Chapter 1616: Tossing Around in Vain
In the evening, I invited Sanyin and her husband Sun Zhi to dinner.
During the chat, he learned that Sanyin's husband was doing international trade in Zhoushan Port and was the director of a small company.
He helped some big companies with the procedures for cargo ships entering and leaving the port, and his salary was not bad. If it were now, it would be above the income of white-collar workers.
After leaving Yangjia Banquet, I met an acquaintance again. It has been a while since I last saw him. Every time, except for reporting work, I haven't sat together to chat for a long time.
It can be said that Hu Dashan has become a person now, but when talking about Hu Dashan in the circle, many people have heard of this name, but they don't know what this person looks like. After all, this person is too low-key.
It's like the King of SF Express in the future. Everyone in the world knows that there is such a person, but few people are familiar with this person.
Although I have never seen this person, the name of Millennium Supermarket is well-known. No matter Gome, Suning, Carrefour and Walmart from abroad are fighting fiercely now.
But the leader of domestic supermarkets is definitely Millennium Supermarket.
Millennium Supermarket not only has thousands of stores across the country, especially in some big cities, there is a large Millennium comprehensive supermarket in almost every Hurricane Plaza.
This number of stores is definitely not comparable to Gome, Suning, and the current Carrefour.
Especially these Carrefour and other supermarkets have various franchisees, and some small towns also allow any slightly larger store to franchise. From the overall scale, there is no way to compare with the large supermarkets of Millennium Supermarket.
The only one comparable to Millennium Supermarket, Walmart, is far from being a rival of Millennium Supermarket in terms of the number of stores.
In addition to the number of stores, the logistics, management, and services of Millennium Supermarket, especially the comprehensiveness of Millennium Supermarket's products are the best in the whole country, and no supermarket can compare.
So don't look at Lao Huang now while he is doing domestic business, investing in real estate and finance, as if he is a big boss among big bosses.
Suning is aggressively preparing to stir up the domestic home appliance field.
Although Millennium Supermarket is not specialized in home appliances, its capital in the home appliance industry is not inferior to these two companies, and it is even slightly higher.
As for Carrefour, Walmart, which is known as the world's largest supermarket market, is aggressive with international capital. It is only fierce on the surface. It really competes with strength, that is, it is under the banner of foreigners, making some people in China feel that it is very advanced.
In fact, it is still a little worse than Millennium Supermarket. Customers are at most for novelty, and they feel that foreign brands seem to be very face-saving.
But after a long time, you will find that compared with Millennium Supermarket, the so-called international big brand retail enterprises are actually just like that.
"Drink?" Yang Dongxu sent Sanyin and his wife away, turned around and looked at Hu Dashan and asked with a smile.
Just now, Sun Zhi said that he would not drink when driving, and he didn't have much alcohol tolerance and didn't drink normally, so the three of them just ate and chatted without drinking.
Seeing that Hu Dashan suddenly had a little alcohol bug, Millennium Supermarket was constantly laying out in the past, and when Dafeng Logistics started in Miaoshan.
The three of them met and drank a lot. Often the three of them would sit at a roadside stall, eating skewers and drinking beer, and it was so refreshing.
"Let's have a drink." Hu Dashan had just finished his meal, and it seemed that several suppliers had treated him.
Hu Dashan was the absolute host of such a treat. Although he could drink, he was not addicted to alcohol. In addition, if he didn't want to drink, the people accompanying him might drink too much after a meal, and he would definitely not be in big trouble.
So he agreed with Yang Dongxu's proposal.
The two of them didn't ask for any private rooms at Yang's Banquet, and walked out side by side. Not far away, they went into an alley, crossed a street, and sat down at a stall on the side of the road.
"Boss, grill some kidneys and lamb skewers, and a can of beer first." Hu Dashan called the boss.
They didn't order much, after all, the two of them just had a meal and couldn't eat much, but the owner of the barbecue stall was still very happy to order wine, after all, as long as the two men drank, the stall owner would make a lot of money.
"Have you seen Miao Shan recently? I haven't seen him for a long time."
"We had dinner together in Dalian last week, and he was talking about shipping. He has figured out domestic logistics parks, land and water transportation.
He has also been dabbling in air transportation these days, and has discussed several cooperation projects with Yu Shao, and also with other domestic airlines. Now only shipping is left." Hu Dashan said.
"I didn't expect this business to come back again after going around in circles. If I had known this, I wouldn't have sold Xiushui that year, and just gave it to him." Yang Dongxu smiled and shook his head with some emotion.
To be honest, he really didn't want to get involved in transportation before, otherwise he wouldn't have sold Xiushui.
But even as a reborn person, he didn't think about it, he just set up a logistics company because he was optimistic about the future of e-commerce.
As a result, the growth rate of this logistics company exceeded expectations. Sea, land, and air, the two Miao Shans behind it so quickly figured it out, and then they started to dabble in international shipping without stopping.
"It's different. Xiushui was mainly engaged in foreign trade with Northern Russia and Japan. In that environment, Xiushui had to be renovated or sold. You were so busy at the time and Dong Ge fell behind, so it would be useless to keep Xiushui."
Hu Dashan can be said to have climbed up from a small figure to the top position in the current domestic retail enterprise, so his words and deeds are really impeccable.
For example, his status is much higher than Dongzi now, but he still calls Dongzi Dongge when he is in front of others.
And it's not just a verbal call. Every time he comes to Yanjing, as long as he can spare some time, he will find Dongzi for a drink, and the two chat about everything, just like in the past.
Yang Dongxu can't do this. Seriously speaking, he and Dongzi are closer.
But now he wants to sit with Dongzi and drink, and both of them feel a little uncomfortable. On the contrary, Hu Dashan and Wu Aibing chat with Dongzi when they drink, and both sides can chat happily.
"Zhang Yue told me that Ma Fengyun is trying to separate the logistics from Dafeng, and for some supply channels, he also personally helps merchants in Taobao stores get discounts?" Yang Dongxu asked.
Compared to the previous life, Ma Fengyun's Taobao defeated eBay and became the leader of domestic online shopping soon, and he rode straight to the throne of the richest man.
Although Ali in this life is more smooth than in the previous life, Ma Fengyun is not as happy as in the previous life.
Although he has found that his actions to resist Yang Dongxu are becoming less and less powerful. But facing the mountain of Yang Dongxu, he is always unwilling to do nothing.
"In order to rise quickly, many merchants on Taobao opened stores and used Millennium's supply channels. The price of our products was originally the lowest price of bulk commodities.
These merchants also supply goods from us at a much lower price than the market, so most of the supplies for Taobao merchants' stores are from our logistics.
In recent years, although many small factories, such as small clothing stores, have opened Taobao stores while doing their own business, and they get their own goods online and offline.
But the majority of Taobao stores still get goods from here, or they will compare our quotations before choosing other upstream merchants.
As a result, both Taobao and the supplier are not used to Millennium Supermarket interfering, so they hit it off and prepared to cooperate with each other to bypass Millennium Supermarket as a middleman."
Speaking of this, Hu Dashan couldn't help laughing, "In fact, even if they don't make a move, Millennium Supermarket's share as a supplier of Taobao stores is also gradually increasing.
After all, now all the brands have opened their own flagship stores on Taobao, and those miscellaneous brands can basically not enter the Millennium Supermarket. Naturally, we can't use these high-quality products to supply Taobao stores.
Such small factories and miscellaneous brands either open their own Taobao stores or find Taobao stores to supply them.
Whether it is clothing or other small high-quality products, unless it is a large item such as home appliances, customers look at the brand. Other things are all for cheapness. Coupled with Taobao's quality management, such small factories and miscellaneous brands have a lot of room for survival.
For cooperation with Dafeng Logistics, it is even simpler. Now that the domestic logistics and transportation prospects are good, many capitals have spent a lot of money.
In just a few years, four or five large national express delivery companies have emerged. For the sake of its own stores, Taobao naturally has to introduce other companies to further reduce the express delivery costs. It is not specifically targeting Dafeng. "
Although Hu Dashan felt that Ma Fengyun was not a good person, he always looked at the mountain from the other side. As soon as he stood up, he kicked Yang Dongxu, who was supporting him, away, which was very unkind.
However, regarding the matters of Millennium Supermarket and Dafeng Logistics, he said what he had to say without exaggerating or trying to put Ma Fengyun in a bad light.
"Never mind, let them mess around, they can't make any money anyway." Yang Dongxu said indifferently.
"It's true that they can't make any money, and recently he has paid for his previous troubles." Hu Dashan couldn't help laughing.
It is said that this person will not die if he doesn't seek death. It would have been better if he had cooperated with Young Master Yang honestly before. Although Young Master Yang took the lion's share, he still made a lot of money.
But Ma Fengyun was unwilling to accept this and had to introduce various capitals to make trouble.
As a result, the capital introduced not only did not do anything to Yang Dongxu, but in the past two years, the capital that was introduced to help him take off turned out to be a broken wing.
The venture capital side is okay, after all, their expertise and basic base are there.
Ma Fengyun was speechless about Yahu Yang.
In the past few years, Yahu's business has been getting worse and worse.
Ma Fengyun introduced Yahu Yang to support himself, and he wanted to take advantage of the power of this international bigwig.
As a result, Yahu is not doing well now, and this bigwig not only did not help him, but also began to sell Alibaba's shares in the past two years, sucking blood from Alibaba.
It is impossible to return all the shares sold to Ma Fengyun, and naturally he knows that the higher the bid, the better.
Taobao is now the largest e-commerce company in China, and there are many people interested. So the competition for these shares is very lively.
This made Ma Fengyun curse more than once in his heart. He paid so many shares, but Yahu only shivered when he invested in it. Not only did he lose his support afterwards, but the withered Yahu also sucked blood from him. Who can you go to for justice?
