226. Antitrust Complaint 5
At the beginning of September, some posts began to circulate on the Internet and local forums.
The content of the post is basically the same, which is different from the perspective of the poster, some are from the perspective of the victim, and some are from the perspective of a bystander.
But from Zhu Quan's point of view, it is all from the perspective of the water army.
The content is quite consistent, all of which accuse KTV, gyms and other industries under Hangtong Group of being involved in monopoly, and strongly request the Anti-Monopoly Bureau to investigate.
Zhu Quan didn't know about this kind of thing at first, and Xu Chunlai didn't take it seriously.
Whether there is a monopoly or not, they know it in their hearts, and they are not afraid of shadows, they simply think that some merchants who lose money make trouble.
But as the foreign media gradually began to guide public opinion, and some merchants made trouble in front of their shops, they felt that this matter was not simple.
The conference room of the headquarters of Hangtong Group.
All the directors present here are the directors of Hangtong, including shareholders who have a certain right to speak, and Zhu Quan is also impressively listed.
After all, he has so many real industries under his name, although he is only a nominal manager, but he still has the qualifications to participate.
Hangtong Group as a whole is not listed, and Hangtong Automobile plus Hangtong Electric, as well as some other industries, have a listed part.
There were some such shareholders in the conference room, and they were also worried about the stock price, so they came to observe the content of the meeting.
"Secretary Liu has already said that if you have any opinions, you can say them and discuss them together. ”
Xu Chun, who was in the main seat, said a word, and then stopped his gaze on Zhu Quan.
"I don't think it's a simple disturbance, there should be a driving force behind it. ”
Zhu Quan didn't hide it, and directly said his judgment.
"I looked at the statistics, and the troubles were mainly concentrated in a few remote prefecture-level cities in the Central Plains, such as provincial capitals and Xudu, and there were no at all. ”
"What does this mean? It shows that the people behind the scenes are just trying to attack the first wave. ”
"If it is really as serious as the report says, the merchants will lose money and starve to death, wouldn't the provincial capital riot long ago?"
"And according to our investigation, even in these prefecture-level cities that make trouble, those merchants will not starve to death, and the profit margin of individual merchants is higher than that of our navigation, so this should be a conspiracy. ”
After Zhu Quan finished his analysis, he leaned into the courtyard and didn't say anything more.
"Is there anything else you'd like to add?"
Xu Chunlai glanced around again, and did not react too much to what Zhu Quan said.
"What Zhu Dong said makes sense, but I have a small opinion, you can listen to it. "Xu Huanzhang, a distant relative of the Xu family, is a little far from Xu Chunlai's branch, but a few hundred years ago, it is still the same ancestor.
"Actually, no matter what these merchants are trying to do, I think we should go the other way. ”
"The domestic market is so big, and the Central Plains is so big, we have eaten everything we can eat, and it is very difficult to eat anything else. ”
"Then why not look abroad?"
"There are nearly 6 billion people in the world, and we in China are only 1.5 billion, accounting for only a quarter. ”
"Why should we give up another 3.6 billion dividends for the sake of a profit of 1.4 billion?"
"So, my suggestion is that we should invest abroad and work hard to earn foreign exchange, what do you think?"
Xu Huanzhang's words aroused the praise of some people, and there were also people who echoed it, but Xu Chunlai paused and didn't say anything, and these people just muttered two sentences.
"What Mr. Xu said makes sense, I don't know what Mr. Xu thinks we should invest in?"
Zhu Quan looked at Xu Hanzhang with a playful smile.
"Hehe, then I'll say a few more words. ”
"I think our Hangtong has been too limited over the years, as far as Hangtong Real Estate is concerned, you see the Northeast Wang family and the Kyoto Bai family, who doesn't extend their hands to all parts of the country?"
"And we are in a safe corner, you say, are we making a lot less money?"
"Of course, these are all in the past, let's not talk about it, now what we have to do is to reach out abroad, such as Eagle Country, such as the United States country, and even the curry country, these are all good investment directions!"
Xu Chunlai was a little impatient, interrupting his desire to continue.
"You said that we will discuss these things later, and the purpose of our meeting is to discuss how to calm the complaints of these merchants. Tell me about it. ”
Xu Huanzhang also realized that he had said a little too much, and since Xu Chunlai asked him, of course he had to express his opinion.
"It's very simple, don't they think we have too much of the market, so let's take a step back and give them the market, just so that we have plenty of cash flow, just in time to enter the foreign market." ”
Going around and around, and detouring to the topic of foreign countries.
Zhu Quan glanced at Xu Chunlai slightly vaguely, and Xu Chunlai signaled that he had received it, so he did not continue the topic.
finally ended the group meeting, and the two sat on the sofa and discussed what had just happened.
"Xiao Zhu, what do you think of Xu Huanzhang's proposal?"
Xu Chunlai drank the brewed tea by himself and went straight to the point.
"It's pointless, it's just a dizziness. ”
"Oh, tell me what you think?"
"How can foreign money be so easy to earn, everyone is an old capitalist country, and the way to make money has long been controlled by various chaebols. ”
"We are going over now, just to send money to others, and when the time comes, we will definitely lose all our money. ”
"What we can do now is to stabilize the current market, deeply explore and operate the market, and then wait for the next outlet. ”
"What do you say that there is gold everywhere abroad, it is either brain-dead or a mole!"
Zhu Quan's words can be described as word for word, clearly saying that Xu Huanzhang has a problem.
"Ahem. ”
Xu Chunlai was choked by his fierce words, pursed his lips, and then spoke.
"My opinion is the same as yours, but don't say what you say outside, Xu Huanzhang is also the Xu family no matter what he says. ”
He is the head of the Xu family, and the face of the Xu family, he still has to take care of it.
"What about those merchants?"
"Cold salad, we are not afraid of investigation, we don't care about losses, reasonable management, reasonable competition. ”
"They have problems with their own operations, and they blame others for losing money?
"How can there be such a reason, isn't this bad money driving out good money, isn't this reversing the country's opening plan?"
Xu Chunlai was almost choked to death by Zhu Quan's words, "Why do you kid like to button someone's hat at every turn?"
"Stop talking so much nonsense, is there a solution?"
Zhu Quan looks down on himself a little bit, it's all at this time, and he is still so indecisive, I don't know how he got into this position.
"Of course there is, you don't care, I'll deal with it. ”
After speaking, he got up and left Xu Chunlai's office.
"Hey, this kid, it's not for you to be in the limelight, I would have shot a long time ago... ”
Xu Chunlai is also bitter in his heart.
