Planning for the Li & Fung Group was by no means something that happened overnight. Chu Huan was not in a hurry, and the things he had prepared before were going smoothly, so Chu Huan was having a very easy time at this time.
However, some things still need to be dealt with as soon as possible.
For example, participating in the Toy Manufacturing Association.
As the saying goes, one person is short-term and two people are long-term.
Chu Huan called his think tank up again, and at the same time it was considered a task assigned to them!
So in the conference room on the top floor of Jiahu Building, Chu Huan, Xu Yi, a group of Wu Xiaoshi from the secretarial department, and seven secretaries under Wu Xiaoshi.
Ma Jizu, manager of the investigation department, and seven analysts from the third investigation team responsible for Xiangjiang company affairs.
Liang Risi, manager of the public relations department, and seven members of the second team of the public relations department.
Finance Department Manager Cui Weihua, and a team of seven members from the Finance Department.
Finally, there are the operations manager Qiao John and Jiang Zishan and his team members
There were dozens of people sitting around the conference room, and it didn't look crowded at all.
Cui Weihua was the first to say: "I don't think there is any benefit for the chairman to join this toy manufacturing association. If we continue to prosecute those toy manufacturers, we will bring at least 50 million Hong Kong dollars in revenue to the company in the future. This 50 million can just fill the gap."
Part of it was about the final payment of the Golden Gate Tower in October!"
Liang Risi held an objection at this time, saying: "I just think that the chairman should join the Toy Manufacturing Association, which can more quickly enhance the chairman's influence in Hong Kong. Now Qin Shihong is old and has no intention of managing the association.
Therefore, once the Toy Manufacturing Association is established, the chairman will be the real holder of real power. At that time, the chairman can use this status to do more beneficial things."
Cui Weihua said: "You can't say that. Now the chairman already has Huaye City, Youth Toy Factory, and Struggle Printing Factory. His personal influence is enough, and the chairman has reduced the number of public appearances this year. If he joins
Toy Manufacturing Association, this is contrary to the strategy set by the chairman at the beginning of the year."
Liang Risi argued rationally: "Any plan will change with the development of time and events. I didn't agree with the chairman's decision to reduce his public appearances before. I still think so. As long as the chairman can maintain high exposure,
With such efficiency, in less than two years, the chairman can become one of the most influential people in Hong Kong!"
Cui Weihua retorted: "Your kind of influence is based on the investment of huge amounts of money. This is not in line with the current development of the company, especially now that several companies under the chairman's name are in a period of rapid development. If you can
With sufficient funds to maintain, just relying on the development of these companies, it will not take two years for the chairman to become one of the most influential people in Hong Kong!
And it costs less!”
"Manager Cui, please don't confuse the concepts. The kind of influence you are talking about is only the influence in the business world, and what I am talking about is the social influence. In Hong Kong, especially the current Hong Kong, we only rely on the influence of the business world.
The strength is not enough to support the chairman's future development!" Liang Risi also had his own reasons.
Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more quarrelsome, Chu Huan immediately stopped them. Chu Huan could understand their opinions, which were all based on his own position.
Chu Huan set his sights on Ma Jizu of the Investigation Department and asked, "Azu, what is the opinion of your Investigation Department?"
Ma Jizu pondered for a moment and then said: "Our investigation department agrees with Manager Liang of the public relations department. Money can be made at any time, but there is only one such opportunity. If you can become the vice president of the Toy Manufacturing Association, chairman, you can at least
You already have 60% of the say in the toy industry, and you will have more leverage if you want to deal with Li & Fung Group.
And according to the investigation of our investigation department, Cai Zhiming and Chen Dahe have been contacting toy manufacturers in Xiangjiang in the past two days. These people are also a little tempted by their suggestions, but they are worried that they will use power for personal gain and add
The two families did not have enough prestige, so the trip never took place.
In addition, the Feng family has also been in contact with these toy manufacturers during this time. After learning about their internal plan, not only did they not stop it, but they actually added fuel to the flames.
According to our analysis, they probably want to use this opportunity to enter the association and gain more say.
We definitely cannot let the enemy do what they want to do, so our investigation department believes that since this matter seems to be difficult to stop now, we might as well join in."
Chu Huan turned his attention to Qiao John again.
John Qiao received Chu Huan's gaze, coughed, and said: "Our operations department thinks so too, and agrees with the suggestion of Manager Liang of the public relations department. Although the finances of several companies under the chairman's name are somewhat tight, it does not hinder
Their normal operation, and before that, the chairman has set the development plans of each company, and there is no need for external capital injection.
As for the final payment of the Golden Gate Tower in October this year, according to the current development of several companies, it will not be a problem to take it out by then. If this is the case, I think it is worth using 50 million in exchange for an opportunity to control the voice of the Hong Kong toy industry
of!"
Five departments of Jiaku Consulting Company came to the scene, among which the Finance Department disapproved, the Public Relations Department, the Investigation Department, and the Operations Department agreed.
One to three, only Xu Yi, the manager of the secretarial department, remained silent!
So everyone turned their attention to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi said without any stage fright at this time: "If you agree, there are two problems that need to be solved."
Everyone said nothing and continued to look at Xu Yi, waiting for Xu Yi to voice this question.
"Although the Toy Manufacturing Association has the chairman as the vice-chairman, and because of Qin Shihong's health, the real person in power is the chairman.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But we should first determine whether the responsibilities of this association after its establishment meet the business needs of the chairman. If this is just a loose business
Association, each toy manufacturer in the association still operates independently. The purpose of establishing this association is just to allow the chairman to exempt these people from compensation. I feel that the gain outweighs the loss.
Secondly, even if the association really becomes an existence like other industry associations, with the chairman being the vice-chairman, it is Cai Zhiming and Chen Dahe who are responsible for establishing the association. Although their influence and financial resources are not as much as those of the directors
Long, but in the Toy Manufacturing Association, their reputation is definitely not weaker than that of the chairman."
Xu Yi's words made Chu Huan's eyes reveal a hint of appreciation. He didn't tell anyone about his previous worries, but now Xu Yi can guess what he is worried about. It can be seen that her vision is indeed a little bit brighter.
progress.
But this is not enough. Being able to ask questions only means that her vision has been improved, and being able to come up with solutions to problems is a reflection of ability.
So Chu Huan smiled and asked: "Since you have these two problems, is there any way to solve them?"
Xu Yi said: "The first problem is actually relatively easy to solve. As long as the functional issues of the association are established in advance with all the major toy manufacturers in Xiangjiang before the establishment of the association, this can ensure the maximum
The influence of the association.”
In fact, everyone understands that the establishment of a chamber of commerce is definitely not something that can be accomplished overnight, and it is not something that can be established by just one president and one vice president. The president, vice president, secretary-general, and standing committee
They will all be powerful figures in this chamber of commerce.
At the same time, the establishment of chambers of commerce plays the biggest role in realizing and protecting the rights of economic subjects; restricting and ensuring the healthy operation of public power; and building a regulatory mechanism for social and economic order.
At the same time, their functions are to assist the Hong Kong government in formulating and implementing industry development plans, industrial policies, administrative regulations and related laws; to formulate and implement industry regulations and various standards; to strictly control the quality of products and services, competition methods, and business styles in the industry.
Supervision, etc.
This is still a matter of general direction. It will take at least a few months for all these things to be finalized. During this time, all parties within the Chamber of Commerce will face the reshuffle of various interests and at the same time increase their own influence.
force.
"As for the second question, in fact, we don't have to set up a toy manufacturing association, but can directly set up the Toy General Chamber of Commerce, which includes not only toy manufacturers, but also toy retailers. Although there are many in Hong Kong
Toy manufacturers are also retailers, but it is undeniable that if the scope of recruitment is expanded in this way, the influence of Cai Zhiming and Chen Dahe in the chamber of commerce will be reduced!"
Everyone's eyes lit up after hearing this, and they obviously agreed with Xu Yi's statement.
The eyes he looked at Xu Yi also changed a bit. Xu Yi had always been Chu Huan's personal secretary in the past. When Jiaku Consulting Company was established, most of these people were already leaders in various companies or industries.
Even Wu Xiaoshi is a graduate of the University of Hong Kong, but Xu Yi took the position of manager of the secretarial department just because she was Chu Huan's personal secretary.
This will inevitably make some people doubt Xu Yi's ability.
Xu Yi's insights today can be said to have changed some of the people's views on Xu Yi.
In the past, everyone considered the pros and cons of this matter based on their own jobs, but now Xu Yi is considering this issue from an overall perspective!
What is the overall perspective? It is Chu Huan’s perspective!
Although everyone agreed with Xu Yi at this time, it did not mean that everyone agreed with Xu Yi's views. It was Cui Weihua who still preached.
"Although what Manager Xu said is reasonable, if the Toy Manufacturing Association is directly transformed into the Toy General Chamber of Commerce, then Li & Fung Group will definitely join in, and the situation faced by the chairman will be more complicated."
Faced with Cui Weihua's opinion, Xu Yi smiled easily and said without paying much attention: "Does Manager Cui think that even if there is no expansion of recruitment, Li & Fung Group will not be able to join?
Since the joining of Li & Fung Group has become a foregone conclusion, let them join. You must know that they are not the only toy retailers in Xiangjiang. They are only the largest, but not the only ones. However, these toy retailers have already joined forces with
We have no direct competition!"
"So, except for Manager Cui from the Finance Department, everyone thinks we should join the Toy Manufacturing Association...the General Toy Chamber of Commerce?"
Chu Huan stopped everyone's argument in time.
Xu Yi, Liang Risi, Qiao John, and Ma Jizu nodded.
Cui Weihua said: "I reserve my personal opinion!"
Several people could only smile after hearing this.
"Everyone can go back to work first. I will consider this matter again!"
Chu Huan asked everyone to go back. Since its establishment, Jiaku Consulting Company has been providing advice to Chu Huan, not making decisions for Chu Huan.
Chu Huan can listen to their opinions, but cannot let their opinions influence his real thoughts.
So Chu Huan still has to continue to think about it at this time.
After finishing the exchange with everyone, Chu Huan left Jiahu Building by car and came to Qin's house!
Mr. Qin had difficulty moving, so Chu Huan had no choice but to come over in person.
Qin Tianheng was waiting for Chu Huan in the parking lot.
"Director Chu, what do you think about the establishment of the Toy Manufacturing Association?"
Qin Tianheng was also a little curious about Chu Huan's final decision.
Chu Huan did not answer Qin Tianheng, but asked him: "What does Mr. Qin think?"
Qin Tianheng said: "My grandfather is inclined to establish this toy manufacturing association. After all, this can better unite the toy manufacturers in Hong Kong and play a positive role in market supervision and coordination with raw material suppliers in the future."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Huan nodded and said: "Go in and discuss with the old man first!"
"Um!"
The two entered the Qin family's living room. Chu Huan saw Qin Shihong sitting on the sofa. There were two nurses next to him, looking at his intravenous drip.
"When Ah Huan comes, I won't get up!"
Qin Shihong said with a smile.
Chu Huan said: "Grandpa Qin, please don't say that. How is your health?"
Qin Shihong said nonchalantly: "As I get older, every day I can hold on is one day!"
After Chu Huan comforted him for a few words, the two changed the topic to the establishment of a toy manufacturing association.
Sure enough, as Qin Tianheng said, Qin Shihong was inclined to establish a toy manufacturing association.
And Chu Huan also proposed the result of the previous discussion between Jiaku Consulting Company, which was not to simply establish a toy manufacturing association, but to establish a toy general chamber of commerce!
Upon hearing Chu Huan's suggestion, Qin Shihong's eyes lit up and he immediately thought that Chu Huan's suggestion was very good.
But then, Qin Shihong also said something that surprised Chu Huan.
"I'm old now. Even if I sit in the position of president, I can't help you much. So, don't give me the position of president. It's up to you, Ah Huan!"
Qin Shihong actually gave up his position as president of the Toy General Chamber of Commerce.
Chu Huan just thought about it for a moment and understood what Qin Shihong meant.
His age and physical condition no longer allow him to do any high-intensity work, so Qin Shihong only needs to stand in line and show his support.
As for the position of president, whether it is him or not, the real boss is Chu Huan. Since this is the case, it is better to sell Chu Huan a favor.
After Chu Huan persuaded him for a few words, he saw that Qin Shihong was very firm, so he said nothing more.
After discussing with Qin Shihong, Chu Huan finally made the decision to join the General Toy Chamber of Commerce, but again, establishing a chamber of commerce is not an easy task.
At Qin's house, Qin Shihong asked Qin Tianheng to call Cai Zhiming and Chen Dahe and inform them to come over to discuss the matter.
After receiving the call, Cai Zhiming and Chen Dahe also said they would come over immediately.
The two people who came to the Qin family in the capital immediately expressed their attitudes after seeing Chu Huan and Qin Shihong.
"After the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, we will definitely follow the opinions of Director Chu and Mr. Qin!"
Obviously, they also guessed what Chu Huan was worried about. This chamber of commerce was established by the two of them, and its influence is self-evident.
So making a timely statement at this time is also a sign of their loyalty to Chu Huan and Qin Shihong!
Chu Huan and Qin Shihong smiled at each other, and then told Cai Zhiming and Chen Dahe the results of their agreement.
After the two of them listened, they did not show excitement at the first moment. Instead, they were a little worried.
If they join the toy retailer, their right to speak within the chamber of commerce will be further reduced, but looking at the serious attitudes of Chu Huan and Qin Shihong, they also know that this matter is irreversible.
"We support the opinions of Director Chu and Mr. Qin!"
Since things are irreversible, all we can do is agree.
"Our Qin family has a pretty good relationship with some toy retailers!" Qin Shihong sat there and said to Qin Tianheng: "Ah Heng, it's up to you to contact those retailers!"
Qin Shihong never forgets to support his grandson.
Qin Tianheng immediately said: "Okay!"
Then Qin Shihong looked at Cai Zhiming and Chen Dahe and said: "You two, I know that you also have good relations with some retailers. I will leave the rest to you, right, especially the Feng family of Li & Fung Toys?"
Since the Toy General Chamber of Commerce is to be established, Li & Fung is an obstacle that cannot be avoided.
What's more, during this period, the Feng family of Li & Fung was already in contact with these toy manufacturers, which was something both Chu Huan and Qin Shihong knew.
Cai Zhiming and Chen Dahe looked at Chu Huan.
Let Li & Fung join, this is what Cai Zhiming and Chen Dahe have been thinking about these days, but they both know about Chu Huan and the Feng family.
Chu Huan smiled and pointed it out directly: "Even if I don't agree, don't you want Li & Fung to join in?"
Cai Zhiming and Chen Dahe's faces were slightly red.
Everyone knows Li & Fung’s position in the Hong Kong toy industry. Without Li & Fung’s participation, the Toys General Chamber of Commerce would actually be a joke, so the addition of Li & Fung is also an irreversible matter.
When Chu Huan agreed to this matter, he actually put Li Feng under his nose. Sometimes the enemy is not as far away as possible, but by being by his side, he can better control the other party's information.
"Now that the matter has been decided, the next step is for everyone to contact each other!"
Hearing what Chu Huan said, Cai Zhiming and Chen Dahe both had smiles on their faces. They finally finalized the association. Although they joined the toy retailer, they were still responsible for contacting them. Although their influence has weakened,
But within the acceptable range.
And if it succeeds, their profits will be even greater.
Soon, Feng Guojing learned about this from Chen Dahe.
Without any hesitation, Feng Guojing went directly to Feng Hanzhu's office and told his father Feng Hanzhu about the incident.
Feng Hanzhu asked aloud: "Chu Huan doesn't have any objections?"
Feng Guojing replied: "Chen Dahe said no."
After finishing speaking, Feng Guojing asked Feng Hanzhu with some confusion: "Dad, what does Chu Huan mean? Doesn't he know that if we join, we will take away part of his voice in this chamber of commerce?"
?"
Feng Hanzhu laughed and said: "What else can you mean? As long as the Toy General Chamber of Commerce is established, there will be no way to bypass our Li & Fung Toys. Chu Huan must also know about this, so instead of refusing, it is better to be generous
He asked us to join him. Now he has given people a domineering image, and now he naturally wants to improve the situation."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Feng Guojing couldn't help but nodded, but still said: "If this is the case, both of us will get along on the same platform. Chu Huan will treat us
The understanding will definitely be clearer!”
Feng Hanzhu smiled and said: "He understands us better, and we understand him better."
After a pause, Feng Hanzhu said to Feng Guojing: "You should contact some retail toy dealers immediately. No matter what, the establishment of the Toy General Chamber of Commerce can allow us to unite better. Who will win with Chu Huan in the end?"
Whoever loses depends on their own methods!"
Feng Guojing nodded and said, "Okay!"
Soon, the entire toy industry in Xiangjiang knew about this matter.
Youth Toys, Tianhua Toys, Li Fung Toys, Rising Sun Toys, and Caixing Toys are either the largest toy manufacturers in Hong Kong or toy retailers who jointly initiated the establishment of the General Toy Chamber of Commerce.
Especially those who know about the conflicts between Chu Huan and Li & Fung Toys Feng Family, and between Chu Huan and other toy retailers and manufacturers in Xiangjiang, are even more surprised.
But this does not prevent many people from asking about this matter.
However, even if there are Youth Toys, Tianhua Toys, Li & Fung Toys, Rising Sun Toys, and Caixing Toys, the largest manufacturers and retailers in Hong Kong, as initiators.
The preparations for the Chamber of Commerce are still not that smooth.
After all, after the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, some regulations will definitely be formulated to supervise industry rules. Not everyone wants to be supervised.
Therefore, Cai Zhiming and Chen Dahe believed that everything would fall into place naturally, but it was not really as they thought, that everything would fall into place naturally.
More people are waiting and watching.
A week has passed, and the people responsible for contacting them still have not reached more than half of the manufacturers and toy dealers willing to join this chamber of commerce!
Such a result made Cai Zhiming and Chen Dahe a little hurt.
On this day, the two separated again. Cai Zhiming found Chu Huan, and Chen Dahe found Feng Guojing.
Chen Dahe sat in Feng Guojing's office, "Manager Feng, what do those retailers think? It's obviously a good thing for everyone, why don't they agree?"
At this time, Chen Dahe could not understand that when they contacted each other before, these people all expressed their approval of the establishment of this chamber of commerce.
But now that the Chamber of Commerce has decided to be established, why do these people start to take a wait-and-see attitude?
Feng Guojing can't understand it now. He has been running into obstacles one after another in the past few days. These people talked very nicely in front of him, but when he asked them to participate, they started to push and pull.
"I think everyone is still not very reassured about this matter and are worried that we will use our power for personal gain!"
Chen Dahe said: "The rules and regulations of the Chamber of Commerce will definitely state these things, how could it be!"
Feng Guojing laughed and said: "There are so many regulations written on the surface, how many of them can obey them perfectly?"
These words left Chen Dahe speechless.
"By the way, what did Chu Huan say?" Feng Guojing asked Chen Dahe.
Up to now, Li Feng and Chu Huan have never met!
Chen Dahe said: "Cai Zhiming has already contacted Chu Huan. Let's see what he has in mind!"
Although many people do not agree, these people are actually waiting to see this matter. At this time, the information given by this chamber of commerce is still too vague, not enough for them to join with confidence.
The most important thing is that they are waiting for Chu Huan's attitude!
What attitude?
Of course it was Chu Huan who sued them before!
These people who did not know the truth even thought that since Chu Huan decided to join and form the General Toy Chamber of Commerce, this should be a signal to reconcile with Li & Fung Toys, as well as other toy manufacturers and retailers!
But until now, Chu Huan has not expressed his position on this matter!
Chu Huan, who was sitting in his office, actually guessed this matter, but Chu Huan did not tell Cai Zhiming, who was sitting opposite him.
Some things can be left to Cai Zhiming and Chen Dahe, but some things must be announced by Chu Huan himself.
They have already received a lot of benefits from being responsible for contacts.
But the greatest benefit must be reserved for yourself.
"Mr. Cai, we should understand the concerns of those retailers and manufacturers. After all, as long as they agree to join, it means that they need to abide by some systems stipulated by the Chamber of Commerce. This is equivalent to adding a ring around their necks.
chain.
So it’s understandable that people need time to think about it.”
Cai Zhiming said helplessly: "Director Chu, I have been explaining to them these days, saying that the establishment of our chamber of commerce is just to coordinate better business for everyone, and has no intention of restraining them. Why don't they
Believe it!"
Chu Huan chuckled, "This kind of thing is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Take your time!"
Cai Zhiming left Chu Huan's office helplessly.
As a result, within a few days, those Hong Kong toy manufacturers and retailers who were waiting on the sidelines received a notice from "Fantasy Comics" that all manufacturers, retailers and "Fantasy Comics" who decided to join the Toy General Chamber of Commerce would withdraw their lawsuits against them
.
When the manufacturers and retailers heard this, they immediately showed expressions of joy. Those who had been waiting and watching before started to contact Cai Zhiming and Chen Dahe.
What they didn't know was that "Fantasy Comics" did not send this notice to Li & Fung Toys!
