Chapter 111: The Lost Vikings

The data given by PricewaterhouseCoopers Consulting is very detailed, and this company is also responsible for the accounting issues for the SOS Group, so when giving the information, even the core information of 7-Eleven is also indicated.

When Mr. Han learned that the gross profit of 7-Eleven convenience stores in Asia was as high as 35% to 50%, he was almost speechless.

Their products are about 10% more expensive than the supermarket price, the gross profit is much higher than the 20% to 30% of SOS, and the daily operating costs are relatively low.

In Japan, the main consumer groups of 7-Eleven are mainly mid-to-high-end people, and the daily business capacity depends on the location of the store and customer flow, etc., and the labor cost in the United States is much higher than that in Japan, especially the overtime cost at night.

However, the price of items is higher than that of Japan, and the detailed data has not been counted, and Han Xuan doesn't know it yet, but just by looking at the green eyes of Grandpa and Joseph, you can understand that there must be some money in this industry.

"You go and let someone do a plan, remember to keep this matter a secret, the sooner the better. ”

Mr. Han had a smile on his face, the whole thing SOS company did not make any money, and it could also collect a lot of deposits from franchisees, and the merchants could not owe SOS money, but SOS had been settling the payment with the supplier on a quarterly basis.

In the intervening years, not only can you eliminate the disadvantages of declining turnover, but you can also hold a considerable amount of liquidity, and as you expand, you can also increase the influence of the company, and intangible assets are sometimes more important than money.

Seeing that his grandfather had a lot of documents to read, Han Xuan was bored and said loudly: "I want to go out for a walk, what about Little John?"

"I'll tell him to come here, don't go far, and take you to something delicious at noon. Old Man Han shook his neck, pressed and held the phone speed button on the table, and called the secretariat.

didn't take the elevator, Han Xuan and Little John walked down layer by layer.

The dozen or so floors in front of me are the file room and the staff office, and the desks separated by four spaces in the shape of a cross are densely distributed inside, thinking that it is no wonder that grandpa wants to build a new building, which is indeed about to accommodate more people.

Occasionally, he could see the computer, the long box dragged behind the desktop, the screen flickered and flickered, and just staring at it for a while, the boy felt that he was almost blind, and compared to the used Apple iMac and macbook Retina displays, he had no interest in the old antiques in front of him.

These lumps of iron are still a rarity, and notebooks are only available to executives, who are at the executive level, and are used for typing, sending and receiving emails, and so on.

Now Microsoft's MSN chat software has not yet come out, chatting with each other is basically carried out by e-mail, and you can also play stand-alone games in your spare time, such as the young man in front of Han Xuan, it is estimated that the position is idle, and he is playing games on the computer early in the morning.

Seeing a little boy staring at him from behind, the young man was full of indifference, his boss went to a meeting, and he couldn't get off for an hour.

Being lazy during work hours, this kind of thing happens in every business, Han Xuan stared at the computer screen with interest, and there was a yellow-bearded old man jumping around on it, which looked like a level-based mini-game similar to "Super Mario".

"What is this?" Han Xuan asked in a low voice.

The young man didn't look back: "The Lost Vikings, help me look to the side, someone came and told me." ”

"Yes. ”

The boy nodded, the time of each level was very short, four or five minutes to pass, it could be seen that the young man was a veteran, and he did not die until he played more than twenty levels, he sighed and pushed out the disc and put it in the box on the table.

Han Xuan picked up the box and looked at it, it read, "Welcome to the world of Vikings! The evil god Loki has invaded your hometown, you have to fight back! Kill its evil trolls and terrifying giants, and constantly improve your strength." Finally, use your impeccable combat skills and magic skills to defeat the evil Loki!"

At the bottom is a small line of letters: Silicon & Synapse.

……

“Silicon&Synapse、Silicon&Synapse。 Touching the wooden handrail of the staircase, Han Xuan's mouth kept chattering.

Suddenly remembered something, stopped, little John followed him, almost bumped into it, and was about to ask, only to see the boy reflexively run back.

Coming to the young man just now, Han Xuan said quickly: "The game is from Silicon and Neural Bonds?"

"Shhh

"Hey, don't pull it, okay, let me tell you, the bosses of Silicon & Synapse are my alumni at the University of California, and now in California, I don't know them, but I heard about this company at the school party, and I happened to see the game disc, and I bought it and tried it, and it was good. ”

A middle-aged woman heard the movement and walked over and said angrily, "What's the matter?" Mr. Gavin, what are you doing again, where is the child?"

"Manager Brianna, it's really none of my business this time. Gavin cried: "I don't know where he came from. ”

Han Xuan rolled his eyes, when he let himself be sentry just now, it was not in this tone, seeing the female manager's gaze, he pointed to the corridor and waved away.

Brianna followed his point and saw that it was Assistant John's over there, and immediately said, "Gavin! It must be your fault, what about the report you made yesterday?

“……”

Han Xuan felt that he must have been dizzy from playing Warcraft, so he never remembered this company, and now it is called Silicon and Neural Bond, but when it finishes changing its name, it will become Blizzard Entertainment.

If memory serves, this year it will release the PC online game Warcraft: Humans and Orcs, and in the future, it will release the StarCraft series and the Diablo series of games, and after some combination and annexation, Activision Blizzard will reach a market value of $13 billion in the future.

Han Xuan took out the small notebook he wrote last night from his pocket, and the name of Blizzard Entertainment was omitted from it, and he silently took the notebook and secretly told himself that he was still a genius.

According to the young man just now, Blizzard should be in California, and it needs to take the time to go there.

A few floors down are operators, busy registering and arranging the transfer of goods from branches across the country, little John is used to sitting in the office, and even going downstairs is a little breathless, Han Xuan reluctantly walked to the elevator door dedicated to the CEO and pressed the button to the first floor.

When you come to the SOS convenience store, the shelves are all painted black, there are no windows around, only the lights shine, there is a long queue in front of the listening desk, and some goods will be discounted in the morning, so this is the time when the traffic is the highest.

The white frosted floor is very clean, the air vents are constantly blowing cold air, and with the faint fragrance, it is easy to relax, and when you are in a good mood, you will naturally buy more things.

Han Xuan couldn't help but sigh that his grandfather was really a good calculus.
