Chapter 381 A man relies on his clothes, and a horse relies on his saddle
Zhou Wenyan has a headache. He used to be just a technician, how could he have thought of so many tricks.
However, these two new projects proposed by Li Dongling, he did have some tricks up their sleeves, and they were obviously aimed at harvesting leeks!
This is not about how unpredictable Zhou Wenyan is, but about the many products that Li Dongling has launched since his debut, from electronic pet machines to Shenzhou phones, to Feiyan mini multi-functional emergency radios, PHS mobile phones, etc. , are all very popular overseas and have earned a lot of foreign exchange.
As for the new project proposed by Li Dongling for the Torch Group, Zorro high-end lighters are priced at more than fifty US dollars. China cannot support such consumption power. It is still the consumption power of America and old Europe. A bit stronger.
The same is true for high-end lighters, and the same is probably true for e-cigarettes. Zhou Wenyan feels that the price of e-cigarettes is probably not cheap, and they are definitely more popular overseas.
Zhou Wenyan nodded, "I will start the research and development project of Zorro lighters and electronic cigarettes as soon as possible, but..."
"The research and development of electronic cigarettes may take a lot of time. , you need to invite professional medical research and development personnel to join, and I am afraid it will also cost a lot of money.”
If you just launch an e-cigarette casually, you don’t need to spend a lot of time, but you want to develop one! To make an e-cigarette that is safe and meets the medical review standards of China, America, and old Europe, you need to invite a large number of professional medical personnel to participate, conduct a lot of research and development, and invest a large amount of real money. .
“Don’t worry about funding. The board of directors of Torch Group will fully support these two new projects!”
Li Dongling gave Zhou Wenyan a guarantee, which made Zhou Wenyan breathe a sigh of relief. When others gave Zhou Wenyan promises, he still had to think about whether they wanted to trick him.
But Li Dongling made a promise, Zhou Wenyan did not need to worry. Dongling Hi-Tech is the largest shareholder of Torch Group, and it is also the operator of Torch Group. It is enough to see that Torch Group has reached this stage. What is Li Dongling's vision?
Not to mention, the other two major shareholders of Torch Group, Binh Duong City Investment and Han Tay State Investment, will not refute Li Donglin’s decision at all. For these two companies, the Binh Duong City Government and Han Tay Province are behind these two companies. From the perspective of the government, Torch Group can fail, but if Tanglin Hi-Tech moves away, it will really be a loss of a small fortune!
After coming out of Zhou Wenyan's lighter laboratory, Li Dongling went to Torch Group's marketing department, advertising department and other important departments with Zhang Xiaocheng.
When Zorro high-end lighters and e-cigarettes are launched, Torch Group’s operating model will definitely change. By then, Torch Group will need to establish many specialized stores overseas to sell Zorro. Luo and e-cigarettes, this is a must.
Zorro needs to be packaged as a high-end luxury product with attributes such as value preservation, appreciation, and collection, just like Rolex, Hermès and other gadgets. These things have actually become financial products.
After buying it, it can maintain its value, and even after a few years, the price will increase and become more valuable. You can still make a profit by selling it, which naturally attracts many people and even feeds a bunch of scalpers and second-hand dealers. , you can make a lot of money by selling Rolex, brand-name bags, etc.
Zorro high-end lighters do not seek to be as good as Rolex, but they also need to be hyped up to make more people accept the concept that they can maintain their value and are worth collecting. This is enough.
To do this, we definitely can’t just sell it on the shelves of supermarkets and convenience stores like the Caotai team did. We must have the required quality.
This requires Zorro to build a specialty store to provide sales, maintenance, after-sales and other services. At least it makes buyers feel high-end and allows buyers to experience emotional value.
This is why after the e-commerce era has arrived, so many luxury brands would rather spend everyone's money to rent stores in large shopping malls in the center of the city that few people enter every day, rather than close their doors.
Bigger is like an invincible golden body. Once it is broken, the die-hard supporters of the entire brand will break through and run away in an instant...
Li Dongling has been with the Torch Group for a long time. It has been quite some time. If it weren't for the Binh Duong City Government, the Hansi Provincial Government, and the Economic and Trade Commission and other Yanjing departments that paid special attention to the Torch Group, Li Dongling would not have stayed here for such a long time.
After finishing dealing with the Torch Group, Li Dongling also needs to go back to Tangling High-tech to deal with a lot of things. Especially as the new year is approaching, there are even more things that Li Dongling needs to deal with.
……
After faxing the information he compiled to the Torch Group, Gu Dayang waited for the news in Shanghai.
To be honest, Gu Dayang has no idea whether the executives of Torch Group will be able to see the information he wrote and whether they will invite him to join the anti-dumping response team of Torch Group.
Especially in the past few days, the sales volume of Torch Group has continued to reach record highs. Leaders of Hanxi Provincial Government and Yanjing departments have been visiting Torch Group for inspections. Even individuals can see it. , various municipal governments attach great importance to Torch Group.
In this case, he himself is not sure whether Torch Group will let Gu Dayang join the respondent team. After all, the big names in the domestic legal field, and even the big ones in Hong Kong City, are all Quite a few.
As for the bet with Huang Gaoqun, Gu Dayang does not have the right to decide whether he loses or wins. At least there are more voices from the outside world now that Huang Gaoqun's chance of winning is much higher.
Again, no domestic company has ever dared to file an anti-dumping lawsuit with a foreign country before. Facing the old European trade department, the entire industry may be wiped out overseas, which makes many people even more worried. They are all afraid.
"Professor Gu, someone is looking for you!" Just as various thoughts were popping up in Gu Dayang's mind, someone from the school affairs office suddenly came in and said to Gu Dayang.
"Professor Gu, I am the person in charge of the Shanghai office of Tanglin Hi-tech. I am here to interrupt you on behalf of the Torch Group. I hope you can go to Pingyang!"< br>
The visitor reported his or her connections. Torch Group has not yet set up an office in Shanghai, but Tangling Hi-Tech has established an industrial park base in Shanghai for the production of PHS mobile phones, as well as services for handling other businesses. at.
When he heard that he was going to Pingyang, Gu Dayang was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately responded, "No problem, I can go to Pingyang!"
...
"Professor Gu, thank you for coming. !"
After arriving in the capital of Hanxi Province by plane, Gu Dayang was taken directly to the Torch Group. After coming in, he saw several "acquaintances". Although they had only met a few times before, they Gu Dayang recognized several people, all of whom were big names in domestic legal circles. Apparently, they were also invited here with Gu Dayang this time.
After being taken to an office, when they saw Gu Dayang coming in, several people in the office stood up. The leader said to Gu Dayang with a smile on his face.
Li Dongling stood up and said to Gu Dayang, and then introduced him to Zhang Xiaocheng and other senior executives of Torch Group.
“If I can contribute even a little bit to the anti-dumping lawsuit, what I have learned over the years will be in vain!” Gu Dayang said to Li Dongling and others.
“At this juncture, there are not many people in the domestic legal profession who dare to stand up and challenge old European companies, trade departments, and lawyers!”
Li Dongling shook his head and said, Now, not only in the economic industry, there are many people who hold the same attitude as Huang Gaoqun and are not optimistic about the Torch Group, especially in the legal industry.
Li Dongling and Zhang Xiaocheng looked at each other. Zhang Xiaocheng got straight to the point and said directly to Gu Dayang, "Professor Gu, we hope that we can ask you to serve as the domestic lawyer representative in the anti-dumping litigation case of the National Lighter Association!"
"Me?!"
Gu Dayang was obviously surprised. On the way here, he had thought about joining the anti-dumping legal team, but he never expected that Torch Group would let him serve as a member of the legal team. Domestic lawyer representation.
“We have already read Professor Gu’s high-level article on the anti-dumping case and asked professional international trade dispute lawyers from Hong Kong City to review it. It is feasible. Professor Gu Being an anti-dumping and domestic lawyer representative is the best choice!" Li Dongling said.
Gu Dayang is a little hesitant, but also a little moved. To be honest, this is an opportunity to become famous. If he can win this lawsuit, then this anti-dumping lawsuit will definitely be written into the country. It is used as a classic textbook in international trade and law teaching.
Gu Dayang can basically become the first person in international law in the domestic lawyer industry. Needless to say, in the future, as long as the country involves international trade legal affairs, he will probably need consultation. his opinion.
Even when relevant domestic units formulate certain laws related to international trade, they need to refer to Gu Dayang's opinions and ask him to be their legal advisor.
As for profit, as long as this lawsuit is won, it is still with Gu Dayang as the domestic lawyer representative. From then on, when domestic companies encounter overseas lawsuits and lawsuits, the first thing that comes to mind is probably Just ask Gu Dayang to come out, and the legal fees will definitely not be low!
As long as he can win the lawsuit, fame and fortune will be at his fingertips for Gu Dayang. Of course, if he loses, it will be a trivial matter to apologize to Huang Gaosuo on the TV station.
The key point is that you may still take textbooks related to international economics and international law in major universities, but they are probably negative textbooks, and they will say on them, that is, Gu Dayang, after the domestic reform, The first anti-dumping lawsuit...
"This..."
Gu Dayang smiled bitterly, "My personal fame and fortune are not important. No matter whether I win or lose, if I have to take responsibility, I can take it. But the key is, I am afraid that if it affects the domestic lighter industry, then I will really become a sinner!"
"Professor Gu is worried too much. Even if he loses the lawsuit, he cannot blame it on one person!"
"I am saying that based on the high opinion written by Professor Gu, this time, the Torch Group does not have a chance of winning. ”< br>
Li Dongling said, “This time we are not only inviting Professor Gu, but also several domestic lawyers who have made great achievements in international law to join the anti-dumping legal team.
In addition, Hong Kong will also be invited Lawyers and public relations teams from the city and Old Europe have joined in to deal with the anti-dumping case. The Board of Directors of Torch Group is expected to invest more than 3.5 million US dollars in this lawsuit.”
