Chapter 1463 1463【Return to Hong Kong! Cover the sky with one hand!】
Ocean-going luxury ships whistled on the sea.
In front of the pier, a group of motorcades were waiting eagerly.
The person at the head was the famous "boxing champion" Chen Huimin from Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, he was known as "Fist like Chen Huimin, feet like Bruce Lee".
Behind Chen Huimin was Shi Zhijian's other bodyguard in Hong Kong, Dasha. Behind Dasha were the four "prosperous and wealthy" servants of the Shi family.
Five luxury cars lined up neatly on the side of the pier. If Shi Zhijian hadn't told Chen Huimin on the phone to keep a low profile, the pier would have been filled with luxury cars and crowded with people at this moment.
Even so, Ruchu's luxurious motorcade still aroused the suspicion of many passengers that the big shot was about to arrive.
Chen Huimin looked at her watch and muttered: "It's almost time!"
Dasha came closer and said, "Did you remember the time wrongly?"
"It's not wrong. I remember the boss' return better than anyone else - I didn't sleep a wink last night!"
"That's true, I didn't even close my eyes! Haha!" Dasha had a silly smile on his face.
Chen Huimin knocked on his forehead: "You still have the nerve to laugh?"
"If you don't laugh, will you cry?"
"Mr. Shi has been out for so many years. He must have many new confidants around him. Maybe even the driver has changed a few times..."
"Brother Huimin, what do you mean-"
"I mean maybe we're going to lose our jobs!"
"No way, Mr. Shi is very good to me!" Dasha said, rubbing his head.
"Crazy thread!" Chen Huimin rolled her eyes at Dasha and then turned her gaze to the sea.
At this time, accompanied by the sound of the whistle, the luxury cruise ship slowly sailed towards the pier.
"Brother Huimin, look quickly to see if it's this one?" Dashu pointed at the big ship in front and asked.
Chen Huimin and the four servants looked towards the ship -——
"Yes, it's this one!" Chen Huimin immediately became excited.
Dasha was also happy: "I finally got to see Mr. Shi! When I see him, I will definitely tell him how much I miss him!" As he spoke, Dasha's eyes became moist.
"Big man, you actually - stay away from me!" Seeing that Dasha was about to shed tears, Chen Huimin pulled away in disgust, but she didn't know that his eye circles were already red at this time.
"Woo——"
The whistle sounded again.
Slowly, the luxury cruise ship docked.
Many tourists got off the boat.
Accompanied by Yan Xiong and Ax Jun, Shi Zhijian and his two wives Li Xuexuan and Xie Bingqian got off the cruise ship.
Shi Zhijian has a slicked back hair, a white suit and sunglasses, looking like a tycoon.
In addition, he looks handsome and has a strong and tall body, so it is easy to spot him at a glance.
Chen Huimin didn't care much and hurried forward to greet him: "Boss!"
Dasha also followed closely: "Mr. Shi! Brother Huimin, wait for me!"
Shi Zhijian saw Chen Huimin rushing towards him and said with a smile: "Be careful, the ground is slippery!"
Chen Huimin didn't care so much and hugged Shi Zhijian tightly: "Boss, I miss you so much! Woohoo!"
Dasha also came over and when he saw Chen Huimin hugging Shi Zhijian and crying, he couldn't help but said: "What are you doing? I just said you shouldn't cry, but you burst into tears!"
Chen Huimin turned around and scolded him: "You are a cold-blooded animal, you have no emotions! I am speaking out of my feelings! Don't you think so, boss?"
"Okay, okay! I feel inspired!" Shi Zhijian patted him on the back, asked Chen Huimin to stand up, pointed at Yan Xiong and Ax Jun and said, "I don't need to introduce them to you, right?"
"Of course, Detective Yan and Junzai, but these two beauties are-" Chen Huimin looked at Li Xuexuan and Xie Bingqian.
"Why, don't you recognize Miss Li?" Shi Zhijian joked.
"Of course I do! But the Miss Li I know has always been as cold as ice. How can she be as gentle and charming as this beauty?"
"You, you, have learned how to flatter me!" Shi Zhijian said with a smile.
Li Xuexuan felt very comfortable. After all, women don't like others to praise their beauty.
"As for this, this is Xie Bingqian, Miss Xie! They are both my wives!" Shi Zhijian said.
"It turns out to be the Fourth Madam and the Fifth Madam!" Chen Huimin looked frightened and hurriedly bowed to Li Xuexuan and Xie Bingqian.
Dasha could see clearly from the side, and he also hurriedly bowed to Li Xuexuan and Xie Bingqian and said: "Hello, Miss Li! Hello, Miss Xie! My name is Dasha! The big one is big, the fool is stupid
!”
"Okay, everyone, get on the bus first! I'm so tired after taking a boat ride!" Shi Zhijian greeted.
Everyone walked towards the luxury cars parked at the pier.
Yan Xiong and Ax Jun found a car and prepared to drive Shi Zhijian, but Chen Huimin said: "Of course I will drive you back to Hong Kong! You guys have a rest first!"
Yan Xiong wanted to retort, but Shi Zhijian smiled and said: "Okay, let him drive me! I haven't been in his car for a long time, and I don't know how good his driving skills are now?!"
"Don't worry, boss, I am fast and stable!" Chen Huimin went to drive happily.
Shi Zhijian held hands with Li Xuexuan and Xie Bingqian and got into Chen Huimin's car.
Yan Xiong muttered to Ax Jun from behind: "Jun Zai, maybe you will lose your job!"
Ax Jun glanced at Chen Huimin's car and complained to Yan Xiong: "So I think it's best not to come back!"
…
Shi Zhijian's motorcade slowly left the Wan Chai Pier.
People around him looked sideways, guessing which big shot this was.
When the convoy traveled about 500 meters and was about to turn on the roadside, the two cars in front blocked the convoy.
"What the hell? You are so bold that you dare to intercept Mr. Shi's car?" Yan Xiong was furious and asked Ax Jun to stop the car and push the door open.
What is Shi Zhijian's identity? He is a third-class Earl of the British Empire and a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong. Not to mention these, his identity as CEO of Shinhwa Group is enough to make him stand out. No one in Hong Kong dares to look down upon him.
The front door opened and a person got out of the car.
He is almost in his fifties, wearing a gray checkered suit, with eyebrows and dragon and phoenix eyes. He is short in stature, but he walks with wind!
"Why is it him?" Yan Xiong was stunned.
The other party is none other than Hong Kong's famous jewelry king - Zheng Yutong! Nicknamed "Shark Dantong"!
It is said that in 1946, Zheng Yutong took 20,000 yuan in cash to open a branch in Hong Kong and established Chow Tai Fook Bank. Zheng Yutong traveled to various gold, silver and jewelry stores in Hong Kong to collect the strengths of each store and used it to lead the operation of the branch.
The business in the store is very good.
At that time, gold shops were everywhere in Hong Kong, and competition was fierce. At that time, the quality of gold was all 99 gold, and Zheng Yutong also invested a lot of money to make 999 gold, taking the lead in creating a new process for gold jewelry manufacturing. At the same time,
It has also led the new trend in the consumer field. This investment has also laid a solid economic foundation for the future development of "Chow Tai Fook".
Zheng Yutong has strong market ability. Zheng Yutong pays close attention to the popular styles of international jewelry. During Zheng Yutong's careful observation, he found that many women like to wear diamond jewelry. However, Zheng Yutong has entered the diamond industry in the world's jewelry forest.
In 1956, the shareholders of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Store transferred all their shares to Zheng Yutong, and his father-in-law also handed over all the management rights to Zheng Yutong. In 1960, he changed the jewelry store to "Chow Tai Fook Co., Ltd." and distributed part of the shares to Zheng Yutong.
Distributed to those veteran employees who have worked hard for the company for many years, so that the benefits are linked to the employees, so that everyone will work harder to make money for the company. As a result, the company's profit reached 5 million that year.
Now in the 1970s, Zheng Yutong has become Hong Kong's largest diamond dealer, accounting for about 30% of Hong Kong's annual diamond volume.
Shi Zhijian was telling Xie Bingqian some cultural stories about Hong Kong in the car, especially those in Wan Chai. Suddenly he saw Zheng Yutong getting out of the car and said to the people around him: "I'll get off first!"
After saying that, he opened the door and jumped out of the car, walked over to Zheng Yutong, and asked straight to the point: "Brother Tong, are you here to pick up the boat for me?"
"Of course! You came all the way back from Thailand. As a friend, of course I want to see you!" Zheng Yutong greeted him with a smile.
The two shook hands cordially, completely like a pair of good friends.
Speaking of which, Shi Zhijian and Zheng Yutong have a pretty good relationship. At least they have cooperated in real estate.
Shi Zhijian's Shinhwa Real Estate and Zheng Yutong's New World Real Estate jointly developed properties in Repulse Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, and Tsuen Wan. They made a lot of money. It can be said that they cooperated happily.
In addition, the acquaintance between Shi Zhijian and Zheng Yutong is also very interesting. Shi Zhijian received a diamond from Lai Hao. His sister Shi Yufeng once used it as glass and wore it on her chest when she went to Bao'er School. She was treated as a fake and humiliated. It was Zheng Yutong.
At that time, he took the initiative to help out.
"I'll spare you a few minutes, go over there and say a few words!" Zheng Yutong pointed to a short distance away.
"Okay!" Shi Zhijian waved to Yan Xiong and others, asking them to wait where they were, while he followed Zheng Yutong to the coast.
There was a row of road railings in front of him. Shi Zhijian put his hands on the railings and looked down at the sea. Seagulls were circling in the sky and screaming along with the waves.
Zheng Yutong and Shi Zhijian stood side by side and said straight to the point: "Are you really going to enter the jewelry industry?"
"What, you think I'm joking? You know my character well, I always combine knowledge with action!" Shi Zhijian turned to look at Zheng Yutong's eyes: "Besides, in my opinion, I gave you a chance, as long as you allow us
Everyone can cooperate, but you have to kick me out!"
"In the face of absolute interests, there is no personal relationship! Besides, it is not my decision to kick you out, but the decision of the board of directors of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry!" Zheng Yutong looked at Shi Zhijian sharply and said, "But as a friend,
I still have something to tell you. The jewelry business is not that easy to do, and it is not something you can just play with as you think. You might lose all your money, or even be thrown out of business!"
When he said the word "attack the street", Zheng Yutong's tone was full of threats and warnings.
"I'm sorry, there has never been a word 'attack' in my dictionary. On the contrary, I have always believed - 'man can conquer nature'!" Shi Zhijian took out the cigarette case from his suit pocket and handed it to Zheng Yutong: "What's more, in my opinion
Come on, the jewelry business is nothing more than design, production and sales, it’s similar to other businesses, so what’s the difficulty?”
"Is there no difficulty?" Zheng Yutong smiled slightly, reached out and declined the cigarette offered by Shi Zhijian, and said: "I used to think that this business had no difficulty? But this business made me an apprentice at the age of fourteen, and I have been there until now.
I’m fifty years old and I still haven’t learned it yet! From now on, we can see how deep the water is here!”
"It doesn't matter how deep it is! You have a ladder to climb to heaven, and I have a ruler to measure the sky! No matter how deep the water is, I have to measure it!" Shi Zhishi said domineeringly, holding the cigarette in his mouth.
Zheng Yutong shook his head helplessly and said with a bitter smile: "It seems that I can't persuade you! Then I will just tell you some simple truths. Yes, your Shinhwa Group is very large and powerful, and the business involved is even more extensive.
!In terms of strength alone, My New World plus Chow Tai Fook may be slightly weaker than you in terms of total financial strength, but there is one thing you need to understand—"
Zheng Yutong's eyes flickered and he said with emphasis: "Your business is extensive, but it is too scattered! Shinhwa Real Estate, Shinhwa Electronics, Shinhwa Entertainment, Shinhwa Food, etc. This brings a big trouble, that is, funds
They cannot be united and cannot concentrate their forces to attack a place! But my New World Real Estate and Chow Tai Fook Jewelry can be combined to make them invincible!"
When Zheng Yutong said these words, his eyes were blazing and domineering, and the aura of a jewelry king burst out.
Shi Zhijian's expression changed, and he smiled and said: "Brother Tong, thank you for your kindness! I understand everything you said! Indeed, if I only bring out the jewelry business to compete with your century-old store, it will be difficult to win against you!
But don’t forget that in addition to strong funds, the jewelry business also needs a supply of goods and channels——”
When Shi Zhijian said this, he took out a lighter from his arms and lit the cigarette he was holding. He put the man back in his pocket and said with a smile to Zheng Yutong: "Nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing! Now that I have Thailand, a large source of rough jewelry, I
With sales channels as large as the UK, France and the United States, not to mention our Shinhwa Group’s business covering Asia, the United States and Europe, is it possible that we can’t sell the jewelry we produce and design?”
Zheng Yutong looked at Shi Zhijian, and finally sighed: "But have you overlooked one issue, that is the brand! Jewelry is equivalent to luxury goods, both require brand bonus! A diamond ring may be sold in the ordinary market.
Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars, but if you use our Chow Tai Fook jewelry brand, then it is not ten thousand, but one hundred thousand, one million! This is the value of the brand! I want to ask you, how can you go there in such a short period of time?
To build a well-known jewelry brand?”
"Why do you need to build a brand by yourself? Unlike you, I have never been an apprentice, and I don't have that stubborn brand plot. Any brand must be built by myself -" Shi Zhijian took a puff of cigarette and slowly
Spit out: "My principle is appropriationism! Gangster logic! Acquire those already well-known international brands, no matter how big or small, and grab them all for my use!"
Zheng Yutong trembled and his eyes flashed: "Do you really think so?"
"So what?" Shi Zhijian threw the cigarette he had only taken a few puffs on the ground, crushed it with his foot, looked directly at Zheng Yutong, and said domineeringly: "I don't mind telling you, your Chow Tai Fook is also included in my plan!"
"Uh, what do you mean?"
"I want Hong Kong's jewelry industry to be reshuffled! I, Shi Zhijian, can cover the sky with one hand!"
