Since Chu Huan is plotting against Li & Fung Group, it is naturally impossible to reconcile with Li & Fung Group.
Externally, the Toy General Chamber of Commerce was established for the sake of Xiangjiang's toy industry. Internally, it was the second contest between Chu Huan and Li & Fung Group!
However, this time the competition will not be so bloody. Everyone will rely on their abilities to see who can get more support.
Now it seems that Chu Huan has more support in the Chamber of Commerce!
But this is just a look, because neither the toy manufacturer nor the toy retailer has any direct interest relationship with Chu Huan.
Toy manufacturers cannot obtain the production rights to "Fantasy Comics" peripherals, and toy retailers cannot obtain the sales rights to "Fantasy Comics" peripherals.
Now, it was only because Chu Huan waived their compensation that they gained some respect for Chu Huan and became more interested in joining the Toy General Chamber of Commerce.
But no matter what, after this incident, there was finally no obstacle to the establishment of the Toy General Chamber of Commerce.
Then there were endless internal meetings to discuss the purpose of the Toy General Chamber of Commerce.
Those in charge of the meeting were Zhong Zhichen from Youth Toys, Qin Tianheng from Tianhua Toys, and Feng Guojing from Li & Fung Toys. None of these three companies sent their real bosses.
In addition, there are Cai Zhiming of Rising Sun Toys, Chen Dahe of Caixing Toys, and several other powerful toy manufacturers and manufacturers in Hong Kong, the most noteworthy of which are Ben Wallace of Yingzhijie Toys, and Lan of Taikoo Toys.
Bill!
Ying Zhijie has introduced it before. As for Taikoo Toys, it is actually a subsidiary of Taikoo & Co., one of the four major British-owned foreign companies. When this trading company was first established, it focused more on the import and export of cloth, cotton yarn, sugar and other commodities.
Later, with the rise of the toy industry in Hong Kong, Taikoo Trading also got involved, but unlike Li & Fung and Ying Zhijie, they were only responsible for retail sales and did not include the supply of raw materials.
But no matter what, Taikoo Toys still has a place in Xiangjiang!
Everyone got together and held meetings intermittently for a month before finally determining some of the functions and powers of the Toy General Chamber of Commerce!
First of all, the purpose of the Toy General Chamber of Commerce is to protect and promote the best interests of the Hong Kong toy industry and promote the development of the industry in the local and international markets. The association is committed to strengthening the industry's awareness of product safety.
At the same time, the Chamber of Commerce should work with relevant local and international organizations in Hong Kong, including the Toy Industry Advisory Committee of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, the International Toy Industry Association and the Asian Toy Industry Council, to establish a communication platform for local industries and enhance the international recognition of the association.
As for the service scope of the Chamber of Commerce, there are roughly four points.
1. The Chamber of Commerce organizes different types of activities based on the interests and needs of the industry, such as seminars, workshops, etc.
2. The Chamber of Commerce frequently meets and communicates with official representatives from Hong Kong and around the world to reflect opinions to the industry and bring synergy benefits to all parties.
3. The Chamber of Commerce distributes information about the local and international toy industry to members from time to time, including the latest international product safety regulations, international toy exhibitions, the latest industry developments, etc.
4. Members can enjoy a number of services provided by the Heung Kong Federation of Industries at preferential prices, including origin visa services, Hong Kong Q mark certification services, intellectual property services, etc.
In addition, the Heung Kong Federation of Industries regularly invites members to participate in study tours, seminars, conferences and training courses, etc.
Among them, the Xiangjiang Q Mark certification service is a quality certification certificate launched by the Chamber of Commerce. Professionals from all parties will be hired to conduct quality certification on the toys produced in Xiangjiang.
This includes not only quality certification, but also service certification, environmental certification, etc.
In other words, this Q-mark certification will become a benchmark in the Hong Kong toy industry in the future!
This Q-mark certification was also proposed by Zhong Zhichen under the instruction of Chu Huan.
After repeated discussions, most people finally agreed, and then the proposal was approved!
The last step is to set up the organizational structure of the chamber of commerce.
Among them, Chu Huan unexpectedly became the first president of the Xiangjiang Toy General Chamber of Commerce, with a term of three years!
Feng Hanzhu of Li & Fung Group is the vice chairman, and his term is also three years!
Ben Wallace from Yingzhijie Toys is the secretary-general, and the others are executive directors, including Qin Tianheng from Tianhua Toys.
In addition, Qin Shihong, chairman of Tianhua Toys, is the permanent honorary president of the Toys General Chamber of Commerce!
These are all matters on the surface, but privately, there are undercurrents surging in the Toy General Chamber of Commerce.
Feng Guojing found many toy manufacturers and promised them to reduce the price of raw material supply by 3%. This suggestion immediately won the support of many toy manufacturers and formed a trend within the chamber of commerce.
power.
Zhong Zhichen also found a toy retailer in Xiangjiang within a similar period of time and agreed to grant them the sales rights around "Fantasy Comics". This also made these toy retailers in Xiangjiang immediately fall into the arms of Chu Huan.
!
What they longed for but couldn't get before, now Chu Huan has taken the initiative to find them. How can this not make these people happy?
Some people are happy, and naturally some people are unhappy.
Feng Guojing was in Feng's Building at this time, expressing his opinion on this matter.
"Are these retailers stupid? Have they forgotten that they were sued by Chu Huan before, or have they forgotten that if they can join forces, they can get a larger share of sales from Chu Huan. Now Chu Huan can do whatever he wants
Then he threw a bone and they ran to Chu Huan's feet?"
Feng Guojing couldn't help but be angry. In order to win over those toy manufacturers, Li & Fung used their own interests.
And what about Chu Huan?
He didn't take out anything. Although Chu Huan also has his own Toys "R" Us, all the toy retailers in Hong Kong are now selling "Fantasy Comics" peripheral toys.
This will only increase the influence and sales volume of the peripheral toys of "Fantasy Comics" and bring more benefits to Chu Huan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Comparing the two sides, Li & Fung has fallen into a disadvantage.
Feng Hanzhu sighed: "Of course they know, but they don't care. The imitation peripherals of "Fantasy Comics" have already proved their market value. Even our toy city had a third of them before.
Profits come from the peripheral toys of "Fantasy Comics", not to mention those small toy retailers, whose profits account for a larger proportion.
After Chu Huan's series of operations before, they have understood that whether they unite or not, they will not be able to put any pressure on Chu Huan.
To put it simply, they need the peripheral toys of "Fantasy Comics", but Chu Huan does not necessarily need them to increase sales.
the most important is......"
When he said this, the bitter melon color on Feng Hanzhu's face became more and more intense, "More importantly, Chu Huan's Toys R Us does not sell other toys, but other toy retailers need to sell other toys.
In this case, the sales of our Li & Fung Toy Store will definitely be affected!”
"So, Chu Huan has taken action now?"
Feng Guojing couldn't help but preach.
The competition between Li & Fung and Chu Huan has never ended. The Feng family knows this, and so does Chu Huan.
Feng Hanzhu said to Feng Guojing seriously: "Guojing, Chu Huan is unfathomable. Now I know that Chu Huan had already guessed this step when he filed the lawsuit. It shocked me.
Until now, I still don’t know what he wants, so when dealing with Chu Huan in the future, you have to be careful and careful, okay?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Feng Guojing's eyes. Although the Feng family had been losing in previous battles with Chu Huan, Feng Guojing had also lost confidence for a time, but as he regained his confidence, he felt better in his heart.
There is a strong will to fight.
No matter how you look at it, you should be better than Chu Huan, so the previous failures are just your own experience, and the future duel will be the real duel.
"I know Daddy!"
After a pause, Feng Guojing said: "I am going to go to Japan, Europe and the United States to discuss cooperation with toy companies and comic companies. As long as we have more toy brands in our hands, then our Li & Fung Toys will definitely
Can make up for the previous losses!”
Feng Guojing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go ahead and do it boldly!"
...
When time entered May, Chu Huan had actually turned his attention away from Li & Fung Group.
Chu Huan understood that getting the Li & Fung Group was never something that happened overnight. Now that the entire matter was progressing according to his plan, there was nothing to worry about.
As long as the Li & Fung Group's business is hit bit by bit, and the Duogunuo brand is truly pushed to overwhelm the Li & Fung Group, that will be the time for the final decisive battle between Chu Huan and the Li & Fung Group.
So at this time, Chu Huan had already set his sights on another matter.
The "Transformers" animation is about to be released.
Yasuo Kamikura and Zhong Zhichen are responsible for the broadcast of "Transformers" on TV stations in other regions around the world, while Chu Huan is responsible for the Xiangjiang area.
This is not because Xiangjiang is more important. In fact, if we look at it purely in terms of benefits, the benefits generated by Xiangjiang itself cannot be compared with those in Europe and the United States.
The real reason that made Chu Huan do this personally was because of the wireless station!
The world's first television was born in 1938, and Xiangjiang entered the television world in the mid-1950s.
In March 1957, "Lai's Voice" was officially launched, switching from "Lai's Voice" which was engaged in the broadcasting industry. At that time, Lai's Voice was a cable TV service with a monthly fee of HK$25. It broadcast approximately 6 hours at noon and evening every day.
The administrative director at that time was Zhong Qiwen.
Li's life has just passed 10 years of monopolizing the screen and having no competitors.
On November 19, 1967, something happened that shook Lai's hegemony and led the revolution in the television industry in Hong Kong - Heung Kong Television Broadcasting Co., Ltd. (TVB) was officially established.
The chairman of the board of directors is Li Xiaohe, a member of the Li Xishen family. Mr. Li has learned a lot from foreign countries. He feels that the development level of Li is far lower than that of Western television. He also feels that television is a highly profitable and influential communication industry. Li Xiao
He jointly invested with his brothers Li Rongsen and Li Rongda, obtained a business license from the Hong Kong government, and invited celebrities and wealthy businessmen such as film tycoon Shao Yifu as directors.
On the opening day, the Governor of Hong Kong, David Dai, personally presided over the ceremony.
Xiangjiang TV, first of all, overwhelmed Li in terms of the top lineup.
Xiangjiang TV uses a transmitting station to broadcast, so Xiangjiang citizens call it "wireless station" for short.
Wireless, with its advantages of being free, colorful, rich in programs, and long in broadcasting time, completely defeated the veteran Bawangli.
At that time, a reporter published an article saying: "Beauty is not beautiful, but wireless is unlimited."
Vividly depict the situation of the two.
In the face of new competition, Li's also made innovations and changed its service to wireless and color in February last year.
But it was too late. Wireless has firmly occupied the market and is getting better and better.
Everyone in the communication industry knows that hardware is easy to handle, but software is the most difficult. Software is programs. Wireless has the veteran Shao Yifu as a shareholder and director, and Shaw Brothers Cinema has so many artists and facilities to use. Wireless's programs are naturally overwhelming.
Beautiful TV.
At this time, there are only these two TV stations in Hong Kong, but next year, Jiayi TV will appear, but Jiayi TV will not be enough to shake the status of TVB and Li TV.
So at that time, the Hong Kong TV industry was known as one crane and two chickens.
Crane, of course, is the wireless station!
The wireless station at this time is not the era of Shao Yifu, but the era of Li Xiaohe!
Broadcasting Lane No. 77, wireless station!
In a few years, this place will be called Wutai Mountain in Xiangjiang, because it is home to three TV stations and two radio stations in Xiangjiang.
By the way, the TV set of Wireless's rival Rei is at No. 81 Broadcasting Channel!
The car Chu Huan was riding in slowly drove into the wireless station.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! For people who were Chu Huan's age before his rebirth, TVB really has a lot of childhood memories for them.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Shanghai Beach", "Big Era", "Genesis" and a series of TV series. Although Chu Huan no longer remembers the plots of most of the TV series, he can always remember the names.
.
It is strange to say that compared to these popular TV series, the ones that Chu Huan remembers most deeply are two not-so-popular TV series.
The first one was "Sun Moon Sword" starring Guo Jinan and Zhang Weijian. Chu Huan remembered that when he was a child, he would think of this TV series every time he saw the sun and the moon in the sky at the same time in the early morning and evening.
The second movie is "The Journey of the Knight" starring actor Liang, and the jingle-dang-dang-dang in it is really fun.
Shaking his head, Chu Huan threw these messy thoughts behind, and was led by Li Xiaohe and his secretary to Li Xiaohe's office.
When future generations mention wireless stations, everyone thinks of Shao Yifu, but in fact, as the founder of wireless stations, Li Xiaohe's life experience is much more colorful than Shao Yifu.
Li Xiaohe is the third son of Li Xishen, one of the first four major families in Xiangjiang.
Born in Hong Kong in 1909, he went to England to study at the age of 12. He graduated from Oxford University with a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Civil Law. He became a practicing lawyer in 1932.
In 1943, Li Xiaohe became a director of Huaguo Shenghai Commercial Savings Bank and chairman of Huaguo Pingzhun Foundation.
In 1946, Li Xiaohe was appointed as a consultant to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China and a special assistant to the Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations and the Chief Representative of China on the United Nations Security Council. As a member of the Chinese delegation of "Paris HT", he attended the 46th "Paris HT".
Paris HH”.
After the war, Li Xiaohe returned to Hong Kong to take charge of the family business. He concentrated on managing the business of the family group "Hysan Real Estate Co., Ltd." and invested in various aspects of development. He once served as the chief executive of Hong Kong British American Tobacco Co., Ltd., Cathay Pacific Airways and Shenghai Commercial Bank.
director.
For such a legendary figure, if he had not died suddenly of illness in 1980, it would not have been so easy for Shao Yifu to take over the wireless station.
Chu Huan came to Li Xiaohe's office. Li Xiaohe, who was in his sixties, had mostly gray hair at this time. When he saw Chu Huan come in, he had a smile on his face.
"Ah Huan is here, please take a seat!"
"Thank you Leon!"
Chu Huan said with a smile.
"I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Ah Huan, why don't you come here in person this time? Maybe something happened?" Li Xiaohe said with a hearty smile.
Although Li Xiaohe has never met Chu Huan, he is not unfamiliar with Chu Huan at all. In fact, no one in the entire Xiangjiang business community is unfamiliar with Chu Huan at this time.
But Li Xiaohe was still a little curious about Chu Huan's visit today. After all, during this period, everyone knew that Chu Huan was tinkering with the Toys General Chamber of Commerce with people in the toy industry.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "I have something to ask for this time, so I came to Li Weng for help!"
The curiosity in Li Xiaohe's heart became more and more intense, and he asked with a smile: "This is a rare thing. With your appeal today, Ah Huan, is there anything else in Xiangjiang that you need my help with?"
Chu Huan said firmly: "It really does exist, and only you, Li Weng, can help with this matter, no one else can!"
Li Xiaohe showed a serious expression. As he just said, there are not many things in Xiangjiang that would allow Chu Huan to visit in person.
"Then I have to listen attentively!"
Chu Huan said with a smile: "The matter is actually not a big deal. These days, we at "Fantasy Comics" have cooperated with Hollywood's Rogerim Animation to produce a TV animation of the same name for "Transformers". Today I came to see Leo, hoping that Leo can
Open the door to broadcast this TV animation on wireless stations!"
Chu Huan's words stunned Li Xiaohe, not because what Chu Huan said was important, but because what Chu Huan said was not a big deal at all in Li Xiaohe's opinion.
This kind of thing can be left to the people of "Fantasy Comics" to communicate with the staff of their wireless station!
"What do I think..." Halfway through his words, Li Xiaohe was suddenly startled, and then praised: "Ah Huan, your game of chess is a bit big. You actually used a TV animation to do it.
To promote your upcoming toys?”
Li Xiaohe guessed Chu Huan's intention, and then sighed in his heart for Chu Huan's generosity.
Today's toys are basically divided into two categories.
The first category is those educational or mass-market toys. For these toys, toy retailers spend tens of thousands of dollars at most, and an advertisement on a TV station is considered a big deal.
The second type is animation toys, but for this type of toys, most likely, the animation will be released first, and then the same type of toys will be released after seeing that the sales of the animation are good.
But now, in order to promote his toys, Chu Huan went to a Hollywood animation company to produce animations.
Since Li Xiaohe works in a TV station, he naturally knows the production cost of TV animation, especially animation produced by a Hollywood animation company.
The investment for a twenty- to thirty-episode TV animation is at least one million Hong Kong dollars.
"The "Fantasy Comics" you bought are so good, there is no need at all, right?" Li Xiaohe couldn't understand Chu Huan's thoughts.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Do you always hope to have greater influence?"
Li Xiaohe nodded and said: "Based on this alone, I can guarantee that after your Toys "R" Us opens, it will be full of customers!"
At this time, Li Xiaohe was a little envious of Chu Huan. If it was true as he said, then Chu Huan would have another company with a strong cash position in his hands.
In this era, everyone is envious!
Chu Huan said: "I would like to thank Li Weng for his kind words first."
Then Li Xiaohe said with some embarrassment: "However, our TV station has never been in the habit of purchasing outside works. In addition, the production cost of your TV animation is definitely not low. If you want our TV station to buy it, Ah Huan, you have to
Just give us a preferential price!”
Chu Huan said with a smile: "Li Weng, you are just bullying me, a layman. I have never bought TV series or variety shows from outside, but I have never bought cartoons before!"
Animations such as "Astro Boy" and "Doraemon" have all been broadcast on wireless stations.
"But don't worry, Leo, I'm not here to ask for money from Leo this time. Our company's TV animation is going to be given to the wireless station for free!"
Li Xiaohe was really shocked by Chu Huan's words this time. The TV animation that his company spent at least one million Hong Kong dollars to produce was actually sent to his own TV station for broadcast?
"Ahuan, are you kidding?"
Chu Huan said seriously: "Li Weng, how can I joke about this kind of thing, but our company also has a condition!"
Li Xiaohe asked: "What conditions?"
"Then it will be broadcast at 6:30 in the evening!" Chu Huan stated his conditions.
That time is exactly when the children come home from school and turn on the TV.
Li Xiaohe instantly understood Chu Huan's plan, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I personally have no objections to this cooperation with Ah Huan, but I need to check with other people in the company to see if the cooperation can be successful.
The content of your cartoon!"
Chu Huan said that this is naturally what should be done.
An hour later, Li Xiaohe showed a sighing expression again. He originally thought that the quality of the cartoon Chu Huan gave him for nothing would not be very good, even if it was produced in Hollywood.
But after watching it, he immediately understood that purely in terms of pictures, this TV animation of the same name of "Transformers" has surpassed the level of Japanese animation.
As for the story?
Li Xiaohe was still a bit old and could not represent the opinions of most people, so Li Xiaohe specifically asked the manager of the wireless station's production department.
After the other party said that there was absolutely no problem with the content of the story, Li Xiaohe decided to cooperate with Chu Huan!
Chu Huan was naturally very satisfied with the result, and said with a smile: "I will arrange for someone to send the content of the next few episodes to ensure that your company has time to complete the dubbing work!"
The production of the "Transformers" TV animation was completed in Hollywood, and the people at Rogerim Animation also hired professional voice actors to dub the characters, but it was English dubbing after all.
If a wireless station wants to broadcast it, it must be in Cantonese. If it is broadcast by TV stations in other regions, dubbing in the local language also needs to be completed.
However, each TV station needs to be responsible for these matters.
Li Xiaohe smiled and said: "There is no problem. There should be no problem with the supply of one episode per week, right?"
Chu Huan said: "Don't worry Li Weng about this!"
After finishing the business chat, Li Xiaohe asked Chu Huan a little strangely: "Ah Huan, I still can't understand. It's just such a matter. As for you, do you want to go there in person?"
Nowadays, Chu Huan has a net worth of several billion and owns several companies. He must deal with countless things every day. Although this matter seems to be more important, compared with other tasks in Chu Huan's hands, Li Xiao
He still felt that Chu Huan would not come here personally just for such a thing!
Naturally, this matter will not happen, but if it is a wireless station, then it will not happen.
Chu Huan now has a film company and a newspaper. The only media in this era are radio and television.
If there are these two industries again, Chu Huan has basically completed his layout in the media industry, so TV stations will definitely want to take a look.
Again, for an industry that focuses on content output, Chu Huan's rebirth advantage is actually not that big.
According to his memory, Chu Huan could know that the TV series would bring huge ratings, and those variety shows were top variety shows, but this did not allow Chu Huan to produce these shows.
Therefore, Chu Huan could only set his sights on a TV station that had proven successful in another time and space.
Although Li TV next door has been sold and acquired many times, no matter which owner it is, its fate will always be the result of being beaten by Wireless.
As for Jiayi TV, which will be established next year, this is even more true.
Therefore, Chu Huan could only set his target on the wireless station.
As for how Chu Huan will get the wireless station, Chu Huan actually has a complete plan, but the implementation of this plan will not be this year, but next year.
So now Chu Huan can be regarded as... Let's take a look at his property in advance!
However, after taking the wireless station into his hands, Chu Huan has not yet thought about how to develop the wireless station.
"I'm afraid that if I say it, Leon will be angry!"
Chu Huan smiled.
Li Xiaohe laughed and said, "What do I have to be angry about? Ah Huan, you don't want to get the wireless station, do you?"
Chu Huan waved his hands and said: "Of course it won't happen. In fact, Fang Jianhui told me some time ago that he wanted to set up an artist training class for black and white images. In the whole of Xiangjiang, I don't think there is such a comparable artist training class.
Wireless is successful, so I came here specifically to learn from it this time!”
Shaw Brothers' southern artist training class has been discontinued and has been replaced by TVB's artist training class.
Chu Huan definitely couldn't say that he wanted to acquire Wireless, so he came up with this reason to deal with Li Xiaohe.
After hearing this, Li Xiaohe smiled and said: "So this is what happened. What am I so unhappy about? It should be Brother Shao who is unhappy, but I think there should be very few people in Xiangjiang who can refuse you, Ah Huan."
Requested."
"How about I arrange for someone to take you to visit now?"
