"The population here in Europe is not as dense as Japan. Each Carrefour supermarket is equipped with about 400 staff, which should be able to meet the needs of the supermarket.
Carrefour currently has about 2,000 employees in West Germany, including 3,000 in the supply chain system. We estimate that there will be 120 comprehensive supermarkets in West Germany, and the number of employees in the future will reach about 2,000."
He Rongfei said.
"Okay, after Carrefour in West Germany has opened 60 or 70 stores, it can be handed over to the branch here to continue to expand. The group and the European branch will seize the time to enter various countries.
The most important thing is to cover the entire European market first, and the branches will be responsible for the development of specific countries. Once full coverage here is completed, we will also strive to enter the American and Canadian markets as soon as possible."
Zhang Zhonghua ordered.
"Understood, Carrefour Supermarket is currently exploring markets in Southeast Asia and Europe at the same time. If we work harder, it is expected to be completed in about a year."
He Rongfei said.
With the huge profits and turnover of Carrefour Supermarket in Japan, expansion is still very easy. If Carrefour's own funds are not enough, cFc can also provide financial support.
"Well, let's start with the opening of Carrefour in West Germany."
Zhang Zhonghua nodded and said.
The time soon came when Carrefour opened in West Germany.
Zhang Zhonghua brought a group of Carrefour executives to the flagship store of Munich, the largest city in West Germany. The capital of West Germany is Bonn, but Bonn is the political center of West Germany, not the economic center, and the future capital of Germany will be Berlin, so Carrefour
There was no need to set up a branch in Bonn, but the temporary headquarters was located in Munich.
In modern times, Munich was also a troubled city. During World War II alone, Munich was bombed by 71 Allied air raids. More than a quarter of the entire city of Munich was damaged, and many places were destroyed.
Leveled to the ground and turned into ruins.
In 1945, the Ugly Country and the Bears occupied Munich. Compared with other German cities destroyed by the war, Munich was rebuilt according to the pre-war city scale and maintained the pre-World War II street pattern.
After the war, West Germany's economy and heavy industry recovered rapidly. In just over 20 years, Munich has developed into one of West Germany's major economic, cultural, technological and transportation centers, as well as a center for bioengineering and service industries.
The largest financial center in West Germany is Frankfurt, and the second largest financial center is Munich. This shows the rapid economic development of Munich.
Speaking of Munich, the most famous one is the Oktoberfest, which is attended by millions of people every year.
The Oktoberfest is held in Munich every year from the end of September to the beginning of October. The event lasts for two weeks until the first Sunday in October. The Oktoberfest is the biggest event of the year in Munich.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Zhang Zhonghua stood in front of the Carrefour supermarket and looked at Marienplatz not far away. It was really a prime location, close to the city hall and not far from the Notre Dame Church.
"Are you Mr. Zhang Zhonghua?"
While Zhang Zhonghua was looking around, a middle-aged European-looking man passing by asked Zhang Zhonghua hesitantly.
"Yes, I am Zhang Zhonghua, who are you?"
Zhang Zhonghua, who was being talked to, was confused. Who is this? Is he so famous in West Germany? He was recognized just after he went out.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, I am honored to meet you in Munich. I am Kurt Jones, a computer professor at the University of Munich. I have your photos in the C language books you published, and I also like the novels you wrote.
."
Professor Kurt Jones, who got the positive result, explained to Zhang Zhonghua with some excitement.
At this time, Zhang Zhonghua also realized that books published abroad now have the author's photo and introduction, and this is a professor of computer science. No wonder he recognized himself, and his oriental face is hard to miss in a place like Munich.
Get someone else's attention.
"Hello, Professor Kurt Jones, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm honored that you read my books and thank you for supporting me."
Zhang Zhonghua said very politely.
"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, in C language..."
The professor didn't say much else and started asking for advice on academic questions.
When he saw Professor Kurt Jones directly asking questions on the spot, Zhang Zhonghua felt dizzy for a while, but he still explained it seriously. No matter how busy he was, he could still answer questions for loyal book fans, not to mention that he was a dignified computer professor in Munich.
You still have to give some face.
"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, how long will you stay in Germany? Do you have time to give a lecture at the University of Munich?"
asked Professor Curt Jones.
"I'll probably stay for three or four days. There's not enough time from time to time. The Carrefour supermarket under our umbrella is opening today, and I'll be on stage to sing later."
Zhang Zhonghua said a little apologetically.
"Oh, my God, I almost forgot that you are also an excellent businessman and singer. I am going to call my friend and ask German TV station 2 to record your singing performance live."
Professor Kurt Jones said excitedly.
Deutsche Zeitung is a public television station in Germany and one of the largest television stations in Europe.
Zhang Zhonghua looked at Professor Kurt Jones with some surprise, "Young man, you have good connections. If you can invite German TV 2 today to put Carrefour's opening ceremony on the program, I will go to the University of Munich to give a lecture tomorrow."
Zhang Zhonghua invited Professor Kurt Jones to the service desk of the supermarket and informed the supermarket manager to prepare. Before, he simply invited newspapers and media, but now German TV 2 also has to make adjustments.
At ten o'clock in the morning, all preparations were in place, and the staff of German TV station 2 were also in place.
The official opening ceremony of Carrefour is still a three-part ax under the Jade Emperor Group.
The first opening of the business also officially appeared in West Germany, instantly attracting countless tourists.
With cheerful rhythm and interesting dance, the number of tourists gathered in front of the supermarket soon became larger and larger, and German TV station 2 also started intense recording.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I am honored to come to Munich, the largest city in Germany. I am Zhang Zhonghua He. Thank you German friends for watching our performance. Next I will perform a song for you. I hope
Everyone likes it.”
Zhang Zhonghua said in fluent German, which made many people look at him.
Visitors to Marienplatz were flocking to Carrefour. Zhang Zhonghua was very excited when he saw the crowd of people in the audience. He might have copied all of Jackson's songs and become a world superstar, and tour the world.
"One more song, one more song..."
Zhang Zhonghua listened to the shouts of the tourists in the audience and immediately started to prepare the second song. He was afraid of encountering a situation. As expected, people who have no long-term worries will always have immediate worries.
"Thank you everyone for your enthusiastic cheers. I hope everyone likes the last song "We Will Rock You"."
Zhang Zhonghua said in English.
"We Will Rock You" is the famous theme song of the previous World Cup. It is very suitable for European and American styles, and Zhang Zhonghua has already prepared it.
"buddy you're a oise,playi gonnaa big man someday...Singin,ill rock you..."
When Zhang Zhonghua was singing, he almost laughed when he thought of the video of Queen. The lead singer was wearing white underwear, a towel and a red scarf. The picture was so beautiful that I couldn't even imagine it.
The management and employees of Carrefour Supermarket watched the boss's performance. The boss was really awesome. He danced so coolly and sang the songs well.
I couldn't help but sigh, it's a pity that my boss is not a star, it's a waste of talent. If my boss were to be a star, he would definitely become popular around the world and become a global superstar.
The German citizens at the scene jumped for joy, and many book fans screamed with excitement. Zhang Zhonghua is really outstanding.
Countless citizens sang along with "we will Rock You", and the cheerful rhythm was so touching.
At eleven o'clock, Carrefour supermarket officially opened for business, and countless tourists poured into the supermarket.
After the official opening, Zhang Zhonghua also began to be interviewed by Germany's 2nd TV station. As a world-renowned computer expert and world-renowned writer, he is still very well-known around the world.
Zhang Zhonghua took this opportunity to talk about his ideals, concepts, and future, and at the same time answered several questions prepared by reporters.
After the interview, Zhang Zhonghua, escorted by his bodyguards, returned home to the top management of Carrefour to prepare a villa for him. Looking at the Alps, what popped into his head was indeed an Alpine lollipop.
Is there a relationship between the two? It's a bit of a cross-over.
"Boss, this German sausage is really not very tasty. It would be better to eat a steak burger."
"It's really not that delicious. I might as well eat cFc's Big Mac."
Zhang Long also complained.
"Okay, let's have cFc tomorrow. The food in Germany is really not that good. It doesn't taste as good as French food. German food and British food are indeed the two disasters in the catering world."
Zhang Zhonghua also said a little speechlessly.
"Boss, that phone call from Professor Kurt Jones during the day."
Just when several people were complaining about German food, Zhang Long walked in with a satellite phone.
Zhang Zhonghua took the satellite phone from Zhang Long. He was invited by the University of Munich to give a lecture tomorrow. Seeing that Jones had helped so much today, Zhang Zhonghua readily agreed.
The University of Munich is the number one university in Germany. It seems that the global ranking will always be around 50 in the future. German Institute of Technology is so awesome, so the ranking of this university is too high.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, German TV 2 broadcast a video of the opening of Carrefour supermarket in the morning. The program lasted for half an hour, and most of the videos of the performance and the interview with Zhang Zhonghua were broadcast in full.
Zhang Zhonghua also complained speechlessly. German Channel 2 would not broadcast today's opening ceremony as an entertainment program.
Tonight, audiences in West Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Austria can watch it, and several surrounding countries can also understand German, not to mention English.
"Boss, we have also traveled to many countries. It seems that except for Hong Kong Island, TV programs in other places are in color."
Zhang Long said.
"Yes, the TV in Deep Water Bay Villa is black and white, I don't think I've ever watched TV.
The main reason is that the cost of shooting color programs is several times that of black and white. If you want to shoot color programs, the TV station needs funds to update equipment, and most households on Hong Kong Island also have black and white TVs. Color TVs are not cheap, so not many people are willing to buy them.
"
Zhang Zhonghua explained.
"The TVs in Deep Water Bay are all Toshiba color TVs. tvb's "Happy Tonight" is a bit better, but the series is not interesting. They only shoot two episodes a week and they are very boring."
"The talk shows from Ugly Country are also interesting, but the host's words are too vicious. I wonder if the president of Ugly Country watches these TV programs. If he does, I wonder if he will be pissed off half to death."
Zhang Long said with a smile.
"Boss, here comes the fried chicken and beer."
The German food for dinner was not to the taste and I was still hungry, so cFc’s special late night snack started.
At noon the next day, Zhang Zhonghua arrived at the University of Munich. The computer lecture was about to begin in the afternoon. Zhang Zhonghua also learned some information about the University of Munich in the morning.
The University of Munich, founded in 1472, is recognized as a top academic and research leader and a top university in the world. Since its establishment in the 15th century, the University of Munich has been one of the well-known comprehensive universities in Europe and even the world. Its physics, chemistry, medicine,
Mathematics, and other fields are at the forefront of the world.
There have been a large number of scholars who have won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the Nobel Prize in Physics, and the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Zhang Zhonghua looked at the long list of Nobel Prize winners at the University of Munich. It was not unreasonable for Germany’s military and rocket technology to dominate the world more than 30 years ago. It was so powerful. No wonder it dared to go against Western European countries and still fought.
Once upon a time, if the Ugly Kingdom hadn't intervened, maybe the Holy Roman Empire would have been established.
Of course, this HRE is not the one that is neither holy, nor Roman, nor imperial.
At the same time, German universities provide students with free educational opportunities and do not impose strong restrictions on the number of years students can study at school. As long as they meet the school's enrollment requirements, they can enroll for free.
It is not unreasonable for Germany to be technologically advanced. It is probably only Germany in the world that does this.
Zhang Zhonghua came to the largest lecture hall of the University of Munich under the leadership of Professor Kurt Jones. Looking at the dark crowd in the audience, there must be no less than 4,000 people. Are these computer students or book lovers? There is a black line on Zhang Zhonghua's head.
The speech finally came to an end after two hours. Zhang Zhonghua also answered many questions from professors and students. Of course, there were also many literary questions. After all, he held the title of writer.
It is undeniable that the academic style of the University of Munich is very rigorous. Germany also has special respect for the profession of teachers. Of course, the university provides free educational opportunities to students.
After the speech, Zhang Zhonghua received the certificate of doctorate and honorary professor from the University of Munich from the dean of computer science. This is the third doctorate and honorary professor title after the University of Tokyo and Stanford University, adding another bragging capital.
.
After a simple meal at the University of Munich, Zhang Zhonghua left the University of Munich with his bodyguards, also returning the favor of Professor Kurt Jones.
