"Boss, this is the list of newly recruited members of the Chamber of Commerce." As Li Jiacheng's henchman, Song Bingshu handed the list forward.

In the office of the president of Cheung Kong Asset——

Li Jiacheng glanced at the list, "Eight, so many?" ”

"Yes, now everyone knows that it is good to enjoy the shade with their backs against big trees, and our Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce is the leader of major chambers of commerce, second only to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce."

Li Jiacheng took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows, "The scale of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce is getting bigger and bigger, which is a good thing, but many franchisees have low strength, and not only can they not help, but they are also easy to pull back." ”

"I understand, I will carefully select this time."

There are many chambers of commerce in Hong Kong, in addition to the famous Chinese Chamber of Commerce, there are also many local small chambers of commerce, such as Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, Shanxi Association, Shandong Chamber of Commerce, and Wuyi Chamber of Commerce, etc., basically hometown people gather to warm up and help each other.

In the beginning, these chambers of commerce contributed to the prosperity of Hong Kong's business environment, but later as the chambers of commerce became more and more powerful, they became an obstacle to business development.

One of the most famous is the 1952 struggle between the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce and the Wuyi Chamber of Commerce for the right to smelt steel.

At that time, Tseung Kwan O in Hong Kong became Asia's leading old ship yard, and the cut steel had to be re-smelted and then listed for sale as building materials, which was very lucrative.

For this reason, the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy off the high-level of the Tseung Kwan O garrison, hoping to obtain the monopoly of steel smelting.

Not to be outdone, the Wuyi Chamber of Commerce directly supplied to the high-level of the British government in Hong Kong, and it was imperative to obtain the power of smelting.

In the end, a "one woman marrying two husbands" came up, which cheapened those ghosts for nothing and became a laughing stock in the business world.

Li Jiacheng is a native of Chaozhou and a representative of Chaozhou's struggle, and he began to join the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce when he opened a hardware factory.

Because of his long sleeves and good dancing, he quickly gained a foothold in the Chamber of Commerce and received a lot of funding from the Chamber of Commerce.

In 1957, Li Jiacheng read the new English edition of "Plastics" magazine and accidentally saw a news: an Italian company used plastic raw materials to make plastic flowers, and was fully dumping in the European and American markets.

This news made Li Jiacheng realize: plastic flowers will also be popular in Hong Kong. So Li Jiacheng went to Italy for inspection, and after returning to Hong Kong, with the strong support of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, he quickly developed plastic flowers, filling the gap in the Hong Kong market.

Thanks to the help of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, most of the dealers are very happy to sign the supply and marketing contract according to Li Jiacheng's quotation. In order to buy out the rights, some offer to pay a 50% deposit in advance.

Li Jiacheng set off a new trend of consumption in Hong Kong, and the Changjiang Plastic Factory suddenly became famous in the Hong Kong plastics industry from an obscure small factory.

At the end of 1957, Changjiang Plastic Factory was renamed Changjiang Industrial Co., Ltd. The company's headquarters was moved from Xinpugang to North Point, and Li Jiacheng served as chairman and general manager. The factory is divided into two locations, one still produces plastic toys and the other produces plastic flowers.

Li Jiacheng regards plastic flowers as a key product. Plastic flowers brought tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in profits to Li Jiacheng, and the Yangtze River Factory became the world's largest manufacturer of plastic flowers. Soon, he actively explored the world market and became the "King of Plastic Flowers".

It can be said that in Li Jiacheng's history of struggle, he is inseparable from the help of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce. In particular, the interpersonal relationship of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce has given him a lot of convenience.

With the rise of Li Jiacheng's career, his status in the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce has also risen, and now he has become the vice chairman of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, plus the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, Far East Financial President Li Zhaofu has not taken care of the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce in recent years due to physical reasons, in fact, Li Jiacheng is already the leader of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce.

According to the rules of the past years, the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce will attract a group of newcomers at the beginning of the year.

This year, there are a lot of eight companies to apply for registration, for these applicants, as long as they can join the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, it is equivalent to having a big backer, and doing business smoothly in the future.

For Li Jiacheng, it is an opportunity to select the "little brother", and whether these companies are helpful to Cheung Kong or not ranks first.

"Three of these eight are helpful to our Changshi!" has followed Li Jiacheng for so long, Song Bingshu certainly understands what Li Jiacheng is thinking about, "They are doing hardware and electrical materials, construction and transportation, and house decoration ......"

"As for the others, they are detergents, grains and oils, and vegetable wholesale ......"

Li Jiacheng smiled dumbly when he heard this, picked up a soft cloth and wiped his glasses: "What do they think of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce?" Even those who sell shampoo, grain, and vegetables come to mix? ”

"Yes, especially this one named Du Cannon, in order to apply for a franchise chamber of commerce, Leng wrote a 10,000-word application draft and talked a lot of nonsense, just a stupid guy!"

"His surname is Du?" Li Jiacheng is now very wary of this surname.

Song Bingshu also thought of something, and hurriedly looked through the information, and quickly found out Du Dacang's personal resume and family situation.

Song Bingshu looked at the column of family members, was stunned for a moment, looked up and said to Li Jiacheng: "Boss, do you say it's a coincidence?" ”

Li Jiacheng put on his glasses and took the form, glanced at it, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "It's really a coincidence!" ”

……

The Du family has been very busy these days.

Since the beginning of the Lunar New Year, there has been a constant stream of guests.

Datouwen, Bucktooth Pony, Fighting Qiang, as well as Ren Darong and Zhuang Dingxian are the first and earliest batch to come to pay New Year's greetings.

Followed by Rotten Life Kun and Snake Boy Ming and others, as well as some old neighbors in Shixiawei, who also came to visit the New Year with bacon, eggs, and snacks.

The old Du family treated everyone equally, and all the gifts were accepted, and the gifts were even more generous when they went back.

So much so that those old neighbors in Shixiawei were embarrassed, they came over with bacon and eggs, but when they left, they held ginseng and bird's nest.

In fact, these gifts were purchased by Du Yongxiao at GF Foreign Bank, because of the large amount, the price is much cheaper than usual.

After finally receiving the New Year's guests, Du Yongxiao also began to move around, first meeting with Superintendent Ge Bai, General William, then visiting Inspector Liu Fu of Zonghua, and finally Lei Luo, Lan Gang and Han Sen and others.

Du Yongxiao is thorough, and he doesn't look down on anyone because he is in a position, and even some of his old colleagues also visited.

In the end, they even took gifts and distributed them to the guards who guarded the booth at the police station, as well as the cleaning staff who cleaned the police station and the car watchman who guarded the parking space.

This move moved those little people and almost cried, who would have thought that such a big person as Du Yongxiao would still be able to think about them during the New Year.

Du Yongxiao's last stop was the McDonald's flagship store and Hengchuang Real Estate, and they also sent big red envelopes to the staff there, and specially prepared New Year's gift bags for Johnny, Liu Jianxiong, and Bai Yingjun - limited edition Rolex gold watches.

Wait until Du Yongxiao is busy with everything, and then prepare for the last and most important stop of the New Year, the finale visit-

Hong Kong, Huo Family!
