When Li Dong heard Sun Tao say that someone was deliberately targeting the distance, he knew that the trouble was coming.

And this trouble is inevitable, and cannot be solved by tolerance and regression.

The mall is like a battlefield, and the market is so big. If you want to make money, others want to make money. If you don’t kill you, you will be yourself.

Li Dong wanted to dominate Pingchuan or even Jiangbei, which was the main source of the contradiction.

Moreover, this contradiction is irreconcilable unless Li Dong is willing to give up most of the benefits, but this kind of thing that harms oneself and others is naturally not something that Li Dong can do.

Li Dong thought for a while and said, "Do you know which company did it?"

Sun Tao smiled bitterly and said, "It's not one, I suspect it's all involved."

This matter is not a matter of one or two. If dozens of stores in the distance are really opened, Pingchuan will not have the space for others to live.

At this moment, the weak naturally form an alliance.

There is no need to come forward to do anything. Everyone is on a united front and cannot let the distance continue so smoothly.

There are more than 30 stores, plus the few that are currently available, there are more than 40 stores in total.

Pingchuan has four districts and five counties under its jurisdiction. The place is so large and the population is so large. If you are stuck in the distance, no one else will live.

After hearing what Sun Tao said, Li Dong had a headache.

It doesn’t matter if several large supermarkets in Pingchuan get involved, it will be really hard to deal with.

Compared to strength, the distance now is naturally better than these branches.

But don’t forget that they have a backend, with strong backend and strong funds. If they really want to fight hard, they may not be opponents in the distance.

No matter how headaches are, things must be handled in time.

Otherwise, if you drag on it, the trouble may be even greater.

Li Dong tapped the table with his fingers, picked up a flat map of Pingchuan from the table and looked at it for a while.

Then he said to Sun Tao: "Tell me about the progress of the new store."

Sun Tao immediately said: "Now Pingchuan is building a total of 34 stores, including Longhua stores and five convenience stores, a total of 40 stores."

"There are one first-level stores, one second-level stores, three third-level stores, five fourth-level stores, sixteen fourth-level stores, and fifteen fifth-level stores..."

"The 34 newly built stores were divided into two batches and put into construction, with 18 of them now close to completion. Other stores will be almost completed before the end of the year."

Although Sun Tao handed over the store construction matter to Wang Yue, he never let it go.

When Li Dong asked, Sun Tao answered very well and knew all the data well.

While listening, Li Dong marked the map.

Soon the map was covered with all kinds of small dots, some red, some green, and some black.

Sun Tao glanced at the map, compared with reality, and quickly distinguished what each point represents.

The red dots represent supermarkets in Pingchuan except for the far away, the green dots represent supermarkets that are already open in the far away, and those that are nearly completed, while the other black dots are stores that cannot be completed for the time being.

Sun Tao didn't care about it yet, but when he saw it, Sun Tao frowned.

The distribution of these green dots is very interesting, except that the Longhua store is unique.

Other green dots surrounded the red dots, and at first glance, the red dots looked particularly eye-catching.

Sun Tao frowned first, then realized it, and soon sighed in his heart.

Are you really old?

When he built stores in batches before, Sun Tao thought Li Dong was a randomly designated store. Now it seems that Li Dong had long been thinking about forcing the palace.

Once these green dot-marked stores are opened, they can't even turn their backs on them.

It’s really Li Dong that is too much. Isn’t this obviously not giving people a way out?

At this time, we can’t blame others for making trouble, we can only blame Li Dong for being too impatient and having long had the intention of killing others.

Li Dong didn't care what Sun Tao thought. Sun Tao guessed well. He really wanted to solve other supermarkets.

Even if they cannot force them to close their businesses, they cannot give them a chance to expand.

Li Dong's purpose was to retract their claws and trap them in a corner.

But Li Dong didn't expect those people to rebound so quickly, and they started to tamper before he could open his business.

Of course, others are not fools. If you analyze it carefully, most people can guess Li Dong’s purpose, so it is certain to have a counterattack.

After thinking carefully for a while, Li Dongdao: "How is the recruitment of personnel now?"

"At the beginning, one hundred employees were recruited and now they are internship training in various branches."

"not enough!"

Li Dong frowned and said, "There are too few people in one hundred people. A third-level store requires almost one hundred people to support it, and the second-level store has more staff. Let's take another step, and all eighteen stores will be officially opened at the beginning of next month!"

"Mr. Li!"

Sun Tao's face turned pale and he smiled bitterly: "This matter is too urgent!"

How many people do you need to have to satisfy the eighteen stores?

Even if there are Level 4 and Level 5 stores, there are Level 2 and Level 3 stores. Eighteen stores require at least seven or eight hundred people.

To recruit so many people at once, not to mention the difficulty of recruiting people, the key is that the financial pressure is too great.

For the sake of these stores and the land in Washington, Yuanfang was almost empty, and the bank loans were almost spent. This year, Yuanfang's profits have been invested.

Now that there are so many stores open at one time, there are too many problems and too many troubles.

Manpower, funds, supplies...

This series of problems is a big trouble, and if it is not done properly, it will be counterproductive. It has failed to suppress other supermarkets, but it has dragged itself down.

According to Sun Tao's idea, we should proceed step by step, opening three or two at a time, and only all eighteen stores will be opened until the end of the year.

The remaining stores will have to wait for the beginning of next year to open again. It will be easy to recruit people at that time. After two or three months of adaptation, the previous employees have become mature. This is the right opportunity.

Another point is the source of goods.

With so many stores opened at one time, the previous suppliers were not enough, and they were not a treasury, and there was not so much money for the goods to be spent in the distance.

At this time, it is necessary to redevelop supply channels, and these all take time.

It is now early November and it is almost mid-20 days before the next month. Li Dong’s request is too unreliable.

Li Dong frowned even more, so he naturally knew that it was very difficult.

But now there are many dreams in the night, and those people have already fought back. If they drag on it, they might cause some changes.

According to Li Dong's idea, eighteen stores are now open together, and they are in a strong position. Then they will perform a thunder strike, which is best to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop.

Of course, Li Dong knew that this was not a big possibility, but how could he know if he didn't try it?

After pondering for a moment, Li Dongdao said: "Eighteen companies are not good, then only these ten companies, ten stores should be able to support them."

Sun Tao followed the map Li Dong pointed to, and thought for a while and said, "If the ten families spend some time, they should be fine."

"But why choose these?"

There are now six large supermarkets in Pingchuan, Carrefour, Tesco, Yichu Lotus, RT-Mart, Yonghui, and Century Lianhua.

The ten stores Li Dong chose were surrounded by Carrefour, Tesco and Yichu Lotus.

Yi Chu Lianhua was not very famous at this time, but Sun Tao didn't feel anything.

Jin Ke Carrefour and Tesco are both powerful players. Isn’t it uncomfortable to fight with them?

Li Dong said lightly: "Because these are all exclusive stores!"

After Li Dong said this, Sun Tao immediately understood.

At this time, Carrefour and Tesco had not yet expanded. In Jiangbei, these three stores only had one store in Pingchuan.

Pingchuan’s stores should be considered the bridgehead of three supermarkets. If they can’t force them to stand firm, they may not continue to invest in Jiangbei in the future, and they may shrink back.

The other companies are considered old supermarket companies in Jiangbei, and almost every city has branches.

They have already gained a foothold in Jiangbei, and they will not withdraw easily at this time. Moreover, their background is stronger than the distance. If they really fight to the death, who might be the one who is going to die.

The more Sun Tao wanted to continue, the more feasible he felt.

But after thinking about it more deeply, Sun Tao felt that it was not reliable, and Li Dong was too impatient.

Nowadays, other supermarkets that I want to force cannot survive, and under the same conditions, the final price war is still the one that is fighting.

If you fight so many supermarkets at one time, the money you need is not too much. It is too much loss. Both sides will suffer minor losses. If you don’t get it right, you will lose a lot.

It would be fine if the other party could be forced away. If the stalemate continues, it would be a big loss to grandma's house.

The main reason is that the distance is not confident and there is not much capital flow. In the end, the struggle will definitely lead to failure. If the other three companies take advantage of the situation, the distance will be a big deal.

Sun Tao advised: "Mr. Li, why don't you talk to them, do business, and make money with kindness..."

Li Dong glanced at him and said, "Do you believe this?"

Sun Tao was a little embarrassed, but he still said, "But we really have no money!"
