Chapter 547 Export Earnings
On September 10th, the Guangzhou Supermarket opened.
Taking advantage of Teacher's Day, the shopping mall launched promotional advertisements, invited actors and singers to perform, and held lucky draws and other activities.
Teachers and their families will receive a gift when they make a purchase.
It just so happens that Teacher's Day falls on a Saturday, and the following Sunday, the supermarket is packed with customers.
Thanks to everyone's experience and thorough preparation, no unexpected incidents occurred during the opening period due to the peak customer flow.
Yangcheng Shopping Mall opened on September 10th, and Shanghai Shopping Mall opened on October 1st.
The National Day holiday in October happened to fall on a Saturday, so everyone had a day off. Supermarkets in Shanghai were packed for three consecutive days as customers went on a shopping spree.
Even though the merchants who had moved in were prepared, they were still surprised by the number of customers. Who says Chinese people don't have money? Their purchasing power is amazing!
The success of the three superstores in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou has drawn attention to the purchasing power of the Chinese people, and many domestic and foreign capital have followed suit.
Fortunately, Sheng Xiping and his team had powerful connections. When the project contract was signed, there was a stipulation that no similar projects could be approved or initiated in the local area within one year of the supermarket's opening.
In this way, even if others are envious, they will have to wait a year before they can start construction. By the time they finish building the mall, this place will have already established a firm foothold.
Some of the company's original projects have stagnated, the customer base is fixed, and competition for customers in China is fierce, resulting in a year-on-year decrease in profits.
Not only that, the merchants who move into the mall have also signed similar contracts, which stipulate that once they move into this mall, they cannot move into other malls in the same area.
Currently, domestic products are not competitive enough, and most products exported to Europe and the United States do not have high profit margins. Therefore, they want to change their approach and try trading with Eastern European countries.
After Sheng Xiping took over, he didn't make any major adjustments. He simply transferred a group of people from Northeast China and Dancheng to be in charge of the management of the new factory.
The sale of goods here was handled by Liu Yuhe and others, while Sheng Xiping went to Caocheng to discuss investment cooperation there.
But thinking about it later, with such a large company and so many employees to support, it's no wonder Wu Yucheng was anxious.
To achieve long-term development and enhance competitiveness, there are still many areas where we need to work hard.
Wu Yucheng and Sheng Yunfei were stationed at the Shenzhen headquarters, where they took over the original business and were responsible for the construction and investment promotion of shopping malls in various locations.
Just as things were set up here, our Japanese clients started sending staff over to inspect the factory's production and other aspects, and then signed long-term supply contracts.
Subsequently, the other party will send someone over to sign a formal supply contract.
All three shopping malls that have opened are doing brisk business, and projects in several other provincial capitals have also been launched one after another, with expected to open next winter.
Having operated for many years, Tengyue Company now has no shortage of sales channels. Before the goods even arrive, they are basically pre-ordered by customers from all over the country.
Shopping venues like these compete not only on the variety of goods and the discounts, but also on the quality of service.
When Sheng Xiping was inspecting Caocheng before, he noticed that there was a fairly large wood products processing factory in the area that was currently shut down.
Next, Sheng Xiping was mainly responsible for trade with Russia, as well as furniture factories, etc.
Sheng Xiwu was appointed as the factory director of the new factory, Yu Haibin's younger brother Yu Haiyang was appointed as the deputy factory director, and the original factory director of the processing plant was demoted to deputy factory director.
Liu Yuhe and others were mainly responsible for trade in Eastern Europe. If conditions allowed, they could try to expand trade to other regions, such as the Middle East.
Liu Yuhe and Chen Weiguo led a group of people to barter for various daily necessities and light industrial products, exchanging them for a considerable amount of goods from Eastern European countries.
Bartering has low costs and very high profits. A Polonez car, after deducting relevant fees and taxes, can earn more than 20,000 yuan.
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful, and we finally returned safely with a full load.
In order to attract investment, the leaders of Caocheng offered preferential policies in various aspects and vigorously supported the new factory.
In recent years, with the country's increased openness, the competitiveness of import and export businesses has also increased significantly.
The new factory implements a combination of guaranteed minimum wage and piece-rate wages, allowing workers to earn more by working harder, thus motivating them to be more enthusiastic about their work.
You have to understand that these days, some Eastern European countries are doing even worse than Russia, and they need daily necessities and other necessities even more.
Thus, Wu Yucheng and his team conducted various investigations and preparations.
Finally, at the end of June, Liu Yuhe, Chen Weiguo and others led a large number of demobilized soldiers, hired a cargo ship, loaded it with all kinds of goods, and headed to Eastern European countries.
At the time, Sheng Xiping asked Lin Chaoyang, who said that the product designs were outdated and couldn't keep up with the market.
Since they succeeded in trading with the Russians, they could replicate this approach and try to trade with Eastern European countries.
The personnel who went to Japan on business have returned. The samples and quotations they brought were quite attractive, and they have already signed letters of intent for cooperation with several major Japanese funeral supply companies.
This led to sluggish sales, stockpiled goods, inability to collect payments from external sources, and inability to pay workers' wages.
The county was already worried about the factory, and when Sheng Xiping said he wanted to take it over and change it to export, the county leaders held a meeting and then happily agreed.
The cargo ship docked at Tianjin Port, and Liu Yuhe and others gathered in the capital. Sheng Xiping also rushed over.
So when Sheng Xiping went there this time, he talked directly with the county leaders. He wanted to acquire that factory, change the business model, and process new products for export.
With the return of this batch of goods, the net profit was tens of millions, and Liu Yuhe and others were overjoyed.
