Chapter 10 Competition II

At Robert's suggestion, manager Cameron Oakes said passionately: "Gentlemen, Cotter has entered the department store field since the beginning of the year, and has achieved remarkable results in Vienna. In just three months, it has started from scratch and has become the first ...... in the industry."

"Excuse me, Mr. Cameron, if you say that the industry is the first in the industry and the industry is the first in the industry, I don't think it's necessary at all!" James Heard unceremoniously interrupted Cameron

James Held, Robert's uncle, the company's second largest shareholder, and the former company's personnel director, co-founded the Cotter Fly department store with Robert Sr., and has a great influence on the company, and is now retired.

Robert's face changed drastically, and James, who had retired, actually came out, obviously dissatisfied with him.

"Mr. James, the loss is only timely, and after the competitors are driven out of the market, it is the time for us to harvest!" Cameron pleaded down

"So Mr. Cameron, you tell me how long it will take to get rid of all the competitors?" Zamar Heard (Robert's younger brother) sneered

Seeing that Cameron was silent, Zamar continued: "You must know that our losses are increasing every day, and Cotter Fei is a big business, but don't forget that our roots are department stores, not department stores!" We can't put all our strength into this bottomless pit! ”

Seeing that Cameron had retreated, Robert knew that it was time for him to go on his own, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Okay, now that we've reached this point, it's all over with all this useless!" ”

"We have already invested too much in the department store, a full 80,000 pounds! Gentlemen, do you think we can still get out now? ”

"What? Eighty thousand pounds, you're sure you're right! Zamar jumped up and questioned Robert.

"My brother, the information was sent to the shareholders yesterday, don't tell me you didn't receive it!" Robert said angrily

For this playboy's own brother, Robert has always had little patience, and scolded in his heart: "Damn, it's all this time, you idiot is still making trouble for me." I don't know what's going on, it's all from the Herder family, how can there be such an idiot! ”

Zamar smiled awkwardly, and then figured out his position, apparently still a little afraid of his brother.

James thought about it, but still came out to be a peacemaker, and said: "Okay, it's all come to this point, let's find a way to help each other!" The company has invested 80,000 pounds, which is already a tenth of the assets of Cotter, and we are already riding the tiger. ”

After a pause, seeing that no one was speaking, James asked: "Robert, I'm afraid that the company's capital turnover is about to go wrong now, what countermeasures do you have?" ”

"The company has also made a lot of money over the years, and everyone's annual dividends are not a few. I hope that all shareholders will inject a sum of money into the company, and in principle, contribute capital proportionally! Robert said unhurriedly

The room exploded in an instant, and there was a lot of discussion, some people agreed and some opposed.

"What is the specific number of gaps for companies to survive the crisis?" James asked with concern

Everyone looked at Robert, full of anticipation. It seems that if the difference is not large, they are ready to pay.

"I have asked someone to move over the company's accounts, and now there is a gap in funds, 200,000 pounds, which is everyone's dividends for five years!" Robert said cautiously

Everyone's faces changed in unison, this number is too big, even if it is divided according to shares, it is not a decimal number. In terms of assets, they must have them, but who has nothing to put so much cash, either spent it or invested in the industry.

"How can there be so many? The supermarket project is only 80,000 pounds! Zamar asked with a pale face

"Quite simply, department stores have also been hit, we have a lot of merchandise that overlaps with supermarkets and it has affected our profits. The key is the supermarket project, which still needs to be invested, this figure is only ideal, and more funds may be needed later! Robert explained

"We can pay for it, but what is your ultimate goal?" James stared at Robert and asked cautiously

Robert knew that as long as James was convinced, then today's matter would be done, and no one else had to worry, and the two of them had more than two-thirds of the shares combined.

"Clean up those little trash fish, and let the Cotter Fei Department Store and Volvo stand on their feet!" Robert said cautiously

"Well, that's good. This goal is somewhat difficult, but it is still somewhat feasible! James smiled for the first time in a long time

Frankly, Robert is the most capable of the next generation of the Heard family, and James has always been optimistic about this nephew.

At the same time, I am also worried about Robert's arrogance, the Herder family is just a late star in the field of capital, not so strong, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is still a world of nobility.

This time, Robert directly started a price war and did not play any other means. It's not how high his moral cultivation is, but he doesn't dare to break the rules at all.

In the face of the Kohali family, if it were not for the support of the Hungarian flour capitalists behind them, they would not have chosen to enter at this time.

"By the way, Robert~ what do those Hungarians say? Now it's time for them to help! "James goes straight to the core

"I've already communicated with them, it's not ideal, it's been negotiated before it's out. Except for a loan of £200,000 to us, flour can be purchased at cost price, and they are not going to contribute anymore. Robert said bitterly

Yes, £200,000 is a lot of money, but it's a loan, and it's collateralized. Aside from the fact that flour could be purchased at cost price, they did not reap the expected benefits.

"Isn't that to be expected! There's no way they're going to do anything for us. You have to implement these conditions quickly, if Ferdinand reacts, it is estimated that he will not be able to get these, and it will not be so easy to take out a loan later! James explained cautiously

Robert said bitterly, "Okay uncle, I'll do it right away!" ”

Obviously, this incident hit him hard, and the influence of the old nobles was beyond his imagination. Ferdinand only showed a little kindness, and the flour capitalists shrank back.

"Robert is already in the pit, what are you going to do next for Ferrantz?" Ferdinand asked, looking at Ferrantz expectantly

"Your Highness, it's better to let them sink deeper, and then we will act! Now I'm going to clear the market first, let's say reduce the price by another 5 points, or in two months, half of the supermarkets in Vienna will die! Ferrantz said with a wicked smile

Ferdinand also laughed, don't look at the supermarkets in Vienna are losing money, but Shuanghui Food Group has made a lot of money. Retail prices have fallen, but sales have increased, but ex-factory prices have not changed.
