After achieving his goal, Zhang Zhonghua left Intel Corporation happily and returned to YH Software Company not far away accompanied by security personnel. This is really a happy event for a person.
Thinking that I still have more than 450 million U.S. dollars lying around in my bank account in Switzerland, I can't let so much money lie in the dust, otherwise the money will depreciate every day with inflation.
So Zhang Zhonghua went to take out the world area again. Although he didn't know the specific location of the mineral point, he still had a general understanding of the location. After all, in his previous life, foreign countries had a lot of trouble with the Yanxia government because of the import of ore.
He must acquire some land for mining and use it to supply Nippon Steel and import it into the country in the future.
As for acquiring land in Samba Country, Zhang Zhonghua has completely given up. Several places he knows have become the properties of Danshui River Valley Company in Samba Country.
Samba Danshui Valley Company will be the world's largest iron ore producer and exporter in the future, and the largest mining company in the entire American continent.
However, the Danshui River Valley was established as early as 1942. The Danshui River Valley has already monopolized 80% of the iron ore output in Samba. The iron ore has already occupied all the iron ore locations in Samba that Zhang Zhonghua knew. Zhang Zhonghua could only wash his hands and sleep.
Already.
As for North America, there is no need to worry about the United States. Canadian iron mines have already been occupied by the United States' steel companies.
In addition to Samba State-owned Steel, the only remaining countries in South America are Peru and Chile, but they have already been carved up.
Countries in Asia and the Middle East are rich in iron ore, not to mention the Middle East. The war is raging and the king's flag is changing on the city. His little arms and legs should not join in the fun.
As for Australia, Zhang Zhonghua also has a headache when he thinks about it. There are three super giants there: BHP, Billiton and Rio Tinto.
Rio Tinto was founded in Spain in 1873. The group is headquartered in the United Kingdom and its Australian headquarters is in Melbourne.
Rio Tinto Group will be one of the world's largest resource mining and mineral product suppliers in the future, and the world's second largest iron ore producer.
Starting in 1962, Rio Tinto Group began to merge with mining companies and is now one of the three largest iron ore companies in Australia.
The Billiton Group was established in Melbourne in 1860 and is Australia's largest mining giant; the BHP Group was established in Melbourne in 1885 and is Australia's second mining giant.
】
Over the past few decades, BHP has acquired Billiton to form the BHP Billiton Group, a well-known multinational company that mainly operates oil and minerals, and has become the world's largest resource company.
Zhang Zhonghua knows that 90% of Australia's iron ore resources are concentrated in Western Australia, mainly distributed in two major regions: the Pilbara region and the central and western regions.
The iron ore in the Pilbara region is mainly high-grade iron ore. Specific varieties include low-phosphorus, high-phosphorus Brookman ore, Maramamba ore, riverbed ore, etc. The iron ore in the central and western regions is mainly low-grade.
Magnetite, a small amount of hematite and mixed minerals, etc.
Although Zhang Zhonghua knew this, it was a pity that it was of no use. Since they were concentrated in one area, most of them were discovered. Even if they were not discovered, they would like to mine in Australia.
Australia imposed a ban on the export of iron ore in 1938 and it was implemented for 22 years.
On November 16, 1952, Hancock discovered exposed iron ore in Western Australia. It was the largest iron ore discovered so far on earth. His discovery changed Western Australia, Australia and even the entire world!
It has been 15 years since iron ore was discovered in the central and western parts of Australia, and no one will be able to get a share of the pie for another two 15 years.
The three companies Rio Tinto, BHP and Billiton not only have a near monopoly on the best local mines in the Pilbara region, but more importantly, they firmly control the local infrastructure - ports and railways.
Lack of sufficient high-quality resources, such as astronomical investment in infrastructure, prevents latecomers from entering.
Rio Tinto owns nine mines in Western Australia, three of which are joint ventures.
At the same time, it also has about 700 kilometers of railway lines, a terminal at the Port of Dampier and other infrastructure.
If Zhang Zhonghua wants to open mining in Australia, he must first build hundreds of kilometers of railways and ports. Australia has a population of only 11 million.
It is really difficult to get a share of the pie, and it is a pipe dream for the three companies to invest in it even if they don't have enough money. The only way forward is to invest in some iron ore mines through Nippon Steel.
Zhang Zhonghua's head hurt when he looked at the map of the world's iron ore distribution that had been marked. America was out of the question, Australia was out of the question, and it seemed that only China and the Soviet Union were left.
It was too difficult to invest in the steel industry in the 1960s. Zhang Zhonghua thought of the steel king, Carnegie, who was hailed as the "Father of Charity in Ugly Country" by the world.
On November 25, 1835, Andrew Carnegie was born in Dunfermline, the ancient capital of Scotland.
In 1848, because life was too difficult, Carnegie and his family came to New York Harbor on the east coast of the United States;
In April 1865, Carnegie co-founded the Carnegie Coleman Union Steel Works in Pennsylvania;
In 1873, when the U.S. economy was in a panic, Carnegie's partners, the Cluman brothers and their brother's father-in-law, sold their shares to Carnegie;
In 1881, Carnegie realized his childhood dream and established Carnegie Brothers Company with his brother Tom. Its steel production accounted for 1/37 of the country's steel production;
In 1890, Carnegie changed the company's name to the Carnegie Steel Company, and its capital increased to US$25 million. He held more than half of the company's shares;
In 1892, Carnegie merged Carnegie Brothers with two other companies to form the Carnegie Steel Company named after himself;
In February 1901, Carnegie sold the Carnegie Steel Company to Morgan for $500 million.
At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Carnegie Steel Company had become the largest steel company in the world.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It has more than 20,000 employees and the most advanced equipment in the world. Its annual output exceeds the steel output of the United Kingdom, and its annual revenue reaches 4,000
Ten thousand U.S. dollars.
In 1901, the steel produced by the Carnegie Steel Company accounted for 25% of the total steel sales in the United States.
In the Ugly Country, along with the names of "car king" Ford, "oil king" Rockefeller and other large plutocrats, there is also a "steel king", he is Andrew Carnegie.
In the history of American industry, Carnegie occupies an important page. He conquered the world with steel, became the richest man in the United States for a time, and later donated almost all his property to society.
70 years ago, Carnegie became the steel king. Why does Zhang Zhonghua feel that investing in minerals now is a bit of a dream?
Forget it, I won’t mine mines myself. I’ll leave the iron ore to Nippon Steel in the future. I can’t do anything about it at the moment.
There is no need for Nippon Steel to worry about its future development into the world's largest steel giant. Yoshihiro Inayama and Takehiro Hino know better that they are simply worrying about iron ore.
Zhang Zhonghua turned over the world map and looked at it. The iron ore distribution map he knew seemed to have been occupied.
The fields of petroleum and iron ore have been divided up long ago. These are not something that the Jade Emperor Group without foundation can enter. What other fields should we invest in?
After the iron ore investment failed, Zhang Zhonghua began to consider other investment directions. Money in the bank would only depreciate, so it was better to spend it early.
Land hoarding on Hong Kong Island is not reliable. There is not much land there to begin with. A lot of wasteland in Tseung Kwan O has been hoarded. Most of the high-quality land is in the hands of the four major foreign banks;
If you continue to buy properties in Japan, you must have a suitable business. Real estate speculation in Japan will be looked down upon;
In the home appliance industry, the research and development cycle is too long and it cannot compete with Japan's giants. The patent for TVs cannot be authorized. Isn't the refrigerator currently in a state of half-empty status?
The automobile industry is even more hopeless. Without technology, talent, and market, it is easy to be suppressed by coalitions.
In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, it seems that the only field that can be invested in is the retail sector. Carrefour Supermarket is a big retail company, and now it can enter convenience stores to form a perfect complement.
Convenience stores can not only sell a large number of fast-moving goods with small profits but quick turnover, but also provide catering, and the most important thing is a strong sales channel. Comics and newspapers will not be trivial in the future.
The global convenience store chain giant 7-Eleven was established as early as 1927. In 1946, Southern Company extended its business hours from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., thus the trademark "7-11" was born.
In 1973, Japan's retail giant Yin Teng Yokado Company signed a regional franchise agreement with Chouguo Southern Company and began to represent the 7-11 brand, developing and expanding 7-11.
The diversified expansion of Chouguo Southern Company failed. In the 1990s, the 7-11 brand was acquired by Yin Teng Yokado, and the world's convenience store retail giant was born.
Zhang Zhonghua is extremely familiar with 7-11. Thinking about the future, Bianlifeng will launch shared bicycles, and the streets will be full of convenience stores. How can he not be familiar with it?
Convenience stores rely on frequent purchases of small batches. Only by using advanced logistics systems can it be possible to develop chain convenience stores, because it enables frequent purchases of small batches.
Typical convenience stores are very small, with an average area of only about 100 square meters, but such stores offer more than 3,000 daily necessities.
Although convenience stores offer a wide variety of products, they usually do not have storage space. In order to increase product sales, the sales space should in principle be as large as possible.
And all goods must be replenished in time through the distribution center.
In order to ensure the efficient supply of goods, distribution channels are particularly powerful, and advanced technologies such as big data and cloud computing are also applied to convenience stores.
Under the new distribution system, an entrusted wholesaler is designated to be responsible for several sales activity areas and is authorized to deal in products from different manufacturers.
In addition, the headquarters can develop efficient distribution channels to connect all stores by signing sales agreements with wholesalers and manufacturers.
Zhang Zhonghua was very excited when he thought of the broad market prospects of 7-11. 7-11 is a global retail giant and the world's largest convenience store chain group.
Yuhuang Supermarket can definitely learn from the successful model of 7-11. In a few years, convenience stores can completely occupy the Southeast Asian, Japanese and European markets. Half of them are self-operated and half are franchised, which can also save a lot of time.
7-11 is also very cautious in recruiting franchisees, and the franchise fee is extremely high. Most of 7-11's franchisees are mainly its own employees.
This is also the difference between 7-Eleven and many chain industries. It trains its existing store managers or employees to become franchisees. Isn't this the successful experience that 7-Eleven has summarized for itself? You can just copy it.
The number of self-operated food companies under Carrefour will continue to increase, and these products can be sold in convenience stores. In the future, anyone who sells mineral water will become the richest man in China.
Can Yuhuang Group also enter the beverage field in the future? Master Zhang's iced black tea, Master Zhang's rock sugar snow pear, Master Zhang's green tea, Master Zhang's Nutrition Express, and mineral water will no longer need Master Zhang's.
There are also instant noodles, Master Zhang's braised beef noodles, Master Zhang's Laotan pickled cabbage noodles, Master Zhang's shrimp and fish noodles, etc., of course Laotan pickled cabbage.
With Carrefour supermarkets and convenience stores, what will happen to Master Kong and Uni-President in the future? I have the final say on what the supermarkets sell.
It’s such a happy decision. After the supermarket industry, Yuhuang Group’s next step is to enter the retail industry of convenience stores. If nothing else, it must enter just for the huge cash flow, not to mention that the time is very good now.
Well, maybe we can directly monopolize the Asian market.
It would be great to stock up on more stores in Japan. The future housing prices in Japan will be astronomical. If we sell some stores at the peak in 1989, life will be really beautiful.
Yuhuang Group can also work hard to nip 7-11, Lawson, and FamilyMart convenience stores in the cradle, so that Yuhuang Group's convenience stores can dominate the market.
What’s a good name for a convenience store? 7-11 is very easy to name, but it’s a pity that it already exists. Familymart is not very good, and its internationalization will be affected.
Zhang Zhonghua has entered a state of distress. It is better to call it FamilyMart, or Homemart in English, because its capabilities are limited.
After Zhang Zhonghua decided to enter the retail convenience store industry, he began to recall the operating model of 7-11. The logistics system of Carrefour Supermarket and Yuhuang Logistics Company has made it a lot easier and will get twice the result with half the effort. The supply chain system of Carrefour Supermarket is also quite good.
, convenience stores are all fast-moving consumer goods and are very simple.
Zhang Zhonghua couldn't help but gulp down his saliva when he thought of oden, the staple food of the convenience store. He really missed it. Filled fish balls, golden cuttlefish balls, tribute balls, Beihai Xianggu balls, bean curd cuttlefish rolls, seafood soup dumplings, crab roe cuttlefish balls,
Zhang Zhonghua has tasted dozens of varieties, such as crab roe salad, shrimp, etc. This should be left to the research and development of the food and beverage departments of Dongying Island and Baodao.
Oden has a long history in Japan. It is the name given to this cuisine by the Kansai people. It later spread to Nanwan. In Nanwan, the soup, dipping sauce and its varieties were enriched. It is rich in nutrition and has its own style. It has become
A famous snack. Then it became really popular in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. Selling a piece of radish for two yuan shows how huge profits it can be.
Zhang Zhonghua was very happy when he thought about the huge cash flow and franchise fees of convenience stores. He smiled from ear to ear. The retail industry is now very profitable.
Those who build atomic bombs are better off selling tea eggs. This is no joke. Isn’t it said that buying tea eggs at the train station can make thousands of profits a day?
Convenience stores can also bring countless decoration orders to Huamei Decoration Company, which is a perfect complement. Lou's decoration company is really going to open branches all over the world.
