Chapter 878 (1/2)
After the Spring Festival, the Spring Festival is not far away.
The heavy snow lasting for more than 20 days is coming to an end.
However, even if the snow stopped, the subsequent effects did not dissipate so quickly.
The accumulation of snow mountain is not so easy to handle.
Of course, as long as the snow stops, everything is fine.
The Jiangbei provincial government has started the post disaster relief work to help the disaster areas to resume normal life, so that everyone can have a good year.
All major groups have also reached out to help.
On February 1, Yuanyuan group took the lead in donating 5 million cash to support post disaster reconstruction.
In addition, among the few materials in the remote area, we took out 5 million worth of daily necessities such as quilts, down jackets, tents and so on, and went to the areas with severe snow disaster for support.
In such a big China, there are many disaster stricken areas, and the amount of 5 million materials can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.
At this time, however, giving is even more important than money.
Everywhere is a praise, distant harvest is not small.
……
February 1st.
Li Dong held a high-level meeting to summarize the gains and losses of the heavy snow.
Sun Tao was the first to speak and summarize the work of the supermarket.
”This heavy snow, our market share in East China has been further improved.
The success of the war in East China, not only in our province, but also in Eastern Hubei.
Before the heavy snow, our market share in East China was about 14%. Up to now, although we haven't made a complete statistics, our market share can reach 20% on the whole.
As for Huarun, its market share in East China was slightly higher than ours, about 16%.
This time, the loss of Huarun is not big, and the rise and fall should not be obvious.
It's mainly other supermarket chains, which have been hit hard this time.
In particular, Carrefour, RT mart and Tesco, because many people boycotted them at that time. Later, the business of these supermarkets plummeted due to our Internet connection.
We haven't made statistics on the specific market share for the time being. I'm afraid we can only have a rough estimate when their statements come out. ”
Li Dong all nodded slightly and seemed very satisfied.
Apart from other places, at least at present, East China has finally surpassed Huarun for the first time.
20% of the market share, seemingly small, is actually amazing.
You know, far away, but won Jiangbei and Sunan almost more than half of the market, so only about 20%.
It's not that others are better than them. It's just that Huaxia is too big and East China is too big. It's unrealistic for a supermarket to occupy too much market share.
Some local supermarkets may be small in scale, but they can win in large quantities. In many places, such as rural areas, towns and small counties, these large supermarkets in the distance have not gone deep, and all of them are local supermarkets occupying the market.
In the distance, these large groups mainly divide up the urban market above the scale.
Even if this 20% is actually a lot of water, after all, it is only a group in the distance, and the statistics will not be so accurate. I'm afraid some places have not made statistics.
However, in any case, surpassing Huarun should be for sure.
Whether it is temporary or follow-up will always be like this, at least far away this time win.
Less than four years after its establishment, it was the first time in a large area that the distance has defeated a chain supermarket which was once the first in China.
After Sun Tao finished, Li Dong said with emotion: ”I remember when I went to southern Jiangsu to sign a contract in 2006 when I was blocked by the media.
At that time, media reporters told me that they said Wumart and Bailian were not optimistic about the distance, and felt that the era of distant M & A was bringing the era and distance to an end.
A reporter asked me, pressure is not big, have confidence, how to look at the analysis of these old giants.
What did I say? ”
Sun Tao knows the most about it. He was the one who presided over the acquisition. When Li Dong spoke, he was there.
Recalling this, Sun Tao said with a smile: ”at that time, you said that it was certain that the distance was better than Wumei. As for Bailian, you were not afraid of them to pull it out alone.
The reporter also asked you if you wanted to fight against Bailian and Huarun in order to compete for the East China market. He said that we have only been established for two years, and we are certainly not rivals.
Anyway, that's probably what I mean. I remember I was scared.
At that time, Bailian and Huayun were Big Macs in our eyes. I thought we could not offend them.
Even if I want to come to Zhuolu Central Plains, I dare not say it.
This is less than two years of time, who would have thought that at this moment, we have exceeded the hundred companies, beyond the Huarun.
Even if it's just now, just in East China, all this shows that we are not inferior to these giant enterprises.
When I looked at my opponent, I found that it was nothing more than that. It's really fate. ”Li Dong and Sun Tao have this feeling.
At that time, it was really difficult. In the era of acquisition, there was no money far away.
Sun Tao put forward the plan, and Li Dong also said that he was crazy.
The times are bigger than those far away. Li Dong didn't dare to think about it at that time.
Finally, the distance won, after annexing the era, it was out of control.
At that time, when the reporter asked, Li Dong was also worried. People asked him who Huarun and Bailian were fierce and who was his biggest opponent.
Li Dong was afraid of offending the two families. He was cruel, but his tone was half joking. He didn't even dare to say anything too cruel.
Now, however, the Big Mac, once regarded as a myth, seems to be nothing.
In East China, distance is the king!
All this took two years, to be exact, from the day of the acquisition, it has been only one and a half years.
Thinking of these, Li Dong looked at Sun Tao and said, ”thanks to brother sun for all this today.”
Li Dong seldom calls Sun Tao sun elder brother in formal occasions. Today, Sun Tao hears the words and says, ”it's all the efforts of Li Zong, not my credit.”
Li Dong shook his head and said, ”I don't deny the credit, but you are the greatest contributor to the supermarket in the distance.
In fact, there are two great turning points in the distant supermarket. These two turning points are sun Ge. You can overcome all opinions and finally have the present distant supermarket.
When Dongping store opened in 2004, what I thought at that time was that one store was enough, mainly for my parents.
I didn't want to be a supermarket at that time. That's what I said.
At that time, I had a single mind to drill to Pingchuan, and wanted to show my hands and feet in Pingchuan.
I think, do real estate, do the Internet, open Internet cafes, really, think about everything, but did not want to make the supermarket bigger.
It's you who told me that we can expand after opening Dongping store for a month!
It expanded to the whole Qingyang area. At that time, I was really scared and thought you were crazy.
We have only a few money in hand. In the first month of operation, we didn't make much money. It was not enough to open another store.
But you said that if you want to open it, you have to open it. There are five stores in the whole Qingyang area.
It is also because of these five stores, let me taste the sweet, and then we have the present Longhua store and the distant supermarket company.
This is the first turning point. It can be said that if it is not this time, there will be no future.
It was you who convinced me, and it was you who held up the whole distance at that time. ”
It was the first time anyone else had heard of it, and none of them had thought it would be like this.
At that time, only three people knew about it, Li Dong, Sun Tao and Yang Yun.
They always thought that Li Dong was the initiator of the far-off expansion. They didn't expect that Li Dong was actually a conservative and Sun Tao was a radical.
We are very interested in the experience of big boss.
After talking about the first turning point, everyone looked at Li Dong and expected him to say the second.
