Chapter 1458: Anxious Atmosphere
The progress of 7-11 in Thailand has been smoother than Yin Jun imagined.
In just half a month, 7-11 has become a star store in the mouth of people in Bangkok, Thailand.
Don't look at the area of 7-11 is very small, about 50-100 square meters, but there are thousands of products in it, and new products will appear every day.
Basically, if you don't go to 7-Eleven for a week, you will find that there are hundreds of more products that you have never seen, bought or eaten.
Moreover, 7-Eleven is very convenient, open 24 hours a day, which greatly facilitates the life of Bangkok people.
Bangkok has a typical rainforest climate, where people don't get much sleep and have a great nightlife.
In the past, on the streets, there were no shops open after eleven or twelve o'clock, and it was not convenient to buy anything.
It's like it's different now, 7-Eleven is open 24 hours, and the main streets of Bangkok have their big neon signs, which can be seen from afar, so you can follow the directions.
Food, drink, tobacco, alcohol, daily necessities, etc., are all in stock, enough for a momentary need.
The popularity of the people of Bangkok has brought a super high turnover, which not only brings a steady stream of profits to the Kirin Group, but more importantly, it greatly boosts the morale of Jin Qiuwen and builds their confidence to continue to work hard to develop.
Jin Qiuwen: It's not easy.
Site selection, training, supplier negotiations, etc., which is not something they do personally?
Pangu Bank also played a role in stabilizing the morale of the military, and when it came to specific affairs, it had to be Jin Qiuwen and them.
For this matter, Jin Qiuwen also specially transferred hundreds of reserve store managers from Xiangjiang to be responsible for the affairs of the store.
The negotiation with suppliers is definitely not only about price, but also about the innovation of various products, and what is suitable for Thai people.
For example, Thai people are lazy and don't like to cook.
Especially for the wealthy Bangkok people, their usual dinner is solved outside, which has caused all kinds of food stalls and food stalls in Thailand to be all over the street.
If 7-Eleven wants to grab this part of the market, the best way is to make a bento.
The steaming bento that can be eaten in the microwave for half a minute, and the Korean cold noodle bento...... And so on, are very important commodities.
To this end, Jin Qiuwen and his team found a total of 78 bento factories, selected more than 300 bento boxes, and once every three months, each store used three freezers to place hundreds of bento boxes, which made people a little dazzled just by looking at it.
For example, in Thailand, it is summer all year round, and people naturally like to eat cold things when the weather is hot.
Jin Qiuwen selected 50 kinds of smoothie drinks alone, and finally selected 25 kinds of them, which were sold in 7-11 stores in a circular manner.
There is also ice cream, just mango ice cream, Jin Qiuwen commissioned the ice cream factory to make 43 kinds, and there were 19 kinds of successful orders, and the ice cream factory is now constantly developing, striving to get 7-11 orders.
7-Eleven of 100 stores is equivalent to 100 convenience stores, and if the sales are good, at least 500,000 ice creams can be sold in a month!
How terrifying is the sales volume!?
Not only ice cream, but also various drinks, bento, daily necessities, and the sales of single products every day are tens of thousands of copies.
So, how much is the sales volume in a month, and what should be the sales volume in a year?
This is only 100 stores, if we open 200 or 300 stores in Bangkok in the future, and 1,000, 2,000 or 3,000 stores in Thailand...... What a big deal that would be?
Therefore, seeing the terrifying strength of 7-11, there is no need for Pangu Bank to come forward again, countless dealers flocked to it, and even manufacturers directly contacted 7-11, wanting everyone to cooperate.
But Jin Qiuwen will certainly not forget the help of Bangkok Bank, as the general manager of the Kirin Group's Thai branch, he has always put all the funds in Bangkok Bank.
Perhaps Bangkok Bank didn't care about the flow of money from such a small company before.
But when they also found out that 7-11's terrifying sales ability and huge development possibilities are likely to have 2,000-3,000 stores in Thailand, they immediately gasped.
If there are so many stores covering the whole of Thailand, it is not an exaggeration to say that 7-Eleven is the largest retail convenience store group in Thailand.
Unexpectedly, it is unexpected, to support such a huge giant company and add a strong partner to its own bank, which is really unexpected!
What it's like for a bank to have a strong partner is something that only people inside the bank know.
The people below unconsciously admired Chen Bicheng more and more.
It seems that the chairman's way of dealing with the world is absolutely the first in the world!
Lo and behold, this is the result of good intentions!
It is no wonder that although the chairman's wealth is not the most, his prestige among the Chinese is the highest, and he is also the most popular, 90% of the Chinese billionaires, when it comes to the chairman, they definitely give a thumbs up.
Jin Qiuwen can't forget Chen Bicheng's help, and Yin Jun naturally won't forget Chen Youhan.
With the full support of Yin Jun, Heung Kong Commercial Bank has now completely stabilized its position, and has taken advantage of the current chaotic situation to steadily develop its business, so that more people can choose its own services.
Today, the financial industry in Hong Kong is still bleak.
The huge turmoil from last year to this year has affected too many financial companies and banks.
In particular, housing prices and land prices are getting lower day by day, and the real estate industry in Xiangjiang, which has accumulated hundreds of billions of funds, is, of course, suffering heavy losses.
These banks and finance companies are the ones who finance real estate developers.
In the past, when the market was good, if the real estate developers had difficulties, went bankrupt or something, the bank could directly take over the real estate and land and sell it, which could not only make up for the loss, but also make more or less money.
As a result, the market is so bad now, even if the real estate developers go bankrupt, and the bank holds the land and real estate in their hands, it is a bad debt, the price is getting lower and lower day by day, and the loss is heavy!
Therefore, banks and financial companies not only do not want to repossess land and real estate, but instead demand that the central real estate companies not go bankrupt and that they should continue to support them.
As long as they don't go out of business, these real estate developers will always have a hard day.
If it goes bankrupt directly, you make banks and financial institutions even more hot potato, and you don't know what to do.
Now it's a bit of a hassle again.
If you want a real estate company not to go bankrupt, there are two conditions.
The first is not to be forced into debt.
The second is to maintain normal operations.
Since you don't want real estate companies to go bankrupt, it is no problem to be more lenient in the accounts, extend the repayment time a little, and reduce the repayment amount in each installment.
Maintaining normal operations, including start-ups, salaries, advertising, etc., also requires money.
The truth is, real estate companies don't have much money left.
So what to do?
Banks and financial companies can only continue to lend to them!
Not only are they not able to recover the huge loans, but they have to continue to lend to these people, and you can imagine how disgusting the banks and financial companies are.
Most of the banks and financial companies have been dragged into the quagmire by these real estate companies and cannot move.
They are even more hopeful than real estate developers that spring will come sooner.
Xiangjiang Commercial Bank has Yin Jun's reminder that although there are many such bad debts, the deposits of 500 million US dollars and 2 billion Hong Kong dollars injected by Yin Jun have greatly stabilized the morale of the army, and also made many people have confidence and dare to deposit money in Xiangjiang Commercial Bank.
In fact, what makes Chen Youhan happiest is not that they retail investors have deposited their deposits, but that the panicked depositors before have not frantically withdrawn their deposits.
As long as the deposits of the Heung Kong Commercial Bank are still there, then they will have the funds to continue doing business.
Not to mention that Yin Jun's 5.5 billion is placed there, which can be used by them at any time.
However, after the previous painful run, the policy of Xiangjiang Commercial Bank still tends to be conservative, and they dare not touch Yin Jun's part of the money, and they are also cautious in doing business, for fear that there will be problems again.
Yin Jun didn't persuade them to be aggressive, and he didn't understand the bank's affairs, so he naturally wouldn't intervene.
Today, Yin Jun came to visit Heung Kong Commercial Bank, but it was for another matter.
The current situation in Hong Kong is very difficult, but that doesn't mean that everyone is not working hard.
Including the mainland, they all want to actively solve the problem and let Xiangjiang get out of this predicament as soon as possible.
However, they had different goals and ideas from the British, so there was no progress in two successive negotiations.
After the third negotiation in May this year, the two sides still made no progress at all, and the handling of the future of Hong Kong is still deadlocked.
The fourth round of negotiations is scheduled to take place in September this year.
In September last year, the Iron Lady fell to the first crisis that broke out, and it has been a year since I knew it.
After the first three unsuccessful negotiations, the anxiety of the people of Xiangjiang has actually accumulated to a certain extent.
Newspapers, magazines, and television stations are analyzing that if there is no progress in the fourth negotiation, then this year-long anxiety is likely to explode and lead to serious consequences.
Although everyone was disappointed and vented before, this kind of time of year is the most likely to cause accidents.
So people are waiting to see if a miracle happens.
Everyone uses the word "miracle happens" to describe it, which shows that in their hearts, they are not sure, or even hopeful.
That's right.
They really don't have to get their hopes up.
Because in this world, only Yin Jun knows that this fourth negotiation is destined to be unsuccessful.
The failure of the fourth negotiation will also trigger a very serious consequence, a huge fluctuation in the short term.
This is the main reason why Yin Jun came to Heung Kong Commercial Bank today!
