Chapter 80

"如果能一直这么走下去，一路到老，那样其实也挺好的。”Chen Yuqing leaned against Hao Meng and said with a smile, softly.

Hao Meng knew that Chen Yuqing was a very proud and ambitious woman. Unlike other girls who liked romance, admiration, and pursuit, she preferred standing at the peak and looking down on the world, rather than standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up.

Hao Meng had known this for a long time, but he couldn't give her what she wanted. Now, however, things were different. Hao Meng was confident he could make her stand at the peak and be admired by others.

"Such a peaceful and ordinary life, all the way to old age, would miss out on many beautiful scenes. You definitely can't live such a life. A peaceful life won't belong to you. So, live a colorful life, but I will be with you, accompanying you until old age, and in our twilight years, we will recall this wonderful life!" Hao Meng said with a smile.

Chen Yuqing was taken aback, then smiled silently and said, "This is what you said. When I get old and you are not by my side, I will hate you for the rest of my life, no, even in the next life, I will still hate you."

After having breakfast at Tian Ji, the two of them took a taxi to the company.

"Meeting at 9:30, all managers above the middle level must attend!" Hao Meng looked at the news online, which was getting worse, with a strong determination to drive Blue Charm Technology into the abyss.

"Okay!" The assistant secretary, Gu Yan, turned and went out to issue the notice. It was only 8:30, an hour before the meeting.

Hao Meng frowned. This online public relations battle seemed much more serious than he had imagined. He thought some rumors would naturally dissipate, but now it seemed he had underestimated the opponent. They were using this opportunity to relentlessly attack Blue Charm Technology, trying to force it into a corner.

"Blue, given the current trend, what do you think we should do?" Hao Meng called out Blue and asked in a serious tone.

Blue's brows were also furrowed. She said, "On the official forum, many customers who pre-ordered the phone are demanding refunds. One reason is the rumors about Blue Charm Technology online, and the other is the time factor. After all, a six-month delivery time is quite long, and some people feel they are at a disadvantage by paying in full for the pre-order."

"Then you mean we should refund?" Hao Meng asked with a frown. Refunds were definitely something he didn't want to see, as the development of Blue Charm Technology, without additional funding or venture capital, was directly related to the pre-sale of this batch of products. If the money was refunded to customers, Blue Charm Technology would be left with nothing.

"Whether to refund or not is up to you, the boss. Refunding is a matter of integrity; if customers don't want to buy, there's no need to force them, as not everyone can wait. Not refunding is also an option, as the pre-sale terms clearly state that no refund requests will be processed before delivery." Blue thought for a moment and said.

Hao Meng was also hesitant. If Blue Charm Technology chose to refund, a large part of the online rumors would naturally dissipate, but he was afraid of the ripple effect. If one or two, or even hundreds of customers chose to refund, Blue Charm Technology could handle it, but if 80% of the ten thousand customers chose to refund, how would they solve the problem?

Blue considered and said, "Boss, how about this: we can refund, but we will evaluate the credit of customers who breach the contract without cause. Since all pre-order customers have left detailed addresses, we will not sell our latest products to these people in the future, and they will not be able to participate in any pre-order activities."

"Blacklist the refunding customers?" Hao Meng was taken aback.

Blue blinked and said, "How can it be called a blacklist? Blue Charm Technology has its own credit evaluation system, and we didn't breach the contract first. Besides, whether to buy our products is up to the customers, so why can't we decide who to sell our products to?"

"Right!" Hao Meng nodded vigorously and suddenly laughed, saying, "Exactly, now you treat me with indifference, but in the future, I will make you feel unworthy. This will be the style of Blue Charm Technology. We will reward loyal customers in various ways, and we won't tolerate those who don't follow the agreement."

Since the decision was made, they acted immediately. Hao Meng had Blue start formulating the refund system and customer credit files. Blue Charm Technology currently had 20,000 customer files, and these 20,000 people were the first batch of users. In the future, their credit scores would be boosted, giving them priority or direct purchase rights for new products.

At 9:30, in the Blue Charm Technology meeting room, Hao Meng, with Gu Yan, entered on time.

Including Chen Yuqing, there were a total of eleven people, all middle and upper-level managers of Blue Charm Technology, mostly recently hired. Their loyalty to the company needed to be tested. It could be said that while these people were observing Blue Charm Technology, the company was also observing them. These middle and upper-level managers might not all stay in the company in the future, but at least now, they were part of Blue Charm Technology.

"Good morning, everyone, welcome to Blue Charm Technology. I am Hao Meng, the founder and chairman of Blue Charm Technology, and you can also call me your boss. Some of you have already met, and some are still unfamiliar, but that's fine because we will be working together for a long time." Hao Meng sat down and smiled, starting the meeting.

Then he turned to Chen Yuqing and said, "Ms. Chen, please give everyone a systematic introduction to the current status of Blue Charm Technology and our development plans for this year!"

Chen Yuqing smiled and nodded, opening the file folder. "Blue Charm Technology currently has its own smart voice software, Smart Blue, with over 20 million global installations. There are four versions: Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean. The international markets for the latter three versions need to be further developed, and the domestic market is far from saturated."

At this point, Chen Yuqing paused slightly. The smart voice software 'Smart Blue' was the brightest highlight of Blue Charm Technology. With 20 million users, no one could call it a poor-quality software. If anyone dared to say so, they would be attacked by Smart Blue's loyal fans.

The 20 million user installations were far from the limit of Smart Blue. Just the domestic market alone, with over 100 million new smartphones added each year, showed the vast potential of the market.
