Chapter 144 Yuan Miao’s Invitation

If the news that the Carefour Group failed to acquire Carrefour Supermarket was an atomic bomb, then the news that the American Wal-Mart Group would cooperate with Carrefour Supermarket was a hydrogen bomb, which made everyone fall on their backs and see stars in their eyes. I don’t know how many people are here.

For a moment, I wondered if there was something wrong with my ears and I heard something wrong, or maybe the host on the TV was dazzled and read the press release wrongly. For a moment, the phone calls on the TV station were buzzing one after another, and they were about to be blown away.

.

"When did Carrefour supermarkets become so popular?" After they repeatedly confirmed that this was true, everyone couldn't help but raise a question. The European Carefour Group wanted to acquire it, and the American Wal-Mart Group took the initiative to come to the door.

Come to cooperate with it. If everyone didn't know that Carrefour Supermarket was founded in Pingchuan County, it has only been three years, and it has been mistaken for a nationally famous time-honored brand. Is this a round of hype? Carrefour Supermarket is refusing

After the acquisition of Carefour Group, in order to maintain the company's visibility in the media and further attract the public's attention, false news was thrown out?

However, this news was announced by Sun Zhaolun in public. If it turns out to be false news, it will undoubtedly have a direct negative impact on the credibility of Sun Zhaolun and Carrefour Supermarket. Wouldn't it be worth the loss?

Questions remain questions. With the appearance of Tom and others in Fengyuan and the clear and unmistakable reply from the headquarters of Wal-Mart Group in the United States to the Chinese media, people finally believed that Wal-Mart Group was indeed interested in doing business with Carrefour supermarkets.

cooperate on.

As a result, Carrefour Supermarket has once again become the focus of media reports. Countless people want to know why Wal-Mart Group, the largest retail chain in the United States and the world's largest retail supermarket chain, is interested in having a total asset of only tens of millions of dollars.

, there are only dozens of stores. Compared with the behemoth Wal-Mart Group, it is like a dwarf Carrefour supermarket! The elites in the shopping mall were even more excited.

This is simply the most amazing event since China's reform and opening up - a retail supermarket chain company that was born only a few years ago has been favored by the world's largest and second largest European and American retail giants in a short period of time.

.If you can find out the reason why Carrefour Supermarket has been favored by Wal-Mart Group and Carefour Group, and then copy it, it will definitely be of great benefit to your own company. If you can also attract those multinational companies because of this,

The company's attention, then naturally it couldn't be better!

How did they know that this miracle of Carrefour Supermarket is actually not replicable at all? Without the Carrefour trademark to attract Carefour Group, Carefour Group would never have spent so much real money just relying on these existing stores.

If it comes from gold and silver, it may even be ignored at all; without the friendship between Fang Mingyuan and Cameron, Wal-Mart Group would not even notice the Carrefour supermarket in mainland China, let alone realize it.

Naturally, the carefour group’s intentions are not so easy to talk about in negotiations, and they use the gun of Carrefour supermarket to stab the carefour group. Naturally, people who are not involved in the interlocking relationship will not understand this interlocking relationship.

There are also those who think they are superior to others, but they are too lazy to ponder the mystery, but simply want to pick peaches...

Of course, the most direct benefit brought by these two things is that Carrefour Supermarket is already well-known in China. The situation in rural towns and villages is hard to say, but in cities at or above the prefecture level across the country, I believe that as long as people pay attention to newspapers and TV

, not many people don’t know about Carrefour Supermarket. Moreover, these media not only reported the things that Carrefour Supermarket, Wal-Mart Group and Carefour Group must talk about, but also dug up the past events of Carrefour Supermarket. Many people suddenly remembered that year

In the price increase trend sweeping the country, the once famous small supermarket in a small county in Qinxi Province refused to increase prices.

As a side benefit, Gu Yucheng secretly handed over the message. In view of the surge in popularity of Carrefour Supermarket across the country and the bright future development prospects, the Bank of Communications Head Office decided to increase its support for Carrefour Supermarket. In other words,

That is to say, Carrefour Supermarket can now borrow money from the Bank of Communications. And there is no need to submit any collateral. Sun Zhaolun is overjoyed. Although Carrefour Supermarket currently has no shortage of working capital, it is unable to continue its expansion. He is trying to borrow

Taking this opportunity to expand to the southeastern coast and those first-tier cities, Gu Yucheng is simply giving timely help.

This first goal is naturally placed on the three major municipalities: Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai. As long as we can establish a firm foothold in these three places, then entering other first-tier cities will be a matter of course. I am already feeling bored.

Sun Zhaolun, who has been with him for a long time, is naturally eager to take advantage of this opportunity. He has already done all the preliminary preparations, and the location selection of the store has been completed. As long as he has sufficient funds, he can definitely promote this round of expansion.

.

"Uncle Sun, I think that instead of blooming at three o'clock, we should concentrate our efforts first and build our brand in one place!" Fang Mingyuan reminded Sun Zhaolun tactfully. With the support of Bank of Communications, Carrefour Supermarket's funds are not a problem now, but

Fang Mingyuan does not believe that corporate expansion can be achieved as long as you have money. He understands Sun Zhaolun's purpose of doing this. In the final analysis, he still hopes that Carrefour Supermarket can occupy these three markets before Wal-Mart Group and Carefour Group enter the Chinese market.

This is the highest point, laying a solid foundation for Carrefour Supermarket's future development in the country.

But the capital city is better. After all, the Fang Family Restaurant has already established a foothold there. I have lived in the capital city for many years in my previous life. With the help of the Su family and the Mei family, it is not difficult to establish a foothold. Jinmen is adjacent to the capital city.

That’s not to say that it’s a no-brainer, but who will open up the Shanghai market? Carrefour Supermarket is developing too fast. Just these dozens of stores in the province have already consumed all their reserve talents.

Net, and the Shanghai stock market is different from ordinary cities. As a frontier city of reform and opening up, the Shanghai stock market now has several shopping malls run by Japanese and small supermarkets run by Hong Kong people, and the shopping mall situation in the entire Shanghai stock market is very complicated.

, various forces are entangled in it, and it is not easy for Carrefour Supermarket to gain a foothold among them.

If Sun Zhaolun can personally take action, Fang Mingyuan believes that the store in Shanghai can be successfully established, but as the general manager, how can he not sit in the center when he is often away from Qin Xi?

Sun Zhaolun also understands Fang Mingyuan's worries, but he is really reluctant to part with this rare opportunity. With the previous paving the way for Wal-Mart Group and Carefour Group, Carrefour Supermarket's popularity in China has now reached its peak. At this time, high-profile

For expansion, local resistance from the local area can be suppressed to the lowest point. If we want to have such an opportunity in the future, it will be a rare opportunity.

"Sigh... then let me go back and think about it again!" Sun Zhaolun shook his head and sighed, putting away the information on the table.

Before he reached the door, Sun Zhaolun turned back, took out a gold-gilded invitation from his pocket, and placed it on Fang Mingyuan's table. "I almost forgot about this. This is Yuan, the CEO of Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd.

The invitation sent by Miao, Mr. Fang, and I are invited to attend the banquet the night after tomorrow. This is Mr. Fang’s share, but I don’t know if Mr. Fang is free? "

"Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd.?" Fang Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, then picked up the invitation.

"Young Master Fang, this Yuan Miao is not an ordinary person. It is said that he has a profound background and is quite popular in Fengyuan City and even Qinxi Province. But in the past, everyone used to keep their distance, and the roads faced the sky. I don't know why he suddenly gave me

Did Mr. Fang send you an invitation?"

Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd., as a Hong Konger, Sun Zhaolun did not know its background, but Fang Mingyuan was no stranger to it.

Fang Mingyuan still remembered that in his previous life, around 1998, a major smuggling case occurred in Qinxi, and the protagonist was Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd.! That year, he happened to be in his sophomore year and returned to Qinxi Province

While visiting relatives, I learned some things about Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd. from my second uncle's mouth. The reason why I remember it so clearly is because it also involved the second aunt's natal family. That was a nephew of the second aunt's natal family.

The man who worked for Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd. was also taken away by the Fengyuan police station at that time. Fortunately, it was finally found out that the second aunt's nephew was not involved in the smuggling case and was just a normal employee of the company.

The second aunt's mother-in-law asked someone to go away again, and she was soon released.

According to the second uncle, Changan Trading Co., Ltd. can get luxury imported cars at very low prices - whether it is a BMW with a market price of hundreds of thousands of yuan or a luxury car Bentley with a market price of nearly millions of yuan. As long as you specify it,

For European and American luxury cars, it would take as long as three months or as little as one month for the staff of Changan Trading Co., Ltd. to drive the car to the customer and complete all the procedures. Therefore, in Fengyuan at that time, even

In Qinxi Province, Changan Trading Co., Ltd. is well-known in the automobile sales industry.

Judging from the contents of the reports at the time, Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd. mainly smuggled through customs, supplemented by under-reporting smuggling, and used low-reporting to cover up smuggling. They smuggled in from the southern border of China through overseas smuggling groups, and then transported them to Qin

Western Province. In order to avoid detection along the way, they also privately carved various seals of Fengyuan Customs and Fengyuan City Traffic Police Detachment, forged customs declaration documents and fake temporary license plates. Then, they purchased the scrapped vehicles and transferred the frame numbers of the smuggled vehicles to

, the engine number is changed, and then the scrapped vehicle procedures or customs declaration procedures are applied to sell the smuggled vehicles at high prices. Some even sell them directly to car buyers without any procedures, making huge profits from them.

Many of these smuggled cars are foreign second-hand cars or stolen cars, or even scrapped cars that have been refurbished, so the cost of the vehicles is very low. China also imposes high import taxes on car imports. A car sold overseas is priced at one million

If a luxury car worth RMB 100,000 is imported normally, including taxes and insurance, the price of the car can basically more than double. These people smuggle vehicles and sell them, and they can make almost 100% profit, even with a minimum of one car.

Earn more than 100,000 yuan. This was a huge profit in the 1990s.

It is precisely because of the staggering profits that car smuggling was once rampant in China, with smuggled cars accounting for more than half of the smuggling cases. From the major smuggling cases in the South China Sea in the 1980s to car smuggling in the Ludong Peninsula in the late 1990s

In the 1990s, Tianjin Customs seized three to four thousand smuggled cars. In order to park so many smuggled cars, Tianjin Customs had to temporarily rent five dock warehouses.

.These are only the ones that have been found, and the number that has not been found is even more considerable than this.

Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd. was the largest smuggled car distribution center in Qinxi Province at that time. It is said that in 1997 alone, the value of the smuggled cars involved in the company was as high as nearly 100 million yuan, and the amount of tax evasion exceeded more than 20 million yuan.

Being able to smuggle cars on such a large scale all year round, it goes without saying that the background of his boss is profound. It is said that a very important reason why Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd. collapsed was because his protective umbrella in Qinxi Province collapsed.

When the tree fell, the hozen scattered, and without anyone to protect it, they fell together.

Fang Mingyuan was not surprised why he would send invitations to him. As the boss of such a company, Yuan Miao's energy was naturally beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Although, his identity might be different in the eyes of ordinary people.

It's a fog, but for people like them, it's nothing.

But what did he mean by inviting himself and Sun Zhaolun?

Although Fang Mingyuan has long known about the existence of Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd. and understands that it is not a good bird, Fang Mingyuan has not been so impulsive as to expose it. A smuggler who can take root in Fengyuan City in just one year

It is conceivable that the smuggling gang with a total turnover of hundreds of millions of dollars is very powerful in all aspects. In particular, it also involves some figures in the officialdom. If you want to bring them down, the price you have to pay is huge.

Even the Governor and Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Qinxi Province are also thinking over and over again. I am just a reborn half-otaku. I am neither a superman nor a God.

I learned some things from my mouth, but there is no evidence at all, so if Sun Zhaolun hadn't mentioned it, Fang Mingyuan would not have been able to remember it.

Fang Mingyuan opened the invitation casually. As expected, as Sun Zhaolun said, Fang Mingyuan was invited to attend the banquet at the Chang'an Guild Hall the day after tomorrow. However, in the column of invitees, Fang Mingyuan noticed that there was another name - Qi Yan.
