Zheng Jiangong disagreed with his remarks, but did not refute him. He just hung up the phone after saying a few polite words. There were many people in the manufacturing industry who made sarcastic comments about Lu Feng, and some who made matters worse.
However, truly discerning manufacturing entrepreneurs understand that this time it is no longer just a matter of Jiafeng Electronics. Once the initiative for foreign exports is in the hands of trading agencies, the profits of the entire industry will be squeezed.
Lu Feng returned to the R&D company. In the office, Liucheng stood in front of his desk with a gloomy expression. A large number of newspapers were placed on the table, all of which were urgently revised and released at noon today.
So many newspapers are urgently interviewing, publishing, and distributing. If they say that they spend no money, they will not believe it.
"Now the entire foreign trade agency industry is uniting and speaking out, and many associations have spoken out." Liucheng sighed and said: "They just want to make a big fuss. Judging from their eagerness, the profits are probably quite a lot.
, and it can last a long time.”
Liucheng didn't know much about the overseas market for home appliances, but Lu Feng knew it. In the previous life, there was no Jiafeng Electronics, and the export of home appliances exploded in the late 1990s. Now that Jiafeng Electronics is here, it might be a few years ahead of schedule.
Once an export wave forms, the profits will be huge.
"We cannot lose in this competition, not that we cannot lose, but that the manufacturing industry cannot lose." Lu Feng lit a cigarette, thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have the phone number of any industry association?"
"Yes, there are so many from home appliance alliances, local chambers of commerce, and semiconductor clubs." Liucheng said as he began to rummage through a lot of business cards.
Lu Feng found a dozen association phone numbers and called them.
"Hello, China Electronics Association, what can I do for you?" the operator on the other end of the phone asked.
"I'm Lu Feng from Jiafeng Electronics, please transfer your president's phone number to me." Lu Feng said solemnly.
Lu Feng heard the little girl on the other end of the phone ask the person next to him who Jiafeng Electronics was, and then transferred the call.
"Mr. Lu, why did you call me? If Jiafeng Electronics wants to join our association, you are very welcome." There was a cheerful voice of a middle-aged man on the other end of the phone.
Lu Feng also knows that there are associations everywhere and awards everywhere. This so-called association is actually a business. Of course, the other party hopes to attract more reputable companies to support the facade, so as to trick those small businesses into paying fees to enter.
"It's like this. Today we had some friction with Guangfa Trading Agent. Many industry associations have come forward to speak out. I also hope that our industry associations will denounce this unfair behavior that undermines the development of the industry." Lu Feng asked.
Said: "What do you think?"
"no problem!"
The other party agreed very simply. They liked this kind of thing the most. As long as it could show that their association was powerful, they would definitely say something. What's more, Lu Feng also called, which was a great honor.
Lu Feng made more than a dozen calls in a row, including all relevant associations.
Things are fermenting in the two industries. People are constantly calling Li Guangfa's office. Other companies are giving him advice, and some people have begun to contact overseas companies. As long as domestic manufacturers are suppressed, they will be countless.
profit.
"I'm not panicking at all now. It's not like you don't know how many people in the industry have despised Lu Feng. Now there are too many people who want to see his jokes." Li Guangfa leaned on his chair and swayed leisurely and said:
"In terms of public opinion, he is no match for me. It's not that I'm great, but that he has offended too many people before."
"Isn't that right? I used to yell at electronics conferences while standing on the stage. When I heard about this, I told others while having dinner that business is not about fighting and killing, business is about human nature, and I don't know how to behave.
Once you are in trouble, it will be time for people to take revenge on you."
The two chatted passionately, and it seemed that they had already seen the scene where Lu Feng had to bow his head. Everyone has a different understanding of business. Too many people understand business as being a human being. Business is not about being a human being or doing things, but making money.
Interest is a hurdle that no one can overcome, and it is even more difficult than the beauty barrier.
Lu Feng made more than a dozen calls, all of which were from industry associations. As for friends in the industry, Lu Feng really had no friends, but other companies should stand up and speak out on this matter.
The only person Lu Feng had never had a bad relationship with was the panda. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to call him.
"Who is this?" There was a rich man's voice on the other end of the phone.
"Mr. He, it's me, Lu Feng from Jiafeng Electronics." Lu Feng looked at the business card. Panda's general manager had been replaced a long time ago.
"Is something wrong?" the other party asked in surprise.
"That's right, something happened today..." Lu Feng briefly explained the matter, hoping that the other party would lend support.
After hearing this, the other party agreed.
"This is a matter of major concern to the entire industry, and we should indeed speak out. Of course, I have to make it clear to you that I am not supporting Jiafeng Electronics." The other party said solemnly.
Lu Feng could only smile bitterly when he heard this. He could tell that the electronics industry has now been divided into two factions. One is the traditional electronics industry, represented by major manufacturers, and the other is the non-mainstream electronics industry, with only Jiafeng Electronics.
.
"I understand, but I still have to thank you!" Lu Feng said politely.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Feng wanted to make a few more calls. The remaining ones like Konka, Changhong, Skyworth, Hisense, etc. didn't seem to be very easy to deal with. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it.
After lunch, public opinion was basically one-sided towards Jiafeng Electronics. Some media even exposed that Jiafeng Electronics exploited workers and labeled Lu Feng a sweat capitalist.
Some people in the trade agency industry on the TV station said how difficult this industry is, and that most of the profits are taken away by the manufacturing industry. They called on the country to legislate on this, so that export trade can go further and form a healthy development.
Municipal Government, on the second floor of the cafeteria, Vice Mayor Liu was eating a meal. Originally, this meal was supposed to be with Lu Feng, but he had to break up because of an emergency.
There are seven deputy mayors in this city, who are responsible for all aspects of work. Currently, the main focus is on the economy. Vice Mayor Liu is definitely the boss among the deputy mayors. In addition, his recent political achievements are indeed outstanding, and some people have secretly secretly
Whisper.
"Lao Liu, are you eating in the cafeteria today?" A man in his forties sat down, looked at him and said, "Didn't you have a meal with Lu Feng?"
Vice Mayor Liu glanced at him and said, "You're kidding me, aren't you?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, I told you before, don't drag this Lu Feng over. He won't do anything else except cause trouble. What will you say in the next meeting? How will you explain?"
Vice Mayor Liu sighed and couldn't eat any more. Other companies were like good children, just provide some policies and allow them to produce with peace of mind.
Why did something like this happen before we even finished talking to Lu Feng?
He specially called reporters for today's meeting. It was originally a high-end publicity window, but he didn't expect it to be a trap. Many reporters called him and asked him why he wanted to introduce such a notorious company to Shenzhen.
Come.
The outside world even began to spread rumors that he had taken advantage of Lu Feng.
"These businessmen these days are very cunning, so be careful. Some time ago, a deputy mayor in the north was deceived. He obtained industrial land, policy support, and loans. The local municipal government cooperated with the publicity, but that person used the municipal endorsement.
They engaged in illegal fund-raising and ran away with the money."
"Stop talking, I have a headache!" Vice Mayor Liu put down his chopsticks and couldn't eat anymore. He stood up and went back to the office to stay by himself for a while.
At 1:30 in the afternoon, the Electronics Association was the first to speak out and accepted interviews from several newspapers. Faced with the reporters, they denounced Guangfa Trading Agency. It was not Jiafeng Electronics that was squeezing their profits, but that they controlled export channels and blackmailed Jiafeng Electronics, and
Said that as an electronics association, they will protect companies like Jiafeng Electronics. There are currently more than 300 electronics companies in their association, with a total market value exceeding one trillion.
Except for what I said at the beginning, which is somewhat useful, what follows is all about promoting my own association, and the same is true for other associations.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Gongjian contacted reporters from the Chengdu Morning News and local stations to provide a response to the dispute between Jiafeng Electronics and Guangfa Trading Agent.
Immediately afterwards, a series of companies such as Panda, Skyworth, TCL, and Haier stood up and resolutely resisted the 91% share model for overseas trade exports.
For a time, there was a big earthquake in the industry, and some companies that originally wanted to take advantage of the situation had no choice but to step forward with great momentum. Many TV stations reported the incident, and even called in relevant experts to explain it.
Lu Feng did not expect that so many companies would support him. He knew that no one would oppose him on this matter, but he did not expect that Changhong would come out for an interview immediately.
In the evening, Lu Feng accepted the wealth from Shenzhen Satellite TV and Shenzhen Morning Post. Facing two reporters, Lu Feng said solemnly: "I am very happy that my home appliances can go out and be recognized by the world, but I didn't expect that the product would not be popular."
When we go out, we will start fighting over the distribution of benefits."
"Guangfa Trading Agency negotiated with us at that time that the profit would be divided into 50%. After receiving the payment, the other party breached the contract and demanded a 91% share. This is unacceptable to me, and it is unacceptable to the manufacturing industry. I hope the trading agency company will open its eyes and see
Look, with so many companies speaking out, who is blocking domestic products from going global? Who is the capitalist?"
The reporter thought for a while and asked: "This is completely a breach of contract. It could have been brought to court. Why is it making such a big fuss in the media? Some outsiders speculate that you are hyping up. Mr. Lu is also a regular customer of the media. Whether it is
The grievances with colleagues and the recent divorce."
"I can't control what others say, and I can't control what the media writes. I can only be myself. The reason why I didn't go to court is because even if the other party loses the case, I won't get much money, maybe just a few million.
They don't care about millions, they want to make rules."
Lu Feng faced the camera and said solemnly: "A rule about the profit sharing ratio of exports of home appliances. Once this unspoken rule is formed, it cannot be resisted by a single enterprise, because others have already accepted it, and if you don't accept it, you can't get out, so
I want to represent the country’s manufacturing industry and launch a campaign against such unscrupulous companies!”
