Chapter 1628 Nordic Style
Originally, he planned to leave Sweden and go straight to Japan, but because of a phone call, Bao Zixuan went directly to Denmark, another country in Northern Europe. Because Lego CEO, KK Christison personally called him and invited him to come to Lego headquarters to discuss matters. Of course, the richest man Bao knew what the other party meant. It seemed that this guy finally couldn't stand it anymore.
Since Heiyun Group obtained the absolute license for LEGO in America and Asia in 1978, it has made a lot of money. Although 10% of sales must be given to the Danish Lego headquarters. However, children's toys are low-cost and high-profit.
Although Heiyun Toy Company is inconspicuous, it itself has little technical content. But the profit is very high, even higher than the profit from selling airplanes. It is estimated that within Black Cloud, that is, game companies and software companies can compete with it.
At the same time, the Danish LEGO headquarters is also benefiting. Black Cloud has been promoted so vigorously around the world that many Lego competitions have even been held for it. Of course, European children will not lag behind, making the sales of Lego bricks increase very fast, even beyond imagination.
If you have money in your pocket and don't panic, you may even have some unrealistic ideas. Since his father's death, KK-Christian has officially taken charge of the company. Although he was mainly responsible for the management before, there is still a Supreme Emperor above him; many things require application. Now you don’t have to worry so much. You can make whatever decision you want.
The third generation of rich people who were born with golden keys may have more idealistic things. Seeing that Lego sales are so popular in the American and Asian markets, although the head office can also get 10% profit. Of course, Heiyun Group's business reputation is still good. It pays on time every month and has never been in arrears.
But in order to gain a good impression in front of this boss, the people below will naturally come up with some ideas that are not in compliance with business rules. For example, take back the operating rights of Lego, and then the headquarters can directly develop the Asian and American markets.
Moreover, this guy likes to listen to flattery, which makes the company a mess. As everyone knows about these things, Bao Zixuan knows that there are still several staff deployed by the Black Cloud Intelligence Department at the Lego headquarters; but there are some things that he cannot change. Lego is not a listed company. If the holders do not sell, there is nothing anyone can do. What's more, the other party itself is not short of money. No matter how much money the Heiyun Group has, it can't do anything.
Moreover, Denmark is also a strange country. The welfare benefits are very good; employees are relatively good at enjoying life, and are not willing to do more as long as their personal interests are not involved.
There are almost no poor people in Denmark. The country is a relatively wealthy country. There is basically no gap between rich and poor in the country. Children are free from kindergarten to university graduation. After graduating from school and before finding a job, the state provides a monthly subsidy of 1,000 euros for living expenses until employment. The fairy tale world of Denmark, such as Lego toys, Aibu shoes, Pandora jewelry, blue filling cookies, Carlsberg beer, etc., is constantly exported to other countries.
Medical expenses are also free, and there are 32 days of paid vacation per year.
Denmark is rated as one of the "happiest countries in the world", with results exceeding standards in all indicators. Why is everyone talking about the happiness index? This may be difficult for most of us to achieve now. Let’s take a look at the Danish people. The Danes work less than 40 hours a week, 5 days a week, and go to work at 8 a.m. , get off work at 4 p.m., with lunch and tea time in between. Danes don't like to work overtime, even if they are faced with high overtime pay. They would rather go home and spend time with their families than work overtime.
In a country like this, it is simply impossible for employees to rebel. Only when you are oppressed will you rebel. Otherwise, whoever has nothing to do will panic and cause trouble for themselves.
In fact, Bao Zixuan is quite envious of several Nordic countries. They are not big themselves, but their economic strength and happiness index are among the best in the world. Fucaira can follow suit, but I can't say anything about it; universal free medical care and child subsidies can still be achieved. As for working hours and not arranging overtime, it’s not the time yet.
All the infrastructure construction in the Nordic countries has been completed, but there is nothing in Fucaira. Especially the newly occupied territory, although it is located in the strategic route of the Persian Gulf, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as clear and pure. There is a long way to go, and we still need to keep working hard.
In fact, Mr. Bao is also worried about the official attitude of Denmark. Because there was news from inside, someone gave KK-Christison advice; if Bao Zixuan did not agree to return the authorization to Lego headquarters, then legal action would be taken.
Since the contract was originally signed in Denmark, it is entirely possible to request the court to rule that the contract is invalid. Even if it is effective, a certain amount of funds can be used as compensation. Although it doesn't make sense, Christian is Danish after all and I believe the court will give him special care; it's just that the matter is more troublesome!
First of all, the Heiyun Group is too powerful. Even though Lego has accumulated some wealth, it is nothing compared to the Heiyun Group. It can be said that there is no comparability between the two.
Secondly, Bao Zixuan's personal influence is too great, so rescinding the contract is a commercial breach of contract. If you bully an honest person, then it's not a big problem. But what we have to deal with now is the world's richest man, the richest and most famous man on the planet; the Danish government also needs to consider the impact.
If a country loses its credibility, it will be difficult to move forward internationally in the future. Danish officials do not allow this kind of thing to happen. Only a fool is willing to do this to offend Bao Zixuan for the Lego company and thereby affect the image of the entire country.
But everything depends on human effort. If you have a glimmer of hope, you have to work a hundred times harder. After withdrawing the authorization, the company's profits can at least double. No one can remain indifferent to such a huge temptation.
Although KK-Christison is very conceited, he also knows what kind of talent Bao Zixuan is. Therefore, it is better to go to the airport to greet you in person. After all, you still need to ask for help, and you must do enough superficial work.
Seeing the private plane landing at Billund Airport, KK Christison was filled with emotions. At the same time, he also had a firm idea in his heart that he also wanted to buy a private jet. And the name has already been thought of, just call it Lego. At the same time, the decoration of the entire aircraft must also have enough Lego elements.
Seeing Bao Zixuan walking down, KK Christison hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Bao, I didn't expect that it would be ten years ago. In recent years, you have given the world too many surprises. The development speed of Heiyun Group , which makes the whole world feel incredible.”
The last time the two met was in 1978. I didn't expect that ten years would pass by like this. It can be said that these ten years have been the golden period for the development and growth of Heiyun Group. It may be more appropriate to describe it as making progress every day.
Of course, in the process of Heiyun's development and growth, we must also thank LEGO. After all, Lego provided a lot of profits for Heiyun's early development.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Mr. Christison is joking, our two families have made great progress. Last time I came here, I felt that the scale of the factory was not so big, and now I find that the town of Billund has almost been bought by you."
You must spend money to make money, and because sales in the European market have been steadily increasing, the toys produced by Lego headquarters are also in short supply. In order to meet customer needs, of course the factory scale must be expanded. It's just that compared to Heiyun Group, Lego seems to be developing very fast; but in fact it is still focusing on building blocks and has not developed other businesses for so many years.
Perhaps it has something to do with the personality of the Danes themselves. Focusing on one industry is the life creed of many Nordic people.
KK Christison said with emotion: "Mr. Bao is joking, Lego just bought more land and built a few factories. How can it be compared to you, who conquers cities and territories around the world and stirs up troubles. The most important thing is that every industry They are all so successful, unlike the Christisons, who only work on some children's toys."
If you don't know in advance, you may feel that it's nothing and the other person is complimenting you. But now that we understand that the old boy wants to withdraw the authorization, we can naturally understand what it means.
Lego is just a kid's toy, and that's all our family does. Mr. Bao is a person who does big things and has achieved great success in many industries; whether or not the LEGO America and Asia licenses are returned, this is also a situation that everyone is happy with.
KK Christison’s idea is very simple. As long as he can withdraw the Lego license from Asia and America, it doesn’t matter if he says soft words to Bao Zixuan. Wherever the opponent's strength lies, it is best to resolve it peacefully; unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not fall out with Bao Zixuan.
