Chapter 81 Returning to Hong Kong, Personnel Deployment Arrangements
The next day!
9:00 AM.
The conference room of Legendary Electric Company.
All the management of the electrical appliance companies were present.
After resting yesterday, Li Jiagang looked refreshed today, with a smile on his face and a gentle gaze sweeping over the management team.
"I believe everyone is already aware of the content of today's meeting," Li Jiagang paused, then continued, "but before the meeting begins, let me first report on the company's and product sales over the past few days."
"Reporting to the Chairman," Gao Fuhai immediately reported, "In the past few days, the company has been unable to reach an agreement with several partners and material suppliers. We have filed an expedited lawsuit with the High Court, which has now been accepted. Relevant departments have intervened in the investigation, and the trial date has not yet been determined."
What are the chances of winning the case?
"Attorney Chow is very confident of winning," but he hesitated for a moment before adding, "unless the opposing side can submit new evidence to impress the judge during the trial."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiagang frowned.
He didn't like doing things he wasn't sure about. He frowned, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table as he pondered.
A moment later ————.
"Use the power of the media," he said, his eyes darting around, "buy out multiple newspapers every day to keep publicizing the scandals and negative news about these companies. I want them to gradually lose all their business, preferably before the trial, and drag it out until they face an internal financial crisis."
Upon hearing this, Gao Fuhai's face lit up with excitement: "Chairman, I understand."
"In addition," Kao Fu-hai turned to another page of the document, "the case concerning our company's electrical appliance association personnel, including black market reporters and some ordinary citizens, will have its first court hearing in a week."
"Won't these people's families cause any unnecessary trouble?"
"No, but—" Gao Fuhai thought for a moment and then said, "But these past few days, Meng Weimin has been coming to see you, Chairman. He won't say what it is, he just says he wants to see you in person when you come back."
"Meng Weimin?"
Li Jiagang thought for a moment, a slight smile playing on his lips; he probably already guessed what it was.
"Okay, I understand."
"Let's continue."
"Yes, Chairman."
"Furthermore, at our company's strong request, the police launched a full-scale crackdown on the gangs that vandalized our shops."
During the investigation, the police discovered that the triad had a large number of illegal shady businesses, including underground casinos, noodle shops, and cigarette stalls.
Bathhouses, mahjong parlors, and other illegal revenue-generating establishments.
Dozens of core members of the gang and no fewer than a hundred leaders of varying ranks were arrested.
These individuals encountered problems while incarcerated in detention centers after their arrest.
According to a press conference report held by the Hong Kong government yesterday, this was a case of revenge by an enemy.
"The person in charge of the organization also came to see the chairman and left you a few letters."
Gao Fuhai presented the letter to Li Jiagang.
Li Jiagang calmly accepted the letter, opened it in front of everyone, and read it. The content was nothing more than a plea for leniency. They were willing to pay the price, just to ask the police to stop their crackdown on them.
After reading it, he handed the letter to his secretary, Xiaomei, without any expression. "Destroy it."
"Yes, Chairman."
Let's continue.

"In addition, regarding the new production line, the manufacturer has confirmed that the first batch of ten expedited production lines will be delivered within half a month, with the exact date being November 15th. The estimated return time to Hong Kong is the 18th to the 19th."
"The second batch of thirty production lines will be delivered within two to three months."
"Now that the timeframe is set, we need to intensify our efforts to take over those people's factories."
"Understood, I will arrange it."
"I have finished my report."
The appliance sales manager took over.
"Pre-orders have been surging these past few days. So far, pre-orders have exceeded 8 units, and total sales have reached 1..."
7 units.
Based on the current factory production capacity, it will take us nearly 5 months to complete the delivery of an order of 8 units.
"Of course, once the new production line is back, we will be able to deliver at least half of the time ahead of schedule."
Li Jiagang nodded in satisfaction.
"GG continues its deployment."
"What about the marketing and sales departments?"
"Reporting to the Chairman, we have already sent people to the island, Singapore, Malaysia and other places to explore the market. We have contacted various distributors and are currently negotiating cooperation terms."
"That's good."
"New production lines will keep coming back, and the factory's production capacity will not be a problem at all."
"When it comes to a new product, it's all about being the first to market. Once other companies launch the same product, we'll face huge sales challenges. Therefore, we need to speed up all operations and get the product out there as quickly as possible."
"At the same time, we must keep a close eye on product patents. Delay any negotiations with businesses regarding patent licensing, but absolutely do not violate any relevant rules, understand?"
"Yes, Chairman."
"Alright, let's get down to business."
"The company has reached a cooperation agreement with Takashimaya of Japan to establish a joint venture company."
This means that the company will fully penetrate the Japanese market in the future and develop what is currently the largest market in Asia, which is a daunting task.
First: We need to send management personnel, engineers, and technicians over there.
I will discuss with General Manager Gao who to send.
Second: The cooperation terms reached between the company and Takashimaya stipulate that the controlling stake, legal representative, and chairman of the company are nominal positions held by the other party.
However, we retain actual management and operational control over the company, meaning that it will function as a branch office of ours in the future.
"Whoa!!!"
Upon hearing this, all the management members in the conference room were eager to take action.
Everyone understood that this was a good opportunity for promotion.
Once someone is transferred to Japan, it means a promotion and a fortune, going directly from a departmental manager to an independent manager.
They could even become a manager in a region.
How could this not tempt them?
Li Jiagang also sensed their thoughts, but he didn't say anything. He was actually happier to see their expressions.
This proves that they are all ambitious.
As the old saying goes, a soldier who doesn't aspire to be a general is definitely not a good soldier.
He supports healthy competition among company employees, because competition is what drives motivation and keeps the company vibrant.
However, he is absolutely opposed to cutthroat competition.
If someone harbors malicious intentions, resorting to any means to climb the ladder and scheming against others at every turn, then no matter how capable that person is, you should not hire them.
He needs a company that is dynamic and competitive, but also green and healthy.
Those who abuse their power for personal gain, intimidate others, or engage in underhanded practices will be dealt with severely.
He won't hold back.
"Quiet down, everyone."
"Third, the finance department needs to send an accountant over there as soon as possible to contact Takashimaya and tally the investments made in establishing the company and factory."
"Fourth: Anyone among you who has studied or worked in Japan and understands Japanese, please submit a resume to General Manager Gao."
"Alright, that concludes the meeting agenda. Do you have anything to add or raise?"
Li Jiagang glanced around and, seeing that no one had raised any questions, adjourned the meeting.
But after the meeting, the meeting room became even more lively, with the management team discussing the matter among themselves, like gossipy citizens on the street, debating who had a better chance of being appointed there.
On my way back to the office.
"Xiao Mei, contact President Huo and President Li to come over," Li Jiagang instructed.
"Yes, Chairman."
"Oh, right, Xiaomei, wait a minute."
"What's wrong, Chairman?"
Li Jiagang thought for a moment, then waved his hand at him to indicate that everything was alright.
This left Xiaomei completely confused.
"Jun Jie, come in with me."
"Yes, young master."
Upon entering the office, Li Jiagang kept staring at him.
The way he was being stared at made Li Junjie feel uneasy. "Young Master, what are you doing—?"
"Tell me honestly," Li Jiagang said, his eyes still fixed sharply on him, "are you and Xiaomei hiding something from me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Junjie immediately panicked.
"Young Master, how did you know?" Li Junjie was like a child who had done something wrong and had been caught by an adult.
"Hmph, I'm not blind."
During his trip to Tokyo, Li Jiagang noticed that they often exchanged glances, but he didn't confirm it at the time and didn't have time to pay attention.
Li Jiagang fully supports Li Junjie and Xiao Mei getting together.
Although Xiaomei's family background is average, she has good character, a decent education, and is a good person. She is more than a match for Li Junjie.
The reason he got involved in this matter was...
The reason is that Li Jiagang wants to confirm first whether the two of them are really interested in each other, then he will treat Xiaomei differently.
In any case, he treated Li Junjie and his brother like his own brothers. If they had that kind of relationship, Li Jiagang would definitely have mentioned Xiao Mei.
He still trusted Xiaomei quite a bit, otherwise he wouldn't have kept her by his side all this time.
Now that the Japanese are in need, and since Li Junjie has admitted to having feelings for Xiaomei, he might as well let Xiaomei go there to train and then transfer her back for a promotion later.
"Young Master, you wouldn't disagree, would you?" Li Junjie asked, his face full of panic.
He was a servant of the Li family; if Li Jiagang didn't agree, he would have a hard time succeeding.
At least his parents will listen to Li Jiagang.
"What?" Li Jiagang asked jokingly, "In your eyes, am I such an unreasonable and ungrateful person?"
"No, no, no," Li Junjie quickly waved his hand, "Young Master, you misunderstand. I was afraid you would blame me for messing around at the company and affecting your work."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiagang smiled slightly.
"Alright, if you two are truly getting along, I'll be overjoyed."
"Xiao Mei is nice, we could date her."
"However," Li Jiagang paused, "if you two confirm your relationship, then I'll mention it to Xiaomei, and have her transferred to Japan for some training. You don't have any objections to that, do you?"
"Really, young master?"
"No objection, of course no objection."
"You little rascal—"
""
"Alright, I'll make the decision. You can go out now." Li Jiagang waved his hand at him.
After Li Junjie left.
Li Jiagang's expression turned serious.
He opened the cabinet, took out a number, picked up the phone, and dialed the number.
There are some things we need to face.
As his business grows, he first failed to properly handle the aftermath of his father's death, and now he's embroiled in a feud with an underground organization. It's time for him to consolidate his clandestine power.
