"Andy, I heard that someone has talked to you? Is it that we have been in the limelight too much recently, do you want to lie dormant for a while? Anyway, the contract has been signed, and the next step is to develop step by step, there is no need to expand rapidly. Guo Jijie suggested.

"Why hibernation? Since we have set a strategy for rapid expansion, we should develop according to this strategy. Cities with a population of more than 5 million have our Baihui supermarkets, and some cities with a population of more than 3 million also have our supermarkets. ”

"In the future, every city with a population of more than two million will also have our supermarkets, although they can't be big supermarkets, but fresh supermarkets are absolutely fine. ”

"Even in small counties, we can open a few convenience stores. We have a cost advantage that is not matched by those small stores. ”

The head office purchases the goods and then distributes them to each store, which is naturally much lower. For the same retail price, they can make more profits.

"It's actually very simple, we can do it, and so can other companies. Now there are many local supermarket chains in some provinces, and if we stop expanding rapidly at this time, it will give them the opportunity to develop, and it will be even more difficult to seize the market in the future. ”

"Now we still have the financial advantage, we can use the store mortgage to expand, anyway, the supermarket has a very good cash flow, and we don't have to worry about cash flow breakdown. ”

"Carrup has cooperated with us in this way, and other international giants are not rivals, and several new store locations of Walmart have been preempted, and the number of stores in the Chinese market will definitely not exceed 30. ”

"When we really become the number one in Asia, I think it's time to slow down and develop a new retail model. I told you, e-commerce, online malls. ”

Guo Jijie slapped his forehead: "Andy, you're thinking too far ahead." I remember you also said that improving the logistics and distribution network, optimizing the delivery route, and saving costs, this seems to be a lot of money, right?"

"The investment is high, but it will save us more money in the future. In the future, the development speed of electronic information technology will be faster than you imagined, because now more and more people use electronic products, more and more people will enter the industry, and there will be more and more such enterprises, and the development speed will become faster. ”

"I have commissioned several companies to help us develop this logistics and distribution system, as well as the sorting system, etc., and we can save a lot of labor costs in the future. ”

"Lao Guo, many of our enterprises have too many workers, which is very dangerous. If something happens, the risk is much greater for us than for other businesses. ”

For example, the state regulates the wage base, or regulates the proportion of social security contributions, which will cause the company's labor expenses to rise. Dozens of people in other companies, even if they rise, they can afford it.

But the number of people in their company is in the millions, and once each person's salary rises by 100 yuan per month, the monthly increase in expenses may be hundreds of millions.

If you can save one-tenth of it, then you can save 100 million yuan a year, and this money is used to develop electronic systems, Wang Haoan feels that it is not a loss.

What's more, the salary rise will be even greater in the future, Wang Haoan has always advertised that his company's salary is the industry's leading, or even the first, do you want to give up this reputation?

"Andy, even if you think supermarket expansion is a good opportunity, what about other industries?" Guo Jijie asked again.

"Other industries? Other industries have naturally seized the opportunity to develop rapidly. Lao Guo, let's fight for another three or four years, and then I'm going to retire. ”

Guo Jijie was stunned: "What do you say? Retire? How old are you, just thinking about retirement?"

Many people can't wait to be seventy or eighty years old and still working, unwilling to retire, unwilling to give up the power in their hands, Wang Haoan is only in his thirties, and he is considering retirement.

"After retirement, I have more time to enjoy life. In the past few years, I was very happy at work, thinking about making more money every day and aiming to become the richest man in the world. ”

"But now my goal has almost been accomplished, in three years, even if I can't become the richest man in the world, I can easily rank among the top ten, and this is still under the premise that many of my companies are not listed. ”

"And as some of the companies I invest in develop, my assets will definitely grow faster, which means that I don't need to do anything to become the richest man, so what else do I struggle for?"

"While you are young, you should go out and see more, and when you are old, you don't have the heart and the strength. ”

Guo Jijie pouted: "Didn't you go out a few years ago? And if you want to go out to play, just take a vacation, there's no need to retire, right? ”

Guo Jijie is not joking, after a person is busy, he may be happy to be free suddenly, but if he is idle for too long, he will feel that life is not fun.

How many rich people come to the front of the stage again after retirement, not because they don't have a suitable successor, but because they are bored and want to go back to work and back in the public eye.

Wang Haoan looked at Guo Jijie: "When I say retirement, I am giving up management positions such as chairman, but I am still a shareholder of many companies, and even a major shareholder, and I still have to participate in the shareholders' meeting occasionally." ”

"If so many companies attend shareholders' meetings, how much time does it take each year, do you really think I will die idle?"

"Lao Guo, making money is very important, but family is also very important. My child is growing up day by day, and I want to spend more time with him so that I don't regret it in the future. What's more, my parents are also older, and I want to spend more time with them. ”

Guo Jijie suddenly asked, "Are you sure that your uncle and aunt like you to accompany you, don't you find you annoying?"

Wang Haoan glared at Guo Jijie angrily, who did you learn from, talking so chokingly. But after thinking about it, it seems that my parents prefer to chat with some old friends, play cards or something, and he does have many different interests.

"Andy, sometimes, it's not so easy for you to retire. If nothing else, your car company, you're retired, are you sure it can grow as you envisioned?"

"More and more international top car companies are entering the Chinese market for joint ventures, and the technology is getting better and better, can you rest assured at home? This is the largest industry you have invested in, have you thought about the way out in the future? How to become a first-class car company?"

Wang Haoan looked at Guo Jijie with a smile: "Of course I have thought about it, the method is very simple, just acquire a first-class car company or brand, and I have already chosen the goal, just wait for it to go downhill." ”

Guo Jijie: "???"
