The follow-up processing went smoothly, but Magistrate Xia was furious, and no one below was willing to stand up and speak for them. This was not a good time to make a splash. It was too late for everyone to protect themselves, so there was no chance of making a splash again.
Steel bars are indeed being resold, not only steel bars, but other building materials are also being resold. This has already involved job-related crimes, and the consequences are of course one can imagine.
Zhao Zhongming was handed over to the procuratorate for prosecution, and Zhao Zhongming's uncle, the vice president, was also implicated and retired early to go home for retirement.
For this matter, County Magistrate Xia even came to the door to explain, not wanting to cast a shadow on the cooperation between the two parties.
Li Jianren didn't care. Since the matter had been resolved, he just had to pay attention to precautions in the future. He still trusted County Magistrate Xia. This leader had always shown himself to be calm and hard-working, making him a rare good official.
This matter was quickly forgotten by Li Jianren, and naturally there was someone to help handle the follow-up, so he didn't need to worry about it.
Time continued to move forward quickly. On a weekend in mid-March, Wu Jiamin, whom he had not seen for a long time, suddenly appeared in Li Jianren's office. Li Jianren, who had not seen him for a long time, was a bit surprised.
"Brother Jiamin, long time no see, what kind of wind brought you here today?" Li Jianren was curious.
"Ah Ren, I am also a shareholder of the company, so of course I have to care about the company's situation. How are you doing recently? Is there anything else you need me to do?" Wu Jiamin and Li Jianren are not polite, they are now collaborators.
"It's not bad. It has started to develop in Jinling and Suzhou. Most of the medium-sized supermarkets in Jinling have opened and are slowly generating profits. As for the flagship store, the decoration of the store on Zhongshan Road Yulon Building has almost been completed. This month
Ready to open.
The store I just found on Yingtianmen Street will be renovated this month, and it is estimated that it will not be open until at least May. In addition, I have bought some land and plan to build three large supermarkets by myself.
In Suzhou, the expansion work has been done well, and Yang Chen has been trained." Li Jianren roughly explained to Wu Jiaming that he was a shareholder and had this right.
"I feel relieved after hearing your plan. It means that in the first half of the year, we have at least dozens of medium-sized supermarkets and two large supermarkets in operation." Wu Jiamin breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Jianren frowned and said, "Brother Jiamin, if something is wrong, just tell me straight away. There is no need to beat around the bush with me. There won't be any secrets, haha."
"I'm worried about you," Wu Jiamin sat down and made himself a cup of tea.
"Do you know? At the end of last year, the French Carrefour supermarket opened in the capital of eastern Guangdong Province, and the business was booming. I went to check it out last month, and they were actually about the same size as our Jianhui.
The service is also good.
But they seem to have a wider variety of products than we do, and they are very cost-effective. Some products are indeed cheaper than ours."
Li Jianren was pondering. In his impression, foreign large supermarkets only entered Yisu Province in 1997, but he was not very clear about when they entered the country. He had not paid any specific attention to these in his previous life.
Now that Carrefour has entered, supermarkets such as Wal-Mart and Times are expected to do so soon. In the land of Yisu Province, he has not yet had time to fully roll out, and he will begin to face comprehensive competition. This is very important to his current situation.
There were some conflicts with the plan and he needed to make adjustments.
I am not afraid of competition, but the era of huge profits will be gone forever. Jianhui Supermarket itself is built based on the samples of later large supermarkets, and its services and management are basically copied. The only difference may be the diversification of products.
Dian Jianhui still has some gaps.
Others purchase globally, while Jianhui focuses more on domestic markets, which is really incomparable. However, Jianhui Supermarket also has great advantages, at least in Yisu Province.
First, this is a local enterprise, which has inherent advantages;
Second, the price advantage. Don’t look at those foreign supermarkets that seem to have cheap prices. In fact, they only offer discounts on some products, and more products are not actually cheap. As a person from later generations, I often go to supermarkets.
existence, this is too clear.
Third, because there is no competition in the development of Jianhui Supermarket, the price will be slightly higher than that of Carrefour. However, if a price war really starts, Jianhui will not be afraid of them, and will even
There are certain advantages. At least at the decision-making level, Li Jianren can make adjustments at any time. But they cannot react so quickly. They need to report it at all levels.
Li Jianren took out a pack of soft Chinese cigarettes from the drawer, opened it, threw one to Wu Jiamin, and then lit one for himself. He had never smoked a cigarette in his life, so he took a puff, but felt very uncomfortable.
. He didn’t pinch it off, he just took a few puffs to get used to it and let his brain relax.
Time, still time, there is not much time for him to make plans. Li Jianren picked up the phone and dialed the numbers one by one. He is calling a few core members back for a meeting tomorrow. We will discuss it and see how to speed up the pace. This year
No matter what, we must at least establish a foothold in Yisu Province.
Everyone came back quickly, and early the next morning, everyone was already sitting in the conference room.
This time it was an enlarged meeting. Gao Cheng brought Chen Xi; Song Qian brought Yang Chen; Wu Chengcai brought Yan Yan. Zhang Jiaqiang was the only one, and he didn’t need any direct connections. In comparison, the financial department
, more independent, as long as the boss’s trust is enough.
Li Jianren looked around at the crowd and said, "Everyone, the wolf is coming, and we are about to face challenges."
Everyone was shocked, but they didn't know the specific situation yet, so they waited for the boss to explain later.
Li Jianren is not in the habit of playing riddles. "Brother Jiamin brought me news yesterday. At the end of last year, France's Carrefour opened its first store in the capital of eastern Guangdong Province. The scale is not small, no bigger than our flagship store."
The store is inferior, and may even surpass us in some aspects. Mr. Wu went to check the situation and found that business is booming and some products are cheap."
Everyone began to whisper.
As a veteran, Wu Chengcai spoke first, "Boss, will they also develop in our Yisu Province in the future? Is there a specific time?"
Li Jianren looked at Wu Chengcai and said, "It will be a matter of time for Carrefour to enter Yisu Province. I feel it won't be too late, as early as the second half of this year or as late as next year. As our province is a major economic province, they will definitely give it priority. So I
Then he said, the wolf is coming and we will start to face competition."
Song Qian took over the topic, "We don't have to be afraid of competition. We have been working here for nearly two years, and our brand, popularity, and reputation are all good. We are not afraid of competition."
Li Jianren glanced at Song Qian appreciatively and nodded, "Yes, we have made arrangements in advance and are ahead of the curve in all aspects. If others want to come, they still need preparation time in all aspects. This is also an advantage for us.
"
Gao Cheng raised his hand, "Boss, I think we still need to speed up the deployment of the entire province. The current progress is not enough to completely resist foreign enemies."
Li Jianren nodded, "Yes, we have already won all of Yiyang City; Jinling City is almost the same. It is estimated that in another two or three months, in addition to the self-built flagship store, we can basically win; Gusu City
The same is true for the city. But other cities are still blank.”
"One after another, the newly opened stores have begun to make profits, so in terms of funds, our current turnover is not a problem." Zhang Jiaqiang gave a general outline, without specifically talking about the funding issue. This was not a shareholders' meeting, and he did not need to talk to him.
Everyone reports, as long as the boss knows what's going on.
Li Jianren looked at everyone again, especially the new ones who joined the meeting, "Gao Cheng is right, we need to continue to speed up and include the remaining cities. This requires everyone's concerted efforts."
At this time, Yan Yan was hesitant, but finally stood up proactively, "Boss, I am willing to explore new markets. If the boss trusts me, please assign me tasks. I believe that I can do it."
Li Jianren gestured to Yan Yan to sit down, "The fact that you can participate in today's meeting shows that I trust you all and also bring you tasks."
Everyone had a meal, got ready, and waited for the boss's arrangements.
