Chapter 1303 You Have a Good Eye!

The press conference ended quickly.

However, Li Dong's remarks on Gome and his entry into the Xiangjiang market quickly spread.

For a while, the cry of wolf is coming spread all over Xiangjiang.

Although Xiangjiang is not big, it can be regarded as the Oriental Pearl of Asia, where there are various shopping centers.

Among them, the largest retail group is Watsons under the Yangtze River.

In the eyes of mainlanders, Watsons only sells cosmetics and facial masks...

However, in fact, Watsons is a veritable retail group, which also includes two major department store brands, ParknShop and Taste.

ParknShop and Taste, one is an ordinary supermarket, and the other is a boutique shopping supermarket.

These two brands have a wide range of businesses in Xiangjiang, with hundreds of stores.

You know, how old is Xiangjiang?

In addition to Watsons' own stores, it can be said that the retail business of Xiangjiang, Watsons Group occupies half of the country.

The other half of the country is occupied by the Jardine Group.

As a Fortune 500 company, Jardine Group owns Wellcome Supermarket, the No. 1 supermarket brand in Hong Kong.

In addition, the other party also owns the authorized operation of 7-Eleven convenience store in Xiangjiang.

In other words, the 7-Eleven convenience store and Wellcome supermarket in Xiangjiang belong to the Jardine Group.

Yihe and Changjiang are the two largest retail groups in Xiangjiang.

As for Yuanfang Group, its main business is also retail. Once Yuanfang enters the market, it will 100% snatch the retail market of these two companies, because the Xiangjiang market is now almost saturated.

There is no room for a third super retail group to enter the market, and there is no other way to go except to fight.

At this time, Li Dong suddenly announced that he would enter the Xiangjiang market. In the eyes of the outside world, it even contained some meaning of provoking the Yangtze River.

You know, the previous confrontation between Chaozhou merchants and Jiangbei merchants has already affected Xiangjiang.

Fang Keng came forward in person to deter the tide merchants in Xiangjiang.

The guy from Changjiang chose to sit on the sidelines. It stands to reason that Li Dong should not start a war at this time, which is not good for him to acquire Gome.

So what was Li Dong thinking?

...

Not only the outside world wants to know about this, Shen Qian also wants to know.

She knew that Li Dong was going to march into Xiangjiang.

But Shen Qian couldn't help but said: "Why did you announce the entry into Xiangjiang today? You can change the time."

Li Dong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of incident.

Besides, anyone with a discerning eye knows that I am going to enter Xiangjiang. "

"But……"

"You mean the one from Changjiang?"

Shen Qian nodded. At this time, Li Dong was competing for the controlling stake in Gome, so there was no room for loss.

Although, because of this sentence, it is unlikely that the other party will turn his face, but now that it is over-interpreted by the media, it is likely to cause the other party to face embarrassment and some unexpected things will happen.

Seeing Shen Qian's suspicion, Li Dong narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Now in Xiangjiang, Wellcome and ParknShop account for nearly 70% of the retail market.

If you want to enter from afar, you can only pick up some soup and water.

That's not my goal. I heard that although ParknShop's performance has been good recently, its profitability is mediocre.

For Lao Li, who is used to earning a lot of money, he probably doesn't think much of Baijia's cash flow now.

But we are different, our main body is retail, profit is second, and the key lies in the layout of globalization.

Lao Li despises such petty profits, and I want to enter Xiangjiang at this time, you say, next, will I fight with me for the department store business, or just pack it up and sell it, and get back a large sum of money to invest and make more money? Good business? "

Shen Qian was surprised and said: "Impossible? Even if Baijia's profit is not high,

It can be used as a supplementary business of Watsons..."

"Watsons is a retail group in name, but its main business is medicine, beauty, and health care.

It can be said that there is no business supplement between the two.

Whether ParknShop is sold or not has little effect on Watsons.

In addition, Baijia also has many stores in southern Fujian and Guangdong provinces. With the winning of Baijia, we can calmly deploy the coastal market.

This time, if we can come from the outside to the inside, from Xiangjiang to the coastal areas, I'm afraid it will make people's glasses shattered. "

Li Dong joked with some wicked humor. Of course, the reason why he hit Baijia's idea was not a fantasy.

In the previous life, Lao Li transferred assets and sold properties, which was very popular back then.

And Baijia is also one of the businesses that Lao Li plans to sell.

Almost, China Resources won the opponent.

But in the end, because of the price issue, the two sides failed to reach an agreement, and Changjiang gave up the sale of ParknShop Supermarket.

Since it could be sold in the previous life, wouldn't it be possible in this life?

Just because China Resources can't afford that much money doesn't mean Li Dong can't.

Of course, that's impossible for Li Dong now.

Let’s talk about it first, Lao Li may not think of selling Baijia at this time, but he can first promote the threat of distant places to the outside world, and then talk about the sale later, it will be much easier to talk about.

Winning the top 100 products means that Li Dong has opened up the Hong Kong and Macau markets, as well as the southernmost market in the Mainland.

Coupled with the victory of Gome, next, Li Dong is really invincible in Huaxia.

Bealead, Suning, China Resources...

These enterprises are strong only strong, but the strength of Yuanfang Retail Group, which integrates Yuanfang, Carrefour, Gome, ParknShop, Times..., is by no means comparable to them.

Coupled with online supplements, the next thing Li Dong has to do is to wait for the resources to be integrated.

At present, the biggest problem in the distance is not the external enemy, but the internal one.

Because it has risen too fast and merged too many companies, resources have not been fully integrated, and its competitiveness appears to be slightly weaker.

Otherwise, there is no need to be afraid of Suning and Bailian after the integration of Yuanfang Retail.

After completing the layout of the entire China, we will talk about the international market at that time. Anyway, in the domestic market, Li Dong can completely dominate the retail industry.

Shen Qian said a little weakly: "You haven't even won Gome, and you're starting to think about Baijia again.

Li Dong, I don't know whether to say you are ambitious or greedy.

If you do it like this, if you win Gome and take the Top 100, if you win the Top 100, you may start to make ideas for other companies.

This kind of crazy expansion, you are not tired, the group really needs to rest.

After five years of expansion, everyone is tired.

Now, the reason why everyone can persist is because they have seen the dawn of dominating China.

However, the competition in the international market is more intense than in the domestic market.

In a short period of time, there is no hope of dominating the world at all. At that time, everyone should be exhausted. "

Hearing this, Li Dong thought about it, nodded and said: "That's true, but let's see it later.

Now let’s settle the domestic issue first, let’s talk about winning the Top 100, it’s just a conception, Lao Li’s appetite is not small, and I don’t want to spend more money, so it may not be possible to negotiate.

I'm just testing it out now, and I'll see when the time comes. "

After finishing speaking, Li Dong said with a smile: "Let's not talk about this, I will make a few calls and ask Lao Ma if they have seen the photos of my fleet."

Seeing Li Dong getting up to make a phone call, Shen Qian's face was black!

Now, is it time to show off?

Gome has not been discussed yet!

You don't even ask about Wankato!

You don't care about the Weibo international war, and you still want to show off with Ma Yun and the others?

Shen Qian was speechless, seeing that he really went to the balcony to make a phone call, she shook her head and sighed: "You call, I'll go out and ask about the situation at Huang's house."

"Okay, I'll find you after calling."

Li Dong replied, and began to dial the number on his own.

After chatting with Ma Yun and the others, Li Dong looked at the room and found that Shen Qian was not there and probably wouldn't be back for a short time, so Li Dong heaved a sigh of relief and dialed a number again.

Just talking about talking nonsense with Ma Yun and the others was just a show for Shen Qian.

Today is the 3rd, Laba Festival.

Yuan Xue's birthday is today, Li Dong can't leave now, he can't go to the United States, but it can't be ignored.

Last time, she managed to hold them back by playing rogue. If she didn't even ask about her birthday, Yuan Xue would have to say goodbye to him completely.

As for Shen Qian, although she knew about Qin Yuhan and Yuan Xue, it didn't mean that Li Dong could call them unscrupulously in front of her.

There are some things that you know when you know them. It is one thing not to be in front of people, but another thing to be around them.

No matter how magnanimous a woman is, her fiancé who is about to get married is still talking with other women on the phone in front of her, that is magnanimity.

...

New York.

It was already afternoon in Xiangjiang, and the sky in New York was still pitch black.

The Queen.

Flushing, Queens, is the most Chinese-style Chinatown district in New York.

In recent years, Chinese immigrants, including immigrants from Southeast Asia, generally choose Flushing when they arrive in New York.

As for Yuan Xue, not long after she came to New York, she bought a single-family villa in Flushing.

In 2008, affected by the financial crisis, especially in the birthplace of the financial crisis, housing prices in New York plummeted and plummeted again.

A single-family house in New York sounds bluffing, but in fact, the price is not expensive at all.

Yuan Xue bought a single-family villa of more than 200 square meters for less than US$800,000.

4,000 U.S. dollars per level, of course, is not low when converted into RMB, but on Laomei’s side, of course, it is settled in U.S. dollars, so the price does not seem too high.

When you go abroad, you really have to live in a hotel every day, and the price is not cheap.

What's more, Yuan Xue was not alone in coming to New York this time.

Those bodyguards arranged by Li Dong also had to eat and drink. Instead of opening a few hotel rooms, it is better to take advantage of the falling housing prices and buy a real estate.

The bodyguards lived downstairs, while Yuan Xue lived on the second floor.

After midnight, Yuan Xue still hadn't fallen asleep.

In the past few days abroad, she doesn't have many other hobbies, but she has an extra hobby of checking Weibo.

The international version of Weibo has been listed in the United States for some time, but now the audience is not too large. After all, Weibo is a little later than Facebook and Twitter.

After scrolling through Weibo for a while, Yuan Xue suddenly laughed when she saw the photo of Li Dong taking a group photo with the aircraft team, and said softly, "Nowhere is without you."

This man seems to be everywhere.

Even if you are far away across the ocean, you can always know his news.

The battle to seize power in the United States is not only rumored in China, but also by people in the old America.

This man who is known as the king of China's retail industry is really going to dominate China's retail industry this time. Next, perhaps in the United States, he can see industries from afar.

Staring at the photo for a while, the man in the photo smiled a bit reservedly, but after looking carefully, Yuan Xue seemed to be able to feel the pride of the other party.

As if to say: "Look, I'm also an organic team person!"

After a long time, Yuan Xue sighed softly, and was about to turn off the computer and fall asleep.

Before leaving, the phone rang suddenly.

In the early hours of the morning, the phone rings extremely loudly.

Picking up the phone and looking at it, Yuan Xue froze for a moment when she saw the familiar number, and then slowly connected the phone.

...

Xiangjiang.

When the phone was connected, Li Dong smiled and said, "Happy birthday!"

"Do you remember?"

Li Dong quickly said: "Of course, I'm counting the time, Lao Mei's is also on the 3rd, so I'll be the first to call you to celebrate after 12 o'clock.

I should be the first, right?

I'm too busy during this time, I really can't leave, otherwise I'm planning to go to America to celebrate your birthday in person. "

...

New York.

A smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Xue's mouth, and she said with a light smile, "You can tell a lie as well as the truth, it's because you put your heart into it."

"Absolutely true!"

"Let's just believe it." Yuan Xue interrupted his self-defense, and thought for a while before saying: "How are you doing recently?"

"That's it, without you here, I can't get up to work.

You don't even know, every night I can't sleep, the insomnia is serious, hey, this person, with worries, it's easy to suffer from insomnia..."

Yuan Xue laughed again, playful: "I really miss me so much, then I'll go back and stay by your side every day from now on, so I won't suffer from insomnia, right?"

Li Dong immediately said: "Absolutely welcome!"

Yuan Xue sighed, and said helplessly: "You can talk more than before, it seems that these years, you don't know other skills, but the ability to open your mouth is getting stronger and stronger.

In the past, when you encountered this kind of question, you might not be able to answer so quickly. Keeping silent is probably your most likely choice.

Now, you have changed. "

Li Dongqian said with a smile: "It's nothing, I miss it from the bottom of my heart."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. I have seen your thick skin last time, so there is no need to see it again.

It's snowing in New York, how about you? "

"No, there is little snow here in Xiangjiang, so it's rare to see it.

But it's snowing in Jiangbei, although it's not that big, it's still snowing.

Don't worry, I still remember our agreement, it's snowing, and the gift will arrive early tomorrow morning, I originally thought it wouldn't snow, so I could save some money, it's a big loss..."

A smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Xue's mouth, scenes flashed through her mind, and she said after a long time: "I seem to have made a huge profit on the greeting card back then.

Over the years, I am afraid that the gifts I have received can buy tens of millions of greeting cards. Have you ever regretted it? "

"I don't regret it, I just think you have a good eye.

Back then, we didn't deal too much. You actually sent me a greeting card. You were too discerning. I'm afraid you've already seen that I'm not an ordinary person, right?

I knew that there was an indescribable aura of a king exuding from me all the time, did you feel it? "

Yuan Xue was happy, and it took a while before she said quietly: "Back then, I gave gifts to all the classmates on their birthdays, and your greeting card is the cheapest..."

Li Dong on the other side of the phone looked resentful, these words were too shocking.

But soon, Yuan Xue said softly again: "However, other students bought their birthday presents, and I made your greeting card by myself."

Li Dong regained his confidence again, but before Yuan Xue finished speaking, he said again: "Because I think you are so bad, you will lose money if you spend a dollar, so why don't you spend money at all."

Li Dong: "..."

The two chatted for a while. It was late at night in New York, and Li Dong didn't continue the chat. After half an hour, the two hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Li Dong leaned on the sofa, staring at the Victoria Harbor outside the window in a daze. )!!
