Chapter 1375 Community of Interests(1/3)
In the cafeteria.
Li Dong didn't care when the few people left.
There are hundreds of companies coming today, but there is no such ability in the distance, and there is no confidence that it can gather so many companies.
Forty or fifty families, this is the limit of the distance.
If there are more, it will drag the distance and cannot form a united front.
After the person left, Li Dong continued: "The words have come to this point, I will say it more clearly!
China's retail companies have never been able to grow bigger and have never been able to go abroad because their power is too dispersed!
And the internal friction is extremely serious!
There is also competition and internal friction abroad, but foreign giant companies have started early and laid the foundation a long time ago.
China is different, with the modern hypermarket model, we have not started for many years.
It sounds good to say that a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend.
To be naughty, that is chaos and disorder!
And today I am not afraid of saying a few more ugly words.
A large part of China's public resources are invested in state-owned enterprises, such as Bailian and China Resources.
However, state-owned enterprises have restrictions and limitations of state-owned enterprises. Whether it is China Resources or Bailian, the desire to expand is not strong. Before China Resources appears in the distance, Bailian is completely a mediocre attitude.
Private enterprises have the intention to expand, but in contrast to state-owned enterprises, we lack talents and funds.
We have few public resources.
Even for loans, banks are first state-owned enterprises and then private ones.
Bailian and China Resources have too much cash flow and they still have time to do real estate, gas, and other things.
And what about us?
We don’t even have the funds to expand our store!
They occupy the best location stores, get the goods at the best prices, have a large number of surplus talents, and never have to worry about funds!
They don’t have to care how much they pay or how much they gain, because profits and losses are all from the country!
Can we compare with them?
cannot!
Everyone here, who has never suffered any hardships when you are here today?
Who didn’t start with the weak and come to the present step by step?
Even Li Dong, although I haven't been doing it for a long time, I have never dared to say that I have suffered too much.
We can have today by creating it with our own hands!
Since state-owned enterprises have no intention of leading China Retail to the international and global market, let us do it ourselves!
A person's power is weak and not enough. Isn't it enough to gather all of us?
Although our distance has not been established for a long time, I, Li Dong, are determined to be this leader and this leader, leading everyone to the international and the world together!
If state-owned enterprises seize our resources, we can grab them back by ourselves!
Since they have to just live by, we will tell them that we will live a better life without you!
Social resources are limited, and if they give one more, we will get one less. But what they give to them is not creating greater value. This is a waste!
Since they have been wasted, don’t give it to them!”
On the field, it was completely silent.
After Li Dong paused, Shen Guojun slowly said: "Always Li is talking about the retail alliance plan?"
Li Dong had told him about this plan before in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
When Shen Guojun heard this, he was also a little moved, so he waited until now and waited for Li Dong to make a decision.
It is not surprising that Li Dong said that he wants to be the leader now.
The alliance plan has been heard a long time ago.
Since the distance wants to establish an alliance and the distance does not become the leader, that is really strange.
Li Dong nodded and said loudly: "Yes, I believe everyone has heard of it, it is about the alliance plan for the retail industry!
Of course, if restrictions are added, it is also possible to say that it is the Huaxia Private Retail Alliance.
Everyone present saw that there is no foreign investment or state-owned enterprises today, and they are all colleagues in the private retail industry in China."
Everyone looked around and nodded.
Chu Dequn pondered for a moment before saying, "Mr. Li, we have heard of the alliance plan. We all know this.
But to be honest, I don't think the effect is very good.
What is the meaning of alliance?
Who is the opponent?
If you are targeted, how to rescue me?
To put it bluntly, people's hearts are complicated. Today we are allies. Tomorrow he will annex you. If you let him not swallow him, then he will not swallow it?
Where is the binding force?
Mr. Li, you said you are the leader, and I agree, but you can really control so many companies?
I'll say it's a little bit ugly. If I want to listen to you, then listen. If I don't want to listen to you, I won't listen to you. Can Mr. Li attack me on a large scale for a small matter?
In this way, what are the benefits besides losing both sides?
So, the alliance can be established, we can all join, but the effect is…”
Chu Dequn shook his head, feeling that Li Dong took it for granted.
Of course, if the retail alliance is really established, Li Dong's voice will definitely increase, but it may not be of much benefit to companies like them joining the alliance.
Now he is an ally. Li Dong wants to expand and swallow them. What else can they do?
Li Dong laughed and said, "Mr. Chu is right. If an alliance is established, it is impossible to have core combat power and core cohesion just by shouting slogans!
In the business world, what do you think is the basis of everything?”
Everyone looked at each other, and after a while, someone was not sure, "Harmony?"
“Social responsibility?”
“…”
Seeing their uncertain appearance, Li Dong shouted: "Nonsense!
It’s not that you don’t know, you dare not say it, it’s hard to say it!
Then I, Li Dong, said it thoroughly that business rules are cruel and ruthless, and the core of everything lies in interests!
As long as we have common interests, we are die-hard allies. If the interests are contrary to each other, no matter how good the personal relationship is, we are also enemies!
The word "interest" is the core and the foundation.
With common interests and demands, we are not a pan-alliance, but a real community of interests, and even an economy!
To put it bluntly, it is not impossible to become the prototype of a consortium!
Based on interests and with distant places as a bond, do you think alliances are really useless?
Nowadays, retail companies are rampant and their competitiveness is increasing.
Repeated investment and waste of resources have become the norm.
In a city, you build a distribution center and I build a distribution center. Have you ever thought that a distribution center can fully meet the logistics and distribution of two or three companies?
In a place, you build a warehouse and I invest in a storage center. Has anyone ever considered that my storage center can meet the needs of all stores within a radius of dozens of miles?
A company is looking for channel dealers to cooperate, and he will give you a 10% discount, and you will be happy like something.
If you are not happy, he can find the next one and your competitors, because you are only a trivial part of his channel supply!
But what about three companies and five companies?
Even hundreds of schools!
At that time, who will control whose channels? Who will control whose lifeline?
I'm not happy if you give me a 30% discount!
The alliance is consistent, reducing the exploitation of secondary and third-level middlemen, reducing unnecessary investment, and reducing unnecessary repeated investment in resources, so that we can have greater competitiveness.
On that day, even if e-commerce has an impact, it will not be too big.
Costs are reduced, management costs are reduced, and resources are not wasted. We can withdraw more funds to develop regions that we have not yet involved.
In the long run, who can still compete with us?
To be continued...
