Chapter 1520 Ye Xianshuang's Methods
Lu Feng's questions were sharp and insightful, silencing everyone present.
Yes, they can raise tariffs, and so can the United States, which is an expert at it.
China is simply no match for it.
"Alright, stop sighing and complaining here. Leave this to me."
Seeing their worried faces, Lu Feng stood up, finished the last puff of his cigarette, and then left the office.
He left, but Lei Zheng and the others were stopped by Ye Xianshuang and stayed.
"Mr. Ye, what are you doing keeping us here?"
Wen Jingchuan asked curiously.
It's important to understand that Tenglong and Lianke have just merged, and their corporate cultures and regulations are quite different.
As the company's vice president, his most important task now is to smoothly integrate the two companies.
With wolves lurking outside and dangers looming everywhere, the company cannot afford any more problems internally.
Therefore, his time can be said to be extremely precious.
Although the others did not ask any questions, they all focused their attention on Ye Xianshuang, their superior.
They're in Lu Feng's private office now. Lu Feng, the person in charge, has left, so what are they still doing here?
Faced with their curiosity, Ye Xianshuang's cold and beautiful face remained expressionless; she simply said:
"The reason we've kept you here is to discuss how to resolve the price war with Apple."
"Huh? Mr. Ye, Chairman Lu doesn't have a good solution to this problem right now. What else can we do?"
Lei Zheng was very puzzled. Even with the power Lu Feng had, there was nothing they could do for the time being. Although they all had status and strength, if Lu Feng couldn't do it, they definitely couldn't either.
"What to do? Of course, we'll do what Chairman Lu is unwilling to do!"
Upon hearing Lei Zheng's question, Ye Xianshuang's expression immediately turned cold, and the atmosphere in the entire office seemed to drop several degrees in temperature along with her expression.
The people present were somewhat nervous due to her cold gaze and imposing aura.
"Gentlemen, Chairman Lu pays us high salaries not so we can do his menial tasks. If he only lets Chairman Lu solve every problem, then what is the point of having us?"
"We must prove our worth to Chairman Lu. Remember, loyalty alone is not enough; we must also prove our talent and ability!"
Ye Xianshuang's gaze swept over the group as she spoke, word by word.
"Mr. Ye, what should we do now?"
Zhou Han looked at his superior with anticipation. In fact, he shared the same thoughts as Ye Xianshuang.
There are some things Lu Feng is unwilling to do because he still has morals, and moreover, as the ruler, he cannot afford to have any stains if he wants to stand at the top of this world.
But these people don't have these concerns.
As long as the goal can be achieved, some underhanded methods can be used.
Even if the truth comes out, they can just step forward and take the blame; it will never implicate Lu Feng.
"It's very simple, just use those methods that Chairman Lu would disdain!"
Ye Xianshuang's aura grew increasingly cold, and the aura of a future dark business queen slowly emerged, making her appear even more frigid.
"For example, since Apple has lowered its prices, we can use online trolls to smear it, saying that the reason it lowered its prices is because there was a problem with this batch of chips."
"Or expose its weaknesses, such as signal problems or charging problems, and use all available methods."
"In this way, even if we can't stop Apple's offensive, we can at least dampen its arrogance."
"Of course, these methods alone cannot truly strike at Apple. I remember Apple still has many factories in China, right?"
“We’ll start with them, find any excuse, and shut them down for a few days.”
"In short, to sum it up in one sentence, even if I can't kill it, I'll still take a piece of its flesh! Do you understand?"
The cold voice fell, and everyone except Zhou Han hesitated.
If they really follow Ye Xianshuang's plan, then once the truth comes out, the negative impact will be something they won't be able to quell.
Most importantly, their operation was carried out in secret, without any authorization from Lu Feng. What if Lu Feng retaliates later?
"What? You have concerns?"
His pale blue eyes opened and closed, and his imposing aura swept over Wen Jingchuan and the others.
"Um...Mr. Ye, that's not what we meant...it's just...it's just..."
Lei Zheng stammered, a business tycoon who had dominated the business world was so intimidated by Ye Xianshuang's imposing presence that he was speechless.
"No buts!"
"Since I was the one who proposed this, I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong. Go ahead and do it!"
Ye Xianshuang waved her hand impatiently. She was always decisive and efficient, and she hated people who were so indecisive.
"Yes, yes, we'll get on it right away..."
Seeing that she seemed angry, Lei Zheng and the others nodded repeatedly, not daring to say another word, and fled the office as if running away.

The news of Apple's price cut swept across China like a storm in less than half a day.
The news went viral online and in the real world, and most people's first reaction upon hearing it was disbelief.
After all, looking at the entire mobile phone industry on Earth, only Apple's prices are the most stable. Other mobile phones start to drop in price three months after their release, while Apple only lowers the price of the previous generation of mobile phones when it releases a new one.
In the mobile phone industry, the title of "King of Value Retention" is not earned for nothing.
However, when they arrived at the official website and saw the price drop of two thousand, they were first stunned, then overjoyed.
Regardless of the reason for Apple's price reduction, it is ultimately the consumers who benefit.
As a result, orders for Apple grew at an astonishing rate.
Some are happy, some are sad. Apple's price cut has made consumers happy, but Chinese mobile phone manufacturers are not.
This is because they are facing the same situation as rice, with their own orders plummeting.
OOPP Group.
Inside the office, Chen Yongyun, who was looking worried, was interrupted by a series of urgent knocks on the door.
"please......."
He was about to speak when the door opened and a figure appeared in his field of vision.
"Hey, Old Chen, what brings you to sit here idly? Something big has happened! Apple has suddenly gone crazy, they've actually lowered their prices..."
