As early as 1982, there was an opportunity to acquire KFC at that time, in the 70s, although KFC developed OK, but the parent company behind it was affected by the oil crisis and financial crisis, and suffered serious losses, so it could only withdraw KFC's funds, which led to KFC even if it wanted to develop, it was also difficult, and finally had to use large-scale franchises, as a result, because the quality of franchisees was always problematic, affecting the reputation of KFC. McDonald's, which is also a Western-style fast food chain, spends 8 times more money a year on expansion than KFC, and its own scale is larger, KFC has no advantage at all.

By 1982, the parent company behind KFC couldn't bear it, and finally packaged all its own business and sold it to a company called Huber Lane.

Costco's general manager, Pierce, also knew the CEO of KFC at that time, so he asked Chen Zhiwen if he needed to consider acquiring the company, because once before, Chen Zhiwen had expressed his interest in KFC in front of Pierce.

It's just that in 82 years, when Disney and Hongkong Land had not been acquired, AMC in the automotive industry was also burning money, and KFC, although the interests in the future are also very high, are not in a hurry, because other companies that need to be acquired have a point in time, and if they miss it, they will be gone, and KFC will not matter, so there is no need to waste their funds so early.

And this Huber Lane is actually a company specializing in the alcohol business, and the acquisition of KFC is completely inexplicable, and the follow-up operation is naturally not good.

By 1987, KFC will be sold to Pepsi, in this way, the next two years will be their own window, otherwise if they are really acquired by Pepsi, with their scale, even if they are not as good as Chen Zhiwen, but Chen Zhiwen will not be able to forcibly acquire other people's subsidiaries without lack of funds.

"That's when you go to the Olympics?" Liu Xiaoli asked.

"Yes, the Olympics are relatively long, and I will only watch some sports that I am interested in, and forget about the rest of the time, but if you want to see it, you can watch it all the way." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said. Even if you love sports, it is impossible to like all sports, relatively speaking, Chen Zhiwen also likes basketball, football, and some other sports, if there are powerful Chinese people involved, then you can also take a look.

"I love gymnastics." Liu Xiaoli said.

"Okay, I'll accompany you to see it then." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, gymnastics is indeed the strength of the Chinese, especially in this Olympic Games, the prince of gymnastics Li Ning can be said to be a sensation all over the world, and this will also be one of the pinnacles of the mainland business community in the future, not to mention business interests, from a personal point of view, Chen Zhiwen also wants to see him.

"Okay." Liu Xiaoli said happily: "Then that KFC, is it better than this?" ”

In order to maintain her figure, after arriving in Hong Kong, she had to resist the temptation of a lot of food, which was a bit too difficult, and then asked Chen Zhiwen to arrange a dietitian for her to know that if you want to maintain your figure, or lose weight, you have to know some general knowledge, such as why people get fat or thin, the most basic logic is that the absorption of food calories and the consumption of the formation of a gap.

As long as you know the approximate daily energy expenditure of a person and the calories of daily food, you will know it in your heart. And what she knows, in meat food, chicken is better, plus the taste is good, she likes it, but when it comes to fried chicken, you also need to consider the calorie problem of oil, but it can also be controlled.

"It should be better than this, but no matter which one you eat, you can't eat more, and the food we eat at home every day is the best." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.

"Oh." Liu Xiaoli nodded and said.

After a while, everyone finished eating the fried chicken nuggets, but because the weather was also a little hot, after eating the spicy chicken nuggets, everyone bought another bottle of water, which made the fried chicken stall owner make a small profit.

When they were almost done, they returned to the place where they had set out, and then they went home, and only came here to see, and only in the 86th year of the scheduled completion of the project, then there was nothing new to see.

In the original history, Yanjing International Trade Center signed a contract at the end of 84, started construction in 85, and was not completed until 90, but that was because the original investment owner Guo Henian, the capital was limited, although he took out the funds, but also to balance his business, therefore, the speed of construction is not fast, and now Chen Zhiwen invested, he doesn't care about the financial problem, just build it quickly, the money is in place, and the entire construction site stops the machine 24 hours a day.

You know, in Shenhai City, there has been a miracle of three days and one floor, although that is also to "create a miracle", many things have been prepared, but this is enough to show that the domestic speed is not a problem at all, of course, the floor, area size, and specifications of Yanjing International Trade Center are much stronger than ordinary office buildings in Shenhai City, and they are also designed by Mr. Pei Jinming.

The construction plan and speed are also recognized by Mr. Pei Jinming and some domestic construction experts, 3 years, including the early foundation, building construction and decoration, and there will be a foreign testing company to test in the future.

Both Chen Zhiwen and the mainland side also hope that these buildings can be completed as soon as possible, the former is hoping to collect rent as soon as possible, and at the same time start the second phase of construction, and the latter is hoping that after the early completion can be used to receive guests of major economic cooperation with foreign parties, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

The day after returning to the hotel, Lei Shengli came and brought some information about the first electronics factory in Yanjing City.

"Ready for the future so quickly?" Chen Zhiwen saw the title of the first page and said with a smile.

In fact, a factory with current sales of only tens of millions of yuan, under normal circumstances, Chen Zhiwen is too lazy to ask, even if Yanjing City comes forward, he will give face to the government, invest some money or give some orders, it is just a matter of one sentence, there is no need to spend time on this, just let his subordinates go.

However, this is the future BOE, and the future BOE team is also within it, which makes Chen Zhiwen pay attention to it, you know, Chen Zhiwen's prophetic golden finger can be very effective for some creative goods, such as games, software, and even the first-mover advantage of Red Bull, once these are successful, it is difficult for others to catch up.

Products with high technical content will not work, such as chips, LCDs, these things, even if Chen Zhiwen finds the direction, it is useless, it is difficult for you to make it, these require a very rich technical foundation, of course, you can also try it at a little cost, such as the chip and LCD factory in Hong Kong now, it may be one thing to do, and it is another thing to want to surpass others or maintain an advantage for a long time, because the existence of Moore's law determines that this line is very volume, not only the volume of funds, but also the volume of technical heritage, Located in Hong Kong, it is impossible for the United States to roll through Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, therefore, the chip LCD industry built a few years ago, although the equipment has also been updated in the middle, but it still can't keep up with the rhythm, fortunately, it is only for the home appliance industry to supply, but it is not a problem.

Of course, the purchase of chips and liquid crystals from overseas is also due to the need to maintain certain trade factors, otherwise it will never last long to only make money from others and not to others.

Since he is not capable of doing it, he will invest in people who have the ability to do it, he has invested in TSMC in the field of chips, and the liquid crystal is naturally the best object of BOE, but Chen Zhiwen does not know who the veterans of BOE were at the beginning, but there is a high probability that it is already inside the Yanjing First Electronics Factory.

"You speak in person, do they dare to be unhappy? It is estimated that the big leaders of Yanjing City have to rush to urge. Lei Shengli said with a smile, don't talk about Chen Zhiwen, that is, if he wants to invest in a company, the local government will probably have to pay great attention to it, and the current scale of the United States is that many overseas countries have to look up to.

"Have you read the contents?" Chen Zhiwen asked after turning the first page.

"Yes." Lei Shengli nodded and said: "The idea of the First Electronics Factory is to continue to develop the previously failed project after obtaining sufficient funds, that is, the signal transmitter of color TV, and they also believe that the future color TV must be a very large market." Lei Shengli said.

"Signal transmitters? Can this thing be made by RCA before? Chen Zhiwen asked, RCA, once the largest TV seller and manufacturer in the United States, later declined, but the heritage is still there, and the technical reserves in all aspects are still relatively substantial.

"Yes, we built the factory in Wanwan by ourselves, and this time we are going to build a large-scale factory in China, which also includes this." Lei Shengli said that the boss can not be clear, but he can't, after the acquisition of RCA, he spent a lot of energy to understand, and later He Guoyuan took over the home appliance business of the United States, and often communicated with him about these issues.

"Well, that's not enough for us." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

"It's not a problem if you give them a little order, but in terms of quality, it needs to be strictly controlled." Lei Shengli said again, of course he could see that the boss wanted to invest in this company and save it, although he didn't know why, but it didn't prevent him from saying it in passing.

"Not for the time being, the direction of this plan is good, but you can't just look at the direction, I also said that aviation can make money, but if you can't do it, it's for nothing." Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said: "Arrange professional people to strictly audit once to see how their technology is, and also look at the management, if there is a possibility of rectification, then Midea will come forward and invest a sum of money to save the company first."

As for this signal transmitter, if it is really developed, let them supply it to other local brands in China first, and if there is no problem, then supply us. ”

History has changed, expecting the first electronics factory as in history, to survive until the 90s and then appear savior, the establishment of BOE, and then he to invest, it seems a little difficult, after all, the entire 80s, is the beginning of his large-scale layout in the mainland, the impact on the entire electronics industry is too great.

If the future BOE veterans are really capable, it is very likely to seize the opportunity of the United States to enter the country, and leave, then they don't know where to find these people, then, the easiest way at present, is to stabilize Yanjing No. 1 Electronics Factory first, neither let it die, nor live too well, theoretically speaking, in the 80s, there are still relatively few people who dare to leave stable state-owned enterprises, even if the BOE veterans are among them in the future, the impact is not great.

As for how to let these people take the position in the future, it can only be through the high requirements of the first electronics factory, forcing capable people to play their potential, as long as the ability comes up, Chen Zhiwen sent more people to pay attention to it, and it should be able to find out.

Of course, this kind of thing can't be said to be 100% successful, and even the probability is not necessarily, it can only be said that it was tried, anyway, the investment is not big, even if it loses everything, the current location of the first electronics factory and the land below the factory will not be lost.
