Hong Kong Island's wealthy era

Chapter 47 Seven Heavens and Qingni

After Lei Liquan came out of the laboratory, he communicated with Huo Haiqing again.

Lei Liquan asked Huo Haiqing: "Are you ready for arcade production?"

Huo Haiqing replied: "We still plan to adopt the production model of doll machines and prepare to purchase accessories from outside. Our factory is only responsible for the final assembly."

"We master the key technologies ourselves and leave the rest to others to produce. We will follow the path of technology, industry and trade." Lei Liquan nodded.

In fact, if there weren't too many copycat factories now, all of them could be manufactured by outside factories.Nowadays, programming and complete machine assembly are done by oneself, but there are also "copycat" products, which will definitely have to be launched again.

Lei Liquan once again explained that before the production of game consoles, the cube game patent must be registered.

……

Sea and Land Building.

Outside one of the offices, "Seven Days Company" was quietly hung, which was the name of Lei Liquan's new retail company.

For the newly established Seven Days Company, Lei Liquan hired a number of management talents from Wellcome Supermarket, Xianshi Department Store, Yong'an Department Store and other companies through headhunting to form a small retail company team.

Although these people are not senior management talents, they have been practitioners in this industry for many years. With the existence of Lei Liquan as a 'prophet', at least it will be enough for the initial stage.

4 month 1 day.

Lei Liquan summoned three management members and five reserve store managers of Qitian Company to the conference room for a meeting.

Lei Liquan said: "Today, our Seven Days Company is officially established!" After speaking, he took the lead in applauding.

The small team of eight also applauded. Boss Lei was so interesting. He was afraid of not giving him face and would not applaud, so he applauded first. Everyone's face couldn't help but smile like a flower.

In addition to the temptation of high salary, another reason why they are willing to change jobs is the attraction of Lei Liquan's personality.

When everyone heard that the boss was Lei Liquan, everyone thought it was an opportunity for them.

As expected, when I arrived at the new company, not only could I be entrusted with important responsibilities, but my salary was also increased by [-]%. Why not do it while working part-time?

Lei Liquan said: "You only know that Qitian Company is planning to do retail business, but do you know what kind of retail business Qitian Company wants to be? And where should we start from?"

After all, everyone is just starting to interact with each other, and everyone is more cautious, but the boss asks questions and has to speak. This is the time to reflect value. If you miss it, you will miss it forever.

Everyone began to think. Dai Yongqiang from Yong'an Department Store first said: "Leisheng, I think we should start with shopping malls. We should acquire department stores, so that we are at least within a familiar and mature range."

Lei Liquan did not express his position and signaled everyone to continue speaking.

Wang Haisheng from Wellcome Supermarket said: "Leisheng, we should open department stores and supermarkets. These have successful experiences that can be summarized."

Everyone spoke freely and expressed their opinions.It’s just that no one talks about convenience stores.After all, at this time, the convenience store chain model was only born in the beautiful country a few years ago. It is currently the only one in Asia. It is normal that you may not have been exposed to this model yet.

亚洲首家便利店是1974年RB伊藤洋华堂公司引进的7-11便利店；7-11便利店是RB的叫法，美国叫做7-Eleven，这个品牌属于美国南方公司。

Lei Liquan said with a smile: "Supermarkets still have certain difficulties for us. For example, the supply chain is a big problem. The competition in department stores is too fierce. Now I will not go into this muddy water. So, we A new way of retailing must be created!”

Everyone is surprised, a new way of retailing!
"In RB, there is a convenience store called '7-11', which is the new retail direction we are preparing."

"One of the characteristics of this kind of convenience store is that it is open 24 hours a day, with self-pickup and unified settlement like a supermarket."

"Convenience stores are actually like the grocery stores around us. They occupy a small area and require small investments. However, we must do some expansion and some reduction." "In each store, the products do not have to be uniform, but according to the requirements. Determined based on the surrounding needs, it should be 'convenient' and 'quick'. You can have lunch boxes, breakfast, etc."

"But service standards must be unified, and stores must be opened quickly, opening all over Hong Kong Island and Kowloon in a short time, forming a chain model and achieving economies of scale."

There were expressions of surprise on everyone's faces, as if a new world of retail had opened up.

After everyone was surprised, they still found many problems.

Wang Haisheng asked: "Leisheng, how can we solve the supply problem of steamed buns, lunch boxes and the like?"

Lei Liquan felt very pleased that these people were still very capable of thinking and could find problems quickly.

"For this problem, we should build a kitchen for unified cooking. I first asked it to be a central kitchen for centralized distribution. Similarly, we also need to establish a centralized warehouse for the products of each store and distribute them uniformly."

Everyone nodded, it was true!

Lei Liquan said again: "Of course, there are too many problems and too many detours in creating such a convenience store brand from scratch. I need to constantly sum up experience. So the first thing we do is go to RB Study and study to see how others do it. Tomorrow all of you will fly to RB for a period of study and study. After that, everyone will hand in a copy of their learning experience."

After some arrangements, Lei Liquan once again became the hands-off shopkeeper.

Lei Liquan did not want to become a world-class retail giant. He just wanted to run Xiangjiang well, and then look north to China to get a share of the retail industry in the future.

……

In February at the beginning of this year, Lei Liquan promised Li Chaoren to acquire Qingzhou Yingni through an associated company. Now that it is April, this business cannot continue to be delayed.

This is actually a temporary cooperation plan reached by Lei Liquan and Li Chaoren when he acquired the Hilton Hotel in February this year.

Lei Liquan's original intention was just to persuade Li Chaoren to buy the Bali Hilton Hotel to relieve him of financial pressure.His original plan was to acquire Qingzhou Yingni alone.

But Li Chaoren also took a fancy to Qingzhou Yingni, so he proposed such an interest exchange plan.

Li Chaoren took the initiative and proposed that the two parties use the Lei-Li Joint Venture established when acquiring the Hilton Hotel to acquire Qingni through the Lei-Li Joint Venture. After the transaction is completed, both parties will share equally the shares and interests.

Lei Liquan felt that this proposal would not cost him anything, but would benefit him a lot, so he readily agreed at that time.

In early March, the two parties formulated a specific plan to first let the joint venture operate on the stock market to suppress Qingni's stock price for two to three months, and then implement specific acquisitions.

Since February, the two parties have jointly promoted the stock price very smoothly, but subsequent acquisitions have not been carried out.

And both parties have successfully increased their shareholdings to about [-]%.

Lei Liquan decided to take the initiative to call Li Chaoren and ask him to have morning tea with him tomorrow morning.

When mentioning Qingzhou Yingni, Lei Liquan thought of another British-owned enterprise, Wharf.

In his previous life, it was at the end of 1977 that Li Chaoren provoked a battle for Wharf.If Li Chaoren still follows the life trajectory of his previous life, what if he already has thoughts about Wharf in his mind?

But Lei Liquan remembered that Li Chaoren absorbed 2% of Wharf's shares from the market in two months.If this statement is correct, it means that Li Chaoren has not at least started taking action yet.

At present, each share of Wharf is only 12.5 Hong Kong dollars. The total share capital of Wharf is 9487 million shares, and the total market value is 11.8 billion Hong Kong dollars.Seriously underestimated.
