Chapter 199: Walmart Invasion
Chapter 199: Walmart invasion
On the third day after Shi Yi got on the boat and went to sea, Guanghao Street Industry under Anhua Construction Company was quietly sold to a man named Wei Haidong for 200 million yuan. The property transfer procedures were deliberately pleading, and it took only 24 hours to replace the owner.
On August 9th, Weihaidong began selling real estate industries in the prime location of Guanghao Street, quietly selling.
"Mr. Wei, happy cooperation!" A middle-aged man with a somewhat bald head held a thick stack of documents in his hand and happily handed a check to Wei Haidong's hand with a smile on his face.
"Oh." Wei Haidong took the check calmly, looked at the numbers on it, then sighed heavily, and said, "If I hadn't been going abroad suddenly, I wouldn't want to sell these stores..."
"Understand, understand." The middle-aged bald man kept smiling, but cursed Wei Haidong's fool, idiot. Seeing that Guanghao Street was about to be renovated, he actually sold the connected stores of these three prime locations to himself at a price of 8,000 yuan per square meter! Didn't he know that the land price of the prime location of Guanghao Street had risen to nearly 9,000 yuan per square meter?! When the reconstruction of Guanghao Street is completed, it will be enough for him to spend his entire life alone by collecting rent!
After seeing off the bald man, Wei Haidong showed a disdainful smile on his face. He took out a wallet from his shirt pocket and stuffed the check he had just received. At this time, there were nearly fifty checks in his wallet! Plus direct cash payment and bank transfer...
"A group of guys who were blinded by interests!" Looking at the check in their wallet, Wei Haidong said softly, then bent down and lifted the black box on the ground, left the small box of the teahouse, and rushed towards the next appointment location.
"Dingling..." The phone in Jiang Na's office suddenly rang. Jiang Na, who was looking down at the market report under her subordinates who reported it, didn't even raise her head after hearing the ringtone. She directly reached out and grabbed the phone and put it in her ear: "Hey, I'm Jiang Na, who do you want?"
"Hey, Senior Sister Jiang... Oh, no, Manager Jiang!" A young girl's voice came from the other end of the phone, a little quick, but her words were clear: "Not good!"
"What?" Jiang Na was stunned when she heard this. She could already hear the girl's voice. It was the girl who was sent to Shenzhen to investigate the market a few days ago, and Jiang Na's schoolgirl.
"I heard a message in Shenzhen." The girl swallowed and said anxiously: "Manager Jiang, do you know Walmart?!"
"I know, international retail giant, what?" Jiang Na put down the market research report she was checking in her hand, frowned slightly and said, "It has something to do with it?"
"Yeah!" The girl nodded quickly, stopped talking and said directly: "I heard that Walmart was discussing with a local supermarket in Shenzhen about opening a shopping mall and membership store. I also heard that this matter has reached the level of agreement on the substantive contract! I also went to the shopping mall today and saw that most of the renovation has been made, covering an area of more than 10,000 square meters! Manager Jiang, what should I do?!"
"What?!" Jiang Na was so shocked by the girl's words that she couldn't speak for a long time. A strong sense of crisis hit Jiang Na's nerves. After a brief moment of stunnedness, Jiang Na immediately ordered: "Temporarily give up the Shenzhen market research task, pay close attention to Walmart's updates in Shenzhen, and report the latest situation to me anytime and anywhere!"
"Yes, Manager Jiang!" The girl responded, then asked some questions before hanging up the phone. However, Jiang Na held the phone and didn't let it go for a long time. The sudden appearance of Walmart made Jiang Na feel off guard.
"Oh!" After a long time of ten seconds, Jiang Na slapped her forehead suddenly, put down the phone and hurriedly left her office. She didn't even wait for the elevator, and went up the stairs and ran towards the seventh floor. You must tell Lu Yongming to know about this matter quickly!
"Dididi..." It has been sailing on the sea for four days. Shi Yi was sitting under a sun umbrella with Zhou Xiuxiu, leisurely holding a fishing rod to fish. On the other hand, he was in love with Zhou Xiuxiu and was very sweet. Behind the two was a small pond of about three square meters, which was specially used to store fish. At this time, there were several sea fishes in the pond that both of them could not name, swimming uneasy in the pond.
But this quiet and sweet atmosphere was broken by a sudden ringtone of the cell phone. He looked at the cell phone on the deck aside in surprise. Shi Yi shook his head and reached out to grab the phone.
"Hey, Mr. Shi?" Lu Yongming's slightly anxious voice came from his phone. In fact, most of the calls Shi Yi received were a little anxious. After all, there were not many people who knew his number. If it was okay, no one would call him and chat, of course, except Zhou Xiuxiu.
"Well, what's wrong?" Shi Yi nodded softly, lifted the fishing rod, put it aside, looked at Zhou Xiuxiu, then stood up, slowly walked to the side, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"That's right." Lu Yongming told Shi Yi about Jiang Na's report, and then said: "This incident happened so suddenly. We didn't even know the situation at all in advance. If it weren't for the two employees of the research department going to Shenzhen to investigate the market, we would probably have to wait until the Walmart shopping mall officially opened before we could know!"
"Hmm? So fast?!" After hearing Lu Yongming's report, Shi Yi was stunned for a moment. Shi Yi must have known that Walmart was about to enter the Chinese market. And last time, there was also the president of Walmart's Asia branch behind Lemei Department Store. However, Shi Yi did not expect that Walmart had such a big move just after cutting off the connection between Lemei and Walmart!
Because in Shi Yi's memory, Walmart officially entered China should be the second half of 1996! And now, it is August of 1995!
It was a year earlier than the time in history!
"Dr. Shi." Lu Yongming calmed down and organized the language and said: "It is a foregone conclusion that Walmart entered China. I remember that when you first met me in Shanghai, you also mentioned the Walmart incident. Our Anwar and Walmart competed with each other. Since Anwar was founded, we have entered a stage of opposition. Now, I think we should hurry up and study countermeasures and take the lead in stabilizing the market before Walmart has taken root in the land of China! Only after we take root deeply can we compete with Walmart head-on, at least in China!"
"Well, you can discuss it first." Shi Yi glanced at the vast sea and said, "I can't get back here for a while. You can come up with a feasible plan first and discuss it after I go back."
"Then Mr. Shi, when will you be able to return to Wenzhou?" Lu Yongming asked.
"No. 14 or 5." Shi Yi thought for a while and said, "No. 16 or 16 at the latest."
"Okay." Lu Yongming responded, then hung up the phone, looked at Jiang Na who was waiting for the news at the station, and said, "Dr. Shi will come back at the latest on the 16th. We will come up with a set of highly feasible response plans within a few days. You go and prepare the information. I will notify everyone now and prepare for the meeting!"
"Okay." Jiang Na nodded. At this time, she had no intention of asking where Shi Yi went and who he went with... The most important thing is!
"Dr. Lei." Far away in a dozen-story office building in Shenzhen, in a spacious office on the top floor, a man in his early thirties was holding a golf bat and staring back and forth at the target ten meters away. Next to him was a woman in her professional attire in her 27 or 28. Although she was not beautiful, she gave people a sense of maturity and stability. At this time, she was holding two folders in her arms and said to the man: "There are six supermarkets open, and the market reaction is very good. It is expected that we will be able to recover all our investment by mid-next month at the latest."
"Bang..." Hearing the woman's words, the man suddenly swung the bat and the golf ball was knocked out. He did not check whether the ball hit the target. The man turned his head and looked at the woman and smiled, "This is very good."
"But..." the woman hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that Walmart..."
"Don't be careless with me." The man looked at the woman with a smile, put the golf bat back on the shelf, took off a white towel and wiped his hands, and said, "This is a matter of course. It is said that the shopping mall will officially open before New Year's Day this year, and the Sam's membership store will officially open in September. I have known about this matter for a long time."
"Then why are you..." the woman was ashamed, and hesitated for a while and asked, "Why don't you tell this news..."
"Tell Anhua Department Store headquarters, right?" The man took the woman's words and laughed: "The opening of the shopping mall is naturally our franchise store, which has no impact on the overall situation of Anhua. If you inform in advance, although you can gain a certain favor, you will not get any substantial benefits."
Speaking of this, the man narrowed his eyes: "Since we are the front-line soldiers, the artillery supply in the rear must keep up, right? I heard that Anhua now has more cash register systems and code scanning guns. As long as these things can be supplied to our supermarket in advance, and if we lose a few more money, we will also complete a shopping mall!"
"Do you want to fight Walmart?!" The woman widened her eyes, obviously unable to believe the man's words.
