Chapter 665 Declaration of War!

In the early 1990s.

The wave of joint ventures emerged.

Foreign technical equipment and advanced business concepts impacted countless local Chinese companies.

Either in response to reform or in response to opening up, their own brands could have a broader market and go international more easily...

Countless local companies were acquired by foreign capital in a smile and enthusiasm.

However, what awaited them was not what they imagined. They went abroad and stood on the world's track, but suddenly disappeared when they were the hottest...

It wasn't long before overseas brands put on a layer of domestic brands and entered China. Unknowingly, they occupied the food, clothing, housing and transportation of countless Chinese people...

The decline of national enterprises has invisibly created an illusion that domestic products are not as good as foreign products...

But they never thought that foreign capital's "suppression" of domestic brands in the name of "acquisition" was the culprit for the decline of domestic products...

Reject acquisition and be a hard bone?

After the millennium, the capital frenzy raged in China. In the eyes of countless bloody eyes, those domestic brands that refused to be acquired were suppressed, besieged, and forced to go out of the market.

In the end, they were either on the verge of bankruptcy, or withdrew from the market, or struggled to survive...

………………………………

November 10.

The wind was very cold in the early morning.

Zhang Yuanqiao of [Suzhou Yiguo] sat in the office, smoking one cigarette after another.

The wind outside the window blew over, and he still couldn't help feeling a piercing chill.

There were constant knocks on the door in the office, and assistants came in and out, with complicated expressions carrying a series of termination agreements.

Among them, there were [Chuangdu TV], [Jinhong Refrigerator], [Songsen Air Conditioner], [Mitsubishi Air Conditioner]...

Zhang Yuanqiao heard the news.

These first-line brands have all gone to [PaiPai Mall] and Ma Yunhua's [Taozhu.com].

He even heard a message that these big brands will appear in the market at the extreme cost price in the early morning of November 11.

From TVs to air conditioners, from washing machines to refrigerators...

A cruel and cold siege is about to tear apart the online sales system that they [Suzhou Yiguo] have just established.

He saw the board members running in and out, and the shareholders looked very unhappy, shouting to withdraw their investment, and heard a series of quarrels...

At three o'clock in the morning, Chen Zhengmao, the major shareholder of [Suzhou Electric], called him.

"Lao Zhang, I'm talking to you for the last time. Do you really want to go all the way?"

"I heard that someone said that if we don't stop, then Double 11 will be the death of our [Suzhou Electric]!"

"..."

Zhang Yuanqiao heard the dry voice of the other party, and he felt that his heart was stabbed hard, but he did not respond.

He sat in a chair, staring blankly out the window, a little dazed.

At about four o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yuanqiao heard a message.

Chen Zhengmao and many shareholders were ready to sell their shares of [Suzhou Electric Appliances] and at the same time, they were also ready to cut their shares.

Half an hour after hearing the news, Chen Zhengmao rushed into his office again with a group of shareholders.

They talked in the office for a long time, until the next morning...

The shareholders finally left the office with ugly faces.

"Don't blame us, we just want to make money, we are not young anymore, we don't want to gamble with you anymore..."

Zhang Yuanqiao watched the shareholders walk out of the gate of [Suzhou Electric Appliances] headquarters one by one.

He did not retain them, nor did he speak, but just stared at their backs until they disappeared in the distance.

Capital is cold.

When the market opened in the morning, the news of [termination of cooperation] released by capital and major brands, as well as the news that shareholders left [Suzhou Electric Appliances] one by one, caused [Suzhou Electric Appliances] stocks to plummet instantly. On the contrary, [Paipai Mall] stocks rose instantly...

Zhang Yuanqiao heard countless dissuasion voices.

At this moment, he seemed to have become synonymous with "impulsive", "self-destruction" and "losing integrity".

He also received a call from Zhou Haopeng, who was unusually firm.

"This is a battle we must fight, we have no way out!"

At noon, Zhang Yuanqiao heard a knock on the door in the office.

It was not a shareholder, nor was it capital, but Zhou Haopeng.

Zhou Haopeng's steps were fast, and he was very excited. He brought a contract, a contract for a domestic brand.

Zhou Haopeng was about to let Zhang Yuanqiao take a look, but he saw Zhang Yuanqiao stand up.

"Mr. Zhang?"

"From now on, you sit here!"

"Ah?"

Zhang Yuanqiao pointed to his seat, then patted Zhou Haopeng on the shoulder. When Zhou Haopeng was a little stunned, he walked out of the office: "I'm going to rest."

In the huge office, Zhou Haopeng stared blankly at Zhang Yuanqiao's back as he left.

………………………………

This is a stranglehold from capital.

This stranglehold is not only aimed at Zhang Sheng's Double 11, the so-called [National Products Festival], but also at countless domestic brands.

In the early morning of November 10th.

Almost all well-known domestic brands have received warnings from capital, and some people call it the final ultimatum!

However, when they stepped into Zhang Sheng's conference room, the group of people who had heard Zhang Sheng's pre-war declaration were very hardened and ignored the warning invariably.

Then, the next morning, negative social news from all directions swallowed up these brands in an instant.

Some people call [Miscellaneous Cancer], some people say that [Meiling Air Conditioner] explodes, and some people say that [Shenchuan Computer] always crashes...

Behind the negative news, I don’t know when, countless experts stood up and began to use scientific data that many young people did not understand, but they were very high-level. When talking about these brands, they are actually cutting corners... …

The internal affairs of these brands are also in chaos. The internal boards of directors have different opinions and quarrels continue. Some people in the external stock market are maliciously selling stocks...

【Meiling Air Conditioner】.

"Terminate cooperation. If we do not terminate cooperation with Zhang Sheng, we will terminate your purchase of air conditioning compressors!"

"In the first quarter of next year, you can go find your own domestic compressors!"

"If you are tough, don't use our R compressor, use a domestic compressor!"

"..."

When He Maowei returned to the company, before he could talk to his father He Kangjian about the upcoming Double 11, he received a phone call.

The phone call was from the [Ling Nei Compressor] factory.

[Meiling Air Conditioner] has been using [Lingnei Compressor] over the years. In fact, not only [Meiling Air Conditioning] but even many domestic air conditioners use [Lingnei Compressor].

[Ling Nei Compressor] Although it has a factory in China, which is considered a joint venture between China and Japan, the internal management system has already followed the R management system, and the person in charge is R himself.

After receiving the call, He Maowei's lungs exploded with anger!

But the tremendous pressure that followed forced him to consider a problem.

Although Huaxia's self-developed compressor system has been researched over the years, and even Meiling Air Conditioning itself has been thinking about it, the finished product has never been as good as Linnei Compressor.

If you don’t have [Ling Nei Compressor], should you look for a compressor from Laomei?

He talked with his father, He Kangjian. He Kangjian did not give in at first, but continued to communicate with [Ling Nei] and various compressor companies in the United States.

However, it seems that everyone has colluded with each other, just one sentence.

You can cooperate with any of us, but the premise is that you are not allowed to participate in Double 11 this time. If you want to survive, don’t participate!

He Kangjian suddenly looked back, feeling a little dazed, but then he felt an unprecedented sense of fear.

He felt a web that had been woven by capital a long, long time ago. You either cooperate with capital and make money safely, or you wait to die!

It's like having an egg held in someone's hand!

You can't go left, you can't go right, you can't go forward, you can only go in one direction.

"It turns out that we are already puppets."

He Kangjian sighed, then smiled bitterly.

But then, he looked at his son He Maowei: "What are you going to do?"

He Maowei was angry. After being angry for a long time, he calmed down: "Dad, there are thousands or tens of thousands of employees standing behind us. They all rely on us for food. If one day, we fall, then they..."

"I didn't ask you these questions, I asked you, what are you going to do?" He Kangjian stared at He Maowei.

"I..." He Maowei was silent for a long time: "Dad, I... I suddenly felt like I was waking up from a dream. We advertise ourselves as domestic air conditioners. In terms of sales volume over the years, except for [Gray Air Conditioner], we are the second largest. , our sales have not been bad over the years, and we are the pride of the nation. However, at this moment, I suddenly realized that we are just an assembly brand at best, and we do not have any national core technology at all, so-called R&D. What have we developed? We are not even a little bit different from those overseas technologies. Our investment in research and development..."

"..." He Kangjian nodded.

This time, he also felt like he was waking up from a dream.

"dad!"

"explain!"

"I still want to fight again, and I don't want to kneel! If we ourselves have to kneel, then no one will hold us back!"

"..."

"Dad, many people are watching us. If we shrink back, as a domestic brand, we shrink back, then maybe more domestic brands will shrink back like us this time. By then, we will always be under foreign investment. Controllers, we will never be able to escape the cage set by foreign capital. We will always be trapped. Even if we are alive now, we will only be walking zombies or puppets in the future!"

"..."

"We must fight this battle. Not only must we fight, but we must also express our determination and set an example for those behind us! Of course, we will invest more money in research and development from now on. I don't believe it. , we can build an atomic bomb, but we can’t build a good compressor with a small one..."

"..."

He Maowei gritted his teeth and looked at his father.

He saw his father's whole body trembled, and then looked at him with some relief on his face: "Okay! Let's fight this battle! Everything is at your command!"

After hearing his father's support, He Maowei nodded excitedly.

Immediately afterwards, he called the project team of [Meiling Air Conditioning] and told the project team his decision immediately.

When it's all said and done...

He Maowei himself posted a message on his Weibo!

[We will support Zhang Sheng, support the [Double 11 National Products Festival], and support [Suzhou E-Commerce]! We will fight as long as you want! ]

After finishing this message.

He Maowei saw that Deng Haizhu of [Grey Air Conditioning] forwarded his Weibo.

Then, he added the text: "We [Grey Air Conditioning] will also participate in Mr. Zhang's National Products Festival, we will not avoid or retreat!"
