Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 515 You try to reason with him, he acts like a thug.

"As for disrupting market order," Jiang Yuxi's tone turned cold as she said, "I want to remind everyone that while cable television networks do indeed carry important public service functions, that doesn't mean they can be complacent and refuse to change. Handong Province is one of the wealthiest provinces in the country, yet you've only managed to develop less than 350 million users over the years. Don't you find that ridiculous?"

Jiang Yuxi then took out another report and said, "Chairman Chen of Jingzhou Cable TV Group is not here today, so I will take Jingzhou as an example. Jingzhou has the highest number of cable TV installations in the province and ranks third in the country. Jingzhou has a population of 620 million, but only 237424 households have cable TV installed."

"Let's look at another statistic: there are a total of 1.78 million TV users nationwide, of which 1.28 million are satellite TV users and only more than 5000 million are cable TV users. Don't you ever reflect on why it's so difficult to promote this? If there were no satellite TV users, at your pace of progress, all the TV stations in the country would be out of business."

Jiang Yuxi's words were sharp, directly cutting to the heart of the problem.

The conference room was silent except for the hum of the projector fan.

The association's leaders nodded thoughtfully.

"Regarding safety hazards and after-sales service," Jiang Yuxi said in a softer tone, "All of Huanyu's installation personnel hold nationally recognized high-altitude operation certificates and have purchased high-value accident insurance. The installation standards are uniformly formulated and strictly implemented by Glory Computer Co., Ltd. As for after-sales service, we rely on the Momo Virtual Equipment Trading Network's agent points throughout the province to provide 24/7 telephone support and on-site service within 48 hours."

"We welcome the association leaders and chairpersons to conduct random checks and supervision at any time. If any violations or service deficiencies are found, we promise to rectify them immediately and assume corresponding responsibilities."

"Finally, the issue of the distribution rights model being suspected of being a pyramid scheme and illegal fundraising is utter nonsense." Jiang Yuxi said with a hint of sarcasm, "The Blizzard Cup Global Esports Tournament is open and transparent. It is a global sports event authorized by the internationally renowned game company Blizzard and strongly supported by the Singapore government. Anyone with even a little legal and business common sense would not put these two things in an international event."

She glanced around the room, her gaze finally settling on Liu Mingyuan, whose face was ashen, and said with a smile, "Chairman Liu, as a senior figure in the industry, you should be more aware of the difference, right?"

Liu Mingyuan was speechless, and could only let out a cold snort.

Jiang Yuxi turned off the projector, closed her laptop, and smiled, saying, "In summary, the seven accusations made by the twelve cable information network groups are either based on a misinterpretation of policy, an avoidance of market realities, or conjecture lacking factual basis. The Huanyu satellite dish business is legal, compliant, in line with the market, and serves the people's livelihood. We welcome healthy competition within the framework of the rules, but we firmly oppose any form of stigmatization and unfair suppression."

A long silence fell over the meeting room.

The twelve chairmen looked at each other in bewilderment. Their carefully prepared seven deadly sins were refuted one by one by Jiang Yuxi with reason and evidence. She even turned the tables on them, accusing them of being complacent and stuck in their ways.

Qiu Shuiyun and the other leaders of the association exchanged glances, marveling at the young girl's negotiation skills.

Liu Mingyuan took a deep breath, knowing that he could no longer suppress the other party legally. His face darkened, and the last trace of feigned kindness in his eyes completely disappeared, replaced by naked arrogance.

"President Jiang, what eloquence you have! No wonder you sell goods on TV." Liu Mingyuan's voice suddenly rose, and he sneered, "You speak so eloquently, you can turn black into white! But do you think you can get by in this society just by talking reason?"

He slammed his hand on the table, the sandalwood surface making a dull thud that even made the teacups on it jump.

The air in the conference room seemed to freeze instantly, and even the cold air from the air conditioner seemed to stop.

"Let me tell you!" Liu Mingyuan pointed at Jiang Yuxi and said angrily, "Our twelve groups have been operating in Handong Province for so many years, and our roots are deep. Our relationships with departments at all levels and our influence at the grassroots level cannot be shaken by a few licenses and reports from a young girl like you!"

He glanced around at his equally unfriendly colleagues, his voice filled with threat, and said, "Since you don't know what's good for you and insist on dumping at low prices and engaging in malicious competition, then don't blame us for being impolite. From today onwards, our twelve groups will use all our resources to stop the promotion of your Huanyu satellite dishes."

"Today, you only have two choices. Either immediately raise the price of your lousy satellite dish to the same level as other legitimate satellite dishes on the market. 260 yuan, not a penny less. Or, we can take our time."

“Yes! We have to raise the price.” Wang Haitao immediately chimed in, “89 yuan? You’re trying to force us to our deaths! Either we do as General Manager Liu says, or we’ll just keep going like this.”

"260 yuan, not a penny less, we'll fight you to the bitter end!"

"If you don't agree today, don't even think about leaving this room!"

The twelve chairmen were furious, slamming their fists on the table, roaring, and threatening each other, turning the meeting room into a chaotic marketplace.

They no longer reason with anyone; all that remains is anger and intimidation stemming from their infringed interests.

The enormous roar nearly lifted the roof off, its force aimed directly at Jiang Yuxi, who was all alone.

Jiang Yuxi's face was slightly pale, but her back remained ramrod straight.

She never expected these people to be so shameless, revealing their blatant thuggishness when reasoning failed.

260 yuan? This is tantamount to directly killing the biggest competitive advantage of Huanyu satellite dishes, leaving Huanyu satellite dishes in the same awkward situation as other satellite dishes.

Starting in 2002, the prices of other satellite dishes began to be inflated, to the point where you could install cable TV by gritting your teeth and adding a hundred dollars.

Those who can afford cable TV will definitely install it, and those who can't afford cable TV also can't afford satellite dishes.

"Impossible!" Jiang Yuxi's voice was firm and resolute, with an undeniable determination. She said, "The price of the Huanyu satellite dish is based on market research and cost calculation. It is a legal and compliant pricing strategy. 89 yuan is 89 yuan, and it will not increase by a single penny! I, on behalf of Momo Group and Huanyu Vision, clearly reject your threats."

"Momo Group? You're trying to intimidate us with Momo Group?" Liu Mingyuan said angrily. "How big is Momo Group? Would it engage in such small-scale business? You're just a manager of a third-tier company within Momo Group. If you're so capable, then send Momo Group's top executives over. If they come, we'll pretend we were never here today."

“Chairman Qiu, leaders, look at this, this is their attitude.” Wang Haitao turned to Qiu Shuiyun and others, whose faces were ashen, trying to seek support, and said, “They don’t respect the association at all, they don’t respect our entire industry. If this vicious competition is not stopped, the cable TV market in Handong Province will be finished.”

Qiu Shuiyun had no idea that things would get so out of control.

He stood up abruptly, slammed his fist on the table, and roared, "Quiet down, all of you! Look at the state of yourselves! This is a coordination meeting, not a market brawl!"

Qiu Shuiyun was indeed helpless. These chairmen who had long held positions of power were, in a way, not even as good as those shrewish women who cursed in the streets.

Aside from their polite and refined demeanor in front of ordinary people, they are all known for their habit of insulting others' ancestors within their inner circle.

Qiu Shuiyun looked at Liu Mingyuan and the others, and said sternly, "Chairman Liu, Chairman Wang! Please watch your words and actions! Threats and intimidation are illegal! Our association organizes this meeting to discuss and resolve issues, not for you to launch an attack on Huanyu Vision!"

However, the twelve chairmen, blinded by greed, were no longer willing to listen to advice.

Liu Mingyuan, his neck stiff, said, "President Qiu, it's not that we disrespect the association, it's that this little girl is going too far! Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents! If she doesn't agree to raise the price today, we will not give up!"

"Yes! We won't give up!" The others echoed, their eyes fixed fiercely on Jiang Yuxi, as if they wanted to devour her alive. The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became extremely tense, filled with a strong sense of gunpowder.

Qiu Shuiyun knew that nothing could be reached in today's discussion, so he frowned and said, "Alright, let's end the meeting here. Everyone go back and calm down. We'll talk again another day. Meeting adjourned."

He tried to end the farce with an official order.

"Adjourn the meeting? No way!" Liu Mingyuan was the first to object. He rushed to the meeting room door and blocked it like a wall with his fat body.

The other eleven chairmen understood immediately and all stood up, forming a semicircle that completely blocked the only exit from the conference room, surrounding the lonely Jiang Yuxi in the middle.

“President Qiu, this matter hasn’t been resolved yet, you can’t adjourn the meeting,” Liu Mingyuan said. “We’ve come all over the province, we’re not here just to adjourn the meeting.”

Liu Mingyuan is very confident because he has a very good relationship with the current president of the Handong Provincial Information Industry Association.

He looked at Jiang Yuxi, whose expression had changed slightly, and said, "President Jiang, if you don't give your consent today, you won't be leaving through this door."

"You're being a bit presumptuous," Qiu Shuiyun said in a deep voice, feigning anger. "Get out of the way, or you'll be responsible for all the consequences!"

Qiu Shuiyun said this, but she didn't push away the chairmen who were blocking the door.

He's in this position, so he naturally understands what it means to be successful in all directions.

Although these twelve cable information network groups are under their jurisdiction, they are all dominant players in the information industry.

When the terms of these twelve chairmen come to an end, one or two of them may be promoted to his level.

"President Qiu," Liu Mingyuan smiled apologetically at Qiu Shuiyun and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, and we will bear all the consequences ourselves!"

The chairmen behind him also gave their assurances one after another.

They were certain that Qiu Shuiyun would hesitate to act rashly, and they were also certain that Jiang Yuxi, a young girl, would inevitably suffer a mental breakdown under such circumstances.

Although Jiang Yuxi had experienced the cutthroat world of business and dealt with local bullies like Wu Qiang, this was the first time she had ever been so openly surrounded and threatened in a conference room by more than a dozen men with immense local influence.

A chill ran through her, and she instinctively clenched her fists, her nails almost digging into her palms.

She forced herself to calm down, her mind racing as she considered how to escape, but faced with this impenetrable wall of people and the other party's shameless attitude, she felt somewhat powerless.

Just as Liu Mingyuan and others were about to exert further pressure.

Three clear knocks suddenly rang out from outside the tightly closed conference room door.

The sound wasn't loud, but it broke the tense atmosphere in the conference room.

Everyone was stunned, and their eyes all turned to the doorway.

Liu Mingyuan, who was blocking the doorway, frowned and shouted irritably, "Who is it? We're in a meeting!"

There was a moment of silence outside the door.

Then, a calm, even slightly mocking, male voice clearly penetrated the heavy solid wood door and entered everyone's ears: "What? You won't even let people in the door for a meeting?"

This voice...

Jiang Yuxi's pupils suddenly contracted, her clenched fists instantly loosened, and an indescribable complex emotion surged into her heart.

There was a sense of grievance, a sense of security, and a hint of dependence that she herself was unaware of.

Qiu Shuiyun and other association leaders also stood up abruptly, their faces showing disbelief and relief.

Upon hearing this voice, Liu Mingyuan, who was blocking the doorway, instantly lost his arrogance and conceit, leaving only a deathly pale face and terror.

That voice is so familiar; it's often used in speeches at events organized by the Handong Provincial Government Affairs Association.

Liu Mingyuan's fat face twitched violently, and his previously fierce eyes were instantly filled with immense fear.

He rushed over, pushed aside the people blocking the door, and frantically turned the doorknob. In his panic, it took him several tries to open the door.

The door opened.

Outside the door stood a well-dressed young man.

He was dressed in a seemingly casual yet well-tailored dark casual outfit, his hands casually in his pockets, his face expressionless.

His gaze calmly swept across the scene in the conference room, finally landing on Jiang Yuxi, who was surrounded in the middle.

Behind him followed a bodyguard with extremely sharp eyes.

Although he wasn't surrounded by a retinue, the mere sight of him exuded an immense, invisible pressure that instantly enveloped the entire conference room.

"Yes, Mr. Cheng." Liu Mingyuan's voice was trembling so badly that beads of sweat were visibly forming on his face. He subconsciously hunched over and said in a trembling voice, "You, you've come? We, we didn't know you were coming. We should have gone to the door to greet you."
