I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Guangyao's family office is simultaneously pursuing Starbucks, Home Depot, and Best Buy, and Wu Guangyao is not idle, and is helping Qingxia who has fallen into unrequited love.

In 1972, Qingxia developed feelings for Qin Han because of her co-production of "Outside the Window", but because Qin Han was married, it was not tolerated by social etiquette;

This year, Qingxia went to the United States to escape her relationship, and happened to be met by Wu Guangyao.

The so-called secularism restricts ordinary people. For Wu Guangyao, there is no problem;

Of course, the premise is to capture Qingxia's heart and let him fall into the trap of Lao Barou;

Wu Guangyao doesn't look old. A man in his 40s is the peak of his appearance (for Wu Guangyao), the period of rising career, and the period of explosive charm.

On the first date (dinner appointment), Wu Guangyao was not aggressive at all, just like the boss of a film company, who has taken a fancy to a potential actor;

But in fact, Qingxia has already fallen into the trap, it's just that the hunter Wu Guangyao is too smart!

Qingxia also knows some rich people, but compared with the people in front of her, it seems that those people are all country people;

The person in front of him is not pretentious in anything, he looks very ordinary and indifferent, but he can always feel a kind of dignity from him and around him.

In this way, a pleasant dinner date is over!

 …

On the route from Los Angeles to Seattle, Boeing 747 private jets are flying in the stratosphere.

Schultz swears that this is the most unforgettable thing in his life!

Looking at his boss's private jet, Schultz only felt that the rich man in his impression had collapsed;

Those rich men in my impression seemed to be only richer than myself, compared with this one, they were really nothing!

"Visit at will!" Wu Guangyao said generously.

Schultz said thank you, and started to visit casually on the first floor, but stopped at the first floor, and had no intention of going to the second floor;

"The second floor is also optional!" Wu Guangyao saw Schultz's worry, and invited again generously.

Schultz shook his head with a smile and sat down on the sofa;

Seeing this, Wu Guangyao didn't force it, but planned to talk about business!

"After we acquired Starbucks,

To establish a strong brand image; therefore, direct marketing is the best choice, and "franchising" should be a forbidden word for Starbucks. "

Schultz felt that his boss knew a lot about direct sales and franchising. Although he was still thinking about it, he also felt that the boss's ideas were very unique!

In this era, the best way to expand is to join or franchise, with the purpose of quickly occupying the market, to strengthen the brand's popularity; but the idea of ​​this boss is just the opposite, it is undoubtedly an 'alternative'!

"Boss is worried that the franchise stores will not be able to provide the same products and services as the directly-operated stores?"

Wu Guangyao nodded!

Later generations have never heard of Starbucks having a franchise store. It is obvious that this strategy is correct!

It may be harsh to say that Starbucks is a high-end coffee brand, but it is what it is;

A Ruixing Coffee in China used capital to expand wildly, and finally collapsed suddenly;

These people regard the operation of coffee shops as a game of capital, and they have not immersed themselves in making products at all!

Schultz said worriedly: "But if you want to expand quickly, how about funds?"

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "In the beginning, I invested in it. As long as you make Starbucks famous, we can continue to raise funds; even if the shares of the two of us are diluted, as long as our philosophy is the soul of Starbucks, then we are absolutely the controller."

Schultz felt relieved for a moment, because he was afraid that his boss would value the shares too much!

Wu Guangyao directly packaged all the Starbucks concepts he knew in his previous life to Schultz, so as not to worry about this matter all the time;

Although Starbucks hadn't negotiated an acquisition at this time, Wu Guangyao was not worried at all that Starbucks' original team would not sell it!

Los Angeles to Seattle is 3,500 kilometers away, and it takes less than five hours to fly;

As for the acquisition negotiation time, it took only 3 hours, and the Starbucks team lost under 6 million US dollars;

In terms of asset value, the four Starbucks stores will not exceed US$3 million;

But Wu Guangyao didn't want to waste too much time!

"Mr. Schultz, starting today, you are the president of Starbucks, and you have the absolute leadership of Starbucks!"

"Thank you boss for trusting me. I will use practical actions to show that you did not choose the wrong person!"

Leaving several family office auditors behind to conduct an asset audit of Starbucks, Wu Guangyao returned to Los Angeles on a private jet the next morning.

 …

Good news keeps coming one after another, and Yuan Tianfan also has the latest negotiation results!

Bamario accepted an investment of 8 million US dollars from the "Guangyao Family Office", and the family office got a 35% stake and two director positions on the board of directors.

On the phone, Wu Guangyao listened to Yuan Tianfan's report in detail!

Best Buy was not willing to accept investment from an Asian family at the beginning, perhaps because of the overwhelming self-esteem of Americans;

However, Yuan Tianfan took Lenovo Group as a banner and said that if the investment fails to achieve results, Lenovo Group will join hands with all Japanese electronics companies to invest in a home appliance and consumer electronics chain store in the United States.

At the same time, Yuan Tianfan tempted that if Bamario accepts the investment from the 'Guangyao Family Office', it will gain a new retail model of home appliances, which is enough to change the trend of the entire industry.

This business model was naturally taught to Yuan Tianfan by Wu Guangyao;

A very simple business model, operating each branch under the concept of "super store", providing a more complete selection of products;

It is to open a "super store" in a city first, and then use the "super store" to radiate branches throughout the city.

After some coercion and lure, the Bamario team finally accepted the investment and introduced a new business model.

"Yes, things are done very well! You lead the team to familiarize yourself with Bamario, and Daniel and He Liyu will be assigned to hold the two board seats!"

"Yes, boss! I will organize Best Buy's specific situation and future business strategy into a document as soon as possible, and show it to you for your review!"

Yuan Tianfan's words won Wu Guangyao's favor. Although he didn't have time to control Best Buy, he at least knew the company's operations like the palm of his hand.

As if thinking of something, Wu Guangyao said to Yuan Tianfan: "I have another idea, you can get the advice of Best Buy's board of directors: that is, the company canceled the commission-based sales model and introduced the business philosophy of self-service discount stores, so as to completely It changes the company's traditional retail methods and provides consumers with more autonomy and space in the shopping process."

On the other side of the phone, Yuan Tianfan quickly took notes, and after hanging up the phone, he began to think seriously;

"The boss is worthy of being the God of Management!"

 …

Home Depot was established in 1978, less than half a year after its establishment, and the first batch of three stores are still under intensive preparation;

The three founders did not expect that investors would come to their door so soon. Coincidentally, opening three stores at the same time consumed a lot of money;

In the end, the "Guangyao Family Office" won 15% of the shares for 3 million US dollars!

Although 15% of the shares is not too much, it was very difficult to win. Wu Guangyao is also satisfied!

Besides, I know that Home Depot will use a lot of financing to expand in the future, and I still have opportunities;

Setting the target at 25% of the shares is still achievable!

So far, the Wu Guangyao family has acquired part of the shares of the three brands of Starbucks, Bamart, and Home Depot!
