0175【Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce】
"Boss, this is the list of newly recruited members of the Chamber of Commerce." As Li Jiacheng's confidant, Song Bingshu handed the list forward.
Inside the Office of the President of Changjiang Industrial—
Li Jiacheng glanced at the list, "Eight, so many?"
"Yes, now everyone knows that it is easy to enjoy the cool air by leaning on a big tree, 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 Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce is getting bigger and bigger, which is a good thing, but many franchisees are weak. Not only can they not help when joining, but they are also prone to pulling their legs."
"I understand, I will definitely select carefully this time."
There are many Hong Kong chambers of commerce. In addition to the famous Chinese chambers of commerce, there are also many local small chambers of commerce, such as Chaozhou Chamber of commerce, Shanxi Chamber of commerce, Shandong Chamber of commerce, Wuyi Chamber of commerce, etc. Basically, people from my hometown gather together to keep warm and each other.
help.
At first, these chambers of commerce promoted the prosperity and development of Hong Kong's business environment. Later, as the chambers of commerce became increasingly powerful and the mutual conflict occurred, it became an obstacle to business development.
The most famous of them is the struggle between the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce and the Wuyi Chamber of Commerce in 1952 to compete for the right to smelter steel.
At that time, Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong, became Asia's leading old ship division site. The cut steel needed to be resmelted and then put on the market as a sales of building materials, with great benefits.
For this reason, the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce spent a lot of money to bribe the senior management of the Tseung Kwan O garrison, hoping to obtain the authority to smelter the steel.
The Wuyi Chamber of Commerce is not willing to be outdone and directly provides supply to the senior management of the Hong Kong and British government, and is bound to win the power of smelting.
Finally, he created a "one woman married two husbands", which made those ghosts free and became a laughing stock in the business world.
Li Jiacheng is from Chaozhou and a representative figure of Chaozhou's struggle. He started to join the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce when he opened a hardware factory.
Because he is good at 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 a new issue of the English version of Plastics magazine and accidentally saw a news: An Italian company used plastic raw materials to make plastic flowers and is fully dumping the European and American markets.
This news made Li Jiacheng realize that plastic flowers will also be popular in Hong Kong. So Li Jiacheng visited Italy. After returning to Hong Kong, with the strong support of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, he quickly developed plastic flowers to fill the gap in the Hong Kong market.
With the help of Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, most dealers signed supply and marketing contracts very readily according to Li Jiacheng's quotation. Some of them took the initiative to pay a 50% deposit in order to buy out their rights.
Li Jiacheng set off a new trend in consumption in Hong Kong, and the Yangtze River Plastic Factory was once famous from an unknown small factory in the Hong Kong plastic industry.
At the end of 1957, the Yangtze River 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 building was divided into two places, one still produces plastic toys and the other
Plastic flowers.
Li Jiacheng regards plastic flowers as a key product. Plastic flowers bring Li Jiacheng tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in profits, and the Yangtze River Factory has become the world's largest plastic flower manufacturer. Soon, he actively explored the world market and became the "Plastic Flower King".
It can be said that in Li Jiacheng's struggle history, the help of Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce is inseparable from the help of Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce. In particular, the interpersonal relationships of Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce have given him a lot of convenience.
As Li Jiacheng's career is booming, his status in the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce has also risen. Now he has become the vice chairman of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce. In addition, Li Zhaofu, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, has not taken care of the Chamber of Commerce affairs in recent years due to physical reasons. In fact, Li Jiacheng
He is already the top 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 to the association at the beginning of the year.
There are a lot of this year, and there are actually eight companies applying for registration. For these applicants, as long as they can join the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, it means they have a big backer and their business will be smooth in the future.
For Li Jiacheng, it is an opportunity to select "little brothers". Whether these companies are helpful to Cheung Kong ranks first.
"Three of these eight companies have helped us Cheung Kong!" After following Li Jiacheng for so long, Song Bingshu certainly understood what Li Jiacheng was thinking, "They are doing hardware, electrical and electrical materials, construction and transportation, and house decoration..."
"As for the others, they are cleaning products, grain, oil and side dishes, and wholesale vegetables..."
When Li Jiacheng heard this, he laughed and picked up a soft cloth to wipe his glasses: "What did they regard the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce as? Even those who sell shampoo, grain, and vegetables are mixed up?"
"Yes, especially this person named Du Dapao, in order to apply for joining the franchising chamber of commerce, he wrote a 10,000-word application draft and said a lot of nonsense. He was simply stupid!"
"His surname is Du?" Li Jiacheng is now very alert to this surname.
Song Bingshu also thought of something, so he hurriedly went to search for the information, and soon found out Du Dapao's resume and family situation.
Song Bingshu looked at the family members column, was stunned for a moment, and looked up and said to Li Jiacheng: "Boss, did you think it was a coincidence?"
Li Jiacheng put on his glasses and took the form, took a look, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "What a coincidence!"
...
The Du family has been very busy these days.
Since the first day of the Lunar New Year, there have been constant guests.
Big Head Wen, buck-toothed horn, cock-fighting strong, and Ren Darong and Zhuang Dingxian were the first and first to come to pay New Year's greetings.
Then came Lan Mingkun, She Zaiming and others, as well as some old neighbors from Shixiawei, who also came to pay New Year's greetings with bacon, eggs, and snacks.
The old Du family treated everyone equally, accepted the gifts when they came, and returned the gifts even more generously when they returned.
So the old neighbors at 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 Guangfa Foreign Business. Because of the large quantity, the price is much cheaper than usual.
After finally receiving New Year's greeting guests, Du Yongxiao also started to walk around. He first paid a visit to Superintendent Ge Bai and General William, and then visited Inspector General Hua Liu Fu, and finally Lei Luo, Lan Gang, Han Sen and others.
Du Yongxiao was well-known for everything and did not look down on anyone just because he was a stint. He even visited some of his old colleagues.
Finally, he even received gifts and distributed them to the guards guarding the booths of the police station, as well as the cleaning staff who cleaned the police station, and the drivers who guarded the parking spaces.
This move moved the little people and almost cried bitterly. Who would have thought that such a big man as Du Yongxiao could still remember them during the Chinese New Year?
Du Yongxiao's last stop was McDonald's flagship store and Hengchuang Real Estate. He also sent big red envelopes to the staff there, and specially prepared a New Year gift package for Johnny, Liu Jianxiong and Bai Yingjun - a limited edition Rolex gold watch.
After Du Yongxiao finished everything, he prepared for the last stop and most important stop of the New Year, and the final visit—
Hong Kong, Huo Family!
Chapter completed!
