Wang Bing and Mo Yu came together, and the others left first, entrusting the two of them to represent all the small shareholders to discuss the development plan for 1992.
As expected
According to the unanimous opinions of the small shareholders, they are unanimously opposed to the construction of high-rise commercial buildings.
Not only is it a waste of money, but there are no immediate results.
"There is no way. If you want to acquire land in the core business district, you must abide by the government's unified planning and the construction must meet the requirements of the government's unified planning. High-rise commercial buildings must be built, otherwise you will not get the land."
Wang Yaocheng spread his hands and looked very distressed:
If you have a way to change the plan, of course I would be happy to see it happen and welcome it with both hands.
Wang Bing looked at White Glove Mo Yu. He knew that Wang Yaocheng was telling the truth, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Such a big thing, with so many eyes watching it from top to bottom in the provincial capital city of Jinling, it is impossible to do anything about it.
Once the land is obtained, if a high-rise commercial building is not built, why not just pile it up with cardboard?
Who dares to change city planning?
That's really a fool's errand. It's obviously a big deal for others to catch. No one dares to think about it.
But when you consider that the total investment will reach 740 million, the actual funds used to build the second Carrefour supermarket will not exceed 100 million.
The other massive amounts of real money would be used to build some kind of high-rise commercial building in Laoshizi, which made him feel sick.
How much can I rent a 500-yuan commercial building?
The total cost is only a few hundred thousand yuan. After all these commercial buildings are built, with an investment of more than 600 million, the rental income will not exceed 30 million, which is not enough to pay bank interest. Everyone can calculate this account.
How can small shareholders be willing to do a business that is obviously losing money?
Wang Yaocheng smiled and said nothing:
I'll tell you...
After the Prime Minister's speech during his southern tour this year, there was a nationwide craze for going overseas. Commercial building rents soared like a rocket, with adjustments being made almost every few months.
I'll tell you...
The price of real estate in these golden areas will make it impossible to buy a square meter for 200,000 yuan in the future. The powerful PetroChina will have to go to the suburbs to build buildings, and it will be difficult to find a house in the golden areas.
I'll tell you...
Now I have invested 700 million yuan in building fixed assets. In a few years, I can easily lend 10 billion yuan based on this.
I'll tell you...
Land in Xinjie, the first commercial district, is at a premium. From now on, the annual rent for a small shop of more than ten square meters will be as high as more than 200,000 yuan, and it will only be rented but not sold.
Mo Yu played the role of the invisible man very well. Only Wang Bing came forward during the conversation. He coughed twice and said:
“I used to think that I was a particular person, but when things get tough, I can’t help but become vulgar.
Several of us small shareholders have just discussed it for a while and feel that we cannot afford the huge construction funds, and even if we spend part of it from our profits, it is not cost-effective."
"What do you mean?"
“We discussed two options:
First, we don’t have much money, so we hope not to invest in the entire expansion plan, but only in the Carrefour Supermarket Xinjiekou store and the New Model Road store. The business premises will still be leased. Even if the price is higher, it can be deducted from the cost.
Second, if the previous plan is unrealistic, we hope to extract profits from Carrefour supermarkets and use them for other businesses."
"oh!"
Wang Yaocheng raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Are you talking about opening a separate supermarket and operating it independently?"
This question was very straightforward, and it hit the hearts of Wang Bing and others at once, and their old faces turned red with embarrassment.
After thinking for a moment, he still nodded.
Now that you have money, power and capital, running a supermarket doesn’t seem that complicated, so why can’t you do it yourself?
Occupying a large area of land in the city, government planning must put forward certain requirements, so it would be better to open a smaller supermarket.
It doesn’t matter how big the scale is, you can just open more stores, and the investment in renting a store will be much smaller.
This is simply a difference in vision, resulting in differences in business philosophy.
"That's it!"
Wang Yaocheng tapped the table with his slender fingers, pondered for a moment and said: "Everyone is working well together. I leave the choice to you. You can choose the first or second option. Pacific Company will do its best."
Cooperate.
According to the shareholder dividend plan, dividends should not be distributed until the end of the year.
If you are in urgent need of funds, I can distribute shareholder dividends at the half-year settlement. This is the maximum capacity I can provide.
One point I want to make particularly clear is:
The Carrefour supermarket brand is 100% unique to me. If it is used without authorization, everyone will have to take it to court."
Wang Yaocheng is a bachelor, and the profit-making effect of the supermarket will soon spread to other competitors. Instead of doing this, it is better to be more generous.
As long as you take advantage of this blank period and seize the most generous profits.
"No, I will never do this. The Carrefour supermarket brand must not be used. Wouldn't that be an open robbery? I will never do such a thing."
Wang Bing looked at Wang Yaocheng with some shame and said, "I, Wang Bing, will bear in mind the favor you show me this time."
Wang Yaocheng calmly stretched out two fingers, meaning:
You two adults have not repaid the favor.
Mo Yu, who was sitting on the side, smiled and finally spoke: "Don't worry, we will keep it in our hearts."
After seeing the two of them off, Wang Yaocheng took a sip of tea and couldn't help but smile, very happily.
With Carrefour Supermarket's strong ability to earn money, there is no problem in supporting the entire development plan. He plans to complete the commercial facilities in Xinjiekou in four to five years.
You can first build a shopping mall for business and put it into use. As for high-rise commercial buildings, just build them slowly. If you don't make it in three years, you will make it in four years, and if you don't make it in four years, you will make it in five years. Anyway, there is no need to rush.
At least in 1992, Carrefour Supermarket will be one of the unshakable leaders in the retail industry in Jinling City, alongside the two major business giants in the north and the south.
As its influence expands, it will even attract potential customers from surrounding cities to experience this sales method that is different from department stores. It may even become a must-visit place for people who come to the provincial capital for business, with the same status as a tourist attraction.
essentially
This will be of great benefit to the reputation of the Carrefour supermarket brand and the development of prefecture-level cities.
According to the current development momentum, Carrefour Supermarket's annual gross profit of 200 million yuan is not a myth, but a realistic goal that can be achieved.
Calculated based on the total 18% of the shares owned by the small shareholders, excluding rent and supermarket investment costs, the dividend is still more than 30 million yuan.
No wonder they want to do it themselves, money and silk are so attractive!
As small shareholders, although they are jealous of the huge sales returns lying in their accounts, they have no power to get even a cent of it.
According to the general settlement period of more than two months in Carrefour supermarkets, the funds accumulated on a rolling basis amount to hundreds of millions.
As long as Carrefour supermarket does not close down for a day, Wang Yaocheng can use this money for free and become a cash cow that transmits funds without any compromise.
This was also Wang Yaocheng's confidence to launch a huge investment plan. Carrefour Supermarket and Pacific Appliances Mall continuously supplied ammunition to help him expand his territory.
None of the partners is stupid, so they naturally understand the twists and turns involved.
two days later
Wang Bing chose option two, and will withdraw his own dividends at the end of April and operate it alone.
Others chose option one, which was to pay dividends at the end of April and continue to invest in the subsequent expansion of Carrefour supermarket operations.
Wang Yaocheng is not surprised by their choices. Mo Yu, He Daze, Qin Xiaoyan and Qian Tingting either don't have the time or energy, or they have no interest. It's good to make money just lying around.
Now
He was facing the final exam of his freshman semester and was working hard to make progress with his books in hand every day. He was not in the mood to pay attention to this matter at all.
