Chapter 494: Press Conference

readx;? In the 80s, the domestic media still had some moderation, and the reporters called themselves uncrowned kings, and they still lived a life of poverty and happiness. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, media reporters are also the group of people who are in contact with the fastest changes in this era, some choose to stick to their hearts, and some will choose the "trend of the times".

Today, Motorola's imperial capital office is planning to come to the "trend of the times".

"What does Motorola want to do with this press conference?"

The imperial capital is the political center of China, and the density of news media is definitely the highest in the country, and the level is unmatched by others.

The press conference is still a novelty for Chinese journalists. However, abroad, it is already very commonplace.

As a foreign-funded company, Motorola contacted the major media in the imperial capital to hold a press conference, and there would definitely be no embarrassing situation where no one was present.

No, a conference room in the conference center of the International Hotel has now been set up as the scene of a press conference. The central-level media, and even the TV reporters with cameras, sat in a hula la.

A group of reporters who rely on news to eat get together, of course, it is impossible to be quiet.

The reason why news is called news is that it is meaningful to know even a minute in advance.

Before the people from the Motorola office appeared, the reporters present had already inquired about each other.

"I don't know, there's not been a big deal about Motorola lately, is it?"

"I haven't heard of it. ”

The reporters did not get any commendable clues from each other's exchanges. After all, this is neither the Internet era, nor the era when journalists become paparazzi, and the reporters who hold the country's jobs are still the uncrowned kings who are "superior".

Like the spirit of perseverance and perseverance for a piece of news in the future, today's reporters disdain to do it.

As the reporters were talking, the door to the conference room suddenly opened.

Jim Lee and a group of Motorola employees walked in in neat and decent suits.

These people's suits were cut to a slim fit and simple style, with the Motorola logo buttoned to the collar of the suit and a blue and white striped tie.

It's not like today's Chinese people like to wear suits, but they don't know how to wear suits, and wear a suit like a face pocket. Some of the employees of Motorola's office have returned from abroad, and some have seen it for a long time.

Wearing this suit, it really has a bit of a human-like dog-like taste.

Just as soon as they appeared, the elite image of Motorola has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Hello journalists and gentlemen, I am Li Jing, manager of Motorola's China office. That's right, it's Li Jing, the king of Tota. ”

Jim Lee stood in front of the podium at the press conference, and below it was a flash of light that began to murder the film.

imitated Xu Wenqiang's style, coupled with Jim Li Shang's passable appearance, coupled with his self-proclaimed interesting speech, it aroused a trace of favor among reporters.

"I invite you to come today, mainly because we have good news from Motorola, and we hope that through the hands of media friends, everyone who is interested in this news can know about it. ”

"What's the news?" A reporter who couldn't wait, seeing that Jim Lee still had the possibility of selling Guanzi, simply raised his hand and asked.

"You may not know that since the construction of the first paging station in China in 1984, the number of pager users has increased by more than 100,000 every year. ”

Jim Lee nodded slightly to the reporter who asked the question, of course, he would not announce the answer so easily, but began to give credit to Motorola.

"Motorola provides paging equipment to China every year, accounting for 80% of the market. China's development and Motorola's development can be said to be complementary and mutually beneficial. ”

"Motorola is committed to developing together with China, China's communications industry is inseparable from Motorola, and the development of Motorola is inseparable from the support of the Chinese market. ”

"Therefore, Motorola has made an important decision!"

After Jim Lee's words were finished, the reporters in the audience held their breath and waited for him to uncover the mystery.

"Oh, and before this decision is announced, we at Motorola have a small gift for everyone. ”

Jim Lee smiled and waved his hand, and the reporters in the audience almost flashed to their waists.

You should first unravel the mystery! Catch people's appetites and then turn to what gift -- solving the mystery is the best gift!

For this kind of behavior of digging holes and not filling them, it is really hateful.

Under the command of Jim Lee, the staff of the Motorola office carried a pile of paper bags and delivered them to every reporter present.

Of course, that is, only central-level media reporters have this treatment. A small paper bag with a small carton inside.

Some reporters took out the gifts on the spot, and then immediately caused a burst of exclamations.

Inside the carton is a Motorola pager.

If this thing is put outside, it will cost more than 5,000 yuan at the cheapest depending on the relationship. This gift alone is enough to make many people's hearts frightened.

"I'm sorry, I can't accept this gift. ”

"yes, this is too valuable, a violation of discipline!"

A reporter below reacted immediately and immediately made a request to refuse.

Paid reporting and courtesy exchanges, the line was not so clear among journalists in the eighties. Not to mention that most Chinese companies haven't even learned how to press conferences.

Reporters usually have a handful of candy stuffed in their pockets, but now they want to receive a gift of 10,000 yuan in the market, how can they not beat the drum in their hearts?

"Don't worry, it's not a valuable gift. ”

Jim Lee immediately waved his hand and explained: "People may think that pagers are a very expensive thing, but in fact, they are not what everyone thinks. ”

He picked up a Motorola pager from the podium and said, "Motorola has been selling pagers since the sixties. To this day, little things like the one I hold in my hand actually sell for no more than fifty dollars in the United States. According to the current exchange rate between the renminbi and the U.S. dollar, it is only 150 yuan. Any Chinese worker's two-month salary should be able to buy one such communications device. ”

"But why is paging so expensive in the Chinese market? It's because when our products enter China, they pay a huge import tax. The tax rate of more than 100% makes it difficult for ordinary people to accept its price. ”

Jim Lee looked sorry for him, and people couldn't help but feel sorry for this restrictive policy.

It's just that he won't say that the price of Motorola's BP machine in China is more than 200 US dollars, let alone emphasize that today's RMB and US dollar exchange rates are seriously out of market reality, not to mention that the high tax rate on electronic consumer products corresponds to a series of diplomatic and foreign trade games such as Sino-US textile trade frictions......

In Jim Lee's expression, it seems that the Chinese cannot afford to use the BP machines produced by Motorola, simply because of China's "greedy" tax policy.

"So you don't have to feel embarrassed to accept it, this gift is just a very insignificant industrial product for Motorola. They weren't sold from the Chinese market, but I flew from the United States in a leather bag, and this friendship cannot be measured by the value of the goods. If there's value, it's only fifty dollars – and I can even provide a Macy's invoice if you need it. It's not just a gift for everyone, it's also an essential tool for the next news. If you write an article about pagers, but you don't even use them, I think that's irresponsible to the readers, right?"

"We at Motorola provide a pager for everyone, not in the hope that journalists will write anything against their will, but in the hope of ensuring the authenticity of the report. ”

As soon as Jim Lee said this, the reporters in the audience touched the box in the paper bag, and on the surface, they were all "reluctant", but in fact, they sat back secretly in their hearts.

It's a pager!

Even at the central level, these young journalists do not enjoy such benefits. In the imperial capital, a department-level leader is not worthy of a pager. If the sound of "BBBB" suddenly rings on the street, it is comparable to the scenery of driving a "Fiat Small Potato"!

Who doesn't have a little vanity in their hearts, since they can accept these pagers "with peace of mind", no one is really willing to go back.

"And I must also say that our press conference today, in fact, is about the pager in everyone's hands. ”

"In view of Motorola's determination to develop China's communications industry together, Motorola has decided to license the production of pager technology to Chinese companies. Our Motorola company is not an enterprise that only cares about making money for itself, but hopes to lead Chinese enterprises to develop together and achieve common prosperity with the Chinese people!"

"The pager in everyone's hand is the tool we ask reporters to evaluate our Motorola products. Please show the quality of our Motorola pager, whether it is good or bad, without reservation. ”

After Jim Lee's words were finished, there was a sudden "ho" in the conference room.

Motorola wants to open up the technology for the production of pagers? How is this possible for them to give up a large share of their own profits?

However, looking at Jim Lee's solemn expression, it seems that this is really the case.

Motorola turned out to be such a big and selfless company? Is it really "an old friend of the Chinese people"?

There were excited, skeptical, and confused reporters in the crowd.

But if you don't care what you think, you can't deny that this is definitely big news!

It is conceivable that the next pager market will definitely be lively.
