Set sail1992

Yamada Jiro blushed, stood up and bowed: "I'm sorry!"

"You say this is useless," Zhang Qihang shook his head and looked up at Yamada Jiro: "Mr. Yamada, what can I and Huateng Group do? I believe you and Mitsubishi Motors understand that if Mitsubishi Motors is really sincere Both myself and Huateng Group welcome cooperation, but I also hope that Mitsubishi Motors can show sincerity and stop playing this kind of word game here at this time..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qihang looked at Jiro Yamada and said with deep meaning: "Mr. Yamada, you should understand that now, there is actually not much time and opportunity left for Mitsubishi Motors, and we cannot allow you to continue to waste it."

"Hai!"

Yamada Jiro's expression changed, and then he nodded solemnly: "I will definitely convey your advice to the president and all directors."

He knew very well that Zhang Qihang and Huateng Group would not have much time left for Mitsubishi Motors.

Zhang Qihang nodded slowly.

------------

Yamada Jiro left in a hurry.

When Jiro Yamada reported the situation to Mitsubishi Motors' management and discussed cooperation between the two parties, Jiangho was conducting inspections in Europe.

Different from previous inspections, this time, Jianghe's inspection was very down-to-earth. The main target of their inspection was the use of cars by small industrial and commercial owners. After going around France, Italy, Germany, etc., Jianghe couldn't help but Zhu sighed to his secretary: "Europeans are really too rich."

Today is the second day after arriving in Italy. From yesterday to today, after observing the cars used in roadside shops, Jiang He felt a little heavy in his heart: the cars used by small industrial and commercial owners here are mainly various VANs, that is, Vans, such as Ford Transit, Iveco, Volkswagen Model T and even Mercedes-Benz Sprinter...

I often see these small industrial and commercial owners carrying goods of tens of kilograms or even dozens of kilograms to deliver goods to customers. This makes Jiang He and others who came to inspect it really unacceptable: just such a small amount of things, look at a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter delivering goods. past? How much oil does this need to burn?

Secretary Xiao Wang also nodded repeatedly, agreeing with his boss's words: "Yes, they say that Europeans are rich, but after I came here, I realized that Europeans are really not ordinary rich, and any small shopkeeper on the roadside can open one." Such a nice car.”

Speaking of this, Xiao Wang was secretly worried: Can our three-wheeled motorcycles really stand up in Europe?

After learning about it during this period, Xiao Wang also came into contact with a lot of knowledge that he didn't know before. For example, by looking up some information before going abroad, he already knew that in fact, as early as the mid-to-late 40s to the 50s, fuel-fired tricycles were very popular in Europe. Popular, for example, Germany has manufactured many famous three-wheeled trucks, the more famous ones include Tempo and Borgward Goliath (yes, the famous Borgward, which was later resurrected by BAIC).

Tempo is a front-wheel drive three-wheeled truck. The early version looked like a Northeastern "riding donkey backwards." Later, I felt that this was really unsightly, so it changed to a traditional three-wheeled truck. At that time, it was cheap and affordable. The small truck was very popular with farmers and small traders who were not very well-off after World War II. Farmers used it to carry agricultural products, and small traders relied on it to transport tools and goods. Its status is like America's pickup truck or our domestic pickup truck. Buns are a tool for making money, a tool for repaying capital, and a tool for overloading.

Although it is a three-wheeled vehicle, the Tempo is actually a serious three-wheeled vehicle. There is no lack of hood, lights, cab, steering wheel, interior, etc. It can be said that it is complete despite its small size.

By the mid-50s, as Europeans became richer, they no longer looked down on such small three-wheeled vehicles. They did not feel that such small vehicles were worthy of their status, so Tempo had to give up three-wheeled trucks and start producing them. Larger and more comfortable four-wheel trucks and VANs similar to the Volkswagen T-Series. Since tricycles once appeared in European history, but have now been eliminated, Xiao Wang is very worried: European small industrial and commercial owners in the 50s looked down on tricycles. Are they going to enter the 2010s in a few years? , can you still fancy Huateng Group’s tricycles?

What Xiao Wang is worried about is also what Jiang He is worried about: these European industrial and commercial owners are so rich, will they choose a tricycle that once existed but was eliminated by them as "losing their status"?

Jiang He was very calm, nodded and said: "You're here, let's ask..."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to greet the owner of the grocery store in front of him: "Hello, sir, I would like to take the liberty of asking, can I ask you a few questions?"

Probably because of the popularity of Jiang He and others, the store owner was very talkative: "What's the problem?"

"That's right," Jiang He pointed at the Iveco truck outside the door and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the car outside should be yours, right?"

"Yes, what?" The boss' tone became a little wary: "Is there something wrong with my car?"

"Sir, don't get me wrong," Jiang He smiled and handed him a business card: "That's right, we are a Chinese automobile manufacturing company doing market research... I want to know from you, if you have a car , can easily carry 500 kilograms of cargo. In fact, you can carry 1200 kilograms without any problem. The price is only 4 to euros, and the fuel consumption per kilometers is less than liters. Would you choose such a car?"

The grocery store owner who had just become a little wary suddenly widened his eyes: "Sir, are you kidding me?"

"Of course not," Jiang He said, "Because this is our company's product."

"This this……"

The grocery store owner was shocked: "How is it possible? How is it possible to have such a cheap car?"

"Why not?"

"Because it's so cheap!"

"But in fact, our company has several products," Jiang He said, taking out the product catalog he made before going abroad. The exquisite high-precision full-color coated paper made the products on it come alive. Jiang He pointed at the picture above. Show it to the other person: "This is our product, like this one, which we call a single-row micro truck. It has a carrying capacity of 0.998 tons. In fact, you can easily load 2 tons of cargo;

This is a double-row micro truck with a standard carrying capacity of 0.5 tons;

This is a satellite van, equivalent to a mini version of a Ford Transit, Iveco or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter;

This is a cargo-carrying three-wheeled motorcycle. According to the needs of the user, we provide various configuration options such as low side panels, high side panels, van-type cargo boxes, open-air, simple awnings and fully enclosed cabs. Prices Starting from only 2000 euros!

We even have a pure electric version suitable for short-distance transportation, which only needs to use standard mains electricity to charge the vehicle..."

The grocery store owner's eyes widened when he saw it: "Oh my god..."
