The national college entrance examination is in full swing, but bad news has been heard in the East China market, that is, the retail price war has continued for a long time, which has alarmed the central government. In order to solve the problem of wanting to close, Vice President Zhu personally launched the event
The National Retail Industry Summit is located in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, July 10, and it is also the first day after the national college entrance examination ends.
As the president of Jianan Supermarket Group, Li Yuhang naturally received an invitation. Guocheng, who received the invitation with him, also Huang Shoucheng, president of Jianan Agricultural Products Group, and Chu Xingchen, general manager of Guocheng Retail Company.
In addition, Zheng Hongmao, president of Lingjiang Electrical Appliances Chain Company in Yuzhou, and Gan Shaohui, general manager of Shanghai IKEA convenience store company, also received invitations.
I was originally planning to stay in Guocheng to accompany Li Yuxin, but he had to go to this meeting. Fortunately, Sichuan Province only took the exam for No. 7 or No. 8 for two days, so Wang Bixia also got rid of Li Yudan and had time to take care of her.
Li Yuxin.
On the morning of the 9th, Li Yuhang, Huang Shoucheng and his assistant Dong Haiyan arrived at Yuzhou Jiangbei Airport accompanied by bodyguards. Zheng Hongmao had been waiting here for a long time.
I have seen Mr. Zhu many times on TV influence. In reality, this is the first time I have met this kind of meeting.
The attendees this time were a bit beyond his imagination. He estimated that more than 2,000 people attended the meeting in the entire venue.
This includes not only the heads of many large and medium-sized retail companies in retail department stores, but also professional wholesalers such as hardware and building materials, as well as heads of medium and large trading companies, and also representatives of manufacturers.
The theme of this conference is to improve the development of the market sales system, mainly discussing some phenomena that have emerged in the East China retail market.
Of course, it is mainly based on belittlement. The senior management absolutely does not want the East China retail market to be monopolized by one or several companies, which is very unfavorable to the citizens.
Now several major supermarket companies rely on their strong capital to start a price war, which is very unfair to small and medium-sized retailers. In response to this issue, senior management conducted special research. The purpose of holding this meeting is to communicate with everyone in advance, for the subsequent
Relevant documents and regulations are laid out.
In a word, it is necessary to leave a certain amount of development space for small and medium-sized retail enterprises, and one province and one region must not allow a few companies to monopolize them.
As Li Yuhang, although he was a little unwilling to do so, he could not resist his thighs. In order to develop better, he could only follow the above requirements. As the old saying goes, those who know the times are heroes.
Moreover, the Jianan Supermarket Group has already gained a good advantage in the East China market. Last month, it acquired 45 stores of small and medium-sized retail enterprises, allowing it to develop its influence to Anhui Province and Fujian Province? Plus on the first day of this month
20 newly opened stores? The number of Jianan Supermarkets in East China has reached 103 stores, which has exceeded 101 in Sichuan and Shu Province.
Now, Jianan Supermarket Group can say without hesitation? It is definitely the first place in East China retail supermarkets? Even Lianhua and Shuguo are expanding rapidly during this period, but in terms of the number of branches and daily turnover,
There are many gaps in the East China region of Jianan Supermarket Group.
It’s not a big mistake for the superiors to take action this time? Now, there are at least three supermarkets in the three cities of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, including Huarun, Lianhua, Shuguo, and Jiananzhong, as well as prefecture-level cities and central cities.
Since the market has been selling 20% off in the past two months? Most customers have been shopping in several supermarkets? From clothes to shoes and bags, from sauce, vinegar, oil, salt and rice, to vegetables, fruits, and daily necessities? Basics
I chose several major supermarkets to buy them.
This makes many small and medium-sized retailers unable to operate? If the above is allowed to develop, in a few months, in the cities of East China, there will only be a few major supermarkets left in department stores, including IKEA, Shuning and some stores.
There are small supermarkets with relatively low operating costs that do not hire employees.
What is most worried about? If you don’t control it as soon as possible, will this incident of plundering the market with capital spread out of the East China market? In central China, southern China, North China and other places compete to happen. These giants who have tasted the sweetness will definitely not only satisfy this
A market.
In addition, foreign world-class retail giants have entered the country? Once these giants follow suit and use their strong capital to suppress domestic retail companies? This will undoubtedly be a huge disaster for these domestic companies.
In order to maintain healthy development of the market? In order to maintain fair competition in society? A law against this kind of competition has also begun to be nurtured.
Li Yuhang sat down honestly in front of the audience during the morning meeting, and was also thinking about how the next path for the Jianan Supermarket Group was going.
If nothing unexpected happens, the retail market in East China will return to normal tomorrow. Small and medium-sized retailers who persist will be able to cheer, while those who fail to persist may be upset.
And the top domestic retail companies, like them, need to understand the connotation of this meeting, expand their own power as much as possible under compliance, and obtain greater benefits.
In the afternoon of that day, the Ministry of Commerce specially awarded some outstanding companies, including the Jianan Supermarket Group and the Jianan Agricultural Products Group.
The common reason for these two companies to win the award is fresh agricultural products. In recent years, the central government has been carrying out vegetable basket projects. Both the company has done a good job in this regard, enriching the dining tables of citizens. The two companies are also known as
For people's livelihood enterprises.
The two major groups have won many awards such as districts, cities and even provinces. This is the first time the central government and ministries have awarded them. Li Yuhang is still very happy about this. From this perspective, the Jianan Supermarket Group has fought in East China.
The price war did not leave a bad impression in the eyes of the top leaders.
However, there was an emergency for Li Yuhang. Perhaps the Jianan Supermarket Group is too famous, or perhaps he is too young himself. When mentioning the future prospects of the domestic retail industry, Mr. Zhu specially named him and asked him to talk about it.
Talk about your own opinions.
To be honest, Li Yuhang brought a pair of ears to this meeting and had no plans for any speech. Now he was driven to the shelves and could only pick up some nice words.
In short, you are good, I am good, everyone is happy, trust the government, full of confidence, and have a bright future.
Of course, this guy would not say that he would wait for more than ten or twenty years. At that time, most entities would be defeated by Internet e-commerce, and many large supermarkets could only keep closing their stores.
He will not mention that the biggest obstacle to entities in the future is high store rental. If he wants to be competitive in the future, he should do his own store as much as possible and reduce his own operating costs.
These are the secrets in his heart and the capital for him to win competition in the future. In the future, every convenience store and every Lingjiang electrical chain store will be a express delivery store under him. Each storage center is the storage center of his shopping website.
When he had such a big advantage, he didn't believe that he could not beat other peers.
Li Yuhang spoke for more than ten minutes, but there was not much material things inside. However, after he finished speaking, there was still warm applause on the scene. Perhaps these were used to hearing these words.
Later, Dai Zhichao, general manager of Huarun Supermarket, and Liu Qingcheng, the general manager of Lianhua, also talked about their own views on the future development.
In particular, Dai Zhichao's words are quite sharp, denounced enterprises in some regions for monopolizing local enterprises, jointly resisting and suppressing foreign enterprises, conducting closed operations, and threatening suppliers to choose one of two, which has brought great importance to fair competition and healthy development of the market.
