you seen that various media outlets in the United States are reporting this matter crazily?

In fact, these tricks have been used by Autohome before.

"The Chinese market is very important to Volkswagen. It is normal for them to be reluctant to give up and full of desire for survival."

"We can first take a look at how Volkswagen handles this matter overseas, and just follow up and report in a timely manner."

"Even if we can't use this opportunity to hack Volkswagen, there is still no problem in making hot news."

Yu Yu also felt a little regretful.

However, this matter is ultimately a major event in the automotive industry and deserves careful follow-up and reporting.

You may not know what new situation will arise by then.

"Although Volkswagen mainly sells gasoline engines in China, there are also a small number of imported cars using diesel engines."

"If Volkswagen adopts double standards to treat Chinese consumers and overseas consumers, something can really happen."

"Anyway, as long as Volkswagen's reputation is suppressed, it will be a good thing for Nanshan Automobile Group."

He Ling obviously had no intention of giving up.

According to past experience, we can definitely find some attack opportunities later.

It's just that the intensity may not be as strong as imagined.

"Let's see the situation first and then talk!"

"Perhaps other car companies are more active than us in hoping that the Volkswagen incident will become a bigger issue."

Yu Yu's words can be regarded as seeing through many things in the global automobile industry.

And just as she said, many car companies are gearing up to do something at this time.

Needless to say, General Motors and Ford Motor, the two initiators, Toyota Motor, a car company that also wants to compete for the world's number one, is also thinking about how to use this news to cause trouble.

"President, our U.S. headquarters has specially arranged for several Volkswagen diesel vehicles to be tested. The results are completely consistent with what the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced."

"This is a really good opportunity for us."

"Relevant U.S. departments, General Motors, and Ford are all trying their best to deal with Volkswagen. As long as we push behind it, Volkswagen's global sales this year will definitely be greatly affected."

Kobayashi Zhemin is now very active in planning things to deal with Volkswagen.

Toyota also once held the title of No. 1 in global car sales. Now that this position is taken by Volkswagen, it must find a way to knock it down.

Especially in the United States, various car companies have taken the initiative. It would be a pity if they did not seize the opportunity to push behind the scenes.

"This is indeed a good opportunity. I didn't expect Volkswagen to make such a stupid mistake."

"Compared with other emission issues, Volkswagen's way of controlling emissions through special software will definitely make regulatory authorities disgusted."

"We can even secretly guide the media to make everyone feel that Volkswagen also cheats when it faces other regulatory requirements."

"When the time comes, Volkswagen will be struggling to explain itself."

Akio Toyoda is not a good man or woman.

The current development of Toyota Motor in the American market and the Chinese market is not so ideal. He must also hope to make up for this loss as much as possible from other places.

It would be the best thing if we could seize some share from Volkswagen around the world.

"It is indeed a good way to muddy the water, make all kinds of news true and false, and attract everyone's attention."

"Even if Volkswagen wants to explain, it will have to spend more time and energy to confirm."

"After all, even they themselves are probably not sure whether some of the things we exposed are true or false."

Kobayashi Zheming imagined Volkswagen in a hurry and felt very good.

Before, Toyota was basically in a state of being suppressed.

Both the United States and China are dealing with them.

This time, other car companies have finally taken the lead, and Toyota can follow behind and wave the flag.

"Our sales in Europe are not small. This time, in addition to following the troubles in the United States, Europe also has to try its best to find ways."

"Compared to many consumers in other markets who don't pay much attention to environmental protection, consumers here in Europe are more concerned about emissions not meeting standards."

"In this case, Volkswagen's reputation will decline faster."

The two of them were in the office planning various ways to deal with Volkswagen.

Eventually, these contents will be implemented by Toyota's various business units around the world.

Toyota knows how to seize the opportunity, and other car companies such as Nissan Motor and Hyundai Kia Motors are naturally not stupid either.

Suddenly, Volkswagen was on the verge of becoming a street rat.

However, Volkswagen is not to be outdone. They have also used various methods to expose the fraudulent news of some other car companies.

As a result, the entire automobile industry has become more lively.

"Mr. Cao, Volkswagen has just become the number one car company in the world in terms of car sales. The United States has begun to deal with them. Other car companies have also used methods to blackmail Volkswagen. It seems that this industry's number one position is not good. It’s not that easy.”

Zeng Tingting has also been paying attention to the news about Volkswagen's diesel emissions cheating during this period.

In his opinion, it is not so much that Volkswagen is cheating, but that it has affected the interests of other car companies after becoming the world's number one.

Especially General Motors and Ford in the United States must be very unhappy with Volkswagen, so this matter will break out in the United States first.

Just think about which car company will ultimately benefit the most from this matter, and you will basically know who the main mastermind behind this matter is.

Zeng Tingting is very experienced in this aspect.

After all, many of the tricks were leftover from her tricks.

"It's normal. Any industry leader will face challenges and competition from other companies."

"The various turmoils that Xingchen Motors has faced in the international market over the years must be behind the small actions of some companies."

"I just don't know if domestic independent brands can get used to this international competitive environment after they have gone overseas in the past two years."

Going out, Cao Yang definitely supports this direction.

However, in the process of going out, it is very important to avoid being cut off by others.

On the one hand, it is a comparative test of the company's product competitiveness, and on the other hand, it also has a lot to do with the company's response plan.

Of course, in a place like Tianzhu, no matter how great your company is, others can still find problems for you even if they are picky.

So the overseas market is actually not that easy to deal with.

"Before entering the traditional advantageous markets of major car companies, everything should be fine."

"Once we make a difference in markets such as the United States, Europe, Japan and Korea where local car companies have a strong influence, there will definitely be a lot of conflicts in this area."

"Before, Great Wall Motors and Chery did not mainly enter these markets, so the number of times they were targeted should not be many."

“It’s hard to say what will happen in the future.”

What Zeng Tingting said is obviously very reasonable.

Chinese car companies go to markets such as Southeast Asia or polar bears. There are no particularly good car companies in these places.

Some countries even have no automobile industry of their own at all.

In this case, no matter which brand performs well locally, it will not be easily boycotted.

But if you perform well in places like the United States, Japan, or Germany, where the local automobile industry is very developed, it will be very difficult for local car companies.

Needless to say, people will definitely use some off-board tricks to deal with you.

Whether it is raising tariffs or imposing various punishments for finding trouble, as long as people want to deal with you, they will definitely find a way.

After all, you are just an athlete, and while you are an athlete, you can be a referee at the same time, or you can ask the referee to listen to him.

So what do you do?

"We can ask Autohome to write some articles on this topic to remind our domestic counterparts."

“As for whether everyone listens to it or not, that’s not really my business.”

Cao Yang thought about it and felt that it was still necessary to remind various independent brand car companies.

Otherwise, they will definitely be dealt with when the time comes.

However, if you take the initiative to help with some things, others may not appreciate it.

Therefore, Cao Yang does not plan to call the CEOs of various car companies directly.

Let Autohome make the arrangements, it would be an act of kindness and justice!

As for the outcome, that's not something he needs to worry about.
