Chapter 350, soaring into the sky (please vote for me)
In May 1969, it was early summer in Beijing, and there were cicadas chirping outside the window.
Chen Guohua glanced at the trees outside the window and called for someone to close the window.
In fact, he had the skills of his own and could have opened the window by himself, but Marquis Long Kang and the others wouldn't let him because this place was considered a dangerous place.
Whenever someone is aiming at Chen Guohua from a higher place with a sniper rifle with a long-range high-power scope, once he gets close to the window, it will be very fatal.
Therefore, even a small matter like closing the window is the task of Long Kanghou, Sun Zhusheng, and Xu Yuanqi.
Just after Xu Yuanqi closed the window, Qiu Zongyue walked in from the door.
"Guohua, something big happened."
Seeing Qiu Zongyue coming in with a piece of information with a serious face, Chen Guohua glanced at it and nodded:
"I have said before that the strength of the North American Aerospace Industries Bureau is indeed terrifying, especially in the field of manned spaceflight. There are too many things worth learning from."
This information said one thing, that is, North America launched the Saturn V again, and three astronauts once again achieved a flight around the moon.
Others had already achieved a flight around the moon in December last year. Now, half a year later, there is nothing surprising about flying around the moon again.
But despite this, Qiu Zongyue and a group of leaders were still shocked.
Because everything Chen Guohua said came true one by one.
The North American Aviation Industry Agency is so powerful, how do they do it?
Could it be that their economy is developed and that’s why so many talented people are heading to North America one after another, and that they are the real winners?
Chen Guohua did not give an explanation for Qiu Zongyue's doubts.
It can only be said that there is no need to fight for the length of time.
In the history of the original time and space, North America did have the upper hand and used financial means to successfully dismember the polar bear.
But there is a saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even in Moscow later, it was still a headache for North America.
Moscow's strength has not been reduced much, and the intercontinental missiles are still there.
Therefore, just like the original time and space, you can silently endure and slowly develop your own strength. There is no need to care too much about winning or losing in the moment.
Chen Guohua did not explain, and Qiu Zongyue was too lazy to continue asking, but the space station project has been launched, and everything is very different now from before.
So when will the first rocket be launched to transport the relevant experimental modules and node modules of the space station to space?
Four hundred kilometers away in space is actually not a rare thing, but you must know that any mission to be sent is not that simple.
"Leader, there are no problems now, so everything remains as usual. In January next year, we will launch the first test module rocket. At that time, we will first send the test module into space to prepare for the subsequent space station construction plan."
"Can't it be done in advance?"
"The leader really can't do anything in advance."
Chen Guohua spread his hands helplessly and said:
"The space station project was officially restarted in March this year. It's now May, and it's only been two months since we were fully prepared."
"What can you do in two months?"
"Even until January next year, it will only be ten months. We are not the North American Aerospace Industry Agency. We have a huge talent gap."
The reason why I mentioned this matter again was because of what Yao Shiqiong and Shi Zhiqing mentioned before.
It is well known that there is a huge talent gap.
Therefore, Chen Guohua could only appease Yao Shiqiong and the others before reporting these matters to Qiu Zongyue.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult to solve these problems.
As a result, in less than half a month, Zhenhua Research Institute had more than 30 researchers.
One characteristic of these researchers is that before joining the company, they were cleaning toilets, picking up manure, and feeding cows.
No matter what, after these people return to their normal work rhythm, it can be said to be a win-win situation.
Chen Guohua solved their worries, and they helped Chen Guohua speed up the progress of various projects.
Now that Qiu Zongyue is talking about accelerating the project progress, the key point is the shortage of talents.
The technology of each project is not the problem, the problem is the lack of people.
Different from the moon landing plan, in the space station project, many subdivided projects are high-tech.
The most critical thing is that this space station project also involves the most massive system project: the astronaut center.
As one of the most amazing talents in human history, astronauts are the most critical figures in the grand goal of reaching the moon in the sky.
Therefore, training astronauts has become the most important component of the entire space station project.
The establishment of the entire astronaut center takes the most time.
As we all know, training a pilot already costs as much gold as the pilot's own weight. We can also see how important pilots are to a country from here.
After all, it took us eleven pilots to exchange Qian Xuesen back.
Compared with pilots, astronauts have higher requirements and are more important to the country.
First, in addition to meeting the physical and psychological qualities of pilots in terms of height, weight, vision, etc., astronauts also need to have stronger endurance in special environments, such as being able to withstand higher overloads.
The second is that astronauts have higher requirements for education and work ability, including mastery of scientific and technical knowledge and the ability to solve problems.
The third is that astronauts usually need to be selected from experienced pilots and undergo more rigorous selection and long-term professional training.
The long-term professional training here includes but is not limited to space environment adaptation, space walking, spacecraft operation, etc. The difficulty and complexity of these trainings far exceed pilot training.
This is one of the reasons why Chen Guohua did not agree with Qiu Zongyue's request to speed up the launch mission.
It is not that after the launch missions of the Long March rocket and test module are completed in advance, the manned space project can be smoothly advanced.
no!
After Chen Guohua gave many reasons, Qiu Zongyue approached the former's ear and said softly.
Most of the leaders are now in their 70s or 80s, and their bodies are no longer as young as they used to be. They are already in their twilight years.
The loess has been buried up to the eyes and ears.
Therefore, Qiu Zongyue said this in the hope that Chen Guohua could understand.
Although Chen Guohua knew very well that the leader's body should not be in trouble so soon and could still support it for many more years.
But this time and space is different from the original time and space after all. Maybe the leader's body is better than the original time and space?
Of course, no matter how good your health is, you are still an old man in your seventies or eighties, and various geriatric diseases are unavoidable.
Just like Lao Chen, he is already sixty-eight years old this year, which is very old.
Compared with previous years, the whole person looks older.
Fortunately, Yu Moli is a Chinese medicine practitioner and learned a lot of medical skills, Chinese medicine care, and the most important thing from Professor Ji Wenmei: optimism!
It can be said that among the traditional methods of longevity, or those methods of longevity in later generations, the most important point is actually to maintain an optimistic attitude.
This is very, very important!
Other than that, just exercise appropriately and eat seven to eight percent full.
There is an old saying that disease comes from the mouth and misfortune comes from the mouth. This sentence is not unreasonable.
"Leader, you don't look old." Chen Guohua suddenly looked at Qiu Zongyue and smiled.
The latter immediately glared at Chen Guohua angrily and said:
"I'm not big or small, I'm old or not, don't I know it myself? Do I still need you to tell me?"
In fact, he is already very old. He is younger than Chen Gonglu, but not a few years younger.
If we look at the current retirement age, he should have retired long ago.
But he didn't quit, he wanted to continue working for a few more years.
Most of the old guys who have retired get old almost quickly, and it doesn't take long for various diseases to follow one after another, and then they will die soon.
On the contrary, at work, it may be that life and work have not changed much, so I still look young.
"Okay, leader, I mean, there will definitely be nothing wrong with the leader's health. In my opinion, the leader will definitely live a long life."
When Chen Guohua said this, Qiu Zongyue was immediately speechless, and he couldn't refute, so he was very depressed.
Seeing the leader's expression, Chen Guohua smiled even more happily.
Qiu Zongyue calmed down and talked about other things.
There are two things in total. One is the sales volume of the new products released by China Resources in March this year so far.
As Chen Guohua had guessed before, the new product released in March was not as popular as the Huayue Walkman released in September last year.
The Huayue Walkman was just an accident, not the norm.
On the contrary, Huayue Walkman still performed very strongly in the first half of this year.
Last year, there were already orders of 200 million units, and as of May now, the total order orders have reached 265 million units.
It can be said to be very abnormal.
At present, Majuqiao Industrial Park has delivered 180 million units, and there are still more than billion units left to be delivered.
Even so, with the current monthly output of 20 million units at Majuqiao Industrial Park, it will take about four months to successfully complete delivery.
Of course, in the next four months, the order volume may continue to grow.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, Chen Guohua feels that the Huayue Walkman Factory in Majuqiao Industrial Park can continue to produce, and there is no need to rush to upgrade the industry.
Stock up on supplies so that you can have a big sale at Christmas time.
By that time, Qianduoduo Supermarket, Washington Supermarket, and Costco Supermarket can all join forces to launch a grand promotion event.
Anyway, nowadays in Europe and the United States, Christmas sales are already a shopping carnival.
After Costco Supermarket landed in the British Isles, many white glove companies such as Qianduoduo Supermarket and Washington Supermarket also launched expansion activities in Europe.
Therefore, the Christmas sale event has also been brought to Europe.
Given the current fanatical love for Huayue Walkman in Europe and the United States, the Christmas promotion will definitely further drain the potential of this part of the market.
But Chen Guohua is not worried. After all, the money he gets is the real profit.
Otherwise, no matter how great the market potential is, it will be useless.
China Resources doesn't make much money, but white-glove companies like Qianduoduo Supermarket are beyond their reach and can't provide more help for the time being.
The second thing Qiu Zongyue mentioned was white glove companies such as Qianduoduo Supermarket and Costco Supermarket.
Let’s talk about Costco Supermarket first. Since this supermarket landed in the British Isles in December 1968, it has been out of control in the next six months.
It has opened twelve supermarkets in Europe and eight supermarkets in North America, further expanding its market share in North America.
The increase in supermarket stores means that the earning power has also improved a lot.
But it is obvious that Costco Supermarket also needs to find big capital to help protect Ichigo.
Therefore, after reaching a certain scale, it is impossible to stop or deceive those greedy wolves, tigers and leopards.
Naturally, you need to pay attention when financing. As one of the emerging capitals, Ivy Capital has also successfully become one of the shareholders of Costco Supermarket.
In addition, there are financial companies such as Sequoia Ventures, Northern Lights Investment, and DC Capital, all of which have entered the sight of many capitalists in North America.
These financial companies basically appear on Costco Supermarket's shareholder list. In addition, there are also financial companies from several consortiums such as the California Consortium and the Texas Consortium.
Costco Supermarket has completely emerged, but it still cannot help the mainland immediately and cannot provide more funds.
Only by speeding up store openings and selling more goods can we digest the huge production capacity in the mainland.
The second is Qianduoduo Supermarket. The development momentum of this supermarket has far exceeded that of Costco Supermarket, Washington Supermarket and other companies. It can be said to be soaring.
Since it received US$69 billion in financing a few months ago, all of it has been spent on the acquisition of farms, land, and processing plants. Later, it used the acquired properties to borrow US$40 billion.
All US$40 billion was used for store openings and corporate operating funds, causing Qianduoduo Supermarket to have more than 300 stores in a short period of time, and this rate will continue to increase.
Three hundred stores is an extremely large number, and the daily revenue of Qianduoduo Supermarket is extremely terrifying. Based on this calculation, the number of goods purchased from the mainland every month has increased a lot.
Although these goods all need to go through several processes such as Europe to avoid being traced by others.
But there is still a lot of money to be made in the mainland.
In the past, the average monthly revenue was about 20 billion US dollars, but now it is 26 billion US dollars.
According to this data, at least US$15 billion was taken away by the mainland.
Earn 15 billion US dollars every month, and this is foreign exchange.
Although it is not pure profit, it is just revenue.
But the mainland didn’t pay anything at all.
Calculated based on an average monthly income of 15 billion . dollars, the annual revenue is 180 billion . dollars. Even if 80 billion . dollars is the cost, it still makes 100 billion . dollars.
And this is just Qianduoduo Supermarket, not counting Costco Supermarket, Washington Supermarket and other white glove companies.
Of course, judging from the current situation, there is no problem for Qianduoduo Supermarket to firmly occupy the top spot in North America and even the global retail industry.
In addition, it has acquired so many farms, land, processing plants, etc., it will be even more profitable in the future.
Qianduoduo Supermarket, which is deeply rooted in North America, has become a giant company.
The most important thing is that more than 80% of the shares are still controlled by the mainland, and there is no need to worry about being taken away by large capitals such as the Morgan consortium.
As long as these white-glove companies are not exposed and continue to work hard for decades, they will definitely be the big capital native to North America in the future.
At that time, the mission of Qianduoduo Supermarket truly begins.
North America, Boston area, Qianduoduo Supermarket headquarters.
Today is the first quarter summary meeting of Qianduoduo Supermarket, which is attended by all shareholders and management.
In other words, shareholders like Lannister Morgan are also here.
In fact, the reason why Chen Yuanchao held this so-called meeting was mainly to give Lannister Morgan and other shareholders who had just joined the company a reassurance.
This is very important!
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our Qianduoduo Supermarket's first quarter summary meeting of 1969."
"Actually, this meeting should be held in April, but everyone knows that our management was very busy during that time and had no time to hold this meeting."
It started with a scene talk. Chen Yuanchao exchanged a few polite greetings as a warm-up, and then started to get into the main topic.
Von Delian, Ronald Lawrence and other shareholders nodded. They naturally knew what Qianduoduo Supermarket was doing during that period in April.
After receiving US$69 billion in financing in February, Chen Yuanchao and other management teams were extremely busy.
Then came the acquisition war and store expansion. There are so many things to do, but don’t want too many.
"The past three months have been the most ordinary quarter for our Qianduoduo Supermarket. In addition to January, we also have the advantage of New Year's promotions, which allowed our revenue to remain above the baseline of 20 billion US dollars, reaching billion US dollars. 300 million . dollars. In February, it was only billion . dollars. In March, it was slightly higher, reaching billion . dollars."
In months without promotions, the revenue data varies greatly.
What's more, at that time in February, the number of stores was only 200.
It is only now in May that the number of stores has exceeded 300. In other words, the revenue data at this time will exceed 26 billion US dollars.
Of course, even so, in the three months of the first quarter, total revenue has reached US$ billion, which is a very impressive performance.
After this data came out, big capitalists such as Hobart D'Alessandro, Breckinridge, Lannister Morgan, David Rockefeller, etc. all looked surprised. There are billion . dollars in three months. Based on a net profit rate of 2%, then this is billion . dollars.
On average, it can earn 400 million . dollars in net profit every month, hiss!
This Qianduoduo Supermarket is exploding!
As a result, they soon learned that the profit margin they had just estimated was wrong.
To be precise, the net profit margin in the first quarter was , and the net profit was US$ billion.
As soon as this data came out, all the shareholders present stared with wide eyes.
David Rockefeller couldn't wait to ask:
"why?"
In an instant, everyone looked at him, and David Rockefeller soon realized that his tone was wrong.
After all, he asked so directly, which meant questioning and interrogating, and his tone was very strange.
So he quickly softened his tone and said again:
"I mean, damn, the profit margins are so amazing. I wonder what the hell is going on that makes them so high."
Chen Yuanchao smiled and nodded to Carl Bryan, who immediately explained:
"Everyone, regarding this, we will actually expand on the detailed report that follows."
"However, since David has asked, let's answer everyone's doubts now."
In fact, it is very simple, that is, as farms, land, processing plants, etc. are slowly reorganized by Qianduoduo Supermarket, costs are further reduced.
After Richard Milhouse came to power, he established the policy of using food as a diplomatic weapon.
As a result, the decline in food prices has been further aggravated.
You should know that in the corn purchase contract signed by Qianduoduo Supermarket and Archer Daniels Midland Company, the price was based on the market price at that time and was based on the average price, with a discount of 27%.
Today, the average price of corn per ton in North America is US$22. At a discount of 27% from this price, it is US$.
You know, the year before last, the price of corn per ton was US$30.
So now that the cost has been reduced a lot, the profit margin will definitely increase a lot.
In addition, Qianduoduo Supermarket has also signed contracts with related companies such as Coca-Cola Company and Pepsi-Cola Company.
Qianduoduo Supermarket will only purchase puree from their Happy Feizhai Water Company, and other ingredients and production links will be completed by Qianduoduo Supermarket itself.
To be honest, Happy Feizhai Water Company is certainly not happy.
Because this means that most of the profits have been taken away by Qianduoduo Supermarket.
However, nowadays, Qianduoduo Supermarket is a major customer of Happy Feizhai Water Company. Qianduoduo Supermarket, which controls the terminal consumption channels, of course has a greater say.
What's more, if Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are not willing, Qianduoduo Supermarket will remove all their products from the shelves.
At that time, we will only promote Qianduoduo Supermarket’s self-operated Happy Fat Home Water.
Qianduoduo Supermarket's self-operated Happy Fat Home Water is almost indistinguishable from Coca-Cola and PepsiCo products in terms of taste and other aspects.
In this case, whether it is Coca-Cola or Pepsi-Cola, they cannot afford to offend Qianduoduo Supermarket.
Although Qianduoduo Supermarket was in the past, it could not make much money from Happy Fat Home.
However, since signing the contract, Qianduoduo Supermarket has been able to earn a lot more money.
This is one of the reasons why profit margins are rising.
After all, there is no need to directly purchase the finished Happy Fat House Water. Instead, Qianduoduo Supermarket fills it itself. Even the bottles and other fillings are produced by Qianduoduo Supermarket itself. This part of the money is not given to Happy Fat House. The water company makes money.
It is conceivable that for the sake of profit, Qianduoduo Supermarket has gone to such crazy lengths.
Have no idea.
Qianduoduo Supermarket has acquired related processing plants, and it also has its own Happy Fat Home Water, so why should others take away this part of the profits?
In Qianduoduo Supermarket, there are dozens of Happy Feizhai water brands.
In addition to well-known external brands such as Fanta, Sprite, Coca-Cola, and Pepsi-Cola, Qianduoduo Supermarket's self-operated brands include Coke Zero, Fruit Orange, Ice Dew, etc.
Good guy, you can say that you are targeting the seven inches of Coca-Cola Company.
Coke Zero will compete with Coca-Cola, Fruity Orange will compete with Fanta, and Ice Dew will compete with Sprite.
The most important thing is that the prices of self-operated brands such as Coke Zero, Orange Orange, and Ice Cream are much lower than those of Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola, and the portions after filling are much larger.
For example, at the level of 500 ml, Coke Zero is directly priced at 600 ml, which is 100 ml more than other external brands.
Even so, the cost of supermarket self-operated brands such as Coke Zero, Orange and Ice Dew is still much lower than that of Coca-Cola and PepsiCo.
It can only be said that the puree from these two happy fat house water companies is still very expensive.
In addition, among the manufacturing costs of these Happy Fertilizer Waters, the cheapest one should be corn syrup. It is definitely the cheapest, bar none.
As a sweetener, high fructose corn syrup has low cost and its sweetness is very close to sucrose, so its addition will undoubtedly reduce a lot of costs.
Among Qianduoduo supermarkets, the best-selling products are naturally these fast-moving consumer goods.
Fast-moving consumer goods can be said to be the products with the highest repurchase rate at Qianduoduo Supermarket.
Even many employees of the supermarket itself like these fast-moving consumer goods of Qianduoduo Supermarket very much, because they are really cheap and the taste is not bad.
Under such circumstances, consumers are of course happy to choose Qianduoduo Supermarket for shopping.
The word "cheap" is enough to trump any exaggerated marketing words and methods.
“Then why don’t we all focus on supermarket self-operated brands?”
After reading all the product data, Hobart D'Alessandro couldn't help but ask:
"For example, Coke Zero, as far as I know, is liked by many consumers. I occasionally see people carrying these sodas on the street."
Even Ronald Lawrence couldn't help but echoed:
"Yes, I think our Qianduoduo supermarket should focus on promoting its own self-operated brands. Only in this way can we increase profits."
As capitalists, Lannister Morgan, Hobart D'Alessandro and others are eager to take every penny of profit out of consumers' pockets, so they suggest this.
However, Carl Bryan said with a smile:
"Dennis told us that we are just suppliers of goods, not consumers."
"We just put the products on the shelves. How to choose is the consumer's own business. Whether we can make money or not, we cannot make the choice for the consumer."
"Of course, in fact, we have already made choices for consumers in terms of product pricing."
"Among the weaknesses of human nature, there is always the desire to take advantage of others."
Everyone smiled and nodded when they heard this.
Everyone present is a master of marketing, but in the retail industry, they are still not as good as Chen Yuanchao and other managers.
As the saying goes, there are specializations in the art industry, but it is nothing more than this.
Qianduoduo Supermarket not only specializes in low prices, but also launches a food area that is due soon.
The prices of goods in this area will be ridiculously low.
The products in this area are actually one of the biggest profits for Qianduoduo Supermarket.
why?
Just because although the price of the upcoming goods is low, the profit is definitely very high.
At Qianduoduo Supermarket, there is a team that specifically contacts relevant manufacturers to purchase these expired foods.
Expired food is a product that is extremely troublesome for many manufacturers and should be destroyed.
Such as milk!
There are many milk brands in North America, and they rely on more than 2 billion US dollars in government subsidies every year to survive.
But even so, many farmers still enter this industry every year, specializing in selling milk and making extra money.
For big capitalists like dairy companies, this kind of small farmer is really too much.
But there is nothing we can do against these small farmers.
Things are different now. Qianduoduo Supermarket will take the initiative to contact these milk companies and regularly reprint the production date of some milk that is about to expire or has expired.
As long as the milk is not completely moldy or spoiled, it can be put on the shelves for sale.
These expired foods that are openly put on the shelves will also be strictly controlled and strictly limited in time. There is also a warm reminder to go to the hospital as soon as possible if you feel unwell.
Fake!
Capitalists are like this. For the sake of profit, they will do anything.
Before they are sold, they are just temporary food.
After the product was sold, something went wrong. Qianduoduo Supermarket explained: This has nothing to do with us. We have already reminded consumers.
To die or not?
Damn it!
But consumers have freedom of choice. As a free country, Qianduoduo Supermarket must fully respect their choices.
Therefore, these expired foods are only on expiry date and are also placed in the expired food shelf area. The signs in this area are still very obvious.
As a result, many consumers saw that a three-liter bottle of milk was priced at only ninety-nine cents, which was ridiculously cheap.
As everyone knows, the purchase price of this bottle of milk is only nine cents.
The purchase price of nine cents and the transportation cost were evenly divided to four and a half cents.
From here, we can see how exaggerated the profits of temporary food are.
In addition to the above-mentioned major profits, Qianduoduo Supermarket will also hit hard in the next plan.
Plan out a dining area within the supermarket.
This dining area will not be very large, but it will certainly allow consumers to eat in the dining area after purchasing food.
Especially for some supermarkets opened in the city center, there must be many white-collar workers and other wage earners nearby, who have to go to nearby KFC, McDonald's and other fast food restaurants to eat.
Rather than letting them earn this part of the profits, it would be better for Qianduoduo Supermarket to earn this part of the profits.
Hearing the new plan announced by Chen Yuanchao, Lannister Morgan and other capitalists were all amazed.
Good guy, this Qianduoduo Supermarket not only wants to make retail money, but also wants to compete with fast food restaurants for business.
The most important thing is that Qianduoduo Supermarket can still win.
why?
Just because the food in Qianduoduo supermarket is already very cheap, not to mention now that fast food is introduced.
According to Chen Yuanchao, after the dining area is planned, the food area in the supermarket will have an additional time point for selling fast food for lunch and dinner.
The fast food sold includes Chinese fast food, Western fast food such as hamburgers, pizza and pasta, as well as some ready-to-eat fast food such as fried chicken.
There is even the recommended instant noodles.
Instant noodles have already appeared as early as 1958, and can be seen in many markets such as Tokyo, Hong Kong Island, and North America.
Although it is not a mainstream product, Qianduoduo Supermarket will definitely promote these items.
Otherwise, why would Qianduoduo Supermarket acquire so many farms, land and processing plants?
With so much wheat grown on the farm, it must be processed into instant noodles and other products. Only in this way can we make more profits.
Compared with fast food, instant noodles are cheaper and suitable for those who are short of money.
No matter what, the prices of goods are cheap, but the most profitable one is Qianduoduo Supermarket.
At this point in the meeting, Lannister Morgan, von der Leyen, Brenda Mellon, David Rockefeller, Ronald Lawrence, Clive, Hobart Dallessandro, Gonzalez, Brackenley Qi and other shareholders were all satisfied.
Even Richard Milhouse, who participated in the meeting remotely by phone, smiled.
Although Richard Milhouse didn't say a word during the entire meeting, he listened to the entire meeting very patiently.
The future of Qianduoduo Supermarket is really limitless.
Just because all the money-making ideas appear in Qianduoduo Supermarket.
And these ideas are all aimed at the poor, ordinary people, and the lower-middle class, and North America has the most shortage of these people.
It can almost be said that Qianduoduo Supermarket caught all these people in one fell swoop and made most of their money.
In addition, now, the number of Qianduoduo Supermarket stores has exceeded 300.
This order of magnitude is almost a ceiling in North America.
Of course, judging from the history of the original time and space, there are more than 4,000 Wal-Mart supermarket stores, so Qianduoduo Supermarket can definitely do this.
Naturally, Qianduoduo Supermarket still has a long way to go.
However, there are said to be more than 4,000 Wal-Mart supermarkets in later generations, but in fact, many of them are small supermarkets, fresh food supermarkets, etc., unlike the current Qianduoduo supermarkets, which are almost all medium and large shopping malls with an area of more than 3,000 square meters. overtake.
Therefore, in the future, Qianduoduo Supermarket will definitely need to develop in the direction of neighborhood supermarkets, fresh food supermarkets, etc.
In addition, after the rise of the Internet, online stores can also quickly keep up.
After a meeting, many shareholders were very excited. Just after Chen Yuanchao finished his speech, Clive of the McCormick family couldn't help but ask:
"Dennis, I wonder if you think Qianduoduo supermarket is short of money now? I think Qianduoduo supermarket is short of money now. There are two reasons. On the one hand, Qianduoduo supermarket needs to go overseas. There are currently eight supermarkets in Europe. We will definitely need more money to expand our market share in the future.”
"The market waits for no one. As far as I know, companies such as Costco Supermarket, Washington Supermarket, Target Supermarket, K Supermarket, and Woolworths have already set up operations overseas."
"The current capital volume of Qianduoduo Supermarket is definitely not enough to support more store expansion, so I think continued financing is the most appropriate choice."
"On the other hand, Qianduoduo Supermarket's revenue and profits are currently No. 1 in North America, but Dennis, don't forget, we also have a competitor, Wal-Mart Supermarket."
"The development momentum of Wal-Mart supermarkets is not bad. I even heard that they will start the financing process in the next few months. When they have money, they will definitely continue to open more stores."
To sum it up in one sentence, although Qianduoduo Supermarket is very powerful and is currently the leader in the retail industry, there are wolves in front of it and tigers in the back, and the competitive pressure is still great.
Although Qianduoduo Supermarket has burned nearly 100 billion US dollars in the past few months, it has been very generous.
However, if you don't keep up in time, I'm afraid that this momentum will soon be caught up by others.
Clive's words immediately made Lannister Morgan's eyes light up, and they all immediately agreed with the former's words.
Carl Bryan and other management did not say anything, because this has already involved the interests of all shareholders, and they, the management, are only small shareholders, so they should just wait and see what happens.
Besides, they are only small shareholders, so even if they have opinions, it doesn't matter.
When Chen Yuanchao heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said:
"Clive, your suggestion is still very good, but the major shareholders are here, why don't you ask them for their opinions?"
"As for my opinion? Haha, it doesn't really matter."
Today's meeting was naturally attended by a delegation of shareholders. Therefore, after hearing Chen Yuanchao's words, Capaldi suddenly spoke.
"It's not urgent. I think we need to wait a little longer."
Capaldi is one of the shareholders of Qianduoduo Supermarket, one of the white gloves hired by China Resources, and he is absolutely reliable.
Of course, Capaldi has no decision-making power, and even more often acts with Chen Yuanchao.
At this moment, Feng Delian suddenly said:
"Dennis, are you free later? I would like to treat you to a meal."
When Chen Yuanchao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded in agreement.
He has already guessed some of the thoughts of these big capitalists. It is useless to refuse. It is better to meet them in person.
(End of this chapter)
