Zhang Zhonghua happily left Intel and returned to YH Software not far away accompanied by security personnel.

Thinking that he still has more than 450 million dollars lying in his bank account in Switzerland, he can't let so much money lie down and eat ashes, otherwise this money will depreciate every day with inflation.

So Zhang Zhonghua went to take out the world region again, although he didn't know where the specific mining site was, but the general location was still a little understood, after all, in the previous life, because of the import of ore, foreign countries did not make trouble with the Yanxia government.

He had to buy some land to open the mines, one for Nippon Steel and the other for importing into the country in the future.

As for the acquisition of land in Samba Country, Zhang Zhonghua has completely given up, and several places he knows have become the properties of Samba Country Shushui River Valley Company.

Samba Valley will be the world's largest producer and exporter of iron ore and the largest mining company on the entire American continent.

However, the Tangshui River Valley was established as early as 1942, and the Tangshui River Valley has long monopolized 80% of the national iron ore production in Samba Country, and the iron mine has already occupied all the locations of the iron ore in Samba Country that Zhang Zhonghua knows, and Zhang Zhonghua can only wash and sleep.

As for North America, there is no need to think about the ugly country, and the iron ore mines in Canada have long been occupied by the steel companies of the ugly country.

In addition to Samba's national steel, there are only Peru and Chile left in South America, but they have already been divided.

Asian and Middle Eastern countries are rich in iron ore, not to mention the Middle East.

As for Australia, Zhang Zhonghua also has a headache when he thinks about it, but there are three supergiants entrenched there: BW, Billiton and Rio Tinto.

Founded in Spain in 1873, Rio Tinto is headquartered in the UK and Melbourne in Australia.

Rio Tinto Group Future is one of the world's largest suppliers of resource extraction and minerals, and the world's second largest iron ore producer.

Beginning in 1962, Rio Tinto began to merge with mining companies and is now one of Australia's three iron ore giants.

Founded in Melbourne in 1860, Billiton is Australia's No. 1 mining magnate; Founded in Melbourne in 1885, BHP is Australia's second largest mining company.

】

After decades of BHP acquisition of BHP Billiton, BHP Group is a well-known multinational company mainly engaged in oil and minerals, which has become the world's largest resources company.

Zhang Zhonghua knows that 90% of Australia's iron ore resources are concentrated in Western Australia, mainly in two major regions: the Pilbara region and the Midwest.

The iron ore in the Pilbara region is mainly high-grade iron ore, and the specific varieties include low-phosphorus, high-phosphorus Bruckman mines, Malamamba mines, riverbed mines, etc. The iron ore in the central and western regions is mainly low-grade magnetite, a small amount of hematite and mixed ore.

Although Zhang Zhonghua knew this, it was a pity that he didn't have any balls, because most of them were found in one piece, even if he was not found, he wanted to go to Australia to open a mine.

Australia imposed a ban on iron ore exports in 1938 for 22 years.

On November 16, 1952, Hancock discovered the largest iron ore ever found on the planet in Western Australia, and his discovery changed Western Australia, Australia and the whole world!

It has now been 15 years since the discovery of iron ore in Australia's central west, and no one wants to get a piece of the pie in two more 15 years.

Rio Tinto, BHP and Billiton not only have a near monopoly on the best mines in the Pilbara, but more importantly have a firm grip on the local infrastructure – ports and railways.

The lack of sufficient quality resources and astronomical infrastructure investment has made it impossible for latecomers to enter.

Rio Tinto has nine major mines in Western Australia, three of which are joint ventures.

At the same time, it also has around 700 kilometers of railway lines, a terminal and other infrastructure located in the port of Dampier.

Zhang Zhonghua wants to open a mine in Australia, first build hundreds of kilometers of railways and ports, and the population of Australia is only 11 million.

It is really difficult to get a piece of the pie, and it is a pipe dream for the three companies to want to buy shares, so for today's plan, they can only invest in some iron ore through Nippon Steel first.

Zhang Zhonghua looked at the world iron ore distribution map that had been marked, his head hurt, there was no drama in the Americas, and there was no drama in Australia, and it seemed that only China and the Soviet Union were left.

In the 60s, it was too difficult to invest in the steel industry, and Zhang Zhonghua remembered the steel king - Carnegie, who was known as the "father of charity in an ugly country".

Andrew Carnegie was born on November 25, 1835, in the ancient capital of Scotland, Denfermline.

In 1848, life was too difficult for Carnegie and his family to New York Harbor on the east coast of the ugly country;

In April 1865, Carnegie co-founded the Carnegie Coleman United Steel Works in Pennsylvania;

In 1873, during the economic panic of the ugly country, Carnegie's partner Colloman brothers and his brother's father-in-law sold their shares to Carnegie;

In 1881, Carnegie fulfilled his childhood dream and founded the Carnegie Brothers Company with his younger brother Tom, which produced 1/37 of the country's steel;

In 1890, Carnegie changed the name of the company to Carnegie Steel Company, and the capital grew to $25 million, and he held more than half of the company's shares;

In 1892, Carnegie merged the Carnegie Brothers Company with two other companies to form the Carnegie Steel Company that bears its name;

In February 1901, Carnegie sold Carnegie Steel to Morgan for $500 million.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Carnegie Steel became the largest steel company in the world.

With more than 20,000 employees and some of the world's most advanced equipment, it produces more steel than the UK as a whole and earns $40 million a year.

By 1901, Carnegie Steel produced 25 percent of all steel sold in the United States.

In the ugly country, along with the names of the "car king" Ford, the "oil king" Rockefeller and other big chaebols, there is also a "steel king", he is Andrew Carnegie.

In the industrial history of the ugly country, Carnegie occupies a strong page, he conquered the world with steel, became the richest man in the ugly country for a time, and later donated almost all his wealth to the society.

70 years ago, Carnegie became the king of steel, how does Zhang Zhonghua feel that he wants to invest in minerals now?

Forget it, I won't open my own mine, and in the future, the iron ore will be handed over to Nippon Steel, and I can't do anything at present.

Nippon Steel does not have to worry about developing into the world's No. 1 steel giant in the future, and the iron ore piece Yoshihiro Inayama and Takehiro Hino know better, and they are purely blind.

Zhang Zhonghua flipped through the world map and saw that the iron ore distribution map he knew seemed to have been occupied.

The oil and iron ore fields have long been carved up, and these are not something that the Jade Emperor Group without a background can enter, so what areas to invest in?

After the iron ore investment failed, Zhang Zhonghua began to consider other investment directions, and the money in the bank will only depreciate, so it is better to spend it early.

The land hoarding on Hong Kong Island is unreliable, there is not much land over there, and a lot of wasteland in Tseung Kwan O has been hoarded, and most of the high-quality areas are in the hands of the four major ocean companies;

If you continue to buy property on Dongying Island, you must also have a suitable business, and flipping houses on Dongying Island will be spurned;

In the home appliance industry, the R&D cycle is too long to compete with the giants of Dongying Island, and the patent of the TV cannot be authorized, and the refrigerator is not in a half-street state now;

In the automotive industry, this is even more useless, there is no technology, no talent, no market, and it is easy to be jointly suppressed.

Clothing, food, housing and transportation, it seems that only the retail field can be invested, Carrefour supermarket is a big retail, and now you can enter the convenience store to form a perfect complement.

Convenience stores can not only sell a large number of fast-moving consumer goods with small profits but also provide catering, and most importantly, strong sales channels, comics and newspapers are not trivial in the future.

The global convenience store chain giant 7-Eleven was founded as early as 1927, and in 1946, the Southern Company extended its business hours to 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., thus giving birth to the "7-11" trademark.

In 1973, Toying Island retail giant Yin Teng Yokado Company signed a regional franchise agreement with Chouguo Southern Company, and began to act as an agent for the 7-11 brand, developing and expanding 7-11.

In the 90s, the 7-Eleven brand was acquired by Yoto Yokado, and the world's convenience store retail giant was born.

Zhang Zhonghua is extremely familiar with 7-11, think about the future convenience bee has launched a shared bicycle, and the streets are full of convenience stores.

Convenience stores rely on frequent purchases in small batches, and it is only possible to develop chain convenience stores by utilizing an advanced logistics system, as it enables frequent purchases in small batches.

A typical convenience store is very small, with an average area of only about 100 square meters, but such a store offers more than 3,000 kinds of daily necessities.

Although convenience stores offer a wide range of products, they usually do not have a storage space, so in principle, the sales space should be as large as possible in order to increase product sales.

And all products must be replenished in a timely manner through the distribution center.

In order to ensure the efficient supply of goods, the distribution channel is particularly strong, and advanced technologies such as big data and cloud computing are all applied to convenience stores.

Under the new distribution system, a commissioned wholesaler is assigned to be responsible for a number of areas of sales activity, authorized to deal in products from different manufacturers.

In addition, by signing sales agreements with wholesalers and manufacturers, the headquarters is able to develop efficient distribution channels to connect with all stores.

Zhang Zhonghua was very excited when he remembered the broad market prospects of 7-11, which is a global retail giant and the world's largest convenience store chain.

Jade Emperor Supermarket can learn from the successful model of 7-11, and in a few years, it can completely allow convenience stores to occupy the markets in Southeast Asia, Dongying Island and Europe, and it can save a lot of time by joining half of its own business.

7-11 is also very cautious in recruiting franchisees, and the franchise fee is super high, and most of the franchisees of 7-11 are mainly their own employees.

This is also the difference between 711 and many chain industries, training its existing store managers or employees to become franchisees. Isn't this all the successful experience that 7-11 has summed up for itself, just copy it directly.

Carrefour's own food companies will also increase, and these products can be sold in convenience stores. In the future, those who sell mineral water can become the richest man in China.

In the future, can the Jade Emperor Group also enter the field of beverages, Master Zhang's iced tea, Zhang's rock sugar pear, Zhang's green tea, Zhang's nutrition express, and mineral water will not need Master Zhang.

There are also instant noodles, Master Zhang's braised beef noodles, Master Zhang's Laotan sauerkraut noodles, Master Zhang's shrimp and fish plate noodles, etc., of course, Laotan sauerkraut is forgotten.

With Carrefour supermarkets and convenience stores, where will there be Master Kong and Unification in the future, and I have the final say on what the supermarket sells.

Then it was decided so happily, the Jade Emperor Group will follow the supermarket industry, and the next step will be to enter the retail industry convenience stores, not to mention anything else, just for the huge cash flow must also enter, not to mention that the timing is very good, maybe it can directly monopolize the Asian market.

It would be cool to stock up on more storefronts in Dongying Island, the future housing prices in Dongying Island are astronomical, and when it came to the peak time in 1989, some more stores were sold, and life was really good.

The Jade Emperor Group can also work hard to strangle 7-Eleven, Lawson, and FamilyMart convenience stores in the cradle, so that the convenience stores of the Jade Emperor Group can be dominant.

What is the name of the convenience store, 7-11 is very smooth, but unfortunately it is already there, familymart is not very good, and internationalization will be affected.

Zhang Zhonghua has entered a state of difficulty, or it is also called FamilyMart convenience store, and the English is homemart, and his ability is limited.

When Zhang Zhonghua finalized his entry into the retail convenience store industry, he began to recall the operation mode of 7-11. The logistics system of Carrefour supermarket and Jade Emperor Logistics Company is a lot easier, and it will get twice the result with half the effort, and now the supply chain system of Carrefour supermarket is also quite good, and convenience stores are FMCG or very simple.

Thinking of the convenience store's main food oden, Zhang Zhonghua couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he really missed. Wrapped fish balls, golden cuttlefish balls, tribute pills, Beihai Xianggu pills, tofu skin cuttlefish rolls, seafood soup dumplings, crab roe cuttlefish balls, crab roe salad shrimp, etc., Zhang Zhonghua has eaten dozens of kinds, and this piece is still handed over to the personnel of Dongying Island and Baodao Catering Department for research and development.

Oden has a long history on Higashieijima, and it was the Kansai people who gave this dish its name, and it later spread to Nanwan. In South Bend, the soup, dipping sauce and its varieties are enriched, which is nutritious and self-contained, and has become a famous flavor snack. Later, it really became popular in Dongying Island, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, and it can be seen how profitable it is to sell a radish for two yuan.

Zhang Zhonghua was very happy when he remembered the huge cash flow and franchise fee of the convenience store, and he couldn't stop smiling, and now the retail industry is very profitable.

It's better to build an atomic bomb than to sell tea eggs, this is not a joke, doesn't it mean that the profit of buying tea eggs at the train station is thousands a day.

Convenience stores can also bring countless decoration orders to Huamei Decoration Company, which is really a perfect complement, and Lou's father's decoration company is really about to open full branches around the world.

Homemart, it's you.
