The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang

Jardine is here!

On the fifth day of the money-burning war, Jardine officially announced its entry.

On this day, Jardine took over all the newspapers in Xiangjiang, including True News and Daily Daily under Black and White Media.

Jardines announced that starting today, 137 Wellcome supermarkets in Xiangjiang will offer discounts at the same time, which is more powerful than that of department stores. At the same time, Jardines also released an advertisement to recruit partners.

It turns out that Jardine has reached a consensus with Japan's 7-11, and Jardine has officially bought the franchise of 7-11 Xiangjiang.

As soon as these two advertisements came out, the already boiling Xiangjiang retail industry was like adding a bowl of water to the boiling oil pan, and everyone went crazy.

Unlike department stores, supermarkets are closely related to the lives of ordinary citizens. The discounted products in department stores may not be available to ordinary people for a while, but supermarkets are different. Vegetables, fruits, meat, and daily necessities are A family's everyday purchases.

Of course, Xiangjiang also has its own vegetable market and meat market. For example, the famous citizen Mr. Liu went to the vegetable market.

But in any case, Xiangjiang's supermarkets are closely related to the lives of Xiangjiang citizens.

When the crazy discounts started here, almost all the nurses in Xiangjiang were mobilized, and they rushed into the Wellcome Supermarket under Jardine Mathematics in an instant!

The population of the entire Xiangjiang is constant, and if they all come to the Wellcome Supermarket, naturally no one will go to the Baijia Supermarket under the Yunhai Group!

Since then, except for the Yunhai Convenience Store, the entire Yunhai Group has no customers in the remaining supermarkets and department stores.

In addition, the phone number at the 7-11 reception desk under Jardine was also ringing. Thanks to the Yunhai Convenience Store, the entire Xiangjiang knows the business model of the convenience store. There is no good access and purchase channels.

Now it is different, Jardine 7-11 has launched a franchise model, which gives hope to many Xiangjiang people who want to do this business.

Or go to the Jardine Franchise Office to inquire in person, or call to inquire.

Karmanin stood in the reception office, looking at the overcrowded hall outside the window and the scenes of every operator frantically answering the phone. At this time, Karmanin felt extremely happy.

Fortunately, we had a plan in advance. When we went to Japan, we brought a few people for short-term training. Otherwise, we would have no way to deal with the calls to join us!

After leaving the franchise office, Karmanen came to the Jardine headquarters, met Niu Bijian, told Niu Bijian about the situation of their franchise office, and then preached with some satisfaction.

Niu Bijian looked at Karmanin's appearance and did not refute. He was also very satisfied with this situation.

That said, we should also thank Yunhai Group. If it weren't for Yunhai Group, the citizens of Xiangjiang would not be able to understand the operation of the convenience store so clearly!

If you say that, we should really thank Yunhai Group! Karmanin said with a smile.

Niu Bijian said: However, although there are many people inquiring about franchising now, our own direct sales store should also be set up earlier. After all, it is not very intuitive to give people just looking at photos. If we can quickly If we build up our own directly-operated stores, it will be more direct to franchisees at that time!

Karmanin nodded and said: The company is already doing this. When our people went to Japan, I had already asked the company's people to find suitable stores. Now five stores have been finalized, and we have also negotiated with the landlord. I signed the lease contract, and now I am preparing to arrange for the construction unit to go in for decoration!

Niu Bijian was still very satisfied with Karmaning's speed of handling things. After smiling, he said: Very good!

Afterwards, Niu Bijian asked Karmaning: How is the situation at Wellcome Supermarket?

The smile on Karmanin's face became brighter and brighter, and he said: The passenger flow at the same time has at least doubled, but at the Baijia Supermarket Airport, the flow of people has dropped sharply, and there are almost no customers!

Niu Bijian became more and more happy, and said with a smile: Very well, supermarkets are different from department stores, and many of the products in them are fresh products with very short timeliness. In this case, the loss of Yunhai Group will be even greater. Already!

Karmanin nodded and said: That's right, according to our statistics, the entire Yunhai Group has lost at least 30 million Hong Kong dollars since the start of the war of burning money. If this continues, even if they rely on Chu Huan, they will lose!

Niu Bijian breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had not been in the top class of Jardine for a long time, he also watched Chu Huan grow up in Xiangjiang. Looking at everything, it is not a defeat, but now it seems that Chu Huan's defeat has become a certainty.

However, he still told Karmanin: Don't be happy too early in everything. After all, the Yunhai Group has not made a move yet. I believe that with our Jardine joining this war, the Yunhai Group will definitely enter the battle. Fighting is the real beginning.

Karmanin nodded and said: Yes, I have asked the people in the company to watch Yunhai Group 24 hours a day. If there is any trouble over there, they will report it to me immediately!

Niu Bijian nodded, and then said to Karmaning: The company has prepared one billion Hong Kong dollars for this matter, that is to say, in this battle, we can only win but not lose, otherwise the company will be in trouble. Very troublesome situation, I hope you can understand!

Jardine, HSBC and Jiaku are listed as one of the three major consortiums in Xiangjiang.

But in fact, judging from the current situation, it is actually difficult for Jardine Matheson to be tied with Jiaku and HSBC. Both Jiaku and HSBC have sufficient cash reserves. Although HSBC’s money is more from Xiangjiang depositors, this It does not impede HSBC's cash reserves.

On the other hand, Jardine did not have such sufficient cash reserves. First, Jardine paid a lot of cash to compete with Bao Yugang for Wharf. In addition, Jardine's overseas projects were not so smooth.

The current Jardine is not the richest man in Xiangjiang, but he must be the first loser in Xiangjiang. The loan on his body has already exceeded his warning line.

Karmaning looked at Niu Bijian with some doubts. Karmaning still knew a little about the financial situation of Jardine and Landmark. It was impossible for the company to raise so much cash in a short period of time?

Niu Bijian explained to Karmanin: The company pledged our equity to Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC Bank in exchange for the cash, so you should know the importance of this matter to the company, right?

Hearing what Niubijian said, Karmanin's expression became serious, and he preached to Niubijian seriously.

Mr. Taipan, please don't worry, this time we have united with the entire Xiangjiang retail industry. In the face of such a huge force, I don't think the Yunhai Group has the possibility of a comeback!

Niu Bijian nodded and said, It's better like this!

After discussing this matter, Niu Bijian talked about another matter to Karmaning. In Niu Bijian's view, it is impossible for Jardine to burn money in the entire Xiangjiang retail industry. It cost exactly one billion Hong Kong dollars, but Niu Bijian still prepared so much cash.

This not only has the development needs of 7-11, but also has another purpose!

How are you discussing with those local department stores in Xiangjiang? Are they willing to accept our shareholding?

This is Newbikin's real plan. It is the same idea as HSBC and some local banks in Xiangjiang. They also want to take this opportunity to enter the department store industry in Xiangjiang, buy shares in some local department stores in Xiangjiang, and then expand their business. Influence.

Karmanin nodded and said: We have already contacted them, but now those local banks in Xiangjiang have also thought of us, and they are also in contact with department stores in Xiangjiang, so at this time those department stores have become more reserved. Woke up!

The department store industry in Xiangjiang ushered in a strange phenomenon.

Two days ago, they were still having a headache about whether they could persevere, but at this moment they suddenly found that the financial problem that plagued them was no longer a problem, because now many banks are actively contacting them.

However, these department stores also understand that those banks do not have good intentions, because the real idea of ​​those banks is to enter the department store industry and cannibalize their shares in the company.

This also puts the owners of these department stores in a dilemma.

Daddy, if there is no new capital injection, we won't be able to hold on for long!

Yang Zhanmei sat in Yang Fusheng's office again and talked about the current situation.

Today, Jardine has also joined in. Although the products of supermarkets and department stores do not overlap much, the population of Xiangjiang is constant. As more people go to supermarkets, the number of people who come to our department stores will naturally increase. There are too many, and now all the department stores in Xiangjiang except Yunhai Group are offering discounts, and it is difficult for us to attract more customers with our current discounts!

Yang Fusheng's expression became more and more irritable, Hang Lung Bank, Overseas Trust Bank, Ka Wah Bank, etc. have already contacted me, and they also offered to provide our company with cash to survive this money-burning war, but their conditions are also Almost all of them require us to mortgage the company's equity, and also hope to become the company's shareholders, they are taking advantage of the fire!

At this time, the conditions put forward by several banks will definitely be very harsh.

This is also the reason why Yang Fusheng is not happy.

Yang Zhanmei said angrily: If I knew this was the result, we shouldn't have agreed to the Wing On Group's invitation to lower the price together!

Yang Fusheng had no choice but to smile bitterly, and said: We didn't want to join Wing On Group at the beginning, but we didn't want to join. In the retail industry, as long as a large-scale department store conducts price reduction and big reward activities, other department stores if they don't If we keep up, it will naturally affect our performance.”

Yang Zhanmei said: The Wing On Group is backed by the Wing On Bank. They are naturally confident, but now they have to make us pay the shares of their own company in order to win the final miserable victory. No matter how you think about it, it is a loss!

Now Yang Zhanmei no longer thinks that after this money-burning battle, they can take advantage of it!

Yang Fusheng waved his hand and said: It's useless to say these things now, please contact Hang Lung Bank. Now it seems that only their conditions are the most suitable!

Yang Zhanmei nodded helplessly.

.

Jardines has finally entered the battlefield!

In Wing On Center, Guo Linshan also knew that Jardine's Wellcome Supermarket joined the war of burning money.

They really pick the right time. When they enter the market at this time, other department stores have already turned their heads. However, the citizens of Xiangjiang have just felt a little tired of the discount activities. Their supermarket joined in, which once again ignited the enthusiasm of the citizens. Passion for shopping!

Guo Zhiquan analyzed.

Guo Zhiliang sighed: This is not the only thing. Jardine chose to move 7-11 to Xiangjiang at this time. When Yunhai Group loses and we carve up Yunhai Group's shares, they will definitely Make a fuss about this!

Why did the money-burning battle led by Wing On Group attract all the retail businesses in Xiangjiang to participate? Apart from what I have been talking about before, if they don’t enter at this time, then it will actually be the fate of Yunhai Group.

Without discounts, there will be no traffic.

The Yunhai Group has a big business, with a loss of 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and nothing can be seen, but if they switch to other companies, let alone 30 million Hong Kong dollars, even 3 million Hong Kong dollars in cash may cut off their cash flow !

In addition, the final idea of ​​these people is actually to make Yunhai Group unable to persist in the end.

Good luck depends on misfortune, and misfortune depends on blessing.

As the largest retail group in Xiangjiang, Yunhai Group naturally earns the highest profit when there is nothing to do, but once a loss occurs, Yunhai Group actually loses the most.

Yong'an Group just wanted to see Yunhai Group couldn't bear the final loss, and took the initiative to ask them for peace.

At that time, these retail companies in Xiangjiang, even if their hardships have come to an end, they will ask for a stake in Yunhai Group and change Yunhai Group from a private company to a public company. At that time, Yunhai Group will not be what Chu Huan said.

In that case, in fact, the entire retail industry in Xiangjiang has formed an alliance, which can better control the retail industry in Xiangjiang!

After all, everyone thinks the same.

They all want to take advantage of this money-burning battle to dominate the world!

Guo Linbi said: We don't need to worry about this matter, after all, we have never had a convenience store business, and when the whole matter is settled, we will discuss how to divide the Yunhai Group in detail.

Guo Linshan nodded and said, That's it. Now our biggest problem is to ensure that Yong'an Department Store survives to the end in this money-burning war and gets the profit we want!

After finishing speaking, Guo Linshan looked at Guo Zhiquan and asked, Ah Quan, how is your preparation going?

Guo Zhiquan nodded and said, Chairman, don't worry, I've asked Wing On Group to prepare a sum of 200 million in cash, which is enough to deal with this war.

The rise of this war made Yunhai Group lose the confidence to acquire our Yong'an Group, and it also freed us up to take out loans from our own bank. I don't know how we can thank Chu Huan after this matter is over. !

A smile appeared on Guo Linshan's face.

When Yunhai Group just broke out that it was going to acquire Yongan Group, Guo Linshan adopted the method of borrowing money from banks and friends she knew well.

At that time, he didn't even mention the idea of ​​getting money from Wing On Bank.

But it was different now. From Guo Linshan's point of view, Yunhai Group only had the power to parry and no longer had the power to fight back in this battle of burning money.

Since this is the case, they can borrow money from their own banks without any scruples.

As for the procedures

Is it important?

Guo Linbi smiled and said: The cash of 200 million Hong Kong dollars is enough for us to cope with the crisis in the past, but I also heard that many banks in Xiangjiang are now looking for shares in department stores. Now it seems that everyone thinks It's almost the same!

Hehe, that's not something we should worry about! Guo Linshan sat on the sofa relaxedly, and said with a smile: Now we are waiting for the Yunhai Group to join the battlefield, and then everyone will make a move together to make the Yunhai Group surrender!

.

Director Chu, Yunhai Group may have suffered a lot of losses during this period, right?

At the Fanling Royal Golf Course, Shen Bi and Chu Huan were playing golf and chatting!

Chu Huan said with a smile: I think during this period of time, HSBC should also find a department store that it can support, right?

Shen Bi was not surprised at all that Chu Huan was able to guess their HSBC's intentions. He would be surprised if Chu Huan couldn't guess it!

I have contacted a few companies, but the other party is still a little hesitant. You also know that this money-burning battle in the retail industry is basically a daily situation. In fact, many people are still watching it!

Chu Huan nodded and asked, Then Mr. Shen asked me to come over this time, maybe he wants to take a stake in Yunhai Group?

Shen Bi laughed, and said: If possible, we at HSBC would naturally hope so, but we also know that the possibility of such a thing is almost zero.

Now the outside world is rumored that with the joining of Jardine, the Yunhai Group has been attacked from both sides, and there is no sign of a comeback, but we know that Mr. Chu has not really made a move yet, and we also believe that Mr. Chu will fight in this battle. Will definitely win!

Chu Huan handed the club to the caddy, and Shen Bi did the same. The two walked on the court, but the caddy and the others wisely did not follow.

I didn't expect Mr. Shen to be so confident in our Yunhai Group!

Shen Bi chuckled, and said: It's okay if you don't believe it. Director Chu can create a super retail group that dominates the entire Asia under the noses of everyone. If there is one, there will be two. Who knows what else is in the hands of Chairman Chu? Wang Zha.

Past experience has already told us that HSBC, Mr. Chu never fights uncertain battles. The reason why Mr. Chu has not let Yunhai Group take action before this is not because Mr. Chu is thinking of a way to deal with it. But waiting for Jardine to join.

Since Chairman Chu wants to dominate the retail industry of Xiangjiang, it is naturally impossible to forget the supermarket field.

Now Jardine has not only brought Wellcome Supermarket into the battle, but also launched 7-11. I think Mr. Chu is just joking around, right?

Chu Huan sighed a little. In another time and space, Shen Bi was known as one of the most successful taipans in the history of HSBC, which is not without reason.

Apart from himself, Shen Bi is probably the one who sees the battle of Xiangjiang's retail industry most clearly.

Since this is the case, I don't know why Mr. Shen invited me over this time?

Chu Huan asked Shen Bi.

Shen Bi laughed softly, and said: Mr. Chu wants to unify Xiangjiang's retail industry, but it is impossible to merge all the department stores and supermarkets in Xiangjiang into the Yunhai Group. In my opinion, the best The best way is actually for Mr. Chu to buy shares in each department store and become one of their major shareholders.

As long as this is achieved, in fact, Chairman Chu has truly controlled Xiangjiang's retail business.

I don't know if I'm right?

After speaking, Shen Bi looked at Chu Huan seriously.

Chu Huan still didn't answer Shen Bi, but continued to ask: Mr. Shen, let's talk about your thoughts!

Shen Bi laughed and said: Nowadays, banks are choosing Xiangjiang's department stores, and Xiangjiang's department stores are also choosing banks. Even if Director Chu leads Yunhai Group to win in the end, there will definitely be many small department stores in the process. Companies go bankrupt, which is an inevitable trend no matter who wants to enter this industry.

As a creditor of some department stores, we, HSBC, naturally want to guarantee our interests.

Before, our two companies have formed a joint investment company. Although the business is just starting now, we have seen the future development trend of this company, so I think we should be able to form a new one now. investment company.

What this investment company has to do is that HSBC will come forward in the early stage, contact some department stores and become their creditors. When these people can't persist, HSBC can transfer these bonds to our joint venture company. At that time, we will naturally obtain the control of this company.

At that time, I will naturally be able to help Mr. Chu complete your idea of ​​unifying Xiangjiang's retail industry!

Chu Huan laughed loudly, and said, Mr. Shen, if we had cooperated like this when the Shaya Taipan was there, Roy would not be in the position of the HSBC Taipan at this time!

Shen Bi chuckled, not caring about Chu Huan's provocation, but said with a smile: So Director Chu, you agreed to our request from HSBC?

Chu Huan thought about it for a while. In fact, Chu Huan's first intention of instigating this money-burning war was to unify Xiangjiang's retail industry, and what Yunhai Group was going to do was actually similar to what Shen Bi said.

Yunhai Group can unify Xiangjiang's retail industry, but it cannot bring all the department stores under Yunhai Group's command. This is unrealistic.

However, it is still possible to acquire part of it and buy part of it.

If Yunhai Group does it by itself, it can actually do it, and HSBC does not need to enter the market.

But now HSBC is obviously ready to enter the market. HSBC is different from other consortiums in Xiangjiang. Their cash flow is not available to others. Time for HSBC to go to war.

Calculating Jardine through this incident is already the ultimate in such a political environment.

If Chu Huan even wants to plot against HSBC at this time, then both the Hong Kong government and England will go crazy. Even if Chu Huan already has a strong network in England, it is still not enough to support Chu Huan in this time period. Get HSBC.

Since everyone is still in a partnership, Chu Huan needs to seriously consider Shen Bi's current proposal.

It is true that if HSBC continues to deepen its cooperation with itself, it will definitely be more difficult to target HSBC in the future.

But if we can unite with HSBC in this incident, then we can deal a fatal blow to those department stores at the critical moment!

Each has its own advantages!

Now we can see how Chu Huan chose!

This decision did not delay Chu Huan for long, because Chu Huan knew that if he rejected HSBC at this time, according to Shen Bi's intelligence, he would definitely think of his later behavior.

so.

The cooperation with HSBC makes me very happy, and now there seems to be no reason to refuse Mr. Shen's invitation!

Just now Shen Bi hadn't said a word, just waiting for Chu Huan to think about it. Seeing that Chu Huan had already agreed to his proposal, a smile appeared on his face.

Although he also understands that the cooperation with Chu Huan this time will not be like the last time when the two parties jointly invested in a joint investment company, HSBC won the control of Hedi, but at the beginning, Shen Bi never thought about this. As long as they can participate in the control of a company, it is already a grand victory for HSBC!

First it was the textile industry, then the real estate industry, and now Mr. Chu will take over the retail industry. Mr. Chu's growth is unprecedented in the history of world business!

The earliest textile industry in Xiangjiang was defeated by Chu Huan when they challenged Jiaku. Later, Chu Huan even took advantage of huge amounts of cash, strong land reserves, and finally joined hands with HSBC to take down Xiangjiang. The right to speak in the real estate industry.

Now Chu Huan is about to take over the retail industry.

This kind of influence made Shen Bi look sideways, and even for a moment, Shen Bi was in a daze. If he really chose to cooperate with Chu Huan from the beginning, would he really lead HSBC to become even stronger? What about the existence?

Mr. Shen is too polite. To be honest, at the beginning, I really just wanted Wing On Department Store. It's not about unifying Xiangjiang's retail industry, but it's just forced by the times!

Chu Huan preached half truth and half falsehood.

Shen Bi asked with a smile: Now that Jardine has made a move, I don't know when Yunhai Group will make a move?

Chu Huan smiled: Tomorrow, the battle tomorrow will enter another stage!

Also, the typo is changed first and then changed, Huangshan continues to code~
