Chapter 1314 The Intention of a Drunkard (Thanks to Brother Rotsen for the double alliance reward!)
Suzuki Toshifumi saw the news that Disney was going to break the contract on TV.
From the beginning, Toshifumi Suzuki paid the utmost attention.
At noon the next day, when he saw that the American Disney negotiating team had arrived at Narita Airport, he immediately called his most capable assistant, Yamada Muneaki.
7-11 has been expanding very rapidly recently.
Those Japanese investors who saw the broad prospects of 7-11 joined or franchised one after another, constantly expanding the territory of 7-11's empire.
Right now, after the start of the new year, there are hundreds of 7-11s waiting for construction and renovation, and hundreds of applications are under intense review.
Everything looks so good.
So even though he was very busy and couldn't go home all day long, Yamada Muneaki was still full of energy and fought hard.
It’s not just him, many 7-11 employees are like this.
When everyone sees hope and is inspired by a huge sense of glory, they will work hard and not think of anything else.
Such pure hard work is the easiest way to achieve success!
So even though he was very busy and couldn't go home all day long, Yamada Muneaki was still full of energy and fought hard.
When he was called over by Toshio Suzuki, he had just returned from Yamanashi Prefecture and only had time to sleep in his office for two hours.
Looking at the tired-looking Yamada Muneaki, Suzuki Toshifumi nodded slightly and poured him a cup of coffee himself, "Yamada-kun, thank you for your hard work!"
"It's not hard work. I feel excited when I see our 7-11s springing up like mushrooms after a spring rain!" Yamada Muneaki said happily while drinking coffee, "President, I believe that in three years at most, our 7-11 stores will be In Japan, the scale can reach an unprecedented 10,000! This is a great achievement!"
Originally, Suzuki Toshifumi would have burst out laughing after hearing this, but after Yamada Muneaki finished speaking, he didn't hear the expected laughter, which was very strange.
Looking up, what he saw was Suzuki Toshifumi's serious face.
"President, do you have any questions?" Yamada Muneaki quickly put down the coffee cup.
He had realized that there might be some trouble today.
Suzuki Toshifumi sighed, "Did you see the news? The one at Disneyland."
"Disneyland?" Yamada Muneaki was stunned for a long time, and then said: "I have been busy with work recently and have not paid attention to entertainment. But my son said that when Disneyland opens in March, he will let me accompany him to play for a day. What? What happened?"
"See for yourself." Suzuki Toshifumi handed over yesterday's and today's reports to Yamada Muneaki.
Yamada Muneaki didn't dare to neglect and looked down.
After looking at it for a long time, he frowned, "Isn't it right? For such a prudent business cooperation, Disney will tear up the agreement as soon as it says it will. It's so overbearing! This is a complete violation of business laws!"
"Is this the only one?" Suzuki Toshifumi asked.
"I..." Yamada Muneaki didn't react. He thought for a long time before he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, President! I was too stupid to understand more of the meaning!"
Suzuki Toshifumi was a little disappointed, but he didn't take it to heart.
If Yamada Muneaki can figure out more things after reading the information for a while, then how can he keep such a smart person by his side with confidence?
Like this, it is best to execute every order diligently and have strong abilities.
Thinking of being jealous, Suzuki Toshifumi smiled and said, "Who does Disney belong to?"
"Disney is..." Yamada Muneaki said uncertainly, "A company in the United States is just a private company of the Kirin Group."
"How many companies did Qilin Group buy in the United States?"
"I bought Disney, United Artists, 7-11..."
When Yamada Muneaki said this, he was suddenly startled and said in horror: "President, you are not worried that Kirin Group will treat us this way, right?"
"Why is it impossible?" Suzuki Toshifumi asked.
"because……"
Yamada Muneaki's words came to his lips, but he swallowed them.
His mind quickly recalled the equity relationship of 7-11 and the franchise rights of 7-11 in Japan.
The franchise rights authorized by 7-11 to Japan's Ito-Yokado 7-11 convenience store were bought out at one time by Japan's Ito-en. Every time a branch is opened in the future, as long as it follows the regulations, it will give a small amount of franchise store rights. Gold, even if it is OK.
Japan's 7-11 has always done this. According to a six-month period, newly opened stores have paid royalties on time.
The headquarters has been transferred to the 7-11 headquarters in Xiangjiang, and they have been very cooperative every time, and even praised the Japanese people for their serious attitude.
In terms of business principles, as long as it is stipulated by law, the Japanese will definitely not dare to cheat, but if there is no such thing, then it is hard to say.
In fact, it is not the Japanese, but the Americans and the British who do it.
However, 7-11's caution did not take into account one of the biggest problems.
That is, when they signed the contract with the US headquarters, it had a basic breach of contract clause just like the contract signed between Disney and Oriental Paradise.
Out of fear and submission to the Americans over the years, their contract breach clauses are not set too high.
The default clause of Disneyland Japan in Oriental Park is US$800 million.
Ito-Yokado's 7-11 is even less, only 500 million US dollars.
It doesn't matter if there are only 1,000, 2,000, or even 3,000 7-Eleven stores in Japan. The compensation of US$500 million is enough for Ito-Yokado to make a fortune.
But now there are nearly 5,500 7-Eleven stores in Japan, and by the end of the year, the number is likely to reach 6,000. In this way, the compensation of US$500 million is a bit insufficient.
More importantly, Japan's 7-11 has now found the most suitable path for 7-11's development through Yin Jun's strategy.
If we continue at this pace, not to mention 10,000, even 20,000 or 30,000 7-11s may develop all over Japan!
Think about the 7-11 stores all over Japan and Japan!
How much benefit will this bring to Ito-Yokado, and how much potential strength will it bring?
How many economies will it affect, how many businesses and companies will it control, and how many people will it serve?
As long as I think of these, it is absolutely impossible for Ito-Yokado to give up 7-11.
This is why 7-11 has recently received more and more attention from Ito Yokado. Toshifumi Suzuki has directly changed from the executive director of Ito Yokado to the representative director and general affairs, ranking second only to the representative director and chairman. The most important reason for one of the three general affairs.
Just when they were excited to continue their fight, they suddenly saw the news that Disney wanted to break the contract and forcibly suspend the operation of Disneyland in Japan. What a shock this was to Suzuki Toshifumi, no need to think about it. all know.
Yamada Muneaki now understands what Suzuki Toshifumi is worried about.
He is worried that the 7-11 headquarters will treat Japan's 7-11 in the same way.
Japan's 7-11 did not obtain the 7-11 brand rights, it was just a borrowing.
If the 7-11 headquarters really does this, all 7-11 strategies of Ito-Yokado in Japan will have to be cancelled, and all efforts will be in vain.
Yamada Muneaki immediately shuddered when he thought that all his efforts over the years had come to nothing.
"President!"
Yamada Muneaki shouted almost as if he was torn apart: "They can't do this, right? Absolutely not!"
Suzuki Toshio hated it when others were rude in front of him, but this time, he did not blame Yamada Muneaki, but just sighed: "Yamada, this matter is not something we can decide at all. Everything depends on what the Kirin Group does... ...Everything depends on what Yin Jun does."
"Will he break the contract and destroy our 7-11?" Yamada Muneaki shed tears.
Then, suddenly he became energetic and said, "President, how about we change our appearance and make another brand? If 7-11 cannot do it, we will make 7-24! Anyway, the store is ours, the manpower is ours, and the operation is ours." The pattern is ours too!”
"Nonsense!"
Toshio Suzuki scolded, "7-11 has been rooted in the hearts of Japanese people for so many years. If you suddenly change the brand, it is completely different. How will the public's acceptance be? Don't forget, behind our backs Supermarkets and convenience stores like Luosong and FamilyMart are all watching, and if we make a strategic mistake, they will catch up immediately!"
"But this is better than being wiped out!" Yamada Muneaki clenched his fists, "We can't put our fate in other people's hands. President, please give me a chance. I will definitely work hard to make the new convenience store a success." OK!"
Suzuki Toshio still shook his head.
Yamada Muneaki said it, he thought of it immediately yesterday.
But no matter how you estimate it, it feels like a huge shock, and it will be uncomfortable for the Japanese who are used to it.
Seeing that Yamada Muneaki still hadn't figured it out, Suzuki Toshio said calmly, "We can use three or five years to rebuild a brand and win back the trust of customers... But, Yamada, what do you think? Will Yin Jun be unable to do anything to us?"
Yamada Muneaki said blankly: "What can he do? We don't use 7-11 anymore, what can he do? This is Japan!"
"What if he drives 7-11 directly to Japan?"
Hearing this, Yamada Muneaki's mouth suddenly opened wide, and his expression changed from anger to horror in an instant.
That’s so!
No wonder the president, who has always been wise and calm, is so worried about this matter!
After so many years of hard work, 7-11 has become a trend in Japan.
Even if Ito-Yokado creates its own 24-hour convenience store brand, Yin Jun only needs to directly acquire a company in Japan and then bring in the 7-11 brand. If you say others are willing to join a brand as big as 7-11, Still willing to invest in Ito-Yokado.
To put it even more extreme, Yin Jun doesn't need to find any franchise to embolden him and open up the situation.
With Yin Jun's current financial strength, as long as he opens 1,000 7-11 stores in Japan, he will naturally be sought after. 7-11's set of franchise methods will spread quickly, and it will take a few years. Ito Yokado's most powerful opponent.
It's funny to say.
The reason why 7-11 is what it is today is all due to the hard work of Suzuki Toshifumi and Yamada Muneaki.
But now, it can be taken by others and used directly against them.
It's so ridiculous and sad! !
"Then what should we do?" Yamada Muneaki was a little panicked. He was really panicking now.
"I'm going to meet with the president," Suzuki Toshio said. "I'll report the situation first so that everyone can be mentally prepared for this matter. Then we'll discuss countermeasures."
After a pause, he added, "It's hard to say. Yin Jun may do it or not, but we must be prepared in advance!"
Yamada Muneaki was about to speak but stopped.
He has followed Suzuki Toshifumi for so many years, how could he not know what his boss is thinking.
Driven by huge profits, the chance of Kirin Group breaking the contract is really great! !
