The Shanghai Auto Show is the first auto show held in China. It is held every two years and this year is the ninth one.
This year's Shanghai Auto Show has been promoted to a B-class auto show, just one step away from the highest A-class.
In 2001, there were five major A-class auto shows in the world, namely: the North American International Auto Show, the Paris Motor Show in France, the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland, the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany, and the Tokyo Motor Show in Japan.
The Shanghai Auto Show will be added in the future.
The location of each car dealer at the auto show is crucial. The central area will naturally attract a lot of attention, while the peripheral areas will be for spectators to chat.
Tan Sheng was still capable of working. Although it took some effort, he managed to rent a 3,000 square meter exhibition area in the central area.
This is due to the contribution of Huaguang Electronics.
If we only mention Nanwan Auto, the Shanghai Auto Show Organizing Committee doesn’t even know it.
It is true that people in Shanghai look down on people outside the Shanghai area and treat them like dirt. Nanwan Motors is a fairly large enterprise in China, but they didn't even know about it.
I don’t know if they have lost their sight when organizing a car show, they only care about foreigners.
You can’t get a good booth spot at a car show just because you have money. Internationally renowned companies will naturally be favored by the organizing committee, and the best spots are usually reserved for these companies.
Of course, the fact that foreign companies can afford the money is also one of the reasons.
Who do you think you are, Nanwan?
You think you're great just because you have money? Even having money doesn't mean anything.
When Tan Sheng saw that the Nanwan brand alone was not effective in Shanghai, he immediately contacted Huaguang Electronics.
Nanwan’s signboard is not working, and Huaguang Electronics’ signboard is not working either?
Now Huaguang Electronics is one of the three pillar industries in Shanghai.
Volkswagen, Baoneng Steel and Huaguang Electronics.
So far, Huaguang Electronics has accepted more than 20,000 laid-off workers from the semiconductor industry in Shanghai, and is no worse than Volkswagen and Baoneng Steel in generating profits and taxes.
Of course, it has a profound influence in Shanghai.
Although the auto show is about cars and has little to do with semiconductors, Huaguang Electronics still has to sell its favor to the Shanghai Municipal Government.
I've helped you solve employment problems for so many laid-off workers, and you won't even help with this little favor?
In this way, Nanwan Automobile got the best position in the exhibition area.
It was also Chen Wenxin who signed the contract and signed a very strange contract with the organizing committee.
The contract was signed years ago, and the organizing committee did not notice that some of the clauses in the contract were very strange.
This year's Shanghai Auto Show attracted more than 400 exhibitors from 20 countries and regions.
Including Chinese and foreign automobile manufacturers such as DaimlerChrysler, Shanghai Volkswagen, Shanghai GM, Changqi Volkswagen, Peugeot, Skoda, Beijing Jeep, Xingkete Automobile, Hyundai Kia, Southeast Motor, Shenyang Jinbei, Dongfeng, Yuejin, Changan, and Fengshen Automobile.
They will all showcase their latest products at this exhibition.
Commercial vehicles were also on display.
Internationally renowned commercial vehicle manufacturers and parts suppliers will gather together, including Mercedes-Benz, MAN, Sunwin, Tatra, Xi'an Xiwo, Volvo Trucks, Shaanxi Sida, Northern Bus, Tianjin Irizar and many other manufacturers.
Of course, domestic Changan Automobile and Second Automobile Works are also indispensable.
Nanwan Heavy Truck will also participate in the commercial vehicle exhibition, but it did not pay much attention to it. It brought a newly launched heavy-duty truck, a light truck launched last year, and a large dump truck with a 350-horsepower engine.
Overall, I didn’t take the Shanghai Auto Show seriously.
At this kind of auto show, people's attention is mainly focused on cars. Who would have the time to look at trucks?
The reason why Wanfeng wants a 3,000-square-meter exhibition booth is naturally not for Nanwan Group’s own use.
There are only two models left in Nanwan now, the Peak SUV and the Great Wall, plus the pickup trucks and Pandas that are still being produced by the Inna River branch, so they don’t take up much space at all.
Moreover, the pickup trucks and Pandas from South Bay will not appear here this time.
In addition to Nanwan Microvan's vehicles, several joint units including Guangwan Automobile, Xiwan Automobile, Chengnan Automobile and Tiannan Automobile are also on display at this booth.
In addition to the vehicle display, there are other things that need to be displayed, such as the engine, gearbox, chassis, suspension, etc.
Hengren Power will also join in the fun at the exhibition, and they will display two engine models, NW478A and NW478B, at their booth.
The cars on display in Xiwan this time include the Panda Pickup and the Breeze Deluxe Edition, which is why the Panda and pickup in Nanwan will not appear here.
It doesn’t matter who’s selling it, they’re all Panda and Nanwan Pickup brands, and the effect will be the same no matter which brand is more famous.
Zhang Shiqian was secretly happy that he was willing to come to Wanfeng, as this would save Nanwan a lot of trouble.
In addition to the Meirui, Guangwan also exhibited a new version of the concept car, which the people of Guangwan named: Hongtu.
This car is actually an improved version of the Accord, which is the seventh-generation Accord launched by GAC in 2003.
In this life, Wan Feng developed it two years ahead of schedule. Compared to Honda, whose car had not yet been completed, the people at Honda would be so angry that they would bang their heads against the wall when they saw this car.
When it comes to car manufacturing, Wan Feng's current motto is to build other people's car models so that they can't build their own.
Guangwan’s goal is to expand Meirui’s influence across the country and at the same time warm up for its grand plan.
Hongtu's listing date is November at the end of the year.
In addition to the rainbow, the only thing that Chengnan Automobile brought was the Hurricane II that was moved to Chengnan.
The power configuration of the second-generation Hurricane is almost the same as that of the first-generation Hurricane, except that the appearance of the car has been slightly changed in a few small places and the configuration inside the car has changed.
Next is Tiannan, which also brought two models: Xiali Langtao and Xiongfeng transferred from Nanwan.
The Hurricane in Chengnan was at least modified, but the lazy guys in Tiannan didn’t even modify the Xiongfeng and directly brought the original car from Nanwan.
They even argued: "Why modify such a mature and stable model? Can't we just sell it directly?"
You see, this is the thinking of people who drive joint venture cars.
This kind of thinking is widespread!
Tiannan Auto people need to think more. Nanwan is not cooperating with you to indulge your bad habits. You must have your own innovative ability.
If you are not capable of making major changes, you can start with small changes like Chengnan Automobile did!
Compared with Nanwan, Guangwan, Chengnan and Tiannan, which all brought two models to the exhibition, Zhang Shiqian was much more lively.
He was like a refugee fleeing from war, carrying all the little assets he had from Xiwan in his hands, with things hanging on his chest and behind his back.
Panda, pickup truck, Qingfeng and two motorcycles.
When Wan Feng saw the motorcycle, he slapped his forehead. There are motorcycles in Nanwan too. How could he forget that motorcycles can also be exhibited at auto shows!
There are two electric motorcycles in Nanwan that should be displayed to expand their influence.
It's a pity that my careless boss forgot about it.
This kind of miscalculation must be blamed on someone so as not to affect the boss's image as a wise and powerful person in Nanwan Group.
The first person to take the blame is of course Zhou Liming.
