In terms of age, except for Yang Li, who was born in the 1980s, the other four executives were born in the 1970s. As far as qualifications are concerned, all five people have experience in Yonghui. Among them, Li Guo joined Fuzhou Yonghui Supermarket Co., Ltd. in August 20001year, and it has been nearly 18 years.
"At present (management) tends to be stable." People from the securities department of Yonghui Supermarket said in an interview with a reporter from Cailian that all five senior executives are old employees and have a good understanding of Yonghui culture. At the same time, in the current competitive retail environment, they are "more competitive" with the Internet.
However, she also believes that the confirmation of the new leadership does not mean that Yonghui Supermarket will pay more attention to new retail. "We don't think there is any' new retail'. Retail is new, and the essence of retail is service. "
According to the announcement, Li Guo is currently the director, executive vice president and president of Yunchao of Yonghui Supermarket. He used to be general manager of the first business cluster of Yonghui Supermarket and director of Zhong Bai Holding Group Co., Ltd. ..
It is worth mentioning that in the month when Zhang Xuansong and Zhang Xuanning, the founders of Yonghui, "separated" last June, 65438+February, Yonghui had already reorganized its management, when Li Guo was promoted to executive vice president.
"We (this time) are improving the senior management team and have not replaced the previous (adjusted) senior management." The above-mentioned Yonghui Supermarket Securities Department told the Cailian reporter.
In fact, with the deepening of retail reform and the increasingly fierce competition, the two founders of Yonghui have differences in management and business development direction, which prompted Yonghui to avoid new variables.
Referring to the cancellation of concerted action by the two founders of Yonghui last year, the above-mentioned securities department said: "We are ready to return to our main business. They are not separated, but their business policies are different. (Yonghui Supermarket) transfers 20% equity of Yonghui Yunchuang (Zhang Xuanning), so he can concentrate on innovative business, while we concentrate on being a supermarket. "
In addition, the person stressed that the key direction of Yonghui Supermarket in the second half of the year is to return to its main business. "We can't change our direction and strategy because there are different voices from outside, but our home business is also striving to be stronger and better."
Zhuang Shuai, a special researcher at China E-commerce Research Center, said that Yonghui, a local supermarket, is still facing the biggest problem of "internal management problems brought about by national development". In order to meet this challenge, Yonghui needs to re-evaluate the original system, process and incentive mechanism, and formulate an organizational structure and management model suitable for the whole country, which is one of the reasons why Yonghui adjusts its senior management structure twice every six months.
An industry insider who asked not to be named agreed with this. He believes that frequent adjustment of the executive structure shows that Yonghui has encountered organizational mismatch and talent problems in the process of national expansion and rapid development of new formats in the past two years. In order to adapt to the next competitive environment, Yonghui began to plan ahead in terms of organization and talents.
Li Guo has previously publicly stated that Yonghui's biggest competition comes from racing against time, promoting digital construction and refined operation, running to the store integration mode, and rushing to attack the market, running through 70% of the war zones, Yonghui can realize the future of 65.438+050 billion.
Yonghui Supermarket's financial report shows that its revenue in the first quarter of 20 19 was 22.236 billion yuan, and the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was165438+24 million yuan.
On March 28th this year, Yonghui Supermarket issued a written notice to Zhong Bai Group, informing it that it intends to increase its direct and indirect shareholding ratio in Zhong Bai Group from the current 29.86% to no more than 40%. In Zhuang Shuai's view, this move still shows that Yonghui values department stores and supermarkets, and even optimistic about the development prospects of shopping centers, with the aim of reducing the operational risks of a single format.
According to the above-mentioned person from the securities department of Yonghui Supermarket, the main reason for Yonghui to increase its holdings in Zhong Bai is to do retail and stress market share. "We hope to have deeper strategic cooperation with Zhong Bai and deepen the Hubei market."
"Yonghui plans to open 150 stores nationwide this year, and close 2-3 stores every year, but it is not because of business problems, but mostly because of local policy changes, such as demolition." The above-mentioned person said.
