Chapter 125: Starting Something Else?

As the door opened, twenty or thirty female clerks walked out in two rows, and then someone rolled out the red carpet, and the sound of firecrackers crackled.

The leaders who came to participate in the opening ribbon cutting, in addition to the main leaders in the district, there are also some leaders of the relevant parts of the city, all in all, there are dozens of officials who attended the opening ceremony, as well as some people from the business community in Beijing, as well as many media reporters who came to interview, stood in a suffrage.

At half past nine o'clock in the morning, with the scissors in the hands of the district party committee cutting the red silk in front of the door, the first branch of REFUR Group in Huaxia officially opened for business. Under the command of the police at the gate, groups of citizens full of curiosity were let in one after another. This continued until nearly half past ten, when the thousands of citizens gathered outside the supermarket were truly dispersed. The police left some of them responsible for maintaining order at the scene, and the rest withdrew.

Li Mingji and the other four people have also entered the supermarket at this time, and they are also full of curiosity about what is unique about the Refur Group to become the leader of the supermarket retail industry in Europe. If they can see some clues from this, it will also be of great benefit to their own supermarket operation. Of course, they also understand that if the Refur Group's way of doing business can be seen so easily, then the history of the Refur Group has been repeated countless times in Europe.

After the group entered the supermarket, they soon found that in addition to the huge business area, there are three floors up and down, and the supermarket has a complete range of goods, whether it is domestic or imported brands, can be found in it. It can be said that the daily necessities of ordinary citizens can be found here. Several people also paid special attention to the price of goods, and found that most of them were a few percent cheaper than their own supermarkets. Some of the items sold at special prices can even be nearly 20 to 30 percent cheaper!

"This is the one-stop shopping mentioned in the newspaper a while ago, right?" Li Mingji said with a heavy heart, most of the supermarkets opened by the few of them are relatively small in area, and compared with here, the gap is really not half a star. If the area is small, the variety of goods will naturally shrink, and the environment in the supermarket is not as good as here, and the flow of people is slightly more, and the supermarket will be crowded. Especially at the cash register, there are long queues.

In the past, there was no more haode supermarket around, and people who were used to lining up naturally did not complain about anything. But now that the REFUR Group has opened, whether it is the comfort of purchasing, the completeness of the product variety, and the low price, it is bound to have a serious impact on Li Mingji's nearby supermarket!

"Well, it should be!" Zou Hua's face is not very good, although it is said that this is the capital, the capital of China, and the income of the citizens is higher than that of other provinces and cities in other places, but now in these years, everyone's income is not high, and the same goods, not to mention 20 percent cheaper, is 5 percent cheaper, which is enough to attract a large number of customers from other supermarkets! Although it is said that the Refur Group still has only one store, and its influence is not large, it is not enough to pose a fatal threat to the supermarket enterprises under his name. But the ancients were prepared for danger in times of peace. Today is the supermarket under the name of Lee Ming-gi that has been impacted, so who will be the next time?

"The price of the goods is too cheap! How much profit can they have?" said Hua Liang, the owner of Longxing Supermarket, with a sigh.

"There is no way, REFUR Group has purchased a large number of goods in China in recent years and shipped them to Europe for sale, and has established and improved procurement channels in China. Because it purchases a huge amount of money and is a foreign trade export, this price is naturally not comparable to us!" Xu Yan, the owner of Xingwanjia Supermarket, said helplessly. Although it is clear that the refur group is a means to lower the factory price, it cannot be used!

"Alas......" The four of them sighed in unison! In China, I am afraid that there are only many stores, and the Carrefour Group, which purchases an equally huge amount of goods every year, can compete with the Refur Group at this price!

"Mr. Hua, Mr. Xu, Mr. Li, I think if the situation is allowed to develop like this, I am afraid that the four of us will be kicked out of the game one by one. Hehe, even if Zuihou can hold on, we are also seriously injured and unable to continue to develop. Rather than this, the four of us can't join forces to jointly organize procurement, in this way, I believe that this price can be lowered a little more!" Zou Hua said softly.

The four companies form an alliance to jointly purchase from manufacturers, so that they can have more or less say in the face of these manufacturers.

Li Mingji, Xu Yan and Hua Liang are all silent, in fact, they have such an idea for a long time, in this way, they can not only avoid the dominance of the Carrefour Group, suppress others, but also enhance their own strength, the four together, although it is not yet comparable with the Carrefour Group and the two giants, but at least have the power to fight.

"Several, I heard that Carrefour Group intends to discuss with the leading companies in several industries, and it seems that it wants to establish and improve the industry standards of these industries, and it seems that it also intends to limit the ex-factory price standards of some commodities, which shall not be less than a certain amount. Hua Liang said in a low voice.

"It's not more than a certain amount, right?" Li Mingji said with some surprise. It is only natural for the supermarket to lower the purchase price of goods, but the manufacturers are trying their best to raise the price of goods. Why did this Lefu Group actually do the opposite!

"It must not be less than a certain amount! I have also heard about this!" Xu Yan interjected.

"Weishenme?" Zou Hua's brows were about to twist into a ball, this was the first time he had heard of this, could it be that the Carrefour Group was going to do some tricks this time?

It seems that Sun Zhaolun once said that the purchasing department of Carrefour Group must ensure the quality of the goods and the manufacturers have due profit retention under the condition of ensuring the quality of the goods. Because Sun Zhaolun believes that if the purchasing department of Carrefour Group blindly pursues low prices, then these manufacturers of goods are facing the dilemma of poor development because they cannot obtain sufficient profits. In this case, these manufacturers may change production; second, they will deceive the quality of their goods, which will obviously be unfavorable to the long-term goal of the development of Carrefour supermarkets! Therefore, the Carrefour Group hopes that everyone can get rich collectively in a reasonable and legal way!" Hua Liang said in a low voice. RO！~！
