Li Dong casually said a few words, and then said: "Now that Lehman is bankrupt, you can find an excuse. Hurry up and make a big move on the new city. If we don't force Jia Wenhao to leave, we will be in trouble. He is not suitable to stay in Jiangbei anymore. If we slow down, he won't be able to leave. He can't leave. With his background, staying in Jiang Bei won't do us much good. "
Hsu Shengzhe thought for a while and sighed. "Fine. From tomorrow onwards, I will stop all operations. He can't blame me. Without a favorable policy, I won't do anything for the next few months. I can only say that Jia Wenhao is unlucky. "
Indeed. If it was another time, like last year, when Jia Wenhao presided over the opening of the new city, it would be a great achievement.
In 2007, the stock market and real estate market were on fire.
The new city is connected to four provinces and is considered a strategic location. Once it is opened, there will be a lot of people trying to get in.
But Jia Wenhao chose to open it at this time. The timing is too tight.
Jia Wenhao can't be blamed. He didn't expect things to get out of hand, and the sub-prime mortgage crisis will turn into a global financial crisis.
He wanted to speed up the development of the new city, and it's not appropriate to not open it.
In the end, Jia Wenhao won't be able to raise his head in the near future.
Hsu Shengzhe asked. "When will you make your move?"
"Two more days. We still have 1 billion in our account. Don't scare them."
"Fine. Let's leave it at that for now. I wonder when the domestic policy will be released. "
Li Dong laughed. "Everyone is anxious now. Soon, the government will need to calm the market. Maybe the new policy will be released tomorrow."
"I hope it will be beneficial for us."
Xu Shengzhe sighed. At this time, he was not the only one who was worried. Everyone was worried.
Of course, those small enterprises might not even know about this.
But when it comes to a multi-billion corporation, the impact of the new policy will be huge.
This is also the reason why Hsu Shengzhe has been keeping an eye on the international financial market.
…
That night, many people were talking about Lehman.
There were discussions in the Alumni Group, the Entrepreneur Club Group, and the Jiangbei Mutual Aid Group.
Li Dong took a few glances and didn't pay too much attention to it.
He was well aware of the impact of Lehman's bankruptcy.
It didn't affect him too much. Of course, his Dong Yu Real Estate would probably depreciate by a large margin. His wealth would probably shrink a little this year.
However, it didn't matter. Li Dong wasn't in a hurry to make a move.
Next year, when various policies were implemented and the financial market was stimulated, it would not be too late to act then.
…
On September 16th, major domestic media reported that Lehman had filed for bankruptcy protection.
The central bank's efficiency this time was astonishing!
On the morning of the 16th, the central bank announced the new policy.
The benchmark interest rate for RMB loans of financial institutions was lowered by 0.27% for one-year loans, from 7.47% to 7.20%. Other loan grades were adjusted accordingly.
In addition, the personal housing provident fund loan interest rate for those under five years was also lowered from 4.77% to 4.59%.
For those over five years, it was lowered from 5.22% to 5.13%.
As for the benchmark interest rate, it did not change.
However, such a policy wasn't enough to save the market.
Hua Xia's major stock markets ignored the good news and continued to fall.
The 6,000 points and above had become a thing of the past. Even the 3,000 points when Li Dong was delisted had become an extravagant hope. The stock market plummeted and fell below the 2,000 point mark.
The investors were in despair!
The investors were in despair. The real estate developers' faces were not looking good.
In the past, when the loan interest rate was lowered, the buyers could break the threshold.
But on the 16th, when the central bank announced the new policy, there were very few people responding. The internet was indifferent to this good news.
Even the lowering of the loan interest rate could not arouse the enthusiasm of the consumers. This showed how serious and terrifying the impact was.
For many small and medium-sized real estate companies, they were able to hold on from the beginning of the year until now. That was because they were hoping and longing for this round of debt crisis to pass as soon as possible.
As long as there was hope, they could hold on.
However, now, they realized that they were wrong!
They had misjudged the impact of the sub-prime mortgage crisis and the timing of the outbreak.
When you thought that the financial crisis had already broken out, reality told everyone that this was just the beginning. September 15th became a watershed.
Before September 15th, it could be called the sub-prime mortgage crisis.
However, at this moment, it had completely evolved into a global financial crisis.
The small and medium-sized real estate developers held on to their last hope, waiting for the consumers to come to their door, waiting for the effect of the policy to ferment.
This was the first day. They could wait.
No one knew how many people would walk to the rooftop and end this dramatic life if they waited any longer.
…
At the same time.
Li Dong was once again pushed to the heart of the struggle.
The moment he stepped out of the detention room, this happened. All of a sudden, Li Dong's Far Away City Plan had a big problem.
Someone on the internet lamented, "Li Dong has had a bad year this year. I'm afraid the Far Away City Plan is going to suffer a big loss."
Of course, there were also people who were glad for Li Dong's good luck. "At least he solved the problem yesterday. Far Away City's suppliers might change, but they wouldn't change their orders. Li Dong managed to minimize the impact. Otherwise, with the current situation, he would be in even more trouble. "
"That's true. I don't even know if he's lucky or unlucky."
"…"
The netizens were in a heated discussion. Li Dong did not care anymore.
He had long since expected this scene, so he was not too surprised.
At this time, Li Dong did not have the time to look at the news on the internet.
On the 16th, Hong Ji led his team to the Far Away City Building. Li Dong personally received them.
In the conference room.
After asking them to sit down, Li Dong went straight to the point. "Now that things have come to this, I will not beat around the bush.
The global financial crisis is about to break out. At this moment, everyone is in danger.
It is not good for us to bear the brunt of the crisis.
At this time, working together is the best way to deal with it.
Our days are tough, but it is not the worst yet. At least, the impact of the retail industry is not as big as the manufacturing industry, finance industry, and real estate industry.
On the contrary, because the manufacturing industry is having a hard time now, it requires us to go against the trend.
Foreign retail companies have always been our biggest problem.
In the past, it was difficult for us to touch them. Now, it is much easier. Their domestic market is suffering more, and they do not have the capital and determination to support the domestic market.
This is an opportunity!
It is time to redistribute the retail distribution in the East China market!
Bailian and Agriculture are working together, but they are also hesitating. It depends on whether Huarun Resources has the determination.
As long as you have the determination, we will go all out Far Away City.
It is not difficult for us to work together to wipe out the foreign capital and kick some small and medium-sized retailers out of the market. "
Hong Ji did not expect Li Dong to be so direct. He frowned and asked. "General Manager Li, is it really appropriate to start the war now? Once the war starts, it will cost a lot of funds, and we do not know how long the global financial crisis will last. Although the Central Bank had lowered the loan rates, they had also raised the entry requirements. If we use up all our funds now, we will be in danger. "
Li Dong stared at Hong Ji and said. "Has Huarun Resources always been so short-sighted?
Time and tide wait for no man. What are you waiting for?
If you are so hesitant, then don't even think about it!
What I want is a cooperative partner, not a so-called comrade who drags me down and cowers in fear!
When CEO Chen was at Huarun Resources, he was not so hesitant. Just tell me, are you willing or not?
I don't have time to waste with you. If you don't want to do it, then it doesn't matter if we talk about the cooperation or not. It's just a waste of time.
If not for CEO Chen, I would not be talking about Huarun Resources now, but Bailian.
At least Bailian still dares to attack at this time. You, on the other hand, only want to defend your territory. Just wait for your death! "
Hong Ji's face turned red. The rest of Huarun Resources were also furious.
Everyone stared at Li Dong and gritted their teeth, wishing they could eat him alive.
How can you talk about cooperation like this?
Even if it was a psychological method, to use it to this extent was too much!
Hong Ji forcibly suppressed his anger and looked at Chen Lang, who was sitting opposite him. "Chief Chen, is this also your idea?" he asked slowly.
Chen Lang laughed. "CEO Hong, Far Away City only has one idea."
Li Dong said disapprovingly, "Don't use petty tricks. My, Li Dong's, words are the iron law!
If you can't make the decision, then find someone who can make the decision to talk to me!
A cooperation has been discussed for more than a month. The efficiency of state-owned enterprises is really infuriating!
I'll give you three days. Can you succeed or not? Give me a definite answer.
After three days, whether you agree or not, we won't be able to talk anymore.
I don't want to waste time on pointless negotiations.
I have a lot of things to do now. Before the end of the year, we must take Yonghui and completely set up the East China market. Then, we will move to the South China market. At that time, if we don't cooperate, we will be enemies! "
Hong Ji's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed, "Mr. Li, are you serious?"
Far Away City's strategy, they knew.
First take the East China market, then enter Central and North China.
As for South China, because the competition was too strong, Far Away City had not re-entered the market except for the Carrefour business.
Hong Ji even knew that Far Away City had not decided on the South China strategy this year. Their targets were Hebei Province, Sichuan, Shancheng, and Xiangnan.
But now?
Li Dong suddenly said that he wanted to enter the South China market. What he meant was a large-scale entry.
Now, under the onslaught of the financial crisis, Li Dong had once again expanded the scale of his expansion. How arrogant!
Li Dong said calmly, "Of course it's true!
To tell you the truth, Far Away did not have the intention to enter South China on a large scale.
However, someone did a good deed and extended the payment period to three months.
With tens of billions of development funds, should we just leave it there to eat interest?
Also, Far Away has decided to borrow another 10 billion. With more than 20 billion, even if we only use half of it, it will not be a problem to take over the entire South China market.
If Huarun China does not cooperate, then we will fight!
CEO Hong, I have said this much. Leave the decision to Huarun China. I will wait for your news. "
After saying this, Li Dong got up and was about to leave.
Hong Ji looked helpless. Was this a negotiation?
No, this was a threat!
If they did not cooperate, then they would be enemies!
Far Away City wanted to enter the South China market, and Huarun China's headquarters was in South China. Once Far Away City entered the market, and Huarun China did not express its stance, there was a high possibility of war.
After all, Li Dong preferred to swallow everything in one go.
Get rid of the small and medium-sized retailers and seize the market.
Seize the market of Huarun China. Once they won, they would be the local industry leader.
Hong Ji gritted his teeth and shouted, "General Manager Li, wait!"
Li Dong turned around and sat down again. "What do you say, CEO Hong?"
"We can cooperate, but how? Far Away City wants to enter the South China market. How will we get along with Huarun China? How will we unify the outside world? What do we need to pay, and what do you need to pay? Once things are clear, it will benefit both companies. We have no need to object. Also … "
Hong Ji sighed helplessly and said, "General Manager Li, can you not do this next time? To be honest, we are not fighting. What you did was ungentlemanly. "
Li Dong said indifferently, "Elegance and whatnot can't be eaten. I've had enough of your efficiency.
If you want to cooperate with me, Li Dong, then you have to speed up. Don't try to imitate the style of your state-owned enterprises.
Opportunities do not come by often!
As for your question, let me briefly explain.
Since Huarun China is willing to cooperate, then our target to enter the South China market is not you.
In South China, Huarun China is not the only company.
Shinyijia, Trust-Mart, Wal-Mart, and RT-Mart are not weak in the coastal areas. Our target is their market.
As long as Huarun China does not create trouble for us in South China, we will not target them.
Our main battlefield is still in East China.
In East China, we will put aside the Shanghai market. Bailian and the Agriculture, Industry and Commerce are strong.
Our target is to clean up the battlefield and eliminate the weak.
Wal-Mart, Tesco, Metro, RT-Mart, these foreign companies are not strong in East China. Getting rid of them is the first point.
Secondly, get rid of the local tyrants.
There is no need to talk about Sunan and Jiangbei. Far away City.
In Gan Province, after you acquire Hongkelong, we will split the world.
Six provinces and one city in East China. We will ignore the Shanghai market for the time being. That leaves Lu Province, Zhejiang Province, and Minnan Province.
Yintai in Zhejiang Province, Jiayue and Ginza in Lu Province, and Yonghui in Minnan Province. The pressure is not too big.
As long as we are successful, we will own half of Hua Xia's retail industry! "
Li Dong made it sound simple, but Hong Ji said calmly: "General Manager Li, it will not be so easy. It will be difficult to deal with so many companies at the same time! If we can't take them down, we will have to face the retaliation anytime. I cannot make this decision. "
"You can talk to Huarun China's top management. If necessary, pull in Bailian and the Agriculture, Industry and Commerce.
In the short term, our target is the same.
Cleaning up these companies will be beneficial for everyone.
In the past, we can't work together and fight on our own. Far away is not enough!
Now, we have Far away City. Far away City is at the forefront. If you don't have the guts to do this, then just take what I said today as a waste of time.
If you don't even have the guts to do this, how can you do business?
No wonder after so many years, you are still half-dead. In the blink of an eye, you have been surpassed by Far away City. "
Don't hit people in the face. Now, Li Dong's face was slapped so hard that Hong Ji wanted to curse.
Damn you!
If you are so powerful, why don't you do it yourself? Why do you want to cooperate with us?
But Hong Ji could not say this. If he said this, this lunatic might even exclude Huarun China and join forces with Bailian to get rid of Huarun China.
Li Dong was right about one thing. In the past, they could not work together. That was because they had too many considerations and schemes.
Now that Li Dong was willing to be the vanguard, how could Bailian and the Agriculture, Industry and Commerce reject such a good offer?
In Hong Ji's view, the possibility of rejection was very small.
Even if Bailian's previous target was Far away City, as long as there were benefits, so what if they changed opponents?
Hong Ji calmed down a little and sighed. "What about the specific cooperation model?"
"Huarun China supports our online and offline model. All Huarun China stores will support the unified distribution of goods Far away City. Far away and Huarun China will integrate the prices and connect the membership system. Of course, this is only limited to East China. Storage centers and distribution centers can adopt the principle of proximity, unified distribution arrangements, reduce costs, and reduce expenses. The supply system will also adopt the principle of proximity … "
Before Li Dong finished, Hong Ji's face turned red. "General Manager Li, if you want to use Huarun China as a transit station, you must be joking! Huarun China has nearly 3,000 stores, and more than half of them in East China, more than 1,500 stores! Now you want Huarun China to be a transit station for Far away City's freight. Is this your sincerity for cooperation? This is not cooperation at all. This is robbery. Huarun China is not that stupid. General Manager Li, if this is the case, I think we really don't need to talk anymore. "
Li Dong raised his eyebrows. "This is also the best way to attack the other retail groups. Of course, I know it is difficult for you to accept. But since this is a cooperation, I will not only take from you. I can promise you that I will give you half of the market. If you have the ability, you can take over all of it. I have no objections. What do you think? "
Hong Ji was tempted, but he quickly shook his head. "General Manager Li, don't talk to me about these impossible things at this time. First, Huarun China cannot take over all of it. Second, even if you give us half of the market, in fact, Far away City's O2O has already taken over half of the market. Once we regain our footing, our throats will be choked by you. "
Li Dong said angrily. "Don't give me that. Without your cooperation, how can I choke you?
If you want benefits, just say it. In fact, your benefits will only be greater than ours.
You can't just think about profits. To put it bluntly, your warehouses and logistics are nothing. The last two conditions are to compensate you.
I admit that this is good for us to open up the O2O market. But after we terminate the cooperation, without the support of the stores, everything will be useless.
This is the general direction. If you can agree, then agree. If you can't, then just disband.
Also, the premise of the cooperation is that you have to help us punish all the merchants who violate the contract.
That's it for now. General Manager Chen, you and CEO Hong discuss the general direction. I still have something to do. Look for me when you are done. "
After saying this, Li Dong turned around and left. This time, he did not drag things out.
Hong Ji wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, he looked at Chen Lang and smiled bitterly. A boss like Li Dong would be kicked to a nursing home in three days if he was in Huarun China!
