Chapter 308: Disappearance or Kidnapping
After a week's stay in Finland, Fang's next stop was Sweden in Northern Europe. Over here
Fang plans to visit the Scania Group, one of Shijie's leading manufacturers of heavy-duty trucks and buses, as well as industrial engines.
Carrefour Group's urban layout in China can be said to have been basically completed, and then, with the continuous opening of economic development and the country, Carrefour Group will face the huge pressure brought by the United States Warmar Group and the European ELOUN Group, shijie, two major chain retail supermarket enterprises.
Although it is said that the initial landing of the American Warmar Group and the European ELOUN Group in China was secretly blocked by the Carrefour Group, the newly opened stores of the two groups still achieved considerable results in the Chinese market. Fang Mingyuan has already heard that the American Vorma Group and the European ELOUN Group are both interested in further expanding investment in China and further expanding the Chinese market this year.
Although Carrefour Group is now firmly in the leading position of Huaxia chain retail supermarket enterprises, and no one can regret its status, Fang Mingyuan understands that compared with the two giants of Shijie, whether it is in terms of management level or profit margin, Carrefour Group still has a big gap. If we are satisfied with the status quo and do not be prepared for danger in times of peace, with the familiarity and localization and scale of the two major groups in the Chinese market, I am afraid that there will be a battle for the ownership of this leading throne.
Fang Mingyuan never thought of giving up the Carrefour Group's position in the Chinese market. Therefore, how to further enhance the market competitiveness of Carrefour Group has become his top priority. As a supermarket chain enterprise, how to control the cost of goods under the premise of ensuring quality is the top priority of enterprise management. The cost of transportation is very important in controlling the cost of goods.
As a person who has come over, Fang Mingyuan of course knows that in the future of China, the development of logistics enterprises can be described as difficult, although there is a highway system that ranks in the forefront of Shijie, but the high tolls, taxes, fuel costs, and a variety of taxes and fees, so that logistics enterprises can almost be said to be unprofitable to transport goods! A box of goods, from the south to the capital required for the freight, is actually the same as sent to the United States to count the cost of customs duties, which shows the weight of taxes and fees!
Since the inception of Carrefour Group, Fang Mingyuan has attached great importance to commodity transportation.
To this end, Carrefour Group's investment in the company's fleet is quite amazing, and today, the group has a huge fleet of thousands of vehicles, as well as more than 20 large logistics distribution centers, and hundreds of large warehouses to ensure the demand for goods in various branches throughout the country.
This time, Fang Mingyuan came to Scania Group to see the heavy-duty transport trucks it produces. With the development of China's highway construction, these high-speed, heavy-tonnage transport trucks are bound to become the main models in road transportation. It's not that Fang Mingyuan doesn't want to use domestic goods, but in 96 years, although there are already Steyr series heavy-duty trucks in China, they can't produce this kind of high-capacity heavy-duty transport trucks at all.
With Orila's introduction in the center, Fang Mingyuan was easily warmly received by the senior management of Scania Group, of course, even if it was enthusiastic, it could not be compared with the domestic reception specifications.
Accompanied by the senior management of Scania Group, Fang Mingyuan and his party visited the headquarters and production workshop of Scania Group. For the Chinese market, Scania Group, of course, has been hot for a long time. It's just that there is no opportunity to enter the Chinese market. The Chinese people are also very unfamiliar with the products of Scania Group. Although the Scania Group is a global company with operations in Europe, Latin America, Asia, Africa and Australia.
With more than 30,000 employees worldwide, 95 percent of its products are sold abroad!
Now with the arrival of Fang Mingyuan, after learning that Fang Mingyuan's family is in control of the largest supermarket chain in China, the senior executives of the Scania Group, even if they don't look at the face of Orila, they must also look at the face of the banknotes and the Huaxia market! Therefore, the flow of jiāo between the two sides can be said to be very pleasant, especially when Fang Mingyuan and they expressed their intention to purchase.
At this time, a piece of news came from China, which made Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but be shocked, and urgently suspended his trip in Sweden, leaving Aso Xiangyue and them in Sweden to negotiate follow-up affairs with the Scania Group, and he only took Lin Rong and Chen Zhong with him, and flew back to Fengyuan urgently.
The news is simple, Fang Ya is missing in Fengyuan!
Fang Ya's disappearance was not noticed until the afternoon of the next day. After waiting anxiously for half an hour in the office, his secretary couldn't help but call his mobile phone, only to find that the phone was turned off. After waiting for another half an hour, due to a large number of documents that needed to be signed by Fang Ya, the secretary had to go straight to the hotel where Fang Ya was staying, knocking on the room for a long time, but no one opened the mén at all. PS
The secretary couldn't help but be a little anxious, and then looked for the staff in the hotel to open the room, only to find that there was no one in the room at all!
Fang Ya must have something going on, now it is in the preparation period before the opening of Tianding Electric, not only in Qinxi Province, but also in the main first-tier cities in the country, the person in charge of each store must report the progress of the work to Fang Ya, it can be said that there are many things that need to be dealt with every day, Fang Ya is no matter how urgent it is, and it is impossible to play any game of "catching mí hide" at this time!
The secretary immediately reported the matter to Old Man Fang, Old Man Fang was shocked, and immediately recruited Fang Sheng and Shi Wensheng in Qinxi Province, Shi Wensheng remembered the NV voice he heard when he was on the phone with Fang Ya last night, "Big brother, you save me!"
After listening to Shi Wensheng's words, Old Man Fang's brows twisted into a ball, in recent years, because the Fang family's industry has been smooth sailing most of the time, and Fang Mingyuan is in charge of the overall situation, so the old man and his wife are basically not very in charge, most of the time is spent planting huā and raising grass, and then accompanying Fang Mingyuan's younger brothers and sisters to play games, and live a leisurely life. Fang Ya disappeared suddenly, and Fang Mingyuan was far away in Europe, so Old Man Fang naturally had to come out to preside over the overall situation.
"Since that's the case, Wensheng, you go to the hotel, find the person in charge of the people, and make a detailed check on the staff on duty at the hotel last night, whether there is anything in the hotel and what they are supervising in the hotel, which is the kind that Mingyuan said can be seen through the camera......"
"Monitoring equipment!" Fang Sheng said in a deep voice.
"Yes, that's it, look at what happened to your second brother yesterday!" Old Man Fang nodded and said, "Fang Sheng, you go to Yang Junyi and Secretary General Ma Yongfu, let them have a word with the police, and immediately conduct an inventory in the whole city." Alas, the second child just doesn't listen to Mingyuan!
By the way, we must send someone to protect the second wife's and children!"
Old Man Fang couldn't help but remember that Fang Mingyuan had to equip Fang Ya with personal guards, but Fang Ya said that he wouldn't do anything, thinking that someone around him was too in the way, Fang Mingyuan couldn't convince him, so send someone to follow him from afar, after Fang Ya found out, he was very dissatisfied, so later, Fang Mingyuan could only reluctantly recruit those guards back. Over the years, it has been safe and sound, and everyone has slackened. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen!
Naturally, Mr. Fang has long heard that in Hong Kong, many people have set their sights on those rich people, either by fraud, or by blackmail, by kidnapping, and by stealing the wealth of others. Originally, I thought that in the mainland, this kind of thing was unlikely to happen, so after Fang Ya refused to escort him, Old Man Fang didn't care too much, but now it seems that Fang Mingyuan is more far-sighted! Counting these people in the Fang family today, there are people around their old husband and wife, there are people around Fang Sheng and his wife, and there are people around Fang Bin and his wife, and there is no one to protect the two NV families, but they are all civil servants of the state, as long as the general gangsters are not dizzy, they will not attack the state workers, that is to provoke the majesty of the government!
The only one who is convenient to start with is Fang Ya.
Fang Sheng and Shi Wensheng naturally took the order immediately, and at the same time, if such a big thing happened, it was naturally impossible to hide it from Fang Mingyuan and Fang Bin.
When Fang Mingyuan's special plane landed in Fengyuan, the person who came to pick him up was Fang Bin. In fact, it can't be said that he came to pick up the plane, but Fang Bin only flew from Hong Kong to Fengyuan Airport two hours earlier than him, and Suo Xìng was waiting for him at the airport.
"Uncle 1, how's the situation?" Fang Mingyuan asked as he walked outside the airport.
"There's no progress, I still haven't found your second uncle!" Fang Bin said with a deep face.
Shi Wensheng had already gone to the hotel to ask, and the only three monitoring devices in the hotel were covered that night, and the staff on duty at the hotel only provided a message that was not much news. That is, after Fang Ya returned to the hotel, there were only three groups of guests who went out from the hotel, including a single nvxìng, a couple from the south, and a group of four guests, one of whom was helped down by someone, saying that he was uncomfortable drinking too much and went to the hospital. Since similar things were not uncommon, the staff on duty at the hotel did not think about it at that time, so they did not pay much attention. Now it seems that Fang Ya should have been taken out at this time.
And Yang Junyi and Ma Yongfu were also shocked when they learned the news, someone actually kidnapped the people of the Fang family in the provincial capital, whether it was for money or what, this quality was quite bad!
Therefore, the two immediately found the leaders of the provincial department and the municipal bureau, and comprehensively arranged manpower to conduct a detailed investigation of the passage leading to the outside world in Fengyuan City, and at the same time conducted a secret investigation throughout the city to find Fang Ya's whereabouts.
But so far, there has been no news!。
