"These are all Japanese products. I don't want them. Don't you have Ruisi's?" Zhang Wen looked at the watch in front of him and shook his head to refuse.
“Mr. Zhang, you don’t know that Ruisi watches are basically sold in major watch shops. We only have a foreign brand making them here, which is also considered an old brand, but…” Manager Wang hesitated to speak.
"But what? Tell me." Zhang Wen said with a cold face.
"The other party's general agent in Hong Kong was unwilling to give the agency rights, so I didn't take it." Manager Wang said quickly.
"What brand is this? So pretentious?" Zhang Wen said angrily.
"Du Peng is an old brand with a history of over a hundred years. Yes, it is the brand of your lighter." Manager Wang explained.
Zhang Wen played with the lighter in his hand and said with a smile, "Interesting. OK, I got it. Where is the next village? I'll say hello and leave."
"Okay, please come this way." Manager Wang quickly took Zhang Wen to the conference room.
"Ms. Zang, I am sincere. You can keep the Wanzai Wharf Beijing Dumplings brand, but the Wanzai Wharf brand will belong to the company in the future." As soon as he arrived at the door of the meeting room, he heard someone saying a brand name that was familiar to Zhang Wen.
"20 years? How can it be so long?" The middle-aged woman called Ms. Zang looked at the contract carefully.
"Ah? Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm busy here." Seeing Zhang Wen come in, a thin old Japanese soldier hurriedly bowed and apologized.
"I see. Xiacun, what are you doing?" Zhang Wen took the initiative and sat directly next to Ms. Zang. He picked up the backup contract on the table and started to look at it.
"Mr. Zhang..." Xiacun's expression was a little unnatural. He wanted to be angry, but he didn't dare to. There was nothing he could do because his own department store was still using someone else's property.
"Ha, Xiacun, this is not very genuine. This should be the craft left by the lady's ancestors. You want to take it away just by spending some money?" Zhang Wen said directly after reading it.
"No, no, no, Mr. Zhang, I want to promote China's craftsmanship." Xiacun explained quickly.
"Haha, then why does it say here that we can use it to manufacture other brands?" Zhang Wen directly pointed out the loophole in the contract.
"What? Where?" The middle-aged woman got nervous and asked immediately.
"Here!" Zhang Wen said, pointing to a line of small words.
After reading it, the middle-aged woman stood up angrily and said, "I won't sign this contract." Then she pushed the door and walked out.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Wen immediately winked at Ah Gui.
"Mr. Zhang, this... I..." Xiacun's good plan was ruined by Zhang Wen. He wanted to be angry but didn't dare to. For a moment, his face turned red.
"Hmph, you should do business honestly in my territory. Don't play any tricks on me. If I catch you again next time, I will kill you." Zhang Wen cursed unceremoniously, then walked out.
As for Manager Wang who brought him here, when he saw Xiacun's red face, his legs were shaking with fear, and he lamented in his heart that he was definitely going to lose his job.
Under the guidance of Ah Gui, Zhang Wen walked out of the department store quickly. Not far from the mall, he saw Ms. Zang being stopped by two security guards.
"What do you mean? Why don't you let me go? Am I breaking the law if I don't sign? If you continue like this, I will call the police." Ms. Zang continued to protest. She thought it was the people sent by Xiacun.
"Sorry, Ms. Zang, I asked them to stop you." Zhang Wen chased after her and explained hurriedly.
"Ah~~ It's you. Thank you for what you did just now, otherwise I would have been fooled by the Japanese." When Ms. Zang saw that it was Zhang Wen, her face was immediately filled with smiles.
Chapter 164 UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship
"We are all Chinese, it's just a piece of cake. Judging from your accent, are you from the mainland?" Zhang Wen asked as he listened to the other party speaking Cantonese with an accent.
"Yes, I'm from Shandong Province." Ms. Zang nodded and showed off her Shandong dialect.
"Haha, I'm very interested in your Wanzai Wharf dumplings. Can I try them?" Zhang Wen said in standard Mandarin.
"Sure, it's not far from here, in Wan Chai, I'll treat you to a meal." Ms. Zang said happily.
"Boss, the car is here." Ah Gui said at the right time behind him.
"Ms. Zang, let's get in the car and I'll show you the way." Zhang Wen pulled Ms. Zang into the car.
"Sir, what's your name?" Ms. Zang was a little hesitant after getting in the car, mainly because she was shocked by Zhang Wen's luxurious fleet of cars. What a rich man.
"You can just call me Xiao Zhang, haha." Zhang Wen said modestly.
"I wouldn't dare to say that, Mr. Zhang. What do you do? This car is so beautiful. You're so rich." Ms. Zang asked enviously.
"Haha, let me do some small business. The building you just went to is mine." Zhang Wen said with a smile.
"Wow~~~, then I must have met a rich man." Ms. Zang exclaimed.
"Haha, it's okay." Zhang Wen responded with a smile.
Just as Ms. Zang said, it is very close, right at the Wan Chai Pier. There are two little girls pushing a dumpling cart and watching the cart. It is not yet dinner time, so there are not many people.
Zhang Wen didn't act pretentiously and just sat on a small bench nearby and waited.
Soon, a bowl of hot dumplings was served. After Zhang Wen blew it to cool down, he took a light bite. The aroma of pork and green onions instantly hit him. The meat filling was 70% lean and 30% fat, and some tasteless auxiliary ingredients were added.
Overall, it was very good, and even Chef Zhang Wen couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart.
“Ms. Zang, to be honest, I want to invest in you and only focus on the Wanzai Wharf brand.
I will pay for the construction of the factory, you will provide the formula and production process, and I will be responsible for the sales. How about a 7:3 equity ratio? "After finishing a full bowl, Zhang Wen put down his chopsticks and said after calling Ms. Zang.
"This? Are you sure?" Ms. Zang was stunned. The Japanese's previous condition was 8:2.
"Sure, I'll ask a lawyer to draft the documents shortly. In the future, our Wanzai Wharf dumplings will be sold all over the world." Zhang Wen nodded affirmatively.
"Okay, I promise you." Ms. Zang nodded happily.
Attorney Ming, who was on call, rushed to Wan Chai Pier with his team. After explaining the contract word by word to Ms. Zang, the two parties signed the contract document.
After that, the new company was established and the factory site was selected and decorated.
As for dumpling-making machines, Zhang Wen has no shortage of them, and they are the latest fully automatic assembly lines from more than 30 years ago.
As soon as the factory's clean room was completed, it could go into production. He threw Huo Jianning to take care of the next task.
As early as a few months ago, half a month after Zhang Wen returned from the United States, Huo Jianning acquired Davis Petroleum Company for US$1.78 million.
After the acquisition was completed, Zhang Wen invested another 1 million yuan into the oil company. Now Davis Oil Company is drilling exploratory wells in that wasteland.
I believe that shocking news will come out soon.
At first, Huo Jianning didn't understand why Zhang Wencan was involved in the fast food industry and wondered why he was making such a small amount of money.
After tasting Ms. Zang's cooking and hearing about the development prospects of fresh fast food and frozen fast food planned by Zhang Wen.
Huo Jianning had to admire Zhang Wen's strategic vision.
According to his estimation, if the global Chinese market is opened up, the annual output value will definitely exceed tens of billions, which is really not a small business.
"Ultimate Fighting Championship is hosted by Asia Television and Huake Mobile is the official title sponsor.
UFC uses the octagonal cage format with the aim of providing a unified competitive platform for fighters from different martial arts schools under open rules, thereby producing the ultimate champion.
The competition levels are divided into flyweight, bantamweight, featherweight, lightweight, junior lightweight, middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight, a total of 8 levels.
The champions of each level will share 100 million US dollars.
The top three in each level will receive 1% of the sales share of the event's title phone.
...
I will be waiting for you in Hong Kong on June 6 next year. The registration hotline is XX-XX-XXXXX. "
At the end of 84, a 3-minute advertisement was spread all over the world along with the movie discs of Brothers Pictures. The spokesperson was the now world-renowned Jackie Chan.
· ·Request flowers····· ·····
In the picture, Cheng Long is in an octagonal cage, wearing half-finger gloves, performing various martial arts moves while explaining.
It has also been spread around the world with dubbing in various languages.
The high prize money directly set the world on fire. 100 million US dollars was shared by 8 people. Even after deducting taxes, each person could get 10 US dollars.
10 US dollars at this time is very valuable. It is a considerable income in any country. It is enough to buy an apartment.
There is also the 1% sales share, which may not sound like much, but when the UFC-branded phone with a golden dragon engraved on the back and a price tag of US$1288 is launched on the market.
Although the price is not cheap, it still has terrifying sales volume.
…
If we do the math, even if only 1 units are sold, each of the 24 contestants will get more than $5000.
What's more, it's more than 1 units, it could be 10 or 100 million units.
But this is just a business move, and only those who think they have some strength will keep paying attention to it.
What really attracted the public's attention was the negotiations between China and Britain on the ownership of Hong Kong.
Especially since the Hong Kong stock market index fluctuated between 676 and 1000 points, even Zhang Wen was helpless in doing anything about it. He could only let Luo Minsheng deal with it on his own and hope he didn't lose too much.
The acquisition of HK Electric had been completed long ago. Zhang Wen, who held 35% of the shares, officially became the major shareholder of HK Electric, having spent a total of HK$28 billion. Except for the previous 10%, the subsequent 25% were purchased from Jardine Matheson.
This action was of course reported on the news channels of ATV and TVB, and all major radio stations were broadcasting it crazily, but no one dared to report Zhang Wen’s true background.
Now the whole of Hong Kong knew that there was such a young and wealthy bachelor in Hong Kong. No, it should be called a super bachelor.
Just as the Joint Declaration was formally signed on December 12, the issue of Hong Kong's sovereignty finally had a general direction.
Dinner parties of major companies began to take place, and Zhang Wen received piles of invitations. It seemed that all the wealthy ladies in Hong Kong wanted to meet this newly rich man who had made his fortune from scratch.
Chapter 165: King of Gambling Acts as Matchmaker
"Mr. Zhang, can you hear me? I'm almost at the port now."
Zhang Wen had just finished inspecting Shenzhen Huake Company. In order to test the recently developed CDMA commercial system, he took out a test phone and talked with Engineer Zhang on his way back to Hong Kong.
"Okay, no problem, very clear." Mr. Zhang replied on the other end of the phone.
"Hahaha, announce it to the public as soon as possible and register the patent. We must do it before that small company in the United States." After clearly hearing Mr. Zhang's reply, Zhang Wen laughed and instructed.
"It has already started. I know the progress of that company, but they haven't entered the full testing phase yet. We are the first."
Engineer Zhang was also very happy. Shenzhen Huake is 30 kilometers away from the port. Just relying on a base station installed on the top of the company building to cover such a large area, the "" test was basically a success.
"Okay, this month's bonuses for all participants will be doubled, and I will give out a big red envelope before the annual meeting." Zhang Wen was extremely excited.
"Okay, if you speed up the progress over there, we can directly access the network after the new year," said Mr. Zhang.
"No problem, it's just a base station, easy." Zhang Wen said, patting his chest.
The base station that Zhang Wen mentioned is the CDMA base station that covers the whole of Hong Kong. The telecommunications industry is a hot spot for future investment. How could he miss such a big piece of cake?
The telecommunications license was applied for long ago, and Hong Kong is still much freer than the mainland.
If it were in the mainland, this license could only be controlled by state-owned enterprises, and it would be impossible for private companies.
Now we just have to wait for the comprehensive construction of the pilot project in Hong Kong to be completed before it can be spread to the whole world.
However, Zhang Wen plans to list this company in Hong Kong and the United States.
There is no other way. The plate is too big. It would take at least hundreds of billions to roll it out, and that’s in US dollars. He alone is not strong enough.
At the end of December, after turning down most of the dinner invitations, Zhang Wen still attended the charity dinner organized by gambling king He with Lizhi and Ye Zimei.
Since gambling king He personally called to invite him, he had no choice but to give him face.
Charity dinners at that time were not as glamorous as they are in later generations. There were no red carpets, autograph walls, etc.
The dinner was held in the multi-functional conference hall of the Peninsula Hotel, and the dishes provided were in the form of a cold buffet.
When Zhang Wen and the other two arrived, the banquet hall was already full of people, all sitting in groups and chatting in low voices.
Many people turned around and noticed the three people coming in, but most of them just marveled at the magnificence of the two women's breasts and ignored the existence of Zhang Wen, the wealthy man.
It was only when the host of the banquet, gambling king He, walked over with He Chaoqiong to greet them personally that everyone realized that the person coming was a heavyweight.
"Mr. He, I'm sorry for being late." Zhang Wen stepped forward and shook hands to apologize.
"It's not too late, not too late. It hasn't started yet. This is my daughter Chaoqiong. You young people should keep in touch more in the future." Gambling King He took the initiative to pull He Chaoqiong next to him and introduced her.
"Hello, Miss He!" Zhang Wen shook hands with her politely.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang!"
He Chaoqiong, who is only 22 years old this year, is at the peak of her appearance and has inherited the beauty of her previous generation. Even if she enters the entertainment industry, she is still a beauty.
However, compared with female celebrities in the entertainment industry, He Chaoqiong has a more aristocratic temperament.
"Who are these two?" Gambling King He looked at the two women beside Zhang Wen and asked curiously.
"Haha, these are my two secretaries, Li Zhi and Ye Zimei." When Zhang Wen introduced them, he intentionally hugged them, as if to declare his sovereignty to gambling king He.
Mine, all mine.
"Mr. He, Miss He, hello." The two girls greeted the father and daughter of the He family.
"Okay, okay, Chaoqiong, take them to eat something. Mr. Zhang and I have something to talk about." After nodding, Gambling King He said to He Chaoqiong.
