"Boss, when will our Carrefour supermarket enter the Southeast Asian market?"
Chen Yingbin, director of the group purchasing department, asked Zhang Zhonghua.
"As for Southeast Asia, let's postpone it first. Let alone other regions, even Hong Kong Island has few suitable for opening super malls. If you want to open one, it will require major renovation and construction, and the market is not mature. Let's wait another two years.
.”
At present, various small shops are everywhere on Hong Kong Island. The store area of each commercial building is relatively small. If you want to build a large supermarket, you must demolish the old building and rebuild it. Demolition alone is a huge pit and will involve a lot of energy.
It will also cause many small shops to close down, which will inevitably cause a lot of trouble. Even if you open a large supermarket, you still have to cooperate with the big bosses.
Eating alone on Hong Kong Island will definitely be ostracized by the big bosses. Although I have hoarded a lot of land, I still need to build a good relationship with all the big bosses and unite to fight against the British consortium in the future.
"By the way, how much do we owe Lou's Furniture now?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked curiously, he knew that the furniture used by CFC, whether in the UK or Japan, was provided by Lou Zhenhua's Lou Furniture, and Zhang Zhonghua never paid the bill.
"There are not many on Hong Kong Island, but the fees in Japan and the UK are relatively high. We now owe China and America as much as US$45 million."
The boss, Uncle Lou, was really generous. He provided so much furniture and decoration services to the Jade Emperor Group without asking for a penny.
"Let's transfer the money we owe Mr. Lou for his furniture first. My brothers are still settling the accounts, so we can't affect their development."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a slight embarrassment that he had promised to deliver the goods first and pay later, but he did not expect to owe so much money gradually.
"No problem, I'll arrange the transfer later. By the way, boss, our Jade Emperor Bank will open the day after tomorrow. Do we need to invite anyone over?"
Xin Xiaoling asked.
"Well, we invite everyone we have cooperated with, such as Xie Sheng from the CP Group, the charter king of the Global Group, and Sandus, the chief executive of HSBC.
By the way, some of our partners and the bosses who got up early should also be invited over.
Boss Wang of the kitchenware store, Boss Liu of the printing company, and by the way, Sister Liu who recruited employees for us in the early days, they provided a lot of help to our early development, we cannot forget them."
Zhang Zhonghua thought for a moment and said with emotion.
The senior executives also understood what the boss meant, and repaid the favor with ease. Although it was a transaction, it also provided a lot of help for the early development of the group. Maybe the Jade Emperor Bank will provide loans to these companies in the future.
Serve,.
As a subordinate, it is really a blessing to be able to follow a boss who is nostalgic. In the future, even if a better talent takes his place, there will be nothing to say, but even if he is replaced, the boss will arrange a suitable position.
"Understood, our senior executives at CP Group, Universal Group and HSBC will personally send invitation letters, and I will also arrange for people familiar with the other bosses to send invitation letters."
Xin Xiaoling said after writing down Zhang Zhonghua's arrangements.
"When Jade Emperor Bank opens, it will leave Hong Kong Island. The group has a financial company, and our Jade Emperor Group has barely taken shape, but it cannot be too high-profile."
Zhang Zhonghua ordered.
"What about the banquet the day after tomorrow? How to arrange it?"
Yuan Youbin, director of the group's logistics department asked.
"This time I will cook and entertain a few guests in the staff restaurant. It is time for us to thank these people."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
Everyone laughed. They had all tasted their boss's cooking. It was no exaggeration to say that the so-called famous chefs in Hong Kong were nothing in front of their boss.
However, since the group expanded its overseas business, they haven't tasted the boss's craftsmanship for a long time. They can finally taste the boss's craftsmanship again. They really miss it.
And it's different from before. Now the boss is the richest man in Yanxia, and the richest man in Yanxia cooks the food himself. This is all bragging rights.
"By the way, boss. Now that the overseas business is on track, when will the overseas company employees be scheduled to come back?"
Yuan Youbin said.
"Well, it's time to come back. Hong Kong Island, as the headquarters of the group, cannot always be half-dead. The employees who are going out this time have a few days off. The staff of Jade Emperor Security and Logistics Company arranged for everyone to have a few days and let everyone have a good time.
, those who don’t want to come back can still stay and work overseas.”
These employees are the heroes who have opened up new territories. CFC has been able to develop so fast in Japan and the UK, and these employees are indispensable.
Zhang Zhonghua thinks there must be some people who don't want to come back. For example, they have a partner overseas, or they are unwilling to part with the high salary. These people can also stay overseas, and Zhang Zhonghua does not force them to come back.
There are now more than 600 branches opened in the UK, and the market is basically saturated. The subsequent development only needs to follow the development of various parts of the UK and continue to open new stores according to demand.
"By the way, how is the computer training for our group's employees going?"
Zhang Zhonghua suddenly shut up and asked.
If you want to realize a modern office, you must rely on computers. Although the current computer functions are very low, they are still much better than manual work. Most of all, the possibility of errors in other data is relatively small.
"There is no problem anymore. Our finance department is basically proficient in it. With the use of computers, the work efficiency of the finance department has improved a lot.
The employees of Jade Emperor Bank are currently learning Wubi typing, and they still need training for a period of time. Before the employee training is completed, the finance department will send someone to sit in, and there will be no problems."
Xin Xiaoling said with a smile that now she really finds that the computer is a good thing. Everything can be seen clearly at a glance. At most, it can be verified manually.
"By the way, boss, it would be great if you could develop software specifically for finance."
Xin Xiaoling said to Zhang Zhonghua with a smile.
"It's not difficult. I have already developed a banking system. With a little modification, I can apply it to finance again. However, I can only apply some simple functions. At present, the storage space of computers is limited, and it is impossible to develop too many functions.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Zhonghua thought for a moment and said.
"That's great. I'm waiting for your good news, boss. But how does the bank's system work? If the cost of using a bank card is too high, the bank simply can't afford it."
Xin Xiaoling asked.
"For the time being, it is mainly based on ID cards. Deposit and withdrawal information will be recorded on the server of the head office, and the data will be synchronized on the server three times a day.
This is also safer. Even if an employee's passbook is lost, there will be a backup in our database."
"But the banks in Tin Shui Wai don't need you to synchronize every day. They only need to synchronize data once a week. On the one hand, there are very few people there who go to Kowloon and the main island. On the other hand, it's too far away and it's troublesome for us to back up each other's data."
It's the first time in Hong Kong that branches can withdraw money from each other, and the boss is really awesome.
After the meeting, Zhang Zhonghua and the computer talents brought from Japan got busy in the Yuhuang Building. They needed to generate unique bank account information for each employee of the group.
At the same time, Zhang Zhonghua temporarily handed over the task of training group employees on computer usage to Japanese computer talents.
The day before the opening of Jade Emperor Bank, a lot of ingredients were purchased for the group's employee canteen. Zhang Zhonghua also led several chefs to prepare the ingredients in advance, so it would be much easier to cook tomorrow.
Xin Xiaoling came to Global Shipping Group with an invitation written by Zhang Zhonghua. Now the relationship between Yuhuang Group and Global Shipping is getting closer and closer. Although Yuhuang Group has its own Tianzhou Logistics, many places are still inaccessible, such as
Transport electrical appliances to ugly countries.
Xin Xiaoling remembered that she and her boss went to Tin Shui Wai to look for a breeding farm and were worried about transportation.
Now the boss has not only established the Yuhuang Group, but is also the largest customer of the Global Shipping Group, and has his own shipping company. It is really different from the past!
Xin Xiaoling was led by the front desk of Global Shipping and walked into the office of the charter king. The boss's more than two years in Hong Kong exceeded the charter king's more than ten years of struggle. The boss is awesome.
"Hello, Mr. Bao, long time no see."
Xin Xiaoling said respectfully, and then handed over the invitation. This was her idol before her boss Zhang Zhonghua was her idol.
"Welcome, Director Xin, you have a company in the Yuhuang Group that is about to open, and you gave me an invitation to this old guy."
The chartering king looked at the invitation in his hand and asked with a smile. He had not heard that Zhang Sheng had opened any new company.
"Our Jade Emperor Group has just acquired Hong Kong Development Bank and established Jade Emperor Bank. Tomorrow is the day when our Jade Emperor Bank will be opened. It is not convenient for Zhang Sheng to go out now, so he sent me to send you an invitation letter."
Xin Xiaoling explained to the charter king.
"Zhang Sheng returned to Hong Kong Island?"
The charter king asked in surprise. He lamented that Zhang Zhonghua was indeed very courageous, but he was relieved when he thought about the commotion caused by Jade Emperor Security and his junior brothers. Now no one in Hong Kong Island or even the entire Southeast Asia dares to hit Zhang Zhonghua casually.
idea.
However, the chartering king also understands that even if someone is interested in Zhang Zhonghua, Zhang Zhonghua will not be able to earn a living by accepting thousands of security personnel.
"The boss just returned to Hong Kong Island yesterday and now lives in Central."
Xin Xiaoling couldn't help but smile and said.
The boss suddenly made a fortune, but was forced to hide in Japan for a while. He had to clean up the ground in Hong Kong Island before he dared to come back. She thought it was quite funny when she thought about it.
"Haha, establish Jade Emperor Bank? Is Zhang Sheng going to enter the banking industry in a big way? Is this a great thing?"
The charter king smiled heartily. The societies in Southeast Asia were indeed too rampant. The days at Deep Water Bay were so lively that many tycoons were so frightened that they even went out with bodyguards. The money was so exciting! But since Zhang Sheng’s men
After killing all parties, Hong Kong Island was completely cleared.
"Currently, we have no plans to directly enter the banking industry. Our Jade Emperor Bank currently mainly serves its employees. It is not convenient to deposit and withdraw money from the bank now, so we will not expand our business externally for the time being.
Jade Emperor Bank currently only has three branches in Central, Tsim Sha Tsui and Tin Shui Wai. The latest computer system is mainly for the convenience of its employees."
Xin Xiaoling said with a smile.
"Yes, Zhang Sheng is not short of money now, and there is no need to obtain funds through soliciting deposits. Director Xin, will the newly opened Jade Emperor Bank use the kind of magnetic cards used in China and the UK?"
The charter king asked curiously.
A few years ago, he had seen that kind of cash machine in a bank in London. It was indeed more convenient, but it was more difficult and costly.
"No, Jade Emperor Bank still uses ID cards for deposits and withdrawals for the time being. The deposit and withdrawal information will be recorded in the database of the bank system. This is mainly to facilitate the convenience of withdrawals in Central and Kowloon.
The ATMs in the UK are still unavailable for the time being, mainly because the cost of the magnetic cards is a bit high, and the benefits outweigh the losses."
Xin Xiaoling explained to the charter king.
"It's also very convenient to be able to withdraw funds between two places. This computer is really a good thing."
The charter king said with emotion.
Currently, HSBC has no more than 20 branches on Hong Kong Island, and accounts between different branches cannot withdraw funds across branches. If you want to withdraw money from another bank, you need to make an appointment in advance. She did not expect that Jade Emperor Bank was the first to use computer technology to realize cross-bank withdrawals.
Foreign banks purchase large-scale industrial computers to establish their own banking systems to enable inter-bank withdrawals. However, the only one with strength on Hong Kong Island is Jade Emperor Bank.
HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank are reluctant to invest so much money in building computer systems on Hong Kong Island.
"By the way, do all your bank employees know computers? I remember that all computers nowadays are in English?"
The Charter King suddenly remembered the important matter of words.
"In the first half of this year, our boss Zhang Sheng developed a Yanxia script five-stroke input method that can be used on computers, but it was not publicized to the outside world."
Xin Xiaoling explained to the charter king.
Whether Yanxiawen can be used on computers is also a problem that restricts the application of computers in Hong Kong Island. This is one of the reasons why HSBC does not use computers to build its banking system.
"Do you have any idea of selling Zhang Sheng's Wubi input method to external parties? Our group also needs to use Yanxia script on computers, otherwise it will be very inconvenient. By the way, is this Wubi input method easy to learn?"
The charter king asked eagerly, sighing in his heart that Zhang Sheng was indeed a computer genius whose software had been sold for US$1.5 billion, and he had developed the Yanxia input method so quickly.
"It is not for sale at the moment, and the patent has not even been registered. Zhang Sheng said that the Yanxia input method is not very useful at present, and there are only a few Hong Kong companies on the entire Hong Kong Island that can use industrial machines."
Xin Xiaoling said with a helpless smile.
"As for learning the input method this month, I still have some troubles. I practiced for a month before I became proficient in using it.
There are too many words in our hot summer and they are too complicated. Each word needs to be split and reassembled. Once you become proficient, it will be much easier. Typing is very fast.
If necessary, Mr. Bao can send some people to study at the Jade Emperor Building. I don't think the boss will be too cool. We are also training bank employees now, and they can usually learn it in two months."
