Speaking of Cao Dewang, everyone is not unfamiliar, he is an entrepreneur and a philanthropist. Under the leadership of Cao Dewang, Fuyao Glass has been sold to the world, from domestic cars to imported cars, from family cars to luxury cars, so to speak, the mainstream car brands in the market are basically Cao Dewang's customers. Ask you a question, according to your feelings, what brand of glass do you feel about Hongqi H9? Presumably, most people's answer is Fuyao, and the result is unexpected.
FAW Hongqi H9 car glass printed "PILKINGTON", translated into Chinese called Pilkington. Pilkington is one of the world's largest glass production groups, founded in 1826. Seeing the red flag H9 with Pirkington, somewhat a little accident, why did not use Fuyao glass? Some people say that luxury brands use Pirkington, general brands use Fuyao, Hongqi H9 positioning luxury cars, and it is normal to use Pilkington, and I do not fully agree with this point of view.
It is undeniable that many luxury brands use Pirkington, such as Ferrari and BBA, but Honda and Toyota and Volkswagen also use Pyrkington, so Pyrkington is not a patent of luxury brands, of course, many luxury brands also use Fuyao, including Rolls-Royce.
Not only Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Land Rover, BBA and other brands also use Fuyao, these cars are luxury brands, especially Rolls-Royce, you know, RR is a global ultra-luxury brand, ceiling-level models, this grade of cars are used fuyao, which shows the strength of Fuyao. Since Rolls-Royce uses Fuyao, why does the Red Flag H9 use Pirkington? Besides, Cao Dewang and FAW have a very good relationship.
As we all know, Cao Dewang bought a Hongqi L5, this Hongqi L5 was bought by Cao Dewang to FAW, it cost five or six million at that time, as for why he bought this car, in Cao Dewang's original words: Because FAW, GAC is my first user, then Mr. Xu Liuping asked me to give him a show, then you can not always go home empty-handed, I help you buy a car back, whether it is Fuyao's strength or sophistication, Hongqi H9 should use Fuyao, isn't it? Presumably, most people support this view, but the Red Flag H9 uses Pirkinton.
There are about 3 possibilities for the Hongqi H9 to use Pirkington, 1: the owner broke the glass and then replaced it with Pyrkington, but this is unlikely, because there is more than one H9 with Pirkington. 2: A certain batch of cars with Pirkington, a batch of cars with Fuyao, 3: mixed use, some models, front and side gear is not a brand, from the perspective of corporate procurement, procurement of glass to consider the model positioning, function, price and other factors, procurement does not look at the brand and friendship, suitable for themselves is the best, in addition, how do you understand?
