Chapter 704: Attention
At present, several vice presidents of Hengyu Supermarket Group are still developing markets in Southeast Asia, and only Li Xuelan and Liang Bohua, vice president in charge of finance and administration, are at the headquarters.
Li Guangyu asked Gan Qin to inform Li Xuelan and asked her to arrange for the group to hold a high-level meeting at five o'clock to deal with the upcoming opening of Carrefour and Wal-Mart.
At the same time, Li Guangyu also asked Gan Qin to inform Li Xuemei, Ye Jiexin, chairman of Jiayi TV Station, and Li Mingji, chairman of Xiangyu Daily, to attend the meeting.
This time he needs to fight with Carrefour and Wal-Mart again, as long as these two supermarket groups are defeated this time, the market here will be completely stable in the future.
These two supermarket groups have always been the leaders of supermarket retail among the private enterprises in the previous life, and none of the supermarket groups can challenge them to get a position.
Moreover, the owner of Wal-Mart supermarket has been on the list of the world's richest people several times, and even after the division of shares, several members of his family are frequent visitors to the world's richest list, which shows the profitability of the supermarket group.
As the second-ranked Carrefour is not inferior to Wal-Mart, it has been firmly occupying the second position of the world's retail supermarkets, without giving any opportunity to challenge their position group, and Wal-Mart supermarkets are competing very fiercely in the Asian market.
Now that these two major supermarkets are the first and second in the future, even if the Li consortium is currently strong, it still needs to be dealt with carefully to avoid the market being robbed by these two groups.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Guangyu and Gan Qin walked into the conference room, and at this time, the senior management of Hengyu Supermarket Group and Li Xuemei and others were already sitting in the conference room, waiting for Li Guangyu's arrival.
Li Guangyu asked Gan Qin to introduce the situation of the two supermarkets in Xiangjiang, so that everyone could understand the situation that Hengyu Supermarket Group will face in the next Xiangjiang market.
Li Xuelan herself also received the news that Carrefour and Wal-Mart had settled in Xiangjiang, and she had to admire the courage of these two groups for wanting to compete with them in the location of their headquarters.
However, she doesn't think that her Hengyu Supermarket Group will lose to these two groups, and the decades of history of Wellcome Supermarket in Xiangjiang still let herself lead the two major supermarkets to close down. Carrefour and Wal-Mart have been defeated by their own groups in other regions, I don't know what their senior management thinks this time, they actually went to the Xiangjiang market to stir up the wind and rain, and wanted to come to compete with them for the Xiangjiang market.
After Gan Qin's introduction, Li Xuelan said: "Li Sheng, although the cooperation between Carrefour and Wal-Mart has brought a lot of pressure to our Hengyu Supermarket Group, I have confidence in our group, and I believe that they can only choose to close down and quit in the end, just like other Asian regions." ”
"It's good that you have faith, and I believe that the final victory will be ours. But you must not underestimate the Asian market, because in the past, the Asian market was because their Asian affairs president had limited power and could not mobilize too many resources. Now that the top leaders of the two sides have definitely reached some agreement, it will not be so easy in the future. You must know that the two of them occupy the North American market and the Western European market, and their strength is very strong, and they have a lot of experience in the supermarket retail field. Li Guangyu said.
Li Xuelan couldn't hold her head up because of Li Guangyu's words, she knew very well that Li Guangyu was saying this to her.
In the past two years, the development of Hengyu Supermarket Group has been too smooth, coupled with the fact that it is backed by the Li consortium and has unlimited financial support, so that they are not worried about the development of the group at all. When you encounter an opponent, you can just crush it with financial resources.
This time the opponent is not the same as before, whether it is Wal-Mart or Carrefour's financial resources cannot be underestimated, they have a huge market behind them. There is no need to worry about a temporary loss in a certain area, they have enough profit to fill the hole.
Li Xuemei, who is the head of the Li consortium Xiangjiang, said after Li Guangyu's words: "Everyone must attach great importance to the arrival of Carrefour and Wal-Mart this time, and this is also a rare opportunity. In the future, our Hengyu Supermarket Group will definitely expand to the Americas and Europe, and then there will be a fierce competition with them. ”
Li Xuemei knows very well that the Asian market will definitely not be the end of Hengyu Supermarket Group, and the group will definitely expand to North America and Western Europe in the future.
As for saying that Carrefour and Wal-Mart want to grab the Xiangjiang market in their hands, it is simply a fantasy, Hengyu Supermarket Group has not been weakened to that point, and the Li consortium has not declined to that extent.
Once they used a tragic price war to beat Wellcome once, they dared to use the same way to carry out the second time, compared to financial resources, the Li consortium will not be afraid of these two groups.
You must know that Xiangjiang is their home field, and if it is captured by Carrefour and Wal-Mart, there is no need for Hengyu Supermarket Group to exist.
Li Xuelan immediately said: "Our group will be careful to deal with the arrival of Carrefour and Wal-Mart, and at the same time, we will also pay attention to the shortcomings we still have compared with each other, and make up for it in the future to strengthen the strength of our group." ”
Li Guangyu said: "This time, you pay attention to the time of their opening, and at the same time, the Spring Festival is approaching, our Hengyu Supermarket Group and Watsons under Hutchison Whampoa have offered a 10% discount to retain our customers. At the same time, in terms of service, you must be strictly supervised. ”
Li Guangyu didn't want the situation of his last inspection to repeat the situation that would only send customers to Carrefour and Wal-Mart.
Li Xuelan immediately assured: "Li Sheng, please rest assured, since the last time, our group has strengthened the inspection mechanism, and at the same time trained and rectified the service attitude of employees, in the future, we will continue to strengthen the supervision in this regard, so that customers will be satisfied with our service." ”
Finally, Li Guangyu asked Ye Jiexin and Li Mingji to increase the publicity of Hengyu Supermarket Group and Watsons in the media, especially the publicity of this event, so as to retain customers.
Ye Jiexin said: "Li Sheng, our TV station will conduct a special report on Hengyu Supermarket Group and Watsons in the near future, so that the citizens of Xiangjiang can more recognize our supermarket group. ”
Li Mingji also responded to the Xiangyu Daily will increase its coverage of Hengyu Supermarket and Watsons to expand the influence of the two supermarkets.
After the meeting, Li Guangyu specially approved Hengyu Supermarket Group 10 million Hong Kong dollars for charity expenses in Heung Kong this year, so as to expand the group's influence.
Li Xuelan said: "Li Sheng, I will make good use of this fund, I believe that our group will not let Carrefour and Wal-Mart's calculations succeed, their purpose is obviously to drag our energy in Xiangjiang, they can expand in other regions." While we maintain the Hong Kong market, we will stabilize our other markets in the Asian region and allow the two groups to exit the Asian market. ”
Li Guangyu knows very well that it is unlikely that the two supermarket groups will completely withdraw from the Asian market, especially in the mainland market in the future, where their own groups will not be able to occupy it at all, and these two major groups will definitely enter.
However, they don't think about the Xiangjiang market, Li Guangyu will not let these two groups gain a firm foothold in Xiangjiang.
