But after the debt turmoil, it all came to naught.
According to the authoritative media Yonhap News Agency and local Japanese media reports, Japanese companies have paid attention to Zhang Jike's debt turmoil, and a Japanese automobile manufacturer immediately deleted the promotional content related to Zhang Jike, which also means that the cooperation between this Japanese company and Zhang Jike has ended.
