After the overseas automobile manufacturers dealt with Toyota, they learned that Bing City Machinery Manufacturing Group had teamed up with Hua Xia's other automobile manufacturers to build Asia's biggest automobile engineering laboratory, including an impact laboratory.
The overseas automobile manufacturers could tell Bing City Machinery's ambition. After Toyota authorized FAW to develop two new models, the rest of the automobile manufacturers started to act.
In the short term, the authorization will lower their profits and increase Hua Xia's technologies. But in the long run, they can suppress Bing City's Machinery Industry and lead China's automobile manufacturers to the wrong path of producing joint-venture vehicles.
In Hua Xia, Songjiang Motors' market share had been squeezed due to the appearance of those new models. If these technologies are developed by the Chinese automobile manufacturers themselves, then the Chinese automobile manufacturers will enter a prosperous era. After the competition, only the elites will be left.
But these automobile manufacturers are only producing joint-venture cars, and they are blinded by the profits in front of them. Maybe some of these automobile manufacturers had noticed the disadvantages of joint-venture cars, but they cannot give up on the profits in front of them. They felt they can invest more money into R&D after making money.
But if these joint-venture cars are exported, it will not be a problem. But these joint-venture cars are earned from the Chinese and will be distributed to those overseas automobile manufacturers.
No matter what other people think, Feng Yu was a little disgusted by this. If Hua Xia's automobile manufacturers are lagging behind and need those overseas automobile manufacturers' technologies, then they must take this step. But now, Hua Xia owns Songjiang Motors. Although their technologies are lagging behind those overseas automobile manufacturers, their technologies are better than those overseas automobile manufacturers.
But none of these automobile manufacturers approached Bing City Machinery to form a joint-venture. They want the technologies, but they want to take advantage of Bing City Machinery for free. It's fine if they want to form a joint venture with a foreign company. Why are they acting like they are losing face if they want to form a joint venture with Bing City Machinery?!
Since this is the case, Bing City Machinery will respond accordingly. It's time for Songjiang Olympic to introduce an upgraded model!
Using the same method as overseas, Songjiang Olympic's old model will have a discount promotion for National Day! At the same time, the new model of Songjiang Olympic had started its pre-sales promotion.
The new model of Songjiang Olympic had upgraded in terms of energy saving, shock absorption, noise reduction, interior space, and safety. There are three different models of Songjiang Olympic, and the prices are slightly higher. But compared to those new models, Songjiang Olympic still has a price advantage.
At the same time, during the marketing, Songjiang Olympic was compared with other joint-venture cars of the same price range. Songjiang Olympic was better in all aspects. In fact, those joint venture cars were not worth that price!
Furthermore, these joint venture cars are considered old models. The imported cars of the same model have been upgraded. But compared to the initial joint venture in his previous life, it was much better.
The Chinese automobile manufacturers were shocked. Songjiang Motors had just introduced the pickup truck and the new Oriental Deer. Why did they introduce the new Olympic again?
Also, what made them feel the most helpless was that if Feng Yu were to launch a new car, then so be it. Holding a press conference and making it so big was not a big deal. Feng Yu had the money. But what's the meaning of always comparing our cars?
Also, the higher-ups said that our cars' safety levels are not as high as what they claim. This is not right. Our models were tested overseas, and your equipment must be wrong.
When the automobile manufacturers called Li Mingde to protest and even complained to Chairman Wang, Li Mingde provided them with some data. The models were authorized by the foreign manufacturers, and these were the watered-down versions!
Those automobile manufacturers had indeed reached the safety levels of the same model. But those authorized by Hua Xia could not reach the safety levels. These were the data from Bing City Machinery's experiments. If you don't believe me, you can test it yourself.
Of course, they don't want to believe it. But when they saw the differences between the models they manufactured and the imported models, they knew Bing City's Machinery Industry's data might be real.
This time, they were a little angry!
The models authorized to us were all watered-down versions, and there are so many safety issues. Aren't you trying to fool us with defective products?
Wang Donghui was also furious. These automobile manufacturers were making money, and the country was making more money. He was still helping these manufacturers. But now, these automobile manufacturers had been cheated!
So many people claimed to be experienced, but they were fooled by others. It's fine if it was only one or two, but all of them were fooled. This is a disgrace to the country!
What Li Mingde said next is a slap to the automobile manufacturers' faces.
"Our Bing City Machinery Manufacturing Group had donated 240 million USD to our country's Olympic Games. This includes our company's donations and our shareholders' donations. To put it bluntly, if we were to use this money for promotions, you would all suffer a loss! But we did not do this. Our shareholders are all from Hua Xia, and the money we earned is also contributing to our country. Also, we had made money from overseas to invest and donate to our country. This is to help our country develop, unlike you all! Hmph! "
The automobile manufacturers' bosses blushed when they heard Li Mingde's snort. They realized Bing City Machinery Manufacturing Group does not want to stoop to their level. If not, they will be dragged into the race for lower prices, and the automobile manufacturers will suffer losses.
Don't forget Bing City Machinery Manufacturing Group's agriculture machines, motorcycles, electric scooters, etc. are all in Hua Xia's market share, and their profits are not low.
Wang Donghui tried to smooth things over again. "Old Li, let's forget about this. They had also realized their mistake. How about this? I can represent all the automobile manufacturers to promise that they will revive their own brands next year and will not focus on promoting these joint venture vehicles. Then you all don't need to announce this information, right? "
Li Mingde gave Wang Donghui some face. "Since Chairman Wang said this, then it's settled. We are all from Hua Xia, and I am happy our automobile manufacturers are making money. But if we make money from our own people and share it with outsiders … … "
Although they were mocked by Li Mingde, none of them dared to retort. They also understood that the condition that Wang Donghui mentioned was the decision of the higher-ups. They also want to revive their own brands, and it will be a political achievement. After retiring, they will be proud if they can claim that XX Automobile had revived under their leadership.
"Everyone, we had been tricked by those foreign companies this time. We cannot let this matter rest. In my opinion, either they compensate us or we sue them. They can't cheat us like this! "Director Zhao shouted.
The crowd was furious, but Li Mingde shook his head. Manager Feng had told him that those foreign investors must have found loopholes in the terms of the joint venture. These people had no choice but to swallow their grievances. Hopefully, they will learn from their mistakes and will not make the same mistake again.
As for not suppressing other automobile manufacturers, Bing City Machinery Manufacturing Group still needs to stand on the top again.
