The Era of Hard Work

Because we met each other in Mu Guangming's sports club and chatted for a while, the two sides were considered to be acquaintances. Lu Dong exchanged greetings with Zhang Tao before leaving in Santana. Zhang Tao and Chu Yuxiang stood in front of the car, but did not leave for a long time. .

Mr. Zhang? Chu Yuxiang asked in a low voice.

Zhang Tao came back to his senses and said, Have you dealt with this Lu Dong before?

Chu Yuxiang said: I talked to him once, and I wanted... well, how should I put it, I wanted him, a local snake, to stay away from Guangmei Electric, but the effect was not good, so he directly refused.

Zhang Tao nodded slightly. It wasn't just Chu Yuxiang. In the report he read after taking office, it seemed that the business department also dealt with Lu's Catering at first, but Lu's Catering all pushed back the hand of friendship extended by Sanlian.

Let's talk in the car. Zhang Tao greeted.

The driver hurried over and opened the door, and drove away from the parking lot in front of Sanlianmen.

Before the car turned out of the parking lot, Zhang Tao looked east through the car window. On the east side of Qiansheng Commercial Building facing Sanlian, the signboard of Guangmei Electric was particularly conspicuous, as if he opened his mouth wide at Sanlian.

Next to the signboard of Guangmei Electric, the signboards of Lu's Malatang, Lu's Hot Pot and Burger King are also eye-catching.

Zhang Tao looked back and said, You are in charge of outreach and public relations, why did you find Lu's Catering at that time?

At that time, Guangmei Electric had just entered the Quannan market, and the first store opened not long ago, so it could only rely on price wars and profit sharing activities to attract customers.

Chu Yuxiang spoke in a slow manner, but she was very organized: This kind of price war is not a long-term solution. Compared with Beijing and northern Hebei, Guangmei has no solid foundation in Taidong, and there is no reliable local partner. Maybe we can find a way to drive them out of the Quannan market.

Zhang Tao took office not long ago, but as the younger brother of the chairman of Sanlian, he knows more or less about this.

Chu Yuxiang kept talking: At that time, many people didn't pay much attention to Lu's Catering, thinking that a small company with only a dozen or so restaurants was still a catering company. What is the use of electrical appliances standing together? So, I went to find Lu Dong and talked to him a lot, but I didn't impress Lu Dong's capital because I didn't get support.

She glanced at Zhang Tao next to her, and continued: Mr. Zhang, the matter has developed to this point, and it is actually very clear that Guangmei Electric has found a suitable ally in Taidong.

The car didn't go far, because there was a car accident at the east gate of Baotu Spring, and the road was blocked.

Zhang Tao looked ahead and asked, Is Lu's Catering so important to the development of Guangmei Electric in Taidong?

Chu Yuxiang said: The higher-ups don't pay much attention to Lu's Catering, but I have been observing their cooperation with Guangmei Electric. Because of Lu Dong's introduction and connection, Guangmei Electric and Ginza Mall have reached a cooperation. Mr. Zhang, this must be You have also seen that, except for Qiansheng Commercial Building, all other stores of Guangmei Electric Appliances in Quannan City are opened together with Ginza Mall. The core business districts of Yanshan, Beiyuan, Bayi, Huayuan and Shengdong.”

These are the regional core business districts of Quannan. Zhang Tao's success is more due to his brother, but he is not a fool: The flow of people and the effect of business agglomeration are very obvious.

Chu Yuxiang continued: But we, Sanlian, can't squeeze into these business circles. Even if there are a few stores nearby, there is still a distance from the core of the business circle. When these three companies gather together, what they bring is OnePlus. One plus one is far greater than the effect of three.

The chairman of Sanlian has been in poor health for more than a year, and he is on long-term sick leave, so he insists on holding on to his position. The replacement of the general manager also brought in his younger brother. Chu Yuxiang understands this, but he can't do anything about personnel affairs, so he has to try his best to win the support of the leaders. .

In addition to Quannan, there are other cities in Taidong. Chu Yuxiang took a breath, and said: Last year, Guangmei, Ginza and Lu's Catering have blossomed in all cities in the province, and the central city has developed the fastest. , because of the assistance of Weiqiao Group, and Weiqiao Group is related to Lu Dong. At present, many stores in the Guangmei Peninsula area are opening, and they are taking the route of attracting investment. Progress is a little slower...

Zhang Tao understood Chu Yuxiang's words: Is Lu Dong single-handedly promoting Guangmei Electric's current situation in Taidong?

Chu Yuxiang knows a lot: It's hard to talk about promotion. The combination of these three companies is to achieve each other. Without Guangmei and Ginza, Lu's Catering would not be in the current situation. Similarly, without Lu Dong's contact and coordination, It was impossible for Guangmei and Ginza to cooperate at first. Of course, the development of Lu Dong's company today is not due to the popularity of these two companies?

Zhang Tao said slowly: I remember Guangmei's plan at the beginning, and only entered the Peninsula market this year. In fact, their speed is much faster than the plan.

Yes. Chu Yuxiang emphasized: The local partner that Guangmei found is very reliable, and it exceeds Guangmei's own expectations.

She straightened her expression and said, Mr. Zhang, Guangmei is grabbing our market share everywhere in the electrical appliance market. We still have some advantages in Quannan, but in the east and west of the province, Guangmei is no worse than us. I always think that, To deal with Guangmei Electric, we must first disintegrate the three alliances of Guangmei, Ginza and Lu's Catering.

Zhang Tao is seriously considering this matter: The three alliances that achieve each other, the focus? The core?

After the face-to-face conversation with Lu Dong, Chu Yuxiang has been paying attention to the cooperation of these three companies, and has many considerations: Guangmei Electric has gained a lot from the cooperation of the three companies, and it is impossible to give up voluntarily. We are directly competing with Guangmei Electric. It is extremely difficult to get Guangmei to give up. The Ginza shopping mall is a breakthrough, but this company is controlled by the Sennan City Commercial Bureau, and we have a grudge with our holding unit...

She finally said the words: Mr. Zhang, the key to the alliance of the three companies lies in Lu Dong! His Lu's catering is the weakest, but he is the middle liaison, coordinating the cooperation between Guangmei and Ginza. If we can get Lu Dong Pulled into the camp of Sanlian Electric, the three alliances will naturally disintegrate, and opportunities will definitely be found during the period to deal a heavy blow to Guangmei Electric.

Zhang Tao hugged his chest with one hand and rested his chin with the other, thinking about Chu Yuxiang's words, but he thought a little too much: Can't Sanlian and Guangmei coexist?

Chu Yuxiang sighed. At this time, the general manager of the company still has such fantasies?

At this moment, I couldn't help complaining in my heart. After Sanlian completed the restructuring, the conservative boss who came up based on seniority finally left, and a younger one came.

After all, the personnel affairs of Sanlian Home Appliances cannot be like that of Guangmei.

Say something serious. Chu Yuxiang is also a veteran of Sanlian: Mr. Zhang, in the battle between Sanlian and Guangmei, Guangmei loses and withdraws from the Quannan and Taidong markets. If we lose, Sanlian...

The words did not go any further, the meaning was already very clear.

Of course Zhang Tao understood, but raised his hand and waved it: You are too serious. Sanlian is not Guangmei. Guangmei only has home appliance business. Sanlian is not only home appliance business, we also have real estate business!

The real estate business he built.

Chu Yuxiang didn't go any further because she didn't understand the real estate market and had never been involved in the real estate business.

But in her eyes, the home appliance business dispute between Sanlian and Guangmei is related to the life and death of Sanlian home appliances. If Sanlian wins, it will not only defeat Guangmei in Taidong, but also rush out of Taidong and truly go to the whole country.

Once Sanlian loses...

Chu Yuxiang looked back at the Sanlian Commercial Building, one of the tallest buildings on Quannan Road, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Because she had studied Guangmei, Guangmei entered a local market and defeated the local electrical appliance company. In the end, she swallowed all the blood, flesh and bones.

Mr. Zhang, Guangmei is Sanlian's most pressing enemy. Chu Yuxiang didn't talk about real estate matters: My personal suggestion is that if you want to defeat Guangmei, you must disintegrate the three alliances of Guangmei, Ginza, and Lu's Catering, and coordinate in the middle. Lu Dong is the key to it!

The words were very sincere, Zhang Tao also listened to it: Tell me specifically what you think.

Chu Yuxiang repeated the old saying: It is best for Lu's Catering to get rid of Guangmei and stand quietly with Sanlian. This will not only disintegrate the alliance of the three...

Zhang Tao suddenly thought of something, but there are Lu's restaurants near Guangmei Electric and Ginza, thus forming a popular business district. Even if Sanlian has a store nearby or opens a new store, it is equivalent to being squeezed out of the business circle...

But Lu's Catering can squeeze Sanlian's stores into the business district, just like Guangmei's first store opened directly opposite to Sanlian's headquarters commercial building, and Sanlian's stores are directly opposite Guangmei Electric!

Chu Yuxiang's words continued: Even if we can't attract Lu's Catering, we'd better find some way to distract Lu Dong and have no time for him. Guangmei only opened a store in other cities. Without the traction of Lu Dong's relationship with the peninsula region, the speed will inevitably slow down.

Zhang Tao also listened to these words. In his understanding, it was nothing more than to win over first, and if they failed to win, they would fight.

Zhang Tao said: How about this, you find a time, meet with Lu Dong as soon as possible, and have a good talk.

Chu Yuxiang frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, Mr. Zhang, I suggest you talk to Lu Dong in person to show the sincerity of our Sanlian...

That's fine. Zhang Tao glanced at his watch and said, Today is too late. I'm going to have dinner with someone tonight and talk about investment in real estate companies.

Chu Yuxiang knew that Zhang Tao was in charge of Sanlian's Sunshine City project, and the project could be said to be a success. Zhang Tao, the general manager of Sanlian, single-handedly pushed Sanlian to establish a real estate company, and attached great importance to the real estate industry.

Relying on her seniority being old enough, Chu Yuxiang still reminded: Mr. Zhang, it's better to be with Lu Dong sooner rather than later.

Zhang Tao responded: Yes.

After the car accident ahead was dealt with, the road was no longer congested, and the car was heading south, Chu Yuxiang didn't say any more.

In her opinion, if Sanlian can handle Lu Dong, and dare not say defeating Guangmei Electric, at least it will not make Sanlian's situation in the home appliance market worse in a short period of time.
