Chapter 1356: Offensive and defensive alliance

The banquet lasted a long time.
Until nearly 11 o'clock, the talents gradually dispersed.
Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe said goodbye to everyone, and hadn't got on the bus yet. Tan Yong didn't know where to get out of it. He rushed to Li Dong and whispered: "Mr. Li, tell you something."
Li Dong nodded and said quietly, "Don't hurry first, then talk at home."
"it is good."
Tan Yong didn't speak anymore and turned into the car.
On the side, Shen Qian didn't ask them what they said, and led the two children into the car together.
Waiting for the bus to the Provincial Party Committee, Shen Qian said, holding the sleeping little stone: "I took the children back, you come back early."
"Well, you go to bed early, don't have to wait for me."
Li Dong responded and watched them enter the courtyard.
When Shen Qian left, Tan Yong immediately said: "There was news from the people over the old Zhou, Liu Xinyi was born in the hospital today, probably due to mood factors and running around, premature birth.
"Don't you let the people back?"
"I was just about to withdraw, but at least I had to know where they were going to withdraw, so I delayed it a little bit."
Tan Yong said immediately: "This is not the key, President Li. What's interesting is that Lao Zhou is gone!"
"It's gone?" Li Dong suspiciously said, "What do you mean?"
Tan Yong immediately said: "Liu Xinyi had just given birth there, and Lao Zhou returned to the hotel.
It didn't take long for Lao Zhou to come out, and his followers thought he was going to the hospital.
Unexpectedly, he turned left and right, and after three or two, he left our people behind.
You also know that he is also an expert, and it is too easy to get rid of the eyeliner, plus his wife and children are present, and at first everyone did not care too much.
But as a result, the hospital looked at it. No one was there. He didn't go back to the hotel.
People just suddenly disappeared! "
"Disappeared?" Li Dong touched his chin and pondered for a moment: "He has left the distance, what disappeared?
Did you scare him here? "
Tan Yong said helplessly: "How come, you said you wouldn't trouble him, I just let people watch where he went, lest he refuse to leave.
He suddenly disappeared and disappeared, which was also beyond my expectations. "
Li Dong thought for a while, and finally waved his hand: "If it disappears, it will disappear, don't worry about him.
I can't guess what this guy thinks.
But it is said that Qiaogui Qiaolu is back, where is his freedom. "
Tan Yong whispered: "You said, did he connect with the people behind?
I thought he didn't know it before, but now he suddenly disappeared, but I was a bit skeptical, maybe he wasn't clear.
Otherwise, we will increase the manpower and continue to track down? "
"Why did you do that? Are you too busy?
There are so many things here at the security company, you are better than anything at all.
Also, Lao Zheng left, let the red soldiers take over.
Tomorrow, I will meet the brothers of the internal guard group. "
Tan Yong listened to him and nodded, "I'll arrange it immediately, President Li, what happened to Lao Zhou?"
Li Dong glared at him, not very angry: "Why are you staring at him? I'm too lazy to care about this guy's business now. If you don't worry about your brother, you can ask someone to check it out and follow me if you don't need anything. report."
"No, I don't think of him as a brother anymore. I worry about what he does.
I was still mainly worried about the sister-in-law and Guoguo. He suddenly ran away, and the two women were in trouble.
Forget it, I'll do it myself, so I won't disturb you. "
Li Dong thought for a while and said softly: "If you can take care of it, take care of it. Let me take my private account.
Leaving his wife and children running away, the also did it. "
Shaking his head, Li Dong said nothing and opened the door to get off.
...
In January 2009, in Li Dong's memory, nothing happened, except for the Spring Festival.
However, on the last day of January, everyone seemed to have a good discussion, and several companies announced some news.
January 31, the sixth day of the first month.
When the Chinese were still immersed in the Spring Festival holiday, in the morning, Suning made a public announcement to acquire 27.36% of the island country laox Co., Ltd. and became its largest shareholder.
Laox is not well-known in the country, and almost no one knows.
Ordinary people do not care much about this news.
However, for Li Dong, who has just acquired Gome, this news is worth paying attention to.
Laox is a well-known home appliance retailer in the island country. Although it has only six stores, it is the fourth home appliance chain company in the island country.
And its establishment date can be traced back to 80 years ago.
Suning became its largest shareholder, which also means that Suning has officially opened the pace of overseas expansion.
In the island country, Li Dong hasn't set foot for the time being. Although this news came a little fast, Li Dong can still take it seriously.
However, Suning seemed to be afraid that Li Dong was not surprised enough and threw out several pieces of news one after another.
In addition to the acquisition of laox, Suning paid a consideration of HK $ 35 million to acquire the Xiangjiang laser brand, network and business.
In addition, it spent 180 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire assets and equity of its related businesses, including inventory, fixed assets, intellectual property, etc.
Entering an island country has little to do with Li Dong, and entering the Xiangjiang is related.
Gome has stores in Xiangjiang. Although the business is average, Gome has more market shares than Suning in Xiangjiang.
Although Suning is a subsidiary in Xiangjiang, its business has not been able to expand. The local brands of Xiangjiang do not say that Gome still overwhelms Suning for home appliance brands entering the mainland.
Now, after Suning acquired the laser, it surpassed Gome's market share in Xiangjiang in one fell swoop.
These are counted as foreign markets, and in the mainland market, Suning has also made a lot of moves.
The announcement stated that Suning will add more than 300 stores throughout the year of 2009, mainly expanding the rural and county markets.
In addition, Suning continued to expand the scale of self-operated logistics, increased investment in Suning Tesco, launched the self-operated payment system Yifubao, and abandoned the Wankao payment business that had been used before.
Previously because of cooperation with distant places, Suning Tesco, which is the former Suning Mall, has always adopted Wanhuatong as the main payment.
Today, Suning has chosen to launch its own payment system, which directly cut off Wanhuatong payment. It has to be said that this choice officially announced that the cooperation between the two has come to an end.
Expand the scale of self-operated logistics, increase investment in online, and launch your own payment system.
All this declares that Suning is ready to go to war at any time!
After the far-reaching acquisition of Gome, Suning finally couldn't bear it and felt a deep crisis.
Still on this day, Suning announced there was a brief personnel change.
The former chairman of Dazhong Electric Appliance, Mr. Zhang Dazhong, was formally appointed as the president of Suning Appliance. The founders of Dazhong and Suning jointly took charge of Suning.
Their opponent is currently only one.
Gome was merged from afar!
The threat of Li Dong made Zhang Jindong feel a deep crisis. After the merger and acquisition of Dazhong, Suning has been weakening Zhang Dazhong's influence on Dazhong Electric.
However, this is before.
If there are no external threats, Zhang Jindong can take his time, and he can slowly absorb and digest Dazhong appliances.
But now the time is not waiting for people. Although Li Dong is not moving at the moment, but once Gome is digested by a distant place, it will be a big threat.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no major moves in the distance, Zhang Jindong chose to compromise and chose to unite Zhang Dazhong with the strategy of incorporating Dazhong Electric Appliances under his command as quickly as possible.
These are just Suning's actions.
On the same day, Wumart in Beijing announced the acquisition of all stores in Lotus Chumen in Yichu. Its hypermarket in Jinmen increased from 12 to 17, which surpassed China Resources and was second only to the distant place.
At the same time, Wumei acquired all the equity of the remaining shareholders of Meilianmei at the cost of 800 million yuan, completely incorporated Meilianmei and became a wholly-owned subsidiary.
On the same day, China Resources announced that it will acquire 11 stores in Aijia Supermarket, 4 stores in Century Lianhua in the northeast region, and 100 stores in Shenzhen Minrun.
As a retail giant, Bailian is not willing to show any weakness, and officially announced the transformation and replacement of several new stores in Yonghui, agricultural and industrial and commercial systems.
In addition, Bailian contracted the national front and replaced some stores with China Resources.
The sale of Century Lianhua in the Northeast is just the beginning.
For some stores in the northern market, Bailian has also begun to sell, or it is more appropriate to replace them, in exchange for some stores of China Resources in the southern market.
The retail industry, which had been quiet for a few days, suddenly broke out within a day.
The replacement of the replacement, the expansion of the expansion, the consolidation of the consolidation site.
The e-commerce market has also undergone some changes at this time.
Bailian has formally reached an agreement with Alibaba.com, Baidu.com went to the mall, settled in Tmall, and strived to open up the online and offline systems to complete O2O strategic expansion.
Wal-Mart, which has already reached cooperation with JD.com, announced that it will raise US $ 10 million in JD.com's No. 1 store in an effort to open the online market.
...
During the day, other retail companies that had been silent for a while started to move.
Obviously, this will not happen overnight.
When Li Dong merged with Gome, these people were not idle, but kept moving.
The reason why the unification broke out at this time is not so much a coincidence, but rather a shock to Li Dong.
If you want to be the uncrowned king of the domestic retail industry, you have to ask their opinions.
It is absolutely impossible to be the king, the first, and the dictatorial retail king.
Several large retail groups, including the e-commerce sector, also announced the news, which also has potential implications.
Obviously, everyone reached a tacit agreement.
In other words, these people may have reached a deeper level of cooperation, and offensive and defensive alliances are not unfounded guesses.
...
Yuanfang Building.
meeting room.
Yuan Chengdao whispered: "A troubled autumn, expanding the distance of five years, I am afraid that it will arouse everyone's fear."
Sun Tao said in a deep voice: "China Resources, Bailian, Suning, Ali, Jingdong, Wumei ...
These companies choose to make announcements on the same day. If it is coincidence, that is impossible.
So there must be a tacit understanding, it should be aimed at our retail alliance plan.
We sent out some invitation letters before, inviting the heads of major retail enterprises to participate in our annual meeting.
I am afraid that this is the move that made them feel the crisis, so they chose to launch it at this time. "
Chen Lang nodded and said: "This is indeed the case, although we are only inviting everyone to participate in the annual meeting, but there is also a suspicion of forcing the palace.
At this time, in order to protect themselves and to get rid of our control, there must be many companies that are not willing to compromise.
It is not uncommon for several companies to make statements at this time to strengthen their confidence and even start to attract these second- and third-tier retail companies.
Now, I am afraid that we should not engage in big moves.
At the beginning of the Gome, Carrefour resources were not integrated. At this time, the persecution was too much, and it was easy to cause a dangerous situation that was surrounded by enemies.
So I suggest to suspend the pace of expansion in the South and choose to shrink the front and consolidate the inherent market. "
Yuan Chengdao also nodded and said: "Mr. Li, I also recommend doing this. On the one hand, there are too many enemies, on the one hand, it is also a problem of funds.
Last year, our funds were exhausted.
Although the late loan of 15 billion, almost all of it is used in Gome.
From now on, we can only say that we can barely maintain the current scale for operation.
In addition, we still have a lot of debts to repay this year, including the balance of the previous mergers and acquisitions of Carrefour and Yongan. Most of them need to be paid off this year.
In addition, our remote city also needs a large amount of investment, plus the remaining part of the land will also expire.
Finally, on the Gome side, do n’t forget Mr. Huang ’s side. In addition to the previous 8 billion yuan, there are still 5 billion yuan to be paid each year for the next two years.
A few days ago, Director Liu and I made a budget. Even if there is no expansion this year, we will operate step by step.
These arrears plus tail payments, as well as the company's basic expenses, are as high as 30 billion! "
Li Dong frowned: "So much?"
Yuan Chengdao nodded and said, "That's all. We were highly overdrawn in the past few years, and now, it's time to pay for it.
30 billion of funds will expire this year.
In terms of our profitability, the retail group has the largest number. Together with Gome and online, it is expected to reach about 20 billion this year.
There are also industries such as logistics and PP, where the profitability will not be too great, and at most it will maintain its own operations, or even not enough.
In real estate, unless part of the land is sold, 30 billion yuan is a problem.
However, due to the 30 billion yuan due, our debt will go down, and we can make loans again.
All in all, without expansion, we can achieve a break-even this year.
Once we continue to expand, that funding will become our biggest pressure. "
Li Dong frowned and said: "Is it such an exaggeration? With the annual profit of tens of billions of dollars, the debt ratio is not too high. I don't think there is a big problem with the funds. If it doesn't work, borrow it again!
However, the personnel is a difficult problem, and we have internal problems. In the end, can we still fight hard battles.
Now the internal situation in the distance is a little complicated. I am afraid that the cohesion is much weaker than before. The overall strength has not shown an explosive growth.
Once confronted with several companies, I am a little worried that once our time is prolonged, we will be dragged to death. "
Yuan Chengdao everyone nodded, this is a fact.
In the past five years, Yuanyuan has been expanding and acquiring other enterprises.
The scale is larger, but internal problems are becoming more and more serious, and the contradictions are becoming more and more serious.
Fortunately in normal times, even if Li Dong started the war, it would be quick and quick, without giving the opponent any delay.
But once it is prolonged, it will be in trouble.
Some people on the Internet said that Li Dong was invincible in blitzkrieg, and that he could not fight a protracted war, nor was it a lie.
As long as it can be dragged to the far side of the three axes, breaking Li Dong's invincible momentum ~ EbookFREE.me ~ With the background of the distance, the entire remote group will be tired and become a trapped beast.
This is not a joke, the same is true.
The employees from afar can have the momentum and cohesiveness of now, all relying on Li Dong to condense.
The strength of Li Dong lies in the surprise attack, lightning strikes, and does not give the opponent the power to fight back.
If this move doesn't work and the protracted battle will continue, not only will the employees be exhausted, but Li Dong will also be exhausted. This is dangerous.
In many cases, the success of an enterprise depends not only on capital, but also on people's hearts.
The hearts of the people are gone, the spirit is gone, you have a lot of money, it is also cheaper for others, not to mention that there is not much current working capital in the distance, but a lot of arrears due.
Li Dong's voice fell and the meeting room became quiet.
In the current situation, everyone feels that it is no longer suitable for expansion, but what Li Dong thinks is still unknown, and everyone can only wait for him to make a decision.
