Chapter 308 Target: TVB (7K chapter, please subscribe~)
Since Chu Huan is planning Li \u0026 Fung Group, it is naturally impossible to reconcile with Li \u0026 Fung Group.
Externally, the Toy General Chamber of Commerce was established for the sake of Xiangjiang's toy industry. Internally, it was the second contest between Chu Huan and Li \u0026 Fung Group!
But this time the contest will not be so bloody and bloody. Everyone will use their own skills to see who can get more support.
Now it seems that in the Chamber of Commerce, Chu Huan has received more support!
But this is only on the surface, because neither the toy manufacturer nor the toy retailer has any direct interest relationship with Chu Huan.
Toy manufacturers cannot get the production rights of Fantasy Comics peripherals, and toy retailers cannot get the sales rights of Fantasy Comics peripherals.
Now it is only because Chu Huan waived their compensation that they have some respect for Chu Huan and are more interested in joining the Toy General Chamber of Commerce.
But no matter what, after this incident, the establishment of the Toy General Chamber of Commerce finally has no obstacles.
Then there are endless internal meetings to discuss the purpose of the Toy General Chamber of Commerce.
Those in charge of the meeting were Zhong Zhichen from Youth Toys, Qin Tianheng from Tianhua Toys, and Feng Guojing from Lifeng Toys. None of the three companies sent their real big bosses.
In addition, there are Cai Zhiming of Rising Sun Toys, Chen Dahe of Colorful Star Toys, and several other powerful toy manufacturers and producers in Xiangjiang. Bill!
Yingzhijie has already introduced it before. As for Swire Toys, it is actually a subsidiary of Swire \u0026 Co., one of the four major British foreign companies. When this trading company was first established, it focused more on the import and export of cloth, cotton yarn, sugar and other commodities.
Later, with the rise of the toy industry in Xiangjiang, Swire Trading also got involved, but unlike Li \u0026 Fung and Yingzhijie, they were only responsible for retail, not including the supply of raw materials.
But no matter what, Swire Toys still has a place in Xiangjiang!
Everyone got together and held meetings on and off for a month before they decided on some functions and powers of the Toy General Chamber of Commerce!
First of all, the purpose of the Toy General Chamber of Commerce is to protect and promote the best interests of the Hong Kong toy industry, and to promote the development of the industry in the local and international markets. The association is committed to strengthening the industry's awareness of product safety.
At the same time, the chamber of commerce should cooperate with relevant local and international organizations in Hong Kong, including the Toy Industry Advisory Committee of the Hong Kong Trade Development Bureau, the International Toy Industry Association and the Asian Toy Industry Committee, to establish a communication platform for the industry in various regions and enhance the international recognition of the association.
As for the service scope of chambers of commerce, there are roughly four points.
1. The Chamber of Commerce organizes different types of activities, such as seminars and workshops, according to the interests and needs of the industry.
2. The Chamber of Commerce often meets and communicates with official representatives of Heung Kong and around the world to reflect opinions for the industry and bring synergistic benefits to all parties.
3. The Chamber of Commerce distributes information about the local and international toy industry to members from time to time, including the latest international product safety regulations, international toy exhibitions, and the latest developments in the industry.
4. Members can enjoy various services provided by the Federation of Hong Kong Industries at preferential prices, including origin visa services, Hong Kong Q-Mark certification services, intellectual property services, etc.
In addition, the Federation of Hong Kong Industries regularly invites members to participate in study tours, seminars, conferences and training courses.
Among them, Xiangjiang Q-Mark certification service is a quality certification issued by the chamber of commerce. Professionals from all walks of life will be hired to conduct quality certification for the toys produced by Xiangjiang.
It not only includes quality certification, but also service certification and environmental protection certification.
In other words, this Q-Mark certification will become a benchmark in the Xiangjiang toy industry in the future!
And this Q-Mark certification was also proposed by Zhong Zhichen under the instruction of Chu Huan.
After repeated discussions in the middle, most people finally got the consent, and then this proposal was passed!
The last step is to set the organizational structure of the chamber of commerce.
Among them, Chu Huan unexpectedly became the first president of Xiangjiang Toys General Chamber of Commerce, with a term of three years!
Feng Hanzhu of Li \u0026 Fung Group is the vice president, and his term of office is also three years!
Ben Wallace of Yingzhijie Toys is the secretary-general, and the rest are executive directors, including Qin Tianheng of Tianhua Toys.
In addition, Qin Shihong, chairman of Tianhua Toys, is the permanent honorary chairman of the Toy General Chamber of Commerce!
These are all things that are on the surface, but in private, the Toy General Chamber of Commerce is undercurrent.
Feng Guojing found many toy manufacturers and promised them a 3% reduction in the price of the previous raw material supply. This suggestion immediately won the support of many toy manufacturers for Lifeng Trading and formed a consensus in the chamber of commerce. power.
And Zhong Zhichen also found the toy retailers in Xiangjiang within a similar period of time, and agreed to grant them the right to sell the peripherals of Fantasy Comics, which also made these toy retailers in Xiangjiang immediately fall into Chu Huan's arms !
What they longed for and could not get before, but now Chu Huan took the initiative to find them, how could this not make these people happy.
Some people are happy, and some people are naturally unhappy.
Feng Guojing was in Feng's Mansion right now, expressing his opinion on this matter.
Are these retailers stupid? Did they forget that they were sued by Chu Huan before, or did they forget that if they could unite, they could get a bigger share of sales from Chu Huan? Just threw a bone, and they ran to Chu Huan's feet like crazy?
Feng Guojing couldn't help but not be angry. In order to win over those toy manufacturers, Li \u0026 Fung gave their own interests.
And what about Chu Huan?
He didn't show anything, although Chu Huan also has his own Toys R Us, but now all the toy retailers in Xiangjiang are selling peripheral toys of Fantasy Comics.
This will only increase the influence and sales volume of toys around Fantasy Comics, and bring more benefits to Chu Huan.
Comparing the hatchback, Li \u0026 Fung has fallen into a disadvantage.
Feng Hanzhu sighed: Of course they know, but they don't care. The imitation peripherals of Fantasy Comics have already proved their market value. Even our toy city had one-third of them before that. The profits come from the peripheral toys of Fantasy Comics, not to mention those small toy retailers, their profits account for a larger proportion.
And after Chu Huan's series of operations before, they already understood that whether they united or not, they could not form any pressure on Chu Huan.
To put it simply, they needed peripheral toys for Fantasy Comics, but Chu Huan didn't necessarily need them to increase sales.
the most important is
When Feng Hanzhu said this, the bitter melon color on Feng Hanzhu's face became more and more intense, More importantly, Chu Huan's Toys R Us does not sell other toys, but other toy retailers need to sell other toys. In this case, the sales of our Lifeng Toy City will definitely be affected!
So, Chu Huan has already made a move?
Feng Guojing couldn't help preaching.
The competition between Lifeng and Chu Huan has never ended, the Feng family knows this, and so does Chu Huan.
Feng Hanzhu seriously said to Feng Guojing: Guojing, Chu Huan is an unfathomable person. Now I know that when Chu Huan filed the lawsuit, he had already guessed this step, which shocked me. It’s because I don’t know what he wants until now, so when you deal with Chu Huan in the future, you have to be careful before you understand!”
A gleam flashed in Feng Guojing's eyes. Although the Feng family had been losing in the fight with Chu Huan before, Feng Guojing also lost confidence for a while, but after he regained his confidence, he felt a sense of confidence. With a strong fighting spirit.
No matter how you look at it, I should be better than Chu Huan, so the previous failures are just my own experience, and the future duel will be the real duel.
Daddy I know!
After a pause, Feng Guojing said: I am going to Japan, Europe and the United States to discuss cooperation with toy companies and comic companies there. As long as we have more toy brands in our hands, then our Lifeng Toys will definitely Can make up for the previous loss!
Feng Guojing nodded in satisfaction and said, Go ahead and do it boldly!
When the time entered May, Chu Huan had actually turned his attention away from Li \u0026 Fung Group.
Chu Huan understands that getting the Li \u0026 Fung Group is never something that happens overnight. Now that the progress of the whole thing is in his plan, there is nothing to worry about.
As long as the business of Li \u0026 Fung Group is hit little by little, when it is really pushed to a domino card that overwhelms Li \u0026 Fung Group, it will be the time for Chu Huan and Li \u0026 Fung Group to have a final battle.
So at this time Chu Huan had already set his sights on another matter.
Transformers animation released.
Yasuo Kamakura and Zhong Zhichen are responsible for the broadcast of Transformers on TV stations in other regions of the world, while Chu Huan is in charge of the Xiangjiang area.
This is not because Xiangjiang is more important. In fact, if you look at it purely in terms of benefits, the benefits generated by Xiangjiang's own port cannot be compared with the interests of Europe and the United States.
The real reason why Chu Huan went out to do this thing himself was because of the wireless station!
The world's first TV set was born in 1938, and Xiangjiang entered the TV world in the mid-1950s.
In March 1957, Lide Sound was officially started broadcasting, and it was switched from Lide Voice in the broadcasting industry. At that time, Li De was a cable TV, with a monthly fee of 25 Hong Kong dollars, and about 6 hours of broadcast at noon and evening every day.
At that time, the administrative director was Zhong Qiwen.
Li's is going through a peaceful life of dominating the screen for 10 years and having no competitors.
On November 19, 1967, an event that shook Li's dominance and led the revolution in Hong Kong's TV industry happened-Hong Kong Television Broadcasting Co., Ltd. (TVB) was formally established.
The chairman of the board of directors is Li Xiaohe of the Li Xishen family. Li's family is full of foreign water, and he feels that Li is far below the development level of Western TV. He also feels that TV is a hugely profitable and influential communication industry. Li Xiaohe He Hui, together with his younger brothers Li Rongsen and Li Rongda, invested in a joint stock, obtained a business license issued by the Hong Kong government, and invited film tycoon Shao Yifu and other celebrities and rich businessmen as directors.
On the opening day, Hong Kong Governor Dai Linzhi personally presided over the ceremony.
Xiangjiang TV, first of all, overwhelmed Li's in the lineup of leaders.
Xiangjiang TV uses the launch station to broadcast, so the citizens of Xiangjiang call it Wireless Station for short.
With the advantages of free, color, rich and colorful programs, and long broadcast time, TVB beat the old Ba Wang Li to a complete defeat.
At that time, a reporter published an article saying: The beauty is not beautiful, but the wireless is unlimited.
Visually describe the situation of the two.
In the face of new competition, Lidi has changed its old ways and changed it to wireless and color in February last year.
But it was too late, wireless has firmly occupied the market, and it is getting more and more active.
Everyone in the communication industry knows: hardware is easy to handle, but software is the most difficult. Software is programs. TVB has veteran Yifu Shaw as a shareholder director, and Shaw Studios has so many artists and facilities available for use. TVB's programs naturally overwhelm Lai TV.
At this time, there are only these two TV stations in Xiangjiang, but next year, Jiayi TV will appear, but Jiayi TV is not enough to shake the status of TVB and Lai TV.
So at that time, the Hong Kong TV industry was called a crane and two chickens.
Crane, of course it is a wireless station!
The wireless station at this time is not the era of Shao Yifu, but the era of Li Xiaohe!
Radio 77, Radio!
In a few years, it will be called Wutai Mountain in Xiangjiang, because it brings together three TV stations and two radio stations in Xiangjiang.
By the way, TVB's deadly rival, Lai's TV, is at No. 81 of Radio Lane!
The car Chu Huan was riding in slowly drove into the radio station.
For people of Chu Huan's age before rebirth, TVB really has a lot of childhood memories belonging to them.
The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Shanghai Beach, The Great Times, Genesis and a series of TV series, although Chu Huan no longer remembers the plots of most TV series, but the names can always be remembered .
It's strange to say that compared to these popular TV series, Chu Huan's deepest memory is actually two less popular TV series.
The first one was Sword of the Sun and Moon starring Guo Jin'an and Zhang Weijian. Chu Huan remembered that when he was a child, whenever he saw the sun and the moon in the sky at the same time in the morning and evening, he would think of this TV series.
The second part is Xia Ke Xing starring Liang Yingdi, and the jingle in it is really fun.
Shaking his head, Chu Huan put these messy thoughts behind him, and led by Li Xiaohe and his secretary to Li Xiaohe's office.
When mentioning TVB in later generations, everyone thinks of Yifu Shao, but in fact, as the founder of TVB, Li Xiaohe’s life experience is much more colorful than Yifu Shao’s.
Li Xiaohe is the third son of Li Jiali Xishen, one of the first four families in Xiangjiang.
Born in Hong Kong in 1909, he went to study in England at the age of 12. He graduated from Oxford University with a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Civil Law. He became a practicing lawyer in 1932.
In 1943, Li Xiaohe served as director of Huaguo Shenghai Commercial Savings Bank and chairman of Huaguo Pingzhun Foundation.
In 1946, Li Xiaohe was appointed as an advisor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Huaguo, a permanent representative of Huaguo to the United Nations and a special assistant to the chief representative of Huaguo in the UN Security Council, and as a member of the Huaguo delegation of Paris HT, he attended the Paris HH.
After the war, Li Xiaohe returned to Hong Kong to take charge of the family business. He concentrated on managing the business of the family group Hysan Land Co., Ltd. and invested in various aspects of development. director.
For such a legendary figure, if he hadn’t died suddenly in 1980, it would not have been so easy for Shao Yifu to take over the radio station.
Chu Huan came to Li Xiaohe's office. Li Xiaohe, who was over 60 years old, had half of his hair gray at this time. When he saw Chu Huan coming in, he had a smile on his face.
A Huan is here, please sit down!
Thank you Lion!
Chu Huan said with a smile.
Go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, A Huan, you came here in person this time, maybe there is something wrong? Li Xiaohe said with a hearty smile.
Although Li Xiaohe had never met Chu Huan, he was not unfamiliar with Chu Huan at all. In fact, no one in the Xiangjiang business community was unfamiliar with Chu Huan at this time.
But Li Xiaohe was still a little curious about Chu Huan's visit today. After all, during this period of time, everyone knew that Chu Huan was messing with people in the toy industry about the Toy General Chamber of Commerce.
Chu Huan said with a smile: This time I have something to ask for, and I came here to ask Leon for help!
The curiosity in Li Xiaohe's heart grew stronger, and he asked with a smile, This is a rare thing. With A Huan's appeal today, what else can I help you with in Xiangjiang?
Chu Huan said resolutely: There really is, and this matter can only be helped by Li Weng, no one else can!
Li Xiaohe showed a serious expression. As he said just now, there are not many things in Xiangjiang that can make Chu Huan visit in person.
Then I have to pay attention!
Chu Huan said with a smile: It's actually not a big deal. These days, our Fantasy Comics has cooperated with Hollywood's Rodham Animation to produce a TV animation of the same name as Transformers. Open the door of convenience and broadcast this TV animation on the wireless station!
Li Xiaohe was stunned by Chu Huan's words, not because what Chu Huan said was so important, but because what Chu Huan said was not a big deal at all in Li Xiaohe's opinion.
This kind of thing can be left to the people of Fantasy Comics to connect with the staff of their wireless station!
What am I supposed to be? Halfway through the words, Li Xiaohe was taken aback for a moment, and then exclaimed: A Huan, you are a bit big at this game of chess, and you actually use a TV animation to promote your upcoming toy ?”
Li Xiaohe guessed Chu Huan's intentions, and then sighed in his heart for Chu Huan's generosity.
Today's toys are basically divided into two categories.
The first category is those educational or general-purpose toys. These toys cost tens of thousands of dollars toy retailers at most, and an advertisement on a TV station is considered a big deal.
The second type is animation toys, but for this type of toy, there is a high probability that after the animation is released first, the sales of the animation are good, and then the same type of toy is released.
But now Chu Huan went to a Hollywood animation company to make animations in order to sell his toys.
Since Li Xiaohe is a TV station, he naturally knows the production cost of TV animation, especially the animation produced by a Hollywood animation company.
A TV animation with 20 or 30 episodes costs at least millions of Hong Kong dollars.
You bought Fantasy Comics so well, there is no need for it at all? Li Xiaohe couldn't understand Chu Huan's thoughts.
Chu Huan said with a smile: Do you always hope to have greater influence!
Li Xiaohe nodded, and said, Based on this alone, I can guarantee that after your Toys R Us opens, there will definitely be a lot of customers coming!
At this time, Li Xiaohe was a little envious of Chu Huan. If it was really what he said, then Chu Huan would have another company with a lot of cash in his hands.
In this era, let everyone envy!
Chu Huan said: I would like to thank Leon for his good words first.
Immediately, Li Xiaohe said with some embarrassment: However, our TV station has never been in the habit of buying outside works, and the production cost of your TV animation is definitely not low. If you want our TV station to buy it, A Huan, you have to Just give us a discounted price!
Chu Huan said with a smile: Lion, you are bullying me as a layman. I have never bought TV series and variety shows outside, but I have never bought cartoons!
Animations such as Astro Boy and Doraemon have all been broadcast on wireless stations.
But Leon, don't worry, this time, I didn't come to ask Leon for money. Our company's TV animation is going to be given to the wireless station for free!
Li Xiaohe was really surprised by Chu Huan's words this time. The TV animation that his company spent at least one million Hong Kong dollars to produce was actually going to be sent to his TV station for broadcast?
A Huan, are you joking?
Chu Huan said seriously: Lion, how can I make fun of this kind of thing, but our company also has a condition!
Li Xiaohe asked, What conditions?
That is to broadcast at 6:30 in the evening! Chu Huan stated his condition.
That's when the kids come home from school and turn on the TV.
Li Xiaohe understood Chu Huan's plan in an instant, and after thinking for a while, he said: I personally have no opinion on this cooperation with you, A Huan, but I still need to check with other people in the company if the cooperation can be successful. The content of this cartoon of yours!
Chu Huan said that this is naturally as it should be.
An hour later, Li Xiaohe showed an expression of exclamation again. He thought that the quality of the animation that Chu Huan gave in vain would not be very good, even if it was produced in Hollywood.
But when he watched it, he immediately understood that the TV animation of the same name of Transformers has surpassed the animation level of Japan in terms of the screen alone.
As for the story?
Li Xiaohe is still a bit old and cannot represent the opinions of most people, so Li Xiaohe specifically asked the manager of the wireless station production department.
After the other party said that there was absolutely no problem with the content of the story, Li Xiaohe decided to cooperate with Chu Huan!
Chu Huan was naturally very satisfied with the result, and said with a smile: I will arrange for someone to send the content of the next few episodes to ensure that your company has time to complete the dubbing work!
The production of Transformers TV animation was completed in Hollywood, and the people of Rogerim Animation also invited professional dubbing actors to dub, but it was dubbed in English after all.
If the wireless station is going to broadcast it, it must be switched to Cantonese. If it is broadcast on TV stations in other regions, it is also necessary to complete the dubbing work in local languages.
However, these matters need to be taken care of by each TV station.
Li Xiaohe said with a smile: That's no problem, the supply of one episode a week should be no problem, right?
Chu Huan said: Please rest assured Leon!
After talking about the business, Li Xiaohe still asked Chu Huan strangely: A Huan, I still don't understand, it's just such a thing, why don't you go there yourself?
Now Chu Huan is worth billions of dollars and has several companies in his hands. There must be countless things to deal with every day. Although this matter seems to be more important, compared to other jobs in Chu Huan's hands, Li Xiao He still felt that Chu Huan would not come here in person for such a matter!
This matter is naturally not possible, but if it is a wireless station, then it is.
Chu Huan now has a film company and a newspaper. In this era, only radio and TV stations are left in the media.
If there are these two industries, Chu Huan has basically completed his layout in the media industry, so the TV station must watch it.
Again, for this kind of content output-based industry, Chu Huan's rebirth advantage is actually not that great.
According to memory, Chu Huan knew that the TV series would bring huge ratings, and those variety shows were ace variety shows, but this did not allow Chu Huan to produce these shows.
Therefore, Chu Huan could only target a TV station that had already proved his success in another time and space.
Although Li's TV next door has been sold and acquired many times, no matter which owner it changes, its fate is the result of being beaten by wireless.
As for Jiayi TV, which will be established next year, it will be even more so.
So Chu Huan could only target the wireless station.
Regarding how Chu Huan got the wireless station, Chu Huan actually has a complete plan, but the implementation of this plan is not this year, but next year.
So now Chu Huan can take a look at his own industry in advance!
However, after getting the wireless station in his hands, Chu Huan hadn't figured out how to develop the wireless station.
I'm afraid if I say it, Leon will be angry!
Chu Huan said with a smile.
Li Xiao and Haha laughed, and said, Why should I be angry, Ah Huan, you don't really want to get the wireless station, do you?
Chu Huan waved his hand and said: Of course it won't happen. In fact, Fang Jianhui told me some time ago that he wanted to set up an artist training class for black and white images. In the whole of Xiangjiang, I don't think there should be any artist training class that can do that. The wireless was successful, so I came here specially this time to learn from it!
Shaw Yifu's Shaw Brothers Southland artist training class has been discontinued, and it has been replaced by TVB's artist training class.
Chu Huan definitely couldn't say that he wanted to acquire Wireless, so he used this reason to deal with Li Xiaohe.
After Li Xiaohe listened, he said with a smile: It turns out that this is the matter. Why am I so unhappy? Brother Shao should be unhappy, but I think there should be very few people in Xiangjiang who can refuse you, Ah Huan. requested.
How about I arrange for someone to show you around now?
Thank you Leon!
It’s gone today, thank you everyone~ The next chapter will be tomorrow at 12 o’clock in the morning~
