Hong Ji comes quickly and leaves quickly.

As soon as he left, Wang Yuzhang, who had just climbed upstairs, said a little strangely: "Chairman, what was that just now?"

"Hong Ji of China Resources."

"I said it's familiar."

Wang Yuzhang reacted and said curiously: "Mr. Hong is this?"

"Talk about Hong Kelong."

Li Dong said as he stood up and said, "Yuzhang, what do you think about Hong Kelong?"

"Me?" Wang Yuzhang paused for a moment before saying, "I don't think we have to compete with China Resources this time.

We just acquired Carrefour, but the business has not been integrated yet.

At this time, the acquisition of Hong Kelong is due to the fact that the financial pressure is too great, and on the other hand, it is easy to cause waste of resources.

Also, our market share in Ganzhou is not low.

The merger and acquisition of Hong Kelong will not help us as much as we imagined. Instead of acquiring Hong Kelong, it is better to develop ourselves and have a solid foundation."

Li Dong smiled and said, "Yes, I think so too.

China Resources thinks we will get involved, but in fact they underestimate us.

Our business in Ganzhou has surpassed Hongkelong, and it doesn’t make much sense to acquire Hongkelong again.

How much revenue did Hongkelong have in the first half of the year?"

“1.4 billion.”

"Where are us?"

“2.2 billion.”

Li Dong smiled again when he heard this, "Isn't this done? Instead of spending so much money to invest in Hong Kelong, it's better to concentrate on expanding our own business, which will take only one or two years."

The few people walked out while talking.

After leaving the hotel, Li Dong said relaxed: "The performance in Ganzhou Province is good.

The first half of the year was not a golden period for sales, and there was still 2.2 billion in revenue, which is not low.

The goal of 5 billion is not a big problem to achieve this year."

Wang Yuzhang immediately said: "We promise to complete the task!"

"Last year, Ganzhou Province only had more than 3 billion yuan, and the increase is good today. Yuzhang, you are doing very well."

Wang Yuzhang said excitedly: "It is only under the leadership of the chairman that he has the current glory.

After the acquisition of Carrefour this year, our far-reaching sign has become a golden sign.

In Gan Province, people originally only recognized foreign brands and Hongkelong, but now, we are the best in the distance."

"It's done well." Li Dong praised again, and then said unintentionally: "The revenue has increased, and the profits have to increase.

In Ganzhou, there are not many activities, and the expenses such as rent labor are not large.

Your branch should still pay attention to cost issues.

Nowadays, the profits of Yuanfang Supermarkets are generally 8%, and in some areas it reaches 10%.

Although the 7.5% in Ganzhou is not much different, it is still surpassed by others.

Yuzhang, while the performance is improving, these should be avoided as much as possible. Save as possible. Now the group is waiting for the supermarket to transfusion blood."

Wang Yuzhang hurriedly said: "We have noticed this point even if the chairman doesn't say it. Recently, we are carrying out propaganda activities. The whole province of Jiangxi is united as one. While the performance this year increases, our profits will also increase. In the previous stage, it was mainly due to competition.

Our store location is slightly off and the price will increase, and the business will be bad and the performance will be affected.

Fortunately this year, we have more direct sales providers, the costs are reduced, and the profits will definitely be further improved."

"That's good."

Li Dong responded, then went into the driveway: "Go to Bayi Square to take a look. I heard that the business is good there."

Wang Yuzhang did not refuse, of course, there was no refusal.

Everyone got into the car together, and several small cars and a minibus drove towards Bayi Square together.

...

On the way.

Zhou Haidong called.

After the phone call, Zhou Haidong whispered: "Mr. Li, things are a little bit obvious."

"explain."

"It's mainly about supplier issues."

"supplier?"

"Yes, Ganzhou Province is not a supplier to the unified group. Except for Ganzhou Province, this is actually the case in many places.

After all, some manufacturers are too far away from the local area and do not have factories in the local area.

Logistics costs alone are sometimes worth the discounts they give.

Generally, in this case, we will select some suppliers locally to cooperate.

The same is true in Ganzhou Province, and the problem is that some local suppliers and some manufacturers give prices slightly higher than the average price.

Although there are not many highs, the price difference will come out if there are too many goods."

"So, the loophole is here?"

Zhou Haidong thought for a while and said, "It cannot be said that it is entirely because of this. After all, the appropriate price difference is within the scope of the group's permission.

It is actually feasible for the branch to use this right.

However, in general, when there is a price difference, local companies will cancel this supply, and we also have dedicated people to conduct market research and review.

This time, something happened in Ganzhou."

“Continue.”

"The headquarters has also reminded the Ganzhou Province before, but Wang Yuzhang said that these local suppliers are of great origin and cooperation with them will help us open up the local market.

At the beginning, the headquarters also made acquiesce."

"Is that so? I didn't see this from the report, who agreed?"

“Supermarket board.”

"So, I'm wrongly accusing this part of Ganzhou?"

Zhou Haidong hesitated for a moment before whispering: "It's not unfair. I said before that price difference is not the only factor.

In fact, even if this is added, the gap will not be so big.

Last year, in Ganzhou, the gap was still as high as tens of millions after these."

"Where did the money go?"

"I can't find out for the time being."

Li Dong frowned and said coldly: "Ten millions of funds will be gone if you say nothing. You said you can't find out. That's how you do it?"

Zhou Haidong also had a headache and said helplessly: "The accounts in Ganzhou Province are actually quite clear, so we can check them over and over again. Although I feel that there are some problems, the specific ones are not easy to find out."

"Then keep checking!"

"clear."

After hanging up the phone, Li Dong shook his head, he still underestimated these people and overestimated the supervision team at the headquarters.

Even though I knew there was a problem, I couldn't find it out. It's just a joke.

Just as he thought about this, Li Dong's cell phone rang again.

The phone call was called by Yu Bo. When Li Dong heard it, Yu Bo hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, have you come to Jiangxi Province?"

"Um."

"I'm in Ganzhou, too!"

Li Dong said in surprise: "Are you in Ganzhou? Aren't you running into the team?"

Yuanfang Industrial Company only equipped it with full staff not long ago.

In Li Dong's opinion, it will take some time to get in.

Yu Bo immediately said: "I saw that Mr. Li, you are in a hurry. With all the staff, I will pull it out to exercise and talk to some small and medium-sized enterprises in the early stage to let everyone get some running-in.

We will have experience after we negotiate with other companies in the later stage.”

"Practical training, this is feasible."

Li Dong thought this was not bad, so he talked to some small and medium-sized enterprises first. Even if he spent money in vain, it would not be too much.
