Despite his displeasure, Vice Mayor Liu was still unsure of Lu Feng's background and who was behind him to wield such power.
“Brother Lu, what are you saying? What kind of relationship do we have? I really couldn’t do anything about that matter before. I already reported it to the leader. I stood at the office door for several hours and waited. After I finished talking to the leader, he didn’t say anything. I didn’t dare to ask.” Vice Mayor Liu said with a sense of grievance, “I really was powerless to help. But I have some great news to tell you.”
Lu Feng couldn't help but laugh after hearing his words. If it came to playing dumb, this deputy mayor was definitely a master. He asked, "Is it because of your tireless efforts that the foreign exchange indicators have finally shown any movement?"
"You know everything?" Vice Mayor Liu said calmly, "I only played a minor role. It's mainly because the leadership is so wise. I won't hide it from you. This time, the order came from above. Brother Lu, do you know the inside story?"
"There's no inside story. I just happened to run into my god-sister and called my godfather to say hello, and that's how I found out about this." Lu Feng sat there with his legs crossed and said, "That guy, I told him I didn't need his help, but it still turned out like this."
Vice Mayor Liu was startled. Sure enough, those who have reached this point are not so simple; they clearly have connections at higher levels!
"Brother Lu, why haven't I heard you mention this before?" Vice Mayor Liu said politely.
"There's nothing to mention. I think someone as upright as you wouldn't give me special treatment just because you're flattering the boss, right?" Lu Feng countered.
"That's for sure, don't worry. The foreign exchange quota will be released in the next couple of days. When you need it, you don't need to send anyone over. Just give me a call, and I'll take care of it. It'll be faster," Vice Mayor Liu said politely.
"Since you're so enthusiastic, I can't refuse. Okay, I've been quite busy lately anyway, thank you for your help."
"It's alright, we're all family," Vice Mayor Liu said warmly. "Just let us know if you need anything!"
"Okay, don't worry, I'm never polite to my brothers. Bye!" Lu Feng said and hung up the phone.
Some things are impossible for ordinary people to accomplish in their entire lives, but for some people, it's just a matter of giving a casual order. There are no difficult things in the world; the key is who does them.
With the foreign exchange quota issue settled, Lu Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Next, he needed to go to Japan and win over that woman. In Lu Feng's eyes, winning over such a middle-aged woman was not a difficult task; he believed a week would be enough.
Anyone can become arrogant, especially after a series of victories, when they start to think that small things are a piece of cake.
In the evening, Lu Feng's mother called to ask when he would be coming home.
"I'm quite busy this year, so I probably won't be going back for the Chinese New Year." Lu Feng knew that going back for the New Year would mean being surrounded by a bunch of relatives, and since he was single, there might even be a matchmaking session. He said, "We'll see then. If you have time, go back. If you're too busy, then forget it. You two still have money, right?"
“You have money. You could live a lifetime without working and still have more money than you can spend. You can come back for two days if you want. It’s not appropriate for you to be out alone during the Chinese New Year!” Mom said on the phone.
"I'm busy with work, so you guys take care of yourselves. I'm a grown man, don't worry about me," Lu Feng said evasively.
"Let's come back home. There are lots of relatives there, it'll be lively!"
"Okay, okay, we'll see. I have a meeting to attend to, so I'll have to go now. If you run out of money, remember to call me." Lu Feng said politely for a moment and then hung up the phone.
Now is the time for Weipuda TV to launch its new product, and it is also the first time that Zhu Lidong is facing the market alone. A month ago, Weipuda TV advertisements were already everywhere, and the eye-protection TV was being promoted in a big way. The main advertising battleground was in towns and villages, with wall prints covering alleys.
The TV brand's spokesperson was none other than Vivian Chow, a popular singer from Hong Kong. The advertisements bombarded local TV stations with her beautiful face, coupled with Wepuda's advertising slogan: "Eye-protecting TV, a more high-end TV, a new choice for the family, I choose Wepuda TV!"
The market was already prepared for the launch of Wepuda. A few days ago, major manufacturers launched year-end discounts, offering large-screen TVs for only XXXX yuan.
When a new product was launched and faced with price cuts from competitors of the same quality and size, Zhu Lidong's solution was to create a buying frenzy, causing shortages in stores, deliberately making people queue up, and displaying banners in various stores every day. Since there was no demand in the market, he began to create demand by focusing on appearances.
They bought headlines in local newspapers and used sensational stories to highlight the prestige associated with Weipuda televisions. For example, a wife felt she had lost face in the village because her husband wouldn't buy a Weipuda television, so she angrily remarried an old bachelor in the same village who had bought one.
On January 3rd, all stores officially started sales. As soon as the doors opened in the morning, long queues formed in front of them. The banners hanging at the entrances became the biggest signs, and passersby peeked over.
On the first day of sales, despite the price reductions and promotions from competitors, Wepuda sold 10,025 units. Everyone in the marketing department office at headquarters was celebrating wildly, like they were going crazy.
Zhu Lidong was so excited that his eyes reddened. Although this single-day sales figure did not break the previous record, he still managed to do it despite the fierce competition.
He proved to the entire market that he could break through the encirclement even without Lu Feng at the helm. At the same time, he also proved himself to the industry. Zhu Lidong will always be Zhu Lidong. In terms of the market, he can take on the entire industry single-handedly!
