Chapter 107 The Arrival of Executives
Early the next morning
After Xue Yufei and Xue's father went to work, Yang Chen stayed at home alone.
As early as on the way back yesterday, Yang Chen had asked He Chaoqiong to help him inquire whether there were any houses for sale in Repulse Bay.
Although living in the Xue family is not bad, it is not very convenient to stay here all the time.
Especially since he lives here, He Chaoqiong cannot come to him casually and rarely even makes phone calls.
This is so painful.
He didn't want He Chaoqiong to think that he only cared about Xue Yufei's feelings and ignored her feelings.
This kind of thing may be fine in the short term, but over time, problems are guaranteed to occur.
Looking at the newspaper on the table, Yang Chen felt a little helpless, because the newspaper was full of news about his return to Xiangjiang.
This made the original idea of going to Xue's Manufacturing Industry with Xue Yufei and Xue's father come to nothing. They could only choose to call several intermediary companies that they had contacted before and ask them to send several executives poached from Wal-Mart to Xue's house.
There were paparazzi lingering in front of Xue's house all the time. If it weren't for Chen Aiguo and others, someone might have climbed over the wall and come in.
It is precisely for this reason that Yang Chen wants to move out of the Xue family as soon as possible.
Although the security in the villa area where the Xue family is located is good, it can't stop those paparazzi with their powerful powers, which is very annoying.
In about an hour, several senior executives introduced by the intermediary company appeared in front of Yang Chen.
Through a short exchange, Yang Chen has figured out the situation of several people. There are six of them in total. They are all young and about forty years old. They are in the prime of life.
Ordinarily, given the age of a few people, being able to get into the management of Wal-Mart at this age is already pretty good.
But they were still poached by intermediary companies, and here we have to say the tragedy of being Chinese. Although many foreign companies like to hire Chinese (hardworking and hard-working), they rarely allow Chinese to truly enter the core level of the company.
Racial discrimination, even if it rises in the country in later generations and becomes an important force that cannot be ignored in the world, still cannot change this.
Of course, this happens everywhere.
Including in our country, many companies also do not allow foreign employees to enter the core level of the company. There are very few companies that can truly tolerate everyone.
When they saw Yang Chen, the six of them were not very surprised. They had already learned Yang Chen's identity when they arrived.
Coupled with the constant reports about Yang Chen in the Xiangjiang media in the past few days, the six of them already had a rough understanding of the person in front of them who might become their boss in the future.
Why do we say future?
Here I have to say that although the six people have now stood in front of Yang Chen, whether they will work for Yang Chen in the end is another matter.
Compared to others, the six people have enough power to choose. If Yang Chen is not strong enough, they would rather stay in the original company.
Wal-Mart has now begun its global layout. It will be a matter of time before it enters the Asian market in the future. If it is earlier, they may still have a chance.
The reason why they are willing to come is that besides Yang Chenkai's very attractive conditions, the other reason is that they don't know if they can wait until Wal-Mart enters Asia.
After all, they are already quite old. After ten years of delay, if there is no movement in the company, they may be facing retirement.
Indeed, Yang Chen remembered that Wal-Mart entered the Asian market in the mid-1990s. By that time, several people were about to retire, if not retire yet.
In the bones of Chinese people, there is a kind of pride that would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
There are a few people who are capable, but are suppressed because of their status and race. No matter how hard they work, they will not get much promotion.
At this time, if someone suddenly offers an olive branch, everyone will be moved.
In order to better demonstrate their abilities, several people began to study the market in Xiangjiang after arriving in Xiangjiang. Like Yang Chen, they all saw opportunities in this virgin land where large supermarkets had not yet emerged.
Although Xiangjiang is small, it has a population of millions. Even if there are several large supermarkets like Wal-Mart, there will be no problem.
Moreover, the geographical location of Xiangjiang is excellent. Once the foundation of Xiangjiang is firmly established, if Yang Chen has enough capital, he can continue to expand towards the surrounding areas of Xiangjiang.
As one of the Four Asian Tigers, Xiangjiang has unlimited potential in the eyes of the six people.
This is the best time and the best opportunity. It would be a pity if you miss it.
The three of them were willing to work hard to study these things because they were impressed by Yang Chen's generosity. Through the intermediary company that introduced them, the six of them learned that Yang Chen was frantically tapping Chinese employees from all walks of life within Wal-Mart.
At this time, several companies have hired hundreds of Chinese Walmart employees for Yang Chen, and most of those people have now been sent to Xiangjiang for resettlement.
Such a big deal, if Yang Chen doesn't make some noise, it can really only be described as a willful prodigal.
You must know that when Yang Chen asked the intermediary company to recruit people, he said that if anyone was rejected, he would be compensated for three years' salary as compensation for lost work.
The three-year missed work pay for hundreds of people, based on current wages in Hong Kong, is almost tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
Because of this, the six people would bother to help Yang Chen research the Xiangjiang market so that they could be valued by Yang Chen and be entrusted with important tasks.
After reading the information and preparations of several people, Yang Chen nodded and said: "The analysis of the market in Xiangjiang is very accurate. Xiangjiang has a dense population and is the best place for large supermarkets to survive.
However, there has never been a large supermarket in Xiangjiang. We are the first to try it, so we can only cross the river by feeling stones.
There are many luxury stores of various types on the streets of Xiangjiang. We cannot directly copy the foreign large-scale supermarket model, which may lead to acclimatization.
This requires market research and testing, and I hope you will pay attention to this and pay close attention to it.
Regarding the internal layout of the supermarket, it must conform to the living habits of a place. I don’t expect everyone to like it, but you must make it like and agree with the majority of people in Hong Kong.
As for how to adjust, that is your business. You have more experience than me in this aspect. I just want to see the final result."
Having said this, Yang Chen took a sip of water, leaving a few people with room to think, and then continued: "I always like to think about failure first, and then success. I will definitely build a large supermarket, but at the beginning I only
I'll start with a small supermarket.
This is not a question of money. I can clearly assure you that I will invest no less than one billion Hong Kong dollars in this this year alone.
In other words, our initial investment will reach 200 million US dollars, or even more, and I hope you can seriously consider it."
