Nan Lao said, "Mr. Zheng, you probably haven't done any export business, right? Exported goods are cheaper than domestic ones, and that's the consensus among merchants."
"Consensus?" I asked Jim. "Are your computers cheaper here, or here?"
"Of course it's our own country."
I looked at Mr. Nan and Mr. Bei.
Bei Lao said: "In fact, this is to improve the competitiveness of our products."
Bullshit competitiveness, losing money just to gain publicity after the competition?
You can compete, but you can also treat everyone equally, right?
"What? For the sake of your competitiveness, you want our country's consumers to pay for it?"
What is this? This is eating croquettes wrapped in pancakes—setting up a cannon and firing it.
"I don't agree with this. I can't let my men do this."
Elder Nan and Elder Bei looked at each other, and Elder Nan said, "Since President Zheng disagrees, then you can raise the export price."
What's going on? I'm raising the price, but you're selling it cheap? Those foreigners must have gotten their heads kicked by a donkey, yet they're still buying from us?
"What I mean is, treat everyone equally. Whatever the export price is, minus the tariff, I will sell it domestically at that price."
This time it was their turn to be unwilling: "How can we sell ours like this?"
"Simple! You can pay my price in the country."
Bei Lao stood up directly: "How can we make money with this?"
"You want to make money, okay? Foreign prices are based on domestic prices, plus tariffs. Anyway, I can't do something so shabby as this."
“Who will buy our stuff then?”
"If your products are good, why worry about not being able to sell them?"
"You are being unreasonable."
"You are bullying your own way!"
After a few arguments, the matter came to a standstill.
Finally, everyone decided to adjourn the meeting and discuss matters with the companies under their jurisdiction.
Back at the Shen Department, Jian Yaosheng told me the reason.
It turns out that this is a big game played by several companies, which is to use low prices to defeat foreign home appliance companies, and then Daxia will dominate the market.
I think I understand. Doesn't this mean that domestic consumers should bear the cost of their competition?
"Then once you become the dominant player, will you return the profits to domestic consumers?"
"How is this possible? Besides, there's no way to pay it back?"
"That's called bastard logic, bullshit chess."
