The 79th story of a full-length business novel.
With this sort of a goody-goody image the foreign predators have arrived in the Korean peninsula already. And they have caught some delicious fish. The predators were no other than the American power, GM, a French Renault, and two Indians named Tata and Mahindra. However, their appetites were endless and unstoppable. Right, the Indian Tata () has not been fully satisfied with the decoy (commercial vehicle production of Daewoo). So he has sent his loyal vanguards, Jaguar & Land Rover, to the Korean peninsula for his gluttonous appetite. Right here, Jaguar is no other than the ferocious animal in the wild life.
is the mascot of Jaguar. As the mascot suggests it, the animal is a speedy and formidable leopard in Africa. Like the wild predator, Jaguar is a terrific and awesome warrior with Royal Warrants from Elizabeth the Second and her son Prince Charles. According to unidentified rumors, it has been said that he, as a loyal courtier for the Queen, presented a precious gift, a XJ model for her endearments on 11 May 2010. Also he made another prototype for the British Prime Minister, David Cameron. Looking at the prototype, Londoners gave a comment that:
“It is composed of bullet-proof glass, bomb-proof doors, and armor plating beneath the floor. So it must be an armored chariot. So, it can survive grenade blasts.”
In light of the comment, Jaguar must have a remarkable sleight of hand like the French wizard Peugeot. Today, Jaguar has been on the side of the Indian raja Tata with his friend, Land Rover () since 2008. So, he came to the Korean peninsula with his friend Land Rover on behalf of his new boss. If so, his mission is clear. It is to capture the Korean people’s mind by exploiting his gorgeous creations. Here is a fine example. According to the Media Centre for Jaguar & Land Rover, his design director, Ian Callum, made a visit to Seoul in March 2013.
In an official interview at the Press Center, Ian introduced himself to the Korean reporters in gentle manners that:
“I, as a car designer, have worked for Ford, TWR (Tom Walkinshaw Racing), Aston Martin and Jaguar for so many years. So I have lived in many countries such as Japan, Italy, Australia, the United States, and so on. Well, you might have watched the 007 James Bond film, Die Another Day. If so you might have seen the car driven by Pierce Brosnan. That was my art.”
Then he said cheerfully in a big smile that:
“Today, I have got an unusual but invaluable opportunity to be here in this dynamic and beautiful city, Seoul. As for me, this is the first time. But, it is exciting to me. Of course, I am to showcase our two brands, Jaguar and Land Rover, at the upcoming Seoul Motor Show. Then and there, I expect to meet lots of Korean people with our highly distinct British products.”
In this way he revealed his hidden mind. But here, his shiny and speedy products may be meshes and/or gaffs to attract their mind like his big smile to the reporters.
Like Jaguar and his staff, an Italian warlord Lamborghini also came to the Korean stage to get his own share.
is his emblem and it is his trademark. It directly stands for a fighting bull in a black rage. Like the trademark, his chariots are proud of high speed and overwhelming power. Under his command there are exclusively drooly carriages such as Gallardo, Diablo, Aventador, Miura, and so on. Originally Gallardo was a ‘very excellent’ bull. Diablo was also a name of a fighting bull. Its meaning was ‘demon.’ The legend came from the fighting between Diablo and another devilish bull in Madrid, Spain on July 11, 1869. There, Diablo won. So it came to get a nickname of ‘demon.’ Hearing the news, an Italian named Lamborghini was impressed. Then he named one of his chariots Diablo after the bull. Reputedly, his creation with the name of Diablo has 325km/h in maximum speed and 429 HP in maximum.
Like the two, Aventador was a name of a gigantic bull that had 507kg in weigh. It fought any bullfighter bloodily. So, the Italian was amazed and envied him. Then he christened one of his speedy chariots Aventador after the bull. Its high speed is known as 350km/h. Its maximum HP is 700. (Below is Aventador J at Geneva Motor Show in 2012.

However, Miura was not originated from the names of some particular bulls. It was from the name of a legendary Spanish bullfighter. Yes, his name was Antonio Miura. So, Lamborghini named one of his chariots Miura after the bullfighter. Its speed was said to be 280km/h and its maximum speed was 320km/h. Its HP (Horse Power) was known as 350 and its maximum HP was 560. (For reference, all the chariots named Gallardo, Diablo, Aventador and Miura are said to be exclusively higher than most chariots in price. Reportedly, one of his chariots, named Veneno made in 2013, is said to amount to $3.9 million.)
With the speedy chariots, Lamborghini has joined the pro-VW circle. Yes, his boss is VW (Volk Wagon), nicknamed Victorious Warrior (VW) from Germany. People say that there are several colorful figures under VW’s command except Lamborghini. One of them is Porsche. He is now a formidable vanguard for his boss VW with his shield. (). Also, it is his proud crest. However, be careful. Unlike the gorgeous image of a shield, his inhibited mind is quite different. His character is aggressive like a tiger. Yes, it is. According to hearsay, Porsche was famous for making assault tanks. And their names were Tiger I, Tiger II during the World War Two.(Below was his former tank prototype of Tiger I. Source: Wikipedia)

There is another proof to support it. It still remains. Nobody can deny it. It is the name of ‘Macan’ In origin, the word of Macan is derived from an Indonesian tiger. So Macan Porsche means a tiger of Porsche. If so, his inhibited mind is clear. Yes, his one is tigerish itself. Indeed, his tigerish chariots have been unveiled on the world stage. And they have already begun to roll down on the streets of Seoul. The reason is clear that they want to look for something and devour it into the mouths. For the reason, it must be true that they are prowling here and there in Seoul. (Below is a Macan Porsche. Source: www.motortrend.com)

Under VW, there are other gigantic figures. They are Scania of Sweden and Man of Germany. Literally, Man is a macho man with huge strength. () And Scania is like a griffin with an eagle-like head & a lion-like body. (
). Now the two giants, like Lamborghini and Porsche, came to the Korean peninsula under the directive of their German boss VW.
