From retail to global domination

Another discount from Huifeng Supermarket also indicates further escalation of competition.

There weren't many customers anymore, and now there were even fewer customers.

Carrefour is not bad, it has many more customers than other competitors. After all, it is a Fortune 500 company and a retail giant, but even so, it is still losing money.

They also have to offer discounts, otherwise even fewer people will speak up and a lot of the main message will be lost.

Everyone is offering discounts, but if you don’t offer them, it’s still the same product, so what do you want more?

It’s even more embarrassing for the media to know about it and hype it up!

Therefore, even though Carrefour currently has more customers than its peers, it is still losing money.

In reality, losses are nothing. In the stock market, losses are heartbreaking. Hundreds of millions of dollars are lost.

If this continues, the shares will disappear soon, unless the money-losing industries are dealt with, which means the Yangcheng market will be launched!

But they are not willing to withdraw from the Yangcheng market like this!

This is a first-tier city. Once you exit and try to enter, consumers will no longer trust you.

The credibility is gone.

This decision is really difficult to make, and once he withdraws from the Yangcheng market, he will become Carrefour and offend others!

Don’t expect to be reused again in this life!

He is unwilling to do so.

To be honest, in terms of ability, Xin Fenghua is definitely ranked high among Carrefour regional managers.

Otherwise, he would not be allowed to take over the mess that is Yangcheng.

But it's a pity that this time, no matter how capable he is, he still has to take responsibility!

Actually, it's quite unfair when you think about it. He didn't cause this trouble at all, but he has to take the blame for someone else?

But what can he do?

Who can I talk to to reason with you?

Who will listen to him?

Xin Fenghua knew very well that this time he was doomed!

To take the overall situation into consideration, Carrefour will definitely cut down 16 stores in Yangcheng.

What he guessed was correct.

Within three days, the headquarters made a decision to close 16 Carrefour stores in Yangcheng.

No, it was Huifeng who acquired these sixteen stores.

You know, the location of these sixteen stores in Yangcheng is particularly good. Now that the opportunity has arisen, Huifeng will of course acquire them, and now the only one that can acquire them is Huifeng.

2 million for one store and 32 million for 16 stores.

The price is not high, it is much more cost-effective than opening its own store, and Carrefour also received 32 million in cash.

It’s a win-win!

Although this win-win situation is not what Carrefour wants, what else would it do?

Reject Huifeng Supermarket’s acquisition?

Then you won't get a penny.

In the business world, you don’t have to worry about money.

If you have trouble with money, you have trouble with yourself.

Now that Carrefour has decided to sell the store, Xin Fenghua’s ending can be imagined. He was fired and became the one taking the blame!

As for Tian Haoran, he was actually reused?

You say it's ironic or not?

Xin Fenghua knew very well that there was no way to deal with it and she could only bear it slowly alone!

But what he didn't expect was that just after he was dismissed, he received a call from Li Ying.

Who does Li Ying and Xin Fenghua know?

He was very curious, why did Li Ying call him?

Humiliate him?

It shouldn't be.

The two parties are not on the same level. Li Ying is the second-in-command of the entire Huifeng Group. Who is he? The other party can't be that bad, right?

"Mr. Xin, I wonder if you are interested in developing Huifeng Supermarket?"

After Xin Fenghua answered the phone, Li Ying went straight to the topic.

Now Carrefour has fired Xin Fenghua, but Li Ying fell in love with his ability.

She checked Xin Fenghua's information and found that the Southwest regional manager had started out as a store manager. In less than ten years, he had become a regional manager, and his performance was not even as good as those in the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and so on.

How much less space.

This is ability.

After investigating this, Li Ying became interested in talents.

Huifeng Supermarket currently lacks such talents.

If you want to pry Xin Fenghua in normal times, it will be a fantasy.

He is the regional manager of the southwest region, and when he is promoted, he will be the vice president of the Asia headquarters. How can he go to Huifeng Supermarket?

After all, Huifeng Supermarket is only a local enterprise, while Carrefour is a Fortune 500 company. It is obvious which one has development.

Whether it is strength or reputation, Huifeng cannot compare with Carrefour.

So he will never go to Huifeng Supermarket.

But things are different now.

He was fired from Carrefour.

Li Ying knew very well that when Carrefour chose to withdraw from Yangcheng, Xin Fenghua's fate could not be changed!

She knows Carrefour too well.

This is also the reason why he called Xin Fenghua as soon as he was fired.

For talents like Xin Fenghua, do they still have to worry about finding a job?

When his colleagues know that he has been fired, they will definitely invite him. In this case, why not Huifeng recruit this guy first?

So Li Ying took action and invited him personally to express Huifeng's sincerity.

"Uh..." Xin Fenghua was stunned for a moment.

You're not here to ridicule him, but you want to recruit him into the gang?

But when I thought that it was because of Hui Feng that he ended up in this situation, I felt indignant.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, let's forget it. I'm not worthy of your company."

reject.

What to do if you don’t refuse?

Even if he leaves Carrefour, he still has no shortage of next homes, that's why he is so confident.

“Mr.

Will give up easily.

Once talents like Xin Fenghua are free, they will be hired immediately by the retail industry.

Only Carrefour is so willful, it just resigns when the talent says it.

The Fortune 500 is the Fortune 500. Its talent reserve is unmatched by others, and it is easy for Carrefour to recruit talents. Even if it dismisses Xin Fenghua today, it can still recruit a talent tomorrow. This is the benefit of reputation.

Anyway, Huifeng Supermarket does not have such capabilities.

This is true for the entire Huifeng Group. Recruiting low-level talents is attractive and the remuneration is high, but for high-level talents, there is still a bit to be desired!

There is no way, Huifeng started too late, senior talents will not easily go to a company, so Huifeng was excluded by them, and they will not choose Huifeng until it has truly established itself in five or ten years.

Don't join the job today. If the company goes bankrupt tomorrow, you will have to find a new job. At the same time, you will also lose the original opportunity, which is not worthwhile.

After hearing Li Ying's explanation, Xin Fenghua felt better.

The other party is the second-in-command of Huifeng Group, so explaining it to him in person can be regarded as a courtesy to him.

But he still doesn't want to go to Huifeng because he has too many choices and there is really no need to take a gamble.

Although Huifeng won the competition this time, it will be hard to say next time.

Huifeng's sharpness was so obvious that he offended all his colleagues. Next time, these guys will work together to deal with Huifeng. If they fail, they may use administrative means.

You must know that these retail groups are all state-owned and foreign companies, especially Wal-Mart and Carrefour. One ranks first and the other ranks 22nd among the world's top 500 companies.

Their words still carry a lot of weight, and with those domestic state-owned enterprise giants talking together, Huifeng Supermarket is likely to be harmonized in the end. This kind of thing is too normal in China.

Unless Huifeng Supermarket stays in the Northeast, it will be safer.

But Huifeng’s boss is too ambitious, how can he stay quietly in the Northeast?

It can be seen from their entry into YT and Yangcheng that after more than a year of development, Huifeng has already lost its patience and is somewhat ready to make a move.

To be honest, Xin Fenghua also admires Zhang Yang.

It would be a lie to say that I don't admire him. This guy didn't rely on anyone and developed Huifeng Supermarket into a giant in more than a year. It would be a lie to say that he doesn't admire him.

No, it’s not just Huifeng Supermarket, Huifeng Real Estate, Huifeng Mobile Phones, Huifeng Electrical Appliances, they are all blooming.

In particular, Huifeng Real Estate and Huifeng Mobile are even better than Huifeng Supermarket, with annual revenue of at least tens of billions.

Thinking of this, Xin Fenghua took a breath of cold air.

When it comes to cash flow, I'm afraid few can compare to Hui Feng.

If Carrefour headquarters really wants to fight to the death with Huifeng Supermarket, it’s hard to say who will win in the end. Maybe the headquarters has also seen this and chosen not to compete head-on with Huifeng Supermarket.

Trade time for space.

Let’s not go head-to-head with Huifeng Supermarket because we are not sure. Even if we win, both sides will lose.

In this case, why does Carrefour want to be the first to let other retailers take advantage?

When Huifeng continues to expand, it will inevitably have conflicts with other retailers. When the time comes, everyone will deal with Huifeng together, isn't it better than just one of them?

This is Carrefour's idea.

Although they have cooperated once before, except for Carrefour, no other company has made full efforts in this cooperation. Otherwise, how could Huifeng find such a loophole?

Even if he didn't think of it, didn't anyone else think of it either?

He didn't believe it.

There were more than a dozen heads of retail giants present at the time. If they were not capable, they would not be in this position.

Therefore, someone discovered this loophole at the time but did not warn them. They were probably waiting for Zhang Yang to get excited and fight with Carrefour so that they could take advantage.

Zhang Yang is young and knows a lot about his character. What will he think and do when he finds out that Carrefour is taking the lead?

It will definitely not give up, and this is indeed the case.

Huifeng was indeed pursuing Carrefour, and finally Carrefour headquarters compromised.

What if you don’t compromise?

In the end, both sides will lose, and others will naturally take the opportunity to rise up, occupy their position in China, and even knock Carrefour off the altar.

These thoughts were probably noticed by the headquarters, so they pushed him out to give Huifeng an explanation.

When he wanted to inform, cold sweat flowed from his forehead.

Nima.

No one is good, including Huifeng.

Sure enough, there are no absolute friends, only absolute interests!

Big things are not worth mentioning in the face of interests!

It seems that he is only suitable to be a regional manager, at least for now!

“Mr.

Double that of Carrefour." Li Ying knew very well that it was unrealistic to try to get Xin Fenghua into Huifeng Supermarket just by talking about it. He had to be tempted by the benefits.

To support him in becoming the regional manager of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, Huifeng Group provided him with 300 million to support him, and his salary was twice that of Carrefour. After hearing such favorable conditions, he did not believe that Xin Fenghua would not be tempted.

really.

Xin Fenghua stared and asked in disbelief: "Mr. Li is not joking?"

This treatment is so generous that it would be a lie to say that I wouldn't be tempted.

Anyone else would be tempted after hearing such treatment, and he was no exception.

He was given a level and support, and his salary was double that of Carrefour.

"Mr. Xin, do you think I'm so idle that I called you specifically to make a joke?" Li Yingzi pursed her lips slightly, with a kind smile on her face.

Although Xin Fenghua didn't see it, she could feel it.

"Okay, I agree to join Huifeng. Please take good care of me in the future - Mr. Li."

Just like that, Xin Fenghua here has just been fired and joined Huifeng Supermarket here.

When the industry heard this news, they had to sigh, Huifeng is so fast!

It's a pity that they are one step late!

Carrefour naturally also received such news, but they didn't care. As a long-established retail giant, they had experienced too many such things. What they hated most was that one person resigned as the president, and the other person was hired by a rival. What is a manager?

Or a regional manager.

When Zhang Yang heard the news, he was also startled.

He was not surprised that Li Ying accepted Xin Fenghua, but he was surprised that Li Ying would make him the regional manager of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei?

He takes office, what should Zhao Liang do?

Although Zhao Liang may have made some mistakes, at least he started the business together with him. Zhang Yang couldn't bear to exclude him from the center of power like this!

"I know what you are thinking, but have you ever thought that Zhao Liang's ability no longer matches his temper? What if he makes a strategic mistake in making him the regional manager of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei?

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei is different from Spring City. There are opportunities for correction, but Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei does not. Once we make a mistake, we may be doomed. Especially now, we have offended all our colleagues. Once we enter Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, there will be fierce competition.

, they will even unite against us again, and this time it may be a real confrontation. Will we have a chance to correct our mistakes by then?" Li Ying quickly analyzed the pros and cons.

After listening to Li Ying's words, Zhang Yang became thoughtful.

To be honest, he thought that Zhao Liang would leave one day, but not now.

He didn't want to drive Zhao Liang away, he wanted this guy to leave on his own, but Li Ying was right about one thing. When Zhao Liang left by himself, he also made a mistake. Can Huifeng afford it?

As his level gets higher, the mistakes he makes will become bigger. Even Zhang Yang doesn't know whether Huifeng can afford it when the time comes!

"Forget it, you decide!" Zhang Yang sighed.

Maybe Zhao Liang will be the first entrepreneurial partner to leave, but he will definitely not be the last!

For example, the Eighteen Arhats who founded Ali together back then were also the same, and Huifeng would not be able to avoid it.

This is the only way for every large enterprise. Although it is cruel, we must face the facts.

To be honest, even if Zhang Yang knew very well, Xin Fenghua's ability was definitely better than Zhao Liang's, which was beyond doubt, so Li Ying's choice was correct...
