Chapter seven hundred and eighty third logistics layout
The next afternoon, in the reception area of Li Guangyu's office, Li Xuelan was reporting to Li Guangyu on the situation of Hengyu Supermarket Group.
After Li Xuelan finished speaking, Li Guangyu said, "Now that the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate has stabilized, and good news has also come, the rush to buy supplies will not happen again. In the past few days, you have to calculate how much we import due to the fall in the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate."
product costs and adjust the selling prices of supermarket products.”
"At the same time, contact the fresh agricultural products import and export trading company in Pengcheng, Mainland China, to negotiate on the new purchase unit price and determine a reasonable purchase price. At the same time, I would like to express my gratitude to them for their support during this period."
If the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate hadn't stabilized, Li Xuelan would have long wanted to adjust the selling prices of her products. After all, their supermarket group also had to eat, their employees had to be paid, and their stores had to pay rent. Such an operation would make it impossible for them to make a profit.
Now that the situation has finally stabilized, the citizens of Xiangjiang will not say anything about adjusting the prices of imported products based on exchange rate changes. During this period, Hengyu Supermarket Group and Watsons have paid a lot to stabilize prices in Xiangjiang.
The Hengyu Supermarket Group is a little better, at least they have support from other regions. Now Watsons is basically the Xiangjiang market. If there are losses here, there are no other regional markets to help them. They can only fill the gap with the Hutchison Whampoa headquarters.
Fortunately, their two major supermarkets stocked up a large amount of products in advance, so that they did not suffer major losses during this round of crisis. They also stabilized prices in Hong Kong and did not cause chaos in this area. This has beneficially improved the performance of the two major supermarkets.
The prestige among the citizens of Xiangjiang has repeatedly said that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages to them.
This crisis made Carrefour and Wal-Mart choose to withdraw. They have truly stabilized their market in Xiangjiang. When they compete with these two major supermarkets outside, they no longer have to worry about the market where their headquarters is located being captured by the other party.
Li Xuelan said, "Li Sheng, after this price adjustment is completed, I plan to go to Pengcheng in person to express my gratitude to Pengcheng Fresh Agricultural Products Import and Export Trading Company. At the same time, our group has calculated the losses they will suffer from supporting us this time. I also
It will be donated to the Pengcheng City Government for them to use for infrastructure construction. The total amount is HK$10,000 these days."
Li Xuelan's personal visit this time also shows Hengyu Supermarket Group's respect for the support given by the mainland. This time it had nothing to do with Pengcheng Fresh Agricultural Products Import and Export Trading Company, but the mainland's senior officials, Guangdong Province senior officials and Pengcheng senior officials
In order to maintain the stability of prices in Xiangjiang, the company must supply them with goods at the price before the exchange rate changes. Their group must accept this obligation.
After hearing this, Li Guangyu said, "In this way, the group will use part of the funds to make up 30 million Hong Kong dollars and donate it to the Pengcheng government in the form of an integer, so that they can better equip infrastructure, improve the investment environment, and promote Pengcheng government."
Better development of the urban area.”
Then Li Guangyu and Li Xuelan talked about the store acquisition issue. Li Guangyu had already communicated with the leaders of several major groups in the morning, and they just asked Li Xuelan to arrange personnel to go over and connect.
Anyway, Li Guangyu paid them in cash, and they could just acquire some more properties when the time came. The premium purchased by the Li Group would be treated as labor costs for their resale acquisitions. There was no need for them to cause Li Guangyu's displeasure in this regard.
Li Xuelan is very happy about this. This way, he owns all the stores under Hengyu Supermarket Group. No matter whether the property market rises or falls, it will not affect the operation of Hengyu Supermarket Group.
And this will also be a weapon for Hengyu Supermarket Group to compete with other supermarket groups. When necessary, Hengyu Supermarket Group can engage in price wars with each other regardless of store costs.
Li Xuelan said, "Li Sheng, after I go back, I will arrange personnel to communicate with them and strive to have all our store properties in Xiangjiang belong to our Hengyu Supermarket Group within a week."
Li Guangyu once again told Li Xuelan to strengthen the construction of logistics. At present, Hengyu Supermarket Group is expanding rapidly in Japan, South Korea, Baodao, Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia. This has very high requirements for logistics. The timely transportation of freight is related to whether each supermarket can
Normal business.
Moreover, Li Guangyu is well aware of the glory of e-commerce in the future, so how could he not get involved? When the time comes, he will have his own logistics company as support and various supermarkets as warehouses, allowing him to seize the opportunity.
Li Xuelan doesn't know Li Guangyu's future plans, but she is now very aware of the importance of logistics, especially for products that cannot be stored for a long time, such as fresh agricultural products, which requires the support of a strong logistics team to ensure that major supermarkets
supply.
Now not only its Xiangjiang Supermarket operates fresh agricultural products, but supermarkets in other regions also operate in this area, which puts forward higher requirements for the group's logistics.
In this regard, Bentley Group is also manufacturing vans for supermarket groups to facilitate the supermarket groups to transport some products.
Li Xuelan said, "Li Sheng, our group has strengthened its logistics company. This time our supermarket will once again spend HKD 0.0 billion on the logistics company, establish our logistics centers in some major cities, and strengthen our logistics layout. At the same time,
Our group has also implemented land-sea combined transportation with its partners, Wheelock Shipping Company, to ensure the transportation of our group’s products.”
Regarding the construction of logistics centers, the current cost is not too high, and they are mainly constructed in a few central cities, so the investment is not too huge.
After the rise of e-commerce in the future, logistics demand will surge sharply. At that time, logistics centers will need to be laid out in various cities, and investment will be extremely huge.
Hengyu Supermarket Group is now starting to slowly lay out and build. By the time e-commerce emerges, the logistics companies under Hengyu Supermarket Group will have almost completed their layout in this area.
At present, it is mainly sea and land combined transportation. In the future, Xiangjiang Air Transport Group will also have a freight company. In terms of logistics, the Li Group will be able to combine sea, land and air to serve customers by category.
After Li Xuelan left Li Guangyu's office, she immediately notified the group's senior management to attend the meeting, made arrangements for the acquisition of Xiangjiang stores, and asked the acquisition team to make reasonable arrangements and strive to complete the acquisition of all Xiangjiang Hengyu Supermarket Group stores within a week.
Li Xuelan also asked the Finance Department and Purchasing Department to coordinate to adjust the price of imported products for three days. After three days, the group will officially implement the new selling price. At that time, she will hold a press conference in person to inform Xiangjiang about this price adjustment.
Citizens explain.
Li Xuelan said to the chairman of the logistics company, "Our headquarters will allocate HKD 0.0 billion to your company's account. While you will use it to increase transportation vehicles, you will also need to expand your operations in Seoul, Tokyo, Taoyuan, Xiangjiang, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Bangkok, Jakarta and other major cities.
Establish a logistics center in Manila to improve our group’s logistics layout.”
Their logistics center does not need to be in a bustling area this time, it just needs to be in the suburbs, so the land price will not be too high. A budget of HK$200 million for a region to build a logistics center should be enough for now.
If it is not enough in the later stage, she will apply to Li Guangyu and continue to inject capital into the logistics company. Hengyu Supermarket Group is currently not short of funds.
