A strange phenomenon occurred in the undersea tunnel from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island.
A dark blue modern four-door compact pony car is driving on the road. It is protected by two BMWs at the front and rear. Various cars are following closely on both sides, and there are people holding weapons in these cars.
He stuck his head out with the camera and kept taking pictures of that modern pony car!
"Our chairman is worried that Chairman Zheng and Mr. Zheng will miss the environment in South Korea after arriving in Hong Kong. At the same time, in order to improve Chairman Zheng's enjoyment in Hong Kong, he specially imported a pony car from your company. This is the first pony car in Hong Kong.
A pony car can be regarded as an advertisement for your company!"
Qin Peng, who was driving, spoke seriously.
Sitting in the back seat of this pony car were Chung Ju-yong, the chairman of South Korea's Hyundai Group, and Chung Ju-yong's sixth son, Chung Mong-jun.
Zheng Mengzhun's face was filled with anger and helplessness at this time. Next to him, Zheng Zhouyong was closing his eyes and concentrating, but his clenched fists betrayed the anger in his heart.
Slap someone in the face!
For our sake, the chairman of Hyundai Group went to apologize to Chu Huan in a Hyundai Group car in Xiangjiang, with reporters from major media and newspapers in Xiangjiang beside him.
It was simply the greatest humiliation in Zheng Zhouyong's life history.
Seeing that Zheng Zhouyong was silent, Qin Peng smiled and said nothing.
The car didn't drive very fast, which was enough for the reporters following to accumulate enough material. However, no matter how slow it was, the car finally arrived at No. 12 Mount Galley Road.
When the car drove slowly to the parking lot of the Chu family manor, Wu Shuhan, as Chu Huan's full-time secretary, was already waiting here.
"President Zheng, Mr. Zheng, welcome to Xiangjiang, our boss is already waiting for you two in the reception room!"
Zheng Zhouyong maintained his dignity and raised his forehead slightly. Wu Shuhan didn't care about Zheng Zhouyong's attitude and led the two of them into the main building and then to the reception room of the main building.
Chu Huan and Xu Yi are already waiting here.
Putting down the "Dragon Ball" in his hand, Chu Huan stood up and smiled and extended his hand, "President Zheng, welcome, welcome!"
The humiliation that Zheng Zhouyong should have felt has already been dealt with. When the two of them actually meet, there is no need to kill them all. After all, Chu Huan still needs the South Korean market.
Zheng Zhouyong also shook hands with Chu Huan with a smile on his face and said, "Dr. Chu, nice to meet you, nice to meet you!"
Both parties shook hands, exchanged greetings, and sat down!
Wu Shuhan served tea to both parties.
"Director Chu, I came here specifically to deal with the misunderstanding between you and me some time ago. The people below were not sensible and delayed Director Chu's business in South Korea. It was our Hyundai Group that did not treat guests well. This time I will
The person who offered tea instead of wine and borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha has apologized to Chairman Chu!"
Zheng Zhouyong would rather simply admit defeat and put this matter behind him since he was definitely going to lose face this time, and let the two sides fight each other again in the future.
Faced with Zheng Zhouyong's decisiveness, Chu Huan's vigilance rose to a new level. Zheng Zhouyong can be said to be one of the most powerful businessmen in South Korea today. He was so decisive after losing, which showed his true nature as a hero. Such a person is not easy to deal with.
ah!
"Haha, President Zheng is too polite. Just make a phone call for this kind of thing. Why bother to go there in person!"
I fucking called you, you don't agree? Zheng Zhouyong also smiled and said, "This incident has caused so much trouble to Director Chu. Due to circumstances, we, father and son, should come and apologize in person!"
After finishing speaking, Zheng Zhouyong glared at Zheng Mongzhun who was sitting next to him.
To put it bluntly, everything today was caused by Zheng Mengzhun. As for the cause of the matter, Zheng Zhouyong no longer wants to pursue it.
Just like the straightforward attitude just now, since you have decided to admit your mistake, let's just stick to it.
Zheng Mengzhun received the look in his father's eyes, and strong humiliation flashed in his eyes. Then he stood up and came to Chu Huan, bowed deeply and said, "Director Chu, everything that happened in North America was my fault.
I hope that Director Chu will not take it to heart in the future and accept my sincere apology!"
Chu Huan did not get up, nor support Zheng Mengzhun, nor even look at Zheng Mengzhun, he just looked at Zheng Zhouyong with a smile and said.
"President Zheng, if this matter is just between you and me, it will naturally be nothing. It's just that the people in my company in South Korea have suffered some harm in Seoul before. This matter
I still hope that your master can give us an explanation for this matter!"
Zheng Mengzhun, who was standing bent over in front of Chu Huan, had blue veins on his forehead at this time. The incident in South Korea had nothing to do with him, but now Chu Huan still blamed him, which made him feel humiliated instantly.
double.
More importantly, he couldn't say anything about this matter, so why should he ask his father to apologize to those people?
If that's the case, I guess I won't have to return to South Korea in the future!
An unknown fire also rose in Zheng Zhouyong's heart. Apologizing to Chu Huan was humiliating enough, and it could even be ranked first in the humiliation history of his life.
Now Chu Huan actually wants his son to apologize to Chu Huan’s employees!
While the atmosphere fell into an awkward silence, Xu Yi whispered to Chu Huan, "Boss, we just received a call from Ford Motor Company. Mr. William Ford will arrive in Xiangjiang this afternoon to discuss the preparations for the establishment of Ford Motor's Asia Division."
Ford Motor's Asia Division has agreed to move its headquarters to Hong Kong, and William Ford, who is in charge of the Asia Division, will also arrive in Hong Kong today.
"Tell the servants at home to prepare the dinner at home tonight without making any mistakes!"
Chu Huan ordered.
"yes!"
After Xu Yi left, Zheng Zhouyong said, "This is what we should do. After we return to South Korea, Meng will personally apologize to those Jiaku staff working in South Korea!"
Chu Huan laughed and said, "There's no need to go to such trouble. I took those people back to Xiangjiang some time ago. They are here now. Just apologize here!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After finishing speaking, Wu Shuhan walked out of the reception room, and soon thirteen Jiaku department managers who were beaten in South Korea filed into the reception room.
"Dream is accurate!"
Zheng Zhouyong looked at those people and shouted in a deep voice.
Zheng Mengzhun slowly raised his head, the anger on his face disappeared, leaving only a calm smile.
I walked up to those people one by one and apologized to them with a smile.
When he apologized to the last person, the apology was over.
Chu Huan laughed, walked up to Zheng Mengzhun, grabbed Zheng Mengzhun's shoulders with both hands and said, "There is an old saying in our country, no fight, no acquaintance, this time we are considered acquaintances, if Mr. Zheng still wants to hold a prty in Los Angeles, no matter how hard it is,
Just make a phone call, Mr. Zheng can use it as you please!"
Then Chu Huan walked up to Zheng Zhouyong and said, "President Zheng, there should be no problems with our Jiaku Department's business in South Korea from now on, right?"
Zheng Zhouyong also laughed and said, "Of course there is no problem. I personally agree with what Director Chu just said. If we don't fight, we don't know each other. After this incident, we are also friends. Friends naturally
We need to help each other. If Chairman Chu’s business encounters any problems in South Korea, you can ask friends from the Jiaku family to call me. Our Hyundai Group still has some energy in South Korea."
"Then, we won't be polite when the time comes!"
Chu Huan smiled.
"There happens to be something I want to discuss with President Zheng!"
Zheng Zhouyong said with a relaxed expression, "Dr. Chu, please speak."
"It's like this. Chairman Zheng should know that our Black and White Video has always been very concerned about the film market in South Korea. We have been trying to establish our own cinema chain in South Korea some time ago, but some procedures are still difficult to handle. If Chairman Zheng
If I can help, I would personally be very grateful to President Zheng!"
Xiangjiang movies, especially the Xiangjiang movies in the 1980s, had a huge influence on South Korea. When future generations watch South Korean movies and TV series, they will see the shadow of Xiangjiang movies everywhere.
However, the South Korean government has always had very strict control over theater chains. After Black and White acquired Nikkatsu, the theater chain spread to Japan. However, in South Korea, it has always followed the distribution route and does not have its own theater chain.
Now that Zheng Zhouyong has come to his door on his own initiative, Chu Huan will naturally not give up this opportunity.
In the late 1990s, when Hong Kong cinema was in decline and hometown cinema had yet to rise, it was undeniable that South Korean cinema had actually been developing.
Especially in the era when Chu Huan was reborn, the rise of South Korean movies has already reached a large scale, which means that in the next few decades, South Korea's movie market will always be very good.
Zheng Zhouyong smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem. Friends should help each other. Our Hyundai Group is naturally responsible for this matter!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Then please leave it to President Zheng!"
Then Chu Huan said to Wu Shuhan, "President Zheng has had a hard journey, please help me send President Zheng to Mandarin Oriental so that President Zheng and Mr. Zheng can have a good rest."
"yes!"
"President Zheng, tonight is a banquet for William Ford. I think President Zheng and William Ford should be old friends, so why not get together!"
“What I wish for!”
After the matter was discussed, Wu Shuhan sent Zheng Zhouyong and his son out of the villa.
Chu Huan said to the thirteen Jiaku management who had been beaten in South Korea, "Everyone, this is what happened this time. I, the boss, did not take good care of you and let you stay in South Korea."
I was bullied and couldn’t get you to fight back, it’s my dereliction of duty!”
Among these thirteen people, the one with the highest position is Ke Wanchang, the deputy general manager of South Korea's Jiaku.
At this time, Ke Wanchang hurriedly said on behalf of the thirteen people, "Chairman, we are very happy to have this ending. You are not in South Korea, so you don't know the arrogance of these chaebols in South Korea. We originally thought that this
This incident has passed like this, and now it is very remarkable that the chairman of Hyundai Group and his son can personally apologize."
Chu Huan waved his hands and said, "You have to remember, no matter how arrogant their South Korean chaebols are in South Korea, in my heart, you are always more important than them. This time, in the beginning, it was because of me.
It was my lack of consideration that caused you to be hurt, so here, I should also sincerely apologize to you!"
After finishing speaking, Chu Huan took a step back and prepared to bow to everyone.
Seeing this, Ke Wanchang hurriedly stepped forward to support Chu Huan and said excitedly, "Chairman, you must not say that. It is our honor to work for the Chairman. Please rest assured, Chairman, I will return to South Korea this time."
After that, we will definitely expand the entire Gaku business in South Korea to the size of South Korea’s chaebols!”
Chu Huan did not insist on his actions, but just asked Xu Yi to take the red envelope that he had already prepared.
"Fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars for each person is considered as compensation for the work-related injury received by the company. At the same time, the company also guarantees you thirteen that as long as your children choose to go to school in Xiangjiang in the future, the kindergarten, primary school, and middle school will all be famous schools in Xiangjiang.
, it’s up to you to choose!”
The excited expressions on the faces of Ke Wanchang and the other thirteen people became more and more obvious. They could get the reward of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars in one year based on their manual efforts. If the company's performance sharing is added, they might earn it in one or two months.
arrive.
But the fact that their children can enter a prestigious school is what makes them extremely happy. In Xiangjiang, parents pay as much attention to their children's education as they do in their hometown.
In order to allow their children to enroll in prestigious schools, these parents in Xiangjiang can be said to go to any lengths.
Now with Chu Huan's guarantee, their children no longer have to worry about going to school.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is what touched them the most.
"Thank you, Chairman!"
After sending Ke Wanchang and others out of the villa, Xu Yicai spoke to Chu Huan worriedly.
"Boss, we didn't have fixed assets in South Korea before, so even if we were suppressed by Hyundai Group, the losses were not too serious. But now if we set up our own theater chain company in South Korea, we will have fixed assets in South Korea.
If Hyundai Group no longer relies on Ford Motor in the future, or even has a way to deal with us, then our investment in South Korea will most likely be in vain!"
At this time, Wu Shuhan also returned to the reception room. Hearing Xu Yi's opinion, he nodded in agreement.
Obviously, neither of them thought it was appropriate for Chu Huan to establish his own theater chain in South Korea.
Chu Huan looked at the worried expressions on the two people's faces and said with a smile, "There is definitely a risk, but even without our theater company, if Hyundai Group wants to deal with us in the future, our losses will not be small, but if
If we can always grasp each other, then our gains will be huge."
The key to the problem lies in the future. As Hyundai Motor develops and Chu Huan no longer has the bargaining chip to control Hyundai Group, the other party will immediately turn into a white-eyed wolf and return the humiliation he has suffered now to Chu Huan doubled.
But regarding this issue, Chu Huan already had his own plan.
Park Jung-hyung is a hidden chess player. As long as he can successfully complete the tasks assigned to him, in the next ten to twenty years, Hyundai Group will be trapped in endless family disputes over property.
Ford Motor is a clear move. As long as Chu Huan continues to increase his influence in North America, coupled with Ma Jizu's secret operations, Chu Huan can completely build a new wealthy family in North America in the future.
As the foundation of this wealthy family, it has acquired equity interests in Hyundai Group and even other chaebols in South Korea.
When the time comes for internal and external attacks, even if Hyundai Group is determined to cause trouble, it will not have the courage and strength!
In the final analysis, as long as you continue to improve your strength, you don't have to worry about South Korea causing trouble!
Chu Huan was discussing this matter, and Zheng Zhouyong, Zheng Mengzhun and his son who had arrived at the hotel were also talking about this matter.
"Pride can make people forget themselves, and even Chu Huan is no exception!"
Zheng Zhouyong sat on the sofa and preached with a complicated expression.
"Father, are you talking about Chu Huan's intention to set up a cinema chain company in South Korea?"
Zheng Mengzhun is not just a simple playboy, otherwise, he would not be able to become one of the three strongest sons among the second generation of the Zheng family in the future.
Under Chung Ju-young, the second son Chung Mong-koo, the fifth son Chung Mong-hun, and the sixth son Chung Mong-jun, respectively acquired three companies: Hyundai Motor, Hyundai Group, and Hyundai Heavy Industries.
Zheng Mongzhun even orchestrated the 2002 World Cup scandal. Although this incident caused South Korea to be criticized verbally and verbally in world football, Zheng Mongzhun personally relied on this incident to gain political capital in South Korea.
Zheng Zhouyong nodded and said, "Today's humiliation will be engraved in our bones forever, but fortunately Chu Huan took the initiative to hand his weakness into our hands. After returning, I will arrange for your second brother to take charge of this matter."
First, help Chu Huan support the theater company he wants.
In the future, after our Hyundai Motor develops, I will make all Chu Huan’s business in South Korea belong to our Hyundai Group!”
"Father is wise!"
Zheng Mengzhun hurriedly sent a flattery!
Zheng Zhouyong looked at Zheng Mengzhun. Zheng Mengzhun thought that his father wanted to settle the matter with him in North America. If it weren't for his nonsense, this matter would not have happened.
But I didn't expect it.
"It's over, you don't have to worry about it anymore. Remember this humiliation. He will be your most valuable asset in your future growth. Use this humiliation to spur yourself and never forget him. That's the only way.
, only in the future will you be able to defeat your opponent!"
Facing Zheng Zhouyong's sudden encouragement, Zheng Mengzhun was flattered and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, father, I will never forget today's humiliation!"
"very good!"
That night!
William Ford arrived in Xiangjiang. In order to welcome William Ford, Chu Huan specially held a banquet in his manor to receive William Ford.
When William Ford met Zheng Zhouyong and his son at the banquet, his expression was quite complicated.
At this time, Zheng Zhouyong and his son behaved as usual, without any change in their expressions.
Holding a glass of wine, he smiled and chatted with William Ford.
William Ford was stunned for only a moment, and soon he and Zheng Zhouyong started chatting enthusiastically.
The next day!
The fact that Zheng Zhouyong and his son came to Xiangjiang to apologize to Chu Huan immediately became the headlines of major newspapers in Hong Kong, and the photos of Zheng Zhouyong and his son riding in a Hyundai pony car also appeared in major newspapers in Hong Kong.
"This time, Director Chu's prestige in Xiangjiang is probably unmatched by anyone!"
In Chu Huan's office at the Chinese Bank, William Ford put down the newspaper in his hand and preached with a smile.
Chu Huan smiled and asked, "William, do you have any opinions on the working place of the Asian Business Department?"
Ford Motor's Asia Division naturally chose Xiangjiang as its headquarters, and it is natural that it will establish its headquarters here.
However, Ford did not place its Asian business unit in Chinatown, but in Zhulu Real Estate's Hang Lung Center in Causeway Bay.
William Ford sat on the sofa with a smile on his face and said, "I am very satisfied, and I would like to thank Director Chu for his help!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "That's too polite, not to mention that our Hang Lung Center also collects rent!"
"Haha!" William Ford laughed and said, "I'm new here. I wonder what Director Chu thinks about the company's next move?"
Ford Motor's Asia Division is not just an industry of Ford Motor, but a new company jointly established by Chu Huan's Jiaku Consulting Company and Ford Motor Company of North America. Jiaku holds 45% of the shares and Ford Motor holds 55%.
A subsidiary of Ford Motor Company of North America.
Chu Huan said, "In my opinion, it should be divided into two parts. The first is to build its own flagship stores in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. The second is Ford's marketing strategy in Asia. Here I hope Ford can cooperate with Black and White Image
, become the exclusive car sponsor of Black and White Image!”
Setting up his own flagship store was a strategy that Chu Huan had already discussed with Ford II when he was in North America, but making Ford the exclusive sponsor of black and white images was what Chu Huan thought of now.
A very successful marketing strategy of Japan's Mitsubishi in Asia is actually its cooperation with Cheng Long.
In another time and space, Mitsubishi and Cheng Long Films were in-depth partners, and all of Cheng Long's cars were basically sponsored by Mitsubishi.
This also allowed Mitsubishi to leverage the influence of Cheng Long's films to reach its peak in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and even the rest of the world.
Otherwise, it will be really difficult for Mitsubishi to gain popularity in these places.
"Achieve an exclusive car sponsorship contract with Black and White Image?" This was the first time William Ford heard such a suggestion.
Chu Huan raised his eyebrow slightly and said, "Nowadays, black and white images are, quite literally, the most influential and box office film company in Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. If Ford can become a black and white image company,
As the exclusive car sponsor, Ford will use the platform of black and white images to expand its popularity in these regions as quickly as possible."
As he spoke, Wu Shuhan handed William Ford a document.
Chu Huan continued, "This is the statistics of the number of viewers of black and white movies released in these areas!"
Although William Ford messed up Ford Motor's new car, the Continental, that doesn't mean he was incompetent.
Nothing can be smooth sailing for anyone.
The Ford family is very famous for cultivating its own family members. William Ford, who can come out of the Ford family, stand on the front desk, and may even become the actual helmsman of Ford Motors, naturally has his own merits.
After seeing the number of moviegoers for black and white videos every year, I immediately understood the business opportunities contained in it.
"I don't have any problem, Ford took advantage of this!"
What I like most is dealing with these smart people, and I can explain to them without wasting my brain cells.
"Since there are no problems on your side, William, then this matter has been agreed upon. I will ask Mr. Fang Jianhui, the general manager of Black and White Video, to contact you later!"
Chu Huan said with a smile.
"Okay!" William Ford also smiled. The grudge between Chu Huan and the Ford family has disappeared with the establishment of Ford Motor Asia Division and William Ford's position as the general manager of Ford Asia Division.
Already.
"In addition, I am also planning to let Qingjin Clothing launch Ford co-branded clothes. In addition, Langyan Games will launch a traffic jam arcade game next year, which will focus on Ford models."
Chu Huan told William Ford about Ford's marketing strategy, which made William Ford's eyes light up. He was very happy that Ford could find a partner like Chu Huan in Asia.
This is Chu Huan's influence in Asia. He can easily increase Ford's influence in the shortest possible time based on the influence of each company under his name.
And Chu Huan was also very happy, because none of these things were done in vain. The companies under his name that helped promote Ford cars had to charge advertising fees.
This alone is enough for Jiaku companies to increase their advertising expenses by US$5 million per year.
US$5 million in the 1970s was already a lot!
It can be said that the two parties had a very happy conversation. In the end, Chu Huan introduced Cui Weihua to William Ford. Like other previous businesses, after Chu Huan finalized the general development direction, he would hand over the specific matters to the specific person.
People do it.
The person responsible for cooperating with William Ford in the Ford Motor Asia Business Unit is Cui Weihua, the financial department manager of Jiaku Consulting Company. Now Cui Weihua is not only the financial department manager of Jiaku Consulting Company, but also concurrently serves as the deputy general manager of Ford Motor Asia Business Unit.
On the other side, Zheng Zhouyong, who had completed his work in Hong Kong, did not stop in Hong Kong. He only stayed for one night and got on a plane to return to South Korea today, while Zheng Mengzhen flew back to North America.
At the same time, Ke Wanchang and others also took a flight back to South Korea today.
After arriving in Seoul, Ke Wanchang and others couldn't wait to buy several South Korean newspapers on the street, hoping to read the South Korean reports about Zheng Zhouyong flying to Hong Kong to apologize.
As a result, what surprised Ke Wanchang and others was that there was no report on this aspect in South Korean newspapers. The news that was so loud in Hong Kong did not even have any reports in South Korea!
"This is the influence of Hyundai Group in South Korea!"
Ke Wanchang sighed after flipping through the newspaper in his hand several times.
The rest of the people also made similar sighs.
Chu Huan learned the news soon, but Chu Huan didn't care about it because Chu Huan now had a new problem.
I don’t know who spread the news that Hehe International wants to acquire Wheelock.
