Chapter 375: Once Reborn, Twice Familiar
Gu Minghuo frantically called his assistant at the company, asking him to retrieve the joint letter signed with his name no matter what!
Anything like boycotting the Torch Group and challenging the Torch Group disappeared in Gu Ming's mind when he saw the Torch Group appearing on the news broadcast!
When a company appears on the news broadcast as a gesture of commendation, Gu Ming can imagine what will happen next. It is a certainty that it will sweep the entire domestic lighter market. No one Can stop the rise of the Torch Group.
Gu Ming was worried. He didn't know if the joint letter could be recovered. Once it was published in the newspaper or made public, the company whose name they wrote on it might be in trouble.
From the news just now, Gu Ming already knows Yanjing's attitude. Compared with their group of old lighter companies, Yanjing obviously values Torch Group and Torch Industrial Park more!
Gu Ming and his lighter company can earn some foreign exchange, but the number of jobs their lighter company can provide and the amount of tax revenue they can generate are not enough for the Torch Group.
Gu Ming, who has experienced strong winds and heavy rains, knows that only by being able to bend and stretch can he live longer, otherwise he will be using his arms as a cart and throwing eggs at rocks!
At this time, Gu Ming no longer thought about fighting against the Torch Group. He went to join the Torch Group. If he could get a share of lighter exports and make a living, he would be satisfied.
The phone rang on the table, and Gu Ming quickly picked up the phone. When he heard that the joint letter was recovered, Gu Ming couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
But after listening to the assistant's words, Gu Ming's face became strange, and then he couldn't help but cursed, "A bunch of losers!"
It turned out that there were more than just people who were rushing to chase the co-signed letter. Gu Ming alone, and even several lighter manufacturers, have jumped out in advance and declared that they will join the Torch Industrial Park.
"Buy the earliest ticket tomorrow, I'm going to Hanxi!" Gu Ming cursed secretly, gritted his teeth and said, preparing to go to the Torch Group to pay a visit to the dock and hand in the investment certificate. It is not shameful to pay a visit to the dock at this time. It’s better than the company going bankrupt!
......
"Bring me another bottle of wine, the ten-year-old bottle!"
In a suite in the courtyard of the Hanxi Provincial Government, when he saw the Torch Group appearing on the news broadcast, Luo Junwu, the founder of the Torch Group, had not even taken a sip of wine at the moment, but he seemed to be drunk even if he was not drunk. .
Looking at the TV, he then looked at Luo Junwu, who was obviously extremely excited. Luo Junwu's wife knew that he was in high spirits, and although she was reluctant to give him a drink, she still got up and brought the wine over.
"Drink less. Your body is no longer what it used to be. During last month's physical examination, the doctor told you not to drink more..."
Regarding his wife's nagging, Luo Junwu He was not angry, smiled, poured a glass of wine, and drank it in one gulp, "Today is different, it's time to drink!"
The news on TV had already ended, but Luo Junwu still looked at Regarding television, he is the founder of the Torch Group. The Torch Group was a project approved by him when he was the head of Pingyang. No one can refute this.
Although he had already left Pingyang and was promoted to the provincial capital, for Luo Junwu, the Torch Group was the most dazzling achievement in his career!
As long as the Torch Group performs well enough, even if Luo Junwu retires in two years, he will be remembered. When news about the Torch Group is involved, he will also be mentioned. In his official career, How many people can be treated like this? !
Not only Luo Junwu, but also people in the official career related to Torch Group and Torch Industrial Park, when they saw this news, they all knew that Torch Group was becoming a credit book!
As long as the Torch Group and people related to the Torch industry can benefit from the credit book, with the development of the Torch Group in the future, I am afraid that more people in the official career will benefit from the Torch Group. .
Almost soon after the Torch Group was in the news, the phone number of the Torch Group’s marketing department was bombarded with calls. The calls didn’t stop all night and they couldn’t be answered at all.
That night, Torch Group's orders almost immediately exploded. Large orders from all over the country poured into Torch Group crazily.
Being in the news this time is almost equivalent to advertising for the Torch Group in front of hundreds of millions of viewers across the country, and it is an officially certified advertisement.
If in the past, it was mainly companies such as tobacco, alcohol, and health care products that wanted to use Torch Group’s lighters as a gift for buying products, then this time, it is major domestic shopping malls and supermarkets. , canteens, restaurants, hotels and other retail channels, place orders with Torch Group, and Torch Group’s orders are overwhelming!
When Torch Group appeared on the news broadcast, there was no longer any obstacle to the establishment of the Lighter Import and Export Association.
“With the approval of the Economic and Trade Commission, Industry and Commerce, Development and Reform, Customs Administration and other departments, Torch Group has joined forces with a number of lighter industry companies to formally establish the National Lighter Import and Export Association. The first lighter import and export president will be Zhang Be filial and take responsibility!”
The next day, Hanxi Daily publicly announced the establishment of the Lighter Import and Export Association. At this time, there was naturally no opposition.
Gu Ming hurried to the provincial capital of Hanxi Province early in the morning, and then rushed towards Pingyang. The sooner he submits his name certificate, the better. There is no point in submitting it late.
After getting in the car, Gu Ming made a phone call to Huang Xinhai. They were both in the lighter circle and were somewhat related. Gu Ming and Huang Xinhai were old acquaintances, but they didn’t have a close relationship before. However, this time Gu Mingqiu came to Huang Xinhai, who had already taken refuge in Torch Group, and wanted Huang Xinhai to help introduce the executives of Torch Group to him. "Old Huang, this time my brother is all relying on you!" As soon as he arrived in Pingyang and saw Huang Xinhai, Gu Ming immediately complained.
Seeing this, Huang Xinhai shook his head and said, "Boss Gu, come here, even if you don't come to me, there will be no trouble. Torch Industrial Park has long declared that other domestic lighters are welcome Manufacturers settle in and use the lighter industry chain of Torch Industrial Park together! ”
Huang Xinhai had contact with executives from Torch Industrial Park and Torch Group, including Zhang Xiaocheng and even Li Dongling.
Huang Xinhai has a feeling that the pattern of establishing the Torch Group is much higher than outsiders imagined.
Old-school lighter manufacturers such as Gu Ming still want to sell products at low prices, get involved in the industry, or do OEM work for lighter manufacturers such as Nippon Benzene and America, but the generosity shown by Torch Group has made it difficult for them to Huang Xinhai had a hunch that the Torch Group was not formed to compete with domestic lighter manufacturers for the scraps left by foreign lighter manufacturers!
"That's what I said, but who knows what will happen in the future, I still need you, Mr. Huang, to be more busy and say some kind words!"
With a sad look on his face, Gu Ming, the founder of the Lighter Import and Export Association He already knew the news, and asked himself, if this power and weapon were in his hands, would he use it against his previous opponents?
Huang Xinhai heard this and didn't say much. He picked up a new newspaper and handed it to Gu Ming.
Gu Ming didn’t know what Huang Xinhai meant, so he took the newspaper with some doubts. This was the latest report from the Pingyang City Newspaper today. When he saw the title on the front page, Gu Ming His eyes widened, and a surge of hot blood instantly surged to his forehead, making him feel confused and his vision blurred.
"Boss Gu, are you okay?"
Seeing Gu Ming's body swaying and seeming to fall, Huang Xinhai couldn't help being shocked. He quickly supported Gu Ming and called someone outside. Come in.
“I’m fine!”
Gu Ming was breathing heavily, his eyes were bloodshot, and he held the newspaper tightly in his hand, "Is what it says true?"
"Can this be false?"
Seeing that Gu Ming had recovered, Huang Xinhai breathed a sigh of relief, "Other media followed suit. The paper hasn’t been delivered here yet, but I guess everyone will report it!”
After a while, the Economic Daily, Business Times and other newspapers were delivered. Gu Ming pulled them over and saw the above. The title is basically the same as the news in the Binh Duong City Newspaper just now.
Gu Ming's eyes were complicated, but also somewhat admiring. "We lost to the Torch Group. We did not lose unjustly. If we can win this lawsuit, I will be really convinced. Zhang Xiaocheng of the Torch Group Man, he is a real man!”
The newspaper in Gu Ming's hand fell to the side, and the headline on it clearly read, "Zhang Xiaocheng, President of the National Lighter Import and Export Association, announced his first association proposal after taking office, and will formally respond to the anti-dumping launched by Old Europe against the domestic lighter industry. Investigate!
In addition, Mr. Li Dongling, one of the chairman of the National Lighter Import and Export Association, the largest shareholder of Torch Group, and the founder of Dongling High-tech, announced that he will launch a lawsuit against the old European Lighter Manufacturers Federation and the American Lighter Association. , as well as foreign lighter companies such as Zippo, Colobi, Dupont, and BAK, have filed unfair competition lawsuits! ”
The domestic lighter industry has been suppressed overseas, and various targets have been filed. After being fined, a number of lighter giant manufacturers, including Zippo, Colby, and BAK, led by them, used various means to target domestic lighter manufacturers, and even lobbied the American Capitol Hill to pass the CR bill to drive domestic lighters out of America. Market and so on.
But in the past, including Gu Ming's lighter company, they all worked alone. One company alone could not afford the high legal fees. Another point is that domestic lighter manufacturers, for those overseas lighters The company has a sense of fear and dare not respond to the lawsuit, as if it is afraid of losing the lawsuit and becoming a criminal in the industry.
This led to the fact that when America launched anti-dumping against domestic lighters, no domestic lighter company dared to stand up and resist. American lighter manufacturers such as Zippo and Colby easily drove out domestic lighters. Down to the Pacific Ocean!
But now, the National Lighter Association, which was established less than a few hours ago, has stepped forward to respond to the anti-dumping investigation of Old Europe, and even countersued Zippo and other lighter giants for maliciously suppressing domestic lighters, unfair competition, etc.
For Gu Ming, this shock was too great. It was like facing an opponent who never dared to challenge him. He regarded the opponent as a god. No matter how excessive the opponent was, he did not dare to resist for fear of offending him. If you kill the other party, you will suffer greater punishment.
But now, a man stood up, raised the sword in his hand, and challenged the gods in the eyes of Gu Ming and others. This move was almost like killing a god!
From the moment he saw the newspaper, Gu Ming knew that they, the old lighter manufacturers, had lost, and they had lost completely, not only in terms of lighter revenue and sales, but more importantly , the structure, courage, and strategic vision of the two sides are almost completely different from the same dimension.
