Chapter 923 The pressure from Kumho

Ge Jiande felt the pressure from Jinhu and looked solemn. Media reporters asked about the details of the "Hundred Cities and Hundred Stores" plan, and he, Liu Wentao and others finally survived until the press conference and left the factory here.

At night, Xie Jiannan arranged a sumptuous dinner for them at the Wenshan Hotel in the city.

After all, Liu Wentao was also the newly appointed secretary of the municipal party committee. Wenshan Hotel arranged for them to be at Wangjiang Tower near the lakeside. Xie Jiannan was most moved by Wangjiang Tower. When Zhou Fuming was full of energy in Haizhou, Wangjiang Tower was equivalent to his palace. Without Zhou Fuming's approval, Wangjiang Tower was not open to the public. Yu Ping's woman also made a fortune in Wangjiang Tower. At this time, she actually climbed to the position of President of Kewang Hi-Tech.

After getting off the bus, Hirozo Ikesa stretched out and stood on the lawn in front of the building. Looking at the misty lake water in the north, he said to Yuyu Nakamura: "I didn't expect there would be such a quiet place..."

It cannot be denied that Wenshan Hotel is the quietest hotel in Haizhou City, no doubt about it.

The entrance archway of Wenshan Hotel is hidden among the lush trees. Passing outside, I thought there was a park here.

Hinata Ikesa and Yuyuu Nakamura were talking in Japanese. No one else could understand except for the translation. Instead, Xiao Chaogui, general manager of the Wenshan Hotel standing beside him, nodded slightly and replied in Japanese: "I am grateful for the praise!"

Xiao Chaogui's move indeed attracted Liu Wentao's attention. He stood up and turned around and asked him in Japanese: "Do you know Japanese?"

"The hotel often entertains RB guests and learns some of them." Xiao Chaogui said, "It's just that your pronunciation is not as authentic as Secretary Liu..."

"I studied Japanese for a year in RB, and I learned Japanese during that period..." Liu Wentao smiled slightly and asked Ge Jiande and Chi Zuojizang to go first.

Liu Wentao was unwilling to give the three deputy secretaries Song Peiming, Du Xiaoshan and Lu Yiguang a blind eye. If you want to gain a foothold in Haizhou, you have to think about it.

Supporting Kewang is not only to support Xie Hanming, Xie Jiannan and his son. Behind the new Kewang is Huaxia Electronics, RBNEC and Mitsui Consortium. Ge Jiande has a certain status in central ministries and commissions, and is also a helping Liu Wentao. The key is that Mitsui has a history of operating in China for 20 years. Mitsui's influence in China is afraid that no one can know more than him, the former deputy director of the Operations Bureau of the Planning Commission. Liu Wentao went to RB to visit RB that year, and also went to RB through the cooperation project between Mitsui and Shougang.

Liu Wentao naturally had a good feeling of airborne from the central government to the local government. Of course, he also knew that his connections in central ministries and commissions alone were not enough to gain a firm foothold in Haizhou. Another goal of winning over Kewang was that King Kewang had a foothold in Haizhou for more than two years. Although he had a bad relationship with officials of Tang Xueqian, it was precisely because King Kewang had a bad relationship with officials of Tang Xueqian and Tang Xueqian that some of the networks established by King Kewang in Haizhou could be used directly.

Liu Wentao wanted to win over those officials who excluded and suppressed Tang Xueqian's group of officials. Only by pulling these officials back to a certain track can he say he has gained a firm foothold in Haizhou.

Of course, there is another important reason to win over King Ke, which is that the Yan family and Hongxin Construction behind Liu Wentao want to enjoy the benefits of Jincheng Real Estate from the Xie family and his son.

Before Liu Wentao arrived in Haizhou, he had studied the personnel affairs in Haizhou and knew that Xiao Chaogui was the man.

Wenshan Hotel is a hospitality hotel designated by the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. It was Zhou Fuming's palace in Haizhou that year. He was familiar with flattery and was indeed capable. When Xiao Chaogui was the most prosperous, he served as deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office and general manager of Wenshan Hotel at the age of 32. He was a young man in Haizhou.

Due to the conflict between Zhou Fuming and Tang Xueqian, the entertainment hotel of the municipal government had actually become Xicheng Hotel during that period. After Zhou Fuming retired, Tang Xueqian served as the secretary of the municipal party committee and allocated the state-owned assets department of Xicheng Hotel to Haizhou Holdings for management. Haizhou Holdings relied on the resources of the former Xicheng Hotel and Century Jinhu Catering and Entertainment Group to jointly build the first five-star hotel in Haizhou New Xicheng Hotel. The Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government all arranged the New Xicheng Hotel for important banquets and activities.

In addition to the New West City Hotel, two four-star hotels have also been emerging in the city in the past two years. In the Industrial New District, Century Kumho Catering and Entertainment Group has also invested and built a four-star high-end hotel in Kumho New City, located in the southeast corner of Xiaojinhu, Haizhou City. Wenshan Hotel, which was the first to be a three-star hotel in Haizhou, lost its previous scenery.

Zhou Fugui took the initiative to retreat from the position of secretary of the municipal party committee in order to give up Su Yiqun. In addition to serious violations of laws and regulations, other officials of his group did not completely remove the system. Xiao Chaogui no longer served as deputy director of the municipal party committee office, but he continued to serve as general manager (deputy department level) of Wenshan Hotel, but his glory was far inferior to before. He was also lucky. If Tang Xueqian left a little later, Wenshan Hotel would also be reorganized from the establishment of state-owned institutions. Xiao Chaogui at most returned to the Municipal Party Committee Office to serve as a deputy department-level researcher.

Liu Wentao's wife was unwilling to move to Haizhou with him. On the one hand, she did not want to resign from her public office. On the other hand, her son had to take care of her in Beijing. This was exactly what Liu Wentao wanted. He had only been to Haizhou for three days and was not in a hurry to move into the municipal party committee compound. With Xie Jiannan's recommendation, he moved directly into the Wenshan Hotel. During these three days, he was treated meticulously by Xiao Chaogui, and was extremely satisfied with this person.

Liu Wentao has always believed that a team that leads must include three types of people: one must have the ability to charge and do practical things; one must be able to slap his beard and run away, and serve himself comfortably; one can kick him out as cannon fodder and scapegoat at critical moments, and the leader will live more comfortably. These three types of people are indispensable.

Xiao Chaogui is good at shooting beards and running horses, and he has some abilities. Of course Liu Wentao likes it, and even examines whether to use him as a confidant. Liu Wentao's most urgent task in Haizhou is that he has no confidant. Without confidant or minion, he can't understand the situation in Haizhou. Even if he is the chairman of the Military Commission, he will be undermined when he goes to Haizhou.

For people like Xiao Chaogui, they were not close to officials of Tang Xueqian before, and the resentment in their hearts was not a little bit. If they defected to the new municipal party secretary, they would not suffer more losses. Maybe they could take a shortcut to make a fortune. For people like them, could they have more choices?

The after-event show after the dinner was not held together. Ge Jiande winked at Lin Xue and sneaked back to the room first. It must be that there are few fair women like Lin Xue. Besides, Lin Xue’s coquettishness on the bed is not something that any fair woman can do.

Ge Jiande waited in the room for a while, someone knocked on the door and opened it eagerly. He wanted to reach out to grab Fengying's white wrist and handed it out halfway before he saw that the beautiful woman standing in front of him was Chi Zuoxuezang's secretary.

Chi Zuoxue's secretary also shocked Ge Jiande's hand, and took a step back, saying, "Chi Zuoxue asked me to come over and ask if Mr. Ge is free?"

"Oh, it's you, what's the matter with Mr. Chi Zuo looking for me?" Ge Jiande took his hand back without changing his face. He didn't know what Chi Zuo Xiuzang had to ask him for this time. No matter how enthusiastic he wanted to do good things with Lin Xue, he could not throw Chi Zuo Xiuzang aside. At this time, his assistant heard the noise and leaned out of the room next door. Ge Jiande asked his assistant and Chi Zuo Xiuzang's secretary to wait in the aisle. He went back to the room and hung up the phone for Lin Xue, and then followed him to Chi Zuo Xiuzang's room.

Wenshan Hotel was built in the 1960s and its facilities could be replaced, but the small living room could not be changed. The arrangement of Chi Sashuzang here is the highest-end suite of Wenshan Hotel, but it is far from comparable to the real luxury suite. However, the lake water under the night can be slightly compensated.

There was no one in Ikesa Hidezo's room except NEC China President Yuu Nakamura.

"Mr. Chi Zuo came over to me, what's wrong?" Ge Jiande asked in confusion.

"What does Mr. Ge think of Kumho today?" Chi Zuoxuezang asked Ge Jiande to sit down together and asked him seriously.

Ge Jiande didn't know Chi Zuoxue's intention, but he couldn't deny that the pressure on him was still extremely obvious.

After its establishment, Huaxia Electronics' annual operating income will exceed 25 billion yuan. It is a well-deserved giant in China and will undoubtedly rank first in the top 100 electronics industry. In 1998, the annual net profit of 1.8 billion yuan will also be particularly prominent and prominent among many central enterprises.

Not only Ge Jiande knew it in his heart, but also in the Ministry of Information Industry, that Huaxia Electronics' achievements will become eclipsed in front of Kumho.

Seeing Ge Jiande's eyes appearing confusion, Chi Zuoxue said: "Mr. Ge seems to think we attach too much importance to Kanho. In fact, we Mitsui never underestimate any potential competitors, and we also have great respect for Huaxia Electronics..."

Ji Zuoxuezang's words were trustworthy or not. Ge Jiande smiled and thought to himself that Ji Zuoxuezang might never have thought that the tragic situation of him fighting with Zhang Ke for the woman from the Samsung Lee Kun-hee family fell into Lin Xue's eyes. Ge Jiande had seen Li Xinyu twice and had to admit that such a beauty is worth fighting for.

Ge Jiande was inexplicably afraid of the Mitsui Consortium. He regarded any cooperation between Huaxia Electronics and Mitsui member companies as a major success. This was the case with Huaxia NEC's wafer factory project before, and it was also the same with joint investment in Kewang. He never considered that the Mitsui Consortium would feel the pressure and threat of Kumho... Chi Zuoxuezang attached so much to Kumho, perhaps there were more personal grudges, right? Ge Jiande thought so.

"Mr. Ge should be very clear about the business conditions of Kumho?" asked Chi Zuoxue.

"It's not clear," said Ge Jiande. "The data submitted by Kumho to the Ministry of Information Industry only includes domestic and overseas sales data of its consumer electronic products. The relationship structure of Kumho's subordinate members and affiliated companies is complicated - this is why Kumho is imitating Mitsui. The outside world always doesn't understand the relationship structure between Mitsui and member companies. I don't know which aspect of Kumho's business situation is about Mr. Chi Zuo?"

"Does Mr. Ge know the operating conditions of the Kumho component department?" asked Chi Zuoxuezang.

It is difficult to understand the specific situation, but you can also see a clue. It can be said that in the past year, the fastest growth of Kumho is its components department. Ge Jiande looked at Chi Zuoxue and thought to himself: Even if Kumho's components department has made great progress in the past year, this progress should not be taken seriously by Mitsui, right?

Yuyuu Nakamura, president of NEC China, who has been sitting aside and silently, said: "Mr. Ge, the two cooperation between NEC and Huaxia Electronics is just the beginning... To be honest, in the past year, China's consumer electronics market has seen strong growth, but in some areas, the increase in exports of RB companies to Chinese components is not very obvious."

Yuyuu Nakamura was worried that revealing his secret to Ge Jiande would put them in a passive position, but after contacting him a few times, he found out that as the manager of Huaxia Electronics, he was also concerned about his personal interests. Of course, they have the ability to meet Ge Jiande's personal interests and it would be okay to reveal some details to him.

After hearing what Yuyuzu Nakamura said, Ge Jiande thought to himself that it was the rapid growth of the Kumho component department that suppressed RB's component exports to China? Hesitantly looked up at Yuyuzu Nakamura and asked: "Does some fields refer to the digital mobile phone field?"

"Well," Nakamura Yuyu nodded. He looked at Hirohiko Ikesa and said, "I believe Mr. Ge knows much more clearly about the situation of the Digital Mobile Technology Promotion Association than us."

Without ten or eight years of accumulation, it is undoubtedly a delusion to shorten the gap with RB companies, but Jinhu chose a path of transcendence with products as the core, which really made them feel some pressure.

China's mobile phone market has seen explosive growth in the past year. Although RB companies' exports to China's mobile phone components have also increased strongly, the growth rate, especially the increase in mid- and low-end components, has declined significantly in the past two months, which is enough to attract the attention of RB companies.

At the end of last year, when Kumho's unique promotion of digital mobile phone technology promotion association was established, the size of China's mobile phone market was less than one-twentieth of RB. This factor that should have attracted enough attention was ignored by some mediocre market analysts.

At this time, around the Digital Mobile Phone Technology Promotion Association, Haizhou has initially formed an industrial cluster in Jianye, and Haizhou has formed a relatively complete industrial chain in Jianye. The core of this industrial chain is the component department under Jinhu. The most direct consequence of this industrial chain is that it has led to a significant decline in the export of mobile phone components from RB companies to the Chinese market in the past two months.
