TSL Headquarters.
John Wayne looked at the latest report with a serious expression on his face.
As an ambitious model, TSLPallwy’s sales in China are currently declining. The good momentum at the time of its launch was immediately wiped out with the launch of several models equipped with Zhengxin Benben.
In this battle, John Wayne felt that he had lost unfairly.
My competitors did not even launch competing models. Instead, they only used a piece of software to easily resolve the wave of offensives that they had carefully prepared. This gave him the feeling of throwing out a punch, but stepping on a banana peel and dodging to his waist.
What made him feel even more uncomfortable was the pressure from the board of directors.
Including the patent trap that Zhengxin had dug for himself before, he had suffered losses twice at the hands of that **** Li Fanyu. These two losses naturally brought about the slow process of opening up the market in China.
This had an extremely bad impact on the company’s plans. As the planner and leader of these two business actions, John Wayne himself naturally became the target of public criticism and was put on the grill by the board of directors.
Listening to the directors nagging about their mistakes and asking themselves to bear the consequences of failed plans and falling stock prices, John Wayne had no reason to feel envious.
“Perhaps that guy on the other side of the ocean has never experienced anything like this?” he thought.
While he was mentally wandering away, he heard a director say loudly: “John, you are responsible for this whole series of things! Now I propose a show of hands to remove John Wayne from his position as CEO. ! ”
Hearing these words, John Wayne’s whole body became alert.
He did not believe that anyone would make a sudden decision that would cause earth-shaking changes in TSL management. This is definitely a premeditated plan!
He glanced at the speaker intently, “Sith, what do you mean?”
“John, this is not personal. In fact, you are a passionate and charming guy, but under your leadership, the company has lost a lot of opportunities and suffered one blow after another. We need You are responsible for all shareholders, so you can’t just sit back and ignore such things. But from my personal point of view, I think you are no longer suitable to lead the entire company in your current state. So…” The man shrugged. Shoulders, “Please show your hands and vote.”
While John Wayne was stunned, more than half of the directors present raised their right hands after a slight hesitation.
Seeing this result, John Wayne was finally stunned, “Where would you take the company without me?”
“John, you have been trying to gain unbridled power. It’s time to put an end to this. As you can see, we will set up a temporary group to take over your work. If you are willing, we will be on the board of directors. I’ll find a seat for you here.”
Seeing the directors’ expressions of indifference or regret, John Wayne shrugged his shoulders, “God, thank you so much for your generosity and kindness.”
Hearing what he said, everyone thought he would accept it, and their expressions became more complicated for a while.
John Wayne looked at everyone’s faces and smiled contemptuously, “But no, I quit.”
……
Japan, in a house owned by the Toyota family.
Toyoda Akio, the current patriarch of the Toyota family, is wearing a kimono and looking solemnly at a plan, or vision, about Toyota’s business in the near future.
This plan was the work of Chinatsu Toyoda, who was sitting opposite Akio Toyoda.
“Qianxia, I have seen everything you have done in China for more than a year. To be honest, you have done a good job. You are not too young and too radical as the board of directors feared. For I am very pleased that you know how to assess the situation and use our existing resources to achieve your own revenge.”
“Thank you for the compliment!” Toyoda Chinatsu bowed to express her gratitude, but when the head of the Toyota family praised her in person, she did not show any expression of joy on her face.
Toyoda Akio seemed to be used to the indifference of his granddaughter. He pointed at the plan and said, “But Chinatsu, your current plan doesn’t seem to be consistent with your usual calmness. Why do you want to be here?” At this point, we are abandoning the hybrid penetration strategy with great momentum and developing towards pure electric vehicles. You wouldn’t know that our internal combustion engine models have the highest share in the Chinese automobile market.
As for the new energy field, the board of directors has always believed that fuel cell technology is the way to win the future. Hybrid and electric are nothing more than transitional solutions. Since the current sales volume of hybrid models in China is objective, why do we need to increase investment in the development of pure electric fields that are more expensive, difficult to maintain and require heavy investment in infrastructure? ”
Although the Toyota family is the founder and current leader of Toyota, the entire family’s shareholding in Toyota is only 2%. Obviously, Toyoda Chinatsu’s plan was too radical and full of unknown risks, which made Akio Toyoda feel a little inappropriate.
“It’s just taking reality into consideration.”.
Toyoda Chinatsu straightened her slender but seemingly very powerful waist, looked directly at Akio Toyoda and said: “Under your leadership, Toyota has now become an international automobile company. Since we have to choose the path of internationalization route, then the national conditions and social status of each region must be fully taken into account. The fuel cell plan is very good, and I personally believe that it will bring about earth-shaking changes to the Japanese automobile market in the future. But China is not Japan. Toyota does not have the power to influence the political situation and policies. But now China’s new energy vehicles are making great strides towards electric power and pure electric power. In this wave, do we choose to persist or adapt? “
Toyoda Akio nodded thoughtfully, and after a while he tidied up the plan in his hand and placed it on his left hand.
“Chinatsu, you are a good child. Maybe I ignored you before. But now it seems that you are indeed better than your brothers.”
Toyoda Chinatsu still just nodded and did not answer.
Toyoda Akio smiled slightly, “I will propose your plan to the board of directors. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I hope you will continue to work hard in the Chinese market. Although family inheritance requires blood and direct relatives, the Toyota Group I hope you understand this when it comes to hiring people.
After hearing this, Chinatsu Toyoda’s face showed a slight expression.
……
Just after Li Fanyu helped the China Automobile Association complete the formulation of a complete set of high-intensity crash test standards, TSL and Toyota Group released blockbuster bombs almost at the same time;
John Wayne steps down as CEO of TSL, and the company will be taken over by an interim board of directors. The day after the leadership change, TSL announced that it would reorganize the Chinese market and correct some of the company’s current problems in the Chinese region.
Just when everyone thought that John Wayne, the initiator of TSL, was about to withdraw from the electric vehicle stage. However, this guy held a press conference in California, claiming that he would lead TSL’s initial team to build his own electric vehicle brand in an electronics factory in California.
Toyota Group will establish the electric vehicle business department “EVBusinessPlanningDepartment”. The new department will be led by Chinatsu Toyoda, acting president of China, and directly led by President Akio Toyoda. The first thing the EV department did after its establishment was to announce that it would launch three pure electric models that are in the final stages of research and development for the Chinese market.
“The storm is coming!”
As soon as these two pieces of news were released, the domestic automotive media in China sensed this meaning.
