Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 647 Where Did This Relative Come From?
Yu Jiayi led Huang Zhang to the door of Lu Yiming's office. Huang Zhang straightened up involuntarily, feeling very nervous.

After all, the one who wanted to see him was the legendary rich man Lu!
Yu Jiayi said to Huang Zhang, "President Huang please."

Entering Lu Yiming's office, Huang Zhang immediately felt a sense of intimacy.

The simple, bright and technological layout inside is in line with his "small but beautiful" concept.

When Lu Yiming saw Huang Zhang coming in, he said to him, "Boss Huang, sit down."

"Hey, okay, thank you."

Huang Zhang hurriedly sat on the sofa, raised his head and chest, put his hands on his thighs, and looked ahead.

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, just be natural. Mr. Huang, just now my secretary told you what I asked you to do here, right?"

Huang Zhang said, "I know."

Lu Yiming asked: "That's good. What do you think an electronic product needs to build a good brand image?"

Huang Zhang was speechless for a moment.

The Aegean Company he works for is a company specializing in the production of VCDs, and recently plans to cooperate with Weijian International to develop MP3 together.

This is not a track.

However, although he is still just an ordinary employee, he has always been struggling in the front line of sales, so he has his own insights and views on product management.

"Mr. Lu, I think that products should mainly rely on excellent technology and superior functions to win the reputation of consumers, rather than relying on crazy advertising to open up the market. As long as the product is strong enough, the brand image will naturally be high. Yes. Throughout history, all famous brand products rely on their strong product strength to win everyone’s reputation. Only when their skills are not as good as others, will they tell stories, feelings and background.”

Lu Yiming agrees with Huang Zhang's statement, because he has experienced many such things in the next 20 years.For example, in the car rim, those foreign brands, especially those from island countries, boasted about their own technology when domestic cars hadn't started yet.When domestic car technology catches up, they start talking about their own brand culture.

Lu Yiming was not in a hurry to affirm Huang Zhang, but frowned slightly, and asked: "But these mobile phone brands currently sold in China are relying on advertising bombardment to gain sales. Slogan, do you think they did something wrong?"

Huang Zhang said: "I think this should be discussed separately. As the old saying goes, the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but with the expansion of people's communication areas and the increasingly frequent competition of the same kind, it is very necessary to properly publicize it. It was good before. The product is not afraid of losing customers, because there is no semicolon in this one alone, but now it is the customer who chooses the product, attacking and defending the special shape. However, although advertising can bring temporary sales, the brand must ultimately rely on technology and quality to speak.”

Lu Yiming used MEIZU's MP3 in the early years, and he is very appreciative of MEIZU's philosophy.And when MEIZU launched the first mobile phone, the beauty of the design shocked the industry.

There is no doubt that the success of MEIZU at that time can be glimpsed from Huang Zhang now.

For an enterprise, Lu Yiming thinks that philosophy is a very precious culture and wealth.Only by forming one's own philosophy and knowing the direction one is pursuing can the strengths of the whole company gather together to form a joint force and compete in the increasingly fierce market.

Lu Yiming applauded Huang Zhang, stood up and said, "Mr. Huang, after this exchange, I am sure that you can lead Maomao Mobile to make the best mobile phone as I wish. Happy cooperation."

Facing Lu Yiming's extended right hand, Huang Zhang's heart was filled with the joy of his dreams becoming reality.He was so excited that he was trembling all over, he stretched out his hands involuntarily, held them together with Lu Yiming, and said solemnly: "I will definitely live up to Mr. Lu's expectations!"

When leaving Lu Yiming's office, Huang Zhang felt that his steps were erratic.

Bai Yongxiang, who was waiting outside, saw Huang Zhang coming out of the elevator, got up quickly, and asked, "Are we done? What did Boss Lu tell you?"

Huang Zhang said excitedly: "As I said just now, Mr. Lu asked me to be the general manager of his new company, responsible for the design and production of Maomao mobile phones. Lao Bai, why don't you resign and come to help me? I will let you be the general manager of his new company." Vice President."

"Ah this..."

To be honest, Bai Yongxiang was very envious of seeing Huang Zhang reach the sky in one step.

The two front-foot talents exchanged products with each other as screw men. In the blink of an eye, Huang Zhang became the general manager of the richest man. How can there be any reason for this?
Facing Huang Zhang's invitation, Bai Yongxiang hesitated.

Huang Zhang persuaded, "What about this and that? Anyway, you and the boss of Wasion International have different ideas. If you are here with me, at least I will give you a higher salary than that."

As the saying goes, people go to high places, water flows to low places, and good birds choose trees to live in. Bai Yongxiang was moved by Huang Zhang's words and said, "If that's the case, then I'd rather be respectful than follow orders."

Huang Zhang laughed loudly and said, "I believe in your ability. Together, we will punch Nokia and trample three times."

The establishment of Maomao Mobile itself has attracted great attention from the industry.After all, judging from the situation of the past few years, no matter what field Lu Yiming enters, he will not live in peace.To say that chickens fly and dogs jump is considered a compliment, and it should be more accurate to say that it is a blow to reduce dimensionality all over the field.

Today, personal communication tools represented by PHS, which are also called functional phones in later generations, dozens of brands are fighting in the Xiaguo market. Today you are a fighter in a mobile phone, and tomorrow I can block bullets and smash walnuts. This kind of slogan yelled into the air.

The sound volume of the Maomao mobile phone is the same with or without it.

Under such circumstances, Lu Yiming entered the game. In view of his brilliant achievements in the past, many people felt that there was going to be a bloodbath in the mobile phone circle, so Maomao Mobile's every move attracted a lot of attention.

As a result, in the first company briefing of Maomao Mobile, in the personnel appointment information released, the person in charge was actually a man in his twenties who had been working in the factory before.

Isn't this nonsense?
Those competitors who were originally nervous suddenly laughed so hard that their faces twitched.

"Lu Yiming thinks that with him around, it's fine to just put someone on top of the general manager position?"

"It's hard for him. Where can I find such a fairy? Or a middle school student who dropped out of school."

"C'mon, the richest man Lu entered the mobile phone industry. I was a little nervous. I didn't expect this to happen? Our price butcher casually kills him."

Those manufacturers who make mobile phones are relieved, but those consumers who want to buy mobile phones are not happy.They were full of expectations and waited for Lu Yiming to bring them something refreshing, but this appointment directly gave them a small shock.

"Let a middle school student who drives screws in the factory be the general manager? Is this back door too obvious?"

"Why don't you say that one person has achieved Taoism and ascended to heaven? It's good to know the richest man Lu. Any cat or dog can be the general manager."

"According to such a standard, I can do it if I go."

"I'm still waiting for Nokia's new model. I'm looking forward to this Maomao Mobile."

"I have used Maomao mobile phone before. How can I say it? The good product rate is impressive. I have to say that a company with a background is doing well."

Zhong Youxiang, who was full of expectations for Lu Yiming, was also dumbfounded by this result.

Although the contract stipulates that the new company Lu Yiming will take the lead, after all, in terms of shares, Maomao Electronics is the major shareholder.

Seeing Lu Yiming being so "nonsense", Zhong Youxiang couldn't help calling Lu Yiming to inquire about the situation.

"Mr. Lu, I just noticed the company's new personnel appointment. What's the matter with this general manager? Now many people tell me that you are using power for personal gain and cronyism."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Mr. Zhong, look at what you said. I paid for this company. How could I do things like nepotism? I won't be against money. I spent so much money Going in, it’s not just to throw it into the water to hear the noise, right? Don’t worry, the brand of Maomao Communication is mine now, and I can’t smash my own brand.”

Although Zhong Youxiang felt helpless, he had no choice but to hang up the phone after saying a few words.

A few days later, Lu Yiming excitedly said to Li Yiwen, "Go, accompany me to America."

Li Yiwen looked depressed: "I'm getting engaged, boss."

Lu Yiming asked, "Isn't it National Day?"

"..."

"Okay, pack up and come to my house quickly, and leave after lunch."

"Ok."

After a while, Li Yiwen appeared in Bihai Longting with a suitcase.

"I said, what are you doing in America at this time?"

Lu Yiming said, "Short US stocks."

Li Yiwen was taken aback: "I'm going, come again? You've played every share for a round, and you probably haven't recovered your vitality yet, yet you're going to play again? Are you not afraid of being shot eight times in the back and committing suicide? Let's talk , do you think people won’t guard against you? No matter how stupid a person is, it’s impossible to fall into the same pit twice, right?”

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "I'm only going to be in aviation stocks this time, I won't touch anything else."

"Airline stocks?"

Lu Yiming urged: "It's fine, it's fine, why ask so many questions? Just do as I tell you. Eat quickly, and leave after eating."

On August [-]th, Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen formed a business team and boarded a flight to the United States together.

Lu Yiming didn't want too many people to know the specific details, even Li Yiwen couldn't tell.If one less person knows, naturally there is less risk of leakage.

It is certain that you want to short American airline stocks, but you must do it smartly. It is the most stupid to do large-scale shorting a few days in advance, because you will definitely be checked afterwards, and even be blacklisted by the official American government.

Therefore, this matter must not only be legal, but also reasonable, and no one can find excuses.

After all, earning money requires adhering to the principle of sustainable development. Lu Yiming is not the kind of person who just leaves regardless. He will continue to harvest American leeks day and night in this free land. .

When the plane landed in the United States, Epstein really kept his promise and waited at the airport with his men in an extended Cadillac.

"Hi, my dear friend, I see you at last."

After seeing Lu Yiming, Epstein immediately came over and gave Lu Yiming a big hug.

Lu Yiming hugged Epstein politely, and said, "It's been a long time, my old friend. Thank you for helping me solve the problem in the Ministry of Justice."

Epstein laughed: "It's just a phone call, not worth mentioning."

Afterwards, he said slightly seriously: "I will not be merciful to those who dare to steal business from me."

Lu Yiming also laughed: "I think so too. Look how well the two of us work together."

"Yes."

Lu Yiming was taken by Epstein to the restaurant for a meal, and then went back to rest with Li Yiwen.

After sleeping for several hours, Lu Yiming just woke up and finished washing when he suddenly received a call from Ning Xuehua.

"Xiao Ming, have you been to America yet?"

Lu Yiming reported that he was safe and said: "Mom, everything is going well. Don't worry about your dad being at home. I'll be back in a few days."

Ning Xuehua said: "Okay, as long as you are safe. When I make this call with you, besides reporting safety, there is one more thing. I just received a call yesterday that your cousin was injured. In your place, take some fruit and go to the hospital to have a look."

Lu Yiming asked suspiciously, "When will our family have a cousin in America?"

In recent years, Lu Yiming found that he seems to have many relatives, all over the world, men and women, old and young.

As the saying goes, "the poor live in the busy city and no one cares about them, but the rich have distant relatives in the mountains", Lu Yiming can be regarded as truly aware of it.

Although the former Lu Yiming was said to be a rich second generation, he was actually an ordinary middle-class person, and he was nothing in Baiyun City.

But now, Lu Yiminggui is the youngest richest man in mainland Xia, this status is different.

Therefore, any ghosts and monsters with horns and horns have to be related to the Lu family even after their genealogy has been dug out.

Regarding this point, Lu Ding and Ning Xuehua were also helpless.Many relatives don't say that Lu Yiming has never seen or heard of it, even the two of them have no impression at all.

Not long ago, an old man with a white beard in his seventies and eighties came to Lu Ding's house and said that he was the uncle of Lu Ding's third aunt's nephew.

Ning Xuehua said: "It's always been there, but I didn't communicate much before. Don't worry about it so much, I'll tell you the address, you can write it down, and just bring some fruit over there to have a look."

Originally, Lu Yiming didn't want to go. After all, it's meaningless to walk with such relatives, but Ning Xuehua called from a long distance, and it seemed inappropriate not to visit, so he said: "Okay, tell me."

After the phone call, Lu Yiming called Li Yiwen who had just woken up, and said, "Come on, accompany me to St. Elizabeth's Hospital."

Li Yiwen asked: "Where are you going? Are you sick?"

"You have the disease."

Lu Yiming told Li Yiwen about Ning Xuehua's call, and Li Yiwen couldn't help complaining: "I have a lot of inexplicable relatives recently, and I'm so annoying."

"Okay, stop complaining, let's go."

Zhao Tiezhu drove the car and brought Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen to St. Elizabeth's Hospital.

In the hospital, Lu Yiming saw the so-called cousin Ning Xuehua said.It was a fat man with glasses who opened a small supermarket in the urban area.

The arrival of Lu Yiming made my uncle's family very excited.The uncle who was lying half dead on the hospital bed suddenly sat up as if he had come back to life, and said to Lu Yiming with a smile on his face: "You are Xiao Ming, right? I haven't seen you for more than 20 years. You have grown so big Now, he has become a handsome young man. Don’t you remember me? I am your cousin Lou Jianjun, and this is your cousin Lei Lansi. We hugged you when you were young.”

Lu Yiming thought to himself, thanks to the fact that you are talking about more than 20 years, it is possible to round up and see me, a young man who has just turned 30.Otherwise, it is hard to explain why we haven't seen each other for more than [-] years.

"Ah, hello."

Lu Yiming put the fruit on the bedside table, sat aside and looked curiously at this relative he had never met.

"Auntie, how did Uncle get hurt?"

Speaking of this, Lei Lansi was extremely wronged, tears came down instantly, and he whimpered and said: "Two days ago, your cousin and I were going to travel to Georgia, but after we got on the plane, we were caught The people from Beautiful Airlines dragged off the plane. We bought the tickets! We wanted to argue with them, but a group of them came and beat people..."

When Lu Yiming heard this, he almost laughed out loud.

He was about to doze off when someone handed him a pillow.

Well now, he can justifiably find trouble with Melia Airlines, and directly short this stock!
Beating passengers is also one of the traditional entertainment items of Beautiful Airlines.

In order to reduce costs, Beautiful Airlines often engages in overbooking of tickets, which means that they often sell more tickets than seats, so they don't have to worry about losses caused by refunds.

Of course, this will also cause some reserved passengers to have no seats, but it is not a big problem for Beautiful Airlines.

If there are not enough seats, they will mobilize passengers who have already boarded the plane to "voluntarily change their tickets". If no one is willing, they will forcefully "draw lots to give up seats and change their tickets".

What if the passengers don't want to leave?
Treating such "seat domineering" people, Melia Airlines' approach is not as gentle as the domestic high-speed rail police, but if you dare to be disobedient, a few crew members with fleshy tendons will come to "greeting" you and beat you up Going to the ground to get blood on your face, and then throwing you off the plane like a dead dog, this is the hospitality of Beautiful Airlines.

This time, it was Lou Jianjun who was unlucky.Although they bought tickets early, this is a great beauty, but there is no such thing as first-come, first-served.Most people in the Confucian cultural circle have the virtue of "forbearance", so Lou Jianjun and Lei Lansi were the ones who voluntarily gave up their seats by lottery.

After all, it's not their own territory. Even if they were angry, Lou Jianjun and the others didn't have the courage to ask Meili Airlines for an explanation.

However, they didn't dare, Lu Yiming dared.

I saw Lu Yiming stand up against the case and said angrily: "Cousin, cousin, don't be afraid, since I already know about this matter, then I will not stand by and do nothing! I will definitely help you get justice!"
