Chapter 441 Mutually Beneficial Cooperation with China Resources
Yang Wendong added: “In addition, we must also pay attention to food hygiene. We want to be a global chain store, so we need to have a complete set of rules in this regard;

The US also has it, you can learn from them, all kinds of sanitary products and oils need to have a reasonable replacement time, and then they need to be implemented in place, don't be afraid of high costs, when KFC grows in size in the future, you can ask Watsons to build a small refinery for you. "

"Mr. Yang, don't worry about this. In our chain service industry, we have strict requirements on hygiene," Tian Shengyi replied.

Yang Wendong said: "Okay, then it depends on your internal operations. If you operate well, I will give all your employees enough bonus income, plus opportunities for overseas expansion.

In addition, we need to gradually develop food with different flavors. We should not just learn from the United States or make slight changes. We must pay attention to localization.”

As for the development of the companies, the boss Yang Wendong can actually not help much. He can only point out the direction in the early stages, and then provide financial support after the companies are operating well.

The correct strategic direction and high-quality management methods are two basic elements for the development and growth of an enterprise, and neither can be missing.

I have done what I can do now. What will happen next depends on the ability of the professional manager. In the future, I only need him as the boss to check on the situation every few months, or visit the store occasionally. Anyway, they are all in Hong Kong, so I can go out occasionally and see what is going on.
"Yes." Tian Shengyi agreed.

After the success of the first KFC store, all it had to do was continue to expand. However, there were actually many challenges in terms of operations. Historically, KFC and McDonald's both had serious problems with acclimatization after entering Hong Kong in the 70s.

At present, Yang Wendong is also appropriately trying to adopt the operating methods and tastes of KFC in the mainland in its previous life, but it is hard to say whether it will succeed. After all, Hong Kong and the mainland are still different, and the times are also different now.

However, taste is also gradually developed through research and testing. As long as you are willing to keep trying, then after spending a certain amount of time and money, you will always find the right one. Just don't be like some international companies and copy the taste and management of another country into other countries.

……

Soon it was May, and the second KFC opened. It was much less popular, but many people went to try it, and Yang Wendong also paid attention to it. During this period, various different foods were gradually developed to test the market. From the amount of food left by customers and the probability of repeat purchases by old customers, it is possible to judge whether a certain food is popular, so as to continue to update it.
On the other hand, another main business launched this year, ham sausage, is also gradually rising.

On May 5, Zhou Haoran came to Yang Wendong's office with a document and said, "Mr. Yang, this is the number of orders for ham sausage from Japan and Taiwan in the past month. Judging from the quantity, it is almost five times our current production capacity, and this is only in the Kyoto area of ​​Japan."

"Five times? The most important thing right now is to expand production capacity." Yang Wendong said: "If the production capacity is insufficient, market expansion will also have to be suspended."

In fact, such things have happened several times in Changxing Industrial in the past few years, and the entire Changxing Group has become accustomed to it.

Yang Wendong could probably guess that the ham sausage might be in short supply, so he asked his subordinates to prepare more production capacity in the early stage. However, this production capacity is always limited, and it is impossible to increase the production capacity at the beginning. Even if there is more money to buy equipment, there is not enough staff;

"Yes, I have also asked Dongsheng to fully cooperate with us in producing the corresponding equipment." Zhou Haoran continued: "And some simple equipment has also been produced by equipment manufacturers other than Dongsheng."

"Technical personnel, quality inspectors, and various testing equipment must also be perfect, and no quality problems can occur," Yang Wendong reminded again.

Sausage is a food. We would rather have insufficient production capacity than have quality problems. Otherwise, the consequences will be more serious than sticky notes.

"Understood." Zhou Haoran said, "Mr. Yang, there is one more thing. I have discussed the meat supply with the people from China Resources. They said that they can build a corresponding pig farm in Bao'an County to meet our needs."

"That's fine." Yang Wendong said, "The demand for our ham sausage is also very high. It would be appropriate for China Resources to build a large pig farm in Bao'an County."

In the past, Shuanghui, the largest ham sausage company in China, slaughtered more than 1000 million pigs a year, and even this needed to be imported from outside. This is enough to show that ham sausage companies have huge demand for meat and grain.

It’s just that it’s too difficult to build a large-scale pig farm in Hong Kong, which is very different from the difficulty of raising chickens. Therefore, in the short term, it can only be purchased from outside. If the supply and demand are too large, it cannot be purchased directly. The best way is to negotiate with large suppliers and build a special production base. Otherwise, in a small city like Hong Kong, if the demand for pork surges, it will only hurt the economy.

Zhou Haoran said: "The problem is that China Resources does not have that much capital, so they want to borrow money from us, or we can provide them with guarantees from Hong Kong banks."

"Huarun has no money? Not really?" Yang Wendong asked curiously. Huarun of this era is indeed not as big as it was in the 80s, but it also controls nearly half of Hong Kong's food or small industrial products trade, and even some basic raw materials for many Hong Kong factories are also provided by Huarun.

Perhaps its scale is not as large as giants such as Cheung Kong Group and Jardine Swire, but it is definitely at the top of the second tier. It is a bit too much that it cannot even build a pig farm. Although there may be a huge demand in the future, it will not be that big at present.

Zhou Haoran replied: "It is said that because the domestic economy is in such a difficult situation, all the funds of China Resources have been withdrawn."

"Domestic economic difficulties?" Yang Wendong asked again: "Is there any more specific news?"

"I don't know the specific news, but there is one thing, it has something to do with Huo Yingdong and Mr. Huo." Zhou Haoran said: "Hong Kong's housing prices have fallen sharply recently, but many building materials exported from China have increased in price. This does not conform to normal logic. It is said that it is because of the poor domestic economy that prices have to increase.

Mr. Huo also went to Yanjing City and met with the leaders related to exports, telling them that doing so would be a temporary solution, but the feedback from the mainland was that there was really no other way and prices had to be raised, and the country could no longer take care of the future. "

"So that's how it is." Yang Wendong thought for a while and said, "Okay, whatever amount of money China Resources needs, we can lend to them through Hang Seng Bank, and I'll sign the guarantor. This project itself, as long as there are no problems, will definitely make money."

Outsiders do not know the economic situation in the mainland, but it can be seen from some external operations. You know, the top leaders in the mainland can be said to be the smartest planners in the world. The operation of many things may not be understood until many years later.

But now they have to increase the export prices of goods to Hong Kong, which must mean that there are serious economic problems and foreign exchange is needed.

In this case, there is nothing wrong in helping China Resources. After all, for myself, it can make up for the important link of lack of pork supply, and since I am the customer, the risk is very low.

"Okay." Zhou Haoran added, "In addition, China Resources also said that the food supply for the pig farm needs to be imported from overseas, and that domestic food cannot be used. So they also hope to get our help in the early stages. After a period of operation, when the farm has operating funds, they can buy food on their own."

"That's fine too. You can just buy it directly from Changxing Trading." Yang Wendong agreed.

At present, the domestic food supply is certainly very tight. Although the food can be used to feed pigs and exported to earn foreign exchange, in many cases, it is impossible to mobilize the materials because all operations have plans. On the contrary, it would be much simpler if we import goods from Hong Kong.

Zhou Haoran said: "Then there will be no problem. I will discuss the scale of the first phase with China Resources."

"Yes, that's fine." Yang Wendong said, "In fact, it doesn't matter if the scale is a little bigger. We have a large breeding farm in Bao'an County, so it will be much more convenient to supply Hong Kong in the future."

As early as 1962, three express trains were opened from the mainland to Hong Kong, in order to transport large quantities of food supplies such as vegetables, live poultry, meat, etc. from cities such as Shanghai and Hankou by train;

The reason for choosing a city thousands of miles away is that except for Yuezhou City, there are no other complete production bases close to Hong Kong, which cannot meet the increasing demand of Hong Kong.

Now we can use Hong Kong capital to build large-scale breeding farms near Hong Kong, which is also a good thing for the mainland. We can earn more foreign exchange and the prices in Hong Kong will drop a little bit.

Zhou Haoran also agreed and said, "Yes, from what I know, Bao'an County is also very poor. Having a farm like this is a good thing for the local area, but it may have some impact on the environment."

"Wrong." Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "In Hong Kong and some other places, there is pollution in farms because there is too much animal feces. But in the mainland, these things are good things. They are excellent materials for fertilizing farmland and can even be used as firewood after drying."

Yang Wendong, who was born in the countryside in the 80s, still remembers that when he was a child, there were people who specialized in collecting these things, and some families even treated them as treasures. This is also the difference between agricultural countries and industrial countries.

"Oh, that's right. I thought it was too simple." Zhou Haoran came to his senses and said happily, "That means the more pork we buy, the more food the farmers near the farm will be able to grow?"

"Yes, so we have to work harder in the future." Yang Wendong said: "The better our ham sausages sell, the more benefits we can bring to ordinary people in China."
