Wei Yandan didn't say what happened next, but it was more than just a spectacle. After Lu Feng went silent, Elmi became the number one troublemaker in the communications circle.
"Mr. Lu, are you going to attend?" Du Guoying put down his chopsticks and said, "This banquet is mainly for the mobile phone industry, but we don't currently have a mobile phone business."
"It's nothing, go take a look!" Lu Feng had almost finished eating, looked up and scanned the table, then stared at Kevin and asked, "How's the overseas market going lately?"
“We have already established overseas branches, and our products have been reported to the customs of Thailand and Singapore. Most importantly, we have gotten rid of intermediaries such as King Cube and Beechcraft Group. Now, all our business in Africa is in our own hands,” Kevin replied.
"This was handled well. We need to focus on the overseas market, but also be vigilant. I heard that Watanabe Shi is not quite right in the head lately, so keep an eye on him. We need to be careful not only with Motorola, but also with many people who are unhappy with us. The international market is not like the domestic market. Maybe you're a white person and don't understand this feeling, but internationally, Chinese people can't do anything right now." Lu Feng instructed Kevin, "Focus on Asia first. If there are any problems, let me know immediately."
"Okay, but the issue is with the funding. The finance department wasn't very responsive during the approval process!" Kevin said hesitantly.
The others nodded in agreement, saying that the financial approval process this year had been really unpleasant; every time they went to ask for money, it felt like a fight.
"I just had a meeting with the finance department this morning. Things should be much less of a problem in the future. I'll address the high debt issue within the next month or two. I have a lot on my plate right now, so we need to take it one step at a time," Lu Feng said to everyone. "Steady and reliable, don't rush!"
"Mr. Lu, there's something I'd like to say. We've lost too much money cooperating with Nokia." Du Guoying glanced at Lu Feng with a troubled expression, afraid of being scolded. Others had also reminded him not to mention this to Mr. Lu.
"What's wrong? Just say it."
Just as Du Guoying was about to speak, Wei Yandan nudged him under the table, signaling him to keep quiet, since President Lu and Elmi had a special relationship.
"Speak!" Lu Feng urged, noticing that his expression was a little off. "Hurry up, I need to take a nap when I get back."
“I just think it’s such a bad deal. A contract for one yuan, and then a large part of our warehouse is occupied, and a lot of our store counter space is squeezed out. They don’t even bear the losses and expenses incurred by the terminal sales. We’ve calculated that the cost we bear for Nokia every day is basically around 30,000 yuan.” Du Guoying still said it, looking troubled: “The key is that they don’t even appreciate our efforts. Sometimes I even get scolded!”
"Get scolded? Who scolded you?" Lu Feng raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
“We have a relatively large store in Guangzhou, and the sales there have always been very good. At first, we set aside a one-square-meter counter for Nokia, and it sold well, so they wanted to expand it a bit. They started putting up advertising boards outside, and now it’s three square meters instead of the original one square meter.”
Du Guoying was clearly seething with anger. She put down her chopsticks and said, "Nokia used to just have a few people like Elmi, it was just an office. But after the goods arrived, they set up a branch company and brought in a woman in charge of marketing, what's her name, Manager Zhang. When the people below complained, I told them to make some changes, and then this Manager Zhang called me and cursed me out. She said that Nokia coming into our store was giving us face."
Wei Yandan leaned back in her chair, pursed her lips, and crossed her arms without saying a word. It was clear that everyone had suffered a lot during this collaboration, especially after Nokia's breakthrough victory, which made this newly formed team unusually insecure!
"Don't worry, I'll definitely get revenge for everyone's grievances. I can guarantee that we won't lose out on this cooperation." Lu Feng stood up and said, "I've finished eating. By the way, President Du, make sure to rectify everything that needs to be rectified according to the contract. If the other party insists on causing trouble and being unreasonable, smash their stall!"
