Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

Cao Yang did not explain to everyone how he planned to attack General Motors and Ford.

This made the ministers very curious.

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the editor of Yahoo Auto Channel, Jenny, received a rather special email a few days ago.

It was revealed that Toyota and a designer from Huaxia were discussing the exterior design of a pickup truck, and the contributor also attached the front of the car.

Although the Yahoo Auto channel will receive some spy photos from time to time, and the reading volume of this kind of news is relatively high, most of those spy photos are photos of various car companies in the trial production and testing stages of new models.

And the shots are often not necessarily particularly clear.

It is relatively rare that the scheme was exposed during the early design and the drawings were directly provided like this.

Under normal circumstances, Jenny will publish an article after a little editing based on the submission information.

But Jenny, who has been in the automobile industry for more than ten years, is keenly aware of the amazing appearance of this pickup truck.

The United States is the world's largest auto market, and consumers here prefer pickup trucks.

This is completely different from other markets.

In future generations, even if China's auto market becomes the number one in the world, pickup trucks will not be able to make it to the table.

But in the United States, the top sellers must have pickups, or even more than one.

Realized the amazingness of this pickup, and what was exposed was the cooperation content between Toyota Motor and Huaxia Designer, and even the contact information of Huaxia Designer.

Jenny immediately planned to write an article and report it as the headline of the car channel.

After all, Toyota is now the biggest rival of American auto giants such as GM and Ford.

Jenny believes that this article will definitely become the most read existence on the Auto Channel this month.

In this way, after two days of deliberation and revision, Jenny's article appeared in the eyes of netizens.

"Edward, why haven't you come to the company today?"

In a large villa in the suburbs of Detroit, the sleepy Edward had just pressed his Motorola A6188 when he heard a familiar voice urging him.

"Austin, I'm a designer. I need to find inspiration every night. Isn't it normal to get up late and go to the company late?"

In 2000, General Motors was relatively prosperous.

Although many hidden dangers behind it can already be seen, at least the company's profits are still increasing steadily.

Edward, the design director, naturally doesn't have that much work pressure.

"Sit! You will die on a woman's belly sooner or later, turn on the computer and watch the news on Yahoo!"

Austin knew Edward all too well.

As the Purchasing Director of General Motors, there is a lot of work to communicate with the Design Director, and the two have a good personal relationship, so the two can be considered good friends.

Obviously, Austin discovered something related to Edward.

"Why? Could it be that Yahoo's stock has fallen?"

"Edward, I don't have time to joke with you now. If this matter is not handled well, it will be more troublesome than Yahoo's stock falling."

Both Austin and Edward bought Yahoo shares, and now that Austin said that, Edward finally got serious.

"Wait a minute, I'll go check it out right away."

Edward, who was lazily lying on the bed with one hand holding the ball, got up immediately and quickly turned on his computer.

In 1999, the penetration rate of computers in China was still relatively low.

But in the United States, it has begun to enter thousands of households.

Soon, Edward entered Yahoo and saw the top news on the car channel.

"Damn it! What do these Orientals want to do? They have already caused us so much trouble with low-fuel consumption cars, do they still want to compete with us in the pickup truck market?"

Edward knew what was going on without Austin explaining anything.

"Judging from the sketches exposed by Yahoo, the exterior design of this pickup truck is very amazing. Coupled with Toyota's low fuel consumption, low cost and good quality, we will be in big trouble by then."

Austin's words made Edward feel deeply.

Since the 1980s, Dongying's automobiles have conquered cities in the United States and seized a lot of markets.

Toyota's Corolla and Camry, Honda's Accord and Civic are all leaders in their respective market segments, defeating GM and Ford.

If it weren't for the people in the United States who have a soft spot for large-displacement cars, it is estimated that the crisis of General Motors will break out now, and the financial crisis will not wait.

"Austin, is there any way for you to get in touch with Yahoo Motors? I think it is necessary to meet with the other party and see how to win this cooperation from Toyota."

As a designer, Edward can feel the surprise of the sketches exposed so far more than anyone else.

He is sure that if the designs of other parts are as amazing as those exposed, then this pickup will become a classic.

Today, Toyota's pickup trucks are still inferior to the old giants such as Ford and General Motors in the United States. If the other party owns such a pickup truck, then things will be really big.

At that time, the pressure on Edward, the design director, will definitely be huge.

"Our sales team cooperates with Yahoo Auto Channel, and we will definitely be able to find the editor of this article, but I think you need to move faster."

"After all, if you could think of stealing this cooperation project from Toyota, wouldn't Ford, Chrysler and Dodge not think of it?"

"Besides, will Toyota wait there after reading this article?"

When Austin said this, Edward immediately became nervous.

He knew that the time left for him was running out.

At the same time, Mays, Ford's design director, was already reporting his proposal to CEO Nasser.

At this time, Ford Motor still has capital to be proud of.

In 1999, Ford had $22 billion in cash.

From 1997 to 2000, Ford's profit reached a staggering $39 billion.

Volvo, Land Rover, Aston Martin and Jaguar are all owned by Ford now.

Because of this, Ford Motor wants to follow suit, pull General Motors down and become a big brother in the global auto industry.

"Mace, you really didn't draw this sketch?"

Nasser can become the CEO of Ford Motor, and now he has a very good vision.

He could tell at a glance that the model in front of him was very promising.

But what Metz reported to him made him a little confused.

"Nasser, I really hope this is my achievement, but the fact is regrettable." Metz spread his hands and continued: "Now we should focus on how to obtain a complete model appearance, how to make this car a Ford new car."
