Chapter 839 – Endless troubles

“Old Jia, don’t you know how tense is our relationship with Taiwan now? Who told you to air this episode?” The Publicity Department’s head banged the table and asked.

“Leader, even if we don’t report about this matter, will our relationship improve? Everyone knows how arrogant Taiwan is. They had surrendered themselves to the US and have already betrayed us!” Station Chief Jia argued.

“You also don’t need to strain our relationships further.”

“I am not straining our relationships. We had reported the truth. Are you saying that we should allow those Taiwanese companies to do whatever they want?” Station Chief Jia said agitatedly.

“Old Jia, even if this is the truth, but you can portray it from another angle. You should know what to do.”

“Leader, I know we can report this matter from another angle, but will they be grateful to us if we did that? They are earning money from us to buy weapons from the US. I think we should suppress them economically and stop them from creating problems for us!” Station Chief Jia said furiously.

What Chief Jia said was taught to him by Feng Yu. In Feng Yu’s previous life, how did Russia expand its territory? They made their surrounding countries’ economies collapse and force them to have no choice but to integrate with Russia. But everyone knows Russia is the one behind everything.

How should China deal with Taiwan? They can do the same as Russia. Currently, what is Taiwan’s primary economy support? Manufacturing, trading, followed by electronics and entertainment. Their microchip industry is also one of Taiwan’s main source of income.

The Taiwanese entertainment scene is going downhill. Although it did not collapse, they will be overtaken by Chinese entertainers. The Chinese entertainment scene will exceed all of Asia in the future, and maybe only Korea can compete with them.

Taiwan’s trade is also on the decline, and Taiwanese manufacturers are slowly shifting to China. Taiwan is too small, and China’s labor and the land is much cheaper. The Chinese government also offers lots of subsidies to Taiwanese manufacturers.

Next is the Electronics and microchips industry. Feng Yu is already in the electronics industry, and he will not give Taiwanese companies any chance to grow. As for microchips, Feng Yu plans to invest in microchip factories after 1997. He wants to make Taiwan’s economy decline!

In Feng Yu’s previous life, Taiwan can be successful was because the average income in Taiwan is higher than China, and their economy is better too. But in this life, Feng Yu will not give them any chance!

Therefore, Feng Yu said these things to Chief Jia and want his support. If CCTV does not air Taiwanese companies’ advertisements, then Taiwanese companies will not be able to grow in China. This will affect the economy significantly.

How is Feng Yu going to do this? Very simple. CCTV’s advertisement slots are closed bidding, and Feng Yu will buy out all the slots where Taiwanese companies bid for. He will still pay CCTV higher for those slots. Feng Yu have lots of companies and products and needed those advertisement slots to advertise.

This way, it will be hard for Taiwanese companies to market their products in China. Feng Yu will also use other economic means to force Taiwan to lean towards China.

“Never mind. Old Jia, don’t get too agitated. You want to suppress Taiwan’s economy? You think it is so easy? How are we going to suppress them? I will let this slide now. but you must remember to avoid airing such sensitive news in the future.”

Station Chief Jia sighed after he walks out of the office. If siding with Taiwan will make them return to China willingly, he will also not air this report. But now… never mind. Let nature take its course.

……

“Old Zhong, how can you say those things on CCTV’s program?” The Chairman of the Beverage industry association, Zhu Shuangyin, asked.

“Chairman Zhu, did I say anything wrong?” Zhong Qingxian retorted.

“Old Zhong, this is a matter of principles. They are our Taiwanese fellow Chinese men!”

“If they think of themselves as Chinese, they will not breach the contract.” Zhong Qingxian replied.

Zhong Qingxian could tell this Chairman Zhu is standing on the two Taiwanese companies’ side. He was the one who insists on the alliance to take in these two companies. If not, just brand awareness alone, these two companies will never be qualified.

“Alright. Old Zhong, I will not harp on this. I heard that you all are holding back the payments for those two companies. What is happening?” Zhu Shuangyin asked.

“They had breached the contract, and we are doing this based on the contract terms. Is there a problem? If they want to bring this matter to the courts, they might have to compensate us more.”

Those two companies had only paid 1 million each. 1 million is not even enough for them to enter the supermarket chains! They still dare to make lots of complaints, like their products are not placed in the best positions, the newspaper did not advertise about their products, etc. They did not pay for the marketing fees and still want to be featured in the advertisements?!

“Old Zhong, we are all in the beverage industry association, and they are our fellowmen from Taiwan. You should be more generous towards them. They might really have difficulties with their productions.” Chairman Zhu said.

“Problems? What problem? One of them is the biggest food manufacturer in Taiwan, and the other is the top-selling instant noodles company in China. We don’t know how much they are earning? They have financial issues? They are just trying to take advantage of us!” Zhong Qingxian said.

The rest of the companies felt these two Taiwanese companies have the ability to fulfill the orders and allowed them to join the alliance. But now, they are just taking advantage of them and still trying to play victims!

“You all should try to resolve this over a discussion. How can you all hold back their payments?”

Zhong Qingxian was about to retort when his mobile phone rang. He took out the most trendy Nokia phone and walked aside to answer it.

“Manager Feng, you are back?” The caller display is Feng Yu’s China phone number.

“Yes. I am in Beijing. Are you struggling to handle the pressure?”

If those two companies were not Taiwanese companies, Feng Yu would not worry. But now, he is the one who made this decision and he should not let Zhong Qingxian face the pressure for him.

“That’s right. Those two companies have lots of connections. Lots of people had been calling me to pressure me. The interview you asked me to do at CCTV had become a big issue.” Zhong Qingxian said and took a glance at Zhu Shuangyin. This person was the most troublesome, and he had caused Lehaha to lose an important deal.

“Hahaha, this is also a good promotion for Lehaha. The viewers will surely support you.” Feng Yu laughed.

“That’s right. I am with Chairman Zhu now, and he is trying to help those two companies. Also, our Qili sponsorship deal with the Sports Administration had been called off because of him.” Lehaha wanted to make use of the Olympic Games to promote its products, but it was stopped because of Chairman Zhu.

“Just push everything to me will do. I am back, and I will handle this! Chairman Zhu is only a Divisional level official. Even if he is a Bureau Director level or a Ministerial level official, I will still do this!”
