Luo Yaoguo looked solemn and shook his head: "As for the issue of competitors, Wellcome was founded in 1945 and has been more than 30 years ago. PARKnSHOP was founded in 1973 and has a history of seven or eight years. It has strong strength. Let's enter the retail industry.
In this market, the chance of success is very small."
"Director, that's what I think." Lin Xiaoguang said softly.
"Wellcome and Parknshop imitate American-style supermarkets, which may not necessarily conform to Chinese people's living habits. If we follow their methods, we will at most be left in the dust behind them and can only compare to them. But we also have them.
We have an incomparable advantage, and we have the country as our backing.”
"I know this, you don't need to tell me."
"What does it mean to rely on the country? As we all know, Xiangjiang has a lot of people but little land, and poor resources. Water, electricity, oil, natural gas, grain, fruits and vegetables are all supplied by the mainland. In fact, the country or Hua Yuan can participate in these industries.
, even if you don’t run it as a sole proprietorship, you can still win over local patriotic wealthy businessmen in Xiangjiang to join in the cooperation, and just hold a controlling stake.”
Luo Yaoguo was gradually moved as he listened.
Lin Xiaoguang continued: "Let's not talk about the general direction. The central leaders are smarter and more capable than me. They have high-level buildings and must have plans. I only talk about the retail and supermarket industries. Now Wellcome and PARKnSHOP are doing supermarkets. There are only
For daily consumables, we rely on the mainland, but we can bring fresh products there."
"Fresh products?" Luo Yaoguo's eyes widened, a little surprised.
"Yes, fresh products, fruits, vegetables, meat, and seafood can all be placed in the supermarket. On the other side is the newly established Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. We can cooperate with local rural areas and they will exclusively supply us with vegetables, meat, and fruits.
If it’s a wider range, as for seafood, local is enough.”
Hu Jianyonghui, I'm sorry, Lin Xiaoguang said secretly.
"This is indeed an idea." Luo Yaoguo mused: "But, fresh products are easy to deteriorate, and the weather in Xiangjiang is very hot. They will probably break down after a short time. If we want to purchase air conditioners, it will cost a lot of money. Let's
There’s not enough money.”
"Air conditioners are necessary, but this is not a problem. We don't need to purchase local ones from Xiangjiang or Japan and South Korea. Domestic ones will do. As long as they are functional, it doesn't matter whether they are beautiful or not. If there are any technical problems, we will entrust a domestic research institute or
Just research and develop the school."
Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoguang thought divergently and said: "To establish a special zone in Shenzhen Town, we, Huarun, can actually invest and build a refrigerator factory. Now that the country is reforming and opening up, every household has become rich and wants to buy refrigerators."
"This area is also a market."
Maybe he could be named Hua Runhaier, he thought.
"Don't talk about the ones that are available or not, just talk about supermarkets, don't go too far." Luo Yaoguo knocked on the table.
Lin Xiaoguang came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and continued: "As a supermarket, we have no problem with the supply of goods. Any product, whether it is daily consumables or fresh food, can be found in China."
"And the most important thing is that we are a state-owned enterprise."
"What does it mean?"
"State-owned enterprises serve the people. We are different from capitalists. Capitalists live for profits. We can significantly reduce profits. Even if we have a price war with them, we can still afford it because we are backed by the state."
"Their products are all produced locally in Xiangjiang, and the cost is very high. Unlike us, the domestic cost is very low. This alone makes us invincible."
"Besides..."
"Besides what?" Luo Yaoguo's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Even if they can't survive and stop buying local products in Xiangjiang and import them domestically, from another perspective, we have won. Even if the price war ends in a tie, it will increase the country's foreign trade volume, and the country will also
Benefit.”
"Moreover, the people of Xiangjiang are also Chinese. We are blameless in serving them at low prices. Capitalists will never serve them at low prices."
"You go back first and settle down. I'll think about it carefully." Luo Yaoguo gave him a holiday directly.
When Lin Xiaoguang saw this, he smiled and withdrew directly.
On the same spot, in the office, Luo Yaoguo frowned. He had actually been persuaded, but how could he make a decision so quickly? In less than two hours, the investment of half a million Hong Kong dollars was decided. At the very least, he had to think calmly.
one time.
"This kid is quite capable of deceiving people." He couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
After laughing, he couldn't help but think deeply.
He took this position just to seek change. Hua Run must change and cannot be the same as before. This is the general manager's view.
Not only Huarun needs to change, but other foreign trade companies must also change. With the country's reform and opening up, central and state-owned enterprises and local enterprises in various provinces and cities can trade directly with foreign businessmen without the need for a middleman like Huarun.
The dilemma faced by Hua Run is a dilemma that Chinese people are very familiar with.
At the critical moment, whether to innovate or to be conservative, to overcome all difficulties or to eliminate risks, whether to focus on professionalism or politics first.
Inertia is powerful, and any move that brings about a change in direction requires a lot of force to promote.
Many foreign trade companies like Hua Run did not realize that the crisis was approaching.
With the reform and opening up, the foreign trade situation has undergone earth-shaking changes. The foreign trade system has also experienced drastic changes from mandatory planning to the use of market mechanisms, from a high degree of monopoly to full liberalization, and from eating from the big pot of the state to operating independently and taking responsibility for its own profits and losses.
Foreign trade enterprises that hold the concept of "plan executor" and "monopoly operation" have no way out except reform.
The business office is a small experiment in Huarun’s internal reform.
In the original history, Lin Xiaoguang did not know whether Huarun had this business office. After all, he had never been to Huarun, nor did anyone around him, so he did not know this history.
Thinking about it, this business office should have been caused by the plan letter he gave to Xu Zhidong.
He is actually quite proud to be able to cause a company as big as Huarun to make changes. If Huarun Wanjia becomes successful, his name will also appear on the company's successive leaders. Thinking about it, he is a little excited.
As for Huarun Haier, of course I just thought about it.
This is very difficult. It is not difficult to convince Huarun to invest in the retail market, but it is a bit of a fantasy to start a refrigerator company in China.
After reporting to the company, he went to the director's office to chat. He had completed today's task. After getting the key, he went directly to the company dormitory in Kowloon.
Huarun's management is quite strict.
Although it is in Xiangjiang, not the mainland, the company system is consistent with the national administrative department, and the management system is also the same. In order to prevent company employees from getting into trouble in Xiangjiang, a British territory, accommodation is also managed collectively and has its own dedicated accommodation building.
The dormitory is in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon.
Like many apartment buildings in the Mainland, the caretaker is bilingual and can speak Mandarin and Cantonese more authentically than Lin Xiaoguang. If he hadn't been able to speak English and simple French, he would have been outclassed by the caretaker.
Going upstairs, he found his room.
The fourth room on the fourth floor, commonly known as 404, is a single room, but the room is not small. It is about thirty square meters, which in Xiangjiang should be said to be feet. This single room can be regarded as one-third of the thousand-square-foot mansion of Xiangjiang people.
I'm tired today. I took the train again, went to see Teacher Fu again, went to report, and talked about work again.
He didn't see Teacher Fu. He felt so tired and didn't bother to eat. He went to the bathroom to take a shower and fell asleep when he came back.
After sleeping, it's the next morning when you wake up.
