Also, what's even more surprising is that this is a membership-only supermarket!
When will the membership system be available in China? Can this company make money?
For this kind of competitor, Wal-Mart has a special department to investigate, because it may be a competitor in the future. Wal-Mart has been dormant for several years, but this year it will start to show its strength.
After a field trip, Wal-Mart staff discovered a cruel reality.
That is, even a retail chain giant like Wal-Mart will have to pay a huge price if it wants to enter East China.
Moreover, even after paying a huge price, it is very unlikely that the company will be able to take the lead in market share.
Because there is already Jiale here, and it has taken the lead!
If membership-based supermarkets pass through the difficult early stages, Wal-Mart has a deep understanding of how terrifying its membership will be when it reaches a large scale.
In North America, Wal-Mart's biggest rival, Costco, isn't this kind of membership supermarket...
Even Wal-Mart itself has the same membership-only supermarket called Sam's Club!
Knorr Supermarket has been cultivating in East China for a year. It has obtained land in prime locations in important cities and built its own stores. Moreover, Knorr Supermarket has a good reputation in East China.
In other words, the number of its members has formed a scale, which makes Wal-Mart how to compete.
…………
After listening to his subordinates report all the situation, Scott fell into deep thought. He was transferred to the mainland by the headquarters this time, and he came with a mission.
The task is to open the mainland market as soon as possible and expand rapidly!
Because after several years of observation and analysis, the headquarters has come to the conclusion that for a long time to come, the mainland's economy will develop by leaps and bounds, and this huge market will soon wake up.
Then, time is running out.
Scott is a capable member of Wal-Mart and is deeply trusted by the Wal-Mart family. Sending him this time represents the attitude of the headquarters.
Moreover, the resources that Scott can mobilize and the right to speak in the headquarters are much higher than the previous president of the mainland region.
Although he took office not long ago, Scott has also learned about the situation in the mainland. The market in this country is huge, but the development is not balanced.
Among the several major regions, the overall economic situation in East China is the best, followed by South China, but South China is actually only a province of Guangdong.
Therefore, whoever wins the East China market wins the mainland, and this market must be won!
But the subordinate's report made him feel that the matter was a bit tricky. He didn't expect that there was already a regional supermarket chain doing so well.
It's hard to beat the opponent...
How to solve this problem?
Scott is also an old hand at expanding the market. After thinking for a while, he made up his mind decisively.
Instructed his assistant: "Contact Knorr, our Wal-Mart wants to buy them!"
This is the behavior style of giant companies. I may not be able to beat you in some fields, but it doesn't matter, I can buy you!
In this way, there will be no opponents.
In fact, in the process of global expansion, Wal-Mart has acquired large and small supermarkets in an unknown number of countries and regions. This is definitely the fastest way to open up the market.
The acquisition of Knorr, a supermarket chain that has already begun to take shape, is of course not a matter of lip service.
After Wal-Mart made up its mind to acquire, it immediately began to comprehensively sort out the information about Jiale, held continuous internal meetings and discussions, first made an acquisition plan, reported it to the headquarters for approval, and got the acquisition budget, and then made a deal with Jiale. Le here to get in touch.
So today, Zhou Mengyi received a business letter from Wal-Mart, asking if there is any intention to sell. The other party's representative team can come to Shanghai for face-to-face communication at any time, and they definitely come with sincerity!
Zhou Mengyi couldn't decide on such a big event, so she called Yu Wenfei.
………………
"Promise them, let them come to meet and talk." Yu Wenfei replied without hesitation for too long.
Jiale Supermarket will sell it sooner or later, because Yuwen Feizhi is not here, and he also knows that after holding it in his hands for more than ten years, the land of Jiale alone may be worth tens of billions!
But what's the point of that.
If you sell the supermarket now, you can also get a lot of money. If you invest the money in your planned industry, the value in more than ten years will not be less than that of land speculation, and it will be more meaningful.
Compared with the China Resources Group that Hu Jinchang said last time, Yu Wenfei wants to sell the supermarket to Wal-Mart. This has nothing to do with patriotism, not moral kidnapping.
The reason is very simple, if sold to Wal-Mart, Jiale can sell them at a good price, and Yu Wenfei can kill them without any scruples!
But if you talk to China Resources, you will have more scruples.
Zhou Mengyi replied to the people at Wal-Mart, inviting them to come to Shanghai to negotiate.
Without hesitation, the people from Wal-Mart immediately organized a negotiating team and rushed to Shanghai.
However, before the two parties formally met and negotiated, things changed again...
Chapter 622 The troubles of happiness
"What did you say? Carrefour also wants to buy our company?"
Zhou Mengyi looked at Ren Zhiwen in front of her in astonishment.
Ren Zhiwen nodded, "My former boss called me and asked me to ask if Jiale Company plans to sell or raise funds. They will give a very sincere price."
It's no wonder that Ren Zhiwen originally came from Carrefour. At that time, he was considered a middle-level and high-level leader in Carrefour, so it was normal for Carrefour to contact Carrefour through him.
Zhou Mengyi's thoughts changed sharply, this is a good thing, the people from Wal-Mart are on their way, and they are about to start negotiations, and now Carrefour has stepped in again.
Since Yu Wenfei intends to sell Jiale, the more buyers the better, because they can bid with each other!
Without hesitation, she said directly, "Actually, I'm just about to tell you that Wal-Mart has sent a negotiating team to negotiate with us about the acquisition of Carrefour. Carrefour may sell it. If Carrefour is interested in participating, Then please send a team over as soon as possible."
Ren Zhiwen was not surprised, he had also vaguely felt Yu Wenfei's attitude towards Jiale early on, and this company was obviously not an industry that Mr. Fei valued.
He nodded calmly, "Okay, I'll notify the other side immediately, and let Carrefour send someone over to negotiate as soon as possible."
From Ren Zhiwen's point of view, he naturally hopes that Jiale can sell to Carrefour, because this is the best result for him.
He himself has held a management position in Carrefour and is very familiar with Carrefour's system. Later, he came to Carrefour and served as the general manager of the supply chain. He has a lot of power and his work performance is quite good.If Carrefour acquires Carrefour, then if Carrefour needs to choose a person in charge of the system, who else can there be besides him!
…………
There is no impenetrable wall in the world, especially for those who are willing.
The news that Jiale Supermarket was going to be sold was soon known by China Resources, after all, they also wanted to acquire Jiale.
