Li Xuelan's negotiations with Pengcheng's senior management and Pengcheng Fresh Agricultural Products Import and Export Trading Company went very smoothly. The two parties signed a contract. Starting from May 31, Pengcheng Company will officially supply Hengyu Supermarket Group.
Currently, major supermarkets in Xiangjiang are demarcating an area for renovation in preparation for the official sales of fresh agricultural products on June 1.
Because Hengyu Supermarket Group also sells pork and other products, Hengyu Supermarket Group also needs to have its own slaughterhouse, so as to ensure the supply of pork to major supermarkets.
On the morning of June 25, Li Guangyu personally went to the Governor's Mansion to communicate with Youde about the slaughterhouse.
Currently, the two major slaughterhouses in Hong Kong are located in Yuen Long and Tsuen Wan. Both are currently run by the government. If Li Guangyu wants to intervene in this area, he must first communicate with the government. At present, the Hong Kong government has not yet allowed private operations in this area.
.
Youde has no objection to Li Guangyu's supermarkets purchasing fresh agricultural products directly from the mainland. In Xiangjiang, most of the fresh products have been provided by the mainland in recent years.
The company responsible for this is Ng Fung Hong, and its parent company is the well-known Huarun Group in mainland China. Now that Li Guangyu wants to join this industry, Youde is very happy. Only with competition can there be vitality. Being monopolized in this area is not good for the citizens of Xiangjiang.
This is not a good thing, especially since it is in the interests of the Li Group to compete with each other.
After Li Guangyu explained his intention, Youde said: "Mr. Li, the reason why our major slaughterhouses in Xiangjiang have always been firmly in the hands of the government is that we hope to improve the safety and security of meat for the more than five million citizens in Xiangjiang.
products, so even if several major slaughterhouses are in the red, our government has never planned to privatize them."
Li Guangyu immediately said: "Mr. Governor, our Hengyu Supermarket Group has always attached great importance to product quality and safety. For this reason, our supermarket has also specially established a quality inspection agency, mainly for food safety, in order to be able to provide Xiangjiang with
Citizens will also pay more attention to the slaughterhouses in providing safe and secure products. Transferring this aspect to our Hengyu Supermarket Group will not only reduce the burden on the government, but also facilitate government supervision."
Li Guangyu still hopes to take over a slaughterhouse so that he will not be controlled by others. Even if the Hengyu Supermarket Group only provides one-fifth of the meat for the citizens of Xiangjiang, this is still a terrifying amount. He must be prepared accordingly.
Well, after having its own slaughterhouse, Hengyu Supermarket Group can make reasonable arrangements based on changes in supermarket sales.
The Xiangjiang government has long been interested in transferring this slaughterhouse, which has been losing money every year, but the biggest demand in this area was the Huarun Group in mainland China, so they have not made this decision for a long time.
Now that the Li's Consortium wants to get involved in this aspect, Youde is naturally willing to transfer this to Li Guangyu. In terms of procurement, the Li's Consortium has no advantage compared to the Huarun Group. Governor Youde hopes to make as much concessions as possible in Xiangjiang.
The Li Group has a greater advantage than the Huarun Group, so the competition between the two parties will become more intense.
After all, the market in Xiangjiang is so big, and the intervention of the Li Group means that the Huarun Group's market will become smaller, especially since the Hengyu Supermarket Group is located in all important areas of Xiangjiang, and its channels are wider than that of the Huarun Group.
Youde only needs two parties to compete. As for which of the two major groups can occupy the Hong Kong market, he does not care. Youde does not believe that the two groups will make too many concessions in this regard.
Li Guangyu will definitely not let go of this market. Huarun Group has been operating in this area for decades, and the Xiangjiang market has long been regarded as their sphere of influence. Now that Hengyu Supermarket Group has stepped in, how can they be willing to do so?
Just hand over the market to others and wait until the time comes to watch the show.
Youde said: "Mr. Li, I also know that Hengyu Supermarket Group attaches great importance to this aspect, but I still hope that you will not relax supervision on food safety, especially now that you have to deal in fresh agricultural products, which is related to Hong Kong."
There must be no problem with the safety of three meals a day for tens of millions of citizens. Neither you nor our government can afford such consequences."
Li Guangyu will naturally attach great importance to this aspect. Food safety is the top priority of the supermarket group. This aspect involves thousands of households. If there is any problem here, it will not only be the Hengyu Supermarket Group, but also the entire Li Group.
Everyone will be severely impacted, and years of hard work may collapse in one fell swoop.
Li Guangyu assured: "Mr. Governor, please rest assured that our group's quality inspection agency will strictly conduct random inspections of products. If there are unqualified products, we will return the entire batch and will never let them be used in our products."
Supermarkets are on sale. At the same time, I also hope that government departments will cooperate with us to supervise the products so that our supermarkets can provide healthy and safe food to the citizens of Xiangjiang."
"I don't know which slaughterhouse Mr. Li is planning to acquire. I believe you have also investigated the situation of several slaughterhouses. Our government also hopes that these slaughterhouses can operate better."
Li Guangyu naturally collected some information in this area. Currently, he is mainly targeting the slaughterhouse in Yuen Long. The traffic there is relatively good and it will be easier to expand in the future.
After Youde learned that Li Guangyu wanted to acquire the Yuen Long Slaughterhouse, he said to him: "Mr. Li, you will arrange for the group personnel to come to discuss with the management authority in the afternoon. I will inform them and hope that you can slaughter the Yuen Long slaughterhouse."
The current loss-making situation of the market has been reversed. At the same time, I hope you will pay attention to food safety issues. In this regard, our government agencies will supervise and inspect you in the market."
Li Guangyu replied: "Thank you Mr. Governor for your support, and please rest assured that our Hengyu Supermarket Group must attach great importance to food safety issues. This is not only responsible for our company, but also responsible for the more than five million citizens of Xiangjiang."
Later, Youde also communicated with Li Guangyu about the Xiangjiang Telephone Group. Currently, there are only three regions in the world that are building signal base stations on a large scale, and Xiangjiang is one of them. Even the British mainland has not taken any action in this regard.
Youde is very happy about this. He also hopes that this aspect can be put into use as soon as possible, especially earlier than Finland and Chicago, so that Xiangjiang can take the lead in this aspect. In the future, Xiangjiang will be listed as the first one that can use mobile phones.
The city of communication.
Li Guangyu said: "Our Xiangjiang Telephone Group is advancing in an orderly manner according to the plan. If nothing else happens, our Xiangjiang Telephone Group will be put into use by the end of this year. Both Motorola and Nokia plan to launch mobile phones next year, mainly in the signal field.
We need to be ahead of them in base station construction."
Youde said happily: "Our development in Xiangjiang still needs the support of these high-tech industries. Your Xiangjiang Telephone Group has done a good job in this aspect. I hope your group can increase research and development and investment in this area, so that our Xiangjiang Telephone Group can
It can have a place in the mobile communications and mobile phone industries."
At present, there are too few high-tech industries in Xiangjiang. Although Youde wants to change it, there are currently too few talents in this field in Xiangjiang and cannot support it at all. He can only hope that the major families in Xiangjiang can invest more.
