“Then why did you guys agree to come down?” Ji Feng’s face didn’t look too good, the Four Star Group’s approach was really a bit excessive, he couldn’t help but say, “Since the Four Star Group came in such a hurry and didn’t even greet you in advance, then you could have refused!”
The Four Star Group’s people said they would come, so they could come?
If they want to come, they have to see if we are available, if it is convenient for them, if they are in the mood ……
The first thing you need to do is to get a notice from the Four Star Group, and it’s only two hours in advance, so the Tengfei Group is busy, just to entertain the Four Star Group.
Even without seeing it with his own eyes, Ji Feng could imagine that once he received the call from the Four Star Group, Han Zhong and Xiao Yuxuan were busy making all kinds of arrangements, such as how to receive the Four Star Group people when they arrived. And then, the four-star group of people will not again visit the production plant and so on, workers, production, logistics, etc., all aspects must be arranged, can not make any chaos ……
This will make the entire group of employees unsettled, I’m afraid.
And this, is because of the sudden attack of the Four Star Group.
So when he thought of this, Ji Feng’s heart was suddenly a little fired up. The people of the Four Star Group were indeed arrogant and disgusting, and even made people’s hearts burn.
But in Ji Feng’s view, Han Zhong and Xiao Yuxuan were not without blame!
“He Four Star Group’s people said they wanted to come over, and you guys agreed to do it without saying anything?” Ji Feng couldn’t help but shake his head and said, “It’s true that their Four Star Group is a multinational group, a giant group in the world’s electronics industry, but so what? We can’t listen to them for everything just because of that, right? It’s made to look like a visit from the top …… and it’s a surprise attack!”
Han Zhong laughed bitterly, “Actually, this can’t be helped.”
When Ji Feng heard that, he couldn’t help but frown and asked in surprise, “No way? What do you mean there’s no way out? When they called, you could have said that you didn’t have time to entertain them now and asked them to make another appointment, why would it be like this now?”
Han Zhong shook his head and said, “That’s not the way to say it, the Four Star Group came this time, stating that they are here for inspection, they came with the intention of cooperation, if we reject them rashly, maybe this time the cooperation will break down, which is very unfavorable for us to bring 3D TV sets to the global market …… ”
“What words!”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but frown and said, “If you have to stoop to the lowest level in order to cooperate, then I see very little need for this kind of cooperation. What’s the point of this cooperation if you have to suffer so much anger just to cooperate?”
Han Zhong shook his head with a bitter smile and said, “Ji Feng, you are too radical in your thinking. In fact, the people of the Four Star Group are just a bit arrogant, they think of themselves as the industry’s leading boss, so they have a feeling of bossing people around when they speak to them, which is a phenomenon that can be found in any large company.”
After a pause, Han Zhong continued, “In fact, ah, the key is that we currently do not have this ability to talk to the Four Star Group on an equal footing …… don’t stare yet, it’s not that we don’t have this potential, in fact, our 3D technology is now the world’s leading, even the world’s largest electronic companies, have not yet mastered this technology, this is our advantage.”
Ji Feng frowned: “Then why are you still saying that we are not yet capable of talking to the Four Star Group on an equal footing?”
Han Zhong said, “It’s not because of the countries’ trade protection policies!”
Ji Feng’s gaze suddenly froze, and his heart suddenly dawned on him.
This was something that he had forgotten, and he couldn’t help but shake his head, “I was almost confused by the Four Star Group’s people, and I didn’t think about this for a while.”
Trade protection!
This term is actually not unfamiliar to many businessmen, although each one is called differently, it means the same thing.
Every country, to a certain extent, protects its own country’s goods and businesses, this protection, directly from policy, is a direct government intervention.
For example, in order to protect the electronics industry in their own country, the Kerry government, on the one hand, encourages its citizens to support national products by not buying as much or as little foreign electronics as possible and to buy as many products as possible from their own companies.
But this is only one of the means, and it can not be enforced, after all, what the people want to buy, that is the freedom of the people, the government, even if it is more powerful, can not even control this, right?
…… Except, of course, for North Kerry, a country so unique as to be almost monstrous, that is almost a family dynasty, and many rules that are common in the world do not make sense in this country.
And since this strategy of getting the people to support their own country’s products is not enforceable, to truly protect the country’s products, other methods are needed.
Raising tax rates is one of those ways.
For example, if the Tengfei Group’s 3D TV sets were to enter another country’s market for sale, they might have to face the harsh reality of being heavily taxed.
If you add in transportation, labour and various other costs, and then face extremely high taxes, then even if you enter foreign markets, you will have to sell them at extremely high prices in order to recover your costs and then make a profit.
But if the price is set too high, consumers will naturally not be too motivated to buy, and then the brand may be ruined instead.
This is why the Tengfei Group knows that its products are leading and unique in the world, but it does not dare to push them to the international market easily, not because the products are not superior or the quality and ability of the group’s staff cannot keep up, but because people will not let such obviously leading products enter their own countries so easily.
“The Four Star Group is a large multinational group that has sales channels all over the world, and in the area of electronic products, it has a very good reputation in markets all over the world.” Han Zhong said, “If we want the 3D TV sets, as well as other products produced by the Tengfei Group in the future, to enter the international market, it would be best if we could cooperate with the Four Star Group.”
“Even if we want to cooperate, we don’t necessarily have to use the Four Star Group’s sales channels and have to stoop so low to cooperate with the Four Star Group!” Ji Feng hummed.
“In fact, other multinational companies are the same, compared to those large multinational groups, we are actually the weak ones!” Han Zhong said, “Besides, considering all aspects, cooperating with the Four Star Group is actually the best choice.”
“It’s better to reconsider, I personally think that if the Four Star Group still does this kind of thing, then it’s better not to consider cooperation.” Ji Feng said in a deep voice: “A cooperation that doesn’t get respect, there’s no point in continuing!”
“Actually ……”
Han Zhong shook his head: “How can I say this, there are certainly options to get respect, but I’m just afraid that you may not agree.”
Ji Feng was stunned: “What do you mean?”
Han Zhong said, “Actually, out of the Four Star Group, there are many other large multinational group companies that have come to talk to us, but because it happened to be the Chinese New Year before, we only had preliminary intentional contacts with those companies and did not have too in-depth exchanges. However, based on the results of the initial contacts, there are a few of them that are more suitable for cooperation ……”
Seeing that Han Zhong’s gaze fell on him, Ji Feng asked, “Which companies are they? Tell us.”
“Germany’s Simonds, Rice, England, France and several other countries’ large groups have all had contact with us, and of course ……” Han Zhong paused here: “The sectoral pine on group! ”
“Song Shang Group?” Ji Feng’s eyebrows immediately furrowed, “That’s the Matsunami Group that makes up commercials into children’s songs so that children can sing them?”
“That’s right, that’s them!” Han Zhong nodded his head.
This instance Ji Feng was talking about Han Zhong certainly knew, back then the Matsunami Group had made up their advertising slogans into children’s songs to impress some little kids, and as these little kids grew up into adults, they became the main consumers, and this was the time when the sales of the Matsunami Group’s electrical appliances started to skyrocket!
This cla*sic marketing technique is widely praised and as a businessman, it is naturally impossible not to be aware of such a cla*sic business tactic.
“The Matsukami Group also has a very extensive sales network around the world, moreover, when they contacted us, they didn’t show any arrogance, instead they had a very good attitude, I believe that if we both cooperate, we will definitely gain more benefits than if we cooperate with the Four Star Group!” Han Zhong said.
“A good attitude?”
Ji Feng shook his head and smiled, saying, “The Kepong people are wolves and ambitious! It’s not that I’m that cynical, but I’m not willing to let the Kepong people use us to make money anyhow.”
Han Zhong said, “I knew it, you definitely won’t agree to cooperate with the Kepong people.”
“The matter of cooperation can be postponed for now, but this Song Shang Group’s name, however, can be used for a while.” Ji Feng said.
“How can I use it?” Han Zhong asked in confusion.
“That would be simple ……,” Ji Feng stood up and said, “Where are the people from the Four Star Group now? Take me there.”
“Ji Feng, don’t be impulsive when you get there.” Han Zhong said, “Be as restrained as possible and try not to make a move. After you made a move to beat up those few Kepong people here last time, they went around to discredit us ……”
“There’s still this?”
Ji Feng sneered and said, “Alright, as long as those Kerry people don’t go too far, I won’t make a move …… Let’s go, let’s hurry over, after such a long delay, now Yu Xuan must be waiting impatiently.”
“Let’s go then, they’re all still in the conference room right now.” Han Zhong also stood up.
