Li Dong wasn't the only one who was surprised by Bailian's acquisition of Yonghui.
Everyone inside and outside the industry was shocked and surprised.
The speed was too fast, and the news was too sudden. No one could react for a while.
Moreover, according to the information revealed by some senior executives of both sides, Bailian didn't pay much cash for this acquisition. Most of it was exchanged with shares of Bailian.
This also meant that Bailian not only acquired Yonghui's brand and stores, but also Yonghui's founder and some shareholders.
Most of the time, the two were not the same concept.
HSBC was an investor in Yonghui. Since it was paid with shares, did that mean that HSBC and Bailian had teamed up?
Zhang Xuansong, the founder of Yonghui, became a shareholder of Bailian. Did that mean that he was going to work for Bailian?
Zhang Xuansong's ability and the overall situation were unquestionable. He opened up another way and continued to expand Yonghui with the model of a fresh supermarket.
If it wasn't for the assassination Far away in Mountain City, Yonghui wouldn't have fallen to this point.
Since 2005, Yonghui had gradually emerged.
From the annual revenue of 3 billion in 2005, to this year, just after the third quarter of 2008, Yonghui's revenue reached 5.5 billion. There was still the year-end shopping peak, and it wouldn't be difficult for it to break through 7 billion in revenue.
In three years, the revenue had doubled.
There weren't many companies in the department store industry that could achieve such results.
From this, it could be seen that Zhang Xuansong's leadership and strategic direction were at least above the standard.
If Bailian gave him a chance to play and the resources that Bailian had, it wouldn't be as simple as 1 + 1.
Yonghui wasn't considered big now, mainly because it lacked funds to develop. Even HSBC couldn't throw money into a bottomless pit.
Bailian was different. Bailian really didn't lack money, resources, or channels. The only thing that Bailian lacked was probably professional high-end elites.
This was also one of the drawbacks of state-owned enterprises. Amateurs led professionals.
It was fine if they met a modest and cautious one, which would give professionals a chance to speak and perform.
However, if they met a headstrong one, state-owned enterprises would become his word, and no one could disobey him.
A few years ago, Bailian had encountered this problem.
Otherwise, with Bailian's resources and strength, how could it be overtaken by Huarun?
You should know that under Bailian, Lianhua or Hualian are not much weaker than Huarun. But the result was good. Many brands had joined hands, and Huarun was almost overthrown.
The reason was actually not complicated. Chen Lang had been in charge of Huarun for the past few years.
Although Chen Lang was also a layman, he only did what he was supposed to do and did not interfere with the specific business. What he did the most was to acquire some companies that were worth acquiring and could create results.
Acquiring Su Guo was also the most beautiful thing Chen Lang had done in his position.
Far away, Su Guo was seriously injured, and Chen Lang was in charge of Huarun Vanguard for a few years. The competition between Bailian and Huarun Vanguard should have come to an end.
On the other hand, the Hundred Alliance Alliance had always been caught in internal strife.
State-owned enterprises never lacked elites, but they lacked opportunities to perform. In the past, Bailian didn't give these people a chance.
But now, everyone felt that something was different.
Hualian, Lianhua, and several other brands were integrated. Agriculture, Industry, Commerce and Industry left Guangming and joined Bailian. Yonghui was quickly acquired …
This series of changes was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Although Bailian didn't reveal any news of changes in senior management, many people were guessing that there might be a stabilizing level senior management on Bailian's side.
Otherwise, the current situation wouldn't have happened.
Far away's offensive was extremely strong. Coupled with the alliance with Huarun, in the Hua Dong region, it had already suppressed Bailian.
Now after Bailian acquired Agriculture, Industry, Commerce and Industry and Yonghui, it connected the Hua Dong southern region. Not only did the performance increase, but the key was the regional integration, which could attack and defend.
Bailian Association's attack directly broke through from Shanghai, and Jiangzhe and Jiangbei were close at hand.
If they wanted to avoid Far away's edge, they could retreat to Minnan and attack South China or Hong Kong and Macao, which was much better than before.
If it wasn't for the acquisition of Yonghui, Far away took Yonghui and entered the Minnan region, Bailian would have faced a big encirclement.
Trapped for a few years, Bailian couldn't break out of this encirclement. Under the attack from both inside and outside, Far away would be defeated sooner or later.
However, in an instant, the situation reversed. Far away's encirclement strategy had been declared useless after losing Yonghui.
While the industry was in an uproar, everyone was waiting for Li Dong's reaction.
Li Dong was ambitious, and many people could see it.
He wanted to be the retail overlord of Hua Xia, whether online or offline, including his 100 billion Far away City plan, 100 billion logistics plan …
In fact, they were all fighting for the goal of being the retail overlord!
The significance of the existence of Far away City and logistics was to build a retail giant empire.
But now, the situation had become a little confusing.
The veteran overlord was not to be outdone and attacked again and again. This time, it was like snatching food from the tiger's mouth, breaking Li Dong's encirclement. Many people were looking forward to what Li Dong would do.
…
Just as the outside world was in a heated discussion.
Jiangbei.
Provincial Party Committee Compound.
Li Dong's eyes were solemn as he stared at the map hanging in the courtyard and said, "Bailian taking Yonghui is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that I'm worried that Bailian will take it!"
Li Dong pointed and Shen Qian's eyes changed as she exclaimed, "Yintai!"
"That's right!"
Li Dong pointed at the map and gritted his teeth, "Shanghai and Minnan are said to be not far, but in fact, they are.
The main thing is that there is Jiangzhe in between. Once Jiangzhe's retail giant Yintai is taken down, we will lose the most important market in all of Huadong!
Gan Province, Jiangbei, Sunan, and Lu Province, these four provinces added together may not be as important as the coastal Jiangzhe, Minnan, and Shanghai.
Far away is in charge of Jiangbei, Sunan, Gan Province, and Lu Province, and they have not even occupied half of the market share.
Once Bailian takes down Jiangzhe, they will completely form a line, and Bailian's strength in Huadong will completely surpass us.
At that time, our Huadong retail hegemon will become a joke!
And this is just the beginning. If we let it continue to develop, I'm afraid … "
Li Dong's expression was solemn. After a while, he said, "Far away will probably encounter its biggest Waterloo in five years."
Shen Qian's expression changed drastically. The current Li Dong was known to be invincible, undefeated, and undefeated.
This was also the main reason why Far away was invincible and the enemies avoided him.
Because a legend and legend that had never been defeated made everyone subconsciously retreat and fear him.
But once Li Dong was defeated in the local market, his legend and legend would be shattered.
In the foreign markets, including South, North, and Southwest regions, Li Dong's defeat was understandable.
But in the Huadong region, where his roots were the deepest, Li Dong's starting industry, the largest industrial cluster, Far away's retail empire, was defeated, and the consequences would be catastrophic.
At that time, Huadong's China Resources, Wal-Mart, RT-Mart, North China's Wumart, Huadong's Wushang, and the heartland's Bailian would not let go of Li Dong who occupied the central region.
Huadong was originally the core region of Hua Xia, and also the central region.
With enemies on all sides, could Far away hold on?
Shen Qian was worried and quickly said, "Then immediately send someone to Jiangzhe and talk to Yintai. At most, we will give up the Jiangzhe market, but we can't let Bailian enter! We are now cooperating with China Resources, and Yintai has already felt the crisis. I am worried that Shen Guojun will feel the pressure and lead the wolf into the house. At that time, we will be in danger! "
Li Dong did not say anything and continued to stare at the map.
Seeing this, Shen Qian did not say anything and waited for Li Dong to come back to his senses.
After about five or six minutes, Li Dong suddenly said with some disappointment, "Yintai is not what I am worried about the most, and even the entire physical retail circle is not what I am worried about the most.
In the field of e-commerce, I am also not worried about a single e-commerce.
Because Far away is not taking a single path, but O2O, the Internet and physical.
But this path is not my path alone.
I can walk, and so can some people.
Jiangzhe, Shanghai, Minnan, two provinces and one city are linked together. At most, we will divide the Huadong market.
But look again, whose nest is this? "
Shen Qian did not need to look. When Li Dong said e-commerce, she was already like a thunderbolt. She said in shock, "No! How can it be! Didn't Ma Yun and you … "
She wanted to say that Ma Yun and Li Dong had a good relationship, but suddenly thought that this was a joke!
What was the relationship between Ma Yun and Li Dong?
After all, they were the biggest competitors!
Their series of performances at the Internet conference made people think that the two were friends, allies on the Internet front, leaders in the field of e-commerce, and promoters of Internet finance.
Many people subconsciously felt that the two would not fight in a short time.
Because they were promoting the Internet finance industry, it seemed that they did not have time to fight.
But in an instant, Shen Qian was completely awake!
Not to mention that the two only had some common ground in strategy, even if they were brothers, it would not prevent them from fighting.
The headquarters of Taobao was in Lin 'an, and Lin' an was the provincial capital of Jiangzhe!
Shen Guojun and Ma Yun of Yintai had long discussed to join forces to carry out online and offline strategies.
In May of this year, the two sides also competed on the battlefield of the acquisition of Carrefour.
Later, Ma Yun felt that his strength was not enough, and Far away was determined to get it, so he finally gave up this plan.
But giving up did not mean that he could not pick it up again.
Shen Qian suddenly thought of another point and said in horror, "Li Dong, you mean that Taobao, Bailian, and Yintai are very likely to have joined forces long ago?"
Li Dong took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily. After a long time, he said, "This is what I am most worried about!
I have never doubted Ma Yun's ambition.
And Bailian used to have no ambition, but recently it has changed and become ambitious.
On Yintai's side, they felt a crisis, plus Ma Yun is a person who can be tricked, it is possible to persuade Yintai to switch to Ali or Bailian.
Then the three parties joined forces, no, in fact it was only Bailian and Ali joining forces. Once they also started O2O and connected the online and offline systems.
With Tmall's current strength, plus Taobao's reputation, and Bailian's store advantage.
Far away, even if they joined forces with Huarun, they may not be a match.
I know Ma Yun, this guy for the future, for the market, it is likely that he will lower his requirements and take the initiative to seek cooperation with Bailian.
It is difficult for Bailian to resist. If it was in the past, the pride of state-owned enterprises would not allow them to cooperate with these grassroots.
And state-owned enterprises have always maintained a state of not deep contact with the Internet industry.
But now, everything has changed.
Bailian, who is in control of everything? "
This was also Li Dong's biggest doubt!
An expert appeared!
It may be too early to say that it is an expert, but once Li Dong's guess is correct, the other party will choose Ali and Yintai, then it will be a true expert!
The reason why Faraway Supermarket has been invincible for five years is that the mall has brought a lot of benefits to Far away.
The two complemented each other, online and offline, the combination of users, and the growth of reputation, which is much better than a single model.
Young people choose online, middle-aged and old people choose offline, the combination of the two, Far away's customer base covers all users.
Plus the smooth logistics, this is Li Dong's winning magic weapon.
But now, once the guess is correct, there may be a second such new retail group.
The number one offline retail overlord, the offline giant with the most stores, plus the second in the B2C business, Taobao, the frontline C2C business giant.
The combination of the two, the effect may be beyond everyone's expectations.
Others may not know, but Li Dong clearly knew that the combination of online and offline will produce several times the combat power.
At this moment, Li Dong had a headache.
Chen Lang, Sun Tao, and the others were still focused on the offline, they may not have realized that such a change may occur.
However, Li Dong could not help but worry about this.
Shen Qian frowned, gritted her teeth, and said, "Do you think the backup of Bailian is that guy in Capital?"
Li Dong knew who she was talking about, and he had guessed it himself.
There was even a period of time when Li Dong felt that it was that guy who was causing trouble, and Shen Qian even threatened his son.
But this time, Li Dong shook his head and said, "Maybe he is involved, but he is definitely not the leader.
It's not that I look down on him, but he can't do such a setup.
Even if he thought of it, he doesn't have the ability.
If I guessed correctly, the person behind Bailian is an elite in the business world, and I may even know him.
He should not be old, or even if he is old, he will be more receptive to new things.
If Bailian chose Ali, then it proves that I guessed correctly. The other party may be around 40 years old, and should not be older or younger than that.
He has been in the field of e-commerce, and even has his own understanding.
And he can also control the situation, maybe he is from the government, this is also very likely, otherwise, those people from Bailian won't listen to him.
In short, if this person really exists, my guess is not far off.
This is also the reason why I asked you to come back this time.
Go to Capital and ask Uncle Du about the situation, I will go to Shanghai, this time I want to personally visit the people from Bailian, later I will go to Jiangzhe to visit Ma Yun and Shen Guojun.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
I don't even know who the opponent is, I don't feel at ease. "
Li Dong, who had long been used to being prophetic, felt that his eyes were blank for the first time, and he did not know the situation at all.
This time he had to go see for himself, even if he did not know who the opponent was, he had to at least understand some of the situation.
Outsiders thought that he only knew how to rampage, that was based on the fact that Li Dong completely knew the outcome.
This was the first time he did not know what the future would be, did not know who the opponent was, did not know anything.
Even if it was Internet finance, Li Dong promoted it in advance, that was also because he knew the success of the future, he was just one step ahead.
Now, this new amalgamation that might be produced had already exceeded his expectations.
The butterfly effect brought about by Li Dong's rebirth was already getting bigger and bigger.
Especially in the field he was involved in, as his achievements became greater, his changes became greater, and the changes also became greater.
In his previous life, until he was reborn, Taobao did not make such a big change.
It was the same for Bailian, that national retail group that was defeated by foreign capital, at this time, actually exploded with ten times the combat power of his previous life, how could people not be shocked.
After Li Dong finished speaking, Shen Qian immediately said, "Okay, I will go back to Capital immediately, my dad may not know, but I will try my best to find out. Don't be anxious here … "
Li Dong laughed and said, "I'm not in a hurry. Maybe it's a little, but it's more exciting and satisfying! You don't understand, I am a little tired of things that are the same now. Most of the time, things develop completely according to my expectations, the results are also the same, even if I win, I can't get excited. This time is different, although the unknown is scary, it is also a little more exciting, I hope that the other party can bring me more surprises! "
"Pervert!"
Shen Qian could not help but curse, then a smile appeared on her face.
Wasn't this Li Dong the Li Dong that she admired, the Li Dong that she liked?
When he first entered the company, Li Dong was so passionate, so positive and high-spirited.
But as success became easier, the achievements became greater.
What she saw on Li Dong's face was only exhaustion. There was no longer the joy of success.
She still remembered that time, when Far Away Mall was launched, Li Dong stayed up all night, waiting for the first day's results.
She still remembered that time, the acquisition era, Li Dong and Sun Tao were excited and cheered loudly.
She still remembered that the fierce battle with Sunan, the defeat of Su Guo, Li Dong's blood was boiling, and he said that he wanted to build Hua Xia's Wal-Mart.
However, she did not know when, but Li Dong's face rarely showed such joy and smile.
As he said, it lacked a little passion, a little less exciting.
The general trend of Hua Xia's retail was completely under his control.
What he did most was to wave his hand and tell others, "Go fight it, you will definitely die!"
She could no longer see the nervousness of the battle with Su Guo, nor the joy of the acquisition era.
But today, Shen Qian found that Li Dong was also nervous and nervous, but more than that, he was excited.
Originally, she thought that this guy could retire, and he was indeed in a semi-retired state.
But now, Li Dong suddenly had a fighting spirit, showed his edge, and unsheathed his sword again.
Shen Qian really wanted to see Li Dong again, after killing a strong enemy, the blood of the sword returned, and the infinite elegance.
That kind of Li Dong was the strongest in everyone's eyes.
At this moment, Shen Qian's heart palpitated, and she even forgot the consequences of failure.
Perhaps, in her heart, Li Dong would never be defeated!
