Chapter 968: Comprehensive Advancement

Chen Mingyong invited Li Dong to stay for a few days, but Li Dong couldn't agree.

This time, Li Dong came to Guangdong Province not only for the launch of OPPO mobile phones.

He has many other things to do.

When Yuanfang Supermarket first started, most of the suppliers were first- and second-tier agents.

When Yuanfang Supermarket grows to its current scale, it will not be in Yuanfang's interest to find an agent to continue supplying, and the cost will rise too much.

Now, most of the distant places directly find manufacturers to supply directly.

This time I came to Guangdong Province, OPPO was for one purpose, and the other was because of Chen Kaixuan's invitation.

Chen Kaixuan is the chairman of Liby. The director of Yuanfang Purchasing Department came to Liby a few days ago, and the two sides reached a rough strategic agreement.

Originally, this matter can be done without Li Donglai, and the director of the purchasing department can make his own decisions.

However, Chen Kaixuan and Li Dong are classmates in the business school. Although they don't usually meet each other, they often chat in the group.

This time when they heard that Yuanfang and Liby were going to reach a strategic agreement, many students from the business school made a fuss about coming to Guangdong to get together.

As one of the two parties in this cooperation, Li Dong couldn't justify it.

And Li Dong is not just for the class reunion, he has a lot of tasks to come to Guangdong Province this time.

The cooperation between Gome and Yuanfang failed in the end, and Suning occupied Yuanfang's electrical appliance market in Beijing and Tianjin.

However, Yuanfang itself is also making electrical appliances. Letting Suning continue to dominate is not in line with Li Dong's goal, and Yuanfang Mall is a big channel.

Now that Yuanfang is online and offline, it can be said that apart from Gome and Suning, it is the top home appliance retail giant.

The sales volume of home appliances in Yuanfang Mall even exceeds that of Five Star Appliances, which ranks first in the home appliance retail industry.

In this case, Yuanfang wants to continue to expand and reduce costs, so it is naturally the best choice to find a manufacturer to cooperate with.

Coincidentally, domestic home appliance giants Gree and Midea are headquartered in Guangdong Province.

Part of the reason why Li Dong came this time was to reach a strategic agreement with these two companies.

In addition to these, the other is to examine the retail market in Guangdong Province.

Last year, Yuanfang had a strategic goal. This year, Yuanfang Supermarket will expand to the south.

Guangdong Province and southern Fujian are included, and Guangdong Province also connects Hong Kong and Macao, which is the bridgehead leading to the world.

After taking root in Guangdong Province and completing the national strategy, Yuanfang can use Guangdong Province to rush into Hong Kong and Macau in one fell swoop, thus connecting with the world.

Of course, it's too early to talk about this now.

However, the location of Guangdong Province is indeed very important. Since Li Dong is here, he must have a look.

Hearing that Li Dong was going to meet Chen Kaixuan in Yangcheng, Chen Mingyong didn't persuade him any more.

Moreover, Chen Kaixuan's status in the business community in Guangdong Province is quite high, which is not comparable to him at present. The cooperation between Li Dong and Chen Kaixuan may not necessarily be beneficial to Yuanfang's cooperation with OPPO in the next step.

Seeing that Li Dong was a little tired after eating, Chen Mingyong didn't stay any longer, and before leaving, he said: "Mr. Li, Opal will hold a board meeting tomorrow.

If you can stay in Guangdong Province for a few more days, we should have results when you leave. "

Li Dong said with a smile: "I hope we can cooperate happily."

"That's what I'm looking forward to."

The two smiled and shook hands, and Chen Mingyong left first.

After he left, Shen Qian said: "Are you really determined to support Opal?"

Li Dong chuckled and said, "It's not support, it's just mutual benefit. Opal has BBK technology sharing, and Chen Mingyong himself is also an expert in marketing.

We provide channels from afar, which is equivalent to the cooperation of three companies, and the probability of success is still very high. "

Shen Qian nodded first, and then said: "But after all, it's just a start-up, so it's hard to say whether it can catch up with other companies.

You have an undefeated legend in the business world. If you stumble on Opal's side, although the loss is not big, the loss in reputation will be great. "

Li Dong laughed, his reputation was exhausting.

But I have to admit that it is tiring, but reputation is also necessary.

the nameless one,

No matter how much money you have.

Just like when Li Dong met Zhang Ying, the soft and hard power issues that Li Dong thought of.

Zhang Ying still has money, and a lot of it.

But she is not well-known, even though Zhang Ying is on the Hurun List, she is still ranked second, but how many people in the country know about her?

Only people like Li Dong probably knew something about it.

Her Nine Dragons Paper is even less famous.

Even Chen Kaixuan has more status in Guangdong Province than Zhang Ying, this is the gap, at least Liby is still famous in the whole country.

Li Dong said as he walked: "There is no myth of invincibility, the miracle will be broken sooner or later, it doesn't matter if it really falls on Opal's side.

At least for now, it doesn't affect me too much. "

"That's what you say, but after all, hundreds of millions have been invested, and sometimes I don't understand what you think."

Shen Qian still couldn't understand it, but she wouldn't object too much to what Li Dong insisted on doing.

After thinking about it, Shen Qian continued: "Before we won 20% of Opal's shares, and later you said that we would follow up, I asked someone to take another 6% of the shares, and now these shares are all in my hands.

Let's transfer the shares later..."

Li Dong just opened the car door at this time, and raised his head when he heard the words: "No, these shares were originally spent with your money, so there is no need to transfer them to me.

Just think that I invested for you. The money I got from the Shen Group last time was almost all spent in it, right? "

When Li Dong was negotiating with Shen before, he got over 300 million for Shen Qian.

Although Opal is not strong now, it can be considered a relatively large enterprise.

Shen Qian won 26% of Opal's shares, even if it didn't cost 300 million, it wouldn't be much difference.

Shen Qian said indifferently: "Anyway, I'm not short of money to spend, so it's useless to keep it."

"Well, these shares will remain in your hands first, and Yuanfang will cooperate with the other party this time to try to get 25% of the shares."

Li Dong narrowed his eyes and said: "In this way, we can have absolute control over Opal.

I understand the reasoning between farmers and snakes. Now Opal is counting on us, and we help him get on the horse.

In the future, they will be able to stand on their own, and they may not know what to think.

If the absolute holding is completed, this risk will be offset. "

Shen Qian thought for a moment and said, "It's not easy."

"I don't think it's too difficult."

Li Dong laughed, this is the best time.

A little later, Opal will be able to do it by himself.

In the early days, they had not formally stepped into the mobile phone field, and Oppo was not under so much pressure.

Now that they have officially entered the mobile phone field, the pressure of competition is high, and they urgently need to find a support.

At this time, Yuanfang is willing to provide support, and should be able to obtain the support of most of the shares and directors.

...

While Li Dong and his party were staying in Guancheng, the negotiations on the Shanghai stock market had also reached a transit stage.

Originally, there were three companies left to negotiate, Yuanfang, Tesco, and Intime.

But on the day of the negotiation on the 6th, Chen Lang from afar actually invited a vice minister from the Ministry of Commerce to Shanghai to participate in the negotiation.

As soon as this move came out, although Comrade Deputy Minister did not say a word, the meaning was completely different.

In the afternoon, Intime announced its withdrawal from the negotiation.

When Shen Guojun called Ma Yun, he was full of helplessness and said: "Lao Ma, let's stop making trouble. The attitude of the Ministry of Commerce is very obvious, supporting Yuanfang to win Carrefour.

After all, Tesco is a foreign company, so it is difficult for the Ministry of Commerce to say anything.

But we still have to live in China, and if the relationship over there is disturbed in the distance, we will be ignorant if we add chaos.

And this time the Ministry of Commerce came forward, I doubt whether Tesco can persist.

It seems that this time Carrefour is in the pocket of the distance. "

Ma Yun obviously didn't expect such a change in the middle of the journey, so he thought for a moment before saying: "Forget it, after all, our strength is indeed weaker.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is unlikely that our Snake Tunxiang will succeed.

Since they are determined to win, then this time it will be cheaper for them. "

Shen Guojun laughed and said: "It's not cheap, but I'm actually a little scared after talking these days.

If we really win Carrefour, I doubt that the other side will cling to me.

Now, Intime is no rival from far away.

Being targeted from afar puts me under a lot of pressure. "

Ma Yun said with a smile: "And when you are afraid, old Shen, this is not like you."

Shen Guojun said helplessly: "I'm not afraid of others, Li Dong is too vengeful here, and being targeted by this guy, everyone would be a bit timid.

If you don't believe me, you can ask Huarun, Suguo was beaten to pieces, and they didn't make a sound.

The same is true for Carrefour. Now in the department store industry, this guy is the only one who can't be provoked. If you are in a hurry, he will fight you to the death. Tell me, there are a few people in China who have the confidence to fight him to the death. "

"That's true, the image Li Dong portrayed to the outside world is that if you can't be beaten to death, you will bite a piece of your flesh, so many people were really intimidated by him.

In fact, if you really want to fight him to the death, he may not dare to persevere.

It's a pity that we are all old, and we know that he may not dare, but we dare not gamble. "

Ma Yun was also a little emotional. He didn't believe that Li Dong really dared to give up his nearly 100 billion family fortune and keep fighting with others.

But he just showed this kind of attitude, as if you came to try it, it really scared others.

It's not that no one thought about whether Li Dong would dare to fight with them to the end.

But how many people dare to bet on this matter?

What if Li Dongzhen fights with you to the end?

Even Ma Yun himself didn't dare. He dared to fight eBay to the end and won. Ma Yun is not a timid person.

But the bigger the enterprise, the greater the responsibility, and the greater the constraints.

Up to now, Ma Yun no longer dares and cannot gamble on such an opportunity.

Otherwise, if Taobao and Yuanfang Mall continue to fight, it is hard to say who will win and who will lose, and Taobao will have a greater chance of winning.

If it was someone else, Ma Yun might not be afraid of him.

Forget about Li Dong, this guy doesn't know if he's really crazy or fake, anyway, no matter if it's true or not, there's no need to fight him to the death.

The two sighed a few words, and the topic gradually drifted away.

...

When Yintai announced its withdrawal, the negotiations between Chen Lang and Luo Guowei were still at a stalemate.

Even though the bigwigs from the Ministry of Commerce came to sit in person, ready to facilitate the cooperation between the two parties, politics still follows the rules after all.

Carrefour is unwilling, and the Ministry of Commerce will not force it.

This time has actually been a little bit over, but after all, he is only a deputy, and he didn't say anything, so he can barely pass.

But if you intervene again, it will be some bad rules.

Not to mention Carrefour, the company in the distance will not do it either. If it really needs to rely on too much government power, it will be easy to be criticized.

In the large meeting room.

Chen Lang said in a loud voice: "The current quotation is only 11 billion RMB, not to mention Yuanfang is more than 100 million yuan, no matter from any aspect, Yuanfang is Carrefour's only choice!

With more than 8,000 Huaxia employees, can they really fully accept it?

Even if the person in charge is here, I dare to ask him face to face if he can do this!

You know, if you can't do it, Carrefour will have to pay for it!

This is the first, and second, it is now developing the Korean market.

I heard that when Carrefour withdrew from the Korean market, it transferred 32 of its stores.

Now we are going to take over these stores left over from Carrefour, with a total value of about 2 billion US dollars. Is there still room to continue to develop the Chinese market?

Third, it has been competing with Carrefour for the status of the world's second retailer.

Unlike Yuanfang, Yuanfang's business is limited to China, and has not yet opened up the international market.

Carrefour will be taken over by Yuanfang and will not have any impact on Carrefour.

But once it is taken over, I think it will be hard to say whether Carrefour will retain its No. 2 position in the world in another two years. "

Everyone in Carrefour on the opposite side frowned slightly, obviously they had been stabbed to the point.

In recent years, Tesco has been chasing them tighter and tighter.

Carrefour's business has been declining, and the growth rate is not as large as that of Tesco.

The gap between the two sides is now very small, and Tesco is still expanding its business in Asia.

Now, Carrefour's business in Asia has to retreat in an all-round way.

But this does not mean that there are no profit points in Asia.

If it hadn't been forced to a dead end before, and was choked by the distance, and had to leave the stage, in fact, Carrefour was still more optimistic about the Chinese market.

If Tesco really wants to take over their business, maybe Tesco may surpass Carrefour in the next few years.

Of course, if you think about it, the people of Carrefour will not go far away because of this.

The quotation of 11.2 billion made them very dissatisfied.

The estimated value of Carrefour itself has reached 12.4 billion, which is more than one billion less at once, and it is not a vegetable market, so how can there be such a big concession.

If Yuanfang can drive to a price of 12 billion, they are not willing to negotiate with Tesco, but now 11.2 billion, Carrefour is not willing to accept.

Luo Guowei didn't speak, but a representative sent by Carrefour's headquarters chattered a few words.

The translator quickly said: "Mr. Chen, no matter what you say, the value of Carrefour's China business is here. The price of 11.2 billion yuan, Carrefour's headquarters will not agree.

Moreover, you said that you will surpass Carrefour to become the second in the world, we do not agree with this..."

Chen Lang smiled and didn't pay much attention to what they said.

The price difference of hundreds of millions cannot be resolved with a few words.

But now, the advantages are all in the distance.

Tesco has entered the Asian market in an all-round way, and Carrefour is actually still feeling guilty.

It is not in line with their strategic goals to keep the position of the second child and hand over the Huaxia business to Tesco.
