Chapter 521 They Want My Life

In a dozen or so important provincial markets, this situation has appeared to varying degrees in the concentrated electrical city area. In fact, big manufacturers are not afraid of this kind of competition at all, and prices can stabilize.

The first ones that couldn't support it were some small assembly workshops. They invested all their wealth in it, and when they saw that the market trend was wrong, they immediately wanted to sell to stop losses.

As long as one person starts to do this, a chain effect will be formed, causing the market to avalanche. As long as users hear that someone has bought the same product at a low price, they will doubt the value of such products.

In the afternoon, the situation was even worse. The counters of several Golden Leopards were completely sold out. There were many people who came to see them, but very few people bought them. Yes, or wait and see, after all, it is a big item.

Zhu Lidong noticed the changes in the market immediately, and called several dealers, and the feedback made him panic.

After thinking about it, let's report to Lu Feng, the market situation and let him feel that it is over.

Lu Feng made himself a cup of tea. This afternoon was a half-day vacation. There was a VCD in the office, playing the Cantonese version of "Mr. Zombie". Although the film was made in 85, people still enjoyed it.

Zhang Fengxia was also sitting on the sofa watching intently, and Feng Zhiyao was sitting by the window watching intently.

The phone on the desk rang, and Zhang Fengxia was so frightened that she turned around and asked, "Who? It scared me to death."

Lu Feng picked up the phone and asked, "Who is it?"

"Mr. Lu, it's me. The market fluctuated a lot. I noticed an increase in piracy some time ago. Today, it broke out completely. The dealers reported that the prices of many products were lowered, which caused our sales to plummet!" Zhu Lidong said eagerly.

"Oh, got it!" Lu Feng asked, "Anything else? I'm watching a movie."

"Mr. Lu, I can feel that this market is very competitive. Should we step back? Many dealers called me and asked us to crack down on piracy, otherwise they would not be able to sell."

"Piracy can't be cured, and price reduction is not allowed. If you sell less, sell it slowly, and it will be fine after a while." Lu Feng's voice showed indifference, and said: "Don't worry about getting angry, it's useless, just stay safe. , the factory has already reduced production, don't be afraid!"

Zhu Lidong sensed Lu Feng's indifference. If he thought there was no problem, then it would be no problem. He briefly explained the situation and hung up the phone.

Then call the dealer and tell the dealer directly, Mr. Lu said not to cut the price, don't panic, be afraid of a ball!
Since the last incident, the dealer's trust in Zhu Lidong was not so good, but in Lu Feng, this can be regarded as Lu Feng's unintentional reduction of Zhu Lidong's authority in the marketing department.

As the sky is dark, today is the first time that the Golden Leopard has not been sold out since its launch. This state makes many people feel uneasy, but some people still have illusions, thinking that tomorrow will be fine, tomorrow is the weekend, and there will be more People who plan to buy VCDs will spare time.

The next day, panic began to appear in the market. Headed by young entrepreneurs, he was afraid to buy any more. He thought he could sell a hundred machines in two or three days, but none of them were sold yesterday.

Some unbearable ones began to cut prices, and major manufacturers were still producing frantically. Even major manufacturers such as Zheng Zong and Li Quanliang felt that the market had too much inventory and were ready to stop production at any time.

There is too much product spillover, the market cannot digest it, and the accumulation in the warehouse will suppress a lot of cash flow. The big manufacturers already feel that something is wrong, but the small and medium-sized manufacturers have not yet felt the crisis.

And there are more belated people entering this industry, smuggled out of the factory, wholesaled to the outside world, and motherboards emerging from various channels are frantically flowing into the hands of some small workshops.

These people believe that the current VCD outlets are like the smuggled TV sets of the past, they will only make crazy profits, and there will always be a market.

This force pushes the market forward, and no matter how hard the brakes are applied by the big manufacturers, they will not be able to stop.

The news of the plummeting sales of Golden Leopard VCD quickly attracted the attention of various media, and another day of writing began. The middle-aged man in the newspaper looked at the headline and sighed. Standing on the altar."

The young man glanced at it, and laughed out loud. The title read: Golden Leopard VCD sales plummeted, Lu Feng fell from the altar.

There was laughter at the scene, and everyone lamented that the job of the newspaper office is still stable. This kind of life has ups and downs, flying into the sky today, falling down tomorrow, and falling to pieces.

Under the night, the dinner party was still lively, but many people began to hesitate. People who decided to invest money in VCD a few days ago are afraid to go in now.

"I heard that Jinbao is no longer in production? Mr. Liang, didn't you say you are good brothers with Mr. Lu? Call and ask."

"That's right, you keep saying to ask Mr. Lu to come. It's been a few days, and you haven't come yet?"

"You can't say to buy your materials, and then the market will not be good and you won't be able to sell them."

Liang Ligao looked embarrassed, and hurriedly picked up his wine glass and said: "Everyone be quiet, there are too many people making VCDs now, the market will eliminate some junk products, and then it will be fine. Our PCB board is my good brother's supplier. The quality is absolutely fine, let me tell you, the price has gone up a lot these days."

"I think the price will drop after a while. Buy a batch and store it back. When the VCD market is established, you will definitely make a lot of money. This product is driven by the future, you know."

The mood at the scene was a little unstable, but everyone still chose to believe.

Liang Ligao didn't take a photo with Lu Feng, but he used Lu Feng's name to fool around a lot, and he made a lot of money during this period.

Early the next morning, Jiafeng Electronics published an announcement letter in several newspapers and media, requesting companies that infringed patent rights to stop the infringement immediately, and will further go through legal procedures.

In the morning, the legal team sued all [-] manufacturers, including Jinbanbao, Quanbao, Zhenjinbao, Ganbao, etc., to the court, demanding to stop the infringement, and proposed different compensation amounts for different manufacturers, with a total claim amount of [-] million Ten million.

As soon as the news came out, various media called Jiafeng Electronics one after another, wanting to interview. Zhu Lidong and Zhang Fengxia were interviewed in two places respectively, saying that the piracy has seriously damaged the company's interests, and they will sue to the end. Believe in the law!
At the same time, it was hinted in the interview that these manufacturers are not supported by small companies, but malicious competition by some large companies. A dark commercial war has formed a storm in the reporter's mind.

Today, the army of piracy is completely attacking, and the price of Golden Leopard VCD remains unchanged. According to the data reported by the dealer, the sales volume has plummeted by [-]%. Only more than [-] units were sold yesterday, and it is still falling!

When Mr. Zheng came to the company in the morning, he was as excited as a child, almost jumping up and down. After reading the newspaper, he enjoyed drinking porridge. After waiting for so many years, it was finally his turn.

"Call Boss Lu and comfort him!" Boss Zheng picked up the phone with a smile on his face teasingly, and called Lu Feng: "Hello, Boss Lu?"

"It's me, what's wrong?" Lu Feng asked.

"I, your brother!" Mr. Zheng sighed and comforted him: "I also read newspapers, domestic piracy is indeed serious now, but in business, if you make money, you will lose money. I feel sorry for you too. What are the difficulties? Say."

"It's okay, why did you remember to call me?" Lu Feng asked very flatly.

"It's not sad, just get up after falling down. Piracy is really hateful, but there is really no way. Even if you sue, it's useless. Now the law can't control this kind of thing. ,right?"

"Those people are not just things? They are like pigs and dogs, Mr. Zheng, are you saying that I am scolding you?" Lu Feng asked.

"Yes, you are right!"

"Those people should have been hit to death by a car when they went out, choked to death when they were eating, cheated on their wives, trains derailed, and meteorites fell on the earth. They should also kill these bastards first." Lu Feng cursed viciously.

Mr. Zheng couldn't stand being scolded anymore. He took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Lu, everyone is in trouble. There is no need to scold so hard. I can understand you. Can you resist now? Can't bear to talk to brother, something is wrong You can just say hello."

Lu Feng slammed his mouth down, and tentatively said: "The money is almost burned out, and I really can't bear it anymore. In this situation, it is impossible to raise money. Worry!"

"If you don't like this, I will help you. If you can't bear it, you will apply for bankruptcy and reorganization. I will enter the market with funds. The key is to keep Jiafeng Electronics alive. This is your painstaking effort." Ah!" Mr. Zheng regretted.

Lu Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, so An couldn't bear it anymore?
"Okay, you are really my good brother. At the critical moment, it depends on your character. At that time, no matter how high the bid is, I will stick to you first." Lu Feng said.

"It's what a brother should be."

"Then I'll hang up, and one last thing, the production of pirated products is dead!" Lu Feng hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Mr. Zheng froze on the spot when he heard the blind voice on the phone, smashed the phone on the table, and shouted: "Go to hell, what arrogance, you won't even have the right to call me after a while!"

The two parties went crazy in the market, the media, and the courts. Both sides resisted very hard. He Jiale couldn't bear it first. Once Jiafeng Electronics fell, half of his industrial park was destroyed, and nearly two employees were involved. million people.

He couldn't bear the loss, so he thought about it, and called Lu Feng to ask if he could stop, so that the two sides could mediate and give in to each other.

Now the court is facing a headache from Jiafeng Electronics' lawsuit. Many defendants have local jurisdiction, and some factories have just been established recently, which has also created a lot of employment.

Reconciliation, for He Jiale, can maximize the benefits.

"Hello? Lu Feng?" He Jiale asked, "Where are you now? If you're here, how about having dinner together tonight?"

"I'm in Suzhou, what's wrong?" Lu Feng asked.

"It's about going to the court to sue those piracy matters. Can we mediate in private? There are many companies involved. We value harmony and make money through harmony. Do you think this matter can be handled like this?"

Of course Lu Feng knew what He Jiale was thinking, and he thought to himself, "They want my life!"
