Chapter 510 Murderous
The press conference held by the nine major mobile phone manufacturers has ended, but the fermentation of this matter has just begun.
Of course, many mobile phone manufacturers know that this commitment letter will definitely make many people feel that they are cutting leeks. After all, if they join forces and do not lower prices, this will damage the interests of consumers and they will definitely be criticized.
So when the news about the joint signing of the commitment letter was published, they immediately took out the killer move they had already prepared, which was to have many executives and experts come out to analyze why this commitment letter appeared and what the reasons were. Then it directly targets flower growers to engage in price wars in Africa.
Concentrating all the firepower on Flower Planters, who are willing to use money earned domestically to subsidize the African market in order to seize the African market, is to put Flower Planters Technology Co., Ltd. on the fire, thereby diverting people from the essence of their commitment.
Later that day, many portal websites had executives and experts in the industry writing articles explaining this commitment letter.
"Nine of the top 10 manufacturers in the domestic mobile phone industry have signed the letter of commitment, but only Zhonghuajia Technology Co., Ltd. has not signed. The specific reason is unknown.
However, judging from the fact that many executives jointly issued this commitment letter, it should be related to the price war started directly after the launch of the mobile phone business half a year ago, which led to the chaos and disorder in the mobile phone market..."
“It is reported that the reason why so many manufacturers are launching commitment letters now is not because of the domestic mobile phone market. It is understood that in the African mobile phone market, flower growers are now starting a price war, and they are selling at a loss, in order to seize more opportunities. This kind of behavior harms the interests of many manufacturers, so this letter of commitment is..."
"Flower growers in the African market have started a price war. The cheapest mobile phone has dropped to 188. Such a price is a loss. Therefore, we have reason to suspect that flower growers use the money they earn domestically to subsidize African consumers.
Many mobile phone manufacturers were unwilling to do this, so they joined forces to formulate this commitment..."
...
It can be said that in a very short period of time, such news was overwhelming, all pointing to flower growers using the money they earned at home to subsidize African consumers. This seriously harmed the feelings of the people, and is a typical example of killing cooked animals rather than killing them.
There are now over 100 million Internet users, and the speed at which this kind of information spreads across the entire Internet at the same time is very fast.
For a time, netizens who did not know the truth on the Internet began to attack Zhonghuajia Technology Co., Ltd. under the guidance of thoughtful people. All comments basically accused Zhonghuajia Technology Co., Ltd. of being evil. With all this money to subsidize Africa, why not subsidize it domestically? consumers, lower the price?
In Chen Changliu's office, Feng Xiao, Wu Bo, Ke Meng, Zhou Liming, Huang Zhang and others were all there. It should be said that after the news spread that the nine major manufacturers jointly held a press conference to sign the letter of commitment, several of them received a call from Chen Changliu. Notified to come for a meeting.
Feng Lin, the manager of the public relations department, walked in helplessly. He was not surprised to see all these senior executives there. He looked at Chen Changliu and said:
"Mr. Chen, the current public opinion on the Internet cannot be suppressed at all. The other party's move is too cruel. They want to put all consumers against us. This matter must be resolved, otherwise the impact on the company will be too great." ”
Chen Changliu was not in a hurry at this time. It's not that he had anticipated his opponent's plan. In fact, he really never thought that his opponent would join forces to come up with such a commitment letter, and then use resources to spread and insinuate it on the Internet.
"That's what happened. Now the Internet is so angry that our public relations department can't suppress it at all. We can't guide netizens and tell them that other companies' prices have also dropped. These netizens just won't stop now..."
After listening to Feng Lin's words, all the executives frowned. This is very difficult.
Ke Meng suddenly said:
“Everyone, what our opponents are seizing on now is that we proactively provoke a price war and preemptively say that we use the money we earn domestically to subsidize foreign countries. Now it is more difficult to guide other manufacturers.
The essence of the problem is whether we use money to subsidize African consumers, so we can issue an announcement to tell netizens that the products we sell in Africa are still profitable, let alone use the money earned domestically to subsidize African consumers. , so as long as netizens see that we are still making money, they won’t have any objections. "
Ke Meng's method is good, but some people have also asked, how can we prove that we are not selling products at a loss? If netizens question, should we list the costs of all parts?
Ke Meng didn't know how to answer this time, because this is a fact. It is impossible for the company to list the cost and price of all spare parts, so it will not be able to dispel the suspicion of netizens.
There are also executives who feel that they don’t have to worry about it and just wait until the heat is over.
Chen Changliu did not express his opinion. After listening to the opinions of all the managers, Chen Changliu thought quietly. Everyone was looking at him quietly to find this young boss, because every time at this time, it was... He made the right decision every time, and the conference room suddenly fell silent.
Suddenly Chen Changliu patted the table gently and said with a murderous look on his face:
“Don’t they want to make us look bad? Don’t they want us to stop the price war and keep our existing market share?
Okay, great, I am not as good as they wanted, this time we just flipped the table. "
After hearing what Chen Changliu said, everyone looked grim. They knew their boss was definitely going to cause trouble next.
"We have three things to do next.
First, Mr. Feng will issue an announcement on behalf of the company to tell everyone that our products in Africa are not sold at a price below cost.
At the same time, it is directly stated in the announcement that many of our spare parts are self-sufficient, even the mobile phone batteries and assembly are our own, and the cost is definitely not comparable to those pure assembly brands.
We dare to say that we have never sold at a loss. Which manufacturer has doubts and dares to announce the prices of all spare parts at the same time as us?
Also, in the African market, the prices of mobile phones of other manufacturers are the same as ours, and their costs are higher than ours. This is the real use of domestic money to subsidize the African market!
At the same time, it is necessary to tactfully express who broke through the floor price of mobile phones and brought the price of mobile phones to 468 for the first time?
Zhonghuajia is the company that is willing to supply high-quality and affordable products to the people, but even so, those black-hearted manufacturers have united and do not want Zhonghuajia to provide the people with more cost-effective mobile phones."
Chen Changliu's words were not polite at all, and he directly pointed the spearhead at other mobile phone manufacturers, which made all the executives on the scene murderous.
Yes, our company is the one that wants to provide cost-effective mobile phones to the public, but in the end we were framed and attacked by others.
