Four hundred and fourteenth chapter [month](1/2)
Soon, Shi Wuwei knew why Zhang Yuxin and Zhu Qiankun wanted to withdraw their capital.
Mingyuan Technology directly held a press conference and announced a high-profile cooperation with international giants such as IBM, Dell, HP, Logitech, etc. to export USB flash drives to North America and Europe.
Among them, there is even the figure of the world's richest man, Bill Gates. The news that the two have jointly opened a company specializing in the promotion and sales of USB flash drives has also spread a lot under the follow-up reports of the media.
The public opinion trend that Lenovo finally guided was suddenly beyond their control. Many people began to question whether Ammon Company had any patented technology related to flash disks. International giants such as IBM, Dell, HP, and Logitech could not be fools and blind people.
Bar?
In an instant, companies related to USB flash drives such as Lenovo, Ammon, Huaqi Information, etc. were pushed to the forefront. Even Pengrun Electrical Appliances, which had previously promoted USB flash drives, was affected by Chiyu and was scolded by users as "traitors."
Helping outsiders bully domestic companies.
Huang Junlie was immediately confused. He called Shi Wuwei and asked: "What on earth is going on? Didn't you say that you have a complete set of patented technologies for USB flash drives!?"
Shi Wuwei also had a big head and retorted: "I didn't know that the foreigner Dover Ammon said he had it."
Huang Junlie came from a grassroots background. He could not hold back at this moment. He immediately yelled: "Are you a pig? Do you believe him when he says he has it? Why don't you go and confirm it? I'm so damned this time.
You’re in a terrible situation, do you know that?”
Pengrun Electric Co., Ltd. has been caught selling fake goods before, and now this incident has happened again. It has a bad reputation. I don’t know how much time and money it will take to clear it up. Huang Junlie is not popular until he is a ghost.
Shi Wuwei was in the same bad mood and said unhappily: "You asked me to check, why don't you check it yourself?"
"Take your mother in my mouth!"
After Huang Junlie finished cursing, he hung up the phone. The two parted on bad terms and went to lick their wounds each.
Mingyuan Technology.
In the conference room, Song Honglin gave a thumbs up and flattered Lu Yiming: "Mr. Lu's move was really wonderful. He knocked his opponent to the ground. The dealers who were still waiting on the sidelines now came to visit him again.
Come, wave your banknotes and place an order with Mingyuan Technology to purchase a USB flash drive."
Lu Yiming said: "You should make a list. During this crisis, we will provide better welfare benefits to those dealers who have always maintained a united front with our Mingyuan Technology. As for those wallflowers, everyone counts.
, the treatment will be directly lowered by one level."
Song Honglin said with some worry: "Would it be too offending to do this?"
If we follow Lu Yiming's words, many powerful dealers will be blacklisted, and the other party will definitely not be happy.
Lu Yiming sneered and said: "Buy or not, these profit-seeking villains are inherently unreliable. Rather than giving them money to earn, I would rather cultivate some dealers who are willing to trust us, even if they are still very weak now."
If you want to start a business, sales team and channel construction are all things that must be considered. In Lu Yiming's view, there is no value in wooing dealers who jump at the slightest sign of trouble.
Therefore, Lu Yiming plans to imitate the Jianlibao Group in this regard. The company and the dealers directly form a close interest alliance, so as to improve the company's ability to resist risks.
Song Honglin thought about it and felt it made sense.
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
A few days after the press conference of Mingyuan Technology, with the launch of the second-generation USB flash drive with a large capacity of 128m, Lu Yiming used his own product to beat the USB flash drive of Huaqi Information. The capacity was only 32m.
A quarter of the USB flash drive, the two are not on the same level at all.
However, the price of the second-generation USB flash drive is also much more expensive because of this, with a unit price of several thousand, but after conversion, users still make a profit.
Compared with the first-generation USB flash drive, the second-generation product not only has an increase in capacity, but the most important thing is that it is "driver-free" and a "two-in-one" that integrates the functions of "driverless and hard encryption".
"One" type USB flash drive.
Compared with the first-generation products, such a USB flash drive already has a driverless function, that is, users do not need to install a special driver to use the USB flash drive.
What's more worth mentioning is the "hard encryption" function, which makes EasyDisk private. Users must enter the correct password to use EasyDisk, which prevents users' private information from being stolen by others.
This is also thanks to the cooperation between Lu Yiming and Bill Gates, and relevant program modules were loaded into Microsoft's operating system software, so that users can automatically identify USB flash drives produced by Mingyuan Technology after updating the system.
Don't underestimate this, this means that the threshold for using USB flash drives is greatly lowered, and "plug and play" is truly realized, which is of great significance to the popularization of USB flash drives.
This feature alone cannot be matched by other competitors.
Therefore, Huaqi Information lost, and Ammon and Lenovo Group also lost. In this competition between USB flash drives and USB flash drives, even if they tried their best, they still failed in the end.
Within a few days, news came out that the factory of Huaqi Information was closed down and the King Fund Company was bankrupt. At the same time, Dover Amon also left Xia Guo in disgrace, no longer jumping up and down.
As for Pengrun Electrical Appliances and Lenovo Group, they were also affected and suffered heavy losses.
However, just when Lu Yiming thought that everything had settled and the matter was completely over, Zheng Youyuan called.
During this period, Zheng Youyuan handed over the daily management of Youyuan Electronics Factory to Zheng Fengting. Although Zheng Fengting knew nothing, the only business of Youyuan Electronics Factory now was the production of USB flash drives, and Zheng Fengting was not required to do anything.
On the Mingyuan Technology side, Song Honglin was also in charge, so Zheng Youyuan had been recuperating in the hospital. This sudden call caught Lu Yiming off guard.
"Mr. Zheng, how is your recovery going?"
Zheng Youyuan said angrily: "It's much better. Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your concern. The recent events have really troubled you. If you hadn't been in charge of the overall situation, it would have been difficult for the company to survive this crisis."
Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Mr. Zheng, there is no need to say that. Mingyuan Technology has your share, and it also has my share. Besides, this is not a big deal."
Zheng Youyuan said with admiration: "Mr. Lu is really a young hero, and this is nothing. Also, Mr. Lu resolved the crisis with just a few moves, and it is indeed nothing to you."
Then, he added: "By the way, I called you mainly because I was entrusted by someone. There is someone who wants to treat you to dinner tonight."
Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Who is it? I need to trouble you, Mr. Zheng, to convey it."
Zheng Youyuan said frankly: "His name is Zhu Qiankun. He is at Shenghe Seafood City at six o'clock in the evening. He wants to talk to you. Their family is somewhat related to my old Zheng family."
"I see."
Although Lu Yiming didn't like the dinner, and besides, it was a dinner with someone he didn't know, but since he was Zheng Youyuan's friend, Lu Yiming didn't want to offend Zheng Youyuan, so he immediately agreed and said, "Okay, I'll go there then."
After school in the afternoon, Zhao Tiezhu drove Lu Yiming to Shenghe Seafood City in his Audi.
At the gate of Shenghe Seafood City, Zhu Qiankun personally came out to greet him.
"Mr. Lu is here, the shop is in full bloom, please come inside."
Lu Yiming looked up at the restaurant in front of him and asked, "Are you Zhu Qiankun?"
Zhu Qiankun said enthusiastically: "Yes, this Shenghe Seafood City is my small business. A batch of seafood was just shipped from Australia today, and I wanted to invite Mr. Lu to come over and have a taste."
When you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something.
Zhu Qiankun showed such enthusiasm that Lu Yiming did not let him lose face. He said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu is too polite. I have many friends and many paths. It is my honor to know a friend like Mr. Zhu."
The restaurant was very lively, with customers arriving like clouds, which showed that business was very good.
After inviting Lu Yiming into the box and chatting for a few words, Zhu Qiankun went straight to the topic without hiding it and said: "Mr. Lu, we people don't talk secretly. I want to act as an agent for your USB flash drive."
Although Xing'an Group is engaged in foreign trade, it is also very successful domestically, especially in several southeastern coastal provinces, where it has some unique channels.
"You? Agent for my USB flash drive?"
Lu Yiming smiled slightly and said without hesitation: "Okay, welcome."
Of course, Lu Yiming would not refuse this kind of cooperation. Xing'an Group needed to find ways to make money, and Lu Yiming also needed someone to help him sell goods. The two parties hit it off immediately, and in a few words, they finalized their intention to cooperate.
As for the specific details of the contract, how to divide the meat, those are all things that the younger brothers have to do, so naturally they don't need to work for the two elders.
Zhu Qiankun was a generous person, and when he saw Lu Yiming agreeing so simply, he immediately laughed out loud: "Mr. Lu is indeed a big business person, and he does things with ease."
In order to eliminate the gap in Lu Yiming's heart, Zhu Qiankun took the initiative to confess: "Because I didn't know that the USB flash drive was an infringing product, I invested a lot of money in it. I hope Mr. Lu will have a lot of it and don't care about it."
Lu Yiming sighed: "Those who don't know are not guilty. Hey, to tell you the truth, it is too difficult for China to engage in independent research and development these days. Not only do we have to prevent our own people from piracy, but we also have to be slandered by foreigners. We are simply not human inside and outside."
Zhu Qiankun was immediately deeply touched and echoed: "Isn't it? It's just like my dad specializes in export trade. Those foreigners are so stingy that they spend all day trying to keep prices low. The ones who are not up to standard and the ones who exceed the standard are simply
They don’t even look at us seriously. After all, it’s not that we are not strong enough and can only pretend to be grandsons.”
"Yes, if you don't have the strength, you will be bullied."
The two chatted while eating, and they had a lot of exchanges.
Lu Yiming thinks Zhu Qiankun has a good personality and is worth making friends with.
Zhu Qiankun also admired Lu Yiming. As a second-generation rich man, he knew how difficult it was to start from scratch. What's more, the company Lu Yiming opened was an upright business and did not rely on crooked ways to make money. This alone was enough.
It compares with more than 90% of the so-called rich people in the country.
After drinking and eating, Lu Yiming had to rush back for evening self-study. At the door of the hotel, Zhu Qiankun shook hands with Lu Yiming and said: "Mr. Lu, if you have any trouble in the future, just call me and I will solve it without any hesitation."
"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Then I'll say thank you first."
He got into the Audi and said to Zhao Tiezhu: "Go to school...forget it, I'll drink. I won't go to school. Let's go back to Bihailongting."
The car had just started and before he had gone ten meters away, Lu Yiming's phone rang. When he answered it, he found that it was Lin Shuyi calling.
"Beauty Lin, why are you so interested in calling me today?"
Lin Shuyi said: "I'm here to be a lobbyist, and Shi Wuwei wants to talk to you."
Nowadays, Shi Wuwei's life cannot be too miserable.
With Zhu Qiankun's defection, and many investors demanding withdrawal of capital, the King Fund, which had just been founded, was about to be buried in the ground, and the coffin was already nailed tightly.
"Good guy, here comes another one."
Lu Yiming joked: "Now you know how to talk to me? Why did you go there so early?"
Lin Shuyi, who knew Lu Yiming's temper well, was not surprised by Lu Yiming's attitude and immediately said: "Then I refuse."
