76 First Hearing of the Canton Fair

After discussing the details of the snake for a while, Chen Zhiwen called Lei Shengli over, got acquainted, and then introduced a colleague to Woz, who will represent Midea Electronics, go to the United States to assist Wads, and be responsible for the establishment and personnel recruitment of the entire branch, after all, people like Wertz are only suitable for studying technology, and it is better to have professional people in management, of course, there is also the purpose of supervision, there is no Internet era, the branch is difficult to control outside, and it is much more convenient to arrange their own people.

After the two got to know each other, Chen Zhiwen arranged for Midea's technical team to go to the nearby mountains for team building, which was just the right time to get acquainted with each other.

The first step of the arcade machine has been almost prepared, and the rest is to wait for Wolds to develop the software and hardware, and then he can officially enter this unlimited market.

A few days later, in a mysterious building in Central, Lin Yanming went through a bunch of processes, filled out a bunch of documents, and finally met the person he wanted to meet.

"You are?" Du Guoming, who looked haggard, was stunned when he saw the visitor, he didn't know him at all.

Since he was brought in by the Independent Commission Against Corruption, he knew that he was finished, and the police found tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars in cash and gold jewelry in his home, and also found several properties owned by his wife, which could not have this with his income, but fortunately he was not a public servant, and it was not ironclad evidence with these, but it was enough for him to be detained here all the time.

In the face of professional investigators, a rookie like him knows that he will definitely not be able to resist for a few days, so he has always hoped that the company will come to save him quickly, as long as the company comes forward, there may still be a chance.

When he knew that someone wanted to see him, he suddenly had hope, because since he came in, his family has not been able to see him, and the person who can come in now must have something to do with it, it should be someone from the company, but now he finds out that it is not.

"Du Sheng, my name is Lin Yanming, I am the manager of the legal department of Galaxy Group, our company, you should know." Lin Yanming put away his sunglasses and sat down with a smile.

"Galaxy?" Du Guoming naturally heard about it and knew that he would come in because Galaxy Group, the owner of the Hilton Hotel, launched a criminal investigation against him.

"Du Sheng, I only have ten minutes, so I'll cut it short. Our target isn't you, it's just that you're just unlucky enough to hit the muzzle of a gun. Lin Yanming said with a smile: "As long as you can provide what we need, I can promise you that Galaxy Group will give up the prosecution of you, and private bribery is a self-reported case, as long as we don't pursue it, then there is no legal responsibility at all." ”

"If you don't pursue it, what if the Hilton Hotel investigates?" Du Guoming said with a gloomy look: "Both of you are stakeholders, and you can both initiate a lawsuit against the economic problems of employees, who have I offended, aren't they all the same?" ”

From the moment he came in, he knew that he must be just a pawn, because he knew that the hotel had cheated the owner last quarter, and he was about to go to court because of it, but he didn't expect that the two parties would be the first to die if there was a conflict between the two capitals.

Now caught in the middle, as long as either party is held accountable, then the police can continue to investigate.

"You don't have to worry about that, after we clean up the current management of Hilton, we will ask them to give up their recourse to you, but what you have gained over the years, you have to spit it out." Lin Yanming said calmly, over the years, this moth is estimated to have earned hundreds of thousands, and just by spitting it out, he can make Xinghe recover some of the money he spent on this matter during this time.

"Really?" Du Guoming seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.

"Of course, we won't fall out with the Hilton Hotel completely, we just want to get back what belongs to us." Lin Yanming said.

"It's just the core financial data within the company, and there are only a handful of people who have the right to know it, and I don't know about it." Du Guoming said with some embarrassment.

"We know that the financial data is confidential, but some things are not good, I need a breakthrough, for example, the actual number of people in the Hilton hotel in the last quarter, how many people are in the room business you are responsible for, the price of different suites, with this real data, I will take the data of the Hilton Hotel to our owners, as long as there is an obvious abnormal gap, it is enough." Lin Yanming said lightly.

This kind of idiot who collects money directly, how can he know the core financial secrets of the hotel, it is really at this level, even if he wants to make money, it will not be so direct, but as a middle and high-level of the hotel, he has a lot of data on the surface, as long as the police get these data, and then compare it with the data given by Hilton to the owner, if the gap is very large, it must be suspected of economic fraud, and on this ground, it is enough to apply for the Independent Commission Against Corruption to conduct a large-scale audit of the Hilton Hotel.

Of course, if you find that the data is different from the one reported to the government by the hotel, then the fun is even greater, and most transactions are now cash transactions, and it is normal to have concealment.

"I have this data, but it's all within the company, and I can't get these documents." Du Guoming said with some embarrassment.

"You don't need source documents, you just talk to the police, and they'll go and apply for a search warrant." Lin Yanming said.

"I need to think again." Du Guoming thought about it and said.

"I'm not in a hurry, you can think about it, the time is up, I hope to see Du Sheng outside next time." Lin Yanming said with a smile, and then got up to leave.

Under the arrangement of the police clerk, Lin Yanming came to an independent office.

"Sir Liu, hello." After the door was closed, Lin Yanming shook hands with a smile and said.

"Lin Sheng, please take a seat, I've been busy lately, next time I have a chance, I will personally set up a banquet, invite Lin Sheng to have a drink, and thank Lin Sheng for his donation to the police station." Senior Superintendent Liu Tianming also hurriedly greeted the guests and said with a smile.

Hong Kong's police station will occasionally receive donations, but the last time it received a million Hong Kong dollars, it was still very rare, and a donation of this scale was enough for the assistant commissioner to come forward, but the donor asked for secrecy, and the police naturally could not object, but they were still very concerned internally.

"In the past two years, Hong Kong's business environment has improved significantly, and we should serve the Hong Kong community." Lin Yanming said with a smile.

Millions of Hong Kong dollars donation, naturally is the handiwork of Galaxy, this donation, can catch up with the relationship of the police, they are law-abiding legal operators, and there is no political demand, the police high-level is naturally happy to accept and build a good relationship, you know, in the past two years because of the real estate crisis and the oil crisis caused by the serious deficit, although not to pay the police salaries, but other aspects are much worse than before, the demand for donations, now higher than in previous years.

The donor's request is only to legally protect their own rights and interests, and the police will naturally fully cooperate, but unfortunately the Independent Commission Against Corruption cannot accept donations, otherwise Galaxy will not be stingy, but the same is true for the police, the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established, and many things also require the cooperation of the police.

At the same time, the bigger purpose is that his boss should start to show goodwill with the government, and in the future, when the cause is bigger, it also needs mutual benefit. Of course, it is not illegal cooperation, everything is within the framework of the law.

"You may be seated." Liu Tianming greeted.

"Thank you." Lin Yanming said politely: "Sir Liu, Du Guoming's case, in fact, you also know the purpose of our boss, I have made everything clear to him just now, but he still seems to be a little hesitant, in this regard, I hope the police can speed up a little and let the matter be settled as soon as possible." ”

"No problem, as long as he is willing to speak up, and I know someone from the Independent Commission Against Corruption, I can guarantee that the Hilton Hotel will not be able to eat and walk around." Liu Tianming said with a smile.

"I've heard that the Hilton Hotel is also using its own connections, so there won't be any problems with that, right?" Lin Yanming asked.

"They have a relationship above, we also have it, besides, we are really investigating the case, and the evidence is enough, this is a case filed and investigated by the Independent Commission Against Corruption, who dares to interfere, we are borrowing the momentum of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, they are hindering, and the difficulty is not at the same level at all." Liu Tianming said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news." Lin Yanming nodded and smiled.

"Chen Sheng, everything is going according to our plan now, as long as Du Guoming is willing to give counter-evidence, the Hilton Hotel will be in trouble." Lin Yanming said with a smile.

"Okay." Chen Zhiwen said lightly, although this matter has cost a lot of money and effort, as long as it deters the Hilton Hotel, the income will be more in the future, not to mention that he is still on the same line with the police.

Now it's time to wait for the efficiency of the police station!

Time flew by, and soon it was 1975.

The business of the Red Bull factory has also rarely seen a certain degree of order reduction, because in the United States in winter, the overall sales of the beverage market have plummeted, including Coca-Cola Pepsi and other carbonated beverage giants.

After the production of a certain reserve, Chen Zhiwen gave the employees paid leave in advance on February 3, but some of the personnel worked overtime overnight to transform the existing equipment and increase the production capacity.

The new factory in cooperation with Zeng Ziqi was also established in a low-key manner, although the total investment is less than one million Hong Kong dollars, but because it is just clothing, the equipment is simple and cheap, Jinhe clothing at the beginning of the establishment of the number of recruits exceeded 300 people, the first product is socks, this is the largest consumption of clothing in the United States, although cheap, but the amount is really large.

After a period of time, after the Jinhe factory has enough skilled workers and the team is stable, you can try to make simpler clothing products such as underwear, gloves, and short sleeves, as long as these can be done well, you can naturally try more complex ones.

After a round around the factory, Mr. Tsang took Mr. Chan to a small restaurant nearby, one of the few restaurants in Hong Kong known for its spicy taste.

"It tastes good." After Chen Zhiwen ate a few bites, he came to strength, spicy + Sprite, a fairy combination, he also liked such a combination in his previous life.

"I heard that Chen Sheng likes spicy food, and there happens to be one near here, but the grade is a little lower." Zeng Ziqi said with a spicy flush on his face, he didn't seem to be able to eat spicy food, but he still liked it very much.

"What grade is not grade, just delicious." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, small restaurants also have the benefits of small restaurants, and he occasionally went to Shaxian County to eat snacks in his previous life, and it tasted very good after not eating for a long time.

"Here, boss, chop the head of the pepper fish." A man of about 50 years old, dressed in a chef's suit, served the dish.

"Boss, you used to come from the mainland?" Chen Zhiwen looked at the spicy chopped pepper fish head and asked.

"Yes, from Sichuan." The boss nodded and said.

"No wonder, this dish is very well cooked." Chen Zhiwen praised.

The boss said with a smile: "At my level, I can still mix in Hong Kong, when I was in Sichuan, we had a production team, and the cooking skills were better than mine, and there were many more." ”

"If you have a chance in the future, you have to try it." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"Boss, eat first, I still have vegetables to cook." The boss seemed to be a little busy and didn't pay much attention to Chen Zhiwen and the others.

After the boss left, Zeng Ziqian wiped his sweat and asked, "Chen Sheng wants to go to the mainland?" ”

Chen Zhiwen asked rhetorically: "Do you want to go too?" ”

"I've already been." Zeng Ziqian said with a smile: "Every year the mainland will hold a Canton Fair, and some foreign businessmen will go to see if there is any business to do, and there are usually many people in Hong Kong, I went there once last year." ”

"Canton Fair? What to trade? Chen Zhiwen asked curiously, he had also heard this name in later generations, but it was only a historical record, after the change, especially after the 90s, every place could do overseas business, and the Canton Fair naturally declined.

"Many, mainly handicrafts, there are also some food and the like, the area of the Canton Fair is very large, I mainly go to visit all kinds of textiles, some domestic fabrics, and foreign countries are very different." Zeng Ziqian said simply.

"Textiles? What is the level of the domestic textile industry? Chen Zhiwen asked.

"It's a lot worse, the equipment, I probably inquired, even the domestic sewing machines are out of stock, many are hand-sewn, the quality is uneven, and many foreign businessmen are also picking some that look okay." Zeng Ziqi said.

Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said: "Can't we place an order, we set the quality requirements, and they will do it?" ”

"It's inconvenient, we can't go to other people's factories, we can only see the finished products at the Canton Fair, and many of them don't care very much about whether they can cooperate, so under normal circumstances, we can place an order on the spot on what we like, if not, there will be no more, and then let them do customized goods, it's too troublesome, many factories can't go to see it, even a phone call, how do you say this cooperation?" Zeng Ziqi said with a smile.

"That's right, it's troublesome." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said that the most important cooperation model after the future reform is three to one supplement, which also shows that there is a shortage of various types of equipment in China, or that the existing equipment cannot meet the export demand.

And without a phone call, there is no solution, and you can't rely on writing letters to communicate and cooperate!

"In fact, textiles, the domestic mainly rely on some high-quality handmade products to export, a lot of equipment can not make embroidery, artificial embroidery is still very marketable overseas, and there are some of the simplest goods, there are also in China." Zeng Ziqian said: "Chen Sheng's trading company needs are for European and American supermarkets, maybe you can also go to the Canton Fair to have a look, maybe you can find something you need." ”

"What time is the Canton Fair?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"Every spring and autumn, there is no air conditioning in the mainland, these two seasons are more convenient, and many Canton Fairs are held outdoors." Zeng Ziqi said.

"It is estimated that there is no time in the first half of the year, and we will look at the situation in the second half of the year." Chen Zhiwen thought about it and said, although he doesn't need to pay too much attention to the main layout and things in the first half of the year, people must be in Hong Kong, or in a place where they can communicate with Hong Kong at any time, domestic communication is too troublesome, and it is likely that if you miss it for a few days, it will lead to the worst outcome.

"I can go, I can go and see what Chen Sheng needs." Zeng Ziqi said with a smile.

"It's okay, I'll ask my assistant to sort out the categories of goods I need for you in two days, you go to the Canton Fair to have a look, and if there is a suitable one, take the sample back and have a look." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said. In later generations, Zeng Ziqian was one of the first batch of businessmen in Hong Kong to invest in the mainland on a large scale, much earlier than Li Ka-shing, although it was also a commercial investment, but the contribution was still not small, and now it seems that it is the same purpose.

"Okay." Zeng Ziqi said very happily.

"There should be a paper industry in China, right?" Chen Zhiwen said suddenly.

"Papermaking?" Zeng Ziqi was stunned for a moment and said, "There should be, basic things like paper can't be all imported, right?" ”

"You help me take a look at the domestic toilet paper, and give me more attention at the Canton Fair." Chen Zhiwen said again.
