The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Although later generations have published various articles on the Internet that the moon is still a foreign country, as well as all kinds of xenophobia. But in fact most Chinese are still patriotic, otherwise China would not be able to develop so quickly.

However, the national brand card has been stigmatized by many companies in later generations. Some companies use the guise of a family business to harvest all kinds of patriotic feelings from consumers. As a result, the whole family immigrated or the company was just a shell of a national enterprise. In fact, many of the shares were in the hands of some foreign companies.

This kind of thing was exposed once or twice, and the masses chose to forgive, but they kept being exposed. After the national enterprises that I trusted and supported became outright foreign enterprises. The righteous family business that was originally a good family business has been turned into garbage in a stinky ditch and ignored.

Therefore, Zhang Tianming is very supportive of Zhang Tianming's proposal to divide the nominally Millennium shares belonging to Hong Kong investment, hold a press conference to publicize the acquisition, and use Millennium Supermarket to completely belong to a local company to fire the first shot. of.

Therefore, this matter was left to Zhang Tianming to handle with full authority, but he couldn't do it recklessly. So before announcing the card of a large national enterprise, Yang Dongxu found several well-known lawyers in China to study all the rules and regulations of the law so as not to step on the line.

So not long after the National Day, the major media and newspapers across the country detonated the whole country and aroused social concern. Great discussion.

The first one to stand up and support was Dongxu Technology. Although this was inspired by Yang Dongxu, it was not entirely his inspiration. Because as a high-tech star industry in China, Tunghsu Technology has suffered a lot of grievances secretly despite its superficial glory.

For example, in terms of computer product hardware, Tunghsu Technology's hard disk technology is the world's number one, graphics cards and memory sticks are also among the best in the world, and mobile phone chip technology is also the world's number seven. Needless to say, software technology, system software can't do as well as Microsoft, I think it can't do as well as IBM, but which aspect of application software is worse than others?

There are such high-quality and preferential hardware and software for domestic companies to choose from, but many companies and some departments choose foreign companies. Why do they choose?

If it's really good for others, it's fine to use it. But your own is obviously better than others, why do you have to spend more money to choose to import? Is it because of the low self-esteem in your bones that you feel that choosing a foreign brand has face? All kinds of image projects to make political achievements look good because the economy is in command?

Tunghsu Technology was the first to stand up and detonate many real hammer incidents, which ushered in the first climax of this social discussion. Later, domestic enterprises, such as Gome, Suning, and some state-owned enterprises in heavy industry, stood up and expressed their support, pushing this big discussion to its peak.

All the major media, newspapers, and even the evening news became lively for a while. All kinds of experts and entrepreneurs stood up to speak one after another, and a debate that attracted the attention of foreign media started.

Among all the controversial articles, an article signed by Dr. Chen caused quite a stir. The content of the article criticizes that some people are fanning the flames and destroying the good situation of reform and opening up. The purpose of introducing foreign capital into the country is to better develop itself, and we cannot return to the era of closed doors behind closed doors. History has given a painful lesson.

In this article, countless people have stood up and scolded the traitor for changing the concept, and some people even fleshed out his position and personal information. Wearing the appearance of a university faculty member, he has already immigrated and is currently an expert consultant for a foreign company.

Pete Hong, head of Carrefour's Asia-Pacific region, frowned and sat in the conference room. Under him sat all the executives currently in the Asia-Pacific region. At this time, the entire meeting room was silent, and the high-spirited and high-spirited people in charge of the area they were in charge of all lowered their heads at this moment, acting like elementary school students who were afraid of being called out to speak.

They really didn't expect that the originally good situation would completely turn into a disadvantage in less than a week. The performance of supermarkets operating in China has continued to decline, and some employees even chose to leave because they could not bear the pressure of public opinion and the eyes of their neighbors and relatives, and became employees of competitors.

"What do our partners say?" Pete asked.

When entering the market, it was resisted by local companies and even blocked by local government policies. This is a very normal thing. After all, each country must have certain protection measures for its own enterprises.

This is also the reason why many international companies will choose some capable partners in their own country when they enter the market of other countries. This cooperation is not just a joint venture to build a factory, but to use the local network resources of the joint venture partner to open up the local sales of the joint venture's products, and when something happens, someone will stand up and speak for themselves.

Otherwise, when so many congressmen, governors, and mayors in the United States are running for election, why do local companies provide political donations to help the election? Not because of the need for a spokesperson on the government side.

"There is no good solution for the time being. Millennium Supermarket is not just a local company in a certain city or province in China, but a retail giant in the entire country of China. His boss also has a background behind him, so the partner I can't come up with a good solution for a while."

"What about uniting with some foreign capital to exert political pressure?" Pete asked, frowning.

"The effect may not be very good." The assistant took a look at his boss and continued to say: "At present, all companies that enter China are making a lot of money, let alone whether they will take the risk of losing profits to cooperate with us .

We can't get around it just because the other party asks for only fair competitive treatment. And the other party seems to have extensive connections not only domestically, but also internationally.

Forget about Russia at present, but the newspapers in South Korea, Japan, the United States, and even some countries in Europe, our base camp, report content that is not very beneficial to us. "

This is not very beneficial. It does not mean that these media are on the side of Millennium Supermarket to discredit Carrefour. If it is really to discredit their public relations power and personal connections as the world's second largest retail industry, it is not covered.

But people don't discredit you, just reporting the truth is very detrimental to Carrefour. Because in recent years, foreign capital has grasped the heart of the Chinese government's eagerness to develop its own economy, eating more and taking more, and I don't know how much benefit it has gained by changing methods.

If you lag behind, you will be beaten. There is no way for anyone to ask for help from others, so if it is necessary to cut the meat, they will cut it. But this time the Millennium Supermarket is different, they don't need to beg you. You put on the attitude of an uncle, even if the partner desperately helps to clean the floor for his own benefit, it really can't be cleaned.

"What about head-to-head competition?" Pete rubbed his forehead.

"According to the current survey data, Millennium Supermarket has strong capital and a very solid foundation without non-performing assets, and the corporate debt ratio is less than 10%.

And while we have all the advantages of local companies, we don't have much advantage in operation and management. If shareholders agree to a proposal to lose money for the next two to three quarters. We might be able to drag it down.

But the premise is that it will not have new capital injections, given the high quality of Millennium Supermarket's current assets. As well as the current reputation and reputation in the Chinese market, it is not very difficult to find a bank loan or find a partner. "

"That means we can't do anything with this muddy leg, right?" Pete's forehead was throbbing with veins.

As the person in charge of the Asia-Pacific region, he seemed to be relatively backward in the Chinese market when he entered the market, but at this moment he suddenly felt that he was struggling when he entered Korea and Japan.

This is undoubtedly a blow to his confidence, especially when everything went smoothly before the siege of the city, and he was about to become the king and hegemony, but he was slapped by someone in the end. This kind of psychological gap is almost tormented He was going crazy.

"Steady expansion, taking advantage of our own company's advantages in the international market, taking the boutique route, opening flagship stores in big cities like Wal-Mart, there is no problem in stabilizing our foothold.

We have enough advantages in this respect, but we want to squeeze the national market of Millennium Supermarket, and even defeat each other. The current risk assessment rate is too high, and the probability of failure has reached 83.65%. "

"The winning percentage is less than 20%?" Pete felt the anger in his heart, and he was about to burn his internal organs.

"They are now carrying the banner of a national enterprise, and they are well-prepared. They are 100% local enterprises. They have a complete supply chain and logistics transportation system. There are almost no flaws and it is almost impossible to defeat them in one fell swoop."

Pete gritted his teeth, and then knocked on the conference table, making those heads of districts who looked like schoolchildren who were afraid of answering questions look up.

"Stabilize the current situation in the Chinese market. And mobilize the rest of your media resources to guide the public opinion first. Even if you can't take advantage of it temporarily, you must not let it affect the stock price." Pete ordered.

Although he really wanted to tear up the Millennium Supermarket that suddenly slapped him, the basic quality of a professional manager told him that he must remain calm at this time and put the interests of the company first.

And the first point of the company's interests is the company's stock price. Carrefour has just merged and became the world's second largest retailer not long ago. It is absolutely impossible for everyone to be optimistic about itself, because it is blocked by competitors and the company's stock price is affected.

Otherwise, the weakness of the company, which is currently digesting the results of mergers and acquisitions and aggressively attacking the Huaxia market, which makes the company's capital chain short, will be magnified several times in an instant. At that time, let alone dominating the Huaxia market, the headquarters may be shaken because of the problem of the capital chain. This must be avoided, or resolutely put an end to it.

When Carrefour executives were having a meeting, Yang Dongxu was also having a meeting. But what he held was a symposium, not a company meeting. After lighting a fire, the whole country was set on fire, and it was only normal for him to be invited to drink tea by relevant leaders.

But this time, the higher authorities obviously attach great importance to the development of national enterprises, so he is not the only person in charge of the company invited to drink tea and talk, but all the heads of famous and well-known local enterprises with good development potential across the country have been invited. And the leader responsible for holding this symposium is the boss of the Ministry of Commerce with high standards.
