In the back garden of the villa, under a parasol, Zhu Xuefeng and Mr. Jin were talking with a third-party investor. It would be more appropriate to say that it was a conversation, but it would be more appropriate to say that Zhu Xuefeng assigned a task. Mr. Jin looked at the third partner with a complicated mood. , this old white man is by no means simple, but he obeys Zhu Xuefeng’s arrangements, which is interesting.
“Okay, that’s all that needs to be said. Now everyone is splitting up and acting according to the plan. The next step is to get the funds in place. Mr. Webster, yours should be fine.”
“ Dear Mr. Zhu, my funds are already in place and can be received at any time.”
The old man seemed to have some incomprehensible respect for Zhu Xuefeng, which Mr. Jin really couldn’t understand.
"Okay, our funds should begin to arrive the day after tomorrow. Mr. Jin, the rest is your funds. Do you have any questions?"
According to the shareholding, Mr. Jin was responsible for investing 400,000 yuan, accounting for 5% of the shares. This was a large sum of money and put a lot of pressure on him. But since he recognized Zhu Xuefeng's plan, he naturally spared no effort to run around. , now we basically have the spectrum, but we still have to collect it.
Seeing that the third party's one million was ready, Mr. Jin felt a sense of urgency, but he still seemed very relaxed.
"No problem, I have contacted the funds, and they will definitely arrive in one week, one week."
It seems that Mr. Jin is still very capable, and the current 400,000 yuan is not It's a small amount, and it shouldn't be possible to collect it just by relying on Chinatown. This can be regarded as a small test of his ability.
Seeing Mr. Jin agree, Zhu Xuefeng also smiled, "Then we will cooperate happily. When the funds are ready, Mr. Jin, I will ask you to go through the procedures."
"Yes, leave this matter to me." Since Mr. Jin will be in charge of the supermarket chain in the future, he will naturally do his part in this matter.
"By the way, this Mr. Webster has another identity and should be able to provide you with a lot of help. Mr. Jin, you may not know. I forgot to introduce you just now. Mr. Webster is Former Atlantic Rear Admiral, I believe you will be much more relaxed with his help."
"Rear Admiral?" Mr. Jin was a little confused. It's incredible. If this is a Rear Admiral, then this is the one. For the city's top boss, the business of the chain store must be smooth sailing.
"Boss Zhu, let's do this. I will go back now to secure the funds as soon as possible and try to get the funds into the account within five days, yes, within five days." The status of rear admiral put a lot of pressure on Mr. Jin. After returning to the calm and calm appearance just now, Mr. Jin quickly expressed his position.
Seeing that Mr. Jin is so eager, Zhu Xuefeng naturally will not stop him, but just reminds him, "You have to come over the day after tomorrow. We still have to discuss the logistics supply of supermarket chains in North America. Can you Absent.”
"No problem, it will be on time." Mr. Jin knew that Jiang Fangzhou and his party came here just for this matter. In the future, the supermarket chain will appear to be independent of Dongsheng Trading Company, but the two parties will have a close cooperative relationship, with supply and overseas supply. All logistics depends on Dongsheng Trading Company.
Sent Mr. Jin off, Mr. Webster whispered, "Master, as you wish, the security company has been established, and six captains are already in place. There are currently 264 security personnel and 36 A general will join after he retires in the near future. "
According to Zhu Xuefeng's request, Mr. Webster established the "Black Forest" security company after being forced to retire early and recruited heavily among his former subordinates.
"Okay, these six are absolutely reliable. They will be your right-hand assistants from now on. Work hard. We can continue to recruit people. It is August and early September. We must ensure that two brigades can get to me. The designated area is on standby.”
“Yes, my master, do you have time to go to the company to give these children a lesson?”
Faced with Mr. Webster's request, Zhu Xuefeng hesitated. He originally planned to meet with several captains in private, but now Webster asked him to meet with other team members. Although these people are fine, is it appropriate for him to appear in the security company? .
"No need for the time being, just find time to gather the six captains and we will meet together. I will not contact the other people."
Including the old man in front of him, Zhu Xuefeng only screened Seven people were selected to minimize the possibility of news spreading. Space can guarantee people's loyalty, but it cannot guarantee that there will be no inadvertent leaks. These seven people are determined and mentally strong, and they were found after a special screening.
"Following your wishes, dear master, we plan to reach a scale of two thousand people by the end of next year."
"Well, that's good. We need to speed up business expansion and achieve profitability as soon as possible. Are there any problems with funds now? ”
The current security company was founded in the name of Mr. Webster and several naval officers by Wu Qianqian secretly investing half a million dollars. The funds were not rich, but the key was that the weapons cost too much.
"Master, you don't have to worry about funds. I have some savings for emergencies, and I can also get a loan from the bank. I have good resources in this regard, please believe me,"
"Okay , Come on, my old Webster.”
Since Webster does not need to add funds by himself, Zhu Xuefeng is happy and relaxed. This man used to hold a high position and has a lot of resources, especially in the East. In many cities on the coast, this is really not a problem for him.
Mr. Webster has left. He was not sent to a military court because he had to continue to keep it secret. Finally, after various reviews, he was forced to retire early on the pretext of his health.
All the other soldiers of the Eagle aircraft carrier group who had been reviewed, without exception, signed confidentiality agreements and were passively retired. General Webster, who retired, was dissatisfied with the military's placement of his subordinates. It was reasonable to gather everyone together and open a security company. .
There may be some upper-level congressmen who sympathize with Old Webster's experience. Anyway, it was only a few decades later that the security company was established in this way, and many government agencies have already expressed their intention to cooperate.
In the future, we will develop the security business of related companies, government agencies, and overseas institutions. In these aspects, Mr. Webster’s experience has unparalleled advantages. He is the first security company in North America and has officially registered. No one knows how big an organization this will be in a few decades.
In the afternoon, the two leaders from North America rushed to the villa and had a long secret chat with Zhu Xuefeng in the room, while Yang Zhen and her sister Yang Lei were whispering in the backyard.
"Sister, how are you? Did you tell me?"
Yang Lei's face was filled with happiness and her face was slightly red.
"It seems he agreed, right? How does he treat you?"
Yang Lei looked at her anxious sister and shook her head gently. Yang Zhen couldn't believe it. .
"Sister, you are so beautiful and you can still help him, but he doesn't agree? He doesn't like you?"
"Well, he said: If your sister is not bad, I would like it. Her cheerful and lively temperament..."
Yang Zhen was stunned, and it took him a while to realize that he had been tricked by his sister. He waved his fist and was about to get up. Yang Lei pointed to Zhu Xuefeng's room and quickly signaled. Yang Zhen sat down angrily and lowered his voice. .
"Sister, don't you have one?"
"What the other?"
"It's just to serve as a bedchamber. Didn't Grandpa say that after joining the Zhu family, Even if the Zhu family wants to sleep with him," Yang Lei shook her head, "No, he respects me very much..."
"Then, then, it's gone?"
"He said that tomorrow, Miss Wu will come over tomorrow, and there will be a small meeting for me to participate."
Yang Zhen's eyes widened with surprise on his face, "What a coincidence?"
"His Royal Highness said that he wanted to adjust the business model in North America. This was planned long ago. You also know this."< br>
“I didn’t say Miss Wu was coming. I thought it was the two principals from North America who were coming.”
Not to mention the two sisters whispering here, the three people in the room were also communicating.
“Boss, Miss Wu’s flight will arrive tomorrow morning.”
“Well, you can arrange to pick her up then, and I won’t go there.”
“Okay. ."
Zhu Xuefeng took a sip of tea and said, "Can you tell us about the investigation of North American supermarket chains?"
Jiang Fangzhou looked at the woman beside him. This was his deputy, Deputy General Manager Zhang Meng. Zhang Meng slightly nodded to Jiang Fangzhou.
"Boss, let me introduce you."
This twenty-seven-year-old came to North America after being selected from Fuso. She is an excellent female professional manager and decent. Professional attire, simple makeup, capable yet elegant, with a unique temperament and taste. Her smile was warm and confident. Zhu Xuefeng was very fond of her when he first met her. She was indeed someone Wu Qianqian admired.
"Okay, please introduce Ms. Zhang."
"Boss, according to your request, we have conducted a survey on well-known brand supermarket chains in major cities in North America. Now the most famous and The largest one is the "mass market", and there are four brands with certain regional advantages."
Zhang Meng reported the investigation results in detail. In fact, Mr. Jin also had an investigation report, but it was far less detailed than that of Dongsheng Trading Company.
Now there are supermarkets in all major and medium-sized cities. Although there are not many large-scale chains, according to Zhang Meng's investigation, many small ones are also seeking alliances and collaborations, and those that have become chains are also actively planning to expand. .
In general, supermarket chains in North America have a trend of rapid expansion. Now is the best time to enter. If you miss it, it will be even more difficult to break in when other brands completely occupy the market. .
The few that are famous in later generations are only small-scale and pose little threat. However, the first supermarket chain has been established for more than 30 years, and its scale has reached eleven stores. The items it operates include daily necessities. Department stores, food and medicine, clothing, shoes, bags, and home appliances have established their leading positions in the industry.
The only good news is that large-scale cross-regional supermarket chains have not yet appeared, and the largest ones have only developed to two states. Regional small supermarkets are still the mainstay in various places, and chain brands have not yet demonstrated centralized purchasing. , huge advantages in unified logistics.
"Boss, we believe that after experiencing rapid development, chain supermarkets will surely become the dominant force in the retail market. Their open sales model, centralized product display and efficient shopping experience have made supermarkets a popular shopping destination for consumers. "
"Well, that's good. It seems that you did your homework in detail, thank you."
Zhu Xuefeng's thanks made Zhang Meng a little overwhelmed, "That's right. boss".
"A good job deserves praise, Ms. Zhang. Your investigation report has given me some inspiration and also brought some sense of urgency."
Both Jiang Fangzhou and Zhang Meng can understand His own boss has a sense of urgency. If other brands also choose to expand, and if they want to open their own supermarket, the pressure will naturally be greater.
"Now the company has decided to get involved in the supermarket chain industry. My decision is that the North American Trading Branch of Dongsheng Company will take on the overseas procurement business of the supermarket chain here and conduct business docking with the supermarket chain. This burden is very heavy. You two Who is willing to take over?"
"But boss, I missed something just now." Zhang Meng quickly expressed his position, and Zhu Xuefeng motioned for her to continue.
“Boss, according to our understanding, federal law is very strict on the operation and management of supermarket chains and does not allow wholly foreign-owned enterprises to operate. You have to consider this issue.”
“Well, I’d like to remind you. Okay, we also understand this and have made some circumventions. We can tell you that now, in addition to us, there are two other shareholders who are legal natural persons and the shares meet the requirements."
Zhang Meng was a little embarrassed, the boss. With such a large investment, how could I not consider this issue? I am too arrogant.
"Boss, I am willing. Compared with Manager Jiang, there are some gaps between me and him in terms of market development. I think I can do this kind of contact with rear suppliers and business docking with supermarket chains."
Seeing Zhang Meng speak up, Jiang Fangzhou chose to support him. Although he also wanted to participate in the boss's new project, he knew that he was under a lot of pressure. After the last communication with the boss, the boss indeed adjusted the production capacity of heavy motorcycles, and It has continued to increase over the past year, and he is now suffering from happiness.
Zhu Xuefeng admired Zhang Meng's self-recommendation, and she was the one who was originally chosen.
"You two have no objections. In that case, Manager Jiang, you will not make too many adjustments to your North American responsibilities this time, but you must operate the Dongsheng Electronics and Machinery brand store differently from chain supermarkets. , Dongsheng’s own products take the high-quality route.”
“Don’t worry, boss, I will do it.” Jiang Fangzhou has been recharging his energy for the past year, and now his main focus has been on business management in North America. These were his responsibilities.
"Deputy Manager Zhang, you have to be responsible for the original business, and you also have to connect with the supermarket chain. This is a heavy responsibility. Are you confident?"
This is the first time for Deputy General Manager Zhang Meng to meet the big boss. She has been fully trained in the market development in the past few years and has grown rapidly. With wisdom, tenacity, warmth and the spirit of constant pursuit of progress, she has led her team to achieve good results, especially among the women within the company. Outstanding, won the favor of Wu Qianqian. Because of Wu Qianqian's recommendation and Zhang Meng's self-recommendation, Zhu Xuefeng naturally chose Zhang Meng this time.
I took another look at the manager. He was of moderate stature and well-dressed. He showed both the competence of a professional woman and the unique femininity of women. He had long black and bright hair, simple yet fashionable. It perfectly brings out her capable and delicate face.
"Don't worry, boss. This is pressure and motivation. I have this confidence. With the support of the team, I will definitely achieve your wishes."
"Okay, there will be one the day after tomorrow. At the supply chain management meeting, suppliers from several parties will be present, and we will implement the specific details.”
