Chapter 694: Are you a friend of the Lawrence family?

Zhang Yang was not afraid of Jim's condition, but was afraid that the other party would not say anything. For his net worth and status, human relations are more difficult to repay than money.
Of course, the communication between them will definitely not say how much I will help you, how much money do you give me, but that you should use your network and ability to help my enterprise go further and be mutually successful.
"Our Zhiduoxing Group plans to issue a half-year award to all employees this year, and I think Wal-Mart's shopping card is good. Several of our subsidiaries and factories are located in cities that happen to have Wal-Mart stores."
"A thousand dollars per capita. We have more than 30,000 employees. Is this sincerity enough?"
Originally, Deng Yongping discussed with Zhang Yang. Many companies will send employees some shopping cards, gift cards and the like. This is more economical than cash. Because you purchase a large amount, the other party will give a discount to the employee. Say, this is no different from cash.
More than 30 million US dollars in sales, this is indeed not small.
"Yang, since that is the case, why can't you let these shopping cards be consumed in the Chinese market?"
30 million US dollars, in fact, can bring Wal-Mart hundreds of thousands of dollars in net profit, they are now more than 200 billion US dollars in sales, this money is nothing but a fraction.
However, Wal-Mart's performance in the China market is not good, and it is not as good as supermarkets such as Carrefour. They also need to gain popularity and increase sales in the China market.
"If it is just the Huaxia market, then I will buy two RMB 100 million shopping cards. At the same time, I will let people announce on the official website of Huaxia, and Zhiduoxing Group will issue a notice to Wal-Mart shopping cards to employees."
Jim is satisfied now: "Yang, chatting with you is very happy. I promise that within a month, those retailers will contact your North American subsidiary, but many retailers will settle the sales volume at the end of the month. Can you understand this? ?"
"Of course, we don't have too many requirements. It doesn't matter with Neptune and other products. I believe consumers will make a wise choice."
The two simply negotiated a deal. They did not pay much for both parties. They gave each other a lot of help.
Zhiduoxing products can have better sales channels in North America, and Wal-Mart can also get better publicity in China.
"Yang, in fact, you can also find Li from Xiangjiang. He is also a director of our alliance, or a rare non-American director. I heard that you also have a lot of cooperation with his company?"
Zhang Yang had also considered finding Li Chaoren to help before, but Li Chaoren's influence in this league was not comparable to the Walton family.
"We have some cooperation, but are you talking more and more, is it not good?"
"Of course, I admire you. When I was your age, I didn't have the ability you have." Jim thought about growing up in supermarkets when he was a kid. He worked in supermarkets after school and accumulated a lot of experience. .
Now the company's chairman is his elder brother, but he has become the company's president, because the brothers have discussed a few times, and feel that he has a stronger learning ability, younger, and more energetic.
In fact, their four brothers and sisters are the same whoever manages the company. After all, when his father passed away, he divided the shares among them.
In other words, it is not a split, but a family joint venture company was established. This company holds 48% of the Wal-Mart Group's shares. Both their siblings are shareholders and the share ratio is the same. When Sam Walton passed away, they avoided high inheritance taxes.
At the same time, because of Sam Walton's education, the four of them are very affectionate and frugal. The eldest son is now the chairman of the company, but the office is only 12 square meters, and the office of Jim, the president, is only 20 square meters.
Many people joked that Wal-Mart is a shop for the poor to sell goods to the poor, but it can not hide the fact that Wal-Mart has become the top 500 for several consecutive years.
And before Zhang Yang was reborn, Wal-Mart was still able to stand at the top of the list of wealth, making many people envious.
"But the Walton family is the world's first richest family, isn't it? Several of the assets are also rich and powerful. I have something to ask you for advice." Zhang Yang suddenly said.
"I can do things in retail, and I may not be able to help others." Jim said modestly.
"I have a friend. He owns a clothing company that does design, production, sales, OEM, etc. How can they increase their sales and profits?"
Jim looked at Zhang Yang: "Here are the two of us. The friend you said is not you?"
"Really not, although I am very optimistic about the future of the apparel industry, but I do not do this, I prefer the IT industry. My main investment is around the IT industry, really to ask friends for advice."
"I can give some advice on clothing sales. Do they have a retail store and are they small or large? What is their geographic location?"
"There are clothing stores, the scale is not small, but the number is not much, the geographical location is also okay, mainly concentrated in some eastern states." Zhang Yang replied.
"Well, it depends on the characteristics. There are many characteristics, which can be fashion, cheap, durable, etc. Since there is a chain, why not run the brand?"
"In terms of brand management, I don't need any advice. Zhiduoxing is also very good at this."
"What if the brand is not operating? And they still have many factories, and because of unions and other reasons, it is difficult to lay off staff and the expenditure is very high. Within Wal-Mart, how do you deal with the union? Why are many employees satisfied with the treatment of Wal-Mart? ~EbookFREE.me~ Isn't the salary of employees too high?"
Jim smiled complacently: "This is a strategy formulated by my elder brother, but it involves some of our business skills, so it is not convenient to disclose. I can only give you a hint, we are one with the employees, the company makes money, and the employees can only Make money. The more a company earns, the more employees get, so they can treat the company as a big family."
Zhang Yang thought about it, could it be a variable salary? It seems that it is not too simple to solve the problem of that company. That's right, the Lawrence family is also full of talents. If it can be solved very simply, wouldn't the other party think of it?
The key is your solution, but also to allow employees to accept, otherwise the strike here is not to talk about, many workers will suffer both losses.
"Yang, are you friends with the Lawrence family in Boston?"
Zhang Yang was taken aback, he didn't say anything, how could this be guessed by the opponent?
"There is a friend from the Lawrence family." Zhang Yang could only explain vaguely, and did not know how Will cooperated with each other.
