Chapter 945 Ma Yun, You Are Timid
Seeing no one refuted, Li Dong continued: "Since there is no joint venture, the withdrawal of Carrefour this time can only focus on stores, and other added value is equivalent to zero."
After saying this, everyone secretly applauded, yes, well done!
Not counting the added value, if Carrefour sells only its stores, the value will shrink by billions!
Everyone acquiesced to this point, but Dulan's expression was extremely bad, and Luo Guowei who was on the side even cursed secretly, wishing he could slap him in the face.
This bastard is setting the tone!
Carrefour would be in a big loss if it was really based on store calculations.
What is single store counting?
You should know that many of Carrefour's stores are not bought by themselves, but only leased.
According to Li Dong's statement, these stores don't need to pay much, at worst, just pay a transfer fee.
How much can the transfer fee be, 1 million? Or 2 million?
If this is the case, the value of their hundreds of stores is only a few hundred million, plus some fixed assets, the total value may be less than one billion.
Then we have to deal with employee issues and compensate them for their losses. In the end, maybe Carrefour can only get three to five billion yuan.
If you really want to do this, Carrefour will simply become a big joke.
At this moment, Dulan finally understood why Carrefour failed in China. This guy is so shameless, and he is specifically looking at Carrefour. It is understandable for our kind-hearted French to be shamelessly defeated.
Suppressing his anger, Duran crackled and said a few words.
He did not use Chinese this time, he was indeed angry, and it was difficult to express it in Chinese.
Chen Ying, who was next to her, immediately translated: "This is impossible! Mr. Li, business negotiations are not what you do. What you are saying now is without sincerity. If you really insist, this time Carrefour's business negotiations may not be successful." distance."
Li Dong shrugged, smiled and said: "Don't be angry, we haven't started talking yet, let's set a standard first.
Besides, what I said is the truth, if you don’t believe me, ask everyone for their opinions? "
While others are competitors,
But at this moment, they have unified opinions.
This time Carrefour invited them to the banquet, originally to intensify their relationship and get the biggest bargaining chip.
But everyone is not a fool, how can we really let Carrefour get what it wants.
Temptation is tempting, competition is competition, but when it is necessary, everyone does not mind uniting the front and partnering to cheat Carrefour.
In fact, this is also where Carrefour made a mistake. They just think that there are too many people and the competition is intense.
But that's relatively speaking. If Li Dong didn't take the lead to set the tone, others might really start competing directly.
But Li Dong spoke first, and immediately set the tone. At this time, even if there are a few who disagree, they will not express different opinions at this time. Wouldn't it be his own foot and offend others.
After Li Dong finished speaking, Hong Ji also said: "Mr. Dulan, the situation is indeed the same as Mr. Li said. The current Carrefour not only has no added value, but will bring us negative effects.
You know, now Chinese people are very repulsive and disgusted with Carrefour.
Of course, Mr. Li said that it is not necessary to calculate the value only by stores.
After all, Carrefour has paid a lot over the years, and the friendship between our two countries is everlasting. In any case, with the concept of friendship, we cannot let Carrefour..."
Hong Ji crackled and said for a while, and everyone suppressed their smiles and remained silent.
Dulan was already sober at this time, he knew that it was a mistake to call everyone together just now, especially calling Li Dong over!
However, he is also a strong man in the business world. After realizing that this was wrong, he immediately chose to remedy it.
Before, he always felt that Chinese people fought fiercely, especially in face-to-face competition.
But in the end, Li Dong, the guy who was rumored to turn over the table when there was a disagreement, didn't turn over the table, but took him into the army instead.
This made Duran understand that the meaning of this banquet was less than half.
Of course, it is not a complete failure, at least let everyone see how many potential competitors they have and how many people are interested in Carrefour.
After they finished speaking, Dulan regained his composure and said with a smile, "Sorry, maybe I really overestimated Carrefour.
But it doesn't matter, isn't there a saying in Huaxia called "Business can't be done with benevolence and righteousness".
Let's not talk about business tonight, gentlemen and ladies, the banquet is for revelry, for enjoyment, come on, let's have a drink and let our enthusiasm go! "
As he spoke, Duran raised his wine glass and gestured to everyone.
Everyone else glanced at Li Dong, Li Dong curled his lips, wondering what I was doing, Du Lan suddenly stopped talking, what can I do.
In fact, Li Dong also understood that what he just did was actually useless.
Tonight was not a formal negotiation. No matter how much he said, everyone would compete when it was time to compete.
But he also planted a seed in everyone's heart, that is, the Carrefour brand is worthless.
Once it loses the halo of the world's second largest retailer, the value of Carrefour's stores in China is actually not as great as everyone imagined.
Although everyone didn't say anything, Li Dong knew that they should be paying attention.
Carrefour, which was originally worth 10 billion yuan, may be only 8 billion yuan in everyone's mind after this time.
When competing in the future, when the value exceeds their expectations, these people will consider whether it is worth it.
It can be regarded as excluding several competitors for himself. Generally speaking, Li Dong feels that this banquet is not in vain.
Dulan raised his glass, and Li Dong also raised his glass with a smile: "Then have a drink for Mr. Duran's reception. Thank you Mr. Duran for giving us this opportunity to gather together."
Everyone raised their glasses one after another, at this time they subconsciously regarded Li Dong as their representative.
Ma Yun, who was not far away, didn't come here, but just seeing everyone's words and deeds, Ma Yun couldn't help frowning and said: "The situation seems to be controlled by Li Dong, which is not a good phenomenon."
Guo Guangchang didn't go there either, and said with a smile: "Old Ma, don't be so concerned. In fact, the situation is already under Yuan Fang's control, and you should be prepared for this.
In the eyes of everyone, Yuanfang's inclusion of Carrefour is in line with public opinion.
You forcefully pick peaches, not to mention whether you can pick them or not, even if you do pick them, the loss will be heavy, and you will become sworn enemies with Yuan Fang. In my opinion, there is no need for this. "
Ma Yun sighed lightly: "It's not that we are against him, but he is against all of us.
I used to think that I was not afraid of anything, and I dared to compete with everyone, and nothing could stop me.
But this guy is more extreme and bolder than me. His philosophy has always been to be the first, the first in any industry, as long as they participate in it from afar.
Everyone has no objection to being the first, but he still wants to monopolize the market, so everyone can only fight back.
Otherwise, just sit back and watch him continue to grow bigger, and in the end, who will pay for us. "
Guo Guangchang frowned, and said lightly: "You are timid, this should not be your state of mind. Ma, you should go back and reflect on yourself during this time. Your state of mind is no longer as calm as before. As a friend, I feel that you are now It's decadent and dangerous.
If you were the old you, you wouldn't say such things.
You are you, you Ma Yun has your Ma Yun style, why bother to play with others. "
Ma Yun looked slightly startled, rubbed his cheeks and said, "Old Guo, is that so?"
"Of course, you'll know when you think about it."
Ma Yun's face changed for a while, as if it was true.
When did this change start?
It seemed, maybe it was the heavy snowfall a year ago, after he was severely injured by the distance, he was a little unsteady.
At that time, he felt that the heavens were helping Li Dong, and the whole world was helping Li Dong. Ma Yun didn't seem to care, but he felt a little depressed.
Then, he behaved a little bit at a loss.
A person's aura is accumulated slowly. In the past few years, Ma Yun has accumulated an invincible aura, and he can do things freely and smoothly.
At that time, he was determined and unwavering.
But when the distance broke his invincible momentum, Ma Yun gradually began to waver.
This is human nature, and many people make this mistake.
That sense of gap once caused many people to sink into it completely.
Unexpectedly, Ma Yun almost fell into it himself.
He is a smart person, and it is enough for a smart person to click a sentence. Ma Yun took a deep breath and said slowly: "Thank you, Lao Guo, I will go to West Lake to retreat for a month when I go back. Maybe my mentality is really out of balance."
Guo Guangchang smiled and said: "Normally, facing such a competitor, if it were me, I would also lose my mind.
It seems that the luck of the whole world is on him, as if he is the darling of heaven, it's no wonder we can balance.
Those of us who have not climbed up step by step from difficulties and obstacles.
But if you look at him, it's as if he's playing, he's making a distant place in the blink of an eye, there will always be some jealousy and envy. "
Ma Yun nodded, indeed.
Everyone has the seven emotions and six desires, and greed, hatred and ignorance are also inevitable.
When they felt that Li Dong's success came too easily, but their own road was bumpy, how could they calm down.
If it is not a competitor, if Li Dong surpasses too much, they will only be amazed and envious.
But the two sides are still at the same level now, and the feeling is different.
This is also the reason why Ma Yun's plans have been changing frequently recently. Sometimes he wants to do logistics, sometimes he wants to do retail, and he even wants to do Weibo...
These may be his real thoughts, but if it wasn't for a problem with his status, he wouldn't go online at the same time.
It was because he saw Li Dong doing it that he wanted to do it.
He wanted to disrupt Li Dong's rhythm, but finally found out that it was Li Dong who disrupted his own rhythm.
After drinking a glass of wine, Ma Yun looked at Li Dong in the distance again, feeling much clearer.
Suppressing all kinds of thoughts in his mind, Ma Yun said softly: "It's interesting, my fighting spirit has really come up now. Lao Guo, this time, Lao Shen and I will most likely not succeed. It's better for him to cause some trouble, and it's better to drag his energy on Carrefour."
Guo Guangchang didn't say anything, and he agreed with that.
Only by holding Li Dong back will everyone have a chance to take the opportunity to fight back. It seems that Ma Yun is about to make a big move.
