Rebirth of the 92 Business Tycoon

Chicago, once the tallest building in the world, is now the tallest building in North America, once the world's largest private retail company, the headquarters building of Sears Roebuck, on the 103rd floor observation platform of the Sears Tower.

The whole person is like a volley, standing in a viewing platform made of glass, even if he has overcome his fear of heights, Feng Yiping still feels a little dizzy.

Huang Jingping, who was holding his hand, was also a little nervous, focusing on the beautiful scenery in the distance, and only occasionally glanced at the glass floor under her feet.

The glass under your feet is more than 400 meters above the ground. As long as it is not those with very big nerves, anyone walking on it will be a little unreliable.

Mike and Hong Haoran, standing in the middle of the hall, seemed to be seriously discussing something very important, and ignored Feng Yiping's invitation.

The one who feels the best is Jin Ling, who has been strolling beside him, "In this weather, I should be able to see the surrounding four states,"

Since you are so relaxed, don't hold your chest with your hands. Doing this action does not mean that you are actually a little nervous?

Mr. Flynn, who was sent by Sears to receive them, always kept the smile of a mall waiter standard, and stood aside as a mall waiter.

Feng Yiping finally showed off his fearless courage, and led Huang Jingping back, "Thank you for waiting,"

"This is my duty," Flynn said with a smile, "I just received the notice that the vice president Thomas has returned to the company and is waiting for several people."

"Sorry, let's go down here,"

It seems that when you reach a certain level, work and life are really hard to separate.

Of course, Feng Yiping and the others were not just for sightseeing. They mainly came to Sears to visit and study.

The retail industry is not a good place for chaos. Kmart, which once held the top spot in the US retail industry for more than a decade, is now on the verge of bankruptcy. This is also a good warning for them.

And it is also a century-old store, although it is also not as good as the younger Wal-Mart, but Sears. Now they are still very strong. Since they are in Chicago, they have to absorb some nutrients from them.

The vice president Thomas is a short middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle. He looks very organized. Very calm, the kind of person who didn't change color before Taishan collapsed, had a sense of honor and disgrace, looking at the flowers in front of the court.

This is in line with the temperament of their company's century-old store.

Only a newborn calf like Youjia can plow hard and turn the horns at others from time to time.

"Sit down, please," Mr. Thomas was polite with some distance.

From a general point of view, as a company with annual sales of more than 40 billion US dollars, last year's Fortune Global 500 company ranked 59th as the vice president of the company. At this time, it was a shame to be able to meet Feng Yiping and the others.

As for his attitude at this time, Feng Yiping can also understand that, regardless of profitability, the two companies are now compared, just like giants and babies, not on the same level.

But hey, don't bully the young man! Wal-Mart, which Sears didn't care about at all, has now thrown him out of dozens of streets.

And Wal-Mart has entered the mobile Internet era. Life is not easy, and the path that the buddies insist on now represents the advanced productivity and production direction, and the counterattack in the future. I am very sure of that.

"Mr. Feng's masterpiece, we have read carefully and were very inspired."

"It's my honor," Feng Yiping said.

"Yesterday's speech was also very good," Thomas said, pointing to the Chicago local newspaper on the conference table. "It's a pity that I was not there yesterday,"

Yes, a large company like Sears that has shops all over the place also uses maps to analyze location selection, so they are also NAVTEQ customers.

"Thank you. In fact, I admire your company even more. It has been established for hundreds of years, but still maintains this rapid growth company."

Regardless of whether they are domestic or foreign, the greetings seem to be touted to each other.

To get the personal praise from the author of the best-selling business book, Thomas also has a bright face, "The most important thing is to adjust the business strategy in a timely and decisive manner in response to the form. At this point, I have to say that you have proposed the blue ocean strategy. It opened a door for us,"

Although he is somewhat self-confident, he did a good job of the matters agreed in advance. Using standard slides, he introduced the development history of Sears, and briefly introduced what measures they took to make Stand for a hundred years without fail.

Jin Ling listened and looked at Feng Yiping, "Why do some of your ideas and practices are exactly the same as theirs?"

Isn’t it? For example, Sears’ three major management principles are, first, to ensure low sales through bulk and cash, but to ensure quality.

Paying cash guarantees you can get a lower price. Youjia did this from the beginning.

Second, reduce the cost of sales by minimizing the shipping costs of the goods, but the quality and quantity must be maintained.

Under Feng Yiping's insistence, Youjia has actually gone a step further. Not only has it established a logistics company to reduce transportation costs, it also reduces sales costs through systematic and refined inventory management.

Third, increase total profit through small profits but quick turnover, but quality must be guaranteed.

The holiday promotion advocated by Feng Yiping is for this purpose.

In addition, selling a large number of homemade products is the direction Youjia is working on.

However, in addition to its own factory production, Sears also has many cooperating OEM manufacturers who entrust them to produce some designated products, while Sears is only responsible for sending personnel to the production line to be responsible for supervision and subsequent acceptance.

This can be considered after the town’s industrial park is built.

It is not good for all the factories to be run by their own family. It is only by motivating everyone to develop fast.

With regard to store construction, Feng Yiping's approach is similar to that of Sears. It is also self-built and self-built, and also has its own design and decoration company.

Therefore, Thomas’s very laborious introduction is actually nothing new to them.

However, it was not without effect. After listening to this remark, they also strengthened their determination to follow Feng Yiping's will in the future.

"It turns out that we have adopted the same strategy as these international giants?" said goodbye to Sears, Jin Ling said.

"In some ways, they are better than them," Hong Haoran said.

"That's because their company is too large, and command and adjustment are not as easy as ours," Feng Yiping said of course to be self-effacing.

After completing the scheduled itinerary, Feng Yiping stayed for another day. When he came to this financial center, he naturally had to save some ammunition for the future. There is only one such thing as 9/11 in the United States. It is really not to miss.

…………

The contract with the company was very low-key. No outsiders were invited, and all the original staff were retained, but there was an extra office in the company.

However, Feng Yiping estimates that after sorting out some of the future development trends of electronic map technology in his memory, and taking these as the direction of next research and development, he should not have much time to stay in this office.

Whether it is Harvard or Stanford, studying in their business school will definitely not be easy.

"What are your requirements for the president here?" Jin Ling asked.

"Our shortcomings here are mainly lacking in government relations. According to the rules of the game here, through various public relations companies and their own contacts, the giants are seeking to exert reasonable and legal influence on governments at all levels. force.

The US government, like our country, does not provide super national treatment to foreign capital. For companies with Chinese-funded backgrounds like us, the requirements will only be stricter. Therefore, in addition to other requirements, it is best for this vice president to have The experience of working in Washington, it is best to have a good relationship between politics and business."

Feng Yiping can grasp the problems of the company's development strategy. What he needs is still like Jin Ling, who can integrate various influences and perfectly execute the matters that Feng Yiping has assigned.

"For such a person, it is certainly not easy to find an ideal one," Jin Ling said.

Of course not easy.

After the US president retired, he was also very active. For example, the former President Mr. Clinton was making money by making speeches this year-the zipper door incident cost him huge legal fees.

Those other senior officials who have retired, such as the secretary of state, usually go to consulting companies. Ministers can also turn around and become presidents~www.wuxiaspot.com~. However, with the current conditions of Jiasheng, I would like to invite such a big coffee. Difficult. Although it is possible to spend a lot of money, it is very unnecessary.

"At present, the arrangements have been arranged, and it is not too urgent. Let the major headhunting companies entrust them," Feng Yiping said.

"That's the only way,"

…………

On the way home, Jin Ling, who was still rushing to drive, said suddenly, "Did you know? Technology is developing so fast now, what you said you can’t do, maybe in the future Can be achieved,"

Feng Yiping was at a loss, what did this mean?

Huang Jingping guessed what Jin Ling was talking about, "Really Sister Jin, men can also have children?"

"It should be possible in the future, but it's going to be a gender change operation,"

Feng Yiping,... (To be continued.)
