Chapter 22 Nanshan Auto Parts Factory Becomes Popular

While General Motors and Ford Motor Co. were busy responding to the Yahoo Auto Channel report, Toyota Motor Co., the target of the scandal, was confused.

"Have you checked it out? Which department is discussing the design plan with Huaxia? Why have I never heard the relevant report?"

In Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan (the county level in Japan is higher than the city), president Fujio Zhang was very unhappy and questioned the design director Atsoo Fukuichi in the office.

The American market is Toyota's most important market, and Fujio Zhang pays attention to the situation there every day.

He naturally saw the news on the Yahoo Auto Channel.

On the contrary, the design director Atsoo Fukuichi looked confused when he was asked just now.

No idea what happened at all.

Finally, under Zhang Fujio's prompting, the situation was figured out.

However, after investigating for most of a day, he could not find out which department was responsible for this incident.

"President, our design center does not have any contact with China. It is definitely not the people below me who are in contact."

"Isn't the company discussing a joint venture with China Spring Automobile Group during this period? Could it be that the team responsible for the joint venture project is in contact?"

Fukuichi Atsoo didn't deliberately shirk responsibility there, but really made a serious confirmation, but to no avail.

"I am personally tracking China's joint venture projects. No one will contact Chinese people without authorization." Zhang Fujio immediately denied Atsoo Fukuichi's speculation, "Could it be someone from the North American Design Center who contacted you?"

Obviously, he still felt that this matter was probably caused by the design department.

The news has already been exposed before the negotiations have concluded.

What a shame.

"No, the North American Design Center doesn't understand it at all. They thought there was something going on here at the headquarters, and they are asking when the complete appearance drawing will be given to them."

"So, the North American Design Center is very optimistic about the appearance of this pickup truck?"

As the president of Toyota Motor, Fujio Cho naturally has a lot of skills.

Some conclusions can be drawn from the words reported by subordinates.

"Yes, I am very optimistic about it. The best-selling pickup truck in the United States is the pickup truck. Judging from some of the appearance pictures exposed on Yahoo, this pickup truck is not only cool, but also compatible with elegance and ferocity, combining several seemingly contradictory genes. Mixed together, it has the potential to become the best-selling product."

As the design director of Toyota Motor, Atsoo Fukuichi has a very keen awareness of the appearance of cars.

Whether a car's appearance is successful or not, he can basically make a conclusion at a glance.

"Continue to check and ask all departments to check to see if anyone is in contact with the designers from China." Zhang Fujio quickly gave instructions, "At the same time, try to figure out the details of this design as much as possible. It was created by some designer from China, and he found a way to buy back this appearance picture."

"President, I'm already making arrangements, but the news I've received so far is a bit strange."

"Why is it strange?"

"The contact address and personnel information obtained so far show that it was designed by the director of a small factory in China called Nanshan Auto Parts Factory. I suspect this information is false."

Atsoo Fukuichi couldn't understand that such a stunning appearance could come from such a small factory.

If it was said that it was done by professors from Huaqing University or those two universities in Shanghai, that would make sense.

"It's just designing an appearance, not making the car. If it really comes from this small factory, it would be a pity for us to miss it. Pickup trucks are the most popular models in the United States, and we can realize how good this shape is. GM and Ford don't know that you need to act faster."

Toyota's development in the United States is very smooth, and it has put a lot of pressure on local leaders such as General Motors and Ford.

But so far, Toyota's pickup truck market in the United States is far inferior to others.

Obviously, Zhang Fujio wanted to take this opportunity to break this situation.

"President, I have a bold idea that may give me a head start on this matter."

"What do you think, tell me quickly!"

"Isn't the company negotiating a joint venture with Huaxia? They attach great importance to this project. If we ask Spring City Automobile Group to help us, things should be much easier to handle."

As soon as Atsoo Fukuichi's proposal came out, Fujio Zhang's eyes lit up.

Although he is Japanese, his ancestors came from China, so he is quite concerned about the situation in China.

In addition, he has personally participated in the negotiation of joint venture projects in the past year, which can be regarded as half a China connection.

Obviously, Atsoo Fukuichi’s proposal is very feasible.

"In this way, you go to China in person. Don't be afraid of spending money. You must get this blueprint back."

……

On the plane from Detroit to Yangcheng, Edward sat down in the first-class cabin, casually took out a piece of information prepared for him by someone from Magic Capital, and read it carefully again.

"Edward, what a coincidence, you are also going to China?"

Just when he was thinking about how much it would cost to get the appearance he wanted, a familiar figure appeared.

Sit!

As soon as Edward raised his head, he couldn't help but say a national curse in his heart.

How come Mays, the design director of Ford Motor Company, is on the same flight as me?

Why did he go to China?

Without much thought, Edward knew that the other party's purpose was the same as his own.

"Ha ha!"

"It's a bit of a coincidence!"

"China has a history of 5000 years. I heard that there are many places of interest and historical sites. I just happened to go there to look for design inspiration."

Although Edward knew that Mace could guess his purpose of going to China, he still made up an excuse casually.

"That's a coincidence!"

"I'm also looking for inspiration this time. How about we go together?"

Ford's scale in the United States is smaller than that of General Motors. After all, it is the second largest company.

So Mace was really worried that Edward would take away what he wanted.

“I sometimes like to be alone and meditate, looking for design inspiration.”

Edward refused without giving it a second thought.

What a joke!

If we act together, how can we go to Nanshan Auto Parts Factory?

"If you want to find design inspiration, you should go to the Imperial Capital. There are more ancient buildings there, so it is easier to find design inspiration."

Mace said as he sat down next to Edward.

The two people were talking with a smile on their faces.

However, in each other's minds, they both made some modifications to the plans they originally planned to throw out.

After all, no one wants to lose.
