Chapter 1597 Political sniper war in the economic field

In fact, after entering Yanshi to acquire Jiajia Supermarket, Carrefour Supermarket has been moving forward very heavily. It has the conservative thinking model of the French, the inability to adapt to the overly active and open consumption concepts of Chinese people, and the arrogance that multinational groups think they are superior.

In short, the market share of Feng Xuguang's Jiajia Supermarket dropped sharply in the past three to five years after it was acquired by Carrefour. At the same time, it was the three to five years after the rise of Nanjia Supermarket.

One goes up and the other goes down, and Carrefour's life in Yan City was not easy.

It is precisely because of Carrefour's past lessons that Walmart, which has always been interested in investing in the first supermarket in Yan City, has signed the agreement for three years and has not started construction for a long time, which is not optimistic about the prospects.

If you have to tell the truth, the experience of multinational supermarkets in Yan City - the situation in Yan City may not be of universal significance, but it is not an exception. At least it can explain some of the problems - it is caused by one's own fault and self-result.

How to say it? If we analyze it from an economic perspective alone, all retail stores are levied and urban management troops are dispatched to encircle and suppress scattered stalls. Behind the beauty of the polished beauty, the city seems to be clean and tidy. Well, how some people who rely on stalls survive is not within the scope of discussion for the time being - thus providing huge conveniences for the survival of large supermarkets.

Then, major multinational supermarkets entered various small and medium-sized cities and eroded the final retail market. Because large supermarkets have economists, they can have reasonable tax avoidance methods, and have mastered the voice of the terminal retail market, so the prices of manufacturers can be lowered. Therefore, after entering multinational supermarkets, they will gain price advantages in the early stages.

There is a saying that goes - good times don't last long - yes, after many small and medium-sized stores went bankrupt and were deprived of survival by their own country's taxes and large supermarkets, large supermarkets completely mastered the retail market. Whoever mastered the retail market would have the right to pricing, that is, to the source, to the manufacturer's price, to the terminal, and to increase the sales price.

As a multinational group, after occupying the market, it showed its hideous side. In addition to swallowing up the profits of upstream manufacturers, it also robs profits from the final consumers without hesitation. A vivid metaphor is to ride the manufacturer's neck and slap consumers in the face with the encouragement and permission of national policies.

In other words, foreigners are in a market economy, playing upstream manufacturers and downstream consumers in their hands.

Of course, to put it bluntly, many local governments have also been playing around - but no local government will admit that it is the same as celebrities who have been married for more than ten years and still refuse to admit that getting married is.

Fortunately, Carrefour's strategy in Yan City was quite successful at the beginning, but later it was defeated by the sparrow tactics of Nanjia Supermarket. After several false promotions were exposed, his reputation plummeted and he went downhill.

Nowadays, Carrefour Supermarket lives in Yanshi, which is the New Year of the old lady, and it is worse than a year. However, after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and can barely maintain it and cannot bear it.

In fact, if we follow Xia Xiang’s prediction of the situation, Feng Xuguang sold his shares to Carrefour that year, which was a big mistake, let alone lost his controlling stake? Now we can only watch the prosperous Jiajia Supermarket’s business decline sharply since it was launched on Carrefour’s brand.

But Carrefour did not learn from his mistakes, but continued to be tough, which really responded to the old saying - poor and arrogant.

It doesn't matter if you are poor, but what's important is that Carrefour, whose profits have dropped sharply, does not try to increase its market share and win back consumers. Instead, it has become more and more exploited suppliers and further squeezed out suppliers' profits, which is a bit too shameless.

And everyone is calculating, even a few cents per pound of vegetables, even if it is calculating Xiao Kun.

It would be fine if he had little calculations. Xiao Kun would not easily trouble Xia Xiang because of trivial matters. As a result, Xiao Kun supplied Carrefour with nearly 10 tons of vegetables and 3 tons of high-end fruits for several months, with a total amount of more than 5 million, which cost half a year. When he went to check out, he was told that because of various charging items, such as the National Day of France, French holidays, such as the increase in entry fees, such as the increase in loss rate, etc., in the end, Xiao Kun still owed Carrefour 18,000 yuan.

Xiao Kun has been angry with the ruffians, industrial and commercial taxation, and urban management. He has never been angry with foreigners. He has delivered goods and was burdened with it. He has been busy for half a year, but he has to look for Carrefour for 18,000 yuan. Do you really think he is a big turtle?

Sorry, he didn't have the awareness of being a turtle. Whoever loves to be a turtle, just don't let him be a sucker anyway.

However, Xiao Kun knew that Carrefour was a multinational group and a key protected enterprise of the municipal party committee and government. In addition, he was a foreigner, so he couldn't fight. After thinking about it, he couldn't swallow this anger, so he told Xiao Jia the whole story.

Xiao Jia told Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang was angry when she heard about Xiao Kun’s experience and immediately said that she had decided.

What made Xia Xiang immediately decided to take action was not just that Xiao Kun was bullied a little more fiercely. One important reason was that he had long heard of the chaos in Carrefour's internal management and various bad behaviors in China, and had also personally experienced a false promotion that priced at low prices and high collections.

Another point is that this incident also made Xia Xiang keenly discover an entry point, that is, when family forces are stepping up the layout of various monopoly industries in China, major multinational corporations are also conducting economic penetration in China, and the intensity of their efforts must be wary of it. Otherwise, the economic pricing power and terminal sales market will be completely in the hands of others, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Where is the lifeline of the economy? It is not real estate that can be dozens or tens of billions of dollars, nor is it the longest toll road in the world, but the terminal market and the retail market for the most ordinary people, because the people are the cornerstone of the country, the foundation, and the most basic part of the national economy and people's livelihood.

The Chinese people are very poor. In addition to the fact that wages do not rise, the water and electricity bills rise year by year, it is also called far lower than those abroad. However, the National Development and Reform Commission never mentions that the average national income counts faster than the positive number in the world. A country hovering on the poverty line charges every day compared with developed countries in Europe and the United States. How thick-skinned can you say it.

People's lives are far less beautiful than the data released by the state. You can draw conclusions by just asking people to hold their wallets as soon as the price of grain and vegetables increases.

If the final pricing power is in the hands of others, whether it is agricultural and sideline products, vegetables and fruits, it is the only way for people to take food as the most. If it rises by one cent, it will be a great event and will seriously affect the healthy development of the national economy.

If you don’t believe it, if vegetables increase ten times, meat and egg increase ten times, not to mention that housing prices will drop in response to the news - because no one buys them - all domestic consumer markets, including large-scale consumption such as cars, will be in a blink of an eye!

Among all consumption, eating one is the most basic and necessary consumption. If the cost of eating and daily consumption is too high, the consumption crisis caused will be very harmful.

As the supermarket with the closest contact with residents, it determines the price to a considerable extent.

So at this stage, not only Carrefour has blossomed everywhere in the country, but Wal-Mart is also unwilling to fall behind to capture the city and seize the highest point. Now, the above two multinational groups have more than 200 branches in China!

Xia wanted to know that with his own strength, he could not affect the country's decision-making, nor could he stop foreign capital from expanding and eroding the domestic market, but just like the salt problem, he could seize a point and use his current power and influence to lead the whole, and launch a political sniper battle in the economic field!

Another inconvenient idea is that you don’t need to think about it. Multinational groups are expanding at home so quickly and are in a state of unstoppable momentum in various places, which is bound to be closely related to the support of senior management.

Which force was hiding behind the scenes and acting as a supporter of the multinational group's rampant domestic straits? Xia Xiang is not yet known, but I believe that as he intervenes in the Xiao Kun incident, as long as he takes action, it will inevitably cause a rebound.

Let's wait and see...

If only Xiao Kun had one thing, Xia Xiang might not have set off to Yan City in a hurry. Another thing happened that prompted him to set off immediately and return to Yan City with Cao Shugui from the expressway.

It was a small accident that Xia An’s promotion occurred.

Xia An's promotion journey has been quite smooth. Xia Xiang didn't worry much on the surface, but in fact he has always been concerned about it. At this critical link when Xia An was promoted from the head to the deputy department, something happened, and he would be unreasonable if he didn't come forward.

The main reason is that some people bullied Xia An, who thought Xia An had no backer in Yan Province, so they wanted to squeeze out Xia An's quota. After he learned the news, Xia Xiang was angry, but still laughed. Before he could say anything, Cao Shuyan stopped doing it and said angrily that if Xia could not come forward, she would go back to Yan City to find someone.

Cao Shugui has always cared about Xia Xiang's family and is very aware of the Xia family's wife. Her angry look fell into Xia Xiang's eyes, which made Xia Xiang both funny and moved, because Cao Shugui had never been anxious in front of him because of Cao Shujun's affairs. Now, he is really anxious for Xia An.

As the daughter of the provincial party committee, Cao Yongguo has been an official in Yan City for many years. Cao Shuken also knew some middle-level uncles and uncles in the Yan Provincial Party Committee, but most of them were not the top leader and did not speak very heavily. After all, Xia Xiang had to come forward in person.

When she returned to Yan City, Cao Shugui really left Xia Xiang and went to the provincial party committee. Xia Xiang had known Cao Shugui for more than ten years, but she had never seen her ask for anything. She wanted to stop her, but later she thought it was her friendship, so she would let her go.

Xia Xiang did not go to the provincial party committee, but came to the Yan Municipal Party Committee and met Yu Fanran, the Yan Municipal Party Committee.

When he received a call from Zhou Hongji, he was sitting leisurely with Yu Fanran and drinking tea. As an old friend of many years, he had not seen Yu Fanran for a long time. When he met, he didn't feel unfamiliar.

After drinking tea, talking about gossip, and reminiscing about the old thing, Xia Xiang got to the point: "Yu***, I have something to ask you for help."
