Chapter 255: The World Has Changed

Just like many industries in the country such as food, electronics, clothing, refrigerators, color TVs, washing machines, cars, computers, etc., facing the impact of overseas brands, those overseas brands have a lot of money, good technology, and a lot of experience. Running to the country, they are generally dimensionality reduction strikes against domestic local brands. Similarly, retail malls are also key objects of overseas brand looting.

And unlike other industries, the retail line involves many products, and the supply chain also affects countless suppliers.

The fall of domestic brand retail giants like Asia, once replaced by Walmart, Carrefour, Aeon, etc., is not as simple as changing a mall to buy things.

There are also suppliers of malls like Asia, who have to change their doors, begging Walmart, Carrefour, and other malls to let their products enter, and then be pinched by Walmart and other malls, and have a large amount of dividends taken away.

Walmart, Carrefour, Aeon, and other malls are actually equivalent to retail channel merchants. It is simply too simple for channel merchants to pinch brand merchants.

Just like Dong, the lady of Gree in the home appliance industry, who fights against the sky, the earth, and the air, but when facing Gome in those years, she was also frustrated everywhere, making Dong, the lady, curse Gome's Boss Huang for being overbearing. Being able to make Dong, the lady, curse people for being overbearing, one can see how strong Gome Electrical Appliances was at that time.

And Walmart, Carrefour, and other malls are much stronger than Gome!

But this does not mean that the supply and marketing cooperative, this behemoth, has completely disappeared. It just retreated from the front to the back. In the future, twenty years later, it is still a behemoth with an annual revenue of more than 900 billion USD.

Then he smiled and nodded. "No problem, I will ask the municipal government to help arrange for the person in charge of the supply and marketing cooperative in Hanxi Province to come over!"

With Yao Zhengru's words, Oriental Era basically opened green lights in Pingyang. Pingyang Bank, Pingyang State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, etc., will all fully support Oriental Era.

The Miao family of four sat at the table for dinner. The black and white TV was playing the news of the local TV station in Shangzhong. Miao Jiahui had two older brothers on her head. The eldest brother was already married and had children, and the second brother was also a temporary worker in a factory and also had an object. The Miao family all worked in state-owned factories, and the family background was considered pretty good.

"Little Hui is back, wash your hands and eat!"

Not only in the country, Kenya's coffee, Bulgaria's rose essential oil, Malaysia's tropical fruits, Brazil's white sugar, soybeans, etc., the supply and marketing cooperative can import from abroad to the country. Even if it can't buy it, it can find sales channels.

After the Oriental Era mall opens, there will definitely be competitors. Everything that Asia mall experienced, Dongling High-Tech here will definitely have to experience it once.

Miao Jiahui responded, washed her hands, and entered the kitchen to start helping. She is now doing finance in a state-owned ceramic factory in Shangzhong. Although she has not yet become a regular worker, her income is part more than when she was in Pingyang Steel Factory before.

"I believe that Oriental Era will become the most eye-catching mall in Pingyang and even Hanxi, and will also become the pride of all Pingyang people. In the future, Oriental Era will walk out of Pingyang, walk out of Hanxi, and even walk out of the mainland!"

However, with Yao Zhengru here, several major malls in Pingyang, whether it is Pingyang Department Store, the clothing wholesale market on Huanghe Road, etc., dare not suppress Oriental Era like suppressing Asia in Shangdu.

The name of Dongling High-Tech, the Miao family of course heard of, but Li Dongshan had not appeared in the media before, and there were not many news reports about the Li family from the outside world. The Miao family also did not connect Dongling High-Tech with Li Dongshan.

Even in the future, if the Oriental Era mall has a chance to go to the overseas market one day, the powerful supply chain of the domestic supply and marketing cooperative can still help Oriental Era stabilize the rear. Of course, Oriental Era certainly also needs to establish its own supplier channels, but adding the supply chain of the supply and marketing cooperative, it is of great benefit at any time.

After the reporters dispersed, Li Dongling and Yao Zhengru walked toward a construction headquarters temporarily built by Oriental Era.

"Mayor Yao, please!"

But after walking out of Pingyang, it may not be so. Li Dongling certainly needs to establish his own supply chain for Oriental Era.

Yao Zhengru looked back at the construction site where the machinery was roaring continuously, with a smile on his face. The Oriental Era project can also be considered one of the projects during his tenure, and it will also be counted in his resume in the future.

The Oriental Era mall invested a lot of money in advertising, especially TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, magazines, etc., in more than ten urban areas in Hanxi Province, all of which were reported. This was just blowing wind. When it opens, the advertising investment will continue to increase. At that time, SMS advertisements, flyers, bus advertisements, etc., will all start to be used.

Hearing Li Dongling's words, Yao Zhengru glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and understood Li Dongling's intention.

In addition, a large number of companies such as Zhongnong Fertilizer, Zhongzai Recycling, Zhongnong United, Zhonggong Cold Chain Logistics, etc., are also industries under the supply and marketing cooperative. Some have already been listed, and there are dozens of logistics and warehousing industrial parks in the country.

Asia mall, after opening in Shangdu, was jointly besieged by five local malls, prohibiting suppliers from supplying goods to Asia!

Asia finally established its own supplier channels through a tragic price war. Not only Asia has experienced it, but Pang Donglai has also experienced it. Finally, relying on the four-party joint procurement, it barely stood firm. Placed on Oriental Era, it is definitely unavoidable.

Seeing Li Dongshan surrounded by a large group of media and interviewed, Miao Jiahui's face couldn't help but show a look of surprise. The Li Dongshan in the TV is almost a world of difference from the Li Dongshan who was a temporary worker in the steel factory!

Miao Jiahui knows the general situation of the Li family, and also knows that Li Dongshan has younger siblings, but since leaving Pingyang, she has lost contact with Pingyang and has never heard of the Li family's situation again.

In front of the camera, in front of many media and reporters, Yao Zhengru said to Li Dongshan. This can actually show how much he values Oriental Era.

"Now broadcasting news in Hanxi Province, today the Oriental Era large-scale complex mall project located in Pingyang officially started. This is a large-scale project with a total investment expected to exceed 300 million yuan. After completion, it will become the largest mall project in Hanxi and even the country."

What other thigh is thicker than the supply and marketing cooperative? The supply chain of the supply and marketing cooperative, even if it only opens a corner of the iceberg for Oriental Era, is enough for the Oriental Era mall to use for more than ten years.

In recent years, the trend of retail stores of the supply and marketing cooperative has become more and more obvious. Now the supply and marketing cooperatives in counties, towns, and villages are still operating normally, but the supply and marketing cooperative stores in big cities have slowly disappeared. In the future, these supply and marketing cooperative stores and buildings are basically rented out.

However, Li Dongling values more whether the local snakes of the supply and marketing cooperative can support the Oriental Era mall.

The supply and marketing cooperative retreated from the front, and the huge supply chain and procurement chain it left behind can just be borrowed by Oriental Era.

"No need for you to say, I know!"

With this thigh, whether it is Pingyang, Hanxi, or other malls in the country, if they want to snipe and suppress Oriental Era, they have to weigh whether they can bend the thigh of the supply and marketing cooperative.

The sales of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, seeds, various farm tools, and the repurchase of agricultural products like cotton in the country are all done by the supply and marketing cooperative.

Apart from forming his own supply chain, Li Dongling is also preparing to find a towering tree for the Oriental Era mall to enjoy the shade. Looking around, what tree is bigger than the supply chain and warehousing logistics center under the supply and marketing cooperative that covers the whole country?!

"Mayor Yao, I hope that the Pingyang Municipal Government can take the lead and help Oriental Era start cooperation with the supply and marketing cooperative in Hanxi Province!"

Li Dongling reached out to Yao Zhengru who had just got off the bus. Then Li Dongling, Li Dongshan, and Yao Zhengru and others walked together to the open space with banners, each took an iron shovel, and shoveled a few shovels of soil in front of the camera. The Oriental Era project can be considered officially started.

In Shangzhong City, in a staff building, the gentle-looking Miao Jiahui pushed open the door, and a voice came out immediately.

Miao Jiahui responded, then buried her head in eating and didn't speak again.

A motorcade drove over, and Li Dongling and Li Dongshan ended the interview with reporters and media.

Just at this time, a name suddenly appeared on the news on the black and white TV station, which made Miao Jiahui look over.

Miao Jiahui looked at the figure on the black and white TV. Although she hadn't seen it for a long time and the image of the black and white TV was not very clear, Miao Jiahui would never misread Li Dongshan's figure, familiar expression, and inadvertent movements.

At the dinner table, Miao Jiahui's parents, Mei Hong and Miao Qinggong, looked at each other. Mei Hong touched Miao Qinggong's arm, and the latter coughed and said, "Little Hui, the young man your aunt arranged for you to meet a few days ago, how is it? People are personnel in the unit, and you are not young anymore. It is time to get married."

The entire Oriental Era mall will radiate the entire Hanxi Province, and the general manager of the Oriental Era mall, Li Dongshan and others, participated in the construction commencement ceremony..."

The report of Shangzhong TV station also paid advertising fees for the Oriental Era mall.

At the moment on the TV station, seeing Li Dongshan's figure, Miao Qinggong and Mei Hong both widened their eyes. They couldn't believe their eyes and even suspected whether it was the same name.

Seeing Miao Jiahui, who was looking at the news with a dazed look, biting her lip, they knew that this was probably not fake news. The temporary worker they looked down on had now really become a big boss of a mall with an investment of hundreds of millions. This world is changing too fast!

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 256 =====

Before leaving Pingyang, Li Dongshan was just a temporary worker at the steel mill. In just a few years, how did he become the general manager of a shopping mall with an investment of several hundred million!

Miao Qinggong and Mei Hong suspected they had seen fake news, but seeing Miao Jiahui beside them, staring blankly at the news with her lips pursed, they knew this was likely not fake news. That temporary worker they once looked down upon had truly become the big boss of a shopping mall with an investment of several hundred million. This world is changing too fast!
