After receiving the notice from the US Branch, Dong Jing felt a little flustered, especially when she saw the photos and videos sent by Yang Long. She was even more flustered. Although she has been in charge of the Vientiane Group for a long time, she still She is too young to know how to deal with this situation. She also knows about the parades in the US. Almost every month there will be news about the people’s parade in the US, and the reasons for the parade are strange and strange. Wild animals, oppose racial discrimination, oppose medical insurance, oppose war, etc.

In the past, Dong Jing just felt boring when she watched these news. She couldn't figure out why people in these American regions would do such meaningless things. If the demonstrations are really useful, then what should the government do, but now the company has encountered this. This kind of demonstration, Dong Jing feels completely different. After all, what happened to others is completely different from that of herself. This kind of demonstration definitely has an impact on the company’s overseas business, but how much impact does it have? Hard to say.

Dong Jing considered it for a while, and then decided to ask Qin Jian's opinion.

She came to Qin Jian's office and told the story again.

After listening to Qin Jian, he asked, "Do you think the price should be lowered?"

Dong Jing shook her head and said: "I don't think we can give up. If someone protests, we will agree to their request, then they will have more requests. Once this kind of thing starts, it will be endless. These people will have to make progress. And the people who are protesting are not our main user group. They have not much influence on the current sales of the product, so I think it should not be reduced."

Qin Jian was very satisfied with Dong Jing’s answer. He smiled and said, “You’re right. The price cannot be lowered. You can sell at whatever price you buy. The only issue that needs to be paid attention to is to ensure the safety of employees, especially for Chinese. Security."

Dong Jing nodded and said: "I have notified the heads of foreign branches that I have paid more attention to safety issues. There should be no problem. Moreover, it seems that the current demonstrators are just sitting and demonstrating. It seems that there is no extreme behavior. "

Qin Jian said solemnly: "You are doing well, but you still have to beware. After all, demonstrations are likely to turn into violent demonstrations. For the sake of safety, let the main responsible persons be more careful."

Qin Jian nodded and said, "Okay."

...

Demonstrations in the US have continued. Every day, a group of people outside the gate of the Silicon Valley headquarters come to shout, but fortunately, these demonstrators are just shouting and there is no extreme behavior.

Yang Long's heart gradually relaxed, and the company's employees have basically become accustomed to this situation and continue to sell Vientiane Life and Death products.

Demonstrations abroad quickly spread back to China.

The well-known news media reported this situation in detail: Recently, a large-scale protest took place in the US. Thousands of people held high price reduction signs in the US branch of the Vientiane Group in Silicon Valley to demonstrate. According to this station According to the news, the main reason for this demonstration was that some Americans believed that the price of the Vientiane Life and Death Plate sold by the Vientiane Group was too high, which made them unacceptable, so they launched this protest requesting a price reduction. The protest has already After 18 days, some protesters said that if the Vientiane Group does not cut prices, they will protest to the end.

Now let's connect, our reporter in the local area.

Hello, host, where I am now is the headquarters of Vientiane Group in Silicon Valley in the US. Now friends in the audience should be able to see that this place is now occupied by the demonstrators, and some of them have demonstrated continuously here. For more than ten days, there were still a lot of tents for the demonstrators to rest. According to our interview, they were all called by a netizen named "Angry Turkey" on Facebook. Good host, this is all the information I have learned so far.

Okay, thanks to our front reporter!

For this protest in the US, we invited famous social commentators, Professor Li Shan and Professor Wang Tong, and let us take a look at the opinions of the two experts.

Li Shan and Wang Tong, "Hello host, and hello audience in front of the TV."

Moderator: "Hello, two professors, what do you think about this protest in the US?"

Li Shan said: "I think the protest this time is an activity that seriously interferes with the normal operation of the economy. The price of a product is determined by the enterprise independently, not by a certain type of person. This part of the people thinks that the product is sold. The price was high, so a protest was organized. This behavior is a typical robber logic."

The director said: "Professor Li Shan's comments are still so sharp. I don't know what Professor Wang Tong thinks?"

Wang Tongdao: "For people in the US, protests can be said to be a commonplace behavior. However, this is the first time that Kyushu products are more expensive. I think this is a bit funny. Our Kyushu products have always been It is famous for its low price, especially the products exported to the US, which are generally much lower than the domestic price. Nowadays, people in these US areas are affected by the fact that a product is sold at a higher price than the domestic price. Nothing. It can be seen that the psychological endurance of these Americans is poor. It is like a spoiled child who cannot bear the slightest grievance.

The host smiled and said: "Professor Wang Tong’s analogy is very imagery. People in the US are used to low-priced products from Kyushu. For example, they are naturally unacceptable when facing high-tech products from Kyushu. , But I think they will always adapt."

Wang Tong continued: "The reason why people in the US are unacceptable is that the products are from Kyushu. They are still looking at Kyushu today from decades ago. This will inevitably make a huge contrast in their hearts. Not to mention the Vientiane Life and Death of the product being protested this time, it is to say that the previous 5G products of Jiuwei Company also encountered resistance from the US and Europe. Why did they boycott? It is very simple, because they are afraid and afraid. Our technology surpasses them, so they will obstruct it in every possible way."

Li Shan interrupted at this time: "The Vientiane Life and Death Disk is a high-tech product carefully developed by Chinese enterprises. It is ahead of any country in three-dimensional technology. As a high-tech product, it has a high Added value is a very normal thing. In the past, high-tech products from the US also had high added value. If a chip is just a cost, not added value, then the value is very low. Isn’t it just a pile of sand? , Why do we have to sell us thousands of dollars or even tens of thousands of dollars to make a chip? The ex-factory price of a mobile phone is only a few hundred dollars, but when it is sold to Kyushu, it has increased dozens of times. What are these? These are High value-added is also where the profits of high-tech companies lie. For high-tech companies in the US, we recognize their high value-added, but now the products from Kyushu are not recognized by people in the US, so what are the cost prices? This is simply allowing state officials to set fires and not allowing the people to light lights."

The host said at this time: "Professor Li is right,..."

...

At this time in the linen headquarters, CEO Bezo is having a video conference with the executives.

A senior executive: "Recently we have received a large number of complaints from users asking Vientiane Life and Death Disk to lower its sales prices. Many of these users are our loyal users. I think their requirements are reasonable. The sales price of Vientiane Life and Death Disk is too high. "

Another executive also said: "I think so too, and I think the commission for Vientiane's life and death plate should be increased."

Bezo said lightly: "Why?"

The executive replied: "The Vientiane Life and Death Disk has been out of the category of electronic products and can be regarded as a luxury product, so I think the commission should be increased to 20%, based on the luxury category commission."

Before this executive spoke, someone retorted.

"No, I think you are too greedy to be a linen employee."

"No, no, it's not that I am greedy, but that the Vientiane Group is too greedy. Their production cost is only more than $100, but they sold for $3,000. Don't you think they are too greedy."

"Don't you count the added value of high-tech products?"

"So what, Vientiane has only one of our sales channels now. Without us, none of them can be sold. We have no problem raising the commission."

"President, I ask for a higher commission."

Bezo looked at the high-ranking channel who asked for a higher commission at this time: "You are fired."

The executive said in surprise: "No, why, I'm all for the company?"

Bezo said: "We are now discussing how to reduce the sales price of Vientiane Life and Death Disk so that our users can buy products below the market price, instead of raising commissions and taking advantage of the fire."

The executive's eyes widened and he didn't understand, "This doesn't conflict with increasing commissions?"

Bezo shook his head and said: "NO, you didn't understand what I mean. My purpose of starting linen is to provide customers with the lowest-priced products. It doesn't matter whether the company makes money or not, the important thing is that customers can get the greatest discount.

The executive wanted to say something, but Bezo did not give him this opportunity and broke his video link, which meant he was fired.

Bezo continued at this time: "I think the commission should be lowered. At the same time, Vientiane Life and Death is required to lower its sales price to be consistent with Kyushu's price, not to treat it differently."

A crowd of executives nodded one after another.

An executive asked: "So how much is the commission reduction?"

Bezo said: "Reduced to 1%."

The executive continued to ask: "What if they disagree?"

Bezo said: "Then increase to 51% and use the excess commission to subsidize customers."

The executives nodded their heads, thinking that Bezo's approach was really great.
