Reborn since 1993

Chapter 372 Rebellion against Tiangang
Hearing He Heng's words with some implications, Li Dongling and others couldn't help but look at Gu Xiguang.

"It's too early to say now!" Gu Xiguang shook his head and seemed unwilling to say more.

Everyone was hungry, and at this moment, no one cared about being polite. All they did was to fill their stomachs.

After the meal, everyone dispersed. The rest of the people from Yanjing were arranged to rest, while Gu Xiguang, He Heng, Li Weimin, Li Dongling, Yao Zhengru, Wu Yaoguo and others went to a place to talk.

At this time, Li Dongling, Yao Zhengru and others understood from just a few words why He Heng said those words just now.

There are rumors among various departments in Yanjing that a new round of adjustments will be underway, and the Economic and Trade Commission may become the biggest winner of this round, and Gu Xiguang's power will increase significantly!

More than ten departments related to the economic field, including the Ministry of Coal, the Ministry of Machinery, the Ministry of Metallurgy, the Ministry of Domestic Trade, the Light Industry Federation, the Chemical Industry, the Textile Federation, etc., will be merged into the Economic and Trade Commission. In this way, the Economic and Trade Commission will become the most influential department in the domestic economic field!
Not only these departments, but also a large number of companies have become subsidiaries of the Economic and Trade Commission, including the three oil companies, China Construction, Communications Construction, China Railway Construction, China Southern Power Grid, China Development Bank, China Metallurgical Group, China Commerce Corporation, etc.

This is only a part of the companies directly managed by the Economic and Trade Commission. The rest of the companies that are not directly managed and are located in various provinces and cities in China are even larger. This includes the Xingfa Group, which invested in Yinghaiwei at a critical moment in the previous life and made Yinghaiwei soar to success and become the most watched company in the Internet industry. It is also affiliated with the Economic and Trade Commission.

Xingfa Group, which is engaged in chemical, electrical and mining industries, suddenly crossed industries and invested in Yinghaiwei in the Internet industry. This would be absolutely impossible without the intention of the Economic and Trade Commission.

Upon hearing about the changes that were about to come to the Economic and Trade Commission, the expressions of Yao Zhengru, Li Weimin, Wu Yaoguo and others when they looked at Gu Xiguang changed a little.

If this news is true, then once the adjustment is completed, Gu Xiguang's power will be almost incomparable to what it is now.

Seeing everyone's gazes, Gu Xiguang shook his head and said, "The news that is spreading now is just hearsay, don't take it seriously!
Even if it is true, it will take at least two to three years to adjust and complete this matter. By then, it is hard to predict who will be right and who will be wrong. The most important thing right now is to do well in the present!"

"There's no smoke without fire. Quite a few people in Yanjing have already started to work on transferring to the Economic and Trade Commission. By then, I don't know if I'll have to rely on you, Director Gu, to take care of things a little bit!"

He Heng said to Gu Xiguang with some envy, "Who among the various departments in Yanjing now does not envy the Economic and Trade Commission? As long as you have completed your training in the Economic and Trade Commission, you will basically be promoted after being transferred out."

Li Dongling also looked at his senior brother who graduated from Hanxi Jiaotong University. With Gu Xiguang around, Dongling Hi-Tech would not need to worry about any evil spirits causing trouble in the next few years in China. This would also be the best development opportunity for Dongling Hi-Tech!

Ying Haiwei, which used to shout slogans in its previous life, was able to get support from Xingfa Group, a subsidiary of the Economic and Trade Commission, thanks to the resources that slipped through the fingers of the Economic and Trade Commission, and it was once in its heyday.

Could it be that the current cooperation between Dongling Hi-Tech and the Economic and Trade Commission is still not as good as Yinghaiwei?
"Old He, you are in the Foreign Exchange Department. Who can touch you? Who knows, I may ask you for something in the future. Please help me!"

Gu Xiguang sighed and said, "The Economic and Trade Commission has performed very well in recent years. Taking over so many departments and companies, its power has certainly increased, but at the same time, the burden has also become heavier."

Those companies taken over by the Economic and Trade Commission will definitely need support, which requires a lot of funds and even foreign exchange to purchase equipment. Who knows, in the future, Gu Xiguang may really have to ask He Heng for help.

"The Economic and Trade Commission will definitely fully support Torch Group, but Torch Group also needs to produce sufficient results so that the Economic and Trade Commission can give an explanation to all parties."

Finally, Gu Xiguang said something to Li Dongling, Zhang Xiaocheng, Wu Yaoguo and others.

The Economic and Trade Commission has attracted enough support for the Torch Group. All of this is based on the fact that the Torch Group performs well enough and achieves results as expected. If the performance is poor, it may not be so easy for the Economic and Trade Commission to invest more resources in the Torch Group in the future. Sometimes, if one's virtue is not worthy of the position, it is more likely to cause trouble.

"Brother Gu, rest assured. Torch Group will have more plans in the future. I think it will become the pearl in many people's careers in the future!"

Li Dongling said that once Torch Group has established itself in the lighter industry and has its own base, it can enter other industries, the most critical of which is the e-cigarette industry.

This is an industry with a market size that is much larger than that of lighters. With this market, Torch Group will not have to worry about survival in the next 20 to 30 years. Torch Industrial Park may also become one of the most profitable and foreign exchange-earning industrial parks in the country!

"With Junior Brother Li's words, I feel relieved!"

Gu Xiguang said with a smile that he had already witnessed Li Dongling's ability to operate. As long as Li Dongling was still in charge of the Torch Group, Gu Xiguang would not need to worry about anything. The Torch Industrial Park would also bring him, the Economic and Trade Commission and countless people a steady stream of income.

Gu Xiguang and He Heng are both middle-aged and have been traveling all day, so they are now exhausted. After the conversation, everyone left one after another.

Li Dongling returned to his residence in Torch Group. After taking a shower, Li Dongling took out an order from Torch Group and started looking through it.

Torch Group's orders and sales are now in a period of explosive growth. Basically, the one to two million lighters produced every day are immediately snatched up by tobacco, alcohol, health care products and other companies, as well as supply and marketing cooperatives, restaurants, supermarkets, hotels and other retailers in major cities. Looking at this information, Li Dongling's thoughts spread. For Dongling Hi-Tech, investing in Torch Group is actually not that important in terms of the amount of profit.

The jobs, taxes, connections and resources provided by Torch Group are actually more important to Dongling Hi-Tech.

Dongling Hi-Tech and its subsidiaries Feiyan, Doxin Semiconductor, Oriental Optoelectronics, and Shenzhou Memory, plus the current Torch Group, and invested companies such as BOE, BYD, and Hanxi New Materials, are forming a new community of interests around Dongling Hi-Tech.

A hero needs three helpers. The world is bustling with people seeking profit. With the support of Torch Group, BYD, BOE and other companies, as well as the gathered connections, resources and supporters, Dongling Hi-Tech can go further.

In the future, the more supporters Dongling Hi-Tech has, the more people who rely on Dongling Hi-Tech for their livelihood, and naturally the fewer people who dare to harm Dongling Hi-Tech.

In addition, in the future, Dongling Hi-Tech will have a better chance of winning when fighting against rivals in America and old Europe overseas!

The next day, the media that rushed over from Yanjing began to conduct comprehensive filming and interviews on Torch Group and Torch Industrial Park.

After seeing the media lineup this time, the Torch Group had a vague premonition that the filming and reporting and broadcasting platform this time might not be so simple. The Torch Group, Pingyang Municipal Government, and Hanxi Provincial Government all came over to cooperate.

……

On the other hand, Torch Group's lighters are still expanding their territory. Every day, the road leading to the Torch Industrial Park is filled with trucks transporting goods.

Downstairs of the Torch Group's office building, there are a bunch of companies that come to get goods and advertise, especially those in the three major industries of tobacco, alcohol, and health products. They are almost in a blood-thirsty battle, constantly bidding each other up just to get the goods and let their companies promote the campaign of giving away lighters when buying their products.

"Pingyang Daily claimed that Torch Group set a record for the fastest shipment of more than 20 million lighters in history!"

"Torch Group has received orders for more than 45 million lighters from Hongtashan, Yuzhang, Xiangnan Tobacco, and many wine and health care companies!"

"Due to the demand from advertising investors exceeding expectations, the advertising price of a single lighter under Torch Group has exceeded 0.41 yuan, and the advertising revenue has exceeded million yuan. Advertising business is the new revenue business of Torch Group!"

In this atmosphere, Torch Group's sales continued to hit new historical highs, and the entire domestic lighter industry watched Torch Group set new records one after another as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

Seeing the Torch Group's siege-like scene in the domestic lighter industry, many domestic lighter manufacturers couldn't help but feel frightened.

Although the main markets of domestic lighter manufacturers are currently overseas, it does not mean that they do not care about the domestic market. The unreasonable approach of Torch Group and the one-dollar pricing have caused these lighter manufacturers to start to worry. They feel that Torch Group is preparing to completely cut off their retreat.

All of a sudden, various voices were heard, and the voices that Torch Group was maliciously competing and disrupting the lighter market suddenly began to be heard. It was even reported that some lighter manufacturers were preparing to unite and boycott Torch Group from entering the local market.

……

"Big brother!"

Inside the Xinhai Lighter Company, the Marketing Manager Huang Guangze hurried into the office of the Factory Director Huang Xinhai.

Xinhai Company was the first company to contact Torch Group and announced that it would use the lighter parts industry chain of Torch Industrial Park.

At present, Xinhai Company has not yet completely moved to the Torch Industrial Park, but it already has offices and production plants in the Torch Industrial Park. The production line is also being debugged, and it will prepare to start trial production in the near future. According to Xinhai Company's calculations, by using the industrial chain of the Torch Industrial Park, the cost of Xinhai lighters will begin to drop significantly.

Huang Xinhai, who was fiddling with the latest metal lighter developed by Xinhai Company in his office, saw Huang Guangze running in and frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

"Brother, I heard that there is news that many lighter companies are preparing to unite and boycott Torch Group, believing that Torch Group is interfering with the domestic lighter market!"

Huang Xinhai's first reaction after hearing this was to almost laugh out loud, "Boycott Torch Group?"

You know, domestically produced lighters are boycotted by overseas lighter manufacturers in the overseas market. Now domestic lighter manufacturers are actually banding together to boycott a domestic lighter manufacturer, which makes Huang Xinhai feel like he is going against the will of heaven.
