The people on the stage stared at Lu Feng in disbelief, never expecting him to utter such vulgar words in such a setting.
The host's embarrassment was written all over his face. He now understood why the leaders had instructed them to try to keep Lu Feng from speaking.
Lu Feng had already restrained himself, strictly following Vice Mayor Liu's instructions not to utter any profanities. He looked around the scene and said decisively, "Independent research and development is always the truest path. Relying on your sister-in-law to have a child is unreliable! Did Jiafeng acquire a dilapidated laboratory? How can such words come out of someone's mouth? Even ordinary people wouldn't dare to say such things, would they?"
"Jiafeng acquired hundreds of patents belonging to the laboratory, which involve technology patents in more than ten fields such as communications, chips, and new materials. I'm just curious, how did this talk of asset relocation, which we always talk about, come from some people's mouths?"
Liang Longyan, sitting below, looked extremely grim. Unfortunately, he didn't have the microphone. If he dared to stand up and argue today, it would be big news tomorrow. Besides, he knew he had nothing to say about Jiafeng Electronics' acquisition of the laboratory.
Some people aren't stupid, they're genuinely evil!
"Okay, Mr. Lu has also responded to Jiafeng's recent acquisition of a foreign laboratory. Now, let's talk about the market and products." The host quickly changed the subject and said to Liu Run, "Mr. Liu, Motorola is now the mainstream in the market, whether it's pagers or mobile phones. What are your prospects for the future market? What are your product plans, and what impact will they have on the domestic market?"
Liu Run took the microphone, pondered for a moment, and said, "The host asked three questions at once, which caught me a little off guard. Let me answer them one by one. Regarding the future market, Motorola has always believed that market diversification is the only way to develop. We not only need to develop ourselves, but also help our partners develop. Mutual progress is the key, and that's what we've always done. In terms of products, we will introduce more core products in the future. Starting this year, headquarters has increased its focus on the domestic market. The next five years will see explosive growth. The impact will be that our people in China will be no different from those in Europe and the United States, and they will all be able to use the most advanced electronic products."
"Thank you for your answer, Mr. Liu. It was very well said. We know that Samsung is a world leader in electronics. What are your thoughts on when Samsung will enter the Chinese market, or on the current state of the telecommunications industry in China?" The host's gaze skipped over Lu Feng and turned to Park In-dong, asking, "Mr. Park, please answer."
Park In-dong took the microphone, glanced at Lu Feng, and said, "I share the same thoughts as Professor Liang regarding the development of the domestic telecommunications industry. Just now, Mr. Lu said that he spent 400 million yuan to buy a laboratory, claiming that he bought technology. But all of that technology was outdated by the Rohm Group. What's the use of buying this technology? What's the difference between it and buying a pile of scrap metal?"
Liang Longyan sat below, quite excited, his eyes shining as he looked at Park In-dong, as if he particularly admired the young man at this moment. If no one else was clapping, he would have stood up and applauded.
The host noticed that the topic had returned to Lu Feng. This time, he didn't let Lu Feng speak, but instead looked at Ni Guangnan and asked, "Mr. Ni, what are your thoughts on this controversy?"
Ni Guangnan took the microphone and said, "I support independent development. As for what Mr. Park said, I don't agree. Only technology that we can control is real technology. Although what Mr. Lu said just now wasn't very pleasant, it was the truth. As for acquiring outdated laboratories, I think any company without a technological foundation needs a technology platform. Making further breakthroughs on this platform is a very good direction."
Lu Feng sat to the side and led the applause.
"Today we're mainly discussing the development of the domestic telecommunications industry, and in what areas international companies and domestic enterprises can cooperate," the host said, turning his gaze to Elmi, clearly indicating that it was time for her to speak.
Lu Feng couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Can I say a few words?"
"Um... Mr. Lu, we'll be speaking in turn, but you'll have a separate opportunity to speak later," the host said with a smile.
"What's the point of talking? The script is all ready, give me the topic!" Lu Feng said to the hostess.
The hostess was quite embarrassed, holding the microphone, unsure whether to hand it over. The host was also at a loss, glancing at Vice Mayor Liu in the audience.
Vice Mayor Liu rubbed his face with both hands. He should have known things would turn out this way. He was too naive, naively believing that Lu Feng would be mindful of the situation and that everyone could continue this high-level forum in a friendly atmosphere.
Vice Mayor Liu looked at the leader next to him, who waved his hand to indicate that they should continue. Vice Mayor Liu then waved his hand to indicate that the host should give him the microphone, just to see what kind of trouble he could cause.
Lu Feng took the microphone and asked Park In-dong, "What is your position within Samsung Group?"
Park In-dong was taken aback by the question and replied, "I'm the head of the mainland China office. What's wrong?"
"So, you're at most a mid-level manager, then what makes you agree with Professor Liang? Relying on foreign investment for development? What have you developed? What are your prices? I'll ask you one question: what's the price of the same model of pager in your country? What's the price in mainland China?" Lu Feng questioned Park In-dong, "What do you have to say about price discrimination?"
“President Lu, that’s not right. The final price is determined by the cost. The price is high in the mainland market because of tariffs and transportation costs. It’s normal for it to be expensive. You can’t let these foreign companies sell their products at a loss. Besides, we’ve brought advanced technology products, which is actually a form of assistance to the mainland market!” Park In-dong argued.
