Chapter 161: Don't be humble!
The people from the 4-star group said to let them come?
If your people from the 4-star group want to come, then we'll have to see whether we have the time or not. Whether we have the mood to entertain you or not...
But now, this member of the 4-star corporation just casually sent a notice that was only given two hours' notice ahead of time. In the end, the Tengfei Corporation was already in a hurry to welcome the 4-star corporation.
Even without seeing it with his own eyes, Ji Feng could already imagine how Han Zhong and Xiao Yu Xuan would be busy making all sorts of arrangements when they received the call from the four-star corporation. Also, would the 4-star group go back to the production workshop or something like that? Workers, production, logistics, etc. They had to make arrangements in all aspects so that no problems would occur...
In this way, most likely all the employees in the group would not be able to live in peace.
And this was because of the sudden attack of the 4-star group.
Hence, when he thought of this, Ji Feng's heart was immediately set ablaze with rage. The members of the 4-star corporation were indeed arrogant, arrogantly hateful, and even infuriating.
However, from Ji Feng's point of view, Han Zhong and Xiao Yu Xuan were not without responsibilities!
"When the people from the 4-star group said they wanted to come, you agreed without saying anything?" Ji Feng couldn't help but shake his head and say, "Their 4-star corporation is indeed a multinational corporation. It is a heavyweight corporation in the world's electronics industry. It can't be that we have to listen to everything they say, right? It was as though his superior had come to inspect him... And it was a surprise attack! "
Han Zhong said with a wry smile, "Actually, there's no other way."
Hearing that, Ji Feng could not help but frown, and asked in surprise: "Is there nothing we can do? What do you mean helpless? They called, and you could have just said that there was no time to entertain them and make an appointment. Why would they do that now? "
Han Zhong shook his head, "It's not like that. The fact that the 4-star group came this time shows that they are here for an inspection. They came with the intention to cooperate. If we rashly refuse, then this cooperation might break down. It will be very disadvantageous for us to push 3D TV sets into the global market …"
"What are you saying!"
Ji Feng couldn't help but frown and said, "If you really want to cooperate, then I don't think this kind of cooperation is necessary. "Just because of this cooperation, what's the point of this cooperation?"
Han Zhong bitterly smiled and shook his head, "Ji Feng, your thoughts are too extreme. In fact, the people from the 4-star corporation are a little bit more arrogant. They think of themselves as the leaders of the industry, so when they talk to others, they feel like they are being bossed around. This phenomenon occurs in every large corporation. "
After pausing for a moment, Han Zhong continued, "Actually, the key thing is that we don't have the ability to talk to the 4-star corporation as equals right now … Don't stare, it's not that we don't have that potential. In fact, our 3D technology is the best in the world right now, even the largest electronics company in the world still doesn't have that technology. This is our advantage. "
Ji Feng frowned, "Then why are you still saying that we don't have the ability to talk to the 4-star corporation on equal footing?"
Han Zhong said, "Isn't it because of the various countries' trade protection policies!"
Ji Feng's eyes narrowed as he came to a realization.
He had forgotten about this point. He shook his head and said, "I was almost angered to the point that I could not remember."
Trade Protection!
This term was not unfamiliar to many merchants. Although their names were different, they all had the same meaning.
Every country would provide a certain degree of protection for their own country's goods and enterprises. This protection was directly provided by the government through policy and direct intervention.
South Koreans, for example, want to protect their country's electronics industry. On the one hand, the Korean government encourages their people to support domestic products by doing their best not to buy foreign electronics or to buy as many products as possible from their own national enterprises.
However, this was only one of the methods. Moreover, it could not be enforced. After all, what the citizens wanted to buy was their freedom. No matter how strong the government was, it could not interfere.
… …. Of course, with the exception of North Korea, a country that was unique to the point of deformity, it was almost a family dynasty. Many of the world's common rules did not make sense in this country.
Since this strategy of getting people to support their country's products could not be enforced, other methods were needed to truly protect their country's products.
Raising the tax rate was one of them.
For example, if Tencent's 3D television sets are to go on sale in other countries, they may have to face the brutal reality of being taxed.
If you add in transportation, manpower, and other costs and face extremely high taxes, even if you enter foreign markets, you will still have to sell them at an extremely high price to be able to recoup the costs and then earn a profit.
However, if the price was set too high, consumers would naturally not be too eager to buy it. At that time, the brand might be ruined.
This was also why Tengfei Group knew that their products were the leading products in the world and were unique, but they didn't dare to easily push their products into the international market. It wasn't because their products weren't strong, nor was it because the quality and ability of their employees couldn't keep up, but because they wouldn't easily let this obviously leading product into their own country.
"The Four Star Group is a large multinational group that has sales channels all over the world and has a very good reputation in the world market for electronic products." "If we want to bring 3D television sets and other products produced by Tengfei Group into the international market, it's best if we can work with the four-star group," said Han Zhong.
"Even if we have to cooperate, we don't necessarily have to rely on the sales channels of the 4-star group. We definitely have to cooperate with the 4-star group at such a low level!" Ji Feng harrumphed.
"Actually, the other multinational corporations are the same. Compared to those large multinational corporations, we are actually the weak!" Han Zhong said, "Moreover, considering all aspects, working with a 4-star corporation is actually the best choice."
"I think it's better to consider it over. Personally, if the 4-star group is still acting this way, then it's better not to consider cooperating." Ji Feng said solemnly, "If you don't respect this cooperation, continuing it will be meaningless!"
"Actually..."
Han Zhong shook his head and said, "How should I put it? If you want respect, of course you can choose, but I'm afraid you might not agree."
Ji Feng was startled. "What do you mean?"
Han Zhong said, "Actually, there was a 4-star accident and many other large multinational corporations came to talk to us, but because it was the Spring Festival before, we only had a preliminary intentional contact with those companies and didn't have too deep of an exchange. However, based on the results of their initial contact, a few of them are more suitable for cooperation … "
Seeing that Han Zhong's gaze fell on him, Ji Feng asked, "Which companies are these? "Tell me about it."
"The German company Simmonds, the United States, England, France, and several other large groups have been in contact with us, and of course..." Han Zhong paused here, "j.a.pan's Central Pine Group!"
"Matsus.h.i.ta Group?" Ji Feng immediately frowned, "The one that made the advertis.e.m.e.nt into a children's song, the one that even the children can sing?"
"That's right, it's them!" Han Zhong nodded.
Han Zhong, of course, knew about this example that Ji Feng told him. Back in the day, the Songzhi Group made their advertis.e.m.e.nt slogan into a nursery rhyme, leaving a deep impression on some kids. And as these kids grew up and became adults, they became the main source of consumption.
This cla.s.sic marketing method was widely praised. As a businessman, it was impossible not to know of this cla.s.sic marketing method.
"Pine Top Group also has a very extensive sales network around the world. Furthermore, when they contacted us, they did not show any arrogance. Instead, they showed a very good att.i.tude. I believe that if we work together, the benefits will definitely be greater than that of working with a 4-star group!" Han Zhong said.
"Good att.i.tude?"
Ji Feng shook his head and laughed, saying, "The j.a.panese are ambitious! "It's not that I'm that angry, but I'm not willing to let the j.a.panese use us to make money."
"I knew it, you definitely won't agree to cooperate with the j.a.panese." Han Zhong said.
"The matter of the cooperation can be postponed for a while. However, as for the name of the Central Pine Group, it can be used for a use." Ji Feng said.
"How do I use it?" Han Zhong asked in confusion.
"That's simple..." Ji Feng stood up and said, "Where are the people from the 4-star group now? "Bring me there."
"Ji Feng, when the time comes, don't be rash." Han Zhong said, "Try your best not to make a move. "The last time you fought with those j.a.panese here, they were all over the place trying to ruin our reputation …"
"There's such a thing?"
Ji Feng sneered and said: "Fine, as long as those Koreans are not too excessive, I will not make a move." "Come on, let's hurry up and go. We've been delayed for such a long time, Yu Xuan must be anxious right now."
"Then let's go. They're still in the conference room." Han Zhong also stood up.
