The news of Yunhai Group's acquisition of Yong'an Group was like a stone dropped on a calm lake, instantly shaking up the somewhat calm waters of the Xiangjiang business community.
The most intuitive way is that the share price of Yongan Group began to soar, and various capitals in Xiangjiang also entered the market to acquire shares of Yongan Group at this time.
No matter who will win this battle, what is certain is that at this time, the stock of Yongan Group will definitely be the main battlefield for both sides to compete.
When ordinary investors cashed in Yongan Group's stock price and entered the market, Yongan Group's stock price had already risen by 30%.
Therefore, it is conceivable that it is difficult for investors to make profits in the stock market.
I thought I was a farmer, but in the end I was just a leek!
What followed was actually a discussion within the Xiangjiang business community.
Because according to the news released by Yongan Group, this time Yunhai Group not only wants to acquire Yongan Group, but also wants to dominate the retail industry in Xiangjiang.
This news is much more explosive than the acquisition of Yongan Group by Yunhai Group.
So many consortiums began to study the retail industry in Xiangjiang. If they didn't study it, they wouldn't know it. When they began to conduct in-depth research, they discovered that the retail industry had actually grown into an important industry in Xiangjiang.
But it was also under such circumstances that Yunhai Group was exposed to the sun.
As a giant in the retail industry in Xiangjiang, Yunhai Group has actually grown to this point?
"This investigation really revealed that Yunhai Group is too scary!" Sheng Songsheng preached to Li Jiacheng and Zhou Qianhe at the Changshi headquarters.
"Nowadays, the retail industry in Xiangjiang can basically be divided into three types: chain convenience stores, supermarkets, and department stores. Single-family supermarkets are not included. The largest chain convenience store in Xiangjiang today is Yunhai Convenience Store. You know
How many branches do they have in Xiangjiang?”
Sheng Songsheng couldn't help but ask Li Jiacheng and Zhou Qianhe.
Li Jiacheng didn't speak. Zhou Qianhe thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, I just discovered that no matter where I go, I can see the Yunhai convenience store. As for how many Yunhai convenience stores there are in Xiangjiang, I really don't know!"
Yunhai Group is not a listed company and does not need to disclose its financial reports to shareholders. If outsiders want to know, they can only conduct deliberate investigations.
"Including Watsons, Wanning Pharmacy, and Yunhai Convenience Store, there are more than 600 branches in Hong Kong. According to Lilan's estimation in the retail industry, plus profits such as listing fees, it can bring 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars to Yunhai Group every year.
If you add in the revenue of supermarkets, department stores, and just in the retail industry, Yunhai Group will be able to make at least HK$400 million in profit every year!"
Sheng Songsheng sighed, "This has exceeded HSBC's normal operating income last year!"
Li Jiacheng sat on the sofa and said calmly, "You have overlooked a lot of things. Now Yunhai Group is not just a retail group. At the same time, they previously acquired Guangsheng Bank and got involved in the cosmetics industry. The Watsons they acquired allowed them to
It got involved in the beverage industry and acquired doll noodles to get involved in the food industry.
In addition, Yunhai Group owns the largest warehousing industry and logistics industry in Xiangjiang. Nowadays, Yunhai Group basically has a monopoly position in these two industries.
If calculated this way, in Hong Kong alone, Yunhai Group’s annual revenue will exceed HK$700 million!”
Zhou Qianhe and Sheng Songsheng sat there for a long time not knowing what to say. Right under their noses, there was such a huge financial group in Xiangjiang.
There is another thing that none of the three people present mentioned, and that is Yunhai Group's assets outside Xiangjiang. Although Changshi's base is in Xiangjiang, the three people present will also be involved in business in Japan, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, etc.
Traveling all over the place, this also allowed them to see the scale of the local Yunhai convenience store.
"If Yunhai Group really has a deep relationship with Chu Huan as the outside world has guessed, then how many other companies does Chu Huan hide?"
Zhou Qianhe thought of the news currently circulating in the market, that is, Yunhai Group was actually founded by Chu Huan, and Zhu Xiaozhao, the chairman of Yunhai Group, was a puppet set up by Chu Huan!
Li Jiacheng waved his hands and said, "That's not what we need to worry about. Now Chu Huan is no longer something we can catch up with. We just need to develop our own industry!"
When he said this, Li Jiacheng seemed very relaxed. He had already given up the unrealistic idea of chasing Jiaku.
"This time Ah Huan's routine is a bit hard to understand!"
At the Sun Hung Kai headquarters, Guo Desheng was preaching to Guo Bingxiang at this time, "It seems that the spread of this news will only make it more difficult for Yunhai Group to acquire Yongan Group, and it will not be of any benefit to Ah Huan?"
Now Guo Desheng simply can't understand why things have developed to this stage. Guo Desheng didn't know about Yunhai Group's acquisition of Yong'an Group before, but he understood that if he was doing this, he would definitely not let it happen.
Things have come to this point.
Guo Bingxiang analyzed, "I think Yunhai Group doesn't want this matter to be leaked. Now that this matter has been reported, the most likely decision is from the Guo Quan family's decision, because only in this way can Yunhai Group's acquisition of Yong'an Group be increased."
difficulty, and only in this way can it be more difficult for Yunhai Group to acquire shares of Yongan Group!"
Guo Desheng said, "I don't mean Yunhai Group's acquisition of Yong'an Group. Regardless of whether this matter is exposed or not, it is not easy to acquire Yong'an Group smoothly.
What I really don’t understand is how this matter can be related to Yunhai Group’s desire to dominate the retail industry in Xiangjiang. Even if Yunhai Group has this idea, now is definitely not a good time to do it.
It will only unite the retailers in Xiangjiang, and even the suppliers will target Yunhai Group. The Chu Huan I know will never do such a stupid thing!"
Speaking of this, Guo Desheng looked at Guo Bingxiang and asked, "Did your wife tell you anything?"
Guo Bingxiang smiled bitterly and said, "Daddy, you know the two of us. We never talk about the affairs of our subsidiaries at home!"
After the explanation, Guo Bingxiang realized what Guo Desheng meant and couldn't help but ask, "Daddy, do you mean Aying did this?"
Guo Desheng did not hide his thoughts, nodded and said, "Do you think A Huan would do such a stupid thing? Zhu Xiaozhao is now raising a baby at home, and all the company's affairs are left to A Ying to take care of."
Guo Bingxiang was a little dazed. Although he knew that this possibility was very high, he still spoke for his wife and said, "Probably not. Aying has trained quite well in Yunhai Group over the years. She should also make such low-level mistakes."
You won’t commit a crime, right?”
"It's hard to say!" Guo Desheng shook his head and said, "Although Aying has done well in Yunhai Group in recent years, before that, it was Zhu Xiaozhao's affairs in Yunhai Group. Now Zhu Xiaozhao is raising a baby at home, and the development of Yunhai Group in recent years has changed.
Such smoothness will inevitably lead to people becoming arrogant and complacent!"
Guo Bingxiang shook his head and said, "I still feel that it is impossible for Ah Ying to lead this matter. If Yunhai Group really wants to dominate the retail industry in Hong Kong, Ah Huan will definitely intervene in such a big matter!"
Guo Desheng began to doubt his previous thoughts and said to himself, "Is there something we don't know about this matter?"
"It should be like this!" Guo Bingxiang didn't think his wife would make such a serious mistake.
"Let's take a look. I also want to know whether Yunhai Group will dominate the retail industry in Hong Kong or whether Yunhai Group will fail in this battle!"
Guo Desheng felt like he was getting old. In the past, when such wars broke out in the business world, even if he couldn't see through the whole content, he could still get a glimpse of it. But this time, he really didn't know what Chu Huan was doing.
.
Thinking of this, Guo Desheng said to Guo Bingxiang, "If Yunhai Group can win a big victory in this matter, I want your wife to return to work in the company!"
Guo Bingxiang was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed. Although he was the most respected among the three Guo brothers because of Chu Huan, in fact, the other two brothers were also very capable and had selfish motives. Sun Hung Kai Properties
There is only one, and he still hopes that he can get more inheritance from his father in the future!
And now Guo Desheng has let Li Tianying come to work in the company. This is actually an attitude.
but
Thinking of his wife's situation, Guo Bingxiang said to Guo Desheng in embarrassment, "Daddy, I don't think Aying is necessarily willing to come to the company to work!"
Ah Ying now owns a stake in Yunhai Group, and her annual labor plus dividends will amount to 30 to 40 million Hong Kong dollars, which our company cannot provide!"
Guo Desheng was dumbfounded, thinking that he was giving the other party a gift by letting Li Tianying come back to work, but he never thought about whether the other party wanted his gift.
"Moreover, if Aying leaves Yunhai Group, she will return her shares to the company. This"
When he finished speaking, Guo Bingxiang just laughed.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for several projects he collaborated with Chu Huan on, Guo Bingxiang's annual income would not be as much as his wife's.
To put it bluntly, Yunhai Group is not listed now. If Yunhai Group were listed, its market value would be several times that of Sun Hung Kai Properties.
Now Li Tianying is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people in Yunhai Group!
You definitely don’t have this status when you come to Sun Hung Kai!
After Guo Desheng thought about all this, he glared at Guo Bingxiang, "Look at Aying, a girl, who can achieve such great success, and look at you?"
Being scolded by Guo Desheng inexplicably, Guo Bingxiang was speechless for a while. It seemed that the person who looked down on Li Tianying before was his father, and the person who just suspected Li Tianying was also his father.
As a result, it is still my father who says that I am not as good as Ah Ying!
The attitudes of Li Jiacheng, Guo Desheng and others represent the thoughts of the people in the Xiangjiang business community, and these people among them are not as relaxed as they are now.
In fact, Jardine has already discovered the dividends of Xiangjiang's retail industry, but because of the existence of Yunhai Group, Jardine has always had a tangled mentality about entering the retail industry in Xiangjiang.
First of all, they definitely don’t want to give up the retail industry, which is why they will develop Wellcome Supermarket and prepare to introduce 7-11.
Secondly, they are worried that a hasty and large-scale entry into this industry will make them a target of Yunhai Group. Currently, Yihe does not have the confidence to compete with Yunhai Group in the retail industry.
Finally, the strong rise of Xiangjiang's real estate industry and financial industry in recent years has also allowed them to put more energy into these two industries.
But no matter what, Yihe is paying close attention to this matter now.
"What do you think of Guo Linshan's proposal?"
Newbijian called Karmanin. Karmanin was in charge of Wellcome Supermarket, a subsidiary of Jardine Matheson. It was also Karmanin who strongly recommended the introduction of 7-11 at the high-level meeting of Jardine Matheson!
Guo Linshan met with Niubijian before and told Niubijian what she had discovered, hoping to join forces with Yihe to deal with Chu Huan at this time!
"I agree with Guo Linshan's suggestion. After the rapid development in the past few years, Yunhai Group has obviously become a little arrogant. It thinks that its retail industry in Xiangjiang has commanded the world, but it naively wants to dominate the retail industry in Xiangjiang.
With so many retailers and Japanese department store groups, it is simply impossible!”
Having said this, Karmanin calmed down his mood with some excitement, and then continued: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as we can defeat the Yunhai Group in this battle, then we can take advantage of the situation and defeat the 7
-11 is introduced into Hong Kong."
Niubijian said expressionlessly, "Is the matter really that simple? Now we can basically determine the relationship between Yunhai Group and Chu Huan. Yunhai Group may be hot-headed, and Chu Huan, do you think he
Is it possible to be hot-headed?”
After a pause, Niubijian continued, "In addition, it is obvious that Guo Linshan wanted to borrow our help to counter Chu Huan's acquisition. By then he would have taken all the benefits, but we would have to face Chu Huan.
The anger, do you think it’s worth it?”
After taking another deep breath, Niubijian continued, "Even if we introduce 7-11, will our company have so much funds to open branches? Don't forget that Bao Yugang has always been eyeing Wharf.
, what should we do if Bao Yugang takes advantage of this moment to attack Wharf?"
A series of questions made Karmanin a little confused as to how to answer Niubijian!
However, to be able to sit at the top of Jardine Matheson and now be solely responsible for the management of Wellcome Supermarket, Karmanin is obviously a capable person.
After a brief consideration, he gave his answer.
"Is it possible that Chu Huan is hot-headed? I don't think this is something we need to consider. The current situation has actually been confirmed. Yunhai Group's acquisition of Yong'an Group is actually to unify the retail industry in Xiangjiang. This is something we cannot agree to. At the same time, it is also
Something that Xiangjiang and other retail companies cannot agree to.
I have analyzed this matter, and the first one to unite must be Xiangjiang Department Store. After all, the main battlefield this time is department stores.
But if only department stores unite, it will not be easy to defeat Yunhai Group. But if we join the supermarket field, then we can form a two-line attack on Yunhai Group.
, then when the time comes, Yunhai Group will definitely be in a situation that is difficult to cope with, which will also greatly enhance our chances of winning.
At the same time, we can also get in touch with more suppliers during this siege, which brings us an opportunity to introduce 7-11.
As for the funding issue, I actually thought about it. It is true that introducing this brand will cost us a lot of cash, but we do not need to learn from Yunhai Group and use their direct sales method to do this business.
We can choose how to join.
Now, due to the operation of Yunhai chain, people in Xiangjiang have already become accustomed to the business model of chain convenience stores. If we can relax the franchise restrictions of 7-11 in Xiangjiang, we can return a large part of it as quickly as possible.
The franchise fee, calculated this way, we don't need to pay much cash, and naturally it won't affect the group's matters in Wharf.
The last thing is about the distribution of benefits after the fact. Jardine's position in Xiangjiang is determined. As long as we enter the market, we will be the leader. Any benefits will naturally be ours. And as I just said, even if there are no benefits
, it is just one thing that allows 7-11 to successfully enter the retail market in Xiangjiang, then it is a success.
If 7-11 joins, then for our company, we will have another big money-making company, which will also be good for the company's future development!"
Newbijian was somewhat persuaded by Karmanen. As Yihe was the first to pay attention to the retail industry in Xiangjiang, he naturally knew the income of Yunhai Group in the retail industry in Xiangjiang.
If it is true as Karmanin said, maybe they can really benefit from this matter.
But these alone are not enough.
Niubijian continued to ask, "The idea is good, but there is still a key issue, that is, how should everyone fight back against the Yunhai Group? Guo Linshan just wants to keep their Guo family's operating rights in the Yong'an Group, and if Chu Huan is in sleep,
After the acquisition of Yongan Group failed, it quickly stopped, so what should we do?"
Fight back, fight back!
There must be a means to counterattack. Guo Linshan has a clear goal, which is to achieve her family's approval rating of 51 in Yongan Group. It is enough.
But what about other retail companies?
What means do they use to fight back?
Karmanen had obviously thought of this problem a long time ago and said with a confident smile, "Of course it's a price war. The teachers in Xiangjiang like discounts very much. Every time there is a discount day in Wellcome Supermarket, there will be a huge influx of people."
The teacher’s nurse triggered a rush of buying.
At that time, we only need to persuade other department stores, supermarkets, and convenience stores in Xiangjiang to join us in discounting and impact the Yunhai Group's market. By then, it will be impossible for Yunhai Group to deal with us!"
Niubijian was a little worried, "Would this be too exaggerated? Can one Yunhai Group really make the entire retail industry in Hong Kong discount with us?"
Although Newbigan, as the chief executive of Jardine Matheson, often pays attention to the retail industry in Xiangjiang, he is not fully committed to it, so his knowledge is still limited.
Karmanen said firmly, "It will definitely happen. As the largest retail group in Hong Kong, Yunhai Group has captured a market that is unimaginable. They have suffered a lot in the retail industry in Hong Kong over the years.
Moreover, this matter is actually not up to them. As long as we unite two or three department stores and start to reduce prices together, then they will have no choice but to follow us in reducing prices, otherwise they will also be attacked.
That means they have to do it even if they don’t do it!”
Newbijian then nodded and said, "If that's the case, you can give it a try, but wouldn't it require additional investment?"
Since it is a discount promotion, their income will definitely drop, or even lose money. This is a situation that Newbijian, who is in urgent need of cash, does not want to see.
Karmanen still confidently preached, "Taipan, the necessary investment is still needed. In fact, as long as this matter is done well, although we may not dominate the retail industry in Xiangjiang like Yunhai Group, as long as we prepare cash in advance
, when the time comes, there will definitely be someone who can't hold on. As long as they can't hold on, then we can choose to invest in their company.
By then, no matter how much market Yunhai Group loses in the end, we can use this incident to become one of the largest retail groups in Hong Kong!
At that time, we will set the market rules, are you still worried about not being able to recover your capital?"
Karmanen did not tell Nubbijian of his idea from the beginning, in order to let Nubbijian fully see the dividends of the retail industry.
Only in this way will Newbijian be free to support himself in doing so.
"In my opinion, we can definitely contact the bank and get a loan. When we stand at the top of Hong Kong's retail industry, you will find that the current efforts are worth it!"
In the end, Newbijian was persuaded by Karmanin and said, "Okay, I support your idea in principle. You first discuss a specific plan with Guo Linshan and others, and then I will convince the board of directors!"
"OK!"
Karl Malone showed a victorious smile.
Different positions have different views on this matter. Yihe could have used its position in Xiangjiang to transcend this matter, but in the end they ended up because they were also in the retail industry and they were greedy for the retail industry.
market, thus making their thinking fall into the limitations of being in this mountain.
But there are still some people who can look at this matter with a condescending attitude.
Apart from Chu Huan, HSBC is the only person in Xiangjiang who can achieve such an attitude.
"If nothing else happens, this will be a battle that changes the retail landscape in Hong Kong!"
Shen Bi sat in Roy Bentley's office and preached to Roy Bentley.
Roy Bentley asked "Who do you think will win between them in this battle?"
Shen Bi said with a smile on his face, "It doesn't matter who wins, the most important thing is how we gain from this matter!"
Roy Bentley asked "How do you say this?"
Shen Bi said, “In the war in the retail industry, no matter what methods they use, it boils down to one sentence: burning money. In this process, whoever can burn more money will be the final winner.
Judging from the current situation analysis, this war will be an unprecedented money-burning war.
Let’s not talk about the situation at Chu Huan, just talking about other retail companies in Xiangjiang. I am not sure who can survive after this war and who can gain more market share.
But what is certain is that if they want to survive, they will need massive cash support.
At this time, they need the support of our bank.
And we can also use this financial support to make more profits!"
Roy Bentley was a little stunned by Shen Bi's remarks. In fact, this can also be seen that his ability is indeed not as good as Shen Bi.
"How can you guarantee that the person we choose will win in the end? If the person we choose fails in the end, then the money we loaned will become a bad debt, and our losses will be huge!"
Shen Bi smiled confidently, "I don't think you need to worry about this, because as long as they have the support of our HSBC, they can't lose. I just said that this war is a money-burning war, and it depends on who has the most money in their hands." "Who in Hong Kong can have more cash than HSBC?"
When he said the last word, facing Roy Bentley's suspicious eyes, Shen Bi awkwardly added, "Jiaku doesn't count!"
At this time, Roy Bentley also understood what Shen Bi meant, but he was still a little worried: "As long as this war starts, it will definitely end up being a war that has lost its senses. In other words, we are not sure at all. How much money can be spent.
What if we and Chu Huan both lose in the end?"
The smile on Shen Bi's face was still contented, and he said, "No, because in this battle, Chu Huan and we are no match at all!"
Roy Bentley once again suspected that he had heard Shen Bi's words wrong. If Shen Bi's plan was followed, HSBC would find some supporters among the retail companies competing with Chu Huan, and their opponent would be Chu Huan.
Then they will naturally be natural rivals, right?
But this time Roy Bentley did not ask, but quietly waited for Shen Bi's answer.
Shen Bi did not disappoint Roy Bentley, saying, "Chu Huan's purpose is to monopolize the retail industry in Xiangjiang, and our purpose is to enter this industry and get a share of the cake in this industry, so our purposes are not in conflict." , if both of us think that this war has come to an end, I will go to Chu Huan personally. At that time, we will give up part of the investment share to Chu Huan, and Yunhai Group can naturally invest in these companies. The entire industry is decided between us and Yunhai Group!"
Roy Bentley was surprised by Shen Bi's idea, but at the same time he had to admit that this method was really awesome!
