Xing Baohua hung up the phone first, thinking to himself that he would have to call the other party back in a while.
Actually, there was a small misunderstanding here, which Xing Baohua didn't explain clearly. Changhong thought that Xing Baohua had sold his most valuable pagers to Changhong Electromechanical as a package deal.
Li Xiangdong was anxious to report this important matter to the factory's Party Committee leaders.
Soon I received the important instruction: Buy.
Buy it at any cost, since it doesn't cost foreign exchange or national currency. Banks have plenty of those.
Don't they even consider who's behind Changhong Electromechanical?
We'll find a guarantor, pull some strings, and even mortgage the entire factory to buy it. We're willing to pay any price; we'll sell everything we own.
Ni Feng, the newly appointed head of Changhong TV Factory, said to Li Xiangdong, "Contact them and see when Director Xing is free so we can go and meet him together. I'll also take this opportunity to go back to my hometown."
Li Xiangdong received instructions to return to his office and call Xing Baohua's electronics factory, only to learn that Xing Baohua was away on a business trip.
Where did Xing Baohua get the call from? Who was calling just now?
Then we can only wait for Xing Baohua's call and hope that the guy really wasn't drunk and trying to fool him.
About an hour later, Xing Baohua called back as expected. He said he was currently in Beijing and would return to central Shandong in three days, and asked the people from Changhong Electromechanical to go to central Shandong in three days.
Li Xiangdong also said that their factory director went there personally.
This inevitably reminded Xing Baohua of the head of Changhong, who was known for his price-cutting tactics.
The instigator of the television price war was this guy: Ni Feng.
It's somewhat in line with fate; back then, this guy was a notorious troublemaker. He bankrupted countless small and medium-sized television factories and made a fortune from it!
Foreign manufacturers often feel that our country is backward and don't like this market, but they forget one thing: we have a huge population base here.
At that time, SAIC was forced to use market access to exchange for technology. But the same principle applies to other industries.
We admit that we lack everything – no technology, no talent.
If we send outstanding talents abroad to learn advanced technologies and then bring them back to develop and build the country, we can consider it a success if three out of ten who go abroad return.
To paraphrase Luo Daxian: Back then, we simply didn't have it. Whether it was learning, borrowing, or even stealing, it was all perfectly normal. That's why we had over thirty years of imitation.
You've given away the entire legitimate market; it wouldn't be right for you not to provide some technical support!
Therefore, motorcycles also joined the market-for-technology program.
After the motorcycle factory was established, it trained countless talents. For every person who left, it trained another. If they left again, it continued to train them. In the industry, it was commonly referred to as the "Whampoa Military Academy."
Xing Baohua was unaware that his arrival might affect the market-for-technology process.
I don't know if launching the "stirring up trouble" plan is the right thing to do or not.
In short, he doesn't want foreign manufacturers to make money in China too easily.
The "stirring up trouble" method was learned from Xiaomi and Huawei.
It was originally used by Xiaomi to deal with those counterfeit manufacturers.
We should force all those random, generic mobile phone brands and OEM phones on the market to either switch industries or go out of business.
Xiaomi's mid-to-high-end products are all from the Xiaomi flagship series, and then letters are used to distinguish the mid-to-high-end status.
Redmi was later targeted at the low-end market, mainly students and the elderly.
Anyway, it's cheap, but the configuration is low.
Huawei is the same, with four or five series. From the low-end Honor (produced by a Huawei subsidiary, which seems to have separated), Nova, the P series, and the Mate series. Not only are they dazzling, but each series also has its own versions like Youth Edition and Pro.
There are phones for every user level, ranging from budget phones to phones costing tens of thousands of yuan.
There's no need to explain the features to the customer; just ask them, "How much do you want?"
I'd like something around two or three thousand! I recommend the high-end Honor Nova series.
Looking for something around 5,000? I recommend the Pro series or the entry-level METE.
For those with a budget of over 10,000, only a specific Porsche model is available!
There are different price points, different workmanship, and different parts. What are they targeting?
Actually, many features are redundant and unnecessary, making salespeople have to memorize tons of materials. It's the kind of thing that gives you a headache every time a new phone is released.
Other manufacturers typically offer one model with two or three variants, but Huawei goes all out, releasing four or five series every year. Each series includes at least three or four variants.
However, Huawei's philosophy is to enable people from all walks of life to consume the most suitable products for them.
In other words, customers can spend whatever amount of money they can afford to buy a phone at whatever price range.
Later, Xiaomi also claimed it would surpass Huawei, and they released phones at every price point. But they lacked a high-end business phone. Is that really necessary?
Xiaomi's price is one-third less for the same configuration.
When will the fever from the equipment that's burning out come down?
Look how farsighted Xiaomi is. Their advertising slogan is "fever for the sake of fever." When the CPU can fry an egg, it perfectly matches their philosophy. Can you call it fever if it doesn't get hot?
Therefore, they all have their own unique methods, like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.
It was almost time, so Xing Baohua rented two cars and went to the School of Economics. Su Ya and her two roommates were already waiting at the entrance.
Su Ya was overjoyed to see Xing Baohua and rushed over to her, completely shedding her aloof and glamorous persona from school.
After what happened with Tang Shuo, Su Ya changed a lot. She rarely interacted with people and rarely smiled.
She always gives people the impression of being aloof and cold.
This sudden change in image surprised those who were unfamiliar with her.
Those who came out with Su Ya were all her close roommates. One was Tian Ying, who was in the upper bunk, and the other was a girl from northern Jiangsu who was in the opposite bunk.
It was only then that Xing Baohua learned that the girl from northern Jiangsu was named Xin Qian.
After getting the group into the car, Xing Baohua asked Su Ya if she looked a little thinner and if she had been eating anything good lately.
