Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Lu Feng took a deep breath and looked down. He saw familiar faces like Li Quanliang and General Manager Zheng in the crowd.
The other person was also staring at him.
"Everyone is in a state of high spirits right now. Tonight, he has no other option but to refund a portion of the money to the distributors to reduce their pressure."
"Mr. Zheng, what would you do if you were in that situation?"
The thought of so many of his distributors gathering together, demanding refunds, sent chills down Mr. Zheng's spine. No company could withstand such a situation.
It's normal for Zhang Fengxia to be scolded earlier. Lu Feng is just trying to calm people down temporarily with one sentence. After all, Weipuda TVs are really hard to sell. Other manufacturers' new models are about to be launched after the New Year. With so much stock stuck in the market, they might all end up stuck with nothing.
"We went through 1992 together. We gained a lot that year, but we also encountered many setbacks. Jiafeng Electronics rose to the occasion and created a miracle in just one year!"
Holding the microphone, Lu Feng declared in a powerful voice: "Behind this miracle lies the testament to the efforts of each and every one of us. Although the road has been full of hardships, we have taken one step at a time and arrived at where we are today."
"I know that Wepuda's sales are declining, that's a fact. Compared to the first half of the year, especially the crazy sales in the summer, it seems we've hit a bottleneck and encountered setbacks. But can these setbacks make us back down? No way!!"
"What are you? You are the people who create miracles, you are the most lovable people in the world, you possess wisdom, diligence, courage, and a spirit of facing difficulties head-on without fear of hardship!"
"Many people say that Jiafeng Electronics is where it is today because of me. At first, I believed it. But one day I went to a Weipuda sales store. That day I saw salespeople, store managers, and the general manager of the distribution company all on the front line. They patiently explained Weipuda TVs and conveyed Weipuda's beliefs and values."
"At that moment, my eyes filled with tears. Right across from our store were Changhong and Konka stores. What were those employees doing? Eating sunflower seeds and chatting idly. In that instant, I understood that I, Lu Feng, was nothing. Jiafeng Electronics got to where it is today because of you!"
"You are so dedicated and patient with your customers; you have created a masterpiece of human love!"
Lu Feng took a deep breath, looking extremely agitated, and said with a slight sob in his voice, "It's the 'Jiafeng people' who work so hard every day, yet they've placed the sales targets on your shoulders! When I heard about this, I was furious!"
“I was on a business trip in Hong Kong at the time. I immediately called the head of the marketing department and opened the return channel. Sales were obviously not good, but they still wanted to push the price down. Is this something a human being would do?”
"But I didn't expect that he wouldn't do it the way I wanted. Today's dealer conference is something I, Lu Feng, have failed you all for. I sincerely apologize to the brothers, sisters, and families who are fighting on the front lines of sales!"
"I was wrong!!!!"
Lu Feng stood in the center of the stage and bowed deeply.
The entire audience was deeply moved!
Everyone is kind-hearted. When we wanted to return the goods, the marketing department made all sorts of excuses, which made us increasingly angry. Unexpectedly, the big boss apologized directly, and so sincerely.
Looking at the changing expressions on the faces of the people around him, Li Quanliang said, "This guy's got a silver tongue!"
"I'm afraid we can't return this order today," Mr. Zheng said worriedly.
"Can't I get a refund? Impossible, that's money!"
"These people stopping ordering goods means Lu Feng has failed." General Manager Zheng is a seasoned veteran; he's seen it all.
Lu Feng bowed deeply for thirty seconds, then stood up and said, "This situation is entirely caused by Zhu Lidong from the Marketing Department. He dared to make things difficult for the people Jiafeng Electronics loves most. I cannot tolerate him. Bring Zhu Lidong up here!"
Zhu Lidong steeled himself and went up to the stage. Standing in the middle of the stage, he didn't dare to look at Lu Feng and kept his head down without saying a word.
"Give him the microphone!" Lu Feng asked Zhu Lidong, "Did you completely disregard the feelings of all the distributors and force them to stock up in order to meet your year-end targets?"
"President Lu, I also have performance targets and goals, and I was hoping to do well this year. I'm sorry, everyone." Zhu Lidong bowed to the crowd.
"Alright, now we've found the culprit who ruined our relationship. What do you all think we should do with him?" Lu Feng said emotionally to everyone, "He's the highest-ranking manager at Jiafeng Electronics, second only to me. He's the second-in-command in the company and the head of the marketing department. No matter how high his position is, if he makes our distributor brothers and sisters unhappy, he'll be in big trouble. I, Lu Feng, can live without a CEO, but I can't live without you all!!!"
"Deduct his pay!!" someone shouted from below.
"Deduct his pay? That's too lenient on him. Someone like him deserves to die!" Lu Feng stared at Zhu Lidong and said in a deep voice, "Let me tell you, you're fired. You won't get a penny of salary or bonus, and all your shares will be taken back."
"President Lu!!" Zhu Lidong looked up, his expression full of panic, tears and snot streaming down his face. He said sadly, "It hasn't been easy for me either. I haven't had a good night's sleep in a year. When we were conquering the Sichuan market, I was drinking with people, looking for people everywhere, and I was so worried that I was losing clumps of hair. After a year at Jiafeng Electronics, I'm almost turning from Fei Xiang to Ge You!"
"I have elderly parents and young children to support, and they all depend on me. If I lose this job, my whole family will starve this Chinese New Year!!"
