Chapter 129: Huang Yuguang's Ambition

  Huang Yuguang looked at himself with some confusion, and Mo Shaokun smiled lightly and said: "It's just a casual chat, Mr. Huang doesn't need to have any worries."

  Everyone says so, Huang Yuguang can't hide it either. With a hint of frenzy in his eyes, he said: "My dream is to make Huamei the strongest home appliance sales company in China and even globally!"

  After saying that, Huang Yuguang's face showed a hint of self-mocking smile and said: "Of course, I know this is very difficult, even impossible."

  "That's not necessarily true." Mo Shaokun smiled, as someone who had been through it all, he was very clear that Huang Yuguo had indeed done it. With his own hands, he had developed Hua Mei into the largest home appliance chain in the country. If it weren't for what happened in the end, perhaps he really could have developed Hua Mei into a world-class enterprise!

  Huang Yuguang stared blankly at Mo Shaokun, clearly he hadn't expected Mo Shaokun not to scoff at his impractical idea! Huang Yuguang had expressed similar ideas to more than one person before, but every time those people heard him, they would advise him to give up on such unrealistic notions and just focus on making a decent living. Even the people closest to him thought this way!

  Huang Yuguang was not reconciled, he didn't think he was inferior to anyone! Others can start from scratch and finally succeed in standing at the top of the pyramid, why can't Huang Yuguang?! Gradually, he stopped telling his dreams to anyone, and hid all this deep in his heart. In his view, even if everyone in the world doesn't look good on him, at least there is still himself who firmly believes that he can do it!

  After a brief astonishment, Huang Yuguang looked at Mo Shaokun with a serious expression. From his clear but profound eyes, he could see that the person in front of him was not just pretending to be kind to him. At this moment, Huang Yuguang suddenly felt a deep sense of emotion, as if he had found a kindred spirit.

  "Alright, let's get down to business. Can you first introduce me to your Huamei Electronics?" Mo Shaokun leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table as he asked.

  Huang Yuguo nodded, slightly contemplative as if organizing his words, and then said: "So far, Hua Mei has a total of ten stores in Kyoto, with the largest being over 200 square meters and the smallest being over 100 square meters. The monthly net profit is around 2 million yuan."

  "What ideas do you have for Hua Mei's future development?" Mo Shaokun asked again.

  When it comes to the matter, Huang Yuguang's expression also became much more serious. He said: "Originally I wanted to cooperate with Sunday Shopping Supermarket, but obviously they looked down on me. However, the appearance of Sunday Shopping Supermarket has given me a feeling of sudden enlightenment. Before, I just thought that opening more branches would attract more customers. But now I think that having only quantity is far from enough, it also needs scale!"

  Mo Shaokun nodded and said, "Many branches can indeed attract more customers, but due to the small size of individual stores, it is difficult to make a name for themselves. Moreover, such small shops do not require too much capital, with the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for home appliances has increased dramatically, it can be imagined that soon there will be countless similar small shops like Huamei, in this situation, Huamei's competitiveness will be slightly insufficient."

  "Yes, actually I had thought about making some changes a long time ago, but just couldn't grasp the key point. Until recently, when Sunday Supermarket's advertisements were everywhere, I vaguely sensed something, but at that time, Sunday Supermarket's Kyoto store hadn't opened yet, so I personally went to Anping to experience it. I have to say, Sunday Supermarket really shocked me, and at that time, I was thinking whether I could also do a similar large-scale home appliance supermarket like Sunday Supermarket?"

  He sighed and said, "But I don't have the strong financial resources like Sunday Department Store, so opening a big store like this is not something I can afford. That's why I thought of cooperating with Sunday Supermarket, but in the end, a small shrimp like me still couldn't enter their eyes."

  "Having a large home appliance store is a good idea, first it can establish the brand image, secondly it will make customers feel more secure, thirdly with many brands and complete categories, it will save customers from having to go around comparing prices, no matter what their needs are, they can be met in one stop. But relying solely on these is far from enough, the home appliance industry is different from department stores, the most important thing for the home appliance industry is not just selling things out, but also providing after-sales service!" Mo Shaokun said.

  Looking at Huang Yuguang staring blankly at himself, Mo Shaokun smiled and said: "Let me give you an example. Same price, same brand, but one dealer can provide free on-site installation, while the other dealer does not have this service. Which one would you choose to buy from?"

  Huang Yuguo's eyes lit up slightly, but he shook his head and said: "Your idea is good, but it's not very realistic. The profit margin for home appliance sales is not high, if we give away the installation fee, the profit will be too low."

  "Heh, providing these services will lower your profit margin, but at the same time, you'll also sell more than your competitors. Boss Huang is a shrewd person, and I think you understand the principle of small profits but quick turnover. Moreover, with performance comes the bargaining chip to negotiate prices with suppliers. Do you think suppliers would treat an agent who sells 100 units per year the same as one who sells 1,000 units per year?" Mo Shaokun said in a low voice, actually these were all things Huang Yuguang had pioneered before, he just brought them forward by a few years, so that Huang Yuguang wouldn't have to take those detours.

  As expected, after hearing Mo Shaokun say this, Huang Yuguang slapped his forehead and said: "Ah, I see! Such a simple truth, how come I didn't think of it? Mo Shao, you not doing business is really a waste!"

  "Who says I don't do business? Isn't that why I'm looking for you today to discuss cooperation?" Mo Shaokun smiled.

  Huang Yuguo was slightly stunned, then looked at Mo Shaokun with some doubt and said: "Mo Shao, if you have something to say, just say it directly."

  In Huang Yuguang's view, he is clearly not qualified to cooperate with Mo Shaokun. With the other person's identity and status, if they want to find someone to cooperate with, many people are willing to come forward, what can Huang Yuguang do?

  "Well then, I'll be straightforward - I want to invest in your Hua Mei Electric Appliances."

  "Ah?" Huang Yuguang was stunned. This... this is a great thing, with such a powerful person joining the company, many things will be easily resolved.

  "Don't rush, I have my conditions, the controlling stake must be mine! In other words, I must own at least 51% of Huamei Electric's shares." Mo Shaokun stared at Huang Yuguang, his tone measured and deliberate. However, he was also uncertain whether Huang would agree, after all, based on his understanding of this Huang Daheng, he was not only a very astute businessman but also a very ambitious one - would he agree to let someone else control the company? That's hard to say.

  "This..." As expected, Huang Yuguang's eyebrows furrowed slightly in hesitation upon hearing the words. Mo Shaokun investing in this was a huge opportunity for both him and Huamei, to the point where even if Mo Shaokun didn't contribute a single cent, Huang Yuguang would still be willing to give him 20 or 30% of the shares - after all, his identity was worth that much.

  Now Mo Shaokun wants to take control, which makes Huang Yuguang somewhat unwilling. Hua Mei is his career, it's the brand he created with hard work, how can he let others take over?

  "Of course, in return I can provide you with a bank loan of no less than 200 million to prepare for the home appliance grand sale. At the same time, I can guarantee that the company's normal development will not be hindered by any artificial factors." Mo Shaokun looked at Huang Yuguang and said.

  It seems that Mo Shaokun's cooperation method has really taken advantage of the situation. The 200 million provided to Huang Yuguang is a bank loan that needs to be repaid by the company in the future, which means that Mo Shaokun doesn't have to spend a single penny but can still take away 51% of the shares for free.

  But Huang Yuguang knew that some things couldn't be judged by appearance alone. Firstly, a loan of 200 million was not something that just anyone could get, at least he, Huang Yuguang, didn't have the ability to do so. Now that the home appliance market had just recovered, taking a step ahead would mean being one step ahead! If they had an injection of 200 million in funds at this moment, the benefits for Huamei were self-evident, and he even had confidence that within a short period of time, he could turn Huamei into the number one brand in home appliance sales.

  And compared to these two billion, what is truly the most valuable is Mo Shaokun's identity! Nangong Old Master's adopted grandson? The person who can make Nangong Old Master acknowledge as his adopted grandson will not be an ordinary person, right? It can be said that just having Mo Daxiao's name is enough to make Huamei's development path smooth and unobstructed!

  "Huang Zong, I know Huamei was founded by you and it's hard for you to let go. However, I can promise that even if I have the controlling stake, the company's development will still be led by you."

  "Are you sure about that?" Huang Yuguang asked hesitantly, raising his head. He couldn't help but be attracted to Mo Shaokun's identity and status, as well as the 200 million funds. If Mo Shaokun really wouldn't interfere with the company's affairs, Huang Yuguang thought it wasn't impossible to consider, after all, this was a rare opportunity for Huamei and him. Even if he lost control of the shares, he would still gain unimaginable benefits.

  "Of course, to be honest, I don't have the interest or time to get involved in the company's daily operations. And, Director Huang, you're a smart person, you should be very clear that someone like me is not suitable to be in the front line, so I can guarantee to you that as long as it's not related to major decisions that affect the survival of the company, I won't interfere with your work. No matter how brilliant the company's achievements are in the future, the one who will be in the spotlight and receive all the credit will be you, not me."
