Chapter 276 Chain Store Business
This public opinion did not affect Wang Ye anything, he is a well-established and native entrepreneur.
The online listing of Meigou is equivalent to using foreigners' money to develop domestic enterprises, who can say that he is not a word.
Of course, it is not well known that his offshore company intercepted a large amount of profits.
He also has large investments abroad, such as the Floating Dream in cooperation with the Danish Royal Fund, such as the huge investment in Goddess Island.
Wang Ye recognized what Li Chaoren said, now is the era of "global village", if you want to be a great businessman, investment must be global, not limited to one family and one country.
Investment globalization does not mean that there is no nationality, and you still have to know which side of your ass should sit, and in this regard, Wang Ye can still distinguish clearly.
Wang Ye is now thinking about Watson's personal care chain stores, and who will manage these stores.
After the successful acquisition, the senior management of A.S. Watson Group has made it clear that they will continue to stay in A.S. Watson Group and will not choose to switch to Meigou.com.
So now someone has to be able to take over this business, more than 1,700 stores, this is not a joke.
If the handover and resettlement work is not done properly, the store operation will be chaotic and greatly affected.
However, among the current executives of Meigou.com, there is indeed no one who is proficient in physical store operations, and there are suitable candidates on the side of Huashang International, such as Li Qinghuan, Cai Ziang,
However, the two of them can't be transferred, both of them are now in heavy responsibilities, so wouldn't it affect the operation of Huashang International.
After thinking about it again, Wang Ye called Liu Wenjuan, he knew that Liu Wenjuan had a lot of dealings with Watsons and was familiar with the managers there, so he wanted her to recommend a suitable candidate.
……
When Liu Wenjuan saw the notice issued by Hutchison Industrial, she was stunned all of a sudden, what was the situation?
But this is great news for her.
At least you don't have to worry about how to deal with Huo, and Meigou and Fuhua Cosmetics have always cooperated well, and they are still the same major shareholder. Then you don't have to worry about this channel in the future, the location of the store is not just your choice!
When she received Wang Ye's call, Liu Wenjuan was still imagining a better life in the future.
"Wang Dong, what are you looking for me?"
"Oh, didn't Meigou acquire Watsons' personal care chain business, and now the company has no suitable person to be in charge of this part, so I want to ask you if there is a suitable person to recommend. Wang Ye said his meaning simply and clearly.
Liu Wenjuan's mind moved, this is a good opportunity, can she ......
But when the words came to her lips, Liu Wenjuan hesitated again, she is now the president of the Asia-Pacific region of Fuhua Cosmetics Company, which has no direct relationship with Meigou.com, although it is the same major shareholder.
If you jump to Meigou.com, who will care about the story of flowers, Wang Ye, who is the owner of Fuhua Cosmetics Company, obviously doesn't want to see this scene.
So Liu Wenjuan thought about it for a while, but gave up this idea, she said: "There is really a suitable candidate, Luo Jun, general manager of Watsons Mainland Region, has Wang Dong heard of this person?"
Wang Ye really hadn't heard of it, so he asked, "How is this person, is his ability outstanding?"
Liu Wenjuan introduced this person to Wang Ye, maybe people outside the circle don't know much about this person, but he is still quite famous in the circle.
As early as 2003, Luo Jun joined Watsons and has been active in the Watsons Xiangjiang market for the next 4 years.
It was not until 2007 that the focus of Watsons Group's development strategy shifted to the mainland, and Luo Jun took the initiative to ask Ying to work in the mainland market.
In the following years, Watsons expanded rapidly in the mainland market: from opening 100 stores in the previous 16 years, to nearly 800 stores in the five years from 2007 to the present, the expansion rate has reached 8 times the previous one.
In addition to expanding at a speed that can be called "crazy", Luo Jun also helped Watsons obtain the agency rights of many makeup and fragrance brands in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea during his tenure, and increased the proportion of men's care and cosmeceutical categories.
Until this time, because of the Internet turmoil caused by Liu Wenjuan, she became the scapegoat of Watsons Group and was forced to resign.
Liu Wenjuan recommended him this time, on the one hand, to recognize this person's ability, and on the other hand, it was also out of guilt.
After Wang Ye heard this, he thought it was a good candidate. What he needs now is this kind of senior management talent who is very familiar with Watson's store management.
What's more, the focus of Watson's future development is the mainland, since Luo Jun has served as the general manager of the mainland for several years and has made good achievements, he is obviously capable of this position.
……
Watsons Group's sale of its business to Meigou and Temasek this time made such a big move, and Luo Jun, who is in Pengcheng, of course knew about it.
He was stunned that the group company had sold the three core businesses of Watsons, which he could not have imagined.
It's a pity, Luo Jun originally planned that in just one mainland market, at least 3,000 chain stores could be opened.
But now that he has only opened less than 800 stores, he was forced to resign, thinking of this, Luo Jun was a little gloomy.
After he left, several companies in China contacted him, but Luo Jun refused, because he still wanted to be a cosmetics chain store.
He knows too much about this industry, and he has a lot of good ideas that he has not had the opportunity to practice.
If you really can't find a suitable company in the end, it is better to start your own business.
However, entrepreneurship is the last way, and Luo Jun knows how much it costs to open a direct chain store. The little net worth he has accumulated over the years can't open a few stores at all, and the newly opened chain stores have neither volume nor fame, and it is estimated that they will not be able to get the sales agency rights of any big-name cosmetics.
This is the most deadly, without a good brand, you can't attract consumers into the store, and if you don't have consumers into the store, then there will be no sales!
So these days, it's really hard to succeed from scratch.
Only inexperienced people feel that starting a business is simple, and people like Luo Jun, who have been in an industry for more than ten years, know how difficult it is to leave the platform of a large company and do things completely on their own.
Just when he was still thinking about his way out, he received a notice from Meigo.com, which was personally called by Xu Jing, CEO of Meigo.com.
"May I ask if it's Mr. Luo Jun, I'm Xu Jing of Meigo.com. A gentle female voice came over the phone.
As soon as Luo Jun heard this, his heart beat "thump".
Of course, it's not because of how good Xu Jing's voice is, but because of the "Meigo.com" in front of her name!
Luo Jun naturally knows what this means!
Meigou has just acquired the Watsons personal care chain business, and now call yourself, isn't it obvious, I want to let myself go out of the mountain to be responsible for this part of the business!
"Hello Mr. Xu, I'm Luo Jun. Luo Jun took a deep breath and replied calmly.
"I heard that Mr. Luo also lives in Pengcheng, and the headquarters of our Meigou network is in Mingguang District, if it is convenient, can Mr. Luo take some time to come to our headquarters to talk about the Watsons chain store. Xu Jing said in a harmonious voice.
"Of course, Mr. Xu has arranged the time, I am very idle now, I can do it at any time, haha......" Luo Junlang said with a smile.
"Hehe, it is estimated that Mr. Luo will not be idle for too long. In this way, tomorrow at half past two in the afternoon, on the top floor of the No. 1 office building of Mingguang Science and Technology Park, we will see you in Wang Dong's office. Xu Jing said meaningfully.
After hanging up the phone, Luo Jun's heart was still beating violently, and he wondered what Xu Jing meant by the phrase "I can't be idle for too long".
It seems that it is really as I think, Meigou really wants to enable itself!
How rare this opportunity is, Luo Jun, who has been in the workplace for more than ten years, certainly understands. It's a great time to take a step up to the top!
It is a qualitative leap from the original regional boss who was only responsible for the mainland region to the boss of the business department who is responsible for the overall business.
If he hadn't had that incident, and Meigou hadn't acquired Watsons' chain stores, it was estimated that he might not be able to be promoted to this position in another ten years if he relied on his own qualifications.
And now, the chain store business has been acquired by Meigo.com, what is the origin of Meigo.com, which is an Internet giant listed on NASDAQ and raised more than $20 billion in one fell swoop.
In terms of strength, Meigou is now stronger than Hutchison Industrial, only stronger, not weaker!
The chain store business, backed by the strong parent company of Meigou.com, will the future development be poor?
What's more, as the CEO of the chain store division, the right to speak is much greater than before, and many of his plans and ideas can be realized one by one.
……
The two parties agreed to meet in the afternoon of the next day, but Luo Jun was not idle for almost a day before the meeting.
He first made an in-depth understanding of Meigo.com, and carefully read all the information about Meigo.com on the Internet.
After reading it, Luo Jun has enough understanding of the two key figures of Meigo.com, Wang Ye and Xu Jing.
These two people are going to interview themselves tomorrow and decide the key people of their own fate, so how can they not understand them first.
In the past, he has been immersed in his own business, although Meigou is also a cosmetics company, and Luo Jun has also understood it, but one is an entity and the other is the Internet, after all, there is still no business intersection.
Therefore, for Wang Ye, the soul of Meigou.com, Luo Jun can only say that he knows a little before, but he doesn't know too much. Now that he has made up some information, Luo Jun finally has a more comprehensive understanding of Wang Ye.
"This is the big man!" Luo Jun sighed.
Wang Ye's rocket-like rise speed, he can't envy it, he can only be regarded as a relatively good ordinary person, how can he compare with that kind of "monster".
