#352 - ridicule
"Mr. Hilton Fas, both the Faster SV and the Audi R8 are equipped with V10 engines!"
"Why does the Audi R8 only need 3.3 seconds for 0-100 km/h acceleration, while your company's Faster SV needs 3.9 seconds!"
"Moreover, your company's Faster SV is more expensive than the Audi R8. Does that mean the longer the 0-100 km/h acceleration time, the more expensive the supercar is?"
Look at the idiotic questions these Great Xia country media reporters are asking.
Right now, Hilton Fas's face is turning white with anger because of these reporters.
This is our Faster press conference, yet you keep mentioning Audi cars to me.
And how am I supposed to answer the questions you're asking!
Hilton Fas knows about Audi, because in the Great Xia car market, Audi has forced Benma, Baolai, Autuo, and other car companies to abandon their high profits and lower prices.
This shows how formidable Audi is.
But that's all it is, because in Hilton Fas's mind, luxury car brands and supercar brands are two different concepts.
What brand is Faster? What brand is Audi!
Faster is one of the top brands in the supercar field!
With English royal blood, founded in 1908, it has a history of hundreds of years.
And Audi? It's just a Great Xia car brand that has risen in the past two years. Moreover, as far as Hilton Fas knows, Audi used to be a auto parts factory.
A car company that manufactures auto parts for others, after achieving a little success, actually wants to enter the supercar field.
And they want to compete with top supercar brands like us. Isn't this a joke?
What made Hilton Fas even angrier was another reporter's question!
"Mr. Hilton Fas, if your Faster SV were to compete against Audi's Audi R8, do you think your Faster SV would win?"
When Hilton Fas heard this reporter's question, he wanted to kick the reporter a few times.
The question made it sound like their Faster SV couldn't beat the Audi R8.
English people are inherently arrogant, and in their minds, they value bloodlines the most.
For example, Audi is just a nouveau riche in Hilton Fas's eyes. After achieving a little success, they want to challenge them and even dream of becoming nobles.
Isn't that just a dream!
At that moment, Hilton Fas decided to retort. He has been working at Faster for so many years and has retorted against many competitors.
Whether it was German competitors, Italian competitors, or even French competitors, he has harshly retorted against them all.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have heard of Audi cars in England!"
"I have to admit that Audi is a very powerful company and has established a luxury brand image in a short few years!"
"But what I want to say is that supercars and luxury brands are two different concepts. I don't think Audi has the strength in the sports car field to compare with Faster, which has a history of hundreds of years!"
"It's like a nouveau riche wanting to compete with a noble with a deep foundation. It's ridiculous!"
As soon as Hilton Fas finished speaking, the reporters present all had a glint in their eyes.
Everyone present understood what Hilton Fas meant.
That is, in his eyes, Audi cannot be compared with Faster at all.
He even described Audi as a nouveau riche, while Faster is a noble aristocrat.
This is big news!
The reporters on the scene couldn't help but sigh. The old rogue is still an old rogue. The arrogant English people are still so straightforward and leave no room for maneuver.
Hilton Fas's remarks not only severely stepped on Audi, but also gave Faster SV a lot of attention.
After all, in this age of network information, the speed of dissemination is very fast.
In less than an hour, Hilton Fas's remarks were written into a temporary news article by the reporters on the scene and published on major media platforms.
《Shocking, the noble gentleman from England actually said such a thing on the spot!》
《Arrogant Faster President actually insulted Audi on the spot!》
《This English aristocrat, over seventy years old, actually compared Audi to this!》
《Faster's head, Hilton Fas, made wild remarks, actually mocking the Great Xia national enterprise Audi in the Great Xia country!》
These reporters were desperate for clicks and racked their brains for traffic, writing whatever titles could attract people.
But the effect was obvious. Many onlookers clicked in after seeing it, but were furious after seeing the content.
"Damn, this old rogue looks down on our domestic cars!"
"Who gave you the confidence to have such a sense of superiority!"
"Faster, bah, because of this sentence, I will never buy your car in my life!"
"Upstairs brother, it's as if you can afford it!"
… …
After the Faster press conference ended, Hilton Fas's remarks quickly spread throughout the Great Xia country's network and were well-known by many people.
Especially Hilton Fas's remarks that Audi seemed to be a nouveau riche, while Faster was a noble gentleman.
Hilton Fas's sarcastic and discriminatory words angered many onlookers.
Although many onlookers cannot afford such expensive sports cars, this does not affect their spiritual support for their country's first supercar.
So, for a time, Hilton Fas, the head of Faster, this little old man who had just arrived in Great Xia country for a few days, was labeled with the most unwelcome tag by netizens.
"The first time I saw this little old man, I knew he was definitely not a good person!"
"This little old man also calls himself an English aristocrat, what a disgrace to the English aristocracy!"
"Quickly bring out my 40-meter broadsword, I want to kill his arrogance!"
Although many netizens were angry about Hilton Fas's words, most of them are not mindless trolls or keyboard patriots.
When Lu Haifeng, who was in Piao City, learned that the head of Faster publicly bombarded Audi R8 in front of the media, he just smiled casually and didn't care.
Because the essence that Lu Haifeng saw was different from what those onlookers saw.
Because the people from Dongche.com were also at the scene at the time. After the press conference, Du Chengnan had already sent the interview video to Lu Haifeng, with every detail included.
After sending the video, Du Chengnan also reminded Lu Haifeng: "President Lu, I think these reporters obviously received black money and are deliberately provoking trouble!"
