57 Zekens

"Jankens? Warren Buffett's man? After Chen Zhiwen heard the name, he carefully recalled that in the history he remembered, without this person, it may be just a capable man under Warren Buffett, after all, there are very few people like Microsoft Ballmer or Gu Ge Eric who have left a name in business history, and the non-Internet industry is only possible for those emperors who work against the sky to bring the company back to life.

"He said he was in charge of the textile business at Warren Buffett's company." Angel continued.

"Okay, you can contact the United States now, and ask them to send someone to investigate this Zekens, and I want to know all about him." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said.

When he went to visit Warren Buffett, he actually knew that he could invest in Berkshire Hathaway, and another purpose was actually to hope that Buffett's current textile empire could move the production base to Hong Kong, so he went to plant a seed, even if Buffett didn't take it seriously, then when Chen Zhiwen's funds were not so tight, he would talk about it again, and then find other textile giants.

And now that Warren Buffett's subordinates are coming, it means that it may have had a little effect.

"Okay, I'll go now." Angel promised that Red Bull already has a branch in the United States, and there is a team of more than 30 people, but this person will definitely not be able to meet Red Bull's demand for manpower in the United States, so most of the things are outsourced to local companies, including information inquiries. As long as the money is in place, the information you need can be found quickly.

Five days later, Chen Zhiwen got Zekens's information.

"Warren Buffett is at the top of the pyramid, and it seems that Buffett also attaches great importance to the Hong Kong market." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.

According to the information collected, Zekens is the number one person in Berkshire Hathaway's textile business, responsible for Berkshire Hathaway's 11 textile factories in the United States, nearly 10,000 workers, and Hathaway can be said to be equal to 10,000 people under one person.

After all, Hong Kong is a city with no natural scenery, a bunch of high-rise buildings, which country in Europe, the United States and Japan does not have? Decades later, if it weren't for the mainland behind it and some of the policy support of the mainland government, Hong Kong would have fallen long ago.

"I've booked the presidential suite for him at the Mandarin Oriental, and we'll be able to meet there." Li Haonan, the general manager of Galaxy Holdings, said.

"No, return it." Chen Zhiwen waved his hand and vetoed: "Now we are not partners, there is no need to be so polite, too polite, people still think that we will beg him, where to live is his own business, we as the landlord just have two meals." ”

The money for the presidential suite is also a drop in the bucket for Galaxy, and Chen Zhiwen generally asks Chen Zhiwen to decide by himself for this kind of small amount of money, and then report it once a month.

The money is not much, but Chen Zhiwen will not pay this money, if it is a customer, or Pierce comes to Hong Kong, it is no problem to arrange the presidential suite, but there is no one who has a little cooperative relationship, if it is too polite, it will either make the other party doubt his purpose, or he will make the other party absolutely superior, which is not conducive to possible cooperation in the future, Buffett is the same, if the cooperation is successful, the next time it will be.

"Okay, my fault, I didn't think about it so much." Li Haonan said with some embarrassment, I thought that the boss valued the other party, so he deliberately arranged the presidential suite, but he didn't expect it to backfire, there is no right or wrong for this kind of thing, it just depends on the boss's character and needs, only with the boss for a long time, can we understand the boss's character, and then do the right thing, which is something that any company's senior management must pay attention to.

"It's okay, there is no need to arrange people at the airport, people like them come over, and the high-end hotel they set will be responsible, we will wait for him to settle in the hotel, and then make an appointment after a day of rest." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

"Okay." Li Haonan said.

A week later, Mr. Seekens, who had arrived in Hong Kong, was invited by Mr. Chan to visit a top-notch steakhouse in Central.

"Very good steak, I've had a lot of steaks in New York and Los Angeles, but they can't compare to here." Zekens just took a bite to hide, and then praised.

"Mr. Seekens, when it comes to food, there is no country that can compare with us Chinese." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, in the culture of eating, the Chinese nation really has a long history, each place has its own unique cuisine, a person, no matter how rich, poor people, I am afraid it is impossible to taste all, in later generations, he also often reads the content of food bloggers, the main thing is to understand all kinds of food, if you have the opportunity, you can also enjoy it once.

"I don't agree with this, we also have a lot of food in the United States, and the next time Mr. Chen goes to the United States, I will treat you." Zekens said casually.

"Okay, it's a pleasure." Chen Zhiwen did not correct the other party's mistakes, after all, it is meaningless, and now only one Hong Kong, the bay next door and the Chinatowns of various countries have Chinese food, and many may have changed their tastes in order to entertain local customers, which can only be confirmed after the economic recovery of the mainland next door after the reform and opening up.

"Mr. Tankens, what are you coming to Hong Kong for?" After chatting for a while, Chen Zhiwen asked directly.

Zekens wiped his mouth with paper and said: "Mr. Chen, the last time you visited Mr. Buffett, Buffett told me about it after you left that day, Mr. Buffett didn't care too much, but I was a little interested, so I checked the situation in Hong Kong, and what made me unbelievable is that Hong Kong is a small city, and the export of the garment industry can actually rank among the top five in the world, with an amount of more than one billion US dollars, far exceeding Berkshire Hathaway's performance."

But after more in-depth investigation, I found that Hong Kong is more of the simplest garment making, although there are also a few large yarn mills, but they can't meet the needs of Hong Kong's garment industry, Berkshire Hathaway does not have any business in Hong Kong, so I came here to see, maybe there are some opportunities. ”

"Are you looking for clients in Hong Kong? I'm afraid this is very difficult, the profit of the garment industry in Hong Kong is very low, and it will definitely not be able to withstand American textiles. Chen Zhiwen smiled and said: "Or, there are very few garment factories in the world that can afford the price of American textiles, including the American garment industry, isn't it?" ”

Although Hong Kong's garment exports are very high, but basically low-end products, the simplest terms, Hong Kong more than 9 percent of the garment industry, the number of employees does not exceed 100 people, it can be said that they are some small workshops, the purchase of raw materials is also local production, a few from nearby Japan and South Korea, this is basically the lowest procurement cost, a little higher, it is estimated that these companies have to go out of business.
