In the morning, Lin Zuhui came to the office of Leit Group. A piece of news in the newspaper made him vigilant.
The content of the news is probably: Ye Jihuan, who has been wanted for seven years, entered Hong Kong with arms, had a firefight with Hong Kong police, was injured and was arrested.
The news itself was not worth his vigilance, but Lin Zuhui knew that Ye Jihuan had been arrested, and Zhang Ziqiang was behind the plan to kidnap the rich man, and he was about to take action soon.
Is the target one you and your family?
In this life, Lin Zuhui is the richest man in Xiangjiang, and his financial resources far exceed those of Li Chaoren.
Therefore, Zhang Ziqiang may not choose Lin Zuhui and his family.
However, Lin Zuhui was not too nervous. The security force of the Lin family is very strong. Zhang Ziqiang even brought a submachine gun and explosive packs, but it was of no avail. First of all, the car was a specially made bulletproof and anti-explosion car. Secondly, the security was from European and American security experts, Xiangjiang Flying Tigers.
Team, an elite force composed of Gurkha mercenaries, and the security vehicles are all bulletproof.
However, he still called the security company consultant Bolt to his office and asked him to strengthen the security force for himself, Wang Lingyin and his two sons. Then he notified Qixian to ask them not to return to Hong Kong for a while.
After doing this, Lin Zuhui stopped paying attention and didn't care.
With the increase in social status and age (31 years old), Lin Zuhui no longer has too many impulses.
It seems that a rich man like him has many ways to deal with Zhang Ziqiang, but in fact there is no way. Just ask someone to kill Zhang Ziqiang, his wife and children. It can be done, but if he is suspected, what will happen to his reputation?
The impact is too great.
Not worth it for the money!
What's more, Zhang Ziqiang's gang has several backbones and dozens of members, all of whom are desperadoes. You can't find out the list and kill them all. If Hong Kong is still in chaos, it will simply be more harm than good. And if you are suspected
, Lin Zuhui will also become the object of disgust by the citizens of Xiangjiang, and his reputation will be ruined in the world.
So, it’s just money, the rich don’t care at all!
It is easier for rich people to steal money. Take Lin Zuhui as an example. During a financial crisis, he could rob tens of billions or even hundreds of billions.
It's all money grabbing, but it's still legal for the rich. Do you think it's irritating?
In his previous life, Zhang Ziqiang kidnapped Li Zeju. Some people said that Zhang Ziqiang defeated Li Chaoru.
Let’s ask if one lives until 1998 and the other is still alive in 2022;
One lives in the darkness and the other lives in the sunshine.
Who wins in the end is obviously a matter of opinion and wisdom!
Lin Zuhui also knew that starting from this year, Hong Kong would not be peaceful for two or three years, so he rushed his concubine overseas.
After all, the more people there are in Xiangjiang, the more distractions he needs.
"Dongdong"
"Come in"
Chen Shiwen, president of Leit Group, walked in respectfully and sat on the sofa.
He is the president of Leit Group, and in the eyes of outsiders he is the ‘number one’; in fact, this is indeed the case.
In all of Lin Zuhui's group companies, the position of president/general manager is held by outsiders, which is rare among Xiangjiang family businesses.
Generally speaking, even if the family does not have a suitable candidate, this position is held concurrently by the chairman of the board of directors until the children grow up; the most senior executives can become executive directors, deputy general managers or subsidiary presidents/general managers.
Why is Lin Zuhui's company like this?
In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, Lin Zuhui's career is not under a group model, otherwise he would not need to let go of the group president.
After the financial crisis, Lin Zuhui planned to plan New Era Group to merge with Leit Group. Even so, Lin Zuhui still had many groups that could not be merged, or mergers would be of no benefit.
Chen Shiwen reported the work of Leit Group to Lin Zuhui in a brief way; he knew that the boss did not want to hear the tedious process, but only wanted to hear the results. The most important part of this result was the completion of the 'results' of the big policies set by the boss.
.
After listening to the report, Lin Zuhui asked: "How is the current development of Uniqlo, JeansWest's biggest rival?"
Chen Shiwen said: "UNIQLO's business is almost only in Japan, with about 200 stores at present. Although Jeanswest only has 80 stores in Japan, we have relied on the single product 'polar fleece sweater' in the past two years, plus the comprehensive
We have done better in all aspects, so our performance is not inferior to Japan's local brand Uniqlo. To put it simply, the turnover of our 80 stores is almost the turnover of Uniqlo's 100 to 120 stores. Of course, the 'polar fleece sweaters'
'The contribution is huge, but Uniqlo also released its own polar fleece product in December last year. It seems that they have followed our example and succeeded."
When Lin Zuhui thought about it, to put it bluntly, JeansWest was imitated by Uniqlo in the previous life. Although Uniqlo had a local advantage, JeansWest had an even greater advantage. Therefore, it should be a good achievement to defeat Uniqlo in Japan.
You know, Jeanswest still has 150 stores in Asia, and the overall number of stores is still more than 30 more than Uniqlo.
However, Lin Zuhui dare not take a peek at the Japanese. Their business skills are worthy of vigilance. It may not be impossible for Uniqlo to overtake JeansWest in the future. After all, some brands have advantages in the early stage, but in the long run their advantages will disappear.
"Is Uniqlo still expanding its stores?"
"Yes, Yanai Tadashi seems to be unwilling to accept our success in Japan, and plans to win with the number of stores, and then control costs and squeeze out our space. Therefore, they have significantly accelerated the pace of opening stores recently. It seems that next summer their store number will exceed 300
It’s around!”
Lin Zuhui thought for a while and said: "Ignore them! All our brands must reduce the number of stores opened, and some brands may even have to stop expansion, such as fashion retail. The crocodile shirt brand only needs to expand appropriately in the mainland.
That’s it. JeansWest and Zuordano will both reduce store expansion.”
Chen Shiwen didn't understand. Leit Group had sufficient funds, with nearly 5 billion in stocks and cash. It was a very wealthy group. However, he also wondered whether the boss had any foresight about the Asian economy.
"OK"
After many years of cooperation, Chen Shiwen knows that his boss’s view of the general trend is never wrong.
At this time, Leit Group has added a new sports series - Xtep. This brand has everything ready. On July 1st, 32 stores were officially opened, of which 31 stores are located in first- and second-tier cities in the mainland, and 1 is located in Xiangjiang. Not only
Not only that, the store is still expanding rapidly.
Regarding the development of this brand, Lin Zuhui said that it is to disparage mainland sports brands.
Of course, it's like the period when domestic sports brands competed for hegemony in the previous life. At that time, many brands made a lot of money. However, the good times did not last long. With the advent of the Internet era, only Anta and Li Ning survived in the end, and the other brands were just hanging on.
One of the biggest reasons for this is that the living standards of the Chinese have improved. Nike and Adidas, which used to be very expensive, are now common consumer goods. Since you can afford them, why not buy products with added value, brand name, and higher quality?
Therefore, Lin Zuhui decided to make Xtep the same level as Anta and Li Ning, or even slightly better. In a few years, after Leit Group acquires Fila, Lin Zuhui will build another brand of the same level as Nike and Adidas.
At this time, Xtep had already signed contracts with Sun Wen and Kong Jihui in China, and the price was not expensive. The eight years of signing the contract had basically consumed their reputation. Of course, Xtep would have to continue to sponsor domestic sports in the later period.

At the end of May, Hong Kong media reported that Li Zeju had been kidnapped and that the ransom was as high as 1 billion. Public opinion exploded for a while.
However, the Li family, who were the victims, remained tight-lipped about the matter and did not disclose any information. Even when the Hong Kong police came to inquire, Li Chaoren denied it.
In this regard, the British Hong Kong government expressed its disappointment with the Lee family's "uncooperation".
At the same time, Lin Zuhui's family was also affected by this public opinion. Everyone said that Lin Zuhui had planned it long ago, so he had insisted on careful security for many years.
Otherwise, the target this time might be a member of the Lin Zuhui family. After all, there was no suspense about who was the richest in Xiangjiang two years ago.
Sitting in the office, Lin Zuhui was thinking, should he make arrangements and find someone to snipe Zhang Ziqiang's wife and children?
It's not that he hates Zhang Ziqiang, but if this happens, Li Chaoren will definitely be in trouble, and Lin Zuhui will have fewer opponents in the future?
After all, whether it is Zhang Ziqiang's revenge or the public opinion in Hong Kong, it is enough for Li Chaoren to bear.
However, this evil idea only flashed through Lin Zuhui's mind and then disappeared without a trace. Lin Zuhui even concluded that when he had this idea, it was the thoughts from his previous life that dominated his brain.
After all, in this life, he is already very calm-minded and will not use illegal means just because of competition.
At the same time, Lin Zuhui no longer needs to pay attention to Zhang Ziqiang for the time being. He knows Zhang Ziqiang well and knows that Zhang Ziqiang will not continue to make money after at least a year. After all, he has just made money and must spend it seriously.
.......
No. 78 Deep Water Bay, the Lee family.
Li Chaoren called his two sons to the study and seriously reflected: "We have not paid attention to our own safety, which led to this disaster. To be honest, more than 1 billion is a small thing to us, but it will
It will definitely feel uncomfortable if your life is in the hands of others. Boss, don’t feel any pressure. If you are doing big things, don’t be afraid of making small mistakes!"
Li Zeju was not abused by Zhang Ziqiang, so he said: "Thank you Baba for your concern. Don't worry, I have no burden in my heart."
What Li Chaoren did this time indeed prevented Zhang Ziqiang from abusing Li Zeju.
"Next, I will strengthen the security measures for my family. Don't resist me. Sometimes you can't help yourself, and the robbers are reasonable."
"Okay, Baba!"
Li Chaoren added: "Through this incident, I admire Lin Zuhui even more! No matter how others judge him as 'greedy for life and afraid of death', looking at it now, others have predicted this day! Assuming it is not Lin's
The family's security measures are tight, and our Li family may not become a target."
Li Da and Li Er nodded one after another. With Lin Zuhui's financial resources and luxurious life, logically speaking, they are the primary targets of the kidnappers. But the kidnappers are not stupid either. If they fail, they may be wanted by the police.
