The Industrial Giant Reborn

After discussing the details of Snake Eating for a while, Chen Zhiwen called Lei Shengli over, got to know him for a while, and then introduced a colleague to Woz. This person will represent Midea Electronics, go to the United States to assist Woz, and at the same time be in charge of the entire branch. The establishment of the company and the recruitment of personnel. After all, people like Woz are only suitable for researching technology. It is better to have professional people in management. Of course, there is also the purpose of supervision. In the era without the Internet, it is difficult to control the branch outside. It is much more convenient for people.

After the two got acquainted with each other, Chen Zhiwen arranged for Midea's technical team to go to a nearby mountain for team building, just to get acquainted with each other.

The first step of the arcade is almost ready, and the rest has to wait for Woz to develop the software and hardware before officially entering this limitless market.

A few days later, in a mysterious building in Central, Lin Yanming went through a lot of procedures, filled out a lot of documents, and finally met the person he wanted to see.

"You are?" Du Guoming, who looked haggard, was stunned when he saw the visitor. He didn't know him at all.

Ever since he was brought in by the ICAC, he knew he was doomed. The police found tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars in cash and gold jewelry in his home, and also found several properties owned by his wife. With his income, it is impossible to have these , But fortunately, he is not a public servant, and these are not hard evidence, but they are enough to keep him detained here.

In the face of professional investigators, a rookie like him knew that he would not be able to resist for a few days. Therefore, he always hoped that the company would come to rescue him quickly. As long as the company came forward, there might be a chance.

When he knew that someone was going to see him, he suddenly had hope, because since he came in, his family members couldn't see him, so it must be related to him being able to come in now, it should be someone from the company, but now he finds out that he is not .

"Du Sheng, my name is Lin Yanming, and I'm the manager of the legal department of Galaxy Group. You should know about our company." Lin Yanming put away his sunglasses and sat down with a smile.

"Xinghe?" Du Guoming had heard of it of course, and knew that he would come in because the owner of the Hilton Hotel, Xinghe Group, launched a criminal investigation against him.

"Du Sheng, I only have ten minutes, so I'll make a long story short. Our target is not you. You are just unlucky and hit the gun." Lin Yanming said with a smile: "As long as you can provide us with what we need, I will I can promise you that the Galaxy Group will give up the prosecution against you, private bribery is a self-reported case, as long as we don't pursue it, there is no legal responsibility at all."

"If you don't pursue it, what about the Hilton Hotel?" Du Guoming said with a dull look: "You both are interested parties, and you can both initiate lawsuits against employees' financial problems. Isn't it the same who I offended? ?”

Since he came in, he knew that he must be just a pawn, because he knew that the hotel cheated the owner last quarter, and he quickly went to court because of this, but he didn't expect that the capital of the two parties would conflict and would put his first A crush to death.

Now caught in the middle, as long as any party is held accountable, the police can continue to investigate.

"You don't have to worry about this. After we clean up Hilton's current management, we will ask them to give up pursuing you, but you have to spit out what you have gained over the years." Lin Yanming said calmly. After so many years, This moth probably made hundreds of thousands of dollars. Just by vomiting it out, Xinghe can get back some of the money he spent on this matter during this period of time.

"Really?" Du Guoming seemed to have grasped the straw.

"Of course, we will not completely fall out with Hilton Hotel, we just want to get back what belongs to us." Lin Yanming said.

"It's just the core financial data within the company. There are only a handful of people who have the right to know it. I don't know about it." Du Guoming said with some embarrassment.

"We know that the financial data is kept confidential, but some things are not working. I need a breakthrough. For example, the actual number of guests in the Hilton Hotel in the last quarter, how many people stayed in the guest room business you are in charge of, and the prices of different suites. This real data, I will use the data that Hilton Hotel gave to our owner, as long as there is an obvious abnormal gap, it will be enough." Lin Yanming said lightly.

How can such an idiot who collects money directly know the core financial secrets of the hotel? If he has reached this level, even if he wants to make money, he will not be so direct. The police obtained the data and compared it with the data provided by Hilton to the owner. If there is a big gap, it must be suspected of economic fraud. This is enough reason to apply for the ICAC to conduct a large-scale audit of the Hilton hotel.

Of course, if the data is found to be different from what the hotel reported to the government, the fun will be even greater. Now that most of the transactions are cash transactions, it is normal to conceal them.

"I have this data, but it's all inside the company, and I can't get these documents out." Du Guoming said with some embarrassment.

"You don't need source documents, just talk to the police, and they will apply for a search warrant," Lin Yanming said.

"I need to think about it again." Du Guoming thought for a while and said again.

"I'm not in a hurry. You should think about it carefully. The time is up. I hope to see Du Sheng outside next time." Lin Yanming said with a smile, then got up and left.

Under the arrangement of the police clerk, Lin Yanming came to an independent office.

"Hello Liu sir." After the door closed, Lin Yanming said with a smile and shook hands.

"Lin Sheng, please sit down. I've been busy recently. Next time I have a chance, I'll hold a banquet in person and treat Lin Sheng to a drink. I would also like to thank Lin Sheng for his donation to the police station." Senior Superintendent Liu Tianming greeted the guests with a smile Said.

Hong Kong’s police stations occasionally receive donations, but the last time they received a million Hong Kong dollars was still very rare. A donation of this size is enough for the Assistant Commissioner to come forward. However, the donor requested confidentiality, and the police naturally could not object , but still care about it internally.

"In the past two years, Hong Kong's business environment has improved significantly, and we should serve the Hong Kong community." Lin Yanming said with a smile.

The donation of one million Hong Kong dollars is naturally handwritten by Xinghe. This donation can be connected with the police. They are law-abiding and legal operators, and they have no political needs. We know that the Hong Kong government has suffered serious deficits due to the real estate crisis and the oil crisis in the past two years. Although it is not enough to stop paying the police, other aspects are much worse than before. The demand for donations is now higher than in previous years.

The donor’s request is only to legally protect their own rights and interests, and the police will naturally cooperate fully. Unfortunately, the ICAC cannot accept donations, otherwise Xinghe will not be stingy, but the same is true for the police. The ICAC was only established, and many things are required. The police cooperated.

At the same time, the bigger purpose is that my boss will start to show goodwill to the government officials. In the future, the business will be big, and mutual benefit is also needed. Of course, it is not an illegal cooperation, and everything is within the legal framework.

"Please sit down." Liu Tianming greeted.

"Thank you." Lin Yanming said politely: "Liu sir, in the case of Du Guoming, in fact, you also know the purpose of our boss. I have explained everything to him just now, but he still seems hesitant. In this regard, I hope the police can solve the problem." Speed ​​up a little and let things settle down sooner."

"No problem, as long as he is willing to speak out, I also know people from the ICAC, and I can guarantee that the Hilton Hotel will not be able to afford it." Liu Tianming said with a smile.

"I heard that the Hilton Hotel is also using its own relationship. There will be no problem in this regard?" Lin Yanming asked.

"They have connections above, and so do we. Besides, we are actually investigating the case, and the evidence is sufficient. This is a case filed and investigated by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Who dares to intervene? We are taking advantage of the power of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. They are obstructing , the difficulty is not at the same level." Liu Tianming said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news." Lin Yanming nodded and smiled.

"Chen Sheng, everything is proceeding according to our plan. As long as Du Guoming is willing to prove otherwise, the Hilton Hotel will be in trouble." Lin Yanming said with a smile.

"Okay." Chen Zhiwen said lightly, although a lot of money and effort were spent on this matter, as long as the Hilton Hotel is deterred, there will be more profits in the future, not to mention that he has established a line with the police.

Waiting for the efficiency of the police station now!

Time flies, and soon it is 1975.

The business of the Red Bull factory has also seen a rare decrease in orders to a certain extent, because in the United States in winter, the overall sales of the beverage market have plummeted, including Coca-Cola and Pepsi and other carbonated beverage giants. There will be fewer people.

After producing a certain amount of reserves, Chen Zhiwen gave his employees paid leave on February 3 in advance, but some employees worked overtime overnight to renovate existing equipment, increase production capacity, and install equipment purchased from abroad. Debugging and small-scale trial production are planned to greatly increase the daily production capacity after the temperature rises and orders rise in the next year.

And the new factory cooperated with Zeng Zixing was also established in a low-key way. Although the total investment is less than one million Hong Kong dollars, because it is only for clothing production and the equipment is simple and cheap, Jinhe Garment recruited more than 300 people at the beginning of its establishment. , the current first product is socks, which are the clothing items that Laomei consumes the most. Although they are cheap, the quantity is really large.

After a period of time, when Jinhe Factory has enough skilled workers and a stable team, they can try to make relatively simple clothing products such as underwear, gloves, and short sleeves. As long as these can be done well, they can naturally try more complicated ones.

After walking around the factory, Zeng Zixing took Chen Zhiwen to a small restaurant nearby. There are relatively few gourmet restaurants famous for their spicy taste in Hong Kong here.

"It tastes good." Chen Zhiwen became excited after taking a few mouthfuls. Spicy + Sprite, a fairy combination, he also liked this combination in his previous life.

"I heard that Chen Sheng likes spicy food, and there is a restaurant nearby, but the quality is a bit lower." Zeng Zixing said with a flushed face from the spicy food. It seems that he can't eat spicy food very much, but he still likes it very much.

"It doesn't matter whether it's high-grade or not, as long as it's delicious." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, small restaurants also have their advantages. In his previous life, he would occasionally go to Sha County for a snack, and the taste was very good after not eating for a long time.

"Come, boss, fish head with chopped pepper." A man about 50 years old, wearing a chef's uniform, brought up the dish.

"Boss, did you come from the mainland?" Chen Zhiwen asked looking at the spicy fish head with chopped peppers.

"Yes, from Sichuan." The boss nodded and said.

"No wonder, this dish is very good." Chen Zhiwen praised.

The boss said with a smile: "With my level, I can still play around in Hong Kong. When we were in Sichuan, we were a production team and our cooking skills were better than mine. There are many."

"If I have a chance in the future, I have to try it." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"Boss eat first, I still have food to cook." The boss seemed a little busy, so he didn't pay any more attention to Chen Zhiwen and the two of them.

After the boss left, Zeng Zixing wiped off his sweat and asked, "Chen Sheng wants to go to the Mainland?"

Chen Zhiwen asked back, "You want to go too?"

"I've already been there." Zeng Zixing said with a smile: "There is a Canton Fair held in the Mainland every year. Some foreign businessmen will go there to see if there is any business to do. Generally, there are many people from Hong Kong. I last year Been there once."

"Canton Fair? What is the trade?" Chen Zhiwen asked curiously. He had heard of this name in later generations, but it was only a historical record. Naturally it fell.

"Many, mainly handicrafts, and some food products. The Canton Fair has a large area. I mainly go to see all kinds of textiles. Some domestic fabrics are very different from foreign ones." Zeng Zixing said simply.

"Textiles? How is the level of the domestic textile industry?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"It's quite different. As for the equipment, I have probably inquired about it. There is a shortage of domestic sewing machines with foot movement, and many of them are hand-stitched. The quality is uneven. Many foreign businessmen also choose some that look good. It's okay." Zeng Zixing said.

Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said: "Can't we place an order, we will set the quality requirements, and they will do it?"

"It's inconvenient, we can't go to other people's factories, we can only see the finished products at the Canton Fair, and many of them don't really care about whether we can cooperate, so under normal circumstances, we can place an order on the spot based on what we like. It’s gone, and it’s too troublesome to ask them to make customized products. Many factories can’t go to see it, and they don’t even have a phone call. How do you cooperate?” Zeng Zixing said with a smile.

"That's true, it's quite troublesome." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, the most important cooperation model after the opening in the future is three to one compensation, which also shows that there is a lack of various equipment in the country, or that the existing equipment cannot meet the export demand .

And without a phone, there is no solution. You can't rely on writing letters to communicate and cooperate!

"Actually, textiles are exported mainly by some high-quality handicrafts in China. There are still many embroidery products that cannot be produced by equipment, but manual embroidery is still very popular overseas. There are also some simplest products in China. Zeng Zixing said: "The needs of Chen Sheng's trading company are for European and American supermarkets, maybe you can also go to the Canton Fair, maybe you can find what you need."

"What time is the Canton Fair?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"Every spring and autumn, there is no air conditioning in the mainland. These two seasons are more convenient. Many Canton Fairs are held outdoors." Zeng Zixing said.

"I don't think I'll be free in the first half of the year. I'll see the situation in the second half of the year." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said, although he didn't need to pay too much attention to the main layout and memorization of the first half of the year, he had to be in Hong Kong, or he could be in Hong Kong at any time. For places that can communicate with Hong Kong, domestic communication is too troublesome, and it is likely to miss a few days, which will lead to the worst outcome.

"I can go. I can go and see what Chen Sheng needs." Zeng Zixing smiled.

"That's fine. In two days, I'll ask my assistant to sort out the product categories I need for you. You can go to the Canton Fair and take a look at the samples if you find something suitable." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said. Zeng Zixing was regarded as the first group of businessmen in Hong Kong to invest in the mainland on a large scale in later generations, much earlier than Li Jiacheng. Although it was also a commercial investment, his contribution was not small. Now he is so active, it seems that he has the same purpose.

"Okay." Zeng Zixing said happily.

"There should be a paper industry in China, right?" Chen Zhiwen said suddenly.

"Paper making?" Zeng Zixing was stunned for a moment, and said, "There should be. Paper is such a basic thing, it's impossible to import all of it?"

"Help me take a look at domestic toilet paper, and pay more attention to me at the Canton Fair." Chen Zhiwen said again.
