Fortunately, Feng Yu used the excuse that he was a patient to prevaricate the situation again. Brother Ji poured himself a drink while Feng Yu drank the black tea happily.
The tea is so delicious, why does Mao have to drink? Feeling dizzy, is it great
"Brother Ji, we have invested so much money in the supermarket group. Why do you plan to open 20 new supermarkets?" Feng Yu was a little confused. With the money he and Kirilenko invested, it would be no problem to open 40 supermarkets. Bar? Real estate in Russia is not more expensive than in China.
"That supermarket group used to have a lot of debt, and it developed by relying on bank loans. When we inject this money, we must first use part of it to repay the loan. Moreover, this year's economic situation is not good, and all payments must be settled that month, so You need to set aside a working capital," Kirilenko said after taking a sip of vodka.
Feng Yu mentally calculated the size of this supermarket group, and then weighed his investment. It was a good investment. The important thing is to become the largest supermarket group in Russia in one fell swoop. This name is more beneficial to the development of supermarkets.
"Brother Ji, you still remember our discussion. This supermarket group should not only develop in Russia. Other countries in Eastern Europe should also open supermarket chains. We should make our supermarket group a world-class retail group!"
How big is the population of Russia? Compared with China, it is vast and sparsely populated. But the good thing is that many countries in Eastern Europe are all allies of the Commonwealth of Independent States and have a lot of cooperation with each other. And they all share the Russian language, and even the currencies of many countries still use the ruble.
In these countries, if chain supermarkets can also be opened, the scale will increase. It can also enrich the supermarket's purchasing channels and expand the supermarket's brand awareness.
"I know, I'm talking about acquiring two supermarket groups in Ukraine and Belarus, but I have to cooperate with people there. Don't worry, it will definitely be in the name of our supermarket group."
Kirilenko originally planned to open a new store by himself, but after inspection, he found that it was not easy. Or maybe it's because others opened early and all the good locations were occupied. But fortunately, the two supermarket groups are not large in scale and have low assets.
Moreover, the depreciation of the Russian ruble has also caused a lot of damage to Ukraine and Belarus. Their currencies have also depreciated by 35% and 70% respectively. Even the currencies of the entire CIS countries have been affected by the depreciation. Yes, because many of their currencies are pegged to the Russian ruble.
This time, the entire CIS countries were hit, which also gave Kirilenko an opportunity to become the largest retailer in Eastern Europe!
Except for Ukraine and Belarus, supermarkets in other CIS countries are just getting started. Kirilenko is confident that he can defeat those companies at any time, or he can directly merge and acquire those companies that are just developing. Supermarket companies in those countries are not eligible to invest in them.
Feng Yu was very satisfied. It seemed that Kirilenko still had some capable people. Perhaps those people are much better than Feng Yu in business management, but their vision is far worse than Feng Yu.
"Brother Ji, what kind of enterprises does your country encourage investment in now? I mean there are some preferential policies."
"Construction, building materials, transportation, wood processing, food processing, textiles, etc. are all light industries. The only heavy industry is automobile manufacturing, and there seems to be a communications industry. What, what other good investments have you thought of?" Kirilenko He immediately put his glass down with a look of anticipation on his face.
Among them, Feng Yu has already cooperated with Kirilenko in the automobile manufacturing and communications industries. The remaining industries seem to be only light industry. Feng Yu has already invested a large amount in the underground resources that he most wants to invest in. It seems that there is really nothing to invest in due to these incentives.
Feng Yu banged his head. Without preferential policies, he also wanted to invest in some industries.
"Brother Ji, are you interested in food processing? There may not be much profit for the time being, and the income will not be very high in the future, but it is better than stability."
"Food processing? Let's forget about this. I once sent people to inspect it, and it's really not very profitable. Russia is different from your China. Our food is really not as delicious as yours."
If you don't have high requirements for the taste of food, you won't be able to achieve perfection, and the profits will definitely not be high.
Feng Yu thought for a while, and since Brother Ji was not interested, forget it. Feng Yu would definitely not be able to do it himself. It just so happens that Beidacang and other developments can be brought to Russia.
"What about making furniture?"
"Furniture? Wood processing? This doesn't work either. We still have many small workshops in Russia. Although you are very good at creating a brand, the sales volume may not be good. There are many furniture brands in Western Europe. The sales here are not very good, only some high-end ones. The brand is selling well, but there is no room for us to enter." Kirilenko shook his head, he had also investigated this.
"What about building materials? We have so many mines and rich iron ore and non-ferrous metal ores. It would be a big loss to only export primary products such as minerals. Let's open a metal processing company. It just so happens that we don't have Is there any relevant license?”
"Do you really want to make this bigger? According to the scale you mentioned, we in Russia cannot digest it at all and can only export it."
"I personally think this is very promising. After all, our car factory also needs a lot of metal materials. I can underwrite a large part of this in China." Feng Yu said. Perhaps it can also allow some Chinese companies to spend less money, which can be considered a contribution to the country.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you. This investment will also be put on the agenda and we will try to put it into production next year!"
"There are also chemical companies, not just petrochemicals, but also ordinary daily chemical products, including cosmetics. You have also seen how expensive a set of brand-name cosmetics is in the United States and Western Europe. The profits there are absolutely very high. As long as we can create a well-known brand, we will definitely get a piece of the pie.”
In the previous life, cosmetics consumption was the highest not only in Europe and America, but also in Asia. In China alone, cosmetics consumption has been increasing year after year, and it has become the largest cosmetics consumer market in Asia, and even the largest cosmetics consumer market in the world!
The Chinese people, on the other hand, are more accepting of imported products, imported from Europe.
Russia is also European. As long as it occupies the Eastern European and Chinese markets, it will be ranked first in the world!
The investment in petrochemical industry is not low. If it were not for Feng Yu, Kirilenko would not be able to afford it. Now that daily chemical products are added, the investment will be even higher.
Fortunately, Russia has many talents in the chemical industry, so there is no need to worry about this.
"Okay, I'll listen to you on this. Let's make the chemical company bigger! But Feng, I won't have any money if I do this."
"You can get a loan. As long as you persist for two years, the profits of the mining company will be enough. What about the profits of supermarkets, electronics factories, and automobile factories?" Feng Yu knew that Kirilenko wanted to take more shares, but Feng Yu can't suffer too much.
"Okay, that's it, right? There's no new investment, right?"
"That's all for now. I believe these companies will develop enough to make you the richest man in Europe!"
Kirilenko's eyes are bright. He is the richest man in Europe. It feels very good to hear it. Let's do it!
