Chapter 172 Long-term investment
The supermarket is big, well decorated and the environment is also good.
Compared with those state-owned department stores, the gap is very obvious. The key is that all the products here are selected, rather than placed inside the counter through glass.
As early as two or three months ago, when Yang Fan and Yang Fang were chatting together, they once said that a supermarket he saw in the United States had already used computers widely. If Hongtai Supermarket also used computers fully, that would be great.
The speaker is unintentional, listens to intentional.
Last month, Yang Fang and Xie Guoqing also went to the United States. This was their third time abroad in their lives, with the main purpose of visiting supermarkets in the United States.
The first time I went to the United States was two years ago, in 1985. I had a lot of effort. Now the policies have been looser, and the procedures for going to the United States last month were obviously much smoother.
After returning, I followed suit and began to get closer to American supermarkets and absorbed some of their business models, including the use of computers.
When Yang Fan walked in with Jiang Yan, he saw four or five cash register computers lined up. His eyes lit up and he was slightly surprised.
I thought to myself, my sister is quite fast, she really uses computers.
In the United States, computers are widely used in supermarkets, and even a complete and huge database has been established. Everything has begun to be informatized. In China, Hongtai Supermarket is definitely the first to start using computers in supermarkets.
Not bad, really good!
Seeing this scene, Yang Fan nodded with satisfaction.
I also know in my heart that my sister is slowly transforming, no longer what she was like a few years ago, but is improving every year and gradually becoming a strong woman in the business world.
This is a newly opened supermarket. It has a large area and a large variety of products. The business is naturally very good. There are long queues at the cashiers and several cashiers are busy.
Jiang Yan also said: "Brother Fan, the business here is so good. Sister Fang is really amazing. She can do the business so well and so big."
Yang Fan smiled and took Jiang Yan into the supermarket, and began to buy what he needed. While selecting the goods he needed, he also observed carefully.
Before rebirth, Yang Fan was used to modern supermarkets. Now, while choosing things, he compared the gaps with modern supermarkets and where there are still areas that need improvement and improvement. When there is a chance, he will tell Yang Fang.
Except for large items, such as TVs, washing machines, bicycles, etc., you can basically buy all other things here.
Yang Fan chose a few towels, a washbasin, two enamel cups, several bowls, a pressure cooker, a wok, as well as chopping boards, kitchen knives, etc.
There are more than a dozen things in total.
The shopping cart is basically full.
Hongtai Supermarket has shopping carts, which is a pioneering move in the eyes of many citizens. In fact, this is Yang Fan’s suggestion, so every supermarket has shopping carts and shopping baskets.
"Brother Fan, it's not bad." Jiang Yan reminded.
Yang Fan nodded, and felt that it was not much different. Some things that were missing were still missing. I came here to buy them next time. Anyway, it was impossible to buy them all at once.
Just buy all the things slowly.
Even the owner behind this supermarket, Yang Fan is very low-key and never shows off, even Jiang Yan doesn't know about it for the time being.
So, like other consumers, they push shopping carts to queue up to check out, and the things are not expensive, very affordable and cheap.
I spent dozens of dollars to buy something like this, and I was still very satisfied.
The only time I had a little regret, I didn’t see my sister or my brother-in-law.
After paying the bill, put the things in the Yangtze River 750 motorcycle. Such a three-wheeled motorcycle is good, which can carry people and transport things.
After transporting the things back to the new house and put them down one by one, Yang Fan sat on the sofa in the living room with satisfaction, turned on the TV, and prepared to take a rest.
Jiang Yan also sat down next to Yang Fan.
"Brother Fan, Sister Fang's supermarket is really good. I heard that she has opened several supermarkets in total."
Yang Fan nodded, "Including the one we went to today, there were twelve supermarkets in total, basically spread throughout Donghai City."
"Wow, Twelve Houses!"
Jiang Yan was secretly shocked and admired him secretly, thinking to himself, Sister Fang is really amazing, she has done her business so big.
Yang Fan thinks today is an opportunity.
Since the two are married, there are some things that should not be hidden. So Yang Fan said truthfully: "You may not know that Hongtai Supermarket was opened by me and my sister, and I account for 70% of the shares..."
Say the matter briefly.
If you suggested that Yang Fang open the first small supermarket, the capital was not enough, so you first gave two thousand yuan, and then gave several thousand yuan in several times, telling the basic situation of the start-up capital at that time.
After listening, Jiang Yan was surprised!
To be precise, she was a little scared.
After a long time, she came back to her senses, digested and accepted the matter, she said excitedly: "So, I am the boss of the supermarket."
Yang Fan smiled and said, "Yes, you are the boss's wife."
Jiang Yan was very happy and transformed into a little money fan. "Brother Fan, how much money do we have now?"
Yang Fan and the other two of them were together, "I saved more than 2,000 yuan myself. As for the supermarket, I rarely ask about it. I really don't know how much money I made."
This is the truth.
Yang Fan really didn't ask how much money the supermarket made, but at the end of each year, Yang Fang would tell Yang Fan about the situation in the supermarket.
Yang Fan didn't take too much attention. He focused on the design and construction of the 052 ship, which is Yang Fan's career.
I originally wanted to tell Jiang Yan that in Citibank, I still have a lot of stocks, all bought in Yang Fang's name.
As early as two years ago, Yang Fan told Yang Fang about the more than 400,000 US dollars and asked Yang Fang to take it out, almost buying stocks of several large American companies.
These stocks will be long-term investments. Yang Fan knows if there is no need to do enough, it will definitely be a huge profit, which is much more cost-effective than placing money in the bank.
Last year, when Microsoft went public, Yang Fang went to the United States and not only inspected the supermarket situation in the United States, but also purchased some of the Microsoft shares in accordance with Yang Fan's requirements.
In 1986, Microsoft was listed on the Nasdaq market, with assets of only US$2 million at that time, just reaching the minimum listing threshold for the Nasdaq small market - limited assets of US$2 million.
The stock began to be listed publicly, with a stock price of US$21 per share, raising a total of US$61 million. By July 1999, Microsoft's market value had reached US$500 billion, surpassing General Motors and becoming the largest company in the world.
Yang Fang bought a total of 10,000 shares of Microsoft stock for each share of US$21.
It is conceivable how well these stocks will appreciate in the future!
These things are limited to Yang Fan, Yang Fang and Xie Guoqing, and they are not informed of them for the time being.
Yang Fan strictly keeps confidentiality in many things, and even the importance of confidentiality is never shown off, and he repeatedly explains Yang Fang and Xie Guoqing to try not to involve him in business.
Therefore, the legal person of Hongtai Supermarket is Yang Fang, not Yang Fan, and the stocks he bought in the United States are also Yang Fang, not Yang Fan.
If you take it step by step, when the conditions are more mature, you will definitely tell Jiang Yan.
When Jiang Yan heard that Yang Fan owned 70% of Hongtai Supermarket, he was very excited and said jokingly that when one day she didn't want to work in Donghai Second Clothing Factory, she would go back to Hongtai Supermarket to be the boss's wife.
Yang Fan smiled, knowing that this was probably a joke.
......
I had two days off and felt good.
Not only did I buy some daily necessities, I also went out with Jiang Yan to relax, go shopping, watch movies, and taste snacks.
Donghai City has several old streets with a century-old history, which are very prosperous. There are many old restaurants. The two of them have had some fun and ate a lot of delicious food.
When he knew his husband's family, Jiang Yan was not so worried when he spent money.
The two also bought two bottles of good wine for Jiang Dahai and pulled a few feet of flower cloth for both Li Xiuzhen and Jiang Dan, which made them very happy.
Today, Yang Fan started working.
I entered my office early and sat down in the seat. Soon, Zhao Yulan came in and chatted with Yang Fan.
She revealed that the segment manufacturing of the Donghai Shipyard was smooth, the first segment has been underway, and the second and third segments have started construction at the same time.
So fast!
Yang Fan felt a surprise in his heart.
Of course he was happy to see the first ship being built smoothly, and hoped that it would be completed earlier and launched earlier.
I stayed at the Land Joint Measurement Experiment Base for more than ten days, which means I haven't been to the Donghai Shipyard for more than ten days. After hearing what Zhao Yulan said, I really wanted to go there to take a look.
So, he picked up the phone and called Chen Shaohua.
First, I asked about the progress of the construction of the 052 ship, and then I specifically mentioned that I wanted to go to the Donghai Shipyard to see the specific construction situation.
Chen Shaohua agreed with such a request!
He knew that Yang Fan had gone to the land joint commission and thought he had not come back yet. He had long wanted to invite Yang Fan to come and take a look, and intentionally solicited Yang Fan's opinions and exchanged the construction method of the modular section of the 052 ship.
"I'll come here to pick you up right away." Chen Shaohua said enthusiastically.
Yang Fan said: "No need, I'll come here now. Just wait for me in the sectional manufacturing workshop."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come." Chen Shaohua said.
That's all.
Yang Fan stood up and was about to go to the Donghai Shipyard. He also told Zhao Yulan that he asked for a car in the small car shift, but Wang Wei drove it and soon took Yang Fan to the Donghai Factory.
Enter the segmented manufacturing workshop.
Yang Fan first saw the first segment of nearly half of the manufacturing process, and also saw the second and third segments that began welding.
Then, I saw Chen Shaohua with a warm and smiling face.
.....
Chapter completed!
