Reborn since 1993

Chapter 1177 All feedback will appear in another form.

"Mr. Li!"

When the plane, which had been circling in the air, landed at the airport, Li Dongling and Gao Peng, Wei Taining, and other senior executives of Dongling High-Tech stepped out of the cabin, and a burst of flashes appeared.

The first to speak was Zhu Huaqiu, general manager of Dongling High-Tech Xiangbei Company, followed by Huang Yongfeng, a member of the council of the Mainland Fishing Association.

Domestically, as the core of Dongling Hi-Tech, the company has now established branches or at least offices in almost every province in China, thus basically covering the domestic market.

As hosts, the two introduced Li Dongling to everyone present.

"This is Director Cai from the Xiangbei Provincial Government Office!"

"Mr. Li, on behalf of the Xiangbei Provincial Government, I welcome you!"

"Shohoku is grateful to Dongling High-Tech for everything they have done for Shohoku!"

Director Cai extended his hand to Li Dongling. The reason why such a big commotion occurred today was not only because of Dongling High-Tech, but mainly because of Xiangbei's previous statement on Li Dongling's donation during the flood.

"Director Cai, you flatter us. Dongling High-Tech will always stand with Xiangbei!"

Upon hearing this, Director Cai smiled, and reporters from media outlets such as the Yangtze River Daily and Jiangcheng Evening News who were waiting nearby began taking photos. As expected, these words would appear in the news report on Xiangbei Provincial Television today.

"This is Mayor Liu of Jiangcheng City Government..."

"Director of the Municipal Government Office..."

Li Dongling exchanged a few pleasantries with the people who came to pick him up at the airport, and then took a group photo with Director Cai and others in front of the media. These were all part of the procedure, and the photos were to be published in the official media reports of Xiangbei and Jiangcheng tomorrow.

The level of treatment received today is actually a result of Dongling Hi-Tech's current status in the domestic market, combined with the impact of this flood donation.

To be honest, Dongling High-Tech didn't ask for anything in return for this flood relief donation, but did they really get nothing in return?

Ask Zhu Huaqiu, who is in charge of Dongling High-Tech Xiangbei Company, and then ask about the local situation of Dongling High-Tech companies in Ganzhou, Xiangnan, and Minnan, which received donations from Dongling High-Tech, and you will discover the subtle details.

Dongling High-Tech's products, including Hasee computers, electronic dictionaries, and Feiyan MP3 players, are now readily available in major cities throughout northern Hunan.

Since the flood, computer procurement orders from the provincial government of Xiangbei, as well as local municipal governments, state-owned enterprises, schools, hospitals, and other units have almost exclusively been for Shenzhou or Founder brands, with no other brands appearing since!
Even when you walk down the street, almost all the electronics stores you see are Shenzhou specialty stores or authorized Shenzhou stores. There are also authorized stores of other brands like Xiang, but their number and scale are nowhere near that of Shenzhou.

The biggest change is to East Express, which just obtained a temporary express delivery license, but the license can only be used in Guangdong Province.

In Xiangbei, however, Oriental Express operated almost entirely openly and honestly, without any obstruction or interference from postal or courier services.

If Oriental Express hadn't followed the rules and refused to accept express delivery orders from municipal governments and state-owned enterprises, it's estimated that in places like Jiangcheng, the postal and express delivery orders would have been snatched away by Oriental Express.

As for whether other courier companies will compete with Oriental Express for territory and market share in Jiangcheng?

To put it simply, if some unscrupulous courier company were to try and take over Dongfang Express's territory, Dongfang Express wouldn't even need to do anything. All it would take is for one of their couriers to be injured by a competitor and stand out on the street.

If this scene were to be "unfortunately" captured and reported by the media, then many people would probably "stand up for Oriental Express," and even some hot-tempered men would likely take action on their own initiative.

I ask you, the Dongfang Express delivery personnel who stood shoulder to shoulder with the people of Jiangcheng, braving the raging floods and going against the current to deliver various supplies to Jiangcheng, delivering life-saving supplies such as water, food, and medicine to countless families in Jiangcheng during times of crisis, were bullied in Jiangcheng.

Let alone outsiders, even the people of Jiangcheng themselves are probably starting to get impatient.

Even without the police department's intervention, the people of Jiangcheng, who are always pioneers, will probably take matters into their own hands!
Other courier companies are trying to take over Oriental Express's territory without doing anything. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
These are actually the supplies donated by Dongling High-Tech during the floods, as well as the impact of Oriental Express and others, which are beginning to emerge.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Xiangbei, Xiangnan, Ganzhou, and other areas will become the core base for Dongling High-Tech and Oriental Express.

For at least a generation, no competitor can shake Dongling High-Tech's influence in these regions!
"Mr. Li, the sales volume of Aigo MP3 players has exceeded 50,000 units today. Is that true?"

Seeing that Li Dongling and his entourage were about to leave, some of the bolder media and reporters couldn't help but step forward and ask Li Dongling questions.

Even those present, including Director Cai, who weren't very familiar with the Aigo brand, could tell from the reporter's expression that this achievement was probably no small feat. "You should ask Mr. Feng about this; he's the real head of the Aigo brand!"

“However, as far as I know,” Li Dongling said to the reporter, taking out his phone and seeing a text message from Feng Jun, “your information seems to be a bit outdated!”

"Mr. Li, are you sure you want to donate 5% of the profits from the Hasee A1 all-in-one PC? The sales volume of the Hasee A1 has already exceeded 480,000 units!"

The person who asked the question this time was Wang Zhe, a reporter from Jiangcheng Evening News. He was also the first to report on Oriental Express delivering supplies to Jiangcheng, which directly ignited public opinion.

At the launch event for the Hasee A1 all-in-one PC, Li Dongling promised to donate 5% of the profits from the Hasee A1 PC.

As a high-end computer, the Shenzhou A1 all-in-one PC has a profit margin far exceeding that of other computers. Even though it has not been publicly disclosed, it is speculated that the profit margin is probably above 15%.

In fact, the profit margin of Shenzhou A1 is higher than the media's estimate, reaching about 19%.

If we were to actually take out 5% of the profits from the sales of the Shenzhou A1 all-in-one PC, that amount would be nearly 30 million US dollars, which is an astronomical figure.

The popularity of Shenzhou A1 has exceeded expectations, and many people are watching to see if Dongling High-Tech will keep its word.

Which company would be willing to spend such a large sum of hard-earned money? If it were any other company, they would probably try every means to make up for it, find various reasons to pay less, or even not pay at all!

"Dongling High-Tech will donate the portion of the profits from the Shenzhou A1 that it promised to donate to areas affected by this year's floods."

All expenditures will be handled by the Zhixing Foundation, and will be supervised by relevant departments such as the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Donation certificates and lists will also be provided on the official website!

Faced with Wang Zhe's question, Li Dongling answered without much thought.

Donating this money is indeed not a small amount, but for Dongling High-Tech, breaking their promise would result in a loss far greater than the amount of money donated!

Furthermore, just like this flood relief donation, even if no one asks for anything in return, in the end, all the rewards return to Dongling High-Tech in another form.

Similarly, the donation of Shenzhou all-in-one machines may not have an immediate effect, but in the future, it will become a memory for a generation in a region, especially for those who received the donation.

They may be struggling financially now, or still in school, but when they grow up, will they buy a Shenzhou all-in-one computer to make up for the regrets of their youth?

"In addition to the donation of the Shenzhou A1 all-in-one machine, Dongling High-Tech Company and I will each contribute 10 million yuan to the reconstruction of the flood-stricken areas of Jiangcheng!"

As promised by Li Dongling, the profits from the Shenzhou A1 all-in-one machine this year will be donated to areas in China affected by floods, including not only Wuhan but also other regions.

Now, Li Dongling's donation is for the Jiangcheng area. Upon hearing Li Dongling's words, the municipal officials from Xiangbei and Jiangcheng, as well as media reporters such as Wang Zhe, all showed expressions of surprise.

But Li Dongling's next words shocked Director Cai.

"To support the reconstruction of Jiangcheng, Dongling High-Tech will establish a new production base in Jiangcheng, which will serve as a production base for products including Patriot MP3 players!"

Before anyone else could react to Li Dongling's words, Director Cai was the first to applaud. As a municipal government official, he understood all too well the meaning behind Li Dongling's words.

These days, the name Pingyang is probably well-known throughout China. In recent years, Pingyang has emerged as a dark horse, becoming one of the fastest-growing economies in the country.

Among these, Dongling High-Tech is definitely the engine of Pingyang. Many of Pingyang's key projects and plans are closely related to Dongling High-Tech.

It's almost fair to say that wherever Dongling High-Tech settles, that area has the potential to become an economic dark horse.

For those in officialdom, a new path to success may appear, and becoming the leader of Pingyang would make their resumes incredibly splendid.

They might even have the opportunity to take that crucial step that Qi Tongwei in a certain TV series dreamed of taking. You can imagine how attractive that would be for someone in a career.

Even if we settle for second best and only allow some of Dongling High-Tech's industries or new production bases to be located here, it can still bring a lot of jobs and tax revenue to the local area, allowing many local people to climb up the ranks of their careers!
After Dongling High-Tech establishes a new production base in Jiangcheng, will Feiyan Technology, Focus Media, and Oriental Times Shopping Mall follow suit?

For the entire city of Jiangcheng, the establishment of Dongling High-Tech could bring investments and projects worth hundreds of millions, billions, or even more!
The arrival of Dongling High-Tech is a remarkable achievement for any city, let alone for Jiangcheng, which is undergoing reconstruction!
