Chapter 395 You Damn Think You Are Bing Xixi
As soon as Lu Yiming arrived at Youyuan Technology, Zheng Youyuan told him straight to the point about the company's situation: "Mr. Lu, there are counterfeit USB drives on the market."

"Counterfeit? So fast?"

Although Lu Yiming knew that the counterfeit USB flash drive would definitely appear, after all, no one would not be envious of such a big market cake.But what Lu Yiming didn't expect was that this copycat flash drive appeared so quickly.

It's just the Chinese New Year. Is the technical strength of domestic pirated products so strong?

Zheng Youyuan was also unambiguous, and immediately took out the counterfeit USB flash drive he bought from the market, and handed it to Lu Yiming: "You should take a look at this first."

Lu Yiming took it over and inspected it, and found that the USB flash drive in his hand was in the shape of a keychain designed by him. He thought it was Mingyuan Technology's own product, but after a closer look, he found that the USB flash drive in his hand was rough in workmanship, especially the outer casing. There are even gaps visible to the naked eye.

He gently broke it open with his hands, and the parts inside were scattered all over the floor.

Regarding the materials and workmanship, Lu Yiming immediately became a little angry: "This is produced by ourselves? Didn't I emphasize that Mingyuan Technology's products must be strictly controlled in quality? Product quality problems will seriously damage our brand. figurative!"

Cheng Xiaohua told Lu Yiming with a bitter face: "This USB flash drive is a counterfeit product, not produced by us."

Zheng Youyuan also said: "Because the customer's complaints about product quality have suddenly increased in the past two days, I only noticed this matter, and then bought a few samples from the market, and found that the situation was even more serious than I thought."

When mentioning this matter, Zheng Youyuan's expression was unprecedentedly serious: "The counterfeit and shoddy USB flash drives are sold all over the street now, and the other party's shipments are very large, and several computer stores and home appliance stores in Baiyun City can buy them. As a result, a large number of customers directly come to Mingyuan Technology for trouble when encountering quality problems.”

The more Zheng Youyuan talked, the more excited he became. Thinking that he was taking the blame for the imitation for no reason, he immediately opened his mouth and cursed: "Before selling fake products, at least change the shell, and now I have copied the shell directly, and I am not afraid of giving birth to a son without PY!"

Putting aside the loss of money, the damage to the brand image of fake and shoddy products is fatal.

After all, the customer doesn't care whether the product he bought is a fake or not, he only knows that the USB flash drive of Mingyuan Technology is easy to break, so the impression will naturally be bad.

Until now, Lu Yiming didn't realize that the other party's counterfeit USB drive came directly from Mingyuan Technology. Even the appearance is exactly the same, the only difference is that the quality is several grades worse.

Lu Yiming asked: "Have you found the production base of the other party? If the shipment volume is large, then it is definitely not a small handicraft workshop."

Zheng Youyuan said distressedly: "I have mobilized the company's people to search for it, but we have traveled all over Baiyun City, but we can't find it. I guess, the other party's factory is probably not in the urban area, or even in this city. In a while, where can I find someone?"

After hearing this, Lu Yiming also had a gloomy expression, and said with condensed eyebrows, "It's not the way to go on like this. If it's really impossible, talk to the people who sell fake USB flash drives. They can't and don't know where these fake USB flash drives come from, right? Fake USB flash drives Where is the hottest selling place?"

Zheng Youyuan gritted his teeth and said: "It's Pengrun Electric, they sell the most arrogantly, many salesmen dislike us for giving less rebates, and directly sell fake and shoddy USB drives to customers, because the profits given by counterfeit manufacturers are higher. "

When Lu Yiming heard it, he was immediately startled: "Good guy, do you know that fakes are sold?"

You fucking thought you were Bing Xixi?

Of course, he has heard of the name of Pengrun Electric Appliances. After all, the founder Huang Junlie was once the richest man in the Xia Kingdom, and then he was sent in by the shareholders to sing tears behind bars for more than ten years.

At the time, this incident was a source of excitement throughout the country. After all, it was not common for the richest man to go to jail.

As for Pengrun Electric Appliances, it is purely a product of the era under the business philosophy of "channel is king". After all, the current domestic home appliance market requires technology but no technology, and quality but no quality. If you want to sell well, you can only price it. The battle is over, and various promotional activities are in full swing.

Therefore, the concept of marketing has been wildly hyped up, advocating that sales are king.

However, in fact, Pengrun Electric Appliances is actually just a vampire, lying on the body of the manufacturer to suck blood, causing the entire industry to enter a vicious circle in which bad money drives out good money.

Because of the low profit due to the price war, because of the low profit, there is no money for research and development, because without research and development, we can only rely on price wars to maintain market share, and eventually sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire.

If possible, Lu Yiming really doesn't want to deal with such profit-seeking platform companies.

But there is no way, now that copycat USB flash drives are flooding, and they still know how to sell fake products, this kind of communication will not work.

Lu Yiming thought for a while, and immediately made a decision: "I'll visit sometime."

The seventh day of the Lunar New Year is Human's Day, which originated from ancient oriental mythology. It is said that Nuwa was the first to create a human being on the seventh day after creating animals such as chickens, dogs, pigs, sheep, cattle and horses. Call it "Man Day".

Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there have been people's day festival customs, and it has become one of the annual food customs of the Han people since the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

But in the southeast coast, the habit of passing the day is still retained.

When the chirping birds came from outside the house and Lu Yiming woke up in a daze, Ning Xuehua was already busy. On the stove in the kitchen, mustard greens, Chinese cabbage, leeks, spring vegetables, celery, garlic, etc. were neatly arranged. These seven kinds of vegetables and thick petals.

Lu Yiming yawned and asked, "Do you want to eat Qibao soup today?"

Ning Xuehua said with a smile: "After eating big fish and meat for several days in a row, it's time to eat some vegetarian dishes."

Since it was a human day, it was natural to settle down and recuperate, but Lu Yiming didn't have to rest. After a simple breakfast, he went out and went straight to Pengrun Building.

Because of the greeting before, Lu Yiming soon saw Huang Junlie in person.

This character, who he could only see in newspapers and TV, is now standing in front of Lu Yiming.

"Happy Chinese New Year, Mr. Huang."

Lu Yiming cupped his hands as a greeting, and then introduced himself, "I'm Lu Yiming."

Huang Junlie's attitude towards Lu Yiming's visit was lukewarm. He pointed his right hand towards the sofa and said, "President Lu, please sit down. I don't know if President Lu came to see me today. What's the matter?"

Lu Yiming said with a smile: "Pengrun Electric has created a new retail model of Xiajia Electric Appliances. Of course I want to learn from it. If we can come up with such a new model, Mr. Huang will definitely become one of the representatives of the Lingdong Merchant Gang in the future." , Mr. Huang must also have a place on the [-] rich list."

Faced with Lu Yiming's flirtatious flattery, Huang Junlie was not moved at all. Instead, he replied mockingly: "In terms of making money, I can't compare to Mr. Lu. I was ranked No.6 in the [-] rich list at a young age. It’s really amazing, I can’t compare it.”

After a few words of politeness, Huang Junlie obviously had no intention of becoming friends with Lu Yiming: "Let's say, Mr. Lu came to see me during the Chinese New Year, so he didn't come to see me for tea, did he?"

Because of the incident between Zuo Chunrong and Liang Shuzhen, Lu Yiming was directly blacklisted by many people in the Lingdong Merchant Gang, not to mention he offended Li Chaoren.

As one of Li Chaoren's die-hard fans, Huang Junlie is already giving face if he is willing to meet him.

Now that Huang Junlie has said that, Lu Yiming naturally didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and directly explained the local Daoming's intentions: "Now that Pengrun Electric has opened stores all over the country, it has a good reputation and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After all, it is also a giant home appliance chain retail enterprise with a reputation. Shouldn't you pay attention to your own brand image?"

When Huang Junlie heard this, his face immediately became gloomy: "President Lu, what do you mean by that?"

Facing Huang Junlie's anger, Lu Yi was obviously not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to find fault, but recently someone from your Pengrun Electric Appliances is selling counterfeit USB flash drives. I don't know about this, Mr. Huang. Unaware?"

Huang Junlie replied without hesitation: "Is there such a thing? Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I will definitely check it out when I go back and give you a satisfactory answer."

However, how could Lu Yiming believe this obviously perfunctory rhetoric, and directly stated: "At present, only Mingyuan Technology in the world has the relevant patented technology of USB flash drives. If Pengrun Electronics wants to sell USB flash drives, we can cooperate completely. "

The implication is to let Pengrun Electric buy goods from regular channels, and don't always make fools, which will make everyone look bad.

But Huang Junlie didn't intend to give Lu Yiming this face, and played Tai Chi with him: "Let's talk about the cooperation, I'm very busy, next time I have time to drink tea."

This is obviously to bring tea to the guests, and the other party has no intention of cooperating with Mingyuan Technology.

Lu Yiming naturally understood Huang Junlie's thoughts, and when he stood up, his eyes became sharper: "Mr. Huang, as the saying goes, courtesy comes first, soldiers come first, and I have already done so when I should be polite."

Huang Junlie sneered, and met Lu Yiming's eyes without hesitation, and his tone was even more mocking and disdainful: "Then I would like to see how rude Mr. Lu will be."

Before going out, Lu Yiming took a deep look at Huang Junlie: "You will see."

When Lu Yiming went out, he met a woman who looked somewhat similar to Huang Junlie, but Lu Yiming didn't think much, and left directly.

What he didn't know was that this woman was Huang Junlie's third sister, Huang Xiuhong.

Huang Xiuhong walked into Huang Junlie's office and asked, "I saw that Lu Yiming when I came in just now. He came to see second brother, what are you doing? What happened?"

Huang Junlie said casually: "It's a small matter. It's just that someone of us is selling pirated USB flash drives. He came here and wanted to threaten me. He asked me to cooperate with him to sell genuine ones, but I didn't agree."

Huang Xiuhong frowned slightly, and asked, "Why didn't you agree? There's no need to offend a self-made rich man like Lu Yiming for this matter, right? In business, peace is the most important thing. The Lingdong Merchant Gang is a thing of the past. Lu Yiming offended Li Chaoren, so of course people from the Li family will come out to deal with him, second brother, you really don't need to be the target in front of him."

She knew that Huang Junlie was a loyal fan of the Li family, and it was well known in the circle that Lu Yiming offended the Li family, so he thought that Huang Junlie was helping the Li family to vent their anger.

Huang Junlie shook his head, with a dumbfounding expression on his face: "Third sister, your personality is really not suitable for fighting in the business field. Do you think I did this just to vent my anger for the Lingdong Merchant Gang and Li Chaoren? Wrong, big mistake Wrong, I am targeting Mingyuan Technology."

Huang Xiuhong was even more puzzled after hearing this: "You have never been in contact with it before, and you have no business dealings. What are you doing with Mingyuan Technology?"

Seeing that his third sister still didn't understand the essence of the problem, Huang Junlie had to remind her patiently: "Our Pengrun Electric is in the business of channel dealers, and the essence of channel being king is that only we can be the king and hegemony. As for those Production enterprises must obey our deployment and management."

"So when necessary, you can suppress their market share and let them know who is the one who has the final say. Do you understand now? The relationship between me and Lu Yiming is not a battle of emotions, but a battle of interests. battle."

Undoubtedly, Huang Junlie is an ambitious businessman who is mercenary and unscrupulous.

The reason why he targeted Lu Yiming was not just for personal grievances, but for greater interests, to step on the limelight of Mingyuan Technology, and to show the strength of Pengrun Electric.

As for how much damage this would do to Xia Guo's home appliance market, he didn't care at all. After all, business is all about business. As long as it doesn't violate the law, it is natural to make money.

In terms of business philosophy, many members of the Lingdong Merchant Gang have the same business experience as Li Chaoren.

As for Lu Yiming, as soon as he returned to Mingyuan Technology, Zheng Youyuan eagerly approached him and asked him about the result of the negotiation: "Have you talked with Mr. Huang? How did it go?"

Lu Yiming spread his hands together: "Well, as you can see, nothing has been negotiated."

Zheng Youyuan was not surprised or surprised by this result, but sighed: "It's almost the same as I thought, what are you going to do next?"

The USB flash drive is not only the only product of Mingyuan Technology, but also a golden rooster that can lay eggs for Youyuan Electronics Factory.Now that this golden rooster has been adulterated with impurities, Zheng Youyuan is of course very upset.

Regarding Huang Junlie's thoughts, Lu Yiming was actually very clear. After all, before he was reborn, he had seen this kind of thing a lot.

The problem of disagreement obviously cannot be resolved through verbal negotiations.

Pengrun Electric wants the channel to be the king, while Mingyuan Technology pursues the technology to be the king, and the two parties are not on the same channel at all.

Naturally, Lu Yiming couldn't give in to Huang Junlie. After all, the Mingyuan Technology he envisioned was going to take the R&D route. How could it be possible to work for the channel dealers and give them money to eat and drink?

"Since the good words have been said, the next step is naturally to do it."

"How to do it? Find someone to smash his shop?"

Zheng Youyuan's face was full of curiosity, and there was even a little eagerness in his eyes.

Lu Yiming did not expect that at Zheng Youyuan's age, he would still think so stupidly.

"What are you thinking? I don't do anything that breaks the law. It's just hands-on. It doesn't have to be rough. Don't make us look like gangsters, okay?"

Hearing that the shop cannot be smashed, Zheng Youyuan felt a little pity.

"Hey, I'm too old now. If it was before, I would have called the door a long time ago."

Lu Yiming was speechless.

People who do business these days really have a wild way, and if they can't do it, they come to fight. Could it be that this is the real high-end business war?
