Lu Feng's words were undeniably arrogant. Enfan's high-end TVs were now ubiquitous in major cities, priced as high as 8,999 yuan, but monthly sales had already exceeded 3,000 units, which was a very good start.
But Jiafeng Electronics hasn't even produced a single product yet.
"Previously, Mr. Lu did not agree with Mr. Jiao's high-end approach, but now the sales are quite good. This is similar to the software we write. For example, the software we write costs more than 3,000 yuan to buy a set, which is considered a sky-high price. But some things are destined to be niche."
"Televisions are not a niche product; they can only be for the masses. There are two kinds of people in this world: one kind relies on the existing market to increase the unit price and thus increase profits, and the other kind expands the market. Please believe that tomorrow will be better than today, and the people of tomorrow will be richer than they are today."
Lu Feng looked at everyone present. They were all pioneers. When 99.9% of the people in the country didn't know what the Internet was, they had already started writing code.
“If something cannot go from niche to mainstream, then it is bound to die. This applies to any industry. I can assert here that color TVs will become an essential appliance in every household, just like sewing machines and bicycles are now. Even computers and the internet will no longer be mysterious and will enter thousands of homes.” Lu Feng said in a deep voice, “We must firmly believe that one day our lives will surpass those on the other side of the ocean, and that day will not be far off.”
Lu Feng's forward-thinking words shocked everyone present. Everyone present knew what developed countries were like. If China's population reached the level of developed countries, then its consumption power would give rise to a large number of crazy companies.
Even the most expensive items become dirt cheap once mass production is achieved!
"What Jiafeng Electronics wants to do is to make the first color TV for young people when they get married. We want to invade rural towns and villages, first crush those assembled and pieced-together TVs, then industrialize and scale up, fight against Panda, Skyworth, and Changhong. We'll beat up these state-owned enterprises one by one, using low prices. TVs are too expensive now," Lu Feng said earnestly.
The room was completely silent; everyone present stared at Lu Feng as if he were a madman.
He wants to beat up every single television manufacturer in the country.
This is not something an ordinary person would dare to say. State-owned enterprises still constitute the majority of society. As for the price of televisions, it is constrained by factors such as raw materials and manufacturing processes, and also by the unwillingness to lower prices.
The market is very delicate now. Grain coupons and cloth coupons have been abolished, but the lifeline of the market is still in the hands of state-owned enterprises. These people are unwilling to engage in market competition, and the cheapest TV set is still over five or six thousand yuan!
"I had only heard that Director Lu was unconventional before, but after hearing what you said today, I've truly broadened my horizons. There's been a lot of discussion about you these past few days, with many saying that you can't make any waves. I used to think so too, but now I agree with that article in the Science and Technology Daily: the industry disruptor has arrived." Qiu Bojun said to Lu Feng with great admiration.
Lei Jun, standing to the side, smacked his lips, seemingly marveling at Lu Feng's grand gesture, and said, "This feeling of disrupting an entire industry is incredible, incredible..."
Lu Feng laughed when he heard his accent, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take life and death lightly, if you're not convinced, then fight. Remember, your competitors are idiots!"
The meal lasted until after 3 p.m., and they talked a lot about the Internet and IT industry. Lu Feng knew that these people were not at the forefront of the Internet, but rather Lei Jun later founded Xiaomi!
After leaving the restaurant, Lu Feng went back to rest before preparing for tonight's banquet. Qiu Bojun told him that there would be over a hundred people tonight, all of whom were top figures in the industry, as well as many heads of banks and investment funds.
Back at the hotel, Jiang Xiaoyan turned on the TV for Duoduo to watch cartoons and said, "Sometimes you shouldn't be so blunt, it's easy to offend people!"
"I'm not afraid of offending people. If they need something from you, they won't dare say anything even if you offend them. If there's no mutual benefit, then so be it!" Lu Feng said, lying on the bed and looking at the oppressive sky outside. "It wasn't easy to come all this way!"
Lu Feng was quite looking forward to tonight's dinner, especially after meeting figures like Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun. He knew that this place was full of talented people, and what Lu Feng lacked most right now was talent.
Although Zhang Fengxia is a returnee from overseas and has been working alongside Lu Feng for almost a year, she has been quite efficient lately. However, it is unlikely that she can manage such a large company all by herself.
Lu Feng also needs a management talent, someone who is ambitious and driven in the market. He originally wanted to bring Lei Jun over, but then he thought that Lei Jun was still young and mainly focused on programming.
Tonight's banquet is destined to be filled with a war of words. Lu Feng did not let Jiang Xiaoyan go. It was past six o'clock in the evening, and the sky had completely darkened. Although it was just the beginning of spring, the cold air had nothing to do with spring.
The hotel was the China World Hotel. When they went downstairs, three black BMWs were already parked there. Gao Zhiwei and Johnnie To were both there. Someone opened the car door, and Lu Feng got in.
Gao Zhiwei, who was sitting on the other side, got into the car and asked, "Mr. Lu, what did we talk about at noon?"
"Internet, IT!"
"What is the Internet?" Johnnie To asked, looking completely bewildered, sitting in the passenger seat.
Lu Feng wanted to explain to him, but after thinking for a moment, he felt that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he said, "It has nothing to do with you. Have you ever been in contact with anyone from Lenovo?"
