Chapter 940: Konankai

May 4th. . The fastest update
The distant convoy went to the Shanghai market.
Pingchuan is not too far from the Shanghai market, and it takes only five or six hours to drive.
This time Li Dong went to the Shanghai market, bringing a lot of people, financial, legal consultants, marketing director ...
A complete team went to the Shanghai market collectively. Although Li Dong didn't say anything, Yuan Chengdao and Sun Tao understood his plan.
If it wasn't for Carrefour, why would Li Dong take so many people with him.
As for the money needed to acquire Carrefour, neither Sun Tao nor Yuan Chengdao asked.
Since Li Dong dares to do this, he must have his grasp and confidence.
If it doesn't work, it's time to take everyone to travel.
...
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Dong and his team arrived at Four Seasons Hotel.
Chen Lang had already arranged everything. Li Dong asked Bai Su to leave his luggage, and he and Chen Lang entered the hotel cafe.
One person ordered a cup of coffee, Li Dong exhaled for a long time.
Chen Lang said: "Will you return to your room to rest after a while? Or go for a spa, the four seasons spa center is one of the most famous in Shanghai."
Li Dong waved his hands and smiled, "Forget it, what a big man I do as a spa is a bit tired, but just take a break."
Chen Lang said nothing, although he thought it was normal for men to do spa treatments.
But since Li Dong doesn't like it, he no longer recommends it.
Chen Lang didn't let Li Dong spend a lot of money to dig him over by clapping. He knew what Li Dong wanted to know at the moment.
Before Li Dong asked, Chen Lang said: "This time Duran invited many people. Although nominally a private banquet, we actually know exactly what Duran wants to do.
In addition to us, China Resources Vanguard, Bailian, Bright, Wal-Mart, Tesco, Auchan ... "
Li Dong interrupted before he finished speaking: "Duran also invited Auchan?"
Auchan is Carrefour's biggest competitor in France.
But soon Li Dong reacted and squinted with a smile: "Does Dulan prepare to let Auchan take over and then let Auchan invest more in China?"
Once Auchan increases investment in China, it will definitely shrink its offensive in France and give Carrefour a truce.
And Carrefour may even hope that Auchan will fall into the big quagmire of China, so that is more suitable for them.
Having figured this out, Li Dong did not continue to ask.
It is normal for several other companies to be invited. China Resources Bailian will not say for a while, there is also an agricultural and industrial company under Guangming, which is also a large local group in the Shanghai market.
And brightly backed by state-owned assets, maybe Carrefour and the Shanghai municipal government have reached any agreement.
However, these Li Dong did not manage it for the time being, even if an agreement was reached, as long as things were not settled, in the end, the interests were still the priority.
Li Dong didn't ask, Chen Lang continued: "In addition to them, some other enterprises have also been invited, and Suning and Gome are also listed."
Li Dong nodded and said, "I guessed all of this. Are there any giants in other industries?"
Chen Lang said with a straight face: "Yes, and there are quite a few. But now we can't figure out the specific list. In short, there are people from all walks of life.
Of course, it is worthy of our attention, not many people with this strength participate in it. "
Li Dong smiled and said: "It's normal to have them. You can sell three of them, so that you can maximize your profits.
However, in my opinion, this time I really dare to participate, and there should not be many companies with this strength to participate.
China Resources is one. Bailian is not easy to say. Bailian is not very keen on mergers and acquisitions, but it cannot be ruled out.
In addition, several foreign-funded department stores have this strength and possibility.
As for Suning and Gome, they both made soy sauce. At this time, they hadn't got their own things done, so they entered the chain department store industry in a hurry.
I heard that Gome and Carrefour have reached an agreement before, and Gome has entered the Carrefour store in East China. I think Gome should have come here for this matter.
As for other industries, most of them come to join in the fun. "
Chen Lang nodded as soon as he heard it: "It is indeed the case, I am similar to your analysis. In fact, in my opinion, our biggest opponent is only two, the first is China Resources, and the second is Tesco.
As for the other ones, I think they are not very competitive.
I know them from China Resources, and this time they must have an idea.
Previously, China Resources Vanguard merged and acquired several small supermarkets on the Shanghai market. However, due to the suppression of Bailian and several other companies, China Resources has not been able to grow on the Shanghai market.
The withdrawal of Carrefour this time is an opportunity for China Resources to enter the Shanghai stock market. They will not let go easily.
On the Tesco side, they have always wanted to enter the Chinese market on a large scale, but unfortunately they have been too short to enter the Chinese market in 2004.
In recent years, Wal-Mart and Carrefour have become bigger, but Tesco has not improved much.
If I were them, I would be willing to take over the property left over by Carrefour now.
In addition to these two, Guangming does not have this strength. Auchan and Carrefour have some gaps in positioning. Taking over their stores may not maximize their profits.
On the Bailian side, I guess Ten will not shoot, or not.
In short, this time we mainly stared at China Resources and Tesco, we should be able to see the clues. "
For Chen Lang's analysis, Li Dong still agrees.
China Resources and Tesco have the biggest motivation and sufficient strength.
Others, mostly soy sauce.
...
When Li Dong and Chen Lang discussed, some people also arrived in Shanghai shortly afterwards.
Ma Yun walked out of the car and hugged Guo Guangchang.
Guo Guangchang smiled and said: "Lao Ma, you have been shrinking in Lin'an recently. I thought you were beaten up by Li Dong. I didn't expect you to come to see me at this time."
Ma Yun chuckled and said: "Lao Guo, don't think about doing passionate things. Who said I came to see you?"
"Hahaha, don't look at it if you don't look at it, go, haven't eaten yet, let's go get some food."
"Wait for your treat to starve to death, eat it, go have a cup of coffee."
Ma Yun laughed and also chose to drink coffee at this time.
The two went to a coffee shop and sat down. Guo Guangchang looked at him for a while and said, "Lao Ma, don't hide me, this time for Carrefour?"
Ma Yun did not deny it, anyway, Guo Guangchang will know sooner or later.
Nodding his head, Ma Yun leaned back in his chair and said: "I have been thinking about it recently. I am thinking about a question. Why can the Faraway Mall inflict heavy damage on Taobao?
I have considered it for a long time, and the logistics problem is not actually the root cause.
The main reason is the supermarket in the distant place, relying on the supermarket in the distant place, the o2o has achieved the ultimate in China.
After the two-way combination, this has enabled Yuanfang Mall to develop so rapidly in the past two years.
The difference between Taobao and Far Away is the same. If we also have a large-scale physical store enterprise such as Far Away Supermarket, once we reach complementarity and form combat power, it is definitely a terrible thing.
So this time Carrefour wanted to evacuate, I came.
On the one hand, it is to prevent the distance from continuing to grow bigger, on the other hand, it is to fill the gap in Ali.
I used to think that the Internet and the physical industry can actually be separated.
Ali just needs to concentrate on the Internet, and now I find that I am wrong.
There must be my teacher in the three-person line, and Li Dong gave me a lesson. "
Ma Yun said this very plainly and sincerely, of course, very seriously.
He really felt that Li Dong gave him a lesson.
If it weren't for Li Dong, he wouldn't think of going into the retail industry at this time.
If it were not for Li Dong, he would not go online with Cainiao Logistics and Taobao Mall last year.
Originally in his plan, these are none.
But when Li Dong did it, and achieved his results, Ma Yun understood that he should do it himself.
He is not that kind of die-hard, nor will he do it because someone else did it first. He has to do it according to his own ideas.
Doing business is actually the most taboo.
Learning from strengths and absorbing shortcomings is what mature entrepreneurs should do.
Guo Guangchang frowned a little and said: "Old horse, it's not necessary to fight for a short time. I know you are in a hurry now, but it doesn't mean that you can get in trouble.
Ali is now a little bigger, and the rookie logistics is still under construction. You have made a strategic investment in the word-of-mouth network before, saying that it is to integrate resources.
You want to set up Alibaba Research Institute, and you want to be a Taobao Mall ...
Now you have to do retail, Lao Ma, are you confused by Li Dong's stimulation? "
In 2008, Ali's strength was really not too strong. When it first went public last year, it broke out once.
After being listed, Ali's b2b business has shrunk repeatedly, and Taobao, which should have exploded at this time, also failed to get the maximum benefit because of its competitors in China.
The current Ali is not as good as the strength of the previous time and space.
Coupled with Ma Yun's recent large-scale investment, which of Cainiao Logistics and Taobao Mall is not a place to spend money.
Now that Ma Yun actually wants to enter the retail industry, it is no wonder that Guo Guangchang hit him.
He has a very good relationship with Ma Yun. He doesn't want Ma Yun to lose his position because of his competition with Li Dong.
In his eyes, Ma Yun has always been a maverick and has a personality charm. This may be the foundation of Ma Yun's success.
And now, Ma Yun is converting himself to Li Dong, and Guo Guangchang thinks this is not a good thing.
Although Ma Yun was not clear about his concerns, he still smiled and said, "Lao Guo, I know everything you said, and I am not a fool.
I haven't done physical retailing, how dare I enter easily, and there is a great possibility of being overwhelmed by a distance. "
"that……"
Guo Guangchang looked suspicious, and Ma Yun still did not hide him, laughing: "I talked to Lao Shen, Lao Shen will come tomorrow."
"Old Shen? Guojun?"
Guo Guangchang was shocked. Shen Guojun in his mouth was the chairman of Intime.
Shen Guojun and Ma Yun had a deep relationship, and they knew each other long ago.
Both sides are Jiangsu and Zhejiang people, and are representative of Zhejiang businessmen.
When Ma Yun founded the Jiangnan Association before, Shen Guojun and Ma Yun were both founders.
The Jiangnan Association is an association established by several major Zhejiang businessmen. The eight founders are the pillars of the Zhejiang businessmen.
Of course, Guo Guangchang is also one of them.
Intime Department Store was just listed last year, and the results are also good.
At this time, Ma Yun actually talked to Shen Guojun and was ready to join forces to enter the field. The two guys were quite brave.
Just as Guo Guangchang was meditating, Ma Yun smiled and said, "Lao Shen and I decided to start with Carrefour.
Old Shen was unwilling to keep the tail of the crane, and Yintai was established much longer than a distance.
As a result, the distance is now hitting the number one position in the department store chain. Intime has not even reached tens of billions of annual sales here. He is still a listed company. Old Shen himself said that he was ashamed.
If we can win Carrefour this time, then Intime will be able to rush to the top ten of the department store chain next year.
Although it is not a distant opponent, it is better than now, and is directly regarded as an unknown. "
Guo Guangchang took a breath and said after a while: "Are you serious?"
Ma Yun nodded and said: "Of course it is serious, how about, do you want to join in?"
Guo Guangchang's Fosun is actually doing retail, and it's not small.
In Yuyuan Mall in Shanghai, Fosun is its largest shareholder.
It sounds like a mall, but it is actually a large-scale comprehensive enterprise.
In retail alone, it is stronger than Intime.
Of course, the gap is not large. Retail companies with annual sales of less than 10 billion yuan are not too high in the domestic department store industry.
Guo Guangchang frowned and did not rush to speak.
In fact, Dulan also invited him this time. Fosun did a great job in the Shanghai market, and was once the first among Shanghai's private enterprises.
However, in cooperation with Yintai and Ma Yun, Guo Guangchang was actually not too willing at this time.
On the one hand, he and Yintai are walking together. When that happens, how to manage Carrefour and how to distribute benefits is a problem.
Unlike Ali and Intime, both sides are mutually beneficial, he and Intime are competing.
Another point is because he and Ali just worked with Cainiao Logistics before, and now Ma Yun hasn't gotten this right yet, he is thinking of entering the retail market again.
Although Guo Guangchang is rich, he is not willing to mess up.
This guy Ma Yun has a big heart, even if Guo Guangchang believes in him, he dare not really invest too much in Ali.
Otherwise, Fosun has become a vassal of Ali, they said that what they want to develop, they will follow what they invest.
Seeing Guo Guangchang hesitating, Ma Yun said with a smile: "It's okay, you think about it slowly, anyway, it's not a day or two.
This time I really want to eat Carrefour. I need a lot of money, and no one will make such a hasty decision.
By the way, I called Lao Chen before I came, and we will get together tomorrow.
Lao Chen has a lot of money to see if he can pull it in. "
Lao Chen is also a member of the Jiangnan Association.
The eight founders of the Jiangnan Association, Ma Yun of Ali, Shen Guojun of Intime, Guo Guangchang of Fosun, these are three of them ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Others include Ding Lei of NetEase, Song Weiping of Greentown ... and Chen Tianqiao of Shanda.
Ma Yun is talking about Chen Tianqiao. When Chen Tianqiao was in 2004, he was once the richest man in China. Over the years, he used a legendary game to gather money.
Chen Tianqiao still has money.
However, in recent years, Chen Tianqiao has failed several times in his investment, and now he has lowered his profile a lot.
Ma Yun's idea is to be able to draw one by one, this guy has money, let him participate in a share can also ease the pressure of Ali and Yintai.
Everyone has a good relationship. The purpose of the Jiangnan Association was to help each other and support each other.
Ma Yun felt that Chen Tianqiao should be more persuasive than Guo Guangchang. ’
Unlike Fosun, which now has a clear goal, Shanda ’s position in the interactive entertainment industry at this time is indeed not good.
In this case, Chen Tianqiao is more likely to agree.
