At 10:30 a.m., Du Guoying officially announced that Jiaxun pager sales had exceeded 30,000 units, achieving significant sales results and market recognition.
This news caused an uproar throughout the industry. In this day and age, no one really knows how much of the data compiled once a day is actually fake. How can store sales data be gathered in just a few hours?
Immediately, people in the industry spoke out, condemning Jiaxun Technology for data fraud. Whether it was television or telephone interviews, plus the incident caused by Lu Feng yesterday, which was the latest development, the popularity of Jiaxun pagers was absolutely top-notch.
Especially among people in the industry, everyone seems to be talking about this product. Employees in the company are all discussing the relationship between Elmi and Lu Feng, as well as the authenticity of the sales data.
Kevin paced back and forth in his office, furious. He had thought Lu Feng was capable, but after all that effort, he was just releasing fake data.
Du Guoying tidied up the documents on the table. He had a lot to do today. He looked up at Kevin and said, "Can you stop wandering around?"
"He's completely shameless! Who would believe these sales figures if he released them? It's become a laughing stock!!" Kevin clapped his hands in exasperation. "He's slapping himself in the face repeatedly! During the New Year, he was bragging to me about his abilities, making it sound so impressive, talking about advertising and styling. And this is it? Huh! This is it?"
"No one can win forever!" Du Guoying was a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to comfort Kevin, but he called the directly operated stores below to ask about the situation, and the actual sales data was quite dismal.
"Incompetent! Playing such tricks is utterly shameful!" Kevin cursed angrily. He had high hopes for Lu Feng, but the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment today. Generally speaking, on the first day of listing, due to the previous advertising and marketing, a large number of people who are very willing to buy will be accumulated.
It was a peak in sales after the product was launched. He thought it would be as high as the Himalayas, if not as high as Mount Everest. But now, damn it, it's as high as a grave!
It wasn't just Kevin who was cursing; Mr. Feng learned of the sales exceeding 30,000 immediately. In his study, Mr. Feng threw down his calligraphy brush, put his hands down on the table, and remained silent.
Zhenkun stood there, the atmosphere somewhat stiff, and said, "This data is definitely fake, and ridiculously fake. Not only was the industry on the mainland shocked, but people in Hong Kong are also saying that his eagerness to release fake data makes it seem like he's powerless to do anything about it."
"He spent hundreds of millions of my money and all he got was this pile of junk?" Mr. Feng took a deep breath and said, "Go ask him, I want an explanation."
"As soon as this data came out, people across the Taiwan Strait and in Hong Kong were talking about the same thing."
"What?"
“He’s run out of ideas! Lu Feng has only encountered domestic companies before. This is his first time facing foreign companies in the pager market. As long as Motorola can supply the products and lower the price, there’s nothing anyone can do. Their brand power is undeniable!” Zhenkun pondered for a moment and said, “Many people are saying that this is the ceiling of his abilities!”
"Let's try to contact him first. If we can't overcome the foreign investment problem here, then I'll just call it quits while I'm ahead," Mr. Feng muttered to himself, picking up his brush again, but his mind was no longer on painting.
At the same time, Su Yourong was also called over by the board of directors. United Capital invested in Jiafeng Electronics through a debt-to-equity swap via a bank, but when they invested, they hoped to see high growth and high valuation to attract more capital.
However, Lu Feng's move has caused many people to worry that if Jiafeng Electronics is unable to open up new markets, its valuation will stagnate or even decline, investors will be disappointed and may withdraw, which would be the beginning of a nightmare.
Su Yourong got scolded, but kept assuring everyone that there would be absolutely no problem.
After leaving the conference room, he turned around and called Lu Feng.
The group headquarters operators were overwhelmed with calls from all sorts of people, creating a chaotic mess. Meanwhile, many unexpected incidents occurred at the sales outlets: some people got into fights because of queuing, and others brought their lovers to buy pagers only to find their wives and brothers also queuing. All sorts of news were exploding in a chain reaction, with news about Jiaxun pagers constantly bombarding the ears of ordinary people.
Lu Feng returned to headquarters at around 11 a.m. He was just about to grab a quick bite and get back to work when an assistant ran over and said, "Mr. Lu, you're finally back."
"What's wrong?" Lu Feng asked, looking at her panicked face. "Did the house collapse? Or is it on fire?"
"No, we've been getting a lot of calls for you. Investors are calling, hoping we'll provide them with accurate data," the assistant replied.
"Tell them that all the data will be reflected in the quarterly and annual reports, and not to bother me at this crucial moment!" Lu Feng said irritably, "It's already like this after just going public today? They can't even keep their composure!"
"Some people were even cursing and saying that if it didn't work out, they would withdraw their investment."
"Let them leave! Do whatever they want, I'm not answering their calls." Lu Feng said, then walked towards the cafeteria.
Inside the private room, almost everyone was present. Du Guoying had just called the TV station to announce the latest sales figures, and everyone sitting together seemed a little disappointed.
In the past, product launches always resulted in meteoric success, but this time it was quite unusual. Coupled with the increasing discussions about Lu Feng's creative decline, everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
Pushing open the door, Lu Feng walked in. People greeted him, and Lu Feng sat down and said, "You all eat here. President Du, have the data from noon been released yet?"
