"No, no, I don't deserve it." Lu Feng released his grip and asked, "How was it?"
"Sales at the Supply and Marketing Building have always been very good, and we've chosen the best location, so there shouldn't be any problems. A few people have already come to inquire and then went to look around at other counters." Zhu Lidong glanced around and frowned, saying, "President Lu, isn't our discount a bit too small? Everyone else is offering 29-inch models."
Lu Feng nodded slightly. The people who had been following him glanced at him and then went to other counters.
"Put a sign at the entrance and stick those coupons on it!" Lu Feng added after saying that, "There's a code inside after you scratch it off. We'll accept any discount amount, you know?"
Zhu Lidong instructed a few people from the marketing department to stay behind to help with promotion, such as distributing flyers. After they finished, he came over and asked, "Do we still need to set up the display cases?"
"No need. It's not a matter of setting up the store now. We need to increase advertising and instill in the public that our brand is just as strong as those counters!" Lu Feng looked around. The owner had already placed the coupon sign at the entrance. A few people came in, glanced at it, and went inside.
This scene made everyone at Wepda feel awkward, while nearby, Konka employees covered their mouths and laughed.
"We need to improve our services. If we can deliver to your door, we should do so. We need to make proper arrangements for townships, and how many delivery points are there in the city?"
“Eight points. I’ll send other people to check those areas, and the surrounding counties have also sent people. We can’t overlook the townships either!” Lu Feng turned around and said, “I’ll go check the counties and townships.”
Lu Feng spent the whole day visiting several sales points in the city and going to two surrounding counties and five townships. Some channels had not yet been established, and they had only just started purchasing goods today!
At the same time, some advertisements began to be painted in the countryside. The publicity was nothing more than spending money to put the advertisements in front of people's eyes every day. After a period of time, they would naturally take root in people's hearts. This was a subtle and gradual process.
As evening fell, Lu Feng returned to the factory, completely exhausted. The sales reports from all the sales outlets showed zero sales; not a single unit had been sold on the first day of sales.
During the evening meeting, everyone present hung their heads and remained silent, while Zhu Lidong sat there with his back straight, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
The first battle was difficult to fight, let alone in such a situation where enemies were everywhere. Any problems that arose were not due to Zhu Lidong's lack of ability.
"Everyone worked hard today. That's how it is when you expand the market. Keep up the good work and do a good job with the publicity. You can hire people to perform lion dances, play drums and gongs, all sorts of things. Just make a big splash." Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm was not very high, Lu Feng said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once we sell the first unit, we're not far from selling the ten thousandth unit. Meeting adjourned. Get some rest."
Lu Feng stood up and went back to his office. Only then did the people in the room stand up and go outside, where they began to whisper among themselves.
"Is this Mr. Lu just a figurehead? The pricing is clearly problematic."
"Yeah, even the salesgirls there told me, 'Only a fool would buy our TV, a 27-inch new brand for 4,500?'"
"We were all talking about doing a market research report a while ago, and we ran ourselves ragged, but it was all for nothing!"
"I heard that General Manager Zhu is quite capable. He used to be the CEO of a large group. He invited him here, but he doesn't let him do any work. It's really interesting."
"I think this factory is in trouble. The daily expenses are huge. Even if they sell a few units, if sales don't go well later, they'll definitely have to lay off employees."
"Who cares? Let's just take it one day at a time!"
People in the market have become somewhat distrustful of Lu Feng. They whisper among themselves, saying that not only they, but even his competitors find it unbelievable that he delivered a zero-scoring performance on the first day of the new listing.
Jiao Enfan sat on the sofa, beaming with joy. The news had already spread throughout the industry. He said into the phone, "If you ask me, this is his true level. That guy just got ahead by luck. He really thinks he's got some skills. This time, he's not only going to bankrupt the electronics factory, but he might also lose the remaining 30% of Jiaming Foods' shares!"
