After Li Xuelan hung up Chen Junhua's phone, she immediately came to Li Guangyu's office and reported to Li Guangyu about the supply price on the mainland.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Guangyu felt that he had decided to agree, after all, the mainland also hoped to make a contribution to the stability of Xiangjiang through this matter, so that the more than 5 million citizens of Xiangjiang would know that the mainland had not forgotten them and was always concerned about their production and life.

Li Guangyu said: "Your group has to do a good job of accounting, how much will the mainland lose this time, and then your Hengyu Supermarket Group will return to the mainland in the form of charity, this time it is our own decision, and they should not be allowed to pay for it." ”

After listening to this, Li Xuelan said: "Li Sheng, I will ask the financial department to do a good job in this regard, and when the time comes, we will help this fund to Guangdong Province in batches, and our Hengyu Supermarket Group will not make the slightest profit on this this time." ”

She knew very well that Li Guangyu didn't want to owe the other party favors, no matter what the reason, it was the Li consortium's own business for their supermarket group to do this, and they didn't need other companies and forces to pay for it.

The press conference held by the Li Consortium has had a great impact on all walks of life in Xiangjiang, and the Li Consortium has established a very good reputation in Xiangjiang over the years, so after the press conference in Ganqin, the frenzied efforts of the citizens who rushed to buy living materials at Watsons and Hengyu Supermarket Group have slowed down.

With the promise of Hengyu Supermarket Group, they do not have to worry about the sudden price guarantee, they do not need to go to the crowd anymore, and they can buy the items they need at the current price at any time.

The approach of Hengyu Supermarket Group and Watsons has made Carrefour and Wal-Mart very hurt, most of their products come from Europe and the United States, and with the fall of the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, they are preparing to make adjustments in the price, and the sudden press conference of the Li consortium caught them off guard.

What's more fatal is that their two major supermarket groups did not hoard too many goods, the three days of panic buying so that their supermarket shelves do not have many products, their purchase price with the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate falls, the cost rises, they do not raise the price of sales, many products will be loss-making operations, now they are in a dilemma.

You must know that they still have a huge problem is rent, and the biggest advantage of Hengyu Supermarket Group is that they basically have their own stores, and sometimes they don't consider this aspect of the problem, and their two major supermarkets cannot.

Whether it is Victor Beale, president of Carrefour Asia, or Oosford Jackson, president of Walmart Asia, they have a headache for Hengyu Supermarket Group's non-business approach.

At this time, when their major supermarket groups should have made a lot of money, the Li consortium will all have to operate at a loss, and no supermarket can benefit, which is not what a businessman should do.

In the afternoon, Victor Beale contacted the headquarters in Paris and asked for their opinion on the matter.

Unless they learn from the Li Consortium, it's just that the Li Consortium is based in Xiangjiang, and there are many other groups under their umbrella, and if they are damaged here, the benefits they have obtained can be made up in other aspects, and even if their Carrefour and Hengyu Supermarket Group continue to stalemate like this, it will not do them any good.

Many high-level executives of Carrefour Group suggested that they should take advantage of the rush to buy in Xiangjiang and clear all the goods in Carrefour's nine stores, so that Carrefour Group would withdraw from the Xiangjiang market, so as not to subsidize the Xiangjiang market every month.

How long will the Xiangjiang crisis last, Carrefour executives do not know, so it will be consumed with Hengyu Supermarket Group, but the loss will be an astronomical amount.

If they choose to raise the price and sell, then Carrefour's reputation in Xiangjiang will be completely ruined, and worse, it will affect their future entry into the mainland market, so it is impossible to raise the price.

After some communication, Carrefour's senior management asked Victor Beale to give up the Xiangjiang market, make every effort to develop the market in Southeast Asia and Australia, and wait for the opportunity to enter the mainland market.

Although Victor Bill was reluctant to give up the Heung Kong market, the headquarters had already made a decision, and he had to follow the instructions of the headquarters and prepare to close the store in Heung Kong.

He knew very well that after Carrefour withdrew from Xiangjiang this time, he was afraid that he would never have the opportunity to enter in the future, and Hengyu Supermarket Group and Watsons would not give them the opportunity to enter the Xiangjiang market again.

Wal-Mart also made the same choice, in Xiangjiang and Hengyu supermarket group so consumed, there is no benefit to their group, Wal-Mart headquarters asked Oosford Jackson, who is in charge of Asian affairs, to close the store in Xiangjiang market as soon as possible and focus on Southeast Asia and mainland China.

On September 27, Carrefour and Wal-Mart held press conferences to announce the closure of the group's Xiangjiang stores.

This news has caused a sensation in all walks of life in Xiangjiang, and there is no conclusion on who ranks first in the world's three major supermarket groups, Wal-Mart, Carrefour and Hengyu Supermarket.

At the beginning, Carrefour and Wal-Mart came directly to the nest of Hengyu Supermarket Group, ready to compete with Hengyu Supermarket Group, and all walks of life in Xiangjiang thought that the three would have a dragon fight, but they did not expect that it was less than a year, and the two major supermarkets announced their withdrawal from Xiangjiang, which disappointed the people who were ready to watch the show.

Hengyu Supermarket held a press conference immediately after the press conference of the two major supermarket groups, which was presided over by Zhu Lixia, general manager of the group's administrative department.

At the press conference, Zhu Lixia said: "Regarding the closure of Carrefour and Wal-Mart in Hong Kong, I hope that the people of Hong Kong do not need to panic, and we at Hengyu Supermarket Group and Watsons have the ability to meet the needs of the people of Hong Kong for daily necessities." ”

A reporter from Xiangjiang Economic News asked: "Miss Zhu, in the current period of time in Xiangjiang, Carrefour and Wal-Mart, two world-class supermarket groups, choose to close their businesses at the same time, what do you think of Hengyu Supermarket Group, and what do the senior management of the Li Consortium think about this?"

"I'm just representing Hengyu Supermarket Group today, and I don't know too much about the opinions of the top management of the Li consortium for the time being. ”

Zhu Lixia continued: "Although Carrefour occupies the Western European market, Walmart also occupies the North American market. However, they are all enterprises in Western countries, and they don't know much about our eastern market, and they don't know much about our Hengyu Supermarket Group. This time they chose to leave the Heung Kong Market at this time, which is a smart decision, at least they will not have to subsidize the Heung Kong Market in the future. ”

The reporters all understood what Zhu Lixia wanted to say, the Asian market is the territory of their Hengyu Supermarket Group, whether it is Wal-Mart or Carrefour, they want to squeeze out.

The withdrawal of Carrefour and Wal-Mart this time has completely stabilized the foundation of Hengyu Supermarket Group, and when it develops outside, it no longer has to worry about a fire in its backyard.

The war between the three groups is obviously not over, whether it is Southeast Asia, or the new market in the future, it will be the place where the three groups fight, and who will sit firmly on the throne of the world's first retail supermarket group in the future will still need time to test.

Xiangjiang media reporters believe that the future world's number one throne must be Hengyu Supermarket Group, which will be able to sit on an equal footing with Carrefour and Wal-Mart in just a few years, and it is only a matter of time before they are thrown away in the future.
