Chapter 575: Creating Momentum
Duan Yongping, the head of BBK, and his several right-hand men—his proud disciples Chen Mingyong, Shen Wei, Jin Zhijiang, and others—were also watching the news on TV about Dongling High-Tech's new products.
What is called style, what is called influence in the world of business, what is called stomping your feet and the world of business will shake—now they felt it.
They also realized why Liu Bang and Xiang Yu said, "A great man should be like this," when they saw the First Emperor traveling back then.
Ask yourself, which domestic electronic and technology company doesn't want Dongling High-Tech's influence? Even Duan Yongping couldn't maintain that high-level, indifferent style at this moment; he hadn't achieved success yet!
When the Dongling High-Tech concept stocks appeared, it was no longer remembered, but it was one of the technology concept stock sectors in the domestic A-shares now, just like the Apple concept stocks and the Chrysanthemum Factory concept stocks in the previous life.
Every year, as long as Dongling High-Tech released new products, this concept stock sector's stock price would soar by a notch, especially in the first few days of release. The core stocks of the companies that had already gone public and were Dongling High-Tech concept stocks basically hit the daily limit every day, and stocks that were on the edge of concept stocks could also follow the hype.
It could be said that this was hype, but as long as you put on the label of Dongling High-Tech concept stock and could get orders from Dongling High-Tech, the performance would double every year.
As long as you became a Dongling High-Tech concept stock company, the performance was guaranteed, and the popularity was also there. Even the Securities Commission of the big A-shares looked at Dongling High-Tech concept stocks applying for listing with different eyes, because these were blue-chip stocks and could be stocks that were the face of the big A-shares!
This made countless companies squeeze their brains to squeeze into Dongling High-Tech's supply chain. The institutions, funds, investment companies, and leeks that speculated on stocks naturally followed the fun. Anyway, every year, Dongling High-Tech concept stocks had a wave of market conditions.
On the financial channel on TV, experts were still advising leeks not to consume impulsively—no, it was to invest impulsively—and not to follow the trend. These rumors might not be true and might just be fake news concocted.
But it was estimated that those familiar with A-shares all knew that in the big A-shares, rumors were prophecies that were far ahead. The more experts refuted the rumors, the more people would buy Dongling High-Tech concept stocks tomorrow.
As long as you weren't blind, you could see that there were several large funds of over 100 million flowing into those stocks today. This wasn't something leeks could play with. If there wasn't definite news, would those institutions, whose noses were sharper than dogs and who ran faster than rabbits, spend so much blood to lift the sedan chair for the leeks?
"The news should be true. The airline side also passed out news that the cargo holds of several planes taking off from Hanxi have been booked and contracted by Dongling High-Tech's logistics department, and there are also planes flying to Korea, Japan, Siam, and even Old Mao Xiong, A-San, and other places!"
Jin Zhijiang said, talking about the news he had inquired about, his words carrying a bit of emotion. Using planes to air-freight products to the market, in the domestic technology industry, basically only Dongling High-Tech could play such a big hand.
Because Dongling High-Tech's product profit was high enough, the cost of air freight didn't count for much. Time was more valuable to Dongling High-Tech, so every time a new product was launched, Dongling High-Tech used air freight in the early stage, and only used train cars, cars, and ships for transportation in the later stage!
And air-freighting to overseas markets was something only Dongling High-Tech did. In the domestic technology field, those who dared to say that overseas markets sold better than domestic ones were Dongling High-Tech, and there was no other store. Other companies wanted to learn but had no tricks.
"I don't know what new product Dongling High-Tech will launch this time!"
Duan Yongping sighed and said. BBK and Dongling High-Tech couldn't be said to have any grudges, but peers were enemies, especially a peer that was like Mount Wuzhi pressing on his head, and it seemed impossible to overturn this big mountain forever, and other peers could only grab second place forever. What would he feel about it?
Even, Duan Yongping couldn't say words like "Since there is Yu, why is there Liang," because he knew that Dongling High-Tech didn't treat BBK as an opponent at all.
Dongling High-Tech was staring at Toshiba, Sony, Sharp, Panasonic, Samsung, Siemens, General Electric, Philips, Nokia, Motorola—those opponents who were famous internationally!
"Then should we... recruit a new R&D team and prepare a new production line?"
Duan Yongping's big disciple, Shen Wei, naturally asked him, and the others also knew what the so-called recruiting a new R&D team meant.
It meant waiting for Dongling High-Tech's new product to come out, then reverse-engineering Dongling High-Tech's new product, and then launching imitation or counterfeit products to follow the trend and start selling.
Imitating, counterfeiting, and following the trend of Dongling High-Tech wasn't anything shameful. In the domestic technology industry, in these few years, there had been sufficient cases to prove that following Dongling High-Tech had meat to eat. As for those who didn't believe in evil, they had already starved to death...
BBK was no exception. BBK's two major businesses now were VCD and DVD, and the second major business was cordless phones.
99% of those doing cordless phones in the country were following Dongling High-Tech. This point had no accidents. Even the chips for BBK's cordless phones were Sirius external-sale chips purchased from Dongxin Semiconductor.
Duan Yongping also knew that following Dongling High-Tech's butt, it was almost impossible to surpass the other party, but he had no choice. In the domestic technology industry now, who dared to say they could surpass Dongling High-Tech?
Helplessly nodding, Duan Yongping let several big disciples prepare. No matter what they thought, they had to eat. They couldn't not want money for the sake of face, right?!
After coming out of Xiaobawang, Duan Yongping knew that only by living could they have the opportunity to do things. This could be seen from the style of the Blue-Green mobile phone factory split from BBK.
The style of the Blue-Green mobile phone factory might not be an industry innovator, and it played few tricks, but it acted steadily. In the fiercely competitive mobile phone industry, it was steady and solid. After standing firm in the mobile phone offline market, it killed online, coming from behind. Although the shipment volume wasn't the top, it was on the sales list every year, which was very similar to BBK now!
Not only BBK, but many domestic electronic technology companies also cast their eyes on Dongling High-Tech.
Especially since there was constant inside news that Focus Media had removed advertisements in some areas, obviously to reserve space for Dongling High-Tech's new products.
There was also news from several TV stations that Dongling High-Tech's marketing department had personnel contacting these TV stations to discuss launching new advertisements.
Various rumors continued, all indicating that Dongling High-Tech's new product was indeed coming!
The entire domestic electronic industry was a bit restless. In the past, every time Dongling High-Tech released a new product, it caused a carnival in the country.
Distributors, agents, retail stores, and even sales clerks who sold Dongling High-Tech products could earn a whole year's income and wages from commissions and bonuses within a few months after the new product was released!
Even scalpers could follow and make a big profit. According to the convention, new products were generally in short supply. As long as you hoarded machines on the day of release, it was no problem to turn around and sell them at a premium of several hundred yuan. One premium was equivalent to the salary of an ordinary worker for a month or two!
……
Chen Zuhan, who got off at Pingyang train station, felt sore all over. He had been living in comfort for these years and was no longer in the state he was in when he was fighting for his life back then.
"Go to Dongling High-Tech headquarters!"
Calling two taxis, Chen Zuhan and several subordinates, protecting several sacks of money, rushed to the Dongling High-Tech headquarters.
Even Chen Zuhan, who was mentally prepared, was stunned when he got close to the Dongling High-Tech headquarters. Changqing Road, leading to the Dongling High-Tech headquarters, was blocked by cars with license plates from all over the country, making it impassable. Looking at those dusty vehicles, it was obvious that they had rushed over from other places all the way.
When arriving at the Dongling High-Tech headquarters, one could see people with various accents gathered in front of the main gate. Quite a few people, like Chen Zuhan, also brought sacks.
The staff who came with Chen Zuhan saw this scene for the first time and were all staring at each other. It was their first time seeing so many people scrambling to send money to Dongling High-Tech!
Chen Zuhan was used to it. The scene when Jianlibao was hot and distributors queued up to send money to Jianlibao, and the scene when Chen Zuhan himself ran to the Dongling High-Tech headquarters to grab the agency right back then, the scene wasn't small either.
It was just that Jianlibao, health products, and the like were hot for a few years and then went downhill, but only Dongling High-Tech was still standing on this Changqing Road!
"Go!"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Chen Zuhan knew that wanting to enter the Dongling High-Tech headquarters was simply impossible. Even if he got in, it would probably be in vain. So many people wanted to become agents for Dongling High-Tech's new products and get goods, Dongling High-Tech definitely wouldn't give them easily, otherwise, it would be a mess.
After coming out of Changqing Road, where the Dongling High-Tech headquarters was located, Chen Zuhan rushed all the way to the Yuhe Leisure Resort in the suburbs.
Chen Zuhan also had a connection at Dongling High-Tech. Although Dongling High-Tech didn't have any factions on the surface, things like camps weren't really non-existent just because you said they didn't exist.
Including Dongling High-Tech's agents and distributors in the country and even overseas, they all had more or less relationships with the personnel of Dongling High-Tech's marketing department. After all, they dealt with each other often. If there was no relationship, wouldn't that be nonsense?
……
"The advertisement film has been produced. In fact, we had been preparing the advertising plan for the Shenzhou electronic dictionary a few months ago!"
Inside the Yuhe Leisure Resort, Li Dongling, Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, Zhang Ao, Gao Peng, and others were all there. The Dongling High-Tech headquarters was simply too noisy to work these days.
Not only those agents, but also companies that wanted to join Dongling High-Tech's industrial chain, media reporters, and even investment promotion offices from other places that wanted Dongling High-Tech to put new product production lines in their local areas, etc., were endless.
Some of these people could be declined, and some couldn't be directly declined. Li Dongling and the others simply stayed at the Yuhe Leisure Resort for the time being.
Li Dongling looked at the advertisement film produced by Zhang Ao's marketing department. There were three parts in total, basically corresponding to several main functions and applicable groups of the Shenzhou electronic dictionary.
"Focus Media's Manager Li has arrived!"
Su Chicheng came in to report. Li Yan had already arrived at the Yuhe Leisure Resort. ===== CHAPTER 576 =====
