Chapter 1410: Home Theater

Old Sun was silent for a while again: "Director Xiong has been placed under 'two regulations'."

"Ah?" Lu Qingshou was so scared that his legs went soft, and he almost sat on the ground: "How... how is this possible? Why was Director Xiong suddenly..."

"This is a long story." Old Sun's tone was very heavy: "Anyway, you guys didn't go to the electronics factory, so you escaped a disaster."

"What do you mean?" Lu Qingshou was so anxious that he wanted to crawl along the phone line to find Old Sun: "Can you just tell me clearly? Do you want to worry me to death?"

"There's nothing to say." Old Sun didn't want to talk much to Lu Qingshou; this wasn't something to be proud of: "You don't need to ask; you'll know when you get back."

"Beep, beep, beep..."

"Hello? Hello!"

Lu Qingshou was so angry that he almost smashed the phone, breathing heavily. Then he made several more calls, but couldn't find anyone, and finally had to give up.

When he arrived at the hospital, Jiao Mingmei, who was lying on the bed gnawing on an apple, greeted him.

"Old Lu, how is it? Has Director Xiong finished his inspection? When are we going back?"

Lu Qingshou said with a heavy heart: "They have already gone back."

"Gone back?" Jiao Mingmei was stunned: "They went back, why didn't they notify us?"

The other two female colleagues looked at Lu Qingshou, also feeling very confused.

"I called Old Sun." Remembering Old Sun's words, Lu Qingshou's voice trembled: "Director Xiong has been placed under 'two regulations'."

"Clatter!"

The apple in Jiao Mingmei's hand fell onto the bed, then rolled onto the floor.

"What... what did you say?"

The other two female colleagues stared fixedly at Lu Qingshou, wanting to see if he was joking.

"Director Xiong has been placed under 'two regulations'." Lu Qingshou said again: "Old Sun said he was just interviewed by the department's discipline inspection team and came home; he didn't sleep all night."

Jiao Mingmei was dumbfounded: "What exactly is going on? What did Old Sun say?"

Lu Qingshou shook his head: "He also said that we didn't follow them to the electronics factory, so we escaped a disaster; he didn't say anything else."

"Didn't you ask?"

A female colleague was anxious. Xiong Zhaoming was placed under 'two regulations', Old Sun was interviewed, and the others definitely couldn't escape.

Although Old Sun said they escaped a disaster, they were now completely in the dark, knowing nothing; how could they not be afraid?

"I asked."

Lu Qingshou was also very depressed: "But he didn't say, just told me I would know when I got back. Then I called others, whether in the department or at home, no one answered. I guess it's highly likely they were interviewed and haven't returned yet."

Jiao Mingmei struggled to sit up: "Quick, discharge from the hospital, let's go back."

"But your foot." A female colleague was in a dilemma.

"Go buy a wheelchair." Jiao Mingmei was very uneasy; she had to go back, or she definitely wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

"Good!" A female colleague nodded: "I'll go buy a wheelchair, Sister Qian will handle the discharge, Old Lu will go buy tickets, as fast as possible."

They regretted coming to Jiangzhou this time; otherwise, how could they be so terrified?

The three of them worked together and boarded the train back to Fengjing after ten o'clock.

At this time, Zhou Andong was accompanying Comrade Old Jian to investigate at the electronics factory, with Liu Qingjun explaining on the side.

"The Yuzhou VCD went on sale yesterday. Last night, we received reports from all sales points; a total of 176 units were sold, most of which were home theater combinations."

Zhou Andong said: "Not bad, keep up the good work."

Jian Zhengxue asked: "Is it being distributed nationwide?"

"Yes!" Liu Qingjun nodded: "First and second-tier cities, and a few third and fourth-tier cities have already been stocked."

Jian Zhengxue looked at Zhou Andong: "Nationwide distribution, selling 176 units a day, is that a lot?"

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "It's not bad. Our advertising started late, and it's a new brand. Competing with international big brands like Sony and Hitachi, selling 176 units on the first day of listing, I am still quite satisfied."

Liu Qingjun said: "It's still our subsidy policy that played a big role. In addition, there is the home theater combination, which international brands like Sony and Hitachi don't have."

Jian Zhengxue asked: "What subsidy policy, and what is a home theater combination?"

Liu Qingjun introduced: "The Yuzhou VCD is priced at 3,266, which is 1,700 to 2,300 cheaper than international brands like Sony.

Considering that we are a domestic brand, and most consumers who can afford to buy VCDs wouldn't care about this difference of one or two thousand and would choose imported brands.

So the Chairman came up with this subsidy policy: employees of enterprises and public institutions, as long as they are Party members, can enjoy a subsidy of 800 yuan.

In this way, the price of the VCD dropped to under 3,000, and the price difference was completely opened up. Some people don't care about a difference of 2,000, but a difference of more than 3,000 is impossible to ignore.

After all, no one's money comes from a strong wind, and with the price dropping to under 3,000, it can also stimulate the purchasing desire of some potential customers."

Chen He asked confusedly: "Why make it so complicated? Can't you just set the price under 3,000?"

Liu Qingjun said with a smile: "Yuzhou wants to build a high-end brand. If the price is set too low, people will think of Yuzhou as cheap as soon as they hear it. How can we compete with international brands like Sony?

But it won't work if we don't lower the price, and we can't affect brand recognition, so our Chairman thought of this subsidy method."

"Understood." Chen He nodded, and the others also suddenly realized.

Zhou Andong is Zhou Andong; being able to turn a local distillery into a nationally famous liquor enterprise is indeed not simple.

Director Tai asked: "If someone can afford it but doesn't have a Party member certificate, what should they do? Aren't you blocking some consumers outside the door?"

Liu Qingjun laughed: "If you don't have a Party member certificate, you can borrow one. We didn't stipulate that you can't sell if you borrow a Party member certificate."

Everyone was stunned, and then burst into laughter.

Talking and chatting, they arrived at the factory office building and entered a very luxuriously decorated room.

In the middle was a set of home theater, a 21-inch large color TV, and below it was a Yuzhou VCD and an amplifier. On both sides were two speakers half a person tall and four small speakers.

"Secretary, this is the home theater."

Everyone walked up to it, looking curiously.

Liu Qingjun operated it, turned on the TV, VCD, and amplifier, put in a disc, and held the remote control to demonstrate to the leaders.

"Leaders, look, this is the song selection function. Whatever song you want to sing, you can choose it on the interface."

Liu Qingjun pressed the confirm button, the music sounded, and he picked up the microphone and started singing.

I love you, the snow of the North, drifting and scattering all over the sky.

Your dancing posture is so light, your heart is so pure.

You are the sister of the spring rain, you are the envoy sent by spring, the envoy of spring.

"..."

Zhou Andong said: "Home theater, not only can you watch movies at home, but you can also sing karaoke at home." ===== CHAPTER 1411 =====
