At this time, he was just a newcomer in the toy industry in Hong Kong, but his Rising Sun toys were anything but low-key in Hong Kong.
Just because Cai Zhiming’s Rising Sun Toys defeated established toy manufacturers such as Tianhua Toys and obtained the agency production rights for the North American national toy ‘Snoopy’!
Cai Zhiming, a native of Shenghai, came to Xiangjiang with his parents after the war. After graduating from high school, he did not apply for college, but joined a toy factory and worked as a salesman.
Because of his active mind and sharp tongue, his sales performance is booming.
In 1972, he decided to resign and found his own toy company. In the same year, he became an agent for the production of the famous "Snoopy" toys. Due to his excellent distribution strength, he once became the largest distributor of American toys in East Asia.
In another time and space, Cai Zhiming was known in the Hong Kong business community for his calm, wise, and resolute business style. Later, he became the honorary president of the Hong Kong Toy Manufacturers Association and was even called the King of Toys.
Rich businessmen in Xiangjiang will get involved in the real estate industry after they get rich, and Cai Zhiming is no exception. After making a fortune in the toy industry, Cai Zhiming set his sights on the real estate industry.
Later, during the financial tsunami of 1997, taking advantage of the trough in property prices, he spent 3.3 billion yuan to buy countless shops and apartments in Xiangjiang.
After 2000, the real estate market in Xiangjiang began to rise, and the value of the real estate held by Cai Zhiming rose sharply. It was conservatively estimated that the real estate he held in Xiangjiang at that time was worth 30 billion yuan.
At the same time, this person is also very playful and likes to collect famous watches, horse racing, and luxury cars. It is rumored that he personally owns dozens of world-class luxury cars!
Another little news, the wife of Cai Zhiming’s son is the sister of Zhen Wing Chun’s wife!
Cai Zhiming has just turned 27 this year, which is the best time to start a business.
Like other toy factories in Xiangjiang, Cai Zhiming discovered the commercial value of "Fantasy Comics" peripheral toys very early. He was also the first toy factory in Xiangjiang to start imitating "Fantasy Comics" peripheral toys.
Fantasy Comics also sued Rising Sun Toys for the largest amount of money.
30 million Hong Kong dollars!
Although "Fantasy Comics" has made Cai Zhiming a lot of money, but now at a time when Rising Sun Toys is vigorously expanding, Cai Zhiming does not have that much cash in his hands. If he is successfully sued by "Fantasy Comics", Cai Zhiming's
Rising Sun Toys will fall into economic crisis in an instant.
This is not something Cai Zhiming can bear now!
So he had to come to see Chu Huan, hoping that Chu Huan could let Rising Sun Toys go!
"Dr. Chu, it's a pleasure to meet you. It's a pleasure to meet you. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to pay a visit to Director Chu. Unfortunately, Director Chu is so busy that he waited until today to find the opportunity!"
After entering Chu Huan's office, Cai Zhiming kept his posture very low.
Chu Huan sat there without getting up, but just smiled and said: "Mr. Cai has become famous in the toy industry in Hong Kong in the past two years, and everyone knows about it."
Cai Zhiming laughed quickly and said: "Dr. Chu is too polite. In front of Director Chu, my matter is really not worthy of publicity."
Chu Huan nodded unceremoniously and said: "Mr. Cai is right, but some things in your company are really not on the table. I have heard Yasuo Kamikura say before that "Fantasy Comics" is clearly
After rejecting Mr. Cai’s request for cooperation, Mr. Cai turned around and produced peripheral toys for “Fantasy Comics”. Do you really think that we, “Fantasy Comics,” are easy to bully?”
As Chu Huan's painting style changed, Cai Zhiming's face immediately showed a panic expression: "Director Chu, our Xuri Toys really knew that we were wrong this time, please ask Director Chu to let our Xuri Toys go."
, just think of it for the sake of the jobs of the hundreds of good workers in our factory!"
Chu Huan's face darkened, "Cai Zhiming, are you threatening me with those workers?"
Cai Zhiming hurriedly explained: "I don't dare, I don't dare. Director Chu misunderstood. I just said something indiscriminately. I hope Director Chu won't take it to heart."
Chu Huan waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's leave this matter as it is. Mr. Cai should go back and prepare cash!"
Can Cai Zhiming leave?
He can't!
Otherwise, the Rising Sun toy behind him would be doomed.
"Director Chu, 30 million is really too much for our Rising Sun Toys. Even if you sue our factory to close down, you still won't be able to get so much money!"
Chu Huan looked at Cai Zhiming playfully: "Cai Zhiming, you are playing tricks on me!"
Cai Zhiming said: "Director Chu misunderstood, I didn't mean it like this, it's just that this is indeed my situation!"
Chu Huan said nonchalantly: "If this is the case, then Mr. Cai should be prepared to go bankrupt!"
At this point, Chu Huan looked at Cai Zhiming condescendingly and said: "To be honest, I don't care about 30 million, but if every factory that infringes "Fantasy Comics" says what Cai Zhiming said, wouldn't I want it all?
Let it go!”
Cai Zhiming's heart sank. He could tell that Chu Huan didn't seem to be joking, "Director Chu, our company also has a Transformers model production line and a "Dragon Ball" toy model production line. As long as Director Chu says a word, I will
Immediately sent it to Youth Toys Factory, hoping that Director Chu would let our Rising Sun Toys go.
Your family has a great cause, we are just making a small fuss, I just hope that Chairman Chu will be able to ignore the faults of villains and give us a chance!"
Chu Huan took back his impressive edge. Although Cai Zhiming was later regarded as the top rich man in Hong Kong, he is really nothing in Chu Huan's eyes now.
But Chu Huan is now biased against him, so naturally he has conditions.
What Chu Huan was interested in were the models and production lines of Cai Zhiming's Rising Sun Toys.
"Those two model production lines, plus the workers from these two production lines in your factory!" Chu Huan stated his conditions, "If Mr. Cai agrees, then 30 million can be reduced to 15 million, and at the same time,
Pay it off in one year!
By the way, those workers must be mature workers!"
Youth toys don’t lack money, people, or equipment.
But model production takes time, and talent training also takes time.
If we can get ready-made models and workers from Rising Sun Toys, although these are a drop in the bucket compared to the entire youth toy factory.
But it can still bring a lot of benefits to youth toys.
However, Cai Zhiming fell into silence at this time. Being able to start from scratch and create tens of billions of wealth in the future, Cai Zhiming is naturally an extremely smart person.
I immediately understood what Chu Huan meant!
If they agree to Chu Huan's request, Youth Toys will definitely have to leave all mature workers in their factory. This will definitely be a traumatic loss for Rising Sun Toys.
If they do not agree to Chu Huan's request, Rising Sun Toys will face prosecution and possible enforcement.
At that time, I may have nothing left!
In the end, Cai Zhiming can only choose the lesser of two evils!
He reluctantly agreed to Chu Huan's request.
Chu Huan smiled again and called Zhong Zhichen to ask him to contact Cai Zhiming.
After Cai Zhiming left, Xu Yi came to Chu Huan's office.
"Boss, Mr. Guo Bingxiang and Mr. Zheng Jiachun called you before and asked you not to forget the party with them tonight!"
Chu Huan was stunned for a moment and asked, "When did I agree to party with them?"
Xu Yi said: "At noon the day before yesterday, Mr. Guo called and said that you haven't seen each other since you came back from Taiwan. In addition, they also want to discuss things with you about Huaye City."
Chu Huan thought of this incident and said: "I know, you will call their office later and tell them about Huaye City and ask them to find Lu Qi and Bao Tianming!"
Xu Yi knew that Chu Huan was not going to go to the appointment tonight, so he smiled and nodded: "I understand."
After looking at the time, it was almost time to get off work. Chu Huan directly told Xu Yi to get off work. From now on, if anyone calls him again, he will say he doesn't know.
After leaving Jiahu Building, Chu Huan did not return directly to the villa in Repulse Bay, but went to "True News".
The car arrived at the underground parking lot of the office building where "True News" was located. Gu Chengxi was already waiting for Chu Huan in his car.
Chu Huan got down from his car and came directly to Gu Chengxi's car. Seeing Chu Huan's actions, Gu Chengxi in the car looked at Chu Huan with some suspicion. Finally, seeing Chu Huan's firm attitude, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
The car moved to the passenger seat.
Chu Huan sat in the driving position, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove out of the underground parking lot, with Li Zhenguo and others following behind.
In the car, Gu Chengxi looked at Chu Huan excitedly and said, "Is it really possible?"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "There's nothing wrong with that!"
"yes!"
Gu Chengxi made excited movements in the car.
The two drove to the Ocean Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui.
After getting out of the car, the two of them put on masks, and Gu Chengxi held Chu Huan's arm and went shopping in the mall like an ordinary couple.
What made Gu Chengxi so happy was actually that this afternoon, Chu Huan called her and asked them to go shopping together.
This is the simplest thing for ordinary couples, but for Gu Chengxi, it seems a bit luxurious.
First of all, Chu Huan's identity showed that it was difficult for the two of them to appear in public. Most of the time they met, they were in the apartment.
Although Gu Chengxi didn't care about this, she would still be very happy if she could go shopping with Chu Huan openly.
Secondly, after Chu Huan returned from Los Angeles, she had not seen Gu Chengxi yet, which made Gu Chengxi miss her very much.
"Are you sure your sister won't see you here?" Chu Huan asked Gu Chengxi with a smile.
Gu Chengxi told Chu Huan before that Gu Xiaomei sells women's clothing in the mall here.
Gu Chengxi smiled sweetly and said, "Don't worry, my little sister has a day off today and she must be at home now!"
Chu Huan said nonchalantly: "What should I worry about? It's because you don't dare to let others know about our relationship!"
Gu Chengxi said coquettishly: "Aren't I thinking about you? Now you don't want outsiders to know the relationship between "True News" and you. If outsiders know our relationship, then you are the boss behind "True News"
Things must be known to others.”
Chu Huan chuckled and said: "So that's it, in order to reward you, spend whatever you want today, Mr. Chu will pay for it for you!"
Question: When men and women are together, when does the woman think the man is the most handsome?
Answer: When a woman begs for mercy but a man refuses to give in!
Q: Well...that's a correct answer, but there's another answer!
A:What answer?
Question: When to pay!
The two of them wandered from shop to shop, and soon Chu Huan's hands were full. Chu Huan looked at Gu Chengxi who was still shopping in front, and shook his head slightly. It seemed that no matter what kind of woman was shopping,
Everyone is so energetic when they get up on the street.
As Chu Huan turned around, Li Zhenguo, who was holding back his laughter, came over, took the many bags in Chu Huan's hands, and then put them back into the car.
In a women's clothing store in the shopping mall on the second floor of the Ocean Terminal, the girl Gu Chengxi said was having a day off today was chatting with her colleagues.
It's just that Gu Xiaomei's expression at this time is not very good-looking.
"Little sister, didn't you say you were going to be a singer? Why are you still coming to work with us now?"
Gu Xiaomei's colleague Yangyang Zheng seemed to be concerned, but in fact he asked teasingly.
At the end of last year, Gu Xiaomei also participated in the Xiangjiang Rookie Singing Contest jointly organized by Li's TV and Youyu Records, but she was rejected without even passing the preliminaries!
This is the pain in Gu Xiaomei's heart during this period.
When Yangyang saw that Gu Xiaomei didn't answer, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter. The jealousy between girls was so simple. For example, Gu Xiaomei was prettier than her, and Gu Xiaomei's affirmative tone at that time made Yangyang very unhappy.
Happy, so now when Yangyang has nothing to do, he will use this incident to stimulate Gu Xiaomei.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "By the way, little sister, look below, it seems that the champion, second and third place in this year's rookie singing competition are performing, right?"
The Rookie Singing Contest has ended, and the first, second and third runners-up have been selected. In order to quickly expand their popularity in Hong Kong, Youyu Records has recently arranged for the three of them to perform in major shopping malls in Hong Kong to consolidate their popularity.
own popularity.
It just so happens that the mall where they performed today is the mall inside the Ocean Terminal.
"Little sister, if you really became the champion of the Rookie Singing Contest as you said, you should be among the three people below now, right?"
Yangyang stood beside Gu Xiaomei, still preaching relentlessly.
But Gu Xiaomei was not listening to Yangyang's words at this time, but focused her eyes closely on a familiar figure in the crowd in the square below.
This familiar figure is naturally Gu Chengxi.
At this time, Gu Chengxi was pulling Chu Huan, and there were three people performing hard in the stands!
“I don’t know who owns this company, Youyu Records, but it’s so powerful. It launched a singing competition for new talents right after it opened, and luckily found three powerful singers, Lin Zixiang, Guan Zhengjie, and Ye Zhentang!”
Gu Chengxi looked at the three people on the stage. Although he was not as excited as the fans, he still spoke with some curiosity.
Chu Huan already knew the results of this rookie singing competition from Chen Haichao.
Champion Lin Zixiang, runner-up Guan Zhengjie, third runner-up Ye Zhentang!
Among them, the one that Chu Huan is most familiar with is naturally Lin Zixiang, who was still very active in the era of his rebirth.
On the short video platform at that time, the video of Lin Zixiang singing "Ten Ten Twelve Inches" at an awards ceremony was even praised by many people.
He directly defeated Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guoyuan!
As for Guan Zhengjie and Ye Zhentang, Chu Huan is not as familiar with them as Lin Zixiang. He has only heard their songs, but he really has no impression of them in person.
It was so long ago that these two people were not so active in later generations.
In Chu Huan's impression, Guan Zhengjie had sung songs such as "Celestial Silkworm Change", "Remnant Dream", and "Fishing Boat Sings Late". Later, when Zhang Geshen debuted, the songs he sang in the singing competition were also Guan Zhengjie's songs.
As for Ye Zhentang, his masterpiece seems to be the theme song of "Fearless Fearless", "Heroes Fearless"!
There are no other impressions.
But no matter what, since their songs can be heard by people like Chu Huan, it already shows that they must have been very popular in the 1970s.
This shows that this rookie singing competition of Youyu Records is still very successful.
"Have you ever heard them sing?"
Chu Huan asked Gu Chengxi.
Gu Chengxi nodded and said: "Of course I have heard of it. Don't you know? During the last performance of this singing competition, Li's TV's ratings exceeded 75%. It was the first time that it defeated a wireless station with such a huge disparity!"
At this time, there were two major TV stations in Hong Kong, Lai TV and Wireless Station. In most cases, Wireless Station beat Lai TV, but occasionally, Lai TV could fight back.
However, as Gu Chengxi said, when the ratings of Li's TV programs reach 75%, it is still very rare.
It cannot be said that there are few, it should be said that there are none at all!
Now this record has been broken by the Rookie Singing Contest. Although this kind of program rarely appears in Hong Kong, what is really important is that Lin Zixiang, Guan Zhengjie, and Ye Zhentang are really too strong.
The three have already attracted a group of die-hard fans.
Chu Huan smiled and shook his head: "I didn't pay much attention."
Gu Chengxi didn't think much about it. This kind of program was originally meant for journalists and young people to watch. Although Chu Huan was also a young person in terms of age, Chu Huan's status destined him not to pay attention to such things.
people.
The three people on the stage took turns singing on the stage under the introduction of the host. The fans in the audience would applaud when their favorite idols came on stage!
Chu Huan and Gu Chengxi looked at each other for a while, then turned around and prepared to leave.
But when the two turned around, they saw a girl wearing a shopping mall saleswoman's clothes standing behind the two of them, with her hands on her hips, looking at them with a contented expression!
When Gu Chengxi saw the other party, his expression suddenly changed. The girl was naturally Gu Xiaomei.
Gu Xiaomei has always suspected that her sister is dating, but she doesn't know who it is. Today, she unexpectedly saw her sister while she was working for her shift.
No wonder she called home today to ask if she was going to work today!
Although Gu Chengxi had his back turned to Gu Xiaomei at the time, his sister could immediately recognize her even with her back!
So she was ready to take a closer look at who this mysterious man was dating her sister.
Chu Huan was still wearing a mask at this time, but even so, Gu Xiaomei recognized Chu Huan at first sight.
Gu Chengxi was nervous, Chu Huan was indifferent, and Gu Xiaomei was dumbfounded. In the noisy environment, the three of them seemed to be frozen somewhere.
Gu Chengxi was the first to react, and when he was about to step forward and say something to Gu Xiaomei, Gu Xiaomei suddenly stretched out her hands and touched them randomly, muttering something in her mouth: "It's strange, why can't I see anything? It's so strange, no.
I have to go to the hospital quickly!"
As he spoke, he turned around and left. He took just two steps and instantly changed from walking to trotting, avoiding this place.
Even Chu Huan was confused by such an operation.
What kind of operation is this?
"It's over, it's over, it's time to let my mommy know this time."
Where Gu Chengxi was standing, his expression became a little complicated.
There is both relief and worry.
Chu Huan joked: "You hurt me a lot when you do this. Am I so shameless?"
Gu Chengxi glanced at Chu Huan angrily and said, "You know that's not what I meant!"
Chu Huan naturally knew that Gu Chengxi didn't mean this anymore. It was just because his identity was special. Gu's mother also knew about Cao Yunshang and didn't want her daughter to just follow him without a name or status.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "If you want your sister not to tell your mommy, there is no other way!" Chu Huan said with a smile.
Gu Chengxi immediately looked at Chu Huan and asked hopefully: "What can we do?"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Didn't you say that your sister likes brand-name bags? I'll just pick one here and give it to her later."
Gu Chengxi said: "In this situation, a brand-name bag may not be able to silence her!"
My sister knew that if she wanted to block Gu Xiaomei's mouth, she would bleed heavily this time.
Chu Huan said confidently: "A famous brand bag is naturally impossible, but what if we add a contract with Youyu Records?"
Gu Chengxi looked at Chu Huan suddenly, "Did you establish Youyu Records?"
Chu Huan nodded and said: "It's almost the same. It's somewhat similar to the situation in "True Report"."
Gu Chengxi was stunned. He didn't expect that Youyu Records, which was so popular in Xiangjiang now, would be Chu Huan's company, but after thinking about it, it seemed natural.
Chu Huan was able to secretly found "True News", so naturally he could also found Youyu Records!
For ordinary people, the investment to set up a record company may be huge, but for Chu Huan, it may be an investment to buy a lot at an auction.
"It seems that when I go back, I have to investigate those mysterious companies in Xiangjiang!" Gu Chengxi angrily told Chu Huan.
Chu Huan chuckled and said, "I've done you such a big favor, how are you going to repay me?"
Gu Chengxi was stunned for a moment and said aggrievedly: "This is a matter between the two of us!"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "But you have to face your mommy!"
Gu Chengxi had no choice but to ask: "What do you want to do? Anyway, I belong to you. Isn't it up to you to decide what you want?"
Chu Huan shook his head and said meaningfully: "I have said some things, but you have never agreed!"
Gu Chengxi looked suspicious, then turned red. She knew what Chu Huan was talking about.
"Um, um, I'll help you when you get back tonight..."
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Then we have agreed, then you go find your sister quickly, and I will go to the toy city."
Today Chu Huan came to the shopping mall of Ocean Terminal. Although she was accompanying Gu Chengxi to spend time together, Chu Huan also wanted to see the situation in the toy mall.
Although some things have already been marked on the fish head, how could Shezai Ming know about it, but now that I have the opportunity to come here, seeing is believing, I can still understand the things inside more intuitively.
Gu Chengxi also knew that Chu Huan had been busy with the toy factory recently and nodded.
The two of them split up, Chu Huan went to the toy store, Gu Chengxi went to buy a bag, and then bribed his sister. After a while, they met in the parking lot.
Chu Huan took the lead in arriving at the toy store on the second floor. After entering, he saw that at least one-third of the goods on the shelves inside were empty.
It can be seen that this toy store previously sold a large amount of imitation toys related to "Fantasy Comics".
"Sir, what do you need?"
A shopping guide saw Chu Huan coming in and immediately came forward to ask.
Chu Huan said: "I heard that you have Transformers figures here, why are they no longer available now?"
The shopping guide smiled as usual: "Sir, you misunderstood. We have never sold Transformers figures here, but you can wait. The Youth Toy Factory will be completed soon, and we will have Transformers here by then."
The figure is ready!”
As expected, he was a professional, and he lied without blinking an eye.
Chu Huan complained silently and said: "But I heard from my friend that he bought it from you!"
The shopping guide smiled and said: "Then you must have heard wrong, sir. We really don't have any Transformers figures to buy here."
Chu Huan nodded and said nothing.
Then we started shopping casually here. When the shopping guide saw that Chu Huan didn't look like he wanted to spend money, he just let Chu Huan make his own choice.
After walking around for a while, Chu Huan saw that many customers were asking about toys surrounding "Fantasy Comics". Some were asking about Transformers, some were asking about Little Goku holding the Wishful Stick, and what about the one who wanted to buy Bulma?
What's going on?
In addition to these people, there are also many people who want to buy various weapons adapted from the comics of Gu Long and Jin Yong's novels.
From this we can see how popular the peripherals of "Fantasy Comics" are.
While Chu Huan was shopping in the toy store, Gu Chengxi also bought a bag worth 8,000 Hong Kong dollars, and Yang Wei followed behind to pay for Chu Huan.
Then Gu Chengxi came to the shop where Gu Xiaomei worked, while Yang Wei stood guard outside the door.
Seeing Gu Chengxi come in, Gu Xiaomei's face became complicated, but when she saw the bag in Gu Chengxi's hand, her eyes suddenly lit up.
In fact, not only her eyes lit up, but also the eyes beside her. Being a shopping guide here requires sharp eyesight, so you will naturally know the value of the bag in Gu Chengxi's hand.
So while Gu Xiaomei was still thinking about whether to accept the bribe from her sister, Yangyang had already rushed to Gu Chengxi's side: "Miss, what do you need? Our store is full of the latest styles of the season!"
Gu Chengxi smiled politely and said, "Sorry, I'm here to see Gu Xiaomei!"
