Chapter 1548 Surpassing Wal-Mart in 2 Years?

Li Dong quickly hung up the phone.

Without being greeted by Yuan Chengdao and the others, Li Dong sat down and took a sip of water, then frowned and said, "I came here for the matter of the five hundred strong."

Yuan Chengdao hurriedly said: "No, no, the matter of the top 500 is incidental, this time I mainly report to you about the retail industry association.

Before we started to integrate various industries, and now, it is almost over.

We planned to complete it by the end of May from the beginning, and now we have just reached the expected goal.

Rebranding, background data access, membership unification, supply channels, logistics, warehousing, unified pricing...

These things are now completed.

In June, we will be able to display the signboard of the Distant Alliance to the outside world.

In fact, now these enterprises have almost become our franchise stores, even stricter than the management of franchise stores.

As long as the supervision is in place, I think the influence of Yuanfang will definitely be further expanded this time..."

Yuan Chengdao talked eloquently, and as for the matter of the top 500, he briefly mentioned it, as if he really didn't come here for this matter this time.

Liu Hongmei and the others on the side were a little envious, but they didn't realize that the president was also so talkative.

I didn't talk about the retail association before, but now I talk about it without stopping.

Li Dong didn't interrupt him, and waited until he had finished speaking before saying, "You can make arrangements for these matters, just do a good job in supervision, and don't ruin the credibility established by Yuanfang because of these companies.

Let’s talk about the Top 500. We are ranked 280 this time. Are you all satisfied?

China's Internet companies are not even close to the top 500. Don't you think it's beautiful?

Other domestic retail companies are also far behind by us, isn't it more beautiful? "

Seeing that Yuan Chengdao was about to finish speaking, Li Dong pressed his hands and said, "I should be happy, but I am actually happy too.

It is not easy to enter the ranks of the world's top 500 companies in five years, and everyone's contribution cannot be denied.

But I just wanted to tell you,

We are still far from the ranks of the world giants!

Which company have I always taken as our goal?

It is none other than Wal-Mart, the top giant in the retail industry.

Although Wal-Mart lost its No. 1 position in the world this year, it is still No. 3 in the world.

As for revenue, it is in the early part of 400 billion US dollars.

Moreover, almost 90% of Wal-Mart's business is offline, and the other party's revenue is almost all retail revenue.

On the other hand, we actually have many sources of revenue, including real estate, logistics, and half of our revenue comes from online.

When it comes to the offline industry, last year we only had about 100 billion RMB, which was less than 15 billion US dollars.

We compare revenue with Ali and them, just like Wal-Mart compares revenue with us.

Internet companies still have excuses, but we and Wal-Mart are serious peers.

There is still a comparison among peers, and it is more worthy of comparison.

The offline revenue of the opponent is more than 20 times that of ours!

From this point of view, to put it bluntly, we are not at the same level as Wal-Mart, the gap is too far.

This year, we acquired Guomei, and the situation will be better, but there is still a huge gap.

You may say that looking at revenue is boring, after all, companies not only have revenue data.

But since it's boring, does the Top 500 still have value?

Why do you only list revenue rankings? You actually know better than me. In fact, everything in the business is based on revenue.

For a company, no matter how powerful you are, the profit margin is 100%, so what!

If your revenue is 100 million, all of it is profit, and that is only 100 million.

And what about Walmart?

With a revenue of more than 400 billion U.S. dollars, even if his profit margin is only a few percent, he still has a profit of about 15 billion U.S. dollars a year!

Wal-Mart's annual income, in terms of profit alone, has created a large group with a scale of 100 billion yuan.

At this time, what if the profit margin is lower?

Moreover, the more revenue, the higher the value of the industry that is actually leveraged. With a revenue of 400 billion US dollars, Wal-Mart has at least leveraged a market worth trillions of dollars.

At this time, does anyone dare to let Wal-Mart go bankrupt?

No one dares!

No one dares to do such a thing. At this time, even if Wal-Mart is no longer profitable, it will have no problem maintaining it for decades.

Wal-Mart was established in 1962, and it has been 47 years now. What do you think is the possibility of the other party existing for another 53 years?

At least in my opinion, among the top 500 companies, 499 have disappeared, and the last one left should be Wal-Mart. "

Yuan Chengdao didn't quite agree with this statement.

There are so many top 500 companies in the world, and they are of great importance. Some of them are supporting industries in some countries. How could they all disappear, and Wal-Mart still exists.

But since Li Dong said that, he just listened, there was no need to refute.

Li Dong didn't mean to say these things, who knows what will happen decades later, 53 years later, if they are still alive, they can get together, and then calculate how many companies are still in the top 500 now.

Without continuing to say these things, Li Dong said again: "I said this not to express anything, but to tell you that we still have a long way to go.

During this period of time, we successively won Guomei and Teng Xun.

Weibo is about to go public, and it can cost tens of billions of dollars. Perhaps in everyone's eyes, this figure is astronomical, and it seems that there is not much room for growth in the future.

But what about the facts?

Don't talk about market value with me, I talk about this with others, it's fooling them, don't fool them, you all take it seriously.

Once, I said that we surpassed Wal-Mart, but now in China, we are better than Wal-Mart.

But do you think we are really stronger than Wal-Mart?

Nonsense!

Now that we have set a goal and are still far away from it, why should we be complacent?

Is there any reason that makes us feel that there is no room for improvement in the distance?

Their revenue is 400 billion U.S. dollars, most of which are offline, and the offline revenue is more than 350 billion U.S. dollars. Let’s not say that the offline revenue is more than 350 billion U.S. dollars. Half of it?

The offline goal of 180 billion US dollars, and the rest will be used to surpass them online, so that we can win and the other party will be convinced..."

Li Dong was still talking, but Yuan Chengdao interrupted him for the first time this year: "Wait, Mr. Li, what do you mean?"

Li Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "The meaning in the words."

Yuan Chengdao was choked up, a little speechless, but still said: "You just said that you want to surpass Wal-Mart, are you serious?"

"You think I'm kidding? I've been targeting Walmart since 2007, don't you know?"

"But I always feel that it is a goal, an expectation for the future, and an incentive for everyone!"

Yuan Chengdao was a little excited, and continued: "More than 400 billion US dollars, approaching the 3 trillion RMB mark.

If you want to achieve half of the other party offline, it will be more than one trillion yuan in performance.

In addition, if it surpasses online, Yuanfang Mall will have to generate more than 1 trillion yuan in revenue.

Mr. Li, as a business, I think that even if you have goals and expectations, you should not position yourself too high.

In fact, Yuanfang has developed well this year, especially with the merger of Guomei, our revenue will definitely increase a lot.

But even so, Teng Xun's Internet industries have not provided us with too much growth.

If everything goes well, by the end of the year, we may achieve a leap forward. The offline revenue is expected to hit the 300 billion mark, and the online revenue, not counting Wanjia.com, is also expected to reach 200 billion.

This is the best expectation, the highest expectation!

In 10 years, our retail self-operated business has a revenue of up to 500 billion, which is the limit I can imagine.

On the basis of 500 billion, achieve a 6-fold leap.

Mr. Li, how long do you think this time will take? "

Li Dong said lightly: "Two years!"

"Two years!"

Yuan Chengdao suspected that Li Dong hadn't woken up, not to mention him, Shen Qian who was at the side wondered if Li Dong was stimulated.

Two years, from 500 billion to 3 trillion?

Not to mention 3 trillion yuan, Yuan Chengdao couldn't even imagine that Yuanfang's revenue would exceed one trillion yuan in two years.

As for the treasure collection in the previous life, it was a third party, and it was very different from the self-operated business.

That is the revenue created by countless merchants and enterprises, and it is a different concept from Yuanfang's single company wanting to surpass.

Revenue is often related to the amount of investment.

If you don't invest in expanding the scale, where will the revenue growth come from?

If Yuanfang reaches 500 billion in revenue this year, in fact, the investment funds in these years, when added together, will be hundreds of billions.

How much did a Guomei cost?

The bank still owes nearly 100 billion in loans, which was made by spending money.

3 trillion revenue, even if it is only investment, regardless of whether it can meet expectations or profit.

Online and offline, if Yuanfang doesn’t invest 300 to 400 billion yuan, then don’t even think about it.

The key lies in the layout of offline stores. If you want to achieve more than one trillion offline revenue, the cost of investment will not be lower than one-third of this, which is the most basic.

After two years, how could Li Dong have the confidence to say this.

Wal-Mart has been established for nearly 50 years, and it has only been more than 5 years in the distance. The time difference is 10 times, which is also difficult to make up for.

Yuan Chengdao and the others were shocked, but Li Dong laughed and said, "What? Do you think I'm crazy?

Don't worry, my mind is clear!

It's just that you are not confident.

It took us 6 years to reach the 500 billion mark from scratch.

With a foundation of 500 billion, it is only a 6-fold leap, and two years is enough.

And to put it bluntly, I don't really care about profit too much. As long as I can keep my expenses, what if I don't make a profit?

I just want to accomplish my goal and achieve beyond, so why not?

Say it, I have light on my face, you have light, and the Chinese government has light!

The world's number one company is Yuanfang Group, tsk tsk, it's exciting to think about it.

Other companies have to consider the source of profit and many things. As for me, I really don't care too much about all of this.

What's more, I have really achieved the number one in the world. I don't believe you when you say there is no profit. Are you right?

It's a good time for you to come this time, and make a plan for me when you go back. "

Liu Hongmei wiped the sweat from her forehead, and asked with some doubts, "What plan?"

"A plan of 3 trillion yuan in two years! And a plan of at least 1 trillion offline.

What to do to achieve this, you can give full play to your strength.

Don't think about investment, and don't think about the cost of benefits, just think about how to do it, and it is enough that the distance will not go bankrupt. "

"this……"

Liu Hongmei was a little dumbfounded, and Liu Qi coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Li, what do you mean, that is, regardless of external factors, it is right to increase revenue anyway, is that so?"

Li Dong smiled and said, "You can say that."

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Chengdao and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Dong said so, in their opinion, there is more meaning of self-comfort in it.

Anyway, I plan to make a random copy, as for how much money to invest and how much manpower and material resources are needed, I don't need to think about it.

This kind of plan is actually easy to do.

It is not easy to create high revenue if you spend trillions and don’t care about profits?

The point is, you have to have the money.

With this money, Yuan Chengdao can do it in a year.

To make it simpler, I have the money, so I can buy Wal-Mart directly. Even if I don’t buy Wal-Mart, if I buy a dozen or 20 companies from the world’s top 500 companies, it’s not like playing games and surpassing them.

As if seeing his thoughts, Li Dong smiled and said: "Don't care about money, but don't care about money, but there are still some restrictions, so that you don't mess with the plan to fool me.

To be more reliable, within 500 billion funds, the expansion is mainly based on mergers and acquisitions, mainly offline retail.

Let me give you an example. For example, the acquisition of an enterprise such as Suning can supplement our industry without being completely unrealizable. That is reliable.

Of course, mergers and acquisitions of companies like Suning are not easy, and they don't need to be limited to domestic companies, but also abroad.

It is too difficult to achieve this scale only domestically and offline. The global market is so big, and there are vast markets in all countries.

It's a little late to enter the market now, and it's thankless to expand yourself.

International routes generally focus on mergers and acquisitions, especially if you want to achieve your goals in a short period of time.

You can do some detailed investigations on some retail companies in various countries around the world, including whether they have any intention to sell, and whether they may be merged or acquired.

How is the local market situation, whether the government rejects..."

If the previous words, Yuan Chengdao and the others didn't take it seriously.

Then when Li Dong said a large-scale survey of the global retail industry, Yuan Chengdao's face changed drastically!

Global retail companies conduct surveys, and the amount of manpower and material resources invested is not a small amount, and it is possible to spend hundreds of millions to do the survey.

Just for a joke plan, spending so much research and investigation?

Either Li Dong's brain was flooded, or else, he didn't take it as a joke at all!

Yuan Chengdao frowned very tightly. He wanted to speak several times, but he didn't know how to say it.

Li Dong didn't tell the truth, just said a few words casually, and finally said with a smile: "You all have to come to the wedding next month, don't forget.

I will not call to notify you one by one when the time comes.

Also, everyone has earned a lot this year, so don't be stingy with red envelopes.

This is one of the few times when I can accept the red envelopes in a fair manner, and I will accept it next time, and I will have to wait for my son to be born, which will take several months..."

He cracked a few jokes and teased the others for a while.

The seriousness at one moment and the relaxed attitude at the other moment made several people feel a little confused.

Yuan Chengdao said a few polite words, and when he left, he suddenly said in a low voice: "Mr. Li, are you sure this plan will continue?"

Li Dong smiled lightly and said: "Do it, idle is also idle, it's okay to look at it happily, don't you think it's not good?"

"No, it's just..."

Li Dong interrupted: "Isn't it just money? You don't need to take the group's account, I can pay for it personally.

Just pretend I hired you professionals to do some work for me, okay? "

Yuan Chengdao was not talking about money at all, but Li Dongfei couldn't help it if he wanted to push it.

In the end, it may be that Li Dong got a little uneasy, and Yuan Chengdao reminded him like revenge: "This money, before Mr. Li, you don't say whether it is a strategic plan for the group, the group really can't pay this research fund .

At that time, the cost may be hundreds of millions, or even more.

When I'm done, I'll send someone to come to you for reimbursement. "

Li Dong glanced at him, and said angrily: "Let's talk about it later, don't come home to report on work if you have nothing to do, just talk to the company if you have something to do!"

"Cough cough cough..."

Yuan Chengdao coughed lightly, turned and left in a little embarrassment.

After he left, Li Dong touched his chin, looked at Shen Qian and said, "This guy, come to my house today, don't you still have a heart for you?"

Shen Qian laughed and said: "There's no reason to be jealous, okay.

What do you mean not giving up yet?

People haven't bothered at all, are you trying to create an imaginary enemy for yourself? "

After speaking, Shen Qian was too lazy to continue the topic, and asked curiously, "Is what you said just now true or false?"

"Is it true or not, I can't just talk about it casually? Don't change the subject, that kid Yuan Chengdao must have thoughts about you, I have already seen it.

Forget it, anyway, we will get married in a week, so let that guy cry in secret..."

Li Dong told Shen Qian not to change the subject, but Shen Qian heard that he was changing the subject.

She glanced at him helplessly, Shen Qian was a little suspicious at this moment, don't tell me that Li Dong really wanted to play a big game, right?

Although I said last time that it's okay to go bankrupt, it's not a good idea to find the rhythm of bankruptcy with thousands of trillions of assets.

Thinking about it in her heart, Shen Qian stopped asking.

Even if Li Dong wants to do big things, the premise is that he has the funds.

At present, Li Dong has no money, unless he sells Yuan Fang, it is still a fantasy.

But after selling Yuanfang, what else is there to play? Everything is back to the original point.
