The establishment of the retail alliance was much smoother than expected.

On the afternoon of the 13th, six companies chose to sign a memorandum.

So far, in less than a day, a total of 19 retail companies chose to join the community of interests in the distance.

Although Bailian, Suning, and China Resources are all in Pingchuan now.

However, their existence is not enough to change something.

Online and offline, these companies do not have any advantages, influence or fame, and these companies are not as great as they are currently in the distance. As for their comprehensive strength, the distance is also better. In addition to having no government background, the distance is completely victorious.

However, it is not difficult to obtain a government background now and far away.

If Li Dong is willing, he can sell part of his equity to the SASAC at any time.

In the past, people might have thought it was impossible.

And now, since Li Dong has done the first time, why can’t he have a second time?

So many companies have considered it and finally chose to compromise.

Since Li Dong wants to be the overlord and the alliance leader, then let him do it.

As long as he has a lot of money from everyone, it will not prevent everyone from making money, and even bring you more money, many mother-in-laws who are not very responsible on the other side may not be tolerated.

...

Just when the outside world is still speculating and talking.

On the night of the 13th.

On the last night of the annual meeting, Li Dong secretly made an appointment with Hong Ji.

Lanshan Club.

Since Xu Shengzhe took the club and the Jinding Club has closed down and rectified, if Li Dong goes out for an event and has a dinner party, he will usually choose here.

The purpose of Lanshan Club is not to make money and gather connections, but it was even a place for daily sports between Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe.

Later, it was impossible to resist the frequent proposals for joining, and Lanshan Club began to open to the public.

Even so, there are very few people who can enter the Lanshan Club, and non-acquaintances are not open.

When Hong Ji arrived, there were not many people in the club.

The huge club, although it is brilliantly lit, is extremely deserted.

Under the leadership of the staff, Hong Ji walked around and looked around, but in the end he couldn't help saying, "This is the Lanshan Club? Didn't it mean that Mr. Li and Mr. Xu often come here? Why are they so deserted?"

The staff said proudly: "This place is not open to the public. There are no more than 30 people in Jiangbei who can enter the club.

You can only enter unless you are particularly important guests and have the consent of Mr. Li and Mr. Xu.

Before Mr. Hong came, Mr. Li said hello in advance. Tonight, the club will only be open to Mr. Hong.”

Hong Ji said a little astonished: "The honor is so great."

A large club covering an area of ​​dozens of acres is only open to itself. The rich people of these private enterprises are indeed rich and willful.

If it were a state-owned enterprise, let alone a hundred billion yuan, even the head of a large state-owned enterprise of a trillion-level level would not be able to do this.

Even if you can do it, it will be sneaky and dare not make it public.

Kelanshan Club is actually quite famous.

Now it seems that these guys are really not concerned about money. It is better to say that the entire club is their private living room.

Because I don’t entertain others, there is naturally no need to go to any private room.

The staff led Hong Ji to a medium-sized living room, knocked on the door lightly, and then signaled Hong Ji to take a look and turn and leave.

In the reception room, Li Dong was looking through some information.

When he heard the sound, he looked up and smiled, "Mr. Hong is here, let's sit down."

Hong Ji entered the door, found a place to sit down, and smiled and said, "Mr. Li will really enjoy it. Today I will benefit from it, so I will enjoy it."

Li Dong laughed and said, "Enjoy?"

To be honest, none of these makes any sense to me.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of home, I would rather have a chat with Mr. Hong at home.

This place is just Xu Shengzhe who likes to come and show off, and I rarely come here."

Hong Ji laughed and then said seriously: "Mr. Li..."

He was about to get to the point, but Li Dong got up and poured him a glass of red wine, and smiled and said, "Xu Shengzhe's personal treasures have been hidden from me. I took them out by myself. If you try it, I really don't understand the red wine.

If there is something good, we will destroy it tonight."

When Hong Ji heard this, he couldn't help but glance at the wine bottle, and then waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Mr. Li is so polite. I don't understand these things very much, so let's forget it."

Hong Ji is naturally humble. As the boss of Huachuang, he has seen a lot of worlds.

As soon as I looked at the bottle, Hong Ji knew that if this glass of wine was tens of thousands.

Tens of thousands of yuan are actually nothing to them, it is just Xu Shengzhe’s personal treasure. So let’s forget it, so as not to be hated by Xu Shengzhe.

Li Dong ignored him and took a sip on his own, then smiled and said, "The taste is average, I don't understand the taste of you people. Maybe I'm out of date.

Forget it, the wine is here, drink it if you want, otherwise it will be a waste.

Not to mention this, Mr. Hong is probably confused about it when he comes tonight.

I just sent you out in the morning, and quietly invited you to come in the evening. Are you surprised?"

Hong Ji chuckled and said, "Since Mr. Li asked me to come, there must be something to say, but it's okay to say it.

We are still partners now, and among large retail companies, we should be the closest relationship."

“That’s true.”

Li Dong smiled, tapped the armrest of the sofa, and thought for a while before saying, "Before I talked about things, I asked a little pretentious question. How much right does Mr. Hong have to say now in Huachuang?"

Hong Ji frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "The headquarters has not intervened in retail matters.

Unless it has a big relationship, Huachuang can make the decision on its own.”

"Then the last time you replaced some of Bailian's stores, it was your own idea? Or was it the opinions of China Resources headquarters?"

Hong Ji's heart moved and pondered for a moment: "We propose decisions and headquarters supervise. As long as there is no violation of the law, the headquarters will respect our own choices."

Li Dong smiled at this time and said, "That's good. I'm still worried that Mr. Hong will not be able to make this decision, so it will be useless to say anything tonight.

Now we are both, I don’t tell Mr. Hong about any twists and turns.

In the distance, now because of cooperation with many companies, some stores have overlapped and some resources have been wasted.

As for me, I want to close the door, but I can't bear to close it.

After all, our cooperation with other companies is just cooperation, not our own industries far away.

But it doesn't close, but other companies think we are robbing their business.

I thought about it for a while and that companies without competitors will not last long.

Since we have become a family, it is difficult to compete with each other anymore.

So I want to replace some stores with China Resources. Of course, Mr. Hong is worried that the stores we are going to replace this time are all located in first-tier cities and have excellent locations.

Making money is absolutely profitable. If it weren't for soothing people's hearts, I would never have given up.

This is not a false statement, Mr. Hong will know by then.

Because China Resources has cooperation with us, the first thing I consider is China Resources.

Mr. Hong, do you think this suggestion can be valid?”

Hong Ji frowned and said for a while: "Industry replacement?"

"Yes, talking about money is hurting your relationship. I don't want to invest in your China Resources, and I don't want to invest in your shares in me.

Instead of making trouble in the later stage, it is better to just replace it directly and equally.

Of course, I will explain in advance that I am going to replace some stores in the northern region, and I will not sell them in the southern region.

And I am thinking of replacing some stores in the southern region…”

"impossible!"

Before Hong Ji could finish his words, he shook his head and said, "Mr. Li, this won't work.

Let’s not talk about whether your store is helpful to us. Even if there are any, we will consider it carefully when it comes to asset issues.

Especially when China Resources is a state-owned enterprise, a little carelessness will cause a series of problems.

The replacement with Bailian is because we are both state-owned enterprises and some things can be avoided.

If you can replace industries with private enterprises, it will definitely arouse opposition from many people, including the problem of the loss of some state-owned assets.

It’s not that I don’t want to, even if you communicate with Mr. Song now, the same result will be.

Especially if you want to use stores in the north to replace our southern industries..."
