Extraordinary Genius
Chapter 846 - Sued for Discrimination
"The Oriental Deer had dominated the femalelong-distance race! w.a.n.g Junxia had won both the 5,000m and 10,000m races andbroke the game’s records for both events……"
All the media were reporting about w.a.n.gJunxia. Gold medalists for other events were worth reporting, but compared tow.a.n.g Junxia, who had broke records for two events, they were not newsworthy.
w.a.n.g Junxia"s pictures in the papers werenot the part when she crosses the finishing line or her running around thetracks with the Chinese flag. It was a picture of her being interviewed afterthe race. She was standing beside a vehicle during the interview.
w.a.n.g Junxia was leaning against an Off-roadvehicle with two gold medals.
Many people noticed the logo of thatvehicle was very familiar.
As the readers flipped the newspaper, theysaw an article with pictures about the Chinese supporters. One of the picturesmade the readers flipped back to the previous page.
The logo on the Chinese supporters was exactlythe same as the car which w.a.n.g Junxia was leaning on!
……
The following day, there was a full-pageadvertis.e.m.e.nt in the papers. This advertis.e.m.e.nt is in the middle of the Olympicsection, and it was prominent.
"Songjiang Motors - Oriental Deer, iscoming your way. Unbeatable Oriental Deer!"
A picture, a simple slogan, and a full-pageadvertis.e.m.e.nt spark the interest of many readers. They called the numberprovided to enquire about this vehicle.
Songjiang Motors had invested a lot in thisadvertising campaign. Most of the money was spent on advertis.e.m.e.nts in thepapers, bus stations, TV, etc. Feng Yu was also prepared to lose money thisyear. But more importantly, he wants to enter the US automobile market!
Feng Yu had contacted the dealers, butbecause Songjiang is an unknown brand in the US, he got to pay the dealersmore. The dealers also suggested having an outstanding name for this off-roadvehicle.
Feng Yu thought for a day and finallydecided to use Oriental Deer as the name of this model, and it symbolizes theoutstanding off-road abilities of this car. At the same time, he can get w.a.n.gJunxia, whose nickname is Oriental Deer, to be the spokesperson.
The dealers had offered another suggestion.They asked Feng Yu to make a comparison between his car and other brands in thesame category. This will show the superior specs of this vehicle, and such an advertis.e.m.e.ntis legal in the US.
For example, Coca-Cola has an advertis.e.m.e.ntwhere a kid bought two cans of Pepsi and stepped on them to reach a vendingmachine to buy a can of c.o.ke. This advertis.e.m.e.nt is to show the superiority ofCoca-Cola against Pepsi! Pepsi immediately retaliates with an ad where a truckcarrying Pepsi knocked over another truck carrying Coca-Cola.
The dealers made some comparisons withsimilar vehicles of other brands. One was the US Hummer, and the other wasToyota 4500. These two models were chosen to make comparisons for comfort andfuel efficiency. After that, the Jeep Cherokee was picked to compare theoff-road abilities.
Everything was going according to plan andthere were many queries on the car with the dealers. Some people wereinterested in and wanted to purchase. If the advertising campaign carries on,the sales will increase, and brand awareness will increase.
But at this time, a different opinionappeared.
"China can also produce good cars? TheChinese Automobile industry is too backward, and this Songjiang Oriental Deeris definitely not as good as advertised. The specifications might look good onpaper, but who knows if you need to overhaul the engine after 500km!"
This was said in a TV program, and the TVstation is the one Feng Yu wants to bankrupt!
……
"Boss, I got the list of this TV station"sshareholders. It is obvious that they did this on purpose." Ralph pa.s.sed a fileto Feng Yu. He also knew that Feng Yu was furious and will go after this TVstation!
Before this program, Feng Yu said there isno hurry to deal with them. They will collect information and find a way todeal with this station. But now, after this program, Feng Yu will not waitanymore.
This program was not the only program that criticizesSongjiang - Oriental Deer. Many of this TV station"s programs exaggerated onthe flaws of Feng Yu"s car and even made a video that was repeated severaltimes! They were intentional provoking Feng Yu!
"Wilson, have you prepared the things Iasked for?" The corner of Feng Yu"s eyes is twitching and could not hold backhis anger!
"I am prepared. We can sue them anytime,and I guarantee that we can escalate this matter to racial discrimination! Theyare in deep trouble!"
In the US, racial discrimination is verysensitive and will be taken seriously.
Wilson will sue the TV station fordiscrimination against the Chinese. How can they say the Chinese athletes hadto depend on stimulants to achieve results? That"s discriminating against theChinese!
w.a.n.g Junxia had broken two Olympic Gamesrecord and pa.s.sed the doping test. This proves that the Chinese are capable ofwinning medals!
"You must make sure the bosses of this TVstation know some things cannot be said or do!" Feng Yu ordered. These peopleare just asking for it. He was already p.i.s.sed over the last incident, and now,they are provoking him!
Yes, boss. I promise that during thelawsuit, their programs will be stopped and they will have to compensate theadvertisers and their audiences for their paid services. Even if we are notsuccessful in getting compensations from the, they will also be in trouble!"Wilson replied, confidently.
It"s hard to get compensation from the TVstation as Wilson is suing the station on behalf of an individual, and notChina"s Olympic team.
China"s Olympic team is satisfied afterthat TV commentator apologized and was fired. They don"t want to blow up thismatter and affect the relationships between both nations.
Feng Yu could not change Ma Tao"s mind asthis involves politics. He does not want to get involved.
"Ok. Go ahead. I want to see the results a.s.soon as possible." Feng Yu said.
Feng Yu hoped that Paul will also sufferlosses along with the TV station. He is too arrogant!
……
3 days later, a lawsuit is reported andshook the whole nation. A Chinese national is suing x.x.x TV station for a discriminationcomment against Chinese. He demands an apology from all the shareholders and 1million USD compensations!
Racial discrimination and 1 million USDcompensation are easily remembered by people. Even US President Clinton tooknote of this lawsuit. After all, he had attended the opening ceremony.
President Clinton did not expect thisincident to be blown out of proportion and if the Chinese won the lawsuit, hewould be affected as he had announced he wants to eliminate racialdiscrimination!
What is in the brains of the people in thisTV station? s.h.i.t?!
Feng Yu got his men to spread the news of this case, and the whole nation is focusing on this case…
