Originally, Li Yuhang didn't feel any pressure in China except for a few major retail groups in the country.
Perhaps because his development is so eye-catching, it has also caused huge changes in the domestic retail market.
The first is the merger between state-owned retail stores. Beijing Hualian and Shanghai Lianhua merged. Shuguo Supermarket was also established in Suzhou and announced its official entry into the retail chain market.
In Fujian Province, a young man named Zhang Xuansong founded a supermarket called Yonghui. The model was very different from Jianan Supermarket, and it focused more on the sales of fresh agricultural products.
In South China and Southeast China, I don’t know if Li Jiacheng was not happy because of Li Yuhang’s rejection. Parknshop Supermarket announced that its parent company Watsons will inject a new capital of 500 million yuan. The first step is planned to be in Pengcheng, Yangcheng, and Guancheng in Guangdong Province.
Twenty new PARKnSHOP supermarkets were opened in cities such as Chancheng and Ludao, Licheng, and Rongcheng in Fujian Province.
Central China is not lagging behind, and Zhongbai Group has also accelerated its pace of expansion to seize the market in central China.
Because of the butterfly effect brought by Li Yuhang, big guys from all over the country who are interested in taking a share of the retail chain market have taken action, and expansion has become a consensus among everyone.
Li Yuhang received a joint invitation from the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the Department of Commerce to attend the Provincial Retail Industry Conference in Chengdu. The theme of this conference was about the development and future of the provincial retail chain industry.
In addition to him, the meeting was attended by the general manager of Jincheng Group Commercial Company, its deputy general manager and general manager of Hongqi Chain Company, as well as the general manager of Yuzhou Department Store, the general manager of New Four Seasons Supermarket, and the general manager of Fuzhou Department Store.
, Jiazhou Shopping Mall Industrial Company, Rongzhou Department Store, Sweet City Department Store and many other general managers or deputy general managers of influential retail companies in the province.
Under the new situation of the retail market, how some companies reform and change their business ideas is a focus of this meeting.
And according to rumors, this time the province intends to integrate the province's resources and focus on developing several approved retail chain companies through mergers and acquisitions.
This aspect is relatively unfavorable for Li Yuhang. Once the above really operates like this, the main competitors he faces in the province will no longer be Yuzhou Department Store and Jincheng Group Commercial Company, but there will also be
Many large chain companies came out to compete with him for the market.
But he couldn't change this, so he could only attend the meeting and make some preparations for future developments.
I don’t know about other places, but Guocheng intends to integrate the supply and marketing cooperative stores and department stores in three districts, five counties and one city, transform them into Guocheng Retail Company, and integrate the city’s state-owned retail stores.
Once the restructuring is completed, Guocheng Retail will secure its position as the second retail company in the Guocheng market. Even Mingyu Hardware Sales Company, which currently accounts for 30% of the urban hardware market, will only be ranked behind.
Li Yuhang always feels that the province's move this time is aimed at him, and it seems that he does not want him to occupy too high a market share in the province.
Li Yuhang has passed through Yuzhou several times in this life, but he has never been to Chengdu, the provincial capital. This time he brought Li Yuxin with him, just so he could inspect the development in Chengdu and also travel around Chengdu.
There is no expressway, and the railway is not open to traffic. The road from Guocheng to Rongcheng is destined to be long. This time he and Li Yuxin did not take the Mercedes-Benz S-Class to Rongcheng, but made a minibus newly purchased by Jianan Supermarket, which cost a lot of money.
More than one million.
With a full load of 19 people, it was enough for him, Li Yuxin, and security to wait in one car.
It’s not that Li Yuhang pretends to be low-key, this car is not low-key at all. Mainly because it doesn’t have high speeds and runs on national highways. Taking a Mercedes-Benz S-Class is worse than taking this car.
This time, in addition to him, Chen Kai, the main person in charge of the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and Zhang Jianmin, the owner of Mingyu Hardware Sales Company, also took his car to attend the meeting in Chengdu.
The over one million yuan in this car was really worth it. There were no big bumps along the way. The configuration was extremely luxurious, with leather seats and spacious space. Chen Kai and Zhang Jianmin were full of praise for it.
On the way, Chen Kai said: "Mr. Li, this meeting is a storm for the province's retail industry. What do you think of this?"
Why doesn't Li Yuhang understand what's going on here? Such a large-scale reform will inevitably involve the interests of all parties.
Not to mention anything else, just that Guocheng wants to integrate its supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores in various counties, which involves a lot of interests, because once the restructuring is completed, these profits will not go to the county and city governments, but directly to the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.
Already.
There is also the issue of positions. Once merged, many companies will be eliminated. The management placement of these companies also needs to be considered.
So despite the big move this time, it will not take three or five days to truly complete the integration, and the expansion of Jianan Supermarket will not stop.
Li Yuhang said with a smile: "Director Chen, I'm not sure about this matter. After all, I look at the problem from a businessman's perspective. Some methods of doing things are not suitable for you. I believe that both the province and the city will be able to properly solve the restructuring."
various problems.”
Regarding Li Yuhang's cunning response, Chen Kai just smiled. He knew what Li Yuhang was thinking.
It can be seen from the previous preparations to acquire the city department store and later the second silk factory. If this person were to lead the restructuring, I am afraid that most of the current management will be directly taken over.
However, when their government undergoes restructuring, they do not need to arrange the work of these people in advance, which makes integration very difficult.
He immediately said to Zhang Jianmin: "Mr. Zhang, you don't have to worry. Although our city will also integrate hardware sales, the government will not be biased. Our restructuring this time is to promote state-owned enterprises to catch up with private enterprises."
, let the city’s economy present a situation where state funds and the private economy develop together.”
Zhang Jianmin is not as confident as Li Yuhang. Once the integration of the city is completed, I am afraid that orders from the government will not be considered. Facing the market, municipal enterprises supported by huge stores are not what Mingyu Hardware Sales Company can currently do.
Compared with that.
But just like Li Yuhang, he has no right to object to this matter. Now he can only strengthen his channels and expand his market share among citizens and private enterprises before the city completes the integration.
"Director Chen, I also believe that this reform will be beneficial to both state-owned enterprises and our private enterprises. I can understand this myself, and I have already made plans to change careers. I am not very experienced in the retail market at the moment.
Fancy it."
Li Yuhang has past life memories, so he knows very well that Zhang Jianmin's focus is not retail at all. At present, he is just accumulating capital. Commercial real estate and hotels are the focus of the richest man in Guocheng.
Chen Kai was noncommittal about Zhang Jianmin's preparation for transformation. Whether the transformation can be successful depends on subsequent developments. At this time, he did not want to be too arbitrary to avoid slapping himself in the face in the future.
