Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 759 Shanzhai Products
For a whole morning, the "Daxing Electronics" booth did not attract a single foreign businessman. This was undoubtedly a big blow to Zhou Zhenbo who was full of ambitions. The foreign businessmen he saw were communicating and chatting at other booths, and there were several manufacturers among them. Inviting foreign businessmen to the reception room to sign a contract made Zhou Zhenbo envious and jealous, but more helpless.

The museum was closed for lunch, and Zhou Zhenbo had no appetite at all when he returned to the cafeteria. Although the food provided by the organizing committee was good, he just ate a bowl of rice and returned to the exhibition hall.

At this time, the museum had not yet reopened, so Zhou Zhenbo started to circle the entire household appliances exhibition hall out of boredom.

Previously, Zhou Zhenbo hadn't noticed the products in the same exhibition hall, and spent all his time and energy arranging his own exhibition area. However, after he walked around the exhibition hall, he was stunned.

It turned out that in the home appliance showroom, apart from TVs, refrigerators, and radios, Zhou Zhenbo found that several manufacturers in other provinces were also selling subwoofer speakers, and even the appearance design of many speakers was obviously imitating the subwoofer products produced by Tianyin Electronics Factory. , and the price is much cheaper than their "Daxing Electronics"!
As far as Zhou Zhenbo knows, the subwoofer product produced by Tianyin Electronics Factory is the first in China. There has never been such a type of speaker product before, and many manufacturers in this exhibition hall are obviously copying and imitating the appearance of Tianyin Electronics Factory. and design!
In addition, what made Zhou Zhenbo even more angry was that after asking the staff in the exhibition hall, he learned that these manufacturers had already obtained some foreign trade orders, the largest of which exceeded 3000 speakers. The extra order should have belonged to "Daxing Electronics" in the first place!

Some foreign businessmen are willing to buy this kind of subwoofer speaker, which shows that Tianyin subwoofer has potential in the international market. Although Zhou Zhenbo is not an employee of Tianyin Electronics Factory, their factory is now relying on Tianyin Electronics Factory for food, so Zhou Zhenbo no matter what Also seek an explanation from these manufacturers.

After looking around, Zhou Zhenbo strode to the booth of Beihe Electronics Factory. It is said that this booth has just won a foreign trade order for 3000 sets of subwoofer speakers, and this is a provincial key electronics company. The household appliances produced by their factory It is also well-known throughout the country.

"May I ask who is the person in charge here?" Zhou Zhenbo walked to the booth and asked several representatives of the manufacturers there.

"What's the matter?" Hearing Zhou Zhenbo's question, a middle-aged man with parted head in a gray Chinese tunic came up to him.

"I am Zhou Zhenbo, the factory representative of Daxing Electronics." Zhou Zhenbo introduced himself.

Although seeing that the speakers produced by Beihe Electronics Factory were almost exactly the same as the Tianyin subwoofers of his own factory, Zhou Zhenbo felt annoyed at this moment, but he still needed to negotiate first.

"Ah, hello Comrade Zhou Zhenbo, my name is He Ming, and I'm the factory representative of Beihe Electric Factory..." The middle-aged man who called himself He Ming replied casually.

"I took a look at the speaker products of your factory. Both in appearance and working principle, they are almost exactly the same as Tianyin subwoofers in our factory. What do you mean by copying our factory's product design? Low, is it a little unkind?" Zhou Zhenbo questioned He Ming.

Zhou Zhenbo actually didn't know what a patent was, and he had no idea about it, but he just felt that the other party imitated his own factory's products and sold them at a low price, which was obviously a very bad behavior.

"Comrade Zhou, what you said is a little interesting?" He Ming's face flashed disdain upon hearing this, and he continued: "Your factory sells speakers, and our factory also sells speakers. Isn't it normal that the appearance looks like this? Let's talk , Why do you say that our factory's products copied your factory's? I still suspect that your factory copied our factory's production design?"

"Fart!" Zhou Zhenbo couldn't help but swear, and said to He Ming: "Our factory is the first company in the country to produce subwoofer speakers, and we even advertised on CCTV before. The popularity of the…”

"Keep your mouth clean!" He Ming is obviously not a good person, and he said to Zhou Zhenbo with a downcast face: "What's so great about advertising on the TV station! Isn't it just spending a little more money? Our factory is in your This kind of subwoofer product has been developed before advertising, but it has only recently started to be mass-produced and sold. Selling things depends on their own skills. Everyone sells speakers. The products of your factory cannot be sold because of you. The quality of the products produced by the factory is not good! Now that you see our factory’s high-quality products sold to foreigners, you are jealous? If you have no skills, you have no skills. What are you looking for here?”

He Ming actually knew what Zhou Zhenbo meant, and he also knew that the products of his factory were indeed knockoffs from Tianyin Electronics Factory, but there is no such thing as a patent in China at present, so even though their factory is indeed a bit unkind, He Ming didn't think it was true. What a big deal, and even acted a little confident.

"Whose factory do you think the product quality is not good for?!" Hearing this, Zhou Zhenbo was furious, rushed up and grabbed He Ming by the collar.

Although it was only an OEM for Tianyin Electronics Factory before, Daxing Electronics No. [-] Factory is indeed very strict about quality, and they are also very optimistic about the batch of orders given to them by Duan Yun. After all, the factory has not been profitable, and finally got it Such "fat work" is naturally cherished all the more.

Zhou Zhenbo is also a person with a strong sense of collective honor. Although the factory is not profitable, at least it is his job for the rest of his life. The products made by hundreds of workers in the factory are actually slandered by other factories as poor quality. It was something Zhou Zhenbo could not accept.

"What are you doing!?" Seeing that Zhou Zhenbo and He Ming were pushing and shoving together, several security personnel who were on duty at the stadium immediately ran over shouting.

"Let go! If you have something to say, please say it!" Jin Guoping, the deputy director of the secretariat who happened to be passing by the exhibition hall at this time, rushed forward after seeing this scene.

"Deputy Director Jin, you came just in time!" Seeing Jin Guoping approaching, Zhou Zhenbo immediately shouted to him: "They copied the technology and appearance of our products at Beihe Electronics Factory, and robbed us of all our business! And Over there, the Hongan Electronics Factory, the North Electronics Factory, the South Electronics Factory... at least six or seven electronics factories have copied our factory's product technology design, it is really shameless!"

"Who are you calling shameless?"

"It's not stipulated that only your Daxing Electronics Factory can produce subwoofer speakers. Why can't we produce them?"

"I think you are jealous of our large orders!"

"What! Pooh!"

Representatives from several other electronics factories who were named by Zhou Zhenbo also stepped forward to mock him.

"Okay! Shut up!" Seeing the chaos, Jin Guoping's face sank and he said to Zhou Zhenbo and the other named manufacturers: "You guys come to the reception room with me first, and I told you what's going on!"
