Chapter 1092 The Main Threat Is Not This

Whether it is a perverse or a correct reason, although what you Yang Dongxu said is still a bit exaggerated to Bai Xi. But she is obviously not an ordinary person, and she has some understanding of the management and operation models of some domestic or foreign companies.

Therefore, although what Yang Dongxu said sounds very exaggerated, there is indeed room for operation. Of course, you can't just set up a shell company if you really want to enter the cosmetics industry.

Apart from other things, you must have your own production base, and if you have the conditions, you must also set up an independent research room. Although now OEM, or production is handed over to other factories for production, you just need to make your own brand establishment and maintenance.

But after all, she is used to doing real industries, and such operations seem too empty to Bai Xi. I always feel that my heart is empty and uneasy.

Of course, this is all later. Although you Yang Dongxu suggested that she choose the cosmetics industry, it is not impossible to choose other goals set before. In terms of her own career, she will ask Yang Dongxu for advice, but she will make her own decision whether to do it.

"What happened to you last time you were kidnapped?" Bai Xi, who had her own ideas, did not continue to discuss this matter with Yang Dongxu, but asked about another matter she was concerned about.

In fact, Yang Dongxu had told her about this matter on the phone before, but she was always a little worried without asking clearly in person. And although this matter has been over for some time, the aftermath has subsided.

"I don't have any specific clues for the time being, but there must be a black hand behind it. As for whether this black hand is the people who invested in chips before, or other people I have offended over the years, I can't confirm it for the time being." Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows.

In fact, he has been paying attention to this matter. For this matter, Du Fei's original trip to the Middle East was delayed. He was specifically responsible for investigating this matter, and even Wu Aibing participated in it. Yang Dongxu also quietly used all the relationships he could use.

But the other party seemed to disappear suddenly, and the clues were directly cut off in the kidnapping case. No matter how hard he checked, he couldn't find any clues.

This undoubtedly became a thorn in his heart. After all, there are only thieves who do thieves for a thousand days, but there is no one who guards against thieves for a thousand days. If he doesn't find out the mastermind behind the scenes, he won't be able to sleep peacefully.

"Recently, the higher-ups have dealt with a few more people involved in the chip incident." Bai Xi said.

Yang Dongxu raised his lips and showed a mocking smile, "Why, are you here to beg for mercy?"

"Someone greeted me, but I didn't agree." Bai Xi didn't care about the mocking smile on Yang Dongxu's face, because she knew that smile was not for her, but for those who were involved in the chip before.

"It's right not to agree, even if there was no kidnapping case this time. Those who were involved in the chip incident, if they were sentenced according to the law, it would be a bargain for them." Yang Dongxu sneered.

"I know this. I said this to remind you that it's best not to make trouble recently. These people must be dealt with, but as one of the parties involved, you are also hated by many people." Bai Xi reminded.

"I know the importance of it." Yang Dongxu nodded.

Although I really want to clap my hands and pose like Huang Feihong, hook my fingers at these people, and let them all come together without fear. After a confrontation, he could still say lightly: "No one can fight."

But now the timing of the war is obviously very wrong. In this situation, any turbulence may be used by others and become a major event beyond control.

So at this time, even if he is angry, he is not afraid of those involved in the chip incident. But during this period, it is still the most correct choice to be a grandson in peace and stability.

In short, a smooth transition is an unshakable premise. Whoever jumps out to make trouble at this time will not have a good result. Another batch of people involved in the chip incident were dealt with.

On the surface, it seems to be related to his kidnapping, but in fact it is just an excuse. It is possible that the big guys above have found some discordant voices, so they use these people as a warning to others.

After all, the overall situation must be stable at this time.

The overall social situation needs to be stable, but the commercial economy is in full swing. For example, this year, in addition to the game industry that has been complained about, and the real estate industry that continues to be popular.

Other industries in China are also flourishing, and the retail industry is undoubtedly what Yang Dongxu cares about. Let’s not talk about the invasion of the domestic market by international giants Carrefour and Walmart.

In China alone, there has been more than one retail giant, Millennium, from the beginning. Gome, Hualian, China Resources Vanguard, Suning, RT-Mart. In short, even if there is no invasion by foreign retail giants. The domestic retail industry is also a chaotic battle among the princes.

Especially in the past two years, even if Millennium took the lead in laying out the whole country. But as other companies have stabilized their own bases and penetrated the surrounding markets, everyone has begun to stare at the meat in other people’s bowls.

Yang Dongxu, who took the lead in the attack, thought it was Gome. After all, they are now suppressing Suning, and there is no domestic rival in the electrical appliance industry. And in the past two years, they have taken advantage of their own stores all over the country and began to catch up with large comprehensive supermarkets.

Gome, which was on guard, did not attack, but Hualian, which originally did not care much, came out from the side. Everyone likes to call Hualian Supermarket "Magic City Hualian".

But in fact, Hualian in Modu is just the predecessor of Hualian Supermarket. Now it belongs to Jinan Hualian Company. Compared with the layout of chain stores in the prosperous CBD area and high-end residential areas, Millennium Supermarket occupies the most lucrative place in the retail industry.

Hualian Supermarket has taken a different approach. It did not go to the city center or high-end residential areas. The cost is too high. Moreover, the housing prices have soared in the past two years, which has made the capital chain of his branches tight.

His layout only goes straight to the station, especially the railway station and large bus stations. I don’t know since when you can always see a Hualian supermarket, it may be big or small. But in any case, the brand of Hualian Supermarket seems to have spread all over the country overnight.

Whether it is at the railway station or the bus station, everyone recognizes that the price of buying things is super high, especially some drinks. If you don’t buy it in advance, you will definitely be slaughtered.

Hualian Supermarket saw this opportunity and directly suppressed the prices that were originally driven up near the station. Buying here is not more expensive than buying in other places.

Such a move instantly attracted tourists entering the station to flock to Hualian Supermarket. Especially when Hualian opened a counter for local specialty products, it became even more popular.

After all, the products are not expensive. It feels quite face-saving to bring some local specialty products back home from other places.

So Yang Dongxu originally planned to call Lei Jun to Yanjing to keep an eye on the real-name system for mobile phone numbers. As a result, Hu Dashan and Zhang Tianming arrived first.

"200 stores in three months, and a plan to open 1,500 stores in a year, this plan is really hard." Looking at the detailed information about the expansion of Hualian Supermarket brought by Zhang Tianming. Yang Dongxu rubbed his chin and looked at the two people: "What do you think of this matter?"

Hu Dashan glanced at Zhang Tianming and motioned her to speak, and Zhang Tianming nodded gratefully. This action made Yang Dongxu pause for a moment, wondering what was going on between the two people.

In fact, there was nothing going on between the two people. At the beginning, when Hualian suddenly appeared, Hu Dashan was shocked, so he found Zhang Tianming and asked him to take the initiative to collect detailed information about Hualian's sudden expansion.

While discussing with Zhang Tianliang about taking the blame, Hu Dashan had no habit of passing it on. And he had already regarded the shares of Millennium Supermarket as his inheritance of family business.

So the better the Millennium Supermarket develops, the richer his family business will be. And Zhang Tianming is undoubtedly more suitable to be the CEO of Millennium Supermarket than him, and is a person who can help him earn more family business.

Therefore, compared with other leaders who pass the blame when encountering problems, he decided to take the initiative to take this pot. He still knows Yang Dongxu. He seems to be indifferent and ruthless, but he is very sentimental. The sudden appearance of Hualian is certainly his negligence and did not stop the other party from expanding.

But this matter is big, but it is also small. Yang Dongxu has never been afraid of competitors, so if he takes the initiative to take responsibility, he will be scolded at most, and his shares will not be moved. And if his shares are not moved, it is equivalent to no loss for him.

And Hu Dashan's initiative to take responsibility undoubtedly touched Zhang Tianming, so the two of them played a Lin Xianghe drama at that time.

Then Zhang Tianming analyzed the situation for him, which made Hu Dashan admire him even more and more firmly believe that Zhang Tianming is indeed more suitable for the position of CEO.

After getting Zhang Tianming's explanation, Hu Dashan can now show his face in front of Yang Dongxu and show his talents. Although this is Zhang Tianming's idea, as a major shareholder of Millennium Supermarket, Zhang Tianming obviously dare not have any objections.

But Hu Dashan's character is obviously very good, and the previous Lin Xianghe is not one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. So Zhang Tianming feels that meeting an old boss with such character is very sober.

"I think Hualian is not in great danger, and our main target is still Gome and Carrefour." Zhang Tianming said.

"Oh?" Yang Dongxu looked at Zhang Tianming with interest.

"It is true that Hualian played a good card by targeting the station this time, but although this card is good, it has limitations. Millennium is a large comprehensive supermarket. There are residents near the station, but they still cannot compare with the purchasing power of office workers in the CBD and residents in high-end communities.

The station buys most snacks, instant noodles and other commodities. The other party will add some fruits at most after they are ready. As for vegetables, meat and so on, it is okay to make special products. It is not a little difficult to get involved in household daily necessities." Zhang Tianming said.

Yang Dongxu couldn't help but nodded silently.

It must be said that letting Zhang Tianming be the general manager of Millennium Supermarket is indeed the right choice. When hearing that Hualian suddenly expanded and was about to surpass Millennium Supermarket.

Yang Dongxu was also shocked, because the brand of Hualian Supermarket can be said to be well-known. When RT-Mart and others could only wander around the city, Hualian Supermarket had opened in the small towns below.

However, after being surprised, he quickly calmed down again, because although Hualian's momentum of rising was strong, the initial confidentiality work was also done well. The first thing is that all the large stations in the country will open at the same time.

But knowing the existence of Hualian, he also roughly understands Hualian's business model. For example, in the previous life, although Hualian was very powerful, its model was limited as Zhang Tianming said.

At least in big cities, Yang Dongxu has heard of Suning Mall and Gome Mall, but Hualian seems to have always been an ordinary type of supermarket. The mall has not been established, and the large-scale supermarket is almost unknown. All the brand value is on the supermarket.

So he is a veteran and understands that it is normal that Hualian, which seems to be a big threat, cannot pose a threat to Millennium Supermarket, which has always been in large-scale supermarkets. But Zhang Tianming, as an authority, can actually see this directly. His personal talent has undoubtedly been raised to a higher level in Yang Dongxu's mind.

"How is Carrefour?" Yang Dongxu said.

Knowing Hualian's business model, he naturally knows that Gome seems to be the closest to Millennium now, but the threat is not great. Because in a few years, Lao Huang will go in.

So compared with Gome, Suguo, which is actually rising now, is even more threatening. As for Suning, it focuses on home appliances, although it will definitely get involved in large-scale supermarkets in the future. But its main focus is still on home appliances and it is not a real rival to Millennium Supermarket.

Therefore, the biggest threat to Millennium Supermarket is still Carrefour, and even Walmart has to stand back. Because Wal-Mart's model destined it to survive only in first-tier and second-tier cities, and it could not spread its tentacles across the country.

But Carrefour is different. It is a real hungry wolf with capital and fighting power. Although I know that the final victory will definitely belong to me.

But when Carrefour sued its own death and withdrew from the domestic market a few years later, they were skinny when they came in, and fat when they left.

And Yang Dongxu obviously didn't want to see the other party make so much money, seemingly embarrassed but actually making a lot of money and leaving.

"After being blocked by us last time when they went south, they have been consolidating the market in the north and second-tier cities during this period. But I got the latest news that the other party is preparing to open ten stores at a time in Shenzhen, Guangdong and other places." Zhang Tianming's face was solemn: "The store of each store is planned to be opposite our supermarket."

"This is a loss that is not convinced, and still wants to fight again." Yang Dongxu said with a sneer.

"We are not afraid of anyone in Qianxi." Zhang Tianming said confidently, and then changed the subject: "We are afraid that the other party will take advantage of the fact that we are a foreign company."

"That's a problem." Yang Dongxu nodded: "What do you think of this matter?"

"The big policy is nothing. Even if the country wants to develop the economy rapidly, it can't be too biased towards foreign capital. What we are afraid of is that when we compete, the other party will accuse us of disrupting the market, and then gather a group of foreign companies to protest."
