"Hello? Steve, this is Feng. I'm going to the Chinese market to do some research for about three months."
Ballmer clutched the phone, speechless. Do you think I don’t know you are going back to China? Also TM market research, do you think we Americans are all stupid!
"Okay, I understand. If you have any work matters, I will send them to your mailbox."
It's the end of December, and Christmas is coming soon. Christmas is the most important holiday in the United States, but Feng Yu doesn't care about it at all. He plans to return to China to celebrate New Year's Day.
The Empire State Building is still very confusing, but Hideki Yokoi’s backhand has been revealed. It is estimated that the Empire State Building will be ready for trading in a month or two. Donald and the two real estate company owners who rented the Empire State Building for a long time have also gone to court. He told Feng Yu that he was guaranteed to win the lawsuit and the lease could be terminated according to some terms in the contract.
Feng Yu will naturally not interfere with these matters. He only needs to wait for the land deed of the Empire State Building to be handed over. Donald has even begun to prepare for the renovation.
Kirilenko happened to be going back to Moscow to deal with things there and prepare the funds to invest in a new software company, and Elena also went back. Feng Yu took a plane and flew back to Xiangjiang.
"Brother Feng, you are back. What, do you like life in the United States?" Li Zekai said after giving Feng Yu a hug.
"Life there is boring, but I'm going there to explore. I plan to open a branch and a new factory in the United States in two years."
Feng Yu's words are not false. He thinks it is a good opportunity to enter the United States in a big way, and it can also radiate to the entire America. AIWA has built factories in the United States, and of course Fengyu Electronics and Fengyu Electrical Appliances can do the same. Especially the sales channels for Fengyu products should be brought back.
It is very dangerous to always let the Fu family sell on behalf of others, and the sales power is completely in the hands of the other party. Once there is a problem with the other party's sales channel, Feng Yu doesn't know how to save it.
Of course, the sales there can still be cooperated with Fujia for the time being, but they must also be separated, and the European, American and Asian channels should be separated.
And after building a factory in the United States, although the labor cost will be higher, it saves costs such as freight and tariffs, so it is not a loss in calculation.
Feng Yu mentioned these matters to Fu Guangzheng, and Fu Guangzheng understood them very well. Anyway, even if there is no sales of these products, he still has shares in these companies, and he can still continue to make money with Feng Yu.
"Brother Feng, have you ever tried a blonde foreign girl over there in the United States?" Li Zekai asked with a slutty look on his face.
Feng Yu glanced sideways at Li Zekai. This guy was indeed as legendary as he liked to try women from all countries. From what Fu Guangzheng said, Li Zekai seems to have had a new girlfriend recently.
However, Fu Guangzheng couldn't say anything about Li Zekai because he was the same. In Fu Guangzheng's words, this is the advantage of having an elder brother above him. His father will be very strict with him, but he is not so lenient with them.
"Brother Feng, why don't you know how to enjoy life? What do you do with so much money?" Li Zekai shook his head. This Feng Yu is completely different from other rich young people.
But after thinking about it, they are both the second generation of rich people, and Feng Yu is the first generation of rich people. Maybe this is the biggest difference.
"My goal is to surpass your father." After Feng Yu said this, Li Zekai fell silent.
I can't cure you, little one! How about you teach me how to enjoy it while still surpassing your father
"By the way, Taihua Supermarket Group has opened several more hypermarkets. There are still some places that are not suitable for hypermarkets. We have opened supermarkets alone." Li Zekai changed the topic.
In fact, he was a little disdainful of Feng Yu's words. Who is his father? Li Chaoren, the richest man in Asia. Feng Yu wants to surpass his father, so just wait. Although Feng Yu's assets have been growing, his father's assets are also growing.
"How many super hypermarkets and independent Taihua supermarkets are there now?" Feng Yu asked.
"There are thirty-six super hypermarkets, fourteen independent supermarkets, and two more will be opened next month."
Feng Yu raised his eyebrows. The expansion speed was faster than he thought. At this rate, in another year or two, there will easily be more than 100 companies.
"Will there be any dividends this year?" Feng Yu turned around and asked.
Li Zekai shook his head: "We have invested all our profits, and we still owe a lot of loans to the bank. Not to mention that there will be no dividends this year, and there will be no dividends next year. Maybe there will be no profit on the books in three to five years."
Feng Yu nodded, he could understand this. This is certainly the case in the early stages of expansion. Especially in order to seize the market, some places where Taihua supermarkets are opened can only maintain capital. The profit is not enough to open a new supermarket, let alone a super hypermarket. If it were not for bank loans, they would either continue to invest in expansion, or they would have to slow down the pace of expansion.
But as long as it survives the initial expansion years, Taihua Supermarket Group will definitely be able to bring them a steady stream of profits in the future, and the amount will definitely surprise them.
"Have Carrefour and Wal-Mart opened supermarkets in the mainland?" Those two companies have much stronger funds. If they also join the supermarket layout in the mainland, the expansion of Taihua Supermarket will undoubtedly be much slower.
"Carrefour has opened one, and Wal-Mart is planning to open one in a few months, and is in the process of preparation. The two of them stole good locations from us, but the prices are much higher than normal, which gives the local government an advantage. "Li Zekai and Fu Guangzheng have been keeping an eye on these two big supermarkets.
"What are we going to do? Let them drive on, or?"
"Of course it's impossible. We plan to encircle and suppress them. If they are in the same city, we will increase promotion efforts and promote national brands. We can also attack their credibility and brand in newspapers. Don't worry, it is definitely not unfounded fabrication. It is definitely These are real events.”
This trick was thought up by Fu Guangwei. His supermarket was surrounded and suppressed in Nanyang in this way. It also caused a lot of losses to several of his supermarkets. If his father hadn't reacted quickly, I'm afraid they would have lost everything. Withdrew from the Nanyang market.
"What about other supermarket companies in the country? Are there any that may pose a threat to us?"
"There is no one! Maybe there are some who are doing well locally, but they are all forced to move to the third and fourth tier cities in the province. Above the second tier cities, no one can compete with us, and no one dares to compete with us!" Li Zekai! said proudly.
Those who dared to compete with Taihua Supermarket in the first place all lost money. Whether it is first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai, or second-tier cities like Jinling and Shenyang, they are all dominated by Taihua Supermarket.
From capital to scale, no domestic company can compare with Taihua Supermarket Group, not even one-tenth of Taihua Supermarket Group. How can it compete with Taihua Supermarket Group
There was a faint smile on Feng Yu's lips. It seemed that the Huaxia Market was dominated by the Taihua Supermarket Group... (To be continued.)
