Chapter 1373 Two Horses Consensus(1/2)
No matter how lively the topic is, it will end.
With the arrival of Lantern Festival, the work and the school starts, and the store in the long-distance area is closed, which soon becomes a thing of the past.
It was just a week, but it didn't suddenly go bankrupt.
If the distant place suddenly goes bankrupt now, it is worth talking about it. It is closed for a week and is not worth long-term discussion and attention.
...
Just as others were busy celebrating the Lantern Festival, Li Dong secretly rushed to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
He has been paying attention to the situation in the capital these days, and finally found that even if he took a step back, he was still a thorn in the eyes of many people.
Self-inspection from afar, and government agencies are invited to assist.
As a result, the more questions are checked.
In fact, Li Dong is not surprised. No shopping mall can't find any problem. The key is whether you want to check it or not.
If you really achieve perfect companies, wait for losses to die.
He took a step back and threatened with evacuation, but he still could not resist such an attack. Li Dong felt that he should stop playing as soon as possible.
In the capital, he took another big step now, and he wanted to see what would happen in the end.
Three or five years later, the physical store market was in a downturn, and I might kill it again without any effort.
Li Dong also has his own ideas for not giving up on physical stores.
A single physical store has a lot of difficulty in survival, but with e-commerce, it focuses on online and offline modes, and there is still room for survival.
Haven’t you seen that e-commerce giants will eventually penetrate into the physical direction?
Both are not easy to survive in a single situation. Only by combining them can they have greater competitiveness.
This trip to the Shanghai Stock Exchange is completely confidential.
There was no news from Li Dong’s contact with the municipal government.
The Shanghai Municipal Government can actually understand Li Dong's confidentiality attitude, but the more this happens, the happier the Shanghai Municipal Government.
Li Dong went to Shanghai in secret, obviously because he really had this idea, rather than a fake move.
Previously, many people in the Shanghai Stock Exchange doubted whether Li Dong was taking advantage of the situation?
If he really takes advantage of the situation, Li Dong should go to Shanghai with great fanfare this time, instead of negotiating the entry with the Shanghai Stock Exchange in a confidential manner.
Gome’s headquarters was relocated, and it was a company with a market value of up to 50 billion!
In addition, Yuanfang Retail expands its investment in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, which is equivalent to introducing a company with assets of more than 50 billion yuan, which is by no means a trivial matter.
The leaders who met with Li Dong in the Shanghai Stock Exchange agreed happily to Li Dong's confidentiality request.
Although this kind of thing can't be hidden for too long, Li Dong's requirements are not high, and one week is enough.
I really want to hide it for a week, but it’s still OK.
...
On February 12, Li Dong returned from the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
After two days of going back and forth, few people noticed where Li Dong had been in the past two days.
In the past few days, the senior executives in the distance have been mysterious. In addition, many retail companies’ heads have come to Pingchuan. The annual meeting in the distance is about to come, and everyone is paying more attention to this super annual meeting in the distance.
A large-scale annual meeting of 100,000 people is unheard of in Jiangbei.
In the past two days, employees from afar have rushed to Pingchuan one after another, and because of the shutdown in Beijing, hundreds of buses even drove at one time, carrying employees attending the annual meeting.
The hearts of Pingchuan people have long been attracted by the distant annual meeting, and subconsciously ignore Li Dong.
...
At noon on the 12th, Li Dong rushed back to the Yuanfang Building.
As soon as he came back, Chen Lang rushed over and said, "Mr. Li, everyone is almost here. Should I hold a meeting in advance?
If tomorrow, some retail giants may come here.”
Li Dong looked at the time and said, "Who has arrived?"
"Many, the top 100 retail companies have also come to many, Shandong Province, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Yintai, Henan Province Dennis, Jin Province Metehao, Xiangnan Jiahui Department Store..."
Chen Lang reported the names of more than a dozen companies, and then said: "There are many other small and medium-sized enterprises, and there are a total of hundreds of them.
Mr. Li, let alone anything else, the retail companies that came this time may occupy half of the retail industry in China."
Li Dong laughed and said, "It's just an exaggeration. There are only hundreds of companies. In fact, the real big head of China Retail is still a scattered small business.
Just talk about Beijing, the retail industry's turnover exceeded 500 billion last year!
How many are we ranked among the top in the distance, or even the top three?
7 billion!
The top ten are less than 50 billion in total, so it’s just a hundred companies, so there is no market share.
But there are too many people, and it becomes chaotic.
There are enough companies and many people, and everyone gets a share of the pie, so there are not many that are on our side.
With only about a hundred schools of thought, we have to eliminate some of the people with bad reputation and insufficient influence.
Moreover, the localities cannot overlap. If the two companies are the biggest competitors in the local area, will we choose to give up and continue to compete?
First- and second-tier cities have been divided up by retail giants. This time we focus on companies in third- and fourth-tier cities.
Others that are not large enough, so don't do this time.
Even if you want it, you have to talk about it later.”
Chen Lang frowned slightly when he heard this, "Then some of these people still have to be eliminated. There are probably only fifty or sixty families who can really participate.
And in the end, some companies will definitely disagree. I think it would be amazing if there are thirty of them that can participate in the end."
Li Dong smiled and said, "This is just right, and this is also my expected value.
There are so many that we can't be busy either.
Cooperation does not mean we don’t care. Since we have gained the reputation of a joint venture in the distance, some things are our responsibility.
I don’t expect to make money this time, but I can’t ruin my reputation from afar.
Let’s do this, if you make an appointment with everyone in the evening, you will say I’ll treat you to a meal.
I don’t go anywhere else, I just have a canteen in the distance, and I don’t force anyone who doesn’t come!”
Chen Lang nodded quickly and said, "I understand, by the way, Mr. Li, what he said this time is, I am worried that the news will be leaked, so it will be a little troublesome?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "It's okay, just try to ensure that it won't leak. Even if it leaks, you must ensure that this time can be completed in one go!
Don't give others a chance to destroy!
OK, go and notify the other party, and you will all attend the evening.
If this time comes, our position will be completely solid.”
Chen Lang had a little sweaty palms, but this kind of thing had never happened.
No company has such great ambitions to be the uncrowned king in a traditional industry!
Internet companies still have hope, but industry cannot.
Industrial coverage is too difficult. Generally speaking, even if it reaches a trillion-dollar scale, it is impossible to cover the entire China, let alone monopolize the market.
Taking several major banks as an example, the industry leader, the industry leader, cannot achieve monopoly.
There are still several companies following behind, although this is a government need, it is enough to show that the uncrowned king is not that easy to do.
And Li Dong's purpose is now for this.
There is a possibility of success, but in Chen Lang's view, the possibility of failure is greater.
It’s hard to reconcile everyone. Everyone is used to being their own decisions. Now there is a mother-in-law who is taking care of it. Really no one cares about this?
If Li Dong set up a loose alliance, it would be fine.
But Li Dong didn't want this. As soon as he opened his mouth, he could not ruin his reputation in the distance, which was enough to show that many things were.
Without supervision, how do you know whether it is corrupt or not?
And with supervision, it has already involved everyone's fundamentals.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Lang said in a deep voice: "I will notify them immediately."
"Go, success or failure doesn't matter. If you can't be the uncrowned king, then we will be the real king!
It’s just a matter of time. At worst, it can take another ten or twenty years, and we can wait!"
Chen Lang focused his attention, but it was still exciting enough in the distance.
He has never been so nervous and has never been so expectant in China Resources for so many years.
Although sometimes I feel too nervous and feel that my heart can't stand it, for business elites, this is the life they are looking forward to.
