Rebirth: The Era of Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 89 [Yonghui Company]

On the first day of the new year, Lin Rongheng got a surprise, An Qi was pregnant.

In the morning, An Qi had morning sickness, and Lin Rongheng guessed that she was pregnant, so he took her for a physical examination.

When he thought that he was going to be a father, Lin Rongheng felt a little strange. He was born in February 1950, and he was only a month away from turning 2 years old. Is it a little early?
In my previous life, I only got married at the age of 30, and I didn’t even have time to raise a baby, so I traveled to this era; but it’s normal to think about it. In this era, getting married and having children at the age of 18 is a very common thing.

Back at the villa, Lin Rongheng began to take care of several nannies and take good care of the hostess.

An Qi was very happy on the side, but she said: "There is so much money there, it's only two months!"

Lin Rongheng said sternly: "Three months ago, it was a dangerous period, and the child's vital signs were still unstable; therefore, you must listen to me. Also, of course, my child is precious, even more precious than a British prince!"

Angie was overwhelmed with joy. Now that she is pregnant, Lin Rongheng's main room cannot escape.

Lin Rongheng thought for a while, and then said: "In Repulse Bay, let's not rush to move in first. After the renovation, there must be some irritating smell, which is not good for the children in the body. I think, I will move in in May next year. More appropriate!"

An Qi is also a college student anyway, so she understands it as soon as she hears it, and hurriedly said, "Yes."

Although I really want to move in, I have to endure it more than my health.

Lijing Building.

Outside an office building, 'Yonghui Company' was quietly hung up, which was the name Lin Rongheng gave to his retail group.

The newly established Yonghui Company already has five management talents in the retail industry. They are all managers hired by Lin Rongheng from Wellcome Supermarket, Lane Crawford Department Store, Xianshi Department Store, Yongan Department Store and other companies.

Not to mention top talents, but at least they are the leaders in this industry. In the early stage, they are still enough. In the later stage, it depends on whether they can grow.

On the first day of the new year, Lin Rongheng summoned five management members of Yonghui Company to the conference room in the afternoon after An Qi went to the hospital in the morning.

Lin Rongheng said: "Today, even if our Yonghui company is officially established!" After speaking, he took the lead in applauding.

The five of them applauded, and the expressions on their faces were filled with admiration.

For them, in addition to the high salary, another reason for their willingness to change jobs is the people in front of them; when everyone receives an invitation, when they hear that it is a start-up company, their first reaction is that it is unreliable and unstable. ; But when they heard that the boss was Lin Rongheng, everyone thought it was an opportunity for themselves.

It was difficult for the original company to get promoted, but when you arrive at the new company, you can immediately be entrusted with important responsibilities, and the salary has also increased by [-]%; as long as the boss is reliable, it is totally worth the gamble!
Lin Rongheng said, "You only know that Yonghui is going to be a retail company, but do you know where Yonghui is going to start? Or, do you think we should start with that first?"

Everyone suddenly thought, Zhang Jie from Wellcome Supermarket, a subsidiary of Landmark, took the lead and said: "Supermarket is a good choice. There is only one supermarket in Hong Kong, Wellcome Supermarket, but supermarkets in Europe and the United States are relatively mature, and the prospects are very good. Plus the boss, you have this strength!"

These people all know one thing, that is, the American consortium behind Lin Rongheng is not afraid of the British consortium Jardine.

Lin Rongheng smiled slightly, but did not take up the topic and motioned everyone to continue.

Li Mucai from Lane Crawford said: "Department stores are also good, of course, not to create a new brand department store, but to acquire a department store brand; as far as I know, Lane Crawford is preparing to acquire two low-end department stores. ."

Everyone expressed their opinions, but no one thought of the convenience store.

因为，亚洲首家便利店是1974年RB伊藤洋华堂公司引进的7-11便利店；7-11便利店是RB的叫法，美国叫做7-Eleven，这个品牌属于美国南方公司。

Lin Rongheng said with a smile: "Supermarkets are too high for me. After all, this is the first time I have entered the retail field. Even if there is no problem with funds, the supply chain is also a problem. The competition in department stores is too fierce. For newbies like us. So, we had to develop a new way of retailing!"

Everyone was surprised!

Reminiscent of this legendary experience, could it be that today, a new retail method can really be said from his mouth!
Lin Rongheng didn't give a shit, and said directly: "The retail method I'm talking about is called-convenience stores! Convenience stores originated in the United States, and their characteristics are: long hours of operation, even open 24 hours a day; like supermarkets, they are open-shelf optional; Small footprint, low investment in each store, but it is necessary to ensure that the entire Hong Kong is quickly spread to form a chain store; the last word is 'convenience', convenience stores do not require a complete range of goods, but only 'convenient, clean and fast'. Imagine, Some night owls or people who work night shifts see a convenience store at night, what a happy thing it is."

When everyone heard the words, the expressions on their faces already showed that Lin Rongheng opened the door to a new world for them.

Li Mucai first said: "How to supplement the goods of this kind of convenience store? For example, steamed buns, shumai, etc."

Although I didn't use my brain, the key to being able to take the initiative to ask questions can still be entrusted with important tasks. One of the factors for the success of convenience stores-is the problem of goods!
Lin Rongheng said: "Because of the large number of stores, we can naturally build a central kitchen and supply warehouse to achieve unified distribution."

Everyone nodded, it was true!

Lin Rongheng said again: "Of course, to create such a convenience store brand from scratch, there are too many problems and too many detours. Therefore, we adopt the model of introducing brands, and there is one under the Southern Company in the United States. 7-Eleven branded convenience store. The first thing we did was go to America and talk to Southern Company to allow us to franchise the 7-Eleven brand.”

Lin Rongheng's idea is that if the American Southern Company is willing to cooperate, then the 7-Eleven brand will be used, and in the future, when the American Southern Company goes bankrupt, he will directly acquire it himself; and the use of American brands is obviously more popular than local brands. .

If the American Southern Company despises the newly established Yonghui Company, then Lin Rongheng can only create a new brand.

Next, Lin Rongheng arranged for three people to go to the United States to negotiate with the Southern Company; the three were Zhang Jie, Li Mucai, and Qi Liang. The three of them went to the United States this time, not only to negotiate with the Southern Company, but also to seriously investigate Take a look at the convenience stores in the market and learn from them.

The remaining two are responsible for forming the company and even finding suitable stores in advance.

After some arrangements, Lin Rongheng once again acted as a hand-swinging shopkeeper.

Lin Rongheng didn't want to become a world-class retail giant. After all, it is not realistic. The world's retail giants in the previous life have already begun to emerge.

Do a good job in the market of Xiangjiang first, and then go to the mainland to occupy the market.

In terms of convenience stores, if we can cooperate with RB's retail company in advance, it is not a problem to win RB's agency rights in advance.
