The announcement from Jiayi TV at noon also disappointed many viewers who were preparing to watch the show. Perhaps people outside of Xiangjiang did not know, and how could they not know what groups Li Guangyu owned.
As for the identity introductions behind the major TV stations in the United States, they are just meant to deceive those who don't know the inside story. Li Guangyu doesn't care about those apparent identities.
As for the major consortiums in the United States that Jiayi TV has reported in the past two days, they believe that this is absolutely true. Since the Li Consortium has such strong strength, it is normal for those families and consortiums in the United States to have such strength.
Li Guangyu doesn't care whether the audience believes it or not, he just showed his attitude and this matter is over.
In the afternoon of that day, Li Guangyu held a liaison meeting with several major retail groups on the second floor of Xingguang Building. Senior executives of Hengyu, 7-11, Xuelan, South China Group, Du Yuemei, Li Xuelan, and Gan Qin attended the meeting.
The American consortium is looking for trouble for him everywhere, and Li Guangyu also wants the other party to be busy. This time Li Guangyu is planning to let several major retail groups join forces with Carrefour and Ito-Yokado to compete with American Sears, Kmart, and Wal-Mart in the Canadian market.
Costco launched a campaign to completely drive the American retail group out of the Canadian market.
At present, the global retail market is mainly occupied by retail groups from the United States, Japan, Western Europe and Hong Kong. South Korea's Lotte can only stick to its local territory and does not have the strength to expand outwards.
In Greater China and Southeast Asia, Ito-Yokado, Wal-Mart, Carrefour, and Metro jointly deal with several major retail groups of the Lee Consortium.
In the North American market, Hengyu Group is mainly competing with several major retail groups in the United States.
In the Western European market, it is relatively calm at present. The two major groups Carrefour and Metro are sticking to the Western European continental market, and several major Hengyu groups occupy the British mainland and Central and Eastern European markets.
Moreover, in order to cope with the current new situation in the retail market, Carrefour and Metro are in contact. The two parties are preparing to cross-shareholding and formally become one to cope with the three major retail groups of the United States, Japan and Hong Kong.
At the meeting, Li Guangyu said: "Those consortiums in the United States have been very leisurely recently, and the Soviet Union's threat to them is getting weaker and weaker, so they are ready to find trouble everywhere. I plan to cause them some trouble in the North American market, so that they can stop thinking about making trouble.
.
This time, we will focus on your retail department and focus on the Canadian market. It is best to get several major American retail groups to withdraw from Canada, and the American market must also take action to contain them."
At present, the most fierce battle between the Li Group and the American Group is in the retail market, automobile market, operating system market and mobile phone market.
Although they had expanded very quickly in the North American market before, they were still on the defensive overall. This time Li Guangyu asked them to launch an offensive. Everyone present was very happy about this.
This means that their expansion plans can be launched more quickly, and the group's annual investment plan can also be greatly increased, which is very beneficial to their strength.
Li Xuelan spoke up and said: "Li Sheng, currently our Hengyu Supermarket Group has 125 large and small stores in North America, including 68 in Canada, 34 in the United States, and 23 in Mexico.
We have 658 7-Eleven convenience stores in North America, including 386 in the United States, 233 in Canada, and 39 in Canada.
Our Shenandoah supermarket currently has 35 stores in North America, including 20 in the United States and 15 in Canada.
As for South China Electrical Appliance Group, it currently mainly operates in Greater China and Southeast Asia, and its current presence in North America is zero.
If we want to drive out Wal-Mart, Costco, Kmart, Sears, etc. in Canada, our Hengyu Supermarket needs at least hundreds of stores in Canada, South China Electric Group needs more than fifty, and Xuelan Supermarket also needs
We still need 30 to 50 stores, and 7-11 needs more than 300."
The four presidents, Chen Linwen, Liu Haichuan, Liu Weifang, and Fujiwara Huiyin, all looked at Li Guangyu, hoping that Li Guangyu would agree to Li Xuelan's suggestion for increasing stores, so that their group's strength would increase at a higher level.
Li Guangyu asked: "Do your major groups have sufficient manpower? Once they expand, will the managers be able to keep up?"
Chen Linwen said: "Li Sheng, our Hengyu Supermarket Group has always attached great importance to the cultivation of reserve talents. Now our Hengyu Supermarket Group has a total of 1,126 stores of various types around the world, which is fully able to support this expansion."
Liu Haichuan also responded that there is no problem. The number of directly-operated stores belonging to the 7-11 Group has reached 2,642 worldwide, and the managers of hundreds of convenience stores have no problems.
Sherland Supermarket currently has only 62 stores in the world, 35 in North America, 7 in Asia, 3 in Australia, 8 in Western Europe, 4 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 5 in Latin America.
And this sudden expansion has put a lot of pressure on the management of their group.
However, in order to enable the group to expand rapidly, Liu Weifang assured Li Guangyu that the group had no problems and could meet Canada's expansion needs.
Fujiwara Huiyin has long wanted to expand rapidly. Currently, the South China Electrical Appliances Chain Store has 165 stores of various types, including 54 in mainland China, 25 in Baodao, 12 in Xiangjiang, 5 in Lisboa, and 69 in Southeast Asia.
She has never been willing to let the South China Electrical Appliance Chain Group be trapped in the Greater China and Southeast Asia regions. However, Li Guangyu asked her to occupy and stabilize these two regions first, so she could only hold back her inner thoughts of global expansion for the time being.
Naturally, she would not miss this opportunity when it came. She also told Li Guangyu that there was no problem with the management of her group, and that the South China Electrical Appliance Chain Group also had its own reserve talents.
Li Guangyu still has a general understanding of the specific situations of the major groups. The massive expansion of Xuelan Supermarket is indeed a bit difficult in terms of management.
He said aloud: "Xuelan, please make a specific expansion plan. This time I will allocate part of the funds from Tianyu Financial Group, plus part of my own funds, a total of two billion US dollars as special expenses for this expansion.
You make a reasonable allocation.
In addition, in terms of the management talents of Xuelan Supermarket Group, Hengyu Supermarket Group will allocate some of them to support them. I hope that these stores can be opened on New Year's Day next year.
At the same time, contact Ito-Yokado and Carrefour, cooperate with them in the Canadian market, and encircle and suppress American retail groups."
Li Xuelan is very happy that Li Guangyu agreed to her proposal. Except for the South China Electrical Appliance Chain Group, which is not her direct descendant, these three major groups are all her supporters. This time, each major group can obtain additional store expansion, and the group's strength has a good improvement.
increase.
Li Xuelan believes that this year, Hengyu Supermarket Group's turnover will once again surpass Kmart and become the second largest retail group in the world.
She spoke out: "Li Sheng, please rest assured, I will definitely arrange this matter. For future Canadian operations, I suggest that Liu Weifang return to Vancouver to coordinate the actions of several major groups, and at the same time, work with Carrefour and Ito Hiroshi
Contact the local person in charge of Huatang and jointly plan to encircle and suppress several major retail groups in the United States."
When Xuelan Supermarket was first established, Liu Weifang had been in Vancouver for a long time. She was very familiar with Vancouver and she was a very suitable person.
Just send the vice president there. As several major groups expand, the vice president may not be able to hold on. Liu Weifang can better coordinate all parties.
Regarding Li Xuelan's suggestion, Li Guangyu agreed after thinking about it for a while.
