After the end of the tour in Jiangzhe Province, the next city to host the tour was Sujiang Province. The competition in Sujiang Province was fully managed by Dong Mingzhu.
Jia Yapeng didn't go to watch the competition again. Jia Yapeng trusted Dong Mingzhu, who was a big shot in his previous life.
Sure enough, the competition in Sujiang Province was also well organized. The ratings of the TV program were even higher than the one in Jiangzhe Province.
Now, the tangram 4WD competition program was completely popular in Hua Xia. Even many adults felt that the 4WD competition was very interesting. It was even better than a football competition.
In that era where there was a lack of entertainment, a modern and high-end competition like Jia Yapeng's program naturally attracted everyone's attention. Therefore, the program's ratings kept rising. It was said that in CCTV, the program's ratings were second only to the news programs. For the first time in history, the tangram program was ranked in the top three of CCTV's ratings. It was called a monstrous program by the station head.
Anyway, the 4WD was now something that everyone in Hua Xia knew about. Everyone drooled when they saw the 4WD. However, the Daqian kept the price of the 4WD so low that many companies couldn't get involved.
Of course, because the price of the Daqian's 4WD parts was very high, many companies tried to make money by copying the 4WD parts. However, because of the competition organized by the Daqian, all the participating 4WD cars must use the Daqian's parts.
Although there was a rule that said that the parts that were handmade or modified by oneself could also be used, it had nothing to do with the manufacturers who wanted to copy the 4WD.
At the same time, because of this rule, even if some manufacturers sold the parts at a very low price, most of the children were not willing to pay. What was the use of buying the parts if they couldn't participate in the competition?
As a result, with the end of April and the arrival of May, the income of Da Qian in mini 4WD vehicles once again reached a new high. For the entire month of April, the income of mini 4WD vehicles in the country exceeded 26 million yuan. All the enterprises were so envious that their noses were almost crooked.
However, just as the Daqian team was making a lot of money, just as the finals of Sujiang Province were about to end and the award ceremony was about to be held, an accident happened.
This accident happened to a child. This child was from the United States and his parents were both working in Sujiang Province. At the same time, the rules of the competition never forbade foreign players from registering, so the United States player successfully registered for the competition and ended up in third place in the finals.
During the award ceremony, the Four-wheel Drive Fighter would naturally interview all the contestants. Naturally, the American kid who won third place would also be interviewed.
But to everyone's surprise, when the kid was being interviewed, he said in an unconvinced tone, "The quality of the Daqian mini 4WD's parts is terrible. If I had used Tamiya's mini 4WD and its parts, I would have been 10 seconds ahead of them!! Tian Miya's mini 4WD is the best mini 4WD in this world! "
Because the competition was broadcasted live, these words were directly transmitted to the entire Sujiang Province through the TV cameras, instantly igniting everyone's emotions.
In this era, although Hua Xia had started to suck up to the United States, they had not started sucking up to Fusang yet. They started sucking up to Fusang because some media started to promote the spirit of craftsmanship and Sony's law.
Therefore, this incident quickly caused a stir among some media. They were worried about not being able to find any news, and now the news came knocking on their door. In addition, this was the time when mini 4WD cars were the most popular, and this news quickly blew up all over the country. In the end, even < RM Daily > published related news.
Most of the media were indignant about this. They said that Hua Xia's mini 4WD cars were not worse than Fusang's mini 4WD cars. However, there were also some media that were very good at making unusual statements and doing news with an attitude.
For example, a < Southern XX Daily > published a report. At the beginning, it called for all the audience to calm down and look at things with a rational attitude. Then, it started to introduce the relevant information about Tamiya Corporation and their history in Fusang.
In the end, the newspaper concluded that Tamiya Corporation was a company with a history of more than 100 years. This was a company full of craftsmanship. At the same time, they were also the inventors of mini 4WD cars. They had been in the manufacturing and production of mini 4WD cars for more than 10 years.
Therefore, the mini 4WD cars they produced naturally contained a lot of craftsmanship. Every part of the mini 4WD car was full of soul. Therefore, even if Daqian products lost to Tamiya, it was very normal and very reasonable. The chairman of the Daqian Corporation had even vaguely admitted that their products were indeed not as good as Tamiya's.
In the end, the report said that Chinese people could be confident, but they could not be blindly arrogant. They had to know how to admit their own shortcomings in order to improve.
The effect of this report was also quite significant. It also received the support of many public figures and the whole incident began to become more popular.
Especially when the tangram program started to broadcast the documentary of the Sujiang Province competition. There was no editing of the speech of the United States player at the end. When it was broadcasted directly, the whole incident was completely blown up.
If the previous incident was only a hot topic in Sujiang Province, then it was now a hot topic in the entire country.
In this era, Hua Xia people were actually the ones who cared about their country's reputation the most.
If it was 2020, Hua Xia people saw this news on the Internet, most of them would just laugh and then throw it aside. If they were not as good as others, then so be it. Everyone has their own strengths! Hua Xia was still developing China. It was a third-world country. It was normal that they were not as good as Fusang. It was not a big deal.
But it was different in the 1990s. At this time, everyone had to work hard. When foreigners crossed the Yellow River, Hua Xia people had to cross it. Moreover, they had to cross the most dangerous part.
When foreigners crossed the Yellow River on motorcycles, Hua Xia people had to cross it with cars. In any case, they could not lose to foreigners.
Coincidentally, at this time, the "Southern XX Daily" published another piece of news. It said that the vice president of Tamiya Group, Ichiro Honda, had led the previous winners of the Fusang 4WD Competition to Hua Xia for a friendly visit. At the same time, they proposed to compete with the winners of Hua Xia. The whole incident entered a white-hot state.
Finally, on May 1, 1992, on the day of Labor Day, the Hua Xia 4WD Competition Committee issued a statement, welcoming the friendly visit of the Tamiya Group. At the same time, they were willing to accept the request of the Tamiya Group for a friendly competition. They suggested that the time and place of the competition be set on May 20, 1992, in Yuzhang City.
Soon, the Tamiya Group also issued a statement in the newspaper, expressing that they welcomed the committee's suggestion very much. The discussion was thus settled.
As a result, a mini 4WD competition between the two countries began at lightning speed, under the high attention of all the Huaxia citizens!
