Zhengyangmen: I refuse to be a bootlicker, Su Meng panicked

The subsequent topic was still about the features of Xiapu's new products, but Han Chunming completely lost interest and turned off the TV.

"What the hell is this Japanese devil talking about? He wants to declare war on our Hongmeng Group!" Taozi suddenly got angry and pointed at the TV angrily.

Seeing Taozi's expression, Han Chunming couldn't help but laugh and said, "Taozi, why are you so angry? Since Xia Pu has issued a challenge, then we should accept it and become his slaves."

"Accept the challenge? Chunming, how do you plan to accept the challenge?" Taozi was a little confused.

Mingke's color TV hasn't even been released yet, so how should we respond? Han Chunming smiled and said, "We can just confront them head-on." "Ah? Head-on?" Taozi was confused. What did this mean? Does this mean accepting the challenge?

But Han Chunming had no intention of explaining and just left.

Taozi was stunned and chased after Han Chunming: "Chunming! Please explain clearly so I can prepare! Hey! Chunming, wait for me!"

It was not until Taozi received the notice that he understood what Han Chunming meant by a head-on confrontation.

Coinciding with the official launch of the Mingke color TV, Han Chunming also held a press conference.

However, Han Chunming did the same thing as Xia Pu, which was to simply announce the launch of the product without directly displaying it.

This approach has aroused the outside world's curiosity about Mingke's color TV. Compared with Xiapu's color TV, which one is better?

However, neither company seems to have any intention of showing off their products, and they will wait until the day they are officially launched.

"Mr. Han, as a local color TV brand, what advantages does Mingke have?" a reporter began to ask.

"As a local brand, I am personally very proud. Being able to represent is a very advantageous thing in itself. In addition, our Hongmeng Group's technology is very mature. I believe that the debut of our TV 490 environment will give everyone a surprise."

Talking freely in front of reporters has become Han Chunming's usual style, and he has never been afraid of questions from the media.

"Xia Pu also held a new product launch conference before, and Mingke held a press conference right after that. Does this mean they are challenging Xia Pu directly?" The reporter began to ask sharp questions.

"There is no question of challenging. I need to correct something. It should be Xia Pu who is issuing a declaration of war to Hongmeng Group, right?" Han Chunming said with a smile.

The reporters in the audience all laughed. It was indeed true.

If Xia Pu hadn't held a press conference first to challenge Hongmeng Group, why would Han Chunming hold a press conference of his own?

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that Han Chunming is deliberately creating confusion. After all, everyone has only heard the news and has not seen Mingke's actual products.

"So, Mr. Han, how do you plan to respond to Xia Pu's challenge?" the reporter continued to ask.

"My personal opinion is that technology is always moving forward, and no one is absolutely first-class. What I want to say is that Xia Pu has become the past, and we, Mingke, are the future."

These words were so domineering that almost all the media reporters gasped.

How can one be so confident as to speak so arrogantly?

"Mr. Han, you have accepted Xia Pu's challenge, right? What do you plan to do?"

"Since Xia Pu is so confident in his products, he should not be afraid of comparison, right? Our Hongmeng Group's Mingke brand color TV is also not afraid of being compared. Why not have a face-to-face test and let everyone see which brand of color TV has better performance?" Han Chunming said with a smile.

The reporters in the audience were once again in an uproar. This was no longer just a letter of challenge; it was a direct written test with Xia Pu!

The reporters wrote furiously, quickly recording what Han Chunming had just said.

Such big news will definitely occupy the headlines of all newspapers. The competition between domestic brands and foreign brands will definitely be a very exciting competition!

Of course, as local media, reporters are more likely to stand on Han Chunming's side. Their writing will be sharp, but they will definitely not be polite.

"What if Xia Pu doesn't accept your challenge?"

"It's okay if you don't accept it, just think of it as a casual remark from me. However, if Xia Pu, a Japanese brand, doesn't even dare to accept this challenge, I personally would doubt their quality." Han Chunming's provocative words were self-evident when he said this in a seemingly joking manner.

The reporters also laughed. Han Chunming is really a very humorous person.

However, it can also be seen that he has absolute confidence in the quality of his products. It seems that there will be a very exciting competition to watch next.

After the press conference, the reporters went back to prepare the next day's front-page headlines.

Sure enough, on the news pages of the next day, the report of Han Chunming's direct challenge to Xia Pu went viral among the people. Everyone was looking forward to this competition, wondering what the outcome would be.

Some curious reporters even ran up to Osawa Tomozo and asked directly, "Hongmeng Group has already sent out an invitation to compete. I wonder if Xia Pu will accept it?"

"Of course I accept." Osawa Tomozo's face was grim, and he seemed very unhappy. "We, Xia Pu, have been competing in the market for a day or two, so we are naturally not afraid. Since Hongmeng Group has this confidence, we, Xia Pu, certainly have it!"

In fact, Osawa Tomozo was almost gritting his teeth. He originally wanted to suppress Hongmeng Group in terms of sales strategy and publicity. After all, according to past experience, brands cannot withstand direct provocation.

But why did Han Chunming break the routine? He even proposed a competition. He really wanted to fight Xia Pu to the end!

There was no other way, and Osawa Tomozo could only accept the challenge.

The competition between Xia Pu and Ming Ke officially kicked off, which immediately aroused heated discussions among corporate brands in the industry.

Of course, most of the voices came from the left and the right.

"Although Hongmeng Group has risen rapidly, it is ultimately a local brand. Its technology... makes people a little skeptical!"

"Han Chunming is certainly impressive, but there's no precedent for color TV technology in China. Even with some domestic brands, most of the technology is imported from Japan. How can we compare to Xia Pu from Japan?"

"I have a feeling this won't end well. It's not that I'm pessimistic about local brands, but I just think they should be more self-aware."

"We still support Japan. Hongmeng Group will not be a match for Xia Pu."

There are many voices that are pessimistic about Hongmeng Group, and everyone seems to really not believe in Han Chunming's ability.

It's no wonder. Although the reputation of the Dharma Academy is very high, many aspects of its technology are based on foreign countries. How can it compare with Japan?

Of course, there are also some people who dislike Han Chunming, so they follow suit in criticizing Hongmeng Group.

The media's movements are relatively straightforward. They do not take sides, but instead vigorously report on the upcoming product competition between the two companies.

"What's wrong with local brands? Local brands can also beat foreign ones! Why must Japan win?"

"Damo Academy is the backing of our domestic brands. Now many foreign technologies also rely on the research of Damo Academy. I don't believe we can't beat Japan!"

"I'm optimistic about DAMO Academy! I'm optimistic about Hongmeng Group!"

Although there are many voices supporting Hongmeng Group, compared with the voices that are pessimistic about it, they are really not convincing.

After all, Han Chunming did not produce anything to prove that Hongmeng Group could really win, so even if some people believed in the strength of Hongmeng Group, there was no way to convince more people.

Han Chunming was quite open-minded about this. He let everyone discuss it while he continued to prepare for his own work at a leisurely pace.

Xu Yuan soon found Han Chunming. "Chunming, are you confident in your competition with Xia Pu?"

Hearing Xu Yuan's tone, Han Chunming knew that his elder brother had no confidence in him.

"Brother Xu, you don't believe me?" Han Chunming said with a smile.

"It's not that I don't believe it. I saw the previous test myself, but now the authorities and the Ministry of Industry are very concerned about this matter. I've been called in no less than three times, so..."

Xu Yuan looked at Han Chunming with some embarrassment, he also had his own difficulties.

If Han Chunming had any inside information about Xia Pu, he should tell me so that I wouldn't be confused and act like I knew nothing.

"Haha..." Han Chunming suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at, kid? You are so happy to see me anxious?" Xu Yuan was a little dissatisfied.

I'm obviously worried about Han Chunming, so why is this guy so heartless?

"Of course not, Brother Xu." Han Chunming quickly put away his smile.

"I'm not making fun of you. I just wonder if you truly have confidence in me, why are you so worried? As for the government and the Ministry of Industry, as long as they give me the support we agreed upon, I will definitely not let you down."

"Oh! Are you negotiating conditions?" Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"It's not about conditions. After all, if Hongmeng Group wants to survive, it must rely on the country. Those negotiated conditions are my current motivation for work. If I want to get better and better in the future, these conditions are indispensable!" Han Chunming said sincerely.

Although the official side had previously stated that they would give Hongmeng Group enough face in terms of tax policies, the official document has never been issued, so Han Chunming can never let it go.

The cost of producing color TVs is not low. If you cannot get some official policies, it will be difficult to open up the sales market in the future.

Xu Yuan naturally understood what Han Chunming meant. He nodded and said, "Don't worry. The relevant documents will probably be available in a week. It's already the final approval process. You can go ahead and do it."
