Seven Hundred and Eighty First Chapter August Wind and Cloud

Taobao can become the first is not accidental.

The response mechanism of the other party was very fast. Before the public opinion reached its peak, Taobao took countermeasures.

On July 28, Taobao issued a new anti-counterfeiting policy.

The announcement was released in the morning, and Taobao unilaterally closed dozens of stores in the afternoon, and public opinion reversed for a while.

Many people clapped their hands and applauded, thinking that Taobao was vigorous and resolute.

Provincial Party Committee Compound.

Li Dong moved back again, he was really tired these days.

Originally, he wanted to rest for a few days, but because there was no such independent decision-making manager in the mall, there was a slight change, and the people from the mall came here again.

Lying on the recliner in the small courtyard, Li Dong felt a little helpless.

Seeing Liu Hong's guilty face and Shen Qian's helpless attitude, Li Dong couldn't help complaining: "Can you not come to me for anything else? Yuan Chengdao, doesn't that guy care about the mall?"

"And you, Shen Qian, can you take some responsibility? You haven't left your job yet, can you help me deal with the problem."

When Li Dong said this, Shen Qian was fine, but Liu Hong's heart skipped a beat.

leave?

Mr. Shen is leaving?

Shen Qian didn't care about Liu Hong, and when she heard Li Dong's complaint, Shen Qian also said aggrievedly: "I want to care, but the key is that everyone doesn't trust me, so what can I do. Now everyone regards you as a life-saving straw. It’s a shame to be the president.”

Li Dong glanced at Liu Hong when he heard the words, and Liu Hong hurriedly complained: "Mr. Li, don't look at me, we are not suspicious of Mr. Shen. The key is that Mr. Shen himself said that she is no match for you, so we came to you to find a way .”

Shen Qian coughed lightly and said: "Anyway, you're idle, so just think of a way. Now that Taobao has made rectifications, we continue to attack, but the effect is not great.

On the other hand, they continue to cut prices, shall we continue to follow?

If we continue to follow, we will lose a lot, but if we don’t follow, how to deal with triple compensation? "

"I won't follow. I've seen their prices. If we continue to follow, we won't be able to sustain it."

"What about the previous promise?"

Li Dong lazily said: "What else can we do? Let's die together. Go to the State Administration for Industry and Commerce to report them for unfair competition and disrupting the order of the e-commerce market. Don't find anyone this time, we will report with our real names.

When things get serious, the higher-ups will naturally come forward to resolve them.

It’s about to enter August, and the promotional activities have hit so far, and many platforms can’t take it anymore. At this time, we will come forward, and everyone will not resist.

The next biggest possibility is the end of the price war, and on August 1st, our promotion on all platforms will begin.

Even if the price advantage is smoothed out, if we promote it properly, we will still have an advantage.

In this way, I can save a little loss. The State Administration for Industry and Commerce came forward to stop it. This is an accidental factor. When we restore the price, consumers have nothing to complain about.

What's more, the promotion has been going on for more than ten days, and everyone's consumption is not high now, so the time is just right. "

Hearing what Li Dong said, Shen Qian frowned and said, "Reporting with real name, wouldn't you completely tear yourself apart from Taobao?"

Li Dong said indifferently: "Could it not be the case before? We have always been concerned about his position. We are our opponents. What are we afraid of? Real name or not real name means the same thing, and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce will pay more attention to real names."

Yuanfang Mall is currently the second largest e-commerce platform in China, and Yuanfang Group is a top-ranking private enterprise.

Yuanfang came forward to report, and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce would definitely accept it soon.

Now that the price war has come, many people can't stand it anymore, and others won't object too much. Yuanfang is willing to take the blame, and they can't wait for it.

Now that Li Dong said so, Liu Hong nodded and said, "Then I'll make arrangements right away."

"Deal with this matter as soon as possible, and before the 1st, it must be online. Next, I will not invest in the mall anymore. I have paid a lot of money for this event.

By the way, as of today, how much is the sales of the mall? "

Today is July 29th, and the promotion has been going on for 11 days.

After the outbreak in the early stage, the data should gradually ease down in the past few days.

Liu Hong answered as Li Dong expected, "2.5 billion!"

In the first five days, the mall's sales were close to 1.5 billion, but the subsequent figures have dropped to 2.5 billion now.

Of course, it was a miracle to be able to do this in ten days.

There will be another promotion in the distance later, and there is still more than half of the promotion month, so the 5 billion should be about the same by the end.

It was just bragging to say 10 billion before, and it is unlikely to achieve 10 billion in a month. In fact, reaching half has exceeded many people's expectations.

"5 billion..." Li Dong secretly calculated, if it can reach 5 billion, his loss should not be too much.

The main reason is its own operating costs, and Yuanfang has not provided any subsidies in other respects.

After thinking about it, Li Dong asked again: "How much is the sales of our self-operated system, and how much is the sales of other brands?"

"Because our own activities are more, the total sales are between 1.6 billion. The sales of other brands are about 900 million."

"That is to say, after a month, they can probably sell 2 billion yuan." At this time, Li Dong and Lao Ma also thought about it, if only the fee would be better.

According to Tmall's charging standard in the previous life, it was generally kept at about 3% of sales.

Adding in other fees, he can charge nearly 100 million in this wave alone, unlike now, he can't get a penny.

However, there is no way to do this. Yuanfang has just started to introduce foreign brands, and others will not be happy if they ask for a fee before seeing the results.

Now that we have seen the results, everyone probably won't be too willing because they didn't make money from the event.

Only when they really see the profit and see the vast potential of the e-commerce market, these people will be willing to be exploited by the platform.

Without thinking about it, Li Dong continued: "How much is Taobao?"

"They... are slightly taller than us, maybe 2.8 billion."

Liu Hong was a little apprehensive when he said this. After all, Yuan Fang had fought so hard this time, and he hadn't beaten the opponent yet. He was afraid that Li Dong would blame him.

Li Dong didn't blame him, and said casually: "Just a little more, I hope I can catch up later. Without the price advantage, I don't believe that I can't surpass him. Go back and deal with it. Don't look for me if there is no big problem recently. You can decide for yourself."

"Then I'll go first."

Liu Hong got up, greeted Li Dong and Shen Qian, and left in a hurry.

After he left, Li Dong yawned and said, "I've put too much energy into the mall this time, which has delayed a lot of business. From now on, I don't care about the mall, you can figure it out yourself.

Anyway, what we need to do now is to consolidate the foundation. By the way, are you really going to Fengcheng on the 1st to investigate the location of the data center? "

"Of course, the itinerary has been set." Shen Qian asked, "When is Qin Yuhan leaving?"

"The summer vacation is over."

"Then I will investigate and come back in September."

Li Dong was a little helpless, but he didn't persuade him, and it was considered a vacation after going out for a month.

Shen Qian is also very tired these days, so she wants to relax.

After finishing talking about the mall, Shen Qian continued: "Recently, the bank seems to be tightening its monetary policy. On the 20th, the interest rate on deposits and loans has been raised. In the past two days, news has spread that the deposit reserve ratio will be raised soon. Is the housing market going to be restricted?"

Listening to Shen Qian talking about this, Li Dong squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "It is best to curb the real estate market. Anyway, we don't have much land now. But it is not obvious yet. Although the interest rate has been raised, due to the impact of the stock market, the real estate boom will not be so hot." fades easily.

I'm just waiting for the government to make some big moves to make Xu Shengzhe proud.

In addition, I heard that the plan for Xinqiao Airport is about to be passed. Why hasn't it come down yet? "

Shen Qian said casually: "The plan is a foregone conclusion, but some things still have to go through the process. The official document will be issued around September. Why, you want to sell the land in the west city?"

The land in the west district is now the housekeeper of Dongyu Real Estate and the confidence of Yuanfang Group.

For 8,000 mu of land, even if one mu is sold for 500,000 yuan, that would be an income of 4 billion yuan.

If it weren't for the support of this land, the distant side would not dare to expand so frantically. Before Beijing and Tianjin are over, the expansion of Yu Province, Shancheng, and Shanghai will start immediately.

Li Dong laughed and said, "I'm not planning to sell the land, I'm planning to exchange some land for fun. Of course, it would be better to get some cash."

"Are you really going to continue doing real estate?"

Sometimes Shen Qian doesn't know what Li Dong means. She has sold a large amount of land and now wants to continue to do real estate. Isn't this a waste of time?

"Let's talk about it, how is the talk about Opal going?"

"Chen Yongping only agreed to sell 15% of the shares, and the asking price was not low, 200 million. I directly refused."

Li Dong was a little annoyed when he heard the words: "Why did you refuse?"

Shen Qian frowned and said: "Although I don't know why you insist on buying Opal, but you should not be too obvious. Opal's valuation is not high now, 200 million is enough to buy 30% of their shares, and now the premium is doubled, we agree It's stupid!

Once we agreed to this plan, they became suspicious and even canceled the transaction.

Let them hang out first, don't worry about it, I'm going to investigate this time, if I have enough time, I'll go to Guancheng myself.

I don't believe that they can't be taken down. 200 million is definitely enough to get 30% of the equity. Don't take money for money. "

Although Li Dong wanted to win Opal, he also knew that what Shen Qian said was reasonable, so he nodded and said, "That's fine, it's up to you. But if it's a last resort..."

"I'll see."

After Shen Qian said that, Li Dong had no choice but to nod.

In a blink of an eye, it was August.

Starting from August 1st, Yuanfang Supermarket stores have started to open one after another.

The expansion of stores in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Shandong provinces began last year. Half of this year has passed, and most stores have begun to operate.

As of August 5th, the total number of stores in Yuanfang Supermarket has reached 300!

With each store put into operation, Yuanfang has achieved bumper harvests one after another.

On August 8, Yuanfang was awarded the title of "Key Contact Enterprise of the State Economic and Trade Commission" by the Economic and Trade Commission.

On the 9th, Huaxia Quality Inspection Association issued two plaques to Yuanfang, "National Quality and Service Integrity Demonstration Enterprise" and "National Industry Quality Demonstration Enterprise".

On the 10th, the Jiangbei Provincial Government rated Yuanfang as a "big law-abiding taxpayer" enterprise.

A string of honors followed.

Li Dong knows that all this is because he has opened up the East China regional market.

In the past, Yuanfang only had influence in Jiangbei and southern Jiangsu, but this time the market in the three provinces has been opened, and Yuanfang has completely entered the ranks of top retail giants.

At this time, these honors naturally go to the distant place.

Throughout August, state-level departments continued to come to Yuanfang for inspections. Although they were all Qingshui yamen and some important figures did not come, it also greatly increased Yuanfang's reputation and honor.

On the Jiangbei provincial government side, Qin Hanyuan personally came to inspect from afar.

This is the first time in several years. Since Yuanfang Group was established, only Du Anmin has been here as a leader at the provincial party committee level. In fact, this itself is a bit abnormal.

But now everything has changed, Du Anmin will leave soon, and Qin Hanyuan has already settled down to take over.

At this time, of course Qin Hanyuan wanted to show his sense of existence. As the No. 1 private enterprise in Jiangbei, Yuanfang Group had to show its importance to Jiangbei government.

In the past, the distant places have been trapped in Jiangbei and Jiangsu, and their influence has not yet reached that level.

However, when the stores in the three provinces are put into operation, everyone will understand that a retail giant has completely risen.

Yuanfang Group, with more than 20,000 employees, is worthy of attention no matter where it is at this time.

In August, the harvest continued in the distance, but the subprime mortgage crisis in foreign countries intensified.

On August 6, the tenth largest mortgage lender in the United States filed for bankruptcy.

On the 9th, BNP Paribas announced the suspension of the transactions of its three funds involved in the US mortgage business, followed by the European Central Bank announcing that it would provide 94.8 billion euros to relevant banks...

The subprime mortgage crisis completely spread to the western market!

At this time, the country also noticed this change, and the businessmen who hadn't paid much attention to it before suddenly panicked.

With the emergence of policy regulation, the central bank began to raise interest rates and loan interest rates, and the mortgage loan review became more and more stringent. The previous strategy of raising land with land suddenly became difficult.

Although not very obvious, this change can be clearly felt.

coffee house.

Xu Shengzhe's face was a little heavy. In the past year, Longhua has expanded wildly, and the speed is not even slower than Yuanfang.

In terms of new cities, Longhua's investment is astronomical.

In addition to Xincheng, he was greedy enough, swallowing part of Hongtu Real Estate and Menshen Real Estate, and then won many pieces of land in Li Dong's hands.

After several rounds, the scale of Longhua has expanded by more than half, and the total market value has exceeded 20 billion.

Of course, the market value is the market value, but the net assets are stretched. The bank loan alone exceeds 8 billion, not to mention the arrears from other suppliers.

Seeing his solemn expression, Li Dong smiled and said: "What's the matter, newlywed Yan Er, you should be happy at this time, why do you look like someone owes you money?"

"Stop running on me! You already owe me money. Pay me back my 500 million. I don't want your bonds."

"Go dream!"
