The people from the Shanghai Auto Show Organizing Committee may have gone back and looked at the contract carefully this time. After careful consideration, they found that the problem was very serious.
Not to mention anything else, the compensation alone would be enough to bankrupt them.
There are more than 400 manufacturers of various kinds participating in this exhibition, and the value of renting booths ranges from two million to one million.
Even if we calculate based on the highest rental fee of 2 million, this money is only more than 800 million yuan, which is not even enough for one-third of the compensation.
Also, even after the compensation is paid, they still have to occupy the central position. The contract clearly states that regardless of domestic or foreign booths, Nanwan Auto's booth must be in the most central position.
The right of interpretation is in their hands. Wherever they say the center is, that is the center, and they ignore domestic and foreign choices.
Who made the final decision to sign this contract?
This issue was not discussed in depth, and the person who made the final decision was sitting in the middle, scratching his head.
The people from the auto show organizing committee discussed it over and over again and finally had no choice but to compromise.
If a lawsuit really comes to light, they will be the losers in the end even if they drag it out through the auto show.
Therefore, when the auto show opened on June 18th, Nanwan Motors' booth was still in the center of the show, flanked by Shanghai Volkswagen and Shanghai GM.
When Wan Feng learned that the booths were allocated in this way, he curled his lips. The people in the organizing committee still have no brains. Since they couldn't get the central position, they shouldn't set up booths on both sides of Nanwan Automobile, one on the left and one on the right, or just set up one.
You have set up these two on both sides of the Nanwan Bus Station. Aren’t you just being a loser?
You have to be a supporting role even if you don't have to.
Shangqi Volkswagen has three models: the ever-changing Santana, the newly launched Passat and Polo.
Shangqi General Motors has two models: Buick and Sail.
There are five cars in total.
Nanwan Auto and the consortium exhibited more than ten models in total, crushing them in terms of quantity, but their sales were no less than Shangqi's. Although they have been operating for a long time and have a great influence, they really have no advantage over Nanwan Auto in terms of sales.
So, if you don’t play supporting role on the left and right of Nanwan Automobile, who will you let be the supporting role?
Let Nanwan be your supporting role?
Nanwan has no intention of being a supporting role. Since it has decided to participate in the exhibition in a high-profile manner this time, it will be completely high-profile. Almost all the billboards in prominent positions outside the exhibition hall have been taken up by Nanwan.
Isn’t it just a matter of money!
Nanwan has prepared a budget of 20 million for this auto show, and all necessary arrangements have been made.
On June 18th, the 9th Shanghai Auto Show finally opened.
Because China will officially join the WTO this winter, car companies that have already entered, are preparing to enter, or want to enter have all taken this Shanghai Auto Show as an opportunity to showcase themselves. The three European, American and Asian giants, Volkswagen, General Motors, and Toyota, will naturally not be missing, and Audi, Citroën, Honda, Ford, and Suzuki are no exception. Together with the domestic car companies represented by the three major and four small domestic companies, the Shanghai Auto Show has become extremely prosperous.
There were no large LED screens at that time, not even TV walls, only background walls.
Even so, all the major car dealers at the exhibition tried their best to make their booths look extremely gorgeous.
Some use the sea as the background, some use the desert as the background, some use the rainforest and snow-capped mountains as the background, and some use beautiful women as the background wall. They all want to use the environment to highlight the characteristics of their own cars.
The background of Nanwan Auto is the starry sky, and its name is Looking Forward to the Starry Sky.
With the help of four walls, ceiling and floor, and slides, he turned his booth into a universe and starry sky.
The ceiling depicts the distant universe, dotted with stars. The main wall in front is a blue planet, and in the distance is a shrinking sun.
The entire booth gives people a dreamy feeling of being in the universe.
Just like the psychedelic background, the exhibits displayed by Nanwan Auto at this auto show are also psychedelic enough.
Nanwan Auto's booth is semicircular, with a semicircular booth on the front and left and right sides of the entire booth.
The front booth displays various cars, the left booth displays various motorcycles produced in Xiwan, and the right booth displays parts such as engines and gearboxes.
The auto show at that time was a bit like a mixed bag, with everything concentrated in one booth.
In the center of the vehicle booth in front is the new Great Wall that Nanwan Group is about to release, equipped with the latest inline six-cylinder engine named Baofeng.
Other people's engines use English letters as engine models, but Nanwan Group has now abandoned this practice and started using Chinese names as model names.
The new Great Wall Storm engine, dual-clutch automatic transmission, and rotary suspension, from the inside to the outside of the car, have zero imported parts, and all of them are configurations for which Nanwan Group has independent intellectual property rights.
As for its appearance, there is no need to elaborate. It adopts the appearance of the previous generation 2005 Audi A6. Even the most picky people will not be able to explain why.
On the left and right sides of Great Wall are the gasoline and diesel versions of the Peak SUV. The diesel version of the Peak is also a new model and is expected to be released next year.
The biggest change of this new SUV compared to the previous peak is four-wheel drive. It would be a pity not to have four-wheel drive with such powerful power as the Tsunami engine.
These two models were exhibited at our Nanwan factory.
To the left of the Nanwan factory are Guangwan Automobile's Meirui and the soon-to-be-launched Hongtu concept car based on the seventh-generation Accord.
To the left of the Guangwan Factory is Chengnan Automobile. The models they exhibited were the Rainbow and the transplanted Hurricane.
To the right of the Nanwan factory is Tiannan Automobile, which exhibits the transplanted Xiongfeng and the listed Xiali Langtao.
To the right of Tiannan are the cars from Xiwan.
There are slightly more cars on display in Xiwan, ranging from the Panda micro to the pickup truck and the Qingfeng compact, a total of three models.
Nanwan Auto's booth displayed a total of twelve models of various sizes, with prices ranging from the new Great Wall model at 246,800 yuan all the way down to the Panda at 38,000 yuan, covering almost all price ranges of mid-to-low-end cars.
There is always one that suits you.
The booth on the left is the motorcycle booth, where all the motorcycles produced in Xiwan in recent years are displayed.
Now that Nanwan has turned to the research and development of electric vehicles, the only fuel motorcycle left is a 125CC one, and the rest of the motorcycle technology has been transferred to Xiwan.
This time Xiwan was the winner. He gave full play to his imagination and created some strange and bizarre things.
There were actually more than a dozen motorcycles on display at the booth, ranging from 90CC to 125CC.
There is also a three-wheeled vehicle with an engine horsepower of 150CC.
This is an engine that was tinkered with by Xiwan’s technicians themselves. I don’t know whether it meets all the requirements.
Judging from Zhang Shiqian's personality, he would probably show it off when it was only 80% cooked.
What bothered Wan Feng the most was that Xiwan had actually built a sports car with an intimidating appearance. It looked very majestic, but when you looked at the engine: 125CC.
Wan Feng is so tired. Is it necessary for you to make a 125CC sports car as big as 250CC?
Are you sure this car isn't just going to get dusted on the racetrack?
