I haven't been a boss for many years

Chapter 428 This world is full of miracles.

"Edward is dead?" Zhang Guobin was a little surprised, but suddenly realized: "Going back to the ancestral home to spy on the top secrets, even if the crown prince is behind him, there is still a risk of death."

Try and die.

It was Edward.

But a piece of intelligence news can kill a person, Zhang Guobin drank a cup of tea, still a little surprised: "The royal family still has some weight."

"And it's ruthless enough!"

According to his estimation, Edward's political career would be frustrated at most, and Edward's death was really unexpected.

It is even more unimaginable how many people in the ancestral family died for this.

The governor of Hong Kong has to drink medicine.

The governor of Hong Kong is not a big man, he is very powerful, it is impossible to be so bad!

However, since Edward can die, it is estimated that the Hong Kong Governor's career is also at stake, and it is reasonable for the Kadoorie family to move closer to the left.

Xiangjiang Huazi can show its hands and feet.

Zhang Guobin put down his teacup and sighed: "God is jealous of talents, Mr. Edward left early."

Kadoorie kept a straight face and nodded like a gentleman: "Thanks to Mr. Edward."

"Respect dear Edward." Zhang Guobin raised his teacup.

Kadoorie raised his hand to offer tea and said, "Dear Edward."

Let's drink.

Zhang Guobin asked comfortably: "Mr. Kadoorie, do you have any advice?"

Kadoorie wiped his hands with a white towel: "I have a good relationship with Citibank. If Mr. Zhang needs funds for business development, the Kadoorie family can guarantee financing for you."

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Guobin laughed.

The financing channel delivered to the door is equal to the money delivered to the door, so how can there be any reason to refuse?

What's more, he is planning to expand his business in the near future, and he really needs financing, so he readily agreed: "Thank you, Mr. Kadoorie, I will send someone to contact you if necessary."

There is no sincerity in approaching with empty teeth.

This financing channel is the sincerity shown by the Kadoorie family. It does not need to pay real money, but only needs to take a little risk to change its position.

As a shrewd Jewish Chinese businessman, the Kadoorie family knows this well. Zhang Guobin will not push an ally to the opposite side, accept the benefits with a smile, and help Xiangjiang Huazi collectively make a friend.

Zhang Guobin returned to Hutchison Building, and Ma Shiming had been waiting in the reception area for a long time. Hearing that the big boss took time to meet, he entered the office under the leadership of the secretary.

Zhang Guobin stood in front of the window holding a teacup, drinking hot tea with his head down: "Mr. Ma."

Yihai Group, CEO Ma Shiming bowed and said, "BOSS."

"Let's report on the financial statements for the first quarter."

"Yes, BOSS." Ma Shiming opened a document and said briefly: "Yihai Group's net income in the first quarter was 17.3 million, of which Dreamworks' income accounted for 6%, ATV's income accounted for 12%, and Guobin's income accounted for 11%. Construction accounted for 7%, Yihai Real Estate accounted for 12%, Guobin Securities accounted for 7%, Guobin Liquor, Guobin Clothing, and Guobin Shoes accounted for 5%, [-]%, [-]%..."

This is all regular income.

The rest of Heyi Apartment, Millennium Jewelry, Yihai Red Wine and other projects are new investment projects. In recent years, the rate of return has been negligible, especially the jade mine and wharf projects, which are all huge asset-heavy projects. Jewelry stores have begun to make profits, but the Guangruili Jade City project has not paid back.

The sales of Pagan’s jade mines are included in the accounts of the society, and the profit rate is extremely high, which has exceeded the deposit for contracting the jade mines. However, because they are overseas assets that have not been taxed, the assets are all included in another account book.

However, from the proportion of several businesses, we can see the development trend of the entire Yihai Group.

After Guobin Construction entered the mainland to contract infrastructure, its net income immediately began to rise rapidly.

This is only the most prosperous film industry in Xiangjiang.

"The cash flow of the group is still quite lacking." Zhang Guobin sat down on the sofa seat, crossed his legs, and said calmly: "Just relying on an apartment project in Central has supplemented the cash flow to a certain extent, but for He Yihai's current In terms of size."

"This cash flow is far from enough."

Zhang Guobin said: "Ma sir, go to the international market to find supermarkets, retail and other high cash flow projects."

"Boss Li relied on Watsons to make up for his cash flow shortcomings."

Watsons seems to be a beauty store, but in fact, it adopts the retail store model.

Li Jiacheng's acquisition of Watsons does not seem to have much prestige, but it is actually a wonderful move. In the past two years, Li Jiacheng has invested in the mainland land and focused on the development of Watsons' business. At present, there are more than [-] Watsons chain stores in Xiangjiang. Central, Kowloon, New Territories.

Watsons has already opened to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and other regions, and has established a warehousing and logistics center, and is building logistics distribution channels.

This kind of logistics distribution channel is different from that of Yihai Zhonggang, and the port-to-city logistics. It is a more detailed model of direct distribution stores from storage centers.

The advantage of developing the chain retail industry is that it can build logistics channels at the same time, laying the foundation for the express delivery industry in the 00s.

Yihai Zhonggang relies on the transportation of bulky cargo to make a profit, mainly transporting containers at the terminal. As long as shipping is the lifeline of the world economy, Yihai Logistics will stand firm.

But this does not mean that Zhang Guobin needs to give up one of the biggest profitable industries in the future.

Moreover, the express delivery industry has good operational capabilities, and in critical periods, it may be able to give blood to a city and assume social responsibilities.

It is the best choice to develop modernity and seek the future.

Ma Shiming knew that the big boss was never ashamed to learn from his opponents, and sometimes even robbed them openly, so he immediately replied: "The project investment department has been analyzing the retail industry in the international market. After analysis, the current international best-quality There are two chain store investment projects, one for McDonald's fast food restaurant, one for Kentucky Fried Chicken, and an alternative project for Southern Ice Company's 7-ELEVEN."

"These three stores all sound familiar." Zhang Guobin asked with a chuckle.

More than familiar.

These three stores, he is a regular customer.

Of course, these three stores are just emerging in the Greater China region and have certain investment properties, especially 7-ELEVEn.

Ma Shiming was interested in Kentucky fried chicken.

"Boss, these three stores have already begun to develop in the Greater China region. Among them, McDonald's is the first chain fried chicken restaurant in the United States. It originated from the earliest road store and is very popular in the United States. Currently, it has opened three stores in Xiangjiang. The stores are doing very well.”

"I sent someone to the US head office to discuss investment, but unfortunately, was rejected by McDonald."

Xiangjiang is a capitalist system, and free operation is the bottom line of the system. If M Ji manages well, he will naturally not allow outsiders to invest.

In the future, we will take the expansion route.

The mainland has the opportunity to join the mainland capital because of the issuance of a "franchise license". In the end, the mainland company was acquired by the mainland.

Become a separate Golden Arches Group.

It looks like an M record, but it is actually the Golden Arches.

Many chain enterprises seem to be prosperous for decades, and they are large enterprises that can not fall down. In fact, they have changed hands many times behind the scenes.It is in this era of opportunities everywhere that there are opportunities for emerging tycoons to rise.

For example, at present McDonald's has practically nothing to do with the Mac Brothers.

Zhang Guobin also knew Xiangjiang M Ji, and it was not well managed in the early days. Xiangjiang people are not used to American fried chicken fast food, and prefer dining cars, teahouses, and ice houses.

However, M Ji adopts a humane care strategy, such as: "not only will not drive away customers who spend little or no money in the store, but also try to provide these customers with private space."

It was only then that the Xiangjiang market was gradually cultivated and entered the Greater China region. In the past two years, it has been profitable.

"Kentucky Fried Chicken entered the Xiangjiang market four years ago and opened a total of seven stores. However, due to poor management, they all closed down two years ago. According to the investment department, Kentucky Fried Chicken is determined to return to the Asian market and imitate Mike. The business model of Downer Fast Food."

"Unfortunately, given the failure experience in Xiangjiang last time, Kentucky Fried Chicken decided to open stores in Vietnam and Malaysia. This is an opportunity for us."

Zhang Guobin seemed to hear Ma Shiming asking him: "Do you want to be the king of fried chicken?"

It has to be denied that investing in KFC is an excellent project, but unfortunately, the Xiangjiang market is too narrow to accommodate two Western-style fast foods, M Ji and KFC.

Of course it’s okay to open a store together, but the income is destined to be small, and it’s unrealistic to enclose land in the name of opening a store, and there are not many lands in Xiangjiang.

M Ji has a first-mover advantage, and it is difficult for KFC to catch up. It can be said that KFC has always been M Ji's younger brother before entering the mainland.

KFC's huge market is in the mainland. Historically, KFC has grown rapidly by virtue of its first-mover advantage in entering the mainland.

Zhang Guobin said aloud: "You send someone to continue the negotiation with Kentucky Fried Chicken, not only to discuss the agency management rights of Xiangjiang, but also the agency management rights of the mainland."

"Mainland?" Ma Shiming's eyes lit up: "I see, BOSS."

It is very difficult for He Yihai and his family to obtain the franchise license of KFC in the Mainland. To replicate the historical success of KFC, the first store must be opened in Beijing. The sensational advertising effect cannot be achieved in other cities. There is simply no way to replace it.

Go north.

Hard!

Have to find a partner.

"What about 7-ELEVEn?" Zhang Guobin still likes this convenience store the most. In fact, fast food restaurants and convenience stores are both road cultures that originated in North America, but there can only be one fast food restaurant in a district, and one street can Open a convenience store!

The advantages of fast food restaurants lie in parallel with cash and land enclosure. The land enclosure even became M Ji, the biggest profit point of KFC, but when it comes to cash flow.

Nothing beats a convenience store!
Supermarkets, hypermarkets!

It is very difficult for hypermarkets to acquire well-known supermarkets.

Winning 7-ELEVEn is the optimal solution.

7-11 could be transformed into a Japanese brand in the 80s, why can't it be transformed into a Chinese brand?
The world is full of wonders.

Convenience stores blooming all over the land of China should be enterprises with Chinese capital, just like the hard-working people in the land of China, every penny is devoted to blood, sweat and faith.

　Will update normally tomorrow.
