Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 106 Milton’s Surprise

While Fang Mingyuan and Sun Zhaolun were discussing how to "slowly" negotiate with the Carefour Group, Frank and his party were shuttled through Carrefour supermarkets and some large shopping malls in various districts of Fengyuan City.

Although it is not a weekend or a rest time in the evening, there is still a considerable flow of people in every Carrefour supermarket. Frank, a tall and fair-skinned man, walks among them, looking quite eye-catching. But since

Since the reform and opening up, there have been more and more foreigners in China. After seeing too many foreigners with white skin, high noses, blue eyes and blond hair, they will naturally not appear again, like when the country just opened, everyone gathered around to watch foreigners.

The scene. Therefore, it did not cause any hindrance to Frank and his team's inspection.

"This Sun Zhaolun is not simple!" Frank said to Thierry in a low voice after looking at the prices of some products in the supermarket and paying attention to the staff in the supermarket for a long time.

Before coming to Fengyuan, Frank had a certain understanding of the retail industry in Fengyuan City and the price situation in Fengyuan City. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. This truth is not only understood by Chinese people. In the business field

, the importance of intelligence is self-evident. However, after all, intelligence is only something observed by others, and some things can only be accurately judged by seeing it with your own eyes.

"Well, these supermarkets are managed quite well. All the staff, whether in terms of mental outlook or work enthusiasm, are quite obviously different from the sales staff in other shopping malls in this city.

"The people here are very motivated." Thierry said softly. The staff in the Carrefour supermarket rarely see idlers, they are always busy. And the answers to customers' inquiries are positive and detailed. And those

Although the sales staff in the mall were quite enthusiastic towards the three of them, they were a bit indifferent to ordinary customers.

In fact, how do they know that the reason why these staff in Carrefour supermarkets are so enthusiastic and proactive is, on the one hand, due to the management system of Carrefour supermarkets, and on the other hand, it is also because most of them are the family members of police officers who died in the line of duty and those who

They are military dependents of soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country or were disabled, and their previous jobs were generally not good. Either they could not get paid, or their wages were in arrears, and their family situation was very difficult. But after coming to Carrefour Supermarket, not only did their monthly salary be sufficient

Payments are made on a regular basis, and are much higher than before. The welfare benefits in the supermarket are quite complete. Compared with before, it is simply heaven and earth.

And although today's Carrefour supermarket cannot attract the attention of many college students, it has become a company that many young people who have graduated from high school and vocational high school aspire to. It is just that Carrefour supermarket gives priority to taking care of their surviving relatives. So they all

I have a sense of crisis, fearing that one day I will be fired because I don’t work hard.

Another very important point is that their work enthusiasm and attitude are also related to their income. Carrefour Supermarket has formulated a detailed system of rewarding hard work and punishing laziness. Every month, the person with the highest work attitude score can win

A high bonus equivalent to one month's income was received. As long as the clerks could meet the management rating standards, they could receive a minimum bonus of fifty yuan. This was a considerable amount of money in Fengyuan City in the 1990s.

The amount is high. So in order to get more income, these clerks will not relax at all.

"The goods here are quite complete, and the distribution of the goods area is also very reasonable. The various signs are eye-catching and accurate, and more importantly, the prices of the goods here are generally 15% lower than those in shopping malls.

Up to 20%, and you see, they also have a large number of promotional items here!" Frank pointed to the promotional price tags clearly marked on yellow paper not far away, "Looking at all this, if it weren't for the

Yellow people, I really thought they were back in small and medium-sized supermarkets in Europe."

"That Sun Zhaolun has worked in the business system of Hong Kong for a long time, and he is no stranger to the retail method of supermarkets. However, he was able to transplant all this to the mainland of China and do it so perfectly. He is indeed a great person.

Talent!" Thierry said seriously, "Frank, I think we need to re-examine the value of this company. A fifteen percent premium is impossible to impress them. Unless they have other motives."

Frank nodded slightly, and he somewhat understood why Sun Zhaolun could so bluntly reject his acquisition request without discussing it with shareholders. Carrefour Supermarket has grown from a supermarket in just two to three years since its establishment.

County-level private enterprises have developed into major cities in Qinxi Province. They have branches in almost every district in Fengyuan City. It can be seen that the company is very popular within the company. Such a company is in a period of rapid development and rising performance.

The company's future prospects are quite bright, and I wouldn't be willing to give it up for a mere 15% premium.

But he was not worried about anything. The highest authority Nicholas gave him was to acquire Carrefour supermarket at a 100% premium, which still had a lot of room for negotiation. These Chinese people looked down on the 15% premium, but once it changed hands, they

The temptation to obtain 100% profit is not something that everyone can ignore. Frank firmly believes that he can successfully complete the task assigned to him by President Nicholas.

It is a pity that this Carrefour supermarket is not listed. Otherwise, the means of acquiring it can be more diversified, instead of just negotiating with the Fang family and the Hong Kong company like now. Although Carrefour supermarket is a joint venture, the Hong Kong company

The capital accounts for a considerable part, but the controlling rights are still in the hands of the Fang family. If Carefour Group wants to put the entire supermarket and trademarks under its control, it must buy enough shares from the Fang family, otherwise

In other words, even if they take all the shares of the Hong Kong company, it will not affect the Fang family's controlling interest at all. This is the main reason why they did not first find the Hong Kong company to buy their shares.

Frank didn't know that 100% of the shares of the Hong Kong company they knew were actually controlled by Fang Mingyuan. In fact, no outsiders could get involved in Carrefour Supermarket except the Fang family.

"Frank, let's play a game!" Thierry patted Frank on the shoulder and chuckled.
