Section 138: 3 Major Appliance Retail Groups
Compared with mainland China, Taiwan's economy is more developed than that of mainland China. This is also the result of the Chiang father and son's introduction of Western ideas, which made Taiwan's economy take off more than ten years earlier than China's. However, the take-off will slow down at a certain stage. The island country It is an island country without a huge consumer market like the mainland. Taiwan’s home appliance retail industry, like the entire Taiwan economy, has entered a bottleneck stage. If it wants to develop, it can only go to the mainland to open up new markets. The home appliance retail industry in Taiwan as a whole The industry is basically divided by region. Taipei is dominated by the founding industrial giant Hon Hai. Taichung is occupied by the Japanese home appliance giant Yamada Denki. Speaking of the Yangzi Group, one has to talk about a celebrity in China during the Republic of China, Kong Xiangxi, the Minister of Finance of the Kuomintang, the Governor of the Central Bank, and the head of the Kong family of the four major families. Although Taiwan is no longer the world of the four major families, he is so thin A camel is bigger than a horse, and people's background is not something that emerging capitalists like Li Cong can achieve.
Taiwan's Hon Hai Group is an enterprise owned by Taiwan's richest man, Guo Taiming. Speaking of this richest man, I am afraid that the magazines are all small shrimps. Whoever is really rich will let the public know how much money he has. It is still very rare in Taiwan. Those who can crouching tiger, hidden dragon, Hong Kong gangsters usually come here to retire in their later years. In the early years, a large number of people such as Hong Kong Zonghua Inspector Xu Legong are a good example. Recently, Guo Taiming has a high rate of appearance in newspapers. , apart from his title of the richest man, the biggest selling point is that he married a wife who is half his junior, and also has some unusual contacts with many female stars in Hong Kong and Macau. There are a few female stars. Paradise Home Appliances under the name of Hon Hai Group is a giant in the home appliance industry in Taipei. Like the other two, Taiwan is very regional. The 30 chain hypermarkets of Paradise Home Appliances are all located in Taipei. region, almost none of them exist in other regions, and the corresponding other two companies have not crossed the border, but Li Cong’s Great Wall Home Appliances is different, because the predecessor is Samsung Electronics, which plays an important role in the world, so these groups have no right. Samsung Electronics made some radical containment actions, so Li Cong's Great Wall appliances are distributed all over the island.
But now it is different from before. Samsung Electronics has sold this piece of business as a whole. Without the pressure from upstream manufacturers, the three major groups have begun to make some tentative attacks on Great Wall Appliances, such as poaching employees and making targeted promotion, the most important thing is to ask the community to intervene.
The most serious of these is the Japanese Yamada Denki. The Japanese own the largest society in Asia, the Yamaguchi-gumi (on the surface), and the boss of Yamada Denki is one of the top executives of the Yamaguchi-gumi. The influence of the Yamaguchi-gumi in Taiwan cannot be said in a word. It is clear, so it is still very easy to use dozens of people to harass Great Wall Appliances, but the Taiwan company can handle the matter at present, otherwise Li Cong would have known it a long time ago.
As for the Yangzi Group, it is relatively moderate. Although the Kong family has gradually faded out of people's sight in recent years, the actual power has not been weakened in the slightest. The Kong family was not as eager to make a move as the Hon Hai Group and Yamada Denki. After some investigation, it was believed that Li Cong's future future is unlimited, so for the time being, he just made a promotion to attack Great Wall Appliances. From this, it can be seen that the Chinese are different from the Japanese, and they see things far away. As for Guo Taiming It is estimated that it is native to Taiwan, and it is normal not to see it.
According to Manager Cui, Li Cong felt that his Great Wall appliance was struggling to survive in Taiwan. Without the support of Samsung Electronics Group, it would have to close in a few years. This time, he could only use 3 billion yuan for investment. , if it is an investment of 3 billion yuan in inland areas or Africa, it is a sky-high investment, but in Taiwan, where capital is highly concentrated, I am afraid it is not very impressive. Just opening an additional chain store will cost hundreds of millions of yuan. And the benefit is not very good,
It seems that you have to be cautious when investing money in the home appliance industry.
"Boss, I think we can start with Yangzi Group. They have wanted to cooperate with us many times, but our company is in the transition stage, and we haven't had much contact with them without instructions from the head office." If we can't survive, You must find a partner to increase your bargaining chip for survival. Cooperation is a good way, but Li Cong's partners are not incompetent. The Yangzi Group was very powerful in the country before liberation. It's hard to say.
"What kind of cooperation? Don't let the weasel give the chicken New Year's greetings. Although our group has not yet established a firm foothold in Taiwan, it is not enough for people to bully." Now Li Cong has begun to be a little bit overwhelmed by his self-esteem. I'm dizzy, since I became a rich man, no one other than the government has dared to give me eye drops, even the government has helped me a lot to give me a task. Back off here, isn't this nonsense.
"Boss, Yangzi Group is going to cooperate with us to form the largest home appliance chain group in Taiwan. Their stores will merge with ours. Their strength is stronger than ours, but our channels are better than theirs. After all, our Samsung Group is the general agent in Taiwan, so that both parties will each have half of the shares." This plan is very problematic, the store is just something on the bright side, the value can be estimated, and the channel is the home appliance industry For the real thing in this industry, if the channel is shared, it may be the end of Great Wall Appliances. It seems that Manager Cui is trying to trick himself, a novice, into not understanding anything.
"Well, bring me the plan and have a look. Anyway, I'm not here to focus on the development of the home appliance industry. You go out first. I'll take a break. I'll call you if something happens." Li never said calmly. After the decision plan is brought, let Jenny check it carefully, make sure to find out some written deeds, and then let this stick go.
I didn't expect a small Taiwan to be so complicated. The underworld has the Hongmen, the Green Gang, and more associations. Even a small home appliance retail industry can bring out big forces like Guo Taiming, the Kong family, and Little Japan. It turns out that Li Cong I still think that I am a strong dragon, but now it seems that the name of this strong dragon is a bit far-fetched. There are so many strong people in Taiwan, which is a bit scary.
"What's the matter, brother, how did I hear about the Yamaguchi-gumi? Is there a problem? I will kill him. In Japan, our Hongmen's strength may not be at the same level as the Yamaguchi-gumi, but in Taiwan, forty-eight hours let the Yamaguchi-gumi It's absolutely fine to get out of Taiwan." Zhong Qingshan was confused for a long time, but he didn't understand anything, and then he heard a Yamaguchi group, which has his own potential, don't let his elder brother feel that he is a burden, hurry up Show off.
"Hurry up and give me a break. How could Hongmen have such a treasure like you? I feel that if you take the role of your master, the underworld all over the world will be messed up." Li Cong looked at this helplessly. Unscrupulous little brother, what are you thinking in your mind?
"Hey, it's mainly because I have nothing to do. Why don't we go out for a stroll? Didn't you see all the beautiful Taiwanese girls on the street are waiting for me." This kid looks like a pervert. It is estimated that he has to make love to his own subordinates such as Blueberry and Jenny. We have seen Hongmen's skills, but Hongmen's family members are really good at picking up girls, and those stewardesses are proof.
"You think I don't want to, but the master said that I can't be more than 50 meters away from you. Did you tell me to stroll in this hotel? Look at the different house numbers? Or go to the top of the building to look at the sky?" I was dizzy, there is such a rule , it seems that Huangfu Yu really cares about him.
"Just play your game, others don't know my skills, but you don't know?" Li Cong said mysteriously.
"That's right, but the teacher's order is hard to break, I think we brothers should go together, the MM who sweeps the streets and alleys of Taiwan, in the future, our brothers will be famous and famous, what a handsome thing." This kid has already started flirting Yes, Li Cong didn't dare to go out with this mentally handicapped person after hearing what kind of flower history he was talking about.
Ignoring the boy's protests, he just pushed him out, and he wanted to go out and have a look, but if such a clown followed him, then he would not be asking for trouble, but the trouble would be looking for him.
