Chapter 946 Prying the Corner

Li Dong didn't know that Ma Yun, who would be stimulated today, was full of fighting spirit.

Successful people naturally have their reasons for success, even without Guo Guangchang's awakening, it will be a matter of time before Ma Yun wakes up by himself.

...

Dulan didn't continue to discuss business, and everyone didn't care.

It was rare to meet together, and everyone started chatting.

Li Dong chatted with Zhang Jindong and Chen Lang chatted with Hong Ji next to him.

Hong Ji looked at Chen Lang with complicated eyes, this is his old boss and old friend.

When he first entered China Resources Vanguard, Chen Lang took good care of him.

Even his becoming the general manager of China Resources Vanguard was due to Chen Lang's help.

But now, his former boss has become his biggest opponent, bringing him tremendous pressure.

Part of this pressure came from afar, and part of it came from Chen Lang himself.

When Chen Lang was in China Resources Vanguard for a few years, China Resources Vanguard once surpassed Bailian and became the number one department store in the country.

However, when Chen Lang left and he took over again, the Wan family started to go downhill.

The headquarters began to question him, and the subordinates began to miss the Chen Lang era.

Everyone likes to compare him with Chen Lang, and the final result is that Hong Ji is far inferior to Chen Lang.

This made Hongji bear an indescribable pressure, the mountain on his body became heavier and heavier, and even almost crushed him.

Chen Lang seemed to see what he was thinking, raised his glass to touch him, and said with a light smile, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you did a good job, if it were me, I would have nothing to do against an opponent like Yuan Fang .”

Hong Ji came back to his senses, and said with a wry smile: "Why do you feel that you are not comforting me, but hitting me?"

Chen Lang laughed and said, "I'm not hurting you, I'm serious.

Although Yuanfang has not been established for a long time, the foundation has been laid now.

Four years is enough for Yuanfang to stabilize. At this time, the domestic retail industry has nothing to contend with.

Among China Resources, Bailian and Yuanfang, Yuanfang will win in the end. "

Hong Ji frowned slightly and said, "Are you so confident?"

Chen Lang shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm confident, it's not that Bailian and China Resources are not good enough, and it's not that you are not as good as Yuanfang.

However, your constraints are too great, let’s not talk about Bailian, let’s talk about China Resources Vanguard, layer after layer of constraints are already pressing you out of breath.

Huachuang is oppressing you, and the headquarters of China Resources Group is also oppressing you. How much autonomy do you have?

Every time I do things, I look forward and backward, and discuss with one meeting on the left and the other on the right.

It takes China Resources at least a month to make a decision on an investment and merger involving hundreds of millions of dollars.

Let alone a large-scale merger and acquisition involving Carrefour, I am 100% sure that China Resources has not yet decided whether to participate or not.

It's hard to say whether the headquarters of China Resources even cares about this matter.

This time Dulan came to Shanghai, didn't you feel it yourself?

When it comes to such a large-scale investment, whoever is not the chairman of the group, even if not, is the top person in charge of the region.

Huarun is good..."

Chen Lang sighed and said, "It's not that I look down on you, Lao Hong, tell yourself, can you decide anything when you come here alone? Can it represent anything?

You can't do anything, this time China Resources really has a heart, and it won't be you who came here, not to mention Mr. Song from the group, but Wang Donglai from Huachuang.

Originally, I was still thinking that this time our competitors may have China Resources, but now it seems that China Resources is not a cause for concern. "

Hong Ji's expression changed. This matter could be hidden from others, but Chen Lang couldn't.

The facts were indeed the same as what Chen Lang said, the headquarters of China Resources did not approve his merger plan.

There are too many funds involved, and the current economic environment is not good. The headquarters is unwilling to continue large-scale investment in retail.

According to the meaning of the headquarters, at this time, it is best to increase investment in energy.

Monopoly businesses such as electricity and gas are the foundation of China Resources, especially when the financial crisis affects them.

At present, only the energy business is profitable, so why take the risk of expanding the retail industry.

If Chen Lang were in power, with his connections and network, he might be able to convince the group headquarters.

But Hongji didn't have the confidence and qualifications.

At this time, billions of dollars were invested in this, and there were many people who opposed it at the headquarters.

Of course, in normal times, everyone would argue and discuss for a while, and maybe the plan could be passed in the end.

But all of this takes time, without three to five months, it is almost impossible to settle.

If there are no competitors, only one of them participates, involving billions of investment projects, a few months is not too long.

It might not be uncommon for a year or two to be delayed until the thorough negotiations are over.

But now, if others don't say anything, Yuanfang will definitely make a move.

Li Dong habitually likes to make quick decisions. I'm afraid Li Dong has already concluded his negotiations with Carrefour before they finished their discussions.

Thinking so, Hong Ji retorted subconsciously: "Carrefour won't be settled so quickly, everyone knows when you shop around.

I believe that in the end the group will definitely agree to Wanjia's plan. We can wait for a few months, and so can Carrefour. "

Chen Lang smiled lightly and said, "It's okay to say this on others, but not on Yuan Fang.

Carrefour can wait, and is willing to wait, but it also depends on whether Yuan Fang agrees. "

Hong Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Chen, you were not like this before. Pride makes one complacent. You are too confident."

"Haha, maybe." Chen Lang drank his red wine and said with a smile, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, how long are you planning to stay in Shanghai this time?"

"not sure yet."

"Well, let's take some time off, let's find time to have a few drinks, I will stay here in Shanghai during this time."

The two chatted for a while, and when Li Dong waved to Chen Lang, Chen Lang said, "I'll go first."

"Go and do your work." Hong Ji nodded.

When Chen Lang left, Hong Ji looked at his back and frowned.

...

Li Dong called Chen Lang over because someone was looking for him to discuss cooperation.

It was none other than Huang Guangyu who was looking for him.

Gome and Carrefour had negotiated a cooperation before, and Gome Electronics settled in Carrefour's East China store to resist Suning's attack.

But who knew that Carrefour would fail at this time, and the cooperation would naturally end without a problem.

Huang Guangyu was not reconciled and let it go. After much deliberation, in East China, if he wanted to choose a partner, China Resources and Yuanfang would be more suitable.

These two companies occupy a high market share in East China, which is more suitable than Carrefour.

However, China Resources was too demanding, and they liked to ignore them. Huang Guangyu didn't bother to talk to them after talking with them once.

It's okay to bow your head properly when doing business, but it also depends on the target.

China Resources is a bit stronger than Gome, but that is the overall strength. In terms of retail alone, Gome is the industry leader.

As a result, even if the other party's requirements are high, the attitude does not show any sincerity.

In the end, Huang Guangyu decided to talk to Li Dong.

Although Suning and Yuanfang have cooperation, it is limited to the Beijing-Tianjin area, and East China is not included.

That being the case, as long as the conditions are right, the two sides can talk.

In addition, Huang Guangyu also wanted to talk to Yuanfang about Gome's entry into Yuanfang Mall.

In 2008, Gome did not have its own online shopping mall. In the previous life, Gome acquired Kuba.com 10 years ago, and this life is not much different. Gome has not yet decided to build its own e-commerce mall.

Li Dong naturally welcomes Gome's initiative to discuss cooperation.

In fact, Yuanfang Supermarket is also doing self-operated electrical appliances now, but after all, its energy is limited.

Making electrical appliances is not just as simple as making electrical appliances.

The huge after-sales service system makes Yuanfang a little overwhelmed at the moment. In this case, it is more appropriate to find a few partners before the strength is insufficient.

Li Dong doesn't care how Gome and Suning compete.

He will not reject Gome because of his cooperation with Suning. In fact, Suning Gome is the same in Li Dong's eyes.

As long as it can bring him benefits, Li Dong doesn't mind causing Suning some trouble.

Zhang Jindong of Suning is very ambitious. He is not satisfied with making electrical appliances, but also wants to become bigger in e-commerce and department stores.

Both parties are located in East China, and Suning has a strong foundation.

If they really let them do it, it will be a big trouble.

...

As soon as Chen Lang arrived, Li Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, you should know this person, right? Chen Lang, Mr. Chen, my old senior.

You can talk to Mr. Chen about the cooperation between the two parties. I don't know much about these specific businesses. "

Huang Guangyu naturally knew Chen Lang, and the two had dealt with each other before.

Seeing Chen Lang, Huang Guangyu felt a little headache. In fact, he would rather talk to Li Dong about business.

On the one hand, Li Dong has great autonomy, and on the other hand, Li Dong is informal, and some things can be passed in a few words, so there is no need to talk too deeply.

But in Chen Lang's hands, I'm afraid there will be some wrangling.

Headache was headache, Huang Guangyu still smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, long time no see!"

Chen Lang responded with a smile for a while, and then started talking with Huang Guangyu.

Li Dong didn't care what they talked about, Chen Lang was more suitable and professional than him.

While everyone was chatting in small circles, an employee of Carrefour hurried up to Duran and said a few words.

Immediately afterwards, Du Lan took Luo Guowei and Chen Ying towards the entrance of the banquet hall.

Others were also attracted, at this moment Chen Lang came over and said in a low voice, "It seems that the Shanghai Municipal Government has come."

Li Dong nodded slightly, and asked softly: "How did you talk with Lao Huang?"

Chen Lang glanced at Huang Guangyu who was not far away, and said with a low laugh: "I just talked about it in general, and we'll talk about the specifics later.

But this time, I think we can talk about it. Didn't you say that Mr. Huang may not be able to stabilize this year?

If what I told you is true, maybe we can take the opportunity to swallow part of their business in East China. "

If something happened to Huang Guangyu, Gome would definitely be in chaos for a while.

At that time, their ability to control their business was not strong, and Yuanfang had a great opportunity to swallow this part of the business they cooperated with.

But seeing Huang Guangyu still jumping around, Chen Lang felt that his previous guess might not be accurate.

Anyway, no matter whether you can swallow it or not, Yuanfang will not lose if you cooperate.

As long as the conditions are right, there is still room for cooperation between the two parties before Yuanfang's self-operated electrical appliances become bigger.

After whispering a few words, Li Dong and Chen Lang also walked towards the door.

This time, people from the Shanghai stock market have come, and everyone has received news in advance, but there is no conclusion yet on who will come.

But everyone guessed that the one who came this time was at least a member of the Standing Committee.

With so many domestic tycoons present at the scene, it's not that the Standing Committee can't suppress the scene, and the ranking must be high, and the low-ranking ones may not be able to suppress everyone.

...

Soon, Li Dong and the others knew who it was.

The current mayor of Shanghai Stock Exchange came in person, and he is a bigwig at the same level as Du Anmin.

And to be serious, the mayor of the Shanghai stock market is more likely to go further than Du Anmin.

Song Cheng is less than 55 years old this year, with black hair and vigorous steps.

From far away, Song Cheng's laughter came over.

First he shook hands with Du Lan, and then Song Cheng shook hands with everyone present one by one.

People like Xu Rongmao and Guo Guangchang had grown up in the Shanghai stock market and were familiar with Song Cheng, so they stopped talking after a few polite words.

As for the others, some of them were meeting Song Cheng for the first time.

Excluding the local tycoons in the Shanghai stock market, there are not many people who deserve Songcheng's attention. Huang Guangyu, Zhang Jindong, and Li Dong are considered to have the highest status present.

However, Huang Guangyu and Zhang Jindong have already made arrangements in the Shanghai stock market, and the investment is not small. Songcheng is not here for them this time.

Among the tycoons present, Li Dong has the least investment and layout in the Shanghai stock market.

Yuanfang entered the Shanghai stock market vigorously before, but the investment was less than 2 billion, which felt a bit thunderous and rainy.

You know, Yuanfang has invested tens of billions in southern Jiangsu, and the Shanghai stock market economy is much more developed than southern Jiangsu.

Song Cheng's visit this time is to attract investment on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also has an idea, wanting to relocate the headquarters in Yuanfang.

From Song Cheng's point of view, Jiangbei is not a developed area.

Yuanfang wants to continue to expand, so relocating the headquarters is actually a better choice.

In China, where the Internet, retail, and logistics are well developed, there are only a few first-tier cities, and Beijing and Shanghai are the most suitable.

But on the other side of the capital, Song Cheng felt that the possibility was unlikely.

It's not that he knows that Li Dong doesn't like the capital, but that Du Anmin works in the capital.

The relationship between Li Dong and Du Anmin is not clear, and if he really wants to move the headquarters to the capital, there is suspicion of Li Xia in the melon field.

After much deliberation, Song Cheng felt that the Shanghai stock market was definitely suitable for a distant place.

Moreover, the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Pingchuan are not far apart. Using the Shanghai Stock Exchange as the headquarters and Pingchuan as the second headquarters can also completely connect East China.

With so many advantages in the Shanghai stock market, Song Cheng felt that he could still impress Li Dong.

Pulling a private enterprise with a scale of 100 billion yuan to settle in the Shanghai stock market is worth Song Cheng's heart.

So when he shook hands with Li Dong, Song Cheng smiled very enthusiastically, and he didn't hesitate to praise Li Dong.

After boasting for a while, let alone Li Dong, even the bystanders felt that Song Cheng had "bad intentions".

Song Cheng didn't mind letting them know his "bad intentions", and finally smiled in Li Dong's modesty: "Mr. Li, as an open international metropolis, the Shanghai Stock Exchange is at the forefront of the world.

The Shanghai stock market is looking forward to entrepreneurs like Mr. Li and first-class private enterprises like Yuanfang entering the Shanghai stock market for development.

The Shanghai stock market can give more opportunities and more space for development..."

As soon as a few words were uttered, everyone immediately understood, well, it's time to pry the corner of the wall.

I don't know if Qin Hanyuan of Jiangbei and the others will find him desperately if they find out. Jiangbei has finally found a private enterprise like Yuanfang, the number one signboard. Is it really appropriate for you to do this?
