Chapter 837 The first large supermarket in Yanjing!
That night.
Yang Ming and Ni Guangnan have a good negotiation.
Empire Group established a company, and Ni Guangnan joined the company as general manager.
In addition to high salary and benefits, there is also a 1% share.
Historically, Ni Guangnan made great contributions to Liu Chuanzhi and Lian Xiang. In the end, not to mention 1% of the shares, he was kicked out directly.
Ni Guangnan agreed mainly because he considered that Mr. Yang could provide better conditions and also agreed to turn all his research results into products.
This is what Ni Guangnan needs most.
After Ni Guangnan left.
Yang Ming looked at Tang Yun and said: "Tang Yun, I have just reached an agreement with Mr. Ni to establish Lianxiang Company. He will serve as the general manager of Lianxiang Company. The funds he needs, the talents he needs, and even other issues, You solve everything for him."
"Yes, boss."
Tang Yun was very surprised.
There are so many people in Yanjing, why does the boss like Ni Guangnan?
Instead of meeting that Liu Chuanzhi today?
Tang Yun couldn't understand.
For Yang Ming, this is indeed just a trivial matter.
That night.
Mr. Shen, come here.
Yang Ming and Mr. Shen came to Yingtai and saw the old man at work.
When the old gentleman saw Yang Ming coming, he stopped first.
Yang Ming talked to the old man about going to Union Hospital to see He Xian today, and also talked about the changes in Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park.
Until late at night.
Yang Ming took the car back to Yanjing Oriental Mandarin Hotel.
. . .
Yang Ming woke up.
The time has come to March 1983, 9.
Yang Ming just got up.
When he was washing up and going downstairs to have breakfast, Tang Yun didn't come, but Zhou Kaixuan came.
Zhou Kaixuan also brought someone over.
This person's dress is still somewhat different from that in China.
He is the person in charge sent by Watsons' PARKnSHOP supermarket chain.
"Boss, Baijia Supermarket will officially open in Yanjing tomorrow. I wonder if you will participate?"
Parknshop?
Watsons Group is a subsidiary group company of Hutchison Whampoa Group.
Parknshop Supermarket is a supermarket chain company of Watsons Group.
PARKnSHOP supermarkets are located all over Xiangjiang.
Historically, after Li Jiacheng acquired Hutchison Whampoa, he also monopolized major shopping malls in Xiangjiang through PARKnSHOP supermarkets.
Later, PARKnSHOP also entered the mainland market.
At the beginning, Yang Ming decided to invest in China.
He has confirmed that his supermarkets will also enter the mainland market. However, the domestic environment is destined to be different, and it cannot be achieved overnight.
Baijia Supermarket's first supermarket in Yanjing has been in preparation for two years, and it is only now that all aspects are fully prepared.
At this time, Wangfujing Department Store, supply and marketing cooperatives, state-owned stores, etc. monopolized the merchandise sales in Yanjing, and even needed to use various tickets to purchase.
In Yang Ming's opinion, this is very inconvenient.
On January 1983, 1, the Haiding Shopping Mall in Haiding District opened. This was the first supermarket in Yanjing.
This supermarket is a bit small, only 200 square meters, and only sells vegetables and meat. It is also much more expensive than the wet market not far away. But as soon as this place opened, it still attracted many Yanjing people to come and watch the excitement.
Historically, this new business model was quickly replicated throughout Yanjing after the Haidian Shopping Mall. The most famous and largest one was the Jinghua Shopping Mall, which opened in 1984.
The Jinghua Optional Shopping Mall has very high standards. All the equipment in the shopping mall is imported, and relevant personnel also went to Japan for inspection and study.
The decoration is also very luxurious, and there is a cashier desk after entering the door.
There are spiral staircases in the mall, as well as a square pool with rockeries, goldfish, and 7 colored lanterns at the bottom.
In the Jinghua Self-Select Shopping Mall, customers can choose whatever they want without having to look at the salesperson’s face, just like picking up items from their own home, so some people even jokingly call this place a “self-select shopping mall.”
The popularity of Jinghua Shopping Mall has made shopping bags in the mall become fashionable items. Passengers can often be seen on buses carrying shopping bags with the words "Jinghua Shopping Mall" in their hands.
According to estimates, 30% of the plastic bags with logos in Yanjing at that time came from Jinghua Shopping Mall.
Everyone in Yanjing at that time knew, "There is a self-selected shopping mall in Xicheng, and you can take whatever you want in it."
At this time, the large-scale supermarket planned by Parknshop Supermarket under the Imperial Group in Yanjing was larger than the Jinghua Supermarket in history and came earlier.
"There are too many people there tomorrow, so I won't go. I'll go check it out in advance today."
Considering his status, Yang Ming will not go tomorrow.
However, he was going to take a look after breakfast.
After breakfast at the Oriental Mandarin Hotel.
Take the bus to the area between the Second Ring Road and the Third Ring Road.
This place turned out to be an old state-owned textile factory. After it closed down, it has been idle. An inspection team from Watsons and PARKnSHOP discovered this place. It has a very good location and a very dense crowd around it.
They decided to rent it out.
Exclusively redesigned and refurbished.
This state-owned textile factory is only three floors high, with each floor covering an area of 10,000 to 20,000 square meters. The area is still very large and suitable for use as a large supermarket.
Now, Yang Ming and others came by car.
When he came here for the first time, he had already seen busy workers preparing for the opening of the supermarket tomorrow.
"Boss, this used to be a state-owned textile factory. We have rented it and signed a 30-year joint lease." said the person in charge on the side.
Yang Ming nodded.
Go inside to the first floor.
When Yang Ming was in Xiangjiang, he had never been to the current supermarket in Xiangjiang. In his previous life, Yang Ming had been to supermarkets all over the world.
In fact, supermarkets are also changing and developing.
Like here now.
Here on the first floor, basically everything is rice, grain, oil, vegetables, meat, etc.
With an area of nearly 10,000 to 20,000 square meters, there is room for a lot of things.
When visiting here on the first floor, Yang Ming and others felt that they were going in circles, and many people might not be able to get out.
When you get to the second floor.
The sales here are mainly clothing.
There are all kinds of clothing for men, women, old and young.
Here on the third floor, a variety of electrical products are mainly sold.
In addition to electrical products such as televisions, washing machines, and tape recorders, there are also various game consoles and many large-ticket products.
It seems like there are a lot of products here.
Yang Ming knew.
Today's Yanjing only has Wangfujing Department Store, supply and marketing cooperatives, and some state-owned stores. In Yang Ming's opinion, they cannot keep up with the times.
Even many people, including those working at the embassy, want to spend money to buy things, but they may not have anywhere to buy them.
Today, such a large supermarket of the Imperial Group in Yanjing, a city with a population of nearly 10 million, is nothing at all.
He knew that business in the supermarket would be very hot tomorrow.
In the future, other large supermarkets under the Empire Group will gradually enter Yanjing.
Soon, more large domestic supermarkets will appear.
"Boss, this supermarket is too big." Zhong Chuhong said in shock.
Over there in Xiangjiang, there are actually many supermarkets.
Hutchison Whampoa, Wharf, Jardine Land, Wheelock, etc. under the Empire Group have their own large supermarkets, and Zhong Chuhong and her family have also visited them.
This was the first time she had seen a large supermarket as large as this one in Yanjing.
