Zhang Zhonghua, who had been in seclusion in the office for a period of time, finally walked out of the office and worked overtime for a period of time. After typing hard on the keyboard, he finally finished writing the underlying code of C language. He felt that it was really not easy for him. All that was left was to find an opportunity.
The c language was taken out.
After Zhang Zhonghua left the office, he found a professional beauty and hairdressing institution and performed more professional maintenance on his hair. Looking at his still thick hair in the mirror, Zhang Zhonghua nodded with satisfaction. He did not want to go bald at an early age.
Gong Qigao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his boss finally leaving the office. His boss was a bit too scary. He stayed in seclusion for such a long time at a time, just like the martial arts masters here.
I just don’t know what shocking thing the boss will come up with this time.
"Boss, Carrefour Supermarket has been preparing for almost two months. We have purchased 40 large stores in Tojin, Kyoto, and Osaka. None of the stores has an area of more than 6,000 square meters. The largest one is
Square meters."
This time the group has really put its money capital into full play and purchased so many large stores at once. As long as these supermarkets are opened, Carrefour will definitely become the largest supermarket group in Japan.
Zhang Zhonghua took the document handed over by Gong Qigao, and the Ginza 4-chome store sold for 10,000 square meters at US$9 million;
A 7,900-square-meter store in Ginza 8-chome is priced at US$6 million;
A 6,110-square-meter store in Ginza 2-chome is priced at US$4.5 million;
Three stores in Marunouchi, totaling US$9 million...
Seeing the summary file of the report, a total of fifteen stores in Dongjin business district cost US$70 million;
Twelve stores in the Kyoto business district cost US$24 million;
Eleven stores in Osaka’s Kobe business district cost US$40 million;
The renovation cost nearly $60 million;
Other expenses such as warehouse and logistics also cost more than 20 million US dollars.
So far, 230 million US dollars have been spent. This 300 million US dollars is really not enough to spend in Japan. There are supermarkets and hotels and the like. Asset-heavy operations are too expensive. If only this amount of money is spent in two years, I am afraid that it will be enough.
Take half of the current property.
"How is Carrefour's current employee training going?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked.
Nearly forty supermarkets that are preparing to open are now almost ready for trial operation. It is not easy, but the speed is very fast, and there are few rivals in the world.
"The employees have been trained for half a month. On average, each supermarket has about 300 people. Now it has about 10,000 to 3,000 employees."
Gong Qigao gave the answer directly without hesitation. This was the data he had prepared in advance.
Now the number of employees of Yuhuang Group in Japan is increasing, which is no less than that of some small consortiums in Japan.
"Well, how is Carrefour's management team doing now?"
Zhang Zhonghua is very satisfied with Gong Qigao's overall control over Carrefour's current situation.
He handed over all the establishment matters of Carrefour Supermarket to Gong Qigao, and he became a hands-off manager. After all, the Yuhuang Group now has too many companies, and he cannot handle them all one by one. He only needs to be able to grasp the general direction.
“The management team of our boss, Carrefour, works very well together.
He Rongfei, the current general manager of Carrefour Supermarket, is a senior manager recruited from a global retail giant. He graduated from Harvard Business School and has more than ten years of work experience. He has worked in the UK, France, China and other countries. Before coming to Carrefour, he had
Serving as the sales director of a regional branch is definitely a rare person in charge.
The marketing manager graduated from Columbia University and worked in a Volkswagen supermarket in the United States for nearly ten years, and then worked at Wal-Mart..."
Gong Qigao introduced the management of Carrefour he established to Zhang Zhonghua one by one.
Zhang Zhonghua was very satisfied when he heard Gong Qigao's introduction to the Yuhuang Supermarket team. At least judging from their experience on paper, each one of them has rich work experience and a very good resume.
There is a song that is right. There are no guns or cannons. The enemy helped him make them. Now he and the Jade Emperor Group are becoming more and more famous. Zhang Zhonghua feels that his reputation as the richest man in Yanxia is really good. At least now he is the Jade Emperor.
Recruiting talents for the group is more than ten times easier than before.
"How many stores are there near the supermarket? Have they been taken down?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked.
Large supermarkets are the most popular places. Stores on the same floor or even adjacent floors will have a good business. He will not make wedding clothes for others in vain.
“There are several shops near each supermarket, but they have been taken over, with areas ranging from 200 square meters to 300 square meters.
At present, locations have been reserved for CFC Restaurant and Yuhuang Bank. Yuhuang Electric’s products are sold directly in Carrefour, so no store space has been reserved.”
Gong Qigao introduced to Zhang Zhonghua.
"Yes, you can keep the ones you need for your own use, and you can rent out the others you don't need temporarily. By the way, ask Sumitomo Bank if you need them. If they need them, reserve one."
Sumitomo Bank must be given some face. Yuhuang Bank does not have good relations with these big banks. Although there are some conflicts in business, Yuhuang Bank is just a small pimp in the eyes of Sumitomo and other big Japanese banks, not worth mentioning.
If you want to develop in Japan, it is impossible not to establish good relations with these consortiums. If the products of a large consortium refuse to enter your own supermarket, then the supermarket will be useless.
"No problem, it's New Year's Day in four days and we should open.
For those cooked foods and the like, we have also introduced many well-known food companies from Japan, but now the products are a bit limited, and we still need to contact various suppliers."
Gong Qigao explained.
Nowadays, it is impossible to keep a low profile when opening a large supermarket. With so many stores being renovated at the same time, there is too much noise. Once the business is opened, there will be no shortage of suppliers.
The current so-called supermarkets in Japan still use the traditional retail model. Although supermarket shopping models from Europe and the United States have been introduced, they are still nondescript.
There are not many supermarket business concepts for self-service shopping, and customers still need to ask for goods from the waiter.
Although it may seem simple to purchase goods on the shelves by yourself, the supply chain system is extremely responsible, including warehouse inventory management, logistics and distribution, product damage reporting, supermarket layout, etc. There is a lot of knowledge involved.
Even those European and American retail supermarket giants are still exploring. Carrefour has taken the lead in introducing it. This is the advanced experience accumulated by these giants for decades. Maybe it will succeed the father of the C language, the father of Chinese input method, and the father of databases.
After being named as a father, he can still be called the father of modern supermarkets.
There are too many doorways in modern chain supermarkets, and the most impressive thing is the supermarket's capital flow. The supermarket's money comes not only from the high price difference between its own purchases and sales, but the most important thing is the settlement with suppliers.
Account period.
For example, it is normal for modern supermarkets to press for payment for goods, and it is normal for the payment to be held for two or three months. A large amount of payment for three months remains on the supermarket's books, which is a huge amount of money. This money cannot be used to open new stores.
The problem is, the real boss is the one who has cash in hand. Don’t look at those companies with valuations of tens or tens of billions. They may only have tens of millions in cash on their books, or even none at all.
As for those large supermarket chains, they look inconspicuous, but the cash on their books is worth more than ten times the valuation of listed companies.
Moreover, when the supermarket reaches a certain scale, there will be no need for the supermarket to find suppliers, and those suppliers will in turn beg the supermarket.
If you want to enter my supermarket, is it okay if the payment is late for two or three months? If there is a problem, I'm sorry, I will use other companies' products.
Some even pay supermarkets to sell their products. Otherwise, if your product is not even available in big supermarkets, many people will think that your product is a generic brand, so the supplier will have to pay shelf fees, publicity fees, etc.
etc.
The more Zhang Zhonghua thinks about it, the more excited he becomes. Supermarkets in the future will really know how to play.
Of course, many of these are still unavailable for now. The gross profit margin of supermarkets is now at least 50%, and there are many products that have doubled. We can’t cut off our future now. If our food looks ugly and we are boycotted, it will be dangerous.
"Then let's set a date for the opening. Starting tomorrow, TV, radio, newspapers, posters and street light boxes can be used to promote it."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
The day for Carrefour's opening soon came.
Zhang Zhonghua arrived at the Carrefour Supermarket in Ginza 4-chome at nine o'clock in the morning. At this time, many tourists had gathered in front of the Carrefour Supermarket to enjoy the grand performance. This is a traditional program for the opening of Zhang Zhonghua's companies.
First, more than a hundred waiters performed a dance in the square in front. Of course, it was one of the three traditional dances of the opening of the Yuhuang Group. It was quite shocking to see a hundred people dancing neatly together.
The cheerful melody and catchy lyrics made the onlookers jump up involuntarily. More and more tourists gathered in the 4-chome. Regardless of ancient and modern times, people at home and abroad like to watch the excitement, and they also have a herd mentality.
Try to get closer to a place with a lot of people. The more people there are, the better this store is. Otherwise, how could there be so many people?
Zhang Zhonghua was thinking about getting Brother Spoon’s little apple out?
"I planted a seed and finally the fruit grew. Today is a great day; I picked off the stars and gave them to you, I pulled down the moon and gave them to you, and let the sun rise for you every day..."
Zhang Zhonghua was humming a song and suddenly thought of the Kuaizi Brothers' music video. If hundreds of people in the company rocked their leaf pants, it would spread all over the world that day. Zhang Zhonghua quickly shook his head and shook this perverted thought out of his mind.
"Boss, your song and dance are so awesome. There are reports from other places that the entrance to every supermarket is probably crowded with people."
He Rongfei, the general manager of Carrefour Supermarket, was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
He has been busy arguing with suppliers recently and has not paid attention to the business of opening. He did not expect the effect to be so strong.
"Hahahaha, Manager He, this is the traditional opening program of our Jade Emperor Group. Just wait, there are better ones below."
Zhang Zhonghua joked.
After the cheerful song and dance ended, the supermarket service staff quickly dispersed into the crowd, and suddenly dozens more people quickly entered the open space in front of them. The tourists were stunned for a moment.
Among the dozens of people, some were wearing employee uniforms of LFC restaurant, some were wearing uniforms of Carrefour supermarket employees, and a few were wearing college uniforms, which were colorful and beautiful.
Soon, when the beautiful music "Magic" played, thirty or forty people instantly began to dance the street dance choreographed by Zhang Zhonghua.
This made the atmosphere of the scene explode in an instant. The cool and exciting movements attracted countless onlookers to shout loudly. Even decades later, any hip-hop dance can still cause a sensation on the scene, not to mention Thank You Leopard in the 1960s and 1970s.
Already.
Some tourists were not satisfied with watching below, and some went directly to the stage. Several foreign tourists separated and walked directly to the open space in front, and followed the employees of the Yuhuang Group to dance, which made the atmosphere on the scene more and more lively.
He Rongfei saw that the crowd in front of him was getting bigger and bigger. After the performance, so many people poured into the supermarket, and the cashier stopped at the checkout for a long time. This was not an easy physical job.
However, the boss is afraid that you will think that the opening ceremony organized by him is too cool. Nearly forty supermarkets in other places are also performing the same performance. Today, the Japanese people's eyes have been completely opened.
After the hip-hop performance, there is the Awa dance, a traditional Japanese dance. Only Japanese people can appreciate this dance. The rhythm is extremely slow, but there is no way to do as the locals do. Japanese people like to watch this.
"Boss, are you ready? It's your turn next. The Japanese TV station is ready."
Gong Qigao said with a smile.
"What, the boss wants to perform a show too?"
He Rongfei asked in surprise. His boss was worth billions of dollars and was the richest man in Yanxia. How could he not only cook and entertain the guests himself, but also perform on stage when he opened the business?
Yes, this He Rongfei also ate the food cooked by Zhang Zhonghua two days ago. After eating it, he was shocked. He also understood why cfc's burgers were so delicious.
"Manager He, the show performed by our boss is really exciting. It will definitely shock your jaw. Just enjoy it."
If our boss didn't do business but became a star, he would probably become the world's leading superstar."
Hu Shirley smiled and He Rongfei said.
After the host introduced Zhang Zhonghua, Zhang Zhonghua walked to the temporary stage with 6 backup dancers, wearing a black suit and a black hat. It was a perfect Michael Jackson classic look. It is a pity that little Jackson is not yet ten years old, otherwise
I will accept you as my disciple.
"Floating Sang, it's Floating Sang!"
Countless Zhang Zhonghua fans shouted his pen name loudly, and many fans were even ready to rush to the stage. They were all true fans. Basically, everyone knew that Zhang Zhonghua was a well-known writer, which also brought great success to his company.
A lot of business comes.
"The boss's reputation in Japan is really unparalleled!"
He Rongfei was deeply shocked by this scene again. He couldn't help but sigh that his boss could rely on his face to make a living, but he had to rely on his talent. Can he leave a way for people to survive?
When the moving music sounded, Zhang Zhonghua led the backup dancers to sing and dance, and the cool dance once again ignited the atmosphere of the scene.
