After talking about OPPO, Sun Tao continued, "In addition, Mr. Wang went to talk to Yonghui, but it didn't go well.
Yonghui is backed by HSBC and has no intention of withdrawing from the market competition.
HSBC, on the other hand, had a lot of bad debts abroad because of the financial crisis.
Their business in Hong Kong has also been affected.
They are now looking for investment opportunities in China, and the retail industry is also a direction.
Other large supermarkets have their own channels, but Yonghui does not.
I heard that HSBC may inject funds into Yonghui again. With this confidence, Yonghui will not surrender. "
Li Dong sneered, "Counting on HSBC? In HSBC's eyes, Yonghui is nothing. It can only be said to be an ordinary investment. If Yonghui really becomes a regional hegemon, HSBC may continue to invest. But Yonghui is not yet. If there is a loss, HSBC will just throw it away. Does Yonghui really think that HSBC will support them unconditionally? "
Sun Tao shook his head, "We understand this, and so does Yonghui. But the other party is also making a last-ditch struggle.
Otherwise, they won't be willing to just surrender.
Besides, they are also gambling that we won't care about them now.
After all, we have too many things to do now. Carrefour has not been integrated yet, and Sunan has just finished integrating their resources.
At this stage, everyone thinks that we will rest and recuperate.
With time as a buffer and HSBC's support, Yonghui can become bigger. Once it becomes bigger, it will be profitable.
At that time, HSBC will definitely not give up on these investments. Once we really go to war with Yonghui, HSBC will not sit back and do nothing for the sake of their own interests. "
"Then let's go to war now!" Li Dong said coldly, "Yonghui has only two centers now. One is Minnan, and the other is Shancheng.
Minnan Province is beyond our reach.
Although we've acquired Carrefour, and Carrefour's strength in Minnan is not bad, it hasn't entered our sector yet, so we can't make a big fuss about it.
Let's destroy their territory in Mountain City first. I want to see what they can do!
Once Mountain City was wiped out, they would lose their territory. What was there to struggle for?
They aren't the only ones in Minnan. Wal-Mart and Carrefour are Far Away right now. Once we're done, we won't be any weaker than them in Minnan.
If they don't disarm after taking down Mountain City, I'll join forces with Wal-Mart to get rid of them first! "
Sun Tao furrowed his eyebrows slightly. Teaming up with Wal-Mart? It would not be good if word got out.
As for whether Wal-Mart would agree or not, it wasn't within their consideration.
If nothing unexpected happened, there was a high chance that he would agree.
Now everyone was integrating their resources and waiting for the final battle. Yong Hui's strength could not be said to be strong, but it could also be said to be weak.
If they were to stay by their side, they wouldn't let them grow too big in the end.
In the past few years, the retail market in Hua Xia had changed greatly. All the resources had been gathered, and a national retail war was likely to break out.
All the small fries had to be cleared out before the final battle.
Unless Yonghui became one of the top ten department stores now, its fate was already set.
After thinking about it, Sun Tao said, "Even if we start the war now, our advantage in Mountain City isn't too big. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to clear them out in one go.
"Whether we can kill them or not, we'll talk about it after we hurt them. Delay them first. They can't outlast us. Once we absorb Carrefour's resources, we'll kill them sooner or later. "
"Then I'll talk to CEO Wang later …"
As they were talking, Liu Hong knocked on the door and walked in.
Seeing that Sun Tao was in the middle of a discussion, Liu Hong smiled apologetically. Li Dong didn't care about that and asked, "How's the promotion going?"
"Today's transaction volume is much lower than yesterday's. At night, the transaction volume may not exceed 1 billion. "
On the first day, the transaction volume of Far Away Mall exceeded 1.5 billion. On the second day, which was today, the decline was astonishing, falling below 1 billion.
Although he had expected it, Liu Hong was helpless to see it fall so much.
If it could exceed 1 billion today, he could work toward the goal of surpassing Taobao's 10 billion. But now that it had fallen so much, it was obviously impossible.
Li Dong pondered for a while before saying, "Reveal the bet between me and Ma Yun and hype it up on Weibo. See if it can alleviate the decline.
"Also, pay more attention to the Wan Jia Net.
Although O2O can't cover the whole country, it can still cover some areas.
Isn't the logistics center in the southwest already laying channels?
Just nice, this time we'll use Mountain City and Sichuan as a pilot to see the effect.
"As for the supermarket, I just told CEO Sun to prepare to suppress Yonghui. Isn't Yonghui selling fresh products?
This time, the Wan Jia Net will focus on trying out fresh products. Treat it as market research. "
Liu Hong looked at Sun Tao, thought for a while, and said, "There's no problem with the Wan Jia Net. In terms of logistics, I don't think it's a big problem. The main problem is the supermarket. I don't know if they can cooperate with us. "
This was not a matter of one company. It was a joint operation online and offline, and all three companies were indispensable.
Online, offline, logistics. In fact, Liu Hong was most worried that the supermarket would not cooperate.
This had happened before. Although they were all in the same company, there was also internal competition.
The Wan Jia Net's sales actually weakened the supermarket's business and used the supermarket's resources.
In the end, the revenue could not be attributed to the supermarket.
At present, Faraway Supermarket was fighting for the top position in the country. Would the supermarket really cooperate with the Wan Jia Net?
For example, if someone placed an order on the Wan Jia Net, the supermarket closest to the place where the order was placed should be responsible for the delivery.
At this time, it was not impossible for the supermarket to use the reason of a shortage of goods as an excuse. In fact, it had happened many times before.
What's more, not only did the supermarket not cooperate, they even poached the Wan Jia Net's customers. This had also happened before.
The reason why O2O was so difficult to promote and why many companies returned in failure was because of external and internal factors.
This was also the reason why Li Dong had previously considered integrating several major businesses together and setting up a new group.
Only by combining them into a true family would they be able to achieve intimacy and cooperation.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult to get them to open up their estrangement.
After Liu Hong finished speaking, Sun Tao was silent for a moment and said, "Don't worry, CEO Liu. I will get the cooperation from Shancheng and Sichuan. However, we do not have many resources in Sichuan. Although we have decided to enter Sichuan, we have not set up many stores because of the lack of funds. Carrefour does have a few stores there, but the coverage is not big. "
"That's okay. We still have the shopping mall. It will be fine as long as it can provide some convenience."
The two of them exchanged a few words and settled the matter.
Liu Hong did not come here only to talk about this matter. He continued. "Another thing is the Olympic Games broadcast. Everyone is paying attention to the Olympics now.
Sohu has been preparing for it for a long time, and their website has been promoting it non-stop.
Also, I heard that Sohu has put in a lot of effort to invite a group of previous champions and this year's contestants to be guests of Sohu.
Once this year's contestants win the championship and have an interview, Sohu will have a greater advantage.
What I'm thinking is, should we also spend some money and invite some active athletes to be guests of Distance Video?
Maybe we can bet on a few Olympic champions and do an exclusive interview. It will also increase our popularity. "
Li Dong said, "You decide. If you can invite them, do it. If you can't, forget it.
Sohu had obtained the broadcasting rights a few years ago and had been preparing for it.
The reason why we want to participate is to prevent others from watching it but not us, which will cause us to lose a large number of users.
It is not possible for us to gain an advantage in the Olympic Games broadcast.
We just need to ensure that the video is smooth. Also, during the Olympics, there should be fewer advertisements. Now is the time to attract more users.
If it were me, I would be unhappy if a bunch of advertisements popped up. "
Liu Hong was speechless. Boss, do you think we want to advertise?
Without advertisements, how can we earn money?
Video websites weren't making money now, especially at the initial stage. They had to spend a lot of money on it. Advertisements were considered a small source of income.
But since Li Dong said so, Liu Hong could not refute and nodded.
After discussing everything for a while, Li Dong waited for Yuan Chengdao's arrival and talked with him for a while. The afternoon was almost over.
…
At night, Li Dong went to Jinhu Garden.
Qin Yuhan did not want to go to the Provincial Party Committee Compound, and Li Dong did not force her to go.
Shen Qian lived next door, and it was not appropriate for them to meet each other every day.
When Li Dong entered, Qin Yuhan was on the phone.
Seeing Li Dong enter, Qin Yuhan smiled and covered the phone. "You make your own arrangements. I need to make a call."
Li Dong asked. "Who is it?"
"Fangfang."
Li Dong heard it was Qi Fangfang and immediately stopped prying. This woman was very difficult to deal with. It would be fine if it was not Yuan Xue or Shen Qian.
Although Li Dong did not come to Jinhu Garden often, he had people tidy up the place, and it was quite clean.
Also, Qin Yuhan had tidied up the place, so it was not a mess.
He sat on the sofa and turned on the TV for a while. Seeing that Qin Yuhan was still chatting, Li Dong was a little hungry. He walked to the table and picked up a few pieces of meat with his hands to taste.
Just as he put it in his mouth, Qin Yuhan appeared behind him. She was speechless. "Pay attention to your image. If word got out that the richest man picked vegetables with his hands, it would be a bad influence on the children."
Li Dong laughed. "It's not a bad influence. It's a personal habit. It depends on the parents and themselves. It has nothing to do with me."
"I can't be bothered to talk to you. Are you done with your work?"
"It's still early. I don't have much time to rest this year. It will be better next year."
As Li Dong spoke, Qin Yuhan brought him a bowl and chopsticks and opened a bottle of red wine.
Li Dong looked at it and said, "I don't know what you think when you open beer next time, but you all like it …"
At this point, Li Dong suddenly stopped and did not say another word.
He lowered his head and began to wolf down the food. Qin Yuhan rolled her eyes and ignored him.
The two sat opposite each other and began to eat.
After eating for a while, Qin Yuhan took the initiative to say, "I saw Yuan Xue this morning."
"Well, I see."
"Don't you want to hear what she said?"
"What did she say?"
Qin Yuhan said with a smile, "She asked me if I was interested in your money. How do you think I should answer?"
Li Dong's chopsticks paused. After a while, he said, "What did you say?"
Qin Yuhan said with a smile, "Of course I said yes. How can I deny it?"
Hearing that, Li Dong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether you have money or not. Anyway, I believe that money is not the main factor. That's enough. When I didn't have money, I tricked you with a lollipop. Now that I have money, it's fine as long as I have enough to spend. You don't have to keep talking about it. "
Qin Yuhan laughed. "It seems that I didn't provoke you. But you said you tricked me with a lollipop. Why didn't I see the lollipop?"
Li Dong raised his eyebrows. "You didn't see it? That's impossible. I carry the lollipop with me. Should I show it to you later? "
Qin Yuhan was stunned for a moment. Then she reacted. She blushed and said angrily, "Pervert!"
"Who's being perverted?"
Li Dong said with a smile, "I really brought it."
"Go to hell!"
"Really, I have it with me. Should I show it to you?"
"No!" Qin Yuhan said angrily, "We're eating. Don't be a rascal. Also, don't change the subject. I was about to talk to you about something else."
"I really brought it. Why don't you believe me?" Li Dong looked wronged and began to take something out of his pocket.
Qin Yuhan was about to scold him, but then she looked at the lollipop in Li Dong's hand in a daze.
It was a real lollipop!
Qin Yuhan's cheeks twitched. Why was this guy so bored?
He was obviously teasing her just now. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said it so ambiguously and ambiguously.
With a bright red face, Qin Yuhan angrily ate a few mouthfuls of rice and then snorted, "Childish. Why did you bring a lollipop when you go out?"
Li Dong chuckled mischievously. Seeing that she was about to eat him up, he smiled and said, "I prepared it for Little Shitou. Sometimes that lass would pester me to eat it, so I kept a few on me. It's also a way to quit smoking."
After saying that, Li Dong joked, "Are you thinking about something else? You're so dirty!"
Qin Yuhan rolled her eyes at him and didn't continue the topic.
After eating for a while, Qin Yuhan said, "I plan to go to Shanghai in two days."
"Go to Shanghai?"
Li Dong immediately frowned. Was she going to fight with Yuan Xue until the end?
Did these two people fight this morning?
Seeing that he was guessing with a frown, Qin Yuhan didn't say anything and stared at him with a smile.
When Li Dong came back to his senses and was about to say something, Qin Yuhan casually said, "The main reason I'm going to Shanghai is to investigate the market. This time, I can't be idle when I go back to Pingchuan. The business model of the dessert houses in the north is different from that in the south. In the south, Shanghai is the most developed, so I can see something. In addition, it's too fast to introduce new products. I'm going to Shanghai to see if there are any new products recently. I can also hire a few chefs. "
Li Dong was slightly relieved when he heard that. It was good that she wasn't going to fight.
However, he didn't expect that Qin Yuhan continued, "I'm going there. Do you think I should go to Yuan Xue's place to stay for a few days? After all, staying in a hotel is quite expensive."
"Ahem... that..."
Seeing that he was stuttering, Qin Yuhan sighed after a while and said, "I was just joking. You really took it seriously."
Li Dong smiled awkwardly, but he was thinking about how to find an opportunity to settle this matter.
