Chapter 76 International Games
. "Morbik! Why is this guy everywhere?" Zhang Yan sighed. Zhang Yan knew very well that Morgan Stanley International, a former partner, was a financial combat tool that was extremely simple. The purpose was to plunder naked. However, when this plunder was under the international sign, it was ignored by many people.
"Do you know what the price of Nanfu is? If it doesn't reach one billion, you can take Nanfu down." In Zhang Yan's opinion, Morgan Stanley is a wolf, looking for fat sheep everywhere. This time, Morgan Stanley is probably trying to make a fortune from Nanfu. This time, there have been many such things recently. It is undeniable that China is currently short of funds, but the problem of funds will pass sooner or later. However, once Morgan Stanley controls Nanfu, Nanfu will be sold sooner or later.
"Well, the price I know is that Morgan Stanley invested 4 million US dollars and owned 12% of Nanfu's shares!"
"What?" Zhang Yan was shocked. As the real boss of Zhengrong Group, Zhang Yan knew Nanfu's energy very well. His annual sales were 600 million yuan, and his profits were probably tens of millions. Judging from Nanfu's momentum, he was not short of money. Why did he have to sell it so anxiously, and sell it at such a low price?"
"Bid it, borrow the name of Lightning Fund to compete with foreign capital to buy Nanfu. You can sell it, but you can't sell it so cheaply." Zhang Yan shook his head. It would be too late to stop it at this level. At most, it would be just a striking move and let the Morgan Stanley bleed. If you use the name of Zhengrong Group, you will definitely be blocked by some people using management excuses. After criticizing the foreign capital, you can play games calmly.
After discussing this matter, Zhang Yan waved his hand and began to deal with government affairs. After a few days of not handling it, the table was already piled up, and he savored Secretary Lu's words in his heart. Zhang Yan no longer had to carefully check everything in his signature. Instead, he was called to the leader in charge based on the scope of the in charge. In fact, the Secretary-General has done a good job and does not need Zhang Yan to make too many judgments. It took only three or four hours to complete the accumulated work in a week. This working method is really much easier.
Zhang Yan stood up, moving his neck, and then noticed that it was already dark and the floor lamp in the room automatically lit up. The energy-saving lamp radiated with soft white light, and Zhang Yan liked this kind of light. Therefore, the county party committee installed energy-saving lamps uniformly. Although the price is relatively expensive, it is still very cost-effective considering the electricity bill.
"Bang" While Zhang Yan was moving his neck, the energy-saving lamp above his head suddenly burst out, and the room suddenly became dark. The dim street lights outside shone into the room. Zhang Yan was a little angry. The last time the light bulb seemed to break down shortly after use. This time it was not long, so what did the office do? He actually bought this inferior product.
Perhaps because he heard the news, Director Zhao of the County Party Committee Office immediately ran over. Sometimes Zhang Yan would think that if he accidentally farts, Director Zhao would also come over. Seeing that the house was pitch black, Director Zhao immediately called someone to change it, and then bowed his head and walked to Zhang Yan: "I'm sorry, Secretary Zhang, it's because I didn't do my job well."
"Well, buy some lights with higher quality next time." Considering that other than energy-saving lamps, Director Zhao did well in other things, Zhang Yan was not interested in making things difficult for Director Zhao in small matters. Director Zhao couldn't help but sweat and complained: "Secretary Zhang, you don't know what happened recently. The land sold on the streets is full of these energy-saving lamps with particularly poor quality, and the price is only 30% of the previous ones, which squeezed out those good light bulbs?"
"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Yan felt quite surprised. At this moment, the electrician came over. Zhang Yan took a light bulb and looked at it carefully. He saw that there was a Philips label on it. The relationship was still a Philips brand. Zhang Yan smiled and said, "It's still a Philips brand, is it fake?"
Director Zhao shook his head: "I'm also puzzled. In theory, Philips is also a big brand, so he won't make these fakes."
Zhang Yan also smiled: "If this light bulb lasts only a month, I will take down all the energy-saving lamps in the county party committee and ask the supplier!" While he was talking, the electrician had installed the lamp. After pulling it gently, the room had returned to light. However, with a sound, the energy-saving lamp exploded again, and the room was suddenly pitch black again.
"Secretary Zhang is sorry to Director's face and his face turned black. The quality of the light bulb is too poor. It's like slapping him in the face in front of him.
"Well, there are only three things. Since this is the case, Director Zhao, please go and learn about the situation and report it to me. As for now, don't use energy-saving lamps, just use other floor bulbs."
At noon the next day, Director Zhao found out the reason. To Zhang Yan's expectation, this batch of energy-saving lamps is really a Philips brand. The supplier's agent admitted that the lifespan of this batch of energy-saving lamps is only 1,500 hours. For the losses caused to the county party committee due to low quality, it was originally intended to use Philips' high-quality products as compensation.
This matter was not very big, so Zhang Yan asked Director Zhao to deal with it himself, but deep down, Zhang Yan was always a little confused. Isn’t Philips doing this just to smash its brand? After 20 years in China, Philips’ brand is still very strong. What are the benefits of doing this?
It was vaguely, Zhang Yan felt something was tricky, but he couldn't think of it. It was not until that night when Zhang Yan was watching the News Broadcast that he suddenly thought of it. It was not that the content of the News Broadcast involved Philips, but that when he saw the color TV, Zhang Yan naturally thought of one thing, that was the famous "Sunset Review", Philips' toughness made the Chinese color TV industry lose the European market.
This time, Philips's goal is obviously China's energy-saving lamp market, and its purpose is also very sinister. It is to capture all Chinese energy-saving lamp manufacturers in one place. More than 400 manufacturers have a production capacity of tens of billions of dollars each year, and it is step by step in Philips' layout to the abyss that will never be restored.
However... Since he knew about this, Philips' good days ended here. Zhang Yan has a much deeper understanding of foreign capital than others. Foreign capital is not a charity organization, and if he doesn't make money, he will not come back to China. Those foreign-funded enterprises under the banner of losses are not increasing their investment year by year. And those like Philips not only want to eat well, but also want to put poison in other people's bowls are not one or two. It can only be said that it is the inevitable price of reform and opening up!
In the energy-saving lamp war, an inconspicuous energy-saving lamp manufacturer was established in Qiufeng County. The energy-saving lamp factory called Xingguang has a huge production capacity, reaching a scale of one billion pieces per year. However, it also loses a lot. The main reason is the price. Its price is half more expensive than similar products from Philips and 70% more expensive than similar manufacturers in China. Although it specifically shows that its quality is reliable and reaches 8,000 hours, its sales are still quite unsatisfactory. Although Walmart Carrefour accepted it, its sales are still quite bleak. Except for Philips, no manufacturer values it.
"It's really tricky!" In most of the daily necessities department of Philips headquarters, relevant personnel are scratching their heads. As the target of anti-dumping cases, Xingguang is really unreliable. The price is much higher than that of Chinese products. Even if it is local Philips, it is still similar. If the anti-dumping case is implemented, it will be a behavior that will lead the way for Xingguang, and Philips will not make any money in the end.
However, if the lawsuit is not filed now, the time will be delayed for a long time, and some changes that are not conducive to Philips may arise. The final result of the discussion is that since Xingguang does not lower the price, then Philips needs to lower the price of Xingguang, even if it is paid in reverse.
A few days later, a customer from Xingguang Factory said that he had 1 billion energy-saving lamps, but the price was very low, almost one-third of the original price of Xingguang Factory. Less than ten minutes after making the request, the uninvited guest was locked up as a mental illness. Although the uninvited guest tried his best to prove that he was a Philips person, there was no evidence to prove this, and all the signs showed that this person was a severe paranoia.
Within three days, several groups of customers came in a row, and they all spoke in this way. One mouth was hundreds of millions, and the price was very low. Of course, the only destination of these people was a mental hospital. In the end, a car was waiting at the door. As long as you open your mouth and say you want to buy hundreds of millions of energy-saving lamps, you will come to business and take it down first.
This simple and crude judgment method brought unfortunate consequences. Since the whereabouts of the first few batches of personnel were unknown, the deputy minister of the Mongolian branch of Philips China Northern District took action personally. As a result... After the matter was revealed, the deputy minister was released and had been tortured to the extreme. The male nurse in the hospital in charge at that time was always dissatisfied with the deputy minister's official, and he was worthy of it!
However, after such delays, more than half a month has passed, and Philips has less and less time. So when the deputy minister came out, the first thing was not to hold the responsibility accountable, but: "Does your factory have one billion energy-saving lamps? We urgently need them now, so we can pay a part of the payment first."
"I'm so sorry, our factory director has gone out and we can't make a decision."
“When will we come back?”
"It can be as short as half a month, and it can be as long as half a year.
"So are there any mobile phones?"
"Our factory manager said that if you don't bring that kind of thing, you're afraid of radiation."
