Chapter 441 Mutual Cooperation with China Resources
Yang Wendong added: "In addition, we must also pay attention to food hygiene. We are going to be a global chain store, and we must have a complete rule in this regard;
There are also some in the United States. You can learn more from them. All kinds of sanitary products and oils need to be replaced at a reasonable time, and then they need to be implemented in place. Don’t be afraid of high costs. When KFC becomes bigger in the future You can ask Watsons to build a small refinery for you.”
“Yang Sheng can rest assured that in a chain service industry like ours, there are strict hygiene requirements. "Tian Shengyi replied.
Yang Wendong said: "Okay, then it depends on your own internal operations. If the operation is good, I will give all your employees enough bonus income, plus opportunities for overseas expansion.
In addition, we must gradually develop food with different flavors. Don’t just learn from the United States or slightly modify it. We must pay attention to localization. ”
For the development of enterprises, Yang Wendong, the boss, can actually not help much. He can only give directions in the early stages and provide financial support after they are operational.
< br>Correct strategic direction and high-quality management methods are two basic elements for the development and growth of an enterprise.
I have done everything I can do now, but it depends on professional managers later. In the future, I only need him as the boss to understand the situation every few months, or occasionally visit the store. Anyway, they are all in Hong Kong. If I go out occasionally, I can see it
< br>"Yes. "Tian Shengyi agreed.
After KFC's first store was successful, all it had to do was continue to expand. However, there were actually many operational challenges. Historically, KFC and McDonald's in the 1970s had serious acclimatization problems after entering Hong Kong.
At the moment, Yang Wendong is also trying to adopt the operation methods and tastes of the previous KFC in the mainland, but it is hard to say whether it will succeed. After all, Hong Kong and the mainland are still different, and the times are different now.
However, the taste is also gradually researched and tested. As long as you are willing to keep trying, after spending a certain amount of time and money, there will always be a suitable one. As long as you are not like some international companies, the taste of another country is Just copy it and enter other countries with management.
......
The time soon came to May, and the second KFC also opened. It was much less popular, but many people went to try it, and Yang Wendong also paid attention to it. Over time, various delicacies have been gradually developed to test the market. From the portion sizes left by customers and the repeat purchase probability of old customers, we can judge whether a certain food is liked or not, so we can continue to update it. .
On the other hand, ham sausage, another main business launched this year, is also gradually rising.
On May 16, Zhou Haoran came to Yang Wendong's office with a document and said: "Yang Sheng, this is the number of orders for ham sausages from Japan and Wanwan in the past month. From the quantity Judging from the above, it is almost five times our current production capacity, and we are only entering the Kyoto area of Japan."
"The most important thing now is to expand production capacity," Yang Wendong said. : "If production capacity is insufficient, market expansion will also be suspended."
In fact, Changxing Industrial has experienced this kind of thing several times in the past few years, and the entire Changxing Group is used to it.
Yang Wendong can probably guess that the supply of ham sausage may exceed demand, so he asked his subordinates to prepare more production capacity in the early stage. However, this production capacity is always limited, and it is impossible to expand the production capacity from the beginning, even if it is money. We can buy more equipment, but not enough personnel;
"Yes, I have also asked Dongsheng to fully cooperate with us in producing corresponding equipment." Zhou Haoran continued: "And some simple equipment are also produced by equipment manufacturers other than Dongsheng."
"Technical personnel, quality inspectors, and various testing equipment must also be improved to prevent quality problems." Yang Wendong reminded again.
Ham sausage is food. It is better to have insufficient production capacity than to have quality problems, otherwise it will have more serious consequences than sticky notes.
“Understood.” Zhou Haoran said again: “Yang Sheng, one more thing. I have negotiated with people from China Resources about the meat supply. They said that we can build a corresponding livestock farm in Baoan County. The pig farm will supply our needs.”
“That’s okay.” Yang Wendong said: “We also have a high demand for ham meat. China Resources will build a large pig farm in Bao’an County. It’s appropriate.”
In the previous life, Shuanghui, the largest ham sausage company in China, had to slaughter more than 10 million pigs a year, which still required imports from outside. This shows that ham sausage companies have huge demand for meat and grain.
It’s just that the difficulty of building a large-scale pig farm in Hong Kong is too high. It is still very different from the difficulty of raising chickens. Therefore, in the short term, it can only be purchased from outside, but if the supply and demand are too large, it cannot The best way to buy directly is to negotiate with large suppliers and build a dedicated production base. Otherwise, if the demand for pork in a small city like Hong Kong skyrockets, it will only hurt the economy.
Zhou Haoran said: "The problem is that China Resources doesn't have that much money, so it wants to borrow money from us, or we provide them with guarantees from Hong Kong banks."
"China Resources has no money? No As for that?" Yang Wendong asked curiously. China Resources in this era is indeed not as large as in the 1980s, but it also controls nearly half of the food or small industrial products trade in Hong Kong. China Resources is even responsible for some basic raw materials for many Hong Kong factories.
Perhaps its scale is not as large as that of giants such as Changxing Group and Jardine Swire, but it is definitely at the top of the second tier. It is a bit ridiculous that it cannot even build a pig farm. Although the demand may be large in the future, for now It won't be too big.
Zhou Haoran replied: "It is said that because the current domestic economy is too difficult, all China Resources' funds have been taken away."
"The domestic economy is in difficulty?" Yang Wendong asked again: " Is there any more specific news?”
“I don’t know the specific news, but one thing is related to Huo Yingdong and Huo Sheng.” Zhou Haoran said: “Hong Kong housing prices have dropped sharply recently. It's more powerful, but the prices of many building materials exported from China have increased significantly. This is not in line with normal logic. It is said that the price has to be increased because of the poor domestic economy.
Huo Sheng also went to Yanjing City and followed him. Export-related leaders met and told them that doing so would be a waste of time. However, feedback from the mainland was that there was no other option and prices must be raised, and the country could no longer care about the future. ”
"So that's it." Yang Wendong thought for a while and said, "Okay, how much money does China Resources need? We can lend them a loan from Hang Seng Bank and guarantee that I will sign. This project itself will definitely make money as long as there are no problems. ”
Outsiders really don’t know the economic situation of the mainland, but it can be seen from some external operations; you know, the top management of the mainland can be said to be the smartest layout masters in the world. The operation of many things may take many years. Only later was it understood;
But now it has to increase the export price of goods to Hong Kong, which must mean that there is a serious problem in the economy and foreign exchange is needed.
In this case, there is nothing wrong with helping China Resources. Anyway, for myself, it can also make up for the important link of lack of pork supply, and since I am a customer, the risk is very low.
“Okay.” Zhou Haoran added: “In addition, China Resources also said that the food supply for pig farms also needs to be imported from overseas, and grain from the mainland cannot be used, so in this regard, we also hope that Get our help in the early stage, and after the farm has been operating for a period of time, you can purchase the food yourself.”
"Also, you can just buy it directly from our Changxing Trading." Yang Wendong also agreed.
Currently, the country is definitely very nervous about food. Although it can be used to feed pigs and turn into meat, it can also be exported to earn foreign exchange, but in many cases, it is impossible to mobilize materials because of all the operations. We all have a plan, but if we purchase goods from Hong Kong, it will be much easier.
Zhou Haoran said: "Then there is no problem. I will discuss the scale of the first phase with China Resources."
"Yes, okay." Yang Wendong said: "Actually, even if It doesn’t matter if the scale is larger. There is a large-scale breeding farm in Bao’an County, and it will be much more convenient to supply Hong Kong.”
As early as 1962, the mainland opened three express trains to Hong Kong, just to pass the train. A large amount of food supplies such as vegetables, live poultry, meat, etc. are transported from Shanghai, Hankou and other cities;
The reason why we chose a city thousands of miles away is that except for Guangdong City, there are no complete production bases close to Hong Kong and cannot meet Hong Kong's increasing demand.
Now that Hong Kong capital can be used to build large-scale breeding farms close to Hong Kong, it is also a good thing for the mainland. It can earn more foreign exchange and prices here in Hong Kong will also drop a little.
Zhou Haoran also agreed and said: "Yes, Bao'an County, as far as I know, is also very poor. Having such a breeding farm is a good thing for the local area. Even in terms of the environment, it may be a bit Impact."
"Wrong." Yang Wendong shook his head and said: "There is pollution in breeding farms in Hong Kong or some places, because of animal feces. There are too many things, but in the mainland, these things are all good things. They are excellent materials for farmland fertilization and so on. They can even be dried and used to make fires."
Yang Wendong, who was born in the countryside in the 1980s , I still remember when I was a child, there were people who collected these things, and some families even regarded them as treasures. This is also the difference between agricultural countries and industrial countries.
"Oh, yes, I thought it was too simple." After Zhou Haoran came back to his senses, he said happily: "In other words, the more pork we purchase, the farmers near the farm will be able to grow more food. ?”
“Yes, so we have to work harder in the future.” Yang Wendong said: “The better we sell ham, the more benefits we can bring to ordinary people in the country.”
