Chapter 11: The Beginning of Cutthroat Competition
Vienna in June is full of greenery and flowers, like a fairyland on earth – of course this is impossible, and Vienna in the 21st century is almost the same.
After entering June, the competition in the retail industry has become more and more fierce, and the competition between major supermarkets has also affected Chiyu, and traditional grocery stores have been forced to close.
Prosperous Vienna was suddenly much more depressed, and the streets were full of advertisements for transfers, and only a few small shops were still open. Countless small shops selling daily necessities are faced with the choice of changing careers or closing their doors.
The capitalist world affects the whole body. - Capital
In the future, many supermarkets will not be able to support it, and the capitalists with flexible minds will choose to transform one after another. Since I lost money selling daily necessities, I sold other things, such as changing it to a clothing city, or entering the catering industry and starting a buffet.
With the popularity accumulated before, business boomed for a while, and more people were encouraged to join in, and many sales industries in Vienna were chaotic.
The fluctuations in the market soon spread to the financial markets, and a small economic crisis broke out in Vienna, and the speculators naturally did not show mercy, and the storm came.
Of course, that's in the future, and the volatility in the market will take time to ferment, and it's still just limited to the competition in the retail industry.
Cotter is now well-funded, and Robert is even more confident, he doesn't know that he has been targeted by the Falcon.
"Mr. Cameron, how long do you think it will take to end this war?" Rob said deliberately in a hurry
"If the current situation continues, it is possible that by next month, the number of supermarkets in Vienna will be reduced by a third, and in half a year it will be halved again. At that time, everyone will be exhausted, and those who survive will have the strength. With fewer competitors, this price war will stop! Cameron analyzed
"No, shareholders who have been losing money for a long time will have opinions, and now it has affected department stores, which will affect our listing plan!" Robert vetoed the suggestion
"Then we can only let the price war intensify, and our losses will be great!" Cameron said with a frown
"Then keep coming, and I hope to end the fighting within three months. Kill those trash fish at all costs and earn back the money we lost! Robert said harshly
As Robert smiled, he thought of a clever plan and said: "The retail price of goods in the supermarket is lower than the purchase price of us now, you can secretly send someone to other supermarkets to buy." ”
"It can not only hit the opponent, but also reduce the procurement cost! Remember to do it secretly, and if they are discovered, they will be in trouble. ”
"Yes sir, as you wish, I will reduce the price by another ten percent today, and maybe I can scare off a few trash fish!" Cameron said with a smile
The retail market is once again in mourning, and Volvo is required to print Volvo products on most of its products because of its large size.
In order to avoid being exposed, the goods bought from Volvo had to be repackaged, and after trying it, Robert had to give up.
Then the other supermarkets went to the big mold, and they suffered heavy losses for a while, but they were soon discovered by Ferdinand, and the purchase of Cotefei in Shuanghui Food Group was reduced.
Ferdinand smiled and thought, "Robert is doing death, he will soon know what is the target of public criticism!" ”
Volvo can do it, it's big enough to be spread out everywhere, and it's only for the Cotter family, even if Ferdinand is exposed.
Don't look at the strength of those small capitalists, if they all move, even Ferdinand will be afraid of three points.
Ferdinand didn't hesitate, but just let people release the news of the reduction of Cotterfly's stocking, I believe that anyone who is not a fool will know that there is a problem with this.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the shrewd capitalists to learn from the example and directly send someone to the Coatfei department store to pick up the goods, which made Cameron scramble.
Capitalists with backgrounds have also used a lot of connections to block Caterf, such as Carterfly's department store, which is often cut off from water and electricity.
Of course, a few gangsters pop up from time to time to make trouble, and when it is intense, there are even fatalities.
Everyone knows that the Carter Fly department store is losing money, and they all tacitly target the department store, of course, this is also indispensable to Ferdinand's covert guidance.
In half a month, Robert's house was dropped twice by bombs, ambushed three times on the road, and members of the Helde family were also frequented.
The employees of the Carter Fly department store were also implicated, and there were not a few who were beaten up, and there were countless people who asked for leave, and they resigned directly without approval.
is worthy of being qualified capitalists, and it seems that this is not the first time that the Helde family has encountered it, and they are all a little used to it, and they reacted immediately.
The chaos was quickly quelled by tightening security measures and pressuring the police station with connections, but their already bad reputation has now become even more stinky.
In order to calm this trouble, in just one month, Carter Fei paid a high price of 200,000 pounds.
The loss of department stores and supermarkets can only be regarded as average, only a little more than 40,000 pounds. The department store has now seen a sharp decrease in the flow of people and has also entered a state of loss.
The biggest expenditure is naturally public relations, and if you want to find a relationship, of course, you have to spend money! When you encounter such a fat sheep, who doesn't come to take a bite, is that still an official of the Austro-Hungarian Empire?
Of course, this matter is not over yet, and the official came forward to suppress it, but the competition continues! Now Cotefei is not only losing money in supermarkets, but also in department stores, only not in and out, no one can stand it!
James was forced out of the mountain, and quickly stabilized the department store, he knew that he was targeted this time, otherwise if there was no one to guide him, how could he have targeted the store instead of the supermarket?
The old James quickly locked on to the target, looked at it and said, "Robert, let's close the department store, let's admit defeat!" ”
"Why, uncle? They can't hold it anymore to be so crazy! Robert said unwillingly
"The opponent has not yet made a force, and it has caused us a lot of vitality, and if we continue, I am afraid that the Hurd family will cease to exist!" James said with emotion
"You're saying that the Kohali family has made a move on us?" Robert asked uncertainly
James shook his head and said, "Not yet, otherwise this incident would have killed us!" It is estimated that at most it will be the hands and feet of the guy Ferrantz, and the next thing is not certain! ”
It's not that Ferdinand doesn't want to make a move, it's mainly about fame. If he makes a move now, doesn't that tell the world that this is what he did?
But that doesn't mean that Ferrantz will also sit on the sidelines. If you don't make a move, it's enough, and if you make a shot, it's fatal.
