After having lunch with Cao Weiqing, Li Guangyu returned to his office in Jiayi Building. He was waiting for Zhou Zhigang to report to him on the situation of discussing with the Chen family the construction of a factory in Pengcheng.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, Zhou Zhigang came to Li Guangyu's office and told Li Guangyu in detail the process of negotiating with the Chen family.
At 9:50 a.m. on October 13, Zhou Zhigang arrived at the Xinglin Group headquarters, ten minutes before the appointment with Chen Xinglin.
When Zhou Zhigang entered Xinglin Group, the administrative staff asked him: "Hello, sir, what can I do for you?"
Zhou Zhigang said: "Hello, I am Zhou Zhigang. I am here to visit your Chairman Chen. The time I agreed with him is ten o'clock."
"Please wait a moment, I will report to the superiors." After the administrative staff finished speaking, he made a phone call.
"Secretary Wu, Mr. Zhou Zhigang has agreed to meet with Chairman Chen at ten o'clock. Please report to Chairman Chen," the administrator said.
A voice came from the phone and said: "Chairman Chen has given instructions to take Mr. Zhou Zhigang directly to Chairman Chen's office when he arrives."
"Okay Secretary Wu, I will lead Zhou Sheng to Chairman Chen's office right now."
After hanging up the phone, the administrative staff said to Zhou Zhigang: "Sheng Zhou, please come with me. I will take you to Mr. Chen's office."
When Zhou Zhigang came to Chen Xinglin's office, he saw a man in his sixties who was thin but seemed to be very energetic.
Zhou Zhigang went out of his way to get to know Chen Xinglin. As the main raw material supplier of the Li Group, and having cooperated with Li Guangyu Hongyu Clothing Group for more than 20 years, Zhou Zhigang had to take it seriously.
After Chen Xinglin asked Zhou Zhigang to sit down, he told the administrative staff: "Amei, go make a pot of tea and come in."
"Okay, Mr. Chen." The administrative staff replied and then exited the office.
After the administrative staff left, Chen Xinglin said: "Mr. Zhou, I am very curious about your group. As a Japanese-controlled company, there has been no news about clothing production in the past. Can you tell me how you did it?
Are you thinking of entering this industry?”
Chen Xinglin didn't wait for Zhou Zhigang's answer and continued to ask: "You haven't even established a production company now. I would like to know how you were able to get orders from Hongyu Clothing Group and at the same time be sure to take over the business from Hongyu Clothing Group.
OEM contract with the American Ralph Lauren Group.”
Zhou Zhigang knew that Chen Xinglin had specially investigated the remarks he made during his communication and visit with him the day before yesterday. As long as there is a serious person, this matter cannot be hidden.
Zhou Zhigang said frankly: "Chen Sheng, our group is indeed a company controlled by a Japanese fund. Since you have already investigated us, I will not pretend to be confused with you. The owner of our group is Li Sheng. I used to
He has always been an employee of Hongyu Clothing Group."
Chen Xinglin guessed this result after investigating Zhou Zhigang. Zhou Zhigang visited Li Guangyu first when he came to Daoxiangjiang several times. This matter could be found out with a little attention.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Chen Xinglin said: "Come in."
I saw the administrative staff member just now walking in with a pot of tea. After pouring a cup for Zhou Zhigang, he put down the teapot and left.
Chen Xinglin said: "Zhou Sheng, we have been cooperating with Hongyu Garment Group for decades. Now Guangyu is planning to reduce production in Xiangjiang and jump to the mainland. But I am very confused by his operation.
.”
Zhou Zhigang said: "Sheng Chen, if you have any questions, you can ask them. If I can answer them, I will answer them."
Chen Xinglin raised his doubts to Zhou Zhigang. Since Li Guangyu was optimistic about the mainland, he would not build a factory in his own name, but would use a Japanese holding company instead.
Zhou Zhigang replied: "Chen Sheng, you also know that our Li Group has many industries in Baodao. If we enter the mainland with such a big fanfare, it will affect our development in Baodao."
Chen Xinglin himself has no worries about this. He has no business contact with Baodao.
Chen Xinglin asked: "Zhou Sheng, what does Guangyu think of the mainland? How are your discussions with Pengcheng going?"
Zhou Zhigang replied: "Sheng Chen, we Li Sheng are still very confident in that side. We have already injected 100 million yuan into our group, which is about 350 million Hong Kong dollars."
When Chen Xinglin heard that Li Guangyu directly invested more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars into Pengcheng, he became less hesitant about investing in Pengcheng.
Chen Xinglin said: "Zhou Sheng, our group has to consider whether to establish a supporting production company next to your group in Pengcheng. At the same time, I also need to communicate with Pengcheng before making a decision. I will send me next time
My son Chen Qiwu went to Pengcheng for inspection, and I hope you can take more care of me then."
"Sheng Chen, you're welcome. When Mr. Chen Qiwu arrives in Pengcheng, I will definitely receive him well and accompany him on the inspection." Zhou Zhigang replied.
Afterwards, Zhou Zhigang and Chen Xinglin chatted about some things in Pengcheng, and then said goodbye and left Xinglin Knitting Group.
After listening to Zhou Zhigang's report, Li Guangyu said: "It seems that Mr. Chen is interested in setting up a production company in mainland China."
Zhou Zhigang didn't quite understand why Li Guangyu was so sure, and asked: "Li Sheng, how are you sure?"
Li Guangyu said: "Nowadays, the two brothers of the Chen family are competing for the position of the heir to the head of the family. Mr. Chen is also exhausted mentally and physically. I have now provided him with a choice, and he is also prepared to do so."
Zhou Zhigang said: "Li Sheng, do you think that the reason why Mr. Chen Xinglin sent his second son to Pengcheng to inspect this time is to hand over the business there to Mr. Chen Qiwu, and in the future the property in Xiangjiang will be inherited by the eldest son."
Li Guangyu knew that many Xiangjiang families did this in their previous lives. The heirs of the family stayed in Xiangjiang to take charge of the companies in Xiangjiang, and sent other family members to the mainland to take charge of the companies there. Obviously Chen Xinglin was planning to do this this time. It seems that Chen Qiwu was the heir to the family.
Lost in the competition.
Li Guangyu said to Zhou Zhigang: "My father-in-law, Mr. Cao Wenjin, will also establish a production company next to our group, and the owner of this company is Ms. Li Cao Weiqing. You must take more care of the development of this company there."
After hearing this, Zhou Zhigang immediately replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will definitely pay more attention to the development of this company."
Zhou Zhigang couldn't care less. Obviously this company was given to his daughter by Li Guangyu's father-in-law. Naturally, he had to not take care of the boss's wife's company. Otherwise, if the boss's wife was dissatisfied in the future, how could he continue to rise.
Li Guangyu said: "Zhigang, the problems in Xiangjiang are almost solved now. You should hurry up and rush to Pengcheng to establish the company as soon as possible. Our Hongyu Clothing Group has almost completed the design of Feiyu clothing and shoes.
Yes, we are temporarily producing in Xiangjiang. Once our sales are good, the production capacity in Xiangjiang will be insufficient."
Zhou Zhigang also knew about this problem and immediately replied: "Don't worry, Li Sheng. I will go to Pengcheng tomorrow morning. I will set up the company as soon as possible and achieve production as soon as possible."
"Good Zhigang, let's do this." Li Guangyu said.
"Okay Li Sheng, I'll take my leave then." Zhou Zhigang left the office after finishing speaking.
