Through the wealth life

Chapter 751 Exit the market

After Li Xuelan hung up on Chen Junhua's call, she immediately came to Li Guangyu's office and reported to Li Guangyu about the supply price from the mainland.

After thinking for a while, Li Guangyu decided to agree. After all, the mainland also hopes to contribute to the stability of Xiangjiang through this matter, and let the more than 500 million citizens of Xiangjiang know that the mainland has not forgotten them and is always concerned about their production and life. .

Li Guangyu said: "Your group has to do a good job of accounting. This time, the mainland will suffer a lot. At that time, your Hengyu Supermarket Group will return to the mainland in the form of charity. This time it is our own decision. They pay for it."

After hearing this, Li Xuelan said: "Li Sheng, I will ask the financial department to do a good job in this aspect. At that time, we will send the funds to Guangdong Province in batches. Our Hengyu Supermarket Group will not be involved in this this time." Make the slightest profit."

She knew very well that Li Guangyu didn't want to owe favors to the other party. No matter what the reason was, what the supermarket group did was the Li's consortium's own business, and there was no need for other companies and forces to pay for it.

The press conference held by the Lee Consortium has a great influence on all walks of life in Xiangjiang. The Li Consortium has established a very good reputation in Xiangjiang over the years, so after Ganqin's press conference, Watsons and Hengyu Supermarket Group snapped up daily necessities The madness of the townspeople slowed down.

With the promise of Hengyu Supermarket Group, they don't have to worry about the sudden guarantee of prices, they don't need to go to crowded, and they can buy the items they need in their lives at the current price at any time.

However, the actions of Hengyu Supermarket Group and Watsons have hurt Carrefour and Wal-Mart very much. Most of their products come from Europe and the United States. As the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar falls, they are preparing to make adjustments in the price. The sudden news of the Lee consortium The press conference caught them off guard.

What's more deadly is that their two major supermarket groups did not hoard too much goods. The three-day panic buying left them with not many products on the supermarket shelves. Their purchase prices fell with the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, and their costs rose. They did not raise prices for sales. If not, many products will operate at a loss, and now they are in a dilemma.

You must know that they still have a huge problem of rent. The biggest advantage of Hengyu Supermarket Group is that they basically own their own stores. Sometimes they don't consider this issue, but their two major supermarkets can't.

Whether it is Victor Bill, President of Carrefour's Asian Affairs, or Wal-Mart's President of Asian Affairs, Osford Jackson, they are very troubled by Hengyu Supermarket Group's non-commercial approach.

At this time, when their major supermarket groups should be making a lot of money, Li's consortium will all be operating at a loss, and no supermarket will benefit. This is not what a businessman should do.

Victor Bill contacted the Paris headquarters in the afternoon to ask the headquarters' opinion on this matter. They probably lost their foothold in Xiangjiang.

Unless they learn from the Li's Consortium, it's just that the Li's Consortium is based in Xiangjiang, and there are many other groups under their umbrella. This side is damaged, and the benefits they get can be made up in other ways, and even if they are Carrefour and Hengyu Supermarket Group It won't do them any good to stay in a stalemate.

Many executives of the Carrefour Group suggested that they should take advantage of the panic buying in Xiangjiang to clear all the goods in the nine Carrefour stores. Carrefour will withdraw from the Xiangjiang market from then on, lest the group have to subsidize the Xiangjiang market every month.

Carrefour executives don't know how long the Xiangjiang crisis will last. It will consume Hengyu Supermarket Group in this way, but the final loss will be an astronomical figure.

And if they choose to raise the price, the reputation of Carrefour in Xiangjiang will be completely ruined, and what's worse, it will affect their future entry into the mainland market, so raising the price is absolutely impossible.

After some communication, Carrefour executives asked Victor Bill to give up the Xiangjiang market, fully develop the markets in Southeast Asia and Australia, and wait for an opportunity to enter the mainland market.

Although Victor Bill was unwilling to give up the Xiangjiang market, the headquarters had already made a decision and he had to follow the orders of the headquarters and prepare to close the store in Xiangjiang.

He knew very well that after Carrefour withdrew from Xiangjiang this time, they might never have the chance to enter again, and Hengyu Supermarket Group and Watsons would not give them the chance to enter the Xiangjiang market again.

And Wal-Mart also made the same choice. Being so exhausted in Xiangjiang and Hengyu Supermarket Group is not beneficial to their group. Wal-Mart headquarters asked Osford Jackson, who is in charge of Asian affairs, to close the store in Xiangjiang market as soon as possible, and focus on Placed in Southeast Asia and the mainland market.

On September 9, Carrefour and Wal-Mart held press conferences one after another, announcing the closure of the Xiangjiang store of the group.

This news caused a sensation in all walks of life in Hong Kong. At present, the world's three major supermarket groups, Wal-Mart, Carrefour, and Hengyu Supermarket, have no conclusion as to who ranks first.

At the beginning, Carrefour and Wal-Mart came directly to the Hengyu Supermarket Group's home in a menacing manner, preparing to compete with Hengyu Supermarket Group. People from all walks of life in Xiangjiang thought that there would be a fierce battle between the three companies. Unexpectedly, it was less than a year. He announced his withdrawal from Xiangjiang, which disappointed the people who were going to watch the show.

Hengyu Supermarket held a press conference immediately after the press conferences of the two major supermarket groups, and the meeting was presided over by Zhu Lixia, general manager of the group's administrative department.

At the press conference, Zhu Lixia said: "Regarding the closure of Carrefour and Wal-Mart in Xiangjiang, I hope that the citizens of Xiangjiang will not be alarmed. We, Hengyu Supermarket Group and Watsons, have the ability to guarantee the daily necessities of Xiangjiang citizens."

A reporter from Xiangjiang Economic News asked: "Miss Zhu, at the current time in Xiangjiang, two world-class supermarket groups, Carrefour and Wal-Mart, chose to close their businesses at the same time. What do you think of Hengyu Supermarket Group? view?"

"I am only representing the Hengyu Supermarket Group today. As for the opinions of the senior management of the Li's consortium, I am not too clear yet."

Zhu Lixia went on to say: "Although Carrefour occupies the Western European market, Wal-Mart also occupies the North American market. But they are all companies in Western countries. They don't know much about our Eastern market, and they don't know much about our Hengyu Supermarket Group. This time they are in It is a smart decision to choose to leave the Xiangjiang market during this period, at least they don’t have to subsidize the Xiangjiang market in the future.”

The reporters all understood what Zhu Lixia wanted to express. The Asian market is the territory of their Hengyu Supermarket Group. Whether it is Wal-Mart or Carrefour, they are the targets they want to squeeze out.

With the withdrawal of Carrefour and Wal-Mart this time, Hengyu Supermarket Group has completely consolidated its foundation. When developing outside, it no longer has to worry about fire in its own backyard.

The war between the three groups is obviously not over yet. Whether it is Southeast Asia or new markets in the future, these three groups will fight. It will take time to test who will secure the throne of the world's number one retail supermarket group in the future.

Reporters from Xiangjiang Media believe that Hengyu Supermarket Group will be the number one in the world in the future. This group will be able to sit on an equal footing with Carrefour and Wal-Mart in just a few years, and it is only a matter of time before they get rid of them in the future.
