Chapter 807 Weipuda Crisis

The atmosphere at the dinner table was not very lively. Compared with the unscrupulous and eloquent talk of Kevin before, now he is more like a mute.

"The overseas market will be one of the most important departments of Jiafeng. Only when we go out and face the world can we achieve success in a true sense." Lu Feng said to Kevin: "Now the whole department, whether it is manpower or experience, , are very few, and you need to work hard on this aspect."

Kevin straightened his face, and said: "My idea is that it will be much easier to spread to neighboring countries first, and the transportation cost will be much easier, and the culture is basically the same as the domestic one, and there is no need to change much in the product. , The main products are still TV sets, VCDs, and pagers. After the follow-up brands are established, other products can keep up."

Lu Feng nodded and said: "Overseas markets are more difficult, I will leave this to you, and I will tell you another thing, you must pay attention to Motorola, Watanabe is like a mad dog, biting me, you as soon as possible Do it, and if you have any questions, you can give me feedback.”

"Okay, I will do my best!" Kevin nodded solemnly.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the dinner was over, and the next day Kevin was officially in charge of the overseas market department. This time, unlike the previous three days of fishing and two days of fishing, he first introduced a group of middle-level managers, and then went to the talent reserve center to find dozens of as an intern, and began to conduct overseas market research.

March is the season of spring, and the howling wind brings the footsteps of summer, just like the strong wind in the communication industry, which makes people lose their minds.

The market for Jiaxun pagers began to stabilize, and online and offline advertisements were advancing steadily. Foreign brands such as Motorola, Ericsson, Toshiba, and Panasonic quickly turned around and launched a charge towards the high ground of lovers.

In a short period of time, four products were released in a row, namely, Love at First Sight, Walking with Love, Love of a Thousand Years, and Meet the White First, and even started the marketing strategy of marriage proposal pagers, and all the demons danced about love pagers for a while.

Brands began to find domestic celebrities to endorse. Advertisements similar to those of Jiaxun Technology became more and more for a while, and there were countless imitators. Some even simply took all the plans of Jiaxun's pager planned by Lu Feng, and directly copied it. , the result is known without asking, the death is very fast.

For a while, there was a saying about Lu Feng in the domestic business circle: those who resemble me die, those who imitate me die!

On April 1994, [-], the relevant department officially announced that the domestic Internet was officially connected to the international market. This news excited many Chinese who were engaged in Internet work in the United States. Many people in the Chinese circle were discussing whether they should return to China to start a business.

At the same time, another matter was announced at the meeting. Ten foreign-funded communication companies were granted network access licenses to carry out relevant commercial activities in the country. These ten companies include Motorola, Ericsson, Nokia, Panasonic, Sharp, Siemens, Samsung and others.

These ten companies are basically the top in the global communications industry. For these companies, the issuance of network access licenses does not necessarily mean that they will enter the country to sell products. After all, for these international giants, this is a potential. market.

But for Nokia, this is an excellent opportunity, mosquito meat is also meat!

Elmi called Lu Feng immediately. She deeply believed that without Lu Feng's help, Nokia would definitely not be able to obtain this license. There are many companies that are more powerful than Nokia, but they still have not obtained it.

From this incident, she could feel Lu Feng's ability to overwhelm the sky in the country.

"Thank you so much, I don't even know how to repay you." Elmi's voice was a little excited: "If you have time, I will treat you to a meal."

Listening to the voice on the phone, Lu Feng smiled and said, "Just a meal?"

"I've been quite busy recently. As you know, after getting the network access license, things will become more complicated. Our products will arrive soon. When everything is settled, we can eat as many meals as we want. I will I will have dinner with you every day." Elmi said in a slightly whimpering voice.

"Now that the network access license has been completed, how about the joint research and development that was mentioned earlier?" Lu Feng asked.

"Forehead."

Elmi also told her dad about this, and was directly refuted. Nokia's biggest core competitiveness is communication technology, which is a housekeeping skill. Even if it is to cooperate in research and development, it is a match with Motorola and Ericsson. of large enterprises.

Cooperate with a newly emerging company like Jiafeng Electronics?

What a joke, this is absolutely impossible.

Elmi also knew that besides himself, Lu Feng also wanted this. She said coquettishly on the phone: "I will settle this matter for you, don't worry, let's talk about it, we will all be together in the future." It’s your own person, so why care about these things?”

Lu Feng looked very disdainful when he heard this. She really thought that she was the one who lost her mind when she saw a beautiful woman.

But that's fine too, Lu Feng said to the phone: "I feel more at ease with your words, no matter what, this is our family's property, isn't mine is yours, research and development is very important to us. It's really important."

"I know, you don't need to tell me this every time you call, do you care about your company's R&D or me?" Elmi was a little annoyed, and directly resorted to her trump card, saying: "Then you and your R&D company Let's get together, say every time, hang up!"

After speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

Lu Feng listened to the blind voice on the phone, with a bit of impatience on his face, but this 'love game' had to go on, at least he had to wait for Nokia to get involved.

Lu Feng had no choice but to pick up the phone and call again. After several calls, he didn't answer until the fifth time. Elmi said angrily, "Why are you calling me? Aren't you going to talk to R&D?" Have you been in the company? You are looking for me for research and development cooperation?"

"No, baby, I just need to cooperate now, and it happens that you also have this background." Lu Feng explained to the phone.

"Is this what I care about? You just need me to give it to you, and I ask every time I call, what I want is your attitude, do you understand?" Elmi said in a deep voice: "Do you know what's wrong? "

"I know I was wrong. Is my attitude okay? When will there be news about the cooperation?" Lu Feng said intentionally.

"You! You still care about this matter, I am so angry, you still care about your cooperation, you should reflect on yourself!"

"Don't, don't, don't hang up, I was wrong, I won't mention it in the future, please help me and worry about it." Lu Feng could only follow her rhythm.

"Don't think that we are close now, so you can bully me at will. Let me tell you, how many people chased me before, the prince of Saudi Arabia gave me a private jet, and I didn't even want it, and the British royal family, Wall Street Son of a financial tycoon, what am I trying to do when I am with you?" Elmi sobbed and said, "You treat me like this, asking endlessly, and I have been helping you!"

Lu Feng wanted to laugh when he heard the voice on the phone. Is this routine really passed down from ancient times?
"Don't cry, I'm sorry, where are you now, I'll find you!" Lu Feng said hastily.

"I don't want to see you!"

"It's my fault. I won't urge you in the future."

"Don't apologize to me, let me tell you, our first batch of products will arrive this month, you can free up a counter for us, and you are busy with advertising and publicity recently." Elmi ordered.

"Okay, I'll do it well, don't be unhappy." Lu Feng coaxed.

"Do you know how to say that? You've been pissed off, and you can't even coax people. You hang up, crying and putting on makeup, and go to make up. There will be a meeting in a while." Elmi said aggrievedly.

"Just don't get angry with me, where are you going to eat tonight?" Lu Feng asked.

"Don't eat, hang up!" After finishing talking, Elmi hung up the phone, calmed down, and decided to go shopping and buy some clothes for herself.

Lu Feng put down the phone and let out a long sigh of relief. It was really not easy to play with her. After thinking about it, he picked up the phone and called Zhu Lidong.

"Are you at headquarters?"

"Yes!" Zhu Lidong said in surprise, "What's the matter, Mr. Lu?"

"Have a meeting and call the person in charge of sales channels." Lu Feng felt that this matter should be pushed forward as soon as possible.

Zhu Lidong put down the phone with a grim expression on his face. The marketing plan planned in March has not been effective. The off-season has passed, but the single-day sales of Vipuda TVs are still hovering around [-] units. Sales broke the tens of millions mark.

How could Zhu Lidong not feel guilty when he made it like this less than half a year after it was handed over to him?

But he is also wronged!

This year has been a bloody year, and the price war is about to break out. The price of a large color TV that used to cost more than [-] yuan has dropped to around [-] yuan this year, and the price of the entire TV set has dropped by more than [-] yuan. .

In addition, Lu Feng offended too many people before, now that Zhu Lidong came up, other people saw that I can't beat Lu Feng, good guy, and I can't beat you, Zhu Lidong?
In terms of pricing, product positioning, and preferential activities, we can take turns to squeeze Weipuda TV. It can be said that this year’s Weipuda TV is revenge for those who have grievances. With a daily sales volume of [-] units, his ability has already attracted the attention of many colleagues.

Zhu Lidong packed his things and asked his assistant to call the person in charge of the channel to the conference room. He was not in a good mood at the moment. Don't look at Lu Feng standing in front of Lu Feng when his performance was good, but now he is really trembling.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Lidong was ready to be scolded bloody, and he had already thought about it. He had to tell Mr. Lu about this matter. When the semi-annual report came, the sales performance was too bad, so Lu Feng would not fire him. He probably has to deduct his salary. The most important thing is that Zhu Lidong can't accept the fact that he is not capable.
