Reborn since 1993

Chapter 433: Borrowing Your Things

"In addition to these, there is another point. In the future, all products and accessories entering Wanjia Electric City will be subject to safety testing, no matter which region the brand comes from!"

Li Dongling said to Ning Wenke that by promoting products such as air fryers, Wanjia Electric Appliance City could increase its influence, but if he wanted everyone to accept the concept of health of Wanjia Electric Appliance City's products, in addition to hyping them up, he needed to do another thing, which was to establish his authority!
Li Dongling remembered that in his previous life, there was a safety incident in the electrical appliance industry that shocked the world. It was the Korean humidifier disinfectant. This incident directly destroyed the Korean electrical appliance brand.

Indoor humidifiers have become quite popular in Korea since two years ago. There is nothing wrong with this. This thing is produced for the sake of health.

There is nothing wrong with disinfectants, as they are also for the sake of health. But when these two things appear together, there is a problem, as it can cost lives. Human lives in the physical sense, not just the words.

Tens of thousands of Koreans have developed health problems due to the addition of disinfectants in humidifiers, and some have even lost their lives. After the news broke, families who bought humidifiers became worried and the Korean electrical appliance industry collapsed overnight. Not to mention sales overseas, even local Koreans didn't buy into it. Since then, Korean electrical appliances have never recovered.

If Wanjia Electric Appliance City exposes this matter after entering the Korean market, it may have to pay some price, but it will make Wanjia Electric Appliance City synonymous with safe electrical appliances, and the safety and health concepts of Wanjia Electric Appliance City will also be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

The launch of the air fryer and the exposure of the Korean electrical appliance safety incident are enough for Wanjia Electric Appliance City to establish itself as a big brand. As long as it seizes the opportunity, no one can shake Wanjia Electric Appliance City's position in the next ten or twenty years before the arrival of the e-commerce era!

Ning Wen didn't know why Li Dongling said this. In the past, product safety was the responsibility of the manufacturers themselves, and it seemed a bit like Wanjia Electrical Appliance City was overstepping its authority, but she still nodded.

Ning Wenke carefully put away the drawings of the air fryer. She cared more about the packaging concept of Wanjia Electric City proposed by Li Dongling, as well as other projects such as the air fryer.

After handing the blueprint to the female secretary outside the door for safekeeping, Ning Wenke turned back and said, "I will discuss the new project and plan of Wanjia Electric City with Lanqi!"

Lan Qi is the European general manager of Wanjia Electrical Appliance City. Li Dongling has been promoting localization overseas, that is, to integrate the brands and products of Dongling Hi-Tech into the local market so that users do not clearly feel that they are buying foreign products.

Wanjia Electric Appliance City is now divided into three parts. The European side is managed by Lanqi, the Wanjia Electric Appliance City in Hong Kong and Asia is managed by Ning Wenke, and as for inland areas such as Yangcheng, Pengcheng, and Shanghai, there are also several Wanjia Electric Appliance City, which are managed by professional managers selected by Dongling Hi-Tech Headquarters.

In name, all Wanjia Electrical Appliances Marts, whether in the inland, Hong Kong or Europe, belong to the Wanjia Foundation. But in reality, the management methods of the three Wanjia Electrical Appliances Marts in different regions are almost completely different, and can even be said to be worlds apart. Basically, they are operated according to the methods that are most suitable for the local area.

But no matter where the Wanjia Electrical Appliances Mart is, as long as it carries this brand, it uses the same supply system and the promotional content is also the same.

……

"Amid the turmoil, the female head of the Ning family and the founder of Dongling Hi-Tech visited Wanjia Electrical Appliance City together!"

"Li Dongling denied having anything to do with Zhao Shinan's bankruptcy, but there are still people claiming to be insiders who broke the news that Li Dongling is related to the Zhao family case!"

"The Zhao family's logistics and shipping companies have suffered huge losses due to the suspension of operations and the rupture of their capital chain. More than 70% of their worth has disappeared!"

The next day, when Li Dongling woke up in the sea view villa, he went downstairs and found that the chef in the villa had already prepared breakfast. Ning Wenke was afraid that the chef from Hong Kong would not suit Li Dongling's taste, so she specially found a chef from inland areas to cook.

As soon as Li Dongling sat down, the Filipino maid placed breakfast and newspapers in front of him. In recent years, nannies have become quite popular in Hong Kong, and Filipino maids are the most famous.

Even ordinary middle-class families in Hong Kong and Shanghai would hire Filipino maids to clean the house, cook, etc. It is rumored that one out of every seven middle-class families in Hong Kong and Shanghai hires Filipino maids. There are more than 200,000 Filipino maids in Hong Kong and Shanghai. However, not only in Hong Kong and Shanghai, there are more than 2.5 million Filipino maids all over the world.

Li Dongling didn't have so many rules. He let Yang Zhigao and two bodyguards from Hanxi sit down and have dinner together.

Li Dongling flipped through the newspapers. There were still quite a few media outlets in Hong Kong that were talking about Li Dongling and Ning Wenke. Some were even more outrageous, revealing Li Dongling's mysterious family background. Some tabloids even claimed that Li Dongling was born in a wealthy family in Yanjing. They also said that the Zhao family in Hong Kong got into trouble so quickly this time because Yanjing had taken action, and so on.

Seeing these news, Li Dongling couldn't help but shook his head. It has to be said that the imagination of the Hong Kong media is really wild.

But he also guessed some of it correctly. This time, the Yanjing Post and Telecommunications Department did call the Gangcheng Office, but they were worried that someone would use Zhao Shinan to cause trouble and block the acquisition of Gangcheng Telecommunications, so they took action. Although Gangcheng has not yet returned, it would not take much effort to deal with Zhao Shinan.

After reading these news, Li Dongling couldn't help but look at the newspaper when he saw another piece of news. "In the case of Jianing, the largest fraud case in Hong Kong's history, the attorney for Jianing President Chen Songqing announced that Chen Songqing accepted some of the charges.

The case involving Jianing Company involved more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, which was the most tragic loss in Hong Kong's investment history and involved the largest number of investors. Three other criminal cases were also related to this case..."

Li Dongling saw the cover of the newspaper, which showed a man with a defiant look on his face.

Li Dongling didn't expect to see the prototype of the movie "Golden Finger" in his previous life. However, the investor of that movie in his previous life was the person now published in the newspaper. It was equivalent to making a documentary for himself. This style of behavior can no longer be described as arrogant.

After taking a few glances, Li Dongling turned the newspaper over. Chen Song did not plead guilty in the morning or in the evening, but he pleaded guilty to several insignificant charges at various critical moments this year. He would be imprisoned for a few years at most and could escape again. It was obvious that he was afraid that after the return of Hong Kong, the case would be truly investigated. By then, no one knew what shocking secrets would be revealed, so he wanted to hastily close the case this year.

It's not just Chen Songqing, there are many others who want to settle their previous accounts before Hong Kong City returns to China to avoid being repaid later!
When Hong Kong City returns next year, all kinds of strange and weird things will start to happen here, and all kinds of monsters and demons will start their final madness.

The car was driving on the streets of the harbor city. The harbor city is now at the peak of its urban construction. In Central, Victoria Harbour and other places, various high-rise buildings stand side by side and landmark buildings are constantly being built.

Yang Zhigao and other people who came to the port city for the first time saw large shopping malls on both sides of the streets and high-rise buildings that stretched as far as the eye could see. This kind of modern life in the 1990s was still quite shocking to people coming from inland areas. These skyscrapers that soared into the sky had not yet appeared in the inland areas at that time.

Now, people from the inland, Southeast Asia, including America, old Europe and other places, can't help but exclaim in amazement when they see the skyscrapers in the port city. Even in a convenience store in the port city, people rush in to buy large and small bags.

But having been accustomed to the scenes of big cities in the country in his previous life, Li Dongling felt a little "accustomed" to the buildings in the port city. Guangdong Province, Qiantang Province, Suzhou and Hangzhou Province, etc., each city has its own landmark building.

Today, Li Dongling went to the Ning family to visit Ning Wantian, the nominal head of the Ning family. As the largest partner of Dongling Hi-Tech in Gangcheng, it would be a bit unreasonable for Li Dongling to come to Gangcheng without visiting Ning Wantian.

The car drove around the streets of Gangcheng for a while, and there were traffic jams from time to time. You can imagine how many vehicles there are in Gangcheng at this moment.

Li Dongling specifically asked the driver sent by the Ning family to take a detour to the famous Kowloon Walled City, which was remembered in countless Hong Kong movies... and took a look at the park.

Kowloon Walled City was razed to the ground a few years ago and a park was built on it. As for those who miss it, they are basically those who make films or engage in art. People who moved away from here may occasionally miss their past lives, but if you ask them to move back with their family, you will see whether they will be anxious or not.

This is just like African-American singers and basketball stars who came from the slums of America. They always like to talk about their childhood hardships and how difficult it was for them to climb out of the slums in the media, in order to publicize their inspirational experiences. They may even say that if it weren't for the hardships in the past, they wouldn't be where they are today.

But if anyone dares to say that, let him donate his property to his African-American brothers and let him live in a slum community again. Let's see if he will take out his Ruger pistol and give the person who said that a peanut and that's it.

For those who miss the past and want to live in Kowloon Walled City, they can find a shabby urban village to experience it and they will know. What they want is a super-small, compact and shabby version, with 40,000 to 50,000 people living in a little over two acres of land.

A family of all ages are squeezed into a place the size of a pigeon cage. Cockroaches, rats and all kinds of insects are running all over the bed. Mosquitoes are their companions every night. Water and power outages are the norm. There are only a few toilets that can be used by 40,000 to 50,000 people. I don't know how people live there, but clothes will get moldy after a few days.

All kinds of gangs are rampant inside. The price ordinary people have to pay to get out is ten or a hundred times higher than that outside. Those who say that gangs are loyal are simply people who have never experienced the beatings of society. If you expect gangsters to be kind, then you are a gangster in vain!
In Hong Kong movies that involve Kowloon Walled City, you will see a group of children or the protagonist climbing onto the roof in the plot. The movie commentary will say that this is about turning one's heart towards light and elevating the soul. This is pure bullshit because there is no sun in the walled city during the day and you can only see the sun by climbing to the roof!

Li Dongling only took a look at the Kowloon Walled City Park from outside. After looking at it for a few seconds, he drove to the Ning family's villa.

"Mr. Li!"

When Li Dongling arrived at the Ning family, Lin Xianhui, the head of Dongling Hi-Tech Port City Company, was already waiting there.

"Everything is ready!" Lin Xianhui said to Li Dongling. In addition to preparing several gifts as instructed by Li Dongling, he also handed a document to Li Dongling. It was about the investment company that Li Dongling asked him to build in Gangcheng.
