Chapter One Thousand and One: Prepare for a Rainy Day

Will you bring your girlfriend to participate?

Regarding this question, Li Dong thought for a while before saying: "Let's talk about it."

Besides?

How can I say it again?

The reporters really wanted to dig deeper, but Li Dong just dropped the words, and no one dared to stop him.

The media was full of disappointment, but they also paid more attention to the upcoming charity night. They didn't believe that Li Dong would go there alone on the charity night.

No matter how well hidden, there are always some clues.

As for whether it was Shen Qian, some people had speculated, but they didn't dare to ask directly. Many people knew Shen Qian's identity. It was better not to expose this identity, otherwise it would not be published in the newspaper.

...

The Distant Suppliers Conference started, and the first day was just the opening.

In the future, we will continue to discuss cooperation in depth, especially this time Yuanfang has thrown out an order of 5 billion, and many people want to win it.

Business is hard to do now, and even if the 5 billion yuan gets a share, many companies will be able to survive this year's crisis unscathed.

In addition to talking about orders, another big event is the next promotion month.

For a full month of big promotions, the target bottom line of Yuanfang Mall is 12 billion monthly revenue. Tan Haiying, the general manager of the mall, even issued a death order internally, with a guarantee of 15 billion, and strive to 18 billion, exceeding 20 billion!

At the beginning, Li Dong answered the reporter's question at the airport, and what he said was plausible, and the promotion month hit Taobao 10 billion!

Taobao’s current average monthly revenue is between 8 billion. This time Taobao will also participate in the event, and at least it can exceed 10 billion in revenue.

This is still less to say, in fact, it will only be more.

Even if there is only 10 billion in revenue, Yuanfang can't reach 20 billion, how can you beat the opponent's 10 billion gap?

The ruthless words have been released, if it cannot be realized, it will be shameful for Li Dong, but Tan Haiying and the others are even more shameless.

Especially Tan Haiying, who hasn't joined Yuanfang for a long time, has to make some achievements.

It was Shao Yibo who introduced her back then, and the relationship between the two has always been very good, but if she couldn't achieve results, she would not only lose face alone.

Not only that, ebay was defeated by Taobao at the beginning, Tan Haiying, as one of the founders, is she really reconciled?

Ebay was defeated, and Yuanfang Mall could not be defeated again. It was defeated twice by the same person. No matter what others said, Tan Haiying also had no face to see Jiangdong's elders.

So when negotiating with major suppliers in the afternoon, Tan Haiying said to everyone, "Reduce by two points, how much will be sold in the promotion month, and then I will double the order for you!"

In other words, if you sold 100 million goods in the promotion month, Yuanfang will give you an additional 200 million orders.

Reduced by two points, and sold 100 million to earn 2 million less, but there were 200 million more orders, and the 2 million came back.

There is no loss of money, the key is to increase orders and get more.

In 2008, a large number of manufacturers were downsizing, firing employees and closing factories.

There are so many more orders, which means that the employees can continue to work in the future, and the factory does not need to be closed. Even if it does not make money, it is actually making money.

Others are downsizing, but they are working overtime to produce, this is the gap.

Once Tan Haiying made this condition, she was blocked by people and couldn't get out for the next few days.

In the end, Sun Tao even came to Li Dong to complain, "I can't live through this day!"

...

"Why can't we pass?"

At this time, Li Dong was on the phone with Qin Yuhan. Qin Yuhan was wrapping up the past two days and would be able to make arrangements for the dessert house and return soon.

Halfway through the call, Sun Tao rushed to kill him.

Li Dong and Qin Yuhan chatted a few more words, hung up the phone and said with a smile: "Brother Sun, who provoked you?"

"Boss Tan!"

Sun Tao was a little frustrated, and said angrily: "This time, the group's new order of 5 billion was originally prepared for the promotion of Carrefour stores.

Now it's good, 5 billion orders, the mall suddenly stopped 4 billion!

What about the supermarket?

Mr. Li, a bowl of water can be flat. It’s true that the sales of the mall are increasing, but the supermarket is not bad, right?

our supermarket,

Now with the merger and acquisition of Carrefour, the monthly revenue is nearly 10 billion.

I also want to wait until Carrefour's card exchange is over and play an event, but all the orders are robbed by the mall, which is too bullying. "

The supply of supermarkets does not increase just as you say.

The new 5 billion supply quota requires professionals to calculate a little bit before finally giving a safety line.

In other words, the addition of 5 billion should ensure that Yuanfang can eat it without slowing down sales.

If you increase the amount, there will be risks.

Promotion doesn't mean that your supermarket can do it if you want, but you have to obtain the consent of most suppliers to cooperate, so that the supermarket can be profitable.

Otherwise, even if you sold 5 billion things, you would end up making no money, or even losing money, who would like that.

It's not a price war, regardless of cost.

With normal promotional activities, supermarkets will still make money, and the discounted portion will be passed on to the suppliers.

And 5 billion is also the result of rigorous calculation based on this foundation.

Whether Yuanfang will increase the order quota again in the second half of the year is hard to say.

That's why Sun Tao hastily came to Li Dong to file a complaint. All the new orders have been given to the mall. Will there be any supermarket activities?

Seeing that Sun Tao was in a hurry, Li Dong comforted him: "Brother Sun also needs to understand this promotion month in the mall. As for the order to the mall, I also agree.

However, only half of the year has passed, and it will be too early for Carrefour to change its license plate.

After Carrefour's brand change is over, whether to add orders at that time does not mean that it is decided now.

If the business is good at that time, just add it. "

"But……"

Sun Tao wanted to say a few more words, but he swallowed it after thinking about it, and changed the subject after a while: "But the promotion time in the mall is too long, and after a month, it will have a great impact on the supermarket business.

Mr. Li, I think the time can be shortened in the future, and it will last for a month, and everyone will be tired of consumption in the later period.

And it's been a long time, and everyone doesn't cherish it..."

Sun Tao was right about this point, a month in a row was indeed a long time.

The far side is actually fine. This year, we don’t have to operate at a loss like last year.

Last year, it was mainly due to the subsidy provided by Yuanfang, which fought against various e-commerce companies, resulting in losses.

This year, the cost is mainly borne by the suppliers.

But one month, there are still many merchants who can't bear it.

There are only 12 months in a year, plus the anniversary, National Day, and Spring Festival, the time for activities is too long, and everyone will be exhausted.

This is still far away, rich and powerful, Li Dong provides subsidies from time to time, and can also get the biggest preferential policies from suppliers.

Some small e-commerce companies are afraid to participate now.

Last year's 7.18 promotion, many small e-commerce companies were staring at the loss, and hadn't attracted many people. This year, these people are afraid to accompany Yuanfang.

It is actually not Li Dong's goal to weaken small and medium-sized e-commerce companies.

The existence of these people has actually promoted the prosperity of the e-commerce market, and they are not the ones who really want to be suppressed.

Thinking of this, Li Dong pondered for a moment and said: "That's true, but this year's event has been announced, and it can't be changed now.

Let's start next year. Three days of activities will be enough for 718 next year. "

Sun Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was relieved, Li Dong said with a half-smile: "Brother Sun, don't keep staring at the supermarket.

The growth of the e-commerce market is the general trend, and no one can change it.

Moreover, Yuanfang will realize unified online and offline pricing sooner or later. In fact, supermarkets and e-commerce will be managed in an integrated way, and there will be no big difference.

The supermarket is the foundation of our business. I know this, and I also understand your feelings for the supermarket.

But only by standing tall can we see far, keep up with the trend of the times, and not be eliminated by the market is what we have to do.

After a while, I may make a large-scale change.

Yuanfang Mall, Yuanfang Logistics, and Yuanfang Supermarket, these three major parts, I will probably merge into a new group company. "

"merge?"

Sun Tao couldn't help being surprised, the merger of these three major businesses?

You know, these three businesses are all the major businesses of the Yuanfang Group. If they are merged, then this sub-group will almost empty out the essence of the Yuanfang Group.

But after thinking about it carefully, he also understood what Li Dong meant.

This is to create a complete o2o system, online shopping malls, offline supermarkets, and transit logistics. If they really want to be merged, it seems that there is nothing unreasonable.

After pondering for a while, Sun Tao frowned slightly and said, "But in this way, the newly established sub-group is too powerful."

Subgroups are too powerful, which is actually not a good thing.

In the future, whoever controls the voice of the sub-group will almost be able to stand up to the president of the group.

This is not conducive to the unity of the group, and in the end there may be a situation where the tail is too big to lose.

Li Dong also nodded and said: "I'm still thinking about this, of course, this matter can't be decided overnight.

I have to wait until the real estate company grows bigger, and the other businesses of Yuanfang Technology grow bigger, then I will reintegrate.

It may not be so divided, or the establishment of a new group with retail as the main body, this is not sure.

The current four subsidiaries still overlap in some areas.

Especially in the area of ​​e-commerce and supermarkets, storage centers are used in combination, dual management, and in terms of logistics, the distribution centers and logistics of supermarkets cannot cooperate with each other, and separate management results in waste of resources.

In short, the management cost alone costs a lot more every year.

Regarding these, I have been thinking about how to change them recently.

But don't worry, this time I will ask for everyone's opinions, and ask experts to help us sort out the system, and make a decision without patting your head.

Wait a few more months, and I may implement it when Carrefour stabilizes. "

Sun Tao was thoughtful, and when Carrefour stabilized, Chen Lang would probably come back.

If it is implemented at that time, everyone's positions may change to a certain extent.

Establishing a new sub-group, merging some departments, whoever goes and who stays, whoever is promoted and whoever is demoted, these are not trivial matters.

If it is not handled properly, it is likely to cause opposition and resentment from a large number of people.

But he can't say too much about these things. The personnel affairs in the distance are all in Li Dong's mind. What Li Dong thinks, he is not very clear now.

Sun Tao didn't say anything more, chatted with Li Dong for a few more words and was ready to go out.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Li Dong suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Brother Sun, you will also go to the charity night tomorrow."

"I?"

Sun Tao didn't quite understand, but he nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll go there then."

"Well, it's time to show up, too low-key is not in line with your identity.

There are more bosses here this time, so deal with them more and expand your network. "

In fact, Sun Tao still doesn't quite understand it, but it doesn't matter, it's not a bad thing.

After answering a few times, Sun Tao left the office.

As soon as he left, Li Dong also fell into deep thought.

The reason why Sun Taoliang made an appearance was because Li Dong was also preparing for the future.

He is going to finish the two years of work, and gradually withdraw from group management, learn from other bigwigs, and save himself from dragging himself to the company.

But once he leaves, who will be at the helm in the distance becomes a big problem.

Yuan Chengdao has gradually stabilized in the past two years, but Yuan Chengdao and Li Dong are not too relieved. What happened to Gome made him feel a little palpitating.

As soon as Lao Huang entered in the previous life, Cheng Xiao, who succeeded him, began to de-yetidize.

If Lao Huang hadn't opened up the relationship and had someone behind him to support him, first let his wife out of prison, and then he started to take the helm in prison, maybe he would have been kicked out by Cheng Xiao.

Once kicked out, Lao Huang's importance is not great.

Without Gome, Lao Huang has nothing but money, and can enjoy it safely?

The reason why he was able to stay safe and sound inside was that Gome helped Lao Huang a lot. Without Gome, it would be hard to say what would happen to Huang.

Although Li Dong felt that he would not fall to this point, he was careful and there was no serious problem.

Gome can go to Huang, can't it go to Li from afar?

Now the top executives of the group, he can really trust 100%, in fact, only Sun Tao.

There are many reasons for this, fighting the world together, the only foreign shareholder of Yuanfang Supermarket, and feelings for the group...

Of course, there is another point, no background, only relying on Li Dong, Sun Tao can get to where he is now.

For various reasons, once Li Dong fades away, Sun Tao is actually the best candidate to succeed him.

To go to Li is actually to go to Sun. Once Sun Tao also betrays, he will definitely be accused by everyone in the future.

So now Li Dong is actually cultivating Sun Tao as the second chairman of the group, dealing more with big business figures, so that he can take care of him in the future.

As for Yuan Chengdao, the position of president has come to an end, and Li Dong will not hand over the group to him, even if he is as capable as anyone else.

It seems that Li Dong seems to be unnecessary, and the sense of crisis is too strong.

But it's better to be prepared than to be caught off guard. In this world, if you don't count others, others may or won't count you.

Li Dong knows that there are not many people who hate him now, but it's just not convenient for him to do so for the time being.

In 2008, Li Dong was so popular that few people dared to trick him.

Not now, doesn't mean there won't be in the future.

Some people are like clowns now, and if they don't make it right in the future, they will give him a fatal blow.

In recent years, Li Dong has offended too many people.

Figures flashed in my mind, Zhang Qing, Chen Rui, Yao Hong, Chang Qiqi, Zhu Yicai, Yu Le, Sun Manman, Han Yu...

Some of these people are not worth mentioning, while others have deep roots.

Today is not the ancient times, you can be happy with your grievances, and you can kill them all if you have an enmity, so as to avoid future troubles.

If you fail to kill with one blow, you have to be prepared to be retaliated.

Thinking of this, Li Dong rubbed his forehead. Now, he has no way out except to go forward indomitably. For more exciting novels from rw, welcome to visit our reading institute
