We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

The Mitsui Consortium's out of stock did cause Parknshop and Honor stores to lose some customer traffic in the next two days, accounting for more than 30% of the total.

It's not that more than 30% of the customers are die-hard supporters of the Mitsui Consortium, but that shopping around has become a habit for housewives in island countries.

They have no other work every day, and their greatest pleasure is shopping.

In Luo Nianzhong's new home in the island country, he looked at Matsuzaka Keiko at work. Luo Nianzhong, who was leaning on the bed, touched her little head and said, "You are a little absent-minded."

"You also said that I am almost dying of anxiety, but it's better for you to still think about these things."

"ha".

Luo Nianzhong was amused by her anxious look, just like a technician preparing to do the next job.

"What's the point? If the other party hadn't been the Mitsui family, I would still have a big strategy to deploy. A business war like this wouldn't even come before me. It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is."

After saying this sentence, Luo Nian felt another joy. In terms of physical structure, they were quite similar, and his sentences were very accurate.

"So? Is this the reason why you squeezed me when you got up so early in the morning?" Matsusaka Keiko said vaguely dissatisfied.

"You have wronged me. I also want to pay you, but you don't want it, right?"

Luo Nianzhong's hands were spread out, showing off his cheap and obedient behavior, which made Keiko Matsuzaka's teeth itch with anger.

It didn't matter that her teeth were itchy, but Luo Nianzhong suffered.

"Can you please be careful? It's hard for the customer. You just met someone like me who is easy to talk to. If someone else...

Hiss, I was wrong, my aunt is merciful, there is no such thing as someone else."

"Huh, that's pretty much it." After being satisfied, Matsuzaka Keiko concentrated on serving Luo Nianzhong.

……

The White Water Club is a monthly manager meeting of the Sumitomo Foundation. In addition to connecting emotionally, it is also a support meeting to help companies in difficulty.

For example, this time my family has accumulated a batch of electrical appliances. Brothers, please help me. I will send you some coupons and ask your corporate employees to buy some for me.

In other words, my family has a batch of grain and oil that has been overstocked due to the recent bad market. You guys should buy some and divide them into batches as benefits for employees.

This is the benefit of a consortium. With a large number of employees, any inventory can be digested internally.

Today happens to be the day of the White Water Meeting, and Yoshio Sumitomo came as usual to attend and hear about the development of the consortium.

But as soon as he entered the door of the conference room, he noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere. It was silent and strange, as if something big had happened.

Arriving at his seat, as soon as he sat down, he looked at Shozo Hota, who was also frowning.

"what happened?"

Only then did Hota Shozo wake up from his thoughts, shook his head and said, "It has little to do with us."

After speaking, Shozo Horida looked at Konosuke Matsushita, known as the god of island country management, and said, "Let Matsushita-kun do the talking."

Sumitomo Yoshio glanced at Hota Shozo and then turned his attention to Matsushita Konosuke.

“Today, the manager below reported to me that all the products we sell in the Honor Store have been notified, and our shipping prices have been reduced by 15 points.

And not only Panasonic, but all the island suppliers of PARKnSHOP and Honor stores have received this notice."

Sumitomo Yoshio did not speak when he heard this, but waited for Matsushita Konosuke's next words.

He didn't believe that Luo Nianzhong could be so stupid and unilaterally want these suppliers to make such huge profits. This was pure bullshit, so there must be conditions in exchange.

Sure enough, Matsushita Konosuke continued. "As a condition, the other party promised that during this period, their sales would increase by more than four times based on the previous period. If it was not enough, they would not give up."

"Four times?" Sumitomo Yoshio wanted to confirm the number he heard.

“That’s right, four times.

If calculated according to this data, the sales volume of our products is estimated to reach about 30% of the total sales volume of the island country, which is an offer that people cannot refuse."

Promotion, this is the reaction of Yoshio Sumitomo.

But then he rejected his idea because promotions are not uncommon in island countries.

This kind of marketing method will have a certain effect, but if you want to increase sales by four times, this is not a small retail store. How can it have such a substantial increase?

"What about profits? How can you guarantee your profits if you cut it by 15 points?" Yoshio Sumitomo, who was temporarily confused, didn't want to think about it. Anyway, it won't take long for the answer to be revealed.

"There is no guarantee. At this price, the profit of some products will not even reach 5%.

But this will allow us to clear a large amount of inventory, withdraw a large amount of funds, and weaken the sales volume of our opponents. This is the most critical thing. I think the other party also saw this and dared to be so tough."

This is true. For many types of products, the longer they last, the harder they are to sell. In the end, they can only be dismantled and refurbished, and some products have to be scrapped.

If a large amount of inventory can be cleared this time, the remaining products, even if they become obsolete in a few years, can be sold cheaply to economically underdeveloped areas. This is very tempting.

"What's your opinion?".

Sumitomo Yoshio regretted it after asking. How could anyone disagree with such a thing? There was no grudge between them and Luo Nianzhong.

This time, Shozo Hota on the side finally spoke, "We discussed it before you came, and suppliers such as Panasonic, NEC, and Asahi Beer all agreed to each other's conditions.

And like you, we are very curious about how the other party was able to suddenly increase sales four times. This is a reference for us in the future. I think many people should have the same idea as us."

There are many people, except for the companies of the Mitsui Consortium, everyone is discussing this matter and has agreed to it.

The outcome of this matter is not important to them at all, because this is a business that is guaranteed to make a lot of money.

Luo Nianzhong failed. They didn't care. Anyway, the contract for four times the sales volume was there.

If Luo Nianzhong succeeds, they can also learn some experience, so why not?

The only ones who are uncomfortable now may be the out-of-stock brands of the Mitsui Consortium. If this thing really succeeds, it will be a huge blow to them.

After such a crazy promotion, one can imagine the people’s spending power, and even less will be allocated to them.

You have cleared a lot of inventory, but I still have a mountain of it.

Some people are happy and some are worried. Not only many companies in the Mitsui Consortium are worried, but also some companies within other consortiums.

It is said that peers are enemies. If the sales of Parknshop Supermarket and Honor Store increase, it means that the trading companies of various consortiums will suffer.

A very strange business phenomenon in island countries is trading companies. It’s not that trading companies themselves are strange, but that trading companies in island countries are strange.

Can't understand?

In island countries, entrepreneurs feel that companies should focus on product quality and research and development, and should not worry about other things. Therefore, companies in island countries do not have their own sales channels, but sell them to trading companies.

Similarly, even the import of raw materials is handled by trading companies.

This also allows trading companies in several major consortiums to make a lot of money from the circulation of island countries' products around the world.

To a certain extent, this is equivalent to a monopoly business, so at this time, no matter how good the home appliance and electronics companies in the island country are, their market value cannot catch up with the trading companies.

At the peak of the bubble, among the top thirty companies in the world in terms of market value, several major banks and trading companies in the island country were among the best.

Just like Marubeni, it is one of the five largest trading companies in the island country.

Even if Luo Nianzhong didn't help the company much, Marubeni's market value still took off because other companies' products were selling well.

The convenience stores, supermarkets, and directly-operated stores under these trading companies are all direct competitors of PARKnSHOP and Honor Stores.

So if any company in these consortia has emotions, it is the trading company.

On the one hand, they also know that they are weak and cannot veto a decision that everyone agrees with.

On the other hand, they hope that Luo Nianzhong can succeed, so that they may find a business experience.

With such a mood of being willing to refuse but still welcoming, the presidents of these trading companies are also very tormented in their hearts.
