Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

"Mr. Cao, according to the data released by the American Automobile Dealers Association, last week Toyota's sales fell by 30% month-on-month, and the decline tends to increase."

"It seems that the impact of the 'brake door' on them is much greater than expected."

Zeng Tingting has been eating melons with great interest these days.

Toyota's "brake door", she is also one of the participants.

Seeing the sensational "brake door" in the whole of the United States from planning to implementation, and to the current situation, her mood is quite complicated.

"Toyota has developed too fast these years, and many competitors have great opinions on them."

"Now that I'm caught in the braid, I'm sure I'm going to kill myself."

"Look, let alone the last week or two, even in the last few months, the sales of Toyota cars have dropped sharply."

"Without a year or a half, it is impossible to fully restore the previous sales volume."

Since Toyota Motor has trouble with Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., Cao Yang will not be polite.

Anyway, it was American giants such as Ford Motor who made the knife, and it had nothing to do with him.

"The procurement of Ford Motors has already contacted me. In the future, 80% of the nut plates can be purchased from Nanshan."

"In terms of wheel bolts, they also agreed to use our products on the F150."

"In the future, it will continue to expand to more than 50%. Even in terms of hub bearings, they agreed to let us send a batch of samples for testing."

"This time the order came, I am so happy."

Zeng Tingting was so excited that she almost didn't dance.

"Switching to our wheel studs on the F150, it looks like we're really going to lay around and make some money."

Cao Yang is also in a very good mood to get such a big benefit with just a raise of his hand.

Ford's F150 will be officially launched tonight, and Cao Yang has full confidence in it.

This is a model that can sell 700,000 to 800,000 units a year, and it belongs to the top sellers in the American car industry.

"Mr. Cao, are you so confident in F150?"

"It's just a pickup after all."

"Ford Motor's positioning of it is just a tool car?"

Zeng Tingting felt that Cao Yang was too optimistic.

Although many consumers in the American auto market like pickup trucks, there are also many consumers who like economical cars such as Accord and Civic.

"The F150 has the comfortable configuration that many luxury cars have, and is equipped with a traditional American large-displacement V8 engine, which makes its off-road performance very strong. This pickup can even be seen in many professional off-road rallies."

"Its sales will definitely exceed your imagination."

"After the new model is launched, it will definitely become Ford's best-selling model, which is like no other."

Cao Yang's explanation seemed a little weak to Zeng Tingting.

However, she was about to leave to participate in the F150 launch event, so she didn't argue any more.

...

"Cao, I am so happy to see you again."

In the Joe Louis Stadium, Ford Motor Sales VP Mergen immediately gave Cao Yang a warm hug after seeing Cao Yang.

Melgen knows better than anyone else the changes in public opinion in the American auto market during this period.

Who is responsible for it, he is Yemenqing.

Otherwise, how could he be so enthusiastic about Cao Yang?

"Mergen, it seems that you are in a good mood."

"I'll see your wonderful introduction later."

Cao Yang stood there and greeted Melgen for a while.

Originally, Ford Motor invited him here to hype up the concept of the story of the talented Huaxia designer and the F150.

This will allow everyone to focus less on the "Firestone Tiregate".

But now that Toyota's "brake door" diverts the attention of public opinion, the pressure on Ford has been released immediately.

To hype up the topic of talented designers in China now is equivalent to diverting the pressure of public opinion on Toyota Motor.

That's an enemy.

Of course Ford is unwilling to do this.

So Cao Yang came here today to make soy sauce.

Of course, Ford Motor did not neglect this hero.

The seat of purchasing director Chris is arranged next to Cao Yang.

That's enough for Melgen.

As for what kind of cooperation plan Cao Yang will use this opportunity to reach with Chris, this is not what Melgen cares about.

...

"Edward, I heard that Ford's F150 received more than 3,000 orders on the first day it was launched."

"If we knew it earlier, we would speed it up. It was launched before the F150."

In a coffee shop in General Motors, Purchasing Director Austin and Design Director Edward each held a cup of coffee and chatted while drinking.

Cao Yang also came to visit General Motors during this period, and Austin had a good understanding of some of the stories.

"Our Chevrolet Silverado and Ford's F150 are both designed by Huaxia Cao. From my point of view, both models are very classic."

"But they don't have exactly the same style, so even if the F150 goes on the market for a month or two first, it won't affect our silverado sales."

Edward actually felt a little regretful in his heart, but he definitely couldn't admit it now.

After all, their silverado will be on the market later than the F150, which is mainly the responsibility of the design center.

"That's not necessarily true."

"Toyota's 'brake door' during this period has made many consumers refocus their attention on American companies."

"If we seize this opportunity, we can definitely achieve a big increase in sales."

As the purchasing director, Austin naturally hoped that the company's cars would sell as many cars as possible.

In this way, the procurement department can better negotiate price cuts with suppliers.

"There is some truth to this."

"But on the whole, this matter is a good thing for us."

Edward showed a regretful expression on his face, and then said: "It seems that we can consider letting the sales department put out the advertisement as soon as possible, so as not to let the F150 family dominate."

"At that time, we can even publicize it, saying that the appearance of silverado and F150 are from the same designer."

"Let's dabble in the light of the Ford, too."

Ford is the former car boss. In 1914, with the classic T-car, it completely changed the world's car pattern.

Even because of the introduction of the assembly line production method, the industrial production model in this world has been raised to a higher level.

Later, General Motors took Ford Motors down from the number one throne.

In this way, the relationship between the two parties is naturally quite special.

If it weren't for the common enemy Toyota Motor, they might not be able to work together in the "brake door" this time.

"Ford didn't make good use of Huaxia Cao's card. We can make good use of it then."

Edward agreed with Austin's proposal.
