The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 446

During Li Jianhui's trip to Europe, the competition for the North American retail market intensified, especially in the Canadian market, which is the focus of all parties' competition.

Because of the neutrality of the Canadian government, the retail department stores under the Xinjian Group and American retail giants such as Sears, Kmart, and Wal-Mart are fighting price promotion wars for the local market. Department stores or supermarkets.

At 4:21 am on April [-]st, Canada time, Li Qungang, president of E-buy Group and president of Lane Crawford, held a high-level meeting of retail companies under Xinjian Group in Canada.

In addition to executives from Lane Crawford, Watsons, IKEA convenience stores, and E-buy electrical chains, there were executives from Success Department Store and Cosway Group in the meeting.

After the conference personnel arrived, Li Qungang said in a deep voice: "It has been 20 days since our major retailers opened in the Canadian market. In terms of market competition, we are still in a state of anxiety with several major retailers in the United States, and we are even slightly in the middle. downwind.

This is definitely not what the senior executives of the Xinjian Department and Li Sheng want to see. We must occupy a dominant position in the retail department store market in Western Canada. Everyone has their own opinions. "

The high-level executives present also felt uncomfortable. There are more promotional methods in the Canadian market than in the Greater China and ASEAN markets, but the effect is far lower than their expectations.

It’s better in Vancouver, after all, Huaying Holdings is here to help, and the Xinjian Department has deployed here early, and its influence is quite good, which also allows the Xinjian Department’s retail department stores to gain the upper hand.

In Edmonton, Calgary, and even Prince George in the same province as Vancouver, the Xinjian Department has not been able to take the initiative so far.

After the speeches of several senior executives, some reasons were also found. One is that the opponents are also fully prepared this time. Even Wal-Mart and Sears have acquired some local retail department stores in Canada, allowing their influence to expand rapidly in Canada.

In this regard, the Xinjian Department is obviously inferior to the other party. Since Xinjian Department entered the retail industry, it has established its own business stores and has never merged with local retail companies.

The second problem is the business philosophy. Whether it is E-buy Group, Success Department Store or Cosway, all of them have developed in the Greater China region and ASEAN. The shopping habits and business philosophy of these places are very different from those in North America. difference.

The third is in terms of products. Due to the differences between the East and the West, the demand is also very different. In the Canadian market, the advantages in purchasing are not as good as those in the US.

Liu Xiaoyan, who is currently in charge of the internal coordination office of the Xinjian Department, said: "Since we have found a problem, we must solve it in time.

In terms of procurement, I will coordinate with Huaying Holdings and Meiya Holdings to help you and improve our procurement system in North America as soon as possible.

Major retail operations are adjusted, which requires you to make some changes based on the sales situation these days to make it more in line with the needs of the local market.

In addition, we need to increase the support of Cosway and accelerate its expansion in North America. This model of member discount stores is more popular among elites in Canada and the United States. "

……

After the meeting, Liu Xiaoyan said to Li Qungang on the side: "If there is anything else on your side that needs the cooperation of the brother company, please bring it up as soon as possible, and I will solve it.

I will go to Vienna in three days and be responsible for coordinating the layout of Xinjian Department's industries there. From now on, you will report directly to President Luo Minjun if there is any need here.

In addition, Chun Rong will stay in Vancouver as the deputy director of the internal coordination office. If you need help from other brother companies in the future, you can also go to Chun Rong directly. "

Liu Xiaoyan did not expect that Li Jianhui would transfer her to Vienna to be in charge of Xinjian's industry in Central Europe or even Eastern Europe.

This was a great challenge for her, but fortunately Li Jianhui had assigned her many elites, otherwise she would not have the confidence to complete the task Li Jianhui gave her.

According to what Li Jianhui said, in Vienna, there will be the deputy director of the Eastern European Affairs Department of the Political and Economic Research Office, the deputy director of the confidentiality office, the deputy minister of the legal department, the deputy minister of the review department, and the deputy minister of the finance department. She will be stationed in Vienna with her.

In addition, Wu Dongyang, former vice president of Lane Crawford and current vice president of Tesco Group, Zheng Huasheng, general manager of Debao Trading Company, Qin Jinfa, vice president of Hongyu Clothing, and Zhao Heyao, vice president of Yushi Group, will also be transferred to Vienna to assist her.

The configuration in Vienna this time was unprecedented in the Xinjian Department, which is enough to show that Li Jianhui attaches great importance to it.

Li Qungang also heard some news, so he responded: "Thanks to Ms. Liu for helping me during this time. I believe that Ms. Liu can make new achievements in Vienna. When the next annual meeting, Ms. Liu's seat will definitely be moved forward." .”

Liu Xiaojuan didn't care too much about this, but simply responded to Li Qun's words and left the conference room.

Her time is very tight, and many things still need to be transferred to Li Chunrong, and there will inevitably be major problems after she leaves.

At the same time, she also asked another assistant, Wang Xuehong, if she was willing to go to Vienna with her. If the other party was not willing, she could report to Li Jianhui, so that Wang Xuehong could be arranged to serve as an assistant to her president.

……

In Liu Xiaoyan's office, looking at Li Chunrong and Wang Xuehong who came in one after another, Liu Xiaoyan said: "Xuehong, I am going to Vienna soon due to work reasons. Li Sheng asked me to ask you on her behalf. Are you going to continue to be my assistant?" I went to Vienna, or chose to return to Xiangjiang to work as an assistant to Miss Chen Huiya, the new president of Jinhong Jewelry."

Wang Xuehong was quite surprised. It was less than a month since she came to Vancouver from Baodao to serve as Liu Xiaoyan's assistant. She didn't expect Liu Xiaoyan to go to Vienna again.

Vancouver is fine. After all, she once studied in the United States, so there is no problem with her language.

But in Vienna, it is German. She has no foundation at all in this area, and there are some obstacles in communicating with the locals when she arrives there.

Instead, returning to Xiangjiang, whether it is living habits or communication, it is far better than Vienna.

In addition, Xiangjiang, as the foundation of the Xinjian Department, is the center of the Xinjian Department. She is not an ordinary employee, but the third lady of Formosa Plastics. Build a relationship with the Li family.

Therefore, in terms of choice, she directly gave up continuing to be an assistant beside Liu Xiaoyan, but chose to go to Xiangjiang to be Chen Huiya's assistant.

Listening to Wang Xuehong's choice, Liu Xiaoyan didn't say much. After all, Wang Xuehong and her background are completely different, and the other party doesn't need to consider the future in the Xinjian Department.

After dealing with Wang Xuehong's problem, Liu Xiaoyan said to Li Chunrong: "I believe that Li Sheng has communicated with you that you will be the deputy director of the internal coordination office and stay in Vancouver to assist President Luo Minjun and President Li Qungang.

Starting today, you will officially perform this duty. While I am still in Vancouver these two days, you can ask me if you don’t understand. "
