After publishing the article responding to Samsung Company, Ning Yifan paid it no further mind and went into the kitchen to make himself a simple dish of boiled meat slices.
At the bottom were cooked fries as the vegetables, followed by the meat slices thickened with starch, in a soup base colored a vibrant red from chili bean paste. The very top was sprinkled with chili flakes, sesame seeds, Sichuan peppercorns, and chopped scallions, all doused with a ladle of scalding hot oil. In an instant, the entire room was filled with fragrance!
Eating rice alongside, Ning Yifan ate his meal while contemplating the company's next steps.
Publishing the response to Samsung Company online was only the first step. Ning Yifan wasn't worried at all about proving his innocence; instead, Samsung Company's subsequent actions were what concerned him.
That was the global market for projectors. Ning Yifan didn't want Samsung Company using his technology to produce projectors and then make money in every country around the world.
That was truly disgusting. Not only was the thief crying foul, but they were also taking the homeowner's food and eating it.
Ning Yifan had to make Samsung Company regret cracking Shenma Technology Company's technology.
However, a major problem now lay before Ning Yifan: the global market was so vast, and with Shenma Technology Company's current production capacity, they simply couldn't handle it.
Samsung, with decades of established channels, global online sales, offline stores, sales teams, and business elites, was not something Shenma Technology Company could replicate in a short time.
Currently, Shenma Technology Company's success in Daxia Country relied solely on its product performance crushing traditional televisions. Consumers knew how to choose at a glance.
But if they looked at the global market, Samsung Company had many angles to play.
Both were projector products capable of crushing existing TV displays. Samsung was an international conglomerate, globally renowned, while Shenma Technology Company, founded only a few months ago, was only moderately famous within Daxia Country.
When compared, consumers might worry about Shenma Technology Company's after-sales service, potential product quality issues, or whether it was a scam company.
Furthermore, Samsung Company could deploy promotional channels globally with immense fanfare.
Ning Yifan's Shenma Technology Company, even if it entered the global market, could only sell online. In the initial stages, they would be ceding the vast market to Samsung Company.
They say good wine needs no bush. If development proceeded normally and Shenma Technology Company was the only one selling wine, there would naturally be no problem. They could take their time, and those who had tasted the wine would naturally seek them out and recommend them to others through word of mouth.
But now, another merchant had appeared. Although the wine sold by this merchant was clearly not as pure and delicious as the wine from the small alley, it was located on a bustling street, was a century-old store with a good reputation, and had branches all over the world.
The wine in the small alley might receive support from neighbors and spread within a certain range, but it could only helplessly give up on the global market.
This wouldn't do. Relying solely on Shenma Technology Company, it was almost impossible to compete with Samsung Company.
The situation was very different from before. Shenma Technology Company's strength alone was no longer enough. Ning Yifan recalled the several Daxia Country home appliance companies that had previously wanted to acquire Shenma Technology Company. Selling the company was impossible, but cooperation... that could be interesting!
Ning Yifan ate his meal alone for over twenty minutes, gradually clarifying his thoughts and figuring out how to proceed to solve the problem of Samsung dominating the global market.
After finishing his meal, washing the dishes, and cleaning the kitchen.
Ning Yifan took out his phone and found the phone number he wanted in the message recovery folder.
These messages were from when several companies had tried to jointly acquire Shenma Technology Company. They had sent information via text message to Ning Yifan, including contact information for their senior executives.
However, Ning Yifan had ignored them at the time; selling the company was absolutely out of the question!
He first found Changhong's contact number and directly tapped the digits on the message to dial.
Ring, ring, ring----
After three rings, the call was answered.
"Is this Mr. Ning Yifan?" a man's voice asked, sounding confused, through the phone.
It seemed the other party had Ning Yifan's phone number saved.
"Yes, it's Ning Yifan!" Ning Yifan replied directly.
"Sir, may I ask why you're calling?" The president of Changhong Company, busy at the time, temporarily set aside the second list of layoffs and listened intently to the call from the young man.
"Do you still have any interest in venturing into the global projector display market?"
"Is it possible? We certainly have the interest, but didn't you refuse before?" the president asked, somewhat surprised.
"That was before. At that time, our company's technology hadn't been cracked by Samsung yet, and we could develop slowly, eventually dominating the global market.
But now Samsung has cracked my technology. Although that technology is somewhat outdated by my current standards, global consumers won't see that.
If Samsung's projectors enter the global market, they will surely quickly seize the entire market, and I don't want to see a thief profiting greatly with my technology!
So, that's why I'm calling you. Are you interested in the global projector market? If you are, come to Shenma Technology Company in Dujiangyan tomorrow, and we can discuss it further.
This is also an opportunity for your company. Whether you can seize it depends on yourselves!"
After hearing Ning Yifan's words, the president immediately said, "This, alright, I will report this matter to the chairman immediately!"
"I look forward to your arrival."
The call ended. Ning Yifan wasted no time finding the contact information for Hisense Company's senior executives and called again.
"Hello..."
After a round of explanations, the other party also agreed to report the matter to their chairman immediately.
Next were the remaining companies. Ning Yifan called them one by one.
Ning Yifan wasn't too worried about whether these companies would come or how many would come. There were other home appliance companies besides these. If these didn't work out, he could seek cooperation with Midea, Gree, Supor, and others.
After making the calls, Ning Yifan was working overtime, which was rare for him.
Time was tight, and the task was heavy. He had to manufacture the latest model of projector tonight, a product that could crush Samsung Company's projectors and prove himself.
At the same time, Ning Yifan planned to upgrade the TV system for the projector and modify the equipment production line, changing the original driver board and driver program.
This time, Ning Yifan wouldn't make the same mistake as before. With his current capabilities, the driver board could be designed and manufactured further according to his ideas, the driver program would receive a major upgrade, and anti-theft technology would also be added.
Improvements to the drivers, new driver board design and manufacturing solutions, and production line upgrades meant Ning Yifan would definitely have to stay up late tonight.
Fortunately, the black technology System had a Deep Sleep function. Once activated, it only required about four hours of sleep per day to be fully rested, truly a godsend for late-night work sessions!
Just as Ning Yifan entered his overtime mode.
At this time, the presidents, CEOs, or general managers of Changhong and several other companies, whom Ning Yifan had contacted, reported the contents of their calls with him to their respective company chairmen at top speed.
The chairmen's responses were equally swift: "Purchase tickets to Shuangliu immediately! At the same time, prepare the travel arrangements from Shuangliu to Dujiangyan."
Ning Yifan had envisioned that some companies might be unwilling to send their senior management due to the current dispute between Shenma Technology Company and Samsung, as well as Ning Yifan's previous rejections of several companies' acquisition offers.
These senior managements would only say that Ning Yifan was overthinking things!
Currently, several companies were either laying off staff or shifting their factory production focus, and none were doing well. In fact, things were dire, with two companies even preparing for bankruptcy liquidation.
Now, Ning Yifan's call was like a lifeline for these companies. Regardless, coming to see him wouldn't hurt; it would only take a day or two at most. What if their companies could be resurrected?
Everyone was still very eager about the global TV and projector market share that Ning Yifan had mentioned in his call!
