My 1999

"Mr. Xu, even if you sell No. 1 offline boutiques, it won't be enough for 1.5 billion US dollars. Do you think...?"

"Old money, increase revenue and reduce expenditure, increase revenue and reduce expenditure, why have you forgotten?" Xu Liang knocked on the table.

"Mr. Xu, please spare me. I really can't understand your true meaning with my thick head."

Qian Santai smiled bitterly.

Xu Liang smiled and didn't show off.

“The essence of Yihaodian is a store, and the purpose of a store is to sell things, so we are ultimately a channel provider.

How do channel merchants make money? "

Qian Santai used to do supermarket shopping and has rich experience.

"Keep the purchase price down and raise the selling price."

"That's right."

An idea flashed in Qian Santai's mind and he blurted out: "Mr. Xu, you mean, we get the goods from the manufacturers ourselves and then sell them through the No. 1 store network?"

"Smart. Nowadays, the products online are mainly low-priced books and clothes, while precious jewelry and 3C home appliances are very rare.

Why? "

"Because customers are worried that they will be deceived."

Qian Santai said quickly.

After Xu Liang nodded, "Our No. 1 store can launch a self-operated business and purchase goods directly from regular manufacturers. This can not only ensure the quality, but also lower the purchase price through large quantities.

It can also enrich the categories of 3C products and high-value commodities on the website.

Increase revenue and net profit. "

Yihaodian is following the path of JD.com.

Of course, self-operated business must also be arranged.

After thinking for a while, Qian Santai said, "Mr. Xu, you have a good idea. But if you want to sell home appliances well, after-sales service is the key. We don't have a repair point, so it may be difficult to open up sales."

"It doesn't matter. We can cooperate with the manufacturer's maintenance points. In addition, there are scattered personal maintenance points now, whether in cities or rural areas, and we can cooperate with them.

We provide brand licensing and drive traffic to their repair shops, and they pay a small licensing fee every year.

Moreover, we can also set up maintenance training courses to allow them to improve their maintenance level through further training.

If done well, this can become a profit growth point for the company. "

Qian Santai's eyes lit up. His original idea was to make money by opening up logistics, but he was worried about affecting the after-sales experience of No. 1 Store.

But the boss's two methods are not only better than his method, but also have no worries.

"Mr. Xu, you are still awesome."

"Stop flattering and make a plan for me this afternoon and hand it in. If you don't do it well, I'll kick you."

"Haha, don't worry. Over the years, when have I ever lost my money to you?"

After saying that, he stood up.

"Mr. Xu, if you are okay, I will go back first."

"Go ahead."

Xu Liang waved his hand.

Seeing Qian Santai's back quickly leaving, Xu Liang sighed.

The bigger the company, the harder it is to be the boss.

Especially for talented company elites, while respecting them and letting them follow your baton, it is a test of the leader's wisdom and skill.

Boss tyrants and the like are only things that appear in novels.

People who are truly capable have pride in their hearts.

If they don't get respect, they will turn around, resign and leave with a look on their face.

If you don’t leave me here, you will have my own place to stay.

Only those who are incapable of messing around will cowardly and flatter you.

Looked at the time.

Xu Liang picked up the phone on the table and dialed.

"Mr. Xu."

"How are the talks with Jiangsu Province going?"

"We're basically done talking. Jinling gave us two plots of land, one in Suzhou and four in Wuxi. It's better than we originally expected." Lu Jue said happily.

"That's good. When choosing a site, remember my requirements. First, it must be large; second, the location must be excellent, and it must be as close to the main road and the central business district as possible."

"Don't worry, I'll remember it all."

"Also, send someone to Hongmeng to discuss the acquisition of offline stores with No. 1 Store."

"Okay, I'll organize a negotiation team right away." Lu Jue said happily.

"That's it, call me if you need anything."

"OK."

Xu Liang sighed after hanging up the phone.

The foundation of Taihua Group is getting stronger and stronger. When the Nanyang market is opened in the future, Xu Family Trust No. 3 can truly gain a foothold in Singapore.

Dong Dong…….

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Lu Hui, who had finished her annual vacation, opened the door and walked in.

"Mr. Xu, President Kerr from Universal Studios is here."

"Let him in."

Jacquin Kerr walked over quickly.

He came to the capital to attend a meeting at the headquarters and reported to Xu Liang on the progress of his work.

"BOSS."

"sit."

Lu Hui brought over a cup of coffee and a cup of green tea.

After saying 'thank you', Jacquin said quickly.

"BOSS, of the three negotiation teams we have sent out, the one in the Demon City that is progressing the best is the one in the Demon City.

Our two parties have initialed an investment agreement. Universal Studios will invest US$2 billion, plus technology and branding, accounting for 80% of the shares; Magic City will invest in 6,000 acres of land, and the policy of tax exemption for three years and half tax for two years, accounting for 20% of the shares. %; both parties jointly established Magic City Universal Studios Company.

The development site is Dapu, Pudong New Area. "

Xu Liang took the map and took a look.

Much closer to the city center than Disneyland would be a decade later.

This is normal. After all, the current population of the city is only over 10 million. The development of Pudong has only just begun ten years ago. The inner and outer rings are basically suburbs.

Oura is still farming.

The Magic City has made great efforts to relocate the huge Universal Studios.

"In addition, the Shanghai Municipal Government promised to extend Metro Line 2 within three years and solve the water and electricity problems."

"It is indeed very sincere. But it cannot really be successful. It still needs approval from above."

Jacquin nodded and sighed.

"If we can't get approval, the contract we initialed won't have any legal effect."

Xu Liang had long thought that this would be the case.

The scale of investment is huge, it is a top brand like Universal Studios, it is a pollution-free tourism industry, and it is endorsed by Xu Liang.

No matter how you look at it, it is a safe and cost-effective investment, and the local government is certainly very enthusiastic.

However, the above considerations will be more comprehensive, and coupled with various opinions, there will be a situation of long delay.

"What did the capital say?"

“The other party also sent a relatively high-level team to talk to us, but their mobility was obviously not as good as that of the Magic City side.

So far, there is not even an intentional contract. "

Jacquin was obviously a little resentful.

But he can understand the capital side.

Anyone who comes across World Style Park and Wardland Park, two of the worst in the world, will feel repulsed by investment in theme parks.

Previous life.

Universal Studios and Disney entered China at almost the same time. One chose the Magic City and the other chose the capital.

As a result, all the parks in the Magic City were opened, but no construction was started in the capital.

The long negotiations took too long.

Unfortunately, Universal Studios was hit by the epidemic as soon as it opened, and it was not profitable until Xu Liang was reborn.

"Let's talk about it first with the capital."

"BOSS, I saw people from Disney in the capital, led by Disneyland CEO Hill Sverak."

Xu Liang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Disney's actions are not slow."

"BOSS, should we snipe?"

"It's not necessary. Even if Beijing builds a theme park, our advantage will be greater."

Just kidding, with my father-in-law sitting there, it’s impossible for outsiders to pick the fruit.

However, it is impossible for my father-in-law to help him disobey the will of the entire capital leadership.

I can only give it a push at the end.

Jacquin nodded. Hongmeng is still a Chinese company. Under the same conditions, the government certainly has no reason to turn its elbows outward.

"The most important thing for us at this stage is to kill the Magic City side first, and then we can follow suit in the capital city. I guess there will be results in a while."

Xu Liang speculated that the capital side would still be the same as in the previous life. Only when the Magic City side opened and the results were good, negotiations would actually begin.

"How's it going in Osaka?"

"Japan offered $3 billion."

"$3 billion?!"

"BOSS, I absolutely cannot agree. Those hateful little dwarfs are too greedy. The investment in the entire Osaka Universal Park is only US$1.8 billion, and they have made a lot of money since the park opened.

3 billion? It's just robbery. ” Jacquin was indignant.

Xu Liang nodded slowly.

Since the B round of financing, everyone knows that Hongmeng has money, so every time they acquire other people’s companies, the other parties will ask high prices to take a bite out of them.

The investor in Osaka Universal Park is just one of them, and the one with the biggest appetite.

"Negotiations with Universal Studios Osaka are on hold."

Since now is not a good opportunity for acquisition, then wait.

Anyway, we are only a few years away from the subprime mortgage crisis, and it will not be too late to take action by then.

"OK."

"Jacquin, what are your thoughts on the construction of Universal Studios Shanghai?"

Jacquin Kerr was stunned for a moment.

"BOSS, I don't quite understand what you mean?"

“Universal Studios’ current operating philosophy is ‘movie studio experience tours.’ Although it benefits from the traffic brought by classic movies, most Chinese people are not very interested in Hollywood movies.

If Universal Studios still sticks to its old ways, it may be difficult to make a profit in China.

Therefore, my idea is that Universal Studios will localize it on the basis of the 'Movie Studio Experience Tour', and combine it with content such as "Journey to the West" and "Water Margin" which have a huge audience in China, to build a 3- to 6-year-old A new park targeting younger children and targeting families and tourists. "

A very important reason why Universal Studios lags behind Disney is that Disney is suitable for all ages.

Universal Studios attracts movie fans.

One market is broad and the other is narrow.

Performance is naturally different.

"BOSS, I'm afraid this will cause turmoil within Universal Studios." Jacques Kerr said.

Xu Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, "Including you?"

This plain sentence made Jacques Kerr feel nervous instantly.

The most frightening moment of a tiger is not when it pounces, but when it calms down and stares at you.
