In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

On the morning of February 2th, Lin Haoran came to the company early as usual.

As soon as he arrived at the company, Huo Jianning excitedly reported to his supervisor: "Boss, the relevant departments have agreed to change the name of the building to Landmark Building. I plan to change the sign on the top floor of the building in the next two days!"

"Okay, since it already belongs to us, we should naturally change it to our signboard. It can also be regarded as a good advertisement!" Lin Haoran nodded with a smile.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Haoran received another call from Su Zhixue.

"Boss, we have successfully taken over the Southern Company. Currently, the person behind the company has handed the company over to our Huanyu Investment Company. Can you tell me when to arrange for a manager to take over?" Su Zhixue asked on the phone.

Lin Haoran asked: "What is the current situation of the Southern Company?"

"The CEO of Southern Company is a professional manager. He is currently in charge and everything is running normally!" Su Zhixue replied.

"Okay, just give me the CEO's contact information, and I won't bother you with the rest!" Lin Haoran said with satisfaction.

Southern Company considered this issue when it acquired the company in Texas, USA.

Although the American market is still the most important market for Southern Company, Lin Haoran knows very well that the largest market for 711-Eleven convenience stores in the future will be in East Asia, not in America!

Before Lin Haoran traveled through time, Japan had more than 711 -Eleven convenience stores. Even the small country of Taiwan had more than stores, while the United States had only half of Japan's.

From this we can see that Japan's convenience store market is obviously better than that of the United States!

After Su Zhixue gave Lin Haoran the work number of the CEO of Southern Company, he directly dialed the phone number leading to Texas, USA.

"Mr. Anton Allison?" Lin Haoran asked with a smile after the call was connected.

"Yes, I'm Anton, who are you?" A puzzled voice came from the phone.

"I am Lin Haoran, the new boss of Southern Company. I believe you know my identity." Lin Haoran continued.

"Hello Mr. Lin, even if you didn't call me, I would have called you. I want to know, Mr. Lin, what are your plans for Southern Company after you acquired it?" Anton Allison directly asked the question that concerned him the most.

"How about you come to Tokyo, Japan, and I'll wait for you here? I need to talk to you, it's just a business trip, but before you leave, I hope you can arrange your work in the company temporarily. I don't want anything to go wrong in the company in just a few days!" Lin Haoran directly stated the purpose of his call this time.

He intends to temporarily move the Southern Company's head office to Japan, because Japan will be the most important development location for 711 in the future!

Otherwise, if the boss of 711 changes from Ito to him, a Chinese, it may have a certain impact on the expansion of 711 convenience stores.

In the future, when 711-711 becomes Japan's largest convenience store giant, it will be fine to move to Hong Kong even if there is some impact, because -'s dominant position has become a fact.

As for the United States, the influence of 711-Eleven convenience stores there is still not small. Cities like New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco are basically well covered, and their reputation has been established. In addition, American citizens are not like Japanese people who like to support domestic products, so even if Southern Company moves out of the United States, the impact will not be that great.

After all, the United States is a melting pot of nations, not a single nation-state like Japan.

Lin Haoran's words gave the other party almost no chance to refuse.

If he doesn't come, Lin Haoran doesn't mind changing the person in charge.

Anton Allison was silent for a while before he said, "Okay, Mr. Lin, I will take a flight to Tokyo early tomorrow morning!"

Now, it is morning in Tokyo, but it is already evening in the United States, so if Anton Allison wants to come, he has to wait until the next morning in the United States.

"Okay, Mr. Anton Allison, I'll wait for you!" Lin Haoran said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Haoran was in a very good mood.

711 convenience store may be the most powerful convenience store giant in the world in the future. Although his intervention may change the future of 711, he does not think that the future of 711 will get worse.

After all, he is not an ordinary person, and he knows exactly what the main markets for convenience stores will be in the future.

Perhaps, after being under his control, the development of 711 convenience stores will be faster than in the previous life!

In addition, it is time for 711-Eleven convenience stores to enter the Hong Kong and Singapore markets.

As far as I can remember, the 711-Eleven convenience stores in Hong Kong in the past were controlled by Jardine Matheson & Co., and it was this year that Southern Company authorized Jardine Matheson & Co. to join the franchise.

However, now that he has driven Jardine Matheson out of Hong Kong, and 711-Eleven convenience stores have become his business, the layout of 711-Eleven convenience stores in Hong Kong has naturally changed.

It is just right to let Dairy Farm International handle this matter!
Dairy Farm International is now focused on the retail industry.

"Boss, yesterday's performance data is out. Wellcome Supermarket's turnover yesterday was 80% less than usual and even less than the day before yesterday!" Sato Shimono handed a report to Lin Haoran and sighed.

"Okay, I understand." Lin Haoran said calmly.

"Boss, do we really not need any countermeasures? If it really doesn't work, we should also lower the prices. Even if we lose money, at least we can maintain our market share. Otherwise, over time, they will form shopping habits, and even if the other party raises the price, they may not come back to shop at our Wellcome Supermarket!" Faced with the boss's indifferent expression, Sato Shimono was a little anxious.

After all, he was the one who managed the Wellcome supermarkets before, and he had made a lot of efforts to ensure the survival of the three Wellcome stores in Tokyo. This can be regarded as the hard work of Sato Shimono.

"Look how anxious you are. Don't worry, in two days at most, the price war will not continue!" Seeing Sato Shimono like this, Lin Haoran was very satisfied with him. Sato Shimono was anxious, which showed that he valued Wellcome Supermarket. This was the kind of subordinate he should have.

Seeing that Lin Haoran still said this, even though Sato Shimoye didn't understand what the boss had done, he could only wait.

Two days later, he wanted to see whether Ito-Yokado Department Store would stop the price war.

"Boss, Miss Nakamori is here again, and her father is with her." At this time, the receptionist came in again to report.

"Well, bring her in. Mr. Sato, you go out first!" Lin Haoran said to the two of them.

"Okay, boss." The two answered in unison.

Not long after, under the guidance of the front desk lady, Lin Haoran met Akina Nakamori again.

Behind her, there was indeed a middle-aged man, who looked to be in his forties. I guess he was Akina Nakamori's father.

The receptionist did not go out because she knew that she should continue to be the translator today.

As soon as Akina Nakamori's father came in, he secretly looked at Lin Haoran.

Sure enough, it’s exactly the same as the photo in the newspaper!

At this moment, Akina Nakamori's father has confirmed that the person in front of him is indeed the famous Hong Kong super-rich man.

Yesterday afternoon, he went to see his friend who liked to read international news, and learned more about Lin Haoran from his friend.

After returning home and discussing it with his wife, the two became more certain that if they confirmed that the other party was really the super-rich Hong Kong tycoon, they must let their daughter Akina Nakamori seize the opportunity. Even if it was just a little connection, then their Nakamori family would benefit greatly.

Lin Haoran looked at the anxiously-looking Nakamori Akina's father and the more lively Nakamori Akina today, and asked with a smile, "How have you considered it?"

The receptionist nearby also translated into Japanese and spoke to them at the right time.

"Mr. Lin, after I went back and discussed with my parents, I decided to sign a contract with Gui Company. Today I specially brought my father to sign the contract with you!" replied Akina Nakamori.

Her father nodded as well.

"Okay, in that case, you guys take a look at this contract to see if there are any problems. If there are no problems, just sign it!" Lin Haoran said as he took out two copies of the contract from the cabinet.

This contract was naturally prepared in advance.

After all, he had already seen that there was no way Akina Nakamori would be willing to give up such a good opportunity.

Even if she passes the selection for a variety show, she won't necessarily become a big star. What's more, she has already failed twice and the possibility of failing for the third time is very high.

And this monthly salary of 20 yen is real.

Any normal person will make a choice.

The reason why she wanted to become an artist was to change the living conditions at home.

Nowadays, an extra 20 yen a month is enough to change their family's living conditions.

Akina Nakamori's father looked at the contract carefully, fearing that his daughter would be deceived.

After looking for a long time and making sure there was no problem, he said something to Akina Nakamori.

Akina Nakamori nodded and finally signed her name on it.

As the guardian, her father followed behind Akina Nakamori and signed his name as well.

Looking at the names they signed, Lin Haoran smiled.

Akina Nakamori, there's no way she can run away.

After signing the contract, Akina Nakamori's father hurriedly left with a contract.

After all, the purpose of his coming here this time was just to confirm whether Lin Haoran’s identity was exactly as Akina Nakamori said.

Now that it was confirmed, he was naturally relieved.

As for Akina Nakamori, she is now a member of the Japanese branch of the Swire Group, so naturally she needs to stay.

"Boss, is there anything I need to do now?" Standing in Lin Haoran's office, Akina Nakamori asked nervously.

"You don't have to do anything for now. Oh, and learn English or Chinese. After all, we can't always rely on translation to communicate." Lin Haoran suddenly laughed. (End of this chapter)
