The streets were bustling with people. After putting the two cousins on the train, Yang Dongxu drove to Millennium Supermarket. If you want to say what is the busiest thing in Hangzhou recently, it must be Millennium Supermarket and Carrefour.
Starting from the first store, the two supermarkets have opened three stores in Hangzhou, and the opening of each store heralds several days of discounts and more days of cheap sales. If there is any holiday, , and even held discounts on May 8 and June 8.
In short, during this period, the price level in Hangzhou was lowered by these two supermarkets. They opened at 7 am every day and lasted until closing at 7 pm. The two supermarkets facing each other were crowded with people.
In the past, some families who wanted to save money would ride a bike or take the bus to the suburbs to buy groceries when they got off work early because it was cheaper. Now, people from the suburbs go to the two supermarkets in the city.
Everyone who came out of the supermarket was carrying large and small bags of things, looking around as if they wanted to buy something or else they would suffer a loss.
"Why did you call me here?" Yang Dongxu drove around the back door and found Hu Dashan standing next to the warehouse arranging the loading of goods.
"I don't know if it's true, but I received a message today that the other side is planning to move out."
"Move?" Yang Dongxu turned around and glanced at the street opposite, where he could see a corner of the Carrefour supermarket sign opposite.
"The news is that the owner of the Carrefour supermarket has had a falling out with the agent who opened the supermarket. He is planning not to rent a house anymore. If he doesn't like it, he will ask the supermarket to move out. Otherwise, the store will be liquidated by force."
"Where is the news that there is such a thing?" Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows.
It stands to reason that supermarkets like Carrefour will not have such store disputes. Even if there are such disputes, as an international multinational enterprise, its own energy is not enough. As long as there is a little pressure, the local government will help solve this problem.
After all, this is foreign investment, and it is investing tens of millions of foreign capital in three large stores at once. If this dispute cannot be resolved, how will other investors view the investment environment in Hangzhou?
"The landlord of our store is friends with the landlord opposite. He called me to tell me the news. He said that he drank with his friend yesterday, that is, he drank with the landlord of the store opposite. The landlord opposite told him personally." Hu Dashan said. said.
In fact, at first he didn't agree with Yang Dongxu's practice of purchasing a store every time he opened a store, because this would more than double the cost of opening a branch.
Opening one store like this can sometimes be enough to rent a house and open three stores. But Yang Dongxu has always been strong in his work, especially in managing the company, and has never made mistakes in decision-making from the beginning to the present, so Millennium can only open a store like this.
At this time, it seems that although this approach puts a heavy burden on Millennium Supermarket, it still has benefits. At least you can make the decision for your own store and there will be no lease contract disputes.
Another point is that Millennium Supermarket is not only making money from the store's business, but the store is also making money invisibly. Although the house prices in the store have not increased much in recent years, they are indeed rising steadily.
"Do your business well. In the past few days, we will send more security guards in the store to ensure safety, and we will keep people on guard at night. Whether the news is true or not, we will know it in two days. Let's do our own business first." Yang Dongxu touched He touched his chin, and for a moment he didn't know why such a dispute came up.
"Understood." Hu Dashan nodded: "The new cash register system developed by Dongxu Technology has been tested in several stores and is ready to be popularized nationwide. However, this new system requires the purchase of new cash registers. The transaction method proposed by Xu Technology is to trade in old ones for new ones, and pay 500 yuan for each machine."
"You can discuss business matters yourself. Both of them are my companies. I can't mediate for you. The new cash register seems to be easy to use and worth the money, so I'll update it all. Millennium Supermarket's current capital chain is not Pretty healthy?
Even if the stores in Zhejiang Province continue to lose money for a while, they can still sustain it. If the capital chain is tight, or if you feel that it is not possible, then just refuse. If there is mutual benefit, cooperate with each other. If there is no benefit, then we will not cooperate. You are two companies, so don’t make things difficult for me. "
"This is very clear. Carrefour is not only opening stores in Zhejiang Province. In addition to stores in Yanjing and Shanghai, they are also planning to open new stores in Guangdong. According to the news, the local agent is Zhu Baicheng.
So even if we win here, the stores in Guangdong will probably have to engage in a new round of price war. At that time, we don’t know how much money will be spent. So I was thinking about moving Dongxu Technology’s payment collection time back. "
"As I said before, you can do whatever you want with the company. If you have this idea, go to Manager Ye and talk to him. But you said they are planning to open a store in Guangdong. I am concerned about the dispute between their store and the landlord. .
Maybe there was a flaw in the store here in Zhejiang Province that couldn't be solved for a while, and we blocked it so hard, so they prepared to change the battlefield. Where Zhu Baicheng is more capable, he can probably get a lot of discounts and continue to compete with us. Yang Dongxu said.
"We do not rule out this possibility. Guangdong is a big province, and its consumption power and economic prosperity are not comparable to other provinces and cities. If they can directly win Guangdong Province, then they will have the capital to fight us."
"Then prepare in advance, think of it as stocking up for the supermarket, and keep an eye on Zhejiang Province. If they really withdraw, arrange your work here, and then go to Guangdong to take charge.
Again, in cities like Shanghai and Yanjing, we can't squeeze them enough to open a store, but we must not give them any room for market share.
There is nothing they can do if they only open flagship stores. They want to occupy the market or even dominate the market. Let them go to bed early. China is not the China it used to be. Foreigners like them do not count in this land. "Yang Dongxu sneered.
"I will arrange it. One more thing. If we change the transportation plan to water transportation in the future, Miaoshan will definitely have to cooperate with Xiushui, so he wants to ask how to negotiate with Xiushui." Hu Dashan said As he spoke, he looked at Yang Dongxu's expression.
Now Xiushui cannot be said to be unattended, but since Dongzi resigned from Xiushui's management, Xiushui Company has been managed by others. Xiushui is engaged in transportation and shipping, which is undoubtedly a great supplement to the logistics system.
So when Miao Shan knew that Xiushui Trading and Yang Dongxu were also related, he thought about trying to get the two companies to cooperate with each other.
Of course, it is not that there is no intention of Miaoshan to merge the two companies into one company and become the boss. In this way, the logistics company will jump to several levels in an instant, and it will be the first in the country in terms of capital and scale.
"Xiushui will mainly engage in international trade in the future. This is compatible with the logistics system we are planning to build domestically, but there are also many things that are incompatible.
If the logistics company wants to carry overseas goods in the future, such as some foreign electronic products, it can approach Xiushui to discuss cooperation and outsource this business. For the time being, the two companies will perform their own duties and will not merge. "
Regarding Miao Shan's attitude towards asking Hu Dashan to inquire about him, Yang Dongxu did not hide it nor was he angry. Instead, he stated his decision directly to prevent Miao Shan from having to guess and feel uneasy.
"Okay." Hu Dashan nodded.
"After you have been busy for a while, wait until the retail market stabilizes. Give yourself a few days off to have fun and relax. You can choose from domestic and foreign products as a bonus." Yang Dongxu patted him on the shoulder.
"That's a good relationship. Since I became the manager, I rarely go out to play."
"It sounds like I'm abusing you. Now you go out to play with all kinds of beautiful girls and take the initiative to pounce on you. I think your life is better than before, okay?" Yang Dongxu teased.
"Girls used to take the initiative to pounce on me. I was so handsome when I was young." Hu Dashan flipped his hair shamelessly.
"By the way, my friend in Yanjing sent news that the National Development and Reform Commission seems to have made some big moves recently. If you have time, pay attention." After making a joke, Hu Dashan remembered that there was one more thing he had not discussed with Yang Dongxu. said.
"Do you know the specific actions?"
"Not very clear." Hu Dashan shook his head.
"Okay, I know." Yang Dongxu waved his hand: "Let's go, call if you need something."
After getting in the car and pondering for a while, Yang Dongxu made a call to Li Yihang. He had been in Yanjing and had not left, so he had better information.
When the phone was connected and Yang Dongxu's request was heard, Li Yihang asked him to wait while he helped find someone to inquire. During this time, he has been busy with the Internet cafe that Yang Dongxu suggested to him, so he didn't pay much attention to this aspect.
Just as he hung up the phone, the phone rang again. He looked at it and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He couldn't help but hesitated, "Hello, who is this?"
"Yang Dongxu, can you stop that woman from going crazy?" A roaring voice came from the phone.
This made Yang Dongxu feel cold when he answered the phone. He turned his head and looked at the phone number to confirm that it was an unfamiliar number: "Who are you?"
"Chu Fei!"
"What are you talking about?" He frowned, and several related figures, including Chen Xin, Yu Yi and Li Fuzhen, flashed through his mind.
"Li Li!" Chu Fei snorted coldly.
Even through the phone, Yang Dongxu could feel the anger that Chu Fei was gritting his teeth at.
"What does her matter have to do with me?"
Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment, and all kinds of information quickly flashed through his mind. He was silent for two or three seconds and said, "Did you find the wrong person? I'm not familiar with her!"
Huh... Yang Dongxu heard the sound of Chang Chang breathing on the phone. It was obvious that Chu Fei was suppressing the anger in his heart and sitting down to take a deep breath.
"Hold up on Li Qiang's matter. I will support you twice as much as I will on the damaged supermarket. As for the two supermarkets, they will continue to do business stably without engaging in price wars."
"When my supermarket was smashed before, you had a great time standing aside and watching the excitement. Now you want me to raise my hand? If you have the ability, find someone to run it. And the market in Hangzhou was originally built for the millennium. You Get a Carrefour to compete with me, now ask me for help, and even share my market, are you out of your mind?"
