September 17th.
Far Away Building.
Hong Ji, on behalf of Huarun Group, had reached a preliminary strategic agreement with Far Away.
The preliminary agreement meant that Huarun Group had agreed to cooperate.
As for the specific details, it would still take some time for them to work out.
Even so, Li Dong was in high spirits. When he shook hands with Hong Ji, Li Dong was full of anticipation. "I hope we can work well together!"
Hong Ji's mood was very complicated.
Cooperating with Far Away was like asking a tiger for its skin.
But Huarun Group had no choice but to cooperate.
If they did not cooperate, they would be enemies. Huarun Group might not be a match for Far Away. This was not because of their strength, but because of their determination.
Without the determination to fight to the death, how could they resist Far Away's attack?
The two shook hands, and his men put away the strategic memorandum.
Then, Li Dong said, "Manager Hong, do you mind going out to talk to the reporters?"
Hong Ji frowned and hesitated. "General Manager Li, are you going to announce it so soon?"
"Yes, of course. There is no need to disclose the details.
But we can't hide it from others.
Rather than that, it is better to say it openly and let them suspect and be afraid.
We need time to cooperate, and we also need time to get through the system.
The time they have to be suspicious is enough for us to complete the plan.
By the end of the year, we will have almost completed the premise of the cooperation. We will take advantage of the last wave of attacks at the end of the year to lay the foundation for Huarun Group and Huarun Group. "
Hong Ji smiled bitterly. Huarun Group might not be able to take down Huarun Group.
But if Far Away succeeded, they would have a solid foundation for Huarun Group.
Hong Ji did not know whether this was good or bad. He sighed in his heart and nodded. "Okay, General Manager Li, please go first."
"You are welcome. Let's go together."
Li Dong and Hong Ji walked side by side, and Hong Ji subconsciously took half a step back.
He represented Huarun Group, and he was no weaker than Far Away Group.
But at this moment, Hong Ji was not in the mood to compete with Li Dong. This man was more terrifying than he had expected.
Outsiders only knew that Li Dong was ruthless in his handling of matters. How could they understand that his favorite way of doing things was to strike at people's weak spots, making them unable to exert their strength?
Hong Ji did not expect the negotiations to end so quickly.
In his opinion, a month or so was normal.
However, the moment Li Dong met Huarun, he played his trump card, which was stuck in the throat of Huarun.
If you agree, you'll be weaker.
If they didn't agree, then they would have to guard against the joint attack of other supermarkets Far Away.
In short, Hong Ji was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Li Dong's offer was also very tempting. If you rejected it, you would be reluctant. If you didn't reject it, you would be worried.
Last night, he communicated with the senior management of Huarun Real Estate for a whole night. Finally, the senior management held a meeting overnight and agreed to Far away's proposal.
Hong Ji could not help but admire Li Dong's ability to grasp the vital points every single time.
…
Far away from the building.
There were many reporters. Early in the morning, news leaked out. Far away, something big had happened.
The CEO of Huarun Vanguard also led a team to Far away, which made the reporters curious.
It was not until Li Dong and Hong Ji appeared at the same time that the reporters gathered around them.
Li Dong did not wait for the reporters to speak. He pressed his hands together and said. "Everyone, I have a few things to announce, and I need all of you to be my witnesses."
Someone immediately said. "General Manager Li, just say it! Is it about the cooperation with Huarun Real Estate? Someone had mentioned in the supplier meeting that you will cooperate with Huarun Real Estate to ban the defaulters. Is it related to this matter? "
Li Dong smiled and said, "Smart!"
"Of course, it's not just this matter. Listen carefully, and if you don't understand anything, you can ask me later."
"First, Faraway Supermarket and Huarun Real Estate will sign a strategic memorandum.
Next, we will reach a comprehensive cooperation agreement in East China.
There are a few main points. First, we will open up the membership system. Far away members and Huarun Real Estate members can use our backend and enjoy the same benefits.
Second, we will integrate the pricing system!
In East China, Huarun Real Estate and Far away will use the same pricing system.
We will use whichever company's pricing system is lower. If you buy the same product from Far away and Huarun Real Estate, and Far away's price is higher, you can come back to us, and we will compensate you for the difference.
Also, we will give you a bonus to thank you for helping us find the loopholes.
Third, Far away will open up the online and offline systems.
In the past, Far away does not have many stores, and we cannot cover all of East China.
Now, we will cooperate with Huarun Real Estate, and Huarun Real Estate's stores will be Far away!
In the future, you can collect your products from all the supermarkets, including Huarun Real Estate and Far away's stores in East China.
Of course, this isn't something that can be done overnight, so we can't go online for now. We'll try to go online in 2009.
Fourth … "
Before Li Dong could finish his words, the crowd was in an uproar.
Huarun Real Estate and Far away will cooperate fully!
They had ignored the East China region and the fact that they could not go online temporarily. They had ignored all the news.
The only thing that made them remember was that Far away and Huarun Real Estate had really cooperated!
Now, among Far away, Bailian, and Huarun Real Estate, there was no clear statement on who was first and who was second.
But these three companies were undoubtedly the top three department stores.
At this moment, two of the top three companies had cooperated, and it was a comprehensive cooperation. It was more sensational than the cooperation between Bailian and Agriculture, Industry and Commerce a few days ago.
Bailian and Agriculture, Industry and Commerce, Industry and Commerce only had a shallow cooperation. How could it be like Huarun Real Estate and Far away? Even the pricing and membership system were open.
This was not a small matter!
This meant that the back-end data of both parties was almost fully open to each other. This was a big deal.
Perhaps, this was a precursor.
The final result was either Far away acquired Huarun Real Estate, or Huarun Real Estate swallowed Far Away.
Otherwise, both parties would have to cooperate for a long time. In a short time, this kind of large-scale cooperation was not worthwhile.
The reporters were excited. After Li Dong finished speaking, someone asked excitedly. "General Manager Li, does this mean that both parties will become one family in the future?"
Li Dong glanced at Hong Ji and smiled. "I cannot rule out this possibility."
Hong Ji's face changed slightly, and he looked at Li Dong.
Li Dong lowered his voice and said. "I'm just trying to scare Bailian and the rest."
"Haha …"
Hong Ji grinned wryly. You're just trying to scare them? I think you're really planning to do that!
Of course, he was not surprised at all.
Li Dong had never hidden his wild ambition.
But Hong Ji was also confident. Huarun Real Estate's retail business might be slightly weaker than Bailian, but not by much.
Together with Huarun Real Estate Group's business, Huarun Real Estate was also a giant company worth hundreds of billions.
Far Away wanted to take over Huarun Real Estate, but that would depend on whether the headquarters agreed or not.
They were not Bailian. Far Away might take over Bailian, but the possibility of taking over Huarun Real Estate was not high.
Hong Ji was confident, but the reporters did not care.
Hearing this, he immediately became excited and continued, "Director Li, is your next target the Hundred Alliance? Or is your target bigger, and you are going to take over Hua Xia's retail business? "
Li Dong smiled. "You have overestimated me. We are only cooperating now, and we are not targeting anyone.
Of course, if someone thinks so, I can't do anything about it.
I don't provoke others, but if someone provokes me, I will retaliate. Then, don't blame me.
In short, in the future, no, now, Far Away and Huarun Real Estate, we will be Hua Xia's number one retail alliance!
Our aim is not to target or attack anyone, but for the better development of Hua Xia's retail industry!
Hua Xia's retail industry has always been looked down upon and ignored.
As a national enterprise of Hua Xia, Far Away and Huarun Real Estate cannot afford to be looked down upon!
Our cooperation, and the possible cooperation with other enterprises in the future, is to tell everyone and the world that Hua Xia's retail industry is not weaker than anyone else!
When it comes to wars, we do not participate.
When it comes to advanced technology, we cannot surpass it.
But when it comes to retail, our ancestors opened the market, and thousands of countries come to China. Since when is it the turn of foreign capital to run amok!
In the next three to five years, Far Away and Huarun Real Estate will enter the Asian retail market, and even the global retail market!
Everyone, please wait and see! "
Clap! Clap! Clap!
The reporters applauded. No matter when, even if Dong Xuebing was bragging, such words that could raise the prestige of the country would make everyone's blood boil.
Even if Far Away failed in the future and failed in the global retail industry, it would not affect their admiration and admiration for Far Away.
Just because Li Dong dared to say such words, he deserved the applause.
At this moment, Hong Ji's face turned green.
Far Away was fine, but why did he bring Huarun Real Estate along?
If Huarun Real Estate did not enter the global market in the next three to five years, it would be a joke to the world.
Hong Ji could not help but tug on Li Dong's sleeve.
Li Dong turned around, confused. "What's wrong?"
Hong Ji's face was solemn, and he said in a low voice, "General Manager Li, watch your words."
Li Dong understood. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Huarun Real Estate's business in Hong Kong has been doing very well, and it is not a lie to say that it will enter the Asian market. As for entering the global retail market, it is only a matter of time. Are you not confident, General Manager Hong? "
"This is not a question of confidence …"
"General Manager Hong, I am answering a reporter's question. Are you sure you want to say it?"
Hong Ji was a little angry. He frowned and said, "General Manager Li, some jokes should not be made so casually."
"I understand. Let's not talk about Huarun Real Estate. In fact, I tried to raise your prestige, but you do not know how to be grateful. Forget it, I will talk about myself."
Li Dong looked indifferent and turned to continue talking to the reporters.
Hong Ji's face was full of helplessness. He looked at the smiling Chen Lang and exhaled. "General Manager Chen, General Manager Li is really …"
Chen Lang smiled faintly and said, "I think he is very good. Without ambition, how could Far Away achieve what it is now? The overlord of East China, the number one in the country! Far Away's future belongs to Far Away! Far Away's supermarkets are all over the world. Far Away's boutique supermarkets have become synonymous with high-end. Far Away, listen to our name. Our goal is Far Away, a direction that has no end! "
"Crazy!"
Hong Ji cursed in his heart. A bunch of lunatics!
Chen Lang was not so crazy in the past, but now he had been led crazy by Li Dong.
Just as he was cursing in his heart, a sudden exclamation came from the side, and he immediately came back to his senses.
…
"General Manager Li, what did you just say?"
Li Dong said proudly, "That's right. Next, Far Away and Longhua will enter into a comprehensive cooperation. Far Away will be stationed in all the shopping malls in Longhua! In addition, Longhua will cooperate with Far Away to build new shopping malls and supermarkets for Far Away! "
"This … Really?!"
The reporters were stunned. Not only had they entered into a comprehensive cooperation with Huarun Real Estate, but now they had also entered into a comprehensive cooperation with Longhua.
Who would have thought that Li Dong would say, "Not only Longhua, but we will also enter into a corresponding regional cooperation with Longhu Group. In the future, wherever there is a Longhu Sky Street, there will be a high probability that Far Away will be the largest shopping mall in Sky Street! "
"You can even reach this agreement?"
"Longhu is also willing to cooperate with us. Together with Longhua and Far Away's own shopping malls, this … they are going to enter the whole country!"
"…"
The reporters began to discuss among themselves. For a moment, no one had the time to ask questions.
They didn't ask, but Li Dong smiled and said, "Everyone, I haven't finished yet, and you're already daydreaming?"
"There's more?"
The reporter who spoke was a little embarrassed. He had always complained about having too little information, not too much.
Li Dong smiled and said, "Of course there's more.
Since we have decided to build Hua Xia's largest, and even aim to become the world's retail supermarket, we can't just have this much information.
Far Away's Far Away City Plan is no stranger to all of you.
Last month, we planned to build 10 Far Away Cities.
The land has been bought, and the start date has been set.
But can a mere 10 Yuanfang Cities satisfy our plan?
No!
Far Away's board of directors has decided to add 10 Far Away Cities in the second half of the year, with a planned investment of 50 billion.
Together with the previous 10, the total investment is 100 billion, and we will build 100 billion Far Away Cities! "
"Boom!"
The situation was completely out of control, and the reporters began to ask questions.
Someone shouted, "General Manager Li, after Lehman's collapse, companies all over the world are reducing their expansion plans to prevent the impact of the financial crisis! Many of the world's top 500 companies are starting to be unable to make ends meet, and are preparing to shut down some of their businesses! Hua Xia's financial experts and economists are even predicting that a bigger round of real estate winter is coming! Far Away is still investing like crazy. General Manager Li, to put it bluntly, where do you get your confidence from? "
Although there were many voices, Li Dong still heard what he said.
Looking at the reporter who asked, Li Dong laughed and said, "You ask me where do I get my confidence from? I am only 23 years old now, and I have built a 100 billion company in five years! I have an indomitable faith, and at the same time, I have the determination to make a comeback! If I fail this time, I, Li Dong, will start all over again! "
The crowd was shocked!
Was this Li Dong's declaration?
Was this the reason for his crazy expansion and fearlessness?
Yes, he was only 23 years old, and he could start all over again!
The applause was thunderous, not for his crazy expansion, but for Li Dong, for his determination to go all out and challenge everything.
The reporters applauded, and the people Far Away felt their blood boiling.
This was their boss, a 23-year-old boss!
In five years, he built a 100 billion empire, controlled 200,000 employees, and businesses all over Hua Xia.
At this moment, the people Far Away felt a fire burning in their hearts.
Regardless of whether Li Dong's plan was realistic, regardless of whether Li Dong's plan could succeed, regardless of how much pressure Far Away would face in the future.
But at this moment, their boss was shining brightly!
The next moment, the cheers shook the park Far Away.
"General Manager Li, we are with you!"
"Together!"
"We support you!"
"You can do it!"
"…"
The chaotic slogans were not as shocking as the unified cheers.
But at this moment, no one cared about this!
Hong Ji looked at the scene in front of him and muttered, "Individual heroism, this is a business taboo …"
Chen Lang interrupted with a smile, "No, Far Away is not Huarun Resources. This is Far Away, Li Dong's Far Away. With Li Dong, there will be Far Away! With him, we can overcome all difficulties! "
"Lunatics!"
This was the second time Hong Ji shouted this word. They were all crazy. They were running a business, not a pyramid scheme.
But looking at the scene in front of him, why was his blood boiling?
Compared to the lifeless Huarun Resources, compared to the silence of other companies, Far Away's side was very exciting.
Yes, at most, they could start all over again!
If Li Dong dared to fight, why wouldn't they dare?
At most, they would lose their jobs, at most, they would change companies. But in the past, they had fought hard.
A few years later, they could proudly tell others.
That year, under the leadership of a 23-year-old boss, Far Away fought to become the first in Hua Xia, the first in Asia, and the first in the world!
Even if they failed in the end, it was an unforgettable period of time.
…
September 17th, this day belonged to Li Dong!
Lehman's bankruptcy and the financial crisis could not stop Li Dong's glory!
He wanted to lead Faraway Group to the world. He told everyone that he was still young, and he could start all over again!
Faraway Group's scale was not so big that it could overwhelm others.
A 100 billion dollar group, if you said it was big, it was huge.
If you said it was small, it was also very small.
However, at this moment, no one cared about this. They only heard Li Dong's voice.
I can fail, I can start all over again, but I will not be afraid, I will not be timid, and I will move forward bravely!
…
On this day, the headlines of major media outlets were occupied by Li Dong.
On this day, Bailian, Wal-Mart, RT-Mart, and everyone was in danger.
On this day, Li Dong's Weibo fans exceeded 20 million, surpassing the top superstars!
On this day, there was a group of people with ugly expressions, looking at the contract over and over again. They wanted to know if the following Far Away City had anything to do with them.
Similarly, on this day, Jia Wenhao, who had just returned to Beijing, pointed at a segment of the economic channel and told his father, "This is Li Dong."
And on this day, Li Dong had another nickname, "The Attacking Giant!"
…
Night.
Provincial Party Committee Compound.
Li Dong muttered, "Attacking Giants, motherf * cker, I'm just showing off. Which b * stard gave me such a nickname!"
Shen Qian, who was standing on the side, was already laughing.
Although she was laughing, the admiration in her eyes became more and more fervent.
This little man was getting more and more powerful.
His every move had begun to attract the attention of all of Hua Xia. His vow to start all over again made countless people excited and sleepless at night.
Yes, I am still young, at most I can start all over again!
