Chapter 928 (1/2)

In the conference room.

Chen Lang looked leisurely and had time to wander around the conference room.

Accompanied by the female assistant does not block, of course, the words are not much.

After turning around, Chen Lang said with a smile to her assistant: ”Ms. Chen, we were still a family 500 years ago.”

The assistant smiles and says, ”Chen always calls me iris.”

”Iris, idealist?” Chen Lang said with a smile

Seeing that the female assistant didn't answer, Chen Lang didn't care. He continued: ”iris, I heard that you graduated from HEC business school, which is the most famous business school in France and the first business school in Europe.

It's hard to imagine that you would choose to stay with Carrefour as an administrative assistant.

Talents like you, no matter which enterprise they go to, will be offered up as treasure.

How about thinking about the distance? ”

Iris is a little stunned. Is it really good to go to other companies to dig people directly?

She has heard of Chen Lang's name, and few people in the retail industry have not heard of it, except for those small enterprises.

Giant enterprises like Carrefour have had a detailed understanding of them when they first came to China.

In her previous impression, Chen Lang was a serious and unsmiling person.

Unexpectedly, this time I met, the man was actually digging her up in the conference room of Carrefour's headquarters in China!

Iris was a little dazed for a while, but soon came to his senses and reluctantly said with a smile, ”thank you for your kindness, but I'm living very well now.”

Chen Lang sighed: ”it's a pity, but it's OK. When Carrefour withdraws from China, you can come to me when you want to change your job, and I'll meet you.”

Chen Lang did not lie. He actually knew Chen Ying.

Otherwise, he would not take the initiative to invite.

Chen Ying had studied in France for many years before. After graduation, she had been working in Carrefour headquarters. At that time, her position was not low.

But sometimes, you're not good enough.

In 2006, Chen Ying suddenly came to work in Huaxia district headquarters from the French headquarters. According to her original position, she could at least hold the post of director general or above, and even the regional president of Huaxia district had no difficulty.

But no one expected that she would eventually become Luo Guowei's assistant.

There are rumors that Carrefour may have rejected foreign executives.

Chen Lang is not very clear about the specific reason, and he has not inquired about it.

However, he thinks that a woman, who can achieve a senior management position in a foreign enterprise, always has the ability.

Especially in the past two years in China, in fact, a lot of times, Carrefour's affairs are handled by Chen Ying.

Luo Guowei is a guy. When he gets off work, he has time to take care of his sister. How can he have so much time to deal with sundries.

They were chatting when Luo Guowei came in.

As soon as he saw Chen Lang, Luo Guowei stretched out his arms and said with a smile, ”Dear Chen, welcome to Carrefour.”

With that, Luo Guowei reached out and hugged Chen Lang, and then he probably wanted to have a warm face to face kiss.

But Chen Lang quietly dodged, women line, men even, especially an old man.

……

Both sides sat down. Luo Guowei did not rush to talk about the matter, and continued to ramble about for a while.

He has been in China for two years, and he has learned a lot.

That is, you can't take the initiative to ask other people's purpose, otherwise it will be looked down upon by others.

In his opinion, Chen Lang was born in a state-owned enterprise. This kind of person is no different from those politicians. This is a tough battle.

Just as he was talking about the topic, Chen Lang had no time to gossip with him. He interrupted with a smile: ”Mr. Luo, can you listen to me?”

Luo Guowei even said, ”yes, of course.”

Chen Lang was not flustered and said, ”what does Mr. Luo think of the current situation?”

Luo Guowei pretended to be stupid and said, ”Chen, what is the situation you are talking about?”

”Far away and Carrefour.”

Luo Guowei said angrily, ”Chen, this is your initiative to start the war!

Carrefour is the first retailer in Europe and the second in the world. You have made a big mistake from afar this time, that is, you should not provoke Carrefour.

Now the headquarters has decided to let the distance pay for their mistakes! ”

Chen Lang laughed and said, ”Mr. Luo, you are bluffing according to our Chinese dialect. In fact, this is not necessary.

I'm here today to help Carrefour out of trouble. ”

”Chen, can you speak more clearly?” Luo Guowei doesn't mind asking.

Although it seems that some ignorance, but sometimes ignorance is the best way to cover up.

Chen Lang nodded his head and said: ”I'm here to talk about cooperation with Carrefour. The outcome of the dispute between Carrefour and afar has been obvious, and we will win from afar.Carrefour, however, is now suffering from internal and external troubles.

If we don't withdraw, Carrefour will only lose all the time. Chinese people are really angry this time. They will not choose to continue shopping in Carrefour.

And evacuation is not that easy.

Under the pressure from afar, few retailers will take over your stores because they dare not.

Mr. Luo, do you think I'm right? ”

Luo Guowei frowned and said, ”Chen, what do you mean? Carrefour will not lose, even in the face of Wal Mart... ”

Chen Lang shook his head slightly and said, ”Mr. Luo, it's different. It's really different.

Yes, even if you encounter Wal Mart in some areas, you will not necessarily fail.

But in China, and distant struggle, the defeat has long been doomed.

The weather, the land, the people and all are in our hands. What does Carrefour take to fight us?

Now almost no business in your stores. In the past, your daily sales were nearly 100 million yuan, but now I'm afraid it's less than one third of the previous one. Am I right?

With a turnover of 30 million, I'm afraid the profit is less than half of your expenses.

The loss is at least 2 million per day, 60 million a month and 700 million a year.

Can you really bear the loss?

What's more, I'm sure that 30 million daily sales will not be maintained, and there will only be less in the future.

Once your store opens, it will lose money one day. Even if you can bear it, can your superior tolerate it?

What's more, your employees are now losing in large quantities. Old employees are all gone. New employees are coming in. They don't have to pay high salaries. They have nothing to do. Can you accept it?

Instead of fighting an impossible war here, I think Carrefour might as well withdraw from China. What do you think? ”

Luo Guowei's face changed slightly. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that Chen Lang was right.

If we go on like this, Carrefour can't afford it.

It's not that they don't have money to lose. The key is that they can make profits in other places. Why should they lose money in China?

But Luo Guowei shook his head and said, ”Chen, I admit that part of what you said is true.

But I know this war won't last.

At most three months, the distance must not go on, even if it can, other supermarkets will not sit idly by.
