Chapter 356
"Zhang Sheng, is the Jade Emperor Bank open to all citizens on Hong Kong Island this time?"
Wen Wei Po reporter asked.
"At present, Jade Emperor Bank has opened a number of branches in Southeast Asia and Dongying, and will soon open branches in other regions to better serve residents in Southeast Asia.
The Jade Emperor Bank is now officially open to all Hong Kong Island residents, but the limited reception capacity of the Jade Emperor Bank on Hong Kong Island makes it difficult to serve all Hong Kong Island residents, and can serve up to 200,000 Hong Kong Island residents in addition to the employees of the Jade Emperor Group. ”
Zhang Zhonghua said.
Jade Emperor Bank doesn't need so many Hong Kong dollars, but it can't help but carry out deposit absorption services, so it is enough to absorb deposits appropriately, so as not to offend all bank peers.
"Zhang Sheng, it is said that you have already invented the Chinese input method, but why hasn't it been promoted?"
A Sing Tao Daily reporter asked.
Zhang Zhonghua was extremely embarrassed to hear this question, how do you let me answer?
Do I want to say that I didn't apply for a patent or promote it because I wanted to enjoy a few more years of patent time?
Moreover, there are only so many companies on Hong Kong Island that use computers, doesn't this make me waste the patent protection period?
"At present, although the Chinese input method can be used to input Chinese characters, but there are still some rare words that cannot be output, this software is still under further research and development, and companies in need can go to the Jade Emperor Group to buy ......"
A lot of Chinese characters that Zhang Zhonghua has never heard of can't be typed, how can they be promoted, Chinese characters are too difficult.
After Zhang Zhonghua answered a few questions, he handed over the next interview to the Taipan Wang Pu Weishi of the Jade Emperor Bank, he didn't need to be in the limelight, and when the press conference was over, Zhang Zhonghua also returned to the Jade Emperor Building.
"Boss, the securities company of our group has been formed, but there is basically no business now."
The person in charge of Yuhuang Securities said depressedly, and now there are almost a lot of people in front of the exchange.
"Well, let's buy some shares of Wharf and Hongkong Land in Jardine Matheson first, and buy some shares of Dairy Farm by the way, and buy if there is a sell-off, if not, forget it.
Hong Kong Island doesn't know how many people pay attention to the Jade Emperor Group, don't concentrate on a large scale, these stocks are invested by hundreds of retail investors, you know what I mean? ”
Zhang Zhonghua said.
"Understand the boss, make a big move, I'll arrange for someone to buy a few more securities companies, and now the securities industry is almost unsupportable.
It's a bit more convenient and can also distract everyone. ”
At present, Yuhuang Securities can only be an empty shell, and it is better to cast a few more nets and make silent acquisitions, and everyone has something to do.
"Yes, arrange someone to buy a securities company, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better."
Zhang Zhonghua quipped.
"Boss, now the overall market value of Jardine Matheson is only more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, and Dairy International is not even 100 million Hong Kong dollars, boss, how much should we win?"
Zhang Zhonghua felt very speechless, he wanted to buy Jardine Matheson directly, but it definitely didn't work, if he really bought Jardine Matheson completely, it would directly touch the nerves of the British, and he wouldn't have to mix in Hong Kong Island in the future.
"Remember, we only buy stocks for financial investment, our Jade Emperor Group will have to mix in Hong Kong Island in the future, the four major foreign banks are now forbidden by British capital, and we must not be moved lightly, we can't offend the four major foreign banks, especially HSBC, now."
Money is not everything, if you touch the core interests of others, people will start to fight with you, which is completely more than worth the loss.
"I understand the boss, I'm just talking, I don't have that idea."
Since the beginning of this year, the price of land has skyrocketed for three consecutive years, and the market value of these companies has increased at least tenfold.
After a few days on Hong Kong Island, Zhang Zhonghua flew to Europe with the executives of the catering company, and now that Gaul is not suitable for expansion, the CFC's strategy in Europe needs to be adjusted accordingly.
Gaul has all kinds of strikes every year, plus half of the time every year is a holiday, and a hammer restaurant is opened, so he can only expand in another country, and Zhang Zhonghua is also quite helpless.
Canary Wharf, London, Jade Emperor Group Meeting Room.
"Boss, once the strike starts in Gaul, it will be at least two or three months, and we plan to go to West Germany to open up the market first."
Shang Xiufang said to Zhang Zhonghua.
This time it was getting worse, and there was really no way to continue to open a store in Gaul, and the employees who did not march with everyone would be regarded as an alternative and would be ostracized by the whole Gallic society.
"How are our employees treated in Gaul?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked curiously.
"With 70 hours a week, basically two shifts, a minimum wage of $150, and most restaurants are no longer open."
】
"Well, it's okay, wait for the Gallic side to finish the trouble, let's raise the salary, you can't raise the salary now, otherwise you will become a target."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
These employees can't be fired, and they have to be treated as uncles, and the consequences of firing employees in Gaul are really a bit unbearable.
In the future, employees in Europe, especially in Western Europe, will basically be like this, one by one.
"The number of white-feathered chickens on the German farm has also reached 8 million, and the scale of breeding is still expanding, and it is expected to be able to supply European countries by the end of the year."
Shang Xiufang introduced the relevant situation.
"Yes, let's start with Germany, then the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy. The completion of Carrefour has been completed, and the renovation team there will come to Europe to assist and step up the completion of the occupation of the European market. ”
Zhang Zhonghua also has to be anxious, selling knife labor has entered South American countries, CFC is not listed and does not need to pay dividends to shareholders, no shareholders are holding back, and all profits can be invested in new store expansion.
Now it is a race for time, competing for the speed of opening a store and the supply chain system, and in a few years will enter the base camp of the other party to fight.
"No problem, we estimate that there are currently 3,500 stores in the European market, and if the decoration team is large, it will take a year and a half to two years to occupy the European market.
In Europe, only West Germany, Gaul, Spain, and Turkey are larger, and other small countries can do it simultaneously. ”
Shang Xiufang said with confidence, I am afraid that a small country like Luxembourg will not need it for half a month, so it will be pushed over directly, and there is no need to open many stores in a big place.
Lao Maozi now controls most of Europe, and those blank markets can only be entered after 20 years, in 1990, Zhang Zhonghua is also an egg pain when he thinks about it.
Ugly countries and Canada will not be considered for the time being, the land is vast and sparsely populated, it is too troublesome to open a store, and the profit is relatively low, Zhang Zhonghua does not want to spend his precious time in these two countries.
These two locations also have South American countries, which can be used as final targets, and the two countries are also the base camps of knife labor, and they are the final decisive places.
"The West German branch of Yuhuang Animal Husbandry is also expanding rapidly, and Southeast Asia cannot supply such a large market as Europe."
Now the white feather chickens can still be transported to Europe, and it is difficult to say in the future, and it is estimated that the European market will still be self-sufficient in the future.
"All our energy is now on hatching new chicks, and it's just no problem to reach 20 million by the end of the year." Shinji Hira said.
After the two-hour meeting, Zhang Zhonghua, Xin Xiaoling, and He Jiliang came to the small conference room again, and now the money in the British account is a little too much, and it needs to be spent a little.
"Boss, you saw it over there at Canary Wharf, there are quite a few buildings for sale over there!"
The Jade Emperor Group is also going to have a headquarters in the UK, and these two three-story buildings are really too shabby, which is not in line with the momentum of the Jade Emperor Group's multinational group, and it is really insufficient.
"Are you talking about the 8-story building? How much does it cost? ”
Zhang Zhonghua followed Xin Xiaoling's gaze.
"£6 million, less than $15 million, is still more appropriate."
Xin Xiaoling said.
"How is it an 8-story building? These 8 floors are too short, not enough at all, can't we build more than 30 floors? ”
"Boss, there is no way, the citizens of London oppose the construction of high-rise buildings in Canary Wharf, saying that it will affect the building opposite, which is not harmonious."
He Jiliang explained to Zhang Zhonghua with a wry smile.
"Then let's buy two next to each other."
Hearing Xin Xiaoling's explanation, Zhang Zhonghua had a big head for a while, you are against a ghost, this will make your house appreciate or not.
"No problem, it will be done in two days. By the way, boss, when will Jade Emperor Bank enter the UK, the banking license here has already been obtained, and it is very easy. ”
Xin Xiaoling asked.
"Proudis will be in the UK at the end of this month, and then he will open a few branches in various cities, and he will buy or take a stake in a few suitable small local banks. The Jade Emperor Bank is still mainly engaged in acquisitions abroad, and will not make a big move. ”
"The banking network in Europe is very developed, but there is no need to be as troublesome as Dongying's, there are a few banks that can do financial turnover, and depositors are basically deposited in those big banks."
Xin Xiaoling explained.
It is enough to invest in some local banks, and the acquisition is completely unnecessary, as long as the funds can be turned over internationally, and there is no shortage of cash flow.
Soon, the Jade Emperor Bank in the City of London opened, and Zhang Zhonghua also officially attended the opening ceremony.
At this point, there is another insignificant small bank in the financial city, and the opening of the Jade Emperor Bank has not caused the slightest impact, but it is only the smallest of the hundreds of banks in the financial city.
A few days later, the employees of the decoration team of Jade Emperor Group entered West Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and other places on a large scale, and the CFC restaurant started the pace of rapid expansion in Europe.
At the same time, the renovation of Jade Emperor Bank branches in major cities in the United Kingdom also began, and Pvis began to recruit and poach bank employees on a frenzy.
The only thing that makes Zhang Zhonghua unhappy is that the situation in Gaul is getting worse, and less than 40 of the 100 CFC restaurants in Gaul are operating normally, which is really more than worth the loss, if it weren't for the fact that it is across the sea from the UK, the CFC catering company in West Germany may have almost laid out the layout.
After finishing his work in the UK, Zhang Zhonghua flew back to New York by plane from London.
The plane finally arrived in New York after an hour-long flight, and it was so slow across the Atlantic Ocean, and Boeing still had to work hard, but it was interesting to go back a day.
As soon as Zhang Zhonghua walked out of the airport with the security personnel, he saw Lou Xiao'e's family who came to pick up the airport.
After saying hello, a few people drove in the direction of the villa in a car.
"Ah Hua, why don't you go to college, you can also get a university diploma, I remember that you did well in your studies when you were in Sijiu City."
Lou Xiao'e quipped.
"What college do I go to? I now have a Ph.D. from Toei Tojin University and am an honorary professor at the Faculty of Engineering of Tojin University, do I still need to study? ”
Zhang Zhonghua said disdainfully.
"Ph.D. from Tojin University? Or an honorary professor at the Faculty of Engineering? Is what you said true or false? ”
Lou Xiao'e asked in surprise, that is Dongjin University, she had heard of the prestige of Dongjin University when she was studying on Hong Kong Island.
"Of course it's true, in the second half of the year I will find a way to get another professor emeritus at Stanford University, and by the way, I will give a lecture.
I am a world-renowned computer expert, a well-known writer, and I have written three textbooks. ”
Zhang Zhonghua said disdainfully to Lou Xiao'e.
"Uncle Ahua, I miss you."
Lou Xiaobao ran directly to Zhang Zhonghua's side, hugged Zhang Zhonghua's thigh and said.
Are you thinking of me? You want to eat prawns!
"Uncle Ahua, you can make me prawns to eat!"
Before Zhang Zhonghua could debunk him, Lou Xiaobao revealed his purpose by himself.
The corners of Lou Xiao'e's mouth couldn't help twitching when she heard this.
"Xiaobao, your Uncle Ahua is very tired when he comes back just now, and I'll ask your Uncle Ahua to cook prawns for you tomorrow, okay!"
Liu Xiaoli knew that Zhang Zhonghua had been on the plane for most of the day, so she persuaded Lou Xiaobao to leave.
"Uncle Ahua, you come and make me prawns tomorrow!"
Before leaving, Lou Xiaobao didn't forget to ask Zhang Zhonghua to cook prawns for him tomorrow.
"Ah Hua, you don't know, some time ago, there was a lot of excitement here in the ugly country, and those black people made trouble for three days."
After sending Lou Xiaobao and Liu Xiaoli away, Lou Xiao'e gloated.
"No matter how lively the ugly country is, can there be Gallic liveliness, Gaul is now on a national strike, and the employees of our CFC restaurant have also been on strike for more than a month."
Zhang Zhonghua said disdainfully.
"Ah, what happened in Gaul?"
Lou Xiao'e asked in surprise.
"The people of Gaul demanded a maximum of five days a week, a maximum of eight hours a day, and a minimum salary of $200 per month......"
Zhang Zhonghua reluctantly introduced the matter of Gaul.
"What good things are these Gauls thinking? The factory on Hong Kong Island works 13 hours a day. I only have two days off a month.
The average working day on Hong Kong Island is 360 hours a month, and Gaul requires 160 hours a month. ”
has not spoken, Lou's mother also said speechlessly.
