#356 - Apologize
“Sorry for losing my composure just now, it's because I just received an incredible phone call!”
“It was a friend of mine who works at Toyota Group calling, he told me that just today, a large-scale axle breaking incident occurred with the Honda Civic under Honda!”
Everyone in the conference room was stunned when they heard Joseph Engel's words.
Subsequently, several people's gazes converged on Hilton Fass.
The meaning was very clear: did your mouth get blessed?
You just finished cursing their car to have axle breakage, and immediately news came that their car really had axle breakage.
Hilton Fass was also very confused when he heard Joseph's words.
He swore that he was just spouting nonsense out of anger, but he didn't expect it to actually come true.
After the confusion, Hilton Fass was filled with elation.
He was so relieved now; these Honda people were up to no good, plotting behind the scenes. Now their retribution has come!
What made him ecstatic was that he knew how to divert the attention of the Great Xia people.
Hilton Fass pondered for a while, then said to the executives below: "Gentlemen, this large-scale Honda Civic axle breaking incident is a very good opportunity for us!"
"Contact the media immediately; I want to sincerely apologize to Audi Motors in front of the media!"
"And to show my sincerity, I will personally fund the purchase of an Audi R8 to take back to England!"
"Whether we can salvage Faster's image this time depends on whether the Honda Civic axle breaking incident can attract the attention of the Great Xia people!"
"I don't need to say more; everyone knows what to do, right!"
Hilton Fass was very experienced in handling matters; he knew how to get the most benefit.
So, Hilton Fass quickly invited several well-known domestic media outlets, including Auto Home, to hold a special press conference to apologize to Audi Motors.
At the apology press conference, this old rogue from England,
sincerely stated that he had only been momentarily confused by the instigation of some people and had played such a big joke on Audi Motors.
He hoped that Audi Motors could forgive his inappropriate remarks, and he also hoped that consumers in Great Xia could forgive him.
Furthermore, he stated that these were merely his personal remarks and had nothing to do with Faster.
He even ordered an Audi R8 from Audi Motors to express his sincerity.
At the apology press conference, Hilton Fass shamelessly praised the craftsmanship of the Audi R8, saying that it had reached the world's top level.
Therefore, he decided to buy an Audi R8 and take it back to England as his personal vehicle.
Next, Hilton Fass completely transformed into an Audi fanboy, praising and touting Audi Motors in every way possible, exaggerating Audi Motors to the point where it was the only one in the world.
Hilton Fass's brainless bootlicking was so blatant that even the media present couldn't stand it!
"This old man is really shameless!"
"Just a few days ago, he arrogantly called Audi Motors nouveau riche, but now he's praising them so much. Is that appropriate?"
"Do you know what we call such a person in Great Xia?"
"A bootlicker!"
"I have to say, this old man's skin is really thick!"
Hilton Fass's frantic licking at the press conference also resulted in Audi Motors receiving his personal letter of apology and the full deposit for the Audi R8.
"Damn, this old geezer changes his face so quickly!"
"Right! He's the vice president of Faster, can't he have some integrity!"
"Now it's good; he sincerely apologized!"
"The backup plans we prepared are useless!"
"Alas… It's really boring. I thought this old man would have some backbone."
"Unexpectedly, alas…"
When the people in Audi Motors' marketing department received Hilton Fass's apology letter and deposit, they were amused by this shameless old man.
They originally thought that Hilton Fass's arrogant mockery of Audi Motors a few days ago would make him a worthy opponent.
It would have allowed Audi Motors to step on him to rise to the top, just like how Audi Motors used to step on Benma, Bolai, and Alto to rise to the top.
But they didn't expect that this old man would immediately back down after seeing that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction.
Moreover, he transformed into an Audi Motors bootlicker, publicly praising Audi Motors' technology and craftsmanship in front of the media.
So, the marketing department people were amused, and Huang Ming could only report the situation to Lu Haifeng and let the chairman decide what to do.
Lu Haifeng was also speechless when he heard Huang Ming's report. "He has sincerely apologized and even bought our car!"
"Although I know this old man is definitely up to no good and will have backup plans!"
"But we can't be petty with him at this time; otherwise, we'll fall into his trap!"
"But we must pay attention to him at all times. A person as shameless as him will do anything to increase his brand's sales!"
Lu Haifeng had also received the video sent by Du Chengnan of Auto Home.
Lu Haifeng was also very speechless about this shameless old rogue from England. Seeing that he had angered the public and Faster's cars could not be sold,
he used this trick, transforming into a bootlicker. Such a person is the most terrifying.
Therefore, in order to prevent this old man from having any backup plans, Lu Haifeng instructed Huang Ming of the marketing department to pay attention to any news about Faster at all times.
After instructing Huang Ming, Lu Haifeng also received an unexpected phone call.
The call was actually from Toyota Junko. It had been a long time since he had seen her since they parted ways in Yanjing last time. They only occasionally contacted each other on WeChat.
Because Lu Haifeng knew that Toyota Junko had not been in the country recently but had returned to the island nation of Japan.
Because Toyota and Lexus's sales in Great Xia this year had been severely hit, Lu Haifeng guessed that she should have returned to Toyota Japan headquarters to find a solution.
He didn't know what she wanted to do by calling him at this time.
"Feng Jun, Junko apologizes for disturbing you. I'm really sorry!"
Toyota Junko was always so polite, and her voice was also very pleasant, making it difficult for people to feel any ill will towards her.
At first, Lu Haifeng thought she had some purpose in approaching him, but after a long time, he no longer had that idea.
If there was a purpose, it might just be to make friends!
Lu Haifeng seriously asked: "I wonder what Miss Junko needs from me today!"
Toyota Junko said playfully when she heard Lu Haifeng's words: "Calling Feng Jun today is just to tell you!"
"We Toyota have specially updated and upgraded all of our important models, especially Lexus, which has brought even more advanced technology this time!"
"Feng Jun must be careful!"
