In the past two days, Longteng Auto's reputation has once again resounded throughout China, and thanks to Chen Dong's efforts, it has also created a certain trend abroad.
However, its reputation isn't very good.
While in Yanjing, Chen Dongyuan gradually felt the impact of the trend started by Pengcheng and Longteng Automobile.
The most obvious impact was that Mr. Lin would often call him to discuss matters related to Longteng Auto's upcoming car test exhibition.
Old Lin didn't expect that Chen Dong would choose a method that combined elimination and attack.
As Chen Dong previously stated, this is a major move. It's not just a response to criticism, but also a strategic move to plan for the future.
"Your plan has truly stirred up a storm, involving not only domestic companies but also many foreign companies."
Old Lin nodded with satisfaction.
Old Lin was very pleased that Chen Dong had come up with this idea and made such a big move.
What he valued most was the fearless spirit of Chen Dong and his team.
Chen Dong's confidence in all of this stems from his belief in the quality of Longteng automobiles.
Finally, their conversation focused on how to leverage Longteng Auto and make the most of its current reputation.
Even at Old Lin's birthday banquet, he dragged Chen Dong along, insisting on discussing related issues with him again.
As for the painting "Longevity Peach" by Qi Baishi that he gave to Mr. Lin, and the "fairness cup" that he specially selected to symbolize "fairness," Mr. Lin liked them and praised him highly.
But that's all.
Chen Dong even said to Lin Lao with some amusement, "You've turned this birthday banquet into an academic seminar."
The bearded old man next to Lin Lao, Wang Lao, held a teacup, sipped his tea, and said with a smile, "This academic seminar is well organized; at least the food and drinks are quite good."
The other old friends also burst into laughter.
As expected of people from the military, they all have loud voices.
Chen Dong felt that if his voice were a little softer, he could be completely ignored.
It was through these ongoing discussions that Chen Dong gained more information about car testing, which gave him a deeper understanding of the relevant subjects and technical requirements.
Having been exposed to the automotive industry in his previous life, he also knew a lot about it.
At this moment, inspired by the conversation between Elder Lin, Elder Wang, and others, I immediately had many new ideas.
For example, if the current car test exhibition in Shenzhen is successful, similar events can be held in the future.
Relying on Longteng Auto and the numerous auto parts suppliers that will soon emerge, especially with the continuously developing domestic automobile production and consumption market, the Shenzhen Auto Test Exhibition could even develop into a comprehensive event.
Old Lin laughed and said, "You're thinking so far ahead, kid? Longteng Auto really wants to become a leading automobile company in China."
Chen Dong looked unconvinced. "Domestic leadership is nothing. International leadership is not out of the question."
"Ha, you're really getting cocky when I say you're fat," Old Wang teased.
"You all are being a bit conservative on this point. I'm not just making this up. I have absolute confidence in our country's reform and opening up, and its economic development. I believe that in the next few decades, China will become the world's largest automobile producer and seller. In such a great era, if we don't achieve something, who will we be letting down?"
Hearing Chen Dong say this, Old Lin, Old Wang, and the other elderly people were all somewhat surprised.
This kid has so much confidence in the development of China?
They were even more confident than these staunch patriots and revolutionaries.
Of course, they didn't know that Chen Dong had witnessed China's economic boom in later generations, with its total economic output ranking first in the world, leaving all the old developed countries far behind.
This is just a small step in China's development. There is still much potential to be tapped within the country, whether in terms of business development models, development level, technology, or social concepts. There are still many areas for improvement.
Of course, China is still subject to the control of others in many aspects, and this is not just an economic issue.
This is also the significance of Chen Dong's rebirth in this world. He will have the opportunity and ability to make up for some of the shortcomings, avoid many pitfalls in economic and social development, and make the national system healthier and function better.
"However, before thinking so far ahead, we should focus on doing well in the present. Right now, you're under a lot of pressure!"
Old Lin's words made everyone in the room look serious.
There are too many negative reviews.
Although they believed in Longteng Auto's capabilities, they also knew that the gap was still significant.
It's not just a gap in actual strength, but also a lack of confidence among Chinese people in national brands.
And when making comparisons, they compare newly launched domestic products with mature foreign products, which is not the correct way to make comparisons.
Those who took a more extreme stance were the "ship-buying faction."
Many of them, in order to achieve their goals, even resort to making outrageous statements and fabricating stories out of thin air, which makes it difficult for them to accept.
Old Lin looked at Chen Dong, his concern evident in his words.
"Mr. Lin, please rest assured, as I told you before, we are now fully prepared. Please wait and see, in just over twenty days, the car test and related competitions will bring a huge surprise to the world and shock everyone."
Lin Lao and the others were willing to believe Chen Dong's words, but reality was what it was, or rather, they had experienced too many unexpected events and too much suffering. If things didn't come to a conclusion, they would never be able to feel at ease.
"By the way, if you're interested, you can go to Shenzhen yourself and see for yourself, to witness this miracle firsthand," Chen Dong suddenly thought of this and said to Old Lin.
Such an important event cannot demonstrate its great advantages without a heavyweight figure to preside over it.
Mr. Lin's interest in Longteng Auto is so great, and he is the real driving force behind it. If he can go there, it will be a great thing for him, Longteng Auto, and Shenzhen.
Upon hearing Chen Dong's words, Old Lin was visibly taken aback. His eyes widened suddenly, and a smile bloomed on his face as he expressed great interest. "Alright, then I'll go take a look!"
After saying that, he looked at Old Wang and the others and said, "Why don't you go and take a look too?"
Originally, Wang Lao and the others were already interested in Chen Dong's proposal to Lin Lao, and now, with Lin Lao's encouragement, they all felt a strong desire to follow it.
"Shall we go take a look?"
"Great! I haven't had a proper look around the Special Economic Zone yet!"
Old Lin said to Chen Dong, "Kid, don't let us down."
Chen Dong said firmly, "Please rest assured, leaders, we will definitely not let you down. When Longteng Auto competes with other car companies, they will truly witness the power of Longteng Auto."
And so, the matter was settled.
Twenty-odd days passed quickly, and soon it was time for the opening of the first Longteng (Pengcheng) Automotive Test Exhibition.
