"Sheng Zhang, is Jade Emperor Bank open to all citizens of Hong Kong Island this time?"
Wen Wei Po reporter asked.
“Currently, Jade Emperor Bank has opened many branches in Southeast Asia and Japan, and will soon open branches in other regions to better serve residents throughout Southeast Asia.
Jade Emperor Bank is now officially open to all citizens of Hong Kong Island. However, the reception capacity of Jade Emperor Bank in Hong Kong Island is limited and it is difficult to serve all Hong Kong Island citizens. In addition to the employees of Yuhuang Group, it can serve up to 200,000 Hong Kong Island residents.
resident."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
Jade Emperor Bank does not need so many Hong Kong dollars, but it cannot help but provide deposit-taking services, so it only needs to take in deposits appropriately so as not to offend all its banking peers.
"Sheng Zhang, it is said that you have invented the Chinese input method, but why haven't you promoted it?"
a reporter from Sing Tao Daily asked.
Zhang Zhonghua was extremely embarrassed when he heard this question. How do you want me to answer it?
Could it be that I didn’t apply for a patent or promote it just to enjoy a few more years of patent time?
Moreover, only a few companies in Hong Kong use computers. Doesn’t this make me waste my patent protection period?
"Although the current Chinese input method can input Chinese characters, there are still some rare characters that cannot be output. This software is still under further development. Companies in need can go to Yuhuang Group to purchase..."
There are a lot of Chinese characters that Zhang Zhonghua has never heard of and he can't type them. How can he promote them? Chinese characters are really too difficult.
After Zhang Zhonghua answered a few questions, he handed over the rest of the interview to Wang Puweishi, the chief executive of Yuhuang Bank. He did not need to be in the limelight. After the press conference was over, Zhang Zhonghua also returned to Yuhuang Building.
"Boss, our group's securities company has been established, but there is basically no business now."
The person in charge of Yuhuang Securities said depressingly that there is almost no one in front of the exchange now.
"Well, let's first buy some shares of Jardine Matheson's Wharf and Land, and by the way buy some shares of the dairy company. If there are any that are sold, buy them. If not, forget it.
I don’t know how many people in Hong Kong are paying attention to the Jade Emperor Group. Don’t do large-scale centralized acquisitions. These stocks are invested by hundreds of retail investors. Do you understand what I mean?”
Zhang Zhonghua said.
"I understand, boss, if you become a big person, you will attract attention. I will arrange for people to acquire a few more securities companies. Now the securities industry can hardly sustain it.
This is more convenient and can distract everyone’s attention.”
Yuhuang Securities can only be used as an empty shell at present. It would be better to cast more nets and acquire it quietly, so that everyone has something to do.
"Okay, let's arrange for someone to acquire the securities company. The fewer people who know about this, the better."
Zhang Zhonghua joked.
"Boss, now the overall market value of Jardine is only over 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, and Dairy Milk International is not even 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Boss, how much can we get?"
Zhang Zhonghua felt very speechless. He really wanted to buy Jardine Matheson directly, but it was definitely not possible. If he really bought Jardine Matheson completely, it would directly touch the nerves of the British, and he would not need to be in Hong Kong Island in the future.
Mixed up.
"Remember, we only buy stocks for financial investment. We, the Jade Emperor Group, will continue to work in Hong Kong Island in the future. The four major foreign banks are now banned by British capital. We must not touch them lightly. We cannot offend the four major foreign banks now, especially
It’s HSBC.”
Money is not everything. If you touch someone's core interests, they will start fighting with you. This is totally not worth the gain.
"I understand boss, I'm just talking, I don't have any thoughts."
Land prices have been skyrocketing for three consecutive years since this year. The market value of these companies has increased at least ten times. As long as you buy their stocks, you can make a lot of money. Finance is the real money grab.
After staying in Hong Kong Island for a few days, Zhang Zhonghua flew to Europe with the top management of the catering company. Now that Gaul is no longer suitable for expansion, CFC's strategy in Europe needs to be adjusted accordingly.
There are various strikes in Gaul every year, plus there is a holiday for half of the year, and there is also a Hammer restaurant, so I can only choose another country to expand, and Zhang Zhonghua is also quite helpless.
Jade Emperor Group Conference Room, Canary Wharf, London.
"Boss, once a strike starts in Gaul, it will take at least two or three months. We plan to go to West Germany to open up the market first."
Shang Xiufang said to Zhang Zhonghua.
This time the situation has intensified. It is really impossible to continue to open a store in Gaul. Employees who do not march with everyone will be regarded as an alternative and will be ostracized by the entire Gallic society.
“How are our employees treated in Gaul?”
Zhang Zhonghua asked curiously.
"We work 70 hours a week, basically two shifts, and the minimum wage is US$150. Now most restaurants can no longer operate normally."
】
"Well, it's okay. Let's wait until the trouble in Gaul is over before raising wages. We can't raise wages now, otherwise we will become a target."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
These employees cannot be fired, and they must be treated as bosses. The consequences of firing employees in Gaul are really unaffordable.
In the future, employees in Europe, especially Western Europe, will basically be in this situation, and all of them will be like uncles.
"The number of white-feathered chickens in German farms has reached 8 million, and they are still expanding their breeding scale. It is expected that they will be able to supply European countries by the end of the year."
Shang Xiufang introduced the relevant situation.
"Okay, let's start with Germany first, then the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy and other countries. Carrefour in Japan has completed the work, and the decoration team there will come to Europe to assist and speed up the completion of the occupation of the European market."
Zhang Zhonghua also had to worry. Knife sellers have already entered South American countries. CFC is not listed and does not need to pay dividends to shareholders. There are no shareholders holding back. All profits can be invested in new store expansion.
Now they are competing for time, competing for store opening speed and supply chain system. In a few years, they will enter each other's base camp and fight. Judging from the current situation, there is no chance that they will become a second-tier brand.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "No problem, we estimate that the European market currently needs a total of 3,500 stores. If the decoration team is large, it will take one and a half to two years to occupy the European market.
In Europe, only West Germany, Gaul, Spain, and Turkey are larger in area, and other small countries can proceed simultaneously."
Shang Xiufang said with confidence that a small country like Luxembourg might not need it for half a month, so it would just be passed on, and a bigger place wouldn't need to open many stores.
Lao Maozi now controls most of Europe, and those blank markets can only be entered in 20 years. In 1990, Zhang Zhonghua is in pain just thinking about it.
The U.S. and Canada were not considered for the time being. The land was vast and sparsely populated, and opening a store was too laborious and the profits were low. Zhang Zhonghua did not want to waste his precious time in these two countries.
These two locations, as well as the countries in South America, can be used as the final target. Moreover, the two countries are also the base camps of knife sellers and are the places for the final decisive battle.
"The West German branch of Yuhuang Animal Husbandry should also expand its scale rapidly. Southeast Asia cannot supply a market as big as Europe."
Now white-feathered chickens can still be transported to Europe, but it is hard to say in the future. It is estimated that the European market will still be self-sufficient in the future.
"We are now focusing all our energy on hatching new chickens. It will be no problem to reach 20 million by the end of the year." Taira Shinji said.
After the two-hour meeting, Zhang Zhonghua, Xin Xiaoling, and He Jiliang came to the small conference room again. Now there was a bit too much money in the British account and they needed to spend some money.
"Boss, you saw over there at Canary Wharf, there are many buildings for sale there!"
The Jade Emperor Group will also have a headquarters in the UK. These two three-story buildings are really too shabby and do not fit in with the momentum of the Jade Emperor Group, a multinational group, and they are indeed not enough.
"Are you talking about that 8-story building? How much does it cost?"
Zhang Zhonghua followed Xin Xiaoling's gaze.
"Six million pounds, less than US$15 million, is quite appropriate."
Xin Xiaoling said.
"Why is it only an 8-story building? This 8-story building is too short and not enough. Can't we build a building with more than 30 floors?"
"Boss, there is no way. London citizens are opposed to building high-rise buildings in Canary Wharf, saying that it will affect the buildings opposite and is not harmonious."
He Jiliang explained to Zhang Zhonghua with a wry smile.
"Then let's buy two right next to each other."
Hearing Xin Xiaoling's explanation, Zhang Zhonghua was confused. What a fool you are for opposing this. Do you understand that this will increase the value of your house?
"No problem, it will be done in two days. By the way, boss, when will Jade Emperor Bank enter the UK? We have already obtained the banking license here, so it will be easy."
Xin Xiaoling asked.
"Pulvais will arrive in the UK at the end of this month and will build several branches in various cities. He will acquire or invest in several suitable small local banks. Jade Emperor Bank mainly focuses on acquisitions abroad and will not engage in large-scale wars.
Already."
"The banking network in Europe is very developed, but it doesn't have to be as troublesome as in Japan. There are several banks that can handle financial transactions, and depositors basically deposit their money in those big banks."
Xin Xiaoling explained.
It is enough to invest in some local banks. Acquisitions are not necessary at all. Funds can be transferred internationally and there is no shortage of cash flow.
Soon, the Jade Emperor Bank in the City of London opened, and Zhang Zhonghua also officially attended the opening ceremony.
So far, there is another insignificant small bank in the Financial City. The opening of Jade Emperor Bank has not caused any small impact. It is just the smallest bank among the hundreds of banks in the Financial City.
A few days later, the decoration team employees of Yuhuang Group entered West Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and other places on a large scale, and CFC Restaurant started its rapid expansion in Europe.
At the same time, Jade Emperor Bank branches in major cities in the UK also began renovations, and Puves began frantically recruiting and poaching bank employees.
The only thing that makes Zhang Zhonghua unhappy is that the situation in Gaul is getting worse. Of the 100 CFC restaurants in Gaul, less than 40 are normally open. It is really not worth the loss. If it were not for the fact that it is across the sea from the United Kingdom, the CFC catering company would probably have a layout in West Germany.
It's almost done.
After finishing his business in the UK, Zhang Zhonghua took a flight from London back to New York.
The plane finally arrived in New York after an hour-long flight. It was so slow just across the Atlantic Ocean. Boeing still had to work harder, but it was quite interesting to go back a day.
As soon as Zhang Zhonghua and his security personnel walked out of the airport, they saw Lou Xiaoe's family who came to pick them up.
After saying hello, a few people got in the car and drove towards the villa.
"Ahua, why don't you go to college? You can also get a university diploma. I remember that you had very good academic performance when you were in Sijiu City."
Lou Xiao'e joked.
"What university should I study at? I now have a doctorate from Tojin University in Japan and am an honorary professor at Tojin University's School of Engineering. Do I still need to study?"
Zhang Zhonghua said disdainfully.
"Ph.D. from Dongjin University? Or an honorary professor at the College of Engineering? Are you telling the truth or are you lying?"
Lou Xiao'e asked in surprise, that was Dongjin University. She had often heard of the reputation of Dongjin University when she was studying in college on Hong Kong Island.
"Of course it is true. In the second half of the year, I will try to get an honorary professor from Stanford University to give a lecture.
I am a world-renowned computer expert and a well-known writer, and I have written three textbooks. Sister Xiao'e, your undergraduate degree is far behind mine."
Zhang Zhonghua said to Lou Xiao'e disdainfully.
"Uncle Ahua, I miss you so much."
Lou Xiaobao ran directly to Zhang Zhonghua, hugged Zhang Zhonghua's thigh and said.
Do you miss me? Do you want to eat prawns?
"Uncle Ahua, please make me some prawns!"
Before Zhang Zhonghua could expose him, Lou Xiaobao himself exposed his purpose.
Lou Xiao'e's mouth couldn't help but twitch when she heard this.
"Xiaobao, your Uncle Ahua just came back and is very tired. Let your Uncle Ahua cook prawns for you tomorrow, okay?"
Liu Xiaoli knew that Zhang Zhonghua had been flying for most of the day, so she persuaded Lou Xiaobao to leave.
"Uncle Ahua, come and cook prawns for me tomorrow!"
Before leaving, Lou Xiaobao did not forget to ask Zhang Zhonghua to come and cook prawns for him tomorrow.
"Ahua, you don't know, but it was very lively here in Chou Country some time ago. Those black people were making trouble every day."
After sending Lou Xiaobao and Liu Xiaoli away, Lou Xiao'e gloated.
"No matter how lively the ugly country is, can it be as lively as Gaul? Gaul is currently on a nationwide strike, and our CFC restaurant employees have also been on strike for more than a month."
Zhang Zhonghua said disdainfully.
"Ah, what happened in Gaul?"
Lou Xiao'e asked in surprise.
"The people of Gaul demand a maximum of five days of work per week, a maximum of eight hours of work per day, and a minimum monthly salary of $200..."
Zhang Zhonghua reluctantly introduced the affairs of Gaul.
"What good things are these Gauls thinking? The factories on Hong Kong Island work 13 hours a day and only have two days off a month.
On Hong Kong Island, the average working hour per month is 360 hours, and in Gaul, the requirement is 160 hours per month, so Southeast Asia is still going to be overturned."
Mother Lou, who had been silent all this time, also said quite speechlessly.
