Xiao Qi invited Nitta Yong to dinner in a Japanese restaurant.
Although Xiao Qi didn't like cold food very much, out of respect for his subordinates' thoughts, he still held the banquet in a Japanese restaurant.
In today's China, there are Japanese restaurants all over the country. Some are just fakes, while others are opened by genuine Japanese.
In fact, the Japanese do not have the same food habits as the Chinese. When they go outside, if there is a Japanese restaurant, they will not choose other places. This can be seen as a kind of caution, which comes from the self-esteem of the island people.
Protection.
The Japanese restaurant Xiao Qi chose is located next to the US Consulate. It is on a commercial building and does not face the street. However, because it has very authentic Japanese food, many Japanese people living in Chengdu like it.
Come here to eat.
Listening to the Japanese sounds outside the tatami room from time to time, Isamu Nitta felt very relaxed.
But his attitude was always respectful, and he always used honorifics when talking to Xiao Qi, fully demonstrating Japanese etiquette.
"If you, Chairman, have no other instructions, I think we should be able to officially start opening the Lymart store in China in February next year, after the Spring Festival in China." Nitta Yong said seriously, "Specific details
I have written all the matters in this plan, please take a look."
While eating, Isamu Nitta also brought a large leather bag, and the document he took out was at least ten centimeters thick and contained at least hundreds of pages.
In fact, for the specific steps of Lymart Huaguo Branch, Nitta Yong would carefully send an email to the boss every step of the way, firstly to report the progress to Xiao Qi, and secondly to prevent Xiao Qi from thinking that they have monopolized power.
.
Therefore, Xiao Qi is well aware of the progress of Lymart, a fan, and now he is just taking a comprehensive look at it.
"What plans and requirements you have, let's talk about them now." Xiao Qi put the documents aside and said harmoniously.
When Nitta Yong came to Chengdu, he was definitely not talking about the plan alone, but was asking Xiao Qi for more support when preparing to implement the plan.
After Xiao Qi purchased Ami Lymart, he ordered all Ami Lymart stores to be developed by purchasing stores.
In the past, if you could buy the shops, you could buy them, and if you couldn't, you could continue to rent them, but in the future, you will always buy them.
Anyway, buying a store to operate will greatly reduce the financial pressure in the future, and even if you take a step back and say that the business is not going well in the future, you can get a lot of circulating funds by selling some stores to help Lymart survive.
Difficulties.
Nitta Yong and other senior executives of Lymart welcomed Xiao Qi's order with both hands.
If you have money, who wouldn’t want to own all the stores?
There is no need to worry about the lease term and price, and you can develop more flexibly.
The only thing that is a bit wasted is money. In the past, leasing shops allowed more funds to be used for development and expansion. Buying so many new and old stores will naturally consume too much money.
But in front of Xiao Qi, all money issues are no longer a problem.
Xiao Qi's assets of 700 billion US dollars alone are enough to overlook most companies, not to mention that the money Xiao Qi can control is actually several times more than his property.
Therefore, let alone one A-level fan of Lymart, even if there are ten A-level fans of Lymart, Xiao Qi's funds are more than enough to support development.
However, if Lymart wants to develop, it is definitely not just about buying a store and everything will be fine.
The real power of a good enterprise lies in its management. Once it is managed well, even a rented shop can make a lot of money. Once it is not managed well, even mountains and seas of wealth will be completely lost.
What Isamu Nitta values more is actually the hard work of Lymart itself.
Hearing Xiao Qi say this, Nitta Yong was not polite, "A fan of Lymart needs money and connections. We have budgeted. If we are in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Wei, Chongqing, Lin'an, Suzhou, Jinling,
If the first batch of businesses are launched in the 15 cities of Rongcheng, Wuhan, Quancheng, Luoshang, Changsha and Yunming, they will need at least 80 billion yuan in start-up capital.
First, a total of 1,500 stores are planned to be opened in 15 cities in the first wave, so the cost of store purchase and decoration is about 45 billion; second, logistics bases are established, divided into North China, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, the Pearl River Delta, Central China, and Southwest China.
For the five major areas, the funds for this part are about 5 billion; the third, the supplier's purchase payment preparation, is 30 billion yuan; the fourth, employee salaries, water and electricity, taxes and administrative expenses, is expected to be prepared for one year, 10 billion
.
In terms of connections, although we are a foreign-funded enterprise and have the background of Fairy Company, if we want to do business in China, we must have support and preferential treatment from the government. At least we need them to promote us a lot, so that we can compete in the fiercely competitive market.
We have established a firm foothold in the convenience store industry and are developing rapidly.”
Xiao Qi, a fan of Lymart, spent US$5 billion to buy it, and another US$7.5 billion to acquire assets such as storefronts. Now its controlling shareholder is Mingxiang Holdings, which holds 98% of the stock, and 2% is reserved for the company's management.
Mingxiang Holdings is a company registered in the Virgin Islands and is not a Chinese company, so it is naturally foreign-owned.
China has preferential treatment for foreign-invested enterprises, especially large companies with very strong branding capabilities such as Lymart. Naturally, everyone wants to see investing in China, so there will be no shortage of normal discounts.
However, Isamu Nitta hopes to receive more care, such as support in taxation, simplified procedures, community arrangements, etc. The difference between a more positive attitude and a more lazy attitude is huge.
As for the money issue, that's no problem. 80 billion yuan is only over 10 billion US dollars. Xiao Qi's cash flow exceeds 600 billion US dollars. He can even give it to Lymart in Japanese yen.
Moreover, after continued investment this time, the management's shares will be reduced to about 1.26%, which can be said to be very, very small, and Xiao Qi is very happy to do this.
Nitta Isamu and the others thought it didn't matter. In Japan, a place with relatively complete business rules, how could shareholders invest money without occupying shares?
Although their shares are smaller, the scale of the corresponding company is larger, and they can still follow the profits.
Moreover, they are the management. If Lymart does a good job, the bonuses and dividends given must be very high, and the interests are linked to their own efforts. This is the motivation to encourage them to work harder!
Xiao Qi nodded slightly, "There is no problem with the 80 billion start-up capital, but the logistics base is no longer needed. Xiaoyao Logistics still has enough vacancies. Lymart can sign a long-term lease contract with Xiaoyao Logistics. This is more cost-effective than buying land and building by ourselves."
Much more, and you can also use Xiaoyao Logistics’ network in the future, so you don’t have to worry about expansion across the country.”
"yes."
Nitta Isamu nodded slowly.
He had known that Xiao Qi would reply to him like this, because Xiaoyao Logistics has warehouses all over the country, and it rents out its spare warehouses. Lymart has huge demand, so it can be added to Xiaoyao Logistics' system.
For Lymart, a fan, having its own logistics warehouse is naturally the best, but for Xiao Qi, both companies belong to him, so there is no difference, so there is no need to waste resources.
"In this case, we can also hand over the inter-city transportation to Xiaoyao Logistics. Lymart only plays a role in the distribution within the city." Isamu Nitta replied.
Xiaoyao Logistics also has distribution services, but most of them focus on transportation between cities.
For small-scale delivery in the city, it is better to use alymart's own transportation team. After all, alymart has its own set of transportation management rules. After decades of operation, it has become very proficient.
Xiao Qi doesn't mind this. It's a joke for a convenience store chain company not to have its own delivery team. It's equivalent to not knowing the most important network at all, so how can it arrange and operate it smoothly?
"As for domestic relations, these cities don't have big problems. Don't think too rigidly of these officials in China. They have calculated how much the city's economy will be boosted by investing so much money.
Xiao Qidao, "I will ask someone to actively communicate with them. You can just go about your business as usual. There won't be any difficulty."
"good."
What Nitta Yong wants is Xiao Qi's guarantee.
In fact, there are not many obstacles to the development of Japanese companies in China, but they will be careful. After all, the reputation of this kind of convenience chain store is very important. If it is boycotted from the beginning, it will not develop.
What he is worried about is that the convenience store chains in the local city will do anything because A-lymart has tampered with their cakes.
Since Xiao Qi said so, he naturally believed that his boss had the ability to deal with these local snakes.
If we rely solely on strength, Lymart, a fan of A, is not afraid of any convenience store chain in China, and he is confident that he can do a great job in China.
Although people like A fans were very dissatisfied when Lymart was first acquired by Xiao Qi, they no longer think so.
It is truly a blessing to follow a boss with deep pockets, foresight and courage!
