Extraordinary Genius
Chapter 839 - Endless troubles
"Old Jia, don"t you know how tense is ourrelationship with Taiwan now? Who told you to air this episode?" The PublicityDepartment"s head banged the table and asked.
"Leader, even if we don"t report about thismatter, 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 ourrelationships further."
"I am not straining our relationships. Wehad reported the truth. Are you saying that we should allow those Taiwanesecompanies to do whatever they want?" Station Chief Jia said agitatedly.
"Old Jia, even if this is the truth, butyou can portray it from another angle. You should know what to do."
"Leader, I know we can report this matterfrom another angle, but will they be grateful to us if we did that? They areearning money from us to buy weapons from the US. I think we should suppressthem economically and stop them from creating problems for us!" Station ChiefJia said furiously.
What Chief Jia said was taught to him byFeng Yu. In Feng Yu"s previous life, how did Russia expand its territory? Theymade their surrounding countries" economies collapse and force them to have nochoice but to integrate with Russia. But everyone knows Russia is the onebehind everything.
How should China deal with Taiwan? They cando the same as Russia. Currently, what is Taiwan"s primary economy support?Manufacturing, trading, followed by electronics and entertainment. Theirmicrochip industry is also one of Taiwan"s main source of income.
The Taiwanese entertainment scene is goingdownhill. Although it did not collapse, they will be overtaken by Chineseentertainers. The Chinese entertainment scene will exceed all of Asia in thefuture, and maybe only Korea can compete with them.
Taiwan"s trade is also on the decline, andTaiwanese manufacturers are slowly shifting to China. Taiwan is too small, andChina"s labor and the land is much cheaper. The Chinese government also offerslots of subsidies to Taiwanese manufacturers.
Next is the Electronics and microchipsindustry. Feng Yu is already in the electronics industry, and he will not giveTaiwanese companies any chance to grow. As for microchips, Feng Yu plans toinvest in microchip factories after 1997. He wants to make Taiwan"s economydecline!
In Feng Yu"s previous life, Taiwan can besuccessful was because the average income in Taiwan is higher than China, andtheir economy is better too. But in this life, Feng Yu will not give them anychance!
Therefore, Feng Yu said these things toChief Jia and want his support. If CCTV does not air Taiwanese companies"advertis.e.m.e.nts, 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? Verysimple. CCTV"s advertis.e.m.e.nt slots are closed bidding, and Feng Yu will buy outall the slots where Taiwanese companies bid for. He will still pay CCTV higherfor those slots. Feng Yu have lots of companies and products and needed thoseadvertis.e.m.e.nt slots to advertise.
This way, it will be hard for Taiwanesecompanies to market their products in China. Feng Yu will also use othereconomic means to force Taiwan to lean towards China.
"Never mind. Old Jia, don"t get tooagitated. You want to suppress Taiwan"s economy? You think it is so easy? Howare we going to suppress them? I will let this slide now. but you must rememberto avoid airing such sensitive news in the future."
Station Chief Jia sighed after he walks outof 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 itscourse.

"Old Zhong, how can you say those things onCCTV"s program?" The Chairman of the Beverage industry a.s.sociation, ZhuShuangyin, 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 Zhuis standing on the two Taiwanese companies" side. He was the one who insists onthe alliance to take in these two companies. If not, just brand awarenessalone, these two companies will never be qualified.
"Alright. Old Zhong, I will not harp onthis. 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 aredoing this based on the contract terms. Is there a problem? If they want tobring this matter to the courts, they might have to compensate us more."
Those two companies had only paid 1 millioneach. 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 placedin 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 inthe advertis.e.m.e.nts?!
"Old Zhong, we are all in the beverageindustry a.s.sociation, and they are our fellowmen from Taiwan. You should bemore generous towards them. They might really have difficulties with theirproductions." Chairman Zhu said.
"Problems? What problem? One of them is thebiggest food manufacturer in Taiwan, and the other is the top-selling instantnoodles company in China. We don"t know how much they are earning? They havefinancial issues? They are just trying to take advantage of us!" Zhong Qingxiansaid.
The rest of the companies felt these twoTaiwanese companies have the ability to fulfill the orders and allowed them tojoin the alliance. But now, they are just taking advantage of them and stilltrying to play victims!
"You all should try to resolve this over adiscussion. How can you all hold back their payments?"
Zhong Qingxian was about to retort when hismobile phone rang. He took out the most trendy Nokia phone and walked aside toanswer it.
"Manager Feng, you are back?" The callerdisplay is Feng Yu"s China phone number.
"Yes. I am in Beijing. Are you strugglingto handle the pressure?"
If those two companies were not Taiwanesecompanies, Feng Yu would not worry. But now, he is the one who made thisdecision and he should not let Zhong Qingxian face the pressure for him.
"That"s right. Those two companies havelots of connections. Lots of people had been calling me to pressure me. Theinterview you asked me to do at CCTV had become a big issue." Zhong Qingxiansaid 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 forLehaha. 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 dealwith the Sports Administration had been called off because of him." Lehahawanted to make use of the Olympic Games to promote its products, but it wa.s.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!"
