Chapter 360 【Never softhearted! 】

The department store war ended, and Daxin Department Store and Zhonghua Department Store under the Baiyou Group became the ultimate winners;

The original two department stores, Daxin and Zhonghua, did not necessarily have the high turnover of the first department store;

After the department store war, the two department stores have already owned them, which is not weaker than the strengths of Xianshi and Yongan;

Of course, the most important reason is that the two department stores have great backers!

Department stores in the 1960s and supermarkets in the 1970s, Baiyou Group will always strive for first place and shame for second place;

Supermarkets are relatively simple. Baiyou Group will operate a large-scale supermarket in Asia as a joint venture with Metro;

The franchise right of Metro Convenience Store in Asia naturally belongs to Baiyou Group.

The war ended, and Mark came to Wu Guangyao’s office;

The excitement and excitement on the road have been put away at this time, replaced by respect;

In this battle, although the boss Wu Guangyao did not participate, he gave a lot of support;

For example, Dongying Lenovo Group provides a steady stream of low-priced electrical appliances;

For example, Metro Group has provided a lot of support.

"This department store battle, your performance is very good!" Wu Guangyao leaned back on the office chair and looked at Mark, a foreigner, who was tall but thin, and he felt very shrewd.

"Thank you BOSS for the compliment. Actually, the main reason for the victory of Dah Sing and Zhonghua is because of their backing on the big tree. Even Xianshi and Yongan are far behind; their family management flavor is too strong, although they can There are advantages in the early stages of development, but once the scale increases, this model becomes a disadvantage." Mark said.

"You don't regard them as opponents anymore?" Wu Guangyao said calmly.

Mark quickly said: "That's not true, but I have the confidence to slowly cannibalize their market in the mid-range market."

"That means they are already your prey?" Wu Guangyao attacked Mark again.

"Yes!" This time, Mark stopped hesitating and said decisively.

Wu Guangyao didn't feel anything wrong after listening to it. People who have the ability are confident!

As far as Wu Guangyao knows, the later generations of Sincere Department Stores and Yongan Department Stores were finally defeated quickly by the double blows of large supermarkets and Japanese department stores in the 1970s;

Yongan Department Store took the lead in investing in Dongying Department Store, paying a price of 40% of the shares, and soon distributed the second spring, which was six times the turnover of Sincere Department Store at that time.

"Before this department store war, what did I remind you of?" Wu Guangyao asked calmly.

"Pay attention to Oriental goods. As the BOSS has analyzed, Oriental goods are indeed more popular! Therefore, I will pay attention to this issue in the future." Mark said seriously.

"What else?" Wu Guangyao continued to ask.

This time, Mark finally couldn't answer immediately. He didn't know what answer Wu Guangyao wanted!

Mark pondered, the boss is testing himself, but he doesn’t seem to have any ideas?

Dong Ying. Dong Ying. What on earth does this little dwarf deserve to be valued by the boss?

Hi. Hi. Bow your head and bow

Mark had been to the Dafan department store opened by the Japanese on Hong Kong Island, so I have been reminiscing about that scene now.

Wu Guangyao is not in a hurry, he is not short of this time, so he waits for Mark’s answer quietly in his spare time.

"It's service, BOSS thinks the service of Japanese department stores is very good!" Mark suddenly realized and raised his voice.

Wu Guangyao nodded with satisfaction and added: "You are very one-sided. I often go to Dongying on business trips. All of their service industries have a spirit. This spirit is called-the customer is God. So, I think You should have a real opponent, that is Dongying's department store business; both an opponent and a good teacher!"

Mark listened to Wu Guangyao's words and replied seriously: "Yes, BOSS, I will study their advantages seriously."

"If you want employees to treat customers as God, then the company must treat employees well; well, I have said everything that should be said, and you can understand it slowly!"

Mark walked out of Wu Guangyao's office and couldn't help but think that the success of BOSS was not accidental, and even many details thought more than his subordinates.

In early December 1962, the last oil tanker built by Global Shipping in early 1961 was launched;

and immediately signed a five-year long-term contract with Yamaguchi Steamship Company until the end of the contract in early December 1967.

Undoubtedly, this tanker will lose five months of high freight, because the third Middle East war broke out in June 1967, and the freight is bound to rise immediately.

This is Wu Guangyao’s smoke bomb, or it’s just a means of hitting opponents!

After the launch of this ship, Global Shipping already has a deadweight fleet of 7.6 million tons; among them, the new ship has a deadweight of 7.1 million tons, and the old ship has a deadweight of 500,000 tons after the elimination of 300,000 tons.

The size of the fleet is equivalent to that of Bao Yugang in 1971, but Wu Guangyao still has 2 million tons of vessels under construction.

In fact, in terms of time spent, Bao Yu had just completed a load of 7.8 million tons in 16 years from 1955 to 1971;

Wu Guangyao completed 7.6 million tons of deadweight in 13 years from 1949 to 1962;

It seems that the gap is small, but it is not;

First of all, the ships currently owned by Wu Guangyao are basically all new ships;

Secondly, Wu Guangyao has a deadweight of 7.6 million tons, and he does not owe a penny;

Finally, Wu Guangyao also has various assets such as 2 million tons of deadweight vessels under construction and 15 container terminals.

"Mr. Wu, happy cooperation! I believe this is a win-win situation, and both of our companies will get what we need!" Suzuki Xiong, the person in charge of Yamaguchi Steamship, stood beside Wu Guangyao and said affectionately.

"Happy cooperation, Mr. Suzuki!" Wu Guangyao responded.

In fact, the cooperation is really pleasant, a 100,000-ton oil tanker, long-term leased to Yamaguchi Steamship Company for 5 years;

Five years later, this oil tanker has basically recovered its costs without major failures.

The reason why it is so profitable is also because shipping prices in the 1960s were considered to be one of the best periods in the entire 20th century;

In the entire 1960s, industries in Europe, America, and East Asia were in an era of blowout development, so shipping was easier by the way.

Back on Hong Kong Island, Wu Guangyao encountered something that was not very pleasant when he went to work on the first day.

It turned out that a new freighter encountered a typhoon in the Philippine waters during its first voyage, causing it to run aground and cause serious losses.

"Have you questioned the captain and seafarers?" Wu Guangyao asked Gao Ke and He Yuanzhang who came in to report the situation.

"I asked, I have come to a conclusion! This typhoon is predicted, and the captain has no knowledge of the equipment on board and the climate at the time, which is the main cause of the accident."

Wu Guangyao's complexion is not very good when he heard that, and the captain has made such a big mistake, which is simply unforgivable;

The cost of this 50,000-tonne ore puller is 7 million U.S. dollars, and the cargo on board is also calculated in millions of U.S. dollars. Such a high price is due to the serious loss of an inexperienced and prepared captain.

"This is a big warning! The captain does not have experience and sense of responsibility, so it will cause such a danger. We have a bigger super tanker. Can you rest assured?" Wu Guangyao said in a bad tone.

"Boss, it's because I didn't do my job well!" Gao Ke lowered his head and blamed himself.

Wu Guangyao waved his hand and said decisively: "I am not interested in this one! From now on, the captain and senior marine personnel of the super tanker must be strictly trained by experts before they can take up their posts; all captains and senior marine personnel on duty , It takes time to go to the Global Maritime Academy to receive regular training from experts."

"As for the captain who was involved in this incident, after the dismissal, an announcement will be made throughout the company! Other senior seafarers, if you have ascertained the facts, you should not be reluctant to dismiss."

At this time, Wu Guangyao was decisive and would not sympathize with those people at all!

For the mining ship that was involved in this time, even if it was paid by the insurance company, the loss of Global Shipping was as high as more than one million U.S. dollars.

Wu Guangyao has a reason for heartache!
