I want to be a giant of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 351 [Franchise Own Products] (Ask for a monthly pass!)

At 06:30 in the morning, Wu Guangyao got up and planned to inspect the manor.

When I came back, I happened to meet Chris, and greeted with a smile: "Morning, Chris, how did you rest last night?"

Chris said arrogantly: "So-so, I still like my Earl's Castle!"

Wu Guangyao smiled, seeing that Chris was clearly in a good state of mind, he should have had a good rest last night;
It's just that the proud fourth Earl Lytton, how could he admit defeat!
However, Chris's 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 work at Metro Group;
Mrs. Sutton will live in a residence near the hospital in the urban area after a week of recuperation in the Moon Invitation Castle, so as to facilitate delivery;

Sitting in the back row of the car, Wu Guangyao watched the scene a little coldly, and found a topic: "After graduating from university, what do you want to do? Do you have your own plan?"

Chris said dissatisfied: "I'm only a freshman, and I'm only a sophomore in the second half of this year. How can I think about things after graduation!"

Wu Guangyao said: "From the moment you go to university and choose your major, you have already taken a step closer to society."

Chris said dissatisfied: "I didn't think about it!"

The reason for his dissatisfaction was naturally Wu Guangyao's old-fashioned tone.

Wu Guangyao said: "Okay! You are studying economics. I have many large international companies, and I open the door to you at any time."

Chris said proudly: "I don't want to work for you!"

Wu Guangyao said indifferently: "Then go to your mother's real estate company. After 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, you must at least do an internship first!" "

Chris pursed his lips and said, "Isn't that your company? I don't know her yet, she's not a business material at all!"

The two were like friends, and they came to Cambridge University without knowing it.

"study hard, improve every day!"

Before Chris got out of the car, Wu Guangyao told him to get up.

"Enough, I'm not a primary school student!"

Chris glared at Wu Guangyao fiercely, said in a fierce tone, then turned and left proudly;

The moment his back was turned to Wu Guangyao, Chris had a smile on his face, apparently in a good mood.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Wu Guangyao arrived at the Metro Group.

"It's settled?" Keira asked suspiciously.
"Of course, you don't even look at who your husband is, young and old take all!" Wu Guangyao said confidently.

When Kaila heard this, her eyes opened wide, and Wu Guangyao was terrified.

Wu Guangyao quickly understood why Kaila did this, he must have misunderstood himself, after all, he had the precedent of Huixiang and Haruko.

"Don't get me wrong, Huaxia's language is broad and profound, not what you imagined. I'm not that kind of person, otherwise you wouldn't be the only women after so many years!"

"You don't think it's too little to have six women, do you?"

Well, Wu Guangyao admitted that he couldn't say no to this woman, so he had to do something 'tough'!
After a while, there was a knock on the office door, and the two hurriedly separated.

"Come in!"

The beautiful female secretary glanced at the two of them, and said, "Boss, directors, middle and senior management have all arrived in the conference room."

"Well, come right away!"

Wu Guangyao's gaze at this time was looking at Keira's secretary, and it seemed to be a lot bigger!
After the blond secretary left, Keira pinched Wu Guangyao, and then said with gusto, "It's too late, someone else is already married, who told you not to seize the opportunity before!"

Wu Guangyao withdrew his gaze and said, "I'm just observing her. How loyal is she to you? You may not know that we have an ancient profession in China called a physiognomy. The so-called phase division."

At 35:5, the two entered the meeting room. Obviously, they were [-] minutes late.

The reason is that Kayla believes in Wu Guangyao's boasting, because Wu Guangyao himself is a man full of fascination;
Coupled with China's ancient culture, Keira became obsessed with the world of the physicist.

"Give me a brief report on the situation first!" Wu Guangyao said without hesitation.

The middle and high-level management are obviously used to it, not to mention that Wu Guangyao is Keira's man, everyone knows it well;

Even who is the soul of Metro is clear to everyone;
Without Wu Guangyao, Metro would not have any chance to grow.

Donald, who is in charge of retail, quickly said: "At present, Metro Retail has fifteen large supermarkets, including five in the UK, four in the US, two in France, one in Germany, one in Italy, one in Spain, and one in the Netherlands;"

“目前麦德龙零售一共拥有1100家麦德龙便利店，英国360家，美国280家、法国115家、德国60家、意大利50家、西班牙30家、荷兰26家.”

"The number of global employees in Metro's retail industry has reached 6600, making it the king of the global retail industry."

Obviously, when Donald talked about these achievements, everyone in the conference room showed expressions of pride.

However, Wu Guangyao has always liked to have a sense of urgency, so the expression on his face is calm, and he is recalling and thinking in his mind.

Then, the head of McDonald's, Bonas, also reported the situation: "At present, McDonald's has 305 self-operated stores in the world, of which 102 stores are self-owned; there are a total of 800 franchised McDonald's stores, including American franchise stores. There are only 450, and the rest are mainly distributed in Europe and Canada.”

Wu Guangyao nodded and expressed his satisfaction. McDonald's is expected to develop into a large real estate developer in the future.

While McDonald's collects franchise fees from others, it takes part of the franchise fees to invest in self-operated stores and purchase stores.
If things go on like this, one's own wealth will naturally increase.

The last is retail oil. Charlie briefly reported a few words, mainly because the development of retail oil (gas stations) was late, so there are only ten gas stations at present, but they are running well and have a bright future in the future.

After Wu Guangyao listened to the reports of the heads of the three first-tier subsidiaries, he picked up some of the opinions he had just written down and published them.

"I have a few opinions on Metro retail!"

While Wu Guangyao was speaking, the management had already prepared pens and notebooks to record.

"The first point is that the development of convenience stores is still too slow, so let's discuss the opening of the 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 expand The volume of convenience stores can quickly increase the number of self-operated convenience stores”

"Secondly, Metro Retail can strive for the second listing status in the United States and win over some allies in the United States."

"The third point is to strengthen the development of self-owned products in supermarkets and convenience stores; self-owned products have two notable characteristics, high profits and representative. Self-owned products generally refer to food and beverages. When a customer loves After entering our own products, maybe he will be our loyal customer for life. The family bucket of fried chicken, super Burger King, smoothie drinks in summer, etc., as long as we develop with our hearts, we will surely succeed.”

After Wu Guangyao finished his three points, everyone was still thinking about it;

After a few seconds, everyone expressed their admiration for Wu Guangyao with the warmest applause.

Many people are thinking that without the soul of Metro, Metro may not even be able to get out of London, England.

And Kayla even showed the appearance of a little woman, her eyebrows were expressive and affectionate.
What Wu Guangyao said may have been thought of by the management, but it was never expected to be so comprehensive and finalized.

Many big companies in later generations have lost their leading positions because of an idea they once had;
And Wu Guangyao is to keep Metro from going astray, and to always move forward on the right path.

Wu Guangyao coughed to get everyone back from their excitement.

I haven't finished my performance yet!
"About McDonald's, I also plan 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 stock ownership plan for employees and management; although it is a reward, it is not free. Everyone needs to buy this share, and the price can be about 10% of the offering price.”

Wu Guangyao's half-sell, half-gift plan almost ignited the entire meeting room, and the smiles on the faces of all the management staff were undisguised.

Everyone has a kind of blind confidence in the Metro Group. The source of this confidence may be the superiority of the soul and the company's system, so even if it is the IPO price, everyone will buy the company's shares.

Back in the office, Kayla was very excited. She wanted to have another listed company!

目前，麦德龙零售的股价是12先令（1英镑等于20先令，1971年后改制1英镑等于100便士。）
The total share capital of Metro Retail is 9000 million shares, and the total market value has reached 5400 million pounds (about 1.5 million U.S. dollars);

Wu Guangyao and Kaila hold a total of 5600 million shares, of which Kaila holds 3800 million shares and Wu Guangyao holds 1800 million shares.

Therefore, Kaila's net worth in Metro retail is 2280 million pounds, which can be described as a rich woman in Europe.

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 8000 million US dollars;
Calculated based on the transfer of 40% of the shares (including 10% in the employee stock ownership plan), Keira holds 40% and Wu Guangyao holds 20%;

So Kayla is worth another $3200 (£1100m), for a total of around £3400m, not counting law firm and retail oil fortunes.

"Calm down! Stocks are just stocks, and we don't cash out, so what's there to be excited about!" Wu Guangyao said with a smile.

Kaila gave Wu Guangyao a blank look, this man is really strange, disturbing her sweet dreams.

In fact, although Wu Guangyao and Kaila will not choose to cash out, the annual dividends are quite considerable!
The next day, Wu Guangyao accompanied Mrs. Sutton to the GH estate.

Although GH Real Estate currently has only one residential project, it has already attracted the attention of the London real estate industry because it is a large-scale community project;

In addition, GH Real Estate Company actually sold off-plan houses, and they sold very well (1000 units have been sold, 4800 units in total).

With the GH real estate company, Mrs. Sutton still set off a wave of heat in the upper class of England.

In GH Real Estate Company, Wu Guangyao briefly asked about the status of the company, and then returned to the manor.

I am very relieved of the management of GH Real Estate, after all, there are several excellent management of the former Cheung Kong Industrial.
