Hong Kong's "electrical tycoon" Guo Feng is not the kind of person who is dead-headed, otherwise he would not have started from scratch, from a hawker who bought and sold second-hand electrical appliances on Apliu Street, to an electrical appliance king with a net worth of hundreds of millions. For him, Chen Tianlang's creativity is still very exciting to him, but an old man like him in the Hong Kong business community has always been cautious in doing things, so he will ask Chen Tianlang many questions.

In this regard, Chen Tianlang has also been prepared.

At this moment, Guo Feng looked at Chen Tianlang's confident and sincere smile and asked, "I would like to hear about it." ”

"I can assure you that our purpose will not hinder the development of you manufacturers, and our company has no intention of entering the home appliance retail chain industry. Chen Tianlang said this and smiled. "But, Mr. Guo, I'm sorry, except that we want to overthrow the Century Group, I can't tell you our deeper purpose. ”

Guo Feng lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and replied: "Actually, if you tell me your purpose directly, I will cooperate with you immediately." But now, if you can't tell me this, then you'll probably have to spend a little more time explaining it now before I can be reassured. After all, I am in business, and I need to know how to eat my brain when doing business, and I have to be very careful about every decision!"

Chen Tianlang nodded, "This is natural. Let's start with the first point, if our alliance does not achieve this goal and gives the Century Group a breather, then it will definitely fight back against us wildly. Therefore, as long as we start a war this time, we can only win and not lose. So can we tear it down now? Look at this report. ”

Chen Tianlang said, took out a report from his bag, pointed to the number at the back and said: "Now the assets of the Century Group are 5.6 billion, the cash in hand is only more than 300 billion, the real estate investment in various districts in Hong Kong is more than 1 billion, the other investment is 700 million, and another billion is lent to the Hong Kong Kirin Group." In this way, even if you count the four billion owed by the Kirin Group, the cash of the Century Group is only two billion. Let's take a look at us again. ”

"Taking Panasonic Electric alone, Panasonic has 10,000 units per month in the Century Chain City, and its sales are more than 20 million. Panasonic and the Century supermarket chain are the end of the season. The last time it ended was more than two months ago, and we can calculate that the cash that Panasonic has hoarded in the hands of Century is about 53 million according to the normal situation. The sales of the other dozen or so companies in the Century Chain are almost at this figure, and now assuming that all the people are quarter-end, then the funds accumulated by the twenty companies in the hands of the Century Chain are one billion and sixty million. But in fact, according to our calculations, the funds accumulated by 20 large manufacturers in the hands of Qian Jiacheng are far greater than this number, and the actual amount is more than 1.3 billion. This is because five of the 20 large manufacturers have signed underwriting contracts with the Century supermarket chain, so that their accumulated amount is far more than 200 million. ”

"Mr. Guo, just our twenty joint withdrawals Century Group, now it is not enough to make up all the cash, not to mention the countless small and medium-sized manufacturers behind us?"

Guo Feng nodded, "I understand this, I believe in your plan." What I'm concerned about now is how do you convince me that your plan is not for the benefit of fishermen, and how will our products be solved after we overthrow Century Group?"

"Actually, these two issues are one and the same. The first problem that Mr. Guo is worried about is nothing more than the fear that after the fall of Qian Jiacheng, we will suddenly ask you all to enter another large-scale home appliance supermarket chain, and the conditions are not much better than those of the Century Group. The second problem that Mr. Guo is worried about is that if we really have no industry background at all, then how to help you solve the problem of channels. ”

Guo Feng nodded: "That's right." This has to be taken care of. ”

Chen Tianlang smiled and took out a list, "Mr. Guo, take a look at this list first, I think you will understand." ”

Guo Feng took the list in disbelief, and as a result, he saw a large list of well-known electrical brands, Sony, Toshiba, Hitachi, Siemens...... In the back are the heads of the mainland regions of these brands.

"This ...... These are the overlords of electrical appliances sales in various parts of the mainland. ”

"That's right, they are the overlords of electrical appliance retail in various regions of the mainland who want the fall of the Century Group more than you. It was the Century Group that gave them no hope of breaking out of the local area, so they could only stay in their hometown. And if the Century Group collapses, this total of 34 home appliance sellers from all over the world will take over the inventory of 20 of your Hong Kong manufacturers at the same time. Speaking of this, Chen Tianlang smiled at Guo Feng, "How big is the mainland market, I think Mr. Guo knows that if you can break out of Hong Kong and enter the mainland, a region of reform and opening up, then the profits you earn will definitely be ten times greater than that of Hong Kong." In this way, Mr. Guo's two problems have been solved, so shouldn't Guo always rest assured?"

Guo Feng said in wonder: "Chen Sheng, now I believe that you really have no intention of entering the home appliance industry, but I still can't figure out why you are doing this? Could it be that you have a personal grudge against Qian Jiacheng?"

Chen Tianlang replied: "If you like it, Mr. Guo, you can think like this." ”

"I can't read it, I can't read it. Guo Feng frowned and shook his head and said.

But thirty minutes later, he still signed the agreement and became the twentieth manufacturer partner of Chen Tianlang's attack on the Century Group. The reason why it is said to be twenty is because fifteen minutes before he signed, Charlie Chen had already made Sony Electric Agent the nineteenth partner.

……

On December 26, 1995, after Christmas, Qian Jiacheng saw a man in a suit waiting in his office.

"Who are you?" Qian Jiacheng hated seeing someone sitting in his office as soon as he got to work.

The man in the suit stood up with a smile, lifted his glasses and said to him: "Jiang Husheng, a professional barrister in Hong Kong, is also a joint agent of 20 suppliers such as Hong Kong Panasonic, Sony Electric, and Siemens Electric!"

Qian Jiacheng's eyes flickered, "Joint agent, do you have something to do with me?"

Jiang Husheng took out twenty documents from his briefcase very solemnly and said: "I am here to tell you that from today onwards, all our suppliers will no longer supply to the Century Chain Supermarket, and in addition, the funds will be required to be settled in advance!"

"What?" Qian Jiacheng suddenly stood up nervously, his eyes widened, and he looked at Jiang Husheng incredulously.

Jiang Husheng helped his glasses, still looking calm and polite.

"Tell me, is this the guy surnamed Chen doing a ghost?" Qian Jiacheng remembered something and said angrily.

"I'm sorry, no comment!"

"You have no comment, you Chen Tianlang's lackey, I won't admit defeat!" Qian Jiacheng and Jiang Husheng also hated.

Jiang Husheng still looked very gentle, but he said: "Mr. Qian, I have written down what you said just now, don't forget, I am a lawyer, I can sue you for defamation, and use words to make personal attacks." But it looks like you don't have time to deal with this kind of trivial matter, so you should accept these complaints!" After speaking, he casually threw the twenty documents on Qian Jiacheng's desk, then turned around and walked away.

Behind him, Qian Jiacheng stared blankly in front of him and breathed heavily.

……

28 December 1995.

As another lawyer who is more important to Chen Tianlang, Yu Qiushuang began to take action. This beautiful lawyer is the best at public opinion attacks.

As a result, more than 100 news media in Hong Kong, as well as major newspapers, received two faxes. The two-point fax is a press release in a complete format and detailed information, which can be directly published in the newspaper.

The first fax was titled a joint statement by 20 Hong Kong manufacturers to Century Group.

The content is that the suppliers of the 20th Century supermarket chain, such as Panasonic Electric and Siemens Electric Appliances, out of doubts about the financial affairs of the Century Group and the difficulty of accepting its repeated non-compliance with the contract, demanded that the supply and marketing relationship be severed from the Century Chain City, and at the same time demanded that the other party refund all products or sales money. This reasonable demand was called a joint breach of contract by 20 suppliers and suppliers by Century Group. In response to this attitude of Century Group, 20 manufacturers jointly issued a statement to prove the audio-visual.

First, the responsibility for the termination of the contract does not lie with the supplier, but with Century Group. It was Century Group, not the supplier, that first broke the contract in various forms such as selling across regions without permission and pricing without permission.

Second, Century Group is suspected of financial fraud, specifically using other people's money to do its own business. Among them, there is a real estate industry in Hong Kong invested by Century Group as evidence, and now the real estate development has encountered huge resistance, and the huge amount of funds deposited in the real estate market is at risk of not being recovered.

Beginning on December 29, 1995, Hong Kong's "Ming Pao", "Sing Tao Daily", "Hong Kong Island Daily" and other newspapers published these words, and some lazy newspapers even did not change the original text at all.

The first reaction of the suppliers who saw these newspapers was to immediately call the headquarters of Century Group to inquire. As a result, the phone calls of the Century Group have been unable to come in since half past six in the morning.

The first thing Qian Ka-shing did when he saw these newspapers was to be furious, and the second thing he did was to immediately meet with reporters from major newspapers in Hong Kong to clarify. The third and most important thing was to call Hua Tianxiong immediately, "Watson, return my billion to me immediately!" ”

At this time, Hua Tianxiong, who was sitting in the office reading the newspaper, said in a good time: "Mr. Qian, aren't you, why did you suddenly collect debts from me? Could it be that you are still afraid that I Hua Tianxiong will run away?"

Hua Tianxiong's attitude made Qian Jiacheng scold his female family thousands of times in his heart, but now he doesn't dare to get angry, as the saying goes, when you borrow money, the creditor is your grandfather, and when you take out the money, the creditor is your grandson.

"Watson, that's not what I meant. I'm really in a hurry right now, haven't you read this morning's newspaper?"

"I read it, what's wrong?"

"Then you should know my situation, needless to say, a large number of manufacturers must be pouring to me to ask for money. If I don't give a part, this matter can't be over. ”

"Tell me, if those manufacturers really come, you have to give a hundred if you give one, even if I return all the billion to you, you won't be enough to fill it!"

"I can't care so much at this time, it's a while to be able to hold on for a while, anyway, I'll talk about it after this hurdle. ”

Hua Tianxiong sighed in embarrassment, "You're right, how long can you hold it, then okay, I'll ask the finance to allocate 100 million to you first." ”

"100 million? Didn't I give you a billion?"

"500 million of those billion miles are my own, and now I'm in a hurry to use the money, understand. Hua Tianxiong said.

"When is this, are you still ......" Qian Jiacheng couldn't wait to crawl over from the phone line and strangle Hua Tianxiong to death, but he could only think about it like this, what he could really do was to swallow his anger and try to keep his voice to the minimum, "Okay, then you give me back all the 500 million that belongs to me, okay?"

"Yes, yes, but I spent all that money, where can I find you so much money at once?"

"Hua ...... Hua Tianxiong ...... "Qian Jiacheng's body trembled with anger, "I'll push your lungs!"

Hua Tianxiong smiled and took the microphone and said, "Hey...... What do you say? Hey...... What are you topping? Hey, hey......"

Then Hua Tianxiong hung up the phone and informed the secretary, "I won't answer any calls from the Century Group!"

After all this was done, Hua Tianxiong put his feet on the desk and said with a wicked smile: "Hold your mother! Wait until you pass this level? After passing this level, you will reach the ghost gate! I love to talk and laugh, how can I block the billions of holes with my billions? It is better to cheapen me." ”

……

Since January 1, 1996. Suppliers who repeatedly failed to get through began to kill the headquarters of Hong Kong Century Group, but they pounced, and Qian Ka-shing was not at the headquarters of Century Group, but disappeared without a trace.

On January 3, 1996, hundreds of suppliers had gathered at the headquarters of Century Group in Hong Kong, but Qian Ka-shing still did not appear. The headquarters of the Century Group was occupied by these suppliers, and the employees were almost completely unable to carry out their work.

The Hong Kong Chinese Entrepreneurs Association still intervened in the matter, but after coordination, it was unsuccessful.

Suppliers continued to occupy the headquarters of the Century Group in a state of outrage, but there was no violence.

After another three days, Qian Ka-shing was still missing, and suppliers from all over Hong Kong began to break into the Century Home Appliance supermarket chain in Wan Chai, Yuen Long, Mong Kok and other places in Hong Kong. The work of the Century Group came to a complete standstill. In some areas, there is a phenomenon of suppliers looting in shopping malls.

The Hong Kong police had to intervene in the matter.

A week later, Qian Jiacheng was confirmed to have fled with more than a billion dollars. The direction of events was completely unexpected by everyone.

The Hong Kong Commercial Crime Bureau began to formally intervene, and the supermarket chains in various areas of Hong Kong under the Century Group were sealed, the real estate projects opened in various places were also sealed, and bank accounts were frozen.

As a Hong Kong media, major newspapers have begun to publish the hundreds of millions of fraud cases of Century Group. The headlines on the front page of the original black "Yongsheng Entertainment" were all "snatched" away by the Century Group.

Hong Kong's business community is changing, and even overseas business wars in Hong Kong have given a lot of entertainment coverage. For a time, Hong Kong became a hot word in world public opinion.
