Chapter 408: Jumping the beam clown
"It seems that you look down on my Chery?" Lu Heng squinted his eyes and rubbed it carefully with his fingers.
"Who are you"
The man wanted to speak, but was instantly interrupted by Mr. You, who scolded: "You Ming, apologize to Zhao Gen quickly."
After hearing this, the man who was called You Ming by Mr. You straightened his nose, turned it up, and frowned: "It's just the facts, and who is this kid? Why is he interrupting when we are talking?
?”
Lu Heng smiled, and Zhao Gen next to him also laughed.
"This is what I said before, my current boss, Lu Heng, Mr. Lu." Zhao Gen raised his hand and introduced.
Mr. You made a soft sound of surprise and looked at Lu Heng with his eyes, as if he couldn't believe that the very capable, self-made man that Zhao Gen mentioned earlier could actually be such a young man.
Too young, as young as the person Zhao Gen mentioned earlier was another person.
"You are a rich second generation. In the United States, people of your age spend their time in books and social activities. Probably only in China can parents hand over their property to their children without any scruples!" You Ming said with a look on his face.
He said arrogantly, seeming to be particularly proud of the kind of independent education he learned abroad that did not rely on his parents.
Lu Heng found it a bit funny. This man's character and temper may be a bit strange.
You Ming continued: "I'm just like this. I'm sorry, but I really don't like your Chery. It should be said that I don't like all domestic independent brands. The workmanship
It’s shoddy, uncreative, and has numerous flaws.”
Lu Heng said with a smile: "Oh, so, then the Mazda you represent is very high-end?"
Speaking of his own brand, You Ming raised his chest and said proudly: "If nothing else, at least he has all the advantages that Japanese cars should have. Compared with your car that sells for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, the cost is negligible. Really.
Well, I don’t know how far it is.”
"Then why did I hear that Mazda recalled a large number of cars last year?" Lu Heng said, shaking his head.
You Ming's face tightened and he explained: "Recall is a normal thing. It represents the sincerity of the manufacturer. If there is any mistake, it must be corrected. This is an action taken by international brands."
Lu Heng curled his lips and continued to shake his head, "But it seems that on March 15 this year, many people complained about Mazda cars. It would be fine if it was a minor problem, but the complaint was about the airbag. The passenger airbags of many new cars fail in collisions.
, what is released is not a soft airbag, but hard metal fragments, which may even catch fire under high temperature conditions. Is this what you said? At least our Chery Automobile airbags can be used when customers are most in danger.
When needed, provide the safest protection.”
"Nonsense!" You Ming shouted with a pale face.
However, Lu Heng knew that what he said was true. Mazda's recalls are now only small-scale recalls and may not be reported in newspapers.
But in 2012 or 2013, more than 32,000 cars were recalled in China alone. Such a terrifying number really caused an uproar. Compared with Volkswagen's transmission recall, it is not weak at all.
At that time, Volkswagen recalled 38,000 vehicles, setting the largest recall incident in mainland China, while Mazda's recall of 32,000 vehicles was covered up. But others did not know that Lu Heng, who was in this industry, was a Qing Dynasty official.
Clearly.
Maybe when Mazda's Chuangchi Blue Sky technology comes out in the future, it will gain a good reputation, but that will be many years away.
At least until now, as a famous Japanese car, Mazda is not as famous as Toyota, Honda, and Nissan.
Lu Heng just looked at You Ming with a smile and didn't argue. Instead, he just looked at him with a serious smile.
At this moment, You Ming wished there was a crack in the ground so that he could get in.
Just now, he was saying that domestically produced cars have many minor problems. Lu Heng did not explain, but directly pointed out the problems that Mazda has recently highlighted.
If the airbag fails, everyone can know the extent of this problem.
A small problem only affects the comfort of use, but the airbag is related to the safety of the passengers. Which of the two is more important can be known at a glance.
Perhaps seeing that You Ming, who had something to do with him, was choked and speechless by Lu Heng's few words, Mr. You couldn't bear it anymore and spoke to save him: "Mr. Lu, I didn't expect Zhao Gen's new boss to be like this.
young and promising."
After praising you first, Mr. You continued: "But we all know about cars in the industry. No matter what kind of car there is, there will be more or less defects. You can't expect a thing to be perfect, right?"
Hearing that Mr. You supported him, You Ming also said quickly: "Yes, Mr. You is right, you should find me a car without any problems! Besides, no matter how good our car is, just from the pricing point of view
Say, Mazda will crush your Chery several times over."
"Pricing?" Lu Heng sneered.
With a sarcastic tone, Lu Heng sneered: "Then in the eyes of people who represent Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Ferrari and Lamborghini, what does your Mazda mean? A garbage truck?"
"You!" You Ming pointed at Lu Heng with trembling fingers, but no words came out of his mouth.
Lu Heng was too lazy to talk to this clown. He turned to Mr. You and said, "In business, the car sales industry never looks at the brand, but at the profit. I have something to say about You Ming, who has the same surname as you.
I'd like to give you some advice, but he might not listen to me. Maybe you can give me some advice. The situation in China is different from that abroad, so don't be too showy when dealing with others, and be more steady, otherwise you won't know how you will fall when the time comes!
"
Being taught by a young man who is more than ten years younger than yourself to be quiet in things is probably the most irritating thing.
"Forget it, today is Brother Zhao's son's full-moon wine. It's boring to argue. Seeing that you are just passing by by chance, then please leave without a cloud. It's best to walk more slowly!" Lu Heng said lightly.
Mr. You's eyes wandered to Zhao Gen, and he found that Zhao Gen was looking at her with eyes full of seeing off guests.
This means you are no longer welcome.
Mr. You sighed, shook his head and left the banquet hall. You Ming looked at Lu Heng unwillingly and shook his hand before leaving.
"Brother Zhao, this is a red envelope for the baby, please accept it. Well, I saw the store in the Expo today. The decoration of the Hyundai 4S store has been decided, and the follow-up matters will be left to you!"
Mr. You and the other three people who had not yet walked out of the door clearly heard these words, and their bodies were all shaken.
Zhao Gen looked at Lu Heng in astonishment, holding a red envelope thicker than the previous one, and asked in shock: "Let me do it?"
Lu Heng said matter-of-factly: "It must be you. I think you will have to find someone to take over your job at Chery. I won't worry if Hyundai is missing you."
Mr. You paused for a moment, then left the banquet hall in a relaxed manner.
You Ming lowered his head and hurried out as if running away.
Previously, it was said that Zhao Gen was just the general manager of a domestically produced car, but now he became the person in charge of a joint venture brand in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, compared to Mazda, Beijing Hyundai, whose sales have been rising steadily in recent years and models are constantly being launched, has even greater brand awareness.
After they all left, Zhao Gen seemed to be relieved, looked at Lu Heng and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Lu, were you kidding just now?"
Lu Heng raised his head, not looking at the person who was writing his name with a brush on the red book, but smiled at Zhao Gen: "What do you think?"

ps: Before I knew it, my book had already passed the million-word mark, and I realized it today. It was also today that I discovered that I had written the first million-word novel in my life, with no interruptions, no eunuchs, and even
The book is finished now, so how can it be possible to finish it now?
Generally speaking, I am a little excited and a little calm. I have a very contradictory mentality. I am excited for this achievement, but I also take it for granted that I have exceeded one million words without knowing it, so I am naturally calm.
I still remember that when it was about 700,000 words, Kavin felt like he was dying, which was probably the most common problem for novices. Most newcomers would finish the book in a hurry when it was about 700,000 or 800,000 words. Fortunately, I had some time to read it.
With your encouragement and support, I persevered.
My dear readers, thank you so much for accompanying me on this journey.
Of course, this journey is not over yet, and I ask you to continue with me.
After the Qingming Festival, the spring breeze is strong, let us ride our horses and whips together and see hundreds of flowers.
(Huh, dedicated to my eighteen-year-old self!) (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
