Hu Xian did not interrupt the assistant, but listened quietly to everything, and then said solemnly: "I know everything you said."
"I have seen the "Jade Emperor Daily" released today, and their sales volume is indeed shocking. Although many readers of yesterday's "Jade Emperor Daily" were looking for the richest man Zhang.
But it is undeniable that our "***" is not as good as "Jade Emperor Daily", or even a lot worse than theirs. If this continues, our newspaper sales may fall off a cliff."
Hu Xian did not expect that the situation would be so serious. The development of Jade Emperor Daily seriously exceeded her expectations, which made her feel unprepared and at a loss.
Hu Xian originally estimated that the sales volume of Zhongyuhuang Daily would start from 40,000 to 50,000 copies, and then start to increase rapidly, and then after a period of development, it would eventually exceed ***.
The initial sales volume of the first issue of "Jade Emperor Daily" was 40,000 to 50,000 copies, which Hu Xian considered to be an extremely high estimate.
But what Hu Xian didn't expect was that the sales volume of the first issue of "Jade Emperor Daily" in the three places of Hong Kong and Aowan directly exceeded her estimate, with sales reaching as many as 450,000 copies on the first day alone.
.
The most frightening thing is that this terrifying sales volume is only in the three places of Hong Kong and Aowan. "Jade Emperor Daily" currently has no sales in Southeast Asia and other countries in Japan. It is indeed a dragon crossing the river, no, not a dragon crossing the river.
, but a super giant dragon, a terrifying beast that can swallow up the world.
Although this super giant beast that can devour the world is still in its infancy, a giant beast is still a giant beast. As long as it grows a little, it can easily defeat lions and tigers, not to mention some pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep.
"Boss, the homogeneity of our two newspapers is too serious, and the reading groups are also highly overlapping. I'm afraid we have to make way for transformation, otherwise..."
The assistant sighed. He didn't say the rest of the words, but Hu Xian fully understood what he wanted to express.
"Oh, how did things become like this?"
Hu Xian couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She thought of her father, Hu Wenhu.
"My father was also a prominent Southeast Asian newspaper tycoon and Tiger Balm (cool oil) tycoon. After his father passed away, Sing Tao Newspaper was handed over to him. After more than ten years of cautious development, not only did it fail to reach a higher level, but it gradually declined. Now,
At a time of life and death, will my father’s lifelong efforts not fall into my own hands?”
Hu Xian was very unwilling to give in, but she felt more powerless in her heart.
The "Jade Emperor Daily" of the Yuhuang Newspaper Company is backed by the big tree of the Yuhuang Group. It has strong funds and sources of information all over the world. It can be said that it is like a tiger in the mountains and a dragon in the sea. What can it do to compete with others?
And the prototype survives? Where can the transformation go?
Wouldn't it be printing dog scriptures and betting on horses? Or publishing gossip about women, celebrities and tycoons? If so, she would rather die completely.
However, how should the Communist Party respond to the attack of Jade Emperor Daily? Hu Xian fell into deep thinking.
…
That day when Zhang Zhonghua was reading a report in the Jade Emperor Building.
Suddenly I received a phone call, an overseas call from the country of Chou. I learned from Bruce Lee on the other end of the phone that casting for the movie "Way of the Dragon" written by him has begun around the world and will begin soon.
Photographed.
Zhang Zhonghua was very excited when he heard the news. The filming of this movie is finally going to start. It is really not easy. This should be Bruce Lee's first Hollywood movie starring in a real sense.
It should also be the first Hollywood movie starring a Yanxia native, and Zhang Zhonghua is very happy about this.
What makes Zhang Zhonghua most happy is that the script of this movie was completely changed by Zhang Zhonghua. There are quite a lot of advertisements in the whole movie, including CFC restaurants, convenience stores, Carrefour supermarkets, etc.
Especially in the movie, there are a lot of fighting scenes between the protagonist and the villain in CFC restaurants and Carrefour supermarkets. The most awesome thing is that in the movie, there are branches in every country.
In Zhang Zhonghua’s opinion, this movie is
Maybe it will be rated as the earliest commercial film in the future. You may think you are watching a movie, but you are actually watching an advertisement.
Thinking about it, Zhang Zhonghua was still a little excited. He was even thinking about whether he could invite the goddess Audrey Hepburn to make a cameo. We are not short of money, so just give us more money.
Just when Zhang Zhonghua was thinking wildly, Zheng Juan walked into his office. Zheng Juan was a smart and well-groomed female elite, and her clothes were very fashionable. She looked no different from the white-collar women of forty or fifty years later.
"Boss, Jade Emperor Animal Husbandry also has good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Zheng Juan said to Zhang Zhonghua.
"A good news or a bad news, which one do I want to hear first? Are you kidding me?"
Zhang Zhonghua glanced at Zheng Juan and couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he didn't want to think about who started this trick first.
"Then tell me what good news you have first."
"The good news is that there is news from Japan. The Japanese Ministry of Commerce has issued the latest notice. Various materials from Southeast Asia can now enter the Japanese market smoothly, and our CFC restaurants can receive normal supplies from here.
This will greatly reduce our procurement costs. In Japan, whether it is a CFC restaurant, Carrefour or a convenience store, the overall profit will return to its previous state, or even increase."
Zheng Juan said to Zhang Zhonghua with a smile.
"That's good news, but the bad news is that Europe still prohibits purchasing from Southeast Asia, right? Then our CFC restaurants will have to purchase from ugly countries, and the cost is too high."
Zhang Zhonghua guessed.
"Okay, boss, you are very smart but also very unfortunate. You guessed it right. Basically, European countries still restrict meat from Southeast Asia from entering the European market."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zheng Juan said helplessly.
After getting Zheng Juan's affirmative answer, Zhang Zhonghua's brows almost knitted together.
Although the chicken factories in West Germany have been expanding their scale, they are currently unable to supply the entire European market. Even if they continue to expand their scale, it will be difficult for them to supply the entire Europe, and the breeding industry will inevitably be restricted in Europe in the future.
But as the most important raw material of CFC restaurant, white feather chicken is indispensable.
The price difference and cost between purchasing in Europe and the United States and purchasing in Southeast Asia can be said to be worlds apart.
This is really bad news. As costs rise, profits will decrease a lot. As one of the group's cash cows, CFC's profits have dropped significantly, which Zhang Zhonghua cannot accept.
It has not yet reached the 1970s, and Europe has directly banned the import of meat from Southeast Asia. Without the cheap meat supply from Southeast Asia, how could CFC restaurants expand rapidly in Europe?
"From now on, all meat and grain in Europe will be purchased from the United States, Canada and Latin America?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked.
"Yes, boss, Europe is closer to America, and sea transportation is also very convenient.
We may have to choose another country every week to establish a breeding base and transport meat from the Americas to supply the European market, especially Latin America. The cost is not much higher than in Southeast Asia.
It is difficult to meet the huge market demand in Europe by relying solely on the farms in West Germany, and the risk of placing the farms in one country is too high."
Zhang Zhonghua pinched his eyebrows and said worriedly: "Even if we build another large-scale breeding farm in Latin America to supply Europe, it won't be possible in a short time. It will take at least a year. It's really
It’s so bad!!!”
It takes at least half a year to build a large-scale breeding farm, and it also takes a long time to cultivate and hatch white-feathered chickens.
It was completed in half a year. This is because the people in Asia, especially East Asia, are hardworking and hardworking, so they can achieve this speed. Zhang Zhonghua, a person from North and South America, really cannot praise him.
Canada, a North American country, has high costs, and Zhang Zhonghua doesn't dare to go to Mexico. Latin America is rich in products, and it is indeed the country's back garden. The country always makes trouble there.
"Let's do this. Let's expand the number of restaurants in Europe first.
If we reduce the supply of beef burgers by appropriately reducing chicken burgers, our business will not be greatly affected. We will give priority to the British market, where the consumption power is the highest in Europe."
While the two were discussing countermeasures, the general manager of Yuhuang Animal Husbandry Company also hurried to Zhang Zhonghua's office.
As soon as he entered the office, he saw Zheng Juan in the office, and then he understood that since Zheng Juan was here, the boss already knew that he wanted to tell the news. He had traveled far from Tianshuiwei, so he was still a step late.
"Are you here because of changes in purchasing policies in Japan and Europe?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked.
"Yes, President, it seems that we have to adopt the backup plan we made before and choose a new breeding farm."
The manager of Yuhuang Animal Husbandry said to Zhang Zhonghua.
"Well, since we are going to build large-scale breeding farms in Latin America, other plans must also make certain changes. If we want to enter, we must enter thoroughly. CFC restaurants, Carrefour, and convenience stores must also enter the North and South American markets in advance.
What are the catering company’s plans and which country are you planning to enter first?”
Zhang Zhonghua asked.
"Boss, we plan to enter the Mexican market this year and expand in both directions from Mexico to the north and south.
Now that most of the national football teams are in Mexico and the World Cup is about to start, we can use this opportunity to advertise and show our face to the world first, and then it will be much more convenient to enter the Americas."
After listening to Zheng Juan's words, Zhang Zhonghua fell into thinking. In his opinion, Latin America is full of poor people, that is, Brazil, Peru, and Chile are slightly richer. It is estimated that a thousand or hundreds of CFC restaurants will be enough to support the sky.
As for the Ugly Country? Their territory is too vast and sparsely populated, so transportation costs are relatively high. Not to mention the skyrocketing oil price in a few years, transportation costs will further increase...
"Then first build a breeding farm in Brazil to supply Europe and South America. If we also build one in Texas, we can choose it in Texas, which borders Mexico. It will supply Europe first. Later, when CFC enters the country, we can supply it.
Ugly country."
Zhang Zhonghua remembered that although Brazil had also experienced turmoil, it did not have a great impact on ordinary people's lives, so he chose Brazil for the breeding farm.
"Okay boss, Brazil has a good climate and is uniquely suited to start a breeding farm. Texas over there in the U.S. is also the country's agricultural and livestock continent.
Land purchase in Brazil is very cheap, and labor costs are relatively low, but land prices in Texas are relatively expensive, and property taxes have to be paid every year, so we may have to rent it for the time being."
"Both places chosen by the boss are good, but the most suitable area for building a breeding farm is Australia. Unfortunately, the population there is too small.
Not only is the population small, but the population is also concentrated, and most of them live near the Pacific coast. The side near the Indian Ocean is almost deserted. If you want to build a breeding farm close to the inland, you need to build a lot of supporting facilities."
"Just do what you want. The land in Texas can be rented and used first. The breeding farms can take the lead. Two hundred stores in Mexico are enough. The country is very poor and there is really no profit to be made."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
"Understood, according to the original plan, after the mission in Mexico is completed, we will go south and north at the same time.
South America is richer in Peru, Chile and Brazil. Peru and Chile are rich in copper and iron ores, and Brazil is rich in iron ores.
Ugly country, we plan to first enter the California region in the west, then enter the developed eastern region to the New York and Washington region, and then develop from east to west toward the center to finally complete the Victory Conference, but this development may take a long time."
Zheng Juan introduced.
"Don't be afraid of it taking a long time. Chou Country is the base camp of knife sellers. We need to fight with it on the bayonet. Don't be anxious and work slowly and steadily. Our CFC will also start to enter the base camp of knife sellers to compete directly. We must make local improvements.
Work. But before that, we still need to vigorously recruit talents. There is no need to worry because the country’s territory is too large.”
Zhang Zhonghua thought for a while,
Then he ordered.
"Boss, what about the decoration of the store?"
Zheng Juan asked with a smile, CFC's development cannot be separated from the construction team, and now its construction teams are basically in Europe.
Zheng Juan's words reminded Zhang Zhonghua of the efficiency of workers in Chou Country.
In this regard, Zhang Zhonghua was also very helpless. In the end, he had to be self-sufficient. Most of the work done by the old gangsters was too unreliable.
However, white people from Ugly countries do not know how to engage in the decoration industry, so they still have to recruit a group of decoration workers.
"Recruit workers in various places where the Hot Summer people live in the Ugly Country. Let's count as many as there are. Anyway, there is no need to worry in the Ugly Country. If there are not enough workers in the Hot Summer Country, we can recruit Hispanics or Asian workers from other countries. They are better than anything else.
Lao Hei is diligent."
Zhang Zhonghua said to Zheng Juan with helplessness and pain.
"Okay, boss."
After the two left, Zhang Zhonghua also breathed a long sigh of relief. The originally good development situation was indeed completely disrupted due to European policies, and the development plan of CFC Restaurant in Europe was completely disrupted.
