Nine Hundred and Fortieth Chapters Set the Tone

Li Dong saw Ma Yun, and Ma Yun naturally saw him too.

Smiling and nodding towards Li Dong, Ma Yun didn't come to talk.

He didn't come, but Li Dong took the initiative to walk over.

Ma Yun was planning to chat with Guo Guangchang, but since Li Dong came, it was not good to turn around and leave at this time, which would highlight the conflict.

After meeting, Li Dong smiled and said, "Brother Ma, why are you interested in joining in the fun?"

Ma Yun smiled and said: "Idle is also idle, come here for a walk. By the way, I forgot to introduce you, this is Yintai's Mr. Shen, this is Shanda's Mr. Chen..."

Li Dong and the two shook hands with each other, then smiled at Chen Tianqiao: "Mr. Chen, I have known you for a long time."

Chen Tianqiao was a little surprised, he is just a soy sauce party at the moment, and he just came here to join in the fun.

Ma Yun invited him to join the shares, but he refused.

However, many business tycoons came to the banquet today, and he also wanted to come over. Originally, he thought that Li Dong would communicate with Ma Yun, but unexpectedly, he chatted with him instead.

Hearing Li Dong's greeting, Chen Tianqiao also smiled and said, "President Li, it's a pleasure to meet you."

He wasn't too enthusiastic, and Chen Tianqiao could be considered a person who had experienced wind and rain.

Shanda was listed on NASDAQ in 2004, and he became the richest man in China at that time.

At that time, he was just 31 years old.

A man who has become the richest man in his thirties, although his development has not been as good as others in the past few years, it does not mean that he is weak.

In fact, Chen Tianqiao's strategic vision is absolutely top-notch, but he always moves too fast, and instead is not recognized by the market.

In the future, when Xiaomi and LeTV's rivalry for hegemony will shine on Internet TV, many people don't know that Shanda started to make this as early as 2005, which is the famous Shanda Box.

It's a pity that one step ahead of others is a genius, but a few steps ahead of others is a madman.

Shanda spent a huge amount of money on the box, but failed to get the return he wanted. Shanda's Disney empire, which built a virtual world, gradually went bankrupt.

It is also a kind of sadness to have vision without the right time and place.

And most of the time, it seems that he deliberately opposed Chen Tianqiao. In 2006, when he raided Sina, he was already very sure to win Sina and become the largest shareholder of Sina.

In the end, Sina came up with a poison pill plan, which made him in a dilemma.

The failure of Shanda Box's strategy and the failure of raiding Sina to expand the entertainment empire can't be blamed on him, it can only be said that the time is not on his side.

Up to now, Shanda has been injured several times, and it is no longer what it was before.

You know, in the past two years, Shanda was known as one of the seven giants of the Internet Warring States Period, standing side by side with Ali and Baidu.

But now, the gap between the two sides has been widened, and it will never be the same as before.

Of course, Li Dong didn't feel sorry for him either, he could only say that time is fate.

Moreover, Lao Chen had a good life in the future. Although he was not well-known in the investment world, he did extremely well in several financial operations and made a lot of profits.

Without the shackles of Shanda, his life is better, and he is also a frequent visitor to the Hurun List.

The two were polite, and Li Dong took the initiative to open the topic: "Mr. Chen, I heard that you increased your capital by 100 million yuan to the starting point last year, for the benefit of the public!"

Chen Tianqiao was dumbfounded, and Ma Yun and Shen Guojun also looked at each other in blank dismay.

What are you doing?

We are here to talk about big things today, why are you talking about the beginning?

And what is 100 million to you, Li Dong, what does this guy mean?

Ma Yun wanted to leave, but also wanted to hear what Li Dong wanted to do, so he resisted his depression and stayed.

Although Chen Tianqiao didn't know what Li Dong wanted to do, she still smiled and said, "It's not as good as Mr. Li's generosity, I'm laughing at you."

Li Dong shook his head and said: "I'm not flattering Mr. Chen, I'm really grateful to Mr. Chen, if it weren't for you, how could there be so many authors creating and bringing us all kinds of wonderful literary works.

I personally like to read novels, and relax in my spare time.

Mr. Chen, just for this, I have to thank you.

However, I feel that the current starting point still cannot meet my expectations, and I hope that more fans will join the ranks.

Mr. Chen, if we have time, I think we can have a chat.

Yuanfang is also doing interactive entertainment now, but I'm quite interested in some of Shanda's projects. "

Chen Tianqiao couldn't laugh or cry, didn't he agree that Li Dong was here to talk about Carrefour this time, why did he suddenly talk to him.

Speechless, Li Dong took the initiative to invite, Chen Tianqiao didn't lose face, and said with a smile: "You are welcome anytime."

Seeing this, Li Dong stopped talking, and said with a smile: "Then I won't bother you, Brother Ma, Mr. Shen, I'll go there first."

Ma Yun responded with a smile, and when Li Dong left, Shen Guojun sighed: "I'm under a lot of pressure when I'm with you. People don't look at me, I feel very hurt."

Ma Yun smiled softly: "If you can win Carrefour this time, people will look at you next time."

Shen Guojun shrugged and said: "I hope, but I don't think there is much hope.

Ma, it’s not that I don’t have confidence, but we have no fundamental advantage over the others.

Compared with Yuanfang and China Resources, the gap between Yintai and Yuanfang and China Resources is not small. At this time, it is not only a matter of money, but also future prospects and industrial planning...

Carrefour may not care about these, as long as they take back the benefits.

But the government will also exert influence on this matter, you should know what I mean. "

Ma Yun frowned slightly and nodded.

Of course he understands that Carrefour is a foreign-funded enterprise, this is one point.

Another point is that such a large-scale merger and acquisition of Chinese and foreign companies must be approved by the government's policies.

Carrefour only cares about profit, but the government also cares about long-term planning.

Otherwise, the stores of Carrefour were handed over to Intime, and Intime did not have the ability to build it up, so what if it collapsed.

This time Carrefour retreated, there are still seven or eight thousand employees waiting to be dealt with.

Although he knew it would be difficult, Ma Yun still said: "Try it, how will you know if you don't try it. Even if it doesn't work, you have to cause some trouble to Yuanfang.

This guy has been messing with me, and this time I will try to be a shit stirrer. "

Shen Guojun and Chen Tianqiao couldn't help laughing, Ma Yun thought about it and asked Chen Tianqiao: "Old Chen, is your starting point standing?"

Chen Tianqiao nodded, Ma Yun thought for a while and said, "Li Dong suddenly mentioned this, what's in his mind?"

Shen Guojun laughed a little and said: "Don't think about him, you don't allow people to have hobbies. Didn't he say that he likes to read novels, don't be surprised."

Ma Yun felt that there was no need to think too much, and said casually: "If he is really interested, Lao Chen, try selling him for a high price later.

This guy doesn't care much about money, anyway, the literature website is easy to do, the worst is to start a new one, Li Dong's money is not for nothing. "

Chen Tianqiao and the two laughed again, but they didn't take it too seriously.

To be honest, it's just a website, and the concept of IP is not popular at this time, so it's nothing to them.

Even on Shanda's side, it's just a simple improvement of their interactive entertainment empire.

Just like what Ma Yun said, if Li Dong is really interested, he can sell it if he sells it, and at worst, he can make a new one. In the eyes of several people, it is really not difficult.

...

Ballroom.

Li Dongdong strolled around and chatted with many people for a while.

Hong Ji from China Resources, Ma Xingsheng from Bailian, and Li Dong, the president of Tesco's China Region, all chatted for a few words.

At this time, he didn't care whether everyone was a competitor.

It's the same for others, Carrefour hasn't talked about this yet, so it's unnecessary to make a fuss now.

After wandering around for half an hour, the situation finally changed.

The heads of several major retail groups approached Du Lan one after another, and Li Dong was also invited by Chen Ying to have a drink together.

As soon as Li Dong arrived, he was regarded as the finale, and the others had already moved closer.

When he came, the others nodded their heads.

Li Dong responded, looked at Du Lan and said, "Mr. Du Lan, how about we get straight to the point? Everyone is busy now, and I like to be straightforward. Say what you want, and don't take offense if you make a mistake."

Dulan laughed and said, "Li, if you have something to say, I didn't make a mistake when I said that, right?"

"No, Mr. Duran said very well."

Li Dong laughed, looked at the others again, and said, "There should be no doubt that Carrefour will withdraw from Huaxia, right?"

Dulan sighed: "Although I am sorry, this point has indeed been recognized by Carrefour headquarters."

"That's good. With this foundation, we can talk about the rest."

Li Dong continued: "The next thing we mainly talk about is who will fill the market gap left by Carrefour.

Carrefour has developed in China for 13 years and has a total of 113 stores, including 16 hypermarkets.

For Carrefour, there are only two ways out, first, split and transfer, and second, package.

Of course, if Carrefour is willing, there is a third way to go, which is to choose a Chinese company for joint venture.

But I'm not optimistic about this point. Carrefour has a bad reputation in China now. I'm sorry to say it directly. This is a fact.

Your brand value cannot be fully reflected in this merger and acquisition, so I don't think it is necessary for a joint venture.

Of course, if someone wants to do this, then just pretend I didn't say it, but I'm afraid the consequences will not be too good. "

Everyone frowned, even Duran couldn't help frowning.

It's okay for this guy to turn his back on customers, and the last words obviously contained threats in it.

Li Dong's meaning is very clear, Carrefour can only take the first two paths, everyone fights for it according to their ability.

But if any Huaxia company is going to make a joint venture, Li Dong will definitely not give up, and will continue to fight, isn't he crazy!

The rhythm of completely harming others and benefiting oneself!

Everyone was dissatisfied and dissatisfied, and no one interrupted at this time.

To be honest, Carrefour really has a bad reputation now. It has been tricked by Li Dong several times. The brand value of the world's second largest retailer is almost stink in Huaxia.

If someone is willing to make a joint venture, I am afraid they will not offer too high a price, and Carrefour will not sell their brands cheaply.
