Chapter 642 The Malfunctioning Pajero
Europe, Fallon.
There are huge veins of copper mines here, producing shiny red copper. This red copper is used to cover the roofs, which is a feature of many European buildings.
Now, the use of this kind of red copper is gradually decreasing, but the mining area is still producing, and many wealthy people have also been produced.
Latif, the owner of one of the copper mines, drove his beloved Pajero on the winding road in the mountains. There was a beautiful woman sitting in his passenger seat.
"Doris, we need to stay in the mining area tonight. Would you like to be in the car or in the office in the mining area?" Latif talked to the woman while driving.
“Yuck, I don’t like being in dirty places unless…”
"Then let's stay in the car. We can drive the car to the garage, and then..." As he spoke, he touched the woman's thigh. There was a smile on the woman's face: "Okay, this car is spacious enough. If you like it, then...be careful, there is a curve ahead!"
"I know, I've... **** it!" Latif cursed: "The brakes are gone!"
His feet were already unconsciously pressing the brakes to the bottom, but it was of no use, and the speed of the car continued to increase!
Latif felt his heart pounding. He held the steering wheel tightly with both hands and turned it violently.
Doris screamed in surprise. She clearly felt that the car was drifting and flying behind her.
"Don't shout! Damn it, I really wish I was driving a manual transmission car. The brakes on the Scania I drove failed, so I successfully controlled the speed by grabbing gears. Now, I just able…"
Latif is a truck driver. He used to drive a large Scania truck. He ran a Mercedes here and also experienced brake failure. Therefore, he is not afraid. Screaming and fear will only make people lose their minds! He has to think of other ways!
Handbrake?
Of course not. At this speed, the handbrake will lock the rear wheels, and the car will be completely out of control. He can only choose...
Latif gritted his teeth and continued to turn the steering wheel, so the car rushed towards the side of the cliff next to the road.
Doris screamed again: "Ah, danger, I don't want to die!"
“This is the only way. Do I have to open the door and use the soles of my shoes to brake?”
The side of the car rubbed against the cliff, making an ear-splitting sound and even sparks. However, the speed of the car gradually slowed down!
After the car slowed down, Latif started to pull the handbrake. Once he pulled it, he would loosen it, and then he would pull it again. Every time he pulled it, the car would shudder. After more than twenty pulls, the car finally stopped.
Latif took a deep breath, knowing that he had finally saved his life.
“Come on down, I’ll go take a look at the back.” As someone who had experienced brake failure, Latif was a little scared at this time, but he didn’t want to just wait. He had to see what was going on.
Is someone trying to murder himself?
He walked to the corner where the brakes first failed. Just as he thought, there was an oil stain on the ground. That was after the brake oil pipe burst and the brake fluid inside flowed out.
Brake fluid is the medium through which braking force is transmitted. Without brake fluid, of course it would be impossible for the car to stop.
At this time, Latif had already begun to have some doubts. If someone had deliberately done something wrong, the brakes should have leaked just after driving out. They definitely didn't leak now!
How is this going?
Latif walked back and looked at this 30 Pajero V31 off-road vehicle that he had just bought a few months ago. As a former driver, he owned many cars, sedans, and sports cars. However, when he came to inspect the mine, He prefers to drive off-road vehicles.
This kind of professional off-road vehicle was developed by Sanzero Company in 1982. It was originally a three-door version and was originally thought to be very niche. However, with its outstanding off-road performance, especially the super-selected four-wheel drive system, It has been recognized by many people. Even in Europe, which loves hatchbacks, Pajero has many die-hard fans.
The V31 version in front of us was a new model in 1997.
Latif lowered his head and looked under the car. Soon, he found the oil leakage area, and then looked at another area that was polished and shiny.
That thing is a sensor, seemingly called a load-sensing valve. It is a certain distance from the brake oil pipe. It is said that there will be no friction. But now, seeing that it is polished and shiny, it can only be caused by it.
How is this going?
"Honey, what happened?" Doris waited for a long time, and finally dared to come down tremblingly and asked Latif about the situation.
“I don’t know, we need to tow the car back and have it professionally inspected.”
At this moment, a Golf roared over and stopped behind his car.
“Excuse me, did the brakes of your car fail? What accident happened? By the way, let me introduce, I am a reporter from the newspaper.”
“Yes, the brakes failed. If you don’t go see my woman, I can give you the exclusive report.”
Soon, the design flaws of the San0 Pajero off-road vehicle began to spread in Europe.
Under normal circumstances, the brake oil pipe will not rub against the load-sensing valve. However, if there are people in the car and the road is bumpy, the load-sensing valve will sink and deviate from its original position, causing friction. , over time, it will cause serious wear of the rear axle brake oil pipe. When braking suddenly, the oil pipe bursts, the brake fluid leaks, and the brakes completely fail.
This is a serious safety hazard!
When the design flaws were exposed, San0 Motors responded immediately. They went to Latif's home in person, made a ninety-degree bow, compensated for a new car, and promised to target all Pajeros in the European market. V31, V33 and other models were recalled to modify the brake pipes to avoid this problem.
This incident seemed very serious, but under the sincere handling of 30, it was quickly and properly resolved without causing any big disturbance.
East, the capital.
"Taozi, your arrangement seems useless! Even serious defects like the brake oil pipe have been easily resolved." Wu Shengli said with a smile: "Your plan did not come true."
Qin Tao smiled: "Dad, this is just the beginning."
“Start? What are you going to do next?”
"Next, of course, we need to let the people across the country see clearly the true face of 30. They have recalled all vehicles in Europe. However, there are so many 30 Pajeros in our country, and they just ignore them? Especially, our army Chuuya is equipped with a lot of equipment!"
Wu Shengli reacted: "They actually treat him differently?"
"They regard our country as a product dumping market. Even if we are their largest market, they will not care about this market." Qin Tao said: "Their attitude is very arrogant. Just wait and see. By the way. , has Zhang Zhong talked about the program? Open it and take a look."
On the TV, Zhang Zhong has already begun to explain: "Currently, in the European market, the San0 Pajero off-road vehicle has been recalled, but in our country, there is still no movement. At present, we have done some statistics. In Europe After the incident, domestic 30 car owners drove their cars into repair stations for inspection. In Yunnan alone, more than 300 Pajeros were found to have problems. I am here to appeal to all 30 car owners to take care of themselves. Check your car and don’t blindly trust the quality of the island’s cars. After all, this is not an ordinary issue, it is a major issue related to life safety.”
“Hmph, this is jealousy! I originally thought Zhang Zhong was an upright person, but I didn’t expect that he actually accepted money from the Mingzhou Group and was maliciously smearing 30 Automobile!”
Hearing the voice from the radio, Pan Han muttered something.
Pan Han was one of the first people to get rich. Now he runs a mine, has many assets, and uses foreign goods for food. He will never believe what Zhang Zhong said.
"The quality of domestically produced cars is so poor that they are simply unaffordable. If you want to talk about these cars, you still have to buy foreign ones, especially those from island countries. They will not break down after being driven for decades. The first batch of Pajeros in our country were for the army. It was in the 1980s, when I was only a teenager, and I often sneaked into a Pajero in the compound to play. At that time, I was thinking that I would also buy a Pajero in the future!"
The person in the passenger seat is his business partner. Hearing what he said, he also nodded: "Yes, the quality of imported goods is still good. The island country's technology is constantly improving, so how could they make such a low-level mistake as brake failure?"
The night was dark, and the car's headlights gave off a dim light, illuminating the curved mountain road ahead. When he turned the curve in front, he saw a swath of brake lights.
There’s another traffic jam!
He applied the brake skillfully, but it seemed like there was no response? His foot hit the bottom, but the brake still didn't respond!
“Slow down, slow down quickly, we’re about to hit you!” the person next to me shouted loudly.
“The brakes failed!”
At this time, Zhang Zhong’s analysis was still coming from the radio.
"There is a reason why the islanders ignore the domestic market so much. Many of our laws and regulations are lagging behind, and there is currently no special management method for car recalls. Of course, the most important thing is the arrogance of foreigners and the blind confrontation with some domestic people. The worship of foreign products…”
咣!
The car hit the rear of a large truck hard. Fortunately, the Pajero was relatively tall. During the impact, the front of the truck had already hit the cargo box. If it were a car, the front of the car would have gotten in and escaped unscathed. The people in the cockpit were just right. It hit the rear of the cargo box and there was no chance of survival.
Pan Han felt his body fly forward. At this time, a thought came to his blank mind: It would be much better if he wore a seat belt!
咣!
Then, he didn't know anything anymore. When he woke up again, he couldn't move, and his surroundings were blurry.
“Me, am I still alive?” An indistinct voice came from his mouth.
"Well, you're not dead yet, not dead." A woman's cry came from the side.
At the door, a large number of reporters could not wait: "Can we go in for an interview? This is the first victim of Pajero brake failure!"
“No, no, the patient needs to rest! Oops!”
The person blocking the door was pushed away, and a large group of reporters rushed in. The cameras in their hands were flashing. Pan Han felt that he was about to faint again.
There is only one thought in my mind: I must file a lawsuit and let San0 Automobile compensate for my losses, at least three million!
In the north, the capital is already covered in ice and snow.
"Come on, Lao Zhang, eat!" Qin Tao put a plate of mutton into the soup pot: "In this winter, hot pot is the most comfortable."
It was very warm in the private room, and the charcoal-burning copper pot in the center was constantly steaming and bubbling, and the mutton was tumbling in it.
Zhang Zhong had a smile on his face: "Mr. Qin, you have many things to do every day. It is really rare to have a hot pot meal with you."
"Well, there are a lot of things to be busy with every day." Qin Tao said: "I have wanted to get together with you for a long time. The book "Unrestricted Warfare" is well written. You are now a global celebrity, and your social activities are also Quite a few, right?”
"Well, they are all friends in the media. Mr. Qin, please don't worry. I know their intentions. They just want to get some information when they approach me. I usually eat with them and the information I reveal is all planned. .”
“Well, Lao Zhang, what you said is partly true and partly false. Now, it is rumored that we have a specialized department in the country called the Strategic Deception Bureau, and you are the director of this bureau.”
“Well, there are these claims, Mr. Qin, why don’t I just call myself the director of the War and Ignorance Bureau. It’s better to deceive people if it’s true or false.”
The two of them were eating and talking. Finally, the topic turned to the latest hot topic.
“Now, a vicious incident involving a Pajero malfunction has occurred in our country. Mr. Qin, should we continue to follow up on this matter?”
“This matter will definitely receive a lot of media coverage, so we don’t need to get involved. What we have to do is to gather enough energy and then strike a fatal blow to shatter the myth created by the island country.”
"The myth is shattered? Mr. Qin, the aura of manufacturing in island countries has always existed. In our country, many people travel abroad just to buy foreign products." Zhang Zhong said: "They are very firm and think that foreign products are better than our Chinese products." The goods are good.”
"It's good." Qin Tao said: "Take San0 as an example. The fraud has been going on for more than a day or two. I have a document here. You can take it and investigate it. When necessary, publish it to the public. Hmm, those Do you guys think a bow is the end?”
“Fake?”
Zhang Zhong took the document handed over by Qin Tao, opened it, and was immediately shocked.
San0 has a dark history of counterfeiting. For example, DIAMET, a subsidiary of San0 Comprehensive Materials Company, has been engaging in counterfeiting since around 1977. Since the next order exceeds their production capacity, even if a certain batch of products fails, they will directly tamper with the data and continue to use it for customers.
30 Electromechanical has problems with the motors and transformers it manufactures, especially the transformers. They modify the data to meet the requirements before they meet the requirements, and then use them for customers. Among their customers, there are also a large number of nuclear power plants. This type of transformer fraud has been going on since 1982. The year has begun!
If these things are revealed, they can really expose the myth created by the island country!
The only thing that needs to be done is to verify it in advance and look for evidence. Otherwise, it will be regarded as slander by the islanders. In particular, it would be better if the person who modified the data at that time could be found.
Zhang Zhong sighed for a while. 30 Heavy Industry was blind and actually provoked Mr. Qin. Now, Mr. Qin’s revenge has come, the kind of revenge that will directly send them to hell!
“Mr. Qin, our program has always been in the military field. Now it has suddenly changed. Will there be any problems?” Zhang Zhong continued to ask Qin Tao.
"Why has it changed? In your first episode of 30, didn't you already reveal that 30 is an arms giant? Now that you are reporting on 30, isn't it still in the military field?"
Zhang Zhong nodded: "Yes, Mr. Qin, you are right!"
After taking another bite of meat, Zhang Zhong continued: "Mr. Qin, over the years, San0's sales in our country have been increasing. Many people admire San Zero. Now, if San Zero is destroyed, then what will happen if San Zero is destroyed?" How to fill the market vacuum?”
"What's the point?" Qin Tao said: "Sanzero Motor is very famous. After their motor fraud is confirmed, our Golden Sun Motor Company can expand its market share and enter the elevator and other fields. Sanzero's Pajero, for sure It is going to withdraw from our market. Even if the state does not take action, as long as consumers do not buy it, it will be fine. San0 has supplied several of our private enterprises with automobile engines. These private enterprises also have to develop their own engines and cannot always use backward island domestic products. .”
Qin Tao has already had these plans.
Now, the domestic automobile industry is developing rapidly, and private enterprises have begun to emerge. In the initial stage, they lacked suitable engines and almost all relied on San0's 4G series engines. Now, they should work hard and quickly complete the mapping and imitation. Just do the research and development yourself.
In short, this huge domestic market will be closed to Sanzhi!
Zhang Zhong nodded: "Mr. Qin, you are right. Without Butcher Zhang, we still don't eat pigs with hair on them? Our domestic products should strengthen ourselves!"
At this moment, Zhang Zhong's cell phone rang, and he was about to hang up subconsciously. Qin Tao said: "It's okay. Just answer it when you need to. Don't delay your work."
Zhang Zhong answered the phone, and after he finished speaking, with a smile on his face: "Mr. Qin, there are two things. First, San0 Automobile has stated that they will not recall domestically produced cars in China. The wear and tear of Pajero is It’s caused by poor road conditions in our country and has nothing to do with their design.”
In the European market, San0 Auto performed very quickly and immediately apologized and recalled the car. However, in China, they were arrogant and refused to admit that there was a problem with the car, and would carry out double standards to the end.
“They will pay for their arrogance, what else?”
“The second thing is that Pan Han, who was injured in the brake failure accident, has submitted a complaint to the court, demanding that San0 Automobile apologize and compensate for the Pajero’s brake failure problem!”
“Zhang Zhong, do you know what the key here is?” Qin Tao asked.
“Mr. Qin, please give me some advice.”
"Brake failure is a big problem. If they did what they did in Europe, they would have apologized and compensated. However, they have adopted double standards. Europe does one thing and we China do another. They are arrogant and arrogant. Relying on our market for a living, but looking down on us, this is the most fatal thing.”
Zhang Zhong's eyes lit up: "That's right, Mr. Qin, don't worry, it won't be long before people all over the country know about their arrogance and arrogance!"
Zhang Zhong has already made up his mind. Next, 30 will be unable to move forward in the country. Dare to offend Mr. Qin? Let them know what will happen!
The domestic automobile market is developing rapidly. All major automobile companies have seen the market in the East, and it is time for 30 Automobile to withdraw from the domestic market!
“Mr. Qin, our J-31A has completed carrier testing. It should be a good opportunity to publicize it. Why don’t you plan to publicize it?” Zhang Zhong was very curious about this.
“This aircraft is our flagship product. There must be no accidents. It must be thoroughly developed and matured and delivered to customers now. If something goes wrong in the hands of customers, wouldn’t it affect our reputation?”
Zhang Zhong nodded: "I understand. Next, we need to keep a low profile and wait for it to soar into the sky in the future."
After finishing the meal, Qin Tao looked at his watch. It was time to pick up his son. Go pick him up!
At the school gate, Qin Haiyang saw Qin Tao and said with excitement: "Dad, why are you here?"
“Come to take you home, let’s go, get in the car, tell me, what did you learn in school today?”
“Learn to write an essay today.”
“Writing a composition? What topic?” Is there such a volume? This big kid started writing essays?
"my dad."
“Really? Then how did you write it?”
“I write about my imaginary father, who picks me up from school every day and tells me stories before going to bed every day…”
“Okay, tonight, I’ll tell you a story!”
“Humph, I don’t believe it. You are always so busy. Maybe a phone call will send you away again.”
“Okay, let’s turn off dad’s phone today so no one can hear it, okay?”
“Hook!”
Qin Tao turned off the phone and went with his son. This kind of time was too precious and could not be ruined by others.
In the distant island country, a group of people are turning their attention to Qin Tao.
"The recent series of incidents are inseparable from Mr. Qin of the Mingzhou Group! Yamamoto-kun has committed suicide to apologize, but he is still not satisfied. What on earth does he want to do?" A dignified old man said.
Unlike other groups, San0 is a loose group composed of many independent companies. The core of which is San0 Kinyokai, also known as Friday Club, literally translated as Friday Club. There are 28 clubs in total. If you want To put it into detail, there are about 500 large and small companies, and a hundred of them do not have the word 30 in their names. At the same time, there are also some with the 30 brand name, but they do not belong to this loose group, such as San0 Pencil Co., Ltd. has some Li Kui and Li Gui meanings.
To toss in the meeting now, of course, are all members of the Friday Club. The old man talking is the helmsman of 30, Iwasaki Konosuke.
PS: "From Arms Dealer to King of Military Industry" is also a military-industrial novel. It starts out the same as ours, playing around with old Maozi's equipment. If you like it, you can read it.
