506, officially begins the battle to acquire Yomiuri(1/3)
Japan, Tokyo, Shibuya District, Chu Huan Villa.
Not only is Chu Huan here, but Cao Yunshang and Zhu Xiaozhao are also here.
The two first returned to Xiangjiang in Japan to spend the Chinese New Year in Xiangjiang, and then came to Tokyo with Chu Huan to continue Cao Yunshang's career.
During this period, and even in the next 20 years, it can be said that Japan led the trend in Asia, and Ginza in Tokyo was its weathervane.
Just like Causeway Bay means the same to Hong Kong.
So after Cao Yunshang acquired Printemps Department Store in France, he thought about building a new Printemps Department Store in Ginza, Tokyo.
"Yoshiaki Tsutsumi has probably approved your acquisition application, right?"
Chu Huan sat cross-legged on the warm wooden floor, with steaming tea in front of him and a glass of frosty Coke. The hot tea belonged to Cao Yunshang and Zhu Xiaozhao, and the ice Coke belonged to Chu Huan.
After setting his goal in Ginza, Tokyo, Cao Yunshang began to look for a suitable store with Zhu Xiaozhao. When he found it, he did not expect that this store actually belonged to Yoshiaki Tsutsumi.
"I've agreed, but Yoshiaki Tsutsumi still wants to take a stake, rather than simply selling the store to us!"
Cao Yunshang said helplessly.
Tokyo’s housing prices exceeded the increase in another time and space. In another time and space, Tokyo’s housing prices would not have doubled compared to when Chu Huan was planning his real estate business in Japan until 1980. However, as Chu Huan and Di
After Yiming cooperated with Haiyun Real Estate and Guo Bingxiang and others, Huayun Real Estate invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Tokyo. Now, the house prices in Tokyo have doubled.
The power of real estate speculators is evident.
But this also made Yoshiaki Tsutsumi discover the benefits of cooperating with Chu Huan, which is really making money.
So when Chu Huan's wife Cao Yunshang was preparing to build a new Spring Department Store in Ginza, Tokyo, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi immediately discovered the business opportunities. He wanted to cooperate with Cao Yunshang instead of simply selling the land to Cao Yunshang.
Chu Huan pondered for a moment and said, "If he can accept 10 shares, then he can be allowed to invest. If it is more, there is no need!"
Although Yoshiaki Tsutsumi will definitely lose in the future, it is undeniable that Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's influence in Japan will be sufficient in the next ten years, so there is nothing wrong with cooperating with him at this stage.
"But his piece of land must be worth more than this!"
Cao Yunshang preached to Chu Huan.
"We can compensate you in cash for the extra part, but 10 shares is the limit!"
Chu Huan preached firmly.
Spring Department Store is a joint venture between Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang. The two of them have no plans to go public, so Chu Huan is not worried that Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's affairs will affect the stock price of Spring Department Store in the future. Of course, he will give up 10% of his shares.
What's more, Chu Huan valued Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's current influence in Japan.
Cao Yunshang nodded and said, "Then I understand. Xiao Zhao and I will negotiate with Tsutsumi Yoshiaki on this matter."
Chu Huan nodded slightly and said, "But don't take it too seriously. If Tsutsumi Yoshiaki refuses to sell it, then find another place!"
After more than half a year of development, Chu Huan now has more cash than many people imagined. In a nutshell, he has money!
In addition, now, Chu Huan actually does not need Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's influence in Japan that much, because the efforts of Ma Jizu, Tanaka Yashui, and Hanaoka Nanao have begun to bear fruit.
Cao Yunshang and Zhu Xiaozhao nodded.
"How is the situation with Yunhai Chain?"
Chu Huan asked Zhu Xiaozhao.
Zhu Xiaozhao showed a proud smile and said, "The task of laying out 4,000 stores in Japan has been initially completed. At the same time, the logistics system and warehousing services in Japan have also been completed. From now on, we will
The expansion speed will slow down, and we only need to hand over the management of the company to the branch in Japan!"
4,000 stores are naturally far behind 7-Eleven's stores at its peak in Japan. However, it took 7-11 decades to complete 7-Eleven stores, while Yunhai chain only took
It took nearly two years to complete the expansion of 4,000 stores, which is already a very remarkable thing.
In fact, the most difficult thing about opening a store is not simply buying the store, decorating it, distributing goods, etc., but training the store staff.
Today, the entire Yunhai chain has a total of 4,500 stores in Japan and Hong Kong, which can provide the company with an annual profit of 20.7 billion Hong Kong dollars, not counting the increase in land prices.
Chu Huan said, "From now on, the development of Yunhai Chain in Japan will not only involve the expansion of convenience stores. At the same time, supermarkets and department stores can also develop simultaneously. In addition, Watsons' distilled water can also be included in Yunhai Chain.
"
At this time, Yunhai Chain Store was no longer a simple retail company.
It's a large consortium.
It no longer only owns the Yunhai chain brand.
After reform, Watsons, Watsons Distilled Water, Parknshop Supermarket in Xiangjiang, Hua Department Store, Dah Hsin Department Store, as well as Yunhai Logistics and Yunhai Warehousing are all subsidiaries of Yunhai Chain.
If Zhu Xiaozhao had not supported the management team in advance, Zhu Xiaozhao and Li Tianying would not have been able to manage such a huge consortium.
"I plan to transfer a group of people over to Xiangjiang to learn the business model of Japanese supermarkets and department stores. After these people have learned a lot, they will start to expand the department stores and supermarkets.
.”
I wish Xiaozhao can preach confidently.
It is undeniable that at this stage, Japan’s retail industry is the ceiling of the world.
Chu Huan nodded slightly and said, "No problem, but now that the company has plenty of money, it doesn't necessarily have to open stores one by one like the previous Yunhai chain. It can also try to acquire some Japanese department stores.
"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhu Xiaozhao nodded and said, "Okay, I will let the people below investigate this matter!"
Then came some detailed discussions, such as Yunhai Logistics. At this time, Yunhai Logistics in Japan only served one company in the Yunhai chain, and the same was true for Yunhai Warehousing. In the eyes of Chu Huan and Zhu Xiaozhao, this was a waste of resources.
, they should be allowed to have their own hematopoietic capabilities, so after discussion, they decided that these two companies should seek more partners.
Let them not only serve Yunhai Chain Company.
After the discussion, Chu Huan saw that it was getting dark, took a sip of the Coke on the table, stood up and said, "Okay, you two rest at home, I'm going to meet a few people!"
Cao Yunshang and Zhu Xiaozhao both understood that Chu Huan came to Tokyo this time for the Yomiuri News, so they didn't ask too many questions.
But in fact, Chu Huan did not go to meet with Kiichiro Kitaura of Nomura Securities who was responsible for this matter, but met with Kentaro Nishitani at the Palace Club.
Also present were **.
"Congratulations to both of you, you are now celebrities in Japan!"
After meeting Kentaro Nishitani and ** at the Palace Club, Chu Huan smiled and congratulated.
After nearly a year of development, Nishitani Kentaro and ** used the Palace Club as a stronghold to make extensive contacts with Japanese political and business celebrities. Now they have officially entered this circle and become part of it.
Kentaro Nishitani seemed a little excited. He would have never dared to think of such a situation more than a year ago, but now he looks at the friends he has made around him. They are either Japanese billionaires or senior political officials, and even more so among them.
Several congressmen are brothers, and now he has become a rising business star in Japan.
**The situation seems a bit more low-key.
Externally, the boss at this time was the owner of the largest pachinko shop in Tokyo. He had the support of two Liberal Democratic Party members, Zaizen Goro and Higashi Sadazou. At the same time, he had a close relationship with the leaders of several major associations in Tokyo.
It seems to have become a new force in Tokyo!
But because of his personal status, he took a low-key route.
As for the relationship between ** and Kentaro Nishitani, outsiders don't have much doubt. In the past nearly a year, the two have appeared together on the same occasion many times. Everyone in Tokyo who knows them at the same time knows that they are
Very good friends.
At the same time, on the surface, Kentaro Nishitani also has a stake in the popular Pachinko store.
"All of this was given to me by Chu Sang, and I will never forget it!"
Kentaro Nishitani stood up and respectfully addressed Chu Huan.
Chu Huan was very satisfied with Kentaro Nishitani's attitude and said with a smile, "Don't be so formal. He has been with me for a long time. He knows me. As long as he works for me seriously, he doesn't need to be so cautious."
So many false gifts.”
The ** five-person group are the people who have been with Chu Huan the longest after Lin Feng's five-person group, so Chu Huan is not wrong in saying that ** has been with him for a long time.
"Hi!"
Kentaro Nishitani bowed again.
"Now that you two have gained fame and money, the next thing to do is to officially take over the Yomiuri Shimbun affairs."
Chu Huan preached to the two of them.
It would definitely not be Chu Huan who took over the Yomiuri Shimbun matter. If it were Chu Huan, the Japanese government would not agree.
The only shortcoming of this matter is actually that Kiichiro Kitaura and Tetsuo Okumura of Nomura Securities had been working on Chu Huan’s acquisition of Yomiuri News. Now if Chu Huan acquires Yomiuri News
Leave it to Kentaro Nishitani. Based on their abilities and minds, he will definitely be able to think of a relationship between himself and them.
So how to let these two people keep this secret perfectly, for Chu Huan, is the most important part of acquiring the Yomiuri Shimbun.
Previously, Chu Huan promised to give the two of them 20 million US dollars and 10 million US dollars in remuneration. In fact, there was a reason for keeping silent.
But only generous gifts are not enough to make Chu Huan feel completely at ease with these two people.
So some things still need to be done.
Kentaro Nishitani's expression became more and more excited. As a Japanese, he naturally knew what the Yomiuri Shimbun meant in Japan. Although this was a company with a market value that did not appear to be that high, its influence was very huge.
If you can become the apparent controller of the Yomiuri Shimbun, your status in Japan will immediately improve, and you can even become someone like Shouri Matsutaro in the future, with a very high status in Japan's political and business circles.
