Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

"Father, who the hell is this Mr. Li, who even admits to being a member of the Sakai Zaibatsu?" Although Liu Jingzheng is only a director of Fast Retailing at this time, his vision is not limited to this, so I am very concerned about what happens in Tokyo.Because he knows very well that the future Fast Retailing headquarters must be located in Tokyo, the largest city in Japan.

"On the bright side, he is the owner of a small company, but considering his age, he is rare, and I even want to invest in his future. But his interest seems to be in the entertainment industry. He is currently a member of Huaxia Kingdom. The best model, who is well-known in film and television and music circles. Of course, this is only on the bright side.” Compared with his son, Yanai and others have a better understanding of the dark side of politics.

"He has the support of two great directors, Zhang Mouyi and Zhang Zhongji. In addition to being the best director in China and an internationally renowned director, Zhang Mouyi also owns the seventh film company in Asia and the fifth in China - New Wave Film Co., Ltd.; and Zhang Zhongji is the best TV director under China's No. [-] TV network and the third largest TV network in the world - United Television Network. It is said that he still has shares in United Broadcasting Corporation, the parent company of United Television Network. You too I know that the main force of the Sakai Zaibatsu is in the media and entertainment industry, and they dare not offend people like Zhang Mouyi and Zhang Zhongji. Most importantly, this woman is only supporting him!"

Liu Jing and others pointed out Liang Tian's photo, "She is only the editor-in-chief of the Chinese version of "VOGUE" on the surface, but she is the eldest daughter of the Liang family in Donghai and the third heir of the Pacific Group."

"Pacific Group?" Yanai Masa said awe-inspiringly, "The world's second largest shipping group - Pacific Shipping; Asia's largest steel company - Pacific Steel; China's third largest real estate group - the Pacific Group to which Pacific Real Estate belongs Is it?" Liu Jingzheng swallowed, "Could it be possible that this Mr. Li will become the son-in-law of the Liang family?"

Liu Jingzheng was frightened by his own thoughts!Anyone who marries into the Liang family is tantamount to reaching the sky in one step, not to mention that Liang Tian herself is a woman with both talents and looks, and was selected as one of the "Ten Most Attractive Women in Asia" by "Asian People Weekly".

"Let's not speculate about the relationship between the two of them, let alone talk nonsense!" Liu Jing and others stopped Liu Jingzheng's rich associative power, "Since the Liang family is willing to stand up for him, there is no way for the Sakai Zaibatsu to admit defeat. Now The problem is that we still don't know the purpose of his stake in our Fast Retailing company. Logically speaking, our company is not a big company, so it's too early to invest in us, right?

Especially after your uncle introduced funds from three banks, our Yanai family's control over the company has been declining.Your uncle's mind is still on politics, and he only wants Fast Retailing to provide him with campaign funds.But this is not enough!You also know that the Fast Retailing Group in my mind must become one of the best clothing companies in Japan!But I have a hunch that this Mr. Li is not here to make trouble. "

Yanai and others handed a piece of information to Yanai Masa, "This is some information that I entrusted my friends in Tokyo to help investigate. This Mr. Li established a company in Japan called Suzaku International Trading Co., Ltd. through an offshore company. This company is currently crazy about investing in fashion brand clothing in Japan, and has won the exclusive agency rights of these fashion brands in China. So, my opinion is that this Mr. Li intends to enter the clothing industry. But, why did you choose Fast Retailing? This is the problem? Could it be that he has the same philosophy as us? After dinner today, try to invite him."

Hiroshima is not a big city, so when the Fast Retailing Group held a welcome dinner, the rich and landowners in the entire Hiroshima City more or less knew about it.It's just that the Yanai family killed it. This is just a dinner party within the group, outsiders are not welcome to participate, and the place where the dinner party is held is a hotel directly invested and managed by the Yani family.Li Wei and Su Li rushed to the banquet hall very low-key, but they couldn't keep a low profile after entering the banquet hall.

Although many people present knew that Li Wei's public identity was a model and a celebrity, but no one dared to underestimate him.Anyway, Li Wei is now the largest shareholder of Fast Retailing Group, and even the Yanai family is behind him.The welcome dinner was quite interesting, and all forces came to express their goodwill.The bank naturally hopes that Li Wei can stand with them, so that Fast Retailing Group can carry out reforms according to their wishes, and then go public as soon as possible.The Yanai family hoped that Li Wei could unite with them to fight against the bank's killing of chickens and eggs.After making false claims with these people, Li Wei took some time to eat some food in a secluded place.

Liu Jingzheng did not know when he appeared next to Li Wei, and said with a smile: "Excuse me, Mr. Li, I wonder if the food at our Liujing Hiroshima Hotel still satisfies you? I heard that Mr. Li has a lot of research on red wine. My father I happen to have a bottle of Merlot 1998 from Chateau Petrus. I wonder if I can invite Mr. Li to have a taste tonight? In addition to red wine, my father also specially prepared white sturgeon aristocratic caviar."

Of course Li Wei knew that this was an excuse, and he seemed to know the second wife of the Yanai family headed by Shimo Yanai and others, so he replied with a smile: "How can I miss the invitation of Mr. Yanai? Not to mention Merlot wine and white sturgeon. Caviar is a rare treasure, if you miss it, it will be a regret in your life." Hearing what Li Wei said, Liu Jingzheng naturally told Li Wei the address, and said that he would arrange someone to come after the dinner Take Li Wei and Su Li to enjoy the moonlight.

The dinner lasted for two hours, and the bank actually vaguely invited Li Wei to continue the dinner, but Li Wei declined.But Yanai Masao didn't seem to care about all of this, and no one from the long room came to win over Li Wei.With the end of the dinner, the car sent by Liu Jing and others to pick up Li Wei also arrived.An unassuming Japanese car, but once you get in it, you know it's definitely been modified.The thick doors and the roaring engine all show that this car is definitely a bulletproof car with a high enough security level.

The car drove on the somewhat deserted streets of Hiroshima, and finally came to a small manor by the sea.Under the guidance of the housekeeper, Li Wei and Su Li met Liu Jing and others, Liu Jingzheng and other core members of the second room of the Liujing family.After the maid brought the wine and food, Yanai and others asked them to leave, and asked their second daughter Yuko Yanai to pour the wine for everyone.

After drinking for three rounds, Yanai and the others suddenly said, "Mr. Li, what is your intention in investing in our Fast Retailing Group on such a large scale this time?"

Li Wei didn't expect Liu Jing and others to ask so directly, but he also replied very directly: "My idea is to invest in a promising clothing company, hoping to help this company reach a world-leading scale."

"Oh?" Yanai and the others said with some emotion, "Then what does Mr. Li think of Fast Retailing? How should it be positioned?"

"My suggestion is that Fast Retailing Group is positioned as a 'fast fashion' apparel group." Li Wei said, "What is 'fast fashion'? That means that our clothing series are released faster than traditional fashion brands! The average apparel group is probably 6 to 8 weeks to produce a series, we must shorten this cycle to 2 weeks! Yes, two weeks! You may wonder, how can we have so many styles? So we have to set up a large-scale design center in Tokyo , employing a large number of designers to design for us. At the same time, we also dispatch fashion scouts with a strong sense of fashion. On the one hand, they go to major fashion weeks to copy the latest fashion styles, and on the other hand, they go to our main markets to investigate street fashion preferences. Then Combined with local fashion preferences, modify the fashion styles of big brands. We can add, delete, mix and match existing styles, then we have enough styles!

Secondly, we must have our garment factories, which must be able to meet our global needs.Our style adopts a strategy of many styles and a small amount. There is only a small amount of goods for one style in a specialty store, which stimulates consumer consumption and implies that our brand is very popular.Also remember, we don't do full sizes, only the most mainstream sizes!let's not break the code or something

!Finally, we need to track each piece of clothing and return visits to each customer. We need to know in detail which styles are popular and which colors are popular in a certain city... so this requires specially designed software. And this software has been registered as a patent by my company.So, if Fast Retailing cannot change according to my ideas, then I can only kill it! "

After Li Wei finished speaking, Liu Jingzheng's brain seemed to be electrified.He had thought of Li Wei's thoughts before, but he didn't think as deeply as Li Wei.But Yanai Masa still couldn't help asking: "If we borrow a lot from the designs of big brands, will there be any infringement?"

In fact, compared with ZARA, the UNIQLO of later generations is still kind. You must know that many of ZARA's styles are not borrowed, but completely plagiarized.It's just that ZARA's legal department is too strong, exhausting all major brands through judicial procedures, and finally had to give up the prosecution.So in the end, only the designers scolded ZARA during interviews. Unfortunately, ZARA still went its own way, and made co-branded brands from time to time to block the mouths of some designers.

"So, we need a strong legal department." Li Wei said coldly, since others can do it, why can't I do it?

"In addition to our own legal department, we also need to cooperate with the best intellectual property lawyers in Europe and the United States! In addition, in order to quell the hostility of the designer circles, we may have appropriate cooperation with designers or some big fashion brands. This is our compensation to them, and it can also enhance our status in the fashion industry.”

The temptation of capital is still extremely strong, Yanai Masa no longer has any doubts.But Liu Jing and others said: "Fast Retailing Group's next reform will definitely hurt the muscles and bones, but my elder brother may not support you, so we have no advantage in the board of directors."

"I have a suggestion. I will form a Fast Retailing Holding Company with the Yanai family, and then control the board of directors of Fast Retailing Group through the holding company." If Li Wei and the Yanai family join forces, Fast Retailing Holding Company will occupy 65% ​​of the company's shares , the absolute controlling shareholder.

"As for how to convince your eldest brother, I think that since Mr. Yanai Masao's ambition is in the political field, why don't we satisfy him? You can tell him that as long as he transfers the voting rights of his shares to us, we can let him We will subsidize him by taking 50% more of his share income. Let him have enough money to realize his political ambitions, and we can also let go to realize our ideals in the business world. Everyone gets what they need, why not Why?"
