Andrew looked at the article on the computer screen in front of him, his eyes wide open, and he wanted to push the computer display with the big head in front of him to the ground with a slap...
These damn Chinese people, they know nothing, they dare to comment on cars, are these damn yellow-skinned monkeys in their minds?
Damn, you can buy whatever these savages, our noble Germans do, and you are also qualified to comment on cars?
What are you? A inferior nation that cannot even make an engine. It has been working with us Volkswagen for almost twenty years and has made no progress at all. A bunch of guys who have no shame at all. They only know that the black-hearted businessmen who make money and the numb people are the impressions that Chinese people leave in their hearts.
Andrew is the representative of the joint venture factory sent by Volkswagen to China. He is usually stationed in Puhai and sometimes goes back to the Northern FAW to take a look, but he prefers Puhai.
First of all, the natural environment here is relatively good. It will not be like Northern FAW. In a year, it is winter. Secondly, people in Puhai are more enthusiastic.
How to say it specifically, the women here are particularly enthusiastic. Almost every weekend, even if they wear big shorts and a pair of slippers, they can catch very good girls in Puhai’s bar, and it’s free. This is definitely a paradise for him, an old spoiler who is divorced in his forties.
You know, if it is in Germany, it is just a virtuous guy who wears Armani and goes to the bar. It is difficult to catch such a girl of quality.
The girls here are really cheap, and after every time they use them, they can say goodbye to them directly without taking any responsibility, and they won’t come to cry. This is simply a paradise for any man. Of course, first of all, you have to be a white man, especially the blonde hair and blue eyes, so the effect is better.
Andrew used to be a middle-level manager at Volkswagen in Germany, but because he was very good at taking sides in the company's internal struggles, he was appreciated by his superiors.
After he took office, he sent him to China to serve as the position of Volkswagen as the responsible commissioner for image in China. In fact, in the eyes of many Germans, this is definitely a good position that cannot be better.
This location in other countries and regions is simply a matter of life and death. Except in Germany and Europe, Volkswagen's cars are basically not easy to sell, and they cannot beat Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
Not to mention the United States, the world's largest automobile market. They are only abused by Japanese cars.
In the Asian market, South Korea and Japan have no share in them at all. Instead, they have become a paradise for the masses in China. The profits they can make in this rapidly growing market are equivalent to the total sales of their sales in Europe. Even in the past two years, the profits they made in China had exceeded their profits in Europe.
Chinese people like Volkswagen. This is what his ex told him before he came here, and his ex even told him.
You don’t need to do anything, because even if you don’t promote it, these stupid Chinese people will still buy our cars, and we don’t even need to worry about advertising ourselves. Our partners in China will help us handle it.
So Andrew happily took office. During the two years he took office, he found that his ex told him nothing was wrong. It was indeed the case. These Chinese people were like fools. They bought whatever you do.
For example, the 1.8 and 2.2 turbocharged engines they installed and used on Passat and Audi. This thing can be sold in China, but it cannot be sold abroad.
In Europe, the better-selling model is Golf, while Audi and Passat cannot be sold in the United States, so such models can be sold in China.
Moreover, Germans also sell such things with the idea of letting Chinese people be guinea pigs. After all, in the past few years, there seemed to be few companies in the world that would recognize turbocharged engines.
After all, in the eyes of many people who know how to use cars, turbochargers are a disaster. You should know that early turbines can only increase the engine power. The electronically controlled electronic injection technology at that time was not very good, so as long as the turbine was added, the engine would definitely cost a lot of fuel.
Moreover, the quality of the turbine at that time was not as high as 50,000 kilometers. However, after replacing one turbine, the cost and cost are not low.
The most important thing is that the turbine is very easy to break. Generally, after 30,000 kilometers, problems are very easy to occur, and cars often cause people to be left on the road.
Therefore, the reliability of quality is a problem for the public around the world. Even in their own hometown in Germany, they have been criticized by their own consumers many times.
However, Volkswagen engineers firmly believe that taking the turbocharged engine route is the mainstream trend in future engine development, so they have been working hard to study turbocharged engines. However, after the development, if such engine models are sold in Germany and the United States, local consumers and American consumers will definitely not buy it.
So they quickly thought of their largest overseas market, China, and after packaging the turbocharged engine, they sold it to these poor Chinese men.
And as his predecessor Heinz said, these Chinese people are fools. They don’t know the car at all, so no matter what kind of evil intentions their car contains, they will still happily buy which car they buy home.
To be honest, the most stressful thing in the work Andrew has done in the past two years after he took office is how to settle the matter of those consumers who have bought inferior products and returned to hold them accountable.
In fact, Volkswagen's cars have always had many problems, and they have received many complaints in China. However, because Volkswagen is cooperating with two domestic monopoly car companies, it is not a problem for them to settle those complaints.
What are Passat, Audi's engine oil burning, what are Passat, Audi's turbo quality defects, and the two cars use turbochargers to easily pull cylinders, etc.
In recent years, they have received hundreds of complaints almost every year, but what is the final result?
Haven't it been settled by him and Andrew using tough measures?
If there is any complaint, we are always noble and cold and ignore them. If they go to court to sue, we are even less afraid of them.
What does our huge legal aid team do? If such a lawsuit cannot be settled, what will we do to support them?
Also, don’t we have two such powerful partners in China? Some things can often be settled with just one word.
There are also those who are blind and are thinking about pushing me to the 315th Gala. Do you think we are afraid of you?
The media exposed that it is a trivial matter for us. We public places so many advertisements in China every year. What news media dares to stand up openly and challenge us?
You are a waste of investment in advertising expenses for so many years! Not only do you give them advertising expenses, but you also give them so many red envelopes every year. Isn’t it just to let their editors who are unconscience write soft articles for us?
So after two years of hard work, Andrew's national conditions were roughly touched. He looked down on the Chinese people, whether they were businessmen, officials, or ordinary people.
In his heart, these guys are inferior people, especially those who know cars. They don’t know the shortcomings of Volkswagen’s cars, but for the sake of money, they would rather choose to be blind.
So Andrew was at ease to make money from the Chinese and was also frustrated with these Chinese mothers.
In his opinion, you really don’t have to take these Chinese people too seriously, because you don’t even take your own people as human beings. You should know that if the defective products like Volkswagen are sold in Germany or the United States, not to mention many every year. As long as there are more than 100 complaints that cannot be dealt with in time, Volkswagen will not have to mess around. Both the German and US governments can exaggerate the Volkswagen.
But in China, such a thing will never happen.
Since they don’t take their own people seriously, why do we, foreigners, take them seriously?
Anyway, as long as you want to complain about our public quality problems, you will forcefully ban them. If you want to repair them, pay for them yourself, and exchange them, it is impossible. At worst, you can go to a lawsuit and see you in court.
Andrew spent two years in China. He felt that this place was simply paradise, the intensity of work was not challenging at all, and he could also get a high salary and enjoy the service of beautiful women in China. There was no job that was more comfortable than such a job.
But just today, after he got up, he came to the computer, turned on the computer, and entered a newly opened car website he often visited recently. Several articles with very eye-catching titles on the website immediately made Andrew fall into a state of furiousness.
