Lu Feng knew that the Warring States period in the home appliance industry had truly arrived. Jiafeng Electronics had already established a firm foothold in this field, whether it was Jinbao or Weipuda. The only remaining issue was product competition.
The era when Lu Feng fought with companies like Changhong and Konka coincided with the transition from black-and-white television to color television. In the following years, black-and-white television would be completely phased out, which also meant that the industrial upgrading in this area in China was completely completed.
Lu Feng has already helped the company gain such a significant advantage in the home appliance sector. As long as they don't act recklessly and proceed steadily, with the R&D company providing strong product support, there shouldn't be any major problems.
“President Lu, what I mean is, you should personally oversee this full product lineup next year,” Zhu Lidong suggested.
"I'm not interested." Lu Feng rested his chin on his hand, pondered for a while, and glanced at Zhu Lidong.
Zhu Lidong was stunned by the look in his eyes, which were filled with unease—a look he hadn't seen in a long time. Zhu Lidong took a breath and silently prayed, "Please, behave yourself. You've only had a few days of peace."
"What do you think of the communications sector?" Lu Feng asked Zhu Lidong. "Aren't Sony and Motorola doing a bit too well right now?"
These two companies are more than just riding high; Motorola is now a global leader in communications, electronics, and chips. Today's Motorola truly lives up to its slogan: ubiquitous.
Not only are the industries involved ubiquitous, but they are also ubiquitous globally. Their sheer size is such that even Samsung would have to exclaim "Good heavens!" when it sees Motorola at this point.
Sony was another massive company. These two companies were absolutely dominant in the global electronics industry in the 1990s. In terms of technology, even the United States could not match them.
Moreover, throughout the 1990s, the United States competed with these companies through government subsidies, and caught up in the early 2000s.
Lu Feng's words are equivalent to a small company worth several billion yuan holding a meeting in 2021 and saying that Huawei has been acting too arrogantly in the telecommunications industry lately and needs to be put in a good talking-to.
"Mr. Lu... what do you mean?" Zhu Lidong asked cautiously, sensing that Lu Feng was about to say something shocking.
"Regarding home appliances, we'll consolidate them next year. We'll have the business unit integrate home appliances into one company, and then I'll wash my hands of it. Next year, we should try something new. We plan to get into communications. There are three things to do next year: group formation, opening up new industries, and foreign trade," Lu Feng said earnestly.
“Mr. Lu, this amount of money might not be enough for us in the telecommunications business, right?” Zhu Lidong felt he should advise Lu Feng, saying, “I know you have the ability, and I also know that Sony and Motorola have been a bit arrogant lately. Let them be arrogant for a few more days.”
"Why wait to fight it?" Lu Feng sorted out the documents in front of him and said, "The company's talent development is almost complete. We've promoted quite a few people this year, and there are plenty of talents in all positions. I should let go of some things. After we finish dealing with logistics, we'll make a plan and have a meeting to discuss it."
Yang Yan sat in his room, staring blankly. The rain outside had stopped. This day had felt somewhat surreal to him. The dark clouds in the sky had receded, revealing a ray of sunset. The evening glow on the horizon was exceptionally red. "Red sky at dawn, sailors take warning; red sky at dusk, sailors' delight." It seemed tomorrow would be a bright and sunny day.
Yang Yan thought about the struggle between Jinfeng Logistics and Yongchang, and realized that he might have been caught in a vortex. He knew that the local bullies were different in every place, and he was well aware of how powerful they were.
The fact that Hao Zhihai was able to bring his men directly to his door today shows that he is not afraid at all. He felt that it was not safe to fight with such a person.
In terms of management, Yang Yan certainly has his own set of methods, but when it comes to fighting with others, he is cowardly as a mouse. Being in such a vortex makes him somewhat uneasy.
After Lu Feng finished the meeting, he had someone call him to his office.
"President Lu, I might not be a good fit for working here with you." Yang Yan rubbed his hands nervously and said, "I'm used to working in state-owned enterprises, the kind that's quite stable. I also want to give you some advice: don't go against them. After what happened this afternoon, they weren't afraid of you at all. If you provoke someone like Hao Zhihai, aren't you just asking for trouble?"
"I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?" Lu Feng smiled, glanced at today's date, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He had read the newspapers for the past two days, and there was no report about the rectification of the atmosphere at all!
Lu Feng frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss.
