Chapter 1169: 0 Selling the Empire

When Li Dong said that he wanted to fully dominate the eastern market, Chen Lang's face turned green.

The scope of the east is too wide, so wide that except for the southwest and northwest, it can be counted as the east.

Among the eight giants, if you don't count the big businessmen in the northeast, seven of them are in the east.

What Li Dong said was like a nationwide war, looking for a beating!

Taking a deep breath, Chen Lang said dryly, "So, we are going to enter North China, Central China, and East China to fight on the third front?"

Li Dong smiled and said, "What's the hurry, didn't you hear me?

First defeat the resistance forces in East China, and then enter Central China and North China. At most, we will fight on two fronts. Where can we get three fronts. "

Several people turned green, is there a difference?

Li Dong saw that they all showed embarrassment, he breathed out and said: "Time is waiting, I want to completely kill all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals right now.

Then recuperate and accumulate strength. This time may take one or two years.

When we have accumulated enough power, we can officially start the decisive battle.

At that time, Bealead and China Resources will be driven out of East China, and the final decisive battle will be in South China to achieve retail unification.

Don't hurry up, there is not enough time.

Completed the unification of retail in China, transferred to Xiangjiang, entered the Asian market, and went to the European and American blog once, that is what I hope to see.

I have been fighting civil wars, consuming our own strength, and I am tired of it.

Everyone, don't you want to fight on top of the world? "

Everyone looked expectant, who didn't want to go abroad and show off the prestige of our country.

But China has a vast land and abundant resources, and it is really not an easy task to complete the unification of China's retail sales.

Li Dong wants to fight on two fronts next year, or even more. He is too eager for quick success.

When Yuanfang attacks Central China and North China, will other giants sit idly by?

Very unlikely!

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. In order to counter the Yuanfang, it is very likely that the Yuanfang will be attacked on all sides when attacking North China and Central China.

Once this situation arises,

That distance is dangerous.

Unless, Yuanfang's strength is really strong enough to resist everyone.

Dashang is far away in the northeast, not to mention him, China Resources and Bailian are both in the heart of the distant place!

Thinking of this, Chen Lang thought for a moment before saying: "President Li, the idea is good, and we hope so too.

But it is too difficult to fight on two or even multiple fronts.

If you want to compress their space, it's okay, but if you want to completely defeat them, if nothing else, the government will be very difficult to pass. "

Li Dong smiled and said: "I understand, so our purpose is not to kill them.

If Wumart originated from the capital, then it will operate in the capital in a down-to-earth manner. If Wushanglian originated in Jiangcheng, then it will operate in Jiangcheng honestly.

It is enough to cut off all their tentacles and completely localize the localization.

Cross-regional or even transnational, that is our business, what do you think? "

Qi Yunna, who hadn't spoken much, thought for a while and said: "If this is the case, I actually don't think we need to fight alone.

It will be much easier for us to pull one family and fight one family, leaving part of the local market and handing it over to local companies.

For example, in Beijing, we can recruit Jingkelong to encircle and suppress Wumart, and even recruit Bailian and China Resources to cooperate again to encircle and suppress Wumart and Jingkelong.

The same is true for Wushanglian. In fact, if Zhongbai had not broken up before, it would be much easier to win Zhongbai and defeat the other two.

But there is no Zhongbai, there are other companies, all the same.

My idea is that it is difficult to cover all areas in the distance, and it is enough to give up the areas that we cannot occupy for the development of these local systems, and defeat the giant companies that are emerging.

In this way, the local government has little desire to resist. It is more appropriate for us to support some small and medium-sized enterprises than to start a full-scale war. "

Many people nodded in agreement with Qi Yunna's words.

China is too big!

As large as a department store retail field, let alone hundreds of billions in the distance, it is impossible to occupy all of it even if it is trillions.

The best way is to support some small and medium-sized enterprises and kill large enterprises.

And if they really want to kill them all, let alone the issue of strength, it is unlikely to monopolize the entire retail industry, and Yuanfang will become a thorn in everyone's eyes.

However, it is different to support some local enterprises.

Although Yuanfang will not be able to monopolize all of them at that time, small and medium-sized enterprises will not be able to compete with Yuanfang. Yuanfang will naturally become the uncrowned king of the retail industry and the leader of the martial arts.

This is much stronger than an all-out war.

Seeing that everyone said that, Li Dong pondered for a moment and said: "Then make a specific plan later, and urge China Resources to speed up the progress.

Around November, we will break through the barriers and start to eliminate foreign capital and local giants in East China.

Next year, after the Spring Festival, we will start to unite vertically and horizontally, fight one family with another, and start the unification of the East.

We will strive to control North China and Central China within two years. "

two years!

Everyone looked at each other subconsciously. Two years is a long time, but it is also short.

Can Yuanfang really do all this in two years?

East China, North China, and Central China are all controlled, which is almost equivalent to half of China. It is not an ordinary difficulty. This is not used in the previous layout. Now it is occupation. The two are not the same concept.

Although they knew it was very difficult, everyone didn't say anything.

Give it a try first, if it doesn't work, let's talk. The boss likes to make big plans, so everyone cooperates.

If it doesn't work, then no one can blame it.

Li Dong didn't know what they were thinking, and if he knew it, he would definitely not give a good face.

After saying a few words, Li Dong said to Tan Haiying: "To complete this plan, the cooperation of e-commerce is indispensable.

The barriers between East China and China Resources have been broken, and the depth of O2O will start immediately. The pilot will be carried out first, and then it will enter the whole country. The cooperation of the two will have a hundred times greater advantage than a single physical store.

Once the plan is successful, Yuanfang Supermarket will be listed in the future, it will be a new trillion empire!

And all of you present here are veterans of meritorious service, microblogs cannot provide for the elderly for a lifetime, but supermarkets are enough for everyone to truly eat for a lifetime, and even extend to the next generation! "

Everyone's eyes are sharp!

Yes, it is true that Weibo cannot support itself for a lifetime. The stock prices of these Internet industries fluctuate too fast, and it is worthless to say that it is worthless.

But the supermarket is different!

Just look at Wal-Mart. When a supermarket goes public, there may not be a sharp rise in the stock price, but there will rarely be a sharp drop.

Or it may not be listed at all. At that time, Li Dong will definitely split the shares.

A physical supermarket that unifies most of China has more than enough for the elderly, and it is not hopeless to extend to the next generation.

Everyone was a little longing, even though they knew that Li Dong was drawing big cakes now, but everyone did see a faint hope.

Among the eight major retail department store giants, Yuanfang is the most powerful. Even if they cannot be unified, it is still possible to divide half of the Huaxia market.

Seeing that they were all pondering, Li Dong didn't wait for them.

Continued: "The goal of the supermarket is these, during this time, you can do it freely!

In terms of money, the group has recently borrowed from the bank with a target of 10 billion. In addition, there are nearly 10 billion left in the payment for goods. The money will be given priority to the supermarket!

Other places will cost money, and we will find a way later.

In the later stage, the scale is getting bigger and bigger. When we are not short of money, we don't have to worry about these trivial matters. "

Everyone nodded hastily. They saw Li Dong attaching great importance to the Internet and still promoting Internet finance, so they thought Li Dong had shifted his focus.

It now appears that they misunderstood.

Li Dong does pay attention to the Internet industry, but the Internet industry may only be his goal of making money, and what he really relies on is supermarkets and other industries.

Otherwise, Li Dong would not say that the group's current funds are given priority to supplying supermarkets.

At this time, which industry does not need money to expand.

Thinking of this, the status of the few people gradually improved, and the loss of Weibo's upcoming listing was swept away. Anyway, everyone has stock options, so there is no need to be jealous.

Having said that, the others have nothing to say.

But Qi Yunna hesitated again and again, and said: "Mr. Li, what about the home appliance field?"

The faces of Sun Tao and the others changed a little, and they all looked at Qi Yunna in unison.

You still think it’s not big enough, do you?

Just in the field of department stores, everyone's heart began to tremble. You also mentioned the field of home appliances. Didn't you mean to make everyone feel uncomfortable?

Of the eight giants of department stores, there are actually only a few that are truly powerful.

In the field of home appliances, Gome and Suning are the real giants, and Best Buy, which is not weak, may be even more difficult to deal with than the department store giants.

Qi Yunna, is it a big deal to watch the excitement?

However, North China is the place where department stores fought four wars, and the situation is also relatively chaotic. In fact, Qi Yunna's pressure is heavier than theirs.

Except for South China, North China has the heaviest task, while South China has only scratched the surface and has not gone deep.

At present, Yuanfang Supermarket is the most troublesome area in North China. Qi Yunna still has to talk about the field of home appliances. This woman really thinks she is an iron man.

Qi Yunna didn't look at anyone else, she just stared at Li Dong and said, "Boss Huang, I'm afraid it won't last a month.

Next, there may be a big war in the field of home appliances, so I thought..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Dong smiled and said, "I know this, I didn't say to give up retailing of home appliances.

But there is no rush for the time being. The situation in the field of home appliances is relatively simple. It is almost inevitable that Suning and Gome will go to war.

As for Suning and Gome, which have been rooted in physical retail for many years, we can only take our time and gradually encroach on their markets.

In the field of home appliances, it is very difficult to defeat them by relying on our inherent supermarket stores. The real core lies in the promotion of the O2O model of Yuanfang Mall.

The next few years will be the era of Internet +.

The Internet + home appliances + logistics are our magic weapon for success, so let them fight first.

Our current task is to let everyone know that we also sell home appliances in the distance, and the sales are not bad, which is enough. "

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this is the best.

Although Li Dong always likes to walk a tightrope, he is not blindly mindless and crazy.

In the field of home appliances, it is not too late to expand after winning the department store.

Although they don't know the future of Li Dong's Internet + strategy, Li Dong's words are full of confidence, and they would rather believe it.

Otherwise, it would not be a matter of fighting on two fronts.

Speaking of this point, the goal and route of Yuanfang Supermarket are completely determined and clear.

It's no longer like before, fighting everywhere, just expanding, but missing a bit of the main line.

After Li Dong finished speaking, he was about to end the meeting when Chen Lang suddenly said, "Mr. Li, I still have something to say."

Li Dong was slightly startled, and then said, "Say it."

"Now, Yuanfang Supermarket and Yuanfang Mall have merged, and it is inappropriate to call Yuanfang Supermarket Group separately.

I want to change my name and set up Yuanfang Retail Group, what do you think? "

Li Dong suddenly smiled and said: "I almost forgot, it's time to change the name, our goal is to unify the retail, not the supermarket.

It is just right to call it a retail group. The essence of Yuanfang Mall is actually retail.

And this matter needs to be taken seriously, go to the industrial and commercial side to change the name and register as soon as possible.

Just taking this opportunity to finalize the previous resolution.

Subordinate to Yuanfang Group, established Dongyu Real Estate Group, Yuanfang Retail Group, Yuanfang Technology Group, and Yuanfang Logistics Group as four subsidiary group companies.

In addition, Yuanfang Weibo Technology Co., Ltd. and Yuanfang Aviation Co., Ltd. were established.

Let's get things done first, and then pick a good day to unveil the cards together, so that everyone can see our strength! "

Yuanfang Group has established four subsidiary group companies and two direct subsidiaries, with a total of six major businesses.

It seems that the organization is a bit bloated, but it is actually necessary.

Li Dong did not calculate the total assets of Yuanfang Group. He did it in the first half of the year, but it is obviously different now.

Although Li Dong didn't count, he probably still counted.

The total assets of the group should be 200 billion.

With such a scale, it is reasonable to divide it into four major groups and two companies.

Everyone responded one after another, this is a matter that has been settled long ago, so there is no need to be too shocked.

But Qi Yunna thought for a while and asked again: "Then should the group set up a board of directors?"

"It doesn't matter much, it's just a change in name, but since it's brought up, let's do it together.

Five years ago, I, Li Dong, never thought that one day, I would be called Chairman. "

Li Dong laughed, teased, and then waved his hands: "Go to work, that's all for today.

Remember to choose a good day, when the time comes to unveil the establishment of several major groups. "

Everyone nodded, and then dispersed.

...

Just when Li Dong was making a retail layout.

Weibo also received the first quotation for its B round of financing.

When Liu Hong brought Wang Xin to report to Li Dong with the plan, Li Dong was a little surprised.

After flipping through the documents a few times, Li Dong laughed and said, "Goldman Sachs is still thinking about investing overseas at this time?"

Yes, the first offer in sight is from Goldman Sachs.

Of the five major investment banks in Laomei, Lehman has gone bankrupt, and the other four have been incorporated. Li Dong feels that they should not be interested in investing at this time, especially overseas investment.

However, Goldman Sachs sent an invitation for inspection. Yes, people from Goldman Sachs want to come to Weibo for inspection.

Of course, the other party also quoted a price of 1.8 billion US dollars, but the other party also explained that this is only a preliminary plan.

Specifically, the second round of quotations will be made after people from Goldman Sachs' investment department come to Weibo for field inspections.

Anyway, the 1.8 billion US dollars is just for fun. If Yuanfang refuses, or has no such intention, then naturally there will be no investigation.

Liu Hong said with a smile: "Since the investment bank is not closed down, the business is still going on.

Mr. Li, do you see the inspection team that accepted them?

In addition, Sequoia and IDG also sent invitations this time..."

"Whatever invitation they send, just come directly." Li Dong was a little speechless when he heard that these two families also came here.

Liu Hong hurriedly said: "That's not the case, don't get me wrong, people from the two headquarters are coming."

Li Dong immediately realized that Weibo was invested by Sequoia and IDG before, but it was Huaxia headquarters.

To put it bluntly, in fact, it is just a name of someone else, which is considered a cooperation model.

However, these two institutions in Huaxia are not completely owned by these two well-known venture capital institutions. Xiong Xiaoge and Shen Nanpeng are the leaders.

But now, people from their headquarters naturally hope to invest through the capital of the headquarters, which is a bit interesting.

Li Dong smiled and said, "Shen Nanpeng and the others know?"

Liu Hong nodded and said: "I know, in fact, this is inevitable.

They want to continue financing and increase equity, so they probably don't have that much money.

To be honest, the scale of the domestic investment of these two companies was actually not large. The US$100 million last time may be all the funds they can use.

Now if you want to continue to increase the share capital, you can only go through the headquarters. I just don’t know whether it is a cooperation or a unilateral investment from the headquarters. "

Li Dong understood that the Sequoia and IDG China branches had limited funds to use.

But the two of them felt that Weibo had a bright future, and they still had priority rights. If they gave up, they would be in a panic.

That being the case, it would be logical to seek funds from the headquarters.

Li Dong didn't hesitate much, and said with a smile: "Okay, since there are so many people, don't wait for them to come.

How about this, send a financing invitation letter to all the well-known international investment banks and venture capital institutions.

Next month, we will hold a financing and investment reception, and invite everyone to sit down and chat together, which is better than receiving each family. "

After Li Dong finished speaking, he was afraid that someone would lose face, so he continued: "Put more bait, not only Weibo, but other things may also be discussed. It's their loss if they don't come, understand?"

Liu Hong suddenly laughed, as soon as he said this, there might be more people coming.

Not only Weibo, but also malls, PP, Wanka... These projects may all be financed.

As soon as the news comes out, I am afraid that all major investment banks and venture capital institutions will rush to come.

For nothing else, Yuanfang Science and Technology's several major projects are all undeveloped golden land.

Li Dong made a lot of troubles in the past two times, but the financing failed, and now he is still alone in the distance.

Such a project is already in a mature state, and the investment can be reaped soon, and it is also a project that all major institutions like.

The risk is not big, but once it goes public, it may get ten times and a hundred times the profit, who would not like it.

Of course, Liu Hong understands that the possibility of Li Dong releasing the pigeons this time is as high as 100%.

His purpose is still to raise funds for Weibo, and the others are just gimmicks.

Since those investment bankers are here, they can't get anything else, and Weibo is considered a good project, so they will naturally focus on Weibo at that time.

Several people had a brief chat about the reception, and Li Dong said a few words to Wang Xin before sending them away.
