Chapter 137: The Pie Is So Big, One Mouth Can't Eat It

For Dongling Gao Ke's first entry into the American market, Li Dongling didn't expect to earn too much. As long as Dongling Gao Ke could do two things in America, Li Dongling would already be satisfied.

The first thing is to establish Dongling Gao Ke's sales channels in North America. This point is crucial. Shenzhou can only be considered a pioneer in pathfinding. With this sales system, Dongling Gao Ke's products can continuously enter the North American market in the future.

Another thing is to establish the impression that Shenzhou is a high-end brand in North America. This point is very important!

Domestic brands, even those that can enter the North American market, have always existed as brands that focus on volume.

Just like in his past life, an American family would say they don't like domestic goods, but from the clothes on their bodies to the slippers on their feet, to electric toothbrushes, televisions, refrigerators, coffee machines, etc., even if the brands are different, the place of production is invariably the mainland.

But the strange thing is, even though the things Americans use are all made in the mainland, the money earned doesn't go into the hands of domestic companies. It is basically divided up by various foreign brands, agents, and dealers. What's left in the hands of domestic production companies is just a bit of hard-earned money, and it has also consumed countless manpower, resources, energy, and the environment.

Li Dongling doesn't want Shenzhou to encounter this situation. In Europe, Shenzhou barely counts as a high-end electronic brand. Although it is only the first step, it has at least gained a firm foothold.

In America and North America, Li Dongling also hopes that Shenzhou can become a representative of high-end brands and can also earn the high value-added returns of the brand. When they hear the name Shenzhou, they are willing to open their wallets, and not just earn a bit of hard-earned money, while also being complained about for poor quality...

Shenzhou must gain a foothold in the high-end digital cordless phone market. As for whether brands like Ximen, General Electric, Philips, and Panasonic can earn money in this line of work in North America, Li Dongling doesn't want to care. Anyway, just use Coolpad and Simon Appliances to engage in price wars with them. Let the fellow Daoists die, not the poor Daoist. Whether they die or not, what does it have to do with Dongling Gao Ke.

Listening to Li Dongling's words, Ren Yuefeng, Zhang Ao, Hu Zi, and others all showed strange expressions on their faces, but they also felt their pressure reduced.

Li Dongling clearly wants to play Tian Ji horse racing, using lower-class horses to trade for the upper-class horses of companies like Ximen and Panasonic. He didn't expect Coolpad and Simon to earn much money; it's just to increase volume and disgust those opponents to death!

"Dongling Gao Ke wants to build the Asian and European markets into Dongling Gao Ke's basic market. As for the North American market, we must also strive for it, but we shouldn't put all our thoughts on America. North American markets like Canada, Mexico, and Panama should also be valued!"

The experience of the Chrysanthemum Factory in his past life has already explained all the problems. When they can't beat you, the Anglo-Saxons will really overturn the table without shame.

You can enter the American market, but if you rely on America to survive, you will definitely be in big trouble. Eggs must never be put in the America basket.

No matter how careful you are in America, it's not too much. Whether it's listing in America or selling products there, you must be much more cautious than elsewhere. The means of attacking opponents there are almost undisguised, and sometimes even blatant robbery.

Besides the Wall Street harvester Luckin Coffee and Boss Jia who is returning to the country next week, who have taken some advantage there, other large and small domestic companies have all suffered losses there.

Ren Yuefeng and others were a bit puzzled when they heard this. Now, how many domestic companies are proud of entering the American market, and regard listing on the NYSE and NASDAQ as an honor and achievement? Li Dongling, however, doesn't seem to be that expectant, which makes them feel a bit strange.

With Li Dongling's words, the group of people at Dongling Gao Ke all knew what to do. They were not prepared to fight Ximen to the death in America, which made it much easier for Zhang Ao and the others.

To sum it up in one sentence: let Shenzhou Telephones maintain its high-end brand positioning in North America, and then use Coolpad and Simon Appliances to fight to the death with Ximen, Panasonic, Philips, American Telephone and Telegraph, etc. This operation was much easier for Ren Yuefeng and Zhang Ao.

After the others left, Ren Yuefeng stayed behind and asked Li Dongling tentatively, "General Li Zong doesn't look favorably on the American market?!"

Looking at Ren Yuefeng, who was frowning, Li Dongling smiled, then got up and opened the window. It was now the turn of autumn and winter, and cold wind rushed in instantly, but it made people feel refreshed.

As the general manager of Dongling Gao Ke, who also handles the size of Dongling Gao Ke's affairs, Li Dongling had nothing to hide from Ren Yuefeng.

He poured a cup of hot tea for Ren Yuefeng, "America is of course one of the most important markets, and it is also very important for Dongling Gao Ke. If we can enter America, it can bring a large amount of revenue to Dongling Gao Ke, but we must also be prepared for the existence of losing it at any time!"

Hearing this, it made Ren Yuefeng frown even more, "Is General Li Zong worried that there will be changes in the American market?!"

As a professional manager, Ren Yuefeng certainly didn't want to believe the saying that a company depends on one person. That is a shame for professional managers like them. If a company cannot do without one person, then what is the significance of others' existence, especially for professional managers.

But currently, Li Dongling is indeed the pillar of Dongling Gao Ke. Ren Yuefeng cannot deny this point. At the current stage, Dongling Gao Ke needs a founder like Li Dongling to sit in command and steer the overall situation. As long as Li Dongling is there, Dongling Gao Ke will not fall, and even if it encounters trouble, it can turn around. The war with Microsoft and Ximen fully explains this point!

And Li Dongling's will has a great influence on everyone in Dongling Gao Ke. Ren Yuefeng has to consider Li Dongling's attitude.

Li Dongling did not deny it, "What America needs is an existence that can act as an OEM for their brand companies, not a brand that can compete with their local brands, or even replace them!"

For Li Dongling's statement, Ren Yuefeng didn't want to believe it at first. America has always touted globalization, as if anyone or any company can go to America to make a fortune and reach the peak of life. But now that he thinks about it, how many people and companies can really gain a firm foothold in America.

Take Hong Kong, where Ren Yuefeng was before, as an example. How many companies and brands wanted to enter the American market, but in the end, they were battered and returned in defeat? Those Hong Kong superstars and directors entered Hollywood full of expectations, wanting to become international superstars, but in the end, no one could stay in Hollywood, and they still had to return to Hong Kong.

And taking Japanese companies that mixed the best in America as an example, those Japanese companies that once clamored to buy the whole of America, Sony, Panasonic, Toyota, Mitsubishi, and a host of companies, besides a few companies like Toyota and Sony that gained a firm foothold in America, other companies like Panasonic and Mitsubishi were swallowed up to the bone in America. After losing a large sum of money, they ran back to Japan in a dejected manner.

Even Toyota and Sony, which seem to be doing quite well in America, have paid a large tuition fee. Either they were pitted by Anglo-Saxon and Jewish financial groups, or they were fined huge compensation. Anyway, after going there, if you don't pay a large "protection fee," don't think about having a good time.

Those Japanese companies are the lessons of the past. Dongling Gao Ke wants to enter the American market and can earn returns, but if it wants to rely entirely on the American market, it is estimated that it will wait to be cut like leeks.

"Dongling Gao Ke wants to enter the American market and must become an 'indispensable' existence. Even if it is targeted, they must pay a huge price!"

Li Dongling looked at Ren Yuefeng and said, "In the future, Dongling Gao Ke must make American companies unable to do without Dongling Gao Ke, not Dongling Gao Ke unable to do without America!"

The order is very important. The result brought by a difference of one word is the difference between heaven and earth. Just like the status of Zhenhua and DJI in America, no matter how hypocritical Americans are, shouting various sanctions and tariffs, but every time they sanction, fine, or add tariffs, DJI raises prices in America, earning back the tariffs and fines with interest.

The reason why they can do this is precisely because American companies cannot do without domestic products like Zhenhua's gantry cranes, DJI, and Autel Robotics. No matter how they target them, the boomerang will eventually be stuck on themselves. How they pretend, they will be slapped in the face.

Li Dongling hopes that Dongling Gao Ke can also become a company like Zhenhua, DJI, and Autel Robotics in the future. It is America that cannot do without Dongling Gao Ke, not Dongling Gao Ke that cannot do without America.

If you don't care about anything, just to stay in America to earn dollars, then you have to accept various investigations and sanctions, and even be sent by America to enter the board of directors as a supervisor...

Listening to Li Dongling's words, all kinds of thoughts flashed through Ren Yuefeng's mind. There were countless words he wanted to say, but he didn't know where to start.

The goal Li Dongling set for Dongling Gao Ke is too ethereal and distant, making Ren Yuefeng feel that it seems impossible to achieve, but it also makes people feel surging with emotion. If one day it can really be done, then Dongling Gao Ke has almost completed the feat that Toshiba and a host of Japanese companies failed to complete, surpassing American companies in the tech industry!

By then, Dongling Gao Ke will not only become the top tech company in the country, but I'm afraid it will also be the top tech company in America, North America, and Europe, or rather, the one that cannot be replaced!

"This is not something to be achieved overnight. However, time is on Dongling Gao Ke's side, isn't it?!" Li Dongling said to Ren Yuefeng with a smile.

Ren Yuefeng nodded. Until he walked out of the office, his mind was still recalling the plan Li Dongling had just made for Dongling Gao Ke. This pie was really too big. It carried a bit of idealism, but it was so tempting.

Ren Yuefeng had never seen Boss Mou, who was also good at drawing big pies, but he had heard of Boss Mou's name. That was running a train in his mouth, and it sounded unreliable as soon as you heard it. But the pie Li Dongling drew, although the difficulty was amazing, it... always made people unconsciously feel that this pie really had a chance to be eaten!
