Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

Finally, there was a knock on the door, and Zhou Zhenming walked into the room under the guidance of the staff. The two had met at a charity dinner before, and they were no strangers to each other.

"Mr. Li, I didn't expect you to be in Beijing as well." Zhou Zhenming first extended his hand to Li Zihong.

After a few pleasantries, Li Zihong said, "Come, let me introduce you."

"Mr. Li, no need for introduction."

Zhou Zhenming smiled and turned to Zhou Qi, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, we meet again. Do you still remember me?"

"Mr. Jay, you're joking. How could I forget the last time you helped me clear my name?" Zhou Qi responded with a smile, and the two shook hands.

Afterwards, everyone sat down and began the conversation.

While sipping a pot of fine tea, it is rare to get straight to the point in such occasions.

The conversation always starts from the side and slowly moves towards the core.

Zhou Qi continued the topic, "Mr. Jay, Zhou Jinsheng's choice to enter the mainland market fully demonstrates his confidence in the market here. I believe that with the arrival of Zhou Jinsheng, the mainland jewelry market will become more colorful."

"As a mainlander, I welcome Jay Chou on behalf of everyone," Zhou Qi added.

Zhou Zhenming smiled and responded: "Thank you for your welcome. We are indeed optimistic about the development prospects of the mainland and hope that everything goes well."

"But from the tone of your words, it seems a bit of a challenge?" Zhou Qi asked.

“We haven’t encountered any particular problems so far.”

Zhou Zhenming replied: "However, as a foreign brand, adapting to the market is a process that must be experienced.

Moreover, there are many excellent jewelry brands in the mainland, which undoubtedly increases the uncertainty of market competition.”

Zhou Qi nodded and smiled, "As far as I know, Lao Fengxiang is one of the most competitive brands in the mainland. Is Jay Chou worried about the competition with them?"

This is an open secret, and Zhou Zhenming has no intention of hiding it. He nodded slightly: "Market competition is inevitable."

“But if that’s all your concern is, then maybe you don’t need to worry too much.”

Zhou Qi went on to say: "What we really need to focus on is not the mainland market or Lao Fengxiang, but the port city, otherwise it is easy for a fire to break out in the backyard."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhenming frowned slightly.

"Hong Kong is my foundation. Although the market is close to saturation, we are considering expanding to other areas. What do you mean by 'fire in the backyard'?"

Looking at Zhou Qi, Zhou Zhenming hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Zhou, do you have any connection with Lao Fengxiang?"

Zhou Qi smiled and admitted: "I am one of the shareholders of Lao Fengxiang, holding 15% of the shares. When I learned that Jay Chou was interested in entering the mainland market, I also welcomed it on behalf of Lao Fengxiang."

"Welcome?" Zhou Zhenming thought to himself. He was surprised that the potential competitor could be so friendly.

He glanced at Li Zihong, then turned his gaze back to Zhou Qi, his tone becoming cautious:

"As far as I know, Lao Fengxiang has always been a family business with few external shareholders involved. I am very surprised that you can become its shareholder."

"This meeting must be more than just a simple exchange, right?"

Zhou Zhenming said bluntly: "If you have any ideas, just tell me directly."

"Although Mr. Li and I don't have much business interaction, I respect him very much. Regardless of the purpose of this meeting, I hope it will end happily and will not affect our relationship."

Zhou Zhenming's words revealed a subtle warning, trying to avoid damaging the good relationship with the Li family because of Zhou Qi.

I am sitting here out of respect for Mr. Li, but business is business after all.

It is simply wishful thinking to want to use the Li family to force others to withdraw from the mainland market.

Zhou Qi smiled and said, “Of course, as I just said, Lao Fengxiang will not be your opponent.

If Jay Chou is willing, we can become Zhou Jinsheng's partner. Not only will it not restrict your development in the mainland, but it will help to a certain extent. "

Zhou Zhenming frowned, and became more and more confused the more he listened. "Mr. Zhou, I don't quite understand what you mean." He said.

Zhou Qi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, you are Mr. Li's friend, so you are also my friend. Isn't it normal for friends to help each other?"

"The jewelry market in the mainland is like a huge cake, which cannot be eaten up by Lao Fengxiang and local brands alone.

Why not develop this market together with an open attitude?

I believe that Zhou Jinsheng’s joining will stimulate the vitality of the market, increase customers’ interest in jewelry, and thus improve overall purchasing power.”

"So helping Zhou Jinsheng is actually helping ourselves. Improving Zhou Jinsheng's image is improving the image of the entire jewelry industry."

It's unbelievable! This is the first time I've heard such a statement in all my years of doing business.

According to Zhou Qi, the series of publicity and activities that Zhou Jinsheng is about to carry out are all for the entire jewelry industry?

Zhou Zhenming was completely confused. After coming to his senses, he followed Zhou Qi's words and asked, "Then I want to ask Mr. Zhou, how do you plan to help us enter the mainland market?"

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "I have a Reno Entertainment Company in the mainland. If you don't mind, I can be responsible for the mainland's advertising and brand endorsements.

In addition, in terms of real estate, I can provide intermediary services to help you quickly find suitable stores and speed up expansion.

The jewelry industry is different from other industries in that the production of finished products requires raw material support.

Lao Fengxiang and other jewelry brands can provide some raw materials to Zhou Jinsheng at cost price, and we can also cooperate with Zhou Jinsheng on the top-quality raw stones we have, which is very helpful for brand promotion. "

"In short, avoid price wars and achieve win-win cooperation."

Zhou Zhenming was even more confused after hearing this. Is there such a thing as a free lunch?

Definitely not. Business is all about profit.

"Mr. Zhou, what you said is indeed tempting, but I want to know, what are your conditions?" Zhou Zhenming asked.

"Mr. Jay, you may not believe this, but I am not only helping you by doing this, I am also helping myself."

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "I also hold shares in Zhou Jinsheng."

Shares? Hearing this, Zhou Zhenming was stunned and his face became heavy: "Mr. Zhou, what does this mean?"

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "I now hold 39% of Zhou Jinsheng's shares."

What? Zhou Zhenming's pupils suddenly contracted: "This is impossible!"

As chairman, he has a clear idea of ​​the company's equity distribution. 39%?

This meant buying out the shares held by the board members. If so, how could he not know?

"Nothing is impossible."

Zhou Qi stood up, took out a stack of documents and handed them to Zhou Zhenming, who took them hastily and began to read them carefully.

As he flipped through the pages of documents, his expression became increasingly gloomy, and his cold gaze seemed to freeze the air.

Incredibly, the company's shares were quietly transferred without anyone noticing.

With a bang, Zhou Zhenming slammed a stack of agreements on the table, stood up abruptly, and looked directly at Zhou Qi with anger in his eyes: "What on earth do you want to do?"
