Chapter 1138: End the Bet

The Beijing International Conference Center is located on the north side of the National Olympic Sports Center.

Li Dong is not very familiar with the capital, and often likes to confuse the Beijing International Conference Center with the National Convention Center.

Not only him, even Bai Su, the secretary who hadn't been to the capital a few times, was also confused.

Originally, when Li Dong went out and stayed in a hotel, he generally adopted the principle of proximity.

Live wherever is near.

Qi Yunna was going to help Li Dong book a hotel before, but Bai Su said that it had already been booked.

However, when they arrived at the hotel, everyone knew that it was still a few kilometers away from the Beijing International Center.

Beichen Intercontinental Hotel.

Bai Su's face turned red, he lowered his head, bit his lip, and after a while he said with red eyes: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I made a mistake at work and didn't prepare well."

Li Dong didn't care much about this, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I often get confused too.

Besides, the distance is not too far, only a few minutes' drive away, and the Intercontinental Hotel is a little higher. "

Liu Hong, who came with him, also smiled and said, "Assistant Bai, we still have to thank you. If it's really according to Mr. Li, then we'll have to stay at the Continental Hotel. There's only one star difference between the two."

Although the two said so, Bai Su still felt a little uncomfortable.

Although the matter this time is not a big deal, a mistake is a mistake. No matter how many excuses there are, it is an unforgivable mistake.

The most important thing is that this time Qi Yunna said that she helped to book a hotel, but she wanted to do it herself, but something went wrong, which made her even more incompetent.

Bai Su bit her lip and said nothing, and Li Dong didn't say much.

Leading everyone upstairs, Li Dong asked, "How is the schedule arranged for tomorrow?"

Bai Suqiang suppressed the self-blame in his heart, and said hastily: "The opening ceremony will be held at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and various departments will attend and give opening speeches.

There is also an opening speech. The organizer invited us to give an opening speech, but you refused before, and now it has been changed to Baidu. "

"Li Yanhong wants to brag about his c2c, let him have the chance. Let's see if there is a good show tomorrow."

Li Dong made a joke, but he didn't care too much about the replacement of the opening speaker.

The organizer has indeed invited him, hoping that he can talk about self-media and o2o.

Yuanfang's Weibo platform and Yuanfang's o2o model are indeed industry leaders at this time. It is not too much for Li Dong to be the opening speaker.

But Li Dong has been in the limelight recently, so he doesn't bother to care about it.

In addition, he didn't come here to publicize these things this time, so it doesn't matter whether he gives the opening speech or not.

Bai Su continued: "At 10 o'clock, the opening ceremony is over, and the general meeting will be held next, which will last until around 12 o'clock.

At 1:30 p.m., an international summit will be held and will continue until 5:30 p.m.

These are the arrangements for tomorrow. The day after tomorrow will be the high-level annual meeting in the morning and the public welfare meeting in the afternoon.

On the 25th, the e-commerce summit will be held in the morning and the closing ceremony will be held at noon. "

Li Dong nodded slightly, the schedule was quite tight.

Of course, he doesn't have to participate in all of them. Those who are interested can participate, and those who are not interested can let Liu Hong attend.

In fact, in the past, the presidents or vice presidents of some companies participated in the meetings, and the real chairman rarely participated.

This time it was mainly Ma Yun who invited him, but when Li Dong and Ma Yun came, Li Yanhong wanted to promote his c2c, and Ma Huateng was the partner of this conference...

Several Internet giants have come, and others can't sit still.

I'm afraid even the organizers didn't expect that this Internet conference would attract so many people's attention.

While talking, Bai Su's phone rang.

She has always been in charge of Li Dong's work mobile phone number.

It was also this phone that rang.

Bai Su answered, said a few words, then hung up the phone and said, "Mr. Li, the general meeting just ended, and you have been elected as the vice chairman of the China Internet Association."

Li Dong smiled and said: "It's not bad, I'm an official.

"

He was not too surprised. The chairman of the Huaxia Internet Association is usually an official.

But the vice chairman, as long as you are strong enough, 99% of you won't be able to escape.

But Li Dong still asked: "Who is the chairman? How many vice-chairmen?"

"Academician Hu is the chairman of the board, and there are 24 vice-chairmen in total. In addition, the association has also made arrangements tonight. I hope everyone can get together and briefly discuss the regulations of the conference. I hope you can attend."

Li Dong looked at the time, it was already afternoon.

After thinking about it, Li Dongdao said, "Forget it, just push it away for me, I have an appointment tonight."

"okay, I get it."

"Wait a minute, let Mr. Liu attend for me, save them and discuss it in advance, don't cheat me and I don't know yet."

Liu Hong on the side couldn't help laughing, nodded and said: "Okay, Mr. Li, don't worry, I will definitely not give them a chance."

"Okay then, you guys rest first."

Li Dong turned his head and said to Qi Yunna who was beside him, "Yunna, let's go down and have a cup of tea before coming up."

Qi Yunna nodded with a smile, and followed Li Dong into the elevator again.

...

The second floor of the hotel.

Although the afternoon tea time hadn't arrived yet, there were quite a few people in the restaurant.

Li Dong and Qi Yunna found a place to sit down, and randomly ordered two set meals. Li Dong looked around and thoughtfully said, "What do you think of the Intercontinental Hotel?"

Beichen Intercontinental Hotel, although it has the word Beichen, actually has nothing to do with hotel management or Beichen.

Similar to the urban complex, Beichen is only responsible for building buildings, and the hotels are all outsourced.

On the far side, 10 urban complexes are about to start construction, and now they are ready to start attracting investment.

The InterContinental Hotels Group is quite well-known, operating over 4,000 hotels around the world, and is also a giant in the hotel industry.

It owns several major hotel brands, InterContinental Hotel, Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza Hotel, Holiday Inn Express, Hotel Indigo... are all its hotel brands.

InterContinental Group is also among the partners Li Dong inspected.

Qi Yunna laughed immediately when she heard the words: "Mr. Li should ask Mr. Wu..."

Li Dong shook his head and said with a smile: "You still play sloppy with me, it's not like you don't know that the Yuanfang City project is now listed separately."

Qi Yunna thought for a while and said, "Ihg is quite famous, and IHG has always been ranked first in the world hotel group rankings in the past few years.

But I heard that the way they cooperate is relatively strong.

It is also difficult for the management to intervene in them.

For example, Beichen's side is entirely managed by Ihg, and Beichen can't intervene at all.

If we cooperate with them, we must be prepared to let things go, otherwise, I'm afraid there will be trouble along the way. "

Li Dong nodded slightly, number one in the world, strong is inevitable.

Just like Yuanfang, Yuanfang is also strong in domestic cooperation.

However, InterContinental Group does not currently have too much influence in the country. If they really want to cooperate, Yuanfang will help them gain a firm foothold in the country and open up the market. The two sides still have talks, and they are not blindly weak.

After all, the hotel is not the main task at present, Li Dong said a few words without saying much.

Changing the subject, Li Dong said: "How is the situation in North China?"

"Very good, last time you knocked on the major suppliers, although some of them were eliminated in North China, the new suppliers were very obedient.

The price policy has been given the most favorable price, and Yuanfang Logistics is responsible for the transportation, and now there are fewer and fewer problems.

The main thing is Tengxiang..."

Qi Yunna said with some hesitation: "Mr. Li, we just gave up the cooperation with Tengxiang, but turned around and handed over half of the business in North China to them again.

If it gets out, I'm afraid it will hurt our reputation a bit.

Those who didn’t know, thought we had compromised and Tengxiang broke the contract. Not only did we not pursue it, but we increased the order amount. "

Li Dong nodded, this is indeed a little troublesome.

After pondering for a moment, Li Dong said: "It's mainly about publicity, you can communicate with Tengxiang to see if you can give us more preferential policies.

In addition, to publicize to the outside world, Tengxiang paid a deposit of 500 million yuan before we reached a new cooperation agreement.

Believe it or not, it's up to them and let Tengxiang cooperate. "

"okay, I get it."

"..."

After chatting briefly about the city for a while, Qi Yunna finally lowered her voice and said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Huang is probably under residential surveillance now.

It should be over soon. "

Li Dong wasn't too surprised, but said with some emotion: "After all, my roots are not solid enough.

If it weren't for those nonsense things, who would have taken him down so easily?

I heard that this guy was still jumping around a few days ago, and I hoped that I would save his life, so I just took pleasure in his misfortune, so there is no need to sympathize with him.

But it’s cheaper for Suning. After they won Dazhong, and they continued to expand in Beijing and Tianjin recently, have they done market research?

Has their market share in Beijing and Tianjin reached half? "

The original gambling agreement with Suning did not include online. Of course, the online share was negligible at that time.

Before the e-commerce market hits the real economy market on a large scale, Li Dong wants to end this agreement as soon as possible.

Otherwise, in the future, Suning's electrical appliance market in Beijing and Tianjin will be impacted by e-commerce, and Suning may come up with something else.

Li Dong is not afraid, but the key is trouble.

He insists on being serious about the e-commerce market with you, even if the contract doesn't mention it, everyone's face will be ugly in the end.

Moreover, Yuanfang's electrical appliances market in Beijing and Tianjin has also gradually expanded in scale.

Except for a few stores that cooperate with Suning and continue to allow Suning to settle in, many stores have begun to operate independently.

Don't make a fuss to the end, Yuanfang's expansion will shrink Suning's market, and Li Dong won't know whether to cry or laugh.

In fact, after Suning acquired Dazhong Electrical Appliances, the original VAM agreement was not suspenseful.

The market share of Dazhong Electrical Appliances in Beijing was higher than that of Gome, and it has been the number one home appliance in Beijing for many years.

In the Beijing-Tianjin area, the reputation and status of Dazhong is not weaker than that of Gome.

After Suning acquired Dazhong, plus its own business, it actually surpassed Gome long ago.

Of course, passing Gome does not mean that it has achieved half of the market share.

However, these three companies are all home appliance chain giants in Beijing and Tianjin. Together, they have divided up nearly 90% of the market share.

Of the 90%, whether Suning accounted for 50% or not, Li Dong is not too clear.

He didn't know, but Qi Yunna understood, nodded and said: "According to the data and financial reports released by both parties, Suning has surpassed Gome. In the first two quarters, Suning's total sales in Beijing and Tianjin were 8 billion, while Gome's was only about 5 billion.

However, the overall data still needs to wait for the National Bureau of Statistics and the Reform Commission to make detailed reports.

Without official data support, Suning may not admit it. After all, once it admits that its market share in Beijing and Tianjin has reached more than half, our cooperation will be completely terminated.

At that time, we can vigorously develop our home appliance industry.

In fact, at this time, Suning intends to improve our self-operated performance, maybe they have other ideas. "

Li Dong sneered when he heard this, "Zhang Jindong understands calculations, don't bother him, these two days you go to the Bureau of Statistics and Reform Commission, they should have detailed statistical reports in the first half of the year.

However, it is generally not made public during the year, and I know this.

You find a way to get them to cooperate, come up with a detailed report, and end the bet with Suning later.

With the constraints of gambling contracts, it is not easy for us to develop our self-operated home appliance business.

Suning expects to use this to suppress me. If they have the ability, they don't do business by themselves. If they have products, they don't sell them. "

If Suning really doesn't sell products and chooses to close the door, then Li Dong will be cruel to them, and he will admit it if he loses.

But the two parties agreed on a period of five years, and now it has only been more than a year, and less than two years.

How much Suning will lose if it closes its doors for three years, or forcibly suppresses its own business for three years, is simply not a bet, and an industry of more than one billion yuan can make up for it.

So from the very beginning, the two sides have not made restrictions on this point.

We are not idiots, if we have business, we will not do it, if we have a market, we will not grab it, but instead care about the bet, this kind of person is destined to not be able to do great things.

Now Suning's market share in Beijing and Tianjin has exceeded half, and the other party is just deliberately delaying and refusing to admit it.

And with the data from the Bureau of Statistics as support, Suning can't admit it.

The data from the National Bureau of Statistics may not necessarily be accurate, but relatively speaking, they specialize in social surveys and statistics on people's livelihood and economic data, which are recognized by the entire government department.

As long as this data can pass, it doesn't matter what Suning says, even if it doesn't reach half, the Bureau of Statistics will meet the conditions if it reaches half.

Qi Yunna nodded, she also wanted to end the bet as soon as possible.

Otherwise, I always feel shy.

I want to start a self-operated home appliance business, but I dare not expand it. Suning does activities, and Yuanfang does not dare to let go to grab the market. Suning cooperates with Yuanfang stores, and Yuanfang is often at a disadvantage.

The reason for all this is because of that bet.

Otherwise, during this period of time, Gome is weak, and Yuanfang should seize a part of the market no matter what.

As a result, due to the restriction of the betting contract, Qi Yunna remained silent.

It's all right now, Li Dong decided to show his cards head-on and forcibly end the bet, then the next step will be easy.

As soon as Lao Huang entered, Gome would be in chaos for a while, and Qi Yunna could grab a part of the home appliance market in Beijing and Tianjin without any worries.
