pharmacies " Imploziya" has become a market leader

Galina Zinchenko, Anastasia Zhokhova

Why does Bezruchenko Grant refuse to recognize his success.

A few weeks Forbes’ reporter tried unsuccessfully to contact with the owner of

chain " Imploziya" Grant Bezruchenko. In the night from Friday to Saturday, the phone rang.

" This is the one you are looking for, " - said a male voice. The caller was strongly

opposed to name the " Imploziya" as pharmacy chain. The conversation went short.

Later, from the same number began to come sms with obscenities.

Was it self Grant Bezruchenko? The turnover of his pharmaceutical business,

including a chain of 1, 500 pharmacies, more than 20 billion rubles. In recognition of

competitors, business model of " Imploziya" and cleverly built structure allows

to have a profit a half times higher than the market average. Including at the expense of

tax optimization. Perhaps that is why the reaction of the caller was so

aggressive.

" Grant - explosive man. People communicate with him for the first time, usually

experiencing a shock, " - said Alexey Molchanov, ex-general director of

" Protek", the distribution division of one of the largest pharmaceutical

holdings.

A few years ago Bezruchenko suspected that he sent obscene

Sms to Samarian prosecutor criminal proceedings were instituted.

Businessman argued that simcard from which came the message was put by

attackers. The case was closed. To give Forbes substantive comments

for this article Bezruchenko declined, as well as top managers of “Imploziya”. Who is

this Bezruchenko, why he is so successful and such an eccentric?
