Chapter 195: Reason (Ask for Subscription!!)
When Jiang Ran and other high-level executives of Ran Feng were discussing countermeasures, in an office in Taipei City, a middle-aged man was also in a hurry at this time.
The clothing brand that was originally developing well was shut down and rectified by the government for various reasons early this morning.
After contacting the general manager of the Hong Kong head office, Zhong Zhenglin calmed his employees a little and immediately began to contact an acquaintance of the Economic Department of the Executive Yuan.
"Director Liao, hello! I'm Zhong Zhenglin from the Oriental Charm, I don't know if you're free now, I want to treat you to a light meal. Zhong Zhenglin said politely.
"Old Zhong, just eat. On the phone, Director Liao of the Ministry of Economic Affairs said a little reservedly, and then paused slightly, "Old Zhong, we are also acquaintances, and I also know the purpose of your coming to me today." ”
"I won't lie to you, I'll give you an explanation, this time your Oriental Charm Company was shut down and rectified, which was jointly led by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture, and my side basically didn't use much force. As for the reason, it seems that your head office, the Ranfeng Group, is in a situation on the issue of the mainland. ”
Director Liao probably told the matter, and hung up the phone directly without waiting for Zhong Zhenglin to speak again, obviously the other party didn't want to contaminate the Oriental Charm Company too much now.
At present, Taiwan is still under martial law politically, the party ban has not yet been opened, and it still adheres to the policy of "no contact, no negotiation, and no compromise" in its policy toward the mainland, so it is still sensitive to the issue of facing the mainland.
Kuomintang party and government officials treat this issue as a political attitude, and it is easy to say if it is not taken to the surface, but now that the problem of the Ranfeng Group has been stabbed to the surface, then in the consideration of political correctness, it is reasonable for Director Liao to alienate Zhong Zhenglin in this situation, and even he can say something to Zhong Zhenglin, which is already a very rare thing.
Oriental Charm is also associated with the Ministry of Culture because it distributes magazines and movies in Taiwan. After ending the phone call with Director Liao, Zhong Zhenglin found out the contact information of Deputy Director Liu of the Ministry of Culture.
"Director Liu, hello! Hello! I'm Zhong Zhenglin of Oriental charm, I'm sorry to disturb you. Zhong Zhenglin nodded and greeted after answering the phone.
"Manager Zhong, is there something wrong?" Deputy Director Liu's words lost his usual familiarity, and he asked bluntly and politely.
When Zhong Zhenglin heard this, he sighed in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good.
"Director Liu, that's the case, today I heard that our Ranfeng Group has gone wrong on some issues. As you know, we are just a commercial company, we are not very sensitive to politics, and sometimes mistakes are inevitable, so I hope Director Liu can give us some guidance. ”
Deputy Director Liu usually has a good relationship with Ranfeng Group, and the usual rituals of Ranfeng Group have never been broken, so in the face of Zhong Zhenglin's low-profile words, his tone eased slightly.
"Yesterday, Lin Jianbin , the person in charge of the Hong Kong side, submitted a report on a mainland variety show produced by your group, and this report is very unfavorable to you. The closure of the store is only the first step, and the follow-up film and television review will also be strengthened. Deputy Director Liu didn't say much, but the reasons for it have basically been explained.
"Thank you, Director Liu, for reminding me, I won't bother you much if it's not too much today. After this turmoil, we will thank Director Liu very much. ”
When Yi Yi came to Jiang Ran's face again, she was finally much calmer than before, and she didn't have the panic she had before.
Jiang Ran leaned back in the wide boss's chair and looked at Yi Yiyi, who was standing in front of the desk, "Is the situation over there clear? Who is responsible for this matter? Is there any possibility of easing." ”
Although Yong Yiyi is not as panicked as before, her mood is getting heavier and heavier, and she is also slightly resentful of the boss sitting opposite, Jiang Ran.
This time, the Oriental Charm Company can be said to have attracted a calamity, the business was doing well, and even the relationship between the Taiwanese officials was dredged very smoothly, and it was planning to start the second round of expansion in Taiwan.
Who knows, because of Ranfeng Film and Television Company, to be precise, because of a decision by Jiang Ran, it has now affected Oriental Charm Company, causing all the company's stores in Taiwan to be shut down.
What's more, at the beginning, he proposed to Jiang Ran that too close cooperation with the mainland might affect the company's interests in Taiwan, but Jiang Ran ignored her suggestion and still went her own way, but now she is asking her to pay for it.
"Mr. Jiang, things have been clarified. The Taiwanese side closed down our store because of the tip of the tongue that was broadcast on ATV yesterday. ”
Yi Yi looked at Jiang Ran as she spoke, and then analyzed: "We have just made an investment in the mainland, and now the TV station is immediately broadcasting a variety show that we have produced that has a tendency to beautify the mainland, and the Taiwan side may mistakenly think that we have political views that are inclined to the mainland. ”
Jiang Ran heard some different meanings from Yong Yiyi's words, glanced at her lightly, and said: "We are just doing some commercial operations, and the Taiwan authorities are too sensitive. ”
Yong Yiyi's indifferent eyes looked slightly frightened, her eyes drooped, and she said kindly: "Yes, what Jiang Ran said is." ”
Jiang Ran ignored Yi Yiyi's agreement, but asked lightly, "Do you know who led the closure of our store this time?"
"Our people in Taiwan have inquired clearly, and the closure of our store this time was led by Lin Jianbin, the person in charge of Taiwan in Hong Kong, and then led by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and promoted by the Ministry of Culture, which is why we have today. ”
Jiang Ran nodded, and then asked again: "Can our people on the Taiwan side move and ask someone to mediate." Speaking of which, Jiang Ran told Yong Yiyi about the countermeasures he had discussed with Le Zhiren and others just now.
"We have made our attitude clear in the media, and you can find someone to help you talk about it, and see what kind of charter Taiwan has, you can't leave a little leeway, right?" Jiang Ran finally ordered.
Seeing that Jiang Ran had a coping plan, Yong Yiyi felt slightly relieved, "Mr. Jiang, don't worry, I'll arrange it immediately." ”
Because of the closure of the Ranfeng store in Taiwan, the Ranfeng Group successively notified a group of people who came to work overtime, and before getting off work in the afternoon, Le Zhiren and Sister Fang came to Jiang Ran's office together.
"Mr. Jiang, I've gone through our current industries in Taiwan. At present, we have a total of five directly operated clothing stores in Taiwan, and the magazine "Oriental Charm" is distributed in Taiwan, and the rest is film distribution. ”
Le Zhiren spoke first, briefly introduced Ran Feng's industry in Taiwan, and then he looked at Chen Fang.
Chen Fang willingly handed Jiang Ran a document, and said: "Mr. Jiang, our current industry in Taiwan, in addition to movies, can probably bring millions of Hong Kong dollars of profits to the group every month.
"In addition, in terms of films, there are more fluctuations, but this year, we have produced 14 films in the Taiwan market and distributed them on behalf of our group, which has provided our group with a profit of nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars. ”
Chen Fang's face was a little ugly as she spoke, she looked at Jiang Ran, and then said: "Mr. Jiang, our annual profit in Taiwan is almost more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars, so I think we should be cautious this time." ”
Jiang Ran did not say anything when he heard this, the profit of more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars, plus the Oriental Charm Company, which was originally determined to start the second expansion in Taiwan in 84 years, it is foreseeable that after this expansion, the profit of Ranfeng Group in Taiwan may reach 40 or 50 million Hong Kong dollars.
Such a big profit, just give up because of a show?
Jiang Ran was unwilling!
He now felt faintly regretful in his heart, feeling that his previous decision was too impulsive, although in the general direction, there was nothing wrong, and the mainland would be the reliance of the Ranfeng Group in the future, but he was too eager after all.
Jiang Ran waved his hand a little irritably, "This matter must be handled carefully." Then he looked at Le Zhiren and said, "Mr. Le, our people in Taiwan have inquired clearly, and this time the matter is led by one of their heads in Hong Kong, Lin Jianbin . ”
Jiang Ran paused as he spoke, and then ordered: "You find someone to check on this person, and then meet him, probe his bottom, don't be afraid to spend money." In the end, Jiang Ran stared at Le Zhiren and said.
"I know how to do it, Mr. Jiang. Le Zhiren nodded understandingly.
