Resource Tycoon Reborn

After an hour and a half of back-and-forth between Fang Mingyuan and Williams, the two parties finally reached a basic consensus. Chevron Petroleum Company will pay for other oil projects in China except the Liaodong Bay offshore oil field project in the Bohai Sea, as well as the company's hundreds of millions of dollars.

2.1% of the shares, US$3.7 billion in cash and four production technology transfers, to acquire all Yahoo shares from Fang Mingyuan. The contract will take effect from the time of formal signing, but it cannot be publicly announced within six months.

Although there are fewer shares, Fang Mingyuan is quite satisfied with the transfer of four more technologies. As a world-renowned oil company, Chevron Petroleum Company still has many world-leading technologies. Although

It is said that the U.S. government has always strictly controlled technology exports, but after all, some technologies are not controlled. Just because the price is relatively high, domestic companies cannot be cruel enough to buy them.

But in Fang Mingyuan's view, no matter how much Chevron Petroleum Company offered on several technologies, he would not lose money on this deal no matter how he calculated it. If the capital invested in Yahoo back then exceeded ten million US dollars, he would still want to

He couldn't get up. Now his investment has increased by more than a hundred times. Even taking into account the depreciation of the US dollar in recent years, the profits here are enough to stun those insiders. And more importantly, he knows that if this investment is not sold,

If you go out, it will start to shrink in less than half a year, and it will shrink significantly. Although it is impossible to lose money no matter how you compensate, it is naturally better to have this money in your pocket.

Therefore, for Lei Feng's Chevron Oil Company, the technology transfer fee is higher, and he doesn't care.

Williams was also very happy at this time. Although China's oil project ultimately only retained the offshore oil field project in the Liaodong Bay of the Bohai Sea, and Fang Mingyuan got 2.1% of the company's shares, but in the end

Compared with the initial asking price of Fang Mingyuan, it was already much more satisfactory. Especially the transfer fees for the four production technologies, which were at standard market prices, did not allow Fang Mingyuan to take any advantage at all, which made him very satisfied.

The next thing is much simpler, that is, the staff of both parties jointly draft a formal contract text and conduct specific negotiations on some minutiae. However, both Fang Mingyuan and Williams negotiate with their own parties in private.

The staff talked and asked to reach an agreement as soon as possible. It would be best to get those things that are necessary or unnecessary. If you can’t get them, forget it. In such a friendly environment, the staff of both parties

The "work efficiency" can be imagined.

At noon on January 17, when the two parties signed and exchanged the contract, both Fang Mingyuan and Williams secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Williams flew away contentedly. Yahoo's market value was still rising, which made him feel very good. As for how long his good mood could be maintained, that was not what Fang Mingyuan needed to worry about. Now he

I pray that the Nasdaq Composite Index can hold on for a few more days. It is best to wait until May or June before it collapses. Then the Fang family will not be able to be hit by eight poles.

In the following days, Fang Mingyuan was busy in Japan with the rectification work of Sogo0 Co., Ltd., and also lived a happy life as three people with Lin Lian and Uda Mitsuri. Fortunately, this year's Spring Festival is in February, and they still

There is quite a lot of time.

The Mizunan family has been squeezed out of the Sogo0 Co., Ltd., and two-thirds of the Mizunan family's shares have been swallowed up by Fang Mingyuan, while the rest has been divided up by other shareholders. Now the Fang family's shares are in the Sogo0 Co., Ltd.

China is already an absolute controlling shareholder. Even on the board of directors, Fang Mingyuan can say that no one can compete with him.

These days, with the help of the shareholder trend of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Sogo0 Co., Ltd. has made a big appearance in the media, which has led to a general increase in the performance of its stores. In addition, Fang Mingyuan has transferred 4.3 billion US dollars of debt to

For the sake of equity and without heavy debt, the performance in the first half of January was the best for the Sogo0 Co., Ltd. Group during the same period in recent years.

However, Fang Mingyuan understood that all this was only temporary. If he could not come up with precise and effective improvement measures, as this fresh air passed, Sogo0 Co., Ltd. Group would still slowly go back to the old path.

Although I will definitely not be as low on capital and on the verge of bankruptcy as before, if I just want to make ends meet, then I have invested so much money in the Sogo0 Co., Ltd. Group, which is an outright failure!

They are the ones who are trying to solve the employment problem for the Japanese! With these billions of dollars, where can I invest them? Even the worst result is that they can also be thrown into the account of the Second Gulf Bank to earn interest, and they can also be used for

Gulf Second Bank has more loan funds.

However, there is also some good news. After learning that Fang Mingyuan took over the Sogo0 Co., Ltd. Group, the Japanese government proactively offered to reduce or exempt part of the Sogo0 Co., Ltd. Group's taxes this year, and promised to help the Sogo0 Co., Ltd. Group coordinate in many aspects. Especially

The Sogo0 Co., Ltd. Group still owes more than 4 billion US dollars in debt.

Fang Mingyuan naturally accepted the Japanese government's goodwill approach. This is undoubtedly a wise approach. For the Japanese government, Sogo0 Co., Ltd. can escape the fate of bankruptcy. It can not only avoid the fate of a large number of people

The risk of unemployment, and more importantly, in this way, can avoid the domino effect caused by the bankruptcy of Sogo0 Co., Ltd. Group and the inability of banks and suppliers to recover their arrears. The operation of Sogo0 Co., Ltd. Group

The improvement in the situation has undoubtedly relieved the already troubled Japanese financial system and defused a time bomb.

Of course, the Japanese government does not want Sogo0 Co., Ltd. to fall into crisis again, so it takes this opportunity to help Sogo0 Co., Ltd. reduce financial pressure on the one hand, and to show its goodwill to Fang Mingyuan and ease the previous deadlock caused by Masaaki Murakami.

.

Lu Guangrong had been in office for nearly half a month at this time. During this half month, he visited all the stores of Sogo0 Co., Ltd. Group in Japan. After studying the locations of these stores and their respective characteristics, he proposed

Provide preliminary suggestions for improvements to these stores.

"Master Fang, I think these stores should no longer serve all Japanese citizens as their market strategy, but should re-screen their customer groups, narrow the target market, and carry out targeted sales. For example, the Tama branch, which is located at the same time as it

There are four large department stores on the same street: Tokyu TOKYU, Seibu, PARCO, and Marui. The competition can be said to be very fierce. I have seen the population distribution of the Tama area. It is located in nature and is far away from the center of Tokyo.

The journey takes only two hours. The local population is more than four million. If you include the tourists who come for tourism, it can be said that the passenger flow is quite considerable. However, the customer groups of these five large department stores are all

Targeting all age groups, in this case, direct competition will form. My opinion is that the Tama branch can focus on the needs of customers in the age group of 20 to 50 and reposition it." Lu Guangrong said eloquently.

Fang Mingyuan nodded slightly. Lu Guangrong's proposal still made sense. In this way, he could stand out among the five large department stores. Moreover, the age group of 20 to 50 years old is the main force of consumption.

"Second, I think that most of the new stores built by the group are large buildings with more than ten floors, so they should develop into complex types. For example, various independent small shops, furniture stores, home appliance chain stores, and bars will be set up in the store.

, fast food restaurants, gyms, food stores, entertainment centers, galleries, and even movie theaters, swimming pools, beauty and weight loss, etc. The ground floor is mainly fresh food supermarkets, and the top floor is mainly catering. At the same time, you can appropriately add such as male

, the proportion of advantageous products in department stores such as women's clothing. In this way, customers can meet all their needs in the mall without going out. If Mr. Fang approves it, I hope that in the future, underground supermarkets in this type of stores will be operated by Carrefour supermarkets

Move in!" Lu Guangrong said.

Fang Mingyuan's eyes lit up slightly. Lu Guangrong's suggestion is naturally in line with the development direction of large department stores. In the future, at least in the past life, shopping malls in China will be in this form. Moreover, Lu Guangrong can think of letting Carrefour supermarkets enter these stores.

, which made him even more satisfied.

"The third one, I think, is a long-term goal for the company, and we don't need to consider it in the short term. That is to continue to merge and acquire other department store groups in Japan, and continue to expand the company's scale. That's the only way

, Only then can we better meet the competition in the Japanese department store industry in the future." Lu Guangrong said softly, "For the time being, I have thought of these three."

Fang Mingyuan gently clapped his hands a few times. In just half a month, Lu Guangrong was able to come up with these three suggestions, which made him very satisfied. I believe that as time goes by, he will give more

A bigger surprise for myself.

"The Japanese branch of Carrefour Supermarket will cooperate with your work! This is not a problem." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "These suggestions you made are good. I hope you will submit a detailed improvement plan to the board of directors as soon as possible. Also

Yes, I hope that in every store of the group company, a special area can be set up to sell products from China, including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan."

Lu Guangrong glanced at Fang Mingyuan in surprise, but he did not ask any more questions, but immediately wrote it down in his workbook. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
