Yiguo said that the news of the failure of Xu Kou Group's acquisition of Carrefour Supermarket is an original. Then the news that the American Warmar Group will cooperate with Carrefour supermarkets is a hydrogen bomb, which blew everyone up and full of gold stars. I don't know how many people in this hurry, wondering if there is something wrong with their ears, or that the host on TV was dazzled for a while and read the wrong press release. For a while, the phone in the TV station was one after another, and it was almost blown up.

"When did Carrefour become so sought-after?" The European group wants to buy it, and the United States Volema Jiran took the initiative to come to the door to cooperate with it, if it is not for the heavenly family to know that Carrefour supermarket started in Pingchuan County, it has only been three years, and it is really a well-known time-honored brand in the country.

Could this be a round of hype? After rejecting the group's acquisition, Carrefour supermarket threw out fake news in order to maintain the company's exposure in the media and further attract the public's attention?

However, this news was announced by Sun Zhaolun in public, if it turns out to be false news, it will undoubtedly have a direct negative impact on the reputation of Sun Zhaolun and Carrefour Supermarket, wouldn't it be worth the loss?

With the appearance of Tom and others in Fengyuan and the unmistakable reply of the headquarters of the American Tirama Group to the Chinese media, people completely believe that Tierma Group does indeed intend to cooperate with Carrefour Supermarket in business.

As a result, the Carrefour supermarket has once again become the peak of media reports, and countless people want to know that the Woerma Group, the No. 1 in the United States and the boss of the Shijie retail supermarket chain, Weishenme will look at the total assets of only tens of millions of dollars, and there are only dozens of stores.

This is simply the most amazing event since China's reform and opening up, a retail supermarket chain company that was born only a few years ago, has been favored by Shijie's first and second largest European and American retail giants in a short period of time. If you can find the reason why Carrefour Supermarket has been favored by the Volema Group and the group, and then copy it, it will definitely be of great benefit to your own company. If it can also attract the attention of those multinational companies because of this, it will naturally be too good to be better!

How do they know that this miracle of Carrefour supermarket is not replicable at all, and without the attraction of the Carrefour trademark group, they will never take out so much real money just by relying on these existing stores to listen to the group, and may even disdain it at all; without the friendship between Fang Mingyuan and Cameron, the Volema Group will not notice the Carrefour supermarket in the mainland of China at all, let alone realize the group's intentions, and naturally it will not be so easy to talk in the negotiation, and use the gun of Carrefour supermarket to stab the group。 This relationship between links and links, non-insiders will naturally not understand 0

There are also those who think they are superior, but they are too lazy to ponder the mystery of this, but straightforwardly start to pick peaches.

Of course, the most direct benefit of these two things is that Carrefour supermarkets are already well-known in China, and the situation in rural towns and towns is not easy to say, but the cities above the prefecture level in the country. I believe that as long as you pay attention to the newspaper and the TV, there are not many people who don't know about the Carrefour supermarket. And these media not only reported on the Carrefour supermarket and the Tima Group Group to say these things, but also turned out the old things of the Carrefour supermarket, and many people suddenly remembered that in the price increase wave that swept the country, the small supermarket that refused to raise the price in a small county town in Qinxi Province that was once famous.

In view of the popularity of Carrefour supermarkets across the country and the bright prospects for future development, the head office of the Bank of Communications decided to increase the support for Carrefour supermarkets, in other words, Carrefour supermarkets can now borrow from the Bank of Communications. And there is no need to submit any collateral. Sun Zhaolun is overjoyed, although today's Carrefour supermarket is not lacking in working capital, but this expansion is powerless, he is trying to take this opportunity to the southeast coast and those first-tier cities to march, Gu Yucheng This is simply a charcoal in the snow.

This first goal is naturally placed on the three municipalities directly under the central government, namely Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai. As long as you can gain a firm foothold in these three places, and then enter other first-tier cities, it will be a matter of course. Sun Zhaolun, who has been depressed for a long time, naturally can't wait to take advantage of this east wind. He has already done the preparatory work, and the location of the store has been completed, as long as there are sufficient funds, he can fully promote this round of expansion.

"Uncle Sun, I think that instead of flowering at three o'clock, it is better to concentrate liliang first and play our signboard in one place!" Fang Mingyuan tactfully reminded Sun Zhaolun. With the support of the Bank of Communications, the funds of Carrefour Supermarket are not a problem now, but Fang Mingyuan does not think that the expansion of the enterprise can be done as long as there is money. He understands Sun Zhaolun's purpose in doing this, and in the final analysis, he still hopes that Carrefour Supermarket can occupy these three highest points before Woerma Group and Coffee Group enter the Chinese market, so as to lay a solid foundation for Carrefour Supermarket's future development within itself. But the capital is better, after all, the Fang family restaurant has already established its heels there, and he has lived in the capital for many years in his previous life, plus the help of the Su family and the Mei family, it is not very difficult to gain a foothold. Tianjin Gate is adjacent to the capital, but it is not upside down, but who will open up this Shanghai market? The speed of development of Carrefour supermarket is too fast, just these dozens of stores in the province, have exhausted all their reserve talents, and Shanghai is not more than the general city, as the forefront of reform and opening up city, Shanghai now has several shopping malls opened by the Japanese and small supermarkets opened by Hong Kong people, and the situation of the shopping malls in the entire Shanghai market is very complicated, all kinds of shili entangled, Carrefour supermarket wants to gain a foothold in it, it is not an easy task.

If Sun Zhaolun can go out in person, Fang Mingyuan believes that the store in Shanghai can be successfully established, but he is the manager of the heart. When I was often absent from Qinxi. How can you not be picky?

Sun Zhaolun also understood Fang Mingyuan's worries, but he was really reluctant to give up this rare opportunity. With the foreshadowing of the Woerma Group Group, Carrefour Supermarket has now reached its peak in China, at this time, high-profile expansion, local resistance from the local can be suppressed to the lowest point, and if you want to have such an opportunity in the future, it is impossible to meet it.

"Alas, then let me go back and think about it!" Sun Zhaolun shook his head and sighed as he put away the information on the table.

Before he reached the door, Sun Zhaolun folded back and took out a gilded invitation from his pocket. put it on Fang Mingyuan's table. "I almost forgot about this, this is an invitation sent by Yuan Miao, the boss of Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd., inviting me and Fang Shao to attend the banquet the night after tomorrow, this is Fang Shao's share, but I don't know if Fang Shao is free?"

"Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd.?" Fang Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, and then picked up the invitation.

"Fang Shao, this Yuan Miao is not an ordinary person, it is said that he has a deep background, and he is quite comfortable in Fengyuan City and even Qinxi Province. It's just that in the past, everyone was well water and not river water, and the avenue went to one side of the sky, I didn't know that Weishenme suddenly sent me and Fang Shao an invitation?"

Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd., Sun Zhaolun, as a Hong Kong native, does not know its background, but Fang Mingyuan is no stranger to it.

Fang Mingyuan still remembered that in his previous life, around 98 years ago, there was a major smuggling case in Qinxi, and the protagonist was this Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd.! That year, he happened to be a sophomore in college, and he went back to Qinxi Province to visit relatives, and learned some things about Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd. from the mouth of his second uncle. The reason why I remember it so clearly is because it also involves the second aunt's mother's family. It was a nephew of the second aunt's mother's family, who worked in Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd., and was also taken away by Fengyuan's police station at that time. Fortunately, it was finally found out that the nephew of the second aunt was not involved in the smuggling case, but was just a normal staff member in the company.

According to the second uncle, this Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd. can get luxury imported cars at very low prices, whether it is a BMW with a market price of hundreds of thousands of yuan, or a luxury car Bentley with a market price of nearly several million yuan. As long as the opening is specified, the European version and the American version of the famous car, more than 3 months, less than a month, the staff of Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd. will drive the car to the customer, and all the procedures are complete. Therefore, in Fengyuan at that time, and even in Qinxi Province, Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd. was famous in the sales industry of Qifeng.

Judging from the content reported at the time, Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd. mainly broke through smuggling, supplemented by underreported smuggling, and used underreporting to cover up smuggling. They were smuggled into China from the southern border of China through foreign smuggling syndicates and then transported to Qinxi Province. In order to avoid inspections along the way, they also privately cut all kinds of seals of Fengyuan Customs and Fengyuan City Traffic Police Detachment, and forged customs declaration documents and fake temporary license plates. Then, through the procedures for acquiring scrapped vehicles, the frame number and engine number of the smuggled vehicles are changed, and then the procedures for scrapped vehicles or customs clearance vehicles are applied to sell the smuggled vehicles at a high price.

Many of these smuggled cars are foreign second-hand cars or stolen cars, and even scrapped cars for refurbishment, so the cost of the vehicle is very low, and Huaxia levies high import taxes on car imports, a luxury car sold abroad for millions of yuan, if it is imported normally, including taxes and insurance premiums, the price of the car can basically be doubled, these people smuggle vehicles and sell them, they can earn almost 100% profits, and at least a car can earn more than 100,000 yuan. This was in the nineties, but it was a huge profit.

It is precisely because of the staggering profits that automobile smuggling in China was once rampant, and car smuggling cases accounted for more than half of the smuggling cases. From the South China Sea smuggling case in the 80s to the automobile smuggling frenzy on the Ludong Peninsula in the late 90s, car smuggling cases have repeatedly set records.

In the 90s, the Tianjin Customs seized 3,000 or 4,000 smuggled cars, and in order to be able to park so many smuggled cars, the Tianjin Customs had to temporarily lease five wharf warehouses. These are only those that have been detected, and the number of undetected ones is even more impressive.

It is said that in '97 alone, the value of the smuggled cars involved in the company's case was as high as nearly 100 million yuan, and the amount of tax evasion exceeded more than 20 million yuan. To be able to smuggle cars on such a large scale all year round, the background of the CEO is naturally self-evidently profound. It is said that a very important reason for the collapse of Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd. is that his protective umbrella in Qinxi Province has fallen, the trees have fallen and scattered, and he has fallen together without anyone to cover him. Fang Mingyuan didn't wonder how he would send himself a bundle, as the CEO of such a company, this Yuan Miao's energy was naturally beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Although his identity may be a fog in the eyes of ordinary people, it is nothing to people like them.

However, what did he mean by inviting himself and Sun Zhaolian?

Although Fang Mingyuan had known about the existence of Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd. for a long time and understood that it was not a good bird, Fang Mingyuan had not been impulsive enough to expose and report it. A smuggling gang that can take root in Fengyuan City and smuggle hundreds of millions of yuan in just one year can be imagined in all aspects. In particular, this also involves some figures in the officialdom, and if they want to bring them down, the price paid is so great that even the governor and secretary of the provincial party committee of Qinxi Province also think about it and think twice. He is just a reborn half-otaku, not superman or God, and it is impossible to do everything in detail. And he only learned some things from the mouth of the second uncle, and he couldn't talk about having evidence at all, so if Sun Zhaolun hadn't mentioned it, Fang Mingyuan really couldn't think of it.

Fang Mingyuan opened the invitation card with him, and sure enough, as Sun Zhaolun said, he invited Fang Mingyuan to participate in the banquet in the Chang'an Hall the day after tomorrow, but in the column of inviters, Fang Mingyuan noticed that there was another name, Qi Yan.
