The First Thousand and Forty-Eight Chapters Combined Vertical and Horizontal
Shen Qian went around the Haomen Primary School in Beijing, but Li Dong didn't know about it at first.
It wasn't until someone called him that Li Dong received the news.
The call was made by Wei Hengzhi, who was also the first son of a wealthy family in the capital that Li Dong knew, and he was regarded as an elite among the three generations.
When Wei Hengzhi made the phone call, Li Dong didn't think much about it at first. After Wei Hengzhi explained the matter in a roundabout way, Li Dong became serious.
Wei Hengzhi on the phone gave Li Dong time to think.
When the time was almost up, Wei Hengzhi said: "It's better to settle the enemies than to end them, this matter has gone too far.
There are many people who are dissatisfied with you now, Li Dong, it is better to stop making trouble. "
"dissatisfied?"
Li Dong didn't say a word at first, but at this moment his voice suddenly raised, and he said in a cold tone: "Who is dissatisfied?
Are you dissatisfied with me, Li Dong? Who are you still dissatisfied with?
What if I really have no temper!
I bear it again and again, do some people think that I am really weak and deceitful!
Now my woman is threatening a few children for me. I am the one who eats soft food, I am the one who is shot, and I am the one who is attacked in business!
Now, there are still people who are dissatisfied with me, Li Dong!
What else do you want?
I'll just distribute the family wealth now and let you share it equally. Is there anyone who is dissatisfied? "
"Li Dong..." Wei Hengzhi didn't expect to say a word, Li Dong suddenly became angry, and said in a daze: "No one meant that, it was all a misunderstanding..."
"Misunderstanding is good, I like misunderstanding!"
Li Dong's face was cold and stern, but his tone gradually softened: "Old Wei, this matter should have nothing to do with you, right?"
"Of course not!"
Wei Hengzhi hastily separated himself, he couldn't get involved in this matter.
Now he is a middleman because he is a son of a wealthy family who has a friendly relationship with Li Dong in the capital, so he is considered the most suitable status.
Others, either lean towards Li Dong or over there.
If you really want to find such a middleman, it will be troublesome.
Li Dong's tone became more relaxed, as if the anger just now was just an illusion, "Old Wei, what do you mean by looking for me now?"
"Let's take a step back, there is no need for both sides to suffer.
It's all for making money, and it's no good to make such a fuss. "
Li Dong said lightly: "Both lose? I don't know about this until now, how can both lose.
Now that I am at a disadvantage, I didn't say anything, and I admit what I should have suffered.
Now that Shen Qian went to the school to take a look around, would it hurt both sides? The other party was really hurt. "
After Li Dong finished speaking, he said: "Okay, I know about this."
"That……"
Wei Hengzhi wanted to ask a few more questions, but finally felt that there was no need to ask any more.
Li Dong is a smart man, he already knew this.
If he was really a fool and a reckless man, Li Dong would not be able to get along now.
Over the years, just look at it and you will understand that Li Dong has offended many people, but who is absolutely suppressing him?
Whether bullying the weak or fearing the strong, or judging the situation, Li Dong generally would not offend those who could not afford to offend.
This time should be no exception, not to mention that the other party is now taking the initiative to make peace.
...
The phone hangs up.
Li Dong originally wanted to call Shen Qian, but in the end he didn't.
After thinking for a while, Li Dong called Tan Yong.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Dong said, "The old man has made arrangements?"
"Well, I sent it back to my hometown."
"You come to Hongdu to meet me now."
"Okay, I'll be there tomorrow."
"By the way, have Wang Cheng and the others withdrawn?"
"Withdrawn, it's time to go back to Jiangbei now."
"Let them come to Hongdu with you to meet me."
Although Tan Yong was a little puzzled, he still responded and did not ask Li Dong why he summoned so many people.
...
the next day.
Early in the morning, Li Dong had just finished his breakfast and was about to go downstairs to the hypermarket when Bai Su came over and whispered, "Mr. Li, Mr. Hong from China Resources has arrived."
"Hongji?"
"Um,
Just downstairs. "
Li Dong wiped his mouth, a little puzzled and said: "Why did he come to see me?"
Li Dong didn't think of coming to Hongdu for a while, which made Hongji a little wary, but he felt that this guy had nothing to do, so he came to see him specially.
Bai Su understood Hong Ji's mentality a little bit, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid Mr. Li is worried about your meddling in Hong Kelong's affairs."
"The heart of a villain!"
Li Dong cursed, and then said: "Let him come over, the hotel is not my house, how can I stop him?"
Bai Su smiled and said nothing, went downstairs to receive Hong Ji.
After a while, Hong Ji came up.
Hong Ji, who is about 40 years old this year, is at the peak of his career.
However, the days may not be very good recently, people have become thinner, and their complexion is a little yellow.
Hong Ji and Li Dong have met several times, and they suppressed Carrefour together at the Carrefour reception before.
The two were not strangers, so Li Dong waited for him to come before he got up and stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Hong, you're negligent."
"I was the one who interrupted."
Hong Ji is usually serious, but today he smiled relaxedly.
Because breakfast was not eaten in the room, and there was no reception area, the two chatted at the dining table.
After chatting for a few words, Hong Ji smiled and said, "The last time we said goodbye, I didn't have time to congratulate Mr. Li on the acquisition of Carrefour, and show off the prestige of our country.
It's been so many years, the first time a Chinese local company has acquired a foreign business, and Mr. Li has created history. "
Li Dong chuckled and said, "Don't mention it, after the acquisition of Carrefour, there are too many things to worry about.
After all, foreign capital and state-owned capital are different, and I am still having a headache about this matter.
Mr. Chen stayed there for several months, and he still has no idea how long it will take to bring Carrefour into the system. "
"I believe Mr. Chen can solve this problem soon."
Hong Ji still believed in Chen Lang's ability. It can be said that most of China Resources Vanguard's brilliance was created under Chen Lang's leadership.
Chen Lang, known as the "King of Mergers and Acquisitions", although it was the first time to acquire a foreign investment business, Hong Ji felt that Chen Lang should not be difficult.
The situation was quite different this time. Carrefour was almost completely defeated and voluntarily withdrew.
On the handover, Carrefour will not cause too much trouble.
Hong Ji praised Li Dong for a few words, but never mentioned anything about Hong Kelong.
Li Dong didn't have much energy to chat with him, he didn't say anything, Li Dong took the initiative to say: "This time China Resources is not small, and I also congratulate Mr. Hong for his success. In the future, Gan Province will be with you and my family again. I also hope that Mr. Hong will take care of him."
The meaning of Li Dong's words almost expressed his attitude.
He has little interest in Hong Kelong.
Hongkelong's strength is not bad, and it is known as the largest retail enterprise in Jiangxi Province.
But the stores that Hongkelong now owns are almost all hypermarkets with an area of more than 20,000 square meters.
If some hypermarkets are mixed in, Li Dong may still be interested.
But all of them, Li Dong is not very interested.
Now with the development of e-commerce, it is actually about to enter the glory period of small businesses.
In Li Dong's view, it is more cost-effective to open some small and medium supermarkets to acquire so many hypermarkets at one time.
And he also has his own plan, Yuanfang wants to build an urban complex, and then open a hypermarket along with the complex.
At this time, it would be a waste of resources to merge and acquire so many hypermarkets.
At another time, Li Dong would still scare the other party. Now he has too many things to do, and he doesn't have time to tangle with the other party.
What Li Dong said so directly made Hong Ji a little worried.
With a slight twinkle in his eyes, Hong Ji also smiled and said, "Boss Li is too modest, it is Yuan Fang who takes care of us."
"Don't dare to be."
Li Dong casually said something perfunctory, and after thinking about it, he said, "I heard that China Resources has started three talks with Bailian and Guangming in Shanghai?"
There is no way to ask this kind of thing face to face, not to mention that the original purpose of the three families was to target the distant place.
Hong Ji was a little embarrassed, and paused before saying: "There is such a meeting, mainly to promote the prosperity of the retail industry..."
"Let's talk nonsense, I, Li Dong, like to be straightforward."
Li Dong interrupted: "I haven't met Mr. Hong before, so I don't bother to mention this matter. Now that I have met, then I will say a few more words."
"China Resources Vanguard has always been No. 2 in the industry, and has always been overwhelmed by Bailian. Am I right about this?"
"this……"
"Now that the three of you are cooperating, even if the cooperation is successful, Bailian will benefit the most.
Even if Agriculture, Industry and Commerce were to be merged, they would only enter Bailian's system.
Mr. Hong, think about it for yourself, will Agriculture, Industry and Commerce become China Resources? "
Hong Ji forced a smile, Li Dong said so directly, he was too embarrassed to continue to be sloppy, and said softly: "It's not very likely."
"Since it's not big, why do you want to get involved? Could it be that the threat from afar is bigger than Bailian?
Hualian, Lianhua, Century Lianhua, Lianhua Kuaike, Hualian Jimaisheng, Hualian Lawson, if you add the brands of Nongshang, such as Haode Convenience...
These brands are going it alone, of course we don't care.
But don't forget that now Bealead is consolidating its brands, and they already have a shopping center under Bealead's own brand.
Once the integration is completed, we all understand how strong Bailian is. Doesn't Mr. Hong not know?
What is Yuanfang, Yuanfang has not established a firm foundation now, does Mr. Hong really think that we can pose a threat to China Resources or who?
Even if we beat us, Bailian still deserves to be number one.
Because without our constraints, Bealead's development is unrestricted, and China Resources may not be as nourished as it is now.
As for your three-party talks, I always feel that China Resources' soy sauce is not up to standard! "
Hong Ji was too embarrassed, this evaluation is really... really spot on!
In fact, in his opinion, the same is true.
You said that Bealead merged with Nongshang, so forget it, and it has nothing to do with China Resources.
Team up to fight against the distance?
Now China Resources has not reached this point. Besides, it is not very reliable to join forces. The first and the second team up to suppress the third?
Yes, although Yuanfang has now acquired Carrefour and is expected to hit the No. 1 position, it is not No. 1 after all.
Suppressed the distance, and then what?
Moreover, China Resources and Yuanfang have the most important business in East China. Even if the three join forces, the greatest possibility is that China Resources will fight on the front line.
As a result, it is likely that after losing both sides, Bailian will continue to eat China Resources.
Anyway, they are all state-owned enterprises. It’s better to be cheaper than others. Can’t Bailian do it?
Although things are not that simple, in general, Huarun really doesn't want to fight Yuanfang at present, so it doesn't make much sense.
Although Hong Ji agreed with Li Dong's thoughts, he still said: "This is also forced by Mr. Li. Mr. Li is too aggressive and aggressive, and we have no choice."
"At that time, if I want to rise, attack is inevitable, after all, the market is divided by you.
Now I want to be stable, and I feel a little untenable when it comes to offense. "
Li Dong glanced at him, saw his noncommittal face, and smiled again: "Of course, I know that saying these things will not dispel everyone's vigilance.
Actually, I didn't mean to say this.
In Mr. Hong's view, within the next year or two, will Yuanfang start a war with Wanjia on a large scale? "
Hong Ji blurted out: "At this time we are going to war, both losers, and the snipe and the clam fight each other for the fisherman's gain."
"That's it, so in fact, we are not the enemy at this stage.
The real enemy is Bailian!
After they merged Agriculture, Industry and Commerce, the next step is probably to increase investment and market competition in East China.
In East China, except for the Shanghai stock market, most of the other places were divided up by you and me.
Mr. Hong felt that Bailian would be willing?
As the largest supermarket in the country, Huadong is still their base camp, and they lost to you and me. Are they willing?
So, after the tripartite talks are over, the first target of the three of you is probably me, and the second target is probably China Resources.
Yuanfang is not a dead person, and I, Li Dong, am not.
At the end of the fight, our two businesses overlap the most. I am afraid that China Resources will be my opponent who dragged me into the water.
After being hit hard by China Resources, can it resist Bailian? "
While Li Dong was talking, Bai Su came over to pour tea.
Li Dong picked up his teacup and took a sip, looked at Hong Ji and said, "It's always only the weak who join forces to resist the erosion of the strongest, there is no reason to seek skin from a tiger.
In your three-party talks this time, in my opinion, China Resources' choice is too stupid.
It is you and me who really have a basis for cooperation.
It is only right for us to cooperate and clean up other supermarkets.
In East China, apart from the fierce competition in the Shanghai stock market, in other places, if we cooperate, is there room for others to survive?
Compress Bealead's business in East China to the Shanghai stock market.
Sweeping small and medium-sized supermarkets and suppressing foreign-funded groups can not only gain profits, but also gain reputation, killing two birds with one stone.
Are you interested in fighting with me?
Fighting back and forth, it is cheaper for others.
Really wait for the day when Bailian is killed, you and I will fight again, at this time who will win, just wait and see.
Mr. Hong, what do you think? "
Hong Ji remained silent, what Li Dong said was partly true and partly confusing.
Team up weakly? Seeking skin from a tiger?
Cooperating with Bailian is seeking skin from a tiger, but is it not cooperating with Yuanfang?
When Bailian and other supermarkets are defeated and the foundation of Yuanfang is firmly established, Yuanfang will be a real tiger at that time.
At this time, Yuan Fang seemed powerful, but in fact it was a little vain.
Like China Resources in the past few years, there is no reason to absorb too many foreign departments so quickly.
Li Dong wants to digest these fruits now, of course he doesn't want to start a war with several giants.
So far away, what about China Resources?
In fact, except for Bailian, China Resources is in the same situation as Yuanfang.
Suguo only entered the China Resources system in 2004, and then China Resources acquired seven or eight companies one after another, and now they want to acquire Hongkelong.
The situation of the two is actually not suitable for a large-scale war at this time.
The situation of Bailian is a bit special. It has not been established for a long time, and there are constant internal disputes.
However, Bailian has the first reputation, and this time due to various reasons, they decided to consolidate their forces.
The speed of their integration may be faster than Yuanfang and China Resources.
If we take down Nongshang, the strength will increase even more. Even if we fail to complete the integration, we will become a real giant, and it will be difficult to shake Bailian's position.
Hong Ji pondered for a moment, then said: "Then what does President Li mean?"
"cooperate."
"Our two?"
"right."
"What is the basis of cooperation?"
"Isn't it enough to allocate the retail market in East China and reduce the living space of Bealead?"
"But we and Bailian..."
Li Dong interrupted: "Have you signed the agreement? Or do you think they are all state-owned enterprises, so they are a family?
I think Mr. Hong is not naive to this point, is he?
With so many state-owned enterprises in the country, there is no competition, are they all a family!
Compared with us, your state-owned enterprises are fighting more fiercely, because we don't have to be responsible to anyone, just be responsible to ourselves.
You still have to be responsible to your superiors. If you do poorly, others do well. There is a comparison.
The history of China Resources is much earlier than Bailian. When Bailian was established, why didn’t Bailian be directly merged into China Resources? In that case, you are the well-deserved number one, and there is no need to fight?
State-owned enterprises also have to compete for resources, markets, and performance.
At this time, the two of you are working together, are you sure Mr. Hong is not joking? "
Hong Ji continued to frowned, but Li Dong didn't care, and said calmly: "If Mr. Hong can't make the decision, then report it.
I think, if we cooperate, someone will be interested.
The top management of China Resources may not all be of one mind with Bailian.
If that’s the case, why do you still play retail, just transfer it to Bailian. China Resources Vanguard was so weak a few years ago, and I haven’t seen you as a younger brother to others.
Are you willing to be someone else's younger brother now? "
Hong Ji calmly said: "President Li doesn't need to provoke me, you are right, I really can't decide this matter.
However, I will convey your opinion to the group. "
Li Dong said indifferently: "You can figure it out, but I still say the same thing, our two families will die and the net will be broken, and in the end only Bailian will be the cheapest one."
Hong Ji didn't say a word, Li Dong had something to say.
What does it mean that our two families will die and the net will be broken?
The meaning of what he said was barely clear, if they really wanted to fight, they would just stare at Huarun from a distance and ignore everything else.
In the end, even if Yuanfang loses, China Resources will be defeated, that's for sure.
Others may not have this courage, but Li Dong certainly has.
Hong Ji originally came to test Li Dong's purpose, and by the way, talked about other things in a roundabout way.
But now, Hong Ji is not in the mood to talk anymore.
Yuanfang cooperates with China Resources to carve up the East China market and compress Bealead's living space. This is a super event!
Even at this time, the acquisition of Hong Kelong has to be overwhelmed.
No matter how strong Hong Kelong is, its annual revenue is less than 3 billion. Can it compare with Yuanfang?
At this moment, Hong Ji wished he could go back to the headquarters immediately and discuss it with his superiors.
