As soon as the Distance Meeting ended, the details of the meeting were spread.
After all, it was a conference attended by thousands of people. It was easy to find out what was going on.
Many people were paying attention to Li Dong's conference.
Everyone thought that Li Dong would make some promises or announce some good news to appease the major suppliers.
However, the truth was out of everyone's expectations.
Li Dong did not appease them at all. Instead, he was as aggressive as ever. In fact, he was even more aggressive than before.
The new contract was stricter than before. Even so, Far Away still retained 90% of their supply channels.
Everyone who received the news could not help but curse in their hearts.
These manufacturers were indeed despicable!
'I'm being nice to you, yet you're not happy about it? Now, I want to see if you guys can turn against me and see if you can suppress Li Dong.'
In the end, Li Dong gained an even greater advantage with just a few words.
Far Away had to be sneaky in the past when they used the payment.
Now that Li Dong had said it to his face, even if he wanted to use the money, it was impossible for him not to.
However, the more this was the case, the more the manufacturers fell for it.
Far Away's financial statements and the proof of funds provided by the bank strengthened everyone's confidence.
Far Away still had more than 20 billion left after such a crazy expansion. What was there to worry about?
They were all businessmen. Who didn't understand the concept of more than 20 billion in liquidity?
Among the 100 billion dollar groups, there were almost none with a debt ratio lower than Far Away. There were also almost none with more on their books than Far Away.
It could be said that among the 100 billion dollar groups, the risk of working with Far Away was the lowest.
Previously, everyone was anxious. On one hand, it was because of Li Dong's uncertain future. On the other hand, it was because of the nervous atmosphere caused by the small and medium-sized manufacturers.
Now that Li Dong had come out, nearly 200 manufacturers were kicked out of the game. The manufacturers settled down internally and the external tension gradually eased.
Because of this, Distance's supply chain channel was stabilized.
For retail companies, the supply chain channel was the most important. It took five years to stabilize the channel. This speed was not too slow compared to Far Away's scale.
…
At the hotel.
The atmosphere in the room was a little strange.
After a long while, Sun Yuehua sighed and said, "It's too fast. I thought that he might be able to suppress this matter.
He just didn't expect it to be so fast and decisive.
He didn't expect those manufacturers to be so useless.
If they really joined forces to oppress Li Dong Far away, they would definitely be able to obtain more favorable policies.
But now, their hearts were not united, and they were taken care of by Li Dong in a few moves.
Nearly 200 companies were kicked out of the competition, but they were not shaken at all. Don't they understand that the fox mourns the death of the rabbit?
These people deserve to be exploited by the channel merchants! "
Sun Yuehua had an exasperated look on her face. Of course, her words were half true and half false, but they weren't completely false either.
The manufacturers' lack of unity was the main reason why they had always been in a weak position.
As a manufacturing enterprise, it was the cornerstone of every industry in society. However, in the overall market environment, its position had never been high.
Distributors exploit them, distributors exploit them, and even material suppliers exploit them.
It could be said that in the entire production and sales process, the status of the manufacturers was the lowest.
Of course, this was not the case for the whole industry. Some manufacturers had a high brand awareness, a large enterprise scale, and their own sales channels. These companies could be more powerful.
But in the entire manufacturing industry, there were not many companies that had this ability.
When Sun Yuehua's words fell, Han Yu rejoiced a little and said, "Fortunately, we have already signed the contract. It's just that Li Dong isn't around these two days. Otherwise, our plan would have failed at the last step. I didn't expect those manufacturers to be so useless. They kicked 200 manufacturers away just like that, and no one stood up to say anything. "
Zhuang Fan, who was spacing out at the side, raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. After a while, he smiled faintly and said, "That's normal.
It's not easy for thousands of companies to be united.
You have your thoughts, and I have mine. Human nature is selfish.
Some people can't wait for Li Dong to kick some people away so that they can get more orders.
In this day and age, not many people would stand up for others and harm their own interests.
Everyone thinks that they are the smartest and think that others are the stupidest. With so many smart people, it naturally led to the current situation.
As for what Auntie Sun said about the manufacturers being weak, this is also inevitable.
After all, the products have to be sold to earn money.
There are only so many distributors in the country. There will not be any big changes in who occupies which region.
Manufacturing companies are different. They can close today and start tomorrow. Unless the brand is famous, what right do they have to negotiate with the distributors?
Of course, this has nothing to do with us. Our mission this time is considered completed.
Think of a way to transfer the money to Far away tomorrow, and the contract will be official.
Wait for half a year, and we will sell it immediately. Let's earn as much as we can. "
Although he said this, Zhuang Fan felt uneasy.
He looked at the indignant Sun Yuehua and thought for a while. "Auntie Sun, what should we do with Tengxiang next?" "Nothing.
What else can we do? "Sun Yuehua replied perfunctorily.
Zhuang Fan raised his brows and paused for a while. "Auntie Sun, you should know about the news. Li Dong is going to cooperate with Huarun Resources to check and balance the companies that breached the contract. As the largest supplier in North China, it is also the largest company that breached the contract. I think Tengxiang will be the first to be attacked. Far away will be the first to bear the brunt. Auntie Sun, are you not worried at all? "
Sun Yuehua replied calmly. "Not everyone can control Tengxiang. Furthermore, our manufacturing scale is not big, and our main business is foreign trade.
There are many subsidies and support for foreign trade in China.
Even if we lose Far away's business, we can still live well.
Furthermore, Far away is not the only company in North China. Even if Huarun Resources cooperates with them to suppress the SMEs, they will not dare to touch Tengxiang.
What is there for me to worry about? It is just a pity that we will be making less money in the future.
"I thought it would be difficult for Faraway Supermarket to get through this. I didn't expect it to be so easy."
No one said anything else after Sun Yuehua said that.
They were silent for a while. Old Lu sighed. "It is a pity that Li Dong went in too early this time. There is a time difference. Otherwise, they would have waited until the second half of this month. If Li Dong went in at that time, it would be perfect. "
This was what they regretted the most this time. Li Dong had entered the provincial hall too quickly and too early.
Far away still had money in their accounts. At first, they were not sure about it.
But when they knew that it was the next payment, they were relieved.
At first, when they knew that Far away had so much money, they were worried. But when they knew that it was due soon, they were not too worried.
According to the previous plan, the date of Li Dong's accident should be set in a few days.
Once the payment was settled, Far away would really be out of money.
But Li Dong's accident happened a few days earlier, forcing them to act immediately.
Otherwise, the plan this time would not have been so rushed. Far away would have been even more urgent, and the contract would not have ended up like this. Although they had eaten meat, they felt that it was not a satisfying meal.
Old Lu sighed. Sun Yuehua could not help but smile. "How can everything in the world go as one wishes? It is not bad to be able to do this. If it was any later and Li Dong came out a step earlier, we would not even be able to sign the contract now. "
Old Lu nodded. "That is true. It is all thanks to CEO Shen's help."
Shen Xuehua, who was in a daze, looked at everyone and put down her wine glass. She stood up and said, "Don't thank me. It is just a cooperation. Since it is over, I will leave first. I will return to Beijing tomorrow. I will transfer the remaining 200 million to the account tomorrow. You can do as you wish. If the money is not transferred tomorrow and the contract cannot be established, don't look for me to pay the penalty fee. "
After saying that, Shen Xuehua left immediately.
Seeing her leave so decisively, everyone's faces turned ugly.
Until the sound of high heels disappeared outside the door, Han Yu said hatefully, "This woman is really …"
Sun Yuehua glanced at the others from the corner of her eyes. A faint smile appeared on her face. Then she stood up and said, "Then let's disperse. There is not much to see from now on. Everyone, do what you need to do. We will meet again in half a year's time. "
Han Yu hurriedly said, "What about the project team stationed in Far away?"
Sun Yuehua said lazily, "I will not interfere in this matter. You guys think of a way. Zhuang Fan does not lack manpower. Just send a few people over. I can't say much about Li Dong, but I can still trust him on this point. He will not be greedy for our money. "
"In any case, it is still 1 billion. We cannot hope that Li Dong will not be greedy …" As Han Yu said that, she looked at Zhuang Fan and said, "Director Zhuang, I will have to trouble you here."
Zhuang Fan smiled and said, "No problem. As long as you pay me, I will work wherever I go. I will settle it."
As soon as this was said, Han Yu was a little dissatisfied.
It was just borrowing a few people. For half a year, Zhuang Fan was still so calculative. He even mentioned asking for a salary.
It was not that she cared about the money. This time, Zhuang Fan did not contribute much except for the money.
At this time, shouldn't he contribute a little?
Han Yu made up her mind. The next time she had a chance, she would never work with these people again.
The few people she worked with this time were not very satisfactory to Han Yu.
Sun Yuehua, Shen Xuehua, Zhuang Fan, these people were all businessmen. Businessmen were too calculative. They had to care about everything.
This time, if it was Han Yu who took the lead and joined forces with other people in the circle, she would not be so calculative. She would not let it go until now.
Zhuang Fan and the others were more afraid of using administrative means. They wanted to use commercial means to make money.
If it was Han Yu, she would not take the initiative to use administrative means. In fact, she was also afraid.
But in the circle, there were many people who did things by hook or by crook.
If she really instigated them, there would definitely be people who would be willing to take the lead.
Now, there were too many smart people. Everyone was afraid. Even if she wanted to instigate them, she could not find a target.
Chen Rui wanted to use such means, but he was too weak. Even if he used such means, he could not find a suitable target.
In the end, they kept pushing each other, and even Li Dong went in. Everyone could only watch helplessly, and no one moved.
If they worked with others, they would probably use all kinds of means.
They did not dare to do anything to Li Dong. If they really wanted to find trouble, it would be easy to lock him up for ten days to half a month.
Although she was unhappy, what else could she do now?
If she really said too much, she would offend people.
Han Yu did not say anything. Sun Yuehua said that they were dismissed. She stood up and left.
Zhuang Fan stood up as well. He ignored Han Yu and caught up with Sun Yuehua in a few steps. With a face full of smiles, he said, "Auntie Sun, Tengxiang has suffered a huge loss this time. After we get the money, I will suggest to everyone that we can give Tengxiang more subsidies."
Sun Yuehua smiled faintly. "No need. This is a different matter. I will only take what is mine. If not, it will burn my hands."
Zhuang Fan said calmly, "Auntie Sun, have you considered continuing to work with Far away?
Although this time, Li Dong made up his mind to punish those companies who broke the contract, Tengxiang was the largest and an important supplier in China.
Although Li Dong did not lack channels for Far away, it was only limited to the country.
Tengxiang's most important capital was actually overseas channels.
In this day and age, foreign products sold well and made a lot of money. No one can deny this.
Far away might not be able to open up overseas channels for a while. If Tengxiang is willing to continue to work with us, I don't think Li Dong will reject it.
This way, Auntie Sun will suffer less losses. "
"We'll see. After all, if we go back and forth too quickly, it will damage Tengxiang's reputation."
Sun Yuehua did not deny it directly. Zhuang Fan's expression changed.
The two chatted for a while until Sun Yuehua left. Zhuang Fan murmured, "Did I really walk into a trap?"
After thinking carefully for a while, Zhuang Fan shook his head. Forget it, he could not be bothered to think about it.
Whether he was tricked or not, he did not invest too much this time. Like Sun Yuehua, he invested 500 million yuan.
Even if he was tricked, he would not lose a single cent.
He could accept some losses.
He was different from Han Yu and the rest. Han Yu and the rest were here to earn money. Most of the money they invested was not their own.
He, or rather, Sun Yuehua and the rest were here for business.
Sometimes, business and making money were not the same concept.
There were profits and losses in business. There was a high probability of making a profit or a loss. Therefore, he could accept any accidents. The banker could also bear such losses.
When one was young, suffering a setback might be beneficial for one's future growth.
Especially this time, it was not a loss to compete with business tycoons like Li Dong and Sun Yuehua. Spending money to buy a lesson was not necessarily a loss.
Moreover, Zhuang Fan also wanted to see what kind of method Li Dong would use to scheme against them.
He was the one who signed the contract. He knew there were some loopholes in it.
But for the time being, Zhuang Fan could not think of how Li Dong could take them down.
After thinking for a while, Zhuang Fan made up his mind to go back and read the contract again. He would also look at some business cases to analyze.
If he was going to suffer a loss, he had to know how he was going to suffer a loss.
After thinking for a while, he looked back at Han Yu and Chen Rui, who were whispering not far away. Zhuang Fan showed a mocking expression.
…
Just when Zhuang Fan was having doubts.
At the same time.
The Provincial Party Committee Courtyard.
Hsu Shengzhe had snuck into Li Dong's home. He was sitting on the sofa and drinking tea.
He also teased Little Shitou from time to time.
Seeing Li Dong enter the door, Hsu Shengzhe smiled and said, "The effect is good."
"When did you get here?"
Li Dong did not answer. While changing his shoes, he asked, "Why did you come to me so late at night instead of sleeping?"
"Of course I have something to do. Otherwise, do you think I wanted to come?"
Hsu Shengzhe replied and then said seriously, "Something big happened during your meeting this afternoon. You probably didn't receive the news."
Li Dong said indifferently, "Are you talking about Lehman's application for bankruptcy protection?"
"Damn, you know about it?"
Hsu Shengzhe exclaimed in surprise and immediately said, "You pay so much attention to foreign affairs now?"
Li Dong said impatiently, "It's been six or seven hours. How can I not know? Do you think I'm like you, who only knows how to nurse children? A few days ago, when the US government gave up on the rescue, I knew it was going to happen soon. Of course, it was really fast. I'm afraid the five major investment banks are finished this time. But this matter has nothing to do with you, right? "
"What do you mean it has nothing to do with me?"
Hsu Shengzhe shook his head and said, "Lehman's debt is more than 600 billion USD. Due to the sub-prime mortgage crisis, the European economy is already in a slump.
Now, Lehman has gone bankrupt. Trillions of capital, even tens of trillions, have evaporated.
Next, it will definitely cause financial turmoil.
The central banks of various countries have tried to appease the financial market, but the effect is not satisfactory.
Today, Lehman has just announced bankruptcy protection, and the stock markets around the world that are still open have plummeted.
In March this year, Morgan Stanley's chief economist, Stephen Roche, participated in a talk show and said that this is not a sub-prime mortgage crisis, but a global financial crisis!
Unfortunately, no one cared at that time.
From CCTV's attitude, it can be seen that China is not fully prepared for this. Although the sub-prime mortgage crisis has affected China, everyone simply treated it as a sub-prime mortgage crisis.
Now that Lehman has gone bankrupt, I'm afraid the sub-prime mortgage crisis will evolve into a global financial crisis.
How the country responds next will have a great impact on us.
Forget about the small and medium-sized enterprises. The national policy will have a great impact on us.
I'm a little panicky right now. I don't know what the policy will be, good or bad.
Last year, you predicted that the sub-prime mortgage crisis will evolve into a global financial crisis. Li Dong, what do you think this time? "
Li Dong shook his head and said, "I don't have any opinion. You and I can see it, and the government isn't stupid. Even if they didn't prepare for it, they have already started to regulate the market in the second half of the year. As for the policy, it shouldn't be disadvantageous to us. At this time, the government is still trying to save the market, so they won't come up with some unsuitable policy to trap us. If that happens, the impact will be too great. "
Hsu Shengzhe was deeply worried and sighed, "It's hard to say, especially in the real estate market. I really don't have any confidence right now. I thought that the financial crisis has already broken out, but I never expected that this is just the beginning. "
Seeing this, Li Dong shook his head and said, "If it's a blessing, it won't be a disaster. If it's a disaster, we can't avoid it. Let's just wait."
