Chapter 433 Purple Qi Comes From the East, It's Unspeakably Precious

July 22, 10 am.

In the largest meeting room of Tonghai Hotel, the lights of the camera were flickering.

Yuanfang Supermarket has finally completed the acquisition of Times, and this merger involving billions of dollars has officially signed an agreement at this very moment.

The high-level executives of the distant place and the era all wore suits and leather shoes, with serious expressions on their faces.

When Li Dong and Fang Keng wrote their pens respectively, everyone relaxed, and then there was loud applause on the field.

Li Dong and Fang Keng stood together, accepting photos from the reporters.

The impact of this acquisition is not small. The two parties did not choose to sign an agreement in private, but held a press conference.

For the news media that came today, in addition to the southern Jiangsu side, many journalists from the Jiangbei side also came.

Li Dong and Fang Keng stood still, and after taking photos for a while, a reporter asked, "Mr. Li, can you tell us how much the Yuanfang acquisition of Era cost?"

Li Dong glanced at Fang Keng, saw the other party nodded slightly, and then smiled softly: "3 billion."

Naturally, this number is not the real number. After the acquisition is completed, a little exaggeration is inevitable.

Generally, in this kind of acquisition case, the figures finally revealed will not be the actual figures. Li Dong is not bad, so he said 3 billion. Some people wish the outside world would desperately overestimate the output value of the company, and the revealed figures would double. Not only that.

"3 billion!"

Everyone whispered for a while, and then someone asked: "Mr. Fang, do you think 3 billion is in line with the value of the times?"

Fang Keng laughed and said, "Whether it fits or not depends on the individual. In my mind, the era is naturally worth the price, and 3 billion has not met my psychological expectations."

Li Dong also laughed and said: "3 billion can take over the era, in my opinion, it is still very worthwhile. And I believe that it will not be too long, let alone 3 billion, under the integration of the era, it is not difficult to double the value .”

Seeing what the two said, the reporters did not continue to dwell on this topic.

After asking about the price, someone immediately continued the previous topic and asked: "Mr. Li, last time you said that Yuanfang is targeting East China. Now that Yuanfang has completed the acquisition of Times, does it mean that the Three Kingdoms era of East China's retail industry has arrived? "

Li Dong asked: "The Three Kingdoms era? Why do you think so,

In my opinion, the Three Kingdoms period was a period of melee, and the end result was that both sides suffered losses. Now that the retail industry is booming, the next few years will be a golden period for the development of the retail industry. At this time, I think it is more likely for us to cooperate with each other and win-win.

If you really want to compare, I think the term contending among a hundred schools of thought is more appropriate. "

As soon as he finished speaking, someone laughed and said: "Mr. Li, a hundred schools of thought contend, but the final result is Confucianism and Taoism alone. Then who do you think will be the last Confucianist in this battle in East China?"

Li Dong glanced at the other party, and cursed inwardly, these guys reacted really fast enough.

Media reporters are the kind who fear that the world will not be chaotic.

Li Dong's answer was quite satisfactory, and these people were naturally dissatisfied.

The purpose of bringing up this topic again is to force Li Dong to say a few shocking words.

Last time in the hotel, Li Dong talked about Bailian and China Resources, but that time others felt that they were not strong enough. In addition, Yuanfang did not have an acquisition era at that time. No matter how much Li Dong said harshly, it seemed to outsiders that Yuanfang was a little overconfident. up.

But it is different now, once the distant place is integrated with the times.

Then Yuanfang will soon become a large group spanning Jiangbei, Southern Jiangsu, Shandong Province, Jiangsu and Zhejiang... several major provinces.

At this time, Yuanfang has the ability and confidence to wrestle with several giants.

If Li Dong said the same things at this time, the major retail giants would no longer regard him as a joke, but a real declaration of war.

The reporters understand this, and Li Dong naturally understands it too.

Everyone present understood this truth, so the reporters were a little bit chasing after him.

Li Dong was pressed for a few words, and he also felt that he couldn't escape if he didn't say a few words today, and he also wanted to create momentum for the distant place and the times.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't know who is Confucianism, but the old saying goes, the winner is the one who laughs last. Competition is a long-distance race, and a temporary lead does not guarantee the final winner."

"What does Mr. Li mean, although China Resources and Bailian are currently leading, Yuanfang is likely to be the final winner?"

"If you think so, I don't deny it."

Li Dong laughed, and then half teased: "At least one thing, I think I can definitely beat them."

"What?"

"Which point?"

"..."

Everyone asked questions one after another, Li Dong smiled and said: "I think, among other things, I should be able to survive my seniors when I am old."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

Everyone laughed, but everyone was thoughtful.

Although Li Dong was joking, it wasn't necessarily a joke.

He didn't say that others didn't pay attention to this point, but when he said it, everyone immediately thought, didn't they!

How old is Li Dong, he is only 21 years old this year!

As for his opponents, whether it is China Resources or Bailian, the current management is at least 40 years old.

There is a time gap of twenty years. If Li Dong does not make decision-making mistakes in the future, or is affected by the general environment, with these twenty years, he may really be able to surpass these big groups.

It's not that Bealead has no successors, but the successors are fundamentally different from the founders.

Don't underestimate any self-made rich man. They can stand out among their contemporaries. Whether it is courage or ability, they must have something extraordinary.

Especially like Li Dong, who started his business at the age of 19 and became the helm of a domestic retail giant at the age of 21.

If anyone said that Li Dong had only a bad temper but no ability, the person who spoke would probably not believe it himself.

Next, the reporters asked Li Dong and Fang Keng some questions, and both Li Dong and Fang Keng answered them one by one. Some things were inconvenient to say, so they vaguely explained them.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Liu Qi stood up and announced the end of the interview.

The reporters still had a lot to say, and after a while, a male reporter in his thirties said, "Mr. Li, can I ask you one last question?"

"Please say."

"Someone mentioned the distance in front of Mr. Ma of Suguo before, and Mr. Ma replied, 'Young man with a yellow mouth, there is no evidence for it'. I wonder if you have heard of this sentence?"

Li Dong said indifferently: "I have heard it a little bit."

"Then, is there anything Mr. Li wants to say to Mr. Ma?"

This sentence is really not just a random word from the reporter, but a fact.

Of course, this was not what Ma Jialiang said in front of the media. It is said that he said it during an internal company meeting.

As for how it spread out afterwards, I don't know.

Anyway, when someone asked Ma Jialiang later, Ma Jialiang did not deny this point, and it is self-evident whether it is true or false.

Li Dong didn't take it seriously before. It's normal to hold a meeting inside the company and belittle his opponent.

But now that he was asked by the media in front of everyone, if he didn't say a few words, it would seem that Li Dong was afraid of him.

After pondering for a moment, Li Dongcai smiled lightly: "There is no need to say anything to Mr. Ma. After all, he is a senior and he is not young. But the distance is not a herbivore. No matter how fierce the wolves are, could it still be a Tyrannosaurus rex?" opponent?"

After Li Dong finished speaking, he bowed slightly and left quickly.

Others followed suit one after another, and the front of the meeting room was empty after a while.

But the media were not disappointed at all. Li Dong's words just now were quite interesting.

Although he didn't name them, everyone present knew that Suguo had always described himself as a pack of wolves, and the tactics he used were wolf pack tactics.

At this time, Li Dong said that the pack of wolves lost to the Tyrannosaurus rex, and the Tyrannosaurus rex was naturally referring to the distance.

In the past, in southern Jiangsu, Su Guo was the most respected, occupying half of southern Jiangsu.

But the times are not weak, not to mention fighting against Suguo, at least they are not at a disadvantage.

Now that the era has changed, and Li Dong has moved into the era, can Ma Jialiang still win all battles in southern Jiangsu as before?

In addition, there is another point that southern Jiangsu and Jiangbei are very close, and the two provinces border each other. As a giant in Jiangbei's retail industry, it is much easier than other companies to help the times.

The era is not fighting alone. Once there is a real fight, it is hard to say who will win and who will lose.

...

Li Dong didn't care too much about what the reporters thought and reported.

These days, media reports can also fool the middle and lower classes.

In the real upper class, everyone has their own ideas, and they are all firm in their own ideas. Whether they are friends or enemies, it cannot be changed with a few reports.

After leaving the conference hall, Li Dong bid farewell to Fang Keng and his party.

Fang Keng and Li Dong shook hands, and after a long time sighed softly: "Mr. Li, it is a pity that the cooperation did not succeed this time. Personally, I really hope to cooperate with Mr. Li once. If there is a chance in the future I hope Mr. Li can fulfill my wish."

Li Dong felt that his words did not sound like a lie. Hearing this, he nodded with a smile and said, "It is also my dream to be able to cooperate with Fang Dong. I look forward to the next time."

"Hahaha, okay, then I wish Zongpeng Li a long journey, and lead the distance and era to sweep the world!"

"I accept your good words."

After a few words of politeness, Li Dong watched Fang Keng and the others leave.

As soon as they left, Liu Qi leaned over and said in a low voice, "Mr. Li, guess what news I got?"

"What?"

"Do you know why Chairman Fang and Mr. Fang value you so much? During the chat just now, Chairman Fang's secretary accidentally said something, and I just realized it."

"What words?"

"She said that you are the life of the rich and powerful, and the purple energy comes from the east, so you are unspeakably precious."

"Fart! You take this kind of flattery seriously."

Liu Qi hurriedly said: "Really, she also said that this is the order given to you by a famous Fengshui master in Hong Kong. You also know that they attach great importance to Fengshui metaphysics. The reason why Fang Keng and his son want to cooperate with you is mainly The reason is probably because of this.”

"Feng Shui Master?"

Li Dong muttered, then frowned a little.

He developed in the mainland, and he has hardly been out of Jiangbei in the past few years. How could there be a feng shui master from Hong Kong to give him orders?

And the other party must be famous, otherwise he wouldn't even take people like Fang Keng seriously.

Hong Kong and Taiwan still attach great importance to these metaphysics, and even highly respect well-known magicians.

Such a person gave Li Dong an order, saying that his purple energy came from the east, and he was very precious, so Fang Keng's previous actions were understandable.

Thinking of this, Li Dong couldn't laugh or cry, what's the matter?

Returning the purple energy to the east, you think this is a troubled time to seize the throne.

That is to say, in modern times, if we put it in the past feudal era, Li Dong will be the first to kill this nonsense guy.

In the past, the word Ziqi Donglai was not used indiscriminately, it was so taboo, the rulers knew it, and the first one had to kill Li Dong.

Shaking his head, Li Dong reprimanded: "Stop spreading such gossip, and follow me, I have something to arrange."

Li Dong didn't care too much about Fengshui or not. After all, there are only a few people who believe in it these days, and it doesn't have much influence on him.

What he is more concerned about now is the arrangement of the times. Taking over the times is not an easy task.

Dozens of hypermarkets and supermarkets are waiting for him to arrange for someone to take over, and he has to be responsible for appeasing people's hearts. Li Dong is also preparing for a big cleaning. If he doesn't arrange it well in advance, he may cause trouble. (To be continued.)
