Chapter 281 【Entering Petroleum Retailing! 】(Ask a monthly pass!)

Wu Guangyao not only invited the Queen of London to cut the ribbon for his first new ship built in London; then he also invited the Queen Mother (Queen’s mother) of the London royal family to cut the ribbon for the second new ship built in London. ; The third ship is Princess Margot, and the fourth ship is the Prime Minister’s wife.

The influence of the world-class ship king is so huge!

Different from Bao Yugang’s low-key, Wu Guangyao enjoys a great reputation in the world shipping by virtue of the ‘Jeddah Agreement’ ‘400 Million Dollar Plan’!

In addition to the titles such as ‘Zipper King’, ‘Electrical King’, and ‘Diamond King’, they have long been a target pursued by the media of various countries.

[PS: Later in the autumn of 1971, in the first-class train from London to Plymouth, opposite Bao Yugang sat a London gentleman. The gentleman took the initiative to chat with Bao Yugang.

"Are you Japanese?"

"I am a Chinese, to be precise, I am a Chinese on Hong Kong Island."

The gentleman immediately expressed great interest and chatted with Bao Yugang. When he learned that Bao Yugang was engaged in shipping, the gentleman immediately asked:

"How many boats do you have?"

"A little bit, I can’t remember the exact number clearly!"

The gentleman was shocked, and I couldn’t remember how many ships it was.

"Are there as many ships as Mr. Onassis?"

"Probably there is! There may be two brothers-in-law, Onassis and Niags, and the combined ships are about the same!"

London gentleman stared at Bao Yugang, as if he had discovered a new world, blurted out and exclaimed: "The real ship king is on Hong Kong Island, not in Greece!"

This gentleman is Sir McLeeho, who will be the 26th Governor of Hong Kong Island, so Bao Yugang and Meleho have a very close relationship.

Bao Yugang is so low-key because the western media has always paid little attention to Chinese people, mainly because these Chinese businessmen have no lace news to dig; Onassis and Niags are different, the two frequently change their glamorous female partners, and one is even more important. He took the widow of the President of the United States, and the other married the daughter of the car king Ford.

Therefore, Chinese shipowners rarely report in the Western media, and these media seldom know about these shipowners. 】

Wu Guangyao and Bao Yugang, Dong Yunhao are low-key and slightly different;

The main reason is that it is difficult to keep a low profile. After all, at the end of the 1950s, it had a fleet of 5 million tons, which Onassis could not match. In addition, companies such as the "Zipper King" and "Electronics Giant" enjoyed reputation. Enough to make Wu Guangyao a guest of all countries.

After the   cocktail party, I returned to my home in London and it was warm again; Wu Guangyao was also used to this, having a home in London, a home in Tokyo, and a home in Hong Kong Island.

"Small!" Wu Guangyao muttered.

Kayla heard it, anxious! He said in a bad tone: "It's too small, if you haven't touched it, just say it's too small!"

Wu Guangyao was taken aback, and then laughed; Kaila saw Wu Guangyao getting worse, so he got an inch, and immediately jumped up.

"Obviously it is big, you can't feel it, it seems you should live in London more!" Kayla put Wu Guangyao's hand into her clothes and said seriously.

"I mean we are going to change a manor, this villa is too small, you want to go there."

Kayla was very embarrassed when she heard it, and then she untied Wu Guangyao's pants in anger.

The next day, Wu Guangyao followed Kayla to Metro headquarters.

As a listed company, Metro’s headquarter is located in the business center of London, and it has chosen the top three floors of a building;

Wu Guangyao likes to work in high-rise buildings, but there are few high-rise buildings in London; so Kayla searched all the high-rise buildings in London and chose the best place to please her man.

"BOSS, Mr. Wu!"

The two passed by the staff's office, and everyone greeted each other.

When he came to Kaila's office, Wu Guangyao naturally sat in the main seat, and Kaila's secretary quickly added a chair beside him.

This little secretary-general is really good, Wu Guangyao has the idea to second him to his command!

Of course, just think about it. A secretary who can’t even speak Chinese can only do it.

chatted with Kayla for a while, the little secretary reminded: "BOSS, Mr. Wu, the meeting time is up!"

Metro's middle and senior management gathered in the meeting room.

Metro Group is currently divided into three parts of business, one is retail business, the other is chain catering, and the new petroleum retail business.

Listed is Metro’s retail business, including Metro Supermarket and Metro Convenience Store, as well as several chain stores acquired.

The McDonald’s fast food chain, which is a subsidiary of Metro Group, is not listed.

The original history of McDonald’s was registered in the United States in 1955, but in this life, this golden arch is a subsidiary of Metro Group.

In 1952, Metro was registered in the United States and opened the first McDonald's; during the same period, KFC also registered in the United States that year.

As a cross-identity person, even if he has only eaten KFC and McDonald’s dozens of times in his previous life, he can copy it perfectly in this life.

There is no secret recipe for food, just find some chefs, it is easy to develop top delicacy (junk food); the real advantage is the management of later generations.

If you want to quickly occupy the market, you must use the trick of ‘join’; therefore, at this time, McDonald’s fast food has more than 500 stores around the world, and directly-operated stores (flagship stores) account for about 35%.

McDonald’s only allows individuals to join (businesses are not allowed to join), and the franchise fee is relatively high, and part of the franchise fee is used to open direct stores.

Relying on this model, McDonald’s fast food restaurants occupied the European and American markets in only 6 years.

Left-handed retail and right-handed chain catering. In recent years, Metro Group has risen and become the target pursued by various financial consortia in London.

"Who is in charge of the oil business?" Wu Guangyao unceremoniously grabbed Kayla's limelight and spoke first, completely casual.

After all, Metro Group has been established for so many years, middle and senior management all know the relationship between Wu Guangyao and Kayla, and they also know who the soul of Metro Group is.

"Mr. Wu, it's me. My name is Charlie. I just came to the company for three months. I am very happy to meet you!" Charlie was relaxed and he could see a little skill.

The reason why Wu Guangyao guessed this way is because of Geinwei Xiaobao’s words, ‘People who don’t know how to flatter must have real skills. ’

Maybe this sentence may not be all right, but combined with the current situation, it must be right!

Although Charlie was not chosen by Wu Guangyao, it was also recognized by Metro executives.

"I am also very happy to meet you, and I am very happy that you joined this great team! I hope you will bring your business philosophy to Metro and carry it forward." Wu Guangyao encouraged.

Oil business is the third business that Metro is preparing to enter. The specific operation is to open a gas station next to each Metro supermarket and store.

In this era, customers who visit supermarkets basically have cars; therefore, large supermarkets must consider parking lots, and they can also start oil business.

You should know that Tesco (Tesco) is the largest independent oil retailer in the UK.

In the beginning, Tesco opened a gas station next to every supermarket, and later became the largest independent oil retailer in the UK, accounting for 15% of UK oil sales.
