There is nothing calm about entering the business world. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Li Yuhang is fortunate to have a group of elites working for him. Currently, there are still many restrictions on foreign companies in China, so he has so much time.
Stay in Guocheng to accompany Li Yuxin.
From last year’s National Day to this year’s New Year’s Day, in three months, in the east China market of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Fujian and Shandong, in central China, Hubei, Hunan and Henan, and in Sichuan and Sichuan provinces, Jianan Supermarket Group and major competitors were engaged in fierce competition for the market. Although
There is no price war, and there are constant battles over events, points cards, shopping cards, etc.
At the same time, there are endless improvements in services and food safety. Now major retail supermarket companies have their own food quality testing centers to ensure that there will be no quality problems in the products purchased by consumers.
In addition to Li Yuhang, in South China, the entry of the new Four Seasons in its previous life also triggered a boycott by local retail companies, and competition has never stopped.
In North China, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Qin Province, the competition among major retail department stores and supermarkets is intensifying. This era seems to be an era where the big fish eats the small fish. Everyone wants their supermarket to become the domestic hegemon. Expansion is the key for retail companies in this era.
Main theme.
On New Year's Day, it's not just the opening of Star City. After more than a year of overtime construction, the first shopping mall of Jianan Supermarket Group was officially put into use.
This is also the first single-family commercial complex in Guocheng. Before the completion of Mingyu Plaza, this will be the newest shopping mall in Guocheng.
Because of New Year's Day, the place was also crowded, and the Jianan Supermarket Group's office was also set up on the sixth floor of the shopping mall. Now there is finally a bit of a lineup.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yuhang walked into the chairman's office on the sixth floor of the shopping mall for the first time. He was quite satisfied with the layout. He knew very well that Dong Haiyan handled all this.
Originally, the group headquarters should have a holiday today except for the staff on duty. Because the shopping mall is open for business and the headquarters is located on the sixth floor of the shopping mall, all employees except for a few employees are working normally today.
After dealing with these documents on his desk, Li Yuhang specially held a high-level meeting of the group to make arrangements for this year's development.
In 1996, Jianan Supermarket Group mainly focused on occupying and stabilizing the market in Sichuan and Shu provinces in East China and Central China, and had no intention of expanding to other regions.
Keep a low profile for a year or two, wait until the end of 1997? Strongly enter South China? Improve the layout of Jianan Supermarket Group.
Seriously, how weak is the headquarters of Jianan Supermarket Group? Apart from Li Yuhang, the president, there are five vice presidents? Only executive vice president Xiao Yunkai is at the headquarters? Two of the other four are at the group's East China headquarters, and two belong to the group's Central China headquarters.
Fortunately, the directors (general managers) of each department of the group have returned to the headquarters and are responsible for the affairs of each department. Otherwise, the group headquarters would really have existed in name only.
Although the financial statistics for last year have not been completed yet, Li Yuhang is very excited regardless of the approximate figures. If you do not count some cheating, Jianan Supermarket Group's revenue last year will rank first in the domestic retail supermarket industry.
Li Yuhang said with a smile: "There is no rush now. In half a month, we will know the revenue of Hualian, Parknshop, Huarun, Shuguo, etc. Now we have to set our goals further? In the future, Wal-Mart, Carrefour, Ito
Yanghuatang, Metro, etc. are our goals."
The senior executives present are already aware of the ambitions of their boss, and they also hope that one day the group will be able to compete with these world hegemons.
Even if the group's current revenue is only a fraction of the other party's, they will not feel discouraged? Those overlords have a history of decades, but Jianan Supermarket Group has only been in business for two years since its first store? To this day? In operation branches
The number has reached 502.
As the domestic economy continues to develop, Future Group will have plenty of opportunities to catch up with each other.
This scale has reached the scale of Yonghui in his previous life in 2016. Prices are also relatively low in this era, otherwise the revenue will explode.
Think about Yong Hui. In 2020, there were more than 700 stores and half-year revenue exceeded 50 billion, which is terrifying.
As for the revenue of Jianan Supermarket Group last year, excluding the 96 stores that opened today, the revenue of the 406 branches last year was approximately 9.9 billion. Li Yuhang does not know whether it will eventually exceed 10 billion.
Moreover, due to the rapid expansion of Lingjiang Electric and Shuning Electric, Jianan Supermarket Group's home appliance sales business has been weakened to a certain extent. In addition, the price war among home appliance brands is already underway, which will have an impact on the revenue and profits of Jianan Supermarket Group.
Very big.
The most important thing is that there are more and more large-scale retail companies. Buyers and sellers have moved away from each other, gradually turning into a buyer's market. The operations of supermarkets are becoming more and more standardized. It is difficult for Jianan Supermarket Group to leave its opponents behind.
Li Yuhang estimates that as inflation decreases and there are more and more retail supermarkets in the same market, the revenue of Jianan Supermarket Group's single stores will stop rising, and the revenue of some branches will even decline.
Maybe the brilliant average revenue per store in 1995 will become the best result in the next few years. A very simple example. Li Yuhang clearly remembers that vegetable prices will drop significantly in 1996. This is very important for Jianan, which mainly focuses on fresh agricultural products.
It is also a huge impact for supermarket groups.
Li Yuhang is not too worried about this. These are all minor problems. The biggest impact on this kind of physical retail will be the future Internet e-commerce.
He has already prepared for this. When the time comes, Jianan Supermarket Group, Lingjiang Electrical Appliance Chain Company and IKEA Convenience Store will join forces to establish an e-commerce platform, targeting Jindong.
The Tesco website that is to be established in Yuzhou will compete with a certain Bao. As for Pinxixi, Li Yuhang can just ask an investment company to take a stake. He, the Jianan Group, will not do such a company on his own to avoid affecting the image of the Jianan Group.
When the time comes to combine online and offline stores, and all stores belong to several major companies, regardless of the issue of rising rents, Jianan Supermarket Group and IKEA, Lingjiang will definitely not face a major retreat.
Those present are not aware of their boss’s plans at the moment. When Li Yuhang mentioned that he would target Wal-Mart, Carrefour, etc., the first thing they thought of was to continue to expand at a high speed.
This also made the senior executives present excited. In their opinion, within a few years, except for a few areas in China, there will be Jianan Supermarket branches in most cities, counties, districts, and even some towns.
It's a pity that Jiang Jinkun, director of the market development department, just proposed to enter the Guangdong market, but was rejected by Li Yuhang, who still set the expansion target in East and Central China.
This surprised the senior management present, but they were not discouraged. Last year, they only considered East China because some accidents led to Central China.
The plan cannot keep up with the changes. They believe that as long as there is an opportunity, Jianan Supermarket Group will take advantage of the trend and enter South China.
