Chapter 276 Chain Store Business
This public opinion did not affect Wang Ye anything. He is a well-known and native entrepreneur.
Listing on Meigou.com is like using foreigners’ money to develop domestic companies. Who can say that he is not a word?
Of course, his offshore company intercepted a large amount of profits.
He also made large investments abroad, such as Fu Shengruo Meng, who cooperated with the Danish royal fund, and the huge investment in Goddess Island.
Wang Ye recognized what Li Chaoren said. Now it is the era of "global village". If you want to be a great businessman, investment must be global and cannot be limited to one country.
Investing in globalization does not mean that you have no nationality. You still have to know which side you should sit on. On this point, Wang Ye can still tell the difference.
Wang Ye is now considering the Watsons personal care chain, who will leave these stores to manage?
After the successful acquisition, the senior executives of Watsons Group have made it clear that they will continue to stay at Watsons Group and will not choose to switch to USG.com.
So now someone must be able to take over this business, with more than 1,700 stores, which is not a joke.
If proper handover and resettlement work is not done well, the store operations will be in chaos and will be greatly affected.
However, among the current executives of Meigou.com, there is indeed no one who is proficient in physical store operations. Huashang International has suitable candidates, such as Li Qinghuan and Cai Zi'ang.
But they cannot be transferred to the two of them. They both have heavy responsibilities now, so wouldn’t that affect the operation of Huashang International?
After thinking about it, Wang Ye called Liu Wenjuan. He knew that Liu Wenjuan had a lot of dealing with Watsons and was familiar with the management staff there, so he wanted her to recommend a suitable candidate.
...
When Liu Wenjuan saw the notice issued by Huang Shiye, she was stunned. What's going on? How did Meigou.com acquire Watsons' chain store!
But this is great news for her.
At least you don’t have to worry about how to deal with Huohao. Moreover, Meigou.com and Fuhua Cosmetics Company have always cooperated well, and they are the same major shareholder. Then you don’t have to worry about this channel in the future. You can’t choose the location in the store yourself!
When she received a call from Wang Ye, Liu Wenjuan was still imagining her beautiful life in the future.
"Mr. Wang, what are you asking for me?"
"Oh, didn't Meigou.com acquire Watsons' personal care chain business? Now the company has no suitable candidates to take care of this. I want to ask you if there is a suitable candidate to recommend it." Wang Ye said his purpose simply and clearly.
Liu Wenjuan's mind moved. This was a good opportunity. Can she...
But when it comes to the words, Liu Wenjuan hesitated again. She is now the president of Fuhua Cosmetics Company in Asia Pacific. This company has no direct relationship with Meigou.com, although it is the same major shareholder.
If you switched to Meigou.com, who would take care of the story of Flower Story? Wang Ye, the boss of Fuhua Cosmetics Company, obviously doesn't want to see this scene.
So Liu Wenjuan thought about it for a while and gave up the idea. She said, "There is really a suitable candidate, Luo Jun, general manager of Watsons Mainland Region, have you heard of this person Wang Dong?"
Wang Ye had never heard of it before, and he asked, "How is this person? Are you very capable?"
Liu Wenjuan introduced Wang Ye to the situation of this person. Perhaps people outside the circle don’t know much about this person, but they are still quite famous in the circle.
As early as 2003, Luo Jun had already joined Watsons and was active in Watsons' Xiangjiang Market for the next four years.
Until 2007, when Watsons Group's development strategy focused on the mainland, Luo Jun volunteered to work in the mainland market.
In the following years, Watsons expanded rapidly in the mainland market: from opening 100 stores in the previous 16 years, to the number of stores in the past five years from 2007 to the present, and the store expansion speed reached 8 times that of the previous one.
In addition to expanding at a speed that can be called "crazy", Luo Jun also helped Watsons get a lot of agency rights for makeup fragrance brands in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, and increase the proportion of men's care and cosmetics categories.
Until this time, because of the online storm caused by Liu Wenjuan, he became the scapegoat of Watsons Group and was forced to resign.
Liu Wenjuan recommended him this time, on the one hand, to recognize this person's ability, and on the other hand, it was also out of guilt.
After hearing this, Wang Ye thought it was a good candidate. What he needs now is this kind of senior management talent who is very familiar with Watsons' store management.
What's more, Watsons' future development focus is on the mainland. Since Luo Jun has served as the general manager of the mainland for several years and has made good achievements, he is obviously capable of this position.
...
Watsons Group's sales of business to Meigo.com and Temasek did such a big deal, and Luo Jun, who was in Pengcheng, also knew about it.
He was shocked that the group company actually sold three of Watsons' most core businesses, which he could not have imagined.
Unfortunately, Luo Jun originally planned to open at least 3,000 chain stores with one mainland market alone.
But now he has only opened less than 800 schools and is forced to resign. Thinking of this, Luo Jun felt a little sad.
After he left his job, several domestic companies contacted him, but Luo Jun refused because he still wanted to start a cosmetics chain store.
He is too familiar with this industry and has many good ideas and has no chance to practice it.
If you really can't find a suitable company in the end, it's better to start your own business.
However, starting a business is the last road, and Luo Jun knows how expensive it is to open a direct chain store. The wealth he has accumulated over the years cannot open a few stores at all. Moreover, the newly opened chain store has neither size nor fame, and probably cannot get the sales agency rights of big-name cosmetics.
This is the most deadly thing. Without a good brand, consumers cannot be attracted to the store. Without consumers entering the store, there will be no sales!
So these days, it is really difficult to succeed in starting from scratch.
Only those with inexperienced people will think that starting a business is simple. Only those who have been in an industry like Luo Jun for more than ten years can realize how difficult it is to leave the platform of a large company and rely entirely on their own to do things.
Just when he was thinking about his own way out, he received a notice from Meigou.com, which was called by Xu Jing, CEO of Meigou.com.
"Is it Mr. Luo Jun? I am Xu Jing from Meigou.com." A gentle female voice came from the phone.
When Luo Jun heard this, his heart started to beating.
Of course, it’s not because Xu Jing’s voice sounds so nice, but because of the “Mei Shopping Network” in front of her name!
Luo Jun naturally knew what this meant!
Meigou.com has just acquired Watsons’ personal care chain business. Isn’t this obvious? I want to get myself out of here to be responsible for this part of the business!
"Hello, Mr. Xu, I am Luo Jun." Luo Jun took a deep breath and replied calmly.
"I heard that Mr. Luo lives in Pengcheng, and our Meigou Network's headquarters is in Mingguang District. If it is convenient, can Mr. Luo take some time to come to our headquarters to talk about Watsons chain stores?" Xu Jing said in a harmonious voice.
"Of course! Mr. Xu has arranged his time. I am very leisurely now and can do it anytime, haha..." Luo Jun said with a loud laugh.
"Haha, I guess Mr. Luo won't be idle for too long. Let's do this. Tomorrow at 2:30 p.m., we will see you at the top of the office building No. 1, Mingguang Science and Technology Park," Xu Jing said meaningfully.
After hanging up the phone, Luo Jun's heart was still beating violently. He was thinking about what Xu Jing said, "I can't be idle for too long."
It seems that as I think, Meigou.com really wants to enable itself!
How rare is this opportunity? Luo Jun, who has been in the workplace for more than ten years, certainly understands that this is an excellent opportunity to reach the top in one step!
From the original regional boss who was only responsible for the mainland region to the head of the business unit who was responsible for the overall business, this is a qualitative leap.
If that happened to me and Meigou.com did not acquire Watsons' chain stores, then if you rely on your own experience, you may not be able to be promoted to this position in another ten years.
Now, the chain store business has been acquired by Meigou.com. What is the origin of Meigou? This is an Internet giant that has been listed on Nasdaq and raised more than 20 billion US dollars in one fell swoop.
In terms of strength, Meigou.com is now stronger than Hebei Hebei Industrial!
The chain store business, backed by Meigo.com, a strong parent company, will its future development be poor?
What's more, as I became the CEO of the chain store business department, my voice was much greater than before. Isn't it possible to realize many of my plans and ideas one by one?
...
The two sides agreed to have an interview the next afternoon, but Luo Jun was not idle for almost a day before meeting.
He first had an in-depth understanding of Meigou.com and carefully read all the information about Meigou.com on the Internet.
After watching it, Luo Jun had enough understanding of the two key figures of Meigou.com, Wang Ye and Xu Jing.
These two people will have to interview them tomorrow and determine their own destiny. How can you not understand them first?
In the past, I have been working hard on my own business. Although Meigou.com also makes cosmetics, Luo Jun has also known it, but one is a physical entity and the other is an Internet service. After all, there is still no business intersection.
Therefore, Luo Jun could only say that he had a little knowledge of Wang Ye, the soul of Meigou.com, before, but he didn't know much about it. Now after making up for some information, Luo Jun finally had a relatively comprehensive understanding of Wang Ye.
"This is the big shot!" Luo Jun sighed.
Chapter completed!
