Chapter 46: Counterattack
That night, Han Jiang made a phone call to Zhang Xunchong. The two don't know what to say, but it is foreseeable that they must have reached a consensus on something.
Most of the time, they were bitter rivals, calculating with each other, and it was only on the matter of the Southern government that they were able to reach a consensus and form a short-lived alliance. But even when they were together against the Southern government, they couldn't really trust each other.
Everyone knows that there can only be one person sitting in the highest seat. None of them want to be stabbed by their allies after the southern government is overthrown. They knew that their cooperation would not last forever, and the day the Bai family fell, it would be the day when they turned against each other. It is inevitable to leave a hand with each other.
Although Zhang Xunchong promised well on the surface and seemed to have a good conversation with Han Jiang, he didn't know how much he could carry out what he promised.
When his career was developing like tea, Gu Shuhan smelled a strange smell.
She obviously did not sell the patent rights to the factories in Han Jiang and Zhang Xunchong's territory, nor did she carry out any cooperation with the factories in these two territories, but countless 'Gu's weapons' sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Those manufacturers who produce 'Gu's weapons' claim to have obtained the technical essence of Gu's factory, and the weapons they produce are the best of the weapons.
Nowadays, people have not been pitted by copycats, and when they saw that their weapons were exactly the same as Gu's weapons in appearance, the manufacturer claimed to be a partner of Gu's factory, and they were wearing suits and leather shoes, which looked quite magnificent, so they believed it. As for parts, steel, and the like...... The weapons are all produced by the Gu family, can these be?
The products of these manufacturers are sold half cheaper than those of the Elite Alliance and the Zero Alliance, and some people were overjoyed when they heard the news, and quickly withdrew the orders of the two major alliances and placed orders with several factories in the north and northwest instead. For a while, the production lines of these factories were busy, and the factory owners finally showed a long-lost smile.
When Han Jiang received the news, he said with satisfaction: "Good job, this time, I want to see how Gu Shuhan's little girl is going to turn the tables." ”
The same weapon, cheap on one side and expensive on the other, people will naturally choose the cheap one. When the products in Gu Shuhan's factory were hoarded and could not be sold, they had to reduce the price. Since that little girl dares to pit them, she must be ready to be stripped off a layer of skin by them!
Han Jiang naturally knew that these imitations would not be exactly the same as those produced by the Gu Weapons Factory, but Shao Yihui had already told him, and the Shaw Factory had spent a lot of money to invite a foreign engineer in order to deal with the Gu Weapons Factory this time. The engineer carefully studied the structure of Gu's weapons and the properties of raw materials and parts, and only then did he make enough imitations to be fake. Even if the quality is not as good as the Gu Weapons Factory, it is not much worse, so they are not afraid of being dismantled.
Han Jiang had also seen the weapons produced in Shao Yihui's factory, and he also recognized the quality of those weapons. He was even thinking that he could buy weapons from Shao Yihui and others in the future, instead of sending money to Gu Shuhan.
If the products in Shao Yihui's factory are high-imitation products, then the products in other factories are low-imitation products, and the quality is not to mention that the Gu's factory is compared with the Shaw factory, which is also several steps behind. However, their cost is low, and the price they sell is even cheaper, and there are always some people who are greedy for cheap and are willing to buy their products. As for whether these inferior products will affect the reputation of Gu's factory, it is not what they care about.
Whether it is high imitation or low imitation, it will squeeze the market of Gu's factory.
When Gu's factory and its alliance and factory were hit so hard that they had to cut prices or even withdraw from this competition, it was their victory.
A cold smile was drawn on Shao Yihui's lips: "If it weren't for the Gu family's factory pressing step by step, my Shao family would not have been on the verge of bankruptcy before." Gu's own greed was not enough to leave us a way to live, and now, it's no wonder that we are no more! ”
He knew it was a bit despicable, but so what? Where in the business world can anyone be above board all the time?
In his heart, he also despised the factories that signed contracts with the Gu factory. Those guys, who were complacent because they bought the patent rights from Gu's factory at a high price, thought they were getting cheap, but they didn't know that they got these without spending a penny. If you insist on saying what the price Shaw paid for, it is only the cost of hiring foreign engineers. However, paying this fee can not only suppress Gu's factory, but also find a guarantee for the future development of Shaw Brothers, which is very cost-effective in Shao Yihui's view.
Shao Yihui and Han Jiang had a good atmosphere on their side, but on the other side, thousands of miles away, they were gloomy and bleak.
In the office building of the Elite Alliance and the Zero Alliance, the heads of the major factories gathered in Gu Shuhan's office with solemn expressions.
Over the past few days, they have been very satisfied with their cooperation with Gu's. Making Gu's products is indeed very profitable, which proves that their original vision is not bad.
However, they couldn't understand why overnight, the sales of Gu's products, which were originally very popular, dropped without warning, and they dropped so much.
Although they are all people who have experienced strong winds and waves, and they can still maintain basic composure on their faces, their expressions are very strict. If the sales of Gu's products continue to decline, it will be a huge blow to them.
You must know that there are dozens of factories that directly or indirectly cooperate with Gu's factory today! Not one or two factories! The scope of this is too wide.
At this time, all the factory owners were waiting for Gu Shuhan's choice. When making money, they are willing to follow behind Gu Shuhan and listen to Gu Shuhan's orders, and only when they encounter twists and turns will the lack of trust between the two sides be truly exposed.
If Gu Shuhan is a capable and means-enabled person, and she can lead the Gu factory through this catastrophe, then they will continue to follow her in the future, truly trust her ability, and take her lead in the future. But if she can't handle these things well, Gu's factory can't withstand the wind and waves......
Then, I'm sorry, they and Gu's are just partners, and they will definitely not do a business that is destined to lose money.
Only when it is profitable will they come together and will do everything in their power to cooperate with each other.
When Gu's factory encountered an unprecedented test, most of the factories chose to wait and see, and only a few factories that were extremely optimistic about Gu's were unswervingly on Gu's side.
"I didn't expect that at this time, it would be you who was willing to stand by my side." Gu Shuhan looked at Jia Cunyi in a suit and leather shoes in front of him, he still looked as shrewd and spicy as ever, Gu Shuhan became more and more unable to understand his thoughts: "I thought you would be the first to leave." After all, the risk encountered by my Gu's factory this time is not small, maybe if I am not careful, Gu's will capsize. As a businessman, watching the fire from across the river seems to be your best bet. Didn't you see that everyone else was starting to protect themselves? ”
When Jia Cunyi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Miss Gu, is this teaching me to be a qualified businessman?" I don't know if Miss Gu has ever heard a saying that high risk means high return. Sometimes, we businessmen need to have some gambler spirit in order to get the most out of it. People who come from the mainstream generally can't make a lot of money. ”
"I'm actually making investments now." Jia Cunyi approached Gu Shuhan and stared at her eyes firmly: "I'm gambling, betting on Gu's ship, I can't capsize, betting that I'm the one who can make a lot of money." ”
Gu Shuhan looked at Jia Cunyi for a while, and suddenly said, "You are so confident in my Gu factory?" ”
Jia Cunyi said calmly: "It's not so much that I have confidence in Gu's factory, but that I have confidence in Miss Gu and my own vision." I believe that with Miss Gu here, Gu's factory will not be able to fall. On the other hand, I'm not optimistic about the people who are jumping up and down at the moment. Counterfeit is counterfeit after all, and it won't be long before it will be beaten back to its original shape. When the time comes, don't you need you, the main master, to save the scene? ”
"Since Mr. Jia has such high hopes for my Gu Factory...... Gu Shuhan's lips crossed a light smile, and his whole face softened because of this smile: "Then, my Gu Factory will definitely not live up to your expectations." ”
"Don't forget to count me in when you fight back." Jia Cunyi said: "The group of guys in the north and northwest are taking food from the tiger's mouth." robbed me of my business for so many days, how can I settle this account with them! ”
Since the opening of Gu's factory, Gu Shuhan and several of her factories seem to have been the focus of the media and the object of everyone's attention.
On the first, second, and third days of the mushrooming of the 'Cheap Gu's Ally Factory', the Gu's Factory did not react. Just when Shao Yihui wondered if Gu Shuhan had given up completely, he saw the statement published by Gu's factory in the newspaper.
In the newspaper, the person in charge of Gu's image denounced some manufacturers for selling Gu's products to third parties as counterfeit and shoddy imitations. It not only infringes Gu's patent rights and reputation rights, but also infringes on the rights and interests of consumers.
"Those who are willing to buy our Gu's products are manufacturers who want to be able to buy high-quality products. Otherwise, the original products of domestic manufacturers are cheaper than ours, why should they choose our Gushi factory and our allies? Those despicable people took advantage of the desire of the people in the country to spend less, and deceived the people who placed orders with them with counterfeit and shoddy weapons and spare parts. Their products seem to be cost-effective, but they are full of loopholes in terms of quality. ”
"When we collected all kinds of imitations, we found that those imitations were not only far inferior to Gu's, but even the domestic average was not up to them. However, the price they sell is more expensive than most weapons in the country. It's only because of the name of the Gu family that everyone feels that it is extraordinarily cheap. ”
"By deceiving consumers and infringing on the rights and interests of our Gu family, these blood-sucking locusts have gained countless benefits. In the end, it is all us who fatten their pockets and suffer. Think about what the consequences would be if this kind of thing was allowed to continue. Everyone thinks that they are getting refined parts, but they don't know if these parts will fall off the chain at a critical time. Everyone thinks they have bought good weapons, but once they go to war, they find that they are vulnerable......"
"Those counterfeiters are shaking the foundation of the country for their own selfishness! In the long run, how can we tell what is true and what is false? Do we have to devote a part of our energy to the weapon in our hands when facing the enemy, checking whether it is genuine? Such an atmosphere cannot be fostered! ”
After the person in charge of the Gu family came up, he gave a big hat to everyone, including Shao Yihui.
At the same time, the mainstream public opinion in China also condemned Shao Yihui.
So far, among many factories in China, only Gu's factory pays attention to public relations, how to guide public opinion, how to maintain the image of the factory in emergencies, and how to protect rights, these are all things that Gu's factory has been doing. Other factories do not have this awareness, and even if Shao Yihui can get the support of Han Jiang and launch a counterattack against Gu's factory through the local print media, it will be difficult to achieve a process like Gu's factory.
In this unexpected attack, Shao Yihui suffered a big loss. Overnight, the order volume that had just skyrocketed fell back like a popped balloon. The products produced by Shao Yihui and the countless factories in the territory of Han and Zhang have become unsalable.
In addition to Shao Yihui's factory, the capacity of other factories on the production line is indeed not high, and after the Gu's factory was in trouble, some manufacturers immediately began to inspect 'cheap Gu's products', and nine out of ten samples were of unqualified quality. This can poke the hornet's nest, and those buyers who have already placed orders quit and have joined the ranks of denouncing the 'cheap Gu's factory' and demanding a refund.
Due to the big flaws in his own camp, for a while, Shao Yihui was also out of line, and after a short period of consideration, the Shaw Factory decided to protect himself and find himself out of this puddle of sludge first.
In any case, at least the quality of their products is guaranteed. The Gu factory wants to use this to defeat them, no way!
After the Shaw factory announced the number of products produced by its own factory, people were surprised to find that although the Shaw Brothers products were worse than those of the Gu family, they were far higher than the domestic average, and the price of the Shaw brothers was only half of that of the Gu family.
After the guidance of public opinion, the voice of the masses began to change, and the attention also shifted from denouncing the black sheep to the research and development of product quality.
Shaw Brothers was able to produce products that were only a little worse than Gu's in such a short period of time, does it mean that Huaguo's manufacturing level has reached a good level? After all, now everyone knows that Gu's products are equal to international cutting-edge technology.
If that's the case, that's great.
But will it really be what they expect?
