Chapter 186: Concern from Gao Mingzhou

While Tang Feng and others were dining, the three major portal websites all published news related to the product launch event.

The news was mostly negative.

Especially the fact that Lianxiang Company refused to purchase the computer storage developed by Tang Feng was greatly exaggerated!

After all, Lianxiang Company is now in its heyday in the computer industry!

If even such a company is unwilling to purchase the computer storage developed by Tang Feng!

Then it means that there is a problem with the batch of computer memory developed by Tang Feng!

Originally, netizens were hoping that the price of computer memory would come down so they could buy relatively cheap computers.

But seeing that the computer memory developed by Tang Feng couldn’t be sold!

Their hearts suddenly cooled!

While Tang Feng was dining with Su Xiaoli and others, his mobile phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and found it was Gao Mingzhou calling.

He hurriedly pressed the answer button.

“Old Gao!” Tang Feng greeted.

“I heard that the product launch held this morning was very unsuccessful? What happened?” Gao Mingzhou asked straightforwardly without any pleasantries.

“The computer companies lack confidence in the product. Although I have demonstrated the product’s superior performance, many computer companies are worried that it may develop problems after some time. Lianxiang Company was interested, but they wanted a further discount on the current price, which I did not agree to,” Tang Feng honestly replied.

“If you don’t agree, what do you plan to do with this batch of computer storage?” Gao Mingzhou was a bit puzzled.

“I plan to start a computer company and sell the products myself,” Tang Feng responded.

“In that case, aren’t you planning to compete with Lianxiang Company?” Gao Mingzhou laughed.

Gao Mingzhou was not surprised by Tang Feng’s decision.

He was very clear in his heart that a peerless genius like Tang Feng would not easily compromise and admit defeat!

“Not just Lianxiang Company! Once I start a computer company, it is very likely to become the public enemy of the entire computer industry,” Tang Feng said.

“Public enemy? Isn’t that term a bit too exaggerated?” Gao Mingzhou asked.

“Not at all! Absolutely not exaggerated! By starting a computer company, I will definitely lower the price of computers to the lowest! By that time, the remaining computer companies, not to mention making a profit, would be lucky not to lose money,” Tang Feng answered.

“In that case, are you planning to engage in a price war?” Gao Mingzhou guessed.

“It’s not really a price war! I just don’t want to rake in high profits. After all, in my view, for a company to operate in the long term, it relies on earning a modest profit,” Tang Feng explained simply.

“Your idea is correct,” Gao Mingzhou nodded and said, “Maintaining a reasonable profit is the way to grow and strengthen a company’s business.”

“Old Gao, did you call me just to ask about this?” Tang Feng asked.

“Yes! I was wondering if there was any way I could help,” Gao Mingzhou answered.

Tang Feng felt touched upon hearing this.

“Old Gao, thank you for your concern. I will handle this matter. I really feel bad for making you worry,” Tang Feng said apologetically.

“That’s alright! You don’t need to be so formal with me! If there’s anything I can help with, just call me anytime! I will provide the greatest help within my capabilities,” Gao Mingzhou said.

“Alright!” Tang Feng nodded.

After chatting for a few more sentences, they hung up the phone.

“It’s really unexpected that the news of the product launch has reached Academician Gao so quickly,” Tang Feng said as he put away his phone.

“He is concerned about you. Brother Feng, you must pull yourself together,” Su Xiaoli said.

“But it’s just a product launch, not a big deal for me. I just didn’t expect that the computer memory prepared in advance would actually not sell,” Tang Feng said, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

“It’s mainly because the leaders of these domestic computer companies are short-sighted. They only want to buy mature products,” Zhu Zihang said.

“From a business perspective, their consideration is correct. This way, they can indeed minimize the risk. However, by doing so, they also lose the opportunity to overtake competitors,” Tang Feng said.

“After all, these computer companies do not value investment in technology, but are content with the status quo, wanting to make a profit from the difference,” Zhang Hao said.

“Making a profit from the difference is not so simple. Currently, Lianxiang Company is the best-developed among these domestic computer companies. Compared with those foreign computer companies, the gap is still significant. If not for policy conveniences, it might not be long before they are swallowed up by those foreign computer companies,” Tang Feng said.

“The main issue is that investment in technology research and development is too large, and there’s no guarantee that the investment will definitely pay off. If it weren’t for you completely localizing computer chips and computer storage, we might still be dependent on others in terms of computer chips even after twenty years,” Su Ming said, unable to help sighing.

“Not just twenty years! Based on the previous development speed, maybe not even in fifty years!” Zhang Hao said.

“Let’s not talk about this! Come on, everyone, let’s eat!” Tang Feng changed the subject!

Everyone immediately started to eat heartily.

After finishing the meal, Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli returned to the villa together.
