Chapter 311 Li & Fung’s Strength and Weakness (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

   In the complicated June, different people have different concerns!

  Those wealthy wives who have nothing to do every day and only think about how to spend their money have finally ushered in their spring. In the past, if they wanted to buy some luxury goods to show their status, they had to fly to Europe or Japan!

  It’s all right now, Xiangjiang has an Ella boutique, so that they can satisfy their crazy shopping ideas without going out of Xiangjiang.

  The students of the University of Hong Kong are concerned about the upcoming graduation ceremony in July. Now the school has started to build momentum, and will invite their most famous student of the 71st class, Chu Huan, to give a speech at the graduation ceremony.

   Chu Huan, who disappeared in front of Xiangjiang media for half a year, will appear in front of the public for the first time.

Comics, toy lovers, pay attention to the Toys R Us of Youth, which is about to start filming this month. Since "Fantasy Comics" announced that they will develop the peripherals of "Fantasy Comics", there has been news about Toys R Us of Youth It is mysterious, and no one knows how they will appear in front of the public.

   In addition, Li & Fung Toys has also advertised and obtained the right to manage Disney animation peripherals. It will sell the latest toys at the same time as Youth Toys R Us in June.

   There are also those who are looking forward to the new movie and the new album

   It was under such circumstances that a major event that could shake the entire rivers and lakes happened in Xiangjiang!

   And Liansheng's most promising young boss got a scumbag discount!

   Regarding the matter of taking scum and breaking it, the world is mostly ridiculed. In their view, taking scum is all done by themselves.

  Although no one knew what the reason was, he relied on the rich man Chu Huan and got a lot of decoration business from the company under Chu Huan's name.

But no matter what, with these two businesses in hand, it is just around the corner to become a rich man with scumbags. As a result, the hearts of the people are not enough, and the scumbags actually start the flour business, which is caught by the bad guys who urgently need to show themselves in front of ICAC. The opportunity is here for a pot.

   Not only did he sweep Nazha’s goods, but during the battle between the two sides, Nazha’s legs were broken, and he would have to sit in a wheelchair in Stanley for the rest of his life.

Just when everyone was salivating over the land left behind by Nazha, Mo Zai, Nazha's number one confidant, suddenly came out strong, and negotiated with the uncles of the club with the bargaining chip for the first phase of the decoration business in Huaye City. , and immediately got their support, Mo Zai successfully took over the position of Nazha and became a new generation of bosses!

  At the same time, another small thing happened in this matter.

  After graduating from the police school last year, a policeman named Ajie entered the police force, and suddenly he was promoted to a senior police officer!

   "This Ajie belongs to you, right?"

  In the villa on Bijia Mountain, Chu Huan asked Bao Tianming with a smile.

  Bao Tianming did not hide anything from Chu Huan, nodded and said: "Well, he is my younger brother, but he has a clean background, so I let him join the police force."

   Infernal Affairs!

  Chu Huan didn't care much and smiled, anyway, now that Bao Tianming has left the arena, it doesn't matter whether this Ajie is Bao Tianming's person or not.

   "Does anyone else know besides you?"

  Bao Tianming said: "The fish head and the snake boy know it, but the rest don't even know the skeleton!"

   "Then let him be a good messenger!" Chu Huan said calmly.

  If Bao Tianming was still in the club, Chu Huan would definitely let Bao Tianming keep this chess piece, but now that Bao Tianming is no longer a member of the club, keeping such a person would be a stain on him.

  Bao Tianming nodded and said, "I know, I've already explained it to him!"

   "Where is Mo Zai? Now the only shortcoming in the whole thing is him." Chu Huan asked.

  Bao Tianming's plan to get the **** was actually very simple. He bought off the confidant Mo Zai who was close to the slag.

   Then take the dregs and fold it!

   It has been a long time since Nazha plotted against Bao Tianming back then, and Bao Tianming is no longer a member of the club, so no one would think that the whole thing was arranged by Bao Tianming.

  However, there are also several hidden dangers, and the hidden dangers are Ajie and Mo Zai who participated in this matter.

  Ajie is now in the police force, and he doesn’t want people to know that he is involved in this matter even more than Bao Tianming, so Ajie will definitely not talk about it.

  But Mo Zai was different, he had grasped one of Bao Tianming's weaknesses.

  Bao Tianming smiled and said: "Don't worry, he will keep his mouth shut for the crime of betraying the boss!"

  Seeing that Bao Tianming is so confident, Chu Huan didn't say anything!

  He didn't understand the things in Jianghu as well as Bao Tianming.

  The matter of picking up scum did not divert Chu Huan's energy. Now Chu Huan is most concerned about the opening of Youth Toys R Us.

   "Newspapers, TV, radio, bus body advertisements, giant posters. It seems that this time Lifeng Toys really spent a lot of money!"

  Sitting in the chairman's office of Jiahu Building, Chu Huan watched Xu Yi's report on the situation of Lifeng Toys, and said with a smile.

  Since "The Big J Valve", Xiangjiang's companies seem to have been enlightened, and they have started to work **** publicity.

   "Lifeng Toys obviously wants to compete with the boss on this matter this time!"

  Xu Yi smiled and preached to Chu Huan.

  Compete with me? Are they qualified? Chu Huan said modestly: "Li & Fung Group can be regarded as a century-old company in Xiangjiang. When such a group really wants to do something, it still has a lot of energy."

  Xu Yi looked at Chu Huan in disbelief: "Boss, there are only two of us here, can you tell the truth?"

  Chu Huan's face darkened, he glared at Xu Yi, and said, "Why, isn't what I said right? If what I said is wrong, did Zhong Zhichen and the others get the bus company's body advertisement?"

Zhong Zhichen and the others also thought about advertising on the bodies of Kowloon Bus and Zhua Bus, but even these two companies that had already cooperated with Chu Huan politely rejected Zhong Zhichen, saying that they had already sold the body advertisements to Lifeng Toys.

  But in fact, according to the investigation team of Jiaku Consulting Company, the two parties did not sign a contract at that time.

  This is the connection of Li & Fung Group in Xiangjiang, not just related to Jian Yueqiang and others, as Feng Yongfa said, the relationship of Li & Fung Group in Xiangjiang is intricate.

  This is also one of the reasons why Chu Huan wants to make plans for Li & Fung Group.

  Xu Yi whispered: "Manager Zhong and the others have tried their best!"

   "There's no other way. After the acquisition, I can become my own boss!" Chu Huan said dissatisfiedly.

  Xu Yi looked at Chu Huan curiously, wondering whether Chu Huan's words were true or not.

  Chu Huan didn't care about these, and said: "Now Lifeng Toys has put its chips on the stage, and the rest is up to us."

   Talking about the situation on his side, Xu Yi immediately rejuvenated and said: "They are definitely not your opponents, boss!"

"hehe!"

  Feng Guojing is actually not in a good mood!

  Because he didn't investigate clearly what he wanted to investigate.

  Before, Feng Guojing took a car to the flagship store of Youth Toys in Causeway Bay, but it was blocked and he couldn't see the situation inside, so Feng Guojing wanted to find a decoration company to investigate.

   They found the decoration company, but the boss went in!

  Secretary Sally whispered: "Their boss probably won't be able to come out in a short time!"

   Nonsense, the flour business is still such a large quantity, don’t even think about it in this life.

  Feng Guojing thought helplessly.

  The news about the police arresting Nazha, a flour group, has been on the headlines of major newspapers in Xiangjiang and TV news during this period. It is difficult for Feng Guojing not to know.

  But he is still very dissatisfied with Sally's work efficiency: "If you can't find the boss, you can find their contractor. If it doesn't work, you can also find a design company. Don't you have any news?"

Sally could only continue to explain helplessly: "It was Cao Wenjin's eldest son Cao Yunzu who designed the design for Toys R Us. As for the contractors, we also looked for them, but the other party heard that they were inquiring about the decoration of Toys R Us. If the situation is serious, those people will immediately keep silent and say nothing!"

  Cao Yunzu will soon be Chu Huan's eldest brother-in-law, so it is naturally impossible to tell Feng Guojing the decoration style of Youth Toys R Us.

  Feng Guojing also sighed helplessly, but fortunately, it is only two days away from the opening. Whether he knows the decoration style of Toys R Us is just out of curiosity, not a particularly important thing.

  After thinking it over, Feng Guo asked Sally, "How's the feedback on the advertisement?"

Sally immediately showed a happy smile, and said: "I have contacted the store managers of various stores in the past two days, and the number of consumers around Disney animation has obviously increased. Everyone heard that we will launch new products on June 16th. , They all said that they would come to patronize that day!"

  Hearing what Sally said, Feng Guojing finally showed a smile on his face, which shows that their advertisement is still very useful.

   That's enough.

Sally saw the smile on Feng Guojing's face, thought for a while, and reminded in a low voice: "However, some consumers are still asking whether there will be "Fantasy Comics" peripherals in our toy store on that day. ?”

Sure enough, after hearing the news, the smile on Feng Guojing's face disappeared, but then he sighed helplessly. Although he had advertised in the whole city, the coverage area exceeded the advertisements around "Fantasy Comics", but Just the advertisements made by "Fantasy Comics" itself are more targeted, which is beyond their reach.

   "I see, as long as it can attract those who buy Disney animation peripherals!"

It is impossible to cover most of the commodities for everyone. The high-end restaurants are faced with wealthy businessmen in the city. They can eat the labor of ordinary people for three to four months for a meal, so those ordinary people in Xiangjiang are naturally not theirs. of consumer groups.

  The same is true of the boutique opened by Cao Yunshang. A watch in it costs hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, almost catching up with a villa in Xiangjiang. Naturally, their consumer groups cannot be ordinary people.

  The same is true for toys. Disney peripheral toys are consumed by those fans of Disney peripherals, and others may be very indifferent to such toys.

  So Feng Guojing is more concerned about whether he can attract these people to Lifeng Toys.

  Sally also understood this truth, so she didn't say anything.

  Looking at the time, thinking that he had an important date tonight, Feng Guojing said to Sally: "Okay, I have other things to do, go get busy!"

   After Sally left, Feng Guojing also put on his coat and left Feng's Building.

  Jade Club!

   As the two major bus companies in Hong Kong, KMB and China Bus, with the passage of the subsea tunnel, the competition between the two companies has become more and more fierce, but today the second generation representatives of these two companies are sitting together!

  Lei Juehua of KMB and Yan Jieqiang of CMB not only did not confront each other as outsiders thought, but joked and chatted with each other.

  Different from KMB, which often appears in Hong Kong entertainment, CMB appears much less frequently in Hong Kong entertainment.

  The founders of this company are two families, Yan Chengkun and Huang Wangcai, who are related by marriage.

  However, later the Huang family continued to sell shares in China-Pakistan, and the Yan family became the major shareholder of China-Pakistan.

  Yan Chengkun was born in Xiangjiang in 1905. He worked as a sedan chair bearer in his early years, and later made his fortune, owning a large number of sedan chairs and earning his first pot of gold.

  Huang Wangcai was engaged in the shipping business, traveling between Xiangjiang and the coastal ports of Guangdong Province.

  Both backgrounds are related to transportation.

  In 1930, Yan Chengkun, Huang Wangcai and others saw that the population of Xiangjiang City was increasing, various industries were prospering, and bus services were promising, so they jointly established Zhua Automobile Co., Ltd.

  Same as the Kowloon Bus, the Z Hua Bus was severely damaged during the war and rose again after the war. By the 1960s, Yan Chengkun had become a Chaozhou tycoon-level uncle.

   At the same time, he has also become a hot celebrity in the political and economic circles of Xiangjiang.

In 1955, he was appointed by the Governor of Hong Kong, Gregory Grant, as a member of the Legislative Council. In 1959, he was promoted to the highest power structure of the Hong Kong government - the Executive Council, and concurrently served as the chief member of the Legislative Council. important decision.

   During the period, Yan Chengkun was awarded the OBE and CBE by the Queen of England in 1955 and 1961.

  But Yan Chengkun also has his own problems. Yan Chengkun has always believed that the citizens of Xiangjiang need cheap bus services, so he stubbornly maintains the low-cost operation model of China-Pakistan and refuses to modernize China-Pakistan.

His increasingly conservative management policy has made CMB present an aging and dilapidated scene. The headquarters building over 40 years old is dilapidated and lacks repairs. Unabated!

But in any case, the two companies of KMB and CMB, which hold the lifeline of Xiangjiang's transportation, are still favored by the British government behind the Hong Kong government. The level is not high, so it is suggested to the Hong Kong government that the British United Overseas Transport Company and the two Yingzi companies in Hong Kong will jointly take over the two bus companies, otherwise the renewal of the two bus patent contracts will be suspended after the expiration of the two bus patent contracts in 1975.

  United Overseas Transportation Company is a subsidiary company of British Motor Traction Company. Its main business is to provide customers with public transportation management services, and its business scope includes Africa, Central and South America, India and parts of the Far East.

At that time, the general manager of United Overseas Company came to Hong Kong to negotiate with the person in charge of the two buses, and proposed to purchase or exchange shares to obtain 30% of CMB and 45% of KMB’s shares, hoping to participate in the bus business of Xiangjiang. Two Pakistani resolutely refused and gave up.

   But this matter did not go away like this. Now the Hong Kong government still has a voice, thinking that the two buses should give up their business.

   This matter made the Lei family and the Yan family suspend their business competition and stand together.

   "Ghosts will definitely not let it go. I received news that they are uniting more people and want to take over the management rights of our two bus companies!"

  Yan Jieqiang preached to Lei Juehua calmly.

  Lei Juehua nodded and said, "I've also heard the news. Do you know who the two British-funded companies in Xiangjiang are?"

  Yan Jieqiang sneered and said, "Landmark, Hehe International!"

  Lei Juehua nodded helplessly. In this era of Xiangjiang, anyone who knows that his business competitors are these two companies will feel a headache.

   "This time, the two of us must unite to keep the two companies, otherwise, maybe next year neither of us will be able to get the bus franchise!"

  Yan Jieqiang nodded and said, "This is the only way to go now!"

   "Two, I'm really sorry, the company is still late for some things!"

   At this time, Feng Guojing came to the deck.

  Among the three, Lei Juehua is the oldest, over fifty, Yan Jieqiang is the next, in his forties, and the youngest is Feng Guojing, who is 29 this year!

   "You two, I would like to thank you two for this matter. If it weren't for your support, I'm afraid I would lose to Chu Huan in this propaganda battle!"

  After sitting down, Feng Guojing smiled and thanked Lei Juehua and Yan Jieqiang.

  Lei Juehua smiled and said: "We are all businessmen from Guangdong Province, we should help those who should be helped!"

  Yan Jieqiang also smiled and said: "That's right, besides, this time, you Li & Fung Group were the first to find us, and you will support your Li & Fung Group both publically and privately!"

   "Thank you both!" Feng Guojing thanked again.

  Lei Juehua reminded: "However, Guojing, Chu Huan is not an ordinary businessman. No one knows what method he will use to deal with your propaganda war, so don't be careless!"

  Feng Guojing nodded and said: "I think so too, but now Xiangjiang's publicity channels have basically been used by our Lifeng Toys, I really can't think of what else Chu Huan can do!"

  Yan Jieqiang said: "I haven't had much contact with this Chu Huan, but I am very impressed. According to his previous behavior, he will either not do many things, as long as he does it, he will succeed!"

  Feng Guojing showed a helpless expression. He naturally knew about this, and some time ago, Lifeng and Chu Huan had played against each other for two rounds.

   In the first battle of raw material supply, Lifeng was completely defeated. In the second battle, the power struggle of Xiangjiang Toy General Chamber of Commerce was a draw.

   Now is their third battle!

   "Brother Lei, you are more familiar with Chu Huan than we are. What do you think he will do next?"

  Feng Guojing invited Lei Juehua and Yan Jieqiang tonight, firstly to thank them, and secondly to ask them about Chu Huan's situation.

After all, when Chu Huan's black and white images were promoting the movie "The Big J Valve", they cooperated with both of them, especially Lei's family. Four movie theaters at home!

Lei Juehua smiled helplessly and said: "You don't need to ask me about this matter. Everyone knows Chu Huan. He always likes to take the lead when doing business. To be honest, Chu Huan could think of letting our two bus companies It never occurred to us that the bus would come to promote his movie while it was passing through the undersea tunnel."

  Yan Jieqiang nodded and said, "That's true!"

Lei Juehua suggested to Feng Guojing: "Guojing, according to my opinion, your Toy City and Chu Huan's Toys R Us are both operating toys, but the content is completely different, and now they are both Xiangjiang. Members of the Toy General Chamber of Commerce, the best way is to turn hostility into friendship!"

   Outsiders don't know about the fact that the Feng family asked Jian Yueqiang and others to come forward to make peace.

  Feng Guojing said helplessly: "Brother Lei, you think we don't want to. Now it's Chu Huan who doesn't want to make peace, it's not that our Feng family doesn't want to make peace!"

   Facing Feng Guojing's words, Lei Juehua didn't really believe it. Chu Huan's Toys R Us was the first to announce its opening on the 16th of this month.

   However, Li & Fung Toys immediately announced that their Toy City will also put the latest toys around Disney animation on the same day.

   No matter how you look at it, Li & Fung Toys is competing with Youth Toys R Us for business.

   As for the previous conflicts between the two sides, Lei Juehua also understands a little bit, no matter how it develops in the middle, right?

   At the beginning, Lifeng Toys was indeed the first to sell imitation goods of "Fantasy Comics"!

   But knowing the right and wrong of things is to understand the right and wrong of things. The Lei family and the Feng family have known each other for many years, and they have a lot of business contacts. No matter what, this time they must stand in line with Lifeng Toys.

  Yan Jieqiang said from the side: "Guojing, our two families have some friendship with Chu Huan. If you need it, we can also come forward to be a middleman for you!"

  Lei Juehua nodded and said, "That's right!"

Feng Guojing thanked and said: "Thank you for your kindness. In fact, to tell you the truth, our Feng family has found some friends to give in to Chu Huan before, but Chu Huan didn't want to just let it go. So we have no choice. !"

  Lei Juehua and Yan Jieqiang looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

  Feng Guojing did not hide this matter at that time, and directly told the two of them about the Feng family's hiring of Jian Yueqiang, Tang Jiqian, Zhao Congyan, and Li Mingze.

  Yan Jieqiang said with some dissatisfaction: "If this is the case, this Chu Huan is a bit too domineering. Now that the Feng family has surrendered and there is no direct competition between the two sides, wouldn't it be better for everyone to let go of their prejudices and cooperate with each other?"

  Lei Juehua also shook his head, thinking that Chu Huan's behavior this time was a little too much.

Feng Guojing continued to speak helplessly: "Actually, Li & Fung has never thought about competing with Chu Huan. As the two of you said, since we no longer have direct competition, it is best to go our separate ways. development, but this Chu Huan may have been too successful before, so his personality is very strong, and now we can only hope that the other party can see the power of our Feng family, and then return to the negotiating table!"

  Lei Juehua nodded and said: "It is indeed a way to find opportunities for negotiation during the battle."

  Yan Jieqiang said: "But I think this time, Chu Huan will definitely be willing to talk to your Feng family!"

  Lei Juehua and Feng Guojing looked at Yan Jieqiang at the same time.

Yan Jieqiang smiled and said: "I have also paid attention to the sales of the imitation goods of "Fantasy Comics" before, and they are indeed very good, but the goods of Disney animation have more consumer base. As for whether Chu Huan will have new promotional methods , Sales tricks are just our guesses now, but it is undeniable that, as Guojing said just now, all the publicity channels that Xiangjiang can think of now have basically been taken up by Lifeng Toys of Guojing. Even if Huan wanted to do it, at most he would follow suit.

   At the end of the day, it's everyone's final sales.

It is impossible for Chu Huan to have trouble with money. I think the reason why Chu Huan has not agreed to reconcile with Lifeng Toys before is that it is more likely that he wants to fight for a greater right to speak in the future cooperation with you. I can't imagine why Chu Huan hasn't reconciled with you Lifeng Toys until now! "

  Lei Juehua had a different idea, and said: "What if Chu Huan's goal is the entire Li & Fung Group? Chu Huan has never been short of big moves!"

Yan Jieqiang firmly denied: "This is impossible, Li & Fung Group is not Jiahu Textile, nor Hang Lung Real Estate, both of you and I have a small amount of shares in Li & Fung Group, Guojing's shares in Li & Fung Group have exceeded 51% , plus the two of us, even if Chu Huan bought all the shares of Li & Fung Group that are in circulation in the market, it is impossible to control Li & Fung Group!"

  Lei Juehua nodded unconsciously.

  Feng Guojing smiled and said: "Since the matter is already like this, we can only take one step at a time!"

  Yan Jieqiang and Lei Juehua saw what Feng Guojing said, so they stopped talking.

  Time is slowly passing by, and soon June 15th will come!

After many inquiries, Feng Guojing still failed to find out what other tricks Chu Huan used to promote Toys R Us. Now it seems that everything seems to be as he predicted. There are no more novel tricks.

  Everything is a step-by-step propaganda.

  If this is the case, Feng Guojing is confident that this time, their Feng family will definitely gain the upper hand in their third fight with Chu Huan.

  Feng Hanzhu called Feng Guojing to his office, also concerned about this matter.

  Feng Guojing told Feng Hanzhu the results of his investigation and analysis, and Feng Hanzhu showed a satisfied smile after listening.

   "It seems that this time, we will have the upper hand!"

   No more today, thank you everyone, the next chapter will be at 12:00 tomorrow morning~~
