Chapter 1303 Your eyes are so good!(1/2)
The press conference ended very quickly.
However, the remarks about Li Dong's remarks about Gome and entering the Xiangjiang market soon spread.
For a moment, the call of the wolf coming spread throughout Xiangjiang.
Although Xiangjiang is not big, it can be used as the oriental pearl of Asia, with various shopping centers everywhere.
Among them, the largest retail group is Watsons, a subsidiary of Changjiang.
In the eyes of mainlanders, Watsons only sells cosmetics and facial masks...
However, in fact, Watsons is a veritable retail group, and it also includes two major department store brands, namely Bajia Supermarket and Taste.
Baijia and taste, one is an ordinary supermarket and the other is a boutique shopping supermarket.
These two brands have a wide range of businesses in Xiangjiang and have hundreds of stores.
You know, how big is Xiangjiang?
In addition to Watsons' own stores, it can be said that Watsons Group occupies half of the retail business of Xiangjiang.
The other half of the country is occupied by Jardinet Group.
As a Fortune 500 company in the world, Jardines Group owns the largest supermarket brand in Xiangjiang.
In addition, the other party also has an authorized operation of 7-eleven convenience store in Xiangjiang.
In other words, Xiangjiang's 7-eleven convenience store and Wellcome Supermarket both belong to Jardinet Group.
Jardine and Yangtze River are the two largest retail groups in Xiangjiang.
Yuanfang Group's main business is also retail. Once Yuanfang enters the market, it will 100% seize the retail market of these two companies, because the Xiangjiang market is almost saturated now.
It is impossible to accommodate a third super retail group, and there is no other way to go except to compete.
At this time, Li Dong suddenly announced that he would enter the Xiangjiang market. In the eyes of the outside world, it even had some intention of provoking the Yangtze River.
You know, the previous confrontation between the Chaozhou merchants and the Jiangbei merchants has affected Xiangjiang.
Fang Keng came forward in person to shock the tide merchants in Xiangjiang.
The man Changjiang chose to watch. Logically speaking, Li Dong shouldn't have provoked a war at this time, as this is not good for his acquisition of Gome.
Then what did Li Dong think?
...
Not only does the outside world want to know about this, but Shen Qian also wants to know about it.
She had known that Li Dong was going to march into Xiangjiang for a long time.
But Shen Qian couldn't help but say, "Why can you change the time when you announce your entry into Xiangjiang today?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "It's no difference, it's just a matter of course."
Besides, I want to enter Xiangjiang. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is the same whether you say it or not. Now build momentum first to make everyone mentally prepared.”
"But……"
"You mean the person from Changjiang?"
Shen Qian nodded. At this time, Li Dong was competing for Gome's controlling stake and could not tolerate any losses.
Although, because of this sentence, it is unlikely that the other party will turn against each other, but now being over-interpreted by the media may lead to the other party being unable to get along and some unexpected things will occur.
Seeing Shen Qian suspicious, Li Dong narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Now in Xiangjiang, Huikang and Baijia occupy nearly 70% of the retail market.
If you want to enter from afar, you can only pick up some soup.
My purpose is not this. I heard that although the performance of Baijiao has been good recently, its profits are average.
For Lao Li, who is used to making big money, he probably doesn't look down on the cash flow of Baijia now.
But we are different. Our main body is retail, and profit is second to the point. The key lies in the global layout.
Lao Li looked down on this little profit, and I wanted to enter Xiangjiang at this time. You said, is it better to fight me for the department store business, or just package it and sell it, get back a large amount of money and invest more profitable business?"
Chen Qian said in surprise: "Impossible? Even if Baijia is not profitable, it can be used as a supplementary business for Watsons..."
"Watsons is a retail group in name, but its main business is medicine, beauty and health care.
It can be said that there is no business supplement between the two.
Whether the 1000 is sold or not has little impact on Watsons.
Moreover, Baijia has many stores in southern Fujian and Guangdong Province. After winning Baijia, we can calmly plan the coastal market.
If I could come from the outside to the inside, from Xiangjiang to the coastal areas this time, I would probably make people lose their glasses."
Li Dong joked with some bad taste, of course, the reason why he had the idea of Baijia was not a fantasy.
In his previous life, Lao Li transferred assets and sold the industry, but it was very popular at the time.
Baijia is also one of the businesses that Lao Li is preparing to sell.
Almost, China Resources took the other party.
However, in the end, due to price issues, the two sides failed to reach an agreement and Changjiang gave up selling the Bajia Supermarket.
Since I could be sold in my previous life, won’t it work in this life?
If China Resources can't afford that much money, it doesn't mean that Li Dong can't.
Of course, it is impossible for Li Dong to be now.
Let’s talk about it first. Lao Li may not necessarily think of selling Baijia at this time, but he will first promote the distant threat theory from the outside world and then discuss the sale later, so it will be much easier to talk about.
Winning the Top 100 means that Li Dong has opened up the Hong Kong and Macao markets and the southernmost market in the mainland.
In addition, after winning Gome, Li Dong was really invincible in China.
Bailian, Suning, China Resources...
These companies are strong, but they are incomparable with the strength of Yuanfang, Carrefour, Gome, Baby Band, Times....
With online supplements, what Li Dong has to do next is to wait for the resource integration to be completed.
At present, the biggest problem in the distance is not actually the enemy outside, but the internal one.
Because it has risen too fast and has too many companies incorporated, the resources have not been completely integrated, and its competitiveness seems to be slightly weaker.
Otherwise, there is no need to be afraid of Suning and Bailian after the integrated Yuanfang Retail.
After completing the layout of the entire China, let’s talk about the international market at that time. Anyway, Li Dong can completely dominate the retail industry in the domestic market.
Chen Qian said a little powerlessly: "You haven't even won Gome yet, and you have started to play Baijia again.
Li Dong, I don’t know whether you should say that you are ambitious or lack of greed.
If you do this, you will win Gome and win 1000, and you may start to have another company.
This kind of crazy expansion makes you not tired, and the group really needs rest.
After five years of expansion, people are tired.
Now, the reason why everyone can persist is because they see the dawn of dominating China.
However, the competition in the international market is more intense than that in the domestic market.
In a short period of time, there is no hope of dominating the international community. At that time, everyone should be exhausted."
Li Dong thought about it after hearing this, nodded and said, "That's right, but let's see this later.
Now I will settle the domestic situation first. Besides, winning the Baijia is just an idea. Lao Li has a big appetite and I don’t want to spend more money, so I may not be able to reach an agreement.
I'll just test it first now and then I'll see it."
After saying that, Li Dong smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. I'll call a few times and ask Lao Ma if they see photos of my fleet."
Seeing Li Dong get up and going to call, Chen Qian looked black!
Now, is it time to show off?
The Gome matter has not been discussed yet!
You don’t ask about Wankatong!
Do you care about the Weibo international war? Do you still have the intention to show off with Ma Yun and the others?
Chen Qian was speechless. Seeing that he was really going to the balcony to call, she shook her head and sighed: "You call, I'll go out to ask about the situation on the Huang family."
"Okay, I'll call you after I call."
Li Dong replied and started dialing numbers on his own.
After talking to Ma Yun and the others for a few words, Li Dong looked at the room and said that Chen Qian was not here and could not come back for a short time. Only then did Li Dong breathe and dial a number again.
I just said that I was nonsense with Ma Yun and the others, but I was just showing off for Chen Qian.
Today is the 3rd, Laba Festival.
Yuan Xue’s birthday today, Li Dong can’t leave now and has no way to go to the United States, but he can’t take it as such.
Last time, they finally managed to hold them up by playing rogues. If they didn't even ask about their birthday, Yuan Xue wouldn't have to say goodbye to him completely.
