In the conference room, you can hear a pin drop.
Every number reported by the dairy company's financial director was like a hammer hitting the hearts of every director present.
The stored value of "HK$108,420,000" was like a mountain of gold, which crushed all the doubts and anger of yesterday.
Newbigin felt dizzy.
He had been in the business world for many years, had seen many ups and downs, and had also experienced the thrilling battle for the acquisition of Hong Kong Land, but he had never seen such a... such an unreasonable, yet such an immediate way of "recovering blood".
How can Lin Tianwang’s “Supermarket War” be a variety show?
It's clearly a money printing machine running at full speed!
Moreover, the milk company uses its own signature Wellcome supermarket to absorb the deposits of target customers. After the money is deposited, it is not like a bank where you have to pay interest and pay it out. This money is what these customers will definitely spend here in the future!
What’s even more amazing is…
Others may not have noticed it, but as Newbigin ran such a huge Jardine Matheson Company, he saw the most crucial point of the problem at a glance.
The fundamental purpose of the membership deposit model is extremely strategic, which is to lock in the future consumption behavior of target users in advance.
Yes!
Wellcome Supermarket used member deposits and within one day, it collected the money of more than 80,000 users.
This means that for a long time in the future, these users will only choose to shop at Wellcome Supermarket because they have saved money at Wellcome Supermarket and are members of Wellcome.
Perhaps even Wellcome Supermarket’s competitors have not yet realized that this membership deposit trick is enough to directly cut off their source of income!
He was in turmoil.
Angry? Of course.
Kobayashi Tenmo's autocratic behavior, especially the ruthless attack in "Focus Interview", caused huge public pressure on Swire Properties and Dairy Farm to cause their stock prices to plummet.
But at this moment, faced with this real cash flow of more than 100 million, as well as the even larger cash reserves and soaring stock prices in the future, the previous anger seemed so pale and powerless at this moment.
In the business world, heroes are ultimately judged by their results.
Kobayashi Tenwang fulfilled his promise of "results within a week" in just four days, and the results far exceeded everyone's imagination.
A hint of bitterness mixed with indescribable shock spread in Newbijian's heart.
He began to re-examine the young man in front of him.
Ruthless? Yes.
Crazy? Maybe.
But this business talent of understanding human nature, igniting trends, and turning decay into magic... made him feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
He found that he might really be old and could not understand the ways of playing in this new era.
The expressions of the other directors were even more interesting.
Several shareholders who had originally stood firmly on Newbigin's side and glared at Kobayashi Tianwang yesterday now had flickering eyes. When they looked at the young figure in the main seat, there was a hint of awe and... eagerness in their eyes.
It absorbed more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars in interest-free liquidity in one day!
What does it mean?
This means that the milk company instantly has sufficient liquidity, not only having enough ammunition to deal with the negative impact of "Focus Interview", to carry out rectification, but even to develop new business!
It can even be said that the entire Wellcome supermarket's operating and business models have been changed.
The stock price of the dairy company started to rebound wildly when the market opened in the morning. In less than two hours after the opening, it had risen by more than 30%.
It is conceivable that as major newspapers continue to report on Asia Television's "Supermarket Wars" and the news that Wellcome Supermarket will earn over 100 million yuan in a day is released, the share prices of Dairy Farm and its major shareholder, Hong Kong Land Group, will soar, or even rise several times in a row.
All of this stems from Kobayashi's seemingly "self-destructive" decision and the subsequent brilliant stroke of "Supermarket Wars".
Some people couldn't help but whisper to each other:
"Over 100 million...in cash..."
"Wellcome's brand has truly been established this time..."
"This stored-value card...is simply a treasure trove!"
"Xiao Linsheng...you are truly a god..."
Lin Huowang was high above, and he could see everyone's reactions clearly.
He was neither proud nor sarcastic in response.
Looking at the directors present, he simply spoke calmly, saying, "Everyone, you've all seen the data. This is just the beginning. The popularity of 'Supermarket Wars' will continue, and Wellcome's stored-value membership system will retain a large number of loyal customers. The brand image of Dairy Farm is being rebuilt in another way."
Scraping the bone to cure the poison is the beginning of a new life. Now, new blood has been injected. Next, how to effectively utilize this capital, how to thoroughly rectify the exposed subsidiaries, and how to rebuild the food safety system, so that "Wellcome" and "Dairy Farm" truly become synonymous with "reliability" is our shared responsibility.
I demand that the audit and third-party investigation teams enter all companies involved this week. I want to see a detailed report on the rectification plan before the board meeting next week. Meeting adjourned.
After saying that, he turned around and left the meeting room without looking at anyone.
Leaving behind a group of directors with mixed emotions, who were somewhat stunned by the huge reality.
Niu Bijian sat in his original position, watching Kobayashi Tianwang's departing back, then looked at the report left by the financial director, and finally, he just sighed long and silently.
He knew that from this moment on, the struggle over the dairy company and the right to speak in the land had completely lost its suspense.
The young man cut himself in the most brutal way, but at the same time, he forged a sharper sword for himself with the most incredible speed and held it firmly in his hand.
The landscape of Hong Kong Swire, and even the entire Hong Kong business community, may really change because of him.
