In order to convince Toshifumi Suzuki, Lin Haoran did not hesitate to tell him that he was planning to abandon Anton Allison.

He was not worried that Toshifumi Suzuki would inform Anton Allison about this in advance, because doing so would not do Suzuki any good.

After saying this, he didn’t say anything more.

Everything that needed to be said had been said. If Suzuki Toshifumi still refused to agree, Lin Haoran really felt that he had misjudged the person.

He was not surprised that Ito-Yokado had such loyal subordinates.

After all, he also has his own loyal subordinates.

Now, in order to poach this loyal subordinate from Ito-Yokado, he had a rare conversation with him.

If it were someone else, he wouldn’t take it so seriously at all.

He did this simply because Toshifumi Suzuki had talent that was worthy of his serious attention.

The office fell silent. It was obvious that although Suzuki Toshifumi was moved, he was still struggling inside.

He lowered his head and Lin Haoran couldn’t see his expression.

After a long time, Suzuki Toshifumi finally raised his head again, looked at Lin Haoran and said, “Mr. Lin, I have thought it through. I am willing to join your team and manage 711 for you wholeheartedly, but I hope you will let Ito-Yokado go and stop retaliating against him!”

“Of course, as long as Ito-Yokado stops provoking me, I can promise you that I will not target Ito-Yokado Company. But if they continue to commit suicide, you can’t blame me!” Lin Haoran said with a smile.

Just agree.

He finally recruited this talented person who made 711-Eleven the world’s largest convenience store brand. It wasn’t easy!

“Please rest assured, Mr. Lin, I will persuade Mr. Ito. He is a boss who is willing to listen. Ito-Yokado Department Store will soon stop targeting your company.” Suzuki Toshifumi said solemnly.

“In addition, Mr. Suzuki would be better off persuading the Ito family to sell the shares of 711 Japan Branch held by Ito-Yokado to me. I am willing to purchase it at the market price. After all, this is just one of the markets for 711 convenience stores. If he does not sell it, I don’t mind letting 711 Japan Branch temporarily stop expanding its stores and instead expand into other overseas markets, such as the neighboring Korean market, Taiwan market, Hong Kong market, etc. I think that would be great.” Lin Haoran continued.

Now that we have come to this, the next step is to completely turn the 711- convenience stores into our own use.

If the Ito family continues to hold shares in 711-Eleven convenience stores in Japan, and once 711-Eleven convenience stores develop to their full potential in Japan, won’t they be the ultimate beneficiaries?
Lin Haoran naturally wouldn’t allow such a situation to occur.

“Please rest assured, Mr. Lin, I will try my best to convince Mr. Ito!” Suzuki Toshifumi did not refute Lin Haoran’s words, but agreed.

“In that case, I won’t bother you anymore. I look forward to your good news and hope that our future cooperation will be smooth!” Lin Haoran stood up and stretched out his right hand.

Toshifumi Suzuki also stretched out his right hand, and the two hands were clasped together, representing that the cooperation between the two parties had been formally reached.

However, Toshifumi Suzuki has not yet resigned from Ito-Yokado, so Lin Haoran cannot see his loyalty.

Having said this, there is no need to stay here any longer.

So, after saying goodbye to Suzuki Toshifumi, Lin Haoran went downstairs.

When he came downstairs, he did not leave in a hurry, but walked into the 711 convenience flagship store on the first floor with interest.

This flagship store is called a convenience store, but Lin Haoran actually thinks it can be called a small supermarket.

There are many varieties and the layout is reasonable. Each area is neatly organized. From snacks, drinks, stationery to daily necessities, everything is available. Customers walk around and select the goods they need.

Lin Haoran strolled in the store, stopping from time to time to carefully observe the display of goods and the purchasing behavior of customers.

He noticed that despite the constant flow of people in the store, every employee appeared well-trained, smiled, and served customers quickly and accurately.

This efficient and warm service atmosphere may be one of the keys to why 711 convenience stores can win the favor of customers.

Lin Haoran nodded secretly in his heart, feeling satisfied with himself for buying the 711 convenience store brand.

From now on, numerous 711- convenience stores around the world will become sales channels controlled by him.

This is a stronger sales channel than Dairy Farm International.

Although Dairy Farm International is far ahead in the retail industry in Hong Kong, its strength is greatly reduced outside Hong Kong.

Therefore, the acquisition of 711- convenience stores is a very good addition.

After shopping in this flagship convenience store for more than ten minutes, Lin Haoran left the headquarters of 711 Japan branch with his bodyguards.

He should know the status of the negotiations between Suzuki Toshifumi and Ito soon.

In the current situation, it can be said that the Ito family has no choice.

After all, the entire Southern Company had been acquired by him, and even if Ito-Yokado wanted to resist, it couldn’t.

Looking for a backer?
Useless.

After all, today’s Ito-Yokado’s core business has long been the 711-Eleven Japan branch.

And the 711 brand has now fallen into Lin Haoran’s hands. What’s the point of looking for other backers?
Therefore, he was not worried at all that Ito-Yokado would reject his conditions.

After having a simple lunch at a nearby Western restaurant, Lin Haoran left Chiyoda District.

Sitting in the car, Lin Haoran successfully returned to the Landmark Building in the Ginza business district of the Central District.

The street in front of the building is still bustling with traffic.
The prosperous scene has not diminished in the slightest.

I don’t know when the snowflakes stopped falling quietly.

The snow on the streets also melted away under the embrace of the midday sun.

The car parked steadily in a parking space in the underground garage. A bodyguard opened the door. Lin Haoran got out of the car, quickly took the elevator and returned to the office on the 23rd floor.

He saw Anton Allison talking on the phone in a vacant office, apparently communicating with senior executives at Southern Company’s US headquarters and making preparations for the relocation.

However, Lin Haoran ignored him and walked directly into the office of Galaxy Securities’ Japan branch.

As for Anton Allison, the current CEO of Southern Company, Lin Haoran will certainly not allow him to continue to serve as the CEO of Southern Company in the future, but if he is willing to become Suzuki Toshifumi’s deputy, Lin Haoran is still willing to let him take the position.

After all, apart from anything else, being able to serve as the CEO of Southern Company is enough to show that he knows the current situation of the company very well.

If he is unwilling, don’t blame Lin Haoran for being ruthless and eliminating him directly.

He must not continue to serve as the head of 711-Eleven convenience stores.

At the Japan branch of Galaxy Securities, Lin Haoran learned about the morning’s results.

The trading volume of 711 Japan Co., Ltd.’s stock in Japan is not high.

After all, this is just a company listed on the second division of Tokyo Securities Company, and the so-called second division is actually somewhat similar to China’s New Third Board in later generations, both of which serve small and medium-sized enterprises.

The only difference is that the trading method in the second part adopts traditional bidding trading, which is similar to the main board but with wider price fluctuation limits.

In fact, investors prefer to buy companies listed in the first division, which are the real big companies in Japan.

Therefore, not surprisingly, among the pending orders for 711 Japan’s stocks, there are far more sell orders than buy orders.

In just two days, Galaxy Securities Co., Ltd. controlled 711% of 8.24 Japan’s shares.

In addition to the 35% stake held by Southern Company, Lin Haoran was not worried at all that Ito-Yokado would fight back in the stock market.

“In the afternoon, speed up the acquisition. I want to hold more than 15% of the shares today. The more the better!” Lin Haoran said directly.

The stock market value of 711’s Japanese branch is only about 15 billion yen, and % of the shares, converted into Hong Kong dollars, is only about million.

With such a small amount of money, Lin Haoran didn’t care at all whether they would raise the stock price.

Of course, it won’t work if you raise it too high, after all, he is not a sucker.

“Okay, boss!” As an employee of Huanyu Investment Company, the person in charge understood his boss’s needs very well.

After chatting with the other party, Lin Haoran left the Japan branch office of Galaxy Securities.

I glanced at Huo Jianning’s office, but there was no one inside. I guess he must have gone out to do something.

Lin Haoran didn’t care where Huo Jianning went. Instead, he returned to his office, took out a notebook and a pen, and started writing.

Red Bull, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Pampers, Tide, Nivea, Huggies, Colgate, Lay’s, Nescafé, L’Oréal Paris, Dove, Head & Shoulders, Olay, Crest, Safeguard, Gillette, Maybelline, Estee Lauder, Shiseido, Master Kong, Yakult, Lancome, Avon, Oreo, Snickers, Budweiser, Heineken, Danone, Kraft Heinz, etc…

One by one, famous fast-moving consumer goods brands from the previous life appeared on the paper in front of Lin Haoran.

To be able to become a world-famous fast-moving consumer goods brand, it must have its outstanding features.

Now, with 711, the future world’s strongest convenience store brand, and the mainland government’s demand for manufacturing, Lin Haoran decided to fully enter the fast-moving consumer goods market.

Fast-moving consumer goods are only a part of the manufacturing industry. He will not let go of other fields such as electronic products, electrical products, mechanical products and even automotive products, but he has to take one step at a time. Fast-moving consumer goods are obviously more suitable for sales channels such as 711- convenience stores.

Therefore, Lin Haoran now plans to start developing the manufacturing industry from the field of fast-moving consumer goods!
There were more and more famous brands on the paper, all of which were well-known brands from his previous life.

However, he does not know the current status of these brands.

He is relatively familiar with the fast-moving consumer goods brand Coca-Cola, because Huanyu Investment Company is now secretly absorbing Coca-Cola’s shares.

He already knew that Coca-Cola was not something he could absorb today.

However, in addition to Coca-Cola and Pepsi, there are countless other fast-moving consumer goods brands.

He just needs to write down these brands and give them to his subordinates to investigate.

Like Red Bull, Budweiser, Heineken, Nestle, etc., once the price is right, he will buy them all! (End of this chapter)
