Chapter 833 Go Your Own Way and Let Others Have No Way to Go
"Today everyone can come here to celebrate my little girl's birthday in spite of their busy schedules, Hu is very grateful..."
Hu Ming on the stage smiled like Maitreya Buddha, and the smile on the old fox's face seemed to never break.
Sometimes Li Dong admires these people.
A smiling face greets people all day long, isn't it afraid of muscle strain on the face, or is the strain already fixed, and even sleeps at night with this expression?
While speculating unkindly in his heart, Li Dong suddenly saw Hu Xiaorui yawn, and couldn't help laughing.
This girl is quite casual, your father is giving a passionate speech, so you should cooperate with me anyway.
Although the few people standing near Li Dong didn't laugh, they all had strong smiles on their faces.
Of course, everyone is not surprised.
Everyone has heard about Hu Xiaorui's character, he always does what he wants, so yawning at this time is nothing, it's fine if he didn't leave the scene directly.
Hu Ming didn't notice this, and was still giving a welcome speech enthusiastically.
While talking on the stage, Li Dong suddenly felt a figure beside him.
Turning her head to take a look, Zhang Lanyu was standing next to him with a red wine glass, staring at the front, and said with a chuckle, "I didn't expect you to come tonight."
Li Dong said with a smile: "Xiaorui is my friend, it should be."
"Understood." Zhang Lanyu said with a smile on her face, "I heard that this girl's Dongxing Entertainment is a joint venture with you. Even the company is named after you. Jiangbei knows that she is your friend."
Li Dong didn't know if he said this casually or meant something else.
But at this time, Li Dong didn't care too much about it, nodded and said: "It is indeed a joint venture between us, but it is just for fun."
"You can easily invest hundreds of millions in playing tickets, the richest man Li is really extraordinary."
Zhang Lanyu made a joke, but did not continue the topic.
Talking lightly and talking deeply, the relationship between her and Li Dong is not that deep yet.
Going on, it's annoying.
Putting these aside, Zhang Lanyu changed the subject and said: "Recently there have been a lot of news from far away. You just finished fighting with Su Guo not long ago. I heard that you are now fighting against Wumart in Beijing, and you will soon enter the Shanghai stock market. Are you afraid of making too many enemies? "
Li Dong shook his head and said: "It's not that we make enemies, it's that others occupy the latrine and don't shit.
Although Wumart has done well in Beijing and Tianjin in the past few years, it is only thinking about killing domestic retail companies.
As a result, internal strife in the Beijing-Tianjin supermarket chain industry led to foreign investors such as Carrefour and Wal-Mart entering Beijing and Tianjin.
Up to now, the market of Wumart in Beijing and Tianjin is slightly higher than that of Carrefour.
Look at me again, how many foreign-funded retail companies do you see in Jiangbei?
How many are there in Sunan?
Compared with Wumart, I admire Suguo more.
Since they can't do it and let foreign-funded enterprises take advantage of it, it's better to let me come in and play.
When I gain a firm foothold, I will kick out all these foreign-funded groups! "
Zhang Lanyu seemed to be acquainted with Li Dong for the first time, and she was stunned after hearing these words.
Not admiration, but a little surprise.
Is this guy still an angry youth?
Not ordinary cynics, but special cynics!
To be honest, there are not many people who are obsessed with national brands these days, and everyone is fighting for their own interests.
As for whether it is a state-owned enterprise, a foreign capital, or a joint venture, few people have this concept.
Even Suguo, under the banner of a national brand, is actually fighting for interests.
Li Dong's remarks sounded not only for profit, but also for obvious hostility to foreign capital.
If Li Dong was over fifty this year, Zhang Lanyu wouldn't be so surprised, but this guy is clearly only in his early twenties, how could his thinking be so extreme.
Zhang Lanyu pondered for a moment, then said after a while: "Is this the purpose of your rapid expansion?"
"no."
"Well……"
Zhang Lanyu was stunned again, she suddenly felt that she didn't understand Li Dong, and couldn't keep up with this guy's thinking at all.
Seeing her dazed, Li Dong couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't look at me like that, what you said before was just a joke.
certainly,
There is still a little bit of cynicism, but it's not serious.
It's just business expansion, why do you have to find so many reasons.
I want to expand to the whole country, and I want to speed up the layout, and it is inevitable to offend people.
But then again, what I said earlier is not a lie.
It's not that I'm hostile to foreign capital, but it's always a little uncomfortable to see others taking our money, or even stealing money from my pocket.
If it is a high-tech industry, I will admit it. After all, we are late in development and still need the help of these foreign-funded enterprises.
But as a retail enterprise, and it is still a traditional retailer, are we weaker than these foreign devils?
We can achieve high-end and civilianization, and we can do it well.
If you can do it yourself, you don't need to rely on foreign-funded enterprises. "
Zhang Lanyu always felt that there was something wrong with these words, but she couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.
Li Dong is right, the retail industry is not a high-tech industry.
What foreign companies can do, domestic companies can also do.
But these days, everyone is seeking common ground while reserving differences. You earn what you get, and I earn what you get.
Li Dong is different, this guy really kills his opponents.
He likes to control all the territories that he has the upper hand in.
On Jiangbei's side, at the beginning, the large, medium and small retail groups didn't know much about it. As a result, Li Dong would rather not make money, and spent a lot of money to kill Jiangbei's retail enterprises.
The same is true in southern Jiangsu, although Suguo still occupies half of the market in Jinling area.
But Zhang Lanyu has no doubt that this is because Li Dong is not strong enough. If he has the strength to resist China Resources, he will definitely not let Su Guo linger in southern Jiangsu.
Harmony in the mall makes money, but it doesn't work in Li Dong.
To sum up, Li Dong's behavior is too domineering!
Zhang Lanyu didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. Anyway, all these years of experience in shopping malls made her feel that Li Dong would go into trouble sooner or later if he continued to do this.
Business people can tolerate failure and competitors to seize the market.
But the existence of Li Dong will not be tolerated. His existence has broken the unspoken rules of the business world.
Being domineering is actually not a problem, but generally one has that strength to be domineering.
Li Dong has not reached that point yet, if he kills a few more companies, it is likely to arouse the hostility of the entire retail industry.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lanyu couldn't help but think of a sentence: go your own way and let others have no way to go.
This is what Li Dong is doing now.
This style of acting generally has two consequences.
The first one is to be domineering until the end and become the only winner in the end.
Second, become an enemy of the whole people, and die in an ugly way in the end.
Zhang Lanyu didn't know which kind Li Dong would be, glanced at Li Dong's cheek from the corner of the eye, and saw that he was smiling casually, Zhang Lanyu fell into deep thought again.
Seeing that Zhang Lanyu was silent, Li Dong didn't bother her either.
When Hu Ming on the stage finished speaking, Li Dong smiled and applauded.
Zhang Lanyu was awakened by the applause, and exhaled lightly. Zhang Lanyu saw Xu Shengzhe walking here not far away, and knew that he was looking for Li Dong.
Before leaving, Zhang Lanyu said in a low voice, "Someone saw Chen Rui in Pingchuan not long ago."
Leaving these words behind, Zhang Lanyu left gracefully.
Li Dong was refreshed, Chen Rui?
That guy is back in Jiangbei!
Speaking of which, Li Dong's impression of Chen Rui was a little fuzzy.
But when Zhang Lanyu mentioned it, Chen Rui's face appeared in Li Dong's mind again.
Chen Rui is actually quite a complicated person. It would not be wrong to say that he is useless.
When he was in Jiangbei, Chen Ruineng became the leader of the second-generation official circle not only because of his father's position.
His father was still in the top ten in Jiangbei, but Chen Rui was much better than others.
Chen Rui lacked ability and bearing.
When Li Donggang met Chen Rui, he felt that he was not weak, better than most second generations.
However, when he met Chen Rui again in the capital, Li Dong found that Chen Rui was a lot more extreme, and his whole style changed drastically.
In fact, Chen Rui shouldn't have asked Li Dong for the 50 million Swiss francs.
This kind of thing can't be brought to the surface. When Chen Rui sold the villa to Li Dong, he should have made such preparations.
Even when he left Jiangbei, he had already made such preparations.
Sell a favor to Li Dong, because he is optimistic about Li Dong, this favor is also sold successfully.
However, after staying in the capital for a while, Chen Rui's attitude and thoughts changed.
When he met Li Dong again, he took the initiative to mention this matter, and even threatened Li Dong with the resignation of the executive vice governor.
The original favor was broken in an instant.
The gift of favors was not thorough enough, but both sides had pimples in their hearts. If it were Chen Rui in the Jiangbei period, this kind of thing would not have happened.
However, Li Dong could also understand that falling from a high position suddenly, this kind of psychological gap is not something ordinary people can bear.
Chen Rui in the capital period was extreme, gloomy, and forbearing. This may also be a new way of survival.
No matter how Chen Rui changes, Li Dong has already treated him as a passer-by in his life.
But now that Chen Rui came back and quietly returned to Pingchuan, Zhang Lanyu specially reminded herself, what is the meaning of it?
Could it be that Chen Rui came back this time to target himself?
Li Dong raised his eyebrows slightly, pondered for a moment, and felt that there was still such a possibility, and it was very big.
Fifty million Swiss francs is not a small amount, and Chen Rui will definitely not be reconciled.
And Li Dong would not return the money to him, it was because Chen Rui threatened him and he was unwilling to compromise.
Now there is no need for this, if you really want to pay it back, it will be even more troublesome.
Why would he give Chen Rui three hundred million for no reason?
If it gets out, that's going to be a big problem.
At that time, I can't tell what to say, and the relationship between him and Chen Rui is not particularly good. If he gave Chen Rui 300 million for no reason, wouldn't others suspect or investigate?
In the end, maybe some bigger troubles will be involved.
If he didn't give the money to Chen Rui, I'm afraid he wouldn't be reconciled according to that guy's current personality.
After thinking about it, Li Dong lost his mind again.
