Monster Factory-Chapter 715: Tit for tat.

"Did you do any market research before issuing this statement?"

Kong Tao's serious and questioning voice caused a lot of talk in the scene. Eh; what does it mean?

All media immediately turned to the front row, to the representative of the US Department of Commerce.

……

The press conference is a platform for both parties to interact and exchange information. The public can ask the organizers questions, and the organizers can naturally ask them questions.

……

When Kong Tao asked him that question, a staff member trotted over and handed a microphone to Bissell, to the confused sales department representative.

"Does the market study have a direct relationship with the decision taken by our Ministry of Commerce?"

Bissell lost the battle and said in an official voice: "Your Company will launch a remote driving function. Our Ministry of Commerce believes that if this function appears on Shi Lei cars, it cannot appear in the market. Unless your company abandons the plan, or specifically for the US market, is to launch a Shi Lei car that does not have the hardware for remote driving."

"So here's the question," Kong Tao smiled at Bissell: "You haven't done any market research, otherwise why does our Huge Industrial Monster know the market layout of the Shi Lei car?"

"What market layout?"

"It's just a plan to ban exports of Shi Lei cars to the US market, nothing more," Kong Tao filed Time magazine and continued: "You don't have to worry about knowing whether the remote driving function will interfere with the US market, because our Shi Lei car has been programmed from the beginning not to be exported to the US market. So, your country and department, before making a decision, find out about the market first, otherwise, it's easy to make jokes!"

"You don't export to the US market?"

One word caused a huge wave, and media reporters and Commerce Ministry officials looked at each other in amazement. ‘The Huge Industrial Monster is so fierce!'.

"It's easy to find out the authenticity of this, just go to the car sales market and do a search. With the Shi Lei cars so popular, there will naturally be a large number of auto import and export traders who want to introduce this "golden egg" overseas, so the Huge Industrial Monster banned them from exporting to the US market, you can ask them to find out."

Many Chinese media believed in their hearts what Kong Tao said without investigation. Moreover, it is impossible for the dignified Huge Industrial Monster to tell such a lie on such an important and immediately identifiable occasion.

Shi Lei cars are now rare in various cities, and there is no time to sell them in European and American markets. It's so depressing and so arrogant. Many reporters from China applauded vigorously, feeling extremely comfortable and proud for no reason. The photographers also used the lens to record this moment. And have thought in their hearts that when they come back, they have to edit the sentence said just now in close-up.

The European and American markets have always prohibited us from selling our products to them, and unexpectedly, as soon as the Huge Industrial Monster's products were released, they directly prohibited the sales of their products in the American market by default.

Different identities, the natural weight of what the Huge Industrial Monster was saying is different. If an ordinary small business from China tells the media that it is forbidden to sell their products in the United States, it will only make people laugh, because their products are sold in the United States, and American consumers may be unwilling to buy them and for the Shi Lei car it's completely different. There are netizens who have gone to the United States. Right now, Americans are looking at owners of imported cars from China, and they're flirting with smart assistants. They want to buy a Shi Lei car. They will go crazy.

The camera recorded Kong Tao's domineering words, as well as the embarrassed and angry expressions on the faces of several United States representatives, especially Bissell.

Ha ha ~

The representative of the United States will be unable to come to Shanghai this time, and this is another big news. Bissell was indeed a skilled and experienced politician, it only took him about ten seconds to quickly adjust his facial expression and become arrogant again.

"So what is the attitude of the Huge Industrial Monster?" Bissell said calmly: "Whether your company does not plan to sell Shi Lei vehicles in the United States due to certain circumstances, or the United States temporarily bans Shi Lei vehicles for traffic safety reasons."

"It does not change; there may be a huge road safety hazard in Shi Lei cars."

"I implore your company to drop the remote driving project from a life safety perspective," Bissel stopped, retracted erlang's legs, and forced himself to sit up: "This is also the reason why the Ministry of Commerce sent representatives to attend your company's press conference. We look forward to using various channels to inspire your business to make solid progress on the path of technology development, rather than taking risks."

Although most people know the US representative came this time with bad intentions. But Bissell had just said something, and he could quickly come back to the situation and get back on the moral path. You can see this guy was really good at eloquence and had thick skin.

"Excuse me, US Rep, did you see our remote driving system malfunctioning on the street. Or do you have any scientific evidence to back up your 'take a risk' argument?" Kong Tao's tone was slightly mocking: "Our project has yet to be officially unlisted. How do you know it poses a hidden danger to the safety of people in China?"

Bissell spoke for a moment, and then awkwardly touched the person next to him with his foot. He was a politician, and he was not a scientist, so naturally, he was not good at answering such scientific and technical questions. He wanted the young assistants around him to get up and rid him of the embarrassment. Unexpectedly, an American journalist stood up behind him.

"So how can you be sure this system won't be a problem?"

The American journalist spoke more casually; after all, his speech only represented an individual or a certain media, unlike Bissell, who represented the official United States government.

"We speculate based on the existing network transmission technology and system stability. No mobile phone can guarantee there is no "blocking" phenomenon during operation, and no network company dares to guarantee its network will not fail."

"Can your company guarantee it?"

Bissell laughed in his heart, because of his identity he couldn't fight them tit-for-tat, but these reporters weren't scared.

"No," Kong Tao smiled: "I can only guarantee he is much safer than your driving."

"So will your company continue to promote this system?" sniffed the American reporter.

Kong Tao didn't even look at the American reporter and said slowly, "We keep promoting it."

In the quiet media table, the voices of discussion that could be unsuppressed immediately rang out.

"What? What?"

The Huge Industrial Monster had no intention of being soft, and they were obviously morally disadvantaged by it.

"So can I understand your company has made it clear that it will always launch a remote driving system without guaranteeing the absolute reliability of the system?" Another American journalist immediately grabbed the case and launched a counterattack.

"For this question, I wanted you to have listened carefully to the news that we have published before you stand up and ask this question." Yang Baihe, who was sitting on the left, raised his head and looked at the reporter.
