Traveling through the Siheyuan with the Game Panel Chapter 312
In the evening, the three people finally returned to the hotel after wandering around London for a long time without success.
The last few people decided not to look for it themselves, but to ask marketing staff and local agents to pay more attention to find a suitable store as soon as possible and open it as soon as possible. A day late in opening will mean a day late in making money.
After the three of them returned to the hotel and rested for a while, Xin Xiaoling and Jia Jinghua, who had gone out to look for warehouses, also returned to the hotel. Seeing the two of them in high spirits, Zhang Zhonghua understood that the small warehouse he needed should be available.
"Boss, we found a good warehouse today. Although the area is not too big, it can basically meet the needs of the UK. Moreover, the transportation there is also very convenient, and it is relatively close to Cambridge."
Xin Xiaoling reported to Zhang Zhonghua that she and Jia Jinghua went out to look for a warehouse today. They looked at many warehouses, and finally felt that the warehouse they selected was better. It was not too far from downtown London and the warehouse facilities also met the requirements.
"Okay, then let's rent it for temporary use first, and then buy it later when funds are less tight."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
The warehouse can be arranged there for the time being, and if it is not enough in the future, you can continue to buy nearby. Zhang Zhonghua plans to open nearly a thousand stores in the UK, and the warehouse area cannot be too small. Sooner or later, he will need to buy more.
After this warehouse is no longer used, you can then decide based on the actual situation whether to buy this warehouse and nearby warehouses or to find a large warehouse in another location.
"How are you today? How many stores did you buy?"
Xin Xiaoling asked Zheng Juan curiously.
"We have already acquired three stores in London. These three stores will be renovated in a few days. However, we have not found suitable stores in the remaining selected store locations. It will probably take some time to find the right ones."
Zheng Juan also briefly introduced their situation to Xin Xiaoling and Jia Jinghua.
"It's good to have three stores. Business in the Financial City is relatively booming. But when our business improves, some stores will definitely be affected. When some stores cannot survive, we can win."
Jia Jinghua said with a smile.
This kind of thing is not uncommon. A restaurant that was barely operating at first could not continue to operate after a relatively popular restaurant nearby. This happened in Japan. After opening, a nearby store soon became unable to operate.
.
Everyone smiled knowingly when they heard this, hoping that the opening in London would be as successful as in Dongjin.
Foreigners in Hong Kong and Japan love restaurants very much. If they want to come to Europe, there is no possibility of failure. The only question is how successful they are.
He Jiliang walked into Zhang Zhonghua's room and was stunned for a moment when he saw so many people. Then he walked directly to Zhang Zhonghua and said to him: "Boss, we have found a lot of offices for rent in the Tower Hamlets area, which is about 50 meters away from the City of London."
Not far.
There are now some office buildings for rent or for sale, and even some three-story buildings are for sale, but the transportation is not very convenient."
Zhang Zhonghua still knows the Tower Hamlets area very well. After all, he has been there before. It has a good core CBD. The Tower Hamlets area rivals the traditional London financial center - the Financial City. In the future, it is
Tower Hamlets is full of high-rise buildings, and the three tallest buildings in the UK are all located near Tower Hamlets.
"What does the three-story building look like there?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked with great interest.
The area around Tower Hamlet probably started to develop in the 1980s. Now, if we take over a few buildings and use them for other companies, we will definitely make a profit. In the future, we can also build a building based on several small buildings to directly serve as a building.
Used by European divisions.
"Those small buildings are similar to the newspaper headquarters on Hong Kong Island. They cover an area of more than 300 square meters and are modern buildings. One million pounds for one is not very expensive. In the future, when you have more money, you can really buy a few of them."
He Jiliang said.
Money is used everywhere nowadays. Although the company can use the 1 million pounds at present, it is completely unnecessary to buy it under the current situation.
"Let's go over and rent a small building as a temporary office tomorrow. It's not suitable for us to stay in a hotel all the time."
Zhang Zhonghua ordered.
Let's rent a small building first. Money is quite tight now, so it's not too late to live there for a year or two.
Then everyone exchanged the information they got today with each other, and everyone should have a more comprehensive understanding of London.
Everyone was very happy to have the store, warehouse, and office address all figured out. The next step was to renovate the stores and recruit some staff, which was quite busy.
After everyone left at night, Zhang Zhonghua began to write down his future plans. It was still very difficult to open up a new market. Of course, the main reason was the difficulty of funding. If he had one billion pounds now, he would dare to open thousands of stores in the UK.
.
Shops and warehouses can start to be renovated. As for the office building, we will first use a small building in Tower Hamlet. Purchasing kitchen equipment is the easiest. The UK is very close to Germany and can be reached quickly. Logistics companies purchase cars.
It’s also more convenient. Cars here are cheap and don’t cost much; the newly purchased freighter is almost completed. The central kitchen on Hong Kong Island can also be produced in advance and the Global Shipping Group can help transport it. By the way, some furniture and supplies can also be transported.
kind.
British decoration is different from Hong Kong Island. There are many problems among workers. They can only pretend to work during the day and do not work overtime even if they are paid. It is easier for waiters. You can directly recruit some Chinese girls from Chinatown, but the branch still has to recruit some ghost elders.
Looking out the window at the bright Thames River illuminated by lights on both sides, Zhang Zhonghua also fell into deep thought.
He can only work in the catering industry in the UK. Finance currently does not have the funds to recruit talents, and the status of the Chinese in Europe is too embarrassing.
Without a certain degree of popularity and a high social status, it is really difficult to get along in European and American countries, and no one will look down on you at all.
After thinking alone for a while, Zhang Zhonghua checked the time, picked up the phone, and made a cross call.
"Ahua, why are you calling so late? It must be very late in the UK."
Lou Xiao'e said to Zhang Zhonghua on the other end of the phone that Lou Xiao'e was going to study in the UK, so she naturally knew the situation in the UK.
"Sister Xiao'e, I have just finished my work here. You don't need to bring too many things with you when you come to the UK. There are more things here than in Hong Kong Island."
"There's not much. How's it going in London?"
Lou Xiao'e asked.
"It's very good. I purchased three stores today and will decide on the warehouse and office location tomorrow. Things are going very smoothly."
"I just went over to check out the situation. I don't live there permanently, so there's no need to buy everything."
Lou Xiao'e said with a smile.
"Okay, just pay attention to safety on the road."
The next morning, Zhang Zhonghua made a large pot of West Lake beef soup in the kitchen. After breakfast, Zhang Zhonghua and others started walking around Cambridge.
Cambridge is the capital of Cambridgeshire in the United Kingdom and the seat of Cambridge University. As early as two thousand years ago, the Romans set up camp and garrisoned troops in this place about 90 kilometers away from London.
Cambridge means Bridge over the Cam River. There is a Cam River here that makes a large arc in the city and flows to the northeast. Many bridges were built on the river, so the city was named Cambridge. Cambridge is also called Cambridge.
, like Oxford, is a fascinating traditional university city.
Although Cambridge is as famous as Oxford and both are world-famous universities, the atmosphere here is different from Oxford. Oxford is called "a city with a university", while Cambridge is a "city with a university". Although many medieval buildings have been preserved here
Although the appearance of the entire Cambridge is bright and modern, there are also many theaters, art galleries and other facilities that are not commensurate with the scale of the city, giving this university town a strong literary and artistic atmosphere.
The University of Cambridge was founded in 1209. It was first established by a group of scholars who escaped from Oxford University to escape fights. For hundreds of years, Cambridge has been famous for its excellent education quality. It is a place where talents gather and stars shine.
Not to mention the long list of natural scientists, a number of pillars have also been cultivated in the social sciences. The philosopher Bacon, the economist Keynes, the historian Trevelyan, and the writer Thackeray have all served.
He studied at Cambridge and eventually became a great figure. Milton, Byron, Tennyson and others from the school were even more crowned and proud sons of the country of poetry.
Cambridge colleges are scattered throughout the city, and there is no complete campus in the usual sense. But it can be said that the entire city of Cambridge is its campus. Because the city center is almost surrounded by colleges, it seems to have become the living area of Cambridge. Here comes
Are they all students coming and going? Most of the shops on the street are bookstores and stationery stores, selling things used by students.
"Cambridge is so beautiful. There are Cambridge University colleges everywhere."
Zheng Juan sighed as she looked at the city that was completely different from Hong Kong Island.
The University of Cambridge is indeed the city of Cambridge, and there are colleges and students from the University of Cambridge everywhere in the city.
The Cam River is winding and winding, with willows and grass on both sides of the river. There are many exquisitely designed and beautiful bridges erected on the river, among which the Mathematics Bridge, the Gray Bridge and the Bridge of Sighs are the most famous.
Wandering on the banks of the Jian River, you can see centuries-old schools and classic buildings. Tall and exquisite school buildings, solemn churches and red-brick houses covered with ivy stand among the green trees and red flowers all over the city, green and lush.
Full of ancient meaning.
Beside the road are rows of big green trees that lift the clouds, and trees of white and purple cherry blossoms. Under the sunlight, they look full of life.
On the grass in front of various colleges and residences, purple and pink roses and goose-yellow daffodils hang on street lamp posts and on residential balconies, with flower pots in full bloom.
Zhang Zhonghua was amazed when he looked at the green city that made people linger. The green grass almost covered all the open space in this small town except the streets.
Tall school buildings, church spires and red-brick houses covered with ivy are among this green. On the edge of the Jian River, there are shades of weeping willows and green jungles, setting off the beauty of the Jian River.
With clear water, the whole of Cambridge is like a green ocean, verdant and intoxicating.
"Cambridge University's more than 800 years of history has produced countless great men, such as Isaac Newton, Kelvin, Maxwell, Bohr, Born, Dirac, Oppenheimer, Hawking, Darwin, Watson, Gram
Rick, Turing, Wiles and our hot summer Hua Luogeng and other scientific giants.
John Milton, Byron, Tennyson, Bacon, Russell, Wittgenstein and other literary and philosophical masters as well as political figures such as Cromwell and Nehru."
Jia Jinghua excitedly introduced the situation of Cambridge to Zhang Zhonghua. He had been to the UK many times. Although he didn't visit much, he still knew the main symbols of the UK very well.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Hua Luogeng also graduated from Cambridge University."
Xin Xiaoling couldn't help but admired after hearing this.
There are many great people who came out of Cambridge, but the one that interests Zhang Zhonghua the most is Turing.
The Great Master Turing actually graduated from Cambridge University. I thought he was from Oxford University. He is the most outstanding scientist in the history of computing.
"Turing? Who is this Turing?" Zheng Juan asked Zhang Zhonghua.
"Alan Matheson Turing, a British mathematician and logician, is known as the father of computer science and the father of artificial intelligence. Turing studied at Cambridge University and went to Princeton University in the United States to pursue a doctorate after graduation.
After the outbreak of World War II, he returned to Cambridge and later assisted the military in cracking Germany's famous encryption system enga, helping the Allies win World War II.
Turing made many contributions to the development of artificial intelligence. He proposed a test method for determining whether a machine is intelligent, the Turing test, and there are test competitions every year. In addition, the famous Turing machine model proposed by Turing
It laid the foundation for the way modern computers work logically.
After Turing's death, the Turing Award, a computer award established by the Association for Computing Machinery last year, aims to reward individuals who have made important contributions to the computer industry.
The Turing Award has extremely high requirements for winning, and the award process is extremely strict. Generally, only one computer scientist is awarded every year. The Turing Award is the highest international award in the field of computer science, and is known as the ‘Nobel Prize in the computer industry’.”
Zhang Zhonghua briefly introduced some basic information about Turing. Many people in East Asia have never heard of computers, so it is normal that many people do not understand it.
Later, the tour guide hired by Zhang Zhonghua and others took everyone to visit the famous attractions of Cambridge University, King's College, King's College Chapel, Queen's College, Mathematics Bridge, Cambridge University Botanical Garden, St. Mary's Cathedral, etc.
"Quietly I leave, just as quietly as I came; I wave gently as I bid farewell to the clouds in the western sky...Quietly I leave, just as quietly as I came; I wave my sleeves, not taking any of them with me
Clouds.”
Zhang Zhonghua couldn't help but recite Xu Zhimo's "Goodbye Cambridge". Xu Zhimo was not a very good person, but he wrote really good books.
"By the way, Jin Yong also graduated from Cambridge University. If you don't know Turing, you must know Jin Yong, right?"
Zhang Zhonghua said to Zheng Juan and Xin Xiaoling.
