Chapter 288 Identity leak (7K chapter, please subscribe~)
Rising Sun Toys, Cai Zhiming!
At this time, he was just a newcomer in Xiangjiang's toy industry, but his Rising Sun toys were not low-key in Xiangjiang.
Just because Cai Zhiming's Rising Sun Toys defeated established toy manufacturers such as Tianhua Toys, and obtained the agency production rights of the North American national toy 'Snoopy'!
Cai Zhiming, born in Shenghai, came to Xiangjiang with his parents after the war. After graduating from middle school, he did not apply for university, but joined a toy factory and worked as a salesman.
Because of his active mind and articulate speech, his sales performance is booming.
In 1972, he decided to resign and start his own toy company. In the same year, he acted as an agent for the production of the famous Snoopy toy. Due to its excellent distribution capabilities, he once became the largest distributor of American toys in East Asia.
In another time and space, Cai Zhiming was known for his calm, wise, and vigorous business style in the Xiangjiang business circle. Later, he became the honorary chairman of the Xiangjiang Toy Manufacturers Association, and was even known as the king of toys.
Rich businessmen in Xiangjiang, after they get rich, will all be involved in the real estate industry, and Cai Zhiming is no exception. After making a fortune in the toy industry, Cai Zhiming set his sights on the real estate industry.
Later, during the financial tsunami in 1997, taking advantage of the low property prices, he spent 3.3 billion yuan to buy countless shops and apartments in Xiangjiang.
After 2000, the real estate market in Xiangjiang started a wave of rising waves, and the real estate value in Cai Zhiming's hands rose sharply. It is conservatively estimated that the value of the real estate he held in Xiangjiang at that time was 30 billion yuan.
At the same time, this person is also very playful, likes to collect famous watches, horse racing, and luxury cars. It is rumored that he personally owns dozens of world-class luxury cars!
Another little news, the wife of Cai Zhiming's son is the younger sister of Zhen Wingchun's wife!
Cai Zhiming is just 27 years old this year, which is the best time to start a business.
Like other toy factories in Xiangjiang, Cai Zhiming discovered the commercial value contained in the toys surrounding Fantasy Comics early on. He was also the first toy factory in Xiangjiang to start imitating the toys surrounding Fantasy Comics.
Fantasy Comics also sued Rising Sun Toys for the largest amount.
30 million Hong Kong dollars!
Although Fantasy Comics has made Cai Zhiming a lot of money, but now when Rising Sun Toys is expanding vigorously, Cai Zhiming does not have so much cash in his hands. Now if he is successfully sued by Fantasy Comics, Cai Zhiming's Rising Sun Toys will fall into economic crisis in an instant.
This is not what Cai Zhiming can bear now!
So he has to come to see Chu Huan, hoping that Chu Huan can let go of Rising Sun Toys!
Mr. Chu, it's a pleasure to meet you. I've always wanted to find a chance to pay a good visit to Mr. Chu. It's a pity that Mr. Chu is busy and waited until today to find the opportunity!
After entering Chu Huan's office, Cai Zhiming kept his posture very low.
Chu Huan sat there without getting up, but just smiled and said, Mr. Cai has become famous in the Xiangjiang toy industry in the past two years, and everyone knows it.
Cai Zhiming quickly laughed and said, Mr. Chu is too polite. In front of Mr. Chu, my little matter is really not on the table.
Chu Huan nodded unceremoniously, and said: Mr. Cai's words are not wrong, but some things in your company are indeed not on the table. I have heard Yasuo Kamakura before. Fantasy Comics is clearly I rejected Mr. Cai's request for cooperation, but Mr. Cai turned around and produced the peripheral toys of Fantasy Comics, do you really think that our Fantasy Comics is easy to bully?
As Chu Huan's painting style changed, Cai Zhiming's face immediately revealed a panic expression: Mr. Chu, our Rising Sun Toys really knew it was wrong this time. Please, Mr. Chu, let our Rising Sun Toys go. , just look at the jobs of hundreds of good workers in our factory!
Chu Huan's face darkened, Cai Zhiming, are you threatening me with those workers?
Cai Zhiming hurriedly explained: Don't dare, dare not, Director Chu misunderstood, just now I was talking outrageously, and I hope Director Chu will not take it to heart.
Chu Huan waved his hand and said, Forget it, let's leave it at that. Mr. Cai should go back and prepare some cash!
Can Cai Zhiming go?
He can't!
Otherwise, the rising sun toys behind him will be finished.
Mr. Chu, 30 million is really too much for our Rising Sun Toys. Even if you close down our factory, you won't be able to spend so much money!
Chu Huan looked at Cai Zhiming playfully: Cai Zhiming, you are playing with me!
Cai Zhiming said: Director Chu misunderstood, I didn't mean that, but my situation is indeed like this!
Chu Huan said indifferently: Since this is the case, then Mr. Cai should be ready to go bankrupt!
Speaking of this, Chu Huan looked down at Cai Zhiming and said, To be honest, I don't care about 30 million yuan, but if every factory that infringes on Fantasy Comics says what Cai Zhiming said, wouldn't I want to buy it? Let go!
Cai Zhiming's heart sank, and he could see that Chu Huan didn't seem to be joking, Mr. Chu, our company also has a production line for Transformers models and a toy model production line for Dragon Ball. Immediately send it to the Youth Toy Factory, and hope that Director Chu can let our Rising Sun Toys go.
Your family has a big business, and we are just making small troubles, so I hope Director Chu will not forget the mistakes of villains, and give us a chance!
Chu Huan withdrew his stunning edge. Although later Cai Zhiming was regarded as the top rich man in Xiangjiang, he is really nothing in Chu Huan's eyes now.
But Chu Huan is now biased against him, naturally there are conditions.
What Chu Huan is interested in is the models and production lines of Cai Zhiming Xuri Toys.
Those two model production lines, plus the workers on these two production lines in your factory! Chu Huan stated his conditions, If Mr. Cai agrees, then the thirty million can be reduced to fifteen million, and at the same time Pay off in one year!
By the way, those workers must be mature workers!
Youth toys are not short of money, people, or equipment.
But model production takes time, and talent training also takes time.
If you can get ready-made models and workers from Rising Sun Toys, although these seem to be a drop in the bucket compared to the entire Youth Toy Factory.
But it can still bring a lot of benefits to youth toys.
Cai Zhiming fell into silence at this time. Cai Zhiming is naturally an extremely smart person who can start from scratch and create tens of billions of property in the future.
Immediately understood what Chu Huan meant!
Agreeing to Chu Huan's request, Youth Toys will definitely have to leave all the mature workers in its factory. This is definitely a painful loss for Rising Sun Toys.
If they don't agree to Chu Huan's request, Rising Sun Toys will face being sued, and at the same time it is very likely to be enforced.
At that time, I may have nothing left!
In the end, Cai Zhiming can only choose the lesser of two evils!
Reluctantly, she agreed to Chu Huan's request.
Chu Huan smiled again, called Zhong Zhichen and asked him to contact Cai Zhiming.
After Cai Zhiming left, Xu Yi came to Chu Huan's office.
Boss, Mr. Guo Bingxiang and Mr. Zheng Jiachun called you before and told you not to forget the party with them tonight!
Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, and asked, When did I agree to meet with them?
Xu Yi said: At noon the day before yesterday, Mr. Guo called and said that you hadn't seen each other since you came back from Taiwan Island. In addition, they also wanted to discuss with you about Huaye City.
Chu Huan remembered this incident, and said, Got it, you can call their office later and tell them about Huaye City, and ask them to find Lu Qi and Bao Tianming!
Xu Yi knew that it was because Chu Huan was not going to the appointment tonight, so he nodded with a smile, Got it.
Looking at the time, it was almost time to get off work. Chu Huan directly told Xu Yi to get off work by himself. From now on, anyone who calls to find him will just say he doesn't know.
Chu Huan, who left Jiahu Building, did not return directly to the villa in Repulse Bay, but went to True News.
When the car came to the underground parking lot of the office building where True News was located, Gu Chengxi was already waiting for Chu Huan in his car.
Chu Huan got out of his car and came directly to Gu Chengxi's car. Seeing Chu Huan's movements, Gu Chengxi in the car gave Chu Huan a suspicious look. Finally, seeing Chu Huan's firm attitude, a smile appeared on his face. The car moved to the co-pilot's position.
Chu Huan sat in the driver's seat, kicked the accelerator, and the car drove out of the underground parking lot, with Li Zhenguo and others driving behind.
Inside the car, Gu Chengxi looked at Chu Huan excitedly and said, Is it really possible?
Chu Huan laughed and said, What's wrong!
yes!
Gu Chengxi made excited movements in the car.
The two drove to the Ocean Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui.
After getting out of the car, the two put on masks, while Gu Chengxi held Chu Huan's arm and went shopping like an ordinary couple.
What made Gu Chengxi so happy was actually that this afternoon, Chu Huan called her and asked the two of them to go shopping together.
This is the simplest thing for ordinary couples, but for Gu Chengxi, it seems a bit extravagant.
First of all, Chu Huan's identity showed that it was difficult for the two of them to have the opportunity to appear in public, and they met more often in the apartment.
Although Gu Chengxi didn't care about these things, she would be very happy if she could go shopping with Chu Huan in an open and honest manner.
Secondly, after Chu Huan came back from Los Angeles, he hadn't seen Gu Chengxi yet, which made Gu Chengxi miss him very much.
Are you sure your sister won't see you here? Chu Huan asked Gu Chengxi with a smile.
Gu Chengxi told Chu Huan before that Gu Xiaomei sells women's clothing in this mall.
Gu Chengxi smiled sweetly: Don't worry, my little sister is resting today, and she must be at home now!
Chu Huan said indifferently: I have nothing to worry about. You are the one who dare not let others know about our relationship!
Gu Chengxi said coquettishly: Aren't I thinking of you, you don't want outsiders to know the relationship between True News and you now, if you let outsiders know our relationship, then you are the boss behind True News Things must be known.
Chu Huan chuckled, and said, So that's how it is. Then, in order to reward you, if you spend whatever you want today, Mr. Chu will pay for it for you!
Question: When a man and a woman are together, when does a woman think a man is the most handsome?
Answer: When a woman begs for mercy, but a man refuses to forgive her!
Q: Uh. That's one correct answer, but there's another one!
A: What answer?
Q: When it's time to pay!
The two of them just walked around the same shop, and soon Chu Huan's hands were full. Chu Huan looked at Gu Chengxi, who was still shopping ahead, and shook his head slightly. It seems that no matter what kind of woman is shopping From the street, they are all so vigorous.
As Chu Huan turned his head, Li Zhenguo, holding back a smile, came over, took away the many bags in Chu Huan's hand, and put them back in the car.
In a women's clothing store in the shopping mall on the second floor of the Ocean Terminal, the little girl Gu Chengxi said was taking a break today turned out to be chatting with her colleagues.
It's just that Gu Xiaomei's expression at this time is not very good-looking.
Little sister, didn't you say that you are going to become a singer? Why do you still come to work here?
Gu Xiaomei's colleague Yang Yangzheng asked jokingly, seemingly concerned.
At the end of last year, Gu Xiaomei also participated in the Xiangjiang Rookie Singing Contest jointly organized by Li's TV and Youyu Records, but she didn't even pass the qualifiers and was rejected!
This is the pain in Gu Xiaomei's heart during this time.
Seeing that Gu Xiaomei didn't answer, Yangyang's smile became brighter and brighter. The jealousy among girls is so simple. For example, Gu Xiaomei is prettier than her, and Gu Xiaomei's affirmative tone at that time made Yangyang feel very uncomfortable. Happy, so now when Yangyang is free, he will use this matter to stimulate Gu Xiaomei.
By the way, little girl, look below, it looks like the champion, runner-up and third runner-up of this year's Rookie Singing Contest are performing?
The Rookie Singing Contest has ended, and the champion, runner-up and third runner-up have been selected. In order to quickly increase their popularity in Xiangjiang, Youyu Records has arranged for the three of them to perform in major shopping malls in Xiangjiang during this period of time to consolidate their popularity. own popularity.
It just so happens that the shopping mall they performed today is the shopping mall in the Ocean Terminal.
Little sister, if you really became the champion of the Rookie Singing Contest as you said, you should be among the three below now, right?
Yangyang stood beside Gu Xiaomei, still preaching relentlessly.
But Gu Xiaomei didn't listen to Yang Yang's words at all at this time, but fixed her gaze on a familiar figure among the crowd in the square below.
This familiar figure was naturally Gu Chengxi.
At this time, Gu Chengxi was pulling Chu Huan, and there were three people performing hard in the stands!
I don't know who this Yuyu Records company is. It's so powerful. It held such a rookie singing contest as soon as it opened. Fortunately, we found Lin Zixiang, Guan Zhengjie, and Ye Zhentang, three powerful singers!
Gu Chengxi looked at the three people on the stage. Although they were not as excited as the fans, they still preached curiously.
Chu Huan already knew the result of this rookie singing contest from Chen Haichao.
Champion Lin Zixiang, runner-up Guan Zhengjie, third runner-up Ye Zhentang!
Among them, the one Chu Huan is most familiar with is naturally Lin Zixiang who was still very active in the time when he was reborn.
And on the short video platform at that time, the video about Lin Zixiang singing Ten Twelve Inches at an award ceremony was even adored by many people.
Directly sang and split Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guoying!
As for Guan Zhengjie, Ye Zhentang and Chu Huan are not as familiar with Lin Zixiang as they are. They have only heard their songs, but they really have no impression of him as a real person.
It is too old, and these two people are not so active in later generations.
In Chu Huan's impression, Guan Zhengjie sang songs such as The Change of the Silkworm, Remnant Dream, The Fishing Boat Sings the Night, etc. Later, when Zhang Geshen debuted, the songs sung in the singing competition were also Guan Zhengjie's songs.
As for Ye Zhentang, his representative work seems to be the theme song Hero Huo Yuanjia of Huo Yuanjia!
There are no other impressions.
But no matter what, since their songs can be heard by people like Chu Huan, it already shows that they must have been very popular in the 1970s.
This shows that this rookie singing contest held by Youyu Records is still very successful.
Have you ever heard them sing?
Chu Huan asked Gu Chengxi.
Gu Chengxi nodded and said: Of course I've heard it. Don't you know that in the last round of this singing contest, the ratings of Li's TV broke through 75%. It's the first time that Li's TV beat TVB by such a big gap!
At this time, the two major TV stations in Xiangjiang, Li's TV and Wireless Station, most of the time, Wireless Station beats Li's TV, but occasionally, Li's TV can also fight back.
However, as Gu Chengxi said, when the ratings of Li's TV programs reached 75%, it was still very rare.
It cannot be said that there is less, it should be said that there is no such thing at all!
Now this record has been broken by the Rookie Singing Contest. Although it has nothing to do with the fact that this kind of program rarely appears in Xiangjiang, what is really important is that Lin Zixiang, Guan Zhengjie, and Ye Zhentang are really too strong.
The three have already attracted a group of diehard fans.
Chu Huan shook his head with a smile and said, I didn't pay much attention.
Gu Chengxi didn't think much about it. This kind of program was originally for journalists and young people. Although Chu Huan was also young in his age category, Chu Huan's status destined him not to pay attention to such things. people.
Under the introduction of the host, the three people on the stage took turns to sing on stage, and the fans in the audience would applaud when their favorite idol came on stage!
Chu Huan and Gu Chengxi looked at it for a while, then turned around and prepared to leave.
But when the two turned around, they saw a young girl in the clothes of a shopping mall salesperson standing behind them, with her hands on her hips, looking at them with a complacent expression!
When Gu Chengxi saw the other party, his face changed suddenly. The girl was naturally Gu Xiaomei.
Gu Xiaomei has always suspected that her sister is dating, but she doesn't know who she is. Today, she accidentally saw her sister when she was working as a substitute.
No wonder she called home today to ask if she was going to work today!
Although Gu Chengxi had his back to Gu Xiaomei at the time, his sister could immediately recognize her even with a back!
So she was ready to take a good look at who this mysterious man who was dating her sister was.
At this time Chu Huan was still wearing a mask, but even so, Gu Xiaomei recognized Chu Huan at the first sight.
Gu Chengxi was nervous, Chu Huan didn't care, and Gu Xiaomei was dumbfounded. In the noisy environment, the three of them seemed to be fixed somewhere.
Gu Chengxi was the first to react, and when she was about to go forward to say something to Gu Xiaomei, Gu Xiaomei suddenly stretched her hands forward and groped indiscriminately, saying in her mouth: It's strange, why can't I see anything? It's so strange, no way. I have to go to the hospital immediately!
As he spoke, he turned around and left. Just two steps away, he changed from walking to running all the way in an instant, avoiding here.
Even Chu Huan was confused by such an operation.
What is this operation?
It's over, it's over, it's time to let my mommy know.
Where Gu Chengxi stood, his expression became a little complicated.
Both relief and worry.
Chu Huan joked: You hurt me a lot, am I that shameful?
Gu Chengxi glanced at Chu Huan coquettishly, and said, You know that's not what I meant!
Chu Huan naturally knew that Gu Chengxi didn't mean that. It was just that his identity was quite special. Gu's mother also knew about Cao Yunshang, and she didn't want her daughter to just follow him without a name.
If you want your sister not to tell your mommy, there is no other way! Chu Huan laughed.
Gu Chengxi immediately looked at Chu Huan, and asked expectantly, What way?
Chu Huan said with a smile: Didn't you say that your sister likes brand-name bags, so just pick one here and give it to her later.
Gu Chengxi said: In this situation, a brand-name bag may not be able to shut her mouth!
My younger sister knew that if she wanted to gag Gu Xiaomei, she would bleed profusely this time.
Chu Huan said confidently: A famous brand bag is naturally impossible, but what if you add a contract with Yuyu Records?
Gu Chengxi looked at Chu Huan suddenly, You founded Youyu Records?
Chu Huan nodded and said, It's about the same. It's similar to the situation of True News.
Gu Chengxi was stunned. She never thought that Youyu Records, which is so popular in Xiangjiang, would be Chu Huan's company, but after thinking about it, she felt it was a matter of course.
Chu Huan was able to secretly start True News, so naturally he was able to start Youyu Records!
For ordinary people, the investment in setting up a record company may be huge, but for Chu Huan, it may be the investment in buying a lot at an auction.
It seems that when I go back, I have to check those mysterious companies in Xiangjiang! Gu Chengxi said angrily to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan chuckled and said, I've done you such a big favor, how are you going to repay me?
Gu Chengxi was stunned for a moment, and said aggrievedly: This is between the two of us!
Chu Huan laughed and said, But you have to face your mommy!
Gu Chengxi had no choice but to ask, What do you want to do? Anyway, I'm yours now, and what you want, isn't it up to you?
Chu Huan shook his head, and said meaningfully: I have said some things, but you have never agreed to them!
Gu Chengxi looked suspicious, then blushed, she knew what Chu Huan was talking about.
That, that, I'll help you when I go back tonight
Chu Huan laughed, and said: Then we can make an agreement, then you should hurry to find your sister, and I will go to the toy city.
Today, Chu Huan came to the shopping mall of Ocean Terminal Building. Although he was accompanying Gu Chengxi to spend the two-person world, at the same time, Chu Huan also wanted to see the situation of the toy mall.
Although some things have already been marked on Yutou, how can She Ziming know, but since he has the opportunity to come here, seeing is believing and he can know the things here more intuitively.
Gu Chengxi also knew that Chu Huan had been busy with the toy factory recently, so he nodded.
The two split up, Chu Huan went to the toy store, Gu Chengxi went to buy a bag, and then went to bribe his sister. After a while, the two met in the parking lot.
Chu Huan came to the toy store on the second floor first. After entering, he saw that at least one-third of the goods on the shelves were empty.
It can be seen how much imitation toys around Fantasy Comics were sold in this toy city.
Sir, what do you need?
A shopping guide saw Chu Huan coming in and immediately stepped forward to inquire.
Chu Huan said: I heard that you have figures of Transformers here, why don't you have them now?
The shopping guide smiled as usual: Sir, you misunderstood, we have never sold figures of Transformers here, but you can wait, the Youth Toy Factory will be completed soon, and we will have Transformers here. It's done!
Sure enough, he is professional, and he doesn't even bat an eye when he tells a lie.
Chu Huan complained silently, and said, But I heard from my friend that he bought it from you!
The shopping guide said with a smile: That must be the gentleman, you must have misheard. We really don't buy Transformers figures here.
Chu Huan nodded and said nothing.
Then they casually strolled here. The shopping guide saw that Chu Huan didn't look like he was going to make a purchase, so he let Chu Huan make his own choice.
After shopping around for a while, Chu Huan saw that many customers were asking about toys related to Fantasy Comics. What's going on?
Apart from these people, there are few people who want to buy Gu Long and Jin Yong's novels and various weapons adapted from comics.
From this we can see how popular the peripherals of Fantasy Comics are.
While Chu Huan was shopping in the toy store, Gu Chengxi also bought a bag worth 8,000 Hong Kong dollars, and Yang Wei followed behind to pay for Chu Huan.
Then Gu Chengxi came to the shop where Gu Xiaomei worked, while Yang Wei stood guard outside the door.
Seeing Gu Chengxi coming in, Gu Xiaomei's face became complicated, but when she saw the bag in Gu Chengxi's hand, her eyes lit up.
In fact, not only her eyes lit up, but also Yang Yang's eyes lit up beside her. To be a shopping guide here, one needs eyesight, so she naturally knows the value of the bag in Gu Chengxi's hand.
So when Gu Xiaomei was still thinking about whether to accept her sister's bribe, Yangyang had already come to Gu Chengxi's side first: Miss, what do you need? Our store is full of the latest styles of the season!
Gu Chengxi smiled politely: I'm sorry, I'm here to find Miss Gu!
Also, at eight o'clock in the morning~~
