Chapter 644: Li Dong's Layout

Is five or six years long?

For different people, the answer must be different.

But as far as Li Dong is concerned, five or six years is really too long!

It has now entered 2007, and it will take five or six years to complete the nationwide deployment of supermarkets, which is about 13 years.

Completing the layout does not mean gaining a firm foothold.

Another year or two of stability, good guy, just a supermarket, just after the completion of the national strategy, Li Dong has reached the node of rebirth time.

At this time, e-commerce began to have a severe impact on the real industry, and Li Dong had to face a big impact almost as soon as the situation stabilized.

Can he get through this without the help of foresight?

This result is difficult to predict now, but the risk is great.

Li Dong didn't dare to gamble like this, so he could only hurry up and make Yuanfang's industrial layout more stable and reliable.

Due to the limitation of funds and manpower, Yuanfang can only focus on one aspect of development.

This is naturally based on supermarkets, supplemented by others.

Only by completing the layout of the supermarket as soon as possible, and then expanding in e-commerce, real estate, and logistics, before 16 years ago, several key industries under Yuanfang could keep pace with each other, and Li Dong didn't have to worry about it at that time.

So he set a goal for himself, within three years, he must complete the overall planning and layout of the supermarket.

At that time, it was only 10 years, and there were still six or seven years left for Li Dong to complete the industrial upgrading, which was considered ample time.

But these are all Li Dong's own thoughts, it's hard to tell others, and it's hard to explain.

So everyone may not understand his urgency, but if outsiders don't understand, it doesn't mean that Li Dong won't do it.

Because of this, there is this crazy gambling agreement.

In fact, in Li Dong's view, this agreement is not crazy.

In 2008, Lao Huang was arrested. After that, Suning quickly got rid of the title of Wannian's second child, and his rise was very fast.

certainly,

Until the time of Li Dong's rebirth, Suning did not account for half of the market share in Beijing and Tianjin, but it was almost the same.

Then why did Li Dong still dare to gamble?

Because it is only 2007!

At this time in the previous life, Suning was severely suppressed. At this time, he did not enter the Beijing-Tianjin market at all. Even if he entered, it was a small-scale trial.

Because of this, Suning missed the best time at that time.

After all, when Lao Huang went in, Gome was in chaos, but the chaos didn't last too long. Such a short amount of time was not enough for Suning to complete the rearrangement.

But now that the layout is being made several years in advance, and the investment scale is not small, even if it is suppressed, it can still occupy some markets.

When the country and the United States are in chaos, then it is time to fight back.

Suning, which has laid the foundation, dare not say that it is crushing against Gome without Lao Huang, but it is not a big problem to snatch about half of the market. After all, Zhang Jindong is not weak.

If Zhang Jindong can't seize this opportunity, then Li Dong can only say that this guy is too stupid.

If you cooperate with a stupid partner, you might as well give up, and you will fail if you fail.

These are Li Dong's thoughts, and he feels that the possibility of losing this agreement is still very small.

But in the eyes of outsiders, even Zhang Jindong himself, they all think Li Dong is a lunatic.

In their eyes, this agreement is the embodiment of Li Dong's madness.

It is crazy and unwise for any company to bet more than one billion, let alone when the situation is not conducive to itself.

Everyone didn't understand, including Shen Qian at this time.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, Shen Qian suddenly softened when she saw Li Dong's eyes that closed the curtain.

She had known for a long time that Li Dong was lonely.

So lonely that no one understands him, no one supports him.

Just like this cooperation with Suning, Li Dong didn't need to announce in advance, but he still did it.

Why?

Because within the group, almost no one would agree to such a crazy move.

Whether others agree or not, Li Dong doesn't need to care at all, because the distance is his own.

But Li Dong didn't seem to care, but in fact he compromised. He announced in advance that he wanted to make this an established reality, so that all the remote employees could understand him and support him.

At this time, if others don't support him, do you still have to put pressure on him?

Having figured this out, Shen Qian's face softened, and she was silent for a moment before softly saying: "Although I don't understand why you are in such a hurry, but since you want to do it, then do it. Do what you want to do, you Just be happy."

Li Dong glanced at her and suddenly laughed.

Shen Qian also laughed, maybe neither of them knew why they were laughing, but at this moment they were laughing so happily.

After laughing for a while, Shen Qian breathed out lightly and said, "Support is for support, but there are some things I have to remind you. North China is no better than East China. The reason why East China can develop smoothly is because Jiangbei belongs to East China. Several nearby provinces did not regard you as an outsider.

In their view, companies in Jiangbei are companies in East China, so you haven't encountered any obstacles.

However, the North China region, especially the Beijing-Tianjin region, is under great pressure from competition.

You said something happened to Gome. After all, this is just your personal opinion. With Gome here, our cooperation with Suning is destined not to be so smooth.

In addition, Suning has Gome as its opponent, and we also have opponents, whether it is Wumart or Jingkelong, or Home World and Carrefour. At this time, the retail market in Beijing and Tianjin has been divided.

When we enter the field, it must be difficult, so whether we can gain a firm foothold may not be as easy as you think. "

Li Dong nodded first, and then said with a serious face: "Not only these companies, but also China Resources."

"Huarun?"

Shen Qian was a little puzzled and said: "China Resources is not too strong in Beijing and Tianjin, maybe they are our opponents in East China, but in Beijing and Tianjin..."

"China Resources will soon acquire Homeworld."

Shen Qian was startled, and hurriedly said, "Is it true?"

"real."

"this!"

Shen Qian suddenly didn't know what to say, what is this?

One less wolf, but one more tiger.

At present, the home world is also a wall in front of the distance, and it is the gateway to the capital, but no matter how strong the home world is, it can still be hostile in their eyes.

However, when Home World was acquired by China Resources, it would not be so easy to deal with.

Seeing Shen Qian's worried face, Li Dong smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, China Resources is actually in the same situation as us. They also want to enter North China, and we can all be regarded as outsiders. In fact, maybe this matter is not good for us. It is not necessarily beneficial.

After all, comparatively speaking, in the eyes of major retail groups in North China, China Resources is ten times and a hundred times more dangerous than us.

With China Resources leading the way, everyone's focus must be on them. If we hitch a ride, we might be in a better position. "

Hearing what Li Dong said, Shen Qian breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Li Dong suspiciously and said, "Do you have any channels that I don't know about?"

She thinks she knows Li Dong quite well, and she also has a general understanding of Li Dong's network.

But sometimes Li Dong seems to be able to receive a lot of news in advance, like the previous acquisition era, and the Gome that was just said to be in trouble, and the current China Resources M&A world.

These things are all commercial secrets. Before the other group makes it public, only a small number of people know about it, and even within their own group it is a secret.

But now, Li Dongyuan was in Jiangbei, but he knew all about these things. Shen Qian had to suspect that he had his own secret channel.

Li Dong laughed and said, "It's just a few friends, I won't tell you about it, after all, there are some things that are not good to talk to people."

Seeing what he said, Shen Qian didn't pursue it.

At Li Dong's level, it's normal to make a few friends with unusual backgrounds.

Besides, she is not with Li Dong 24 hours a day, and there is no need to tell her all the friends Li Dong has made in private.

Then the two talked about business matters, and when it was almost ten o'clock, when the employees in the auditorium came out one after another, Shen Qian suddenly hesitated and said, "Li Dong, how about I..."

Li Dong stared at her without speaking.

Shen Qian struggled for a while, but finally shook her head and did not continue.

She didn't say anything, but Li Dong smiled and said, "You want me to ask Mrs. Chen for help?"

"Um."

Shen Qian didn't deny it either. After all, in her opinion, Suning and Yuanfang are not very competitive in the Beijing-Tianjin area at this time.

As an old-fashioned group in the capital city and a local household in the Beijing-Tianjin area, Shen's ability there is quite strong.

With the help of the Shen Group, together with Suning and Yuanfang, the three groups united front, it would be much less difficult for Yuanfang to gain a foothold in Beijing and Tianjin.

However, Li Dong had been against cooperating with Shen's before, so Shen Qian was afraid that he would be paranoid.

Seeing Shen Qian looking at him, Li Dong laughed and said: "It's not that I don't want to ask Shen's for help, the key is whether they will be willing? Your thoughts will always only represent yourself, not the entire Shen's."

"Say it yourself, would Mrs. Chen be willing to help us?

As for the cooperation, the hotel and tourism industries that Shen is engaged in actually don't help us much. There is not much business cooperation between the two parties. Even if they cooperate, the benefits may not meet their requirements. Therefore, in my opinion, the hope of cooperation is slim, and the help it brings is not too great.

As for Shen's personal network, it is their own, a single business cooperation, why should they use it for us?

So don't worry about this matter, it's not that I reject it, but the effect may not be as good as you imagined. "

Hearing Li Dong's analysis, Shen Qian thought about it and didn't say anything more.

As Li Dong said, the Shen family is the Shen family, and Shen Qian is Shen Qian.

What she thinks in her heart, Chen's may not be able to do it, even if her mother's status in Shen's is not ordinary, the outcome will be the same.

At this time, expecting Shen's Gu Nian to help them for free is like a dream.

As a business family, the members of the Shen family are not benevolent people.

After talking about these things, Li Dong looked at the time and said: "Let's not talk about this now, it's getting late, I'll take you back."

"No need, you are tired today, go back and rest yourself first."

"Let me send you off."

Li Dong insisted on sending it off, but Shen Qian didn't show any pretense, and agreed with a smile on her face.
