Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 367 "Subscription at the end of the month" after the inspection

  For five days, Yang Chen went around a small bay, and finally finished inspecting several game factories with a scale of more than 1,000 people and top rankings.

   There are more than 20 game factories, with a monthly output of at least 10 million game consoles, with a total value of less than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, all of which were packaged and sold to him.

  With the land, it is really the price of Chinese cabbage, which is extremely cheap.

  These game factories were built only in recent years when the game market was booming. The machinery and equipment are all 90% new. Even the maximum working age of the employees has not exceeded five years, and most of them are only two or three years old.

   The ban came down last year and lasted for a whole year, and everyone no longer has much hope for it.

  According to the above series of actions, it is impossible for the game ban to be lifted in a short time. Even if there is a day when it is lifted, everyone can’t wait.

   Therefore, it is really nothing unusual to sell at a loss.

  Yang Chen swallowed so many game factories in one go, Wan Wan has been keeping an eye on his media, and naturally he will not miss this rare opportunity.

  The great talent spent hundreds of millions of Taiwan dollars to save the Wanwan game industry and directly made the headlines of the major newspapers in Wanwan. For several days in a row, the topic of the entire Wanwan media was revolving around him.

  Because of media reports, many game company owners in Wanwan have come to visit these two days, all wanting to sell the game factory to Yang Chen.

   In their eyes, Yang Chen is a big fat sheep, with the words "People are stupid and money coming quickly" on his back.

   However, it is a pity that those who were not selected by HSBC are basically not very interested in Yang Chen, and now he has enough game factories.

   Now the game factory in his hands has exceeded half of the Wanwan game industry. If he continues to acquire it, the entire Wanwan game industry will probably be monopolized by him alone.

In this situation, some people above Wanwan definitely don’t want to see it. They can let HSBC acquire so many game factories just to eliminate the impact of the ban. The other is the Wanwan game market. Not so many game companies have transformed.

  If Yang Chen doesn't make a move this time, in addition to those game companies that have successfully transformed themselves, the rest of the game companies in Wanwan will go out of business in the near future as the ban continues.

   The next winter of the game industry has just begun. The game market, which has not been popular for a few years, will break the backbone of most game factories after the collapse of Atari, making them completely lose hope.

  In the entire global game market, except for one Japan, other markets will be impacted.

   This is also an important reason why Japanese game companies have become popular in the global game market for more than ten years and are unmatched.

  The entire game market has been hit by the collapse of Atari, and its vitality has been greatly damaged. When some game companies have recovered, Japanese game companies have long ruled the entire game industry.

  The cakes were all divided up by Japanese game companies, and the market was so big that there was no chance at all.

   The pattern of Japanese game companies dominating the global game market was not broken until the Internet era and the era of smartphones.

   However, even in the 21st century, Japanese game companies are still in a strong position in the game console industry.

  Other game companies can only pour into online games.

   After inspecting the game factory, Yang Chen was not in a hurry to leave Wanwan. This time he came to Wanwan, except to take over the game factory from HSBC.

  The other is to make a front stop for Carrefour and do some preparatory work for Carrefour to enter the Wanwan market next.

   Speaking of Carrefour's expansion, Yang Chen suddenly remembered one thing, and that was the origin of the later Carrefour company.

  Carrefour was established in 1959. It is the pioneer of the hypermarket format and the largest retailer in Europe.

   In later generations, Carrefour has more than 10,000 retail stores, and its business scope covers more than 30 countries and regions in the world. It is the largest supermarket store in the world after Walmart.

The name   Carrefour was used by Carrefour in 1989 after entering the bay.

At first, Yang Chen thought that he might be sued by Carrefour Company. Later, when he asked about Carrefour Company's Chinese translation, he realized that the name translation of foreign companies is not a literal translation. For example, Carrefour Company's French translation is a "Crossroads" means.

   After figuring this out, Yang Chen was relieved, and then he put his mind on the Carrefour company. This company will be the second largest retail supermarket in the world after the old American Wal-Mart supermarket.

   If you can acquire it yourself, you can open up the European market in one fell swoop.

   Of course, it is impossible now, the biggest characteristic of retail companies is that they will never run out of funds.

   Except in the initial expansion phase, once it stabilizes, the retail company is a super cash cow.

  Many large supermarkets in later generations have the habit of accumulating funds from suppliers. As long as the channels are mastered, even if the supermarket runs out of money, it will not affect its operation.

  Because, there will be countless suppliers who will be voluntarily suppressed by supermarkets for stable sales channels.

   This is also why many large companies in all walks of life in the future will have the risk of bankruptcy, but it is very rare to see large supermarkets closing down, supermarkets encountering problems, and more are being merged.

  The population of Wanwan is 20 million, which is four or five times that of Xiangjiang. In addition, after so many years of development, Wanwan has the conditions to open a supermarket.

   If you don’t hurry in and take a favorable position at this time, when will you wait? When Carrefour and other foreign supermarkets come in, the competition pressure on Carrefour will increase.

   Every time Carrefour enters a region, it will cooperate with local suppliers as soon as possible, especially local specialties such as farm products.

   This model greatly enables Carrefour to quickly complete the localization, allowing the people in a region to accept it for the first time.

   This model, Yang Chen is also ready to learn from it, integrate into the market of a region, and let Carrefour's every move can affect the development of a region.

   Once there are local supporters, Carrefour will not face much resistance.

  The game factory is secondary, and the expansion of Carrefour is the most important. Even if the game can bring him a lot of money in the future, there is absolutely no way to compare it with Carrefour.

   Of course, he didn't think about opening Carrefour all over the Bay, first to pilot, and open Carrefour main stores in various important cities in the Bay.

   Then, slowly expand again step by step.

  The reason why Yang Chen came to Wanwan this time was so high-profile, and even stayed in Lin Qingxia's villa directly, in order to attract the attention of the people above Wanwan.

   As the saying goes, the King of Hell is easy to meet, and the little devil is hard to deal with.

  Although he never thought of seeing the big guy on top of Wanwan, he still wanted to get his attention and see what the other party's attitude was.

  If the other party doesn't mind his investment in the inland, then he will not hesitate next.

   He will directly build Wanwan, Shanghi, Shenzhen and Shenzhen, together with Xiangjiang, into a solid chain, so that all foreign supermarket companies will continue to bite the second hard bone before entering the inland.

   As for the first piece, it is naturally the market of other Asian countries, that is Yang Chen's first fortress.

  The two sniping lines, although they cannot prevent foreign supermarket companies from entering the inland, can definitely delay their entry into the inland and buy time for Carrefour to expand in the inland.
