The richest man

Chapter 172: Strong as Zhang Jun and Short of Money

Zhou Yue is a housewife, and her husband works in Los Angeles, USA, and later took her over.

I heard that the air in the United States is sweet and fresh, but since coming to Los Angeles, Zhou Yue doesn’t think there is any difference between the air in the United States and the air in Hong Kong. Every time I go shopping, I have to drive for 10 or [-] minutes to go to the supermarket in the city.

Zhou Yue couldn't help complaining many times in her heart, but she missed the days of living in Hong Kong very much. At that time, when she went shopping for vegetables, she could find ParknShop or Wellcome Supermarket after a ten-minute walk. The products in the supermarket were also of good quality and price. inexpensive.

Zhou Yue even applied for a membership card and recharged thousands of Hong Kong dollars into the card. So far, she has become a level 5 member of ParknShop and enjoys a 9% discount.

After arriving in the United States, the membership card of ParknShop could no longer be used, and Zhou Yue felt rather regretful.

Early this morning, the sky cleared up, and Zhou Yue was ready to go shopping again.

The car didn't drive for 2 minutes, and suddenly found that a nearby open space covering an area of ​​[-] square meters was under construction. What caught her attention was a banner hanging beside the construction site.

"Baijia Supermarket is going to build a supermarket here!!!" Zhou Yue was surprised at first, and then very happy.

If the supermarket opened here, it would be very convenient. The surrounding residents, including herself, would come to buy anytime and anywhere, without worrying about the distance too fast.

Moreover, it seems that her membership card can be used in Park'n Shop on the American side.

When applying for the card, the employees of ParknShop said that the membership card is universal.

Zhou Yue suddenly became a little happier, secretly thinking that her membership card can be used again.

Zhou Yue parked the car and walked into the construction site to see that the construction team of the supermarket was almost all Chinese, hardworking, hardworking and capable, and the construction speed was several times faster than that of American workers.

……

Not only Los Angeles, but at least 32 ParknShop or Wellcome supermarkets are under construction in the United States.

During the same period in Europe, 38 supermarkets were under construction.

Alibaba Retail Group has almost developed the speed of opening stores to the extreme.

At the same time, Alibaba has also established European and American branches, recruiting a large number of people, and carrying out large-scale employee training. The speed of opening branches in the future will only be faster, not slower.

Open at least 200 supermarkets a year!
Wal-Mart only has 2133 stores, and Alibaba Group must increase the number of supermarket stores to more than several times that of Wal-Mart.The global retail market is huge and it is entirely possible.

Step by step, step by step.

Coupled with strong financial support, Alibaba Retail Group has a promising future!

Hong Kong.

Zhang Jun was sitting in the office, looking at a world map on the table. There were many red dots marked on the map. These red dots were the branches of ParknShop Supermarket and Wellcome Supermarket. Kang Supermarket focuses on the European market.

Zhang Jun is quite satisfied with the expansion speed of ParknShop Supermarket and Wellcome Supermarket.

At this rate of development, Wal-Mart and Carrefour are absolutely far behind!

Moreover, Zhang Jun doesn't plan to get dividends from the supermarket at all, and all the funds will be used for expansion. Can the shareholders of Wal-Mart and Carrefour do it?Certainly not!
Who the hell started a company without thinking about dividends!
"Once the scale of the supermarket increases, logistics is the most important thing!" Zhang Jun murmured, "We must build large-scale storage and logistics centers around the world, and we must also build our own fleet..."

"The cost of buying a car alone is a huge expense!"

"Buy a truck company, it will definitely be useful in the future, and I am also planning to enter the express delivery industry! Not to mention anything else, many products of the company under my name need a strong and professional logistics company to ensure fast and efficient logistics. Efficient!"

Zhang Jun is used to keeping fat and water out of other people's fields. We can't blame him for being too narrow-minded and lacking the spirit of cooperation. In his previous life, he was just an otaku with a lot of selfishness.Therefore, Zhang Jun made a silent note in his heart to find an opportunity to acquire a car company in the future.

……

……

Years are like a shuttle.

From the second half of 1976, Hong Kong's economy began to take off rapidly.

The fierce competition in the retail industry has not yet shown its effect, and everything is still brewing.

Hong Kong real estate has become increasingly prosperous.

At this moment, everyone looked back and couldn't help being shocked.

Unknowingly, Zhang Jun has become the largest real estate tycoon in Hong Kong. He has reserved an unimaginable amount of land and owns a large number of properties with the largest scale.

Some media in Hong Kong even began to call Zhang Jun "Zhang Bancheng"! ! !
"Hong Kong real estate has started to pick up since the beginning of the year. In the second half of the year, housing prices have soared, far exceeding 1975 times that of 1.8. Zhang Jun bought land and properties at low prices, and now he is making a lot of money. According to experts, Earned 100 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

In a restaurant, a few good buddies were drinking, and someone couldn't help talking.

The rest of the people couldn't help but nodded and participated in the discussion.

"Chinese Land purchased a large amount of land in the first place, and later acquired Hutchison Whampoa, Wharf and most of the real estate business of Hong Kong Land. 100 billion is definitely not enough! I think it is 200 billion!"

"Do you think this is luck, or did Zhang Jun expect the rapid development of Hong Kong's real estate industry?"

"Damn, it goes without saying, it must have been expected a long time ago! But any shrewd businessman will not engage in loss-making business. When Zhang Jun is on such a large scale, he buys land, Hutchison Whampoa, Wharf and Hongkong Land, the most important thing is the land owned by these companies! I have to say that Zhang Jun’s vision and courage are really awesome. Others are fearful, but he is greedy. He deserves to make so much money! I knew it earlier , I will buy a few more houses..." One of the bearded men took a sip of beer, shook his head and sighed.

"Hehe, we ordinary people don't have much loss, the loss of the British consortium is the big one!"

"Hehe, the Hong Kong government has also suffered a lot. It foolishly sold a lot of land to Zhang Jun..."

"..."

Chinese Land has acquired Hutchison Whampoa, Wharf and most of the real estate businesses of Hong Kong Land, and has become the largest real estate company in Hong Kong.

More than a dozen large-scale projects started, solving the employment problem of 3 to [-] people.

Especially the two large-scale projects of Harbor City and Times Square, once completed, Times Square will become one of the landmarks of Hong Kong, and Harbor City will become a shopping paradise in the world! ! !
Both Harbor City and Times Square were originally owned by Wharf.

In the distance, the Chartered Ship King sat in the car and went down to the construction site through the window, sighing uncontrollably.

Wharf, he has been paying attention to it for a long time, but he never expected that Zhang Junjie would take the lead.

"Oh, what a pity. If I were allowed to buy Wharf, just by collecting rent, the family could make steady profits of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars every year!" Bao Yugang looked worried at this time. Recently, the family has been working with him for a long time. The shipping company of the company went bankrupt, which could not help but attract Bao Yugang's attention.

The shipping industry seems to be in decline?
See Weizhi book.

Bao Yugang keenly noticed a trace of signs, and at this moment he already had the idea of ​​abandoning the ship and going ashore.

Therefore, it is even more regrettable that Wharf was not acquired.

Bao Yugang looked all over Hong Kong, and now the only British foreign firm he bought is Wheelock.

Although Wheelock's real estate business is also very strong and has a lot of land, the main industry of Wheelock is actually the shipping industry. When Bao Yugang thought of this, his tooth socket hurt. He wanted to abandon the ship and go ashore. How is it possible to buy a shipping company...

This made Bao Yugang very entangled.

As the sun set, a black Mercedes gradually disappeared under the golden afterglow.

……

Hong Kong, Chinese Land.

"Boss, although Standard Chartered Bank will provide China Landmark with a loan of nearly 600 billion Hong Kong dollars, it has only developed one-fifth of its reserve land!" Ma Shimin introduced.

"It's only 25/[-]th!" Zhang Jun was shocked when he heard this. He really didn't know how much land he owned under his name, because it was too much, and he didn't know it at all.

Due to his great ability, Ma Shimin was transferred from Hutchison Whampoa Company to China Land Company by Zhang Jun.

Hutchison Whampoa is already on the right track, and has selected a capable general manager from among the vice presidents.Moreover, the main business of Hutchison Whampoa will also turn to the port in the future.

The retail business and the food and beverage business have also become independent, and even the hotel business has been incorporated into the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group.

It can be said that Hutchison Whampoa began to concentrate on developing the port business.

"There is still so much land, we can't let it go and develop it..." Zhang Jun frowned. He is not Li Jiacheng, and he will not hold the land for more than ten years without development, waiting for the appreciation.If you have this spare time, it is better to develop it directly, make a wave of money, and then invest in the next real estate project to make another wave.

"Boss, the development cycle of commercial buildings is long and the financial pressure is high. Our funds are seriously insufficient!" Ma Shimin reminded.

Commercial buildings are mainly for the construction of shopping malls, hotels, business office buildings, etc. They make money through rent collection, and the repayment is relatively slow. Only real estate companies with strong financial resources will engage in commercial real estate development.

Ordinary real estate developers develop residential buildings. Residential buildings can engage in off-plan housing, and even sell all the houses before the construction site starts, and the developers will immediately have money to develop real estate.

Obviously, the profit of commercial real estate development is much higher than the development of residential buildings, and it can continue to collect rents in the future, which is a cash cow.

After hearing what Ma Shimin said, Zhang Jun frowned slightly.

Due to the large number of investment projects, especially the real estate industry, which is as strong as Zhang Jun, funds are also relatively tight.

I also want to invest in commercial real estate on a large scale, but I can't do it.

"The sooner the commercial real estate is developed, the more income will be gained! Don't worry, I will figure out a solution for the investment issue, and you can make a detailed plan!!" Zhang Jun said to Ma Shimin after a little thought.

Upon hearing this, Ma Shimin asked, "Boss, how much money do you plan to invest in the development of commercial real estate?"

Most of the high-quality real estate business acquired by Chinese Land in Wharf and Hong Kong Land was paid by Zhang Jun.

Although the bosses of these three companies are all Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun holds 100% of the shares in China Land, while Zhang Jun only holds more than 80% of the shares in Wharf and Hong Kong Land.

Zhang Jun thought about the company's ability to make money, and said, "We should be able to spend 100 billion Hong Kong dollars by the end of the year!!!"

Ma Shimin clicked his tongue when he heard this.

……

……

At noon, the sun was like fire.

Zhang Jun turned on the air conditioner in the office, of course it was a lot cooler.

He called Shangguan Muye, the boss of Legend Technology Company, over.

When he read the document report, he learned that Legendary Technology Company had developed a new product, and he needed to ask for more detailed information.

Hungry, of course it's not a computer...

Because the personal computer that Zhang Jun wants to develop has a set of independent and powerful operating system, and must be a graphical user interface, so the development difficulty is slightly greater.In addition, it is necessary to develop Office office tools, music players, video players, minesweepers, cards and other commonly used software.

"Infrared technology has been conquered, you can use infrared technology for electronic pet machines, and from then on you can connect with friends in electronic pet machines."

"Another breakthrough is that the home game console has finally succeeded after a long period of research and development!"

Shangguan Muye came to report to the studio, which happened to solve Zhang Jun's urgent need. He also wanted to find more money to invest in the real estate industry.

"The home game console has been successfully developed, and we need several popular games!!! Well, I have a few more interesting ideas in my mind. The names of the games are probably "Super Mario Bros.", "The Legend of Zelda," " "Contra"..."

"I'll write down the design plan later, and try to deliver it to you within three days!"

Hearing these words, Shangguan Muye was shocked and couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion, as if his pride had been hit.Shangguan Muye is also a very proud person, but in front of Zhang Jun, he feels like a poor student.

Is this true genius?
It's so awesome, the classic game idea popped up all at once, and there are still several...

Legend Technology also makes some original games, but none of them are as popular as those designed by Zhang Jun.

Throughout the history of Legend Technology, almost all the games designed by Zhang Jun have become popular all over the world.

This is also due to Guan Muye's habit of thinking that Zhang Jun has designed several classic works.

In fact, it does.

"Super Mario Bros.", "The Legend of Zelda" and "Contra" are all very popular games on the Nintendo FC red and white machine, especially "Super Mario Bros.", almost everyone knows about it, Hundreds of millions of game cartridges have been sold worldwide, which is amazing.

"Super Mario Bros.", "The Legend of Zelda" and "Contra" can also be transplanted to arcades, and the sales volume is definitely not low.

"Okay, boss, I will prepare the development team and be on call at any time!"

"Ok!"

As long as there is a detailed game design, and the development team is strong and has a large number of people, then these games can be developed within half a year, or even two or three months sooner.

"The home game console will be tested first. If there are no problems, then start building a factory and start mass production!"

After he paused, Zhang Jun thought for a while and said, "Strive to increase the production to 100 million units per month!"

After the home game console was developed, and without competitors, he didn't intend to make small profits but sell more. Wouldn't it be good to make a wave of game console money?
If there is a competitor, then start to explode the production capacity, then dump at a low price, break down the opponent's price, and let the opponent lose all their money...
