While Boss Jia was busy saving his own life, on the other hand, Lenovo, Yang Yuanqing, began to encounter trouble.
The reason was simple. Someone sued Lenovo and the Little Tyrant, and it caused quite a commotion.
The story went like this.
Xiao Ming was a junior high school student. About a month ago, it was popular for the top students to play all kinds of games. Xiao Ming was envious.
Therefore, he went to his parents and said that he wanted to study hard and improve himself every day. However, the English classes in school were very difficult, and he heard that the future was the era of computers. Therefore, he wanted to buy a typewriting learning machine to help him study.
His parents were naturally unwilling to buy a typewriting learning machine because a typewriting learning machine cost 348 yuan, which was equivalent to more than a month's salary. They were reluctant to fork out this money.
However, Xiao Ming cried and made a fuss. He cried and shouted that the whole class had one, except for him, and that he was looked down upon. He also said that he wanted to buy this top student to study hard and study hard. It was not a legitimate request.
You parents want me to study hard every day. Now that I'm willing to study hard, you don't want me to study hard. If you don't buy it, I won't study. I'll play every day!
Well, that was the routine anyway. If the first time didn't work, he would try it again. As Little Ming's parents, they soon had a mental breakdown because of Little Ming. Moreover, Little Ming's father was a law student and could be considered a high-level intellectual. He could also see that computers were the way to go in the future. Therefore, after struggling for half a month, he gritted his teeth and bought a learning machine for Little Ming.
However, the top student was too expensive. Coincidentally, the Little Tyrant appeared on the market, and the price dropped again and again. Now, it could be bought for only 160 yuan. It was not too expensive. Therefore, his parents clenched their teeth and bought it.
In the parents' imagination, Xiao Ming would definitely study hard in front of the television every day after buying the learning machine.
In fact, this was the case from the outside. As long as his parents were at home, Xiao Ming would indeed diligently practice typing. However, when they left home, even a fool would know what Xiao Ming would do.
However, paper could not wrap fire.
One day, Little Ming's parents suddenly had a day off due to a power outage in the factory. They returned home an hour early and when they opened the door, they found a group of children in their house. They were watching television while shouting, "Pick up Mushroom! Pick up mushrooms! There are mushrooms!! "
Obviously, these kids were playing Super Mario Bros.
Then, Xiao Ming became Super Mario. After a night of being beaten by his parents, a mushroom appeared on Xiao Ming's head.
Under the pressure of his parents, Xiao Ming confessed everything. He said that he had not used the learning machine to study at all for the past month. He had only used it to play games.
As for the two boxes of English learning cartridges that had to be delivered, they were actually two game cartridges. Moreover, there were all kinds of game cartridges for sale in the convenience stores outside. Most of the learning consoles that other children bought were used to play games. This was just a game console through and through.
This time, the parents could not take it anymore. The naughty child could beat them up, but this learning machine, oh, no, this game machine, could not be beaten up. After all, they had bought it for more than 100 yuan. They had to return the money!
Thus, the parent went to the counter where he bought the Little Tyrant and asked for a full refund.
In response, the Little Tyrant first looked at the receipt, then directly said that this Little Tyrant had been sold for a month. According to the relevant laws and regulations of the country, goods could only enjoy the three-warranty service for seven days. After seven days, they could only be repaired and could not be refunded.
How could the parent be willing? She was already full of anger in her heart. Now that she heard the Little Tyrant's words, she was instantly enraged. She stood on the spot and began to scold.
The Little Tyrant's response could be said to be indifferent. He allowed the parent to scold him there. Then, when the security arrived, they would forcibly take the parents away.
It seemed that the Little Tyrant was quite familiar with this kind of situation. There had been more than one parent who had come to ask for a refund.
However, the problem was that this parent was different from other parents. Xiao Ming's father studied law, and what he was best at was finding loopholes in the law.
Although it was true that according to the laws and regulations of the three-warranty service, a refund could not be guaranteed after seven days. However, if false advertising was involved, the refund would be one to three.
The father was also very careful. He collected a lot of The Little Tyrant's flyers, brochures, TV advertisements, newspaper advertisements, and so on. Then he filed a complaint and directly sued The Little Tyrant to the court. The reason was that The Little Tyrant was false advertising.
In the beginning, Lenovo was dismissive of this case.
It was just a small fry who filed a complaint. How could it turn the situation around?
Therefore, Lenovo did not take it to heart at the beginning. Or rather, no one reported it to Lenovo's headquarters at all. It was already stuck at the local distribution.
However, what Lenovo did not expect was that the parent first contacted the media before going to the court. Then, the media used a lot of space to report this matter.
After that, the media all over the country began to crazily report Lenovo's matter. It made Yang Yuanqing see the news in the newspaper.
However, Yang Yuanqing did not pay much attention to this. Wasn't it just a case of false advertising?
Even if the Little Tyrant lost, it was just a one-to-three refund. It was not a problem at all. Therefore, Yang Yuanqing did not take it to heart at first. As usual, he encouraged his sales staff to do the new publicity work.
What Yang Yuanqing did not know was that at this time, Jia Yapeng had already returned to Yuzhang. When he saw the newspaper, his body could not help but tremble. He sighed sadly and said, "It's over. Hua Xia Games' suffering is about to begin!"
"Isn't it just a case of false advertising? Why are you so agitated? "Zhu Qiushui said disapprovingly.
"This is not a simple case. This is a gun. He will soon shoot the first bullet against Hua Xia Games!" Jia Yapeng sighed and said, "Yang Yuanqing, you bastard. You don't even know how to copy homework. The situation that I have worked so hard to maintain is completely ruined by this idiot!"
Jia Yapeng slammed the table angrily.
Sure enough, the development that followed was just as Jia Yapeng had expected. Under the attention of many media outlets, the trial began.
The father provided sufficient evidence in court. All the advertisements focused on the characteristics and selling points of the Little Tyrant's typewriting learning machine.
But the problem was that The Little Tyrant was indeed selling games, and the most direct evidence was that The Little Tyrant had actually included two game cartridges in the big gift package that was packaged for sale!
At the same time, the father also collected all the original Little Tyrant's cartridges that were sold on the market. Then, he came up with an appalling number.
That was, none of the original Little Tyrant's cartridges that were sold on the market was related to learning. All of them were game cartridges.
"Please, everyone, save the children. Don't let their youth be ruined by games again! It will ruin their studies and future! " The father's final cry in the courtroom made many reporters shed tears of emotion.
These reporters basically had children at home who were addicted to games. They immediately felt a strong sense of mission and felt that they had to make decisions for their children's future. Therefore, articles full of emotional tears appeared on newspapers, television, and other media outlets.
Then, overnight, Yang Yuanqing found that the Little Tyrant began to be hated by everyone. Countless people in the media and newspapers were fiercely criticizing the Little Tyrant. They said that the Little Tyrant was a game console, not a learning machine at all.
A few days later, the Little Tyrant turned from a game console into a malignant tumor, a murderer that harmed the children's minds.
After a few more days, not only the Little Tyrant, but the entire Lenovo became the target of abuse, becoming a synonym for malignant tumor. What made Yang Yuanqing even more frightened was that when he came to work one day, he found many people gathered in front of his door. At the same time, there was a raging fire.
When Yang Yuanqing sneaked closer to take a look, he was shocked to find that the things that were set on fire were actually the Little Tyrant's learning machines. These parents were burning the Little Tyrant while cursing at Lenovo's door. There were countless reporters taking photos and interviewing them. Lenovo's logo was forever recorded by these reporters' flashes.
"It's over …" Yang Yuanqing only felt that the world was spinning. He staggered back to his office.
