114: A War With No Winners (Plus)

"Mr. Xia-"

Song Minglan didn't know what he was angry about.

No, she actually understands!

This is something she has never encountered since she was a child... She was turned away.

It really makes no sense!

For general managers of state-owned department stores like Lu Hongbo, if they want to see 'Miss Song San' on other occasions, it depends on how Miss Song San feels. Now it's good. She came to the door to drink a wedding wine with a gift, but she was turned away - of course, Lu Hongbo didn't know her identity, and the person Lu Hongbo rejected was actually Xia Xiaolan.

Song Minglan is still very upset!

Now even she is working under Xia Xiaolan, as a special assistant for Xia Xiaolan, this person surnamed Lu doesn't give Xia Xiaolan face, and naturally she doesn't give face either.

Turning her head to look at Xia Xiaolan, she actually just had a thoughtful expression on her face.

Can this not be angry?

Xia Xiaolan's temper is not so good.

When you were in the Song family, you didn't bow your head to anyone, but now you have to bow to this surnamed Lu?

"It is indeed presumptuous for us not to be invited, but congratulations to President Lu are true, then leave the congratulations, and people don't need to go in and disturb. Special assistant Song, let's go!"

Xia Xiaolan shouted a few words loudly on purpose, and quickly left.

Song Minglan was still not smart enough, or it would be the most appropriate for Song Minglan to shout these words.

Without waiting for others to refuse, Xia Xiaolan dropped the gift and ran away.

Xia Xiaolan's face sank until she got into the car.

"A general manager of a state-owned department store would not do such a thing. Lu Hongbo shut me out today. This matter will soon spread throughout the entire business capital."

Song Minglan is still angry, once people are angry, their brains are not easy to use:

"If it's spread all over the place, it's not that we are humiliated unilaterally. Others will only say that Lu Hongbo is narrow-minded and doesn't understand etiquette!"

Xia Xiaolan sighed, "That's not the point. Do you think he's taking my face like this just to vent his personal emotions? No, he's making a statement to the outside world. Several state-run shopping malls represented by Lu Hongbo have joined forces. Their attitude towards Asia is very Resolutely, Lu Hongbo doesn't see me, just because the meeting doesn't work, no matter what I say, several state-run shopping malls will not change their minds!"

Is a price war inevitable?

According to the current trend, it will only take two years at most for Shangdu Asia to recover its investment.

At the beginning of the price war, let alone recovering the investment cost, we have to continue to post money in Asia!

Not to mention how dissatisfied the second concubine and the others will be, will Zhu Suizhou take the opportunity to regain power, even if Xia Xiaolan can afford all the money posted, and she fights her own losses to wipe out several state-owned shopping malls, that's too bad. Not that she won!

Market prices were disrupted.

Profits in this line of business have been squeezed to the lowest point. What is the use of her winning like that?

It is also a high-quality wool sweater, which could have sold for more than 100 yuan, but due to the price war in the shopping mall, it can only sell for fifty or sixty yuan. Once the common people feel that wool sweaters are worth so much money, and Asia wants to raise the price again after winning the price war, the common people in Shangdu will not pay the bill.

Therefore, there is no winner in the "Central Plains Business War".

Even Zhusuizhou in the previous life seemed to have won several other state-owned shopping malls, but it actually made the retail department store market a mess.

The price war has lasted for 7 years. The annual turnover of Shangdu in Asia is increasing. It is estimated that it is making money in the first two years, and it is not bad to not lose money later. It is no wonder that Zhusuizhou is going to expand and open chain stores in other places... Shangdu Asia here is losing money and shouting, but don't you just want to rely on Asia from other places to subsidize blood transfusions?

Song Minglan was angry, and Xia Xiaolan was not a holy monk, so of course she was also angry.

But anger will lead people to make wrong decisions. If she is so provoked by Lu Hongbo, she decides to fight, and then she has to go back to the old path of Zhusuizhou's previous life——

Back in Asia, the second concubine was already waiting.

The second room is indeed living in a downturn, and the second concubine is very interested in Asia's business.

Although she is a layman and often misunderstands her focus, she is indeed very concerned about the troubles in Asia.

"I heard--"

"Second madam, do you want to ask a few state-run shopping malls to join forces to reduce prices? This is true. I originally wanted to see Mr. Lu from Zijingshan Department Store, but Mr. Lu was busy and didn't see me. !"

Xia Xiaolan explained the current situation.

The second aunt's face changed for a long time without speaking.

She didn't think it was Xia Xiaolan's fault.

What's wrong with Xia Xiaolan?

It must be said that there is something wrong, and that is to make Asia too prosperous!

Since Asia's business has been so good, of course it will be jealous of others. The second concubine knows this best. It is like wives and concubines fighting for favor. For example, when Du Tsengrong wants to marry the fifth concubine, they feel a big threat and still want to unite to deal with the fifth concubine. too.

The problem is that they didn't overpower the fifth concubine at that time, because the other party had Du Tsengrong's support and favor, and they could fight three of them without any effort.

Now Asia is also a dozen.

However, will those customers only dote on Asia like Du Tsengrong dotes on the fifth concubine?

The second concubine was irritable and worried, and only after a while did she make up her mind:

"It's a big deal, if we recover the cost a year later, those shopping malls will cut prices, and Asia will also cut prices. We can barely bear it if we take out hundreds of millions of dollars to lose money..."

It hurts to talk about it.

She alone holds more than 60% of the shares. For every 100 yuan of losses, she has to lose more than 60 yuan. She has engaged in price wars with several shopping malls, and the second concubine has the biggest loss.

On the contrary, Xia Xiaolan, who only holds 18% of the shares, lost 100 yuan, and only spent 18 yuan. With Xia Xiaolan's current net worth, this loss is really a drizzle, and it will not cause much burden at all.

No, the second aunt really can't go on, and my heart hurts a lot.

The second room is short of money now!

Du Zhaoji, who was the most profitable, lost his favor and lost the favor of Du Chenrong. He only spent money but did not make any income. The second aunt knew too much that the money in her hand would be spent less and less, and she regretted saying it just now.

Xia Xiaolan knew that the second aunt was tangled in her heart.

Although it was a tangle, she agreed with her to respond to the "price war" of several state-owned shopping malls. The second aunt's mental awareness was beyond Xia Xiaolan's expectations, and she couldn't be too demanding of this wealthy family, right?

While the second concubine hadn't regretted it, Xia Xiaolan stopped teasing her:

"Second wife, once the price drops, when it can stop, it's not up to us to decide."

"So, what are you going to do?"

"Since Mr. Lu doesn't see me, the two sides can't sit down and negotiate, so they can do their own business. Several state-owned shopping malls will cut prices and let them go. Asia should not fight!"

Should not fight? !

The second concubine doesn't want to lose money and make a profit, but if you don't fight, Asia's customers will be snatched away by several other state-run shopping malls!
