"I'd like to ask Mr. Zhu, many companies are saying that whoever controls export trade will be the winner next year. I've interviewed some company leaders and they all said that the focus is not this year, but next year. So, is Jiafeng Electronics now undergoing a group-based restructuring to prepare for market changes next year?"
"Group-based development is part of President Lu's grand strategy, and it has nothing to do with next year. It's being promoted according to the development situation. Actually, we are not worried about next year. As for who controls export trade, whoever wins next year, that's probably what some people who don't understand the industry say. Whoever can provide good products to the people at low prices will be the winner." Zhu Lidong smiled and said, "That's probably what some people who don't understand the industry say. Whoever can provide good products to the people at low prices will be the winner."
"Recently, the electronics industry has been making a lot of noise, and many people in the industry joked that this is probably the most united they've ever seen in the industry. It seems like you in the electronics industry are quite good at fighting amongst yourselves," the host asked.
Zhu Lidong laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "How should I put it? Some of the methods in this industry are quite dirty. The suppression of Jiafeng Electronics has never stopped. From price wars in the market, suppression in the industrial chain, and raw materials, some second-rate media outlets have been writing those garbage articles. It has never stopped."
“Sometimes I feel angry. President Lu is alright, though. He seems to enjoy fighting with people. Actually, some of the unity is just what outsiders see. It's not that there's no unity, but maybe it only lasts for a few seconds?”
Zhu Lidong laughed as he spoke, saying, "No matter what happens outside, Jiafeng Electronics remains steadfast. Regardless of whether Jiafeng Electronics' products can reach the global market, we will applaud any other company that goes global. We hope that companies that go global will establish national brands."
...
At 9:30 a.m., the parking lot downstairs at the Jianguo Hotel was already full of all kinds of luxury business cars. Security had been greatly enhanced, and a banner hung at the entrance that read: "Warmly wish the High-end Forum on Manufacturing and Export Trade a complete success."
A Mercedes-Benz W14 opened its back door, and General Manager Liu straightened his suit and got out. Zheng Gongjian got out of an Audi next to him, looked around, and several staff members in suits guided him forward.
"President Zheng, it's been a long time!" President Liu jogged over excitedly, his face full of smiles, and extended his hand, saying, "Do you still remember me? Little Liu, the one who collaborated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences on Lenovo."
Zheng Gongjian looked at the man in front of him, paused for a moment before remembering him, and shook his hand, saying, "Oh my, it's been a long time, almost ten years, hasn't it? You're doing quite well now."
"I heard you went to Changhong. I've been wanting to see you again. In my heart, you're a senior!" President Liu said excitedly.
“The older generation is getting old, but they still have to fly all the way from Chengdu to compete with the younger generation.” Zheng Gongjian asked him, “Are you familiar with Lu Feng from Jiafeng Electronics?”
Is it cooked?
General Manager Liu coughed and said, "I'd say we're fairly familiar. We have some staff members working with us, but we're not really enemies, just some minor squabbles."
The two chatted about the past and the current development of the home appliance industry.
The scene was already bustling with people, who gathered in small groups exchanging pleasantries. Many of the trading agents were actually short of goods all year round, and they were also competing internally, secretly contacting international buyers in an effort to bring these manufacturers under their control.
In the media, these two factions seem to be irreconcilable enemies, but in reality, they are extremely polite to each other when they meet. With the arrival of President Liu and Zheng Gongjian, Zheng Gongjian, as a senior entrepreneur, has considerable influence.
Upon entering the venue, Zheng Gongjian was greeted by voices from all directions, and he responded to each one.
Feng Zhiyao drove into the parking lot and, seeing so many cars, said to Lu Feng, "Brother Feng, do you think this forum was useful today? With so many cars, there must have been quite a few people here."
“If it were useful, what would be the point of calling it a forum? It would be called a meeting!” Lu Feng said, pushing open the car door. “Everyone is just arguing on the surface, but the real killer moves have already been prepared. Remember, what you can say out loud is all nonsense; what you need to do is what you whisper in private.”
As Lu Feng spoke, he got out of the car, and a group of staff members came over.
“Jiafeng Electronics, Lu Feng!” Lu Feng said thoughtfully.
"This way, please!"
Guided by the staff, Lu Feng walked towards the hotel lobby, where reporters were already waiting and snapping photos right in his face!
