Chapter 351 [Franchise Own Products] (Look for a monthly pass!)
At half past six in the morning, Wu Guangyao got up and planned to visit the manor.
When I came back, I happened to meet Chris and said with a smile: "Morning, Chris, how did you rest last night?"
Chris proudly said: "So-so, I still like my earl's castle!"
Wu Guangyao smiled and saw that Chris was obviously in a good state of mind. He should have had a good rest last night;
It's just the proud fourth-generation Earl Litton, how could it be possible to admit defeat!
However, Chris’ attitude towards Wu Guangyao is much better, and he has obviously accepted Wu Guangyao.
After breakfast, Wu Guangyao took the initiative to take on the task of sending Chris back to school, and he will also go to Metro Group to work;
Mrs. Sarton will go to the residential area near the hospital in the urban area to live in a residential area close to the hospital after a week of training in the Yueyue Castle, which is convenient for childbirth;
Sitting in the back of the car, Wu Guangyao watched the scene a little coldly, and found a topic: "What do you want to do after graduating from university? Do you have your own plan?"
Chris said dissatisfiedly: "I'm only a freshman, and only sophomore in the second half of this year, how can I think about things after graduation!"
Wu Guangyao said: "From the moment you choose your major in university, you have been one step away from society."
Chris said dissatisfiedly: "I didn't think about it!"
The reason for dissatisfaction is naturally Wu Guangyao's old-fashioned tone.
Wu Guangyao said: "Okay! You are studying economics. I have many large international companies, and I will open the door to you at any time."
Chris proudly said: "I don't want to work for you!"
Wu Guangyao said indifferently: "Then go to your mother's real estate company. When you graduate, this real estate company will be considered a big company in the UK. If you want to start a business and become a strong woman, at least you have to do an internship first! "
Chris crumbled and said, "Isn't that your company yet? I don't know her yet, she is not for business at all!"
The two are like friends, and they came to Cambridge University unknowingly.
"study hard, improve every day!"
Before Chris got off the car, Wu Guangyao woke up.
"Enough, I am not a primary school student!"
Chris gave Wu Guangyao a fierce look, said fiercely, and then turned away proudly;
The moment turned his back to Wu Guangyao, Chris showed a smile on his face, obviously in a good mood.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Wu Guangyao came to Metro Group.
"Is it settled?" Kayla asked suspiciously
"Of course, you don't look at who your husband is, young and old take it all!" Wu Guangyao said confidently.
Kayla's eyes opened wide when she heard it, and Wu Guangyao's hair looked terrified.
Wu Guangyao quickly understood why Kayla was doing this. He must have been wrong about what he meant. After all, he had the precedent of Huixiang and Haruko.
"Don’t get me wrong, Huaxia’s language is broad and profound, which is not what you think. I am not that kind of person. Otherwise, after all these years, there won’t be just a few of you women!"
"You don't think it is too little to have six women, do you?"
Well, Wu Guangyao admitted that he couldn't talk about this woman, so I can only do something ‘hard’!
After a while, the office door was knocked, and the two quickly separated.
"Come in!"
The beautiful female secretary's eyes flashed across the two of them, and she said, "BOSS, directors, and middle and high-level management have all arrived in the meeting room."
"Well, come soon!"
Wu Guangyao’s gaze at this time is actually looking at Kayla’s secretary, which seems to be a lot bigger!
After the blond secretary left, Kaila pinched Wu Guangyao, and then said tastefully: "It's late, someone else is already married, who told you that you didn't seize the opportunity before!"
Wu Guangyao retracted his gaze and said: "I'm just observing her, how loyal is to you? You may not know that we have an ancient profession in China, called a master. The so-called master."
At nine thirty-five, the two people walked into the meeting room. It was obvious that they were five minutes late.
The reason is that Kayla believes in Wu Guangyao's bragging, because Wu Guangyao is a man full of fascination;
Coupled with the ancient culture of China, Kaila indulged in the world of photographers.
"Give me a brief report first!" Wu Guangyao said without hesitation.
Middle and senior management is obviously used to it. Not to mention that Wu Guangyao is Kayla’s man, everyone knows it well;
is who the soul of Metro is, everyone knows exactly;
Without Wu Guangyao, Metro has no chance to grow.
Donald, who is in charge of retail, hurriedly said: “At present, we have a total of 15 large supermarkets in Metro Retail, five in the United Kingdom, four in the United States, two in France, one in Germany, one in Italy, one in Spain, and one in the Netherlands;”
“At present, Metro retail has a total of 1,100 Metro convenience stores, 360 in the UK, 280 in the United States, 115 in France, 60 in Germany, 50 in Italy, 30 in Spain, and 26 in the Netherlands."
"The number of global employees in Metro's retail industry reached 6,600, making it the king of the global retail industry."
Obviously, when Donald talked about these achievements, everyone in the conference room showed expressions of Rongyan.
However, Wu Guangyao has always liked to have a sense of worry, so the expression on his face is not waved, and his mind is reminiscing and thinking.
Then, McDonald’s responsible for entering Bonas also reported the situation: “At present, McDonald’s has 305 self-operated stores around the world, of which 102 stores are self-owned; there are a total of 800 franchised McDonald’s stores, including US franchise stores. There are 450, and the rest are mainly distributed in Europe and Canada."
Wu Guangyao nodded and expressed his satisfaction that McDonald’s is expected to develop into a large real estate developer in the future.
McDonald’s collects franchise fees from others while holding part of the franchise fees to invest in self-operated stores and purchase stores.
If this continues, one's own wealth will naturally increase.
Finally, there is retail oil. Charlie briefly reported a few words, mainly because retail oil (gas stations) has developed late, so there are currently ten gas stations, but they are well-operated and have a bright future.
Wu Guangyao, after listening to the reports of the heads of the three first-tier subsidiaries, picked up some of the opinions he had just handwritten and published them.
"I have a few thoughts on Metro retail!"
While Wu Guangyao was talking, the management had already prepared pen and notebook records.
"The first point is that the development of convenience stores is still too slow, so everyone discusses the open franchise model; the superiority of this model has been reflected in McDonald’s fast food, we can earn a lot of franchise fees, which can be expanded The size of the convenience store can quickly increase the number of self-operated convenience stores"
"The second point is that Metro Retail can strive for the second listing status in the United States and win over some American allies."
"The third point is to strengthen the development of self-owned products in supermarkets and convenience stores; self-owned products have two distinct characteristics, high profits and representativeness. Self-owned products generally refer to food and beverages. When a customer loves After buying our own products, maybe he will be our loyal customer for a lifetime. The family bucket of fried chicken, the super burger king, the summer smoothie drink, etc., as long as we develop with our heart, we will surely succeed."
Wu Guangyao's three points are finished, everyone is still thinking about it;
A few seconds later, everyone expressed their admiration for Wu Guangyao with the warmest applause.
Many people are thinking that without the soul of Metro, Metro might not even be able to get out of London, England.
And Kayla is even more feminine, expressive and affectionate.
What Wu Guangyao said may be something that the management thought about, but it was never so comprehensive and finalized.
Many large companies in later generations have lost their leading position because of an idea in the past;
And Wu Guangyao is to let Metro stay on the right path without turning a corner.
Wu Guangyao coughed, letting everyone take back their excitement.
I haven’t finished the performance yet!
"Regarding McDonald's, I also intend to raise funds for listing in the United States. The funds raised are mainly used to expand the scale of self-operated stores, purchase stores, and advertising. The shareholding plan of employees and management; although it is a reward for interest, it is not free. Everyone needs to buy this share. The price can be about 30% of the IPO price."
Wu Guangyao’s half-selling, half-delivery plan almost ignited the entire conference room, and the management made no secret of this smile.
Everyone has blind confidence in the Metro Group. The source of this confidence may be the soul and the superiority of the company's system. Therefore, even if it is stock holdings at the IPO price, everyone will buy the company's stock.
Back to the office, Kayla was so excited that she wanted another listed company!
Currently, Metro’s retail share price is 12 shillings (1 pound is equal to 20 shillings, and after 1971, 1 pound is equal to 100 pence.)
Metro’s total retail share capital is 90 million shares, and the total market value has reached 54 million pounds (about 150 million US dollars);
Wu Guangyao and Kaila together hold 56 million shares, of which Kaila holds 38 million shares and Wu Guangyao holds 18 million shares.
Therefore, Kailaguang Metro’s retail net worth is 22.8 million pounds, which can be described as a European rich woman.
The valuation of McDonald’s will definitely not be low, coupled with the higher valuation of the US listing, it is expected to reach about 80 million US dollars;
Calculated based on the transfer of 40% of the shares (including 10% of the employee stock ownership plan), Kayla holds 40%, and Wu Guangyao holds 20%;
So Kayla has a net worth of US$3200 (£11 million), for a total net worth of about 34 million pounds, which does not include the wealth of law firms and retail oil.
"Calm down! Stocks are just stocks, and we don't cash out. What's so exciting!" Wu Guangyao said amused.
Kayla gave Wu Guangyao a white look. This man was so strange and disturbed her dreams.
In fact, although Wu Guangyao and Kayla will not choose to cash out, the annual dividend is also considerable!
The next day, Wu Guangyao accompanied Mrs. Sarton to GH Real Estate.
GH Real Estate currently has only one residential project, but because it is a large-scale community project, it has attracted the attention of the London real estate industry;
In addition, GH Real Estate Company actually sold off-plan properties, and they are still selling pretty well (1000 units have been sold, 4800 units in total).
Ms. Sarton has set off a wave of heat in the upper class of the UK with the help of GH Real Estate Company.
At GH Real Estate Company, Wu Guangyao simply inquired about the company's status and returned to the manor.
I am very relieved of the management of GH Real Estate, after all, there are a few excellent managements of the former Cheung Kong Holdings.
