There is a traitor!
There was a flash of white light in Mitsuto Tanaka's mind. You should know that in fact, every manufacturer who plays in automobile manufacturing actually has its own shortcomings. Whether it is Toyota, Volkswagen, Honda, or GM, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.
For example, Volkswagen, the newly launched combination of T-private and DSG is actually a joke in the eyes of engineers in the industry. The T-private has been released from Europe, the United States, and other parts of the world, and the DSG transmission, let alone, everyone knows that the thing has innate defects.
As for Honda, their fatal flaw is their transmissions. There are only a few transmissions that can produce 6ats worldwide, including ZF, Aisin, Japan, and others are protected by multiple patents.
So it is difficult for Honda to break through the 6at blockade. Their 5at adopts a completely different design from several other car manufacturers, using a dual-axis output. Although the performance is comparable to other 6ats, this is also the limit of this transmission. If you want to upgrade, there is almost no hope.
So their automatic transmission is at its limit, and it has been used by Honda for ten years and has not changed. This is also the main reason why many consumers abandon Honda. People like 6ats, but you still use 5ats. Although the effect is good, everyone may not necessarily pay. After all, if you say 5ats, it doesn’t sound good.
But who can understand Honda's pain? It's not that they don't want to change it, but that they really don't have a product that can be replaced. It was not until ten years later that they had to replace the Accord with a CVT to solve the transmission problem.
As for Toyota, let alone the representative model Camry, which can be said to be a classic model in Europe and the United States. But in China, there are many problems, such as broken shafts and unstable chassis, and 4ats must be used even if they die. When it comes to it, it has a lot of problems.
As for general purpose, just a single tiger can already overcome all the shortcomings of general purpose.
Therefore, almost no perfect car manufacturer has perfect products, and almost every product of every car manufacturer has considerable defects.
But generally, such defects are understood by peers in the industry, but those outside the industry may not be able to understand them, even some more professional editors in the automotive industry.
After all, although you know the car, you can only understand it from the appearance and driving experience. You can't break it apart and then take it apart and study it one by one. If you have that ability, you don't have to do car text editing. You can just become a design engineer.
Therefore, in the view of Tanaka Mitsudo, only real insiders know the defects of these companies or models, and it is even more impossible for laymen, especially copywriters in countries like China, who are in a car desert area.
But he was able to write so bluntly, so simple and easy to understand, which means that someone must have told the editor about the shortcomings of Toyota and Honda.
So who is the traitor?
You should know that although Toyota, Honda and Volkswagen are both competitive, no matter what, everyone is making a living in the same industry. Although everyone doesn’t say it clearly, there is a hidden rule, that is, don’t expose the shortcomings of their peers. After all, everyone has their own problems. If you expose the shortcomings of their peers, then they will come back to expose your shortcomings.
So although everyone has no clear regulations, there is such an unwritten unwritten rule.
But now this rule seems to have been broken, and the most questionable object is the public. You should know that they were first hacked by that website. They had a big fuss before and had to sue them.
But unexpectedly, after coming back, the Chetuo Home website had an action, and then Volkswagen became disgraced and stopped arguing with others. Instead, he obediently accepted the cases of car owners who defended their rights.
After that, it became even more strange. At the beginning, one or two advertisements about Volkswagen would pop up from time to time. Originally, he thought that Volkswagen spent money to buy the Cartswagen, but now it seems that Volkswagen gave them more money and asked them to do some other things?
For example, hack his direct competitor, two Japanese car dealers"?
When I think of this, Mitsuto Tanaka felt that this was very possible, because he had contacted those Germans. Although they were all serious and rigorous on the surface, they were actually very serious and rigorous behind their backs, and they could use any means. When it comes to being dirty, they were better than anyone else.
It seems that I should call Toyota Yukio. As a Japanese company, I am facing such a crisis now, and it seems that I should unite and show my muscles to the outside world.
Mitsuto Tanaka picked up the phone and found Toyota Yukio's phone number, but he was not in a hurry to broadcast it.
Toyota Yukio hates him very much, and he also hates Toyota Yukio very much.
Toyota Yukio is a noble young master who shouts a golden spoon. Because he has developed smoothly in Japan with the surname Toyota, but Tanaka Mitsuto is different. His family is born as a civilian, and he can reach this day by relying on himself.
He and Yukio Toyota knew each other when they were in college, but at that time he worked hard for more than ten years before he was admitted to Waseda University. And that Toyota relied on the strength of his family and only half of his scores were taken, he entered Waseda.
It's really fucking. From then on, Mitsuto Tanaka saw Toyota unhappy, and Yukio Toyota was also unhappy. The two of them were enemies since then.
Later, he also worked in the automobile manufacturing industry and even fought in this field.
In the past, both of them were responsible for their sales in North America, but the North American market was very mature. Their Japanese brands have been in the United States for decades, so they don’t have to worry too much.
After coming to China, everyone came to strengthen each other's market share. This time, Mitsuto Tanaka finally came to Toyota Yukio, and Honda Accord, which won the championship in China's automobile sales rankings for more than ten consecutive months, steadily suppressing Toyota, which made him very proud.
Now he is asked to call Toyota Yukio to ask for alliances, he is really a little embarrassed.
After thinking about it, Mitsuto Tanaka still hung up the phone, and he decided to wait.
Just as he put down the phone, Toyota Yukio was also hesitating whether to call Tanaka and ask him what he was thinking?
However, he also felt that he couldn't help making this call, because once he gave him a call to Tanaka, it would mean that he had surrendered first, which was unacceptable for a proud person like him.
Just when he was dazed in front of the phone and was fighting naturally, the phone in front of him suddenly rang, and his heart suddenly jumped. Could it be that the guy from Tanaka called? He didn't have time to look at the caller ID, so he answered the phone.
"Moxi, Moxi..."
"Hi! Is it Yukio-san?"
"Hi! I am, who are you?"
As soon as he heard the sound, Toyota Yukio knew that it was not Tanaka Mitsuto who called. While he felt a little disappointed, he also felt a little curious about the person who called. This person spoke very well in Japanese, with a little Kansai accent, but who it was? He seemed that he had never heard of this guy's voice before.
"Hahaha, it's Yukio-san, you're so Yukio-san. I'm the general representative of Nissan in China. My name is Sato Matsunobu..."
"Ah...so...oh...hello, really, Xinsang..."
Yukio Toyota's mind kept turning around, recalling the series of cocktail parties he attended at home and abroad, as well as the series of Nissan ghostwriters he met at the cocktail party. It seems that he has no impression of this Sato Mano. It seems that this guy is a naive face.
However, after thinking about it, I felt relieved. As the three musketeers of the Japanese automobile industry, Nissan has always been the third behind Toyota and Honda, which means they rank third all year round.
In terms of scale, Nissan's scale is much smaller than Toyota and Honda, but when it comes to influence, this company is not bad at all.
Especially the CT-r launched the God of War model CT-r a few years ago, even chose BMW and Mercedes-Benz racing cars, which once won the reputation of the God of War in the Usa. Therefore, the influence of the Nissan brand in Japan is no worse than that of Toyota and Honda.
And more importantly, the company's name is Nissan, so you can literally understand that this company has some state-owned background. Although it is now a joint-stock company, the shadow of the country behind this company is always looming.
So although this car company has the smallest scale and business capabilities among the top three Japanese companies, Yukio Toyota dared not ignore him at all.
"Zhengsang, I called me so late, I don't know what's wrong?"
"Haha, that's right. Recently, I have also seen Toyota and Honda, among our three major Japanese brands, seem to have suffered a lot of difficulties in the Chinese market. Nissan will also enter the Chinese market in a large scale this year. The anti-Japanese trend in the Chinese auto market is very bad, so I think the representatives of our three companies should sit down and talk together, and discuss it to see if we can recruit a suitable solution to perfectly resolve this crisis?"
