303.
"Shaokun, do you mean to give up the overseas market and concentrate on the domestic market?" Qin Qin asked.
"It is necessary to concentrate on the domestic market, but the overseas market does not mean that you have to give up, just don't think about it for the time being. Moreover, even if we want to expand overseas, we should start with the underdeveloped countries in the surrounding areas, and the developed countries in Europe and the United States should not consider it for the time being. β
"Oh? weishenmeοΌ Qin Qin was a little puzzled.
"The department store retail industry in developed countries in Europe and the United States started earlier than we don't know how much, the market has long been saturated, and we can't get any benefits even if we go. Do you think Walmart is really that kind and will help us expand overseas? Hehe, don't even think about it! No one is going to help someone go to their house and grab something. The reason why Wal-Mart wants to cooperate with us is, to put it bluntly, because they want to share this big cake with our hands, because they know that they have little chance of winning if they want to compete in China and Sunday. β
After a pause, Mo Shaokun looked at Qin Qin and continued: "Huaxia's department store retail industry has just started, and it is the time when the countries are fighting, and in a few years, a large number of uncompetitive enterprises will be eliminated from the market. There is no doubt that Sunday Department Store will become the largest retail enterprise in China. We now only have about 200 stores in the country, and there are many cities that we do not cover. This Wal-Mart cooperation reminded me that if we want to seize this cake faster, we can't keep up with the speed by opening stores by ourselves, you can pay attention to some new supermarket chains in China, and if possible, we can also speed up the expansion through acquisitions! β
"Of course, if we can ensure that our own expansion speed is not slowed down and there is still residual capacity, then we can also start to gradually penetrate into the surrounding underdeveloped countries, but this penetration must be gradual, and this drastic approach at home will not work abroad, after all, it is not our territory."
Listening to Mo Shaokun say this, Qin Qin completely understood, and had a clearer idea of the company's future development. On the premise of ensuring the domestic market share, it will selectively develop in neighboring countries, which will be the expansion mode of Sunday Department Store for a long time in the future.
"I see." Qin Qin raised his head and said.
While Mo Shaokun and Qin Qin were discussing how the Sunday department store should develop next, Zhang Xiaodong was having a banquet for Will and her secretary Talina in a private room at the Dynasty Hotel in Anping.
"Come, Mr. Will, I'll toast you." Zhang Xiaodong picked up his wine glass and said to Will.
Will picked up the wine glass and touched Zhang Xiaodong lightly, and said with some regret: "Mr. Zhang, I came with twelve points of sincerity this time, but the result was not as good as I imagined. β
Zhang Xiaodong sighed lightly and said: "Mr. Will doesn't know, my boss has always been very reluctant to involve foreign capital. β
"Oh? That's a pity, I've heard for a long time that you Chinese people are very xenophobic, and this may have something to do with your culture and traditions. However, I personally think that a company that refuses to go international will not be able to develop much. Will shrugged.
"I think so too, but I can't change my boss's decision. Although I am nominally the general manager of the Sunday department store, I am actually no different from those low-level employees, and I have to do whatever the boss says. Zhang Xiaodong smiled bitterly.
Will raised his eyebrows and glanced at the secretary on the side, how could he not hear the dissatisfaction implied in Zhang Xiaodong's words?
"Mr. Zhang, I heard that you have been in charge of your company since its establishment?" Tarina asked.
Zhang Xiaodong's eyebrows were full of pride and said, "Yes." β
"In just over a year, the Sunday department store has grown to this size, and I admire Mr. Zhang's ability, even in our country, it is rare to see a business wizard as young and capable as you. Come, I'll give you a glass. Tarina looked at Zhang Xiaodong with admiration.
The corners of Zhang Xiaodong's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile, picked up the wine glass and said, "Miss Tarina is too praised." After speaking, he raised his head very heroically and drank a whole glass of liquor.
In the following time, Will became a supporting role, Tarina and Zhang Xiaodong chatted wantonly, and the topics they talked about were basically around Walmart and Sunday Department Store. Tarina seemed to really admire Zhang Xiaodong and kept toasting him.
After a while, Zhang Xiaodong was already a little drunk, and his words began to increase.
"I really didn't expect that since you are one of the founders of the Sunday Department Store, you only own a mere 5% of the shares, and you still have the right to dividends. Oh my God, it's just incredible, you can become a top professional manager in the U.S. with your abilities. Tarina said with some exaggeration.
Zhang Xiaodong didn't know if he drank too much or what's wrong, he felt even more uncomfortable when he heard Tarina say this, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Who said it wasn't?" But what can be done? At the beginning, the formation of the company was paid by others, and it was naturally impossible for me to give me more shares without a penny. β
"No, no, no, it's unreasonable, you have made so many contributions to the company, you deserve more treatment." Tarina shook her head.
Zhang Xiaodong raised his eyebrows and looked at Tarina, he didn't say anything but drank silently, his face was not very good-looking, obviously Tarina's words poked at his weakness.
Since the Sunday department store has a certain scale, Zhang Xiaodong has always felt very unfair, and he is tired like a dog every day to work hard to develop and grow the company, but what is the result? It's just a fictitious general manager.
And Mo Shaokun doesn't do anything, just occasionally pointing and saying a few words, he can sit on more than half of the company's shares! Is this fair? No! Not fair at all! As Tarina said, with his more than a year of conscientious work, and with the fact that he has developed the company to its current scale, he should also enjoy more haode treatment and more shares!
The more he thought about it, the more angry Zhang Xiaodong became, he drank glass after glass, and seemed to have forgotten that there were two people around him.
Will glanced at Tarina and nodded slightly at her, then he patted Zhang Xiaodong on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Zhang, it's not too early." β
"Huh?" Zhang Xiaodong turned his head to look at Will blindfolded, and wanted to get up and stand up, but the arm supporting the table was too strong, and the whole person almost fell.
Tarina on the side hurriedly supported Zhang Xiaodong and said softly, "Mr. Zhang, are you okay?" β
Feeling the softness and the charming fragrance coming from behind, Zhang Xiaodong's heart fluttered, and he forced a laugh to leave Talinea's arms and said, "No...... It's okay. β
Will frowned slightly when he saw this, and then said, "Talinea, you send Mr. Zhang back, he needs someone to take care of him." β
"No...... No, I can. Zhang Xiaodong shook his head and said.
Talina directly grabbed Zhang Xiaodong's arm and said, "Mr. Zhang, we don't have to worry about letting you leave alone if you are like this now." β
Looking at the blonde-haired, blue-eyed, fair-skinned Tarina, Zhang Xiaodong shook his head, but he didn't refuse.
Seeing Tarina help Zhang Xiaodong leave, the corners of Will's mouth turned up slightly and a faint smile appeared. Then he went straight back to his room upstairs, tonight must be a wonderful night, at least for Zhang Xiaodong......
