Chapter 655 Establishment of the Association

February 28th.

Pingchuan, which has been hazy for several days, finally ushered in the sunshine.

Green Building.

The red carpet was laid on the floor, and firecrackers were fired.

When Li Dong and Hu Ming picked up the scissors and cut the colored silk, everyone couldn't help laughing.

After laughing for a while, Xu Shengzhe said, "From now on, I can't be called Li Dong, and I can't be called Mr. Li either. I have to be called the president."

Everyone else laughed when they heard the words, and Chang Yuanshan, who was standing in the middle, smiled and said, "That's good. In fact, I hope that there will be more people in the association, and more people who need help. Everyone can help each other. Not only what you want, but also what our government wants to see.

President Li, I look forward to Jiangbei Mutual Aid Association continuing to grow in your hands and carry forward the fine style of our Jiangbei entrepreneurs. "

Li Dong nodded with a smile, and said hastily: "Then Chang Sheng has to take care of us more."

"Hahaha, you don't need to say this, as long as you need it, you can come to me at any time. Let Jiangbei's enterprises go out, let Jiangbei's elites go out, this is a scene that all of us are happy to see."

Chang Yuanshan's tone was sincere and his attitude was kind, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Li Dong didn't dare to take it seriously, the old fox might not know how to scold him now.

I won't talk about the previous things. Two days ago, Liu Long also tactfully passed a message to Li Dong through a middleman, hoping to join the association.

But Li Dong refused without even thinking about it, using the excuse that this was just an association for Jiangbei people to entertain themselves.

If that's all, Liu Long and Chang Yuanshan may not be dissatisfied.

But when the list of members who joined the club today is revealed, Liu Long will probably scold his mother angrily.

What about the Jiangbei People's Association?

There are more than 20 companies joining the association today, but there are only a dozen or so companies that truly belong to Jiangbei people, and at least seven or eight of them are either not from Jiangbei, or they are not Jiangbei people at all, but their companies are in Jiangbei.

If they can join the club, why can't Tanglong Group join the club?

certainly,

Li Dong didn't care how Liu Long scolded his mother, so what if he didn't give him membership.

Liu Long dared to think about opening up his network of contacts in Jiangbei with his own hands.

For this association, Li Dong himself spent a lot of time and network resources, not to mention, people like Hu Ming are all contributing.

Everyone finally built a network, how could they be willing to let other people come in and share the pie.

The more than 20 companies that have joined the association are all carefully selected by them. For this reason, Li Dong also rejected many candidates recommended by Hu Ming and the others.

As a result, Li Dong offended others, but Hu Ming and Ji Yuanzhong were also a little bit ashamed.

Let Liu Long come in at this time, isn't it a slap in the face.

I didn't think about these messy things anymore, and after Chang Yuanshan gave a speech at the invitation of everyone, Li Dong also came to the stage to read the association's articles of association.

In fact, that's what the charter is all about. Unity, friendship, mutual help, these are actually empty words.

Everyone gathers together for their own interests, and now there is no common front. Only after a long time, when everyone gets to know each other and understands each other, will everyone look at friendship and prospects.

After finishing talking about the regulations, Li Dong was not in a hurry to step down.

Today he invited a lot of media reporters. After a pause, Li Dong said slowly: "Next, I have something else I want to use today's opportunity to announce."

As soon as he said this, many people looked at Zhang Jindong next to him.

It's not a day since Li Dong said that he wants to cooperate with Suning. Li Dong said it at the annual meeting last year.

At that time, everyone knew that the two companies had hooked up. Today, Zhang Jindong came to attend the listing ceremony and served as the vice president of the association. Everyone probably guessed that the two companies might have reached an agreement.

Now that Li Dong said that he was going to announce something, everyone naturally thought of this immediately.

Sure enough, amid everyone's speculation, Li Dong slowly said: "The Yuanfang Group has reached a strategic cooperation with Suning, and the two parties will jointly invest 5 billion yuan to carry out industrial layout and upgrades in North China within the next three years..."

Next, Li Dong briefly revealed some cooperation content, such as how many stores are expected to be built, and how much profit will be made in the next few years...

After he finished speaking, Zhang Jindong also came over.

The two shook hands, and then Zhang Jindong took the microphone and said: "The cooperation between Suning and Yuanfang is just the beginning. In the next few years, we may reach more cooperation in more fields and industries. The funds for cooperation projects should be will exceed 10 billion.

The reason why I chose to announce today is also to contribute to the establishment of the Jiangbei Mutual Aid Association.

The reason why Mr. Li and I realized the cooperation is entirely due to the Jiangbei Mutual Aid Association.

Without the Mutual Aid Association, Mr. Li and I would not have known each other, and without the Mutual Aid Association, Suning and Yuanfang would not have reached a cooperation.

Now, the cooperation between Suning and Yuanfang has been reached, and we would like to thank President Li for providing us with this platform and an opportunity for us to work together..."

Zhang Jindong talked eloquently on the stage, and the members of the association next to him were all excited.

Ji Yuanzhong asked Hu Ming in a low voice in disbelief: "Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang really met when the association was established?"

Hu Ming nodded lightly and said, "I know what you mean, but it's the truth. The two of them had no friendship before, and they had never met before."

"It hasn't been long since Mr. Li proposed the establishment of the association, right? And he announced it at the annual meeting. Doesn't that mean that the two of them talked on the phone a few times before directly negotiating this cooperation?"

Hu Ming shook his head and said, "I don't know. I don't know if the two sides have met. But the time is really short. Of course, it's not just because of the association. You think they will have dozens of talks because of the association. Is it a tens of billions of cooperation projects?

But having said that, it is indeed the association that provided them with this platform and opportunity.

Just like Mr. Zhang said, if there is no association, they will not know each other. "

After Hu Ming finished speaking, many people around him nodded.

Many people's eyes are a little bright, and some of them were willing to join the mutual aid association because of favors.

But the joint efforts of Li Dong and Zhang Jindong gave them a lot of bright prospects.

Since these two people can reach a multi-billion cooperation, why can't they?

After all, the statute of the association also said that everyone should help each other.

...

The members of the association are eager to try, and the reporters in the audience are also eager to try.

After Li Dong and Zhang Jindong finished talking, someone immediately said loudly: "Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang, can you give us some time to ask a few questions?"

Li Dong glanced at Zhang Jindong, who nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Li Dong smiled and said: "Yes, but everyone should focus on the association. The cooperation between me and Mr. Zhang is only incidental, and we can't overwhelm the host."

Everyone roared with laughter.

In fact, how can everyone only ask about the association at this time, and the large-scale cooperation between the two chain giants, can we not ask about such things.

After Li Dong finished speaking, someone said immediately, "Mr. Zhang, may I take the liberty to ask you a question?"

Zhang Jindong said with a smile: "Don't stare at me, everyone. I'm a guest today, so you can just ask Mr. Li. But this is just the beginning, so you ask first. If I don't know, you can go to Mr. Li."

Everyone laughed again, and the reporter who had just asked the question quickly said: "Mr. Zhang, I want to know why Suning chose Yuanfang as a partner?"

As soon as he said this, Li Dong said unhappily: "The question is, why didn't we choose Suning?"

Jiangbei's media had dealt with Li Dong a lot, and knew that he was not really angry.

The reporter who asked the question bowed his hands and said with a smile: "President Li, don't take offense, I'm just telling the truth. After all, there are many large domestic chain supermarkets, but there are not many domestic home appliance chain giants. President Zhang put the local Suguo not to cooperate, Instead, we chose a distant place, and we are indeed a little curious."

Hearing this, Li Dong smiled and stopped talking, but looked at Zhang Jindong.

Zhang Jindong thought for a while, and then said: "Because of Mr. Li."

Many people looked at him curiously, Zhang Jindong continued: "To be honest, Mr. Li contributed a lot to Suning's cooperation with Yuanfang. I can't disclose the specifics now, but I still want to say a few points.

First, Mr. Li is very courageous!

Among the young people I have met, Mr. Li is definitely the most courageous. Among the courageous people I have met, Mr. Li is the youngest.

Second, Mr. Li has a big structure.

A big pattern does not mean bragging and nonsense. I still don't like this kind of person. In my opinion, Mr. Li's pattern can be realized.

Third, take a long-term view.

I won't say much about this point, and because of these points, Suning chose Yuanfang, and Yuanfang also chose Suning.

What I value is not Yuanfang, nor Yuanfang's tens of billions of capital, nor how far Yuanfang's industrial layout is. Mr. Li alone is worthy of our cooperation this time. "

After Zhang Jindong finished speaking, Li Dong laughed and said: "Boss Zhang has blown me up to the sky. I'm afraid I won't be able to go down the steps later."

Zhang Jindong said with a smile: "If you don't have steps to go down, you don't have to go down. Standing high and looking far away is very suitable for you now."

Li Dong suddenly burst out laughing. At this time, someone from the audience asked again: "Mr. Li, can I ask about your goals? The media has reported that you are targeting Gome and Wumart. What do you think about this issue?" of?"

Li Dong shook his head and said, "It's far-fetched."

"To put it bluntly, everyone does business to make money, who cares about those small grievances. The cooperation between Suning and Yuanfang this time is not for anyone, but to improve our industrial layout and market.

There may be competition, there is no denying that.

But to say that we are targeting them specifically is just a joke. Is the five billion investment just for personal grievances?

I'm not so irrational yet, and neither will Mr. Zhang.

The reason why you think so is because Gome and Wumart have great influence in North China now, and it is not unreasonable to regard them as our goals.

Of course, this is not referring to anyone in particular.

If Gome and Wumart were not the retail leaders in North China, we would not be staring at them. "

Everyone nodded, Li Dong was right.
