Chapter 977: Chopping Hands Festival

In the early morning of June 10, Apple held a global developer conference.

Conference, Apple released a 3G version of the iPhone.

iPhone3G version, in fact, is not the world's first 3G mobile phone.

But in terms of actual influence, it was the iPhone that ushered the mobile phone era into the 3G era.

When 3G only existed in concept in China, others had already developed practical models, regardless of nationality. Even Li Dong recognized Apple's contribution in the era of smart phones.

As soon as 3G mobile phones came out, domestic mobile phone manufacturers looked sideways.

Soon, all major mobile phone manufacturers turned their attention to 3G mobile phones, and various technology development and research programs were put on the agenda one after another.

With the ability of the Chinese people, under the existing premise, it is not a big problem for the cottage to produce a mobile phone that has been developed.

The main problem is the operator, but Huaxia has already started to test the 3G network.

In April of this year, China Mobile began trial operation of TD-SCDMA network, which means the beginning of 3G commercialization.

According to the information disclosed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, by the end of this year, 3G operating licenses should be issued. The news is not clear to ordinary people, and people like Li Dong have sources of information.

In June 2008, it means that the era of smart phones has officially begun.

It is not a previous preparation, nor is it about to come, but it is officially here!

Even though there are no 3G mobile phones in China, everyone is already working overtime on research and development. Li Dong knows that all of this will come true in a short time.

...

On the morning of the 10th, Li Dong rushed to Zhuhai.

Li Dong had reached a consensus with Gree in advance, this time mainly to confirm the cooperation agreement.

In Gree, Li Dong met a strong woman who would become famous all over the country in the future.

Dong Minzhu is not the chairman of Gree at the moment, but the general manager.

As always, he was capable and straightforward, and the two sides quickly reached a cooperation intention. Li Dong left a few people here to negotiate a specific contract. He didn't stay long, and soon rushed to the next stop.

When leaving, Dong Minzhu politely sent Li Dong and the others away.

It is infinitely more difficult for a woman to rise in the market than a man. No matter how she is praised or criticized in the future, at least Li Dong admires her.

Her ability, her determination, and her ruthlessness are not born with her.

Women, if you are not ruthless, you can't control the situation.

Gree is so big and has so many employees, if you are a woman riding on other people's heads, if you are still limp, who will take you seriously.

A woman who stands alone has such a personality.

Ji Lanxin and Zhang Lanyu that Li Dong knew were actually the same, but Li Dong had no chance to see them.

Even Hu Xiaorui said what he said in the company, and no one dared to refute it.

Even Qin Yuhan, who was soft and weak in front of Li Dong, suffered from soft-heartedness at first, and was tricked by the employees.

Up to now, Qin Yuhan has gradually cultivated a decisive and decisive momentum.

The political and business circles are the places where people are trained the most, especially women. None of the women who can stand out in these two circles is a good one.

Of course, with the exception of their parents, these people are still weaker than the strong women who work alone.

...

On the 11th, Li Dong went to Midea.

Midea's side is similar to Gree, and the current president, Fang Hongbo and Li Dong are still fellow villagers, serious fellow villagers.

With this basis, the negotiation between the two parties will be more pleasant.

Soon, the agreement was officially reached.

When the financial crisis hit, the cooperation with Yuanfang, an enterprise that was about to win the status of the number one retailer in the country, was simply a timely help for several home appliance manufacturers.

As long as Li Dong's conditions are not too excessive, everyone is willing to accept the olive branch from afar.

TCL, Midea, Gree, and Liby, during a trip to Guangdong Province, Li Dong signed a strategic agreement with the four with lightning speed.

As soon as the news came out, the executives of Yuanfang Supermarket were naturally overjoyed.

The Suning, Gome two is vigilant.

Li Dong won the home appliance cooperation agreement of the three major manufacturers in one fell swoop this time, although compared with them, the gap is still obvious.

But this is an omen, indicating that Li Dong's next goal is likely to be set on the home appliance industry.

In fact, this trend has already existed before.

On the side of Yuanfang Mall, Yuanfang has gradually increased the scale of self-operated home appliances. Some of the brand owners that it cooperated with before are no longer involved in self-operation, but have transformed into direct suppliers of Yuanfang.

However, the trend was not obvious at that time. Now Li Dong personally went to Guangdong to negotiate with several major manufacturers and obtained the most favorable plan.

Now anyone with a discerning eye can see the purpose in the distance.

Not only the two major home appliance retail giants are vigilant, but other supermarkets are also vigilant.

Yuanfang is now accelerating the speed of channel laying. In the past, Yuanfang went against the trend because the cost was too high.

Yuanfang, which was established not long ago, has always had weaknesses in channel supply.

Even if Yuanfang uses a huge logistics system to lower the cost, it still surpasses other supermarkets in fact.

Fortunately, Yuanfang has improved its channel supply on a large scale to reduce costs, and with their self-operated logistics system, the cost will drop rapidly.

At that time, the bloody battle will start again in the distance, without the contrarian of the cost, I am afraid it will be more fierce than before.

Back then, without this advantage, the distance was so cruel, but now it is even more frightening.

It's not that no one wants to stop it, but it's actually completely impossible to stop it.

Channel suppliers are not their own companies, and they cannot stop others from doing business.

The small and medium-sized supermarkets are fine. The distributors dare not disobey the opinions of major customers, or they will be kicked out of the supply system and suffer heavy losses.

But in the distance, it is an industry giant.

If you want to block a giant company in the industry, China Resources and Bailian can't do it, unless it is a partnership with the top ten retail companies.

In fact, this is also impossible, their competition with each other is no less than that of Yuanfang, and they have joined forces, I am afraid they have not even thought about it.

...

On the 12th, Yuanfang officially released the news.

The companies that have signed strategic agreements are actually far more than those in Guangdong Province.

This time, Yuanfang included in the announcement all the well-known companies that had signed the agreement before, as well as the well-known companies that signed the agreement during Li Dong's absence.

From top to bottom, a total of more than 50 large and well-known enterprises have signed strategic agreements.

The announcement is of course more than that. Yuanfang announced that in mid-July, the heads of these companies will gather in Pingchuan.

At that time, we will re-sign the strategic cooperation framework with Yuanfang at the same time.

In order to celebrate the successful cooperation, on July 18th, like last year, Yuanfang Mall will continue to hold big promotions this year.

And this time the intensity is greater, because this time it is a joint promotion of various companies.

The two sides made such a large-scale strategic cooperation conference not only for the sake of sounding good, but also to open up the market.

Everyone is having a hard time this year, and the products are unsalable.

Cooperation now is also a matter of mutual benefit.

But for Li Dong, this year's big promotion is much more comfortable than last year.

Last year, he was engaged in loss-making business. This year is different. He directly cooperates with major manufacturers. This discount is the biggest discount given by the manufacturer itself.

On the far side, they can still make a fortune, and they can continue to open up the e-commerce market.

Even Li Dong wondered whether it would be better to carry out the online and offline cooperation mode at the same time this time.

But after careful consideration, the time is not too ripe.

Launching a big promotion online and offline at the same time requires too much manpower and material resources, and the logistics is tight. With the current logistics scale of Yuanfang, it is not enough to support a nationwide big promotion.

It may not be possible this year, but it should be almost the same next year.

At that time, it happened to be the time when smart phones were booming.

In the time frame when other people are either e-commerce or physical stores, Yuanfang directly began to explore and improve O2O operations across the country. This alone is enough to make Yuanfang invincible.

You may not make much money in the early stage, but you are ahead of others, and it was a few years ago. When others start to enter this market, Yuanfang has already established a solid foundation.

One step at a time, one step at a time.

It is impossible to expect Li Dong to make mistakes and be a pioneer for them, at least in recent years.

People like Ma Huateng and Ma Yun have always wanted Li Dong to explore the road and test the waters. Normally, it is right to do so.

But they never thought that Li Dong could see farther than they did.

When others only see the present, or two or three years later, he has already seen the future.

This is Li Dong's greatest confidence and his greatest capital.

...

Yuanfang's announcement this time made the silent Yuanfang appear in front of the Chinese people again.

Since the last time I ranted against Carrefour, there seems to be no sound in the distance.

Negotiations with Carrefour have not yielded results.

And Li Dong himself has been very low-key recently, and most people don't know what he is doing.

It wasn't until this time that everyone knew that Li Dong was not idle, he was still struggling.

online.

For Yuanfang Mall to continue to launch big promotions, many people are eager to try.

They are all authentic merchants, direct participation of serious manufacturers, the biggest discounts, the fastest logistics system...

A series of advantages make everyone look forward to it.

Many people are even calling, "Continue next year!"

"It's good to have a big promotion on July 18 every year."

"..."

Some people shouted while looking forward to it: "It's time to buy your hands again. This is not a big sale, it's obviously a hand-shopping festival!"

Before Li Dong himself started to make festivals, someone offered to help him make festivals.

Hand chopping Festival, the word spread quickly, and it was trending on Weibo that day, attracting a large number of people who agreed and watched.

There was an uproar of uploads on the Internet, and Li Dong also began to prepare to return to Pingchuan.

Just as he was about to go back, someone was talking about him.

...

the capital.

Graduation is near.

As the time for dissertation defense arrives, most students stay on campus at the moment, whether they are interns or preparing for further studies.

Qin Yuhan just returned to the dormitory after finishing the business in the store, when Qi Fangfang laughed exaggeratedly: "Yuhan, your Li Dong is getting better and better!"

Qin Yuhan wondered, "What's wrong?"

"What's the matter! Didn't you see the announcement just now? Yuanfang has contacted more than 50 large-scale manufacturing brands and is planning to hold a cooperation conference in Jiangbei.

There are even several companies that directly revealed that they are planning to invest in the construction of a manufacturing base in Jiangbei.

Changing the development strategy for a company, Li Dong's influence is getting bigger and bigger.

And Yuanfang will soon start the 7.18 Hands-Chopping Festival, a grand event in the entire e-commerce world! "

Qi Fangfang said it in one breath, her face was neither red nor out of breath, she was more proud than Qin Yuhan.

There is no way, seeing many people discussing Li Dong on the Internet, talking about Li Dong, she feels that she knows Li Dong, which is quite honorable.

Everyone has vanity. When she first met Li Dong a few years ago, Qi Fangfang still insisted that she was a top student in Beijing University, and she didn't feel inferior or anything.

But now, Li Dong is almost becoming a legendary figure.

Not to mention she is a student of Peking University, even a professor of Peking University does not have a high status in front of Li Dong.

Of course, there are some differences between the cultural world and the business world.

But in any case, Li Dong's current achievements are already impressive.

Even knowing Li Dong is enough to brag about it now.

Just as Qi Fangfang finished speaking, Zhang Mengmeng also smiled and said: "Yes, sister Yuhan, you said that if you reveal to the outside world that you are Li Dong's girlfriend, I'm afraid you will be published in the newspaper immediately.

At that time, maybe we can also enjoy the scene of being surrounded by paparazzi.

I get excited just thinking about it, Sister Yuhan, I can hardly hold back anymore, I really want to announce it to the public. "

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Qin Yuhan was a little speechless, and quickly dismissed their thoughts: "Don't come up with any bad ideas, I still want to spend the last time in college quietly."

"Boring!"

Qi Fangfang pursed her lips as soon as she heard this, and said, "It's not easy to have a chance to show off, what a pity, you girl, why do you think you are so low-key."

Qin Yuhan smiled and didn't answer.

Qi Fangfang thought for a while and said, "Yuhan, do you really want to go back to Jiangbei? You have almost ten stores in the capital now, so why don't you just give up?"

Qin Yuhan smiled and said, "It's not about giving up, it's just a matter of directing with the remote control."

"But...forget it, it's fine to go back. If you don't go back, be careful of that guy Li Dong's empathy."

Qi Fangfang made a joke carelessly, and Zhang Mengmeng and Zhou Yue, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but stare at her.

This guy really can't open the pot and lift the pot!

In fact, they all knew about Shen Qian.

Because of his status, Zhou Yue knew all about these things.

Qi Fangfang and Zhang Mengmeng read about it from gossip magazines, and the two had gone to a distant place for an internship before, and they also knew Shen Qian.

Now Qin Yuhan's heart is probably in a mess, and with the fact that she has completely returned to Pingchuan, which is different from the previous holidays, she doesn't know how disturbed she is. Isn't this joke at this time adding pressure to her.

Qi Fangfang was stared at by the two, and knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly smiled and said, "Just kidding, how could such a pure man like Li Dong do such a thing..."

This time even Qin Yuhan couldn't help but glared at her, and said with a smile: "Okay, the more you explain, the more chaotic you become. I'm not as fragile as you think, so don't worry about me, whatever you want to say, if I can't bear this , broke up a long time ago."

Qi Fangfang and the others looked at each other, a little surprised, this girl seems to be different now.
