Chapter 866 Difficult Negotiation
It's funny to say, 7-11 is obviously garbage thrown out by the US emperor, but now someone is planning to buy it back.
"Mr. Ito, our boss is very sincere, don't you think so?"
"Fujita-kun, is this a warning?"
"Of course not. If it's just a hostile takeover, we don't need to negotiate at all. The shares held by Yanghuatang are only half, and more than half are in Nasdaq."
"Tell me, Fujita-kun, what exactly do you want?"
"Cooperation, don't you think that cooperation is a win-win model?"
"Ahem, Mr. Fujita, with all due respect, your boss has been secretly taking chips. Although he is the richest man in the world, he may not win."
Fujita was very speechless. The boss only wanted the parts of Mi Country and Rabbit Country, and he was not interested in the supermarket in the foot basin.
"Mr. Ito, you have developed quite well in the foot basin and Southeast Asia, and my boss is optimistic about the future development of 7-11.
However, that's not what he cares about. You know, the sales of 7-11 newspapers and magazines are increasing year by year. Although we will not emphasize uniqueness, we will require a certain proportion. "
"So that's it." The old guy figured it out, as a double giant of comics and media, with such an important sales terminal, there was absolutely no possibility of giving up.
What? Why did you go early.
William White is a native of Texas, so he naturally knows what the 7-11 here is. 7-11 in the United States is mainly concentrated in gas stations. In fact, many gas stations are also their home.
Diversification, which is the most popular way of playing at present, can not only increase horizontal profits, but also enrich the company's profit model.
Later, the parent company of 7-11 directly started to build oil refineries.
It's a pity that their choice was wrong. Mobil and Exxon lost money. What are you making a fuss about as a layman.
As for why William White suddenly became enlightened?
Didn't he just come back from the footbath? The plan that was originally planned to be done slowly is no longer possible, and there must be an explanation in the short term. If it doesn't work, he doesn't mind starting a new one.
William White discovered it in the foot basin. The 7-11 here not only sells comics, but also sells more adult books. The most excessive, there are no Vikings.
Fujita was severely punished that night. If it wasn't for this guy's knowledge, he might have been assigned. The current 7-11 is nothing. If you look at it ten years later, the world will be full of such 24-hour convenience stores.
William White is not interested in large department stores. These guys are good now, and when online shopping prevails, they will almost rush to the street.
As for 24-hour convenience stores, not only will there be more and more such stores.
"Fujita-kun, books and magazines, we can talk about, you know, the Vikings comics are pretty good.
We will not give up on such a large market as Rabbit Country. "
"No one asked you to give up. The profit is consolidated. Mr. Ito, to tell you the truth, we have acquired 15% of the stock and are now the second largest shareholder."
"Sure enough, with all due respect, with such a high price, you can start from scratch. There are so many 24-hour supermarkets in the United States, why is it 7-11?"
"Mr. Ito, to be honest, the relationship between William White and the Southern Company is not good. Otherwise, it is impossible for you to get it so easily."
Fujita is very depressed, this old guy is really difficult to deal with, this is already the third negotiation this month. Fortunately, from complete refusal to limited cooperation. This can be regarded as some gains.
Of course William White knew that Yokado was difficult to deal with. If it wasn't for the lack of suitable ones, he wouldn't be too lazy to grind his teeth with him.
Forced acquisition is not impossible, the sequelae are too great. Besides, he doesn't think that the foot basin will refuse. Their current development focus is on the foot basin and Southeast Asia. They don't pay much attention to the country of the United States. As for the country of the rabbit, they are actually very hesitant.
The success of 7-11 comes from the strict franchisee system. He was hanged and beaten by Rosen in the rabbit country because of this system.
One agent per province, why do you play so well. Do you know how big the Rabbit Country is?
The first-tier cities and provincial capitals are certainly good, you go to the county-level cities to try it out, and you are guaranteed to let you die on the streets.
"Boss, that's roughly what they meant. You scared them. If you continue to increase their holdings, they will revise their plan."
"Hahaha, stop the barbarians from invading? Fujita, the old guy will agree, his focus is on the foot basin."
"Yes, boss, I was negligent before. They opened a lot of stores at once. I sent someone to investigate, and most of them will be profitable."
"Hahaha, if most of the losses are lost, I will cry to death. The damn Southern Company is simply a prodigal."
With a good hand of cards, who would know that the company 7-11 is an American company. Well, it used to be an American company.
The Americans of this era, William White thought they had gone crazy, completely lost themselves.
Industrial relocation, industrial capitalization, and financial virtualization. In the end, you will find that this behemoth has no core.
Unless there is another World War II-level war, what the United States has lost may return. Otherwise, this is the way to go to the dark.
The bald eagle turned into a big horse monkey, constantly breaking and throwing corn. Some took two bites, and some just threw it away.
If your technology and innovation are unlimited, then you can continue to play in this mode. If not, don't worry, there must be a very huge pit ahead.
Since everyone has a big killer, you still can't fight at all. As for those conventional wars, you are not as good as a child. At least, the fighting nation is still a bit bloody, and they don't know how to be passionate.
"Shirley, is this the latest DVD?"
"Yes, boss, there aren't many film sources right now, the main ones are White Universal and Disney."
"What do you think?"
"There is no need to refuse to make money. With all due respect, our huge film library has not given full play to its advantages."
"How about that Suomi thing?"
"Ahem, boss, I don't recommend joining. The current MPEG has been abolished. Philips' standard is also far away. As for Suomi, it needs to be authorized."
"Why does this guy use it for free? This is really unreasonable."
Shirley Lansing said she didn't know. She is a professional manager. If you keep refusing, it will affect the company's performance.
William White cheated you, and his woman even made a movie for you. This old guy is still as stingy as ever. It seems that he must be stimulated.
"Boss, it's not just in the North American market, the place with the biggest sales of this DVD is Rabbit Country."
"Hahaha, those ten-cent authorizations? This guy must be out of his mind."
"Ahem, they just got back a net profit of three million dollars."
The old guy's eyeballs are red, three million dollars, if this is over a year, it will cost tens of millions. If the promotion is good, there may be more in the future.
"Shirley, thank you for your hard work. Please deal with this matter."
"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away." At the same time, Murdoch made a similar decision. So far, except for one Columbia, Hollywood has completely fallen.
In fact, Columbia can't last too long. If you don't make money even if you have money, you should go to bed early. As for other video formats, it can only be discussed in the long run.
