Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 641 Spring and Autumn Brushwork
Not only Lu Hongwei thought so, but actually many people present thought so.

How could Lu Yiming fail to see this?

Lu Yiming insisted on technology-oriented allocation of export quotas, which meant that manufacturers with insufficient technical reserves were bound to be at a disadvantage.

In comparison, they are more eager to change this situation - let the association modify the rules, after all, it will be easier for them to spend real money on technology, right?

However, Lu Yiming understands better that there must be no compromises or concessions on this kind of issue, otherwise the development of the color TV industry will probably return to the previous state.

Price wars can drive away foreign investment, but history has long proved that price wars are hopeless, and the development of the manufacturing industry must ultimately rely on technology.

Lu Yiming didn't care what these people thought, capital was always shortsighted, and he would never give up the sesame seeds in front of him for the sake of future watermelon profits, and he would even throw away the watermelon in the future for the sake of the sesame seeds in front of him.Lu Yiming cannot change this situation, because it is determined by human nature.

But he can stick to his original intention.

"It's only been a few days of comfortable life, and you want to take a shortcut? Are you jealous when you see Rainbow and make a fortune?"

Lu Yiming spoke in a very soft voice, even with jokes and ridicule.

His eyes swept over everyone in front of him.

Some people quickly looked away when he looked at themselves, or turned their heads or lowered their heads.But some people were not afraid at all, and looked at Lu Yiming.

Lu Yiming went on to say: "You were fighting a price war in China before, and you were desperately involved. I helped you find an export channel, and now you've all made money—of course, I'm not asking for credit. During the process, I didn’t receive a penny from any of you.”

"You are all bosses, and you are all people who say what you want in your respective companies. Now that you see that Rainbow Group has found other channels, you don't need to be manipulated by me. You feel that you have the confidence and capital to challenge me. You feel that there is a way out... ...There are actually no problems with these. However, it is impossible for me to lower my standards. I am rather arrogant, and rules are rules, and I will not change them."

A representative of a small manufacturer protested: "Mr. Lu, we are not arguing. In fact, we have lost a lot by doing this. After all, the scale of our company is not comparable to leading companies such as TCL, Skyworth and Konka. Now they are because of Advanced technology gets more shares, more funds are returned, and more money is invested in research and development to maintain advantages. Such a rule that the strong are always 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 find it difficult to do business, you don't have to do it. The door of the association is open. I will not stop anyone who wants to quit. I have no problem with you if you want to cooperate with APEX. Anyway, I will cooperate with APEX." You have no direct conflict of interest. But out of good intentions, I would like to advise you that the risk of cooperating with APEX is very high. If something goes wrong, I hope you can take care of it yourself.”

Li Dongsheng said: "Mr. Lu also has a strong network in the United States, and he must have a much deeper understanding of this APEX company than we do. Since Mr. Lu has said so, I hope everyone thinks twice. Anyway, I follow Lu closely. In general, I have no interest in this APEX company."

Dong Yahua sneered: "Your company has the most export quotas, of course you are on his side. Why don't you think about the life and death of our small factories?"

Li Dongsheng didn't bother to quarrel with Dong Yahua, he just sarcastically said: "I only know that if it wasn't for Mr. Lu, you wouldn't even get this quota. That's all I have to say, you can do it yourself."

As soon as these words came out, many small factory representatives fell silent.After all, as Li Dongsheng said, whether it is the price war that fought to the death or the current import and export trade, they are all dependent on others.Lu Yiming was willing to give them some export quotas and let them survive, otherwise they would probably have been beaten to death by now.

You can’t be so ignorant of being a human being. Making money is money making, but you have to have a bottom line, right?
After the meeting, Lu Yiming got up and left.Many attendees also left.

The bosses just got together again in private, and with Lu Yiming gone, their discussions became even more unscrupulous.

Lu Hongwei was very upset when Lu Yiming sent him out, and he said angrily, "The richest man Lu is clearly favoring the Three Musketeers of South China University of Technology. Why don't we just launch the association? We don't want to stay here, but we have our own places to stay!"

Dong Yahua is a little older than Lu Hongwei, and he is more ruthless in his life.He said with a smile: "I don't think it's necessary to quit the association, but we can talk to Ji Longfan about cooperation. In this way, the two sides will not offend others, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Others also thought it made sense and raised their hands in approval.

Li Dongsheng and the others left with Lu Yiming.

After walking out of the conference room, Li Dongsheng said a little aggrievedly: "Those companies will definitely contact APEX and want to eat both ends. These ungrateful things. Mr. Lu, do we really not express it?"

The formation of the association has regulated the domestic market competition to a considerable extent, at least it is not as chaotic as before. If there is any problem, everyone can have a place to sit down and talk about it, instead of going shopping to the end if there is a disagreement.

Therefore, Li Dongsheng still attaches great importance to the association's right to speak.

After all, although Lu Yiming is the president in name, he basically doesn't care about the affairs of the association unless he has a major event. Li Dongsheng, Chen Weirong and Huang Hongsheng are all in charge of it, and they have a lot of power in their hands. .

However, to Li Dongsheng's surprise, Lu Yiming really didn't plan to deal with this matter: "Didn't I say before that APEX is an unreliable company, whoever wants to go, anyway, don't come to the association for help if something happens. Just get started."

As for the issue of power being left behind, Lu Yiming will not be worried anymore. He has no interests in the Color TV Export Association, and he has no spare 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 lot of trouble.After all, Lu Yiming is the richest man, and the association he led to establish, in just a few months, is facing the risk of falling apart. This is a joke.Especially those who were usually unhappy with him seized this opportunity to slander Lu Yiming crazily, and even mobilized the media to chase and block Lu Yiming, intending to see his jokes.

It took a whole day for a group of reporters who were instructed to come, 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 put the microphone on Lu Yiming's face: "Mr. Lu, there are already many color TV brands in China that have cooperated with APEX. What do you think about this?"

Lu Yiming said expressionlessly: "It's just some normal business dealings. What can I do? I didn't start these companies, and I don't care who they cooperate with."

But obviously, this answer was not what the reporter wanted.He asked unwillingly: "Mr. Lu, don't you worry that the existence of APEX will threaten the Color TV Export Association? Rainbow Group has already sold products to the United States through APEX, with a profit of more than 7.5 million U.S. dollars."

Lu Yiming smiled indifferently at this, and said: "Money is money when you get it in your hands, and it is nothing more than a number lying on the ledger. Don't take it too seriously."

Hearing this, the reporters who gathered around were in an uproar.

A reporter asked: "Mr. Lu, you mean that Rainbow Group can't collect the money, right?"

Lu Yiming quickly clarified: "I never said that. Don't presuppose me a position, or I will sue you for defamation."

Everyone has heard about Lu Yiming's ability to fight lawsuits.Hearing what Lu Yiming said, everyone couldn't help shrinking their necks.

Although they wanted hot topics and crazy traffic, they didn't want to be sued by Lu Yiming.

After all, getting involved in a lawsuit is a stain on life anyway, especially if it has a huge impact on your career.

However, that's all because they didn't dare to argue with Lu Yiming on the spot. After the interview was over, the power was still in their hands, no matter how the news report was written.Moreover, the spring and autumn brushwork, a precious legacy handed down by the old master Confucius, is also played superbly by them, guided by various explicit hints, and the overall effect of the report is simply ridiculous.

For example, someone wrote: Lu's richest man vehemently denied that Rainbow Group could not collect the money.

Someone else wrote: Can Rainbow Group recover the payment in time?Lu's richest man said don't take it too seriously.

Although it seems that there is no beginning and no end, but if you interpret the text a little bit, it will be difficult not to go astray.

The key point is that Lu Yiming is still the same. After all, there are a thousand Lin Daiyu in the eyes of a thousand people. I didn’t write that in black and white. If readers think this way, what can I do?
Of course, in addition to deliberately leading Lu Yiming's topic, there are also those who criticize Rainbow Group from Lu Yiming's perspective.Anyway, the commercial media is still commercial in nature. The purpose of publishing all the news is for the sales of newspapers. Of course, how did it explode.

On the other side, Ni Runfeng, who was far away in Sichuan, was happily planning how to expand the sales scale, and he was in a good mood at this moment.

Xing Jinlong, the sales executive of Rainbow Group standing in front of him, said: "Mr. Ni, with the refreshingly low price, our Rainbow TV has a magical appeal to countless American families. In addition, it has complete functions and high quality. It is often sold out in a short time as soon as it is put on the shelves.”

Then he took out a report and handed it to Ni Runfeng, and said in a relaxed tone: "This is the sales data sent last month. I think we can work harder and try to increase sales this month." One charge."

After Ni Runfeng saw it, he was even more delighted, and praised: "Very good, continue to ship this month, double the quantity, and clear up our previous backlog of inventory as soon as possible."

Ni Runfeng has never been as happy as he is today since Xia Guo banned the listing of state-owned enterprises in [-].

As the helm of the Rainbow Group, he naturally understands that blindly fighting price wars is never the right way to open up business development. Once or twice has its merits.

However, the previous Rainbow Group had a serious backlog of inventory and the market saturation of the domestic color TV industry, so he had no choice but to make a bad move.

Now that the market to the United States has been opened, it has jumped out of the domestic quagmire immediately, and it is about to soar into the sky.

At this time, someone knocked on the door of the office, and it was the front desk who came to deliver newspapers.

"Mr. Ni, this is today's newspaper."

After all, he is the boss, and life can be summarized in a simple way: a cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and a stack of newspapers for a day.

Ni Runfeng nodded slightly, and said, "Let go of that first."

After a while, after talking about business matters, Ni Runfeng took a sip of hot tea and picked up a newspaper casually.

Upon seeing it, his eyes widened suddenly, and his face became quite ugly.

Because, the headline on the front page of the newspaper read: "Is Rainbow Group's expedition to North America a sales miracle, or a shocking hoax?"

The following is the content of the interview with Lu Yiming.

Although at first glance, the content of the interview and the content of the title can be said to have nothing to do with each other, but who is Ni Runfeng?Now it can be said that he is Lu Yiming's deadly enemy.The three sentences in this report were inseparable from the expressions "Lu Yiming said" and "Lu Yiming said", and Ni Runfeng immediately preconceived that it was Lu Yiming mocking him in public.

The more Ni Runfeng watched, the more angry he felt. It seemed that Lu Yiming was questioning the credit of APEX in the news, but in fact he was questioning Ni Runfeng's ability and vision.

After all, if Ji Longfen is really a liar, wouldn't Ni Runfeng be a second idiot?
"Lu Yiming, you are too deceitful!"

Ni Runfeng patted the table, startling Xing Jinlong next to him.

"President Ni, what's the matter?"

Ni Runfeng's face was terribly gloomy, and he threw the newspaper in Xing Jinlong's face and said, "Look for yourself!"

Then, he called his secretary on the phone.

"Contact me with the media, I'm going to hold a press conference."

Although it was a little unclear, Ni Runfeng's behavior was well known in the company, so she didn't dare to make any comments, so she hurried to contact the media.

At three o'clock in the afternoon that day, the Rainbow Group's press conference was held in the multimedia auditorium in the Rainbow Group's office building.

A group of reporters who had been hastily gathered looked a little at a loss looking at the unfurnished multimedia auditorium.

"Why did Mr. Ni suddenly want to hold a press conference?"

"How do I know? Anyway, it's news, just come if you call, and write an article as a KPI."

"It seems that this press conference was prepared in a hurry, without even a title. At least I'm sure it won't be Rainbow's new product launch conference."

A reporter who thought he knew some inside information suddenly said proudly: "Hey, you don't know that, do you? As journalists, don't you all read newspapers? There are a lot of newspapers this morning. The news about the richest man Lu and the Rainbow Group. Mr. Ni is in a hurry to hold such a press conference, it must be related to this matter."

Hearing what he said, many people immediately felt enlightened.

"It turned out to be like this. I saw some reports, and your guess should be right."

"It seems that Mr. Ni is planning to retaliate domineeringly?"

An intern reporter who didn't know the truth looked confused and asked, "What are you talking about? Has the richest man in Lu produced TV sets?"

An old bird said with a smile: "Brother, you didn't know much about our summer foreign trade before, did you?"

The newcomer smiled and handed the old bird a cigarette, and said with a curious expression: "I have only reported some local news before, and I really don't know much about foreign trade. Can you tell me about it?"

The old bird took the cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and exhaled, "Although the richest man in Lu doesn't sell color TVs, he has set up a color TV export association. If we want to sell our domestic color TV products to North America, he has to nod." OK. But now that APEX is here, and it is cooperating with Rainbow Group in a very high-profile way, it obviously broke the situation."

The newcomer is not stupid, and immediately understood: "So they fought like this?"

The Color TV Export Association has formed a certain sense of industry monopoly, at least there is such a trend, and the appearance of APEX naturally broke the original pattern.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is definitely a dispute of interests.

The old bird said with a mysterious face: "Yes, and no. You will know when Mr. Ni makes a move."

Obviously, through what happened during this period of time, many senior reporters have connected the ins and outs of the matter, and are waiting for Ni Runfeng to come with some explosive news.

At this time, Ni Runfeng appeared.

Just looking at his ugly expression, as if his parents were dead, the reporters present knew that this disturbance was serious.

And the more so, the more excited they were, and each of them began to think about how to spend this month's bonus.

Facing the crowd of reporters and media, Ni Runfeng suppressed the anger in his heart, and first said a scene: "Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come here. I invited you here today mainly because of an incident that made our Rainbow Group extremely indignant. things."

"Right now, some entrepreneurs in China don't think about how to make their products better. They just think about holding back their peers and making rumors to slander them. I think this kind of phenomenon must be curbed!"

A reporter couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Ni, are you talking about Lu's richest man?"

Ni Runfeng neither admitted nor denied, but continued: "Some people just can't see that our Rainbow Group's TVs are selling well in the American market. As for who this person is, I won't name him. I believe everyone has an idea steelyard."

Now, all the reporters knew that what Ni Runfeng was talking about was Lu Yiming.

A reporter who had met with Lu Yiming before asked, "Mr. Ni, I heard that you have signed a very strict cooperation agreement with APEX, and Rainbow Group has not yet received all the balance. Don't you worry?"
