On the morning of March 16, Li Guangyu listened to Li Xuelan and Chen Linwen's report on Watsons and Hengyu Supermarket Group in the office. It had been a month since the 16th of last month, and Li Guangyu also listened to some specific reports.
Following the reports from Li Xuelan and Chen Linwen, Li Guangyu was satisfied with this, at least he didn't have to worry about passenger flow.
Li Xuelan said, "Li Sheng, at present, all the small and medium-sized supermarkets in Xiangjiang have basically closed down. Now they are basically our Hengyu Supermarket, Watsons and Jardine's Wellcome. But now Wellcome still has no intention of stopping. It seems that
He is ready to fight us to the bitter end."
Li Guangyu himself also knows the helplessness of these small supermarkets. The high rents and higher purchase prices than the three major supermarkets have made them unable to follow up in this round of competition, and the owners of these supermarkets have been forced to give up.
operations in this area.
Li Guangyu said: "If we continue according to our opportunity, it depends on who can drag it on. We don't need to focus on the profits now. As long as Wellcome falls, Hengyu Supermarket Group and Watsons will be able to occupy the market."
In the Xiangjiang market, there will be no problem with profits in the future.”
Li Xuelan had known some of Li Guangyu's plans for a long time, but there was no problem with the Hengyu Supermarket Group. It was Li Guangyu's sole proprietorship anyway.
Watsons is in some trouble. It can't make much profit there, but its employees' wages have to be the same as in January. This means that Watsons not only cannot make profits, but also needs to inject a certain amount of money into Watsons every month.
Funds, this has caused some shareholders to have opinions.
Li Xuelan said: "Li Sheng, some shareholders at Hutchison Whampoa have expressed their opinions on the wages of Watsons employees. Several shareholders believe that Watsons has no profit at all now, and employee bonuses should not be paid as they were in January, and they cannot be allowed to do so."
The group headquarters here here allocates funds to Watsons in this regard."
Li Guangyu was speechless to some small shareholders. He just stared at the small amount of money in front of him and didn't think about how much profit it would bring to Watsons after Wellcome's collapse. Moreover, if Watsons only paid basic wages, under the current situation,
Who would do such a job.
Due to discounts and the closure of a large number of small and medium-sized supermarkets, the customer flow is now much greater than before. Even if Watsons adds more people, their work is still more tiring than before. If Watsons wants to reduce the number of people in all aspects, Watsons
Who will be allowed to work at that time?
Li Guangyu said: "Ignore these small shareholders, they are a bunch of short-sighted guys. If they don't want the group's shares, we can just go here and take the next step."
Perhaps thinking of something, Li Guangyu said: "I will discuss this issue with Mr. Li Ka-shing. You only need to manage the operations of Watsons. How are the people taking over there? Can they independently lead the development of Watsons now?"
Li Xuelan said: "Li Sheng, Mr. Li Ka-shing and I had already rejected the proposal of the small shareholders of Guangyu. As for the people who took over, Mr. Li Ka-shing wanted me to take over Watsons after the incident in several supermarkets was over.
Handed over to Vice Chairman Shen Wendong."
On Li Guangyu's side, Hengyu Supermarket Group is solely owned by Chen Linwen and Zhao Xiaoyan, so there won't be any big problems. It doesn't matter if Li Xuelan is there, it will be more conducive to the cooperation between Hengyu Supermarket Group and Watsons.
Li Guangyu said to Li Xuelan: "You should be mainly responsible for Watsons over there. All other business will be handled by Mr. Li Ka-shing. If he has any suggestions, you only need to agree."
Li Xuelan herself has no intention of taking care of Hutchison Whampoa's affairs. She just hopes that this incident can end soon so that she can return to Hengyu Supermarket Group and continue to serve as her CEO. The position there is not as comfortable as here.
.
Li Xuelan said: "Li Sheng, don't worry, I won't interfere with Hutchison Whampoa's other affairs."
Li Guangyu then said to Chen Linwen: "The affairs of Hengyu Supermarket Group have been busy for you during this time. You need to communicate more with Xuelan on some things to ensure that our two supermarkets can form a joint force to deal with Wellcome."
supermarket."
Chen Linwen immediately replied: "Li Sheng, I will often report the group's situation to Ms. Li, let Ms. Li understand the group's dynamics, and listen to Ms. Li's opinions on the group's development."
Chen Linwen was in a very good mood during this period. Li Xuelan went to manage Watsons, Zhao Xiaoyan was mainly responsible for convenience stores, and she was responsible for the business of Hengyu Supermarket, which involved Japan, Baodao, Lisboa and Xiangjiang. All Hengyu Supermarkets belong to
It's up to you to take charge now.
In the past, although he also had the power to govern, it was just that Li Xuelan was suppressing him, and his power was not so great. But he also knew that this was only for this period of time, and when Li Xuelan returned, he would not have such great power.
Power.
Thinking of this, Chen Linwen still felt a little disappointed. Fortunately, he was thinking about it himself, and he estimated that he would also be the group's vice president in charge of supermarkets in the future. As the supermarkets gradually expand, he will be responsible for more and more affairs.
As the president, Li Xuelan cannot only focus on the supermarket.
After Li Xuelan and Chen Linwen left, Li Guangyu found Li Ka-shing's phone number and called there.
"Hi, hello, I'm Li Ka-shing."
"Uncle Li, it's me, Guangyu."
When Li Ka-shing heard that the call was from Li Guangyu, he immediately asked: "Guangyu, do you have any reason to contact me now?"
Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Li, I have listened to Li Xuelan's report on the Guangyu Hutchison Whampoa shareholders' meeting. It seems that the ideas of those small shareholders are not consistent with ours."
Li Ka-shing himself is also quite dissatisfied with some shareholders. He has led Hutchison Whampoa to achieve great development in the past few years. But this time Watsons has only been without profit for a month, and these people started making a fuss.
Li Ka-shing said: "Guangyu, as long as we have your support, our two families will join forces and we don't need to care about their opinions."
Li Guangyu didn't want to let it go. At that time, he wanted to directly acquire their shares. However, considering Li Ka-shing's side, Li Guangyu gave up such a plan. He thought of another way to make the relationship between them closer.
.
Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Li, since these small shareholders don't want to see their profits suffer, let's be good guys this time. I plan to contact Uncle Zheng and Fourth Uncle and use our Xiangjiang China Investment Company to take their shares."
, what do you think?"
Li Ka-shing was considering this opinion put forward by Li Guangyu. He knew that Li Guangyu himself was capable of taking over the shares of these small shareholders. This time he went in such a big circle, probably to strengthen the interest alliance of several companies, and with After remembering that this incident in Huangpu may be the first step, he believes that Xiangjiang Investment Company will participate in more groups in the future.
Li Ka-shing himself does not have the strength to acquire so many shares on his own for the time being, but he is willing to strengthen relations with several companies in this way. If these shares are in the hands of these small shareholders, it is better to let Xiangjiang China Investment Company control them, which is better. It increases his voice in Hutchison Whampoa Group.
