Xiangjiang, one of the most dazzling cities in Asia in this era and the third largest financial center in the world, has contributed to its prosperity.
Li Yuhang took a direct flight from Yuzhou to Xiangjiang on May 6 to prepare for the listing of Jianan Supermarket Group on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on May 8.
Li Yuhang has given full authority to Xu Xinrong and Hu Lecheng for the group's listing tour in the past few months, while Du Ningxue is in charge. He himself has not participated. The effect has been quite good so far.
Especially last month, more than 100 new stores of Jianan Supermarket Group were opened, which once again put Jianan Supermarket Group in the spotlight.
In Zheng Mansion, Xiangjiang, Li Yuhang met Zheng Yudong face to face for the first time. To be honest, this man has reached the retirement age early, but now he is still full of energy and is at the helm of an industry with a market value of hundreds of billions.
Li Yuhang didn't know if the heads of these families in Xiangjiang were all hard-working. Whether it was Shuang Li or this one, they only started delegating power when they were eighty or ninety years old. However, these people are really well-kept. They are so busy every day, and they are still relatively busy.
longevity.
The Zheng family in Xiangjiang has a very good relationship with Li Yuhang. Their subsidiary Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Company and Jianan Supermarket Group are strategic partners. There are Chow Tai Fook jewelry counters in Jianan Supermarket stores in many important cities. This is why the Zheng family invited him on the day he arrived in Xiangjiang.
The reason why he came to the government as a guest.
Perhaps because he knew that Li Yuhang did not understand Cantonese, the conversation at Zheng Yudong's house was mainly in Mandarin today.
Don’t doubt the Mandarin proficiency of Zheng Yutong and the Zheng family. As a famous entrepreneur in Hong Kong and one of the four major families, the advancement of domestic reform and opening up has made them aware of how much wealth there is in the mainland to be developed. How could they not learn Mandarin.
Looking at the young Li Yuhang and his two sons, Zheng Yudong became more and more dissatisfied.
Li Yuhang built such a big business from scratch when he was less than 21 years old. However, neither of his two sons had the ability to satisfy him. He had been preparing to retire a few years ago and handed over the management of the property to his two sons, but it turned out that nothing happened.
Two years later, the Zheng family's industry faced a huge crisis, and he had to come back to stabilize the situation.
This is really a waste of shopping. What makes Zheng Yudong regretful is that Li Yuhang is already married, otherwise he would definitely find a way to promote the marriage between the two families and bring the relationship closer.
In Xiangjiang, marriage between wealthy families is deeply rooted in the blood. For hundreds of years, many families in Xiangjiang have established alliances based on marriage relationships.
For example, the He family and the Luo family in Xiangjiang, two of the first four major families in Xiangjiang, have been completely tied together through several generations of marriage.
In this era, the children of wealthy families look at the scenery, but only they know the pain in it. Their marriages do not have much autonomy at all, and sometimes they are just a bargaining chip for the development of the family.
Maybe some people will feel unfair to them, but these people have enjoyed the upbringing of their families since they were young? Are they treated far better than ordinary people? Then naturally they need to contribute to the family. If not for the family? These people are nothing.
Doesn't Li Yuhang know what Zheng Yudong thinks? But even if he does, it doesn't matter. He doesn't need to sacrifice his marriage to help the development of his industry? With decades of foresight, don't talk about the Zheng family? Even if he has two talents in Hong Kong, he is worthy of it.
Looking at the Zheng brothers doing it again? Li Yuhang also felt sad for the two of them. When they were young, Zheng Yudong suppressed them. When Zheng Yudong finally let go, he didn't expect that his son (nephew) would suppress them again? Being called
He is the new generation head of the Zheng family.
Not just the Zheng family? It seems that this situation occurs in many families in Xiangjiang. The first-generation heads are too powerful and are reluctant to retire. As a result, when these people actually retire, the second generation is already in their fifties and sixties.
Coupled with some problems with one's own ability? Instead, the third generation of young people is suppressed, especially the heirs? The old guys would rather choose their grandchildren with the best abilities than hand over the family industry to them.
Li Yuhang thinks that the reason for this situation is that firstly, there is indeed a gap between the capabilities of these second generations and his father. Secondly, these leaders are not willing to delegate power and would rather work hard for a long time than take care of themselves at home.
Fortunately, Li Yuhang is still young? He doesn’t want to think about whether he will be like this in the future.
When talking about the retail development in the mainland? Li Yuhang said with a smile: "I believe Mr. Zheng also knows the current domestic retail market situation? Your New World Supermarket is currently developing quite well."
Although Li Yuhang and Zheng's jewelry store are cooperating, in central China, the competition between Jianan Supermarket and Zheng's New World Supermarket is also not small, especially in Hubei Province. If it hadn't been for the retail industry summit held last year, only
I'm afraid a price war has already started.
This is the sea of business. Whether it is an enemy or a friend is not fixed. There is also competition in cooperation.
Nowadays, the domestic retail situation has become a competitive one. Many small and medium-sized retail companies have begun to disappear and are replaced by these large retail companies.
Especially Jianan, Huarun, Shuguo, Lianhua, Yonghui, Parknshop, Zhongbai, Fruit City, Hongqi Chain, New Four Seasons, Zhuhai, New World, Wal-Mart, Carrefour, Ito-Yokado, Metro, etc.
Large-scale retail department stores are now constantly conquering cities and seizing blank markets, causing many local retail companies to close their doors.
Especially with the large-scale expansion of many enterprises, the country has entered a buyer's market, and some enterprises whose services cannot keep up with the times are destined to be eliminated by the market.
"Mr. Li, I'm afraid that the domestic retail market structure will take shape soon. Jianan Supermarket Group starts from Sichuan and Shu provinces, along the Yangtze River, and occupies the markets of the coastal provinces, plus the markets of Shandong and Henan provinces.
However, the important South China market and North China market have not entered. Now these places have been almost occupied by major retail companies. I am afraid it will not be easy for Jianan Supermarket Group to enter these areas."
Zheng Yudong still admires Li Yuhang's layout. Along the Yangtze River, there is convenient water transportation. In the current situation where the inland transportation is not very developed, it is a very good supplement to Jianan Supermarket Logistics.
Moreover, Jianan Supermarket Group does not focus on decentralized layout in big cities. From Sichuan and Sichuan Provinces to Hubei Province, and from Hubei Province to Anhui Province, when it enters Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, there are Jianan Supermarkets in every county, city and city, and it is a contiguous one.
layout, which has also greatly enhanced the competitiveness of Jianan Supermarket Group.
Li Yuhang didn't expect that his arrival would cause such a big butterfly effect, which also caused big problems in his plan, but it didn't matter. As long as these cities continued to expand, there would be many opportunities to enter other areas in the future.
"The current situation is good for everyone, and I believe the senior management also likes to see this situation. Although there are many retail giants emerging, every province and city has more than one large retail department store company.
Although this is a huge pressure on Jianan Supermarket Group, it is also the driving force of our group. Only in this way can Jianan Supermarket Group and I be safer, what do you think?"
Zheng Yudong thought that this young man had such a long-term vision. Which retail company in the country is currently the most prosperous, it is undoubtedly the Jianan Supermarket Group. Especially the retail price war launched last year has made many companies afraid of it.
It is said that Jianan Supermarket Group cannot monopolize the retail department market of a province, but it is possible to monopolize only one city. However, Li Yuhang did not do this. He even just suppressed his competitors without destroying them.
Beaten to death, this has to be said about Li Yuhang's cunning.
