The higher-ups were also very supportive, and they agreed to build such a laboratory park. However, in order to accommodate everyone, the laboratory location was chosen to be near Jinling. It is in the middle of the city, and it is convenient for both the north and south.
Bing City Machinery Manufacturing Group doesn't mind. Anyway, they have a factory in Jinling, and it's convenient for them to test their cars in the factory.
The plan is split into three phases. First, they will pick the most important facilities, like the impact laboratory and wind tunnel laboratory. Most of the facilities will be installed and tested, and the rest is not difficult. The land is already leveled, and they had intended to build an industrial park there. Jinling had started to attract investors.
The government and Bing City Machinery Manufacturing Group gave some money to appease Jinling's anger. Of course, this laboratory is still under the name of Bing City Machinery Manufacturing Group as they are the ones paying for it.
When the construction starts, Feng Yu thought he does not need to worry about this. But trouble came knocking on his door again.
Ralph told him that Toyota had contacted General Motors, Ford, and other companies in the US to suppress Songjiang Motors' development in the US.
Toyota had also contacted Volkswagen and other companies to suppress Songjiang Motors' development in Europe. This way, Songjiang Motors' overseas market will shrink further and will suffer heavy losses.
If Songjiang Motors decides to sell off those factory shares, then Songjiang Motors will lose the chance to enter the European and US markets. All their efforts will be in vain.
If Songjiang Motors persists, they will not get any profits from those major automobile manufacturers. Their overseas joint venture factories will suffer losses, and it will be a huge burden to Bing City Machinery Manufacturing Group.
Feng Yu felt troubled when he heard about this. Feng Yu did not expect Toyota to take such drastic measures. Doesn't Toyota need to pay a price to cooperate with those companies?
Luckily, Ralph had contacted Masao Kameda, and they quickly came up with countermeasures. Toyota can contact other automobile manufacturers, and we can do the same.
The companies Toyota contacted all have joint venture factories in Hua Xia, and they do not need to do anything to get a share of the profits. But at the same time, their car models and technologies had helped the Chinese automobile manufacturers a lot and improved their technologies.
But with Bing City Machinery Manufacturing Group leading the way, trouble comes. If these automobile manufacturers work together, they will be able to improve their technologies quickly. Hua Xia had done this in the past, and some small companies merged to become a large international competitor.
But those companies know Hua Xia's automobile manufacturers will not merge. When they entered into a joint venture with Hua Xia, there is a clause that guarantees their profits. If Hua Xia wants to inject funds or merge with Hua Xia, they must get their approval first.
Although their contracts are only for 20 years, and the Chinese automobile manufacturers have the right to acquire their shares after 20 years, it is still more than a decade away. Those Chinese automobile manufacturers will not wait for more than a decade before breaking the contract. They will offend many countries and violate the World Trade Organization's rules.
Compared to Bing City Machinery Manufacturing Group and the rest of Hua Xia's automobile industry, Toyota's growth is the fastest.
It's like a running competition. When someone catches up from 6th place to 3rd place, those in the top five will treat this person as their main competitor. Someone catching up from 30th place to 20th place might seem to have improved a lot, but to those in the top five, this is nothing. This person in 20th place still needs to overtake many people to threaten them.
Currently, Toyota had caught up from 6th place to 3rd place, and Bing City Machinery Manufacturing Group had caught up from 30th to 20th place. As for the rest of Hua Xia's automobile manufacturers, they are nothing.
In terms of threat, Toyota is the biggest threat.
If they had to suppress a company, they would definitely suppress the company at the top. As for the company at the bottom, it would be too late to suppress it after it had climbed up the ranks.
That's why Toyota is in trouble.

"President, something happened!" Junichiro Watanabe barged into Fujio Cho's office.
Fujio Cho is furious. "How many times have I told you to knock before entering the office?! Don't you know basic manners?! Go out and knock on the door again! "
When Junichiro Watanabe left, a man came out from under Fujio Cho's desk and ran into the resting room. Fujio Cho quickly zipped up his pants.
Knock, knock, knock ~ ~
"Come in!" Fujio Cho shouted.
"President, our sales in Europe and the US are facing problems!" Junichiro Watanabe shouted.
"You are not in charge of the Europe and the US market. How do you know about it? Just focus on your Asia branch. You are not the Deputy President yet! "Fujio Cho is unhappy. This Junichiro Watanabe is getting ahead of himself!
"No. This is a message from the European and American branch Presidents. They are dealing with this urgently and tried to call you, but your phone is switched off." Junichiro Watanabe quickly explained.
Fujio Cho's expression changed, but he quickly calmed down. "My phone is out of battery, and I did not dial my office phone properly. What's going on? Tell me. "
"Our sales in Europe and the US are declining!"
"What? Declining? How is this possible? Are there any quality problems with our cars now? "
"No."
"Then why?" Fujio Cho asked anxiously. Japan's relationship with the US and Europe is quite good recently, and they did not offend those countries.
Could it be that the stock market is not doing well, and everyone is losing money? Even so, their sales should not be declining. Last year, when the stock market was in trouble, their sales still increased.
In the first half of this year, there are no problems with their sales. What kind of accident happened?
"President, it's because those western and US automobile manufacturers are targeting us!"
"What? Those western and US automobile manufacturers are targeting us?! Why is this happening?! " Fujio Cho stood up. Didn't you contact those automobile manufacturers to target Bing City Machinery Manufacturing Group?
"I also don't know. I had contacted those automobile manufacturers' top management, and they had agreed to work with us to target Hua Xia. However, I don't know why, but they suddenly changed their target and started to target us. They had also started their promotions at the same time, and we did not receive any news about this. "
"What have you done, you idiot?! If they are doing promotions, why can't we do the same? Do you think we, Toyota, are afraid of them? Inform Europe and the US immediately. We will start our promotions! "
