As night falls, the city seems to revel tirelessly. Pattaya is a paradise for tourists, but in some private estates, it's another paradise, where extravagance and debauchery are not just a dream, but a real-life spectacle.
Money and power are intertwined, and nothing is impossible. When you stand at the top, you can indulge yourself and play as you please. Even your imagination cannot fully comprehend the chaos they create, revealing the other side of human nature to the fullest extent.
Foreign companies are running rampant in this land devoid of light industry. When capital meets capital, it only makes their sickles grow even faster.
There was a time when a distorted and heretical theory emerged online: domestically produced goods were so rubbish that they should be eliminated. As for market competition, Motorola was expensive, so Samsung would lower its prices to compete, then Ericsson would enter the market and start a price war, and finally we would rely on our huge market to make these companies rush to serve us.
That's the situation here now; they've all unanimously chosen to raise prices and force the market to compromise!
Motorola and other companies are ramping up their advertising campaigns, and unprecedented business competition is about to unfold, because a player with a different mindset has entered the capital camp.
In a bar in Pattaya, Muzha sat in a booth looking rather bored, his gaze sweeping over the scantily clad female tourists around him, seemingly not very interested.
Lu Feng was giving him a headache. Mu Zha had been out in the world for a long time, having been on the streets since he was a teenager. He had seen all kinds of people, but he was somewhat helpless in the face of Lu Feng.
We can't actually kill him; he can't afford the consequences. But threatening him over the phone is completely ineffective against him.
"I refuse to believe he can stay any longer!" Mu Zha's eyes flashed with malice. He beckoned to his henchman beside him, whispered a few instructions in his ear, and told him to make the arrangements.
...
Da Gui has been very busy these past two days, trying to find out how to get people into the banquet where Maha is. He is a tyrant in Pattaya, but in the eyes of the royal family, he is just a small-time hoodlum.
"How is it?" Da Gui asked as he answered the phone.
"It's going to be tough. You think it's so easy to get close? Let me tell you, there's a banquet at the Haile Manor in the Dasstreet district in a week. It's hosted by my uncle's friend, and military personnel will be there. I heard Maha is coming too. That's all I can do for you." The tone on the other end of the phone changed abruptly: "Da Gui, I've already taken care of this for you. You need to get my batch of goods sold at your place as soon as possible, understand?"
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Da Gui readily agreed. He needed to ask these people for help if he wanted to make contact with those higher up.
After hanging up the phone, Da Gui spat into the receiver and muttered, "What a piece of trash! He looks like a human being, but his money is dirtier than mine!!"
The next morning, major companies began their promotional campaigns. Even before the campaign started, long queues had already formed in front of the stores. Motorola claimed it was a once-in-a-century price cut, but the actual reduction was less than 1,000 baht.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, Lu Feng had just finished washing up and was about to have some breakfast when the room phone rang again. He answered, "Who is it?"
"Mr. Lu, I advise you to leave as soon as possible, otherwise your safety may be in danger..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, Lu Feng hung up the phone and went out the door to have breakfast.
Inside the private room, Lu Feng ate breakfast and asked, "How are they doing today?"
Kevin looked unwell and could barely eat. He had woken up at seven in the morning, made a series of phone calls, and the news he received left him unsure how to tell Lu Feng.
“Speak!” Lu Feng asked, raising his head.
“All their stores are packed with long queues. Over the past few years, their brand management in the local area has been quite successful. We can’t achieve that kind of brand power in the short term.” Kevin said with some worry, “There are only so many potential users in the market. They are essentially overdrawing some of the demand users in advance, so there won’t be much left for us. What’s most infuriating is that there are rumors circulating in the market today that our products were smashed because they were pirated from other companies, and that our technology is not up to standard and our products are substandard.”
"A combination punch?"
Lu Feng chuckled. They really valued him, attacking him en masse.
“You know the situation here better than I do. Do you think there’s still hope?” Lu Feng asked Kevin.
Kevin was worried. Now that the store had been vandalized, the brand reputation he had worked so hard to build was also being damaged. He sighed and said, "President Lu, if you ask me, it's really hopeless. We had just gained a foothold here. I originally planned to expand the store before the end of the year, invite some well-known local celebrities to give the brand a high-end positioning, and officially launch next year. Now, one wrong step has caused everything to fall behind, and the rhythm has been completely disrupted."
"You've lost confidence?" Lu Feng put down his chopsticks; this place was ultimately going to be handed over to him.
"I think it's better to develop a new market than to reinvest. Mr. Lu, I've been thinking about the Singapore market these past few days..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Lu Feng interrupted him, saying, "This is not the time to back down. Even if we choose the Singapore market, they will catch up. Since you think the current situation is beyond repair, then in my opinion, we should just start over!"
"Start over from scratch?" Kevin was shocked when he heard these words.
“Yes, the name Jiafeng is no longer suitable, so let’s change it.” Lu Feng had been thinking about this last night, figuring out how to quickly integrate into the local community. Faced with such a formidable opponent, this was the only option.
