Jiang Tingchen also leaned in close to the phone and asked softly, "Do you have any exact data?"
"Yes, and we also found that they concealed this defect in their publicity and exaggerated the performance parameters."
Ning Nanxue hung up the phone and turned to Jiang Tingchen: "I have to go to the company immediately."
In the office, the market research team presented detailed survey data to Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen.
"We compared three sets of Hongtai products, and all of them have the same problem." Secretary Chen pointed to the chart on the screen. "To reduce costs, they used inferior heat dissipation modules."
"This explains why they were able to seize the market with low prices," Ning Nanxue examined the data. "They sacrificed product quality and safety."
Jiang Tingchen tapped the table lightly. "Hongtai claims 'long-lasting and stable performance' in its advertisements, which clearly constitutes false advertising."
Ning Nanxue pondered for a moment and said, "Secretary Supervisor Chen, I want you to form a special team to collect more evidence, especially feedback from actual users."
"It has already started, Mr. Ning. We have contacted several customers who purchased Hongtai products early on, and they have reported similar issues."
Ning Nanxue turned to Jiang Tingchen: "How should we use this information?"
"Two parallel paths." Jiang Tingchen sketched a rough outline on the whiteboard. "Internally, we'll accelerate the optimization and upgrade of our products, emphasizing safety and reliability. Externally, we'll expose Hongtai's quality issues in a timely manner, but in a subtle way."
"Just report them for false advertising?" Secretary Chen suggested.
"That's too direct." Ning Nanxue shook her head. "We can first contact those major customers who are affected and remind them of the security risks through technical consultation."
Jiang Tingchen added: "At the same time, we can publish industry safety standard articles through third-party technical media to guide the market's attention to such issues."
"Let the market discover the truth on its own." Ning Nanxue nodded in agreement. "It will be more convincing than us directly accusing them."
"I agree with this strategy." Jiang Tingchen stood by the window, the sunlight outlining his tall figure. "Let the facts speak for themselves. We just need to add fuel to the fire at the critical moment."
The conference room fell into a brief silence. Secretary Chen sorted through the documents in front of him and asked cautiously, "Mr. Ning, these data show that after 48 hours of continuous operation, the temperature of Hongtai products exceeds the safety standard by nearly 30%. How do you think we can exploit this weakness?"
"First, confirm the accuracy of the information." Ning Nanxue stood up and walked towards the projection screen, analyzing the data charts. "I want to see the complete test report, including the operating status under different environments."
Jiang Tingchen approached Ning Nanxue and said in a low voice, "Xue'er, this is most likely related to Fu Chen. They obtained our technology, but failed to fully understand the balance between them."
"Typical case of picking up something ready-made." Ning Nanxue's lips curled up with a hint of coldness. "Taking the blueprint but not being able to produce a quality product is the consequence of being too eager for quick success."
Secretary Chen carefully interjected, "We've already contacted three major customers, and they've reported problems after just one week of use. The largest customer just filed a quality complaint with Hongtai yesterday."
Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen exchanged a tacit look.
"Secretary Chen, please arrange for a technical support team to contact these customers under the guise of 'industry exchange.'" Ning Nanxue said calmly, "Don't discredit Hongtai. Simply demonstrate the security and stability of our products."
"I understand, President Ning." Secretary Chen quickly took notes. "Also, the industry association is holding a safety standards seminar next week. Do you want to—"
"I'll go," Jiang Tingchen suddenly said. "I can participate as Huayun Group's technical advisor and guide the discussion towards product safety assessment standards."
Ning Nanxue was slightly surprised: "Are you sure you want to attend under the name of Hua Yun?"
"I'm just a technical consultant. I won't attract attention." Jiang Tingchen said gently, "Besides, safety standards have always been an area we attach great importance to. I won't arouse suspicion."
Secretary Chen was packing up his documents and preparing to leave when Ning Nanxue stopped him, "Secretary Chen, we're not attacking our competitors. We're protecting industry standards and consumer rights."
After Secretary Chen nodded and left, Jiang Tingchen closed the door of the conference room and said softly, "Xue'er, there must be Fu Chen's shadow behind Hongtai. He knows our technology too well, but not enough."
"That's exactly what I'm worried about." Ning Nanxue crossed her hands and rested them on her chin. "He has access to the core technology, but he can't understand the mysteries behind it. This half-baked replica will eventually run into problems.
Ning Nanxue stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her back slender and upright.
"We need more evidence, not just technical data but also feedback from actual users.
Ning Nanxue turned around and met Jiang Tingchen's eyes. "The public relations department must also be prepared in advance. Once the evidence is conclusive, we will launch a full-scale counterattack."
Ning Nanxue snorted lightly: "He's probably busy dealing with Hongtai's complaint right now."
Secretary Chen knocked on the door and came in, holding a stack of documents. "Mr. Ning, the preliminary investigation results are out. Hongtai has exaggerated the performance of its products in its advertising in at least three provinces, which is a violation of the Advertising Law."
"Fax a copy to the legal team." Ning Nanxue took the document and quickly flipped through it. "At the same time, contact the Consumers Association. We want to raise questions in the name of consumer rights protection."
Secretary Chen recorded: "As for product prices——"
"No price reduction." Ning Nanxue said decisively, "Our advantage lies in quality and safety. If we blindly follow the trend and lower prices, it will weaken this advantage."
Jiang Tingchen nodded in agreement: "We can provide more flexible payment methods, such as installments and leasing, to lower the purchase threshold for customers, but we will never reduce the value of the product."
"Is there any progress with Professor Qiu?" Ning Nanxue asked.
"He's leading his team in the development of an upgraded version, and we expect to have samples ready within two weeks," Jiang Tingchen replied. "He said there have been major breakthroughs in energy consumption and heat dissipation."
Ning Nanxue's face lit up with joy: "That's great! If we can launch a more technologically advanced product at this time, it will undoubtedly give us a lot of points."
Secretary Chen added: "There is also news that Hongtai seems to be looking for a new technology partner, perhaps realizing its own technological shortcomings."
Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen exchanged a meaningful look.
"It seems that Fu Chen is also feeling the pressure." She said softly.
When leaving the meeting room, Jiang Tingchen received a call from Professor Qiu. He gestured for Ning Nanxue to leave first and stayed behind to answer the call.
Professor Qiu said excitedly on the other end of the phone: "Mr. Jiang, we may have discovered a fatal flaw in Hongtai's products! Under high load, their control circuits will overheat and may even cause a fire!"
Jiang Tingchen straightened up suddenly: "Are you sure?"
"One hundred percent sure! We've conducted three experiments to verify this," Professor Qiu replied. "This isn't just a technical issue; it's a serious safety hazard!"
"I'll go to the R&D center right away." Jiang Tingchen said solemnly, "This discovery may change the entire situation."
