The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang Chapter 300

  Chapter 300 Business Intelligence Warfare (7K chapters, please subscribe~)

  When the time entered late April, the new town of Shatian, Xiangjiang became lively.

  Because the two 10,000-person factories built here were completed at the same time after more than three months!

  Youth Toy Factory, Struggle Printing Factory!

  These two factories belong to the wholly-owned subsidiaries of "Fantasy Comics". On the day of completion, "Fantasy Comics" editor-in-chief Yasuo Kamakura, deputy editor-in-chief Masaru Tomioka, and Zhong Zhichen all attended in costumes, accompanied by officials from the Hong Kong government.

   Such a completion ceremony attracted countless reporters from Xiangjiang.

  However, the most common question asked by the reporters on the scene was why Chu Huan, who is the real boss of "Fantasy Comics", didn't show up?

   You must know that during this period of time, although Chu Huan did not appear in front of the media in such a high-profile way as last year, the companies under Chu Huan still made big moves.

  For example, Chu Huan did not show up at the groundbreaking ceremony of the Tseung Kwan O studio, the groundbreaking ceremony of Huaye City, the press conference for the establishment of Toys R Us by "Fantasy Comics", and the completion ceremony of the two factories now.

  After entering 1974, the only thing Chu Huan appeared in Xiangjiang media newspapers was the report on Chu Huan and Li Xiaolong a few days ago.

   But that was just a sneak shot, not an official appearance.

   "Our chairman is busy with his own work, so he didn't come over!"

   Yasuo Kamakura can already speak Cantonese very fluently at this time.

   Obviously, his answer was not acceptable to the reporters at the scene.

   "It is rumored that Chu Huan is seriously ill and is currently receiving treatment in Europe. Is this true?"

  A person who used to appear in front of everyone suddenly disappeared, which naturally caused people to have a lot of suspicion.

  However, the reporter's imagination has always been rich, but today's richness is a bit too much, and he actually thinks that Chu Huan is seriously ill.

   "Some people say that Chu Huan and his fiancée Cao Yunshang are traveling in Europe. Is this true?"

  Some people knew about Cao Yunshang's trip to Europe, but they didn't know what Cao Yunshang was doing, so they guessed that Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang were traveling in Europe!

   "No Comments!"

   Yasuo Kamakura replied with a dark face, what is this all about!

  In the end, it was the reporter of "True Pao" who brought the matter back to the right track and asked about the two factories.

  First of all, their first concern is naturally the factory employees.

  Both factories claim to be factories with ten thousand people, which can be regarded as super factories in Xiangjiang.

  Reporters naturally wonder if the number of workers is as large as it should be.

   Yasuo Kamakura then seriously replied: "The number of employees in the Struggle Printing Factory has reached 10,000, and the number of workers in the Youth Toy Factory is now only 6,000!"

  6000 people?

   This number puzzled the reporters on the scene.

  However, Yasuo Kamakura's answer later solved their doubts. The workers in the printing factory have low technical content, so it is easier to recruit, while the workers in the toy factory need a certain technical content, so the recruitment is relatively slow.

After answering the questions of many reporters, the officials of the Hong Kong government also expressed their gratitude to the two factories. Employment pressure.

  The stock market crashed in March 1973, and the Middle East war in October.

  This has caused Xiangjiang to suffer greatly. A large number of companies have closed down, and countless workers have taken to the streets.

  What is the most popular on the streets of Xiangjiang now?

   Bearing this burden, there are the most people doing business!

  Although 16,000 jobs cannot solve too many problems for the employment environment in Hong Kong at this time, it is not bad!

  According to statistics from Xiangjiang Bureau of Statistics, the company that solves the most employment problems at one time this year is "Fantasy Comics"!

  For this matter, before the completion of the two factories, MacLehose specially consulted Chu Huan to express his gratitude to the Hong Kong government.

   After all, 16,000 jobs actually mean that there are 16,000 families behind them, and the lives of nearly 80,000 people are guaranteed.

  The whole of Xiangjiang has only more than 4 million people now!

  After the completion ceremony, Yasuo Kamakura first sent off the officials of the Hong Kong government, and then came to the director's office of the Youth Toy Factory.

  As for Chu Huan, who was asked by the reporters where he was, he was actually in the director's office of the Youth Toy Factory at this time.

   It's just that Chu Huan's expression is not very good at this time.

  Because at this time, Chu Huan finally knew what Feng Muying of Lifeng Toys was planning to meet with those Xiangjiang toy manufacturers.

  It was just speculation before, but now it is a conclusion!

   That is, they joined forces to cut off the raw material supply of the Youth Toy Factory!

  The three Yasuo Kamakura walked in, and when they saw Chu Huan with a gloomy face, they were also a little trembling.

  Seeing their expressions, Chu Huan waved his hands and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, it's because I was a little careless before!"

  Zhong Zhichen is the person who is most familiar with the factory, after all, this office is his now!

   "Chairman, I have already asked the matter clearly. These toy manufacturers in Xiangjiang united to put pressure on the raw material manufacturers in Taiwan Island, and they did these things!"

  Before, when Chu Huan learned about Lifeng Toys joining forces with other toy manufacturers in Xiangjiang from Yutoubiao, he had already told Zhong Zhichen to contact the raw material suppliers on Taiwan Island in time.

   But even if there is an advance contact, the other party can still play tricks on the delivery time, delivery quality, and delivery quantity. There is a way to prevent you from starting work according to the original plan!

  Chu Huan laughed back angrily, "Since they want to fight, let's fight. I'll take care of this matter. You start production according to the current inventory!"

  Youth Toys Factory must have some stocks, but these stocks will definitely not be able to meet the demand for the release of "Fantasy Comics" peripheral toys in June!

  Zhong Zhichen could only nod his head and say, "Understood!"

  Chu Huan continued to ask: "In addition, how is the construction of our toy flagship stores in various parts of Europe going?"

  Before, Zhong Zhichen suggested to Yasuo Kamakura that by taking advantage of the global influence of "Fantasy Manga", he would build his own toy flagship stores in major cities, so as to open up the global sales channels of "Fantasy Manga" peripherals.

   To put it simply, it is to use the sales volume to let those toy dealers understand the influence of "Fantasy Comics". As long as they have this influence, it will be much easier to cooperate with those toy dealers or continue to establish their own chain stores.

Since we want to build our own toy flagship stores in major cities around the world, this includes the relatively stable capitals of Southeast Asian countries, Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya in Japan, London in Europe, Paris in France, Rome in Italy and other developed countries. Important cities in the country, as well as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Las Vegas, etc. in North America.

  That requires a lot of cash.

  According to the joint analysis of the operation team of Jiaku Consulting Company and the management of "Fantasy Comics", this fund is as high as 300 million US dollars!

   Naturally, this fund was not available for "Fantasy Comics" at this time, so in the end Chu Huan decided to use the most important European market as a pilot and build his own flagship store in cities in various developed countries in Europe.

   But even so, it still requires an investment of 100 million US dollars!

  Even with the profits of the past few months, plus the remaining 50 million Hong Kong dollars after deducting the 130 million Hong Kong dollars invested by "Fantasy Comics" in Hong Kong, at this time, "Fantasy Comics" has a total of 167 million Hong Kong dollars in its account!

   There is still a long way to go to 100 million US dollars!

   In desperation, Chu Huan had no choice but to find the Bank of East Asia, North American Express Bank, and Pangu Bank of Thailand for a joint loan with "Fantasy Comics", and they lent a total of 400 million Hong Kong dollars!

  North American Express Bank and Thai Pangu Bank have their own branches in Xiangjiang.

  This is enough to deal with the establishment of its own flagship store in Europe for toys around "Fantasy Comics".

  Zhong Zhichen said excitedly: "It will definitely open when Youth Toys is on the market!"

  Chu Huan nodded in satisfaction.

   This is the good news of the bad news.

   "How is Luo Jiemu's animation going?" Chu Huan continued to ask.

   "Transformers" animation is the most important means of publicity for youth toys, Chu Huan must ensure that there are no problems in this regard.

Zhong Zhichen replied: "After the first revision, their animation has met the requirements of Chairman Ni, and is now in the process of urgent production. In addition, the company has sent the animation of the first episode to major TV stations around the world. Talk to them about the airing."

The animation of "Transformers" is free of charge, and it is free for you to broadcast. "Fantasy Comics" is already well-known all over the world at this time, and the IP of "Transformers" is also very popular. People from major TV stations still quite satisfied.

   According to the materials Zhong Zhichen sent before, they are still very inclined to broadcast it.

   After asking these important questions, Chu Huan got up and prepared to leave. What he has to do now is to deal with the raw materials of toys.

  Xiangjiang is too small. Although the manufacturing industry is developed, the supply of raw materials requires the supply of raw materials from Taiwan Island and Southeast Asia.

  Wait until the 1980s, the small disadvantage of Xiangjiang will be further highlighted. The most effective proof is that the manufacturing industry began to decline. At that time, most of the factories in Xiangjiang will be relocated to their hometowns.

  In the end, Xiangjiang was reduced to a city of castles in the air when Chu Huan was reborn.

  Although the manufacturing industry does not seem to want real estate, finance, and later the Internet to make money, it is the foundation of a region and a country!

  Whenever this region, this country's manufacturing industry is in serious crisis, this region, this country is really in danger!

  Back to Jiahu Building, Chu Huan met Qiao Yuehan, the head of the operation team of Jiaku Consulting Company!

   That's right, the leader of the operation team of Jiaku Consulting Company is a ghost, a North American, who is already 41 years old!

  Before, he was the manager of the investment department of Xiangjiang North American Express Bank, but was hired by Chu Huan at a high price.

  Joe and John came with Jiang Zishan, 38 years old, from the second group of the operation group.

Jiang Zishan is not an unknown person. He used to be the deputy general manager of Xiangjiang Wing On Department Store, but because he was not from the Yongan Guo family, he was hit hard in the company. Later, Jiang Zishan even proposed that the department store market in Xiangjiang Although it is still the world of Xianshi and Yongan, the retail industry in the outside world is already dominated by supermarkets. Not to mention the outside world, there are supermarkets like Wellcome and ParknShop in Xiangjiang.

  As the economic development of Xiangjiang is getting better and better, department stores outside will definitely enter Xiangjiang in the future, so Jiang Zishan thinks that Yongan Department Store should prepare for this matter now.

   As a result, this matter was not only not approved by the Guo family, but also kicked out by the Guo family!

  After the investigation team of Jiaku Consulting Company learned about this incident, they immediately reported to Chu Huan. After Chu Huan knew the reason why Jiang Zishan was kicked out of Yongan Department Store, he decided to recruit Jiang Zishan into Jiaku Consulting Company!

  There is no other reason. In the future Xiangjiang department store market, the Japanese-funded department store market will indeed become the most important enemy of the Chinese-funded department store market.

   In fact, there is no need to wait for a few more years. In the 1970s, Hong Kong had already entered the Japanese department store market!

  Daimaru Department Store opened in Causeway Bay, becoming the first Japanese-funded department store to enter Xiangjiang, and its major Chinese-funded shareholder is the Zhang Zhushan family who lived and ate and lived with the Chu family.

  In the mid-1970s, Japanese department stores such as Matsuitaya, Isetan, Tokyu, Jusco, and Mitsukoshi came to Hong Kong to open large stores.

   Further squeezed the market share of the Chinese-funded department store market!

  Jiang Zishan can have this view now, which shows that he is a very far-sighted person.

  A library consulting company needs people with vision and ideas.

  After the two came in, Chu Huan didn't talk nonsense and preached directly.

   "You two, it is similar to what we guessed before. The other party is indeed jointly putting pressure on the raw material suppliers in Taiwan, which has caused problems in our company's raw material supply!"

   Before this, Chu Huan had already discussed this matter with the two of them.

  Joe John did not show any worried expression, and said with a smile: "Chairman, I can leave for Thailand to discuss with local raw material suppliers now!"

how to say!

  Before this, most of the raw material suppliers of Xiangjiang toy manufacturing came from Taiwan Island, but this does not mean that the raw materials needed for toy manufacturing must come from Taiwan Island.

   It's just that everyone has such a habitual idea at the beginning.

  Thinking that by restraining the suppliers of raw materials in Taiwan, Chu Huan can be restrained to get raw materials.

   But in fact, the raw material supplier of Taiwan Island is only the largest supplier in Xiangjiang, but it is not the only one!

  Taiwan's raw material supplier became the largest supplier in Xiangjiang's toy industry, not only because of the output of the other party, but also because of a series of things such as transportation, payment transactions, and quality assurance.

  If you don't use Taiwan's raw material suppliers, the transportation cost alone will be higher than other places.

   Of course, there is also the method of payment for goods, which currency is more suitable for transaction, and if the quality is not up to standard, it will also involve issues such as return, exchange, and refund.

   This all requires an increase in cost!

  So these toy manufacturers in Xiangjiang have the confidence to unite to boycott Chu Huan!

   After all, the increase in cost means the decrease in profit, which is a real loss!

  Chu Huan naturally understood this truth, so Chu Huan didn't want to change suppliers unless necessary.

   But now, since the toy manufacturer in Xiangjiang has already done this, Chu Huan can only choose the raw material supplier in Thailand.

   Now it depends on who can bear the loss better.

  Chu Huan did this, which increased the cost and reduced the profit!

  The toy manufacturers in Xiangjiang definitely lost the customer of Youth Toys, but when the Youth Toys Factory was ready to build, they had actually lost, so their losses were actually minimal.

  Li & Fung Toys, they also lost the customer of Youth Toys, but they could have become a partner of Youth Toys, so their loss is not small in this way.

   And who is the biggest loser?

  In fact, those raw material suppliers on Taiwan Island, because they really lost the customer of youth toys.

  So this time it is a game between Chu Huan and other toy manufacturers in Xiangjiang, Li & Fung Group, and it is also a game between Chu Huan and Taiwan's raw material suppliers!

   Whichever family can't bear such a loss first will surrender first.

  The result of surrender is that from now on, the right to speak will be lost in the case of cooperation between the two parties!

Jiang Zishan said helplessly: "I don't know what those raw material suppliers in Taiwan Island think, don't they know that this cooperation with those toy manufacturers in Xiangjiang is actually the biggest loss for them? ?”

Qiao Yuehan sat there proudly, waving his hands and preaching: "No, no, no, their loss is big because we know that we have contacted the raw material suppliers in Thailand and solved the shipping problem at the same time. Raw material suppliers do not know this.

In their view, we will definitely not accept the economic loss caused by changing suppliers, so in the end, we will definitely give in to them. As long as we give in to them, then in terms of pricing, they will have A certain right to speak, and this will bring them more wealth.

  So they are not stupid at all, it's just that the intelligence gathering is insufficient! "

  The biggest cost of switching suppliers is actually the transportation cost, but who made Chu Huan the son-in-law of Cao Chuanwang in Xiangjiang.

   In addition, Cao Chuanwang still has a batch of oil purchased from Chu Huan at a low price in his hands. Compared with the two, if Chu Huan uses Thai raw materials instead, it will not cost much more.

  Chu Huan nodded, and said: "Since the matter is a foregone conclusion now, John, you should go to Thailand!"

  Joe John was able to become the manager of the investment department of Xiangjiang North American Express Bank before, so the relationship network is naturally deep. In fact, this supplier in Thailand was also contacted by Qiao John!

  Joe John nodded and said: "No problem, I will fly to Thailand tomorrow!"

   After discussing the details, the two left Chu Huan's office, and Xu Yi walked in.

   "Boss, Qin Tianheng from Tianhua Toys is here, and I want to meet the boss!"

  Chu Huan was slightly taken aback, and asked with a smile, "Why is he here?"

  Xu Yi shook his head and said: "The other party didn't say anything, but I think it should be for the raw materials of youth toys!"

  Chu Huan nodded and said, "Please come in!"

   After a while, under the leadership of Xu Yi, Qin Tianheng walked in.

   "Young Master Qin, how come you have time to come to my place today!" Chu Huan sat there and asked with a smile.

  Qin Tianheng looked at Chu Huan's complex expression, and asked in confusion: "I really don't understand, it's this time, you can still laugh, President Chu!"

   Obviously, Qin Tianheng already knew about the relationship between youth toys and raw material suppliers.

  Chu Huan asked: "So, Young Master Qin came to see a joke?"

Qin Tianheng shook his head and said: "I did have such an idea before I came here, but I know you better than those people. Although I don't know what you can do about this matter, I understand that those people are definitely not your opponents. ?”

  Chu Huan asked with some interest: "Why are you so sure?"

  Qin Tianheng said: "If those people are really capable, they won't be suppressed by our Qin family forever!"

   There are many toy manufacturers in Xiangjiang, including Cai Zhiming, known as the toy king in later generations, and Chen Dahe, known as the father of the Ninja Turtles. They are not the opponents of the Qin family now.

  So when Qin Tianheng said these words in front of Chu Huan at this time, he was very confident.

  Chu Huan asked: "Then why did Young Master Qin come to my place this time?"

Qin Tianheng smiled and said: "Of course I'm on the team. I used to face you, Huan Shao, and chose the wrong team. Our Qin family's Tianhua toys almost changed hands. Since we are not your opponent, then we naturally hope to be yours." comrades!

  In fact, we are all comrades-in-arms now! "

  Among all the toy manufacturers in Xiangjiang, Tianhua Toys is the only one that has obtained the right to manufacture the peripherals of "Fantasy Comics"!

  Chu Huan looked at Qin Tianheng at this time and felt a sense of reacquaintance. This is not the same Qin Tianheng in his impression at all!

   "Young Master Qin, have you ever seen a palm technique that descended from the sky?"

  Qin Tianheng was taken aback by Chu Huan's sudden words, and didn't understand what Chu Huan meant.

   "President Chu, what do you mean?"

  Chu Huan laughed and said, "It's nothing, just say whatever you want."

   It seems that the other party should not have been taken away by some rebirth guy, but it is right to think about it. Basically, there can only be one rebirth person in a cosmic plane. This is basically an iron rule!

  Qin Tianheng waved his hands and said, "Director Chu, let's get down to business!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "I don't know how Young Master Qin plans to stand in line?"

  Qin Tianheng said: "It's simple. Our Tianhua Toys pays for raw materials. No matter how much raw materials Huan Shao's youth toys need, our Tianhua Toys can provide them, and there is no price increase."

  Chu Huan praised: "Young Master Qin's doing this is a big deal. I don't know if it's your idea or Mr. Qin's idea?"

  Qin Tianheng said with some pride: "I proposed it, and my grandfather agreed!"

  Chu Huan asked: "Young Master Qin, do you know what your childhood and mine are, are they all the same?"

  Qin Tianheng was born with a black line on his forehead.

  Chu Huan laughed again, and said, "I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding, Young Master Qin, your growth really makes me admire!"

  Qin Tianheng smiled wryly, and said: "You have been beaten so many times by President Chu, if I don't grow up, then I will really be a waste!"

  Chu Huan said: "Then tell me about your conditions, Young Master Qin. I believe that you Tianhua Toys risked offending the entire Xiangjiang toy manufacturer to help us. You will definitely not help us in vain, right?"

  Qin Tianheng didn't hide anything, and said: "In addition to the exclusive authorization of "Transformers", there are also exclusive production rights for several other comic books!"

  Before, Qin Shihong took Qin Tianheng to find Chu Huan, and proposed to cooperate with Chu Huan. In the end, Chu Huan agreed to Qin Shihong in order to have an extra insurance.

  However, after discussion, "Fantasy Comics" finally only agreed to authorize Tianhua Toys to be the exclusive manufacturer of "Transformers" peripherals besides youth toys.

  The rest of the surrounding area did not agree, and now Qin Tianheng came here for this matter.

   "At the same time, our Qin family also hopes to get a promise from President Chu!"

  Chu Huan asked noncommittal: "What promise?"

  Qin Tianheng said: "If I encounter any problems in the process of taking over Tianhua Toys in the future, I hope Director Chu can help!"

  Chu Huan laughed, "Young Master Qin probably added this matter yourself, right?"

  Qin Tianheng didn't change his face, and said: "I also hope that Chairman Chu can agree!"

  Chu Huan did not agree to Qin Tianheng immediately, nor did he tell Qin Tianheng that he had actually contacted a raw material manufacturer in Thailand.

  Chu Huan is seriously considering Qin Tianheng's suggestion!

  Although I have already contacted the raw material supplier in Thailand, with the help of Tianhua Toys, I can get rid of those annoying people faster.

   And you can get raw materials at low prices, which is indeed a good business.

  As for authorizing Tianhua Toys to produce peripheral toys for other comics of "Fantasy Comics", it is actually a good choice. First of all, although Youth Toys is a factory with ten thousand people, compared to the future scale of Youth Toys, it is definitely not enough.

  At that time, Chu Huan will face two decisions. The first is whether to expand the youth toy factory, and the second is when to build a factory in his hometown.

However, it will take more time. In addition, if I have an additional partner of Tianhua Toys, it will also provide an additional guarantee. Just like this time, if I have not asked Qiao John to contact the raw material manufacturer in Thailand, it will be more difficult. trouble.

  At the same time, this also coincides with Chu Huan's previous idea of ​​forming a business alliance!

   "No problem, I can promise you both conditions!"

   Qin Tianheng, who got Chu Huan's consent, suddenly smiled. This was the first thing he led, and he had already achieved success.

  Even in Qin Tianheng's view, obtaining the peripheral production rights of other comics of "Fantasy Comics" is not as important as the latter guarantee.

  Although my grandfather has decided to let me succeed Tianhua Toys, the process is not smooth.

   After all, there is still a second uncle watching over him!

   That was his grandfather's son after all, and Qin Tianheng also understood what Qin Shihong meant during the chat with Qin Shihong. Qin Shihong hoped that his second uncle would stay in the company to help him.

   But can he really help?

   Also, the next chapter is at 8 am~·
