Chapter 479 Gionee's Rumors
Chapter 479 Gionee's Rumors
"Is it possible?"
Liu De hesitated slightly, after all, this was a drone, and it might crash, which would make him a laughing stock.
But Lei Jun approved a budget of 20 billion yuan for him. If he can't do it without money, and he still can't do it even with money, then he'll be useless!
So he nodded seriously.
Seeing that he reacted, Leibusi continued:
"In that case, let's set a small goal: to surpass everyone else in sales within a year and capture half of the domestic consumer drone market."
I want everyone to know that rice isn't just about following in others' footsteps; we can create new battlefields and define our own rules.
Applause erupted in the conference room, and all the executives wore relaxed smiles. Without the troublemaker, Chuanyin, how could they not succeed?
Of everyone present, only Lin Bin frowned, a vague unease creeping into his heart.
He had read industry reports and learned that DJI had accumulated a long history of flight control gimbal image transmission technology, holding more than 30% of the global market share, and also possessing patents.
The technological barriers cannot be easily overcome by simply piling on specifications and engaging in price wars.
But Lao Lei had finally returned to the state he was in during the early stages of his business, and he couldn't bear to speak carelessly, so he swallowed his words in the end.
…………
Meanwhile, at Transsion headquarters, Li Qing walked into Shen Fei's office with a report in his hand.
"President Shen, according to our people's report, the rice company has established a drone business unit."
Preparing to enter the consumer drone market.
Drones?
Upon hearing that familiar name, Shen Fei suddenly grinned.
He knew perfectly well that the consumer drone market in his previous life was originally very quiet, but it started to get chaotic after a certain competitor entered the market.
This really annoyed DJI!
Later, during Lei Jun's live stream, their drones actually performed a famous painting from the 19th century. It seems like this last entrepreneurial venture is going to be quite something.
"Mr. Shen, shall we go in too?"
Although Li Qing didn't know what Shen Fei was laughing about, he knew perfectly well that this new venture by Da Mi would probably add another bunch of jokes to the industry.
"Let's not go in yet. Let's just send this message to everyone and have Huang Tianya invest some more money!"
Also, you should send a team to help DJI with their advertising! Their advertising is just awful.
After saying that, Shen Fei gave him a look of disdain.
Although technology can conquer all, before the rice drone crashes, let's try to help as much as possible.
"Understood, I'll arrange for someone to go right away."
Li Qing also showed the same smile as Shen Fei, after all, DJI's advertising is indeed easy to backfire on.
Just as Shen Fei learned that the rice company was about to launch a new round of entrepreneurship, Liu Lirong was sitting in the chair that used to belong to Lu Weibin in the Gionee headquarters building in Futian District, Shenzhen, and was throwing a tantrum.
After all, his head butler is gone, so he can't suck blood anymore!
After he finished venting his anger, the public relations director, looking troubled, finally said:
"Mr. Liu, with Mr. Wu gone, the mobile phone business is completely left unattended, and things are in complete chaos overseas."
The supplier is pressing for payment again, and three bank loans are due next month. We are currently...
"What's the panic?"
Liu Lirong interrupted him, stubbed out her cigar in the ashtray, and suddenly laughed:
"It's not a bad thing that Lu Weibin is gone! It's a good thing."
"Good news?"
The PR director, who hadn't quite grasped his train of thought, asked, somewhat confused.
"What do you know?"
Liu Lirong stood up, looking at the resignation letter with a calculating look in her eyes.
"Gionee is in such a mess now, even a god couldn't save it."
Rather than waiting to be liquidated through bankruptcy, it's better to make a final profit.
I was still trying to figure out a solution.
Now the opportunity has arrived.
"Transsion has announced that our group president poached our core employees. What is this? This is unfair competition, this is malicious poaching."
He turned around, his tone slightly excited.
"Let's use this as an excuse to make a big scene, so we can gain sympathy and public opinion, and also get a settlement fee from Chuan Ying."
If all else fails, they can portray the company as a victim, find a sucker to take over, and still sell it for a good price.
The PR director initially thought that Transsion had people on board and the plan probably couldn't be implemented, but after hearing the subsequent arrangements, he felt it might be feasible!
So what if Shen Fei has a father-in-law and the attention of his superiors? Unfair competition should be punished.
So he quickly started praising Liu Lirong:
"Brilliant! Mr. Liu, you're brilliant. I'll arrange the press conference this afternoon and notify all the media to attend."
……
That afternoon, Gionee held an impromptu press conference.
Liu Lirong specially chose a wrinkled black suit, her face showing a haggard expression. Standing in front of the press conference stage, she tearfully addressed all the media below the stage.
"Dear media, thank you for your help."
We need to trouble you all to make a trip for some company matters.
But there's nothing I can do; I'm truly heartbroken today.
Gionee has been in the mobile phone business for over 10 years and is considered a veteran in the industry, but we have never used our status to suppress others. On the contrary, we have always done business honestly and conscientiously.
Unexpectedly, the other party used their capital and connections to launch a bottomless attack on us.
At this point, he raised his hand to wipe his eyes, his voice choked with emotion:
"As early as two years ago, they were already maliciously dumping goods at low prices in overseas markets, seizing our channels, and targeting our supply chain."
We have never publicized these things because we are not as skilled as others, and this is something we should bear.
We thought our weakness would let this go!
But the enemy will not stop because of our retreat; on the contrary, they will become even more aggressive.
Upon seeing this, he instantly burst into tears.
At the same time, a reporter at the scene immediately called Li Qing.
"Sister Li, is this true? Should we post it...?"
"That's pure rumor! We'll issue a statement soon, whether you issue it or not depends on your leadership, but we will definitely hold those responsible for the leaked message accountable."
"I understand!"
After receiving the call, Li Qing's publicity and legal departments immediately began to cooperate.
Liu Lirong wiped away her tears and continued speaking:
"Yesterday they not only poached our group president, but also all of our cautious R&D staff."
They're trying to drive Gionee to its knees, aiming to create an industry monopoly and destroy the entire ecosystem of the domestic mobile phone industry.
"I urge the regulatory authorities to intervene and investigate, and I also call on our peers to unite and prevent Transsion from becoming a monopoly and doing whatever it wants."
After the press conference, these reporters did not conduct any investigation and directly released the press release because Liu Lirong fit the image of a victim!
They need to help these kinds of people get justice.
Moreover, the general public loves this kind of gossip, and of course, they can also take the opportunity to make another profit.
