After returning to Kyoto, Zhao Yi signed a Tengger Desert lease agreement with the central government, with a rent of US$4 billion and a lease period of 100 years.
After the agreement was signed, Zhao Yi handed over the transformation work of the Tengger Desert to Wei Donglai and went to the Institute of Biology. Since the environment of the Tengger Desert was harsher, the previous sand fixation agents, loam grasses and pastures needed further improvement. transformation to enable them to adapt to harsher environmental and climatic conditions.
Zhao Yi reorganized an improved technical information and asked people from the institute to study it. In addition to these, the breeding technology of new sheep breeds and the breeding technology of high-yielding and high-quality dairy cows needed by Maowusu Ranch were also handed over to them.
After finishing these things, Zhao Yi approached Jia Siqi from the trading company and asked him to set up a global sales network.
"Our ranch will be able to sell beef on a large scale in two years. Due to the large volume, we need to establish a global sales network in advance." Zhao Yiyi said to Jia Siqi.
"We have foreseen this situation before and have investigated the retail markets of important countries around the world in advance." After Jia Siqi finished speaking, she handed him a survey report.
Zhao Yi took Zhao Siqi's research report and read it. There are some retail companies in it that will go bankrupt in the future if they are big now, and there are also some that Zhao Yi is familiar with but are not currently on the list.
After understanding the situation, Zhao Yi said: "In the future, global retail will develop in two extremes. One is dominated by supermarkets or super supermarkets, and the other is dominated by small convenience stores."
"So we need to adopt a strategy. Now that we have reached a turnover of more than 5 billion US dollars, we mainly invest in shares. If we can acquire between 1 billion and 5 billion US dollars, we will acquire it. If we cannot acquire it, we will buy shares. If we cannot acquire it, we will buy shares. The focus is on acquisition. If acquisition is not possible, we will build a similar retail market nearby, crush it and then acquire it. We can withstand losses in the early stage."
"As for convenience store chains, we mainly focus on acquisitions, and then use self-operation and franchise methods. This mainly requires mastering community sales channels. For example, the 7-11 convenience stores of American Southern Company are very good."
"I will give you US$20 billion in the early stage to lay out the department store retail market. We need to acquire them separately and establish different companies to avoid Western antitrust laws."
"As for the Southeast Asian market, you can set up a department store retail company yourself, transplant the mature Western retail system to Southeast Asia and improve it based on the actual local conditions. If there are small chain stores that have established a reputation, you can also acquire them."
"I will ask people from the law firm to register a group of companies in the Cayman Islands. These companies will be headquartered in Hong Kong, and the management will be owned by trading companies. What I need is to monopolize the global retail market as much as possible. If you don't have enough money, let me Say it." Zhao Yi finally said domineeringly.
Jia Siqi was shocked by Zhao Yi's domineering attitude. She had vaguely known that her boss was not short of money. The annual research and development expenses of these mainland companies were a large amount of money. However, she did not expect that only the acquisition of department store retail companies would prepare 20 billion US dollars in the early stage. , in order to achieve a monopoly position, more will be added later.
After coming back to her senses, Jia Siqi quickly said: "Mr. Zhao, I understand what you mean. I will go back and revise the plan right away. I will definitely be able to complete your great idea."
Jia Siqi led Zhao Yi's spirit back to Shenzhen, held a meeting with company employees overnight, deployed personnel, investigated the entire retail market, and then made tentative contacts to understand the ideas of those companies. Those that can be acquired will be directly acquired. If they cannot be acquired temporarily, the shareholder composition will be analyzed to see if they can be defeated one by one. If it is not possible, competitive countermeasures will be studied.
The next day, Zhao Yi deposited US$20 billion into the trading company's account for the acquisition. After a year of development, Sunflower Investment Company’s cash account reached another US$100 billion, not counting the US$50 billion used to acquire mining companies. In addition, there are about 80 billion US dollars in the financial market.
It was a pity to keep so much money in the account, and this big move in the retail market allowed Zhao Yi to find a place to spend money.
Three days later, Zhao Yi saw the new plan submitted by the trading company. After seeing that there was no problem, he asked them to implement it according to the new plan. We are currently on the eve of the vigorous development of the department store retail market. The market values of Wal-Mart, Costco, and Carrefour are not high. It is very cost-effective to acquire them now. Even if they cannot be acquired, they can be defeated with abundant capital.
After leaving the matter to the trading company, Zhao Yi went to Shanghai to check out the semiconductor industry there. The semiconductor company had developed the memory stick and the computer motherboard was in the final stage. It is estimated that it will be available within a month. In this way, the entire computer system only needs one hard drive.
So after finishing his work at the semiconductor company, Zhao Yi came to Byte Data Company to check on their hard drive research status. Because Zhao Yi gave them giant magnetoresistive technology, the capacity of the hard drive was greatly improved. Coupled with the advanced equipment of Precision Instrument Company, the first hard drive launched by the data company reached a data storage capacity of 10G. This will be a revolutionary product that changes the current way of data storage.
Now that everything was ready, Zhao Yi took advantage of the situation and established a Polaris Technology Company, which would later be used exclusively to produce consumer electronics and home appliances, such as computers, game consoles, music CDs, DVD players, televisions, refrigerators, etc.
After the company was registered, Zhao Yi asked the human resources company to recruit Zhang Ruimin to be the person in charge of Polaris Company. Since Zhao Yi's reputation has become a bit high recently, it didn't take much effort to recruit people. Once the people came, they started recruiting. Today's special zone is full of people with dreams, so the establishment of the company went smoothly.
When the technicians were almost recruited, Zhao Yi began to train them and began the research and development of the company's first product, the Polaris Personal Computer. Since each one is modular, it is not difficult to build a computer that can run, but it is difficult to use it well. In addition, the R&D team still needs to carry out necessary industrial design and R&D of necessary software and hardware.
When all this work is done, the time has arrived for the Laba Festival, and there are only 22 days left until the Chinese New Year. So Zhao Yi returned to Beijing, and then he made Laba porridge with his own hands and invited three foodies, Zhou Jinjue, Zhou Jinyu and Lin Hexia, to gather together.
"You will be seniors after the Chinese New Year. What are your plans?" Zhao Yi asked the three of them.
"I might stay in school and become a teacher." Zhou Jinyu said first.
"It's good to be a teacher. There aren't so many intrigues and it's more suitable for girls. Jinjue, what about you?" Zhao Yi asked Zhou Jinjue.
"I haven't decided yet. Maybe I will go to a government department, but not necessarily." Zhou Jinjue said helplessly. For her major, she would either go to a government department, a research institute or a chemical company.
When she saw Zhao Yi looking at her, Lin Hexia said: "I may go to work at CCTV, and I will go to CCTV for an internship in my senior year."
"You first go to CCTV for a year as an intern, and then come back to help me." Zhao Yi said.
"You want to start a TV station?" Lin Hexia asked.
"Well, I estimate that in 1982, of course not in China, I plan to acquire Li TV in Hong Kong and let you be in charge of this TV station when the time comes." Zhao Yi said.
"I have no problem, I just don't know if I can do the job." Lin Hexia said.
"Doesn't this give you a one-year learning period? You will gradually become familiar with it." Zhao Yi said. (End of chapter)
