The meeting with Rhodes also did not make much progress, and the situation even made Dell's meeting worse. Perhaps Compaq's success knocked Rod's head out, making him forget that in addition to Compaq, there are also manufacturers such as IBM, HP, and Huge Dell in the US computer market. After briefly understanding the situation of Lisheng Electronics, Rhodes bluntly told Lin Zheng and Tan Na that Lianchuang Technology will not be the partner of Compaq, and Compaq's partner will only be the world's top electronics manufacturing companies.

"I don't think this Compaq is too far from closing," Tan Na said angrily from Rhode's office. "With the world's top electronics manufacturing companies, why don't they continue to cooperate with Jabil and New Mexico? While looking for the best partners, they are reluctant to pay. Typical... Typical..."

After all, he is a lady, and he still can't say "A typical person is both a bitch and a whore and a archway."

"It's okay, let them be proud," Lin Zheng said softly to Tan Na. In fact, it's not just Tan Na who is angry. Lin Zheng is also very angry at this moment, but it is more important to comfort his girlfriend now. "My wife is right. If she wants to destroy her, she will inevitably make her crazy. Since Combat is crazy enough to be honest, it will be a matter of time before going bankrupt. If she doesn't cooperate with them, she won't cooperate with them. Anyway, we can solve the problem without them."

Tan Na is really right. After Compaq became the number one in computer sales in the United States this year, in just 6 years, it was forced to merge with HP due to various problems. Compaq, a company that once wrote a lot of money in the history of personal computer development in the United States, quit the stage of history. It must be admitted that Rhodes, a successful head, had "makes an indelible contribution".

But as soon as Lin Zheng said this, Tan Na was a little uneasy. She gently pulled Lin Zheng's sleeve and whispered, "But we can't get both companies and one of them. In order to win these two OEM contracts, we have made so much effort. If we don't succeed, wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted? Besides, before we came to the United States, we knew that these two OEM contracts were not so easy to finalize. We have also made sufficient psychological preparations for possible difficulties. If we don't succeed this time, then go back and continue to prepare. Haven't you also said that as long as we really have a competitive advantage over Foxconn, these capitalists will not be able to get over money."

When Lin Zheng heard Tan Na's words, he couldn't help but feel silence. Yes, didn't he expect this situation before coming to the United States? Lisheng Electronics has a reputation. In the eyes of Americans, the electronics industry of the Republic is almost the same as zero. It is normal for others to be unwilling to cooperate with him, but he is not appropriate. If he had this idea, it would be inappropriate.

"Okay! Let's continue to think of a solution!" Lin Zheng nodded heavily, "When we are fully prepared, I don't believe they can ignore us."

………………………………………………………………………………

When I returned to the hotel, I handed Lin Zheng a fax to the front desk.

The cost of international long-distance from China to the United States is too expensive. During this period of time abroad, in order to facilitate contact with the country, Lin Zheng will inevitably tell the company the hotel's contact information and fax number whenever he arrives in a new place.

When the network technology is not yet developed enough and the price of international long-distance calls from China to abroad remains high. International fax and email have become the most commonly used methods to contact Lin Zheng in China. Lin Zheng and Tan Na's conditions are slightly better, and the price of international long-distance calls from the United States to China is not expensive.

"What's the situation?"

"Luyang City is very opposed to our plan to relocate Luyang Electronics Factory 1 and Electronics Factory 2 to Wuhu City, and it is expected." Lin Zheng quickly browsed the fax and then handed the fax to Tan Na, saying nothing.

Yes, during the period when Tan Na returned home a few years ago, after careful discussion, Tan Na and Lin Zheng always believed that putting an electronics factory for OEM business in Luyang City was not a wise decision. The reason is very simple, transportation!

Although Luyang City is the capital of Anqing Province, in terms of transportation conditions, Luyang City does not have the conditions of Wuhu City. Wuhu is on the edge of the Yangtze River and has the ability to pass 30,000 tons of ocean-going ships. It is convenient to transport waterways, which is very suitable for export trade and OEM. Luyang City does not have such convenient transportation conditions. Relying on the Yangtze River, the largest inland river in China, Lianchuang Technology's OEM factory in Wuhu can pull products out of the factory and directly hit the ocean-going ship anchored in the port. This is something that Luyang City does not have.

Of course, there are many benefits to Lianchuang Technology, but for Luyang City, Lianchuang Technology's decision made them unable to accept it: We gave you Luyang Electronics Factory 1 and Electronics Factory 2 to help you develop the economy. What's wrong with relocating the factory to Wuhu City? Are you here to help us develop the economy, or to dig out the corners of our Luyang City?

"Wuhu City's reaction is quite interesting." Looking at the content on the fax, Tan Na smiled and said to Lin Zheng.

"Wu Hu must be happy. You don't have to go out by yourself. Investors come to the door on their own. Can they be unhappy?" Lin Zheng smiled and shook his head, "But this is a problem after all. If we can't solve it, we are not from inside or outside."

Tan Na nodded silently. The matter involved was very complicated. Although the two had already formulated preliminary countermeasures on the phone during the Chinese New Year, and carefully discussed this matter during the arrival of Angieber, and fine-tuned some scheduled response methods, this was their ideal situation after all, and the local government would not follow their own steps.

"Come on the plan I made before," Tan Na said after hesitating, "For Anqing Province, whether this investment is placed in Luyang City or Wuhu City is not a big difference. Anyway, the meat will be rotten in the pot. As long as you don't leave Anqing Province, it doesn't matter to them. The key is Luyang City. Even if Wuhu City helps us, it's not a good feeling to be fooled by others. It's better not to make a fuss if you don't have to."

"I didn't plan to break up with them. No matter what, Luyang City is also the capital of Anqing Province. I still have to give Anqing Province a face, so I will negotiate slowly."

"Well? The activity of that audition spokesperson achieved great results?" Seeing the content at the bottom of the fax, Tan Na exclaimed in surprise.

"What?" Lin Zheng was stunned for a moment. He just looked at the fax briefly, but did not look closely. Now he heard Tan Na say that the audition spokesperson activity that only started after the New Year was effective, and he hurriedly said, "Where is it?"

The audition spokesperson event was a counterattack planned carefully before the New Year to deal with the attack of Japanese Walkman. The core was Lin Zheng's "I endorsement for myself". However, unlike Lin Zheng's previous endorsement for Lisheng Electronics, this time, "I endorsement for myself" has become that as long as users who can provide Lisheng Walkman body code, they can recommend themselves to Lisheng Electronics as the spokesperson for Lisheng Electronics, without limiting men and women.

The entire audition spokesperson model is somewhat similar to the later NIKE three-on-three street basketball game. In terms of district/county, district-level winners can get a Lisheng CD Walkman. District-county winners enter the primary election of their city, and those who enter the top 10 of their city can get a bonus of 5,000 yuan.

The top 10 people in each city form a team to compete in the provincial finals. Each winner who can enter the top 10 people in the provincial finals will receive a winning prize of 20,000 yuan. The top 3 people will become product spokespersons in the province where Lisheng Electronics is located and receive a bonus of 50,000 yuan. During the endorsement period, you can receive an endorsement fee of 100,000 yuan per year.

For those in 1995, it is absolutely shocking to be able to get a 100,000-yuan endorsement fee. Even the income of first-tier domestic performing celebrities is only hundreds of thousands of yuan per year. The income of 100,000 yuan is even envious of many domestic little celebrities. But don’t be busy, this is just a provincial spokesperson. The spokespersons of the province will eventually gather in October to participate in the final finals of the year. Those who win the endorsement finals will become the image spokesperson of Lisheng Electronics next year. As long as you sign an endorsement contract with Lisheng Electronics, you will get a 500,000 yuan annual endorsement fee.

The selection of image spokespersons is naturally mainly young people. All students who enter the municipal or above selection competition and are on-campus students. After entering college in the future, they can receive a scholarship of 20,000 yuan per year for Lisheng Electronics, 10,000 yuan per year for second-class undergraduates and 5,000 yuan per year for junior colleges. Even the lowest scholarship of 5,000 yuan is enough to pay for his annual tuition and there is still a lot of surplus. As for the scholarship of 20,000 yuan per year, you can even give your family a subsidy of more than 10,000 yuan.

There is no need to worry about the city level. There are mobile phone Chinese partners that Lianchuang Technology has in almost every prefecture-level city before. There is no need to worry about promoting this project. However, if you want to make this project a big trend, the cooperation of TV, newspapers and other media will inevitably be unhealthy. Before coming to the United States, this plan has just begun to promote it. Lin Zheng was very concerned about the progress of the project. He talked about this matter with Tan Na yesterday. Unexpectedly, Li Jingfan had already reported the situation.

"Here, look," Tan Na pointed to the last paragraph on the fax to show Lin Zheng, "The final endorsement fee of 500,000 has caused a great sensation in China, and many people have praised it, especially our move to set up scholarships, which has been a lot of praise. Many people say that we are a conscientious enterprise."
