Chapter 75 F150 is launched

"Mr. Cao, according to data released by the American Automobile Dealers Association, Toyota's sales fell by 30% month-on-month last week, and the decline is likely to increase."

"It seems that the impact of this 'brake door' on them is much greater than imagined."

Zeng Tingting has been eating melon with great interest these days.

She is also one of the participants in Toyota's "brake door".

Having personally seen the "brake door" that shocked the entire United States from planning to implementation to the current situation, she has a rather complicated mood.

"Toyota has developed too fast in recent years, and many competitors have strong opinions on them."

"Now if someone catches me by the pigtails, I will definitely do it to death."

"Look, let alone the past week or two, even in the past few months, Toyota's sales have declined significantly."

"It won't be possible to fully recover to the previous sales volume within a year or so."

Since Toyota Motor is having trouble with Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., Cao Yang will not be polite in any way.

Anyway, it was American giants such as Ford Motors that took the knife, and it had nothing to do with him.

"Ford's purchasing department has contacted me. From now on, 80% of nut plates can be purchased from Nanshan."

"As for wheel bolts, they also agreed to use all our products on the F150."

"In the future, it will continue to expand to more than 50%. Even in terms of wheel bearings, they also agreed to let us send a batch of samples for testing."

“I’m so happy to receive this order this time.”

Zeng Tingting was so excited that she almost danced.

"Switching to our wheel bolts on the F150, it seems that we are really going to make a lot of money."

Cao Yang was in a very good mood after receiving such great benefits with just a raise of his hand.

Ford's F150 will be officially launched tonight, and Cao Yang is full of confidence in it.

This is a model that can sell 700,000 to 800,000 units a year, making it a top seller in the American car industry.

"Mr. Cao, are you so confident in the F150?"

"After all, this is just a pickup truck."

"Ford positions it as just a utility vehicle, right?"

Zeng Tingting felt that Cao Yang was too optimistic.

Although many consumers in the American automobile market like pickup trucks, there are also many consumers who like economy cars such as Accord and Civic.

"The F150 has comfortable configurations found only in many luxury cars, and is equipped with a traditional American large-displacement V8 engine, which makes its off-road performance very strong. This pickup truck can even be seen in many professional off-road rallies."

"Its sales will definitely exceed your imagination."

"After the new model is launched, it will definitely become Ford's best-selling model, no one else."

Cao Yang's explanation seemed a bit weak to Zeng Tingting.

However, as it was almost time to leave for the F150 launch event, she didn't argue any further.

…

"Cao, I'm so happy to see you again."

In Joe Louis Stadium, Ford Motor Sales VP Melgen immediately gave Cao Yang a warm hug after seeing him.

Melgen knows better than anyone the changes in public opinion in the American auto market during this period.

Whoever gets the credit, he is clear from Yemen.

Otherwise, how could he be so enthusiastic about Cao Yang?

"Mergen, it seems you are in a good mood."

"I'll see your wonderful introduction later."

Cao Yang stood there and chatted with Mergen for a while.

Originally, Ford Motor Company invited him here to hype up the concept of the story between China's talented designers and the F150.

This will allow everyone to focus less on the "Firestone Tire Door".

But now that Toyota's "brake door" has diverted public opinion's attention, the pressure on Ford has been immediately released.

Now hyping up the topic of Chinese talented designers is equivalent to diverting public pressure from Toyota Motor.

That's capitalizing on the enemy.

Ford certainly doesn't want to do this.

So today Cao Yang came here just for fun.

Of course, Ford did not neglect this hero.

Purchasing Director Chris's seat is arranged next to Cao Yang.

It can be considered that Melgen is interesting enough.

As for what cooperation plan Cao Yang will use this opportunity to reach with Chris, that is not Melgen's concern.

…

"Edward, I heard that Ford Motor Company's F150 received more than 3,000 orders on the first day it was launched."

"Had I known that, we would have sped up and launched it before the F150."

In a cafe inside General Motors, Purchasing Director Austin and Design Director Edward each held a cup of coffee and chatted while drinking.

During this time, Cao Yang also came to visit General Motors, and Austin got a good understanding of some of the stories.

"Our Chevrolet silverado and Ford F150 are both designed by Huaxia Cao. From my perspective, both models are very classic."

"But their styles are not exactly the same, so even if the F150 is launched for a month or two first, it will not affect the sales of our silverado."

Edward actually felt a little regretful in his heart, but he definitely couldn't admit it now.

After all, their silverado will be launched later than the F150, which is mainly the responsibility of the design center.

"That's not necessarily the case."

“During this period, Toyota’s ‘brake door’ has caused many consumers to refocus their attention on American companies.”

"If we seize this opportunity, our sales will definitely achieve a huge growth."

As the purchasing director, Austin naturally hopes to sell as many cars as possible for the company.

In this way, the purchasing department can better negotiate price reductions with suppliers.

"There is some truth to this."

"But overall, this is a good thing for us."

Edward showed a trace of regret on his face, and then said: "It seems that we can consider asking the sales department to put out the advertisements as soon as possible, so as not to let the F150 family dominate."

"At that time, we can even promote it and say that the appearance of the silverado and F150 are both from the same designer."

"We can also take advantage of the Ford car."

Ford was once the automobile leader. In 1914, with the classic Model T, it completely changed the world's automobile landscape.

Even the introduction of the assembly line production method has brought the world's industrial production model to a higher level.

Later, General Motors knocked Ford off the number one spot.

In this way, the relationship between the two parties is naturally quite special.

If it weren't for the common enemy Toyota, they might not be able to work together this time.

"Ford didn't make good use of the Huaxia Cao card. We can put it to good use when the time comes."

Edward was convinced of Austin's proposal.
