Chapter 210 Sudden Price War
No matter what Reina Fujiwara thought, Wu Tao felt a little sorry.
Don't look at this laptop as unremarkable, but the price is tens of thousands of dollars.
Even if it's a gift, it's worth a lot. It is obviously unreasonable to dismiss others with a few simple words.
Originally, he thought that by inviting him to this meal, he could repay the other party's favor for introducing Star Soul to the SUNDAY Comics Club.
But now I found out that not only the favor was not paid off, but also gifts from others were received, which made me owe even more.
"Linai, I don't want this laptop, right?" Wu Tao said while eating Japanese food without salt or taste.
Fujiwara Reina enjoyed the meal quite a bit. Hearing this, she drooped her two willow eyebrows and said, "What's wrong? Wu Sang, if you look down on our products so much, then my future is hopeless?"
After speaking, he smiled narrowly, revealing the side of a little woman.
"That's not what I meant..." Wu Tao smiled and was about to explain.
The other party suddenly changed a serious expression, "Wu Sang, please don't feel ashamed."
"...Frankly speaking, your opinion just now is very valuable to me."
"...And some products in the club are given to customers as samples, which are completely free of charge. If you can give some feedback and suggestions after using it, it will be a great reward for me."
"...Besides, if your company needs mobile office after three years, then we can cooperate naturally."
"Okay, Miss Linai." Wu Tao nodded in response.
For the rest of the time, the two ate and chatted without any topic.
It is quite a pleasure to dine with such an elegant and charming woman after throwing away the business.
"Wu Sang, recently I noticed that Yuankang's business is booming! Even some of our offices in China have drank the pure water you provided."
"... You must have devoted a lot of effort to this company, right?"
Wu Tao shook his head and said, "Actually, it's all managed by professional managers. I'm just a hands-off shopkeeper."
"That's right!" Reina Fujiwara opened her mouth slightly, "You still run Bakumanke! Speaking of which, you have a wide range of business interests. Like the club, you are involved in more and more business fields."
"Oh?" Wu Tao showed attention.
Reina Fujiwara immediately pointed her fingers and said, "Recently, the club has made great breakthroughs in digital technology, mobile communication and network technology, and is planning to expand vigorously..."
"Wait!" Wu Tao interrupted, "Mobile communications? Toshiba is also planning to make mobile phones?"
"Yes, I'm familiar with Tanaka, the head of their R&D department, so I know something. Could it be that Wu Sang is interested in mobile phones?"
Wu Tao put down his chopsticks and said, "Frankly speaking, I'm planning to make a mobile phone. Maybe we can cooperate in this area in the future?"
"If Wu Sang needs it, I can definitely recommend it to you." Reina Fujiwara rolled her eyes, "Furthermore, if Wu Sang makes a mobile phone, he must set up a new company. Wouldn't it be too much for me?" potential customers?"
Speaking of this, it is actually somewhat clear.
But Wu Tao didn't go into the details about the mobile phone, but just kept it in mind for emergencies.
Leaving from the Japanese grocery store, Fujiwara Reina took Wu Tao's car and returned to Xuanwu Hotel.
In the headquarters of Yuankang, various tasks are progressing steadily and intensively.
Wu Tao instantly became an idler, sitting in the office all day reading homework.
Just two days after the peaceful days, Midea and Wahaha suddenly announced product price reduction plans at the end of the first week of May, starting a price war first.
Using this trick at the beginning of the new product's launch is undoubtedly a foolish trick that kills one thousand and hurts eight hundred.
A group of key veterans gathered in Wu Tao's office, waiting for his decision.
A few minutes later, Wu Tao slapped the table and said: "Zhang Xiaoxiang wants to dive, let him do it, we will not accompany you!"
"However, in this way, it may seize our market, which is very detrimental to our final market share!" Wang Donglai put forward a professional opinion.
Wu Tao glanced over the crowd and found that Sun Miao was not there. Just as he was about to ask someone to shout, the door was pushed open by the hurried Sun Miao.
"Boss, water dispenser technology, we have made a major improvement!"
"This is good news, tell me!"
Sun Miao blushed and said: "The water dispensers used to be used in enterprises and institutions. There were so many people drinking water and the volume was so large that we ignored the problems of high power consumption and repeated dry burning of water dispensers."
"...Since the water dispenser entered thousands of households in the new year, these two problems have gradually become prominent."
"...So the R&D department listed this problem as a key research project. Just now, we used an ingenious electronic component module to achieve energy saving and control of repeated dry burning. It has passed the 24-hour test."
Wu Tao made a decision immediately, "This problem was solved in a timely manner! It is enough to become the soft power to support Yuankang's products not to reduce prices."
"...Continue to intensify the testing efforts, and strive for mass production and launch in half a month!"
"Yes! Boss, I promise to complete the task." After speaking, Sun Miaoxing hurried away.
Qin Xiaoxiao is still unavoidably worried, "Boss, it will take half a month at the earliest before the new energy-saving water dispenser will be launched. But during this period, I am worried that Midea will take advantage of the price war and overtake us!"
Wu Tao pondered: "This price war is really not very clever. No matter how you think about it, it feels like a dog jumping over the wall..."
Wang Donglai said with a wry smile: "Boss, this is probably Zhang Xiaoxiang's arbitrary move. He can do this kind of thing!"
Wu Tao's heart moved, "You said, if Zhang Xiaoxiang did this, Wahaha would have no objection?"
Gu Fei asked blankly: "What do you mean? Does Wahaha have any opinions? It's none of our business?"
No one knew what kind of medicine was sold in Wu Tao's gourd. Only Qin Xiaoxiao's eyebrows lit up, and she was the first to realize it.
"Boss, do you want to disturb the opponent's morale and fish in troubled waters?"
"Smart! Director Qin." Wu Tao explained, "The cooperation between Wahaha and Midea is nothing more than to use their channels to sell their own brand of purified water."
"...Now they have a rift, let's join in the fun, maybe we can have a chance."
"...After all, for Wahaha, having an additional channel to sell purified water is of great benefit to them but not harmful."
Without knowing it, Gu Fei said honestly: "But what good will this matter do to us? We have our own brand of purified water!"
Wu Tao stood up and talked freely, "We sell Wahaha's purified water on an agency basis. First, we will destroy the close cooperation between the two companies and weaken Midea. Just a little higher."
"Excellent!" Wang Donglai suddenly realized, "This is to take advantage of Yuankang's water delivery service network and use terminal channels to generate benefits. Now the price of Wahaha purified water is lower than that of Yuankang purified water, leaving us with a lot of room for profit!"
"That's what I mean!"
Qin Xiaoxiao turned around and left, "I'll do it now!"
