That's how people are. Just when you're ready to have a big fight with someone, they start reasoning with you, and you even find that what they're saying makes sense.
My original aspirations have been shaken, and I don't know where to direct my inner strength. I feel indescribably sad.
Zhang Fengxia went upstairs to call Jiang Xiaoyan to discuss the matter. Judging from the information provided by Su Yourong, it was basically impossible to completely separate this person. She had already tied Lu Feng to her in business, and with that child in her family, it would be difficult to sever ties.
Lu Feng was still at the factory. Today was the second day of sales, and the entire factory was operating at full capacity. Zhu Lidong, Du Guoying, and Liu Cheng were all present to address product, sales, shipping, and after-sales issues that had arisen after the sales began.
All after-sales services are located in the provincial capitals of each province. The products have already been launched, but two after-sales service agencies have not yet been established because of different purchase prices, which has caused disputes between the distributors in these two locations.
"So they're just demanding to buy the goods at 2,350 yuan? Is it really necessary to hold us back at a time like this?" Lu Feng said to Zhu Lidong with a gloomy expression, "We won't tolerate these kinds of problems. You should call them directly and tell them that if they don't provide after-sales service, the distributor contract will be cancelled, and we'll recruit from the market again."
"Now is a critical time, and I'm afraid it will affect sales!" Zhu Lidong said with some difficulty.
“These distributors are all in contact behind the scenes. If we back down now, they’ll all gang up on us and drive down prices!” Lu Feng said, lighting a cigarette. “Are they going to try and force us to give them discounts? There’s no time to lose now. If I don’t establish a direct sales system starting next year, I’ll be walking downhill!”
Seeing that Lu Feng had made up his mind, Zhu Lidong immediately asked the vice president next to him to make a phone call. There are many cases now where distributors are banding together to put pressure on manufacturers. These distributors have become middlemen, profiting from both consumers and manufacturers.
"It's getting late. Let's finish this and head home. We can talk again tomorrow," Lu Feng said, looking slightly tired.
At one o'clock in the morning, Lu Feng returned home. Duo Duo was already asleep. Jiang Xiaoyan lay in bed without any signs of fatigue. After washing up, Lu Feng returned to bed and saw that her eyes were as bright as light bulbs. He said, "Aren't you going to sleep? You should pay more attention to Duo Duo lately. This child has really entered puberty recently, and seems a bit conflicted."
“I noticed. My teacher called me twice, saying I got into arguments at school and my personality has changed in the last six months. I told her I’m still childish like a little kid at home.” Jiang Xiaoyan took a deep breath and said, “You go to sleep, I can’t sleep. How are the phone sales?”
"Don't even mention it. Two distributors were causing trouble for me. I just dealt with them. We can't rely entirely on distributors for distribution channels. We must have our own direct sales channels. This is a key focus for next year." Lu Feng talked about the company's affairs for a while, then noticed that Jiang Xiaoyan was silent.
"What's wrong?" Lu Feng reached out and pulled her into his arms, asking, "What's bothering you? Did Duo Duo make you angry?"
"No!"
"Is it still about the child? Go to the US after the New Year and see what's going on there. I told you before, your problem isn't too serious. You've been recovering well these past two years," Lu Feng comforted him.
"It's not that."
"Don't make me guess, I'm exhausted after a long day." Lu Feng sat up and looked at her, saying, "Then I'll work overtime, let's have a good time together!"
"Not this one!" Jiang Xiaoyan said in a slightly coquettish tone.
"I knew it was you just by your voice. After all these years, who wouldn't know who I am!"
At 2:30, Lu Feng had already fallen asleep, but Jiang Xiaoyan was lying next to him, unable to sleep. She agreed with what Su Yourong had said, but Jiang Xiaoyan was unwilling to let her into the house.
The two originally thought Su Yourong would be their rival, but who would have thought that Su Yourong would see herself as a helper? In fact, Jiang Xiaoyan wasn't that uncomfortable with Su Yourong's arrival; whether she was herding one sheep or a flock, it was all the same.
On the phone, Zhang Fengxia was very rude to Su Yourong. She believed that Su Yourong should not be allowed to succeed, but the two of them did not have any specific countermeasures. Their only confidence now was that Lu Feng promised not to let Su Yourong enter the house, but what about in a few years?
Jiang Xiaoyan increasingly wanted to have a child of her own. A little over a month ago, she went to a hospital in Beijing for a check-up. The doctor thought she was recovering well, but if she wanted to have a child safely, he suggested she go to the United States to recuperate properly before trying to conceive.
December passed in a flash. The minor dispute with the dealers caused quite a stir in the industry. Even though the two dealers eventually backed down, Lu Feng still replaced them without hesitation.
1998 passed by so quickly that it was hard to keep up. Lu Feng felt like he hadn't done anything. He spent the whole summer busy with flood control. Then, he was on the phone one meeting after another. From design and internal motherboards to supplier procurement and distributors, Lu Feng was involved in almost everything.
During this period, we also need to pay attention to the semiconductor industry. In this year, Hurricane Capital has become one of the world's top companies in wafer manufacturing. International pressure has decreased, and the cooperation with AMD has attracted the attention of many manufacturers. In terms of R&D, we have made breakthroughs in more than a dozen core patents, and various products have officially completed iterations. We have also made four batches of centralized procurement and delivery.
In the last month, Giti Mobile received good news: in its first month on the market, under the bombardment of advertisements, monthly sales exceeded 100,000 units, and major sales stores hung up banners to promote the product.
Meanwhile, some manufacturers have resorted to all sorts of underhanded tactics, such as attacking and smearing others, having their employees buy products, damaging motherboards with unstable currents and then demanding after-sales service, and even breaking into stores at night to poke speakers and earpieces with needles.
