Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1069 Meeting 2
After chatting aimlessly for a while, they were almost done with the yakitori, so Toshifumi Suzuki spoke directly.

"Since Jiang Sang acquired the 7-11 convenience store company, he must be very optimistic about this company."

When Jiang Yan heard Suzuki Toshifumi say this, he knew the climax of the show was about to begin.

"Yes, I am very optimistic about 7-11 convenience stores. According to the information I have now, there are almost more than 7 11-5000 convenience stores in Jiaobenji."

日本7-11把各单体商店按7-11的统一模式管理。自营的小型零售业，例如小杂货店或小酒店在经日本7-11许可后，按日本7-11的指导原则改建为7-11门店，日本7-11随之提供独特的标准化销售技术给各门店，并决定每个门店的销售品类。

"In fact, I am most optimistic about 7-11 because of its advanced logistics system and flexible business model."

姜言说这话并无道理，日本7-11把各单体商店按7-11的统一模式管理。自营的小型零售业，例如小杂货店或小酒店在经日本7-11许可后，按日本7-11的指导原则改建为7-11门店，日本7-11随之提供独特的标准化销售技术给各门店，并决定每个门店的销售品类。

This type of convenience store relies on frequent purchases in small batches. Only by utilizing an advanced logistics system can a convenience store chain be developed because it makes frequent purchases in small batches possible.

A typical 7-11 convenience store is very small, with an average floor area of ​​only about 100 square meters, but even such a store offers more than 3000 kinds of daily necessities.

Although convenience stores offer a wide variety of products, they usually do not have storage space. In order to increase sales, the sales area should be as large as possible. In this way, all products must be replenished in a timely manner through the distribution center. If a consumer cannot buy the products he should buy when he visits the store, the store will lose a sales opportunity and the image of the convenience store will be damaged. All retail companies believe that this must be avoided first.

7-11 reformed its distribution channels by integrating and restructuring them. Under the new distribution system, a commissioned wholesaler was assigned to be responsible for several sales activity areas and authorized to operate products from different manufacturers.

In addition, by signing sales agreements with wholesalers and manufacturers, 7-11 is able to develop efficient distribution channels connecting all stores.

In other words, wholesalers are managers of distribution centers that deliver goods to convenience store outlets.

而7-11本身并没在配送中心上投资，好多都是批发商自筹资金建设配送中心，然后在日本7-11的指导下进行管理。通过这种协议，日本7-11无需承受任何沉重的投资负担就能为其门店建立一个有效率的分销系统。

In order to cooperate with 7-11 Japan, many wholesalers are willing to make necessary investments in distribution centers; in return, wholesalers are able to enter a vast market. 7-11 Japan reorganized wholesalers and retailers and changed the original distribution channels. Thus, with the advanced logistics system, a variety of goods are properly stocked, well-kept, and efficiently distributed to all chain stores.

This is 7-11’s latest marketing method. I have to say that Toshifumi Suzuki is quite talented in coming up with this sales method.

After Jiang Yan's in-depth understanding, he realized that even if you understand this sales method, it cannot be copied, because there are many human factors involved at the beginning. Putting aside the human factors, if this new logistics method is fully introduced, the investment will be quite huge. So Jiang Yan thought about it and decided to recruit Suzuki Toshifumi under his command.

"Mr. Jiang has some understanding of this kind of marketing method." When Suzuki Toshifumi heard Jiang Yan mention the logistics and sales methods that he was proud of, he put down his work and asked.

"Yes, I have to say that the person who can invent this method is a genius. It saves a lot of costs."

"Mr. Jiang, you are exaggerating. Compared with you, what I have done is nothing worth mentioning." Suzuki Toshifumi said modestly.

"But I appreciate this sales method, but I like the special foods inside more." "Oh! I don't know what Mr. Jiang likes." Suzuki Toshifumi said.

"Slurpee," Jiang Yan said directly.

7-Eleven has several products sold around the world, including the Slurpee mentioned by Jiang Yan.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this thing is quite simple. It is a carbonated drink frozen in the shape of a smoothie, but it is sold exclusively at 7-Eleven. Because of its good quality and low price, Slurpee has become the choice of many people to cool down in the summer.

"Jiang Sang, please forgive me for being blunt. I believe that most of the shares have already been in your hands. The 21.9% of shares in my hands may be the only remaining shares. I wonder how you will deal with them."

Hearing him say this, Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Rather than me valuing the shares in your hands, I would rather value you, Suzuki-san, as a person. I have always believed that the convenience store project can only be developed and flourished in your hands." Jiang Yan took a sip of wine and said with a smile.

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Suzuki Toshifumi's eyes lit up. To be honest, the purpose of his coming to see Jiang Yan today was a bit like self-recommendation.

This convenience store project was promoted by him personally, and it was like his own child. It was obvious that Suzuki Toshifumi was reluctant to give it up, so he wanted to meet Jiang Yan to see his attitude.

"I have done a business plan with my superiors before. My plan is to have 10,000 convenience stores by the end of this year, fully covering the entire foot basin chicken market."

"But Jiang Sang, you also know that the stock market collapsed too quickly this time. This plan was pushed back before it could be implemented, and the convenience store project was acquired by you."

"Not only did I acquire the convenience store project, I also acquired almost all of Ito-Yokado's shares, as well as several large department stores including Seibu Department Store. I want to reorganize these companies into a new department store group. I believe this department store group will be one of the most prominent groups in the country."

"I would like to hire you as the general manager of the group, responsible for all business. As for your shares in the convenience store, I can decide. It will be converted into 5% of the group's shares. In addition, you can also enjoy 5% of the company's stock dividends. Of course, this part of the shares will require the board of directors to evaluate you at the end of the year. Then, if you resign or leave the group, the shares will be taken back."

"As long as you retire normally from the company, the company can also subsidize you with a one-time subsidy of 5% of your dividends for two years. What do you think?"

Suzuki Toshifumi heard that Jiang Yan not only acquired his former superior company Ito-Yokado, but also acquired the quite famous Seibu Department Store.

You have to know that regardless of the others, just these two companies, their market influence and scale are unmatched by the current 711- convenience stores. These shares of mine are converted into % of the shares of the entire group company, which is obviously a bargain for me.

At the same time, he was shocked by Jiang Yan's generosity, and suddenly had the idea that a gentleman would die for his friend.

"Please take care of me in the future, Mr. Jiang." After thinking for a while, Toshifumi Suzuki got up from his seat and bowed to Jiang Yan at a ninety degree angle.

"Then you are welcome to join us." Jiang Yan raised his glass and spoke with a smile.
