Chapter 595
Zhang Qihang was silent for a while, and then he asked Hirota Yoshiichi again full of anger: "In this case, what happened to the promise you made to me, President Hirota?"

"This..." Yoshikazu Hirota was embarrassed for a moment. Of course he knew what Zhang Qihang was talking about, and said in a squeak, "This... mainly because we don't think you can do a good job in matching the engines..."

"Ah……"

Hearing the words, Zhang Qihang immediately took over the words, his tone full of anger: "So before Isuzu, you were holding 'Your Huateng Group will definitely fail, and when you fail, you can only turn around and beg us, At that point, we're watching the show with a 'whatever it takes' mentality, right?"

Hirota Yoshiichi became more and more embarrassed: "I can't say that completely..."

It can’t be said exactly, but it can basically be said.

"Okay," Zhang Qihang took a deep breath, and quickly adjusted his mentality: "I understand what you mean, President Hirota, what exactly do you mean, are you going to tear up the contract? If so, no problem But I promise, I will definitely publicize Isuzu Motors' reneging on its promises to you in the Chinese auto industry."

Hirota Yoshiichi didn't expect Zhang Qihang to be so pissed, but he didn't dare to let Zhang Qihang help Isuzu "propaganda" like this. After being publicized by Zhang Qihang, the ending facing Yoshiichi Hirota is not as simple as stepping down. The angry shareholders can tear him apart!

He hurriedly said: "No, no, Zhang Jun, you misunderstood. I mean, our cooperation will continue, but can the engine use our Isuzu's 10PE1? I promise to supply it to you at the cost price..."

Unknowingly, he lowered his pre-call goals.

But Yoshiichi Hirota was interrupted by Zhang Qihang before he finished speaking, and his tone was extremely firm: "This is impossible! President Hirota, when we communicated about the engine issue before, we said that we The reason why we insist on using Weichai's engines is to reduce costs and reduce the demand for foreign exchange, and now you ask me to purchase engines from your Dongying again, which is absolutely impossible!"

"If that's the case, then all I can say is..."

"I can only say I'm sorry?" Yoshiichi Hirota's words were interrupted by Zhang Qihang again, and he asked in a concentrated voice: "President Hirota, are you sure you are serious?"

"Uh...this..."

Hearing Zhang Qihang's rhetorical question with strong pressure, Yoshiichi Hirota couldn't say what was on his lips anyway.

Cancel this cooperation because of the engine problem?
How can this be? !
After more than a year of negotiations, especially after South Korea's Daewoo Bus has also actively entered the Chinese market, the attitude of Isuzu's shareholders has undergone a huge change, from the previous belief that the poor China cannot afford such expensive luxury Highway passenger cars have become the current highly optimistic about China's highway passenger transportation market, and believe that China's high-speed luxury highway passenger transportation market is a huge, almost blank market, and it is the new profit growth point for Isuzu Motors. Under such circumstances, if Hirota Yoshiichi dared to give up the project at this time, he would have to step down today without waiting until tomorrow!
"...Okay," after a while, Hirota Yoshiichi finally spoke with difficulty. This time, Hirota Yoshiichi lowered his head: "GALA must use Isuzu engines, there is no doubt about it! But Which factory these engines are produced in is negotiable."

Zhang Qihang was ecstatic!
How could he not understand what Hirota Yoshiichi meant?
What Hirota Yoshiichi said clearly meant that he agreed to the terms of establishing an engine production line in China that Isuzu proposed but was rejected by Isuzu. Throne, Hirota Yoshiichi finally let go of this matter.

However, since everything you Yoshiichi Hirota is doing now is to keep Yoshiichi Hirota as the president, don't blame me for being rude.

Zhang Qihang said immediately: "If this is the case, then I can promise that the engine products of Isuzu and Kiteu Diesel Engine Company can be included in our company's candidates."

"Just an option?"

Hearing Zhang Qihang's words, Hirota Yoshikazu was immediately unhappy: I made such a big concession, but our Isuzu engine is still just an option?
Zhang Qihang said confidently: "President Hirota, you have to understand one thing, that is, China is still a poor and backward developing country, and users are very concerned about cost. I admit that you, Isuzu, have a profound technical background in the field of large commercial bus engines. , but as a manufacturer, we cannot ignore the needs of the market. If users want to provide customers with a better and more comfortable ride experience, they can of course choose Isuzu engines, but if they pay more attention to procurement costs, they can choose Kite Engines from Dou Diesel Engine Company.

Of course, we are partners, and the GALA bus is imported from your Isuzu, so we can choose the default engine as the Isuzu product. "

"Uh...this..."

Yoshihiro Hirota opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

From his personal point of view, he certainly does not want to see this situation. He even hopes that Huateng Industrial Group will purchase Isuzu diesel engines at a high price, but his reason tells him that this is impossible. The most important thing is to leave it to himself Time is running out, if you still want to keep your position as president, you must come up with a solution as soon as possible.

Under pressure, Yoshiichi Hirota had to back down again: "What if Isuzu's engine can be priced at the same price as WD615?"

Zhang Qihang immediately said: "If the price can be matched, then of course it will be easy to say, then we will definitely use Isuzu diesel engines."

Yoshiichi Hirota breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face: "It's okay, it's okay...

"But President Hirota, I have a question."

"You said."

"It takes about three years for an engine production line to start production from initial planning to final production, but it takes 15 to 18 months for a bus production line to go from initial planning to production. There is a time gap of about 18 to 21 months." Speaking of this, Zhang Qihang asked Hirota Yoshiichi seriously: "President Hirota, how do you plan to deal with the engine supply problem within this time gap?"
