That night, Chen Lang rushed to Li Dong's courtyard.
In addition to Chen Lang, Sun Tao, who had just returned to Jiangbei, also arrived.
This time Sun Tao went to Beijing for nearly a week, mainly to participate in the National Chain Conference.
Li Dong was originally going to go in person, but because of Su Guo's business, Li Dong didn't worry about leaving for too long, so he let Sun Tao pass by alone.
Sun Tao and Chen Lang also knew each other and they greeted each other as soon as they met.
Li Dong didn't care about them either, greeted the two of them to sit down, and asked the babysitter to take the two children upstairs to bed.
When there were only a few of them left in the living room, Li Dong said: "Brother Sun will briefly talk about the chain conference. Are there any interesting things worth talking about?"
Sun Tao said with a smile: "It's still the same old talk, but this year it has made a splash in the distance and won the Outstanding Achievement Award."
"Talk is better than nothing."
Li Dong didn't take it seriously, it was just a name, and it was useless except for the icing on the cake.
"The other is that there have been many foreign retail giants this year, Wal-Mart, Carrefour, Tesco, Metro, IKEA ...
The heads of these companies in China have all come. It seems that foreign capital is paying more and more attention to the country. The shopping in first-tier cities is almost over. Now everyone is talking about market competition in second- and third-tier cities.
I think that the front will soon spread to the fourth and fifth tier cities, Jiangbei side, I am afraid that the next will not be too peaceful. "
Chen Lang next to his head nodded, "This is indeed the case. This trend is becoming more and more obvious. Since the country opened up restrictions on foreign investment, these retail companies have turned their attention to China. As the world's largest population-owned country, the market potential is , Everyone wants to share a cup. "
Li Dong lightly laughed: "Regardless of them, Jiangbei if they want to come, then come in and try. I can't clean them up elsewhere. I was not afraid of Jiangbei a few years ago. Are they still afraid of them?"
Both Sun Tao and Chen Lang nodded in agreement that the regional management in the distance might not be stable.
But that is relatively speaking. In Jiangbei, since the acquisition of Kelong Supermarket, it is far ahead of any retail enterprise.
At this time, other foreign-funded enterprises wanted to enter Jiangbei, and they were entangled with each other in the distance.
Without continuing this topic, Sun Tao glanced at Chen Lang and continued a little bit of thought for a while: "The other is China Resources, Hong Ji led the team to the meeting."
"Hong Ji ..."
Li Dong murmured, feeling faintly impressed.
Chen Lang said quietly: "It is the COO of China Resources Vanguard. Before serving as CFO for many years, he still has rich experience."
Li Dong asked: "Your deputy?"
"Ok."
Upon hearing this, Li Dong laughed: "So, Hong Ji will soon take over as CEO?"
Chen Lang thought for a moment and said: "The possibility is very high. With the current situation, it should not be possible to airborne the CEO of China Resources Vanguard from the headquarters. On the other hand, Su Guo needs a senior executive who understands the business to suppress the other party, otherwise I'm afraid it's another big trouble. "
"Hong Ji ... Hong Ji ..."
At this time, Li Dong seemed to know who the other party was. Although he wasn't sure if he was this person, he was inseparable.
After all, CR Vanguard executives are these, not many are qualified to take over Chen Lang.
If he guessed right, this one was the one who later acquired Tesco.
As Chen Lang's deputy, Hong Ji didn't learn anything else, but the acquisition of this set was a slip.
Unfortunately, this guy is still a bit worse than Chen Lang.
During his tenure, Chen Lang acquired Su Guo, Yue Men Tan, Ci Ke Long, Jia Shi Shi ...
The mergers and acquisitions of these enterprises have accelerated the development of China Resources Vanguard and brought great benefits to China Resources.
Hongji spent tens of billions of dollars to acquire Tesco, but in the end was dragged into the quagmire. In the past few years, he failed to completely merge Tesco into the China Resources system, and even caused China Resources Vanguard to lose money. Finally, Bailian was again depressed .
And Hongji's ending is also a tragedy of course, and she is sadly out of class.
Li Dong is in favor of mergers and acquisitions of foreign-funded enterprises.
But the key also depends on the situation, time, and development.
China Resources spent tens of billions of dollars. After the acquisition of Tesco, instead of showing performance growth, there was a downward trend. This kind of generous mergers and acquisitions seemed a bit silly.
Of course, this is not the responsibility of Hong Ji alone, involving changes of more than 10 billion yuan, nor is he personally able to decide.
However, as the helm of China Resources Vanguard, his opinions are very important.
Thinking of Hong Ji taking over, Li Dong smiled and said, "It's good. I heard that this guy has been working with you for a long time. Do you know him well?"
Chen Lang did not deny it and nodded: "I have worked with Hong Ji for many years, and I probably can guess what he will do next."
"That's good, knowing yourself and fighting each other. Once Hong Ji takes over as CEO of Wanjia, then we will have the first chance.
And his qualifications are shallower than yours. It is hard to say whether he can suppress Ma Jialiang, and then there will be disagreements between the two sides.
If Su Guo can be defeated this time, do you think Hong Ji will take advantage of the question to take Ma Jialiang down from office?
After all, Ma Jialiang is not too young, and staying in Su Guo is too long. "
Chen Lang thought for a moment and said, "This possibility is still possible. Actually ... In fact, inside China Resources, Ma Jialiang is more terrible than foreign enemies."
A subordinate who is not under the jurisdiction of the law is hated by all his superiors.
Especially in state-owned enterprises like China Resources, that is unforgivable.
Even Chen Lang himself failed to circumvent this, and in the years of CR Vanguard, the struggle with Ma Jialiang delayed him a lot of time.
If it were not for Ma Jialiang's containment, China Resources may have developed better than it is now.
However, Ma Jialiang's prestige in Suguo is too high, and the performance in recent years is also eye-catching. Without full control, China Resources can't easily move him.
Li Dong Wenyan smiled and said: "If Ma Jialiang is gone, it will be fun. The next competition in East China will be who I am!"
Now in East China, Ma Jialiang can bring pressure to Li Dong.
There used to be a China Resources Vanguard, but Chen Lang was dug by himself, and Hong Ji took over, and the pressure was suddenly reduced by five points.
Sometimes the head of the company has a very large proportion of components, and if you encounter serious ones, you can turn the dangers into dangers and get rid of the fire. That is a breeze.
But if you encounter a weaker ability, miss the opportunity and delay the business, no matter how big the enterprise is, it is not a problem.
After all, Li Dong didn't forget, so he coughed and said rightly: "Let's talk, these are all back to the original point. How to beat Su Guo, if he can beat Su Guo this time, everything is easy to say.
But if we lose in Sunan side, no matter who takes over from China Resources, we will have a lot of trouble afterwards. "
Everyone understands this point, and Sun Tao also said: "Now the group's cash flow is empty. If there is a loss on the Sunan side, there may be a chain reaction. At that time, we will not be in trouble. Mr. Chen has any good policies. Although bluntly, now we can We all expect Mr. Chen to turn the tide. "
Chen Lang smiled bitterly: "Zhong Sun overestimated me, but ..."
As soon as he said "but", both Li Dong sat upright.
This time Chen Lang wants to talk privately with Li Dong, obviously he has an idea in mind.
If not, he would not dare to show his head at this time.
And when I first arrived, I always wanted to send a letter of acceptance.
Yuanfang Group attaches so much importance to him, and even spent an additional 30 million yuan. If he can't show his ability at all, he will be regarded as low.
Seeing that both of them were listening, Chen Lang continued: "But I have a little idea. Sunan is not a place in Jinling. Su Guo has been operating in Jinling for many years, and it is indeed solid and strong.
Want to defeat Su Guo in Jinling, I think it is unlikely.
The best ending is to maintain the current situation, and to remain undefeated is our success. "
Li Dong thought thoughtfully: "So what do you mean?"
"My idea is that this time it is not just the battle between Jinling and one place, but the whole of southern Jiangsu. Su Guo's crazy investment in Jinling, there will inevitably be weaknesses elsewhere.
On the other side of Sunan, in addition to the core economic belt of Jinling, there is also the Pingjiang Economic Belt.
In addition, Jinling is also close to Pingchuan. We can actually exert influence in Jiangbei to surround Jinling from all sides.
There is a stalemate in Jinling, and there is no harm. As long as we defeat their competitiveness around Jinling, we will not need to shoot again at that time, and there will be chaos inside China Resources.
Ma Jialiang himself can support it, but serious losses in other directions will certainly be accountable.
At that time, Jinling will not break through itself, and this battle will naturally be our victory. "
"The countryside surrounds the city?"
Li Dong whispered subconsciously, Chen Lang nodded and said, "You can say that."
"However, in the economic area near Jinling, our strength is not stronger than that of Su Guo. Except that Tongzhou is the birthplace of the times, other places are even weaker."
Chen Lang's eyes brightened and said: "Don't forget the chairman, Sunan is not the only time and Su Guo.
When foreign capital was suppressed last year, major foreign capitals retreated one after another, so foreign-funded retail groups can only watch dramas now.
But in addition to both of us, Sunan actually has another force. "
Li Dong raised an eyebrow and said: "You mean those local retail companies?"
"Yes, there are currently three larger retail enterprises in Sunan. In addition to Su Guo, there are regular customers Long and Yongan.
Longtimers take root in Changshu, they chose to sink down the channel, almost completely covering the nearby area, and even Suguo could not beat them in the local area.
In addition, Yong'an is also the same, rooted in Wuxi, and Suguo in the local area is also not an opponent.
In this way, Su Guo is in a weak position in the three major regions of Tongzhou, Changshu, and Wuxi. As long as our three join forces, except Jinling, they can completely defeat them. "
Li Dong's eyes lit up first, but then he frowned: "Are they willing to join forces with us?"
Chen Lang said with a smile: "Nine out of ten would not be willing, they probably would rather sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, wait for our two to fight, and finally they might pick a bargain."
Sun Tao shook his head and said: "Even if our two wins or loses, they will not be able to pick up the bargain. Once Su Guo wins this time, he will definitely expand substantially and include the whole of Sunan.
Vice versa, if we win, these local SMEs have no capital to compete with us. "
"Everyone has a fluke mentality, although this is the overall situation, but they may not think so." Chen Lang smiled.
Li Dong knocked on the table and said: "Then how can we convince them to join us? Since President Chen mentioned it, he must have an idea."
Chen Lang did not sell Guanzi, and nodded: "It's a bit of an idea. The chairman knows, what was I doing in China Resources last time?"
"doing what?"
"Prepare to acquire Yongan!"
Chen Lang said with a smile: "My previous idea was that taking Yongan and reaching a united front with Suguo would then be able to encircle the distance. In this way, it would be easier and more unexpected than Suguo to encircle the distance. Next, the harvest must be great. "
Li Dong and Sun Tao couldn't help but be surprised, they almost ignored it.
Before China Resources had no action, plus Ma Jialiang and Chen Lang had serious differences, they thought that China Resources regardless of Su Guo, let them compete with distant places.
Unexpectedly, Chen Lang was not idle, but had a long-range idea.
If they were secretly acquired by Yongan, then the trouble was really not small, and then take the regular customer Long, the other side of the era may be really trapped.
Now even Sun Tao couldn't help but ask: "So now? Has China Resources reached an agreement with Yongan?"
"Not yet, but soon." Chen Lang said with a heavy face: "Because this project is completely led by me, and now I leave, they will have to take care of their clues in order to continue."
"So our only way out now is to cut off the middle when China Resources hasn't sorted it out yet!"
"As long as we have acquired regular customers Long and Yongan, then Sunan will be our only one.
Taking advantage of the situation to defeat Su Guo's defense lines in other regions, they can only trap Jinling, and Jinling is just how big, we slowly consume and consume energy to kill him. "
Li Dong and Sun Tao both smiled bitterly. Yes, Chen Lang was right.
But the key is money!
The merger and acquisition of two enterprises, at least billions, which is absolute.
Although Changke Long and Yong'an are far weaker than Suguo, they are not only small in size but also have a great reputation locally.
As it happens, it is time for China Resources to compete in the distance. Their participation is the key to winning or losing.
At this time, even if the two are willing to sell, then they have to sit on the floor and raise the price.
If there is so much money, Li Dong also wants to try it, defeating Su Guo, and buying two, Sunan is his only one ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and Jiangbei are connected together, he can speak the entire East China Master half.
But in the end, the topic has come back to its origin.
Seeing the two of them helpless, Chen Lang showed a smile on his face, mysteriously said: "If I said, I can take down two first, can the merger and acquisition last for a year and a half?"
"Really?" Li Dong glanced at him. "This is no joke. Even the first payment, we can't afford it now."
"And there is one more time, now to talk about mergers and acquisitions, and it is still two, do we have this time?"
Chen Lang said with a straight face: "If the chairman rests with me, then I will take care of the matter. I will go to Sunan secretly, and I will win two at most in a month.
But during this period, I am afraid that Jinling has no energy to look after it. "
Li Dong frowned: "This is no problem, Sunan can hand it over to you, but you ..."
What he wants to say is that Chen Lang can really do it?
The white wolf with empty gloves is still two medium-sized retail enterprises. Even if Chen Lang is very capable, Li Dong finds it difficult to achieve.
Chen Lang said seriously: "Chairman, this is the only way out at this time, I will not joke about this."
Li Dong thought for a moment and finally nodded: "Then you will try it. It's really necessary to spend the money. The group is now running out of money, but financing is still being discussed.
At that time, I let go and let the capital institutions enter. "
This is the last retreat. At this time, financing actually does not maximize the benefits.
But at that time, Li Dong could not care much.
Raise some money first, and then address the urgent needs.
Anyway, those capital institutions have money, Li Dong relaxes some conditions, and the money will be available soon.
If it is possible to defeat Su Guo and let Yuanfang Supermarket grow bigger in East China, these are worth it.
