Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

The latest website: The business capability of the acquisition team of Jiuding Securities Company is beyond doubt.

Xia Yu set two days to complete the acquisition of eleven fresh and cooked food suppliers, and it was fully completed within two days.

Among the eleven suppliers, in addition to the seven that cut off the supply of 7-11 convenience stores, the other four suppliers did not participate in the cut off, but they were also bought strongly.

It's just that this kind of acquisition, which is purely based on money, is efficient, but it costs a lot.

Eleven fresh-cooked food suppliers, including Kuroki Cuisine, Matsuno Sushi Co., Blue House Food Co., Kappa Cuisine Co., and Tokubei Food Co., cost a total of 16.74 billion yen.

After completing the acquisition of these eleven fresh and cooked food suppliers, Jiuding Securities Company immediately transferred the ownership to 7-11 convenience stores.

The crisis of 7-11 convenience store's fresh food cut-off was instantly lifted, and there is no future trouble.

But in this case, it is the Ito-Yokado convenience store that suffers.

On the morning of November 18, "All Day News" and some newspapers all reported relevant news.

"... Eleven fresh food suppliers including Kuroki Cuisine, Matsuno Sushi, Blue House, Kappa Cuisine, and Tokubei will suspend their cooperation with Ito-Yokado convenience store from today and sign a contract with 7-11 convenience store. Long-term supply agreement, if consumers buy the above brands, please go to 7-11 convenience store."

"すげえ!"

Early in the morning, Hao Aoki, the president of Lawson Convenience Store, just came to the company. When he read the news on "All Day News", he couldn't help but exclaim.

"It was completely unexpected. I thought that the 7-11 convenience store could urgently mobilize food from the five-star hotel. I didn't expect their counterattack to come so quickly and so violently."

"It's really a strong opponent, and it's really different if you rely on a big consortium."

In addition to sighing, Aoki Hao's face was full of solemnity.

From this point alone, he can feel the horror of 7-11 convenience stores.

He thought from another perspective. If the Rosen convenience store encountered such a crisis, it would be difficult for him to solve the crisis within two days, and he would also transition smoothly in the middle.

Of course, with the size of the Darong Group behind the Rosen convenience store, no supplier would dare to do so unless they are willing to fight against the largest retail group in the island country.

"Now it's Suzuki Toshiba who is anxious, haha..."

Aoki Hao couldn't help but smile, as if thinking of his old rival Suzuki Toshibu's frantic appearance.

"Although the 7-11 convenience store is a strong opponent, but now the Ito-Yokado convenience store has been hit hard again, let's follow the original plan. It's time for us to do it."

After muttering to himself, Aoki Hao immediately asked the secretary to notify all executives of the meeting.

...

The situation is just as Aoki Hao thought.

When Toshibu Suzuki learned that his confession had been cut off, he was about to explode with anger, and scolded the 7-11 convenience store in the office.

The supply of all fresh food in nearly 1,000 Ito-Yokado convenience stores has been cut off. The impact is catastrophic, much greater than the crisis encountered by 7-11 convenience stores!

And there is no room for manoeuvre, and it has also been made public.

Although the circulation of "Jiangsu Shimbun" is not as influential as "Yomiuri Shimbun", "Asahi Shimbun" and other newspapers, it is also a newspaper with a daily circulation of more than three million copies.

Coupled with the reports of other newspapers, I don't know how many consumers know about Ito-Yokado at this moment, and some consumers even went to the store to verify the authenticity of the news.

It is impossible for Suzuki Toshibu to resolve this crisis immediately.

The number of stores that the Ito-Yokado convenience store is proud of has increased the difficulty.

On that day, the average daily turnover of the Ito-Yokado convenience store plummeted to 225,000 yen.

the next two days.

The average daily sales of a single store were 204,000 yen and 197,000 yen, respectively.

It was not until the fourth day of the crisis that Toshiba Suzuki solved the problem of fresh food supply in all stores.

The solution is not a long-term solution, because he divides all the stores into areas, and then finds local restaurants and suppliers with some scales to provide fresh food.

Just because it is not a unified supplier, the quality of fresh food is uneven, and the variety is not as rich as before.

But it is better than no fresh food supply.

As a result, the average daily turnover of Ito-Yokado convenience store has finally rebounded, but it has not returned to the 300,000 yen mark, only 269,000 yen, and the gross profit margin of a single store's comprehensive merchandise has fallen. for a while.

No way, in convenience stores, the turnover and gross profit of fresh and cooked food are terrifying.

Before the 7-11 convenience store period, fresh food products accounted for more than 50% of the total gross profit!

And because of fresh food products, it has driven the sales of other products.

Now the fresh food products of Ito-Yokado convenience store have been completely changed, and almost all the customers who were keen to buy fresh food accumulated before have been driven away.

Toshifumi Suzuki has not breathed a sigh of relief, and new crises broke out one after another.

First, Lawson convenience store announced a month-long promotion, followed by FamilyMart and 7-11 convenience stores also announced a month-long promotion.

The passenger flow and turnover of the Ito-Yokado convenience store that has just stabilized plummeted again, falling to below 200,000 yen per store per day.

However, Suzuki Toshibu and Ito Masaharu were hesitant to follow up. After thinking about it for two days, they saw that the situation was not good, so they could only grit their teeth and follow up to fight a price war.

Suzuki Toshibu, who has always claimed to retain customers with quality and never fight price wars, slapped himself in the face.

Even so, the revenue of the Ito-Yokado convenience store has only stabilized at around 200,000 yen, with relatively large fluctuations.

After the event, the company's daily loss rose from 133 million yen to 187 million yen.

The crisis doesn't stop there.

7-11 convenience store and Lawson convenience store also poached people with hoes. In a short period of time, nearly 1,000 people from Ito-Yokado convenience store applied for resignation.

Among these nearly 1,000 people, 847 were poached by 7-11 convenience stores.

With the number of employees in the personnel department of the 7-11 convenience store, if you want to recruit these 847 talents, you will not be able to do it without sleep.

But with the full cooperation of a headhunting company like Korn Ferry Island Branch, it would not be too smooth.

And the digging action has not stopped.

The resignation report still flew like a snowflake to the personnel department of the Ito-Yokado convenience store.

Suzuki Toshibu was devastated by this, but he didn't have a good solution. He couldn't give him a higher position and a better salary.

With the current revenue of Ito-Yokado convenience store, it is already operating at a loss. Once the salary is increased, the salary system of the entire company will be affected. One person’s monthly salary will be increased by 5,000 yen (equivalent to HKD 140). More than 5,000 employees have to increase the management cost of more than 27 million yen every month, and more than 300 million a year!

And for those who want to quit and change jobs, adding 5,000 yen to their monthly salary is a piece of shit!

If you switch to a 7-11 convenience store, you can at least be promoted by one level. The salary of the same level of the 7-11 convenience store is higher than that of the Ito-Yokado convenience store, not to mention the salary corresponding to the at least one-level higher position. ?

One-fifth of the employees applied for resignation, which made the whole Ito-Yokado convenience store feel agitated. People at the top such as Suzuki Toshibu tried to suppress the discussion of the people below, but they found that the effect was not very effective.

Many middle- and lower-level department managers have reported their resignation, and people are in disarray. How can they lead the team?

Unless these people who apply for resignation are cleared out of the company as soon as possible, the consequence of the clearing is that the strength of the 7-11 convenience store will increase rapidly, the speed of expansion will be further accelerated, and there will be major problems for itself due to the incomplete handover of the business.

No way, Suzuki Toshibu can only let the personnel department press the resignation report first, and then start the recruitment on a large scale.

In the chaos, a month passed in a flash.

It is worth mentioning that on November 28, at the 100th (provisional) parliament of the island country, all the bills of the current parliament were passed, but then, the opposition party proposed a cabinet no-confidence bill to the parliament, Nakasone. Kang Hong immediately announced the dissolution of the House of Representatives and discussed the general election agenda.

On December 3, Nakasone Yasuhiro’s cabinet issued a complete campaign announcement. The polling day for the general election of the House of Representatives was set on December 18. Voting began at 8 o’clock in the morning and counting began at 8 o’clock in the evening. On the morning of the 19th, the results of the general election were announced one after another.

Therefore, as soon as December entered, the intensity of competition in the general election soared several levels, and candidates from all parties used their maximum resources to hold election campaigns.

The major TV stations, radio stations, newspapers and other media are constantly bombing day and night.

The fierce battle in the island nation's convenience store industry has almost been submerged in the face of the general election.

Finally, it's December 18th.

As dawn pierced through the darkness, voting for the general election of the island nation's House of Representatives has finally begun.
