Shibuya District, on the basketball court in the courtyard of Chu Huan's villa.
Chu Huan was wearing sportswear and a pair of the latest Nike basketball shoes. This pair of basketball shoes was endorsed by Dr. J Irving, the current star of the B League and the Digital Team.
Dr. J, as the first-generation trapeze player, although he is also a superstar, his commercial value is still not comparable to that of the real trapeze artist who came later.
"Above Heaven"
Nike has now entered the basketball shoe market and has invited many B stars to serve as spokespersons, including not only Dr. J. Irving of the Digital Team, but also Kareem Abdul-Jabbar of the Lakers.
Compared with later generations of endorsement contracts that often cost tens of millions and included company shares, the endorsement contracts of this era are much simpler.
Today's popular stars like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Dr. J Irving have endorsement contracts of only US$30,000 per year, but they happily signed them.
On the court, Chu Huan was playing one-on-one with Gao Kai. It was obvious that Gao Kai's physical fitness was far superior to that of Chu Huan, but he was not as technically proficient as Chu Huan.
Chu Huan passed Gao Kai with a crotch. Just when Chu Huan was about to lay up, he heard the whistling wind behind his ears. Chu Huan knew that Gao Kai, the bastard, wanted to cover him.
In an instant, Chu Huan's layup turned into a pull rod. With a flick of his right wrist, the basketball flew out of his hand.
brush!
When the basketball hit the net, Chu Huan was directly hit by Gao Kai who failed to control his body and fell to the ground.
"Chairman, are you okay?"
After landing, Gao Kai hurriedly came to Chu Huan and wanted to help Chu Huan up.
Chu Huan just sat on the ground, waved his hands, and said, "It's okay. Fortunately, I didn't waste my body during this period, otherwise I would have really put you at risk!"
Gao Kai chuckled, and sat in front of Chu Huan, saying, "I have seen many rich people and their second generations in Japan in the past two years, but none of them are in good health like you, Chairman."
!”
Chu Huan laughed and said, "Gao Kai, do you know why I want to exercise?"
Gao Kai said of course, "Do you naturally want to have a good body if you exercise?"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "You are right to say that, but more importantly, only with a good body can I enjoy the wonderful life that my wealth has brought me. Otherwise, I will make money but lose my life."
,Then what am I doing!”
Gao Kai thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Chairman, you are right!"
Chu Huan waved, and Hanaoka Qiying, who had been watching the situation here, brought two bottles of Coke to Chu Huan and Gao Kai.
After Chu Huan took a sip of Coke, she burped comfortably and said, "Do you like the wedding gift?"
Gao Kai got married last year, and the bride was a Japanese. If someone had told Gao Kai a few years ago that he would marry a Japanese woman, Gao Kai would definitely not believe it.
But now, it’s no longer enough not to believe it. People are already married, and they are still married by their sons.
When Gao Kai got married, Chu Huan did not come over, but asked Tanaka Anhui to give Gao Kai a gift on his behalf.
"I like it, thank you, Chairman, but this gift is a bit too big. I deserve it!" Gao Kairen said seriously.
The wedding gift that Chu Huan gave to Gao Kai was very tacky, but it was also useful. It was a villa in Osaka, Japan. Gao Kai had his own residence in Tokyo, and it was a villa. Chu Huan couldn't afford to give it to him in Tokyo.
One set.
Chu Huan smiled and waved his hands and said, "There is nothing to be ashamed of. This is what you deserve for working in Tokyo! I just didn't expect that your kid is also an expansion maniac!"
The Japanese Pachinko store that ** is responsible for started business almost at the same time as the chain of game arcades that Gao Kai is responsible for. There are only 100 pachinko stores in the chain now, but the chain of game arcades that Gao Kai is responsible for already has 300.
Got it!
What does 300 game chain stores mean?
This means that each company has at least 200 machines, which is 60,000 machines. For these 60,000 machines, excluding all expenses and shares with other partners, as well as the working capital left by Chu Huan for Gao Kai, last year
It has been expanding at a rapid pace in one year, so I won’t go into details.
If Gaokai does not continue to expand this year, based on the calculation of these 300 chain game arcades, it will bring at least 2.5 billion US dollars to Chu Huan this year!
It was said before that Langyan Games makes money, but in fact it is the chain game arcades that really make money!
In this era when arcades are just emerging, Gao Kai can easily form a monopoly on chain arcade game halls in Japan with the support of Langyan Games.
"It is only with the support of Mr. Bao that I can achieve this goal. Without Mr. Bao's support, it would be impossible!"
Gao Kai preached humbly.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "No need to be modest. Azu has already made a document about your development process and reported it to me. I know how much hardship you suffered during this process."
With the expansion of the Arcade Game Hall chain in Japan, many people have seen the profits of this industry. Just like the pachinko shop, such an industry is bound to attract the attention of the community.
Especially in the middle and later stages, Gao Kai would be assassinated almost every few days. If he hadn't been a military king himself and there were many brothers like him around him, Chu Huan should have found someone at this time.
Burn paper for Gao Kai!
Gao Kai hurriedly said, "It's not hard at all. Compared with the life before, this is already much better!"
Chu Huan said, "What I just said is for myself and for you. The dividends given to you by chain arcade arcades every year are at least 20 million US dollars. Now you are a rich man regardless of age."
I am now married, my wife is married, and my child is pregnant. The life I had before can no longer continue, so this year I decided to temporarily stop the expansion of the arcade arcade chain."
After hearing this, Gao Kai suddenly became a little panicked and said, "Chairman, my matter is really fine. It is impossible for people from those Japanese associations to have any impact on us?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Huan shook his head and said, "I told ** before, now that you are porcelain, you can't just fight and kill people from those societies. This year
Although I won't let you expand, I don't want you to do nothing, take some profits, and distribute them to those people, just like Jeyin Sarno in North America. Don't worry about sharing our interests, as long as you
Once these groups are established, you won’t have to worry about anyone causing trouble for you when you continue to expand in the future.
In Japan, after all, we belong to outsiders. Although you have been contacting people on the Japanese officialdom, those societies have been operating in Japan for so many years, and they are inextricably linked with people on the Japanese officialdom.
.
So don’t think that your relationship with them is the best. Those people only have a good relationship with the money we take out.
If there are Japanese societies in the future that can come up with funds equivalent to yours, they are likely to become friends of those societies. Therefore, your task in Japan is not to fight and kill, but to accumulate more and have a wider scope.
Wide network of contacts!
As for chain arcade arcades, you shouldn’t take them too seriously. With the advent of the Famicom, I concluded that by the mid-to-late 1980s, chain arcade arcades will inevitably lose their existing profits.”
Chu Huan now told Gao Kai everything he had not told Jeyin Sarno before.
Gao Kai is now married to a Japanese wife and will have children here in the future. It is obvious that from now on, Gao Kai's main position will only be Japan.
That's why Chu Huan told Gao Kai so much at this time.
After Gao Kai heard this, he was a little stunned. Nowadays, arcade games have just begun to take off, but Chu Huan has already determined that by the mid-to-late 1980s, arcade games will definitely begin to decline.
With such a forward-looking gaze, if someone else told Gao Kai this, Gao Kai would definitely sneer at it, but now that Chu Huan said it, Gao Kai would naturally not listen.
"The decline of arcade games is only relative to the current period. The profit itself is still very considerable. If you are interested in this industry by then, I can sell you some shares in this business!"
Chu Huan released another bombshell to Gao Kai.
In fact, this was a decision made by Chu Huan in order to continue to win people's hearts.
Chu Huan certainly has no doubts about Gao Kai's current loyalty, but people's hearts can change. Chu Huan would not believe it if he relied solely on his current loyalty to determine what will happen in the next ten or even twenty years.
Therefore, only by attracting more interests will these people become more interested in themselves and their business under the trend of interests!
Gao Kai hurriedly said, "Chairman, I have never thought about taking shares in the company!"
Chu Huan said, "I have already made a decision on this matter. The time is set in 1985. At that time, I will sell you 20 shares of the company at a price lower than half of the market. It can be regarded as a token of gratitude to you for so many years."
The company’s contribution!”
"Chairman!" Gao Kai looked at Chu Huan excitedly.
"Okay, this matter has been settled. But depending on the company's situation this year, just do what I say!"
Chu Huan didn't want to say anything more about this matter.
Arcade games did begin to decline in the mid-to-late 1980s, but their profitability was definitely better than that of many people.
When the time comes, Chu Huan will not only sell these shares to Gao Kai, but also a large part of them to Bao Tianming and others. The reason is the same. They cannot always feel that they are just workers.
Of course, it can be regarded as a reward for them to work for them all these years.
"Would you like another one?"
Chu Huan had already stood up with the basketball at this time, looked at Gao Kai with a smile and asked.
"Okay, this time I will definitely be able to steal your ball, Chairman!" Gao Kai also said excitedly at this time.
Chu Huan smiled and continued serving!
On this day, Zhu Xiaozhao arrived in Tokyo before Chen Haichao, and was then taken to Chu Huan's villa by Wu Shuhan.
"Brother Huan!"
After Zhu Xiaozhao saw Chu Huan, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he boldly gave him a hug.
"It hasn't been long since we separated, but you've become a lot more courageous, haven't you?"
Chu Huan grabbed Zhu Xiaozhao's hand and sat on the sofa.
During the New Year, Zhu Xiaozhao spent time at No. 12, Mount Galley Road. However, during the New Year, the two of them had no time to discuss matters in Japan.
"Brother Huan, can I tell you about the situation in Japan?"
Zhu Xiaozhao had just sat down and took out documents from his bag, preparing to tell Chu Huan about Yunhai Chain's situation in Japan.
Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "Don't be so anxious. You have just arrived and have been sitting for such a long time. Take a good bath in the hot spring and relax. Don't think about work every day!"
Zhu Xiaozhao's face turned red and he whispered, "I know!"
Seeing Zhu Xiaozhao like this, Wu Shuhan couldn't help but joked, "Sister Xiaozhao, you are not as mysterious or as resolute as the media said!"
Even though Zhu Xiaozhao and the Yunhai chain have kept a very low profile, the Yunhai convenience stores that can be seen everywhere in Hong Kong have still successfully attracted the attention of the media in Hong Kong to Zhu Xiaozhao.
It's just that Zhu Xiaozhao never accepts interviews, and rarely allows company executives to be interviewed. Therefore, after a period of speculation about Zhu Xiaozhao's situation, the media in Xiangjiang found that there was indeed nothing to hype, and finally gave up.
.
However, based on the expansion of Yunhai Chain and Zhu Xiaozhao's mystery, the media in Xiangjiang labeled Zhu Xiaozhao as mysterious and resolute.
But no matter what, after so many years of managing Yunhai Chain, Zhu Xiaozhao is no longer the person who blushed when talking to strangers. She only maintains her current appearance when she is still in front of Chu Huan.
, when treating other people
"You are still talking about me, but the media has said that you are now the most beautiful secretary in Hong Kong!"
When Wu Shuhan heard Zhu Xiaozhao's counterattack, she was temporarily speechless.
The relationship between Chu Huan and Wu Shuhan cannot be concealed, so the fact that Wu Shuhan became Chu Huan's woman as Chu Huan's secretary is still very interesting to the media in Xiangjiang, so Wu Shuhan also has the title of the most beautiful secretary!
After the two joked with each other, Chu Huan took Zhu Xiaozhao and Wu Shuhan to the hot spring of the villa and started taking a bath!
Before, it was Tanaka Anhui and Hanaoka Nanao who accompanied Chu Huan in the bath. Now it is Wu Shuhan and Zhu Xiaozhao accompanying her in the bath. Each has its own merits and different styles!
But what is certain is that Chu Huan will definitely enjoy it in the end!
After Zhu Xiaozhao had a good rest in the villa for a day, he followed Chu Huan to the study room and began to report on the situation of Yunhai Chain in Japan.
"Brother Haichao hasn't come yet?"
Before Zhu Xiaozhao reported, he asked Chu Huan about Chen Haichao's situation.
"There is something delayed over there in Europe. There are some quality issues with the newly shipped goods. Haichao is dealing with this matter over there. They just called me yesterday and said it would be two days later!"
Chu Huan also said helplessly.
It is said that it is a quality problem, but in fact it is because Jiuzhou's sales in Europe are a bit too hot, which has caused some dissatisfaction among local companies, and then concocted this quality problem.
Chu Huan had arranged for Ma Jizu to help Chen Haichao in this matter. Ma Jizu also heard about this matter. When Chu Huan called him, he said it was not a big problem!
With Ma Jizu's guarantee, Chu Huan has nothing to worry about!
"So that's it!" Zhu Xiaozhao nodded first, and then said, "Brother Huan, let me tell you about Yunhai Group's situation in Japan first!"
"Yeah!" Chu Huan nodded.
Although Chu Huan always likes to call Yunhai the Yunhai chain, in fact, Yunhai has already become a large consortium!
"The Yunhai Group now has five sections in Japan: Yunhai convenience stores, PARKnSHOP supermarkets, Watsons distilled water, Yunhai logistics, and Yunhai warehousing."
There is not much to say about Unkai Convenience Store. There are now 4,500 chain stores in Japan. There were 4,000 chain stores before. The remaining 500 stores have been expanded over the past year, but they will not be like those that just started to lay out the Japanese retail market.
It was so crazy back then!
Baijia Supermarket was bought by Zhu Xiaozhao from Hehe International. It has now begun to expand in Japan. However, since it is a new entry into the Japanese market, it is still limited to a few large cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama, and Nagoya.
contains.
"According to the company's operations last year, in 1977 the entire Yunhai Group created a profit of 3 billion Hong Kong dollars in Japan, which is 100 million yen!"
Finally, Zhu Xiaozhao reported a number to Chu Huan.
Among them, 20.7 billion Hong Kong dollars were created by Yunhai convenience stores in Japan, and the remaining 9.3 billion Hong Kong dollars were created by the other four items.
The last time Chu Huan discussed Yunhai Group with Zhu Xiaozhao, he had already mentioned to Zhu Xiaozhao that Yunhai Logistics and Yunhai Warehousing, in addition to serving Yunhai convenience stores and PARKnSHOP supermarkets, also need to complete the integration with other companies to form their own hematopoietic capabilities.
.
And this matter is what Yunhai Group was doing throughout last year.
The success of convenience stores, logistics, and warehousing are complementary to each other. The emergence of Yunhai convenience stores can ensure that Yunhai Logistics and Yunhai warehousing do not have to worry about their operating costs at the beginning of their establishment. They can even rely on Yunhai convenience stores.
The sales network quickly opened up the market in Japan.
When these two companies grow up, the operating costs of Yunhai convenience stores will be reduced, and this will ensure that the goods in Yunhai convenience stores are cheaper and fresher than those in other convenience stores!
"Although the development of Unkai convenience stores in Japan is relatively smooth now, 7-11 has raised a sum of funds from somewhere and is expanding rapidly. It is obviously aimed at Unkai convenience stores.
In addition, the development of PARKnSHOP supermarkets in Japan is not very smooth. The supermarkets in Japan were already very mature before we came in. It is also very difficult to compete for customers in the original supermarkets in Japan.
!”
After Zhu Xiaozhao told Chu Huan about the company's profits, he also told Chu Huan about the difficulties the company is facing now!
"In addition, the problems encountered by Watsons distilled water in Japan are similar to those encountered by supermarkets. There are already mature brands here. We now want to introduce Watsons distilled water into the Japanese market.
It relies on the advantages of Yunhai convenience stores and the investment in advertising. However, according to the company's calculations, this investment ratio is unhealthy.
As for Yunhai Logistics and Yunhai Warehousing, the situation is better. In these two industries, there is currently no one in Japan that can compete with us!"
Chu Huan listened quietly to Zhu Xiaozhao's description and said, "The funds of 7-11 are definitely not created out of thin air. They either recruited more shareholders or obtained loans from banks. I don't believe they will be like Yunhai Convenience Store.
With financial support like mine!”
After hearing this, Zhu Xiaozhao nodded and said, "That's for sure."
The development of Yunhai Convenience Store can be said to be rare in the entire world business history. From the beginning of Yunhai Convenience Store, Chu Huan not only did not transfer any funds from Yunhai Group, but even continued to increase investment.
It can be said that regardless of cost, Yunhai Group has been promoted to its current scale.
Normal business investments are different. They definitely require both short-term and long-term benefits. In addition, as the number of financing increases, the company's management will have less and less say.
There are even many investors who will leave the market with their profits at a certain stage.
This will inevitably have an impact on the company's development.
But none of this exists here at Yunhai Group.
"Since their money is not their own, it's easy to handle. Our disadvantage in Japan is that we are not a local enterprise, and at the same time we entered this market when these industries are becoming increasingly mature, so we need to
Develop our advantages to the maximum!”
Chu Huan spoke in a deep voice.
Zhu Xiaozhao knew that Chu Huan already had an idea, but he wanted to see if what he thought was the same as Chu Huan's, so he tentatively asked, "Brother Huan, do you mean to use our experience in warehousing and logistics?"
advantage, and start a price war with these Japanese retailers?”
Chu Huan nodded and said, "Yes, now with the advantage of Yunhai convenience store, it is impossible for Japanese suppliers to make trouble with us. Since we don't have to worry about the supply of goods, let's start a price war. 7-11
If they want to compete with us for the market, they must increase investment and engage in a price war with us, otherwise they will not be able to seize the market.
But their development is different from ours, and the cash and advantages they hold are not as good as ours. As long as we can persist in this price war, the capital behind 7-11 will inevitably exit at a certain stage. In this case,
We have no rivals in the convenience store industry. It can be said that we have monopolized the entire convenience store market in Japan.
In addition, this strategy can also be used in supermarkets. The people who shop in supermarkets are basically teacher nurses. They may have been used to going to the supermarkets they go to now, but as long as our products are better than those in those supermarkets,
If it’s cheap, then those maids won’t care about their own habits and will immediately turn to us to spend money.”
Price war has always been the only way to win competition in the retail industry!
Let’s not talk about this period, let’s talk about what everyone is familiar with. The reason why Double 11 was so popular was because the goods on that day were cheap.
Several money-burning wars on the Chinese Internet, thousands of group wars, e-commerce wars, online ride-hailing wars, etc., can actually be classified into the retail industry. Do they cost money?
fee!
But the effect is really good. Those who cannot afford to burn money will withdraw from the game, and those who win in the end will formulate industry rules, and then all the money burned before will be able to reap the benefits from consumers!
The benefits of burning money for physical stores like Yunhai Convenience Store and Parknshop Supermarket are even greater. They don’t have to worry about how to make profits in the later period. Then after they burn their opponents to death, they can formulate industry rules.
It also represents countless benefits.
Just the income from a listing fee can allow them to obtain more benefits.
"As for distilled water, I think the plan we made before can be carried out!" Chu Huan said to Zhu Xiaozhao.
Zhu Xiaozhao's eyes lit up and he asked, "Brother Huan, do you mean to develop our own mineral water and beverages?"
Chu Huan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, distilled water is always a niche market. Even if you get it, there are not many benefits, but mineral water and beverages are different. They can open up more commercial markets for the Watsons brand.
, and we have the nuclear weapon Yunhai Convenience Store in our hands. As long as it operates well, this brand will definitely become bigger and stronger in our hands!"
Zhu Xiaozhao asked, "Which drink should we start with?"
“Tea drinks!”
Chu Huan has already had the idea in his mind that tea drinks can be said to have opened another door to the beverage market. Before this, the beverage market was more concentrated on carbonated drinks, and few people studied tea drinks and other non-toxic drinks.
Carbonated drinks!
Nowadays, carbonated drinks in the world are basically monopolized by Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola, and it is very difficult to enter. However, tea drinks are different. At this time, this market is still a market that no one pays attention to.
As long as he can gain a foothold in the non-carbonated beverage market, Chu Huan will have the confidence to compete with Coca-Cola and PepsiCo for the carbonated beverage market.
Chu Huan had already explained to Zhu Xiaozhao what tea drinks were, so Zhu Xiaozhao had nothing to ask about it.
"After I return to Japan, I will immediately recruit talents in Xiangjiang and start research."
Chu Huan nodded slightly, "But this matter must be kept secret. No one can know about it before the product is launched on the market!"
Zhu Xiaozhao nodded and said, "Understood!"
After all these things were explained clearly, Zhu Xiaozhao said to Chu Huan, "Brother Huan, since we are now preparing to fight a price war here, will our plan to enter the Japanese department store market have to be postponed for a while?"
Chu Huan shook his head and said, "No, one battle will determine the country. The most important thing for Yunhai Group this year is to completely win over the Japanese retail market. As for the development of Southeast Asia, it can slow down!"
After Zhu Xiaozhao thought for a moment, he said, "Okay!"
Then the two began to discuss how to let Yunhai's department store chain enter the Japanese market.
By the time the two of them finished their discussion, it was already dark, and Tanaka Yashui came in to let them have dinner.
While eating, Wu Shuhan told Chu Huan, "Boss, when you were discussing things with Sister Xiaozhao, Ichiro Isoda called and invited you to go to Osaka!"
