Central, Hong Kong Island.

Huo Dong looked at the content of the Sing Tao Daily in his hand and sighed with emotion, the richest man in the hot summer has invested more than 500 million US dollars in the Dongying area, if this money is invested in Hong Kong Island......

Forget it, it's good to be in Dongying, come back in two years, Huo Dong thought helplessly.

If it weren't for Huo Dong's foundation basically on Hong Kong Island, it is estimated that he would have run away, although Hong Kong Island has basically stabilized and the economy is constantly recovering, but the environment is really not good.

Jade Emperor Bank has three branches on Hong Kong Island and is still an in-house bank that is closed to the public. However, it is normal for the Jade Emperor Bank not to absorb deposits in the Hong Kong Island area, and the Hong Kong dollar can basically only be used in Hong Kong Island and Macau.

At present, the international currency is not used in the US dollar, the British pound and then the Japanese yen and the franc, and the local foreign exchange on Hong Kong Island is basically transported to the United Kingdom by HSBC, and foreign exchange on Hong Kong Island is scarce.

Huo Dong estimated in his heart that Zhang Sheng's foreign exchange reserves were richer than HSBC's, not to mention how much the $1.5 billion was spent, just because he had a lot of overseas business, and he earned dollars, pounds, and at worst, yen, and a lot of dollars, pounds, and yen in his hand.

Central, Wheelock House, Global Shipping Group.

"Boss, the large cargo ship we purchased from Dongying has arrived in Harbour City."

The purchasing manager of the Global Shipping Group said to the charter king.

"Yes, two of them will help the Jade Emperor Group transport goods around the world, and the rest will be carried out according to the original plan.

Now the Jade Emperor Group has opened a new Carrefour supermarket in Dongying, and the demand for materials is also increasing. ”

The charter king said.

"Zhang Sheng's business is getting bigger and bigger, and he can't supply the white feather chickens used in CFC restaurants, and he still needs to buy them from Thailand's CP Group."

The purchasing manager said with great emotion.

Cheung Sheng's chicken farm in Tin Shui Wai is saturated, and now he needs almost one million white-feathered chickens a day in Dongying alone.

It is estimated that Zhang Sheng is going to set up a farm on the land he bought in Tin Shui Wai before. ”

The charter king said.

"CP Group is also crazy about building chicken farms in Thailand, CFC is still a big market in Europe, and there are more than 700 CFC restaurants in the UK alone, and I estimate that it will soon expand to Europe."

"Zhang Sheng's restaurant is really crazy to expand, and the ugly country's wheat selling knife labor is now speeding up the process in Canada, and it is estimated that it will soon enter Europe."

"Indeed, but when the time comes, there will be some difficulties to overcome when selling knife labor into Europe, Zhang Sheng has set up a large number of decoration teams in order to expand, and both the decoration speed and the low cost of decoration are not comparable to selling knife labor."

The purchasing manager said to the charter king with a smile.

"Haha, too, the efficiency of the decoration companies in the ugly country and Europe is outrageous, and the labor cost is extremely high, I am afraid that dozens of restaurants will not be able to open at the same time when selling knife labor, and compared with the speed of opening a store with CFC, two selling knife labor is not enough for CFC to play."

……

Soon it has been three days since the opening of the Carrefour supermarket, and the average daily traffic of each store in these three days is about 80,000.

In three days, 700,000 small receipts were issued, and the turnover reached 47 million US dollars.

Although the turnover in three days was as high as 47 million US dollars, the profit was only 16 million US dollars, and most of the people purchased daily necessities, and the profit was not high.

Thailand's fragrant rice sells hundreds of thousands of tons, but the profit of rice is only 30%, and the profit can reach 100% of cosmetics and other daily chemical products sold is not too much, no way, these things are used up and then bought, and it is not a shopping festival, so it will not be hoarded too much.

According to the survey of the marketing department, the gross profit of supermarkets in living areas is about 50%, and the gross profit of supermarkets in commercial areas is about 120%.

There are more imported high-end goods in the business district, white-collar workers have spending power, and although the necessities in the living area are also imported, the profits are still too low. If you do the math, half of the supermarket is imported from Southeast Asia, and Japan has a lot of people after all.

During this time, there was also news that made Zhang Zhonghua even happier, that is, Fuji Steel was finally taken.

After the group's affairs are completed, Zhang Zhonghua plans to use a period of time to develop the UNIX operating system, which is easier and faster with the IX operating system.

Just like Microsoft's Bill Gates spent $50,000 to buy the QDOS system, which only had 4,000 lines of assembly, and then modified it into the MS-doc system, which shows how rudimentary the early operating system was.

For the development of the UNIX system, Zhang Zhonghua is trivial, and full-level programming is not a joke.

The UNIX system is a time-sharing system that occupies an important place in the history of the development of computer operating systems.

It has made it so successful by continuously inheriting and transforming existing technologies in a fine, careful and selective manner, and has developed in terms of the overall design and conception of the operating system.

The UNIX system can be said to be in full swing throughout the seventies and eighties, and it can basically be regarded as a unified server system, but unfortunately it was finally replaced by the Linux system.

In the early days of UNIX's development, the copyright of UNIX at that time was owned by the Chouguo Telephone and Telegraph Company. In order to promote the development of UNIX, the Ugly Telephone and Telegraph Company licensed UNIX source code to academic institutions for research or teaching purposes under a low-cost or even free license.

As a result, a large number of institutions expanded and improved on the basis of this source code, forming so-called UNIX derivatives, which in turn contributed to the development of UNIX.

Later, the Chouguo Telephone and Telegraph Company realized the huge commercial value of the UNIX system, so it no longer licensed the UNIX source code to academic institutions, and claimed copyright rights to the previous UNIX and its variants.

This had such a great impact on the subsequent development of the UNIX system that the entire development of UNIX was accompanied by a large number of property rights disputes.

These problems of the UNIX system are not a problem for Zhang Zhonghua at all, the source code of the UNIX system is completely open source and does not charge a penny, and my brother helps maintain and develop the UNIX system, but the C language has to charge royalties.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhonghua's hands flew quickly on the keyboard, and the office soon sounded a clicking sound.

Of course, the biggest purpose of developing the UNIX system is to serve the Jade Emperor Bank, and secondly, he is the father of the C language, so it will be easier to recruit computer elites in the future.

When Zhang Zhonghua developed the YH database, many places used C language programming, and the use of this part of C language will be discovered sooner or later.

……

When Zhang Zhonghua was struggling in the office, Carrefour Supermarket was finally on the right track, and Zhang Zhonghua handed over the relevant matters of Carrefour Supermarket to the company's senior management headed by He Rongfei, and then walked out of the office and came to Nippon Steel Company.

It took a lot of time for the Jade Emperor Group to finally acquire the two companies of Yawata Steel and Fuji Steel, and the newly merged Nippon Steel had a market value of $1.1 billion.

Zhang Zhonghua invested 700 million US dollars to account for 65% of the shares, Inayama Yoshihiro cashed out part of the shares to get cash, and at the same time held 22% of the shares of Nippon Steel, Hino Ichiro cashed out part of the cash like Inayama Yoshihiro, and held 13% of the shares of Nippon Steel, Zhang Zhonghua became the absolute largest shareholder.

After the merger, Nippon Steel became the No. 1 steel company in Toei, and had branches in Toei's major industrial centers such as Fukuoka, Nagoya, and Kimitsu, so that it could start its international expansion by stabilizing Toei's internal affairs.

Although Nippon Steel is already the No. 1 steel giant in the entire East, it will be even more powerful in the future, and Nippon Steel will publish a large number of products in the future, and it is also the most powerful giant in the world in scientific research.

In addition, Nippon Steel will have an engineering division dedicated to providing technical information to foreign steel companies and helping to design, build, and renovate steel companies.

Nippon Steel products are not only supplied domestically and domestically, but also exported to more than 100 countries around the world. It has established dozens of subsidiaries overseas and participated in the construction of the domestic Baosteel General Plant, which is well-known all over the world.

In terms of the company's steel production business, Xindongying Steel has developed advanced processing procedures that can greatly improve productivity and throughput and reduce energy consumption.

Nippon Steel has adopted advanced technical know-how, and Shintoei Steel is still developing a range of state-of-the-art products.

In addition to steel manufacturing, the company is also developing other business areas, including engineering, urban planning, ferrous non-ferrous metals, chemical industry, electronics, and information systems.

Zhang Zhonghua was full of emotion in his heart, the future world's No. 1 steel giant finally fell into his hands, but I don't know if it will become the world's No. 1 like in his previous life.

When Zhang Zhonghua was in college in his previous life, he was very interested in these world giants, and if he could develop one or two world giants, it would be very rewarding.

In 1966, Dongying's GDP surpassed that of the United Kingdom to become the world's third, and in 1968, Dongying's GDP surpassed West Germany to become the world's second.

Zhang Zhonghua was able to win the two companies before the shareholders of the two companies merged on their own, which was also a fluke, and he felt that he was the son of fate.

During this time, through exchanges with Inayama Kakuan and Hino Ichiro, Zhang Zhonghua also learned why Dongying's consortium did not acquire two steel mills, and several Dongying consortiums have their own steel companies and are specialized in the production of automotive steel, so there is no need to come to the after-sales two companies again.

JFE Corporation, the second largest steel company in the future, is one of the few companies in the world that produces car exterior panels, and it is also the world's largest automotive steel company.

Moreover, once there is a consortium of after-sales these two enterprises, it will inevitably cause the iron and steel enterprises under other consortiums to unite, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"President, when will our company announce the establishment of Shintoei Steel Co., Ltd."

Kahiro Inayama asked.

The quiet merger of the two companies will definitely shock the whole Dongying, and the bigger the momentum, the more attractive and stronger it will be to talents.

"Let's announce the news after the restructuring of the two companies is completed, anyway, now that all the creditor relationships have been handled, the other consortia should also get some news."

Zhang Zhonghua said that if he didn't know any news about the merger of the two companies into the Dongying Consortium, he wouldn't believe it.

In his opinion, the idea of the Dongying consortium is that if it merges, it will merge, as long as it is not acquired by an opponent.

At the same time, the Toei consortium did not intervene to block the merger, most likely because it was afraid of forcing Yawata and Fuji Steel to their opponents.

There are still a lot of things to deal with in the merger of the two companies, the personnel structure, the direction of research and development, etc. are very troublesome, the group sends financial personnel to keep an eye on it, and the merger and development of the two companies is still handed over to Inayama Yoshihiro and Hino Ichiro to deal with, and in the previous life, Nippon Steel can develop into the world's first, and it is estimated that this life is not bad.

"President, where is our Nippon Steel headquarters?"

Ichiro Hino asked.

"The company's headquarters is in Dongjin, after all, well-known companies and universities are in Dongjin, and it is more convenient for Dongjin to expand its business.

Zhang Zhonghua said.

"When Nippon Steel is established, I will inject another $100 million, but you don't have to worry, this capital injection will not dilute your shares, and it will be regarded as the group's help to Nippon Steel's development.

At the same time, I will put 10% of the shares into the company's option pool, as a reward for excellent management and scientific researchers, and you will study how to distribute these shares. ”

It is not a good thing that Zhang Zhonghua holds too many shares, after all, this is Dongying and not Hong Kong Island, and everyone's interests must be tied together to ensure unity and withstand external pressure.

Hino Ichiro looked at the president Zhang Zhonghua and was full of gratitude, if the president injected another $100 million to dilute the shares, then his shares would probably be diluted to less than 10%.

In addition, the president will give 10% of the shares as a reward, and with this 10% equity, it will be very easy to recruit top talents in the future, and it will be difficult for the company to develop and grow.

……

Hearing Zhang Zhonghua's words, all the senior executives of the company in the office were all bright, as long as they work hard, they will also get shares, although they must have different rights of the same shares, but they can be regarded as having a head.

And Nippon Steel is probably the first company in Toei to give shares to the top management.

At the same time, the senior executives here also thought of some of their friends, and now the company merger is exactly where talents are needed, Nippon Steel has become the first steel company in Dongying, and there are share awards for doing well, which is not just a call.

The ideas of the top executives are in the hands of Zhang Zhonghua, as for the less dividends? As long as you control Nippon Steel, the benefits you can get are not comparable to money at all, what is the point of less dividends?
