Chapter 105 I'm drying the net, you don't even think about fishing
Since the two engineers only knew technology and Xiao Qiang obviously couldn't make the decision, the first meeting between Minister Yamagata and them was soon over.
Minister Yamagata said in his report to President Tamura: "In China, the management of the company can be said to be a mess. The owner of the patent does not have sufficient management capabilities. The company's technical engineers, from the conversation, have limited knowledge about this technology. Niuyu Company obviously still operates in the same paternalistic management model. I feel the prospects for cooperating with such a company."
During this meeting, they were even more optimistic about the prospects of the world, and they began to be moved by electric appliance companies such as United Sony and others.
Xiao Qiang and others did not accept the hospitality of Minister Yamagata and rested in the VIP private room at Wubaiban headquarters. Instead, they chose another three-star hotel, which was relatively cheap, and stayed in.
The high consumption in Japan, Su Zheng and others had the most intuitive feeling: they all had eleven people and ordered a single suite, two double suites and two triple suites. The daily accommodation fee was as high as more than 170,000 yen, which was nearly 1,500 US dollars!
Everyone lives in fear and fear - the income from living a projector will be lost in the past five and a half days! Converting into RMB, how many projects can be funded to carry out work!
Xiao Qiang had no feelings about their savings.
As soon as the room was opened, the hotel waiter left the room, Xiao Qiang's relaxed and comfortable dandy expression immediately disappeared from his face. He put his hands behind his back, frowned, and kept paced back and forth in the room.
The two engineers were busy for a day and were already very tired. They were persuaded to return to their room to rest.
Su Zheng and others, except for sending two team members to work at the door, gathered in Xiao Qiang's room, watching him pace back and forth, and did not dare to speak.
The news they received today made them feel heavy. Unexpectedly, the LCD projector started to be unable to sell after only half a year of selling. You know, everyone now pins their hopes on the projector, hoping that it will continue to provide financial guarantees for research. But at present, such a severe form is no different from a bolt from a blue for Su Zheng and others who do not understand economy and technology!
Earlier, Xiao Qiang told them that they might face competition from Japanese companies. Because Xiao Qiang's expression was relaxed at the time, they were also relieved, thinking that Xiao Qiang must have a way to deal with it.
However, in the face of product quality defects, they all felt at a loss. They also lost confidence in whether the new product could regain the market.
Especially now, when they see Xiao Qiang, who has always been resourceful, he is also worried and wandering. Suddenly, they all feel hopeless and there is only panic left in their hearts.
The door knocked gently, and a team member opened the door, quietly looked at it, and waved to Su Zheng.
Su Zheng was stunned, and then walked out quietly. After a while, his face changed drastically. When he saw Xiao Qiang who was still thinking in front of the window, he wanted to speak, but he didn't dare to speak.
"What's the matter? Just say it! No matter how bad it is, can it be worse than what you saw this afternoon?" Xiao Qiang did not look back, but from the reflection of the glass, he saw him rushing in, standing at the door and looking at himself. He knew that he must have received some bad news again, and hesitated whether to notify him.
Hearing him ask, Su Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid it's worse than you think! The business war you imagined may have arrived! Our people received a call from an overseas Chinese in Hokkaido, saying that they saw that the local electrical company was selling LCD projectors.
The electrical appliance company claimed that this is the product of the Universal Company in the advertisement. He heard from our people that he knew that Universal is a domestic product and was very happy. He even paid for one to buy a home. But when he opened it, it was found that except for the outer packaging exactly the same as ours, the appearance of the projector was completely different from that in our advertisement! Moreover, the trademark on the projector seemed to be stripped off, leaving a mark on it alone!”
The whole person in the room was so shocked that he couldn't speak! Tian Shengying was bored holding the TV remote control and was spinning around in his hand. When he heard the news, he snapped and his fingers stagnated, and the remote control fell to the ground.
However, no one was interested in checking whether the remote control had broken.
Bai Xiaoquan and others had their faces as if they were dirt!
It was raining all the time. When the company's products were boycotted by users due to quality defects and sales were declining, Su Zheng and others felt desperate.
"Hokkaido?" Xiao Qiang tried hard to calm his breath and asked himself gently, "The market in Tokyo is still far from saturation. Why do they have to go far and go to such a corner to sell?"
At this critical moment, anyone can panic, but he can't! Because he is the backbone of everyone. Even if he feels panic in his heart, he must be calm and composed! Only in this way can everyone calm down, work together, and overcome difficulties together!
He calmed down his emotions and thought carefully.
There is something strange here. There is no reason why the Japanese company did not conflict with him head-on, but secretly ran to such a distance, and even held the brand of the world...
Let’s wait, the most important thing here is, why do they have to use the banner of the universe?
Xiao Qiang had a thought flashed in his mind, and he immediately stood up and asked Su Zheng hurriedly: "How is the quality of the projector? Is it different from ours?"
"No! According to the overseas Chinese after trial, the projector's effect was very poor, and the picture would always be dull! The people here have never used the projector and do not know the characteristics of the LCD. They thought he had bought a projector with a problem with quality, and even laughed on the phone, saying that who told him not to buy authentic domestic products! It was a retribution!"
Xiao Qiang suddenly felt his eyes lit up.
He figured out everything!
If the other party is preparing to fight with him and the quality is better than his, then there is no need to be afraid at all. Just put the projector on the market in large quantities! Since they do this, they must be like him and face this LCD delay phenomenon!
Even, it may not be as good as Universal!
That's why they play the world's brand with the goal of ruining the world's reputation!
Why are there signs of trademark peeling? It is very likely that this is a product that the other party hoarded specifically. The other party originally intended to fight a sales war with them, trying to hurt people with their original purpose and drive the world out of the Japanese market with quantity. Who knew that because users quickly expressed strong resistance to the first generation of LCD products, they refused to buy such inferior products, which forced them to give up this idea!
It is precisely because they cannot launch this product in the Tokyo market in a blatant manner. They have to quickly strip away the company marks that were pasted on the projector, secretly hide in remote places where they have not yet recognized the defects of the first-generation products, and open up new markets!
At the same time, they can also use this to attack the world's reputation and push the quality issues to the world. The next step is to seize the commanding heights!
What a vicious plan! What a cruel method!
Xiao Qiang stood quietly in front of the window, looking through the glass, looking downstairs of the hotel, and the streets of Tokyo where night gradually fell. Suddenly, he suddenly burst into laughter, his voice was very loud, and the laughter was so pleasant!
"Okay! I admit that this move is very beautiful! But since I discovered it, I'm sorry, I'm not a person who can only be beaten and will not fight back! I won't sell the first generation projector! But, don't think about selling it!" Xiao Qiang turned around, and a strong fighting spirit suddenly arose, and asked Su Zheng, "That overseas Chinese, can you contact him?"
When everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xiao Qiang's confident expression.
Although Xiao Qiang is the youngest in this room, in everyone's heart, Xiao Qiang is the spiritual support of all of them!
The solemn atmosphere in the room immediately became relaxed.
Su Zheng also felt that the tight muscles on his face suddenly relaxed, and he also smiled and said, "No problem! Do I need to go overnight?"
Xiao Qiang nodded in praise: "You're going to pass overnight, I'm afraid it's too late? Why not call the overseas Chinese and ask him to bring the counterfeit product and purchase receipts, and come over overnight, and we will have a heavy reward!"
President Gang Pingyuan Jiro has been very happy these two days because the first generation of LCD projectors they made have been sold in Kyushu, Shikoku, and Hokkaido in just two days!
According to this progress, in just about twenty days, they will be enough to clear all the inventory in the warehouse!
He excitedly opened the small freezer in the study, poured a glass of red wine, and drank it all in one go.
It feels cool and soaks the heart and spleen, so comfortable!
Speaking of which, even if these more than 10,000 projectors are all broken in the warehouse, they will not shake their roots. After all, Sony has been in business for decades and has a big family and a big business, so it is impossible for it to be in a slump just because of a projector.
But this time, not only did the funds be recovered successfully, but he also took the opportunity to recover part of the R&D expenses. It felt so good to pay money from the Chinese people’s bags! He had a big sigh of depression for half a year! And he could turn the blame and push the quality problems on the Chinese people! Imagine that the people of Huanyu Company were on the blame, but they couldn’t say it, and could not find the fake manufacturer’s look of eating, so Gao Ping couldn’t help but want to laugh!
This is just the beginning! When Panasonic and the others are moving, let’s see if you Chinese still have a way out!
This time, we will completely ruin the reputation of Chinese goods! In the future, Japanese people will despise them when they see them as Chinese goods and refuse to buy them! In just one or two years, they can drive all the disgusting Chinese goods out of the Japanese market!
After that, this is our world!
Gao Ping walked to the sofa in his study, wearing comfortable floor slippers, sat down. He turned on the desk lamp, found a plate of light music he liked, stuffed it into the company's own booth recorder, and pressed the play button.
The gentle music spread throughout the room in an instant.
He was intoxicated by the enjoyment of music when a servant knocked on the door.
Gao Ping cursed angrily: "Bastard! Didn't you hear me enjoying music?"
The servant outside said in a low voice: "Young Master Gaoping, it was Mr. Nikaido, the call from Panasonic. He heard from the phone that he was very anxious! Let you answer the phone immediately!"
Gao Ping was stunned for a moment and started to laugh.
He was still discovered. In this Nikaido, his movements were really fast and he couldn't hide anything from him! Wait a moment, he would definitely use an angry tone on the phone and say, "Ah! What are you, Gao Ping, doing!"
Gao Ping smiled and turned off the recorder, got up and opened the study door, and came to the living room.
Since it has been discovered, it seems that I can’t eat this alone anymore, which is a pity!
He picked up the phone and said with a smile: "I am Gao Ping!"
"Oh! Why are you so shameless! You are always like this, eating alone!"
As expected, President Nikaihei's familiar roar came from the phone. Gao Ping smiled and took the microphone away a little. It was such a noisy guy.
"I'm so sorry this time! I'm a little anxious, after all, the company's R&D expenses are too large. I'm very sorry!" Gao Ping apologized without any sincerity, and his smile remained unabated.
"Oh! Why are you still apologizing at this time! Turn on the TV and read the Tokyo news, and you will understand everything!" A beep came from the other end of the phone, and President Nigai Hei hung up the phone after he said that.
Gao Ping put down the phone in confusion. What does Nigai Hei mean? Could it be that Tokyo News also broadcasts the incident of me selling projectors in Hokkaido and other places? No, it’s not a popular product so far away. Will Tokyo News be broadcast?
He quickly came to the TV and turned on the TV.
There is no need to jump to Tokyo News anymore. At eight o'clock, it is the evening news time, and every TV station is playing the news.
Without exception, all TV stations are playing the same news from their own perspectives!
"... Until now, we know that the LCD projectors we were proud of before were not produced by our Japanese manufacturers! We are all very curious about why they were able to invent this LCD projector that was obviously a luxury in such a backward country..."
Gao Ping touched his chin and stared at the anchor in the news.
Universal Company couldn't help but show up? It was ready to reveal the fact that it was a Chinese company! But what did this have to do with me selling projectors in Hokkaido?
Just when he was confused, the words of the anchor on the TV shocked him:
"... When this Universal Company was in full swing, it suddenly held a press conference and announced that it would stop selling the first generation of LCD projectors indefinitely because the product still had quality problems. We admired the courage to take responsibility..."
Gao Ping suddenly fell to the sofa! His mind became confused!
Unexpectedly, the Chinese are so courageous. In order not to damage the reputation of Chinese goods, they are willing to give up this market resolutely!
He calmed down and quickly became happy. Does this mean that the Chinese admitted that they had failed and planned to launch the Japanese market? If so, then he would have no problem selling the projector publicly!
However, things were not as beautiful as he thought.
Obviously, the first Chinese company, the products produced by it, once occupied the Japanese market for a period of time and became a hot topic. Many TV stations have opened up special interview programs and have conducted detailed reports on the ins and outs of the matter.
This is nothing, it was just a free publicity for the Chinese.
But when Gao Ping saw the video of the TV station broadcasting, the smile on his face immediately frozen and he stayed on the spot.
A spokesperson of Universal Company briefly introduced the characteristics of liquid crystal to everyone and reviewed the practical research process of liquid crystal. Through this introduction, everyone knows that at present, how to improve the reaction speed of liquid crystal is still a global topic.
Immediately afterwards, the spokesperson asked the staff to set up two types of projectors. Gao Ping recognized at a glance that the first projector was a product of Universal; and the second one was put up was one of the counterfeit models produced by Sony!
The spokesperson severely condemned counterfeit manufacturers based on purchase documents based on these two projectors, which ignored business principles. At the same time, through technical comparison, he told the reporters attending the press conference that the quality of the counterfeit products is far inferior to their products!
The Chinese representative took this press conference to solemnly push the logo of the Universe to the Japanese market, allowing everyone to recognize the logo and re-recognize the company of Universe.
Things haven't ended here!
What’s next is the key to this press conference: Universal announced that in view of the quality defects in the first generation of LCD products, this early product will be completely stopped and used to produce improved LCD products. It will be officially launched in the near future. All users are kindly requested to wait patiently!
Production improved type!
Gao Ping felt like he was hit by a heavy hammer!
Huanyu Company’s technical R&D capabilities are really so strong? Have they developed improved products so quickly and can commercially produce them on a large scale?
Gao Ping's concerns at this time were only due to technical considerations.
But by the next day, he completely understood why the Chinese had to hold such a press conference with great fanfare!
The other party’s intention was not to announce a temporary withdrawal from the Japanese market or to announce an improved listing! This was simply their premeditated plan to destroy the sales of Japanese electrical appliance companies!
"What's going on? Why is the sales volume today so small?" Gao Ping took the sales volume of projectors counted by the sales department. Looking at the total sales volume of only about one hundred units, he could hardly believe his eyes.
The head of the sales department said with a wry smile: "Electrical companies in various cities say that because Universal Company held that press conference, it was reprinted by various media. Now users understand that the projectors on the market are all first-generation products. And Universal Company said that they will launch improved products in the near future, so those potential customers are waiting and watching. They want to see what Universal Company's improved products are like and then make a choice!
Also, those electrical appliance companies are afraid. They are afraid that Universal Company will make a complaint about them and sue them for selling counterfeit products. So they said that they will temporarily stop their cooperation with us and hope that we can understand..."
Gao Ping fully understood and had no doubts anymore!
The Chinese are too cruel!
They clearly said that they had a wake-up call to all Japanese electrical appliance companies: We can’t buy the first-generation products anymore, so don’t even think about selling them!
They used the upcoming improvement model as bait to lure the user group, and during the period when they temporarily withdraw from the market, they temporarily suspended their desire to buy a first-generation projector because they expect the improvement model to be launched!
Moreover, through a combination of punches, they threatened the electrical appliance companies that sell counterfeit products: we may not find counterfeit manufacturers. But your family is a big business, and if we continue to sell counterfeit products and hold you legally responsible, we can still do it!
Now, the effect immediately appeared - those electrical appliance companies were scared! They wanted to withdraw!
Bastard!
Gao Ping cursed viciously.
You are full and snatched away the largest piece of cake. Now you don’t even leave any residue for us! You really treat the Japanese market as your farmland? It’s really too much!
But what's the solution?
The Japanese's greed for small gains has always been deeply rooted! How could users willingly want them to give up their expectations for improved products and instead buy backward generations of products?
The electrical appliance industry cannot help Gaoping regardless of its own safety. After all, Japan still claims to be a country ruled by law!
Gao Ping cannot sell it from door to door, so he forced the projector to the user and forced the money from their bags!
I still have to find a fundamental solution! Gao Ping pressed the blood vessels that were beating rapidly on his forehead and tried to calm down his excitement.
The Chinese say that what they are about to launch is an improved model, which shows that they do not have a real second-generation product, or that second-generation products cannot be commercialized yet!
By the way, that's it! The more Gao Ping thought about it, the more he confirmed his judgment, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
LCD research has been underway for many years and is also in the leading position in the world! It is rare for Chinese people with backward technology to be the first to launch a first-generation product. They absolutely cannot have the strength to surpass Japanese technology. Sony's technological advantages still exist, that is, the second-generation LCD products!
He grabbed the phone and called the production department: "When will our production line of LCD second-generation products be built? Can it be put into production as soon as possible? The Chinese are about to launch an improved model. If we don't speed up the progress, we will fall behind the other party!"
After making the phone call, he was still a little uneasy, so he simply put aside the work at hand and ran to the production line installation site. At the construction technicians, Gao Ping bowed deeply: "Everyone! Faced with the aggressive offensive of Chinese companies, our situation is worrying! I ask everyone, please, please make sure to speed up the construction period and let our production line move as soon as possible! Please everyone!"
Gao Ping firmly believes that Japan's technology is ahead of the world. As long as the second-generation products are released, all the markets that have been lost will return to the control of Japanese electrical appliance companies!
However, Xiao Qiang's strength has always been a continuous combination of punches.
There is a saying in his heart that is always circling in his heart: All martial arts in the world cannot be broken, only the speed cannot be broken!
Only the speed is not broken, that is, I will be ahead of you every step! I will continue to seize the lead with a series of attacks like a storm, making you dizzy and not giving you a chance to breathe!
Chapter completed!
