After staying in Chou Country for a period of time, Zhang Zhonghua, who couldn't take any time off, came to Dongjin, Japan. Of course, Zhang Zhonghua was accompanied by dozens of Chinese and Western bodyguards. They were very powerful and domineering, and the rehearsal was full of people.
Zhang Zhonghua is sitting in the conference room of Yuhuang Group's headquarters in Marunouchi, Japan, looking at the documents of CFC Restaurant's branches in various places in Japan.
Today, there are 800 branches in Tojin, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, Nagoya, Yokohama, Fukuoka and other places, and an average of 100 stores are opened every month. Branches have also been established in Hiroshima, Kawasaki and Sapporo in Japan.
, we have also started to purchase stores in various places, and we will soon be able to achieve the plan formulated by the Japanese branch to fully occupy the Japanese market.
There are 800 branches in Japan, and the daily turnover of some stores can reach 3,000 US dollars. Although it will lower the average profit of the store on average, the average profit of the entire Japanese store is about 2,200 US dollars.
This calculation adds up to a profit of US$2 million per day in the Japanese region alone, which is close to US$600 million a year, far exceeding Zhang Zhonghua's original estimate.
As for the money owed by CFC to Sumitomo Bank, it is even more trivial. I am not short of money now, and Sumitomo Bank is not in a hurry for CFC to repay the money.
At present, the account of CFC Catering Company in Japan is as high as 50 million US dollars, which is enough for subsequent expansion. The CFC branch in Japan will soon begin to enter the era of pure profit.
The profit of Yuhuang Electric has reached 60 million US dollars in the past few months. Of course, if things like fans and humidifiers are not damaged by external forces, they will still be used for ten or eight years without any problem. They have gradually entered a period of underestimation.
However, microwave ovens, induction cookers, refrigerators and other electrical appliances have also become rising stars, and new washing machines are about to go on sale. There will also be a large amount of cash flow flowing into the electrical appliance sector.
Everyone in the conference room looked at Zhang Zhonghua's thoughtful expression, and they all guessed that the boss was probably worried about what to do if he couldn't spend too much money.
Zhang Zhonghua looked at the senior executives of the group, Hu Shirley, Gong Qigao, Chen Yingbin and other senior executives of the Japanese branch, and felt that your company is really full of talents.
"Everyone, I plan to enter the supermarket field. At present, Japan's supermarket industry has not yet formed a giant company. It is the best time for us to enter. Moreover, if the US dollars in hand are not spent, they will depreciate every day."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
At present, Into Yokado has not yet become the overlord of Japan, and is only well-known in Tojin and Kyoto areas. I still have a great chance to catch up with and surpass him, not to mention that 711 has not yet entered the Japanese market.
"Boss, we want to set up a supermarket group. Will it be a comprehensive supermarket or a small supermarket?"
Shirley Hu asked.
"Well... we will start with comprehensive supermarkets at first. We can directly acquire supermarkets from various places and then merge and reorganize them. We can arrange to start low-key acquisitions so as not to alert others early."
】
Zhang Zhonghua said.
The supermarket industry controls extremely huge cash flows. No matter how difficult the economy of various countries is in the future, the supermarket industry will not be greatly affected. In the future, 711 will be the world's retail giant.
The supermarket project will start in Japan first, and then move to Southeast Asia. There will be almost dozens of companies under the supermarket giant group.
"No problem, you can spend money very quickly. Boss, the last thing you need now is money. Our marketing team is not small now."
Hu Xueli made fun of her boss.
"No problem, as long as we have money, we can do anything. We will continue to recruit new talents to form a retail company, which can expand the scale of Tianzhou Logistics Company, and our own transportation channels can spread all over the world."
Gong Qigao pushed up his glasses and said.
"I will take care of the finances and recruit new talents. Boss, how much should we invest upfront?"
The Japanese person in charge of the Finance Department asked.
"We will start with a bottom line of US$300 million, and then if possible, we can get a mortgage loan from a bank, just as we have always done."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
He is not short of money now but wants to invest all the money as soon as possible. However, Wal-Mart and Carrefour do not necessarily have 300 million US dollars in total, so Zhang Zhonghua has not invested too much money at once, and he has to spend it in other places.
money.
As long as we can monopolize the Asian supermarket industry, we will undoubtedly be number one in the world. In the future, there will be two supermarkets, Yanxia and India, in Asia. Just relying on these two markets, we can easily defeat other supermarket giants in the world, even if they are
When Wal-Mart enters the Asian market, it has to kneel down and sing about conquest, and then eat some scraps.
Of course, the quickest way for me to quickly occupy the Japanese market is to acquire Yin Teng Yangkado, but after all, Yin Teng Yangkado will definitely not sell the company that has been in business for decades.
Besides, the profit in the retail industry is now at least 50%, which cannot be compared with the 30% profit in the future. Otherwise, Wal-Mart, which is an asset-heavy operation, would not expand so fast. The boss of Yin Teng Yokado is not a fool.
, will not be sold casually.
Everyone in the conference room was shocked by the US$300 million. The boss was really rich. With this kind of money, he could open at least 40 large supermarkets in Tojin and Kyoto, and basically complete the full coverage of the two cities.
.
The boss has a huge sum of 1.5 billion US dollars in hand. Except for the core industries owned by a few giants in Japan, they cannot touch it because they will not sell it no matter how much money they have. This money can almost buy any company in Japan.
"Boss, what's the name of the supermarket we open? Isn't it also called Yuhuang Supermarket?"
Hu Shirley asked Zhang Zhonghua with a smile.
"Forget it about Yuhuang Supermarket. This name really doesn't match the supermarket. Why not call it Carrefour? This festive name is more in line with our Oriental aesthetics."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
French crrefour enters Asia and gives it a new name. I used the name Carrefour.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It has only been more than 20 years since the end of World War II, and all the small giants are accumulating strength and development, and this is a good opportunity for their own big development.
"President, this name is great, everyone must like it very much."
Watanabe Ichino boasted that when he heard the name Carrefour, he immediately fell in love with it and praised it. Otherwise, the whole of Asia is within the scope of the hot summer cultural circle, and even the hobby of names is the same.
"The group's supermarket business will have many branches, and we will also have our own products in supermarkets in the future.
Our Carrefour supermarket adopts the advanced shelf shopping method of the U.S. supermarket. The supermarket contains various commodities. As long as you have everything you need at home, you have to build your own food factory. Currently, we mainly focus on large comprehensive supermarkets, and we will enter later.
Small convenience store model, do you know about small convenience stores?”
Zhang Zhonghua said.
"Is it a quick store like Chouguo 711?"
Yes, he even knew about the legendary nightclub 711. Zhang Zhonghua glanced at the speaker to show encouragement.
"Yes, it is a small convenience store like 711, a small store of 70 to 100 square meters. It mainly sells fast-moving consumer goods and some simple catering. It has a small investment and quick profits."
After the meeting, Zhang Zhonghua began to think about his own supermarket planning, including daily necessities, kitchen, vegetables, cooked food, daily chemicals, clothing, etc., and the types of products should also be selected.
Carrefour Supermarket does not need to be in place in one step, it can just slowly lead and beat its peers. One step ahead is advanced, and ten steps ahead is crazy.
The marketing department employees of CFC Catering Company once again went out in large numbers and began to inspect the market in Dongjin. In fact, the situation in Dongjin was already familiar to them. The employees only needed to find suitable stores in large shopping malls or supermarkets suitable for acquisition.
My president is really awesome. He has entered catering, electrical appliances, and retail. I don’t know when he will enter the financial or real estate fields. Countless Japanese employees under CFC think so.
If Zhang Zhonghua knew the thoughts of Japanese employees, he would definitely be extremely depressed. Nowadays, everyone is focusing on development. The prime time is June or Seven. Everyone is accumulating capital to prepare for future international expansion.
I can't get into Japan's real estate industry now, and there aren't many good opportunities in finance right now. I won't be crazy enough to invest in the stock market to help others develop.
…
While CFC employees were inspecting the market in Japan, Zhang Zhonghua came to Yawata Steel Co., Ltd. in Fukuoka, Japan. This Yawata Steel Co., Ltd. was once a Japanese steel giant.
Yawata Steel started building a factory in Yawata Village, Fukuoka Prefecture in 1897.
Production started in 1901, and the first blast furnace of the official Yawat Steel Works was built. In July 1904, the renovated No. 1 blast furnace was successfully re-ignited.
(the imperialist war between Russia and Russia) provided a large amount of military supplies, and also laid a solid foundation for the development of the entire Japanese military industry and heavy industry. The Yawata Steel Plant was also the largest government-run steel plant in Japan before World War II, providing supplies for World War II.
A large amount of military supplies.
Yawata Steel can be said to be the birthplace of the Japanese steel industry. In February 1934, it was established by the government-run Yawata Steel and the private Ranzai Steel, Kamaishi Mine, Fuji Steel, Toyo Steel, Mitsubishi Steel, and Kyushu Steel.
It was formed by merging 6 companies.
After World War II, Japan's Yawata Steel, which was a defeated country, was forcibly split up by Japan, and became Yawata Steel, Fuji Steel, two steel companies, Nippon Steel Shipping Co., Ltd. and Harima Refractory Brick Co., Ltd.
Speaking of Yawat Steel Co., Ltd., many people may have never heard of it, but many people must have heard of Nippon Steel, which has been the world's number one. Yawat Steel Co., Ltd. is the predecessor of Nippon Steel.
In the 21st century, Nippon Steel is one of the most competitive steel companies in the international market. It can be called a banner in the steel industry in terms of its R&D capabilities, management level, product quality and technical content.
Nippon Steel was formerly known as Yawata Steel Works. In March 1970, Yawata and Fuji merged to form New Japan Steel Company, referred to as Nippon Steel, which would become one of the largest steel companies in the world in the future.
Zhang Zhonghua looked at the Yawat Steel Plant in front of him. His trip to Japan this time was not only to develop supermarket business, but also to acquire Yawat Steel. It was also one of Zhang Zhonghua's goals. Of course, it was very difficult to acquire Yawat Steel.
Global oil has been almost divided up by U.S. giants at the beginning of the century. Now there are still opportunities to enter the heavy industry and steel industry. Not only do we need to acquire steel companies, but we also need to acquire more mineral resources.
Steel is the mother of industry. Without powerful steel, let alone aerospace and precision instrument processing, I am afraid that even the steel used in automobiles cannot be made.
There are many steel giants in Japan, but unfortunately most of them are companies under the Japanese consortium. Only Nippon Steel's split-off steel company still has a chance.
"President, this is Yawata Iron Works. Now the steel companies in Japan can also be ranked among the top ten."
The senior executives of the Japanese branch who brought Zhang Zhonghua to Yawata Steel introduced him.
Zhang Zhonghua reported his name and was soon invited into the office of the president of Yawata Steel. The name "Zhang Zhonghua" is still very useful today.
"Welcome Zhang Sanghe to Yawata Steel Co., Ltd."
Inayama Yoshihiro said enthusiastically.
Nowadays, Mr. Zhang Zhonghua is a very popular figure all over the world. He holds a huge amount of more than one billion US dollars in cash. It is really brilliant to visit his Yawata Steel, but he is a little confused about Zhang Zhonghua's purpose.
"Hello, Mr. Yoshihiro Inayama, I have learned a lot about the history of your company. It is a great steel company."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
tlgbd, the things that Yawata Steel has done are absolutely too numerous to describe. I am here to take revenge.
From 1908 to 1915 in the Republic of China, Japan transported 60,000 to 70,000 tons of iron sand from the Daye Iron Mine in Hubei every year.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! During the Manchukuo period, the Japanese army also plundered a large amount of high-quality coal from Fushun, Liaoning, and supplied it to the Yawat Steel Plant.
From 1905 to 1945, for 40 years, the Japanese invaders stole nearly 200 million tons of high-quality coal from Fushun and made huge profits of 2.628 billion yen.
After some polite remarks, Yoshihiro Inayama asked:
"I wonder if Zhang Sang needs help, we at Yawat Steel are happy to help."
"I want to acquire Yawata Steel. I wonder if Yoshihiro Inayama is interested in selling it. Competition among steel companies in Japan is also increasing day by day. Without strong strength, it is difficult to develop and grow. It just so happens that I have a little money in my hand now."
Zhang Zhonghua said straight to the point.
Hearing this, Yoshihiro Inayama felt a little tight in his chest. Yahata Steel was bought by his family at a great cost, and there are many shareholders in this steel plant. The current steel market is also good. I have lost my mind and sold the company.
?
"I'm sorry Zhang Sang, I won't sell Yawat Steel."
Inayama Yoshihiro rejected Zhang Zhonghua without hesitation.
"$600 million."
Zhang Zhonghua said with an offer popping out of his mouth.
"Sorry Zhang Zhonghua-kun, Yawat Steel will not sell it."
Our Yawata Steel is currently worth approximately US$550 million, and we will not sell it even if we pay a premium of US$50 million.
"$650 million, if that doesn't work, I will buy Fuji Steel."
Zhang Zhonghua said. I paid a premium of US$100 million, an increase of more than 18%. Currently, there are Japanese steel companies everywhere, many of which are not much worse than Yawata Steel. If it doesn't work, just buy another one.
"Zhang Sang...this..."
Now it's Inayama Yoshihiro's turn and he doesn't know how to answer. This is his family business. Your US$1.5 billion has been wasted. You have to buy my Yawata Steel.
"Well, if you can acquire Fuji Steel in Fukuoka for US$450 million, you will still be the president after the merger of the two companies."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
I have seen this young version of the president on the Internet. After all, the construction of the Baosteel plant is a project of Nippon Steel, and a big shot received by Yoshihiro Inayama.
Wouldn't the merger of the two steel companies reach 1 billion US dollars? It is almost the first in Japan. In the future, it can continue to acquire small steel companies. Inayama Yoshihiro's heart is beating violently. His family owns more than 40% of Yawata Steel.
The shares were worth almost US$250 million after changing hands.
"I wonder what if I buy shares in a new company?"
Yoshihiro Inayama asked.
What I studied is metallurgy, and I don’t want to leave this industry. I don’t have the ability to acquire Fuji Steel, but the person in front of me has more than 1.5 billion US dollars in capital. Zhang Zhonghua doesn’t understand this industry, so he can still continue to be a director.
Is it long?
"I wonder how many shares Yoshikan Inayama owns in this steel plant, and how many shares he plans to invest in?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked. As long as there is some negotiation, it will be done. Brother, as long as there is a controlling stake in a heavy industry steel company, it will be fine.
