The meeting lasted all afternoon, and the overall plan was quite good. Zhu Lidong was in charge of the market channels, and to facilitate communication between the two parties, Zhu Lidong sent a team to be stationed here.
Lu Feng separated the market channels from the mobile phone company mainly to prevent any single entity from becoming too dominant and creating factions within the group. Ideally, all the major businesses should be intertwined and mutually supportive.
Even so, there were still many instances of mutual bickering. Du Guoying privately complained a lot about Zhu Lidong, believing that he was not paying enough attention to the mobile phone channels. Zhu Lidong said that Du Guoying's demands for progress were too fast, and they simply could not meet them.
In the short term, such checks and balances can maintain a balance, but Lu Feng understands that if he wants to grow bigger in the future, he must split up the group and have the entire group compete on performance by project groups.
After the meeting ended, just as Lu Feng was about to get up and leave, Du Guoying whispered, "President Lu, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with."
"Me?" Lu Feng looked at him with some surprise and said, "Tell me about it."
“Foreign brands now have a huge market share in China, and it will be difficult to reverse the situation in terms of public opinion in the short term. We need an influential figure to step forward, engage in a verbal battle with them, and make our brand occupy the headlines for a while,” Du Guoying said.
"You mean you want me to go out and curse Motorola?" Lu Feng asked.
"My idea is that you can go out and yell at whoever you see!" He also felt that this request was a bit excessive, and smiled awkwardly.
If this had happened a few years ago, when he was just starting out in the television industry, Lu Feng would definitely have accepted this request without hesitation. Back then, he was an unknown nobody, and he wanted to stand out.
Now that he has more identities and titles, he has become more refined in his speech, let alone cursing. However, when it comes to choosing between money and face, Lu Feng's choice has always been consistent.
"Then leave this to me. If there are any mobile phone or communication-related events recently, you can help me get in touch with one," Lu Feng agreed.
Du Guoying was quite surprised that Lu Feng agreed so readily, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
The next day, around 9 a.m., colorful ribbons were hung in the Giti Industrial Park, a red carpet was laid out on an open space in the park, a temporary stage was set up, and thousands of employees were gathered together.
Although it is late autumn, the weather in Shenzhen is not too cold. Today, the weather is sunny and the earth is bright. In the media area next door, long lenses and microphones have been set up. Not only local TV stations, but also CCTV and some important media have come to interview.
Don't think that a small mobile phone can attract much attention. Giti Mobile is now an important industry in China, and with Lu Feng being such a prominent figure, it is bound to cause a sensation.
After the opening ceremony concluded, Mayor Zhang delivered a speech, followed by Lu Feng's speech. The ribbon-cutting ceremony officially began at 10:00 AM, and the first phase of the Jiatong Industrial Park was completed amidst applause.
Amidst the constant clicking of camera shutters, Lu Feng smiled. A reporter then asked, "As the second mobile phone company in China, what are your thoughts on Bird?"
"We are the first. Giti mobile phones are essentially a continuation of Jiaxun mobile phones. We are the first domestic mobile phone manufacturer!" Lu Feng said earnestly.
"So, in Hangzhou, they are currently promoting PHS (Personal Handyphone System), which is cheaper. Mr. Wu said before that this will be an important starting point for wireless communication in China, and the PHS model will completely change gS1M. He said that this kind of technology is more suitable for our country. What do you think about this?" another reporter asked.
Lu Feng was highly skilled at stirring up trouble. He smiled faintly at the question and said after a while, "To be honest, technology like PHS phones is really a piece of crap. Please allow me to use such words to describe it. The international standard wireless communication technology is GS1M, which is the 2G we use now. Some people in our country pick up some foreign garbage and then brag about it. I'm embarrassed to say it."
“We have more than a dozen R&D centers around the world. We have cooperation with international companies such as Nokia and Sharp, and we will even cooperate with companies like Toshiba in the future. I am a rather introverted person. Our company’s technology is definitely far ahead of other companies in China.”
"I really don't know where some companies get their confidence from. They compare themselves to us in terms of product technology, quality, and service. The reason I created this brand is because I just couldn't stand it anymore. Let's not even talk about Bird or Xiaolingtong. Motorola's best-selling phone this year, the GC87C, is that the model?"
Many reporters nodded.
"That phone sells for 4,200 yuan. To be honest, it's a piece of crap in terms of workmanship, quality, signal strength, and storage. We need to bring down the price and improve the quality."
No matter how sharp the reporter's questions were, Lu Feng's answers were often more eye-catching, listing all the mobile phones currently on the market, even including Nokia.
When facing CCTV reporters, Lu Feng emphasized the R&D capabilities, boasting about all the technologies he could boast about, and stated that the era of domestically produced mobile phones had begun.
As the media reported on it, ordinary people didn't react much, but the mobile phone industry was in an uproar, with endless ridicule directed at Lu Feng.
Some even publicly stated that Lu Feng is no longer the attention-seeking Lu Feng of yesteryear, and that he shouldn't use the same old methods from the television industry, as it would only lead to self-defeating results. They suggested he should face the gap and learn more from foreign companies. Some even attributed Lu Feng's arrogance to Chinese culture.
The announcement of a number of companies participating in the November 1st Communications Industry Conference, including Hurricane Capital, has sparked a new round of discussion.
