Rebirth: From arcade game to business empire

Acquisition of Jardine Matheson.

To some extent, the influence on forestry and animal husbandry is greater.

The acquisition of Wheelock was because John Madden was not here, and he was not optimistic about the future development of Xiangjiang, so he sold Wheelock to Lin Mu.

The total cost was HK$2.4 billion.

The acquisition of Hutchison & Co. was to take advantage of the oil crisis and when Hutchison & Co. was too busy to take care of itself, Lin Mu took the opportunity to make a move at a lower price, about 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

Together, it cost less than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars.

However, in the eyes of the outside world, Lin Mu is a trick.

So far, there are still many people who are laughing at Wheelock and John Madden, okay, why did you sell Wheelock and sell it cheaply.

The acquisition of Hutchison & Co. is somewhat a bit of a robbery while the fire is burning.

Although Lin Mu did succeed, and won the vast majority of the two businesses, forming a new company, Huihe Huangpu, and, taking advantage of the oil crisis, he was still frantically copying the bottom and establishing a stable sales system in Europe.

And this time, the acquisition of Jardine Matheson, this is a mighty and overwhelming force.

Directly relying on strong capital and strength, directly crushing the past, so that both Jardine Matheson and Co., Ltd. have no power to fight back.

1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, in fact, it is still earned.

Jardine Matheson no longer has so much capital.

Without Hongkong Land and Wharf, Jardine Matheson was already lying on its stomach, and now in the face of Ma Shimin's strong acquisition, Jardine Matheson finally chose to be merged.

This foreign firm, which has existed since the Opium War, is now completely in the hands of Lin Mu.

Speaking of which, Ma Shimin also walked out of Jardine Ocean.

Now, this can be regarded as a big revenge, and he has acquired his old club.

Lin Mu was also generous, and directly threw a large bonus to Ma Shimin to let him spend recklessly, but on the other hand, Lin Mu was not in a hurry.

Now, Lin Mu is most worried about the problem of the shopping festival.

"So, to sum up, there will still be a lot of inconvenient things for Xiangjiang citizens when shopping, so can we set up our own logistics company, so that all Xiangjiang citizens do not need to personally carry the products home after buying my door, but let our logistics company be responsible for transportation!"

"Of course!" Lin Mu smiled and said, "We still have to do a good job of coordination, the logistics company does not ask the buyer for money, but to ask the seller for money, of course, on the other hand, it is also possible for consumers and merchants to discuss how to deliver goods to the door!"

"First of all, one thing we need to consider is that the speed should be fast, my plan is to now use Xiangjiang as a pilot, if we can, we are promoting it to the whole of Southeast Asia, of course, if we are more lucky, we can also develop our model towards Europe and the United States!"

To open a ground logistics company, a few years ago, Lin Mu also discussed with the charter king.

However, the charter king thought that the time was not very ripe, and this idea was put on hold, but for the current Lin Mu, the opportunity is also ripe.

Lin Mu himself thinks that he is not mature, but with the strength of the shopping festival, Lin Mu thinks that he can try it.

"First of all, the things that the citizens of Xiangjiang buy may not be the same, but so diverse!"

Lin Mu said slowly: "If they are carrying large bags and small bags, they must not be so enthusiastic about shopping, but if they buy household appliances and we are responsible for delivering them to the door, and they are empty-handed, then, can we let them buy more products?"

Speaking of this, Lin Mu paused slightly, and continued: "This is not my word, everyone will express their opinions!"

"I think, this is not impossible!" Chen Xiaozhong said slowly: "I think you can try it, boss, you are right, if it can be convenient for consumers, then for us, they must be willing to shop!"

"Old Ma, what do you think?" Lin Mu's gaze fell on Le Ma Shimin.

Ma Shimin smiled bitterly, and then said slowly: "Boss, you said so, I don't have any objections, but my main consideration is the overseas market, if they come to Xiangjiang to buy products, our shipping time is too long, and it will cause them to be dissatisfied after a long time!"

"Huh?"

Lin Mu squinted his eyes and said slowly: "You see it's not okay, don't we have our own supermarket overseas? In addition, don't we also have our own warehouse? We can prepare more, once they order from us, send it directly from our overseas warehouse!"

"But in this case, the problem we need to consider is that our products are all value-added tax!" Ma Shimin said slowly: "For them, the price is different, and they may come to Xiangjiang to get cheap!"

"It's a hassle, then, let's tell them in advance when they buy, of course, we can also tell them that they need to bear the overseas logistics costs, you calculate the cost and the tax in Europe, which is more cost-effective!"

In the face of this situation, Lin Mu also did not have a good opinion.

After chatting for a while, Huo Jianning said slowly: "I still have a question, which we need to consider, that is, the logistics problems of our local Xiangjiang, whether we can deliver to the door on time, whether we can deliver goods quickly, and how to contact them, these are all problems!"

"The problem of door-to-door delivery is not easy to solve, but we can set up a service station in their community, and after the payment arrives, send a message to their BB machine and call them!" Lin Mu said quickly: "At present, there is only this we can do, in short, our purpose is also very simple, that is, to serve consumers to the greatest extent!"

At this point, the others have nothing to say.

Lin Mu's words are also right, the more satisfied consumers are, the more they will shop, because they really don't count in their hearts.

At the end of the day's meeting, Lin Mu was ready to rest.

"Which girl should I find at night?"

When he was sitting in the car, Zuo Shi couldn't help but shout: "Boss, now the media have begun to call you the king of Xiangjiang!"
