Wang Shuxiang: A New Level of Recognition
Chapter 540 Wang Shuxiang: A New Level of Recognition
The public debate raged on until November, continuing like a pot of boiling water, bubbling and gurgling.
Even though official media outlets stopped reporting on the topic, discussions among the public and in provincial daily newspapers never ceased.
Lin Xiaohe became a household name.
Anyone who watches television or reads newspapers remembers this young, capable, yet unyielding factory director from Northeast China.
Customers looking to buy a color TV tend to choose PanShi color TVs after considering factors such as price and emotional appeal.
In terms of public opinion, Changhong Factory was in a very sorry state.
In fact, thanks to Lin Xiaohe's foresight, the warehouse had a sufficient stock of color picture tubes, and the factory operated in three shifts, keeping the production line running non-stop.
The train carrying Panshi color TVs from the factory, like a ceaseless river, supports the economic artery of Anning County and even the entire Jinshi City.
You won't find Japanese color TVs anywhere in Anning County or at Pangdonglai Selected Supermarket.
In the color TV section, besides PanShi TVs, there are also domestic color TV brands such as TCL.
A team of Panasonic investigators from Japan came to Anning County and, upon seeing this situation, were extremely dissatisfied: "This is local protectionism! Why shouldn't you use our color TVs? This is unfair competition, and it will damage Dongguo's international image! How can our foreign brands view Dongguo?"
The sales clerks looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.
What's going on? It's just that we didn't sell Japanese color TVs, right? How did it escalate to an international issue?
Upon seeing this, the guests crowded around, forming a dense crowd.
The quick-thinking salesperson immediately went to find their supervisor.
Wang Shuxiang, who was in charge of purchasing, rushed over. Thinking about the suppression that the Japan Color TV Association had been putting on Changhong Factory recently, a burning anger rose in her heart.
She rushed up to the Japanese Panasonic investigator, poked his forehead with her finger, glared at him angrily, and spit out her words as if scolding a grandson.
"You little brat, born of a mother but raised by one, what nonsense are you spouting on my turf?! Don't think that just because you're wearing this coat you're not a monkey anymore! When our East was rich, you little devils were still naked on your islands. A bunch of monkeys, what are you pretending to be so important here?!"
"Good! Well said!" A chorus of cheers erupted from the surrounding area.
The Japanese Panasonic investigators' faces alternated between pale and flushed, especially the man with the mustache who had been verbally abused by Wang Shuxiang; his face was so gloomy it could drip water.
Wang Shuxiang wasn't afraid of them.
Since joining Pang Donglai, she has traveled all over the country and seen all kinds of people. How could she be scared by this group of skinny monkeys?
Moreover, this is Anning County.
If anyone in the county is bullied by the Japanese devils, all the men and women in the county will be so ashamed that they will jump into the river!
Wang Shuxiang opened her palm, and the quick-witted saleswoman promptly handed her a broom.
Wang Shuxiang grabbed a broom and chased the group of eyesores out of the supermarket: "Get out, get out, Pang Donglai won't serve you."
"You're running a business, how can you turn away customers?!"
Wang Shuxiang put her hands on her hips and raised her voice: "Why can't I?! You can all be shameless and play dirty tricks on Changhong Factory, so why can't I? Go ahead and call the police! Go ahead and sue us! We at Pang Donglai Supermarket will never serve you, no matter who you are. Believe it or not, I'll put up a sign at the door that says 'Japanese and dogs not allowed!'"
"Oh, wait a minute," Wang Shuxiang said, feigning sudden realization. "To compare you to dogs is an insult to dogs. You are beasts worse than pigs and dogs!"
The thunderous applause nearly engulfed the entire supermarket.
Some of the tall, strong guests, seeing that the Panasonic investigators from Japan were red-faced and looked like they were about to attack Wang Shuxiang, immediately stepped forward.
They were all over 1.8 meters tall, tall and strong, standing in front of the Japanese soldiers like small mountains. They rolled up their sleeves and threw the investigators out of the supermarket like they were chicks.
Seeing the Japanese Panasonic investigators, they were both ashamed and angry, and helpless. They could only leave cursing, which was met with cheers from the crowd.
"Well done! No wonder she's Director Lin's mother. Only a mother with such a strong will could raise a daughter as strong as Director Lin!"
Zhao Qiuju, standing in the crowd, exclaimed with admiration, "Shuxiang, you're amazing! You've changed so much in just a few days! You're not the same person you used to be!"
Wang Shuxiang held her chest high, her face full of smiles.
Proud! Pride!
I'd give myself 101 points for my performance today!
This matter quickly reached Lin Xiaohe's ears.
Despite her busy schedule, Lin Xiaohe called Wang Shuxiang and praised her highly: "Comrade Wang Shuxiang, you have demonstrated the spirit of the people of Dongguo and vividly illustrated what it means for women to hold up half the sky. All the women in Anning County will take you as an example and live out their own integrity!"
Wang Shuxiang, who answered the phone, couldn't suppress the upturned corners of her mouth, and her eyes sparkled as she humbly said...
"Hey, it's not as exaggerated as you make it out to be. I just can't stand them acting all high and mighty on our land, like they're superior to everyone else. They talk a good game, but all they really want is to make money off us. If they want to make money off us, they should have the right attitude. They want to make money and expect us to fawn over them and treat them like royalty. What, are we that cheap?"
Wang Shuxiang scoffed, "Other industries may have to endure humiliation because their technology is inferior. But our PanShi color TVs are no worse than Japanese color TVs. In the future, we will become number one in the world! Right?"
Lin Aiguo, who was pretending to read the newspaper but was actually eavesdropping nearby, had a twitching mouth.
This old woman has such a big mouth. It's already good enough that she can be number one in the country, but she dares to dream of being number one in the world!
Instead of wasting time bragging, why not dream? You can have anything in your dreams.
On the other end of the phone came Lin Xiaohe's hearty and confident laughter: "That's right! Our Panshi TV will definitely reach the top of the world! Not only TVs, but all industries will flourish in the future, catching up and regaining our original global status!"
"Daughter, I believe in you! With me here, no one in the family will dare to hold you back," Wang Shuxiang promised, patting her chest.
As soon as the phone call ended, Wang Shuxiang met Lin Aiguo's disdainful gaze and said irritably, "What kind of look is that? Are your eyes broken? If they are, go get some glasses."
Lin Aiguo gasped: "Have you gotten too bold?"
"What do you mean by fat? Hurry up and cook! I'm exhausted after a long day." Wang Shuxiang slumped onto the sofa.
"Comrade Wang Shuxiang, you've gone too far. I can cook, but please straighten out your attitude."
Wang Shuxiang glanced at him sideways and said quietly, "What kind of attitude is that? I'm not like you, keeping the red flag flying at home while having colorful flags fluttering outside. That's already a sign of my high moral character. One shouldn't be too greedy, understand?"
Lin Aiguo's face was a mixture of pale and flushed.
He has indeed had many problems with his lifestyle over the years, and even now, he hasn't stopped.
However, he couldn't accept being controlled by a traditional woman.
"Aren't you afraid I'll cause trouble for your precious daughter?!"
A cold glint flashed in Wang Shuxiang's eyes as she threatened, "If you dare to cause trouble, I'll make her sever her father-daughter relationship with you. You can replace men, and you can replace family members who deliberately hold you back! If you really can't replace them, she can just lose her father."
Lin Aiguo couldn't believe it: "Are you crazy? We've been married for decades, don't you have any feelings for each other?"
Wang Shuxiang peeled open an orange, popped it into her mouth, and found it very sweet.
She said calmly, "Our relationship ended a long time ago, when you had mistresses. How could you be so naive as to think I would love a rotten cucumber forever?"
