Chapter 304: Li Jiacheng
After Zhou Huimin left, Ye Tian returned to the office to put away the foreign object, if you find Li Zhi with this thing, you will definitely see a wonderful picture, in this regard, Li Zhi and Zhao Yuzhi are a bit similar in personality, they are very conservative.
Jingle Bell ......
The phone rang, and Ye Tian grabbed the microphone.
"I'm Ye Tian!"
"Chairman, there is an appointment you may be interested in."
"Whose appointment?"
"Mr. Li, it is Mr. Li Jiacheng of Cheung Kong Corporation, he will meet you at the Peninsula Hotel in half an hour!"
"I see!"
Hung up the phone, Ye Tian was displeased, half an hour, what does Li Jiacheng mean? It's definitely too late to get to the Peninsula now, but what if he's somewhere else and can't make it in half an hour? Besides, he has decided to see Yi Yifu, Li Jiacheng is clearly oppressive with power, or directly looks down on him, people respect me, I respect people!
"Old fellow, if you want to wait, just wait!" Ye Tianyi sat down and deliberately delayed time. Li Jiacheng asked him to meet in half an hour, but he preferred to go over in an hour.
Such a decision is not that Ye Tian is capricious, but that he guessed Li Jiacheng's intentions, recently Oriental Holdings has set its sights on Hong Kong Electric, and Li Jiacheng also intends to acquire Hong Kong Electric, and the two parties have a contradiction, Li Jiacheng saw him at this time, and his intentions were not good.
and Li Jiacheng became an opponent, Ye Tian is not nervous is fake, Li Jiacheng has a nickname, called 'Li Superman', the whole world recognizes, it can be seen that Li Jiacheng has real skills, he can't catch up with others, the only advantage is the memory of the little 'foresight', although I have not seen Li Jiacheng, but Li Jiacheng's information is all in his mind, especially the initial entrepreneurial experience, which is very meaningful for the current Ye Tian.
Unlike Ye Tian, Li Jiacheng was very ordinary when he was a child, and his father was seriously ill. He called Li Jiacheng to the bed and whispered: It is better to ask for others than to seek yourself, and only if you suffer hardships can you become a master. Don't be discouraged when you're frustrated, and don't get carried away when you're proud. His father died of illness, and in order to support his mother and three younger siblings, 14-year-old Li Jiacheng was forced to drop out of school to make a living in society. Li Jiacheng first worked as a junior apprentice in his uncle Zhuang Jing'an's Zhongnan Watch Company, and after Li Jiacheng arrived here, the first thing he learned was to observe words and looks, and act when the opportunity arises.
Japan surrendered. Two years later, Li Ka-shing was transferred to a watch shop on Ko Sing Street as a clerk and learned the skills of assembling and repairing watches. Due to his outstanding sales performance, 20-year-old Li Jiacheng was promoted to the general manager of the plastic flower factory, and Ye Tian, 20 years old, has founded Oriental Entertainment. In the entertainment industry, Ye Tian defeated Li Jiacheng.
Li Jiacheng's ambition soon became apparent, and less than two years after he was promoted to general manager, Li Jiacheng used the $7,000 he usually saved to set up the Yangtze River Plastic Factory in Shau Kei Wan. "Yangtze River" is taken from the meaning of "the Yangtze River does not choose a trickle, so it can travel thousands of miles", the early days of the factory. There was a quality accident, and Li Jiacheng got through the difficulties with the encouragement of his wife.
A few years later, the Yangtze River Plastic Factory finally had a turnaround, production and sales gradually improved, Li Jiacheng read the new issue of the English version of the "Plastics" magazine, and accidentally saw a news: an Italian company uses plastic raw materials to make plastic flowers, is fully dumping in the European and American markets, this news makes Li Jiacheng realize: plastic flowers will also be popular in Hong Kong. So Li Ka-shing went to Italy for inspection, and after returning to Hong Kong, he took the lead in launching plastic flowers, which immediately became a hot-selling product.
Li Ka-shing developed plastic flowers in Hong Kong, filling the gap in the Hong Kong market. Li Jiacheng took the sales route of high quality and low price, and most dealers were very happy to sign supply and marketing contracts according to Li Jiacheng's quotation, and some took the initiative to pay a 50% deposit in advance in order to buy out the rights. Li Ka-shing set off a new trend of consumption in Hong Kong, and the Cheung Kong Plastic Factory suddenly became famous in the Hong Kong plastics industry from an obscure small factory.
Li Jiacheng founded the Yangtze River Plastic Factory that year, and applied the plastic flower production technology that he came back from stealing from Italy, and the business was booming for a while. Due to the shortage of products, there is a situation where the quality of products is reduced to meet orders, and as a result, many customers ask for returns for low-quality products, banks collect debts, customers collect money, and plastic factories are suddenly in trouble and on the verge of bankruptcy.
On this day, his mother called Li Jiacheng to him: "Son, make a kung fu tea for my mother." ”
Li Jiacheng used authentic phoenix tea to make a Teochew kung fu tea for his mother.
Zhuang's mother instructed Li Jiacheng to sit down, and after taking a few sips of tea, she asked, "Do you know the abbot of Kaiyuan Temple in your hometown called Yuan Lone?" ”
Without waiting for Li Jiacheng to answer, Zhuang's mother continued: "Yuan Lin is very old, and I hope to find a suitable successor. The candidates were his two apprentices, one with the name of the First Death and the other with the name of the Second Death. ”
Li Jiacheng listened to his mother quietly, did not interject, just filled his mother with a cup of kung fu tea.
Mother Zhuang took a sip of kung fu tea, and then continued: "Yuan Lin called these two apprentices to him and said, 'I will give each of you a bag of rice, and the next autumn will take the grain as the answer, and whoever harvests more grain will be my successor. When the autumn of the second year came, one lonely picked up a full load of grain, and the second lonely was empty-handed, but Yuan Lin announced in public that Er Lin would be the successor. Yuan Lin smiled slightly, and said loudly to everyone: "The millet I gave to the first and second silence were all cooked in boiling water, and it is obvious that the second silence is honest and should be the abbot. So the people were pleased. ”
Zhuang's mother suddenly changed her words, "Doing business is like being a man, and honesty is the head, then there is no danger and there is no danger." ”
Soon, Li Ka-shing's integrity impressed banks, suppliers and employees, and the situation improved, and the crisis turned into business opportunities. Since then, Li Jiacheng has gained a firm foothold in the business world
Ye Tian has read this story many times, at that time it was only a story, after having a career, Ye Tian, like Li Jiacheng, regarded it as a spur and disdained to deceive, in addition to this, there was also a Li Jiacheng deed that Ye Tian cared about.
Li Jiacheng once came out of his home, and just as his secretary was bending down to get into the car for him, he accidentally dropped a coin from his jacket pocket and rolled under the manhole cover on the side of the road. So Mr. Li Ka-shing asked the secretary to notify someone to come and open the manhole cover, and finally found the coin, so Mr. Li Ka-shing "rewarded" the service staff with 100 Hong Kong dollars. Some people are puzzled, thinking that the coin of "falling into the well" has a special identity, but it is actually an ordinary coin.
Mr. Li Jiacheng analyzed it this way: a coin is also wealth, if you ignore it, it "falls into the well", and if you don't save it, then slowly the God of Wealth will leave you; Money can be used, but not wasted, 100 Hong Kong dollars is Mr. Li Ka Shing's satisfaction with the service, and it is also the reward he deserves.
Ye Tian summed up Li Jiacheng's character and character in his heart, and had to admit that he was excellent in both aspects, and such an opponent was the most difficult, but he didn't want to give up the fat of Hong Kong Electric Lighting, buy Hong Kong Electric Lighting, monopolize power and energy, and have the right to speak in Hong Kong's electricity consumption.
Half an hour passed unconsciously, and Ye Tiancai got up to go to the appointment.
The Peninsula Hotel
Ye Tian looked at this hotel that was almost acquired by himself, and clearly remembered the scene of meeting Zhao Yuzhi here for the first time, he also stood here and sighed, and even felt ashamed in front of the luxury hotel, and now he looked at it again, as if he had become bigger, looking down on the hotel that made him 160 million Hong Kong dollars in the sky.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Ye Tian saw Li Jiacheng with a calm face, and it was strange that Li Jiacheng chose the meeting place in the hall, a window position.
The waiter bent down and reminded, "Mr. Li, the guest you invited has arrived!" ”
Li Jiacheng put down the newspaper slowly, Ye Tian looked down at the time, and was fifty-two minutes late. (To be continued.) )
