Chapter 359
Central, Hong Kong Island.
The global headquarters of Jade Emperor Group.
Personnel Department, Office of the Superintendent.
Gong Qigao, the HR director of Jade Emperor Group, is in the office of the Hong Kong Island headquarters, and now he is looking down on Hong Kong Island in front of the window, looking at the streets where people come and go, and he can't help but feel a lot of emotion.
As the personnel director of the Jade Emperor Group, it can be said that he is the second person in the Jade Emperor Group, one person is above 10,000 people.
Backed by the big tree of the Jade Emperor Group, even a few tycoons at the top of Hong Kong Island were polite to him, because his boss Zhang Sheng did not have too many social activities, and he was the external representative of Zhang Sheng and the Jade Emperor Group.
Suddenly, his secretary knocked on the door and interrupted Gong Qigao.
"Please come in!"
Gong Qigao, who returned to the desk, asked the secretary to come in.
"Superintendent, the front desk phone, Brother Lak from the police station is here, saying that he is looking for the boss!"
"Brother Lak is looking for a boss? I'll go see the situation first. ”
After finishing speaking, Gong Qigao got up and took the elevator to the group's reception room.
Walking into the reception room, looking at the chief inspector of Hong Kong Island in front of him, Brother Lak, Gong Qigao was still a little apprehensive in his heart, although his status has been greatly improved now, he is still instinctively a little panicked in the face of Lu Le, after all, Lu Le's reputation on Hong Kong Island is not blown out.
He didn't know what Brother Lak was doing when he came to find the boss, but the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, and now it is not what it used to be, and Lu Le didn't dare to have any thoughts about the boss?
"Brother Lak, welcome to the Jade Emperor Group, it's a pity that our boss is not on Hong Kong Island now."
Although Lu Le is a little weak now, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, Gong Qigao didn't want to add trouble out of thin air, so he asked Brother Lak very politely.
"Hello Mr. Gong, I don't know where Zhang Sheng is now?"
Lu Le asked.
The current situation on Hong Kong Island is not very good, he is ready to retire early in the rapids, there are not many people on Hong Kong Island who have the ability to take over his own industry in a comprehensive way, and only Zhang Sheng is more familiar with it, and Lu Le has not much contact with other people.
"Our boss is currently in San Francisco, the ugly country."
Gong Qigao said speechlessly.
"Then is it convenient to contact Zhang Sheng directly now?"
Lu Le asked with a smile.
"At the moment, the boss shouldn't have anything to do, Brother Lak, you wait a minute, I'll call and ask."
Gong Qigao looked at the time and said to Lu Le, then picked up the phone and made an international call.
"Hello, I'm Zhang Long."
A man's voice came from the other end of the phone, although Lu Le had never seen Zhang Long, but he knew this name, the head of the group of murderers in the Jade Emperor Security guard, who had been with him all the year round, should also be one of Zhang Zhonghua's brothers.
"Hello Mr. Zhang, I'm Gong Qigao, I have something to report to the boss, does the boss have time now?"
"Oh, it's Director Gong, I'll call the boss."
"Okay."
After Gong Qigao finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Zhang Zhonghua was drinking tea on the balcony, and when he heard that Gong Qigao was looking for him, he walked to the phone and picked up the phone.
"I'm Zhang Zhonghua, Director Gong, is there something going on on Hong Kong Island?"
"Boss, it's nothing, it's Brother Lak from the police station who is looking for something for you."
Gong Qigao explained to Zhang Zhonghua.
"Oh, it's Brother Lak, please ask Brother Lak to answer the phone."
"Zhang Sheng, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm Lu Le, you're too creative."
Soon Lu Le's voice came from the phone.
What made Zhang Zhonghua curious was that it was said that Lu Le should be running away.
Zhang Zhonghua knows that Lu Le has 500 million Hong Kong dollars in assets and property.
"Hello Brother Lak, I'm sorry I haven't been on Hong Kong Island lately."
Zhang Zhonghua said politely.
Lu Le looked up at Gong Qigao and found that Gong Qigao had left the office, so he said reassuringly:
"Zhang Sheng, I am planning to retire recently, I want to immigrate with my family, I don't know if Zhang Sheng is interested in some properties?
You can rest assured that these properties are in someone else's name. ”
If he wants to go to Canada, he needs to exchange his assets for US dollars or pounds, even if it is Japanese yen, and if he wants to exchange Hong Kong dollars, he will have to exchange them again, but no one can exchange such a large amount, so he can only find Zhang Zhonghua.
"Brother Lak, I don't know how much the property in your hand is, what kind of property it is."
Zhang Zhonghua is not afraid that the Independent Commission Against Corruption will chase him back, and he is also trading legally, Lu Le has been the chief inspector of Hong Kong Island for so many years, and the assets in his hands must have been dealt with.
"About 300 million Hong Kong dollars, Sogo Shopping Mall on Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui is now discounted by 150 million Hong Kong dollars, there is a 50-acre land on Hong Kong Island near Victoria Harbour, and there are 160 shops and mid-levels villas in good locations."
Lu Le was very excited in his heart, and only Zhang Sheng's money could be paid off at one time, and he had enough foreign exchange in his hand.
Inspector 500 million really lives up to his reputation, but now it's the sixties and seventies, and you're getting a little too much.
In the future, Nathan Road Sogo Mall can be demolished to build two skyscrapers, and a super mall can be built underneath, and the vacant land by Victoria Harbour can be used to build a 100-storey company headquarters, which is really perfect.
"No problem, when does Brother Lak need to trade, I can arrange for the group's senior management to hand over, US dollars, British pounds, Japanese yen, you can transfer money directly in Swiss banks."
Zhang Zhonghua said briskly.
This time, the Jade Emperor Group has more than 800 stores hoarded on Hong Kong Island, and it is trivial to open a restaurant or a convenience store on Hong Kong Island in the future.
"It's best to complete the transaction within a month, for the time being, please ask Zhang Sheng to help keep it secret for a while."
Lu Le was waiting for your words, and he felt that he didn't know Zhang Zhonghua in vain.
"Understood, don't worry, Brother Lak, come to the ugly country to play with me when you have time."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
Is it finally going to run away, of course, to keep it secret, not to mention that those properties themselves also need it.
The Mid-levels mansion is also available now, which is a status symbol, and as for the Hong Kong government, Lao Tzu spent money to buy it.
Governor MacLehose still has three years to go to Hong Kong Island, and at that time, he can drip so much love, can he still find me to go back?
I, Zhang Zhonghua, am also the richest man in Yanxia, don't I want to lose face?
Lu Le and Zhang Zhonghua chatted for more than ten minutes and then paused the old days, the transatlantic phone call is very expensive, the two agreed on a time, and the people of the Jade Emperor Group inspected the store with themselves.
Zhang Zhonghua then handed it over to Gong Qigao and the senior management of the finance department, and specially explained the need for confidentiality.
Gong Qigao is not a fool, he understands that these properties belong to Brother Lak, and if anyone leaks this matter, he will definitely be planted by Brother Lak.
This time it cost $60 million at once, and these properties will be worth at least $6 billion in the future, and Central and Tsim Sha Tsui are super prime lots.
Nowadays, it is very easy for people on Hong Kong Island to buy land from remote areas, and it is also the easiest time to acquire land. After a while, MacLehose became governor, and all the real estate developers could only honestly auction the land, or buy land rights and interests from farmers, and of course, the way was to demolish the old buildings and build buildings.
Zhang Zhonghua left the study humming a song, and continued to go back to the balcony to drink tea.
Zhang Zhonghua flew to San Francisco, came to the Stanford University Industrial Park, and looked at the company under construction, Zhang Zhonghua was also completely speechless about the speed of construction of the ugly country.
Now Zhang Zhonghua is extremely sympathetic to McDonald's and Ken Beat Chicken, it is really not easy for you to develop in an ugly country, no wonder you haven't gone out of the Americas for so many years, if you stay on Hong Kong Island, you will already be moving in three months.
Zhang Zhonghua sat in the office and looked at the faxes sent by various groups in the past few days, and each company and region briefly introduced the current development situation.
The development of CFC catering company is very good, and the profits are basically invested in the expansion of new stores.
The number of CFC restaurants in Dongying has reached 1,300, and the expansion has also been temporarily stopped, and there are basically CFC restaurants in densely populated areas;
CFC restaurants have reached 700 branches in the UK, and they have temporarily stopped expanding, and the market is basically saturated, and they only need to enter new business districts in the future;
At the same time, CFC restaurants are making good progress in Europe, with more than 500 stores now in West Germany and more than 150 in the Netherlands and Belgium each basically saturated, and are now in progress of renovation.
The development speed of Yuhuang Electric Appliance Company is also good, in addition to fans, humidifiers and other small profit staple products, there are more and more new products.
Washing machines are now the best-selling countries in the world, and the unique patent of washing machines is a washing machine that beats various giants, and the market share is constantly rising;
The popcorn machine is also selling well now, although the profit is lower, it has also entered various movie theaters, and a variety of flavors of popcorn are also popular all over the world;
Induction cookers are also becoming more and more popular in Dongying and Chouguo, but other giants have also joined the production of induction cookers, and Yuhuang Electric has promoted induction cookers around the world;
】
All kinds of electric pots, especially electric hot pots, are very popular in Dongying, and hot pot people also like them.
Jade Emperor Kitchen Company has launched a lot of kitchen products, and its market share in Southeast Asia and Dongying is also getting higher and higher.
Rice steamers for steaming rice, large electric pots for cooking ramen, dishwashers, vegetable washers, dough sheeters, dough mixers, dumpling machines, meat cutters, and so on are very popular, and restaurant kitchenware is now almost all available.
Now, with the stainless steel supplied by Nippon Steel, central kitchen equipment such as range hoods, gas stoves, stainless steel cabinets, and integrated cabinets have also been marketed one after another, not only supplying CFC catering companies, but also selling well in Toei and Southeast Asia.
Not to mention the development of Carrefour supermarket, Dongying's 130 comprehensive supermarkets have all been opened, and the profits are quite lucrative.
Now there are 6 supporting subsidiaries of supermarkets, and new subsidiaries are also under construction to make up for the shortcomings of the supermarket supply chain system.
The turnover of supermarkets is also increasing day by day, and the daily profit of 140 supermarkets is as high as 10 million US dollars, and supermarkets and CFC restaurants have become the two major cash cows of the Jade Emperor Group.
Under the leadership of Pu Weishi, Jade Emperor Bank has developed rapidly, and there are more than 800 graduate and undergraduate students under the Jade Emperor Bank, all of whom are elites.
Jade Emperor Bank has as many as 150 branches in Dongying; There are also more than 30 branches in the UK, and one or two branches in major cities;
The number of branches on Hong Kong Island has also reached 18, and the expansion has been temporarily suspended;
The number of branches in Wanwan has also reached 30, and now a network with Hong Kong Island is also being built.
It is still relatively difficult for the bank to absorb deposits, and the funds under the group are enough to support the operation of the bank, and it seems that it is not bad for money now.
Jade Emperor Logistics Company has now developed into a giant with more than 10,000 employees, and has been optimized and reorganized again.
Yuhuang Logistics Company has split the logistics business of each company, and Yuhuang Logistics Company has transformed into a group company responsible for international logistics, no longer involving the logistics business of each company, and the organizational structure is clear and the efficiency has been improved a lot.
The finance department and the legal department directly under the Jade Emperor Group are also getting bigger and bigger, with 400 people in the finance department and 300 people in the legal department, most of whom are high-achieving students who graduated with a master's degree.
The two departments supervise the various companies under their umbrella, Zhang Zhonghua also put down a lot, the company is big, there must be a lot of corruption, fraud, and the direct authority of the group of course has great power to prevent micro problems.
Of course, Zhang Zhonghua also introduced some international companies to audit the accounts together, otherwise how could Zhang Zhonghua rest assured that he would be in the ugly country, and the companies could set up an executive team to manage the company after completing their international expansion.
At present, the Jade Emperor Group has 300,000 employees, and with the expansion of CFC restaurants and Carrefour supermarkets, it is believed that the number of people will exceed 600,000 in less than three years.
I don't know if the number of people will break through the 10 million mark in the future, the service industry is the company with the most employees, and there is a huge Chinese market, so I have some excitement when I think about it.
The companies under the Jade Emperor Group pay more than $70 million a month in wages, and the annual salary and bonuses will exceed $1 billion, and as the company's industry and employees increase, salaries are also rising.
While individual companies are highly profitable, employee salaries account for 25% of the company's revenue, which is well above the future average of 15%.
There is no way to do it with a high proportion of wages, computer technology is not developed, if the cashier and automation are higher, the cost will be reduced by at least half, and the turnover will be doubled, as well as chips, storage, etc., which seriously restricts the development of computer technology.
Although electronic products are profitable, the audience is small and the sales volume is still too low, far from being comparable with the clothing, food, housing and transportation industry. Restaurants, supermarkets, and convenience stores have at least 40 years of profiteering, and if the CFC restaurants, Carrefour supermarkets, and Homemart convenience stores under the Jade Emperor Group are opened all over the world, they will be a combination of McDonald's, Wal-Mart and 7-11, and they are also the world's giant companies.
Zhang Zhonghua couldn't help but be a little excited when he thought about the companies under the Jade Emperor Group, the world's largest restaurant chain - CFC Catering Company, the world's largest supermarket chain - Carrefour Supermarket, the world's largest convenience store chain - Homemart, the world's largest steel company - Nippon Steel, the world's largest animal husbandry company - Jade Emperor Animal Husbandry, the world's largest software company - Easy Software, and the world's largest kitchenware company - Jade Emperor Kitchenware.
As for the Jade Emperor Bank, just wash and sleep, it can't be compared with the Morgan family, Rothschild and other families, and the century-old heritage is not comparable to the Jade Emperor Bank. Yuhuang Electric Company, there is no problem in the field of small household appliances, as for major appliances, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with the giants of Dongying.
