The next morning, Li Guangyu specially came to Hengyu Supermarket Group, Xuelan Supermarket has been open in Vancouver for a month, and he also needs to have a good understanding of the current development there.

In his previous life, Li Guangyu was only a member of the bottom of the society, and he lived in a small inland city all the year round, and in the two years that he arrived in Shuangqing, the department stores and supermarkets he entered the most were also Yonghui and New Century, and he didn't know what Costco and Sam Club stores were.

In this way, the supermarket developed in the membership fee model, he didn't know exactly how it was, even he saw a lot of travel back to Xiangjiang and the mainland, there was no content in it, many of the protagonists were in the stock market and could easily make huge money, and there was no need to worry about local governments finding out that they were shorting the stock market, as for the supermarket, there was basically no content.

I once watched a great god, the content is mainly in the supermarket, and there is no such thing in it, and the other party is also similar to the Hengyu supermarket model, so that the backward e-commerce development can form a combination of online and offline models.

Li Guangyu doesn't know about this, so he is quite bottomless, and Li Guangyu feels that this company is estimated to not have much market in the mainland, at least it is impossible to open it in every county like Hengyu Supermarket.

Li Guangyu didn't know how powerful Costco was in his previous life, otherwise he wouldn't have such worries, this guy is just an ordinary person, not an all-knowing and all-powerful god, if it weren't for the fact that he saw more in Xiangjiang in his previous life, plus Baidu on the Internet, it would be impossible for the Li consortium to have such a scale of development as it is now.

Lee had no idea what Costco's market capitalization was at the time of his rebirth, and the retail supermarket was worth more than $100 billion, making it the second-largest retailer in the United States and the second-largest in the world, after Walmart.

If he knew, he would either immediately suppress Costco, which does not have much strength and fame, or buy it or take a stake in it.

Li Guangyu insisted that if the competition was not won, he would acquire, and if he could not acquire, he would buy shares, anyway, he didn't want to lose the interests of this area, and he learned the methodology of a certain group boss in his previous life quite well.

In the small conference room of Hengyu Supermarket Group, Li Guangyu, Li Xuelan, Gan Qin, the president of Hengyu Supermarket Group and several vice presidents discussed the development of Xuelan Supermarket.

Liu Weifang, vice president of the group and general manager of Xuelan Supermarket, reported to several people present on the development of Xuelan Supermarket Vancouver store this month.

She said: "Mr. Li, because our Li industry is still relatively influential in Vancouver, so our publicity is in place, more than 500 people signed up on the day of business, and the annual fee we charge is 63 Canadian dollars a year, which is equivalent to about 50 US dollars, which is slightly lower than the multi-year fee of Costco.

As of the end of last month, there were 2,636 members, and the membership fee income was 166068 Canadian dollars, which is equivalent to more than 125,000 US dollars.

Last month's turnover was about $860,000, and since the gross profit margin of our store was about 12%, not counting membership dues, we deducted various costs such as labor, storefront, water and electricity, and we lost nearly $20,000.

If you don't count the store fees, we make more than $13,000, and that's not counting my salary. ”

Now Liu Weifang's salary is 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars per year, which is equivalent to an annual salary of nearly 200,000 US dollars, and a monthly salary is about 16,000 US dollars.

You must know that the store chosen by Xuelan Supermarket is in the suburbs, and the land price is relatively cheap, Li Guangyu and they bought it and built it themselves, and Liu Weifang is just calculating the cost with a similar rent.

After listening to Liu Weifang's report, Li Guangyu said loudly: "I don't know what you think about the development of this model?"

As Chen Linwen, who proposed the establishment of this model of supermarket, he naturally did not want the membership store to be abandoned like this, he said: "Li Sheng, I believe that this situation is only temporary, only if we continue to publicize, and expand the number of Xuelan supermarkets to absorb more members, we will definitely be able to achieve very good development." ”

Zhao Chunmei, vice president who has returned to work at the headquarters from the United States, also expressed his opinion, although he is currently mainly responsible for finance and administration, but because he has worked in the United States for eight years, he has a better understanding of the model of Costco and Sam's Club.

She said loudly: "Mr. Li, I don't know much about the situation in Vancouver, but there is a Sam's Club in Los Angeles, which is very popular with the Los Angeles elite, and I personally think that the development of the club store is still very promising."

Although the current effect of Xuelan supermarket is not too ideal, mainly because our development time is too short, with our development, there will be more and more members in the future, and the turnover will continue to rise, plus membership fees, I believe that in the future, this sales model can occupy a place in the retail market. ”

Later, Li Xuelan also expressed her opinion, this supermarket is named after her, and she certainly hopes that this supermarket can grow and become another pillar of the Li consortium.

At present, the Li consortium only has a charitable foundation named after Cao Weiqing, Li Xuemei, and Wu Wen, and no one in the group and company named after her has enjoyed this honor except for the Xuelan supermarket named after her.

Only there is a possibility, and she would never want to see this supermarket disappear in the Li consortium.

After Li Xuelan's voice fell, Gan Qin said: "Li Sheng, I don't think we need to rush to judge this development model for the time being, plus the membership fee, we will not lose money for the time being, I suggest that the speed of developing a branch every month will develop for two years, if not, we will become Hengyu supermarket store, so there will not be too much loss."

If the development momentum is good, we can expand rapidly in large cities in Europe and the United States, whether it is financial, manpower, logistics, product prices, we have an advantage over Costco, we do not need to worry about competition with them. ”

Li Guangyu saw that everyone supported the continued development of Xuelan Supermarket, and he did not refuse, anyway, the loss in this area is only a drop in the bucket for Hengyu Supermarket Group, and it does not threaten the development of Hengyu Supermarket Group.

If there is really a prospect in the future, this is also a huge supplement to Hengyu Supermarket Group, and it can become an independent group when necessary.

Li Guangyu said: "Since everyone thinks that this model still has potential, then according to Gan Qin's meaning, the group should do a good job in supporting this aspect, whether it is financial resources, manpower, products, and logistics, to further reduce the operating costs of the supermarket, and at the same time increase the publicity of Xuelan Supermarket, absorb more members to join our Xuelan Supermarket, and at the same time improve our service quality." ”

At the same time, Li Guangyu advised the development of the group's upstream industrial chain, Hengyu supermarket sells tens of thousands of products, Hengyu supermarket group can not operate everything, and selects dozens of targeted products for self-management, which is also conducive to the development of the group.

Li Xuelan said: "Li Sheng, in the area of self-management, we are contacting manufacturers in Xiangjiang and Baodao to seek these companies to OEM for us, and relevant matters are currently being communicated. ”
