Chapter 1168: 0 Goods and 8 Giants

In October, there are many things in the distance.

From the beginning of the month, the international version of Weibo was launched first, the mobile version of Wankawa was launched, Yuanfang Logistics Park opened, and the investigation team settled in Wanka...

Then came Weibo's B round of financing, the option incentive plan was released, and the professional level was unified.

Shancheng is still at war with Yonghui Supermarket, East China is merging with China Resources, and Yuanfang Airlines is also fixing its address...

And the second round of the Faraway City project has officially started!

Li Dong allocated tens of billions of dollars and planned to acquire another 10 pieces of land. In addition to the previous 10 buildings, in about 10 years, 20 distant cities will land on the land of China at the same time!

So far, Yuanfang Group has entered the second round of expansion mode.

In the past few years, Yuanfang was laying the foundation. From the second half of 2008, Yuanfang began to deepen and expand.

...

And just when everyone set their sights on the Internet industry in the distance.

Domestic retail companies seem to be well-prepared, or sense the opportunity, and take advantage of the time when they are not paying attention.

Since the beginning of October, major retail groups have been active.

In terms of supermarkets, on October 1, Dashang acquired Eurasia Supermarket, a local retail giant in Northeast China, managed Xinglong Family, and acquired several local retail giants such as Zhongxing Supermarket and Central Red Supermarket.

So far, Dashang has completed the entire retail layout in Northeast China.

The so-called "Retail Siberian Tiger" has begun to recuperate, and the retail turmoil in the Northeast has calmed down.

In the three northeastern provinces, retailing is respected by big merchants.

In North China, Wumart has completed the integration of Xinhua Supermarket, because Dashang focused on the territory of the three eastern provinces and gave up competing with Wumart for the controlling stake in Beijing’s local retail giant Supermarket.

Based on this, after twists and turns, Wumart finally won the controlling stake in Supermarket.

The three local retail giants in Beijing, Wumart, Supermarket, and Jingkelong, are now completely incorporated by Supermarket.

It is even reported that Wumart has taken up the idea of ​​Jingkelong, intending to integrate all local retail forces in the capital to counter the invasion of other foreign capital.

The foreign capital in Wumart’s mouth,

The most important thing is Yuanfang Supermarket.

After Yuanfang Supermarket acquired Carrefour, Carrefour originally occupied a large market share in Beijing and Tianjin. With the combination of the two, even Wumart, a local retail giant, feels suffocated.

In addition to the Beijing-Tianjin region, North China also includes Hebei and Shanxi provinces. However, the local retail system in these two places is weak. Only Shanxi Province’s Mei Tehao supermarket has entered the top 100 retail stores, and it has a slight reputation in North China.

Others are more foreign capital, Sun Art established by Auchan and RT-Mart, Lianhua, Lianhua, Yichu Lotus, China Resources Vanguard under Bailian...

Including the integration of Yuanfang and Carrefour, it has a large-scale layout in North China.

Not used in Northeast China, North China Department Store Retail has formed a situation in which the four major foreign capitals of Yuanfang, China Resources, Sun Art, and Bailian, as well as the three local giants Wumart, Jingkelong, and Meitehao, are jointly in charge.

East China is much clearer than other places.

The whole of East China can be regarded as two big parts, with the Shanghai stock market as the dividing line, Jiangbei, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, southern Jiangsu, Shandong, and Jiangxi provinces, mainly Yuanfang and China Resources.

In the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Southern Fujian, Bailian and the Agricultural Industry and Commerce Consortium have an advantage.

Other local brands such as Yintai and Yonghui are now shrinking their scope and consolidating their inherent markets, so they no longer dare to attack.

Now China Resources and Yuanfang have joined forces, and Bealead and Nongshang have joined forces.

Originally, Bailian and Nongshang only joined forces, and the two sides were not integrated. However, on October 7, the Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission reported that Bright Group was about to reorganize.

Agriculture, Industry and Commerce is likely to be stripped off and completely merged into Bailian.

The Shanghai stock market hopes to increase the strength of Bailian and expand its influence, so as to resist the invasion of Yuanfang and China Resources.

Local protectionism has existed since ancient times.

Even in an international metropolis like the Shanghai Stock Exchange, although there are no restrictions on foreign companies, it is what they want to see to increase the competitiveness of local companies.

Once Bailian and Nongshang are defeated by Yuanfang and China Resources, the local retail in Shanghai will be completely controlled by foreign departments.

In South China, after Wal-Mart acquired Trust-Mart, it ranked first, China Resources Vanguard followed closely, and RT-Mart ranked third. Local companies such as Xinyijia and Renrenle couldn't even enter the top three.

As a coastal region, South China is also the region with the strongest foreign capital strength.

Even if China Resources has made a fortune from this, it will not be able to withstand the offensive of Wal-Mart.

In the three provinces of Central China, the Wushanglian is the respect of the local department. Under the menacing approach of Yuanfang and China Resources, Zhongbai finally realized that he had made a big mistake and led the wolf into the house.

There is not a wolf in the distance, but a group of hungry wolves, which may completely ruin the future of Zhongbai.

After several hesitation, and the promotion of Hubei Province, under the strong external threat, the three major retail giants in Hubei Province, Zhongbai, Zhongshang, and Ewushang, finally chose to sit down for negotiations and carry out reorganization.

On October 10, the three parties announced that they would soon form a Wushang Federation group.

In the five major regions of East China, North China, Central China, South China and Northeast China, the retail pattern has become relatively clear.

In the Southwest and Northwest, apart from the Shancheng Merchant Association lingering on its last legs, there are no other figures in the local department.

If the major giants were not eager to unite their forces in the eastern region and start preparing for war, the local small and medium-sized enterprises in the western region would have been divided up long ago.

So far, with the continuous changes of major department store chain giants, they have either expanded or contracted.

Xinyijia, which had been struggling before, completely withdrew from the ranks of hegemony, and the new cooperation business was swallowed up by several giants in the local market, and it was in danger.

The stable situation in the first half of the year changed again, forming a situation where eight retail giants, namely Yuanfang, China Resources, Bailian, Wal-Mart, Sun Art, Dashang, Wumart and Wushanglian, competed for hegemony.

Foreign-funded enterprises, Carrefour has completely dissipated, Tesco, Lotte and several foreign-funded companies, seeing the land of China, the giants are rising together, several foreign-funded retail companies that have been a step behind, seeing this situation, apart from sighing that they are powerless, they no longer have the heart to win .

Except for Wal-Mart and Sun Art, which are among the eight giants, other foreign capitals have withdrawn from the competition for hegemony.

The eight giants occupy most of the Chinese market.

The next level is mainly based on local departments such as Jingkelong, Metehao, Yintai, Xinyijia, Renrenle, Yonghui, Shancheng Business Association, and foreign capital such as Tesco and Metro.

The retail situation of Huaxia Department Store is clearly visible.

In addition to the supermarket industry, another main business of the retail industry is the retail of home appliances.

Home appliance retailing is much clearer than supermarket retailing. Suning, Gome, Dazhong, Yongle, Five Star, Best Buy, Sanlian Trading Company, Hongtu Sanpower, Dixintong, and Shengxing Electric have divided up 80% of the national market.

Among them, Yongle and Sanlian Trading Company were annexed by Gome, Dazhong was annexed by Suning, Five Star was annexed by Best Buy, and Shengxing Electric was facing bankruptcy under the impact of the financial crisis.

Out of the top ten major home appliance retailers, five were eliminated in an instant, leaving only five giant companies competing for the top spot.

However, Best Buy has not made any moves for the time being. Although Dixintong is known as a giant, its strength is actually weak.

However, in case everyone forgets.

Three e-commerce websites, Yuanfang Mall, Tmall Mall, and JD.com, have gradually emerged and started to encroach on the field of physical home appliances.

The major supermarkets in the distance are also gradually increasing their self-operated home appliance business.

With the support of Wal-Mart, JD.com also started to take up the idea of ​​several traditional home appliance suppliers in Suning, and quietly began to invade their inherent market.

For a time, the storm was coming.

However, in the context of the financial crisis, everyone is restraining and quietly accumulating strength.

Once the strength is sufficient, China's retail industry will inevitably break out into a protracted battle to expand Japan.

...

October 13.

Li Dong held a meeting of supermarket executives.

Sun Tao and Wang Yue, the two vice presidents of the group, were specially present, and other senior executives included Chen Lang, Tan Haiying, Chen Heming, Zhang Mingduo, Qi Yunna and others.

meeting room.

When everyone arrived, Li Dong had already arrived ahead of schedule.

When Sun Tao and the others came, Li Dong was lying on the table studying a map.

When everyone arrived, Li Dong smiled and said: "Everyone, take a look, the current situation is gradually becoming clearer. Previously, everyone was in a mess, and now the situation is finally cleared up."

Everyone got up and looked over.

Li Dong saw that there were a lot of people, so he smiled and said: "Haiying, you are an Internet worker, and you can get some electronic maps later, we have to keep pace with the times."

Tan Haiying nodded quickly.

Chen Lang, on the other hand, looked at the map and said, "Mr. Li, is there going to be a war again?"

"Why are you talking so alarmist, what is war?"

Li Dong laughed, and said again: "Just to let everyone have an idea, there are still a few months before the end of this year, and set a goal for everyone, so as to save you from wandering around like headless chickens."

Chen Lang gave a dry laugh, and set a goal. The goal of Yuanfang Supermarket is unknown now.

This year, the expansion of South China, North China, and Central China provinces alone has caused Chen Lang to burn out.

On the other side of the mountain city, Yonghui is very resilient, and it has been a trouble for him not to win it for a long time.

Now Li Dong said that they are running around like headless chickens, isn't that a joke.

Speechless is speechless, and Chen Lang doesn't speak, let alone the others.

Li Dong ignored them, pointed at the map and said, "Now, in East China, the situation is the clearest, but it is also the most complicated.

Bailian and Nongshang combined to form a super-aggregate, and their strength skyrocketed.

We want to unify the East China region, and the difficulty is greatly increased.

The cooperation with China Resources will kill some second-tier department store chains at most.

For example, local companies such as Yintai and Jiajiayue are our main targets this time, as well as foreign-funded companies such as Metro and Tesco that are not strong in East China.

While we wiped out these enterprises, Bailian and the Agricultural Chamber of Commerce and Industry expanded to the south, attacking the mainland of southern Fujian, and attacking Yonghui internally and externally.

Yonghui can't last long, it will be destroyed before the end of the year!

These second-tier companies have been wiped out, and the East China region will be in a situation where the three countries are fighting for hegemony, which cannot be shaken for the time being. "

Everyone nodded slightly. Although these second-tier groups are not weak in strength.

But under the siege of the three top giants, there will be no way out.

The final result is either to be acquired, or to use local protectionism and stick to the local market.

But local protection is not unlimited.

If you are not strong enough, you will be eliminated sooner or later. In addition, everyone is developing now, but you stick to your homeland, and you will completely lose hope of becoming big.

Li Dong said and continued: "Don't worry about it for the time being in Huadong, China Resources and Bailian are strong players, and we can't do anything about them for a while.

but……"

Everyone immediately pricked up their ears, waiting for Li Dong to continue.

Li Dong laughed and said: "However, the so-called eight giants still have people who are just pretending to be numbers.

Wushanglian in Central China and Wumart in North China are still much weaker than the others.

Sun Art, Wal-Mart, and China Resources are fighting openly and secretly in South China. If we don't provoke them, they won't provoke us either.

The Dashang Group, based in the Northeast, may not be very powerful, but the Northeast is run by them in an airtight manner, and they can't help them for the time being.

Only Wumart is in the place of the Four Wars, and the battle for retail in North China can be described as extremely chaotic.

Therefore, after we finish solving the East China issue, our goal is to kill Wumart in North China. North China is our world, and at most we will give China Resources a share of the pie.

And the Wushang Federation is even more important! "

Li Dong's face turned serious, and Chen Lang continued, "The merger of the three Zhongbai companies and the formation of the Wushang Union Group has violated our big taboo.

We have been operating the Southwest market for a long time, and Hubei Province is just a transit point between Jiangbei and Southwest, and it is also our strategic depth.

Now they are blocking our troop path and cutting off our connection with the Southwest. This is asking for death.

I think Wumart is not in a hurry, North China is the place where the Four World Wars are fought, and it won't be finished in a short time.

On the other hand, the Wushang Federation wanted to defeat them as quickly as possible and not give them a chance to unite their forces.

Open up the main road with the Southwest to prepare for our large-scale march into the Southwest in the future. "

Everyone nodded, and Sun Tao pondered for a moment and said: "The establishment of the Wushang Federation is indeed unwise at present.

It’s okay if they don’t merge, we’ll make excuses, and with the cooperation with Zhongbai, we won’t be able to kill them all.

But now they are joining forces to drive us out of Hubei Province, interrupting our military path, and we can't do without a shot.

Once they are allowed to grow bigger, our connection with the Southwest will be completely severed. In the Southwest, we have a lot of investment in mountain cities and Sichuan and Sichuan.

If it is cut, I am afraid there will be no small trouble. "

Several people analyzed the pros and cons, and Chen Lang asked Li Dongdao: "Mr. Li, what do you mean, after defeating the second and third tier retail groups in East China, we will move to Hubei Province to open up connections with the Southwest?"

Li Dong nodded and said: "It's not just E Province, didn't I say it before?

It is necessary to defeat Wumart and completely connect the business in North China and East China.

Every time I go to the capital, I always feel that there is always a cutting point in another area, Jiangbei and Beijing and Tianjin.

It's not exactly Wumart, but Wumart is really strong in North China.

After defeating Wumart, other companies are nothing to worry about, which is enough for us to link the industry together and completely occupy the eastern market. "
