Chapter 466 Ge Jingcheng passed away

The dealer conference of Kewang Electric Appliances officially ended on December 2nd, and the response strategies were adjusted in a timely manner. In the eyes of the media, their dealer conference also achieved a successful success.

The original, rough dealer system has been upgraded. By collecting deposits from dealers, Kewang Electric Appliances can almost raise more than 120 million yuan of funds; of course, this amount is far less than the previous expectations of Xie Jiannan, Zhao Jinrong and others. It can only fill the funds in the next stage. The funds filled in by each shareholder before cannot be withdrawn. Among the shareholders of Kewang, Zhengtai, Haitai, and Daya do not have financial pressure, so Jincheng is a little in a bad situation, and Zhao Jinrong can only suffer a loss. He cannot let the Xie family take this opportunity to infiltrate Jincheng's real estate business.

In November, CCTV and the national media hype of CCTV's advertising bidding greatly promoted the sales of Kewang disc machines. According to the latest data settled, the sales volume in November exceeded 30,000 units. The advertising effect of CCTV's advertising bidding once again proved that it cannot be ignored; although it is incomparable to the monthly sales champion of Aida Electronics' 220,000 units.

Xie Jiannan also knew that even if Kewang's sales could increase, the profits of stand-alone players were far from comparable to Ida. In addition to some disadvantages in manufacturing costs, the marketing costs would also be far higher than Ida Electronics: the advertising fees of the two companies invested on CCTV are more than 200 million.

Zhang Ke can also see King Ke's efforts in some aspects. He thought that Xie Jiannan probably wanted to use this year to plan and consider the issue of direct competition with Ida Electronics in 1998. At this time, by actively developing the Southeast Asian market, we have to admit that this is a smart strategy, but Zhang Ke thought maliciously: Xie Jiannan climbed a mountain and found that there was a higher mountain in front of him. What would it feel like?

We must also admit that the Xie family has a deep connection. Kewang wants to use Hong Kong as a springboard to develop the market in Southeast Asia. Who will they cooperate with?

When he thought of this question, the first person who jumped into Zhang Ke's thoughts was Ge Yinjun.

Ge Yinjun and Xie Jiannan were alumni during their study abroad in Cambridge, and their private friendship is good.

Under the name of the Ge family, in the consumer electronics field, in addition to Carson Industrial, there is also Carson Electronics Group. The business division between Carson Electronics and Carson Industrial is very clear. However, when Ge Mingxin controlled Carson Electronics and began to compete for Carson Industrial's business in small appliances, squeezing Carson Industrial's market. This internal struggle completely made Carson Industrial an inequality listed company. Compared with Carson Industrial's miserable market, the market value of which once fell below HK$100 million - Hong Kong Carson Electronics, with a market value of more than HK$8 billion, is considered a giant. It has quite strong technical strength in the fields of high-tech key spare parts and systems such as computers and consumer electronics, and has built a science and technology industrial park in Shenzhen.

In addition to planning to open a market in Southeast Asia, hasn’t Kewang set up a new R&D department? They will also develop system control for the R&D of the disc machine at the beginning. Integrating all control components into large chips is a future trend that most disc machine manufacturers can see, but this is not something that Kewang can solve immediately with his own technical strength or just asking for help from the Chint Group.

Xie Jiannan had never considered cooperating with Chia Xin Electronics before. First of all, he attached too much importance to market publicity methods, and secondly, he was worried that Chia Xin Electronics' strength would affect the control of Chia Xin Electronics' control over Kewang.

Zhang Ke thought to himself: What choice will the Xie family have at this time?

Haizhou Commercial District is mainly concentrated in Qianmen area. In the mid-1990s, there were very few high-rise buildings in this area. In recent years, several new high-rise buildings were high-rise buildings, but most of them were more than ten floors, and there were not only one high-rise building with more than twenty floors. Standing on the top of the thirty-story Futian Building, it would probably feel like you were looking at the small buildings.

The wind was very strong on the roof of the building, and Chen Jing felt a little terrified of heights, but when her head was swelling, she was used to going to the rooftop to blow the wind. She pushed open the small door on the rooftop and saw Xie Jiannan standing on the phone with someone else, and there was a cigarette in her hand.

Xie Jiannan did not come to experience the feeling of seeing the small buildings. The tangible height was easy to surpass, but in front of him there was an invisible mountain, and he didn't know how high that mountain was.

Chen Jing hesitated for a moment, Xie Jiannan turned around and saw her, waved her to come over, covered the phone call hole and talked to Chen Jing: "Second brother's phone..."

"Zijia's brother?" Chen Jing only used his mouth to express these words. Xie Yi, who is only 34 years old this year, ranks second among the Xie brothers and sisters. He is Xie Hanjing's son. He has long been the core figure of the Zhengtai Group. Xie Jiannan is responsible for the King of Ke, and Haitai's affairs are handed over to Xie Yi for handling.

Xie Jiannan nodded, said a few more words and hung up the phone: "My second brother just said on the phone: Yesterday, Shengxin and Xinhuadu Group negotiated a cooperation agreement and were willing to pay 260 million yuan to eat the podium and one-story office building of Xinhuadu Building in Xinshi Street to open their second store in the province..."

Sheng Xin opened the first store in Donghai, Xicheng Home Appliances Store, located in Xicheng City. It was also Sheng Xin's first test of the waters in the home appliance chain industry. After the successful trial, Sheng Xin Electric unexpectedly switched to Shanghai and Zhejiang, giving up the market in the province to Haitai. Sheng Xin Electric took more than a year to cooperate with local home appliance operators in Shanghai and Zhejiang to open fifteen stores in a row, and the store opening speed was nearly twice as fast as Haitai. Haitai Electric only entered Haizhou at the beginning of this year, but with its relatively superior geographical environment and scale, it quickly became equal to the Xicheng Store.

Everyone knows that Sheng Xin will one day return to the provincial market.

"Ah!" Chen Jing stood with the wind on her back, her hair blew the cold wind. "Aren't you worried that Sheng Xin would take the opportunity to advance step by step?"

"Oh, it was a bit strange to receive a call from Xie Yi," Xie Jiannan held up the collar of the wind and blocked the wind into his neck. Others stood Chen Jing's head and helped her to cover up some wind. This kind of considerate in the subtle parts that were not exposed can please girls. "Ye Jianbin seems to have a lot of free time in Haizhou during this period..."

After the Ida dealer conference ended, Ye Jianbin stayed in Haizhou for three or four days. He wanted to spend more time with Sun Jingxiang when she was working in Haizhou. Xie Jiannan and Chen Jing naturally didn't know what was inside, so they naturally focused on Zhang Ke, thinking that Ye Jianbin was hiding behind Zhang Ke for the past few days in Haizhou. Because Sheng Xin decided to acquire the podium of the Xinhuadu Building after Ye Jianbin returned from Haizhou.

Chen Jing could also understand who Xie Jiannan was afraid of. When he thought of his handsome face with a harmless smile, he would step on the brake and sprain his ankle too hard. Chen Jing burst out laughing unconsciously.

"What are you laughing at?" Xie Jiannan asked strangely.

"Am I laughing?" Chen Jing touched the corner of his mouth. Some things were difficult to explain, but they couldn't explain them clearly. That day, Xie Jiannan was considerate and asked him to come back from Wenshan Hotel to rest first, but he was delayed by Zhang Ke in the hospital until more than 10 o'clock. Probably Zhang Ke didn't want him to sprain his ankle on the brakes, so he would know. "I'm thinking that Sheng Xin is difficult to figure out, but aren't you worried that Sheng Xin will expand heavily in the province? Now, they want to build such a large store on Xinshi Street. If there is no one year, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make any other big moves!"

"Who knows what they are thinking? Perhaps they also feel that the rapid expansion has put the entire company's management system, logistics system, after-sales service system, etc. under great pressure. They also need time to adjust..."

Raising more than 300 million yuan in funds can make one devoted effort to building a flagship store, or it can blossom everywhere and expand the provincial market in an all-round way. However, the pressure caused by the two different solutions on the company's management, logistics, after-sales and other systems is very different.

Xie Jiannan was worried that Ye Jianbin would rob the city and plunder the provincial home appliance chain market. Since Sheng Xin took out huge capital to acquire the podium property of Xinhuadu Building, there is no need to worry about how much Sheng Xin will do during this period. However, this floor of worries are gone, and other worries emerged: "Sheng Xin may want to take advantage of the opportunity that Haitai is unable to expand to make internal adjustments, but they will not adjust forever. Ye Jianbin has been in Haizhou for so long this time, and maybe Jinhu may inject capital into Sheng Xin..."

"Can you?" Chen Jing asked in confusion.

"It's very likely," Xie Jiannan took Chen Jing's hand into the stairwell. The wind was too strong outside. "We failed to threaten Aida's market position this time. Aida's speed of gathering wealth is too amazing. When their movement factory is put into production, the profit margin is even more scary. I think in the near future, Zhang Ke's investment in Shengxin in the name of Jinhu is not surprising. In addition, their relationship should be very close... The time left for us is not too much. With our own efforts alone, they will definitely be left behind. My second brother wants to move Haitai's headquarters to the provincial capital and take me to choose a place. I happened to meet Ge Yinjun in the provincial capital. Do you want to go there together?"

"What should I do here?" Chen Jing asked with her eyes open.

"Just walk for one or two days, the sky can't get rid of it." Xie Jiannan smiled.

"Let Zijia's brother take charge of Haitai on your behalf. Is your family determined to strengthen these two parts?" Chen Jing asked.

"Oh, yes," Xie Jiannan nodded, "It is necessary to gradually transfer funds from traditional industries and invest in emerging industries.

Xie Jiannan asked Ge Yinjun to meet in Jianye. Ge Yinjun arrived in Jianye first on December 6. Xie Jiannan temporarily delayed the matter. When he handled the matter at hand on the morning of the 7th, when he arrived at the provincial capital and met Ge Yinjun, Ge Yinjun had to return to Hong Kong first due to a sudden change.

It was already afternoon when Xie Jiannan and Chen Jing arrived in the provincial capital by car. They did not meet Ge Yinjun. After Ge Yinjun arrived in Hong Kong by plane, they thought of telling Xie Jiannan that Xie Jiannan had already seen the death of Ge Jingcheng, one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong, from the TV news.

At noon on December 7, Ge Jingcheng, known as the king of Hong Kong's business, passed away in a sleep during a lunch break at the family Changkui Hospital. He was 83 years old. Because Charles Schwab Group did not promptly announce Ge Jingcheng's serious condition to the outside world, Ge Jingcheng's death was a bit sudden for the outside world. The stock prices of six listed companies under Charles Schwab Group fell across the board, and Charles Schwab Industrial was also affected by it, and its stock price fell by 12% within half a day.

On the morning of December 8, Ge Mingxin, the eldest son of Ge Jingcheng and the current president of Carnival Group, held a press conference on the campus of Hong Kong Changkui Medical College, where Ge Jingcheng's mourning hall was located, and announced the funeral. He said that the operation of Carnival Group will not undergo major changes due to Ge Jingcheng's death. It will only make timely slight adjustments based on the difference in time and space, and announced the funeral. The mourning hall located at the Changkui Medical College of Ge Jia Private University will also be opened to the public on the afternoon of the 8th to facilitate people from all walks of life to come to pay their respects.

Although not kind, Zhang Ke and Sun Shangyi, Ge Mingde and Ye Jianbin agreed to jointly issue a statement of increase in holdings by Yuexiu, Ye's holding company in Hong Kong, Sun Shangyi, Ge Mingde and other top four shareholders of Jiaxin Industrial, to increase their holdings of Jiaxin Industrial at a price not exceeding the price before the stock price fell, in order to maintain Hong Kong investors' confidence in Jiaxin Industrial.

As the stock prices of other listed companies under Charles Schwain Group continued to fall, Charles Schwain Industry quickly stopped falling and rebounded after the four major shareholders issued a joint statement on the morning of December 8.

If Zhang Ke wants to use the additional issuance and merger plan to place Aida Electronics' disc player assets into Chiaxin Industrial. The higher the stock price of Chiaxin Industrial, the more beneficial it is to implement this plan. Although there is such a good excuse to absorb stocks at a low price, it is most important to maintain Hong Kong investors' confidence in Chiaxin Industrial. The top four shareholders still buy large orders, which directly raises the stock price and rebounds. The shareholding ratio of the top four shareholders is as high as 73%, and the market value of the stocks scattered in other investors is not more than HK$300 million. Zhang Ke used the prepaid decoding board payment to transfer 300 million to the Hong Kong company's account. He is not afraid that Chiaxin Industrial will not be able to support the price the day before Ge Jingcheng passed away. At present, it will use the funds of Hong Kong companies to increase its holdings, and then transfer the increased shares to the other three companies in proportion.

Although the leg injury has not healed yet, Zhang Ke decided to rush to Hong Kong with Xu Si to pay condolences. He put plaster on his right foot, for fear that Fu Jun would not take care of too much, Ma Hailong also went there, because Ye Jianbin would also go to Hong Kong for condolences, and he asked him to book the tickets on his behalf. On the afternoon of the 8th, Zhang Ke and Xu Si got off the expressway and went directly to the airport to meet Ye Jianbin at the airport. The car was still on the expressway in Jianye City South Expressway. Ye Jianbin called happily: "Do you know who takes the same flight with us?"

"Xie Jiaxun..." I didn't think about the difficulty at all. I guess Ye Jianbin met someone at the airport. "It's not the only one who wants to join in the fun."

"Xie Hanjing also went out in person, and your old rival Xie Jiannan and his mistress..."

Zhang Ke thought Ye Jianbin was talking about Chen Jing, and smiled and said, "I'm in a serious and honest relationship, do you think you and Sister Sun."

"I didn't say that mistress Chen Jing, Chen Jing was there too, but the mistress I was talking about seemed to be Xie Jiannan's secretary when he was in Haitai. I eavesdropped on their tone, as if the woman is now serving as an assistant to Xie Hanjing. Shao Xinwen had some impression. The two of them were serious in the waiting room, and Xie Jiannan was still joking with Chen Jing. When I came over, I saw Xie Jiannan and his secretary's hands tucked together with their fingers behind the chair..."

Zhang Ke curled his lips, not interested in talking about such things, but admired Xie Jiannan for his courage to play exciting things. He was not something that ordinary people could bear in front of Chen Jing, and asked, "Old Shao is by your side, and he is also going to Hong Kong?"

"He will take me to the airport and will go back later."

It was just right when Zhang Ke and his friends arrived at the airport. Zhang Ke's crutch was too late to check in temporarily, so they had to hand it over to the driver to take it back, and asked the staff responsible for picking up the airport to buy another single carriage. They did not buy business class, they could only go to economy class. Xie Hanjing, Xie Jiannan and other business class passengers had already registered in advance. Zhang Ke and his friends had to go to the back of the cabin and had to pass through business class. Passengers sitting in business class were used to sweeping over the people passing through the middle aisle with indifferent eyes. Xie Jiannan had already picked up the newspaper today when he came to his seat. Today's front page of the Economic Report reported the news of Ge Jingcheng's death.

Xie Jiannan accidentally looked up and saw Zhang Ke walking in with Fu Jun's support. Ye Jianbin, Xu Si and others followed behind. He was a little surprised. He immediately thought that they should have gone to Hong Kong to pay their respects, and it wouldn't be as simple as mourning. There was a thin layer of shade on his face.

Zhang Ke saw Xie Jiannan, Chen Jing and Xie Hanjing sitting in the same row, and Ye Jianbin saw Xie Jiannan's former secretary and other entourage were probably also sitting in the economy class behind, not here.
