Indeed, it has been a long time since they have seen anyone dare to confront foreigners head-on.
What we often see is domestic companies fawning over foreign products.
People expressed their opinions and urged others to come up with the timeline, eager to see that scene unfold.
Many reporters also showed disdain.
They believe that even if Longteng Auto participates in the crash test, it is still rubbish compared to other cars and will only be crushed.
Although some people believe that Chinese cars can't be too bad, they won't say it out loud, nor do they believe that this miracle happened to Longteng Auto.
It has to be said that these people have been criticizing Longteng Auto for too long, and their grievances have become deeply ingrained. They are no longer willing to look at Longteng Auto objectively.
Meanwhile, Old Lin and his group were somewhat worried about what Factory Director Zhao had said.
They are well aware of the quality of steel produced in China.
The output of conventional products is increasing and the quality is acceptable, but the quality and output of special steel are both poor.
Automobiles have even higher requirements for the quality of steel, and many parts must use special steels, such as boron steel, to ensure their hardness.
Old Lin was unaware of the specifics of the steel used by Longteng.
However, they must have their own solution.
On stage, Director Zhao continued to share his ideas.
"What you really want to see is the effect of the collision experiment. So, we'll demonstrate that effect. As for the specifics of how we'll demonstrate it, please forgive me for keeping it a secret for now."
Upon hearing this, discontent arose from the crowd.
Factory Director Zhao ignored their complaints.
"Of course, a simple collision cannot directly demonstrate the performance and condition of our product. Therefore, it would be best to test it with other cars to create a comparative effect."
In fact, there is another purpose to do this, which is to let ordinary people and consumers see the quality of Longteng cars through this special approach, so as to support domestic brands.
He had enough confidence in the quality of the cars produced by his factory to be comparable to, or even surpass, foreign cars.
Then, Director Zhao addressed the exhibitors:
"Dear exhibitors, I hope someone will step forward and conduct this experiment with your cars. Through this method, let the people of China see the quality of your cars and witness the strength of your products."
Director Zhao's words were relayed by the translators to the exhibitors they were responsible for.
However, when the foreign exhibitors heard the translator explain Director Zhao's requirements, they all frowned, their minds racing as they weighed whether to participate in the experiment.
Some people were interested, and Schultz was one of them.
He immediately thought that he could have Volkswagen cars from Shanghai participate in the competition.
Even if we lose, it won't affect the Hans Kingdom headquarters.
Moreover, this is a competition between two car companies within China.
He believed in the quality of his company's cars.
As far as he knew, Longteng used Japanese automotive technology.
As is well known, cars from island nations are known for their lightness, but are slightly less safe.
Needless to say, it is produced domestically in China and has only just begun production. In terms of technology, personnel, management, and processes, it is bound to be inferior to the original manufacturer.
Their cars, made in Hans, are renowned for their safety and are the result of advanced technology.
He believed that if the two sides met, their Hans country would be guaranteed to win.
Thinking of this, Schultz stood up abruptly, smiled, gave a slight bow, and said in a rather gentlemanly manner:
"Our Shanghai Volkswagen representative, Hans, will participate in this competition!"
Factory Director Zhao said loudly, "Okay, thank you! Welcome!"
A gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd.
"The Hans country, I've heard their cars can collide with tanks!"
"No way, tanks are so tough!"
"Haha, Long Teng is going to make a fool of himself. He's already provoked such a big monster right from the start."
Indeed, to many people, cars from Han countries are monsters, beasts.
Old Lin frowned when he saw this.
Although it was clear that Director Zhao's proposal hadn't fallen through and someone had taken on his burden, Longteng still faced considerable pressure in competing with Hans.
But then he thought about it again and felt relieved. It was a good thing!
Everyone knows that Hans is strong, so even if Longteng loses, they have nothing to fear.
Instead, they earned a reputation for not being afraid of strong enemies.
The real problem is if we can't even beat a small, unknown factory; that would be a real problem.
"I don't know what Xiao Zhao and Chen Dong are thinking!" Old Wang said worriedly.
As he spoke, he slapped his thigh hard, making a loud "smack" sound.
No wonder he acted this way.
Longteng Auto has been around for less than a year, while many foreign car manufacturers have been around for decades or even centuries.
The differences between them are significant, so the resulting differences in the cars produced will also be particularly large.
In this situation, how else can we make comparisons?
Even if a product is qualified, it may still be crushed in comparative tests.
That would be a losing proposition!
Of course, Mr. Wang did not take into account the variable of the advantage of being a latecomer.
The experience, talent accumulation, technology, and management experience of the older generation are certainly valuable and represent their greatest wealth.
Newcomers can also learn from others' strengths, adopt better technologies, and utilize more advanced tools and management concepts to catch up with established manufacturers.
Upon hearing what Elder Wang said, Elder Lin couldn't help but show a worried expression on his face.
