Chapter 396
Hu Xian didn't interrupt the assistant's words, but listened to them all quietly, and then said with a solemn face, "I know everything you said."
"I've seen the Jade Emperor Daily issue today, and their sales are really shocking. Although many readers of yesterday's Jade Emperor Daily were looking at Zhang Shoufu.
But it is undeniable that our *** is not as good as the Jade Emperor Daily, and even a lot worse than them, so if it continues, our newspaper sales may fall off a cliff."
Hu Xian didn't expect the situation to be so severe, the development of the Jade Emperor Daily seriously exceeded her expectations, which made her unexpected, and she felt a little at a loss.
Hu Xian originally estimated that the sales of the Jade Emperor Daily would start from forty or fifty thousand copies, and then begin to increase rapidly, and then after a period of development, it eventually surpassed ***.
The initial sales of 40,000 or 50,000 copies of the first issue of "Jade Emperor Daily" were already extremely high estimates in Hu Xian's opinion.
But what Hu Xian didn't expect was that the sales of the first issue of the Jade Emperor Daily in Hong Kong and Aowan directly reached ten times her estimate, and the sales volume on the first day alone was as high as 450,000 copies.
The most terrifying thing is that this terrifying sales are still only in the three places of Hong Kong and Aowan, "Jade Emperor Daily" has not entered the sales of Southeast Asia and other countries in Dongying, it is really a river crossing dragon, no, not a river crossing dragon, but a day super dragon, a terrifying giant beast that can devour heaven and earth.
Although this super beast that can devour heaven and earth is only in its infancy, the giant beast is a giant beast after all, as long as it grows a little, it can easily defeat the lion and tiger, not to mention some pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep.
"Boss, the homogenization of our two newspapers is too serious, and the reading groups are also highly overlapping, I am afraid we must also transform and give way, otherwise we will ......."
The assistant sighed, he didn't say the rest of the words, but Hu Xian fully understood what he wanted to express.
"Well, how did things get the way they are?"
Hu Xian couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she thought of her father Hu Wenhu.
"My father is also a dignified Southeast Asian newspaper tycoon and a panacea (cool oil) tycoon, after the death of my father, the Sing Tao newspaper industry was handed over to my own hands, and the development of more than ten years of trembling has not only not gone to a higher level, but gradually declined, and now it is the moment of life and death, is my father's life's work going to fall into his own hands?"
Hu Xian was very unwilling, but she was more powerless in her heart.
The Jade Emperor Daily's "Jade Emperor Daily" is backed by the big tree of the Jade Emperor Group, with abundant funds and sources all over the world.
And archetypal survival? Where can the transformation go?
Isn't it a dog book and a horse bet? Or publish the gossip of Fengyue, celebrities and tycoons? If that's the case, she'd rather *** die completely.
However, how should *** deal with the attack of the Jade Emperor Daily, Hu Xian fell into deep thought.
……
On this day, Zhang Zhonghua was reading the report in the Jade Emperor Building.
Suddenly, I received a phone call, a transatlantic call from an ugly country. learned from Bruce Lee on the other end of the phone that the movie "Raptors Across the River" written by him has begun to select actors around the world, and filming will start soon.
Zhang Zhonghua was very excited when he heard the news, this movie is finally going to start shooting, it is really not easy, this should be the first Hollywood movie starring Bruce Lee in the real sense.
At the same time, it should also be the first Hollywood movie starring Yanxia people, and Zhang Zhonghua is very happy about this.
What makes Zhang Zhonghua happiest is that the script of this movie has been completely changed by Zhang Zhonghua, and there are quite a lot of advertisements in the whole movie, CFC restaurants, convenience stores, Carrefour supermarkets, etc.
Especially in the movie, the protagonist and the villain have a lot of fight scenes in the CFC restaurant and Carrefour supermarket, and the most awesome thing is that there are branches in the movie no matter which country they go to.
In Zhang Zhonghua's view, this movie is to
Maybe it will be rated as the first commercial, and you think you're watching a movie, but you're actually watching a commercial.
Thinking about it, Zhang Zhonghua was still a little excited, and he was even wondering if he could invite the goddess Audrey He to make a cameo, we are not short of money, just give more money.
Just when Zhang Zhonghua was thinking nonsense, Zheng Juan walked into his office, Zheng Juan was a capable and well-dressed female elite, and she was dressed very fashionably, looking no different from those female white-collar workers forty or fifty years later.
"Boss, Jade Emperor Animal Husbandry also has good and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Zheng Juan said to Zhang Zhonghua.
"Good news or bad news, which do I want to hear first? Are you playing with me?"
Zhang Zhonghua glanced at Zheng Juan, and couldn't help complaining in his heart, but he didn't want to think about who brought this trick first.
"Then tell me what the good news is."
"The good news is that there is news from Dongying, and the Ministry of Commerce has issued the latest notice, all kinds of materials from Southeast Asia can now enter the Dongying market smoothly, and our CFC restaurant can get normal supplies from here.
This will reduce our procurement costs a lot, and whether it is a CFC restaurant, Carrefour or a convenience store, the overall profit will return to the previous state, or even increase."
Zheng Juan said to Zhang Zhonghua with a smile.
"That's good news, but the bad news is that Europe is still prohibiting purchases from Southeast Asia, right? In this way, our CFC restaurant has to buy from the ugly country, the cost is too high."
Zhang Zhonghua guessed.
"Okay boss, you're smart and unfortunate, you guessed it right, European countries are basically still restricting Southeast Asian meat from entering the European market."
Zheng Juan said helplessly.
After getting Zheng Juan's affirmative answer, Zhang Zhonghua's brows were about to twist into a ball.
Although the chicken factories in West Germany have been expanding, they are currently unable to supply the entire European market, and even if they continue to expand, it will be difficult for me to supply the whole of Europe, and the breeding industry will inevitably be limited in Europe.
However, white feather chicken, as the most important ingredient in CFC restaurants, is indispensable.
There is a world of difference in price difference between purchasing in Europe and the United States and purchasing in Southeast Asia.
This is really a bad news, it can't be worse, the cost will rise and the profit will be reduced a lot, as one of the group's cash cows, CFC's profit has dropped sharply, which is unacceptable to Zhang Zhonghua.
It is not yet the 70s, Europe has directly banned the import of meat from Southeast Asia, and without the cheap meat supply in Southeast Asia, how can CFC restaurants expand rapidly in Europe.
"All the meat and grain in Europe will be purchased from the ugly countries, Canada and Latin America?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked.
"Yes, boss, the European side is closer to the Americas, and the sea transportation is also very convenient.
We may have to set up a breeding base in another country every week, and transport meat from the Americas to supply the European market, especially Latin America, at a cost that is not much higher than in Southeast Asia.
It is difficult to meet the huge demand in Europe with farms in West Germany alone, and it is too risky to put farms in one country."
Zhang Zhonghua pinched his eyebrows and said worriedly: "Even if you build another large-scale farm in Latin America and want to supply Europe, it will not be possible to do it in a short time, let alone a year, it is really X-X-X!!
It takes at least half a year to build a large-scale farm, and it also takes a lot of time to train and hatch white-feathered chickens.
It took half a year to build, and this is still because the people of Asia, especially East Asia, are hard-working, so they can achieve the speed, Zhang Zhonghua, a person from North and South America, really dare not compliment,
The cost of Canada, an ugly country in North America, is high, Zhang Zhonghua in Mexico does not dare to go, Latin America is rich in products, and it is indeed the backyard of an ugly country, and the ugly country is always doing things there.
"Well, let's go to the European restaurant first
Beef burger supply, appropriately reduce chicken burgers, our business will not be affected too much, and the priority is to supply the British market, where the consumption power is the highest in Europe."
When the two were discussing countermeasures, the general manager of Yuhuang Animal Husbandry Company also came to Zhang Zhonghua's office in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the office, he saw Zheng Juan in the office, and then he understood that since Zheng Juan was here, the boss already knew that he was going to say the news, and he was a little slow to come from Tin Shui Wai.
"Are you here because of the change in procurement policy between Toei and Europe?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked.
"Yes, President, it seems that we are going to use the backup plan we set up earlier and choose another farm."
The manager of Jade Emperor Animal Husbandry said to Zhang Zhonghua.
"Well, since you're going to build a big farm in Latin America. Then other plans will also have to make certain changes, and if you want to enter it, you will enter it completely, and CFC restaurants, Carrefour, and convenience stores will also enter the market in North and South America in advance.
What is the plan of the catering company, and which country are you going to enter first?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked.
"Boss, we plan to enter the Mexican market this year, expanding from Mexico to both sides and north and south.
Now that most of the national football teams are in Mexico and the World Cup is about to start, we can use this opportunity to advertise and show our face in front of the world first, and then it will be much easier to enter the Americas."
Listening to Zheng Juan's words, Zhang Zhonghua fell into thinking, in his opinion, Latin America is a few poor ghosts, and Brazil, Peru, and Chile are slightly richer, and it is estimated that there will be 1,000 or hundreds of CFC restaurants.
As for the ugly country? Their territory is too vast, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the transportation cost is relatively high, not to mention that the oil will soar in a few years, and the transportation cost will be further increased......
"Then let's build a farm in Brazil first, supply Europe and South America, and build a U.S. country in Texas, which borders Mexico, to supply Europe first, and then when the CFC enters the U.S. country, you can supply the U.S. country."
Zhang Zhonghua remembered that although Brazil had also experienced turmoil, it did not have much impact on the lives of ordinary people, so he chose Brazil as a farm.
"Good boss, Brazil has a good climate, it can be said that it is very suitable for opening a farm, and Texas on the other side of the ugly country is also a continent of agriculture and animal husbandry in the ugly country.
Land in Brazil is very cheap to buy, and labor costs are relatively low, but land in Texas is relatively expensive, and we have to pay property taxes every year, so we may have to rent it for the time being."
"The boss chose these two places well, but the most suitable area to build a farm should be Australia, but unfortunately the population there is too small.
Not only is the population small, but the population is concentrated, basically living close to the Pacific coast, and almost uninhabited near the Indian Ocean, so if you want to build a farm close to the mainland, you need to build a lot of supporting facilities."
"Just do what you think, the land in Texas is leased first, and the farms can be one step ahead, and there are about 200 stores in Mexico, where there are poor jingles, and there is really no oil and water to be made."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
"Understand, according to the original plan, after the mission in Mexico is completed, we will go south and north at the same time.
South America is also richer in Peru, Chile and Brazil, with Peru and Chile rich in copper and iron ore, and Brazil rich in iron ore;
We plan to enter the California region in the west first, then enter the developed region in the east and go to the New York and Washington areas, and then develop east and west to the central part to finally complete the victory division, but this development time may be relatively long."
Zheng Juan introduced.
"Don't be afraid of a long time, the ugly country is the base camp of selling knife labor, we need to fight with it with bayonets, don't worry, steady and steady, our CFC will also start to enter the base camp of selling knife labor to compete directly, and we must do a good job in localized improvement. However, before this, we still vigorously recruited talents, and there is no need to worry if the territory of the ugly country is too large."
Zhang Zhonghua thought for a while,
Then commanded.
"Boss, what about the decoration of the store?"
Zheng Juan asked with a smile, the development of CFC is inseparable from the construction team, and now its construction team is basically in Europe.
Zheng Juan's words reminded Zhang Zhonghua of the efficiency of workers in the ugly country.
In this regard, Zhang Zhonghua was also very helpless, and in the end he still had to be self-sufficient, and most of the work of the old blacks was too unreliable.
And the white people of the ugly country will not be engaged in the decoration industry at all, and they still have to recruit a group of decoration workers.
"Recruit workers in various hot summer settlements in the ugly country, how many count, anyway, there is no need to worry in the ugly country, there are not enough hot summer workers, you can properly recruit Hispanics, or Asian workers from other countries, how can they be more diligent than the old black."
Zhang Zhonghua said to Zheng Juan with helplessness and pain.
"Okay, boss."
After the two left, Zhang Zhonghua also breathed a sigh of relief, the originally good development situation, because of the European policy, the development plan of CFC restaurant in Europe has also been completely disrupted.
