Although several major retail companies in the province have successively consolidated and grown, Li Yuhang has no plans to continue to expand this year. One of the important reasons is funding issues.
The construction of Chengze Primary School, Xinhang Middle School, Jianan Hospital, Jianan Supermarket Shopping Center, etc. all costs money. In addition, IKEA convenience stores and Lingjiang Electric Appliances also need to expand. Li Yuhang must leave enough funds for these projects.
The day after attending the Guocheng Retail Company meeting, Li Yuhang specially held a high-level meeting of Jianan Supermarket.
The senior executives present were a little shocked when they heard that the company had no expansion plans this year. They were used to the company constantly adding stores to expand the market.
And now Li Yuhang suddenly announced that this year the company will focus on stability, increase internal construction, and stop the pace of expansion. They wonder if there is pressure on Li Yuhang from above, forcing Li Yuhang to choose to stop the pace of expansion.
Xiao Yunkai, the former general manager of the market development department of the group and now the vice president of the group, said: "Mr. Li, are you going too far? Several other major retail companies in the province are busy integrating now, and it is time for us to enter the markets in various places.
If we give them a few months to complete their integration and transformation, it will be much more troublesome for us to enter these markets. This is clearly targeting our company."
The other senior executives present had unhappy expressions on their faces when they heard Xiao Yunkai's words. In their opinion, if the other companies couldn't compete with Jianan Supermarket, they would rely on them to act like gangsters.
Marketing Director Jiang Jinkun said: "Mr. Li, since things can't be done here, we don't need to stop the pace of expansion. Recently, our marketing department has focused on the East China market, which is relatively more open and open.
There has been no large-scale merger and integration, and there are no special restrictions.
We can go all out to develop the East China market. The market there is much larger than here. Although the competition is not small, we are confident that Jianan Supermarket will become one of the leaders in the East China retail market."
Speaking of the East China market, the senior executives present were very excited and expressed their hope to expand the development of the East China market and accelerate the development of Jianan Supermarket.
At present, the largest domestic retail market is in East China. We are not afraid of the rapid development of Yangcheng and Pengcheng, but the South China market cannot compare with the East China market. Of course, this does not include Xiangjiang and Lisboa.
Since the establishment of several major retail companies in the province, Li Yuhang has been determined to focus on developing the East China market. However, this is a development plan for next year. This year he plans to rest and recuperate.
Even if he could continue to borrow money from banks, Li Yuhang did not do so. He did not want to rely on banks to expand and develop. Once he was addicted to this, there would be a crisis in the future and all his efforts might be in vain due to a break in the capital chain.
Another reason is that this year's large-scale expansion, the talent on hand cannot keep up with the pace of expansion. Whether it is Jianan Supermarket, the newly established IKEA convenience store or even the Lingjiang Electrical Appliances Chain Company, many managements are barely used. Li Yuhang needs to stabilize
, lay a solid foundation for several major companies and prepare for expansion next year.
Now Li Yuhang is increasingly looking forward to 1996, when the allocation system for technical secondary school students and even college students will be officially abolished, and he will be able to recruit a large number of outstanding talents.
Li Yuhang knocked on the table, and after everyone calmed down, he said with a smile: "I know how everyone thinks about the company and hopes that the company will develop rapidly.
My decision this time is not specifically aimed at us, and you should not cause any misunderstandings because of it."
It sounds like it’s not because of the above reasons, but these people don’t understand even more. You must know that there are currently 34 supermarkets in operation at Jianan Supermarket, with a daily turnover of about 4.1 million yuan and a daily profit of 1.7 million yuan. Their Jianan Supermarket is completely
Have the strength to expand rapidly.
Li Yuhang did not wait for the senior management to raise questions and continued: "The reason why I made this decision is that firstly, IKEA convenience stores and Lingjiang Electrical Appliances Chain Company need our support; secondly, schools, hospitals and even Jianan Supermarket and Shopping Center need funds; thirdly,
It's because our company has insufficient talent reserves and a huge gap in management, which we need to solve in the next few months."
Listening to Li Yuhang's words, these senior executives no longer clamored to speed up expansion. As the helmsman of Li Yuhang's current main aircraft carrier, they know very well that Jianan Supermarket sometimes provides blood transfusions to other companies.
Although IKEA convenience stores, Lingjiang Electrical Appliances, even Xinghang Education Company, Jianan Medical Company, etc. are not directly related to Jianan Supermarket, these are Li Yuhang's companies, and everyone has the same boss. Now these require funds, and Li Yuhang wants to
There was nothing they could do if they dispatched the people from Jianan Supermarket.
They know that not only Jianan Supermarket is giving blood to several other companies, but Jianan Agricultural Products Group is also giving blood to Jinfeng Liquor, Yudan Clothing Company, Jianan Transportation Company, Guocheng Silk Group, etc.
There is nothing that can be done about this. Li Yuhang has allowed various companies to expand at a high speed, and many new companies have been established this year. They can only be transferred from these two companies that make more money.
As for the company's management talents, the top executives also have headaches. Meng Yongxin, director of the human resources department, is under the greatest pressure.
Jianan Supermarket is expanding so fast. The first supermarket opened on New Year's Day this year. In less than ten months, there are as many as 34 branches. In addition, a large number of senior executives have been transferred to IKEA convenience stores and Lingjiang Electrical Appliances Chain Company. In addition, financial
, administrative management was also transferred to Guocheng Silk Company and Yudan Clothing and other companies.
As a result, the reserve talents trained by the company cannot keep up with Li Yuhang's development speed, especially Lingjiang Electrical Appliance Chain Company and IKEA Convenience Store. These two companies are applying to Li Yuhang, hoping to transfer some regional general managers of Jianan Supermarket to the city.
Worked for two major companies to help them expand their markets.
Fortunately, Li Yuhang let them solve it themselves, otherwise Meng Yongxin would really have to discuss it with Zheng Hongmao and Gan Shaohui. One of these two companies is headquartered in Yuzhou, and the other is headquartered in Shanghai. The environment for recruiting talents is much better than his. The company
The structure has already been set up, but to come to Jianan Supermarket to ask for people is really too much.
Hearing Li Yuhang mention the issue of reserve talents, Meng Yongxin immediately spoke up: "Mr. Li, currently many university and technical secondary school graduates are about to come out for internships. Our Human Resources Department is preparing to join forces with the Human Resources Departments of sister companies to take joint actions.
Guocheng, Rongcheng, and Yuzhou held a joint special job fair to recruit a group of interns.
After more than half a year of internship, I believe that with the strength and development prospects of our major companies, we will be able to retain a group of capable and talented students, and also increase the foundation of our major companies."
Li Yuhang strongly agrees with Meng Yongxin's proposal. Although distribution is still the main focus now, except for a few special schools and majors, it has reached the stage of excessive dual selection, which also gives opportunities to private enterprises and foreign joint ventures.
It is inevitable for fresh graduates to go out for internships every year. Although a large number of them choose to intern in governments and state-owned enterprises and institutions, there are still some who are unwilling to be left alone and choose to intern in foreign-funded enterprises or large private enterprises.
Jianan Supermarket is currently a very famous company in Sichuan and Sichuan Province. With Jianan Supermarket taking the lead in preventing special recruitment, it will definitely attract a group of elites with ideas to join.
