Huo Dong looked at the contents of Sing Tao Daily in his hand and felt extremely emotional. The richest man in Yanxia had invested more than 500 million US dollars in Japan. If this money was invested in Hong Kong Island...
Forget it, it's pretty good in Japan. Let's come back in two years, Huo Dong thought helplessly.
If Huo Dong's business had not been basically based on Hong Kong Island, he would probably have run away. Although Hong Kong Island is now basically stable and the economy is recovering, the environment is really not that good.
Jade Emperor Bank has opened three branches on Hong Kong Island, and it is still an internal bank that is not open to the public. However, it is normal for Jade Emperor Bank not to attract deposits in Hong Kong Island. Hong Kong dollars can basically only be used in Hong Kong Island and Macau. Yuhuang Group has left Hong Kong Island.
, Absorbing savings in Hong Kong Island will not be of much help to the Yuhuang Group, and it will distract energy out of thin air.
Nowadays, currencies such as US dollars, pounds, and then yen and francs are used internationally. The local foreign exchange on Hong Kong Island is basically transported to the United Kingdom by HSBC. Hong Kong Island’s foreign exchange is scarce.
Huo Dong estimated in his mind that Zhang Sheng's foreign exchange reserves were richer than those of HSBC. Not to mention how much of the 1.5 billion US dollars was spent, he had many overseas businesses and earned dollars, pounds, and at worst, yen.
If you have a lot of dollars, pounds, and yen in your hands, you must have a lot.
…
Central, Wheelock Building, Global Shipping Group.
"Boss, the large cargo ship we purchased from Japan has arrived at Harbor City."
The purchasing manager of Global Shipping Group told the charter king.
"Yes, two of them will help the Yuhuang Group transport goods around the world, and the rest will proceed according to the original plan.
Now that the Yuhuang Group has opened a new Carrefour supermarket in Japan, the demand for supplies is also increasing. When we return from Japan, we will transport Yuhuang Electric products to Europe."
Said the Charter King.
"Zhang Sheng's business is getting bigger and bigger now. He can't even supply the white-feathered chickens used in CFC restaurants, and he needs to frequently purchase them from the Charoen Pokphand Group in Thailand."
The purchasing manager said with great emotion.
"Zhang Sheng's chicken farm in Tin Shui Wai is saturated. Now Japan alone needs almost one million white-feathered chickens a day.
It is estimated that Zhang Sheng will build a breeding farm again on the land he bought in Tin Shui Wai."
Said the Charter King.
"CP Group is also crazy about building chicken farms in Thailand. CFC is still a big market in Europe. There are more than 700 CFC restaurants in the UK alone. I guess it will soon expand to Europe.
"
"The expansion of Zhang Sheng's restaurant is really crazy. Chou Country's Mai Maidao Lao is now accelerating its expansion in Canada, and it is estimated that it will soon enter Europe."
"Indeed, but I'm afraid there will be some difficulties to overcome when selling swordsmen enters Europe. Zhang Sheng has set up a large decoration team specifically for expansion. Whether it is the speed of decoration or the low cost of decoration, it is not something that selling swordsmen can do.
Than."
The purchasing manager smiled and said to the charter king.
"Haha, yes, the efficiency of decoration companies in China and Europe is ridiculously slow, and the labor costs are extremely high. I'm afraid that a knife seller can't open dozens of restaurants at the same time. Compared with CFC, the opening speed of two restaurants
The knife work is not enough for the CFC to fight.”
…
Soon it has been three days since the opening of Carrefour Supermarket in Japan. During these three days, the average daily customer flow of each store was around 80,000 people. Of course, this is because it is newly opened, so the reference value of customer flow is not large, and the turnover
There will inevitably be false highs.
In three days, 700,000 tickets were issued, and the turnover reached US$47 million.
Although the turnover in three days was as high as 47 million U.S. dollars, the profit was only 16 million U.S. dollars. Most people purchased daily necessities, and the profit was not high.
Hundreds of thousands of tons of fragrant rice are sold in Thailand, but the profit of rice is only 30%, and the sales of cosmetics and other daily chemical products that can reach 100% profit are not too many. There is no way, these things are all
You only buy when you've used up, and it's not a shopping holiday, so you won't be hoarding too much.
According to a survey by the marketing department, the gross profit margin of supermarkets in living areas is about 50%, and the gross profit margin of supermarkets in commercial areas is about 120%.
There are more imported high-end goods in the business district, and white-collar workers have the spending power. Although the necessities in the living area are also imported, the profit is still too low. If you calculate carefully, half of the items in the supermarket are imported from Southeast Asia. After all, Japan has little land.
There are many people.
During this period, there was news that made Zhang Zhonghua even more happy, that is, Fuji Steel was finally taken down.
After the group matters were processed, Zhang Zhonghua planned to develop the unix operating system over a period of time. With the ix operating system, it would be easier and much faster.
Just like the qdos system purchased by Microsoft's Bill Gates for $50,000, it only had 4,000 lines of assembly before it was modified into the ms-doc system. This shows how crude the early operating systems were.
Developing Unix systems is a piece of cake for Zhang Zhonghua, and full-level programming is no joke.
The Unix system is a time-sharing system that plays an important role in the development history of computer operating systems.
It has continuously made detailed, careful and selective inheritance and transformation of existing technologies, and has made some developments in the overall design concept of the operating system, which has made it such a great success.
The Unix system could be said to be at its peak throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and it was basically a unified server system. Unfortunately, it was eventually replaced by the Linux system.
In the early days of the development of Unix, the copyright of Unix at that time was owned by the National Telephone and Telegraph Company. In order to promote the development of Unix, the National Telephone and Telegraph Company licensed the Unix source code to academic institutions for research or teaching purposes at low or even free licenses.
As a result, a large number of organizations expanded and improved on this source code, forming so-called unix derivatives. These derivatives ultimately promoted the development of unix.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Later, the National Telephone and Telegraph Company realized the huge commercial value of the Unix system, so it no longer authorized the Unix source code to academic institutions, and made a statement on the previous Unix and its variants.
Copyright rights.
This had an extremely great impact on the subsequent development of the Unix system, so much so that the entire development process of Unix was accompanied by a large number of property rights disputes.
These problems of the unix system are not a problem at all for Zhang Zhonghua. The source code of the unix system is completely open source and does not charge a penny, and he helps maintain and develop the unix system, but the C language requires copyright fees.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhonghua's hands flew quickly on the keyboard, and soon a clicking sound could be heard in the office.
Of course, the biggest purpose of developing the Unix system is to serve Jade Emperor Bank. Secondly, since I am the father of the C language, it will be easier to recruit computer elites in the future.
When Zhang Zhonghua developed the yh database, many places used C language programming. The use of this part of C language will be discovered sooner or later. Rather than having others come up with C language and make wedding dresses for others, it is better to be rich and famous and earn it yourself.
…
While Zhang Zhonghua was struggling in the office, Carrefour Supermarket was finally on the right track. Zhang Zhonghua handed over the matters related to Carrefour Supermarket to the company's senior leaders headed by He Rongfei, then walked out of the office and came to Nippon Steel Corporation.
The Yuhuang Group spent a lot of time and finally acquired two companies, Yawata Steel and Fuji Steel. The market value of the newly merged Nippon Steel directly reached US$1.1 billion.
Zhang Zhonghua invested US$700 million to account for 65% of the shares. Yoshihiro Inayama cashed out part of the shares to obtain cash, while holding 22% of the shares in Nippon Steel. Ichiro Hino, like Yoshihiro Inayama, cashed out part of the cash and held shares in Nippon Steel
With 13% of the shares, Zhang Zhonghua became the absolute largest shareholder.
After the merger, Nippon Steel has become the number one steel company in Japan. It has branches in Japan's major industrial centers such as Fukuoka, Nagoya, and Kimitsu. Once Japan's internal affairs are stabilized, it can begin international expansion.
.
Although Nippon Steel is already the number one steel giant in Japan now, it will be even more powerful in the future. In the future, Nippon Steel will publish a lot of products and will also be the giant with the strongest scientific research capabilities in the world.
In addition, Nippon Steel will also have an engineering division in the future, which will provide technical information to foreign steel companies and carry out business to help design, build and transform steel companies.
In addition to being supplied domestically and abroad, Nippon Steel's products are also exported to more than 100 countries around the world. It has established dozens of subsidiaries overseas and participated in the construction of the domestic Baosteel General Plant, which can be said to be world-renowned.
In terms of the company's steel production business, New Dongying Steel Co., Ltd. has developed advanced processing procedures that can significantly increase productivity and production volume and reduce energy consumption.
By adopting advanced technological know-how, Nippon Steel Corporation is still developing a series of state-of-the-art products.
In addition to steel manufacturing, New Japan Steel is also developing other business areas, including engineering, urban planning, non-ferrous metals, chemical industry, electronics, and information systems.
Zhang Zhonghua was filled with emotions. The future world's number one steel giant had finally fallen into his hands, but he just didn't know if he would become the number one in the world like in his previous life.
When Zhang Zhonghua was in college in his previous life, he was very interested in these world giants. If he could develop one or two world giants, it would be a great sense of accomplishment.
Japan's economy developed extremely rapidly in the two decades after the war. In 1966, Japan's GDP successfully surpassed the United Kingdom and became the third in the world. In 1968, Japan's GDP surpassed West Germany and became the second in the world.
Zhang Zhonghua was able to win the two companies before the shareholders of the two companies merged on their own. It was an extraordinary fluke. He felt that he was the son of destiny.
During this period, through communication with Yoshihiro Inayama and Ichiro Hino, Zhang Zhonghua also learned why the Japanese consortium did not acquire two steel plants. Several Japanese consortiums have their own steel companies and specialize in the production of automotive steel.
There is no need to use two after-sales companies.
In the future, Japan's second largest steel company, JFE Company, will be one of the few companies in the world that produces car exterior panels and is also the world's largest automotive steel company.
Moreover, once a consortium sells these two companies, it will inevitably cause the steel companies under other consortiums to join forces, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"President, when will our company announce the establishment of New Japan Steel Co., Ltd.?"
Yoshihiro Inayama asked.
The quiet merger of the two companies will definitely shock the whole of Japan. The greater the momentum, the more attractive and stronger it will be to talents.
"When the reorganization of the two companies is completed, let's announce the news to the public. Anyway, now that all creditor's rights relationships have been settled, other consortiums should also get some news."
Zhang Zhonghua said that he would never believe it if he said that the two companies merged without knowing anything about the Japanese consortium.
In his opinion, the Japanese consortium's idea is to merge, just merge, as long as it is not acquired by a rival.
At the same time, the Japanese consortium did not intervene to block the merger, most likely because it was afraid of forcing Yawata Steel and Fuji Steel to their opponents.
There are still a lot of things to deal with when the two companies merge. The personnel structure, research and development direction, etc. are very troublesome. The group can just send financial personnel to keep an eye on it. The merger and development of the two companies should be left to Inayama Yoshihiro and Hino
If Ichiro takes care of it, he could develop Nippon Steel into the world's number one in his previous life, and he will probably be able to do the same in this life.
"President, where is our Nippon Steel headquarters?"
Hino Ichiro asked.
"The company's headquarters should be in Dongjin. After all, well-known companies and universities are in Dongjin. It is also more convenient to expand business in Dongjin. This big company does not have a headquarters in Dongjin. How can it go out to meet people?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Zhonghua said.
"After Nippon Steel is established, I will inject another US$100 million, but you don't have to worry, this capital injection will not dilute your shares. It can be regarded as the group's help to the development of Nippon Steel.
At the same time, I will put 10% of the shares into the company's option pool as a reward for outstanding management and scientific researchers. You will study in detail how to allocate these shares."
It is not a good thing that Zhang Zhonghua holds too many shares. This is Japan after all, not Hong Kong Island. Only by bundling everyone's interests together can we ensure unity and withstand external pressure.
Ichiro Hino looked at President Zhang Zhonghua with gratitude in his heart. If the president injected another US$100 million to dilute his shares, then his shares would probably be diluted to less than 10%.
Moreover, the president gave 10% of the shares as a reward. With this 10% of the shares, it will be very easy to recruit top talents in the future, and it will be difficult for the company not to grow and develop.
…
Hearing Zhang Zhonghua's words, all the company executives in the office were all brightened up. As long as they work hard, they will get shares. Although the same shares must have different rights, they can still be considered promising.
Moreover, Nippon Steel is probably the first company in Japan to give shares to senior executives.
At the same time, the senior executives here also thought of some of their friends. Nowadays, company mergers are exactly where talents are needed. Nippon Steel has become Japan's number one steel company. If it does well, there will be stock rewards. That's not just a call.
Come.
The ideas of the senior executives played into Zhang Zhonghua's hands. As for the loss of dividends? As long as Nippon Steel is controlled, the benefits that can be obtained are simply not comparable to money. What's the point of less dividends?
