Chapter 232 Crisis Appears (7K chapters, please subscribe~)

  Jiahu Building, Chu Huan's office!

   Yasuo Kamakura and Zhong Zhichen sat across from Chu Huan, with anger in their expressions.

   "President, those distributors are really going too far. They want to increase the sales share, otherwise they decide to stop cooperating with us!"

   Yakuo Kamakura was in a very bad mood at this time. Just this morning, Yasuo Kamakura received a call from the Xiangjiang Distribution Association.

  In Xiangjiang, any industry has its own association or chamber of commerce. Textiles have textile associations, films have film associations, real estate has real estate associations, and so on.

  Even newspaper and magazine distributors in Xiangjiang have their own distribution associations.

  Chu Huan raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that when the sales of "Fantasy Comics" became the first in Xiangjiang's comics industry, Xiangjiang's distribution association would dare to jump out to make trouble for him at this time.

   "Is it Xiangjiang's distribution association, not a certain distributor?"

  Chu Huan was worried that Yasuo Shencang didn't understand the Cantonese he was speaking on the way out, so he confirmed with Zhong Zhichen again.

  Zhong Zhichen said with the same angry expression: "It's the distribution association, not a certain distributor. Those people seem to have made a special discussion."

  The distributors of Heung Kong are just like the associations of Heung Kong, there are different distributors according to different regions.

   "So, these people suddenly united without us knowing?"

After confirming that it was the distribution association that was picking on him, Chu Huan directly discovered the most critical problem. There are more than a dozen distributors under the distribution association. These people are not as united as they seem, and they often fight with each other. .

   Now they are suddenly united against "Fantasy Comics". If there is no one to unite them, Chu Huan will not believe anything.

  Zhong Zhichen deserves to be the person Chu Huan and Yasuo Kamakura are optimistic about at the same time. After hearing what Chu Huan said, he immediately had an idea.

   "President, do you mean that there is someone behind these people?"

  Chu Huan nodded, and said, "I can't think of any other reason besides this one!"

Zhong Zhichen said suspiciously: "But in Xiangjiang's publishing industry, who has such great energy? Even if they are envious of the sales of "Fantasy Comics", if no one connects with them, it is impossible With the result now."

   After a pause, Zhong Zhichen suddenly said, "Could it be Huang Yulang?"

  The biggest enemy of "Fantasy Comics" in Xiangjiang is Huang Yulang, and now only the distributors in Xiangjiang have asked for an increase in sales revenue. It can be said that only Xiangjiang people can do this!

Chu Huan didn't agree with Zhong Zhichen's idea, and said, "Huang Yulang doesn't have that much energy. Now the sales of a single issue of "Fantasy Comics" and the sales of individual comic books have surpassed Huang Yulang's comics. Will people offend us because of Huang Yulang?"

  Zhong Zhichen also had his own opinion, saying: "Huang Yulang doesn't need to pay anything, as long as he has a way to gather these people together, and then make this proposal, the money will move people's hearts, and I think those people will be tempted."

  Hearing Zhong Zhichen's analysis, Chu Huan also nodded slightly. It is indeed possible, but Chu Huan still thinks that Huang Yulang's level is not enough to facilitate this matter.

Yasuo Kamakura said anxiously: "President, we can find out who is behind the scenes in the future, but now there are only two days before the next issue of the magazine will be released. If we can't negotiate with these distributors If the conditions are met, the next issue of "Fantasy Comics" will not be listed in Xiangjiang!"

  For "Fantasy Comics", this is the top priority that needs to be resolved now.

   "If we don't know who the person behind is, then we need to guard against that person hiding in the dark forever. This feeling is very bad!"

  Chu Huan was not as anxious as Kamikura Yasuo and Zhong Zhichen.

   "By the way, how much do they ask for?"

   Yasuo Kamakura said angrily: "That's a group of greedy people, they want 40% of the sales!"

   "Hehe, it's really a lion with a big mouth!"

  At this time, Yasuo Kamakura and Zhong Zhichen both knew that this matter could only be decided by Chu Huan.

  40% of the sales share, just like what Chu Huan said, those people really opened their mouths!

   "I will handle this matter personally. You go to normal work first, and I will give you news the afternoon of the day after tomorrow!"

  The next issue of "Fantasy Comics" will be sold on the third day after two days!

  Seeing what Chu Huan said, Yasuo Kamakura and Zhong Zhichen could only express their understanding, and then they got up to leave.

  After they left, Chu Huan called Bao Tianming.

   "What are Yu Toubiao and She Ziming doing?" Chu Huan asked directly.

   "Every day I hang out with me and wait to die." Bao Tianming said lazily.

  Chu Huan felt that he should find something for Bao Tianming to do. In his current state, it is estimated that the **** has not been resolved yet, and others will be useless.

  But this matter can only be arranged later, Chu Huan has more important things to do now.

   "Their ability to follow people hasn't degraded, right?" Chu Huan asked.

   "Don't worry!" Bao Tianming said confidently: "The two of them have already perfected their ability to track people."

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "That's good, there are new jobs for them, let them follow those people from the distribution association these days, I want to see who they meet, especially during the party!"

Bao Tianming regained his energy immediately, and said directly: "Those people from the distribution association are bothering you? There is no need to let Yutou mark this matter. She Ziming and them will follow. I will take people to find them now, and I promise to let you They're honest."

  The distribution association in Xiangjiang is different from chambers of commerce in other industries, because the work interest of the distribution association determines that these people cannot be serious businessmen at all, and are more like the existence of association interests.

  But to say that they are a community, that would not be the case.

   It is a bit similar to the coolies in Xiangjiang in the 1950s and 1960s.

  When he was daring, he even dared to ask the big and small horses of "Oriental Daily" to increase the sales share.

   It is precisely because of their business methods that Bao Tianming said that he directly brought people to find them.

As for Bao Tianming's suggestion, Chu Huan refused: "No, this matter is a bit weird, but anyway, their actions are still within the scope of business. If they use the power of the association, it will ruin the business world." If you follow the rules, it will be very troublesome!"

  Any circle has its own unspoken rules. When you have not become the person qualified to customize the rules, it is best not to easily try to break the unspoken rules of this circle, otherwise you may be the one who gets hurt.

  As soon as Bao Tianming heard that he didn't need to go out by himself, his voice suddenly changed back to decadent: "Alright then, I'll let the two of them go there now."

  Chu Huan hung up the phone, but when Chu Huan was thinking about who would be behind the scenes, Xu Yi walked in.

   "Chairman, Mr. Li Xiaolong is here, he seems to be in a hurry!"

  Chu Huan frowned slightly. At this time, Li Xiaolong should be filming in Qingshan Temple. Why did he come here suddenly at this time, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

"what happened?"

  After Li Xiaolong came in, Chu Huan saw that the expression on Li Xiaolong's face was not very good, so he knew that his premonition should have come true.

   Sure enough, Li Xiaolong also brought himself bad news.

   "Those Hollywood people don't follow the rules!" Li Xiaolong said directly.

  Chu Huan did not answer, waiting for Li Xiaolong's next narration.

   "Andrew Morgan found me today and said that if I want to continue to cooperate with Warner in my films in the future, then I can't have black and white image funds to intervene again!"

  Fantasy comics, black and white images have problems at the same time?

   Is this a coincidence, or was it intentional?

  Chu Huan suddenly felt that an inexplicable palm was slowly covering him somewhere at this moment.

   "Is this why you came here?" Although Chu Huan had some guesses in her heart, there was no expression on her face, and she even smiled.

Seeing Chu Huan's expression, Li Xiaolong said incomprehensibly, "Why are you so calm? I was so angry that I had a fight with Andrew Morgan just now, and I have clearly told him that if there is no funding for black and white images to intervene , I will not sign a contract with Warner, and they are not the only company in Hollywood!"

  Chu Huan smiled and said, "I think the other party must have not promised you?"

  Li Xiaolong said angrily: "I don't care whether he agrees or not. Anyway, I have already decided. If they really don't allow black and white images in the next movie, then I will change to another company!"

  Chu Huan got up, went to the wine cabinet, and poured Li Xiaolong a glass of Coke. Li Xiaolong usually doesn't drink alcohol. The last time he had a drink with Chu Huan and Gu Long, it was rare.

"Look, hasn't this matter been resolved by you? Brother Long, don't worry, Hollywood has always followed the principle of money first. As long as your movie sells money in North America, then they will definitely Do things according to your ideas, and now Andrew Morgan, the reason why he dares to tell you this is because you have not really proved yourself in Hollywood."

Li Xiaolong took the Coke in Chu Huan's hand, "I understand what you mean, but this Andrew Morgan shouldn't have any conflicts with you, didn't you have a good chat at the opening ceremony before? Why did you suddenly turn your face and deny anyone?" Woolen cloth?"

  Chu Huan said with deep eyes: "Maybe someone told him something? After all, my joining has shared the profits that should belong to them!"

  Li Xiaolong stood up suddenly, and looked at Chu Huan with a complicated expression: "You mean, Mr. Zou is in the middle?"

  Chu Huan shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but I can be sure that someone must have done something here."

   After a pause, Chu Huan said, "But I think it's unlikely that Zou Wenhuai is responsible. After all, if something like this happens now, both you and I will think that the other party did it."

  When Li Xiaolong heard Chu Huan's analysis, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It would be best if it wasn't Mr. Zou!"

  Chu Huan chuckled, and said, "I didn't say that it must not be Zou Wenhuai, I just said that the possibility of him doing this is not high, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. After all, he wasn't very happy with my cooperation some time ago!"

  Li Xiaolong knew that what Chu Huan was talking about was the previous cooperation between Chu Huan and Zou Wenhuai.

   As for this matter, it is the commercial behavior of the two companies, and Li Xiaolong does not want to participate in it.

But now this matter is different. Let Chu Huan’s black-and-white images invest in his Hollywood movies. Li Xiaolong promised Chu Huan a long time ago. Here it is.

   "Then what do you think about this matter now?"

   Li Xiaolong asked.

Chu Huan smiled, "Don't worry, since the other party said that it's the next movie, it's still a few months away from now, and you also said that if the other party doesn't agree, then you won't cooperate with them. What else is there to worry about!"

  Li Xiaolong sat down again, still a little uneasy and said: "I'm just worried about why the other party suddenly changed his mind!"

Chu Huan comforted with a smile: "There is always a reason, and we can always find this reason. What about you, don't think about these things, and go to make your own movie with peace of mind. I will naturally take care of all the rest. It will be resolved."

  Li Xiaolong could only nod helplessly and said: "Okay, I understand, but don't worry, A Huan, I said that we will advance and retreat together in Hollywood, that is, we will advance and retreat together!"

  Chu Huan laughed and said, "Of course I know!"

   After chatting with Chu Huan, Li Xiaolong left with a trace of anger.

  In the underground parking lot of Jiahu Building, Ding Pei was waiting for Li Xiaolong.

  Seeing Li Xiaolong getting into the car, Ding Pei asked with concern: "Did you tell Shao Huan about the matter?"

  Li Xiaolong nodded: "Say, A Huan said, he will solve it."

  Ding Pei heaved a sigh of relief, comforted Li Xiaolong and said, "Since Mr. Huan has said that he can solve it, he can definitely solve it. I have been in Xiangjiang for the past few years, and I haven't seen anything that Mr. Huan can't solve!"

  Li Xiaolong thought for a while, then smiled, and said: "It is indeed so."

  Ding Pei suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, did you tell Huan Shao that Warner wants to sign a contract with you next month?"

  Andrew Morgan found Li Xiaolong with two things. The first one was about Chu Huan’s black and white images, and the second one was about signing a contract with Li Xiaolong.

The contract signed by the two parties is definitely not an artist contract, but a contract for cooperation between the two parties, similar to the contract of the later Tom Cruise. The two parties signed an agreement to cooperate in several films. During this period, Li Xiaolong's films released in North America are all in cooperation with Warner investment and such.

Li Xiaolong shook his head and said: "I don't think A Huan's interest is too high today. Managing such a big company must have a lot of troubles, so I didn't tell him. Besides, I have already decided that if Warner's side If you don't change your tone, you won't cooperate with them, so it doesn't matter whether you tell Ah Huan about this matter!"

   Ding Pei looked at Li Xiaolong with some admiration. On the big screen, Li Xiaolong was so radiant, but what Ding Pei admired even more was Li Xiaolong's loyal and heroic character.

   So charming!

  In the office, Chu Huan stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the Central Ring of Xiangjiang. The whole thing was a building, and the Jiahu Building was still too short.

   Just when Chu Huan was standing there lamenting that the Jiahu Building was too short, Xu Yi walked into Chu Huan's office again with a complicated look on his face.

   "Chairman, General Manager Luo is here!"

   "Come in, please!"

  Chu Huan returned to his seat, and he didn't know whether Luo Jichang's arrival would be as he thought.

  Just looking at Luo Jichang's complicated expression, Chu Huan knew that what he brought must not be good news.

   "Tell me, what happened?"

  At this time, Chu Huan felt as if he had the ability to predict the future.

  Luo Jichang didn't have the heart to guess what Chu Huan was thinking, but he still asked in surprise, "Young Master Huan, how did you know?"

I knew it!

  Chu Huan showed a coldness between his eyebrows. If it can be explained by coincidence that black and white images and fantasy comics happened at the same time before, now adding Jiahu Textile, it is absolutely impossible to be a coincidence.

"whats the matter!"

   "I just got the news that Jinxiu Textile has suddenly mastered the air spinning technology of denim for some reason, and is now preparing to compete with us for customers!"

  Luo Jichang's worried sermon.

  Splendid Textile is also ranked in the top ten of Xiangjiang's textile industry, but the ranking is low, and it is usually very low-key, but unexpectedly, it suddenly becomes high-profile now.

Although Chu Huan has decided to let Jiahu Textile transform slowly in the future, this transformation process must be long, and the air spinning technology of denim is the most important pillar in the transformation process of Jiahu Textile. He was overtaken by Jinxiu Textile on a curve, and came to the same level as himself.

   "Have you heard any news about their company's research and development of denim air spinning technology?"

   Chu Huan asked aloud.

  Luo Jichang shook his head and said, "No, Splendid Textile's previous customers were mostly in Africa and South America, and rarely set foot in the European and American markets."

   After listening to it, Chu Huan understood, "So there is a possibility that the company has an insider!"

  Luo Jichang thought for a while, and then said: "It doesn't have to be our company, it may also be Nanhai Textile."

  The textile factory of the Tang Jiqian family is Nanhai Textile.

  Hehe, if there were no fantasy comics and black and white images, Chu Huan would also think that there might be an inner ghost in Nanhai Textile, but now?

  Chu Huan has already figured it out, someone must be targeting him, and the perpetrator is probably not a person, but a gang.

  After all, if it is just one person, it is impossible to shoot black and white images, Jiahu Textile, and fantasy comics at the same time. There are not many people in Xiangjiang who can do this kind of thing at the same time.

  Just who are these people hiding behind?

  Chu Huan still needs to dig a little bit.

  Chu Huan did not entangle Luo Jichang about this matter, but analyzed: "Since the other party was doing business in South America and Africa before, then they don't have our advantages in the European and American markets, unless"

   Speaking of this, Chu Huan's face changed slightly, and he said to Luo Jichang: "Immediately start our overseas relationship, I want to know the price negotiated between Jinxiu Textile and European and American merchants!"

At this time, Luo Jichang also understood what Chu Huan meant. Jinxiu Textile did not have many customers in the European and American markets. Shanghai Textile is just standing on the same starting line.

  But even if they are on the same starting line, the treatment of both parties is different, because the previous customers of Jiahu Textile are customers in the European and American markets, so the runway of Jiahu Textile is much shorter than that of Jinxiu Textile.

   If Splendid Textile wants to overtake another car on a curve, more conditions are needed.

   Now it seems that the only way to help them complete corner overtaking is to compete with Jiahu Textile on price.

   "In addition, pay more attention to the situation of the factory during this time. Regardless of whether there are ghosts in Nanhai Textile, the first thing we need to do is to check our own situation!"

  Luo Jichang continued to nod, "Chairman, I'm going to call our customers in the European and American markets now, and try to get some news from them!"

  Chu Huan nodded slightly.

  Luo Jichang walked out of Chu Huan's office.

Now, three of my business on the bright side, Jiahu Textile, Huhua Real Estate, Black and White Video, and Fantasy Comic have been targeted, so will the next last company, Huhua Real Estate, also be targeted? ?

  With such a mood, Chu Huan was waiting for the news from Huhua Real Estate, while thinking about how to deal with the problems encountered by the three companies.

  The most important thing is how to solve these problems.

   Confused!

  Although Chu Huan opposed Kamakura Yasuo and Li Xiaolong's speculation before, but now, Huang Yulang and Jiahe are still one of the most suspicious characters.

  Before, Chu Huan thought it was an individual's commercial revenge on himself, but now, it is not an individual's behavior, but a gang's behavior.

  Then Huang Yulang and Zou Wenhuai are likely to be members of this gang.

   But who brought them together?

   "Whether it's them or not, there must be a very powerful person behind this incident!"

  Chu Huan analyzed silently.

Chu Huan didn't wait for the news from Huhua Real Estate until after get off work in the afternoon. I don't know if the gang hasn't found a way to deal with Huhua Real Estate, or Huhua Real Estate has nothing to worry about. Hands-on value?

  Chu Huan doesn't think they haven't thought about targeting Huhua Real Estate. Since they have chosen to attack themselves and directly covered black and white images, fantasy comics, and Jiahu Textile, they have no chance of letting Huhua Real Estate go.

  With such thoughts in mind, Chu Huan left Jiahu Textile and came to a quiet villa in Repulse Bay.

   Entering the gate, the first thing that catches the eye is a piece of green grass, with some trees planted in a patchwork pattern on both sides, which well hides the situation in the villa and provides a better privacy for the owner.

  Come to the parking lot, there are three cars parked here, a red Toyota 2000GT, a dark blue BMW, a black Volkswagen, and now Chu Huan's silver Mercedes is also parked here.

   Walking out of the parking lot, it is a three-story villa with a slightly European-style appearance. The white building gives people a sense of refinement, although not luxurious.

  The door of the villa is open, and facing the door is a spacious staircase leading directly to the upstairs. The staircase divides the hall of the villa into two, with the living room on the left and the kitchen and dining room on the right.

  Chu Huan went straight into the living room on the left, and saw Cao Yunshang wearing a loose T-shirt, sitting cross-legged on the sofa with smooth and tight long legs, holding the latest issue of "Fantasy Comics" in Cao Yunshang's hand.

   Seeing Chu Huan come back, Cao Yunshang got up on the sofa, came to Chu Huan's side, took the coat from Chu Huan's hand and put it on the hanger.

   "How is it, are you satisfied with this place?"

   Chu Huan asked with a smile.

   This villa was bought by Chu Huan to live in. The renovation was completed last month. After hanging out for a while, Chu Huan moved in two days ago.

   And Cao Yunshang is also enjoying the treatment of a hostess here these days.

   "It's good, but sometimes it feels a little empty." Cao Yunshang said with a smile.

   "Then hire a few servants." Chu Huan said.

  Cao Yunshang shook his head and said: "No need, I think this is very good. It would be better if there are outsiders here, just the two of us!"

  Chu Huan chuckled. He didn't like too many people in the house, which made it a little messy. As for the sanitation of the villa, it would be nice if someone would come to clean it regularly.

   "By the way, I just learned a few small dishes. Come and wash your face and hands first, and then come and try it!"

  Cao Yunshang preached happily.

  Chu Huan glanced at the "Fantasy Comics" in Cao Yunshang's hand and said with a smile: "You must have learned from Xiao Wukong, right?"

  Cao Yunshang gave Chu Huan a coquettish look, and walked to the side of the kitchen.

  Chu Huan smiled and went to wash up.

  When Chu Huan came to the kitchen, he saw Cao Yunshang cooking in a hurry. Simple cooking of noodles and steamed rice was fine for Cao Yunshang, but if it involved high-end cooking skills such as cooking and soup, Cao Yunshang would be blind.

   "Don't worry about it, the whole kitchen is mine today!"

   Seeing Chu Huan coming in, Cao Yunshang immediately preached.

  Chu Huan asked with a smile: "That is to say, I don't need to take care of the cleaning and rinsing?"

  Cao Yunshang gave Chu Huan a blank look, and said, "It seems that you have taken care of me before!"

  Chu Huan laughed, went to the refrigerator, took out a can of Coke, and enjoyed Cao Yunshang's cooking skills.

   It didn't take long for Cao Yunshang's first dish, tomato scrambled eggs, to come up. "Try it!"

  Looking at Cao Yunshang's eyes full of hope, Chu Huan asked tentatively, "Have you tasted it yourself before?"

  Cao Yunshang said firmly: "Of course I have tasted it!"

   "I've been here just now!" Chu Huan said quietly.

   "I don't care, you have to try it!" Cao Yunshang showed his true qualities as a savage girlfriend, holding a spatula and shouting to Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of egg!

   "It's surprisingly good!" Chu Huan gave Cao Yunshang a thumbs up.

   "That's it!" Cao Yunshang immediately said proudly.

   After eating, the two sat on the sofa, chatting while watching TV.

  Cao Yunshang said: "Why do I feel that something is wrong with your aura today? Is something wrong?"

  Chu Huan did not hide anything, and told Cao Yunshang what happened today.

  Cao Yunshang also analyzed the answer similar to Chu Huan's after listening, but Cao Yunshang was also at a loss as to who was behind the scenes.

  Finally, Cao Yunshang said: "I think since that person has put in so much effort, he will definitely appear later!"

  Chu Huan slightly raised his forehead and said, "I think so too."

  Next day, morning!

  Chu Huan was sitting at the dining table, ready to have breakfast, and naturally Cao Yunshang was sitting next to him.

   Two people each have a bowl of gruel, some side dishes, and a newspaper.

   But when the two saw the content in the newspaper, their faces changed!

   Not today, the next chapter will be at twelve o’clock tomorrow morning~Thank you everyone~
