#369 - Hurt each other

Lu Haifeng, sitting in his office, was truly impressed by the profound understanding of the Great Xia Kingdom's culture displayed in Volkswagen's remarks!

Toyota and Honda attempted to use the concept of 'substituting beams and pillars' to push European and American car companies into the eye of the storm, but Volkswagen retaliated with a 'tooth for a tooth'.

They directly guided the public opinion back towards Japanese car companies.

And they directly refocused the attention of Great Xia Kingdom netizens on Honda, the unlucky one.

However, consumers in the Great Xia Kingdom are not fools anymore, and many have seen through the tricks.

Japanese car companies are diverting public attention, while European car companies are muddying the waters and have no intention of implementing EU technical quality standards in the Great Xia Kingdom.

So, as far as netizens are concerned, neither of them are good!

"The car market has been lively these past few days!"

"Indeed! The Honda Civic's axle broke, and various car companies took the opportunity to step on Honda's corpse to rise to the top, a practice known as 'whipping the corpse!'"

"Then Toyota took the opportunity to announce that it would implement EU technical quality standards in the Great Xia Kingdom, creating a lot of buzz!"

"Seeing this situation, Honda also decided to implement EU technical quality standards in order to restore its image!"

"Although Japanese car companies want to drag European and American car companies down with them, and there is suspicion of diverting consumers' attention, it is definitely a good thing for us consumers!"

"After all, the EU's technical quality standards are much stricter than those of our Great Xia Kingdom!"

"But this Volkswagen is very annoying, muddying the waters!"

"Volkswagen's intention is very clear: it is impossible for them to increase costs and implement EU technical quality standards in the Great Xia Kingdom!"

"I'm not criticizing Volkswagen, but Volkswagen earns so much money in the Great Xia Kingdom every year, and they secretly cut corners, which is really disgusting!"

"Disgusting Volkswagen!"

Volkswagen's remarks attempted to confuse the concept and planned to redirect public attention to Japanese cars again.

But their plan did not succeed because consumers' impression of Volkswagen is not what it used to be.

Now, netizens are full of sarcasm towards Volkswagen's attempt to confuse the public and their refusal to implement EU technical quality standards in the Great Xia Kingdom.

They believe that Volkswagen is fooling Great Xia Kingdom consumers.

Junko Toyota also saw Volkswagen's media conference as soon as possible!

"Hmph, it wasn't easy to attract the attention of Great Xia Kingdom consumers to you car companies!"

"You want to throw it back now? You must be dreaming!"

Junko Toyota's purpose is very simple: no matter what means she uses, she must divert consumers' attention away from Japanese cars so that she has time to complete the upgrading of all Toyota models.

So, she doesn't care whether Volkswagen will implement EU technical quality standards in the Great Xia Kingdom. All she wants is a window of time.

After thinking for a while, Junko Toyota picked up the phone and instructed in Japanese: "Immediately find me all the quality scandals that Volkswagen has had in the Great Xia Kingdom!"

"Then you use these things to divert consumers' attention. This matter must be done discreetly, and no one can know that we are manipulating this matter behind the scenes. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Miss Junko, please rest assured, your subordinate will definitely complete this task!"

"Hmm…"

After hanging up the phone, Junko Toyota revealed a smug smile!

"I really should thank Feng-jun for giving Junko such a bad idea, hee hee…"

"When I go to Piao City in a while, I'll bring Feng-jun some gifts!"

Thinking of Lu Haifeng, Junko Toyota was very happy. If it weren't for him giving her this bad idea!

Junko Toyota couldn't have thought of such a way to divert consumers' attention.

Junko Toyota's plan was very successful. That night, many scandals that Volkswagen and European car companies had in the past appeared on the Internet.

Such as broken axles, reduced configurations, the use of black-hearted cotton, and other quality problems.

Furthermore, Junko Toyota also created a false impression, which was to set a trap for these European and American car companies, leaving them a little bit of a tail so that they would think that people from Honda were causing trouble behind the scenes.

Because Junko Toyota knew that the people in charge of these car companies would definitely investigate who was stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

In less than a day after the end of the Volkswagen press conference, all the scandals that had happened to them in the past and had been covered up by their public relations capabilities were now being exposed!

There are many things that the Great Xia Kingdom's onlookers know, but there are also many that they have never heard of.

For example, Volkswagen had several vehicle spontaneous combustion incidents a few years ago, and there was even one person who suddenly caught fire while driving, and was burned to death before he could even escape.

This matter was suppressed by their powerful public relations capabilities at the time.

Unexpectedly, it has now been dug up by others, and they have even found the driving recorder of another car, which recorded the time of the accident.

This is just one thing. There are many other things that netizens don't know, or that have been suppressed by their public relations capabilities, that are now being exposed one by one.

"Volkswagen, is this what you mean by building the safest car!"

"I think it's building the safest public relations department!"

Now that these historical scandals of Volkswagen have been exposed on the Internet, many consumers or netizens have realized that Volkswagen has also had so many quality problems in the Great Xia Kingdom.

"Damn, it turns out Volkswagen has also had so many quality problems!"

"I was also shocked. If it hadn't been exposed this time, who would have known that Volkswagen also has so much dark history!"

"This is enough to show how powerful Volkswagen's public relations capabilities were in the past!"

The exposure of these dark histories of Volkswagen on the Internet has set off an unprecedented wave of accusations and curses.

This matter quickly attracted the attention of Volkswagen, and Josef, the head of Volkswagen's Great Xia region, knew without even thinking that Japanese car companies were causing trouble.

Josef angrily ordered people to deal with the matter immediately, and it took a huge price to suppress these matters.

Of course, he couldn't swallow this breath. Although there is no evidence yet, he knows with his toes that Japanese car companies are causing them trouble.

Josef angrily cursed: "Go and find out who is causing trouble for me behind the scenes!"

Soon the investigators returned, because they found Honda based on the clues.

"Good, good, good, Honda, is it!"

"Since you want to play, then let's hurt each other."

After confirming the real culprit behind the scenes, Josef also guessed Honda's intention.

That is to make Volkswagen or other European car companies the target of public criticism, so that the netizens or consumers of the Great Xia Kingdom will no longer pay attention to the Honda Civic broken axle incident.

"Hmph, collect all of Honda's scandals for me, and then guide them secretly. We must retaliate tooth for tooth!"
