At half past eight in the morning of October 23, Li Xuelan came to the Li Building in advance to attend the press conference in the first press conference hall on the second floor.

Because Hengyu Supermarket Group starts at half past nine in the morning and closes at half past nine in the evening every day.

Today will be the day when Hengyu Supermarket and Watsons will adjust their prices in a comprehensive manner, so she needs to hold a press conference to inform the citizens of Hong Kong.

The press conference will be broadcast live on the integrated channels of the three major TV stations in Hong Kong, so that more citizens can understand this information.

This time, the senior management of Hengyu Supermarket Group did not announce the price adjustment in advance, but also worried about triggering a new round of rush to buy, once the public knew in advance that the price would be adjusted, they would definitely take advantage of the current price is a little cheaper to carry out a large number of stockpiling.

After Li Xuelan stepped onto the press conference stage, she said to everyone: "Thank you for coming to attend this press conference jointly held by Hengyu Supermarket Group and Watsons, I only represent Hengyu Supermarket Group and Watsons this time. ”

Subsequently, Li Xuelan gave a detailed explanation of the adjustment of the sales prices of the two major supermarkets, and announced that the two major supermarkets would fully implement the new sales prices today.

For the price adjustment of the two major supermarkets, these reporters and Xiangjiang citizens had expected it, but what they didn't expect was that this adjustment would come so late.

Due to the decline in the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, some small supermarkets have raised prices in the early stage, and only Hengyu Supermarket and Watsons have maintained the original price supply, which forced Carrefour and Wal-Mart to choose to withdraw from the Hong Kong market, which can be seen how much loss there is.

As the two largest supermarket groups in Europe and the United States, whether it is Wal-Mart or Carrefour, its strength is very strong, if it is not for the fact that there is really no profit and there is a very large loss, how can they be willing to give up the Xiangjiang market.

As the two major competitors of Hengyu Supermarket Group, they will not give up taking root in Hengyu Supermarket until they have to.

After all, it is impossible for Hengyu Supermarket and Watsons to operate at a loss, after all, Hengyu Supermarket Group and Watsons are companies, and they also need to make profits to develop, and their employees are waiting for them to pay their salaries.

A reporter from Xiangjiang Economic News asked: "Miss Li, due to the exchange rate, we can understand the price adjustment of imported goods, in the past month, Hengyu Supermarket and Watsons have made contributions to Xiangjiang for all to see, in this round of crisis, your two supermarkets have made great contributions to the stability of Xiangjiang's material supply." Now that your supermarket's two major competitors, Wal-Mart and Carrefour, have chosen to abandon the Xiangjiang market, I wonder what your Hengyu Supermarket Group's plans are in the future?"

Li Xuelan said with a smile: "We also regret that Carrefour and Wal-Mart chose to withdraw from the Xiangjiang market at this time, and I do not comment on their practices in this round of crisis." Next, we Hengyu Supermarket Group will continue to increase the layout in Southeast Asia, and at the same time increase the deployment of our logistics company to ensure the distribution of our products. ”

At a time when Xiangjiang needed sufficient daily necessities and stable prices, these two groups chose to withdraw from the market, and they were afraid of difficulties if they wanted to enter the Xiangjiang market again in the future.

This time, although Hengyu Supermarket and Watsons suffered a lot of losses due to the exchange rate, they won the trust of the citizens of Xiangjiang and stabilized their market in Xiangjiang.

Although Hengyu Supermarket and Watsons have done quite well, some people are still complaining before the TV series.

Since it was a Sunday, many of the staff had just eaten breakfast and watched TV with their families.

In one family, an old lady complained: "Hengyu Supermarket and Watsons are also true, today the price will be raised without a few days of notice, I also want to buy more in advance, now the price has been raised, such an opportunity has slipped away." ”

A middle-aged man said: "Mom, you can be content, the two supermarkets have allowed us to enjoy the low price for nearly a month, if it weren't for Li Sheng and Li's senior management to maintain the stability of Xiangjiang's materials, I'm afraid that the price would have risen last month, and you don't know how much the small supermarket not far from us rose last month." ”

Although her son's words are reasonable, the old lady is still not happy, the exchange rate has fallen, and all kinds of prices have risen, but the wages of her son and daughter-in-law have not risen, and after this consumption increases, they can save even less money.

"Contentment, we don't have to live, we don't have to eat, now the exchange rate has fallen, even the price of vegetables is going to rise, so we can enjoy a few months of imported cheap vegetables, and now it is estimated that the price will go back." Everything else has risen, so why don't you see your company giving you a salary increase. ”

As soon as the old lady's words came out, the middle-aged man did not dare to answer, now the property market is still at a low ebb, as a technician engaged in the construction industry, he is now able to keep his current job, and he also expects the company to raise wages, the current market is really unrealistic.

The middle-aged woman next to him said: "Mom, you don't have to worry, I believe that the economy of Xiangjiang will be better, due to the decline in the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar, the price of many materials has risen, our company is already considering increasing the wages of employees, and it is estimated that the new wage system will be officially implemented next year." ”

After listening to her daughter-in-law's words, the old lady stopped complaining, her daughter-in-law worked in the Li Foundation, but she didn't work in Hengyu Supermarket Group, and the old lady was very happy that her daughter-in-law could increase her salary.

It's a pity that her son didn't work in the Li Foundation, otherwise she would definitely be able to increase her salary this time, even if she takes her grandchildren at home every day, she still knows a lot of information, the Li Foundation is definitely a rich master, and it is also very good for employees, in the same industry, the salary given by the Li Foundation is the highest in Xiangjiang.

The main thing is that many of the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate declines are still a bit big, and the most important thing is that many of the demand in Hong Kong is imported, and if the exchange rate falls, the cost of living in Hong Kong will rise, and their wages will not change, which will lead to an increase in their living pressure.

The employees of the Li consortium are cheering, and the major groups have issued notices that from January next year, the group will implement a new wage system to increase the wages of employees and ensure that the living standards of employees are not affected.

Li Xuelan didn't know the complaints of individual citizens in front of the TV, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care too much, after all, the group wanted to make a profit, and she wouldn't do such a loss-making business.

As the press conference continued, one of the reporters asked, "Miss Li, what your supermarket group has done this time is not quite in line with your identity, is there any force here that compels you to do so?"

Li Xuelan looked at the reporter who asked the question, it was a newspaper in France, and it was estimated that it had a lot to do with Carrefour.

"You all know that our Hengyu Supermarket Group was established in Xiangjiang, developed in Xiangjiang, and maintaining the stability of Xiangjiang is also the wish of our entire Li Foundation, this action is decided by Li Sheng and the top management of our Li Foundation, no force will interfere with the business activities of our group, Xiangjiang is a legal society, as long as the enterprise abides by the laws of Xiangjiang, there will be no force to interfere with the operation of the enterprise. ”

"For example, Carrefour in your country, during this period chose to withdraw from the Xiangjiang market, and there is no force to interfere with its decision, how to operate is our own choice, and please do not send out some non-existent things. ”

Li Xuelan is very clear about the other party's intentions, which is to hit the current prestige of Hengyu Supermarket Group and Watsons, and at the same time want to drag the entire Li consortium into the water.
