Regardless of whether it's wrong or right, although what you Yang Dongxu said sounded a bit exaggerated to Bai Qian's ears. But she is obviously not an ordinary person. She has some understanding of the management and operating models of some domestic or foreign companies.
Therefore, although what Yang Dongxu said sounds very exaggerated, there is indeed room for maneuver. Of course, you can't just set up a shell company, if you really plan to enter the cosmetics industry.
Apart from anything else, we must have our own production base. If conditions permit, we must also set up an independent research laboratory. Although OEM is now used, or the production is left to other factories, it is enough to build and maintain the brand yourself.
But after all, she is used to working in the real industry, so such an operation seems hollow to Bai Qian. I always feel like there is a hollow under my feet and I feel uneasy.
Of course, this is all for later. Although Yang Dongxu suggested that she choose the cosmetics industry, it is not impossible to choose other ones from the three goals she set before. In terms of her career, she will ask Yang Dongxu for advice, but she will make her own decision whether to do it or not.
"What happened when you were kidnapped last time?" Bai Qian, who had her own ideas, did not continue to discuss this matter with Yang Dongxu, but asked about another matter that she was concerned about.
In fact, Yang Dongxu had told her about this matter on the phone before, but she was always a little worried before he asked her clearly in person. And although this incident has passed for some time, the aftermath has calmed down.
"I don't have any specific clues yet, but there must be a black hand operating behind it. As for whether this black hand is the people who invested in chips before, or other people I have offended over the years, I can't be sure yet." Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows. For a moment.
In fact, he has been paying attention to this matter, and Du Fei's original trip to the Middle East was postponed because of this matter. Specially responsible for investigating this matter, even Wu Aibing participated, and Yang Dongxu also quietly used all the connections he could use.
But the other party seemed to disappear suddenly, and the clues ended directly on the kidnapping case. No matter how much he searched, he couldn't find any clues.
This undoubtedly became a thorn in his heart. After all, only a thief can be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days. If he doesn't find out the mastermind behind it, he won't be able to sleep well.
"Recently, the higher authorities have dealt with a few more people involved in the chip incident," Bai Qian said.
A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Yang Dongxu's mouth, "Why, are you here to beg for mercy?"
"Someone said hello, but I didn't agree." Bai Qian didn't pay attention to the mocking smile on Yang Dongxu's face, because she knew that the smile was not for her, but for those who were involved in the chip before.
"It's right not to agree, even if my kidnapping case hadn't happened this time. Those involved in the chip incident would have been given an advantage if they were sentenced according to the law." Yang Dongxu sneered.
"I know this. I'm just saying this to remind you that it's best not to make trouble recently. Of course these people have to be dealt with, but as one of the parties involved, you are also hated by many people." Bai Qian reminded .
"I understand the importance clearly." Yang Dongxu nodded.
Although I really want to clap my hands and put on a Wong Feihong posture, hook my fingers at these people, and let them all come together without fear. After a confrontation, he could still say lightly: "There is no one who can fight."
But the time to start the war is obviously very wrong. Any turmoil before the change of leadership may be exploited and turned into a major event beyond control.
So at this time, even though he was angry, he was not afraid of those involved in the chip incident. But during the period before the change of leadership, it is the most correct choice to stay safe and be the grandson.
In short, a smooth transition is an unshakable prerequisite. Whoever jumps out to cause trouble at this time will get no good results. Another group of people involved in the chip incident were dealt with.
Although on the surface it seems to be related to his kidnapping, in fact it is just an excuse. It's possible that the bosses above noticed some discordant noises, so they used these people's waste to scare the monkeys.
After all, the time for the change of leadership is approaching, and the overall situation must be stable at this time.
...
The overall political situation needs stability, but the business economy is in full swing. For example, this year in addition to the gaming industry that has been criticized, and the real estate industry that continues to be booming.
Other domestic industries are also blooming, and the one that Yang Dongxu is undoubtedly concerned about is the retail industry. Let’s not talk about the invasion of the domestic market by international giants Carrefour and Wal-Mart.
In China alone, Millennium was not the only retail giant from the beginning. Gome, Hualian, China Resources Vanguard, Suning, RT-Mart... In short, even without the invasion of foreign retail giants. The domestic retail industry is also fiercely fought by princes.
Especially in the past two years, even though Millennium has taken the lead in spreading out across the country. But as other companies stabilized their bases and penetrated surrounding markets, everyone began to stare at the meat in other people's bowls.
Yang Dongxu, who was the first to attack, thought it was Gome. After all, they were now outsmarting Suning, and they had no domestic rivals in the electrical appliance industry. And in the past two years, it has taken advantage of its existing stores across the country to start to align with large comprehensive supermarkets.
But the wary Gome didn't attack, while Hualian, who didn't pay much attention at first, came out from the side. Everyone likes to call Hualian Supermarket Magic City Hualian.
But in fact, Modu Hualian is just the predecessor of Hualian Supermarket, and now it belongs to Jinan Hualian Company. Compared with the layout of Millennium Supermarket in commercially prosperous CBD areas, high-end residential areas and other chain stores, they occupy seemingly the most fertile areas in the retail industry.
Hualian Supermarket found another way and did not go to the city center or to a high-end residential area because it would be too costly. Moreover, the housing prices have soared in the past two years, which has made his capital chain to open a branch even tighter.
His layout only goes straight to the stations, especially railway stations and large bus stations. I don’t know since when you can always see a Hualian supermarket, it is either big or small. But no matter what, the Hualian Supermarket brand seems to have spread all over the country overnight.
Whether it is at a train station or a bus station, it is generally recognized that the prices for buying things are extremely high, especially for drinks and the like. If you don't buy it in advance, you will definitely get ripped off.
Hualian Supermarket took a fancy to this opportunity and directly suppressed the prices that had been driven up near the station. Buying here is no more expensive than buying elsewhere.
Such a move instantly caused tourists entering the station to flood into Hualian Supermarket. Especially when Hualian suddenly opened a local specialty counter, it became even more popular.
After all, things are not expensive, so it feels quite honorable to bring back some local specialty products when you go home from other places.
So originally Yang Dongxu was going to call Lei Jun to Yanjing and focus on the real-name registration of mobile phone numbers. As a result, Hu Dashan and Zhang Tianming arrived first.
"We will open 200 stores in three months and plan to open 1,500 stores in one year. This plan is really ambitious." Looking at the detailed information about the expansion of Hualian Supermarket brought by Zhang Tianming. Yang Dongxu rubbed his chin and looked at the two of them: "What do you think of this matter?"
Hu Dashan glanced at Zhang Tianming and signaled her to tell her, and Zhang Tianming nodded gratefully. This action made Yang Dongxu pause for a moment, wondering what was going on between the two people.
In fact, nothing happened between the two of them. Hu Dashan was shocked when Hualian suddenly appeared at first, so he found Zhang Tianming and asked him to take the initiative to collect detailed information about Hualian's sudden expansion.
While discussing with Zhang Tianliang about taking the blame, Hu Dashan did not have the habit of passing the blame. And he has regarded the shares of Millennium Supermarket as his inherited family business.
Therefore, the better Millennium Supermarket develops, the richer his family fortune will be. Zhang Tianming is undoubtedly more suitable to be the CEO of Millennium Supermarket than him, and he is a person who can help him earn more family business.
Therefore, unlike other leaders who would take the blame when something happened, he decided to take the initiative to take the blame. He still understands Yang Dongxu. He seems cold and ruthless, but he is actually nostalgic for his old feelings. The sudden appearance of Hualian was certainly due to his negligence and did not prevent the other party from expanding.
But this matter is very big when it comes to big things, but it is just like that when it comes to small things. Yang Dongxu has never been afraid of competitors, so if he takes the initiative to take responsibility, the most he will receive is a few words of reprimand, and his shares will not be moved. If the shares don't move his, it means no loss to him.
Hu Dashan's initiative to take responsibility undoubtedly moved Zhang Tianming, so the two of them had a drama about Lin Xianghe.
Then Zhang Tianming analyzed the situation for him, which made Hu Dashan even more impressed and more determined that Zhang Tianming was indeed more suitable for the position of CEO.
After Hu Dashan received Zhang Tianming's explanation, he could actually show his face in front of Yang Dongxu and show off his talents. Although this was Zhang Tianming's idea, as the majority shareholder of Millennium Supermarket, Zhang Tianming obviously didn't dare to have any objections to it.
But Hu Dashan's character is obviously very good, and the previous Lin Xianghe did not do one thing in front of others but another behind the scenes. Therefore, Zhang Tianming felt very sober when meeting an old boss with such character.
"I think Hualian is not in great danger. Our main goal is still to focus on Gome and Carrefour." Zhang Tianming said.
"Oh?" Yang Dongxu looked at Zhang Tianming with interest.
"Targeting the station this time is certainly a good card played by Hualian, but although this card is very good, it also has limitations. Millennium is a large comprehensive supermarket. And there are residents near the station, but they still cannot compete with the office workers and high-end people in the CBD. Compared with the purchasing power of residents in the community.
The most purchased products at the station are some snacks, instant noodles and other products. When the other party is ready, they can add some fruits at most. As for vegetables, meat, etc., it’s okay to make specialty products. It is not the least bit difficult to get involved in daily necessities for home life. "Zhang Tianming said.
Yang Dongxu couldn't help but nodded silently.
I have to say that making Zhang Tianming the general manager of Millennium Supermarket is indeed the most correct choice. When I heard that Hualian suddenly expanded and seemed to be trying to catch up with Millennium Supermarket.
Yang Dongxu was also shocked because he was very familiar with the Hualian Supermarket brand. When RT-Mart and others could only linger in the city, Hualian Supermarkets opened to the small towns below.
However, after being surprised, he quickly calmed down, because although Hualian's rise was very powerful, the initial confidentiality work was also done very well. At the end of the day, large-scale stations across the country opened at the same time.
But just because he knew Hualian's existence, he also had a general understanding of Hualian's business model. For example, although Hualian was very good in the previous generation, its model had limitations as Zhang Tianming said.
At least in big cities, Yang Dongxu has heard of Suning Mall and Gome Mall, but Hualian seems to be an ordinary supermarket from beginning to end. Shopping malls have not been developed, and large-scale stores have almost no reputation. All brand value lies in supermarkets.
Therefore, he is someone who has been there and understands that it is normal for Hualian, which seems to be a big threat, not to pose a threat to Millennium Supermarket, which has always been a large-scale supermarket. But Zhang Tianming, as a person in authority, could actually see this directly. His personal talent has undoubtedly been raised to a higher level in Yang Dongxu's heart.
"How's it going at Carrefour?" Yang Dongxu said.
Knowing Hualian's business model, he naturally knew that Gome seemed to be the closest to Millennium in terms of strength, but it was not a big threat. Because in a few years Lao Huang will enter.
Therefore, compared to Gome, the rising threat of Suguo is actually greater. As for Suning, it focuses on home appliances, although it will definitely also get involved in large stores later. But the main focus is still on home appliances and Millennium Supermarket is not a real competitor.
Therefore, the biggest threat to Millennium Supermarket now is Carrefour, and even Wal-Mart has to lean back. Because Wal-Mart's model is destined to only survive in first- and second-tier cities, it is unable to spread its tentacles across the country.
But Carrefour is different. This is a real hungry wolf with capital and fighting capacity. Although I know that the final victory must belong to me.
But a few years later, when Carrefour committed suicide and exited the domestic market, people were skinny when they came in and were already fat and oily when they left.
And Yang Dongxu obviously didn't want to watch the other party leave in a mess after making so much money, but actually he had made a lot of money.
"After being blocked by us last time when they went south, they have been consolidating the market in the north and second-tier cities during this period. But I got the latest news that they are planning to open ten stores at once in Shenzhen, Guangdong and other places." Zhang Tianming looked solemn. : "Every store is planned to be located opposite our supermarket."
"This is because you are not convinced by losing, and you want to try again." Yang Dongxu said with a sneer.
"We, the Millennium, are not afraid of anyone." Zhang Tianming said confidently, and then changed his tone: "If you are afraid, you are afraid. The other party is taking advantage of the fact that it is a foreign company."
"That's a question." Yang Dongxu nodded: "What do you think of this matter?"
"Big policies are nothing. Even if the country wants to develop its economy rapidly, it cannot be too biased towards foreign investment. We are just afraid that during competition, the other party will label us as disrupting the market and then bring a group of foreign companies to protest."
