The evening sun has set, and the distant mountains and forests in the Olympic Forest Park are all dark. The lights are on in the elegant and quiet small living room, and the aroma of wine and food is wafting.
Jing Gao was not in a hurry to explain anything, but took a sip of rice wine and asked Cheng Herong, Xi Wenbin, and Weng Yancai, who were listening attentively and looking at him, "You three have the same idea as Siyue?"
Xi Wenbin was pushed out by the other two. After all, his daughter Xi Siyan was Mr. Jing's concubine. There was still room for maneuver when he said the wrong thing.
Xi Wenbin gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Jing, yes! In the supermarket industry, one is that the output value and market value are not high. The other is that it takes a long time to see results. The third is a sunset industry. You may not be able to do it now if you enter it."
Jing Gao said calmly: "Lao Xi, you are all thinking inertia. How much wealth do you think you can get by running a supermarket? You can't make much money! Compared with your real estate business, there are also the express delivery and financial services that Lao Cheng did before.
, and the old man’s antiques, calligraphy and painting business, and the supermarket business, of course, can be considered as earning hard money.
You can use your mobile phone to check the market value and sales of the leading companies in the supermarket industry. The first one is called Sun Art Retail, which is owned by RT-Mart. The second one is called Yonghui Supermarket. Sun Art Retail is listed on the Hong Kong stock market. Yonghui Supermarket is listed on the Hong Kong stock market.
Hui Supermarket is listed on the A-share market.”
Cheng Herong, Xi Wenbin, and Weng Yancai all picked up their mobile phones and started checking information.
An Xiaoqian also pretended to pick up her phone, but she sent a WeChat message to Jing Gao: Xiaojing, how many times did you and Guo Siyue have sex this afternoon? She looked so charming, and you could tell at a glance that she was a successful cat.
"Chirp."
Jing Gao was waiting for the reaction of Xi Wenbin and the other three, slowly eating coral fish and drinking soup. Suddenly he heard the WeChat notification on his cell phone, so he picked it up and took a look. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and looked diagonally across from him who was writing seriously.
The beautiful woman An Xiaoqian on the phone replied: Xiaoqian, are you asking me or her?
He clearly felt that Xiao Qian, a beautiful mature woman, was jealous, and her words were not very polite. This revealed another side of her. The relationship between the two of them had never been good. It was said that they would quarrel when they met. In fact, Xiao Qian was very
She indulged him, even knowing that he had done it with Zhang Ting, she just scolded him for being romantic and ridiculous, and was not jealous. When facing Guo Siyue, she behaved obviously differently.
In front of him, Xiao Qian is now a young woman in love, as gentle as water. In front of Tang Xuan, she is his best friend and eldest sister; in front of a group of senior executives under him, she is also an elegant and powerful female CEO.
Therefore, Xiao Qian, this beauty, is really interesting and charming! People really love her.
Before An Xiaoqian could reply to Jing Gao's message, Jing Gao's WeChat message rang again. This time it was from Guo Siyue: Xiao Jing, don't flirt with An Xiaoqian. You are still at work. You are so sure of persuasion
Three of them?
Jing Gao glanced at Guo Siyue, who was sitting next to him. It was a bit hot to eat in the restaurant right now. She had already taken off her coat, revealing her red and black anemone strapless dress. Her exposed shoulders were as white as jade.
, the collarbone is charming. The long skirt wraps her figure, the curves are undulating, and she has the ultimate charm of a mature and beautiful woman.
Before he could reply to Guo Siyue's WeChat message, he saw that Xi Wenbin and the others had already found out the relevant information.
Xi Wenbin said: "Mr. Jing, the stock price of Sun Art Retail, which currently ranks first in the domestic supermarket market, is about 90 billion Hong Kong dollars, and is currently continuing to fall. Their financial report for the first half of the year showed that retail operating income was 54.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease
0.33%, net profit was 1.758 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 0.06%.
Compared with last year's 3.13% revenue growth rate and 22.70% net profit growth rate in 2017, the growth rate has slowed down significantly. According to analysis, although their retail revenue and net profit are ahead of other supermarket companies, their performance growth rate is relatively lagging behind.
.
In other words, they are being constantly approached by domestic companies. Last year, they invested 22.4 billion yuan in Alibaba to acquire 36.2% of the shares."
After Xi Wenbin finished reading, he paused and glanced at Cheng Herong.
Cheng Herong understood the situation of Yonghui Supermarket, "In January 2018, Yonghui Supermarket was touted by the market as a white horse stock, reaching the highest market value of 116 billion. In the past three quarters, Yonghui Supermarket's stock price has continued to rise.
has declined, and as of today's closing market value was 66 billion yuan.
Similarly, Yonghui Supermarket owns shares of JD.com and Tencent respectively. JD.com and Jiangsu Yuanzhou, owned by Liu Qiangdong, officially subscribed for 478.5 million shares of Yonghui Supermarket respectively at a fixed increase price of 4.425 yuan in August 2016.
, subscribed for 957 million shares, accounting for 10% of the total share capital, and the total subscription amount was 4.235 billion yuan.
Linzhi Tencent, owned by Ma Huateng, received 478.5 million shares for 4.2 billion yuan, accounting for 5% of the total share capital.”
Reading these boring numbers actually means one thing: the supermarket industry is no longer viable. Even with the support of Internet giants and the injection of funds, supermarkets are no longer viable.
…
Xi Wenbin, Cheng Herong, and Weng Yancai all looked at Jing Gao with doubts.
Jing Gao had a good time to drink a glass of wine. Guo Siyue stood up and poured him a glass of wine and said: "The market value is about 60 to 70 billion, which is equivalent to about 10 billion US dollars. To take a step back, the supermarket industry continues to decline.
The market value will continue to fall, even if the new supermarket will only have a market value of US$5 billion in the end. But isn’t this just right for Ren Lie?”
Xi Wenbin, Cheng Herong, and Weng Yancai were all shocked. They understood what Jing Gao meant: If Ren Lie really wants to invest in a US$10 billion company, then Mr. Jing should be worried again! On the contrary, the supermarket industry is currently shrinking.
The market capitalization is just right.
Jing Gao continued: "Ma Yun has been talking nonsense all day long, talking about new retail. This is a one-sided view to replace the whole. He is always good at bragging.
In the future, the supermarket industry will go online to meet users' online shopping needs. This is an inevitable trend. This is the same as major brand stores need their own online flagship stores. But Ma Yun created a concept called 'new retail', which is nonsense.
.
The fundamental reason is that the dividends of e-commerce are no longer available. The various expenses required to open a store on Taobao no longer have any advantages over physical stores.
Regarding whether the supermarket industry is worth entering, Taichu Think Tank recently gave me a report, which is about supermarkets.
Supermarkets, as residents' daily shopping needs, will definitely still exist within ten years as long as there are no new innovations in the sales model.
Of course, the entire supermarket industry will undergo significant development and changes. First, it will become increasingly difficult for small supermarkets to survive. Regardless of the location of the community, residents will concentrate their shopping consumption towards large brand supermarkets. Second, As rents and labor costs rise, supermarket profits continue to decline, requiring management optimization. This is a characteristic of the Red Sea market. Competition is very fierce. Third, supermarkets that meet different levels of needs have emerged. This is a large brand enterprise Where strength is needed.
Therefore, the supermarket industry as a whole will show four characteristics in the future. First, the integration of online and offline is a new pattern. Online shopping in supermarkets will become a trend. Second, in view of the different needs of consumers, cross-border cooperation needs to be sought.
For example, a large company needs to purchase snacks, drinks and other items for daily consumption by employees. It is impossible for the company to negotiate with food suppliers one by one and confirm contracts. At this time, supermarkets can provide services. Cooperation will be a major trend.
Third, the competition is too fierce, and supermarkets will develop their own brands to enhance competitiveness and profits. This can be seen by looking at JD.com’s self-operated operations. Fourth, reconstruct the intelligent and efficient supply chain system. Nowadays, many sorting in the express delivery industry is Very smart.
The summary of this report is that the supermarket industry still has great potential in the future! Annual sales exceeding 10 billion is not an unreachable goal. If you create such a supermarket company, its market value can be imagined.
I can provide a guarantee that I will ensure smooth listing channels for Hong Kong stocks.
As for the development time, the report given to me by Taichu Think Tank shows that in 2016, an online supermarket was launched in Fujian Province: Pupu Supermarket, which started in the base camp of Yonghui Supermarket and conquered a market abruptly. It does not take 20 years years of accumulation.
We now have the warehousing and transportation of Yuanfang Logistics, and then build a big data intelligent distribution network. This thing is currently a very mature program of Xiangcheng and Yuanfang Express. It can be used after modification.
If we don’t need profit data, but with the support of our funds and connections, I think we can see results in one or two years, and Pupu Supermarket will be touted by capital! Of course, choose an online supermarket or a supermarket like Pangdonglai, you guys Let's discuss it. I don't have the ability to take care of things that are too detailed. I'm definitely not as good as you when it comes to business matters."
Xi Wenbin pondered slightly as he thought about how to speak. The truth is this, but there is a problem...
At this time, Cheng Herong said straightforwardly: "Mr. Jing, if we really want to talk about financing and creating influence, it is easier for companies that are related to the Internet to blow up bubbles. My suggestion is to build an online supermarket and let Ren Lie invest first. Lasted for a while.
Of course, Mr. Jing, you just criticized me for not doing a good job in remote logistics, but I still plan to push forward the physical supermarket project at the same time."
An Xiaoqian was flirting with Jing Gao just now, but Guo Siyue took the lead. Now she also assisted and said: "Mr. Jing, having such a supermarket project is enough to ensure Ren Lie's performance and the future of the Ren family. But, this
How to calculate the control of a supermarket? I think Ren Lie is not willing to invest in a company controlled by you."
There is actually something else in her words: Jing Gao may not be willing to let the outside world know that he has actually stopped. He originally wanted to use the hands of Yun Mingcheng, Liu Shaojun and others to weaken the Galaxy Group.
Xi Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief. What An Xiaoqian asked was exactly what they were concerned about.
Jing Gao thought for a few seconds and said: "Then according to Lao Cheng's opinion, we will establish a supermarket company based on Yuanfang Logistics, specializing in physical supermarkets. As for the shares, I will take the majority here. Lao Cheng is responsible for the specific affairs.
.If Chen Ziyuan wants to follow suit, Lao Cheng, go back and talk to him.
At the same time, set up another online supermarket. It’s up to you to discuss it with Ren Lie. How much is the investment share? Who is willing to take charge? I will not participate in this business! As Ren Lie’s uncles, you guys will use your influence and connections.
Taking care of him is your own private matter. For an online supermarket of less than 10 billion U.S. dollars, you still have a few shares, and no one will say anything weird outside."
Xi Wenbin initially expressed his position: "Lao Cheng, you are in charge! I will provide some financial and network support. Jincheng Real Estate will provide a purchase order."
Cheng Herong said without hesitation: "Okay."
Weng Yancai said: "I'm here to inquire about the development of the two supermarkets in Xiangsheng. I hope that there won't be a phenomenon like Fat Donglai being forced into the palace by the entire industry." After that, he raised his glass and said: "Mr. Jing, I respect you.
You, what happened this time is that I judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. If you have anything to do in the future, please call me."
Jing Gao laughed and said: "In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Chen Gonglin said to Cao Cao before he was killed: I heard that those who rule the world with filial piety will not harm others' relatives; those who govern the world with benevolence will never stop people's sacrifice. Since I have achieved this
The purpose is not to make a fatal move again.
Old man, don't say anything about calling you in the future. I have something to ask you now. I went to auction some antiques at Hanhai Auction House two days ago. The experience was very bad and the confidentiality was terrible. Are you interested in joining forces with me?
An auction house? I provide the capital and you provide the technology."
Weng Yancai suddenly felt a little embarrassed and stood there.
At this time, Yin Jinggao quoted Chen Gong's request to Cao Cao, causing the two beauties Guo Siyue and An Xiaoqian to chuckle. What about Cao Cao! Isn't Xiaojing a Cao thief?
One afternoon, one person had just been nourished by the well, and his eyes flashed when he chuckled, delicate and dazzling. The other person had been soaked in love and sweetness in body and mind recently, and his bright eyes were affectionate, elegant and bright. The two of them immediately made the small living room sparkle.
Cheng Herong, Xi Wenbin, and Weng Yancai all feel a bit dazzling. Old men in their fifties are vulnerable in front of beauties. As for these two beautiful women, one was their former boss and the other was their colleague.
, Nowadays, Mr. Jing’s women don’t even think about it, which is disrespectful to them. So the pressure suddenly came.
I really don’t know what kind of pressure and temptation Mr. Jing is under when facing these beauties every day!
