Chapter 1916 Harvest Season
Lizhi called Yin Jun and told him about the idea of the second food factory.
Yin Jun expressed his strong approval of their loan operation model.
He even told Lizhi that he should actively promote this loan for the Second Food Factory.
The 7-11 branch of Kirin Group Xiangjiang Head Office will provide them with the most sufficient information support.
If the bank still refuses to lend, Yin Jun will personally call Mr. Du and ask him to consider releasing the loan.
As for the idea of adding canned varieties to the No. 2 Food Factory, Yin Jun also agreed.
When doing business, you must not be constrained by your brain.
Seeing others succeed in doing this, everyone flocked to imitate it, but all failed, and even brought down the person who succeeded before.
There are many such things.
Only by constantly creating and innovating can we find a way out.
It is a good thing that the second food factory is willing to increase its products and launch a variety of products to compete for more market share!
With such a powerful idea and the huge system support behind them, it would be difficult for the second food factory not to succeed.
So Yin Jun admired Chen Xin even more.
Chen Xin must not know that Yin Jun has almost completely acquired 7-11 and will become the largest shareholder of 7-11 in the world.
With this status, the products of Food Factory No. 2 can not only enter Hong Kong and Thailand, but also Japan and the United States.
The market we faced at that time was huge!
The key is the market with particularly strong consumption power, which is very helpful for their sales.
If Chen Xin can really succeed this time, then Yin Jun will be ready to talk to him and ask him if he is willing to work at Qilin Group.
In a thriving company, you can never have too many talents.
Gang Leader Qiao can even use more than 100 global vice presidents. Could it be that Yin Jun has fewer talents than an Apple company?
Chen Xin may not be able to handle foreign affairs well, but if he is allowed to take charge of his own affairs at home, he will be like a duck in water.
As for whether Chen Xin is willing or not, Yin Jun is not worried at all.
He had long seen the reluctance to be lonely in Chen Xin's heart.
If he didn't have a lot of ambitions in his heart, how could Chen Xin have made so many preparations, even preparing to take on the ingredient packaging business of Kirin instant noodles?
At the end of this year, who among the ordinary directors of factories in these countries would dare to think so?
They can do their job well and ensure that their workers can eat, drink and relieve themselves. That is thank God.
If you can retire smoothly and live a comfortable life in your old age with your retirement salary, that would be the most anticipated happiness.
Since Chen Xin had the idea of making a contribution, after seeing the rapid development of the times and seeing the world further away, the No. 2 Food Factory had no way to satisfy him.
Kirin Group can.
Of course, this is at least a year or two away.
Whether Chen Xin is a talent or just a boastful person, Yin Jun needs to examine through time and achievements.
After all, he is not a reckless hero like those in his previous life, and naturally he has no experience in his previous life to look up.
It cannot be said that heroes emerge from troubled times, but in the 1980s and 1990s, there were more amazingly talented people than in the previous 30 years and the next 30 years combined.
Because in that era of opening their eyes to the world, many reckless heroes were in the most relaxed era, and it was also an era that least needed diplomas, connections and capital.
As long as they are capable and courageous enough, they can stand out.
Factory directors like Chen Xin may have lacked some luck and time, which is why they failed to become a hero in the end.
It's a coincidence.
The day after Lizhi called, Colauti happily called Yin Jun and told Yin Jun that Southern Company had decided to accept Yin Jun's proposal and sell all 7-11's American assets to the Kirin Group.
The price that Kirin Group needs to pay is the entire US$500 million, of which US$450 million will be used as the acquisition payment and will be paid within the next year.
Excluding some costs of asset inventory, accounting review, etc., Goldman Sachs' commission is as high as 30 million U.S. dollars, but it is a very cost-effective one.
If it were done by another company, how could it be done so neatly?
The 7-11 US assets acquired by Kirin Group actually do not have too many stores, with only more than 1,700 stores.
However, the number of 7-11 stores in the United States has never been too large. By 2016, they only had more than 8,300 stores, accounting for 5% of the number of convenience stores in the United States, but they were already number one in the United States. .
Like in Japan, they have more than 30,000 stores in Japan, which is basically more than all overseas stores combined.
But in this era, 7-Eleven's more than 1,700 stores are already considered No. 1 in the United States.
And its profitability is pretty good, with an annual profit rate of about 6%, which is 1 percentage point higher than the profit rate of ordinary supermarkets.
Yin Jun has never liked managing these small convenience stores on a large scale.
Japanese people are very good at it, so I'll leave it to them to handle it when the time comes.
All that is left in the negotiations on the U.S. side is the final review and signature. With Goldman Sachs as a guarantee, Yin Jun is not afraid of Southern Company going back on its word.
Southern Company would certainly not dare to provoke Goldman Sachs, even if the Japanese offered them a high inducement.
If you offend Goldman Sachs while living in the United States, they will have a hundred ways to teach you how to behave in minutes.
At the same time, Yin Jun called the 7-11 headquarters in Thailand.
The call was immediately transferred to Jin Qiuwen, and then he called back.
There is no way. Currently, there is no cellular network in Thailand, so naturally there are no mobile phones to use.
But they have already purchased the technical solution from Kirin Communications. The electronics factory in China is working hard to speed up the work and will probably go there to install signal towers and lines around June at the latest.
Because Bangkok is the only city in Thailand that has taken the lead in installing this cellular network as the first batch of pilots, it is expected to be completed within three months.
The prerequisite is that the people doing the construction are engineering team members from China, otherwise it may not be possible this time next year.
Speaking of cable lines and signal towers, domestic production was initially in Shanghai because there are many electronics factories here.
But something went wrong.
The technicians and supervisors sent by Kirin Communications raised objections to some production habits and standards in several factories.
Especially after it was supplied to Singapore for the second time, during the installation and use process, it was obvious that there was something that could not meet the requirements.
But what they said, domestic factories agreed on the surface, but in fact they did not change and went their own way.
This is due to their consistent production attitude, and they do not feel that users come first. They think that if we produce it, you can just take it and use it. If there is a problem, I will fix it.
However, this idea is not in line with modern business at all.
Why can't we do it right from the beginning instead of waiting until something goes wrong?
In this regard, Jian Wenle, the general manager of Kirin Communications, expressed his opinions fiercely but could not get a solution. He angrily reported it to the executive president Le Yiling.
Le Yiling heard the news. After carefully questioning Jian Wengle and the technicians, she directly terminated the cooperation agreement with several electronics factories in Shanghai and handed the order to Jinling without even saying hello. of two electronics factories.
All technical personnel evacuated and all supervisory personnel evacuated and went directly to Jinling.
This made several electronics factories in Shanghai dumbfounded.
How could this be?
Why do you say you won’t do it if you don’t do it?
Moreover, Le Yiling was ruthless and did not pay a penny of compensation. On the grounds that they had seriously breached the contract, a large amount of the equipment they produced was piled up there without payment.
This time it really stirred up a stir.
We even made trouble directly with Mr. Du.
After understanding the situation, Mr. Du did not hesitate to tell the directors, deputy directors, and production workshop directors of several factories to get out and send people from other factories to take over.
Then he called Le Yiling to apologize and seek forgiveness.
Even if Mr. Du personally took the initiative, Le Yiling didn't buy it. In the end, they managed to get half of the order back, and all unqualified products were not purchased, causing them to bear huge losses.
After such a fuss, Shanghai and Hainan no longer dared to deal with the technical staff of Kirin Communications, and their competition with Jinling also ensured the quality of the products.
This also made Yin Jun understand better that only competition can make progress. If it is a monopoly by one company, problems will arise no matter what.
Especially when it comes to supply chain, relying on only one supplier is definitely not a good thing.
Come back to the present.
Jin Qiuwen hurriedly returned to the office and called Yin Jun, only to learn that 7-11 of the United States had officially acquired it.
"Very good!"
Jin Qiuwen said happily, "We have opened 1,900 stores here. In fact, the remaining 100 stores have been prepared for a long time and can be opened at any time. I deliberately slowed down to confuse the Japanese."
"Haha, the Japanese are not stupid!" Yin Jun laughed.
"But they didn't expect that we would fulfill both conditions at the same time, so they would have no choice but to regret it!" Jin Qiuwen said proudly.
After several years of training in Thailand, he is much smarter and more capable than he was in Xiangjiang.
"Well, get ready, let's open everything within a week!" Yin Jun nodded and said, "After preparing for so long, it's time for us to successfully close the network!"
"yes!"
When Jin Qiuwen hung up the phone, he was silent for a long time.
Unconsciously, there were tears on his face.
All these years of hard work away from home have really paid off, and the harvest season is finally here!
