At the Grand Jiangnan Hotel, the domestic jewelry enterprise exhibition is in progress. A group of people in the industry are gathering in front of the door to wait for the organizer and sponsor of the exhibition, Xiao Luoyan, the executive president of Fude Hall. The Maybach parked in the parking lot in front of the Grand Jiangnan gate. Surprisingly,
Unexpectedly, Xiao Luoyan stepped out of the car from the driving position.
Li Huqiu was lying lazily in the car, and Xiao Luoyan went over to open the door for him with a smile. Huqiu, who was dusty from all the work, dressed in casual clothes, and had a wicked smile, in the eyes of this group of mortal bosses, he looked like nothing.
It is not like Mr. Xiao, the Ford Hall, who is qualified to be the driver of the car and is known as the most beautiful person in the Southeast together with Xie Fuyun.
In the midst of shock and suspicion, the energetic leader of the Liberty Society was reluctantly pulled out of the car by Mr. Xiao. He raised his head and glanced at the crowd waiting on the steps, but saw that there were many well-dressed people gathered in the canopy. Huqiu only looked at these people.
With a look in his eyes, he was quite self-aware and thought that most of these people were thinking, hey, which onion is this bastard? If it is Mr. Xiao's man, then he is really a flower planted there.
In fact, Huqiu expected it to be right. There were many people in the waiting crowd who had this idea. They were all wondering who Li Huqiu was, that he could actually make Xiao Luoyan, who was rumored to be from the Xiao family in the military, and who was always known for his purity and purity.
Such accommodation. What's more, there is already a young businessman who dislikes Li Huqiu. If he were not worried about being rude in front of a beautiful woman, he would have rushed over and punched and kicked Huqiu at this moment.
Xiao Luoyan and Huqiu walked up the steps hand in hand, and the relationship between the two was obvious. A young and dignified man came forward and said: "Mr. Xiao arrived late, and we thought we wouldn't be able to feast our eyes on you today.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a date with a beautiful woman, but I don’t know what the relationship between this young talent and Mr. Xiao is."[
"My husband." Xiao Luoyan answered quickly.
Hearing this, the young man couldn't control himself. His expression changed and he asked, "When did Mr. Xiao get married?"
"We got married one year after graduating from college." Xiao Luoyan held Huqiu's arm and said, "My husband's surname is Li, and his name is Li Huqiu." Then he said to Huqiu, "This is a famous jewelry shop in China.
Mr. Zhou Wenxuan, the CEO of Shitouji Group."
Zhou Wenxuan concentrated his mind, stabilized his emotions, shook hands with Huqiu and said: "I, Zhou Wenxuan, a native of Quancheng, Shandong Province, Xiao Shi Shi Ji, mainly engaged in the business of gold mines and gemstone raw materials, Mr. Li is lucky enough to marry someone like Mr. Xiao.
He must be an extraordinary person, but I wonder in what line of business do you make your fortune?" As he spoke, he used the greatest strength on his hands. He was a weightlifter and once worked as a miner, and he has always been quite confident in his hand strength.
.
Zhou Wenxuan was originally a gangster. In the early 1990s, state-owned enterprises were reformed and reorganized, and part of the old mines in Qilu Gold Mine were jointly developed by the public and private sectors. Zhou Wenxuan was only in his early twenties at that time.
With his reputation and clever mind, he borrowed money from the bank and jumped into the feast. After these years of plundering, he finally became the owner of the largest private gold mining enterprise in Shandong Province and even in the country. Now he has become a leader in the gold, silver and jewelry industry.
The number one raw material supplier in China.
When he was in Lu Province, he used his wealth to collude with the government and raise thugs. He was used to being domineering. This time he came to Hangzhou to participate in the gold and silver jewelry exhibition. When he met Xiao Luoyan for the first time, he was immediately shocked and fell in love with him at first sight. He was fascinated.
He was fascinated. Xiao Luoyan was well-known in the industry, but people in the industry knew very little about his family situation. Zhou Wenxuan always thought that Xiao Luoyan, who had a charming and innocent temperament, was single. He had long regarded Xiao Luoyan in his heart.
The perfect candidate to be Mrs. Zhengyin. In order to win the beauty, he not only strongly supported Xiao Luoyan in the establishment of the Jewelry Industry Federation, but had even made mental preparations for divorce when he returned home. But unexpectedly, a husband suddenly appeared today
Come on. How can you not make him furious?
Li Huqiu didn't know the details, but he was well versed in people's feelings. From this brief contact, he could tell that Zhou Wenxuan was domineering and had designs on his wife. The thief king allowed Zhou Wenxuan to squeeze his hand hard, and waited until his strength weakened.
At that moment, he suddenly held Zhou Wenxuan's hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou is not only doing well in business, but the strength of his hands is also extraordinary." As he said that, he shook his hands slightly. It didn't seem to be much, but it was.
Zhou Wenxuan trembled all over, fell down and sat on the ground on the spot.
Zhou Wenxuan's face immediately turned red. Xiao Luoyan was about to say a few words to smooth things over, but Huqiu held his little hand and stopped him from speaking. There was a person beside him who had already helped Zhou Wenxuan up first. He was about forty years old and tall.
He had a short neck, a round head like a basketball, and dark skin. He neither smiled nor spoke, and said with joy on his face: "The ground in the south of the Yangtze River is so slippery that even people like Mr. Zhou have to fall.
You have to see the ground clearly before you walk, get up quickly, get up quickly." The implication seemed to remind Zhou Wenxuan that the strong dragon should not overwhelm the local snake, and first understand the situation before taking action. Although Zhou Wenxuan is ferocious, he is not
The unwise man actually calmed down after hearing this.
Compared with the lively product exhibition, the establishment of the industry federation seemed much deserted. Domestic jewelry business owners responded indifferently to the matter. When these people first heard about the matter, they were thinking: everyone is doing their own thing, why must they be so certain?
What kind of federation should we set up? We also need to formulate a bunch of rules and regulations to restrict everyone's business behavior. Isn't this unnecessary? As for the proposal of Mr. Xiao, the handsome and appetizing man of Fude Hall, only a few people have responded so far. There are many opponents.
There are many, and the most fierce one among them is Ruan Dingbang, the CEO of Yu Linglong Group from the Yunnan and Myanmar regions.
Li Huqiu looked at it with a smile and asked: "Who is this man?"
Luo Yan introduced: "This is Chairman Ruan Dingbang of Yu Linglong Group from Dian Province."
Li Huqiu said he was happy to meet you, and said with a wicked smile: "One look at Chairman Ruan's appearance and I know that you are a person who is not easy to fall."
Ruan Dingbang had a smile on his face, stared at Huqiu with his big eyes and asked: "Where did Mr. Li start talking about this?"
Li Huqiu said: "Because your base is low." He laughed wildly as he spoke.
Xiao Luoyan pinched this guy hard on the arm, deliberately glanced at the time, and then said: "It's all my fault for being late. I kept you waiting for a long time. The meeting will be over later. Dajiangnan will prepare a small amount of wine to entertain you. Then I will first
I will punish myself with three glasses of wine.”
Although Xiao Luoyan is a female prostitute, her status in the industry is not trivial. She is also very picturesque and lovable. A few words can liven up the scene. Even the anger on Zhou Wenxuan's face has reduced a bit. Only Ruan Dingbang is not sinister.
Yang said: "It depends on the outcome of the meeting. Mr. Xiao must understand that I am not waiting here just for a few glasses of wine."
Xiao Luoyan nodded and said, "Of course." He waved his hand and moved everyone inside, saying, "Please come in."
****
The meeting will be held in the large conference hall on the top floor of the hotel. Sitting in the open hall, you can have a panoramic view of the entire city. Li Huqiu sat behind Xiao Luoyan on the edge of the conference table, smiling as he looked at her and these wealthy people who had fought early.
Business owners who have made up their minds and will not agree to the establishment of any industrial federation are wasting their time.[
Xiao Luoyan's idea is a good one. Establishing an industry federation and standardizing industry standards can enhance the competitiveness and brand effect of domestic enterprises in the long run. Establishing an industry federation can also control the price trend of jewelry to a certain extent. The state
The open-door policy has been reversed. Seeing that foreign brands that focus on genuine goods, focus on quality, and are extremely competitive are about to come in. Before this cold wind blows in, let’s get these people together to keep warm. Formulate industry rules.
Merge small businesses that are not suitable for the future era, in order to preserve some traditional craftsmanship in the Chinese jewelry industry. This plan kills several birds with one stone and seems reasonable, but the only thing that is not in line with it is the national conditions.
Small business owners do not want the companies they have worked hard to create to be merged, and larger companies do not want their independent business methods to be affected. Generally speaking, they are greedy for immediate profits, and they are not willing to set any industry standards for themselves.
Constraints. Several more influential companies at the same level as Fude Hall want to control this federation in their own hands. There are also those who have reached cooperation agreements with overseas companies and are sitting here with ulterior motives and sabotage. In short,
Everyone has their own concerns, and we can't agree on anything.
A small business owner who speaks with a northwest accent and is good at making traditional gold and silver jewelry raised his hand and spoke, "The meaning of goose is very simple. The phoenix hairpin head of our old Pei family is a unique craft in the world. It has been around since the Tang Dynasty."
It is enshrined in the palace and passed down from generation to generation. The surname cannot be changed in the generation of Goose, so Goose will not agree to anyone's offer to buy it. The Pei family of Goose just put a flag on the tomb bag, which is also the surname.
Pei’s.”
Xiao Luoyan calmly signaled to his assistant to bring a brocade box, and after opening it, he took out two phoenix hairpins. One of them was made with exquisite workmanship, while the other one was slightly simpler in workmanship. Compared with the two, they were clearly superior.
Judgment. The business owner surnamed Pei smiled proudly, pointed at the former and said: "This looks like something from the geese family." Xiao Luoyan nodded and praised: "It is indeed a good thing that can be passed down from generation to generation, but I want to ask
Mr. Pei wants to make such a phoenix hairpin. How long does it take your craftsmen?" Mr. Pei said: "There is no fixed standard for this. It all depends on the skill of the craftsmanship. If Goose does it himself, it will take about three days.
"Xiao Luoyan nodded, raised another piece of craftsmanship and asked simply: "Mr. Pei, do you know how long it takes to make such a hairpin?" Mr. Pei shook his head and said, "That thing of yours looks like it came off an industrial assembly line.
The texture and appearance of the ground are incomparable to that of a goose.”
Xiao Luoyan smiled and said: "There are some comparisons! The hairpin I have is a new product specially made by the European Donnyhan Gold and Silver Jewelry Manufacturing Company for the Chinese market. It is estimated that the price of each one is equivalent to three times the price of your Pei family's crested hairpin.
1/2. Judging from the appearance, an expert can tell that there is a big difference between the two at a glance. But for laymen, they can see a huge price difference between the two at a glance. Why?
Is there such a big price difference? Firstly, it’s because your labor costs are too expensive, and secondly, they deliberately keep prices low in order to capture the market. Once traditional craft workshops like yours are squeezed out, they can naturally raise prices again.”
Mr. Pei lowered his head and said nothing, obviously thinking about Xiao Luoyan's words. Seeing that he seemed to be interested, Xiao Luoyan was about to say a few more words while the iron was hot. Ruan Dingbang interjected: "Mr. Xiao's example is too high."
Okay, this is one of the competitors we are going to face, and as far as I know, this Donny Khan jewelry manufacturing company is only a second-rate company in Europe. Compared with Tiffany in the United States, this company is simply tiny.
Like dust, when the country opens up the market in related industries, these excellent and powerful foreign companies will inevitably come in. However, companies like ours are either not famous enough or have backward technology. In short, their competitiveness is very different from others. Everyone here
Among all of you, there are only a few domestic industry giants with deep pockets who can compete with others. The rest may be like Mr. Xiao said, unable to withstand this industry winter, so my opinion is that we should not study how to do it now.
Instead of fighting against it, we should change our thinking and study how to cooperate with it.”
This guy has been talking like a traitor since the first day of the meeting. Xiao Luoyan frowned slightly. Just when he was about to retort, Zhou Wenxuan, who had always supported Xiao Luoyan before, suddenly took over the conversation and asked: "What Chairman Ruan said
It makes sense, but I don’t know what the conditions for cooperation offered by Tifulian are?”
Ruan Dingbang said: "The conditions offered by the Americans are very sincere. Take Lao Pei's Pei Family Phoenix Hairpin as an example. While buying it at a high price, the Americans are willing to keep the words 'Pei Family Phoenix Hairpin' as Tiffany gold jewelry."
A series of products, and at the same time, we will take over all the employees of the Peijia Feng Hairpin Tou Workshop, and we are more willing to provide a set of advanced process lines to help the Peijia expand the production scale."
Xiao Luoyan sneered and said: "It is indeed a good condition, but I wonder if Americans have ever thought about the brand value of the five words "Pei Jia Feng Chai Tou"? Since it is a cooperation, how will the profits be distributed? In what way did the Pei family interact with the Pei family?
Fulian cooperation? Who will manage the new company? "
Ruan Dingbang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The new company will naturally be managed by people assigned by Tifulian headquarters. As for the price of the five words Pei Jiafengchaitou, it will also be included in the purchase price. Since it is a full acquisition, it will naturally be
There is no question of profit distribution."
Xiao Luoyan glanced at the other small business owners here who were in a similar situation to the Pei family and each had their own unique skills and hundreds of years of fame, and said: "The conditions for our Fudetang Jewelry to you have already been received by everyone.
The letter of intent for cooperation states that first of all, we will retain your time-honored brands, provide you with relatively cheap and high-quality raw materials, and be responsible for the sales of Guanghe products of these time-honored brands. What you bring out are time-honored brands and craftsmanship, and I, Fudetang, take them.
What comes out is better channels and cheaper raw materials. We are a true cooperative relationship, and the profit distribution will be strictly implemented in accordance with the contract. This cooperation means that we each use our own advantageous resources to integrate them into one place.
, expand business scale and strength, and jointly compete with foreign brands."
It has always been difficult to establish an industry federation, and now that it has lost the support of Zhou Wenxuan, who has a very powerful voice in the industry, Xiao Luoyan has no confidence in this matter, so he has to settle for the next best thing, hoping to take this opportunity to gain more
If we can integrate several time-honored brands and convince the owners of these skilled time-honored brands to form a unique enterprise specializing in time-honored jewelry, in the future, the competitiveness of this enterprise will be no less than that of any multinational jewelry group. Now
The problem is that Xiao Luoyan cannot give these small business owners a purchase price that far exceeds the market valuation like Tifulian. She can only provide each company with a merger fee close to the market valuation and a relatively more reasonable cooperation agreement.
She has no idea whether we can achieve our goals through cooperation.
The conference hall fell into a brief silence. After a while, it was finally broken by Zhou Wenxuan's voice: "Everyone knows that I am in the raw material business. Everyone here is my food and clothing parent, and most of them are Zhou's friends. Since
As your friend, I think it is necessary to remind everyone here that one of the key issues discussed by Mr. Xiao and Chairman Ruan just now is that they both believe that after the successful integration of the new enterprise, the competitiveness will be strengthened. Due to the relatively concentrated orders,
The price of raw materials will also be reduced. I have communicated with Mr. Xiao before. To be honest, I recognized this at the time. But now, things have changed a little bit. I think Chairman Ruan
The plan is more reasonable, because if Chairman Ruan's plan is followed, due to the addition of foreign investors, I believe the scale of the new company after establishment is estimated to be much larger than what Mr. Xiao planned, and the raw material orders will also be larger. From the business perspective
From a human perspective, I agree more with Chairman Ruan’s proposal.”
Zhou Wenxuan is the largest raw material supplier in the country, and in this industry, his weight is very important. Xiao Luoyan was mentally prepared for such a change as early as the moment he was shaken by Li Huqiu. In fact,
She had long seen through Zhou Wenxuan's thoughts, and she would definitely not rely on lust to seduce him to gain his support and thus reach a cooperation intention. That's why she didn't care about Huqiu's troublesome behavior. Her own man took Zhou Wenxuan to
Being offended is equivalent to being offended by herself. Now that he has gone back on his word and openly stood up to make things difficult for her, she expected it. But in this way, this second purpose seems to be difficult to achieve. What he can do at the moment
It seems that the only thing left is to do everything and obey fate. Thinking that everything in the world is for the benefit, Luo Yan's confidence is getting smaller and smaller at this moment.
At this moment, Li Huqiu suddenly came to her side and asked with a smile: "Baby, can I say a few words?" This sentence, "baby," Huqiu only said it a few times in the most intimate moments between husband and wife.
It was the first time that he had broken the topic by calling him out like this. After hearing this, Xiao Luoyan couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart, and asked softly: "You bastard, you don't know how to do business, what do you have to say?"
Huqiu smiled slightly, "I don't know what business has to do with it. As long as I know how to spend money for my wife, that's enough. Fortunately, we are not short of this little money."
Liberty Society and Fude Tang have always been two financial institutions. Chen Lili wanted to merge Liberty Society and Fude Tang into one more than once, but Xiao Luoyan always insisted not to confuse the two. The reason was that she wanted to start an independent company
This is her own business, and at this point she wants to rely as little as possible on men. After annexing the Chen Tianhao brothers, the scale of the Free Society's industry is now too large. Compared with it, Fude Hall is barely half as powerful. The so-called cooperation is just
She was just managing the business for her husband, so how could she enjoy half of the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy of starting a business? Xiao Luoyan mistakenly thought that he was going to use the free society's money to hit these people, so he shook his head lightly. Huqiu told her with a smile: "Don't worry, this is
My son has nothing to do with the Free Society, isn’t it just raw material? It’s all left to my brother.”
