Chapter 641 Spring and Autumn Brushwork(1/2)
Author: Linjiangxian
It’s not just Lu Hongwei who thinks so, in fact many people present think so.
How could Lu Yiming not see this?
Lu Yiming insists on allocating export quotas based on technology, which means that manufacturers with insufficient technical reserves are bound to be at a disadvantage.
Comparatively speaking, they are more eager to change this situation - let the association modify the rules. After all, it would be easier to let them use real money to smash technology, right?
However, Lu Yiming understands better that there must be no compromise or concession on this issue, otherwise the development of the color TV industry will probably return to its previous state.
Although price wars can drive away foreign investment, history has long proven that price wars have no future. The development of the manufacturing industry will ultimately depend on technology.
Lu Yiming, no matter what these people think in their hearts, capital has always been short-sighted, and will never give up the sesame seeds in front of them for the sake of future watermelon profits, and will even throw away the watermelons in the future for the sesame seeds in front of them. Lu Yiming cannot change this.
The current situation, because this itself is determined by human nature.
But he can stick to his original intention.
"You've only lived a comfortable life for a few days, and now you're thinking of taking shortcuts? Are you starting to get jealous after seeing the rainbow and making a fortune?"
Lu Yiming's voice was very soft, even teasing and mocking.
His eyes swept over everyone in front of him.
Some people quickly averted their eyes, turned their heads or lowered their heads when he looked at them. Others were not afraid at all and looked at Lu Yiming.
Lu Yiming then said: "You used to fight a price war in the country and it was very difficult. I helped you find export channels, and now you all make money. Of course, I am not asking for credit. I have been involved in the whole process."
During the process, I didn’t receive a penny from any of you.”
"You are all bosses and the most reliable people in your respective companies. Now that you see that Rainbow Group has found other channels, you feel that you don't have to be manipulated by me anymore. You feel that you have the confidence and capital to challenge me, and you feel that there is a way out...
…There is actually no problem with these. However, it is impossible for me to lower my standards. I am a very stubborn person, and the rules are the rules, and I will not change them.”
A representative of a small manufacturer protested: "Mr. Lu, we are not trying to bargain with each other. In fact, we have suffered a lot by doing this. After all, the scale of our company is not as large as that of leading companies such as TCL, Skyworth and Konka. Now they are because of
With advanced technology, more shares will be obtained, more funds will be withdrawn, and more money will be invested in research and development to maintain advantages. Such a rule that the strong will always be strong is too unfair to small and medium-sized manufacturers like us."
Lu Yiming knocked on the table and said in a cold voice: "If you think business is difficult, you don't have to do it. The door of the association is open. I won't stop anyone who wants to quit. I don't have any objection if you want to cooperate with APEX. Anyway, I'm with you."
You have no direct conflict of interest. But out of good intentions, I would like to advise you here that cooperation with APEX is very risky. If anything goes wrong, I hope you can handle it yourself."
Li Dongsheng said: "Mr. Lu also has strong connections in the United States, and his understanding of this APEX company must be much deeper than ours. Since Mr. Lu has said this, I hope everyone will think twice before acting. Anyway, I follow Lu closely.
Overall, I have no interest in this APEX company at all.”
Dong Yahua sneered: "Your company has the largest export quota, so of course you are on his side. Why don't you think about the life and death of our small factories?"
Li Dongsheng was too lazy to argue with Dong Yahua, and just said sarcastically: "I only know that if it weren't for Mr. Lu, you wouldn't even be able to get this quota. I'll say this, and you can take care of yourself."
As soon as these words came out, many representatives of small factories fell silent. After all, as Li Dongsheng said, whether it was the previous desperate price war or the current import and export trade, they were all people who looked up to them. Lu Yiming was willing to give them
A little export quota allowed them to survive, otherwise they would probably have been killed by now.
You can't be so careless about being a good person. Making money is making money, but you have to have a bottom line, right?
After the meeting, Lu Yiming stood up and left. Many participants also left.
The few bosses just got together again in private. Lu Yiming left, and their discussions became even more unscrupulous.
Lu Hongwei felt very unhappy at being ridiculed by Lu Yiming, and said angrily: "The richest man in Lu is clearly favoring the Three Musketeers of South China Institute of Technology. How about we just launch the association? If we don't keep you here, we will have our own place!"
Dong Yahua is older than Lu Hongwei, and his behavior is more like a thief. He smiled and said: "I don't think it is necessary to withdraw from the association, but we can talk to Ji Long fans about cooperation. In this way, the two sides will not be able to
Aren’t sinners beautiful?”
Others also thought it made sense and raised their hands in agreement.
Li Dongsheng and the others left together with Lu Yiming.
After walking out of the conference room, Li Dongsheng said aggrievedly: "Those companies will definitely contact APEX and want to eat both sides of these ungrateful things. Mr. Lu, do we really not show our support?"
The establishment of the association has standardized the domestic market competition to a considerable extent. At least it is not as chaotic as before. If anything happens, everyone can have a place to sit down and talk about it, instead of fighting to the end if they disagree.
Therefore, Li Dongsheng still values the association's right to speak.
After all, although Lu Yiming is the nominal president, as the leader, unless something big happens, he basically doesn't care about the affairs of the association. Li Dongsheng, Chen Weirong and Huang Hongsheng are the ones handling it, and they have a lot of power in their hands.
.
However, what surprised Li Dongsheng was that Lu Yiming really didn't intend to deal with this matter: "Didn't I say before, APEX is an unreliable company. Anyone who likes it can go there. Anyway, if something happens, don't come to the association for help."
Just get ahead."
As for the issue of the loss of power, Lu Yiming is not worried anymore. He has no interests in the Color TV Export Association, and he has no free time to participate in management, so it doesn't matter if it disappears.
However, although Lu Yiming felt that it didn't matter, the matter itself caused a big fuss. After all, Lu Yiming was the richest man. The association he took the lead to establish was facing the risk of falling apart in just a few months. This was because someone was going to
Those who saw the joke, especially those who were usually unhappy with him, seized this opportunity to smear Lu Yiming crazily, and even mobilized the media to chase and intercept Lu Yiming, intending to see his joke.
A group of reporters who came under instructions spent a whole day and finally squatted at the entrance of the villa area to Lu Yiming who was returning home, and rushed over with the equipment.
A reporter directly pointed the microphone into Lu Yiming's face: "Mr. Lu, there are already many color TV brands in China cooperating with APEX. What do you think about this?"
Lu Yiming said expressionlessly: "It's just some normal business dealings. What can I do? I don't run these companies, and I have no control over who they cooperate with."
But obviously, this answer was not what the reporter wanted. He asked unwillingly: "Mr. Lu, aren't you worried that the existence of APEX will threaten the Color TV Export Association? Rainbow Group has already sold its products through APEX channels.
Going to the United States, the profit exceeded US$750 million."
Lu Yiming smiled indifferently at this and said: "Money is money when it is in your hands. It is just a number lying in the ledger. Don't take it too seriously."
Upon hearing this, the reporters who gathered around were in an uproar.
A reporter asked: "Mr. Lu, do you mean that Rainbow Group cannot collect this account?"
Lu Yiming quickly clarified: "I never said this. Don't preset a position for me, or I will sue you for defamation."
Everyone has heard about Lu Yiming's ability to fight lawsuits. When Lu Yiming said this, everyone couldn't help but shrink their necks.
Although they really want hot topics and crazy traffic, they don't want to be sued by Lu Yiming.
After all, being involved in a lawsuit is a stain on your life no matter what, especially if it has a huge impact on your career.
However, this is just because they did not dare to talk to Lu Yiming on the spot. After the interview is over, the power of how to write this news report is still in their hands. Moreover, the Spring and Autumn Brushwork, a precious legacy passed down by Master Confucius, is also played by them.
The results are superb, with all kinds of explicit and implicit guidance, the overall effect of the report is simply embarrassing.
For example, someone wrote: Lu's richest man strongly denies that Rainbow Group cannot recover its accounts.
Someone else wrote: Can Rainbow Group recover the payment in time? The richest man, Lu, said not to take it too seriously.
Although it seems to have no beginning or end, if you interpret the text in this way, it will be difficult to avoid going astray.
The key point is that Lu Yiming still has no idea. After all, there are a thousand Lin Daiyu in the eyes of a thousand people. I didn't write it in black and white. If readers think so, what can I do?
Of course, in addition to those who deliberately lead Lu Yiming's topic, there are also those who criticize Rainbow Group from Lu Yiming's perspective. Anyway, commercial media are essentially commercial activities. The purpose of publishing all news is to sell newspapers. Of course, how
Why did the explosion come?
On the other side, Ni Runfeng, who was far away in Shu and was happily planning how to expand his sales, was in a good mood.
Standing in front of him, Xing Jinlong, the sales director of Rainbow Group, said: "Mr. Ni, with our refreshing low price, our Rainbow TV has a magical appeal to countless American families. In addition, it has complete functions and is of the highest quality.
If you choose, they will often be sold out in a short time as soon as they are put on the shelves.”
Then he took out a report and handed it to Ni Runfeng. He said in a relaxed tone: "This is the sales data sent last month. I think we can work harder and strive to increase the sales volume this month."
One punch."
After seeing it, Ni Runfeng was even more happy and praised: "Very good, we will continue to ship this month, double the quantity, and clear out our previous backlog of inventory as soon as possible."
Since the summer of 1998 when the state banned the listing of state-owned enterprises, Ni Runfeng has never been as happy as he is today.
As the helmsman of Rainbow Group, he naturally understands that blindly engaging in price wars is never the correct way to develop business. There may be merits once or twice, but in the long run, it will undoubtedly be a mindless operation that will lead to disaster.
However, Caihong Group's previous inventory backlog was serious, and the market in the domestic color TV industry was saturated, so he had to take this step.
Now that the sales channel to the United States has been opened, it has jumped out of the domestic quagmire and has the potential to soar into the sky.
At this moment, someone knocked on the office door. It was the front desk delivering newspapers.
"Mr. Ni, this is today's newspaper."
After all, he is the boss, and his life can be summed up simply as follows: a cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and a stack of newspapers to read for a day.
Ni Runfeng nodded slightly and said, "You can leave it there first."
After a while, after finishing talking about business matters, Ni Runfeng took a sip of hot tea and picked up a newspaper.
At first glance, his eyes suddenly widened and his face became quite ugly.
Because, the newspaper's front page headline clearly read: "Is the Rainbow Group's expedition to North America a sales miracle or a shocking scam?"
The following is the content of the interview with Lu Yiming.
Although at first glance, the content of the interview is irrelevant to the content of the title, but who is Ni Runfeng? Now he can be said to be Lu Yiming's mortal enemy. There are three sentences in this report that are inseparable from "Lu Yiming said", "Lu Yiming said"
"With this way of expression, Ni Runfeng immediately thought that Lu Yiming was mocking him in public.
The more Ni Runfeng watched, the angrier he became. He felt that the news seemed to be Lu Yiming questioning APEX's credibility, but in fact it was questioning Ni Runfeng's ability and vision.
After all, if Ji Longfen is really a liar, wouldn't he, Ni Runfeng, become a fool?
