Chapter 831: Flowers and Knives

Schneider stood up suddenly: "Mr. Wang, you are insulting~~ insulting our Carrefour!"

Wang Haoan turned around and glanced at the other party with a smile, didn't say a word, and walked out of the reception room.

Carrefour in Asia, that is, the surface scenery. The European one doesn't work in Asia at all, and many of everyone's habits are different.

Clothing, food, housing and transportation, these are the most basic, and it is these basic things that constitute people's lives.

For example, people in some places like to eat sweet, so there should be more sweets in the supermarket. In some places, people like to eat spicy food, so there should be more spicy condiments and foods.

Sometimes the elements of life are very different in different parts of a country, not to mention different countries or even different continents.

At first, Carlot thought that some of the products purchased from Europe would definitely sell well in the Asian market, and they were all European products.

But in fact, even in developed countries in Asia, such as island countries, South Korea and other regions, Carrot is not very good at business, and it can't do local enterprises.

Carrot also chose to work with some local retail companies to reduce costs and risks, and to tap into the network channels of local enterprises.

For example, in Treasure Island, Gallop cooperates with Datong Department Store, which is the largest department store chain on Treasure Island. It is the Datong Department Store that calls the shots.

If Carrot did not agree to the joint venture, I am afraid that Carrot's supermarket in Baodao would be closed.

Before Wang Hao'an's rebirth, Carrot had withdrawn from many markets in Asia. For example, Huaxia Xiangjiang, such as island countries, such as South Korea, such as Taiguo, as well as Malaysia and Nanyang are also negotiating to sell.

The brand of Galore is retained, but the introduction of local capital, the sale of part of the shares, and even the other party become a major shareholder, in disguised return.

At that time, it was not only the Asian market, but also the shares of the head office were sold, and the old supermarket or hypermarket model was no longer so popular.

The biggest impact on traditional retail is naturally e-commerce. In the past, everyone would go to the store to buy what they wanted, but the supermarket has a complete range of things and the price is relatively cheap, so it is liked by many people.

However, with e-commerce, there are no costs such as store rent, so the price can be cheaper, and you can even order it directly from the place of origin.

Carrot is inferior to Wal-Mart in terms of information and management, and the final result of aggressive mergers and acquisitions is failure.

In the previous life, in 05 years, Carrot announced that it would withdraw from the competition in the island market, and sold eight hypermarkets in the island market, and sold it to Aeon, a competitor.

Of course, Kellore also retains shares in some stores, but it has no decision-making power, and others are the majority shareholders.

In the previous life, the development of Carnage was at least good in China, and it was the largest supermarket chain group in the Chinese market, but in this life, the scale of Carnage in the Chinese market was not as good as one-tenth of that in the previous life.

Wang Haoan doesn't think that there is any insult ~~~ to say that he wants to merge and acquire the business of Gallopia in Huaxia~~~ Insulting, in fact, Gallop is indeed in a state of loss in the Chinese market.

Because the number of stores is too small, and they have blindly established an Asian sourcing center in the magic capital, the cost of investment is too high, but the sales situation is not ideal.

What's even funnier is that the Asian heads of Carrot are all sent by the headquarters, and they are not familiar with the Asian market at all, so they follow the same set of Carlots in Europe, and the result is naturally boycotted by local companies.

Let's just say that in the Chinese market, they still use high entry fees, piling fees, sales rebates, etc. to make profits. If you're big and you're doing well, this is certainly fine, because other businesses need a top-notch sales channel like Kellot.

But in fact, the sales channels of Carrot at this time are not very good, and even in many cities, they are not as good as the local supermarket groups, and each of the other people's stores is relatively small, but it is very profitable.

Small scale means low cost and low risk. The operation is good, and it is more popular.

In fact, many people go to the supermarket and don't really want to buy much. Unlike some developed countries in Europe and the United States, people there often go to the supermarket on weekends and pile them up in the refrigerator.

Chinese people buy food and like to buy some fresh. I don't like to buy a lot of them, because the place at home is relatively small and there is no place to put it.

The luxury industry in Europe and the United States is very developed, because there are many wealthy people there and the economy is more developed. Although the population of China is very dense, there are many of them, and there are many wealthy people, but they are relatively scattered, and the concept of consumption is also different.

The business model of Baihui Trading is different from that of Walmart, Carrot or Xiangjiang, and even Baihui supermarkets in each region are different.

In particular, Baihui Supermarket cooperates with Anjie Construction Group, and every Anjie Plaza has Baihui Supermarket, which can drive customer flow to each other.

There are many advantages that the Carrif does not have. Carrot's supermarket cooperates with some small shopping malls, but it lacks the brand effect of the previous life.

Wang Haoan returned to his office and called Zhang Kun in: "During this time, I carefully watched the movements of the family music frame. Say hello to some of our partners, and in a while, I might start an acquisition of Kelloga and ask them to help with that. ”

He had already told Schneider what he meant, if Schneider was willing to cooperate, the family could avoid losses, leave the Huaxia market with a sum of money, or accept the dominance of the Huaxia market in Baihui Trading.

If Schneider or the Carrot headquarters do not agree to the acquisition and want to continue to compete with Baihui Trading, he is also ready to compress the market of Carrot.

Even some of the more radical means must be used to defeat the family and make it submit.

With flowers in one hand and a knife in the other, how to choose depends on the length of the family.

……

Schneider left from Wang Haoan's side, and when he was in the car, he called the headquarters to report the situation. He understood what Wang Haoan meant, if he did not agree to the acquisition of Baihui Trading, then Baihui Trading would declare war on Jiale.

If it is in Europe, let alone Baihui Commerce, even Walmart is not the opponent of Carrot, which is the leader and is the hegemon in many countries.

But in China, Kelly is really not an opponent. The cost is higher than the other party, the profit is lower than the other party, whether it is the number of stores, customer flow or brand effect, it is far inferior to Baihui supermarket.

Knorr also opened a hypermarket, but because there were no brands from Patrons Hypermarket, business was much worse.

Schneider regretted it a little, he knew that he shouldn't have taken this position in the first place, and he wanted to make a career here so that he could have a chance to rise.

Now it seems that he is about to achieve the same result as his previous colleague.
