Chapter 490 Why?

Masayoshi Kuroda, who expressed his anticipation, clearly opposed Zhang Qihang's first request...

"Mr. Zhang, I think this is very unnecessary," Kuroda said in response to Zhang Qihang's request that Huateng Group organize a professional evaluation team to evaluate the delica L400, and then set up a negotiation team to negotiate after the evaluation is completed. Justice's reaction was fierce: "delica L400 is a product that Mitsubishi took two years to develop. It has gone through the most stringent quality inspection and evaluation system of Mitsubishi Motors Co., Ltd. to get to where it is today. Not only is it unnecessary for you to do so, It is also a waste of time. I think we can just talk about the quantity of CKD and the price of product introduction.”

Secretary Xiao Liu also felt that Zhang Qihang's request was superfluous. This is Mitsubishi, a frequent visitor and champion in the Dakar Rally and the World Rally Championship. If you choose the four-wheel drive system, it can be seen that Mitsubishi attaches great importance to the DELICA L400.

Moreover, what Mr. Masayoshi Kuroda said is also very reasonable. Our Huateng Industrial Group does not even have experience in producing automobiles. We have to evaluate the new products of Mitsubishi, an experienced and powerful automobile company. What qualifications do we have? Other people's products to be evaluated?
Doesn't this make people laugh out loud? !
He even felt that he could fully understand why Masayoshi Kuroda's reaction was so fierce: If it was in China, a small township enterprise that came to seek cooperation with Huateng Industrial Group said that it would conduct detailed technical research on a certain product of Huateng Industrial Group. Assessed, I myself reacted in the same way.

But since the boss said so, what can he say?
Of course, he hid behind and shivered without saying anything.

But to the surprise of Kuroda Masayoshi and Liu Jianfeng, Zhang Qihang insisted abnormally on this matter: "Mr. You should understand that if Huateng Industry introduces the delica L400, it will be sold all over the country. These areas range from the eastern coast to the western desert, and the climate ranges from the southernmost subtropical zone to the northernmost subarctic zone. .

I don't doubt the adaptability of delica L400 in various climates in Dongying, but can you ensure that this product can adapt to all climates and terrains in China? "

Secretary Xiao Liu was stunned: Is there so much more to pay attention to?
Before that, he also felt that his boss' request was superfluous, but now he heard what Zhang Qihang said, and felt that his boss' request was not unreasonable?

"Uh...this..."

Masayoshi Kuroda did not expect Zhang Qihang to use the terrain and climate adaptability as an excuse, and his momentum was suppressed in an instant. After a moment of stunned, he said bravely: "Of course it is no problem. Our DELICA L400 is not only sold in our Dongying , and also exported to many countries in Southeast Asia. In order to meet the climatic conditions in Southeast Asia, we have done corresponding tests. As for the northern part of your country... Although the northern part of your country is indeed cold in winter, it is also different from ours. The Hokkaido area is similar, since we have done corresponding tests in Southeast Asia and our country's Hokkaido area, so I don't think it is necessary..."

"OK," Zhang Qihang nodded, then changed the subject suddenly, and asked, "Is the climate of Hokkaido in your country similar to that of some regions and countries in Europe?"

Masayoshi Kuroda didn't quite understand what Zhang Qihang meant for a while, but Zhang Qihang compared Japan with Europe, which still made Masayoshi Kuroda, who was full of yearning for "leaving Asia and entering Europe" in his bones, subconsciously said: "Haha...no Wrong, our Hokkaido in Japan is indeed very similar to some countries in Northern Europe..."

Zhang Qihang nodded with a smile, and then asked: "If that's the case, then why do your country's auto companies develop European models specifically for European market regulations and climatic conditions?"

"This this……"

Masayoshi Kuroda was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond!

Only then did he realize that he had jumped into the hole dug by Zhang Qihang, and he couldn't argue for a while——Yes, since you said that the climate in your Hokkaido region is similar to that in the northeast region of China, you have also done it in Southeast Asia. test, so there is no need to develop a model for China, so why did you develop a European model specifically for the European market?
Isn't this a contradiction?

As for the secretary Xiao Liu, seeing Masayoshi Kuroda who was stupefied on the spot, he knew that the request made by his boss was a reasonable request. On the contrary, the reason why Mitsubishi rejected the request of Huateng Industrial Group was contempt for the Chinese market. , I suddenly felt a little unhappy.

After being stunned for more than ten seconds, Masayoshi Kuroda reluctantly said, "Mr. Zhang, this is different..."

Zhang Qihang smiled, and did not refute the nonsense of Masayoshi Kuroda that even he could not fool himself, and then said: "Mr. Kuroda, frankly speaking, Delica L400 is indeed a product that I really like and want to introduce , but if you really can’t get in, delica L300, Toyota HIACE, Nissan Jiaben, Isuzu WFR and Mazda E2000 can also be considered. We will contact one by one, and there will always be companies willing to cooperate with us.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Qihang paused for a while, and said slowly: "For example, Toyota, since they have transferred the technology of the fourth-generation HIACE to our Brilliance Automobile in China, I think Toyota will not mind selling the same technology in China." Another example: Isuzu. As far as I know, Isuzu’s public financial report last year was not very good. If there is such a good news of “CKD + technology transfer” at this time, it will not only stabilize the sentiment of shareholders and the stock market, but also help The current leadership is in place, don't you think?"

These words hit the heart of Masayoshi Kuroda, and made him realize that Mitsubishi Motors does not have an absolute advantage in front of the opponent, just like what this bastard said, yes, that's right, relying on the front With the advantages of rear drive, Mitsubishi delica L400 is indeed more comfortable and quieter than its competitors, especially after the engine is moved forward from under the front and co-pilot seats to the engine compartment, there is no such huge car under the front and co-pilot seats. The bulging, the distinguished passengers in the second row can finally stretch their legs comfortably. Compared with high-end products, these are the core competitiveness of Mitsubishi delica L400, which is true.

But having said that, do competitors of the Mitsubishi Delica series such as Nissan Jiaben and Toyota HIACE really have nothing to commend them?
