A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 187 Take it lightly
Since meeting Shen Bi, Cao Zhihua has accelerated his layout.

Cao Zhihua was already prepared for the emergence of A goods on Hong Kong Island.

After all, Chinese copycats are notoriously powerful and cannot be stopped.

What Cao Zhihua didn't expect was that this time it was the four major foreign companies that came to the village. Cao Zhihua was no longer afraid.

Different races have different intensity of coping. It is not so easy for white-skinned people to integrate into the Chinese life circle.

Naturally, there will be many loopholes for Cao Zhihua to break through one by one.

The first person Cao Zhihua visited was the person in charge of the domestic newspaper.

He is also the person in charge of Hong Kong Island in China.
Silk cooperation matters were discussed and a framework agreement was finally reached.
In the future, all domestic silk exports will be contracted by Cao Zhihua's Zhihua Group at normal export prices.

Cao Zhihua's Zhihua Group settled everything with U.S. dollars.

However, the plan still needs to be disseminated to the country for final approval before it can be implemented.

Cao Zhihua had no intention of making much money from the re-export trade of silk.
It mainly monopolizes high-end materials for underwear, which is re-export trade. Except for the silk retail stores of Zhihua Group in the future, there will not be any large-scale silk orders in Hong Kong Island.

After directly monopolizing the materials, they just want to copycat, and quality problems are their fatal shortcomings. Any copycat product will set off the high-end image of the genuine product, which will be conducive to the high pricing of Victoria's Secret suits.

Although this cannot completely avoid all losses, it is still within Cao Zhihua's control.

The rest of the time, Cao Zhihua focused on the information collection of the four major foreign banks and Hengnong Group.

As more information is collected, Cao Zhihua's team comes up with more and more various solutions.

This is a business war involving billions of dollars. No one in the company dares to take it lightly. They put forward various feasible ideas and then repeatedly deduced various ideas.

Every leader at the top of the company has been stressed out by the company's atmosphere recently.

Everyone is a benefit recipient of Zhihua Group, and their interests are consistent with Zhihua Group.

So everyone is trying to find a way to break the situation, and the first plan decided is for Hengnong Group.

Hengnong Group recently developed three properties on Hong Kong Island at the same time.

The results of the pre-sales are very good, all have been sold out, and we are working hard to build.

Now the Zhihua Industrial Chain Alliance has locked in almost all the manufacturers and suppliers of raw materials and building materials provided by Hengnong Group, and targeted acquisitions.

Cao Zhihua was also waiting for Shen Bi's reply. After all, he agreed to wait for news from him, but he turned around and took action.

Both sides looked ugly, and they offended Shen Bi for no reason. There was no need.

But no matter what, Zhihua Group’s preliminary preparations have been sufficient.
After the acquisition of the industrial chain alliance is completed, everything will be ready and all that is left is Dongfeng.

If Cao Zhihua gives the order, the arrows will be launched with overwhelming force.

Hong Kong Island is a very small place, especially the rich and powerful here, who are all connected with each other, one after another.

It didn't take long for the entire top management of Hong Kong Island to know that the four major foreign banks were eyeing Cao Zhihua's core industry.

In addition to the quarrels between the white-skinned senior executives, the Chinese businessmen were in a state of relative unity.

Although Zhihua Group mainly relies on foreign countries to make money and does not have much contact with Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong Island, now Zhihua Group has become the leader in the hearts of Chinese businessmen.

They are all silently cheering for Zhihua Group, silently providing information support, and putting pressure on the Hong Kong government.

Even the four major established Chinese families put pressure on the Hong Kong government.

It is really the nature of what the foreign company did this time is too bad.

If things are going like this, who would dare to continue doing business on Hong Kong Island? If we can have a sense of security on Hong Kong Island.

The senior officials of the Hong Kong government, also under Shen Bi's actions, talked to the executives of the four major foreign banks one by one.

"John, what you are doing now is very bad in nature.

Now the entire wealthy class in Hong Kong is paying attention to this matter.

Our Hong Kong government is now under great pressure.

If one thing goes wrong, the entire economy of Hong Kong Island will be destroyed.
So I'm here to warn you, don't do anything, don't make any moves.

Now is not the old Qing Dynasty, where you could do whatever you wanted with a few muskets. "

John Madden was not afraid of the Chief Secretary for Administration. After looking at each other, Qi Dezun said disdainfully:

"Hong Kong Island is the Hong Kong Island of our Great Eagle Country, but a mere wealthy Chinese man has been disturbed, so what?
How dare he resist? "

The Chief Secretary for Administration flushed with anger, pointed at John Madden and said:

"John, if you don't listen to the Hong Kong government's warning and insist on taking action, don't blame me for not warning you. You won't get any help from the Hong Kong government.

Aren't you awesome?Aren’t you strong?
I want to see who is more powerful, you or Cao. "

Qi Dezun quickly stepped forward to be the peacemaker and said:
“Director, we don’t necessarily want Cao’s core industry.

We only want the sales agent rights for his products, so that shouldn’t be too much, right?

To whom does his product go to be sold or not? "

"Hey, although I'm not a businessman, others are not fools either. With your looks, Cao Dare to give you the sales agency right?
He was afraid that he didn't die quickly enough.

In short, I have conveyed the Governor's intention to you myself.

Don't take action, don't disrupt the economic situation of Hong Kong Island,

Otherwise, the Hong Kong Governor will report the situation directly to the Queen when necessary.

What you are doing is harming the interests of Her Majesty the Queen.

Don't say I didn't warn you, once you choose to take action,

Even if one of your companies goes bankrupt, the Hong Kong government will not intervene. If you want to die, just die yourself.

I’m not afraid to tell you that Cao’s liquidity in the bank exceeds at least HKD 40 billion.

Now all the rich people in the Hong Kong government are staring at this matter to see how the Hong Kong government chooses.

If you choose to play this game, don't come to the Hong Kong government, no one will choose to help you.

Because once the Hong Kong government gets involved, these rich people will basically run away, so you should think carefully about it yourself.

Okay, I've said what I need to say, you can think about it yourself, I'm leaving first. "

After the four senior class members saw the director leaving, they looked at each other distressedly, and finally Qi Dezun spoke:
"Gentlemen, this is the situation now.
The Hong Kong government has given us a stern warning, so if we continue to act,
Then don’t expect the Hong Kong government to come forward.

So let’s evaluate what our chances of winning are if we attack Cao together. "

Although John Madden is greedy, he is not stupid. He said viciously:
“This group of politicians who are riding horses will say anything when they ask us for money, and when we ask them to come forward, they are all grandsons.

How to fight this?Cao's industry has formed a closed loop.
Even if we make a fake, we can't make it fatal.

In the market he is developing now, people are staring at imitation products all day long, and they find one after another. Since he has the patent, we will definitely lose the lawsuit.

His existing sales channels cannot be affected, the Hong Kong government does not come forward, and 14k is not enough.
We can't catch his loopholes at all,
Unless his family is threatened with kidnapping. "

Qi Dezun said quickly:
"This approach of destroying the bottom line of the game is absolutely unacceptable. If you want to die, don't take us with you.

You don’t think that you are the only one who can scream movingly, but Cao can’t, right? "

John Keswick also said to John Madden angrily:

"What the hell are you proposing? All the high-level officials in Hong Kong are looking at us now.
If we only use commercial means to operate, then of course everyone will have nothing to say.

You must know that Cao is now world-famous. If other methods are used, I can say with certainty that everyone will be finished. The impact will be too great.

So everyone should evaluate how much capital we need to invest in normal business competition and how likely we are to win.
There is also the question of whether there are any major loopholes in our own business. Otherwise, if we don’t get enough of the meat, our own business will die first, which is not fun at all. "

Qi Dezun said:
“Since the Hong Kong government does not support it, our success rate of doing it ourselves is not high.
I think it would be more appropriate to discuss how we can make a dignified exit. "

John Keswick must have understood Qi Dezun’s thoughts, nodded and said:

"Since HSBC's Shen Bi persuaded the Hong Kong government to make peace, we have to get something back, right?"

John Madden immediately continued:
"With our global channels, we can definitely win the sales rights of Victoria brand products, right? It's a win-win situation."

Qi Dezun couldn't stand this Ma Deng anymore. He was really greedy and stupid. He rolled his eyes and said:

"We can't negotiate this deal. The director has just named us. I think we should be more pragmatic and talk about something we can get."

Shiyue Shihuaiya listened for a long time without expressing an opinion, and suddenly asked:
"Do you think Cao's side, out of the core industry, what else is worthy of us?"

Madden said decisively:

"I think the industrial chain alliance in Cao's hands should be good. I think we can talk about it."

Qi Dezun, Shi Yoke, Shi Huaiya, and John Keswick all felt that since Cao valued this industry so much, it should be very good.
So they all nodded, and John Keswick said:

"We have taken a step back. I believe Mr. Shen Bi can feel our sincerity.

Since this is the case, Mr. Qi Dezun, please make an appointment with Mr. Shen Bi so that we can have a good communication with him about the armistice. "

Qi Dezun nodded and said:
"No problem. Tomorrow is the weekend. Let's ask Mr. Shen Bi to go out to sea for some fun?"

While the four major foreign banks were communicating, Cao Zhihua also got some very good news.
Many Yuan came to Cao Zhihua's office just now and told him that if white-skinned people use non-commercial means to compete, Cao Zhihua will not sit idly by in China and will support Cao Zhihua.

Cao Zhihua actually does not want to use domestic support. After all, if the relationship is exposed, the white-skinned people will be extremely concerned about Cao Zhihua, and even use small means to suppress him secretly. Many things that Cao Zhihua will do on Hong Kong Island will be difficult to handle in the future.

However, this news is timely. If the result of the negotiation is not satisfactory this time, if action is taken, the worst result will be taken care of.

Compared with Shen Bi, Cao Zhihua definitely believes in domestic people more.

Now Cao Zhihua can just wait for the opponent to make a move.

"Ding Ding Ding"

Cao Zhihua saw the phone call that suddenly came to his mind, picked it up and said:

"Hello, who is it?"

"Zhihua, it's me, is it convenient for you to talk now?"

"It's convenient, Dad, you tell me."

"Now the news that the four major foreign banks are planning to take action on your industry has caused a sensation in the Chinese business circle.

This time, the most prominent Chinese people in Hong Kong Island have basically expressed their full support for us.

The main reason is that you don't socialize too much and it's hard for them to contact you, so they all came to me.

So this time not only all Chinese media will fully support us and put pressure on the Hong Kong government.

Chinese businessmen from all walks of life want to do their part.

Now if there is any trouble, these people will immediately pass on the news to me. "

Cao Zhihua said with a smile:
"It seems that our family has to owe a lot of favors to go out this time."

"Yes, everyone is paying close attention to this matter. If these idiots dare to rob you blatantly, they will rob any of them.

So everyone hopes you can hold on. "

"It seems that this time I am taking the lead and helping everyone resist the pressure from the white-skinned people."

"Yes, this is no longer the Qing Dynasty.

This is Hong Kong Island. No matter what, we still rely on the motherland and can still go abroad.

These white-skinned people still dare to do this. If you don't hold on, I guess all these Chinese businessmen will run away. "

Cao Zhihua smiled happily and said:

"Dad, don't worry. With so much attention being paid to Hong Kong Island now, the Hong Kong government will definitely not dare to give up.
It’s just a purely commercial competition. In fact, we have won now.

With the current strength of our Zhihua Group and the cash holdings of these foreign banks, I don’t know how I could lose.

What I'm thinking about now is how far I should hit them once I take action. "

"Haha, Zhihua, are you so confident?"

"Yes, if these foreign companies are not supported by the white-skinned government, their strength is actually the same.

Their previous profits were all divided, and now the industry is said to be spread all over the world.
To put it bluntly, the power is too spread out. I only need to cut off my flesh piece by piece. What can they do to me?

Maybe after my weak point is discovered, someone will target them, and they will have to shed their skin even if they don't die. "

When Lou Bancheng heard that Cao Zhihua had such a conceited attitude, he also relaxed in his heart and said:
"Zhihua, all joking, but don't be careless. They are a century-old company. Whether it is connections or the ability to raise funds, they are unparalleled. So I think Zhihua should give it more thought."

When Cao Zhihua heard what Lou Bancheng said, he thought it made sense.
And I feel that I have been too optimistic recently, and have not considered many things in place, and have not responded to them.

So the answer is:

"Dad, your reminder was very timely. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have been too optimistic after confirming that the Hong Kong government did not dare to end.

We should really take into account the connections and funds behind the foreign banks, and then formulate targeted policies. "

"Haha, you just need to know what's going on. I'm just afraid that you'll take it lightly. I won't be careful about anything else. I have confidence in you."
