Just recently, the Internet set off a wave of "squinting eyes", the first by the anime movie "Lion Boy" caused this storm, but then there are also food brands "three squirrels" to quote squinting models to further escalate the incident, the model himself was exposed to use insulting gestures. However, unlike "Lion Boy", the three squirrels were dug up.
Recently, our protagonist "Mercedes- Benz" used the same method as the three squirrels to "express" its views on this incident, which in the editor's view, this is really too small to look at domestic consumers, domestic consumers are shouting: "Never agree with this advertisement!" Mercedes-Benz still used the same model as the three squirrels for advertising on the cusp of these two days. This is what ulterior motives everyone knows, in addition to insulting China, it can also bring a wave of traffic at home and abroad. This has to be said that Mercedes-Benz is really "high", which is undoubtedly a disgusting practice of the Chinese people.
For a well-known brand such as Mercedes-Benz, there is no need to "follow the trend" and take the risk of doing this kind of insulting advertising, after all, the method of publicity is not the only one. However, at present, Mercedes-Benz has quietly removed the advertisement. So far, Mercedes-Benz has not given a reasonable answer to domestic consumers, which has to be said to cause dissatisfaction among most domestic consumers.
In fact, for Mercedes-Benz's popularity in China, as long as you apologize well, and then shoot an advertisement again, we consumers will still buy it, so why does he always do it? I think this incident is more like a long-standing "tradition" of Mercedes-Benz than a "follower".
Just a few years ago, Mercedes-Benz sent an executive to a domestic company for management, and this executive only scolded the domestic employees because of a small matter of parking, and his scolding could be described as quite ugly. The meaning is roughly: "I've been in China for a year!" The first thing I understand here is that all of you Chinese are raised by a certain person! "The most egregious thing is that the executive even ended up taking out a spray to get rid of the owners!" This is extremely arrogant!
Although the executive was eventually removed, this has shown an attitude that is hidden in Mercedes.com. This can also understand why Mercedes-Benz is still able to launch "squinting" advertising on the cusp of such a recent storm. Sure enough, this is a kind of "tradition" hidden in its heart!
Not only that, Mercedes-Benz's disgusting domestic matter is not only manifested in advertising, but also in products. Maybach, which has particularly poor sales in the world, has faced two production suspensions in the world, and it has not been saved under the Chinese market, but It was never expected that Mercedes-Benz would bite back. This model has shamelessly increased its price without adding any configuration! And it was still crazy growth, and finally rose to 158.8-2738 million yuan! Dealers will add 40-1.2 million!
This is the so-called famous brand in The country! However, China is still the largest sales market for Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz's discrimination in products is not limited to Maybach, but there are other products that not only do not give the same configuration, but even reduce the configuration and increase the price. This Mercedes-Benz approach is really chilling for Chinese consumers.
So for Mercedes-Benz to do this, what do you think of the officials?
The picture comes from the Internet, and the infringing contact is deleted.
