Chapter 105 The Biased Reporter

The atmosphere of the New Year slowly dissipated, and the employees of Tianxin Technology arrived at the company one after another, and before Lu Yang returned to the company, Su Yan was the first to start working. Just after the New Year, Su Yan took her team to Japan and South Korea to begin to make final preparations for the launch of "Starry Sky 1".

Lu Yang sent Liang Yuan to take charge of the project invested in his hometown. Liang Yuan is old and serious, and he is also good at dealing with government departments, so it is most suitable to deal with these things.

……

George is a reporter for the Los Angeles Times based in Tokyo, Japan, and for two months, George has been intrigued by the daily commercial "starrysky1" for a Chinese mobile phone.

According to the advertisement, George learns that it is a smartphone similar to an iPhone, but in terms of form and function, the phone seems to be much superior to the iPhone. George naturally didn't believe in these propaganda, although he was not an ethnographer, it was quite difficult for him to believe that a Huaxia company made a smartphone that was more advanced than Apple.

His idea is not unique, the "Star 1" smartphone has now reached more than 8 million sales in China, but this mobile phone has not had any impact in foreign countries or Europe and the United States. Of course, this is related to the fact that Tianxin Technology has not yet begun to publicize, but the more important factor is the discrimination of Europe and the United States against China's high-tech industry. The European and American media instinctively doubted the information of "Starry Sky 1", and they did not even have the desire to report it.

At the end of February, the launch of "Star 1" in Japan is getting closer and closer, and the publicity is getting stronger and stronger. What makes it hard for George to believe is that "Starry Sky 1" directly uses Apple's iPhone3G as a target and a stepping stone in its publicity, and always belittles the iPhone to think too highly of itself.

This is something he can't bear.

Soon, George sent back a report to the U.S. headquarters, which ridiculed Huaxia's electronics industry, and naturally mentioned the examples of "Star 1" and Tianxin Technology. This report was very much in line with the editor-in-chief's appetite and was published in a very prominent position.

George was encouraged and decided to continue exploring the subject, preferably to expose the Huaxia scam when "Star 1" went public. He even thought that if he made the impact of this incident bigger, he might become famous because of it.

As a veteran journalist, George has a wide range of sources, and he got the news when Su Yan first arrived in Tokyo.

Tokyo Tianxin Technology store is the largest store of Tianxin Technology in Japan and South Korea, and it is also Suyan's first stop. This specialty store is located in Tokyo's Shibuya shopping district, surrounded by bustling shopping streets. Since two months ago, the store has been renovated, and now, all preparations have been completed.

"Well done." Su Yan inspected the situation in the store, from the overall design to the specific details, which met the company's requirements.

Junji Nitta, the representative of the Japanese planning company in charge of the Tianxin Technology direct store project, smiled modestly and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, you can't go in, this shop is not open yet......"

Su Yan and Junji Nitta discussed specific matters in the store, and there was a commotion outside.

"What's going on?" Junji Nitta immediately sent someone to find out.

"Minister Su, a reporter came from outside, saying that it was from the Los Angeles Times, and he wanted to come in to interview Tianxin Technology." Junji Nitta explained to Su Yan in a low voice.

"The Los Angeles Times, which is one of the largest newspaper outlets in the United States, how could they come and interview us?" Su Yan was a little confused, but she was still happy to see such a reporter for a big newspaper. Suddenly, she remembered that there was a reporter from this newspaper at the "Star 1" press conference held by Tianxin Technology.

"Ask him to come in."

George walked in with a camera hanging in front of him, a bag on his back, and a notebook in his hand, dressed as a reporter.

"Hello!"

George greeted him in Chinese, which he was not very proficient in.

Su Yan asked, "Mr. Reporter, I heard that you want to interview the employees of Tianxin Technology?" ”

George said: "Yes, are you the person in charge of this Huaxia company?" ”

"I'm Su Yan, the marketing executive of Tianxin Technology."

"The CMO of Tianxin Technology?" George considered himself lucky to be able to meet the top management of the Chinese company in an unscheduled interview.

"So to speak." Su Yan nodded, "Actually, this is not the first time our company has dealt with your newspaper, half a year ago, our company's product launch conference, that is, this time the 'starrysky1' listed in Japan, your newspaper had a reporter on the scene." ”

George was stunned for a moment, as far as he knew, the Los Angeles Times had not published information about this Huaxia company, otherwise he would not have known.

Although he had bad intentions, he didn't need to say it.

"Miss Su said, your product has been released for half a year, why is it only on the market now?"

Su Yan said: "Mr. Reporter is mistaken, our Tianxin Technology's 'Starry Sky 1' is not just listed. Before it landed in the Japanese market, 'Star 1' had already sold 8 million units in China! ”

"It can't be!" George subconsciously called out, "According to what you mean, this mobile phone with a price tag of 700 to 800 US dollars has sold 8 million in half a year in Huaxia, Miss Su, are you sure you are not joking?" ”

Su Yan Zhengse said: "Mr. reporter, I am very responsible for this point to tell you, this is a fact. No one jokes about the credibility of the company and the product. As long as you go to Huaxia to investigate, this matter can be easily investigated. ”

George shrugged: "Okay, but I'll say that we'll verify it." ”

In the next interview, George's goal is still to find thorns, but dealing with reporters is Su Yan's strength, and George's attempt to catch the loopholes in her words is in vain.

"Miss Su, I saw that in your company's promotion, this 'starrysky1' is much better than the iPhone3G released by Apple last year, is this true? Or are you borrowing Apple for hype? ”

Su Yan smiled indifferently: "Mr. Reporter, the quality of the product is judged by the number of jΓΉ, compared with Apple's iPhone, our 'Starry Sky 1' is more than one generation higher in terms of hardware and software." If that doesn't mean it's better than the iPhone, I don't have anything to say. ”

"The number is convincing, but it may not be real!" George is Apple's own pump, and he can't see it being belittled by a Chinese company.

"If you're going to say that, I think the conversation can be over!" Su Yan's face turned cold, and she was said to be a fake by others, which no one could bear.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" George shrugged, not showing any sincerity in apology, and the interview ended.

"Director, he's a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, is that really okay? We will also enter the American market this year, if we offend the American media......" Qi Dong, who was on a business trip with Su Yan, asked.

"For this kind of person with ulterior motives, it doesn't matter what his identity is." Su Yan didn't say much, she knew better than anyone else Lu Yang's views on the U.S. market. If it were Lu Yanglai, I am afraid that this American reporter would have been driven out long ago.

After George's interview, he wrote a story immediately after his return, sent it back to the United States, and appeared in the Los Angeles Times the next day.

"Another big talk from Huaxia: smart phones surpass Apple!"

The Los Angeles Times has sold well in the United States, and George's report has caused a lot of repercussions, and many Americans have read it and expressed their disdain like George. In their eyes, although Huaxia has developed well in recent years, it produces some clothes, shoes and hats at most, compared with the United States, Huaxia's technology is still very backward, and it is a fool's dream to produce a smart phone that surpasses Apple.

Zheng Yiming and Lu Feng are international students at Stanford University, and they also read the Los Angeles Times report and were very angry.

"This group of Yankees is really arrogant, why can't Huaxia produce a better mobile phone than the iPhone?" Zheng Yiming said angrily.

Lu Feng said: "Don't say anything else, 'Starry Sky 1' is much better than the iPhone, and we have the right to speak compared to anyone else." ”

Zheng Yiming nodded, the two bought an iPhone3G last year, and later when they went home during the Spring Festival, their families gave them a "Starry Sky 1". How about the two phones, they have been using it for so long, it is very clear.
