Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon

Chapter 574: 4 Donkey Kong

However, Chen Tinghua stuck to his position. He believed that the investment in relocating the factory was too large, and the key was to produce and sell the right way. He found that more and more people were fashionable to wear denim shirts and pants, and he immediately launched air spinning for weaving denim. Due to the availability of "local materials", Hong Kong and the mainland have become the world's largest denim garment production base.

By 1983, Nanfeng had a monthly output of 50,000 bales of cotton yarn, accounting for more than 60% of the Hong Kong cotton yarn market. Its dominance is unrivaled.

The tentacles of Zhou Wenxuan and An Zijie extend to almost every field of the textile industry.

The Huanan Dyeing Factory initially only dyed yarn. Zhou's An's is well aware of this truth. The closer a product is to consumption, the higher its added value.

For example, selling grain is worse than selling rice, and selling noodles is worse than selling cakes. The South China Dyeing Factory saved a certain amount of money, and then imported printing machines from the United Kingdom through loans, and bought white grey cloth from the weaving factory to print and sell it.

Zhou Wenxuan said: "Color and pattern are very important. The cost of white grey fabric and printing and dyeing is the same, and the difference in color pattern will cause a huge difference in price."

Fertilizer water does not flow into the field of outsiders. They have successively established Yongnan City Factory, Zhongnan Spinning Factory, and Yongsheng Shirt Factory to realize one-stop production series of spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, and garment making.

In addition, they also established a textile trading company, which provides a package of services from purchasing cotton to bringing finished products to the market. Each department is relatively independent, with division of labor and cooperation, and its business scope is not limited to the Nanlian Group.

Same way. Both Nanlian's comprehensive management and Nanfeng's dedicated management have achieved good results. Winsor has emerged in the textile industry with veterans and strong players, and has become a dark horse in the industry.

An Zijie is an excellent social activist.

In the 1960s, only a small number of Heungkong textiles entered the European and American markets. An Zijie, who was proficient in many languages ​​and enthusiastic about social activities, was elected as the head of the Heungkong Textile Group by his peers. An Zijie lived up to his mission and led the group to 17 European and American countries. , making important contributions to the entry of Heungkong Textiles into the European and American markets.

Since then, An Yujie has been elected as the chairman of the Xiangjiang Cotton Textile Association by his peers.

In 1975, he was appointed by the Hong Kong government as chairman of the Trade Development Council. During his tenure in office, countries such as Europe and the United States restricted the import of fragrant cotton textiles on the grounds of anti-dumping. An Zijie took a different approach and vigorously advocated the production of fiber products.

Tang Xiangqian of Nanlian Group is also a well-known social activist. He has successively served as the chairman of the Xiangjiang Cotton Textile Association and the chairman of the Xiangjiang Federation.

There is no doubt that Winsor has a global trade network established by Anshi Down, and its products are not worrying about sales.

Nanlian is also the largest export agent of Heung Kong textiles, with abundant financial resources and more than 50 times of asset expansion. The South China Dyeing Factory, which was originally unknown, has become a large-scale group in the same industry.

In 1969, An Zijie, Zhou Wenxuan and other partners combined South China Dyeing Factory, Yongnan Cloth Factory, and Zhongfu Spinning Factory into Nanlian Industrial Co., Ltd., which went public in November of the same year.

In 1969, Chen Tinghua formed Nanfeng Textile United Co., Ltd., which was listed on the market in April of the following year. Nan Fung shares have a face value of HK$2, a premium of HK$4, and a market value of HK$6 per share, raising a total of HK$28.5 million.

After Nanlian and Nanfeng became listed companies, they achieved amazing development.

However, many peers look ahead and hold back, worrying that after the listing, the family industry will become public, shareholders will interfere too much in the company's operations, and it is difficult for the family to control the company.

At the same time, the stock market is unpredictable, worrying that the stock market will capsize. In addition, when a company goes public, its finances must be transparent, which is also not desired by owners who rarely hold the traditional mentality of "rich but not revealing wealth".

It is true that the older generation of capitalists who come to Hong Kong are not ordinary people, but they are often too stable. become the Achilles' heel that stifles their development.

Among the billionaires in Heung Kong, many of them made their first pot of gold in the textile and garment industry, and then invested in other industries, mainly property, which made their wealth grow exponentially and became extremely wealthy.

For example, Zha Jimin, a printing and dyeing company in China, owns many industrial buildings and hotels; the Lin Baixin family started out with Lixin garments, and then entered the real estate industry; the knitting king Luo Dingbang is very active in the real estate industry: Chen Jun, the owner of crocodile shirts, has expanded the real estate industry to In San Francisco, it wholly owns 36 branches; Wang Tongyuan of Heung Kong Spinning Factory and Lideng Clothing Co., Ltd. owns many industrial buildings and garden houses.

The bosses of Nanfeng and Nanlian became extremely wealthy, and naturally they followed this path.

Since the 1970s, Chen Tinghua has focused his investment on real estate and general transportation. He has a bad time to get involved in shipping. Soon, he encountered a global shipping recession, and Chen Tinghua suffered heavy losses.

However, his loss, the real estate income far more than make up for it. The family has developed a number of residential buildings and industrial towns in Tai Po, Hong Kong Island and Tuen Mun, and has an independent garden house on Peak Road.

In 1972, Nanlian listed Hainan Development Co., Ltd., which invested in real estate, rental properties and shipping.

Hainan Development owns a large number of properties in Hong Kong and Singapore, and Zhou Wenxuan himself owns an independent garden house on Oxford Road, Kowloon Tong. The assets of the Zhou family are about HK$3 billion.

In Xiangjiang, Zhou Wenxuan has a well-known title - King of Doll Noodles.

In 1978, Zhou Wenxuan saw the great potential of instant noodles, so he established Yongnan Food Company with Wang Hanxi, Lin Liyiwei and others to produce instant noodles named "Doll". When the doll was born, it instantly overwhelmed Hong Kong people and became the best-selling instant noodles on the market. Due to the influence of doll noodles, doll noodles have become synonymous with instant noodles.

Japan's Nissin Company was delighted to see the hunter, and took advantage of the current trend of capital-seeking in Xiangjiang, and spent huge sums of money to acquire the plant and equipment of the doll noodle factory.

Zhou Wenxuan lost his doll in a single thought. He explained afterwards: "At that time, Hong Kong was facing a problem of confidence, followed by the ideal bid by the Japanese. In addition, it was not easy to compete with the Japanese. They set the price of the product to the cost price. , in order to defeat the opponent first, and to fight with them will definitely lose money. After the Japanese bought my noodle factory, the retail price of instant noodles immediately increased sharply. The Japanese business methods are really powerful.”

Set the price of the product to the cost price, in order to defeat the opponent first, and you will lose money if you fight with them. After the Japanese bought my noodle factory, the retail price of instant noodles was immediately increased significantly. The Japanese people are really good at doing business. "

Although An Zijie is not a super rich man, he is well-known in the business and political circles. Please see An Zijie's previous titles: Chairman of the Board of Nanlian Industrial Co., Ltd., Director of Kowloon Motors, Hang Lung Company, OOCL, Justice of the Peace, Member of the Two Councils, Heung Kong Chairman of the Trade Development Council, Chairman of the Hong Kong Cotton Textile Association, Chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Industries, Chairman of the Hong Kong Training Council, three times awarded the Emperor's Medal, Honorary Doctor of the Chinese University, Member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Chairman of the Basic Law Drafting Committee and Advisory Committee of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region .

Chen Tinghua is a devout Buddhist. He likes to be a temple donor. He prints a complete set of Buddhist scriptures and gives them to friends.

After coming to Hong Kong for more than 40 years, Mr. Chen still does not understand Cantonese, and more than half of his subordinates are from Shanghai so that they can communicate with each other. "Cantonese is as difficult to learn as English," he said.

Therefore, he also does not understand English, and considers himself too poor in learning languages. He is one of the few people in the Hong Kong business community who do not understand English at all.

He lived a simple life, but he was kind. If someone "pulls" his donations, he would say: "If you want to be published in the newspaper, I will not donate a cent." It can be seen that he is a person who is low-key and low-key.

Zhou Wenxuan looks imposing and gentle, and is a typical Shanghai tycoon. He lives frugally, travels, and often brings his own doll noodles.

When he was traveling in France, a friend invited Zhou and his wife, and Zhou Wenxuan ordered food. Zhou Wenxuan said, "I don't want anything, just a bowl of salted vegetables and shredded pork noodles."

The friend was very embarrassed, and Mrs. Zhou came forward and said that it should not be called pickles and pork noodles. Afterwards, the wife and husband said, "If you only eat noodles, the guests will not be able to order food."

Zhou Wenxuan was keen on health care in his later years, and traveled all over the Mainland and around the world to search for health care methods and prescriptions. He formed a company called Baicaotang Co., Ltd., published health care magazines, and acted like a health care expert.

Zhou Wenxuan's health preservation technique is very strange. The couple go to Germany every year to clean their stomach and intestines. They do not touch any food for two consecutive weeks, and they pour 5 liters of water every day.

Chen Tinghua, who is proficient in Buddhism, said: "Mr. Zhou does not need to go to Germany. Chinese Buddhism has long ago had inedia. The principle is the same as cleaning the stomach."

Zhou Wenxuan also joked: "I only went to drink Western water because I saw that Oriental water tasted the same as Chinese water."

It turns out that Chen Tinghua also has a quirk. He doesn't like drinking Hong Kong drinking water, and he likes the "Jomon Island" mineral water in Japan.

When it comes to anecdotes and anecdotes, An Zijie has the most.

He is very gifted with languages. He once said: "I have liked to learn foreign languages ​​since I was young. I have been the chairman of the TDC for 4 years. The most satisfying thing for me is that I speak in French in Paris and speak in London in London. Speaking in English, speaking in Japanese in Japan, speaking in German in Vienna, and speaking in Spanish in South America. I can speak Russian, but unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to speak. The Chinese and Japanese look the same. I shop in Tokyo, and I work as a clerk. compatriots."

An Zijie has a special liking for languages ​​and has deep attainments. He has published five volumes of "Learning Chinese" as a textbook for foreigners to learn Chinese.

He invented the "Radical Removal Method" of Chinese characters, and published many articles on the reform of Chinese characters.

He once wanted to be a professional writer and published a science fiction novel "Second Torrent", describing the world shrouded in fog and many absurd stories happening.

He is keen on antique research and antique collection, and his private residence can be called a museum. He once went to explore the forest in Africa, and with the help of a real helicopter, he took many shots of beasts. These shots were edited and compiled into the Central African landscape documentary; the expert said: "reaching the level of a cinematographer.".

Cao Guangbiao was born in Shanghai in 1920. His father was a small owner of a clothing store. Cao Guangbiao attended a mission school at the age of 7, and helped out at his father's shop after school and on holidays.

After graduating from middle school, Cao Guangbiao is already a skilled craftsman. At the age of seventeen, he opened his own business and opened a woolen shop.

By the eve of 1949, the company had more than 300 employees, with stores all over Shanghai, Jinling, Yu Province, and Wanbei. It also had a woolen wool factory in Shanghai. It was the largest woolen company in China.

Cao Guangbiao's career in Huaxia came to an abrupt end, and he moved his family south to Xiangjiang to continue his old business.

Cao Guangbiao has ten children in total. The second to the fourth came to Hong Kong successively after graduating from middle school. They all received good education.

The other five children did not come to Xiangjiang until the late 1970s, and Cao Guangbiao sent them all to study abroad.

Cao Guangbiao has no complaints about the loss of assets and the suffering of his children.

Cao Guangbiao is an uncompromising businessman and is quite outstanding in the industry.

Cao Guangbiao established Taiping Wool Textile Co., Ltd. in 1954; in 1958, he first introduced plush products into the old-fashioned plush-producing country of the United Kingdom; in 1970, he opened a branch in Portugal; One of the earliest manufacturers in the textile industry to cooperate with the mainland; after the 1980s, it has set up factories in areas with low labor costs such as mainland China, India, and Mauritius at an astonishing pace.

By 1983, Cao Guangbiao's Yongxin Enterprise, with a market value of about HK$1 billion, is one of the large enterprises in the textile industry of Heung Kong. Cao Guangbiao has also won the title of plush king.

And Chen Tingye, An Zijie, Zhou Wenxuan and Cao Guangbiao are the backbones of the Xiangjiang Textile Association, and An Zijie is even the president of the Xiangjiang Textile Association.

And the textile association discussed to increase the price of Xiangjiang textile products by 30%, which is probably the reason for these people.

I can't even say it's possible, it should be the ghosts of these people.

But Li Zhiwen is very strange, how dare these guys twiddle his beard.

Li Zhiwen put down the report and rubbed his temples. The continuous things made Li Zhiwen feel a little bad.

And Zheng Chao did not speak, but quietly waited for Li Zhiwen.

"Old Zheng, do you mean to say that these families are targeting our unicorn costumes?" Li Zhiwen asked.

"I think there are reasons for this. In today's garment industry, our Kirin Clothing Company is the largest company in Xiangjiang, and the company that uses the most cotton yarn and wool textiles."

"And our Kirin clothing started relatively late, and we did not have a layout in cotton yarn."

"And the annexed Lixin Group did not make arrangements in this area because it had cooperated with several people before."

"Lin Baixin had an agreement with them before. UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com these companies sold the cotton yarn to Lai Xin Group at 90% of the market price."

"And after the Lai Sun Group was annexed by us, these companies have no plans to renew the contract after fulfilling the agreement."

"Then the Textile Association came out with the news that the price of textile raw materials has risen by 30%. It's hard not to say that these ghosts are doing it." Zheng Chao analyzed.

Hearing Zheng Chao's analysis, Li Zhiwen already believed it, but it was hard to imagine what they meant.

"Old Zheng, what do you want to do next?" Li Zhiwen asked.

"On the one hand, I want to negotiate with these people to try to extend the previous contract of Lai Sun Group."

"On the other hand, I want to purchase the superior raw materials of cotton yarn and negotiate with them with raw materials. I think they will sit at the negotiating table obediently." Zheng Chao analyzed.

When Li Zhiwen heard Zheng Chao's suggestion, he was noncommittal. Obviously, Li Zhiwen didn't think there would be any good progress. After all, they were fully prepared.
