Chapter 971 No Comparison, No Harm

With the different levels of contact, Li Dong is now more tolerant.

Of course, this is in Li Dong's own opinion.

At least he felt that he was tolerant and magnanimous.

Otherwise, with Chen Xia's provocative tone just now, he wouldn't give the other party a good face in the future.

But now, Li Dong only treats the other party as a child.

It's normal for children to be jealous of other people's children. Who makes parents always praise other people's children.

Li Dong didn't treat himself as a child, so there was no need to argue with her about such a trivial matter.

Li Dong would not show these psychological fluctuations, nor would Chen Kaixuan.

Everyone came here for the benefit, originally to make friends with each other, there is no need to make enemies in this kind of thing.

After chatting for a while, Li Dong asked, "Brother Chen, which other students are here this time?"

Chen Kaixuan is the landlord, and he has been entrusted to receive the students this time.

Hearing Li Dong's question, Chen Kaixuan immediately smiled and said, "There are quite a few students here, besides our current class, there are also a few from the previous class.

Here in Guangdong Province, there are quite a few people in our classmate association.

Dongsheng called before and said he would come over.

If nothing unexpected happened, Hua Teng should come too.

Xinli, our squad leader, and Shao Peng also agreed to come.

These are probably the only ones, but I don’t know if other people will sneak up, hahaha..."

Chen Kaixuan joked, and Li Dong also laughed and said, "Don't tell me, it's just us classmates, maybe someone is going to lurk with us."

After speaking, Li Dong said again: "Boss Ma is also here this time?"

What he was talking about was not Ma Yun, but Brother Ma.

Brother Xiao Ma is also a member of the classmate association, but he hadn't seen Li Dong a few times before, and everyone was busy and didn't have a chance to get together.

But this time is different, Shenzhen City and Yangcheng are adjacent.

Brother Xiao Ma is considered a half-landlord, so it would be unreasonable to miss the party if there is no important matter.

Before coming, Li Dong had considered that Brother Ma would be there.

Even Li Dong has already figured it out. When Xiao Ma arrives, let him take him to visit their R&D center in Yangcheng.

At that time, Zhang Xiaolong will definitely come forward to receive them.

It's not the first time Li Dong has done this kind of poaching in front of the boss. Anyway, Tencent has a lot of talents, so he doesn't care about poaching a few pony brothers.

Worrying about the lack of opportunities and excuses, it was just right for Xiao Ma to come to the party.

Except for Brother Xiao Ma, Li Dong knew everyone and had met.

In his current class, Wu Yajun and Yang Shaopeng will be there.

The previous ones were Zhu Xinli from Huiyuan and Li Dongsheng from TCL. Zhu Xinli has a good relationship with Li Dong because of his cooperation, so it is not surprising to come to the party.

In the case of Li Dongsheng, the other party is also from Guangdong Province, so he still has to attend the party.

But Wu Yajun and the others are close to Li Dong and get together.

All in all, the people at this gathering were either landlords or people related to Li Dong.

Li Dong was quite satisfied with such a party.

Moreover, these people have the same status as Li Dong, but no one can overwhelm Li Dong, not even Xiao Ma.

This is better, otherwise, at other gatherings, Lenovo's Lao Liu and Wantong's Feng Lun, these people are veterans, veterans in the business world, in front of them, Li Dong has always been overwhelmed.

No one wants to be suppressed by others when doing business to the extent that Li Dong and the others do.

Even if the relationship between everyone is okay, that's not okay.

Hearing Li Dong ask about Ma Huateng, Chen Kaixuan said with a smile: "Hua Teng said that he will come, so there shouldn't be any big surprises.

I said Dongzi, I heard that Yuanfang and Tencent are very competitive now.

The last time Tencent represented a crossfire game, and you bought the parent company of the other party in turn, this matter was widely rumored.

Dongzi, brother Yi Lao sells the old to say something, don't be offended.

Everyone is a businessman, competition is nothing, but this kind of unnecessary thing, I think, there is no need to waste money on it.

"

In Chen Kaixuan's view, Li Dong's acquisition of SmileGate was entirely aimed at targeting Tencent.

Someone else's company has developed such a game, and you even acquired the other party, so whoever you say is not aimed at it will believe it.

For this matter, even Xiao Ma himself got angry once.

It's really disgusting, which makes Tencent wonder whether it should vigorously promote Cross Fire.

When Chen Kaixuan said this, Li Dong was a little wronged and said: "Brother Chen, I didn't mean to target him. I am really optimistic about Tencent's promotion of CF, and I also think that the national server will definitely make a lot of money.

For a profitable business, it is better to earn it for me than for the Koreans. "

Chen Kaixuan was a little surprised and said, "Are you serious?"

"of course."

Chen Kaixuan smiled when he heard it: "Then I was worrying for nothing just now, since I can make money, there is nothing to say.

In business, of course, you can drill wherever you can make money. "

After finishing speaking, Chen Kaixuan said again: "By the way, there is one more thing to tell you. Two days ago, Renrenle asked us to discuss cooperation..."

Chen Kaixuan looked at Li Dong, Li Dong smiled and said: "It's normal, our family from afar can't eat all Liby's products.

Everyone is willing to cooperate, how can I stop it?

Moreover……"

Li Dong paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Everyone is not on the list of strategic targets in the distance. Liby's business is booming here. I'm happy for Big Brother Chen."

Chen Kaixuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. Of course, the degree of pretending was a little bigger.

It is impossible for Liby to cooperate only with Yuanfang's family, that's for sure.

In particular, both Renrenle and Liby are enterprises in Guangdong Province, and the cooperation between the two parties is easier and simpler.

Chen Kaixuan actually knew that Li Dong would give this answer, but he had to act, otherwise Li Dong would definitely feel a little dissatisfied.

Now it seems that Li Dong really doesn't care much about it.

Renrenle has actually done a good job in Guangdong Province, and the scale is not small.

Originally, Chen Kaixuan thought that Li Dong would be a little jealous, but Li Dong simply said that there was no other party in the strategic list, so he skipped the matter.

This sentence also made Chen Kaixuan understand more clearly the strength of Li Dong in the department store industry.

After all, Renrenle is also a large department store enterprise in the top 500 of China and the top 30 chains.

In Guangdong Province, Wal-Mart and Xinyijia compete for the first place, and Renrenle is firmly in the third place. Its status is quite high, even not much worse than Liby.

But in Li Dong's eyes, the other party was not worth mentioning.

Now even Chen Kaixuan was a little sad. In Li Dong's eyes, even Li Bai was no more than that in such a comparison.

Chen Xia at the side also felt Li Dong's strength.

In addition, from the mouths of Second Uncle and Li Dong, they kept popping up big bosses that she looked up to, which made Chen Xia realize the gap between the two sides even more.

At this time, Chen Xia had no desire to win.

Taking advantage of the gap between their conversations, Chen Xia hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, is it true that Yuanfang is going to acquire Carrefour Huaxia Store this time?"

Li Dong smiled and said: "It should be almost the same, the merger is still under negotiation, but only us and Tesco are left.

Tesco has little hope of winning domestically and far away.

If there is no accident, this time the Carrefour store should be included in the name of Yuanfang. "

Although Chen Xia had heard about it a long time ago, she couldn't help being surprised when she heard Li Dong's confident answer: "So, Yuanfang Supermarket is likely to become the number one department store this year?"

Li Dong smiled, and half-jokingly and half-seriously said: "It depends on the situation, Bailian and China Resources are still quite strong. But having said that, if you really want to make an impact, it would be more interesting to be the No. 1 retailer."

Chen Xia was a little dumbfounded, and Chen Kaixuan couldn't help laughing.

Seeing this, Li Dong smiled and said: "In fact, they are all similar. Last year, Gome ranked first in retail sales, with an annual revenue of just over 100 billion, followed by Bailian, with less than 90 billion.

It is not so easy for Gome to keep the number one position this year, as the home appliance market has been shared a lot by Suning.

Dazhong was acquired by Suning. It is hard to say whether Gome can keep the first place in the home appliance market.

The two of them share a part of the revenue. If we surpass Bailian, the gap with them is not that big, and it is still possible to overtake them. "

After saying this, both Chen Kaixuan and Chen Kaixuan couldn't help but nod their heads.

They didn't think too much before, but now that they heard this, even Chen Kaixuan couldn't help but said, "Dongzi, when you held the annual meeting at the beginning of this year, you said you would be the number one department store.

At that time, the media made a lot of reports, and even we people were sweating for you.

Now it seems that if Carrefour can really win, Yuanfang Supermarket may exceed expectations.

At that time, if it wins the first place in retail sales, I think everyone will be shocked. "

"It shouldn't be." Li Dong smiled and said: "Besides, even if you really take the first place, it doesn't really mean much.

It's just a name, and a few people care about it.

When Yuanfang won the first place in the country, it would be of some real benefit to us. "

Chen Kaixuan was speechless, shook his head and said, "We don't understand the world of your young people, it seems that I am really old."

"Brother Chen is getting old now? This is not like you."

"No way, I was hit by you."

"Hahaha……"

Both of them laughed, then chatted for a few more words, and confirmed the strategic cooperation plan between Yuanfang and Liby.

In fact, this matter has been discussed a long time ago, and this signing is just an incidental matter.

Li Dong and Chen Kaixuan didn't have much opinion. After a few discussions, the two parties initially signed the agreement.

As for the formal agreement, we have to wait for the lawyer to read it.

No opinion, it doesn't mean that this kind of thing can be ambiguous, or else I've been cheated and I don't know how to cheat.

After finishing this matter, it's time for dinner.

Shen Qian was not with Li Dong during lunch.

Li Dong didn't force it, and had lunch with Chen's uncle and niece.

Today is only Li Dong's first day in Yangcheng, the official signing ceremony will be held tomorrow, and the class reunion will also be held tomorrow night.

After lunch, Chen Xia, who hadn't figured out how to speak, couldn't help but seize the last chance and said, "Mr. Li, have you heard of Gaozi Cosmetics?"

Li Dong thought for a while and said, "I heard it a little bit."

"In 2006, Liby acquired Gaozi, which has a history of 25 years and is also a time-honored brand in the field of cosmetics.

But in the past two years, Gao Zi has not improved, and this year I will be the general manager of Gao Zi..."

Chen Xia briefly introduced Gao Zi, and then talked about Gao Zi's situation.

After she finished speaking, Li Dong finally understood what she meant.

Chen Xia wants to cooperate with Yuanfang, and open high-profile cosmetics counters in Yuanfang's major stores, or it is more appropriate for Yuanfang to focus on high-profile cosmetics.

Before this, Chen Xia hadn't thought about it.

Gao Zi is in the Shanghai stock market, Yuanfang is not strong in the Shanghai stock market, and Chen Xia doesn't care too much about Yuanfang.

But meeting Li Dong today, coupled with Li Dong's determination to acquire Carrefour, made Chen Xia deeply feel the strength of Yuanfang Supermarket.

If Yuanfang can really acquire Carrefour, its strength in the Shanghai stock market will grow to the top three in one fell swoop.

A department store company that ranks among the top three in the Shanghai stock market is the best partner for cosmetic companies like them.

If you can make Yuanfang stand tall, it will be even more hopeful for a comeback.

Unfortunately, this is all Chen Xia's own thoughts.

After listening to Li Dong, he thought for a moment before saying: "I don't care too much about the far side right now, I'm afraid I have to discuss the details with Ms. Chen herself, but I will raise this matter with the supermarket."

Li Dong didn't promise anything, in fact, he refused in disguise.

Chen Xia's thinking was too simple, she focused on being tall, just kidding.

Gao Zi is not well-known in the field of cosmetics, and Yuanfang may soon become the number one retailer in China.

It is still possible to set up a special counter or settle in. It is definitely impossible to focus on a cosmetic that is not too famous.

Li Dong and Li Bai are just cooperating, but not really intimate, how could they lose their own interests and satisfy their wishes.

Chen Kaixuan on the side was not surprised, he would do the same if he were himself.

When his niece brought it up just now, he knew it was useless.

But it's good to let the niece suffer a setback, and save this girl from being whimsical all day long.

Entrepreneurs who have never experienced failure will not easily succeed.

To achieve success simply and simply, in these years, few people except Li Dong can do it.

Even Li Dong has put in countless efforts for it.

Many times, Li Dong was gambling and walking a tightrope.

It is obviously impossible for Chen Xia to get Li Dong's help so easily, and Li Dong is not her parents.

Li Dong's vague words made Chen Xia understand what he meant.

Wei Wei was a little disappointed, and Chen Xia didn't say any more.

Soon, the uncle and niece drove away.

Li Dong didn't stay long, he watched the car leave and went back to the hotel himself.

...

in the car.

Chen Xia fell into silence.

After a long time, Chen Xia suddenly said, "Second Uncle, did I look naive just now?"

Chen Kaixuan said softly: "Have you been hit?"

Chen Xia shook her head, sighed and said, "It's not a blow, but I just find it a bit ridiculous. In the past, when I was with friends, people often said that Li Dong was just lucky, and they could do whatever.

When I heard this, I kind of agreed.

But thinking about it today, it is indeed a bit ridiculous.

While we are still trying to get rid of the title of second generation, others have already reached the forefront of the country, talking about the first and second...

Think about yourself, even a cosmetics company can't manage well.

It stands to reason that our starting point is much higher than his, and we should succeed faster. Now it seems that we have taken it for granted. "

Chen Kaixuan smiled and comforted: "Don't compare with him, he is a monster, just be yourself."

When he said this, Chen Kaixuan not only comforted Chen Xia, but also comforted himself.

Yes, it can't be compared with Li Dong.

Compared with him, 99% of people will be desperate.

He, Chen Kaixuan, is also a successful person in the business world. After decades of hard work, he has built such a large family business.

But compared with Li Dongyi, it would really be desperate.

The revenue of Yuanfang Supermarket may exceed 100 billion this year, which can be heard from Li Dong's words.

Just a supermarket can overwhelm them.

Don't forget, Yuanfang also has logistics, Yuanfang Technology, and Dongyu Real Estate.

Of these three major industries, any one of them may be able to overwhelm them.

It's meaningless to compare it with Li Dong.

Chen Kaixuan was also afraid that his niece would be under too much pressure, and he always knew that her niece was high-spirited.

Usually Chen Kaixuan is so happy. In the mall, it is good to have self-confidence.

However, if he takes Li Dong as a target, he is afraid that his niece will be overwhelmed.

Chen Xia heard that the second uncle she admired said so, she nodded slightly, but after thinking about it, she said: "Second uncle, how do you think Huiyan compares with him?"

Chen Kaixuan laughed and said, "Same, there is no need to compare."

This time Chen Xia really understood, it turned out that in the eyes of the second uncle, there was not much difference between Huiyan and herself.
