Rebirth: The Era of Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 189 Chapter 188 [Beverage Company]

Lin Rongheng came to the telex room of Modern News Agency, and saw that the telex machine was constantly receiving messages from overseas.

Telex has both the speed of the telephone and the accuracy of a typewriter, especially when there is data in the message, this advantage is particularly obvious.It is generally believed that telex, a form of communication, was, in addition to being efficient and accurate, cheaper than telegraph and telephone.

But Lin Rongheng knows that although telex is convenient and time-effective enough, it is a bit inferior to satellite communication; however, satellite communication has just developed, and the US Federal Communications Commission still has restrictions on American media, let alone a foreign media. .

If Lin Rongheng's media group wanted to lease a satellite channel or launch a communication satellite, it would have been at least the late 70s.

Zhan Shide, the person in charge of Modern News Agency, said at the side: "Boss, our telex room can accept more than 300 overseas news materials every day, and this number is still increasing rapidly."

Lin Rongheng nodded in satisfaction. The number of overseas reporters of Modern News Agency has reached more than 370, especially since the establishment of the news agency, the number has increased by 180 in half a year; plus the number of reporters from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Modern News Agency has a total of 500 reporters. .

Such a huge group of reporters is already equivalent to the size of a large Japanese newspaper.

If it hadn’t been for the 1 million Hong Kong dollars raised in the stock market, just raising so many reporters would have caused Modern Newspaper’s financial crisis, but now it’s different. Many newspaper offices in Hong Kong have become customers of Modern News Agency, and they can expand their business to Japan, Taiwan Island, Southeast Asia and other regions.

"In the next step, we must not only consider the issue of investment, but also the issue of profitability! Your next task is very difficult. We need to explore the business in Taiwan, Japan, Southeast Asia, South Korea and other regions! You have no confidence?"

"Yes! Boss, our news agency is already one of the top news collection centers in Asia. With such an advantage, I can't develop a good business. That's too much to live up to the boss's trust in me!"

Zhan Shide not only has the experience of studying abroad, but also has the experience of working in overseas news media. His knowledge and ability are among the top in modern newspapers, and he is better than the president Luo Zhaoyou; but he is a latecomer after all, and his qualifications are not as good as Luo Zhaoyou and Zhang Jiancheng. But this time being promoted by Lin Rongheng to become the president of the Modern News Agency is undoubtedly a great improvement.

In terms of status, the president of the news agency is second only to the president of the modern newspaper industry, and is almost at the same level as the editor-in-chief, which means that he can directly report to Lin Rongheng, the chairman of the board of directors.

"Okay, as long as you have confidence! I have high hopes for Modern News Agency, and I will make it the number one commercial news agency in Asia."

Zhan Shide couldn't help admiring the boss's boldness. It's incredible that the boss has such a big vision in such a small market in Xiangjiang!

In fact, if Lin Rongheng didn't know how to use capital, I'm afraid he would be reluctant to spend tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars to invest in the news agency. After all, a lot of investment will be needed in the later stage.

And Lin Rongheng knows the history of the Xiangjiang stock market, so he can pump water and cash out at high points, and increase his holdings at low points. In this way, he can use other people's money to grow his company without having to spend his own money.

Even if this news agency did not achieve much, Lin Rongheng would not feel heartache.

On this day, Lin Rongheng and Zhang Jie, CEO of Yonghui Company, were chatting in the office. When they talked about the sales of the 7-ELEVEN convenience store’s own products, Tycoon Burger (Hamburger) and Slurpee, etc., Lin Rongheng suddenly remembered one thing.

That is, the drink Red Bull has not yet been registered by Xu Shubiao in Thailand, and even if it is registered in Thailand, it has not yet been promoted, so I can definitely enter the field of functional drinks.

I often drank this drink when I stayed up late in my previous life, and I knew the main ingredients by heart. I only need to have people test the ratio and add new auxiliary ingredients, etc., and I can quickly develop Red Bull.

At that time, I can cooperate with the American Southern Company to jointly promote Red Bull to Europe and the United States. As for the Asian market, I will naturally promote it myself.

As for why it is so good to American Southern Company, Lin Rongheng said that if he wants to promote Red Bull to Europe and the United States, he must cooperate with European and American companies, otherwise he will never succeed.

When he first started acting as an agent for 7-ELEVEn convenience stores, Lin Rongheng still wanted to win the agency rights in Japan, but after visiting Japan, he realized that if he represented 7-ELEVEn convenience stores in Japan, he might not be able to compete with Japanese retailers After all, the model and operation of convenience stores are no longer a secret, and Japanese retailers have advantages in services and goods, so it is difficult for foreign capital to get a share.

Even if you overcome the disadvantages of services and goods, and develop retail in Japan with sole proprietorship, it is easy to be squeezed out by Japanese retailers and the government. Every country is the same; unless you find an excellent Japanese partner.

Since you don't have confidence, you might as well not do it!

Regarding the blow to Japan's economy, Lin Rongheng said that he has many tricks, such as the comics industry, such as the arcade industry. The simpler way is to make a lot of money in Japanese real estate and stock markets before the Japanese bubble crisis.

Personal ability is limited, and Lin Rongheng can only earn tens of billions of dollars in Japan to express his identity as a Chinese.

"You quickly leased an independent factory building and set up a company specializing in beverage research and development. This company belongs to Yonghui Company."

Zhang Jie was absent-minded for a short while, wondering if the 7-Eleven convenience store has its own beverage brand authorized by the Southern Company?

"Boss, how big does this company need to be?"

Lin Rongheng thought about it, and said seriously: "This is a functional drink, mainly for people who are prone to fatigue, such as staying up late and working overtime, and truck drivers. Once the research and development is successful, we will promote it to the world, and the market is extremely huge. Of course, The initial scale only needs to be appropriate, and later, if necessary, we can open factories around the world. I wonder if you are busy?"

After all, Yonghui Company is a retail company integrating supermarkets and convenience stores, and it is still looking for opportunities to enter the department store field. Lin Rongheng is also worried that Zhang Jie will not be too busy, so he can set up another company.

Zhang Jie quickly said: "Don't worry, the boss, the company has a large reserve of talents, who can complete the tasks you assigned at any time!"

Zhang Jie didn't say whether he was busy enough to come here, but said that the company has enough talents, which made Lin Rongheng feel very relieved; talent.

"Very good! Report the preparation status to me at any time. Don't worry about the funds and be stingy. If you don't have enough money, you must communicate with me in time so that we can get a loan from the bank." Lin Rongheng reminded him that he has always been very generous when it comes to investment. To borrow heavily, as long as the company develops well, no amount of debt will weigh you down.

"Well, I know!"
