"General Manager Li, Bailian has the most number of stores in Shanghai.
Before the acquisition of AgShang, Bailian had 32 hypermarkets and 19 hypermarkets.
After the acquisition of AgShang, Bailian now has 45 hypermarkets and 45 hypermarkets in Shanghai. Yonghui also has a few hypermarkets in Shanghai.
As of now, Bailian had 62 hypermarkets in Shanghai alone, and 37 of them were in the market.
These did not include convenience stores and community stores. If they were included, there would only be more.
Other than Bailian, we are Far away. Far away has 12 new hypermarkets and 22 hypermarkets in Shanghai.
After the acquisition of Carrefour, Carrefour's business in Shanghai is not low. All of them are hypermarkets, with a total of 21.
Now, we have 30 hypermarkets in Shanghai. As for the other 3 hypermarkets, we transferred them due to overlapping businesses, 22 hypermarkets and excluding convenience stores.
Next is Gaoxin Group, Auchan, and RT-Mart, with a total of 22 hypermarkets.
Trust-Mart, 20 Wal-Mart hypermarkets, 14 Lotus Blossom hypermarkets, 12 Huarun hypermarkets, 4 hypermarkets, and 3 Metro hypermarkets … "
Chen Ying reported all the stores' data in one breath. Clearly, she had done a lot of work and knew all the data by heart.
Li Dong sighed, "In Shanghai alone, there are close to 200 hypermarkets and hundreds of hypermarkets. There are also countless convenience stores and community stores. The competition is more intense than Beijing, and being the CEO here is much harder than Jiangbei. "
Shanghai wasn't a small place, but it wasn't too big either. Compared to provinces like Jiangbei, it couldn't be mentioned in the same breath.
But in such a small place, there were countless hypermarkets, supermarkets, and convenience stores. The competition here was intense, and it wasn't something that the central regions could compare to.
Bailian had also put in a lot of effort in Shanghai. There were a total of 99 supermarkets, and the number of supermarkets was almost over 100.
Hypermarkets and hypermarkets were actually not small supermarkets. According to the current industry standards, what is considered as a hypermarket?
Let's not talk about the type of business and just divide it by area.
A hypermarket of more than 7,000 square meters is called a hypermarket.
Between 1,500 square meters and 7,000 square meters, it was called standard or comprehensive.
Those that were smaller than 1500 square meters were generally referred to as convenience stores.
Of course, each company had different standards. Some companies, even a supermarket of more than a thousand square meters, would be categorized as supermarkets. This was normal.
In the eyes of the public, convenience stores that were smaller than 100 square meters could not be considered convenience stores. Li Dong and the others preferred to call them grocery stores.
Yes, a store with a business area of less than 100 square meters was indeed considered a grocery store. Normally, very few people would bother to count the number of these grocery stores.
In Shanghai, Bailian owns more than 60 hypermarkets with an area of more than 7,000 square meters and more than 30 stores with an area of more than 1,500 square meters.
In the past, many people did not care about this at all. Many people even felt that the Shanghai market was still dominated by foreign shopping malls.
Obviously, their subconscious was wrong.
In Shanghai, the real retail tycoon had always been Bailian, and even the Agriculture, Industry and Commerce was not much weaker than Bailian.
Now that the two of them had joined forces, they were unbelievably strong.
So far, after acquiring Carrefour, Bailian's scale was only half of Bailian's. Unless Gao Xin or Wal-Mart was added, they were not Bailian's match.
As for the other foreign investors, including China Resources, their strength in Shanghai was actually not that strong.
Li Dong also did not care about them. Now that Bailian had integrated the brands and absorbed Agriculture, Industry and Commerce and Yonghui's strength, these foreign investors would not be able to do anything.
Hearing Li Dong's sigh, Chen Lang smiled. "That's for sure. Actually, how should I put it in Beijing? After all, it is not a coastal area, and it's not focused on the economy, but the political center. In terms of the economic environment, Shanghai is more inclusive. Among the four municipalities, Shancheng is now catching up to Beijing. Of course, I'm talking about the department store industry. The competition in Shancheng's department store industry is also getting more intense. Only we have a firm foothold, and with Yonghui unable to raise its head, the other supermarkets slowed down. Otherwise, Shancheng's shopping malls and supermarkets might not be less than Beijing's. "
Li Dong shook his head. While patrolling the branch with everyone, he said, "The competition is so fierce. I'm not too worried that Bailian will attack us at this time. Otherwise, if both sides suffer, it will benefit Wal-Mart and Gao Xin. These two are not weak here. It seems that they also have the intention of opening up the channel from South China to East China. Unfortunately, Bailian took down Yonghui one step ahead. They might attack them in Minnan. In a short period of time, these two probably won't be able to come over. That's good too. Otherwise, we'll fight and benefit these guys. "
Towards Bailian and China Resources, Li Dong generally thought that if they could cooperate, they would cooperate. If they couldn't, then they would fight. But all of this was under the premise that no foreign investors could intervene!
Far away and Su Guo fought in full swing in Sunan.
Why did they dare to do this, and why would they do this?
Because the foreign department stores had already been cleared by them in advance. No matter how fierce the fight was, it had nothing to do with the foreign investors.
Li Dong and Ma Jialiang were both nationalists. Of course, they would not do that kind of internal strife that would benefit others.
In order to resist foreign aggression, one must first pacify the internal affairs. This was not the right time.
Everyone had a premise. First get rid of the foreign investors, then fight. This was not only the consensus of the department store industry.
Of course, some people would abide by this rule. Some people would not abide by it, and you could not blame them.
However, Hua Xia enterprises that could really grow had this consensus.
It was not only because of national pride. It was easier to win the favor of the people of Hua Xia by targeting foreign investors.
Hua Xia had an extremely large market. Before the proportion of your industry in Europe and the United States surpassed Hua Xia, if you dared to abandon the Hua Xia market, you would be courting death.
Even if you surpassed it, if you, a Hua Xia enterprise, abandoned the local market, you would still be courting death.
Therefore, for the sake of the development of the enterprise, the people in charge of the major enterprises had no choice but to adopt the situation of foreign investors first and then internal strife.
Of course, that was under the situation of equal strength.
If you were too weak, you would be killed by others easily, and you can't blame others.
Li Dong said a few words and said, "How's the performance in Shanghai this year?"
Chen Ying hurriedly said, "A few months ago, because of the merger and consolidation, the performance was not too good.
Although the consolidation has not been completed yet, it's almost there.
In October, the monthly sales of a single store in our hypermarkets reached an average of 20 million.
As for the supermarkets, the average monthly sales of a single store also reached 4 million.
Including the convenience stores and community stores, the total monthly sales in Shanghai reached 750 million.
The total annual revenue this year will probably not exceed 10 billion. After all, the performance in the first half of the year was not too good.
If the performance in the next two months can meet the expectations, the revenue in Shanghai this year should reach 8 billion. "
Li Dong smiled and said, "Not bad. It's better than what I expected. When I toured the country, I remembered that I had given tasks to various places. The expectation I gave for Shanghai was not too high. It was 5 billion, right? "
Chen Ying nodded and said, "It was 5 billion. But at that time, some of our stores had not opened, and we were still in the consolidation period, so General Manager Li gave us preferential treatment."
Li Dong lightly smiled and said, "That's not it. It's your contribution. I, Li Dong, have never denied it. The annual revenue exceeded the target by 3 billion, a 160% increase. This is not something anyone can achieve. When you return to the headquarters at the end of the year, you and Qi Yunna should be ranked first and second in the retail group. As for who is stronger, it will depend on your performance. At that time, it's inevitable that you will be rewarded according to your contributions. If you maintain this trend for the next few years, the group might have a few more Vice Presidents in the next three to five years. "
Chen Ying wore a modest face and did not say anything.
Chen Lang, however, chuckled and said, "General Manager Li's words have made my heart itch. I am eyeing this position now. General Manager Li, you cannot favor one and discriminate against the other. You must give me some motivation. "
Li Dong laughed. "Fine. If you say that the total revenue of your stores in 2008 is 100% higher than Bailian, I will give you the Vice President position at the end of the year."
Chen Lang was speechless and smiled embarrassedly.
After Bailian acquired Agribusiness and Yonghui, and with the consolidation of the brands, their performance had increased. This year, the combined revenue of these three companies will exceed 120 billion.
On Distance's side, if it was just the store alone, it would probably be 100 billion yuan.
Chen Ying might have to work hard for a while to reach 110 billion.
As for 120 billion, it will depend on his luck.
Although he had reached a cooperation with China Resources, the focus of the cooperation was still on the shopping mall. The shopping mall's performance was not counted in the retail stores.
The orders placed in the shopping mall are the mall's performance, and it's the same even if they pick up the goods from the stores.
Far away's cooperation with China Resources was mainly to promote the development of O2O, and increasing the sales of the stores was secondary.
Under this situation, Chen Lang did not dare to talk nonsense about the difference of tens of billions.
If he did not complete it, then he would be seen as an empty shot, especially in front of his subordinates.
Seeing that Chen Lang did not dare to agree, Li Dong said sourly, "I say, General Chen, you don't even have the guts now? Weren't you always clamoring to surpass Bailian when you were in China Resources? Far away is not as good as China Resources now? "
Chen Lang smiled bitterly, feeling a little helpless. It was Chen Ying who helped her boss out, "General Manager Li, the situation is different now. If Bailian did not make these moves this year, not to mention General Chen, even I can say with certainty that Bailian is not our opponent. But now, Bailian has integrated its resources, and its strength has skyrocketed. After all, we have just started … "
Li Dong interrupted, "I understand."
After that, Li Dong sighed, "I understand, but if we lose our reputation as the number one retail and department store, it will be a great blow to us. Not only in terms of morale, but also in terms of actual benefits. "
At this time, Bai Su, who had been following them, could not help but say softly, "General Manager Li, General Chen, we won't lose our first place, right?"
Li Dong glanced at her, and Bai Su smiled bitterly, "It's already the fourth quarter.
Now, there are two ways for organizations to calculate the data.
First, in the first year of the merger, the revenue of the acquired company is not included, but the original company's.
Second, only the business performance after the merger is calculated.
In other words, even if Agriculture, Industry and Commerce and Yonghui joined Bailian, even if they use the second method, they will only calculate the fourth quarter's performance.
Far away, actually, we only officially took over Carrefour in July.
According to the rules, it will be counted as Carrefour's performance in the next two quarters.
Based on this calculation, I think we should be able to take first place.
As for Bailian, they might be able to surpass us next year. There is not enough time this year, unless they acquire a few more supermarkets.
It's better to be in the top ten. Otherwise, one or two months of performance won't be enough to affect anything. "
Li Dong raised his brows and coughed lightly, "I know, but we have to be more realistic. The truth is the truth. There is no need to use statistics to speak, that's meaningless. Do you think I care about being the first in name? I don't care about that, what I really care about is the actual situation. "
Chen Lang was also confused, and after a while, he said, "General Manager Li is right, those professional organizations' statistics are different from our industry's statistics. They are for the general public, while our industry's statistics are for the industry. That's why, we have to use our strength to speak, if there are loopholes, even if we get first place, there is no sense of achievement. "
"General Chen is right, Bai Su, you are looking at it too simply." Li Dong agreed.
Both of them were talking, and for a moment, Bai Su was confused.
On the other hand, Chen Ying held back her laughter and did not say anything.
The two of them were probably so busy that they didn't pay attention to this point.
Of course, even she, to be honest, did not really care about this.
It was not that they really did not know, it was just that they would subconsciously think that way, and that caused Li Dong to keep saying that they would lose first place.
It was only when Bai Su mentioned it that they remembered.
But as the chairman of the board, the chairman of a retail group, and the CEO of Shanghai, how could they admit that they remembered wrongly?
Now, everyone was giving each other a way out, and they would talk about it after all of them had left the stage.
Because of Bai Su's interruption, their discussion about first place ended there.
After walking for a while, Chen Lang could not help but tease, "General Manager Li, can I still make a promise now?"
He was naturally referring to what Li Dong had said previously, that his performance had surpassed Bailian and he would be promoted as the Vice CEO.
It was not that he really cared about being a Vice CEO, in fact, there was not much of a difference, but it was rare to see Li Dong at a disadvantage, and Chen Lang could not help but feel happy.
Li Dong ignored him, and said as he walked, "Chen Ying, make some arrangements here, and communicate with Bailian, tell them that I want to go to the headquarters of Bailian for an inspection. Let's see if they agree, if they agree, we can talk about it, if not, find some time in the next two days to go to Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. "
Chen Ying hurriedly nodded. She actually knew that Li Dong was most likely here for the Bailian Alliance.
In this year, Bailian had been acting strangely.
However, it was hard to say if Bailian would agree, after all, Li Dong was their biggest competitor, and it might be easier for the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to get some information.
