"Every time I see this building, I always feel like the building blocks my grandson built and will fall down at any time!" Li Huolin said as he got off a luxury minibus and looked up at the Oriental Building in front of him.

"Hehe, Lao Li, you don't know how to appreciate the artistic beauty of architecture, this is called post-modern style!" said another man walking behind Li Huolin.

"It seems that you Lao Ni understands very well, I think you just read what the newspaper says, and you are just parroting!" Li Huolin retorted unceremoniously and scolded with a smile.

"You two are also the general managers of a large company with thousands of people, don't stand at the door and be monkeys for others!" said four more people in the little barry, one of whom said.

"The Oriental Building is a scene in Central, and a large number of tourists come here every day to take pictures of the Oriental Building!

It was Li Huolin who pointed out the reason why others had been looking at their group of people, and it was not the first time he had come to Dongfang Mansion. Everyone couldn't help but glance down and found that they were really getting in the way of others. So after everyone chuckled, they all walked into the Oriental Building in front of them.

"Hello, we have made an appointment with Ms. Cai Min of Oriental Business to meet at ten o'clock in the morning!" Li Huolin, who was the leader, walked directly to the reception hall at the front desk, smiled at a sweet-looking little girl and said.

"Please wait a minute, I'll help you check!" the girl smiled kindly, and immediately lowered her head to the computer in front of her and began to operate. In less than a minute, she smiled and looked up and replied, "A few distinguished guests are from the Mainland's Deep Sea Special Zone! Manager Cai has already noted the matters to meet you in the work calendar, you can go directly to the conference room on the fifteenth floor to wait for a while, and I will inform Manager Cai immediately!"

Because security checks and card swiping are required to enter the office area, the girl said and waved her hand to a uniformed security guard not far away, asking him to come and introduce the guests.

If we put such an X-ray machine at the entrance of our factory, the theft of electronic components would be eliminated!" Ni Hongzhi put the black briefcase he carried back into the conveyor belt of the X-ray machine for security check, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"The Oriental Group is not like you, Lao Ni, who needs to guard against thieves, you don't see the X-ray machine only at the entrance, this is to deal with people with bad intentions! Hong Kong has been a bit chaotic in recent years, and there has been more than one vicious incident such as armed robbery this year!" Li Huolin shook his head and said.

"Hong Kong is so chaotic?" Ni Hongzhi said with some incredulity.

"Lao Ni, you really think that capitalism is all about the world of flowers, you don't know the situation in Hong Kong in the southwest. According to Hong Kong's "Ming Pao" not long ago, from 1980 to the present, there have been more than 20 kidnapping cases against the Li family in the past ten years. It is said that Mr. Li Xuan spends as much as 100 million Hong Kong dollars on security every year!" another person explained before Li Huolin.

A group of people were chatting, and the elevator soon reached the fifteenth floor. A charming young woman in a light blue suit and short skirt was already standing at the elevator entrance and waiting. According to a poll by Oriental Daily, Oriental Group has the highest average female employee appearance among all companies in Hong Kong. So much so that many Hong Kong men who are determined to marry a beautiful woman and go home are crying and shouting that they want to work in the Eastern Bloc so that they can get close to the water and get the moon first.

Although the beauty was on the side, the few men present were not distracted in the slightest, at most they were secretly a little surprised in their hearts, after all, they came here today for an important task.

"Manager Cai, I heard that your company is going to change the quota of color tubes from quarterly agreement allocation to monthly coordination?" Li Huolin asked without hesitation.

The six people who are here today are all responsible persons of several television factories in China that have close ties with the Eastern Bloc. Among them, Li Huolin, as the general manager of Huaqiang Electronics Company, has the closest relationship with the Oriental Group. After all, Huaqiang Company previously established a joint venture with RCA Company, a subsidiary of the Oriental Group, and its main business is the production of color TVs.

In addition to Huaqiang Company, the other five people who came with Li Huolin were the heads of Huafa, SEG, Sanda, Kangjia and Changhong. Among these six companies, in addition to Changhong Company, the other five companies are not electronic enterprises in the Deep Sea Special Zone without exception.

"Since 1988, the annual production of TV sets in mainland China has exceeded 10 million units, and there has been an oversupply. In particular, in order to eliminate the rush of buying that has swept the whole country since '88, the central government in Beijing has carried out strict macroeconomic regulation and control since last year.

As a direct result of this, the mainland's television sales have fallen into a serious state of stagnation since the second half of last year! We, the Eastern Group, have always actively sought to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results with all our partners. With the Chinese TV industry facing a huge crisis, we felt it was necessary to adjust our previous marketing strategy.

The original supply and marketing agreement signed once a quarter will occupy a large amount of the working capital of your company, after all, our company has always adopted the sales strategy of payment before the goods!

You can also rest assured that we, at the Eastern Bloc, have always prioritized the interests of our long-standing partners in the formulation of new policies. Therefore, although the negotiation mechanism has been adjusted, our color picture tube will still be given priority to the six companies here!"

Cai Min explained in a slow voice that she was the manager of the marketing department of the deep sea branch of Oriental Commercial. One of the main tasks of the marketing department of the Shenhai branch is to be responsible for the distribution of all the shares of RCA that are allowed to be sold in the mainland.

The past 198-9 years have definitely been an unprecedented cold spring for China's TV industry. Under the combined effect of domestic political turmoil and the failure of price breakthroughs, both TV production and sales have experienced the most serious decline in a decade.

Consumers have gone from a state of frenzied buying with banknotes to a wait-and-see state. Many companies are not keenly aware of changes in the market and adjust their production plans in a timely manner, resulting in a serious inventory backlog.

From 1980 to 1985, 113 television production lines were introduced across the country. Many of these factories have not been able to survive the cold snap that began in the second half of last year, and have fallen into the predicament of shutdown and closure. The six people here are much more nourishing than most of their domestic counterparts. In the process of the TV industry gradually beginning to transform from a seller's market to a buyer's market, the quality of an enterprise's products can often determine the fate of life and death.

The most core component of the TV is undoubtedly the picture tube, and the RCA picture tube sold by Oriental Commercial Company is obviously better than other domestic picture tubes. This makes the TV set with RCA CRT have a very good reputation in the minds of consumers, and even in the case of a sudden deterioration in the market, it can still stabilize the sales situation.
