We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Chapter 304 FamilyMart Convenience Store

"Onii-chan, don't you have work when you come back this time? Why do you take me to eat and drink every day? Will this affect your work?"

In a convenience store in Saitama Prefecture, a little girl about 15 years old expressed her worries to a man who was obviously almost a round older than her.

It was summer vacation. It was nice to have her brother take her to eat, drink and have fun, but she didn't want to be punished for delaying her brother's work just because of herself.

The brother touched the girl's head with pleased eyes and said happily, "Accompanying my precious sister is my most important job."

The clerks and resting customers in the store all smiled heart-warmingly when they saw this warm scene, and some looked envious.

Wearing a brand name, he still has a mobile phone that is the symbol of successful people in his hand, and he has time.

Who wouldn’t envy such a life when you are young, rich and have time?

What they don't know is that this man is working now, but he has his own ideas and can play both work and play.

The man's name was Naoki Sawada. He graduated from the Law Department of the University of Tokyo two years ago. Later, he accompanied his friend to an interview with Far East Group, which changed the trajectory of his life.

Accompanying his friend to the interview, what he didn't expect was that his friend failed, but he was greatly appreciated by the interviewer.

Originally, he planned to work in his hometown of Tokyo, but the interviewer told him that if he chose Far East Group, his friends could also be admitted together.

He has no interest in using his own wishes to achieve the happiness of others. This is not a matter of life and death.

Sawada Naoki, who rejected Far East, persuaded his friend Ichiban to start his own interview journey.

But here comes the cruel thing: the shop of the girlfriend who has been privately engaged for life accidentally catches fire.

Although I had insurance, I lost most of my savings, and most importantly, my neighbors were affected.

Looking at his girlfriend who was worried about money every day, Naoki Sawada finally gave in.

Because he asked so many companies that were satisfied with him, only Far East Group was willing to advance his salary for two years because he applied for special talent treatment.

Fortunately, the ending was happy. After this incident, his girlfriend's father was very satisfied with him. The two got engaged soon, and now they are less than half a year away from their wedding.

Originally, Naoki Sawada wanted to give his girlfriend Matsuko a home before getting married, but the salary for the past two years had already been advanced.

He and his girlfriend spent their living expenses on Hong Kong Island using his girlfriend's salary and his bonus, so their living expenses can only be said to be okay.

As for buying a house, forget about it.

But this time Sawada Naoki saw an opportunity, and he felt that his plan to buy a house could be realized.

Three days ago, Jason, the vice president of the group, his immediate boss in his department, and the boss of the legal department, suddenly came to their investment and M&A department and gave them an urgent new task.

Is the task difficult? For top students and elites like them, it's easy. The only difficulty may be the time limit.

Due to time constraints, Jason told them that employees who made significant contributions to their outstanding performance would receive a reward of HK$20 from the group and would be rated level one in the year-end assessment.

This made Naoki Sawada full of fighting spirit, and he was promoted and paid properly.

Although HK$20 may not be enough to buy his ideal big house, the down payment is enough for decoration.

In addition, he will have a salary starting from this year, so paying off the mortgage is a piece of cake for him.

There is also a first-level rating assessment at the end of the year. Far East Group’s annual assessment for the following employees is divided into five types, with level one being the highest and level five being the lowest.

The first level means that those with vacant positions will be promoted first and the group will focus on training, while the fifth level means those on the edge of being eliminated.

If an employee is rated a Level 5 two years in a row, then sorry, this job is not suitable for you.

Far East Group has a set of systematic assessment standards, which are not based on performance. In Luo Nianzhong's words, "Performance is very important, but I value an employee's thinking and creativity, moral character and loyalty more."

In this way, Naoki Sawada and his party came to the island country. On the first day, Naoki Sawada, like everyone else, went from city to county to inquire about the situation of convenience stores to see if any local chain brands were interested in selling them.

Unfortunately, the results were not good. Either the store owners were unwilling, or the number of stores was too small, only two or three.

After a tiring day, Naoki Sawada thought that since he was back, there was no reason not to go home and see his parents and sister.

Naturally, the whole family was overjoyed to have their son, who would basically settle in Hong Kong Island, come back.

Naoki Sawada told them about his work and living conditions, and also talked about some of the customs and customs of Hong Kong Island. Finally, he talked about the purpose of his return this time.

Because I was in a hurry and didn't know where I was going next, I didn't call home to let me know, which also caused complaints.

"Onii-chan, why do you have to acquire a small convenience store chain? Isn't it said that your company is very big? It should be very rich, right?
I think FamilyMart, which opened a store in Tokyo in the past two years, is very good, and their oden is loved by many people."

The speaker has no intention but the listener has the intention. His sister Tong Yanwuji's question made Naoki Sawada stunned for a moment and then his eyes lit up.

Yes, the reason why the superiors ordered the acquisition of small regional convenience store chains is because negotiation alone is a problem for national convenience store chains, and the various acquisition procedures are conflicting in time.

However, national Lawson and 7-11 cannot do this, which does not mean that medium-sized convenience store chains that are seeking development but lack funds cannot do this.

The acquisition is not said to be wholly owned, but the same is true for joint ventures. The Far East side has completed the strategic tasks required above, and the other side can obtain sufficient funds for development. Isn't this the best of both worlds?

"Mai, you should be on summer vacation now, right? My brother will take you out to play tomorrow, okay? Let's go to the FamilyMart where you said the oden is delicious."

"Really? Won't this delay Onii-chan's work?". Although Mai was very happy, she was still afraid of delaying her brother.

"It's okay, just play for two days and then you have to study hard at home.

If you can do a good job with your homework after brother is finished, I will take you to Hong Kong Island Disneyland, okay? ".

"Yeah, I've wanted to go for a long time. Don't worry, I can definitely do it."

In this way, Naoki Sawada took Mai to visit the surrounding counties and cities for two days.

When I'm hungry or thirsty, I go to the whole family to sit down and simply eat some instant noodles and the special oden that Mai mentioned.

After two days of getting to know Naoki Sawada, the whole family realized that it was founded by Seiyu, a supermarket chain under Seibu Department Store.

In 1981, he became independent and ran his own business, which was basically ignored.

Convenience stores were introduced to the island country in the 60s, but it was after the s that convenience stores in the island country developed rapidly.

Once the economic bubble burst and people had no money, fast food in convenience stores became the first choice.

Furthermore, the aging population of the island country is serious, and many elderly people cannot cook alone. This is also a major reason.

Now, with two national chains, Lawson and 7-11, the convenience store industry, which is not very profitable, naturally cannot attract the attention of the parent company Seibu Department Store.

Sawada Naoki thinks this is a good opportunity. Regarding the price, the group has already made it clear that there is no problem in giving Seibu Department Store a satisfactory price. Whether it is an acquisition or capital injection, we can negotiate.

In terms of the number of stores, FamilyMart already has nearly 200 stores in the Kanto region. With the capital of Far East, FamilyMart can fully expand nationwide based on the Kanto region.

Another point that Naoki Sawada attaches great importance to is that FamilyMart has begun to deploy fast food, which coincides with the concept of 724 convenience stores, which already have a lot of experience in this area.

With FamilyMart's oden and rice balls combined with 724's Chinese lunch boxes and a large number of semi-finished instant meals, Naoki Sawada has a hunch that this will definitely set off a bento revolution in the island country.

Then in terms of management, the details of the island convenience store can create sparks just like the innovation of the 724 convenience store.

It was a match made in heaven, and Naoki Sawada could already see the prize waving at him.
