Please make money.

Alia frowned slightly, wondering what was wrong with the host.

I’ve thanked you for several minutes three hundred billion times ago, is that not enough?

"Let us welcome the guests of this dinner, the donation representative of Nissan Motors!"

Alia raised her eyebrows, looked towards the backstage, and found that the person walking up was not Managing Director Narita.

It was a person he didn't know, and there were many other people he didn't know behind him, and they looked like they had just arrived.

"Nissan's donation representative!"

"Toyota Motors' donation representative!"

"Honda Motor's donation representative!"

"Donation representative of Mitsubishi Motors!"

"Mazda Motor's donation representative -- please come in --"

Nissan is a subsidiary of Nissan. If we really want to talk about the automotive industry in Chongqing, it is basically here.

The five major automobile manufacturers dominate the vast majority of the market in Sakura's automobile industry and are well-known all over the world.

Even Mazda, which is often mocked for its traffic jams, has the technology of rotary engines.

Alia felt the gazes on her and tilted her head slightly to whisper to Prime Minister Lei.

"Are you coming for me?"

"Yes, it should be the chain reaction of Narita."

"What route?"

"To support you... probably."

"We would like to invite the donation representative from Nissan Motor to speak!"

"Ahem... Mina-san." The guy who replaced Managing Director Narita was a relatively young but very courageous man.

He stood on the stage, looking at Alia with a look that couldn't even be described as sincere, it was so affectionate.

"Miss Alia's singing voice has a surging vitality. After listening to it, I was deeply moved and the courage to live on was endless."

Aaliyah was a little amused: "This flattery is too hard. I won't——"

"So, for this song, we at Nissan Motors are willing to donate 2 billion yen to UNICEF!"

Aaliyah was about to say that she did not admit it, but she stopped and gave a meaningful smile.

The camera turned to her face, and Alia Oh Kasan on the big screen had a moved look on her face.

She clapped her hands vigorously, seemed very grateful, and saluted the donation representative from Nissan.

"We at Nissan also hope to donate 5 billion yen in the name of Miss Ai's song."

"Toyota Motors is very touched by Ms. Ai's contribution to charity. The amount of this donation is 5 billion yen!"

"Honda Motors, Miss Ai's singing voice has the power to heal lives - 5 billion yen! "

"Mitsubishi Motors, if possible, I really want to buy Miss Ai's first album as soon as possible, and donate 2 billion yen in Miss Ai's name!"

"Mazda, we sincerely hope that tomorrow will be better and the weather will be good. Ms. Ai and Donghuang are both good friends of our Mazda. For this touching moment and friendship, we also donate 2 billion yen!"

Ailia wiped her eyes and said in a voice that only those around her could hear: "I think I know why the host's hands are shaking..."

One song is equivalent to raising 51 billion yen in donations. What does this mean?

It is equivalent to Alia singing this song in China, and then the audience calculated and found that they received donations of 2.6 billion!

This is quite a sensation worldwide. The last song that could raise so much money was probably "We Are the World" which Michael Jackson gathered so many singers to sing. It was sung all over the world and eventually brought at least 60 million US dollars in donations to Africa.

The venue was busy for at least twenty minutes preparing for this sudden wave of donations, with various speeches and then the subsequent performances.

But no one cares about Kiko Umekawa's singing and Ame Fujisawa's piano music anymore.

The camera almost nailed Alia's face. She was obviously just a guest performer, but she had a bit of a "sharp commentator" vibe to her.

If she smiles and claps while singing, everyone will think she sings well.

If she frowned, not only other people but even the singer herself would be frightened.

The TV station’s live broadcast saw its ratings soar like a dark horse, increasing dramatically!

The original viewership rating of around 9 points has risen to around 17 points, and is still increasing slowly.

You have to know that the ratings of the Red and White Songs Contest are only over 30 points. This is really a small Red and White Songs Contest, right?

While people were singing on the stage, people in the audience were also busy. One after another, people from the automotive industry came to greet Alia.

Alia just couldn’t understand these guys’ train of thought—you guys are doing team building in your industry, why are you running around me?

If that doesn't work, you can talk to Managing Director Narita!

Where is General Manager Narita? General Manager Narita, please save him!

Managing Director Narita has fallen - he died in the fight with the might of the Golden Dragon - how could Alia have such a dream?

People from Toyota, Honda and Mitsubishi actually came over to exchange a few words.

For them, spending the charity budget that they had to spend this year and establishing a good relationship with Alia was a sure win.

Even though they say the donations are made in the name of Alia, that's just a reputation.

If we really do the math and include it in the financial report, it is still a charitable deduction and there will be no change just because it does not cost any money.

Of course, favors do exist, and the relationship between Alia and them has also risen from strangers to the level of "slightly favorable impression".

Nissan came to apologize, spending an extra 2 billion yen of budget and buying Alia's reputation twice.

Alia repeatedly stated that what happened between her and Managing Director Narita was just a misunderstanding and nothing serious.

On the contrary, your company's enthusiasm for charity is really admirable. We should cooperate more in the future...

Alia's talk of more cooperation is like she will definitely continue next time or tomorrow, but whether she will do so or not depends on her mood afterwards.

What if Mercury goes retrograde? There's nothing we can do about it...

But there was a little cutie who actually listened seriously and wanted to have something happen with Alia on the spot.

"Ah - then please give us an intention to cooperate, and we will organize a special project team to visit you tomorrow."

Who is so picky?

Alia raised the non-existent magnifying glass and took a look - Mazda!

Tsk...how should I put it, I kind of understand it, but it's also kind of funny.

Mazda is one of the top five automobile companies, but it is not having an easy time in Donghuang.

The reason is a line from Tony Leung Ka Fai...

Just this one line of dialogue destroyed Mazda's fortune and it has been unable to recover for more than 20 years.

Mr. Liang had a scene in the movie "Black Gold" and the lines were something like this.

"Traffic jam? What car were you in?"

"Mazda."

"We all drive Mercedes-Benz and Rolls-Royce, but you drive a Mazda. No wonder you get stuck in traffic."

Logically speaking, a movie shouldn’t have such a big influence.

But it happened to coincide with the rise of the Internet era and a new stage of information dissemination.

"Black Gold" is indeed a good movie. When it was first broadcast, Mazda confidently stated that it didn't matter.

As a result, the sales volume in the second year evaporated by more than 50%, and the loss reached 66 billion yuan...

Some people bluntly said that Mr. Liang was 80% responsible for the sharp drop in Mazda's sales in Donghuang.

Because with the development of the Internet and the rise of short videos, classic clips of "Black Gold" have been spread on a larger scale.

Mazda is also deeply associated with labels such as "traffic jam" and "low-end" - this is fatal for car companies.

Mazda owners are also troubled by this - when they are stuck in traffic, everyone will smile knowingly when they see a Mazda.

Laugh, laugh, laugh till you’re done!

But it really seems that anyone can say: "You drive a Mazda, no wonder you are stuck in traffic."

In order to restore its brand image, Mazda took Mr. Liang to court, but ultimately lost the case.

What’s even more ridiculous is that on the day of the trial, Mazda’s lawyer was late due to traffic jam.

The car he was driving was a Mazda. The judge asked him why he was late, and the lawyer said there was a traffic jam.

The judge probably slipped up and asked casually, "What kind of car are you driving?"

Mazda's lawyer's face turned green at that time...

Under the vicious cycle, Mazda's sales in the Donghuang market are becoming increasingly worrying.

2017年到2022年，马自达汽车的销量从30万台跌至10.8万台，同比下降41.2%。

Just like "Baleno! Brand!", I was deeply hurt by a line.

But Mazda cannot lose the Donghuang market, just like the 3D zone cannot lose Jerusalem.

The Donghuang market is a global market, and Chongqing companies have always set entering the Donghuang market as their development goal.

It is the closest, has the largest market in the world, and ranks among the top three in purchasing power. Whoever loses the Donghuang market will have to wait for stagnation.

Under such a premise, Toyota, Honda and the like are just trying to establish a good relationship with Alia, but Mazda really wants Alia to save its life.

They have checked and found that Alia now has a good reputation, financial resources and technology.

Don’t ask, the best solution is to have a brand spokesperson - if she gives us a hand, then maybe there is still hope.

You know, Mazda is planning to reconcile with Tony Leung Ka Fai, and even invite him to be the brand spokesperson, which shows how humble it is...

But Mazda is too straightforward, like a straight man who doesn’t know how to fall in love, and the positioning of the car itself is very subtle.

When people buy a car, they like large space, want a big screen, hope for cost-effectiveness, and are attracted by a quiet interior environment.

Mazda’s response is probably just one sentence – I have the most powerful rotary engine!!

What can consumers say? What rotary engine, what Skyactiv-X, I don’t understand.

I support you emotionally, but from the perspective of reason and wallet, I can only say goodbye.

Alia originally didn't plan to build cars. After all, it would feel too much like a mobile phone maker building cars.

However, seeing her gentle attitude, Mazda threw the idea of ​​spokesperson out of the window and wanted to cooperate deeply.

Let’s go beyond friendship—let’s make money together!

Alia had never seen anyone so eager to give something as a gift. Perhaps Mazda was remembering the happy times they had back then.

At the end of the last century, Mazda and Donghuang’s domestic company established a joint venture subsidiary, namely Haima, and produced a number of popular models such as 323 and Haima Travel.

At that time, Haima 323 was one of the most competitive models in the Donghuang market at the same time, and was jokingly called the new three.

Aaliya said no, no, Mazda said yes.

Aaliya says I am still doing charity, don’t talk about cooperation for now, there is no rush.

Mazda became anxious and said, "Then I'll donate another one to you - just wait and see!"

Then he actually donated another 10 billion yen. I guess he took out all the charity donation budget for next year. He was a bit over the top.

Ailia discussed it with Prime Minister Lei, and Prime Minister Lei had some guesses.

"Mazda should be related to the Suzuki Group and know some other news."

"That's it..."

"But as for cooperation, you still have the final say, Miss. You don't have to give them face."

Mr. Lei is a very arrogant person. He looks peaceful, but in fact, even the Suzuki Group looks down on him.

If he is given enough platforms, he has nine ways to take down the Suzuki Group - nine ways - and Alia really has such a platform behind her.

It’s just that she doesn’t plan to use it herself… maybe?

"It's not impossible to cooperate." Alia stroked her chin and said, "Anyway, with such a large sum of money, I have to find a way to spend it."

Prime Minister Lei calmly pushed his decorative plain glasses and said, "Then I will arrange for the investment department to contact them."
