A person next to him came over, rubbing his hands, with an excited look on his face: "Excuse me, are you Miss Ai?"
Alia turned her head in confusion: "I am, who are you?"
The other party immediately responded: "Hi! I'm very sorry to bother you - I'm the deputy director of Toyota's Donghuang region, my name is Ji Feng!"
"Hello, Mr. Hayate, what can I do for you?"
"It's like this. We at Toyota have just received a GR Supra, and it's a pre-modification model with all procedures open."
The other party handed over a box with both hands: "This is our welcome gift to you! There will be a track performance in the afternoon, please be sure to come and enjoy it!"
Alia looked at the car keys in the open box and raised an eyebrow: "I don't have a driver's license. Thank you. I appreciate it."
"You don't need a driver's license to drive on the track, so you can focus on enjoying the fun of driving! We can also help you complete any modification requirements!"
GRsupra, Toyota's coupe, is also known as the Bull Demon King.
There is quite a bit of connection between Bull Demon King and GTR.
Toyota was jealous of Nissan's Z series back then, so it wanted to create a similar competitor, the Supra.
So in essence, the Nissan Coupe is a car series that was born out of Toyota's jealousy of Nissan's coupe series.
Although GT-R is not unique to Nissan, other manufacturers such as Honda and Porsche also have models with similar suffixes.
But whenever we talk about GTR, what comes to mind is still Nissan's Skyline sedan series, just like when we talk about 911, we still think of Porsche.
Every family has a leading actress, but Toyota didn’t have one at the beginning…
It all started with Datsun, the predecessor of Nissan.
In the 20s, Datsun released the Datsun 70Z in Europe and the United States.
As the original model of Japanese sports cars, the 240Z achieved a good result of being ranked in the top 3 in the European and American sales charts as soon as it was launched.
However, Toyota's "Toyota Export Five-Year Plan" launched during the same period has always had sluggish sales.
Even at that time, Toyota only exported a total of 8.4 vehicles to the United States region throughout the year, which was less than a fraction of the Datsun Z series.
The unexpected popularity of the Z series has made Toyota, which has always pursued steady progress, uneasy.
This guy has taken away all the pots! What are you still waiting for with your bowls in your hands? Waiting to die?
So Eiji Toyoda, then president of Toyota, abandoned the current product roadmap and gave priority to building a similar competitor to the 240Z.
But they lack relevant experience. The 240Z is a coupe, but Toyota has always been making family cars.
So they asked Lotus to help and provide technical support.
The Lotus brand is a warm-hearted brand in the car manufacturing industry, and anyone can ask it for help.
Ford hired him in the past, and he also helped Mazda.
Even Tesla later obtained the basic technology for car manufacturing from him.
So he did not hide it and helped Toyota develop a new Celica series and tuned a particularly good chassis.
In order to distinguish it from the traditional Celica, Toyota gave this car a new name overseas, called Celica Supra.
As Lotus further tunes the Supra, the handling performance of the new model has also been greatly improved.
Both the suspension system and the steering system are far superior to the previous generation and have extraordinary quality.
Later, President Eiji Toyoda believed that Supra already had unique product strengths and could be used to expand the company's own high-performance sports car product line.
Being under Celica as it is now is a bit like buying the casket and returning the pearl.
So let’s drop the prefix – we’ll just call it Supra, and codename it A70.
In fact, up to this point, the Bull Demon King has not officially confronted the GTR. The real confrontation is with the engine.
Supra has been upgraded to the fourth generation, code-named A80, and has produced a legendary engine.
A machine that has been imitated but never surpassed since its birth, code-named 2JZ-GTE and nicknamed Glory.
Produced by Toyota, it is a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine.
The factory horsepower of the vehicle is 280 horsepower, the torque is only 435 Nm, and the acceleration from 4.6 to km/h is seconds.
Judging from the book data, this result is not impressive.
So why is it called glory?
The reason is that by simply replacing a simple turbocharger, you can increase the horsepower by a small amount.
Well, from 280 to 750...
Some players even pushed it to the limit and raised it a little further to 750.
It’s not much, just increased from 750 to 2000.
Not two hundred, but two thousand.
Toyota killed the competition with an engine that has fans and the market embracing the 2JZ more than any other engine on the market or even in history.
The huge upgrade potential and excellent durability make this 2JZ-GTE a legend and also give the fourth-generation Supra the reputation of "straight line overlord".
Of course, there is also the nickname of "Death on the Bend"...
The same period can be said to be the most glorious moment for Japanese cars, with Nissan Skyline GT-R, Mazda RX7, Honda NSX, and Toyota A80 competing on the same stage.
Even until now, traces of those glorious past can be seen in many film and television works.
It's just like in the movie Fast and Furious, where the protagonist uses a broken car to pay off his debts, it looks like it should be thrown into the garbage dump.
When I opened the hood, I saw 2JZ-GTE! The Bull Demon King engine!
The contrast is immediately apparent, as if the squad leader who usually wears pigtails and behaves well-behaved suddenly pulls you to a small cubicle to look at the winning underwear.
Then after the glory came silence. For almost twenty years, there was no major progress in Japanese cars.
Even the latest model of the Bull Demon King, which is said to be the spiritual sequel, has replaced the engine of other companies.
Of course, after replacing someone else's engine, they were still very considerate and reserved an installation port for the 2JZ engine.
If customers feel that it is not authentic enough, they can buy a 2JZ-GTE engine and install it, and all interface program permissions will be opened.
After all, just like people who buy GTR do so for its performance, people who buy Bull Demon King probably do so for its legendary 2JZ engine.
So the deputy director also said that if Alia has any modification requirements, they can help.
As for whether Alia will change this - do you think the world's number one speeding offender only knows how to step on the accelerator?
Ailia thought about it, but before she made a decision, Miura came over with Zhou Xiubo.
What a thieving cat, snatching our customers while I'm away?
Gale! I knew it was you!
Alia looked left and right, Miura, Hayate... Do you have another friend with the surname Irima?
"Manager Jifeng, there is no future for the Bull Demon King. Even if our GTR gives you a 100-meter starting distance, we can still win."
Supervisor Jifeng laughed: "We run 100 meters to wait for the turbine to start up. What are you waiting for?"
The two looked at each other, their eyes almost sparking.
Zhou Xiubo was very panicked. He wanted to grab Manager Miura and explain that some collaborations cannot be terminated just like that.
"First of all, our service department will not ask you questions like that. You are spreading rumors."
"Secondly, our service department dare not pry into the privacy of customers and retrieve their driving records without permission? This is a serious failure of business procedures!"
"In the end, you have no idea what Miss Ai was driving for. If we want to implement our branding, she is indeed the best spokesperson."
Today, the image created by their luxury car brand Infiniti is that of an exclusive car for celebrity families, highlighting the family-oriented, inclusive and warm nature of an elite family.
But compared to the so-called good family men who are promoted by traffic, Alia Oh Kasan demonstrates true family warmth with her life.
Do you know what 'the last minute on the rooftop' means?
Do you know what the 'most heroic mother' is?
With that leap, he could crush all the traffic stars to pieces!
As for that photo, it has won major awards in major journalism competitions.
It seems that due to problems with information dissemination, it has not yet spread widely in the country.
The child who almost fell off the rooftop was held in Alia's arms. The light and shadows were bright and dark, and the navy blue night sky was cold and lonely.
But the light hit Arya's profile. She was holding the child, with one hand hanging down, letting the blood flow.
It was like a broken-winged angel embracing a wounded child with one hand, with determination and warm light reflected in his eyes.
Otherwise, how could she gain so many fanatical fans? It is useless to rely solely on marketing. Everyone can see the real efforts.
Just like no one can say that Jack Chan's reputation in filmmaking is undeserved after watching his film footage.
No one would say that Alia was not a good person after understanding what she really did.
Sanpu pointed at Zhou Xiubo and said in a very serious tone: "Mr. Zhou, I ask you to leave immediately - otherwise I will call the security guard!"
Alia tilted her head: "Zhou Xiubo?"
Suddenly I feel like a villain now.
The abominable Ai chaebol used its wealth to oppress honest businesses, and Zhou Sang also suffered.
Of course Zhou Sang didn't dare to argue with Alia in person. His voice was loud online, so even if he wanted to bite Alia to death offline, he still had to force a smile.
After all, there are very few people who can act like an idiot like Alia when they don't agree with something...
But Alia obviously didn't want to pay attention to him: "Mr. Miura, what's the matter with the invitation to be the spokesperson you mentioned before?"
"It's like this, if you are willing, I would like you to be our regional spokesperson!"
"No, I don't want to."
"Ah...it's such a pity, but this invitation is valid for a long time!"
"Miura-kun, are you insulting Miss Ai?" Director Jifeng showed a look of contempt: "Just a regional spokesperson?"
He waved to the salesperson behind him, and after some chattering, the other party took out a big box, and he turned around holding it.
"Ms. Ai, we would like to invite you to become our car brand ambassador! As a gift, we will give you one of each of our new models. Here are the keys to all the models we brought to this auto show. In addition, we will also airfreight some that are not exhibited here as soon as possible."
Are you kidding me? This is Alia!
Those who refuse the National Honor Award can have people with the same level of 'National Respect'!
The last athlete to receive the National Honor Award now endorses thirteen brands, and the annual endorsement fee for a single brand is over 100 million yen.
In addition to huge endorsements, the income sources of these top national athletes also include commercial performances, peripheral products, royalties, business collaborations, competition prize money, etc.
But Alia neither took part in any performances nor any competitions. Her character was mainly about someone who was hard to get.
Why does Yuan Gu always want to use her to fill the center position on the poster? It’s because she is popular!
Alia's popularity with the audience is extremely good. The TV station has done statistics and found that the ratings of the dramas in which she appeared increased by at least 3 points.
Don’t forget that Alia’s current fan base consists of growing boys and girls.
If such a lazy national idol is caught by himself and tied to a car brand, guess what the future main consumer force will think?
And don’t think that Japanese car companies are so sophisticated when it comes to choosing spokespersons.
Comparing with the ones they chose before, Alia is definitely the top one.
If we have to find someone with a higher reputation, it would have to be Yao Ming.
But didn’t it work?
They had approached Yao Ming before, and were even introduced through Yao Ming's boss Alexander.
You should know that the Rockets' stadium sponsor is Toyota, and their home stadium is called Toyota Center.
The contract was so generous that even Yao Ming's teammates were jealous, but Yao Ming did not go and did not provide any explanation.
Before this, their wisest choice was to find the guy who liked milk tea because of the AE86 in a certain movie.
So to be honest, their vision is much better than Nissan's, and it is reasonable for them to want to grab Alia now.
But Alia thought it was unreasonable!
Is it possible that I am here to buy a car, not to sell my body?
Toyota currently sells more than 40 models, and there are more than 30 keys in this box.
