At half past ten in the morning, Guo Yang first returned to the newspaper office to cancel the leave.

Except for Lin Meimei, none of the newspaper's colleagues noticed Guo Yang's abnormality. As soon as he entered the office, Zhang arranged a news interview assignment for Guo Yang - to write a local press release about the collapse of Lianhua Supermarket. On the side of the criminal police team, Sun Xiaoman was replaced, Guo Yang was transferred from the criminal investigation to the commercial and industrial entrance, and Lin Meimei was still the cultural, educational and health department.

Lianhua Supermarket is the earliest daily necessities retail supermarket in the city, formerly known as the city's first department store, a large collective enterprise. The collective enterprise was later transformed into a supermarket chain, which was once a hit. However, with the gradual opening of the retail industry to foreign investment and the deepening of the market economy, many large supermarkets in the area where Lianhua Supermarket is located have risen successively, and the most competitive ones are the revitalization of private enterprises and the people's shopping malls of state-owned enterprises, which has a huge impact on Lianhua Supermarket.

The passenger flow is becoming scarce, and Lianhua Supermarket has no way to compete with the deep-pocketed hypermarkets in terms of supply type, price, quality, service and other aspects.

In the summer of this year, it was difficult to continue, insolvent, arrears of wages for half a year, and more than one payment arrears from various suppliers, so they had no choice but to declare bankruptcy and collapse.

Guo Yang naturally knew about this supermarket, he took the task and chose the topic without saying a word, silently carrying his satchel and preparing to go out for an interview. Lin Meimei looked at Guo Yang's lonely and departing back, hesitated, but chased out: "Guo Yang, are you okay?"

Guo Yang took a deep breath and smiled slightly: "I'm fine, do you have something?"

Lin Meimei stared at Guo Yang and sighed faintly: "I watched the live TV broadcast of last night's performance...... If you're in a bad mood, I'll do this for you, right?"

A trace of warmth passed through Guo Yang's heart.

He shook his head: "I'm fine, you go back and do your work, thank you!"

Guo Yang's smile was slightly bitter, he waved his hand to Lin Meimei and strode downstairs.

It is a 10-minute drive from the morning report to the Lianhua supermarket that closes its doors. Guo Yang drove to the store at No. 14 Hongqi Road, and saw that the gate of the original courtyard was closed, all kinds of sundries and garbage were piled up at the door, and the floor-to-ceiling windows were covered with white posters of the supplier's "pay me back".

Guo Yang stopped his car in the parking lot of the Zhenxing Commercial Building opposite, and then walked over slowly. The supermarket was empty, and the shelves were still littered with messy goods, but the valuable ones should have been looted by suppliers and employees.

A middle-aged woman with perm hair about forty walked out of the doorway room on one side, she looked at Guo Yang suspiciously, and said loudly: "Young man, the supermarket is closed, you want to buy something, go to the Zhenxing commercial building opposite!"

Guo Yang smiled: "Sister, I don't buy anything, I'm a reporter from the Northern Morning News, and I'm here to interview." Is there anyone left behind at this supermarket?"

"Reporter, what are you doing?" The perm woman's waist board has been on the board, and she immediately gave birth to a hundred thousand points of vigilance.

"Eldest sister, you are from the supermarket, right? Don't worry, I have no malicious intent, our newspaper is just going to make a special feature about the problem of Lianhua Supermarket, and you also know that through our newspaper report, if it can attract the attention of the city, it will be a good thing for you, right?" Guo Yang has read countless people, and his eyes are very poisonous, and he can see at a glance that this woman with perm hair is obviously a left-behind person of Lianhua Supermarket.

The perm woman's eyes lit up, she calmed down, and immediately let Guo Yang into the front room with a smile, which was actually a warehouse in Lianhua Supermarket in the past, where goods were stored. After Lianhua Supermarket closed, it was converted into a small roadside grocery store.

The perm woman was extremely talkative, and in less than half an hour, she babbled on the causes and consequences of the closure of Lianhua Supermarket and the current situation in illogical words, and finally grabbed Guo Yang's hand and said eagerly: "Reporter Xiao Guo, please help our employees appeal, at least pay the arrears of wages." ”

Lianhua Supermarket has been restructured from a collective enterprise into a joint-stock company, and Zhu Xiangyang, chairman of the board of directors, and 28 employees are all shareholders of the company; after the supermarket went bankrupt and closed down, who else did the employees who were shareholders of the company ask for wages? The articles of association of the company for sharing interests and risks were clearly stated, and they could only consider themselves unlucky.

Of course, Guo Yang couldn't say this kind of thing to the perm woman openly, so he could only comfort him with good words, and promise to come down.

However, Lianhua Supermarket claims to be bankrupt and closed, but in fact it has not gone through legal procedures. After the court decides bankrupt, all debts can be forgiven, but it will also leave all shareholders with nothing to lose.

Guo Yang chatted with the perm women for a while, and probably understood their mentality: the supermarket was actually closed to avoid the supplier's debt demand, but their real intention was to find a next home, sell the supermarket, and then divide the transfer money and go their own way.

But Lianhua Supermarket is now insolvent, only the name of the two-storey property built in the 50s along the road, with an area of about 1,500 square meters, according to the current market situation, the new commercial housing in the LC area is only priced at 800 square meters, and it can not be sold for one million, but the debt of Lianhua Supermarket is more than two million, how can any company take this hot potato?

Guo Yang took a bottle of water handed over by the perm woman and unscrewed it and took a sip, and a bold idea suddenly floated in his heart!

Supermarket chains are actually an industrial field that can be cut, and now the domestic market has just opened, and those foreign commercial retail giants are starting in big cities, and small and medium-sized cities are still a virgin land. The reason why Lianhua Supermarket is not doing well is entirely due to the backwardness of the operator's concept and the dislocation of market positioning.

Remembering that there is still no store selling fresh food in the city, citizens are still accustomed to going to the farmers' market to buy vegetables for consumption, and those who enter the shopping mall and supermarket are still mainly consumed with daily necessities - Guo Yang's heart immediately moved, and this idea became stronger and stronger. If you receive it, work steadily, and then with the help of the Internet information platform, you can do an article on electronic sales and intelligent warehousing integrated distribution, which is promising!

Guo Yang got up and smiled: "Eldest sister, I have a friend who is an investor, in your case, I can help you connect and see if there is a chance to cooperate." ”

The perm woman was overjoyed: "Brother Xiao Guo, you don't lie to me, right? If that's the case, thank you so much, I'll inform Lao Zhu immediately, when will I talk to your friend?"

"Tomorrow at noon, my friend and I will come over, and we will talk at the supermarket. Guo Yang didn't drag mud and water, made an appointment with the perm woman, and then said goodbye and left.
