Chapter 846 - Sued for Discrimination
Chapter 846 – Sued for Discrimination
“The Oriental Deer had dominated the female long-distance race! Wang Junxia had won both the 5,000m and 10,000m races and broke the game’s records for both events……”
All the media were reporting about Wang Junxia. Gold medalists for other events were worth reporting, but compared to Wang Junxia, who had broke records for two events, they were not newsworthy.
Wang Junxia’s pictures in the papers were not the part when she crosses the finishing line or her running around the tracks with the Chinese flag. It was a picture of her being interviewed after the race. She was standing beside a vehicle during the interview.
Wang Junxia was leaning against an Off-road vehicle with two gold medals.
Many people noticed the logo of that vehicle was very familiar.
As the readers flipped the newspaper, they saw an article with pictures about the Chinese supporters. One of the pictures made the readers flipped back to the previous page.
The logo on the Chinese supporters was exactly the same as the car which Wang Junxia was leaning on!
……
The following day, there was a full-page advertisement in the papers. This advertisement is in the middle of the Olympic section, and it was prominent.
“Songjiang Motors – Oriental Deer, is coming your way. Unbeatable Oriental Deer!”
A picture, a simple slogan, and a full-page advertisement spark the interest of many readers. They called the number provided to enquire about this vehicle.
Songjiang Motors had invested a lot in this advertising campaign. Most of the money was spent on advertisements in the papers, bus stations, TV, etc. Feng Yu was also prepared to lose money this year. But more importantly, he wants to enter the US automobile market!
Feng Yu had contacted the dealers, but because Songjiang is an unknown brand in the US, he got to pay the dealers more. The dealers also suggested having an outstanding name for this off-road vehicle.
Feng Yu thought for a day and finally decided to use Oriental Deer as the name of this model, and it symbolizes the outstanding off-road abilities of this car. At the same time, he can get Wang Junxia, 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 the same category. This will show the superior specs of this vehicle, and such an advertisement is legal in the US.
For example, Coca-Cola has an advertisement where a kid bought two cans of Pepsi and stepped on them to reach a vending machine to buy a can of Coke. This advertisement is to show the superiority of Coca-Cola against Pepsi! Pepsi immediately retaliates with an ad where a truck carrying Pepsi knocked over another truck carrying Coca-Cola.
The dealers made some comparisons with similar vehicles of other brands. One was the US Hummer, and the other was Toyota 4500. These two models were chosen to make comparisons for comfort and fuel efficiency. After that, the Jeep Cherokee was picked to compare the off-road abilities.
Everything was going according to plan and there were many queries on the car with the dealers. Some people were interested 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 opinion appeared.
“China can also produce good cars? The Chinese Automobile industry is too backward, and this Songjiang Oriental Deer is definitely not as good as advertised. The specifications might look good on paper, but who knows if you need to overhaul the engine after 500km!”
This was said in a TV program, and the TV station is the one Feng Yu wants to bankrupt!
……
“Boss, I got the list of this TV station’s shareholders. It is obvious that they did this on purpose.” Ralph passed a file to Feng Yu. He also knew that Feng Yu was furious and will go after this TV station!
Before this program, Feng Yu said there is no hurry to deal with them. They will collect information and find a way to deal with this station. But now, after this program, Feng Yu will not wait anymore.
This program was not the only program that criticizes Songjiang – Oriental Deer. Many of this TV station’s programs exaggerated on the flaws of Feng Yu’s car and even made a video that was repeated several times! They were intentional provoking Feng Yu!
“Wilson, have you prepared the things I asked for?” The corner of Feng Yu’s eyes is twitching and could not hold back his anger!
“I am prepared. We can sue them anytime, and I guarantee that we can escalate this matter to racial discrimination! They are in deep trouble!”
In the US, racial discrimination is very sensitive and will be taken seriously.
Wilson will sue the TV station for discrimination against the Chinese. How can they say the Chinese athletes had to depend on stimulants to achieve results? That’s discriminating against the Chinese!
Wang Junxia had broken two Olympic Games record and passed the doping test. This proves that the Chinese are capable of winning medals!
“You must make sure the bosses of this TV station know some things cannot be said or do!” Feng Yu ordered. These people are just asking for it. He was already pissed over the last incident, and now, they are provoking him!
Yes, boss. I promise that during the lawsuit, their programs will be stopped and they will have to compensate the advertisers and their audiences for their paid services. Even if we are not successful in getting compensations from the, they will also be in trouble!” Wilson replied, confidently.
It’s hard to get compensation from the TV station as Wilson is suing the station on behalf of an individual, and not China’s Olympic team.
China’s Olympic team is satisfied after that TV commentator apologized and was fired. They don’t want to blow up this matter and affect the relationships between both nations.
Feng Yu could not change Ma Tao’s mind as this involves politics. He does not want to get involved.
“Ok. Go ahead. I want to see the results as soon as possible.” Feng Yu said.
Feng Yu hoped that Paul will also suffer losses along with the TV station. He is too arrogant!
……
3 days later, a lawsuit is reported and shook the whole nation. A Chinese national is suing XXX TV station for a discrimination comment against Chinese. He demands an apology from all the shareholders and 1 million USD compensations!
Racial discrimination and 1 million USD compensation are easily remembered by people. Even US President Clinton took note of this lawsuit. After all, he had attended the opening ceremony.
President Clinton did not expect this incident to be blown out of proportion and if the Chinese won the lawsuit, he would be affected as he had announced he wants to eliminate racial discrimination!
What is in the brains of the people in this TV station? Shit?!
Feng Yu got his men to spread the news of this case, and the whole nation is focusing on this case…
