Gu Xiaomei was looking at Chu Huan with excitement at this time, and asked excitedly: "Young Master Huan...Brother, can I really become a singer at Youyu Records?"
After Gu Chengxi found his sister in the Ocean Terminal store, Gu Xiaomei was a little bit confident at first, "It's impossible to bribe me with just a brand-name bag!"
As a result, when Gu Chengxi whispered in her ear that Chu Huan could let her join Youyu Records, all Gu Xiaomei's tricks disappeared in an instant, and Gu Chengxi became her most lovable sister.
She was going to be a big star, so she naturally stopped doing the job of a shopping guide. So with a puzzled look in her eyes, Gu Xiaomei proudly quit her current job, and then said that she was going to be a big star!
When she followed Gu Chengxi to the parking lot, she saw Chu Huan, which made Gu Xiaomei very excited.
Naturally, we can no longer leave her alone.
Chu Huan took the two sisters to a nearby high-end restaurant.
"Do you want to be a singer or an actor? If you are a singer, go to Youyu Records; if you are an actor, go to Black and White Video!"
Chu Huan preached nonchalantly.
Gu Chengxi is so beautiful. As Gu Chengxi's younger sister, Gu Xiaomei has inherited the fine traditions of their Gu family and has a very good image. Whether she is an actress or a singer, she is above the passing mark.
Happiness came so suddenly that Gu Xiaomei couldn't believe it.
The circle that I once tried to break my head to enter but had no way to enter can now be easily entered.
"Then can I do both?"
Gu Xiaomei couldn't help but ask.
Sure enough, Gu Xiaomei has grown up and is no longer a child. She knows that the best choice in the adult world is not to make a choice, but to have it all!
Gu Chengxi glanced at his sister angrily.
Chu Huan smiled nonchalantly and said: "Yes, but it's best to do one thing first. You are still young. If you do both at the same time, it will be easy to displease both parties!"
As long as Gu Xiaomei joins the entertainment industry, she will be what future generations call a proper resource person!
As a resource person, it is always easy to be jealous of others, especially when you do not perform well but can get good resources, it is even easier for people to scold you.
When Chef Xie from Hong Kong debuted in the early days, he was a celebrity star. When he sang on stage, he was scolded by the fans in the audience.
Later, Jing Xiaotian from Domestic Entertainment did the same!
Gu Xiaomei raised her neck, held her chin with one hand, and tapped her chin with one finger. She thought for a moment and said, "Then I'd better be a singer first!"
Chu Huan said nonchalantly: "Then you can report on Youyu Records tomorrow!"
"Yeah!" Gu Xiaomei nodded happily, and then looked at Chu Huan with curiosity: "Brother Huan, are you really the boss behind Youyu Records and "True News"?"
Gu Xiaomei has dreams of becoming a star, but she is not a fool. When she saw her sister and Chu Huan together, and then heard that Chu Huan could let her join Youyu Records at any time, even if Gu Chengxi did not tell Gu Xiaomei these two things, Gu Xiaomei guessed it herself.
.
Hearing Gu Xiaomei's question, Gu Chengxi on the side immediately said: "Little sister, don't tell anyone these two things, otherwise you will miss Brother Huan's business plan!"
Gu Xiaomei said carelessly: "I know, I'm not stupid!"
Seeing his sister like this, Gu Chengxi was speechless for a while, but still warned: "By the way, don't talk about your relationship with Brother Huan in the company!"
Gu Xiaomei said regretfully: "I can't say it, I still want to see other people's envious eyes!"
She is Chu Huan's sister-in-law. If she reveals her identity, she will show her face even more than if she is a big singer!
Gu Chengxi nodded seriously and said, "You can't say that, otherwise, I won't let you go to Youyu Records!"
"Okay!" Gu Xiaomei nodded helplessly and said, "If you don't want to say it, I won't say it."
"The food is here, let's eat!" Chu Huan said with a smile when he saw the waiter bringing the food.
...
After dinner, Chu Huan asked Yang Wei to send Gu Xiaomei home, while he and Gu Chengxi returned to the apartment!
After Gu Chengxi returned to the apartment, her face turned red. Seeing Chu Huan's playful eyes, she blushed and pushed Chu Huan into the bathroom, "Let's take a shower first."
Chu Huanxiao asked: "Then do you want to brush your teeth first?"
Gu Chengxi's face turned even redder...
...
The next day!
Chu Huan returned to Jiahu Building.
“Are people from Li & Fung Group here?”
Chu Huan sat there and asked Xu Yi.
Xu Yi said angrily: "Not yet!"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "If you don't come, don't come. Tell Luo Decheng to take action against Li & Fung Group first!"
Xu Yi nodded and said: "Understood!"
"In addition, call Zhong Zhichen from "Fantasy Comics"!" Chu Huan continued to give instructions.
Xu Yi nodded and went out to do things.
An hour later, Zhong Zhichen came to Chu Huan's office.
"President, is it time to take action?"
When he said this, Zhong Zhichen looked excited.
Chu Huan nodded and said: "Yes, what is the current financial situation of "Fantasy Comics"?"
Although Zhong Zhichen is not the editor-in-chief of "Fantasy Comics", everyone in "Fantasy Comics" now knows that Chu Huan is focusing on cultivating Zhong Zhichen, and even Kamikura Yasuo has acquiesced to this.
So Zhong Zhichen is now the deputy editor of "Fantasy Comics".
However, with the establishment of the Youth Toys Factory, Zhong Zhichen will succeed Yasuo Kamikura as the person in charge of Youth Toys. Of course, he will still be affiliated with "Fantasy Comics".
In other words, Kamikura Yasuo is still Zhong Zhichen’s immediate boss.
"Now the company still has 180 million in cash on its account!" Zhong Zhichen said proudly.
There are few companies in the whole of Hong Kong that can guarantee this cash flow.
Chu Huan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Then let's start taking action!"
Zhong Zhichen said: "Okay!"
As for the action, the two of them had actually discussed it for a long time, but Chu Huan was waiting for Li & Fung Group to come to their door at first. Since the other party now maintains his own identity, Chu Huan will naturally not tolerate them.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li & Fung Group, a long-established consortium in Hong Kong, was founded in 1906, when it was called Li & Fung Hong. Its founder, Feng Pak Liao, was a famous businessman in the late Qing Dynasty!
Feng Pak Liao and his friend Li Daoming jointly founded Li & Fung in Guangzhou in 1906, with Feng holding 51% of the shares.
Li & Fung Hong was the first Chinese-owned commercial firm directly engaged in foreign trade in China. In the early days of its establishment, Li & Fung Hong's business was mainly engaged in the import and export of porcelain. A year later, it gradually expanded to other goods, including bamboo ware, rattan ware, and fireworks.
, jade and ivory handicrafts, etc.
Li & Fung Hong attaches great importance to the design and packaging of innovative products, such as the creation of "paper-sealed" firecrackers to replace traditional clay firecrackers. Since the new products are lighter, import taxes are reduced accordingly, allowing buyers to save money, and they can also eliminate traditional firecrackers.
The disadvantages of flying mud and dust turned out to be very popular.
Later, the Black Cat brand firecrackers and fireworks represented by Li & Fung Hong became popular brand-name products in Europe and the United States.
Feng Bo Liao also took this opportunity to become a generation of wealthy businessmen.
Later, when the war broke out, Feng Pak Liao immediately moved Li & Fung Holdings to Xiangjiang and appointed his son Feng Hanzhu as the company manager.
In 1941, Feng Bailiao unfortunately passed away, and the family business was taken over by two brothers, Feng Hanzhu and Feng Muying.
After the war, the two brothers Feng Hanzhu first made a fortune in Hong Kong by acting as an agent for North American ballpoint pens. In the 1950s, Li & Fung Hong adjusted its business policy due to changes in Hong Kong's economic development and changed its business focus from
Exporting products from hometown has shifted to acting as an agent for the export of locally manufactured products in Xiangjiang, including ready-made clothing, toys, electronic products, firecrackers, plastic flowers, and traditional ceramics and handicrafts.
At the same time, it also moved into industrial production, investing in manufacturing industries such as plastic flowers, rattan furniture, woodware and metal tableware.
In the 1960s, world trade protectionism began to rise, and a quota system was implemented for textile and garment exports. Due to the large volume of garment exports, Li & Fung was allocated a large number of quotas and became one of the largest garment exporters in Hong Kong.
During this period, Li & Fung further diversified its business. In 1957, Li & Fung rebuilt three of its residential buildings located at 18 to 20 Connaught Road Central, Central, and built the 12-storey office building "Fung's Building" as a
The headquarters of the group is located.
Li & Fung also developed the warehousing industry, leasing warehouses to external parties, and merged with Mingshang Container Line Co., Ltd., which was engaged in cargo distribution and transshipment.
In the 1970s, Li & Fung also entered the shipping and financial industries.
Last year, Li & Fung jointly purchased several second-hand cargo ships with other companies to operate the shipping industry. In a few years, it will cooperate with Conian Bank to establish Li & Conn Credit Co., Ltd. to provide trade financial services to local factories in Xiangjiang.
Also last year, Li & Fung, which had been renamed Li & Fung Group, was listed in Hong Kong.
Now Li & Fung Group owns the largest toy retail chain company in Hong Kong. In the 1980s, the most famous Toys R Us in Hong Kong was jointly established by Li & Fung Group and North American Company. At that time, Li & Fung Group would also invest
OK convenience store.
Without the emergence of Chu Huan, OK convenience store would have become the largest convenience store in Hong Kong after 7-11 during that period.
At this time in Hong Kong, the toy companies under the Li & Fung Group can be said to have the most comprehensive toy sales channels in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and other places.
Even the Japanese, European and American markets have certain sales channels.
So Chu Huan was thinking of using this lawsuit to reach cooperation with Li & Fung Group, but judging from the current situation, the other party did not intend to bow to Chu Huan.
Prior to this, other toy dealers had bowed to Fantasy Comics, but the wealthy Li & Fung Group had not.
In their view, since they have the largest sales channels in Xiangjiang, no matter how famous Chu Huan is in Xiangjiang, as long as you want to make a difference in this industry, you should come to us.
Instead of us asking you.
So after Chu Huan came to the company today, he took the lead in asking Xu Yi whether Li & Fung Group had sent someone over to negotiate.
Since the other party maintained his identity and did not come over, Chu Huan was naturally not used to Li & Fung Group's problems.
"Fantasy Comics" is now rich and powerful, and it can completely establish its own Toys "R" Us during the period when Youth Toys is started!
Zhong Zhichen said: "Now I have contacted major shopping malls in Hong Kong, and they all welcome our Toys "R" Us to enter their malls. In addition, I have also contacted a large store in Causeway Bay. The other party is willing to sell, but the price is high.
30 million, and we are currently negotiating with the other party. If we can get it, it will become the flagship store of our Youth Toys R Us!"
Basically, there is no need to think about buying the shops in the mall. Basically, the shops in all shopping malls in Xiangjiang are mainly for rent.
Regarding this, Chu Huan had no choice but to choose Causeway Bay as the street store for his flagship store.
Chu Huan nodded slightly and said: "If you have any problems with the staff, go to Xu Yi. I have already notified Jiaku Consulting Company. The members of the Secretarial Office Group Three will be lent to you by then!"
During this period, Jiaku Consulting Company has been expanding its recruitment. There are already four teams in just one secretary office, but there is still a long way to go before the seven teams required by Chu Huan.
At the same time, members within the company also deeply felt the extremely high elimination rate within the company at this time. Within a few months, Jiaku Consulting Company had eliminated nearly 20% of its staff.
High income means high risk!
This point also applies to Jiaku Consulting Company!
Zhong Zhichen naturally knew about Jiaku Consulting Company, and was very happy when he heard Chu Huan's instructions. Zhong Zhichen had already heard about the cruelty of Jiaku Consulting Company.
"OK!"
After the two discussed, Zhong Zhichen immediately left the Jiahu Building to prepare to open his own Toys "R" Us.
As for the overseas sales channels of toys surrounding "Fantasy Comics", Chu Huan also handed over the matter to Jiaku Consulting Company at this time, and asked the operations team to discuss a solution within a month!
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!......
Also located in Fung Building in Central!
In the chairman's office, father and son Feng Hanzhu and Feng Guojing were also discussing matters about "Fantasy Comics".
"Dad, the people in charge of various toy stores are calling now, asking when the peripheral toys of "Fantasy Comics" will be back on the shelves. The toy stores have lost a lot of customers during this time!"
Feng Guojing, who was born in 1945 and is now 29 years old, received a doctorate in economics from Harvard University in North America last year. He has now joined Li & Fung Group and is responsible for the company's toy store.
Where Feng Hanzhu was sitting, his expression did not change much. He just asked calmly: "Is there anything going on over there at Chu Huan?"
Feng Guojing shook his head and said: "Since Luo Decheng Law Firm sent the lawyer's letter, there has been no movement from Chu Huan."
Feng Hanzhu continued to ask: "What about those toy manufacturers in Xiangjiang?"
Feng Guojing said: "According to the information obtained, Qin Shihong from Tianhua Toys went to Jiahu Building to meet Chu Huan in person. Today Tianhua Toys got in touch with the people from "Fantasy Comics" and is currently communicating about "Fantasy Comics"
Shape design of Transformers toys.
In addition, Chu Huan also met Cai Zhiming from Rising Sun Toys yesterday, but after he came out of Jiahu Building, he came to me for a drink and said that Chu Huan was leaving him..."
After talking about Tianhua Toys and Rising Sun Toys, Feng Guojing continued: "As for the other toy manufacturers, although they have not met Chu Huan, they have all accepted the requirements put forward by Fantasy Comics!"
After listening to Feng Guojing's speech, Feng Hanzhu showed a playful expression on his face and said: "This Chu Huan is still the same as before!"
Feng Guojing looked at his father in confusion and asked, "Daddy, what do you mean?"
Feng Hanzhu said: "I have studied this Chu Huan. No matter what line of work he is in, he likes to be the first in this industry. The film industry is declining. If it were not for Li Xiaolong, I am afraid it would have gone bankrupt. Shaw Brothers has a conservative style. It would have been a long time ago."
The ambition of drastic reform in the early stage is no longer there, and it will definitely be overtaken by black and white images in another two years.
"Fantasy Comics" reached its peak when it debuted, and even acquired Yulang Books, forming a monopoly in Hong Kong.
Jiahu Textile may be the one he cares least about, but even so, it has gone ahead of all the textile factories in Xiangjiang, pioneered the development of air textile technology for denim, and successfully transformed into the garment industry.
In the real estate industry, we first built Huaye City, the largest super city within a city in Hong Kong, and then acquired Hang Lung Properties, becoming the well-deserved No. 1 Chinese real estate company in Hong Kong at this time!
Now that he is preparing to get involved in the toy industry, I think his original intention will not change!"
Feng Guojing was also envious for a while, but then he said: "Dad, even if Chu Huan wants to be the number one in the toy industry in Xiangjiang, that is his business, and it is not something he can do if he wants to. We
Li & Fung Toys is not a vegetarian, but now his toy products have not been launched yet, so we are confronting him. There is no loss for him, but for us, the loss is real!"
Feng Hanzhu valued his son very highly. After hearing what he meant, he understood: "Do you want to cooperate with Chu Huan?"
Feng Guojing did not hide his true thoughts, "That's really what I think. I have calculated that it will take at least three months from now until the "Fantasy Comics" toys are launched. If within these three months, we
If the Toy City does not have "Fantasy Comics" peripherals, it will lose at least 30 million yuan in net income, which is not worth the loss!"
Feng Hanzhu chuckled, "You calculated this data, do you think Chu Huan didn't calculate it? That's why he asked us for 30 million yuan in compensation."
Feng Guojing said: "Of course I know this, and I have already thought about it. This time I negotiate with Chu Huan, I will definitely ask the other party for the franchise rights of "Fantasy Comics" peripheral toys. When the time comes, as long as
If we can get this franchise, no matter whether Chu Huan wants to get involved in the toy sales industry, we can have a big tree to enjoy the shade!"
In Feng Guojing's view, since Chu Huan has already started to develop the peripherals of "Fantasy Comics", according to Chu Huan's character, he must invest heavily. When the time comes, Chu Huan will pay for advertising to increase his influence, and
Their toy city is secretly reaping the dividends from behind. Isn’t this a good strategy?
Therefore, Feng Guojing did not really care about the 30 million compensation requested by Chu Huan, because he knew that as long as he could cooperate with "Fantasy Comics", his company's income would far exceed this amount.
Feng Hanzhu shook his head and said: "Although it is easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree, there will never be a way to grow into a towering tree under the big tree."
Feng Guojing looked puzzled. Although Li & Fung Toys is now the largest toy store in Hong Kong, in the final analysis, it is only responsible for sales and does not have its own products.
When Chu Huan set up his own toy company, he actually wanted to sell "Fantasy Comics" peripherals.
Although they are both toys, these are two different concepts, and there is no reason for the two sides to become competitors.
Feng Hanzhu obviously saw his son's doubts and said with a smile: "Do you think I'm making a fuss out of a molehill?"
Feng Guojing did not answer, but the meaning was already clear!
"You can see the profits from the "Fantasy Comics" peripherals, so why can't Chu Huan see the profits from other toys?
What if Chu Huan wants to use the peripherals of "Fantasy Comics" to drive the sales of other toys? At that time, do you think that when we have helped Chu Huan increase the influence of the peripheral sales of "Fantasy Comics", it is his toys
Are there more customers in the city, or are there more customers in our toy store?"
Feng Guojing didn't know how to answer for a while.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Don't worry, I have already calculated that Chu Huan will definitely come to us to beg us this time. It's not that I don't want to cooperate with Chu Huan, but this cooperation
We at Li & Fung must take the initiative, not Chu Huan."
Feng Hanzhu continued to preach.
Feng Guojing asked: "But daddy, you also said that Chu Huan wants to be the biggest no matter what industry he is in. If we push Chu Huan too hard, he will set up a toy store by himself."
what to do?"
Feng Hanzhu said confidently: "If you want to achieve the same scale as our toy city, how much investment does Chu Huan need?"
Feng Guojing calculated in his mind and said: "At least 100 million Hong Kong dollars!"
Feng Hanzhu smiled and said: "That's right, 100 million in cash is not a small amount. Do you really think Chu Huan is HSBC? He spent at least 700 million in cash to acquire Hang Lung Properties before. I believe this amount
The funds must have almost exhausted the working capital of various companies under Chu Huan's name. In addition, he has also started to build the Tseung Kwan O studio and two major factories, which require huge investment of funds.
100 million in cash. I don’t think he can even get 30 million in cash now. Under such circumstances, why would he invest in the toy city by himself?
He is just pretending to be powerful now. Seeing that there are still three months left, the Youth Toy Factory will already be able to produce the finished product. If there is no sales channel from our family, why should he open the market in Xiangjiang?
Not to mention the markets in Southeast Asia, Japan and other places!
No matter how I calculate, Chu Huan needs to beg us this time!"
Having said this, Feng Hanzhu proudly said to Feng Guojing: "Calm down, you are anxious, Chu Huan is more anxious than you!"
This is one of the reasons why Chu Huan chose not to list his company. If the company is not listed, the financial status does not need to be disclosed. In this way, the public will have no way to know the specific conditions of each company under Chu Huan's name!
Even if Feng Hanzhu is a senior of Xiangjiang Shopping Mall, he still can't guess Chu Huan's real situation. Chu Huan of the Tseung Kwan O studio has already prepared the preliminary funds. Now the overseas box office share of "Enter the Dragon" has also been received, which can completely pay for the construction.
Film set expenses.
The two major factories, the printing factory, from building the factory building to purchasing machines and hiring labor, the total cost is only 40 million. The investment in the toy factory is larger, but the total investment is only 70 million. This amount of money
"Fantasy Comics" is easy to get.
The most important thing is that Feng Hanzhu only knows that the sales of "Fantasy Comics" are very good, but he does not know the specific data. Naturally, there is no way to know the profits of "Fantasy Comics".
As for Chu Huan's other companies, Jiahu Textile, Hang Lung Real Estate, and Huhua Real Estate have become self-sufficient after Chu Huan injected capital in the early stage. Except for Chu Huan, he must pay attention to a 30 million loan from Hang Lung Real Estate this year and the Golden Gate Tower.
Apart from the balance payment, you basically don’t need to worry about your financial status.
Although the real estate industry in Hong Kong in this era is hugely profitable, for real estate companies, the most important assets are the appreciation of land and housing prices.
After the impact of this year's stock market crash has completely passed, the asset values of Huhua Real Estate and Hang Lung Real Estate will increase exponentially. At that time, the real estate companies will show their power.
Whether in a shopping mall or on the battlefield, intelligence is always the most important.
Wrong intelligence can even play a decisive role in the outcome of a war.
Chu Huan knew this early, so he established Jiaku Consulting Company.
Obviously, Feng Hanzhu thought he had all the information about Chu Huan, but in fact, he knew nothing about Chu Huan.
It can be said that before the competition between the two parties has even begun, Chu Huan has already firmly gained the upper hand!
After Feng Guojing heard Feng Hanzhu's words, he even thought that his worries were unfounded.
Thinking of this, Feng Guojing smiled and said: "If this is the case, then I will go to have a meeting with the leaders of each toy city now to stabilize the morale of the military first!"
Feng Hanzhu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Okay, you have to remember that although Chu Huan is very capable, he is still a human being and he will make mistakes. As businessmen, we should recognize his ability.
But we can’t restrain our hands when facing him just because of these!”
Feng Guojing nodded and said, "I know Daddy!"
Feng Hanzhu smiled and said: "Then go and do your work!"
"Um!"
...
The competition between Li Feng and Chu Huan has already begun, but now both sides are still in the stage of testing each other, so Chu Huan naturally doesn't care.
While Chu Huan was busy with the toy company's affairs, he also took advantage of the break to meet with Hu Yingxiang.
The construction of the Tseung Kwan O studio has already started. It must be said that Hu Yingxiang's work efficiency is very fast. It only took one month to settle the land use for the Tseung Kwan O studio.
Since most of the current Xiangjiang movies are set in the Republic of China period, after discussing with Chu Huan, Hu Yingxiang decided to take the lead in building the Republic of China District.
Today I invited Chu Huan to come here to check the construction progress!
"Dr. Hu, there is no need for this between you and me. If I didn't trust you at the beginning, I wouldn't have left this matter to you!"
Chu Huan was dragged here by Hu Yingxiang.
Hu Yingxiang smiled and said: "Then you should come and take a look. You attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the studio and never came again. This is inappropriate!"
Chu Huan smiled bitterly, but he could only visit under the leadership of Hu Yingxiang!
