"Who is it?" Zhu Lidong asked curiously, puzzled. "You didn't happen to have arrested the president of the overseas marketing department of Sony or Motorola, did you?"
“These two companies don’t have any branches here, so where am I supposed to find them? Let me tell you, it’s the overseas marketing department of the Volkswagen Group. As for whether he’s a consultant or president, I’m not quite sure, but I want to keep this person here,” Lu Feng said to him.
Zhu Lidong understood; their gang was about to get a new member.
"Is he a foreigner?" Zhu Lidong asked.
"right!"
"My English is very poor, I speak haltingly."
“He speaks fluent Chinese. Do you understand why I called you here?” Lu Feng patted him on the shoulder and said, “Come on, come inside with me.”
Pushing open the door and walking in, Lu Feng placed the water on the table and said to the two of them, "Let me introduce you. This is Zhu Lidong, our group's senior vice president, who is currently in charge of the domestic home appliance market."
"Hello, hello!" Zhu Lidong shook hands with Kevin first, and the two introduced themselves to each other. He then exchanged pleasantries with Du Guoying.
“Our company is already very large. We are the absolute leader in the mainland market and are also making efforts in overseas markets. Currently, we are competing fiercely with some companies internationally, such as Motorola, Sony, Panasonic, Siemens, and Samsung. Even if Mr. Kevin doesn’t join us, it’s not a problem. You can introduce us to some capable candidates in overseas markets,” Lu Feng said to Kevin.
Before Kevin could speak, Zhu Lidong leaned close to Lu Feng's ear and whispered in a voice that everyone could hear, "President Lu, the competition for the overseas market is fierce. The president of Sharp's overseas strategy department called me a few days ago, wanting to join us. And he's a car salesman, he probably doesn't know anything about electronics."
“It has nothing to do with the industry. I just think of him as a competitor. We are in competition with Sharp, and Sharp is even being suppressed by us internationally. What if this person has a problem?” Lu Feng muttered.
"I don't think so. Our salaries are high, over a million a year plus stock dividends. There are plenty of people eager to come here," Zhu Lidong said in a low voice.
More than a million plus stock dividends?
Upon hearing the number, Kevin's expression turned serious, and he sat there listening even more intently.
“Is a million US dollars a lot to them? Look at you, you seem so naive. I still think we should find someone more capable. After all, our overseas market is huge. People from small companies can’t manage it. You know, managing a hundred people and managing ten thousand people are completely different concepts.” Lu Feng looked at him and criticized, “You’re always like this. You’ve never met a good one. You’re always so impulsive.”
"Yes, yes, I will definitely change, but our overseas market has sales of tens of billions, and it may double this year. It's really hard to find someone who can manage such a large scale," Zhu Lidong said with a wronged expression.
"Alright, alright, let's stop here. We'll have a meeting later." Lu Feng stopped the conversation, smiled at the two of them, and said, "Sorry, there are indeed a lot of things to do at the company. The overseas market is not yet fully self-sufficient, and I still have to take care of it."
Du Guoying sat there, completely numb. The numbers Lu Feng mentioned were beyond his imagination.
"Mr. Lu, your company's products are selling so well overseas?" Kevin asked with some doubt. "Your product isn't called Jiafeng, is it?"
"It's not called Jiafeng, the TV is called Weipuda, and the VCD player is called Jinbao."
“I don’t think I’ve ever heard of these two brands in other countries, nor have I seen them advertised,” Kevin said, puzzled.
"Our company adopts a 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do' approach to product development. Unlike other international brands, we change the product name to better suit the local market every time we enter a new country. We have a variety of brands. The advantage of doing this is that we can integrate into the local market more quickly!" Lu Feng explained.
"With such a large business, you're still very low-key. I don't think I've seen you in Forbes." Kevin continued to ask.
“Mr. Kevin, I didn’t expect you to actually believe in Forbes.” Lu Feng leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile, “There isn’t a James Rothschild on Forbes, is there? He’s the one who controls the Rothschild family now.”
