Shortly after Li Dong arrived in Shanghai.
A motorcade slowly stopped in front of the Maoyue Hotel.
Guo Guangke had been there for a while. When the motorcade stopped, he suddenly laughed and said, "Old Ma, Old Shen, you're late!"
Ma Yun and Shen Guojun got out of the car at the same time and hugged each other.
After a few words of greeting, Ma Yun smiled and said, "Old Guo, you've been working hard recently. Is the pressure too much?"
Guo Guangke waved his hand and said, "You're working hard too."
Speaking of Guo Guangke, he was also in the limelight for a while last year. He was ranked tenth on the Hurun List with Li Dong. When Fosun went public, his personal wealth exceeded 30 billion.
But in less than a year, the financial crisis hit, and Fosun was also hit hard, and its stock price plummeted.
He was one of the top ten richest people last year. This year, his wealth had shrunk a lot, and he was barely in the top 50 with a net worth of 10 billion.
It was impossible to say that he was not under pressure.
But at this time, he was not the only one who was under pressure. Everyone present was under pressure.
Ma Yun's wealth had also shrunk. In fact, this was not the key. The key was that Ma Yun's opponents were getting stronger and stronger, and they were constantly reducing Ali's living space.
Ali's main business was the B2B business and Taobao business. Originally, the B2B business was in trouble because of the financial crisis, and its stock price fell below the issue price.
If that was all, it would not be a big deal.
The key was that Taobao's living space was constantly being reduced. In addition, Yahoo was constantly creating trouble for Ma Yun. Ma Yun was also working on the partnership system, which was even more troublesome.
After a few times, Ma Yun was probably under more pressure than anyone else.
Shen Guojun was not much better. Ever since the news of the cooperation between Far away and China Resources was set, he could not sleep at night.
Zhejiang was close to Jiangbei, and it was also one of the six provinces and one city in East China. Its economy was also very developed.
Shen Guojun did not need to think about the cooperation between China Resources and Far away. He knew that the first place both parties would enter was probably Zhejiang.
The two were not too weak in Zhejiang. Once they joined forces, Yintai would definitely not be able to compete with them.
It could be said that the three people present were under a lot of pressure.
The few of them chatted for a while, and Ma Yun said as they walked back to the hotel, "You are under a lot of pressure, but you asked for it. Fosun is involved in too many industries.
Medicine and health, real estate, steel, logistics, mining, retail, cultural industry, service industry …
There's nothing you don't do!
I know what you're thinking. You want to build a world-class investment group.
Repositioning the company with an investment model and sorting out the network. Although it was easy to say, it had to at least be big and strong in certain areas.
Otherwise, what's the difference between an investment group and a VC? "
Guo Guangcai smiled and said, "Don't talk about me. Is there any difference between Ali and Fosun?"
Ma Yun said disapprovingly, "Of course we do. At least our e-commerce is the core, and we have to make it big and strong. With this as the foundation, he could expand to other fields. Only then would he not be a rootless duckweed. Li Dong's Far Away might be involved in many industries, but it also had its core business, and the retail industry was its core business. As for real estate, logistics, internet, and entertainment, those are just fillers. Fosun has a strong foundation, and if you focus on medicine or real estate, Fosun will definitely be stronger, and you won't have to … "
"Alright, Old Ma. I put aside all the tasks at hand to welcome you guys to Shanghai." Guo Guangke interrupted him with a smile, "Alright, Old Ma. You attacked me the moment we met, and your mouth is really sharp. Let's not talk about me first. You and Old Shen have other motives for coming to Shanghai, right? "
At Guo Guangcai's level, it was hard for outsiders to sway his beliefs.
Not to mention Ma Yun, even if someone stronger than Ma Yun came to guide him, Guo Guangjie might listen, but whether he would do it or not was another matter.
In fact, everyone was the same. For example, when Guo Guangcai advised Ma Yun to give up on Tmall Mall and focus on C2C and B2B businesses, Ma Yun would not listen to him.
After Guo Guangcai finished speaking, Shen Guojun beside him couldn't help but sigh, "What other motives could there be? Far Away cooperated with China Resources, and they are extremely domineering, not giving us any room to survive. With Li Dong's temperament, he was used to killing without mercy. If we don't find allies, it's hard to say if there will still be Yintai in a few years. "
Speaking of Li Dong, even Guo Guangcai couldn't help but say, "Li Dong's character is indeed a bit overbearing. Competition is competition, but he always wants to force his opponent to death without leaving a way out. No one can stand it. You guys are here for Bailian this time, right? After Bailian took down Agriculture, Industry, Commerce, and Yonghui, they finally have the strength to fight. It's time to teach Li Dong a lesson, lest this guy is too arrogant and goes too far! "
Seeing Guo Guangcai full of resentment, Ma Yun couldn't help but laugh, "I say, Old Guo, something is wrong this time. Didn't you say before that you want me and Li Dong to bury the hatchet? What's wrong, last time you guys were chatting happily, but this time you have a lot of resentment? "
Guo Guangcai shook his head and said helplessly, "I've only heard of that guy before. I've met him a few times, and I feel that he's quite to my liking.
But when Yuanfang enters Shanghai, I'll know why you hate him.
Too overbearing!
Yu Garden Mall has stood for so many years, even companies like Bailian and Wal-Mart haven't thought of opening a shopping mall near Yu Garden Mall in recent years.
One Yu Garden Mall covers an area of several miles, and it's already full capacity.
But Li Dong came and opened two shopping malls near Yu Garden!
Don't mention it, I feel as if there's grass growing in my heart.
Don't you think this is harming others without benefiting himself?
How much business can there be if he opens a shopping mall near here?
In the end, this guy just had to go against me, and even introduced several jewelry companies to set up shop. The event lasted for several months, and I almost died of anger. "
Guo Guangcai felt helpless and funny at the same time. Li Dong is like a fly, pestering you and not letting you go.
You can't beat him to death, but if you don't beat him, you'll be disgusted.
In addition, Far Away has recently become more and more famous, and has indeed taken a lot of business from Yu Garden Mall.
Yu Garden Mall is synonymous with the retail industry under Fosun. Once Yu Garden Mall can't hold on, the entire retail system will collapse.
Guo Guangcai, who already has a lot of troubles, was disgusted by Li Dong this time, and a lot of his hair fell off.
Hearing what he said, Shen Guojun couldn't help but scold, "This bastard, he's always doing disgusting things! I have several shopping malls in Lin 'an, and there are stores of his family nearby! If two shopping malls are opened together, the flow of customers will be diverted, and the sales will plummet. If I'm having a hard time, will he have a good time? In the end, he just wants to do this, a bastard who harms others without benefiting himself! "
Ma Yun couldn't help but laugh. After a while, he said, "Then let's beat him up!
He's used to being arrogant, and it's also because you guys are too cowardly. You guys don't even dare to fight back when you're being bullied.
He wanted to bully me, but after a few times, he didn't get any benefits, so he gave up.
I've seen through Li Dong. He's a classic example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
The weaker you are, the more he bullies you, until you can't fight back, and finally get killed by him.
If you were to force him, he would have to think twice before acting. He would have to think twice before deciding whether to fight you head-on or take a step back.
Before he is 100% sure, he won't easily make a move.
You say he's reckless, but this guy is more clever than a monkey.
I heard that he also came to Shanghai today, probably because his mind is unclear, so he came to Shanghai to see the situation. It's good to scare this bastard a bit. "
The few of them suddenly laughed. At their status, they rarely spoke ill of others behind their backs. If there's something to say, they would say it face to face.
But Li Dong is indeed a rat in the industry, causing disputes and trouble everywhere.
The three of them had some resentment towards him, so it was not surprising that they chatted together.
In fact, in the past two years, there were many people who scolded Li Dong behind his back.
Who asked that guy to be too arrogant and overbearing? So far away, the 200 billion in revenue was snatched from the mouths of others.
200 billion in revenue, how many people's rice bowls had been snatched away, so naturally, there was no lack of people who hated him.
As they chatted and laughed, Ma Yun said, "Old Guo, you're well-informed in Shanghai, help us find out when Li Dong will arrive at Bailian. When he arrives, we'll give him some warmth and say a few words of condolence. "
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Guo Guangke almost coughed to death, and after a while, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Are you really going to join forces to beat him up this time?"
"We're just helping Bailian make up their mind. Their determination isn't that firm. But Old Shen and I 'coincidentally' met this guy at Bailian. Just wait and see, if Bailian doesn't take care of him, he won't be at ease. There will be a battle sooner or later. To force an abdication, we have to be fully prepared. If Bailian can't make up his mind, we'll help him make up his mind, so as to avoid the trouble of procrastinating. "
"You guys, still making a fuss at this time."
Guo Guangke sighed and didn't try to persuade them.
Anyway, at this time, he was not in the mood to accompany Ma Yun and the others to make a fuss. The financial crisis was still hanging over their heads.
It would not be too late to fight after the crisis was over.
If they started tossing and turning now, they were not afraid of both sides suffering losses and tormenting both sides.
Of course, it had nothing to do with him. If the few families really fought to the point where both sides suffered losses, Guo Guangke would be happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Maybe he could even pick up some ready-made bones to chew on.
…
"Achoo!"
Li Dong, who had just come down from the World Financial Center, suddenly sneezed.
Looking up at the sky, Li Dong muttered, "Someone is talking about me. His mouth is so big, it's most likely Ma Yun." Chen Lang's face stiffened.
Chen Lang's face stiffened. You're about to become a god, and you're even implicating Ma Yun in this?
He was too lazy to answer. It was Bai Su who quickly said, "General Manager Li, the weather is cold. Put on more clothes later."
Li Dong glanced at her and said angrily, "You don't believe me? My intuition is very sharp. I guess it's him. It's 99% him. Of course, we can't rule out the people on Bailian's side. "
Bai Su smiled stiffly and said reluctantly, "Probably. General Manager Ma is also a person. He just likes to gossip."
Seeing the two of them echoing each other, Chen Lang couldn't help but roll his eyes. Like boss, like secretary.
Don't you feel guilty about this flattery?
Li Dong didn't care about them. When Tan Yong opened the car door, Li Dong said, "You guys go do your own things. I'll walk around by myself. You don't have to follow me."
Chen Lang nodded. Bai Su said, "General Manager Li, I'll go with you."
"No need. Go do your own things. If you really have nothing to do, you can go shopping. I'll give you a holiday."
After saying that, Li Dong said again, "Don't call me if there's nothing. Let me know when Chen Ying's schedule is arranged."
Hearing him say that, Bai Su didn't insist.
She knew that Qin Yuhan was in Shanghai. Li Dong was probably going to see his girlfriend. It was indeed inconvenient for her to follow him.
…
At the same time.
Bailian Headquarters.
The headquarters was not far from the World Financial Center. The straight-line distance was only one or two kilometers.
Of course, the two were across the river. In addition to the tall buildings in Shanghai, they couldn't see each other.
At this time, in the headquarters conference room.
Ma Xingsheng, the CEO of Bailian who had just been in office for half a year, He Ming, the CEO who was recently parachuted from the Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Yang Deli, the CEO of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce, Zhang Xuansong, the CEO of Yonghui …
A group of executives were discussing integration matters.
At the crucial moment, there was a knock on the glass door of the conference room.
Ma Xingsheng turned around and saw it was the CEO He Ming's secretary. He couldn't help but frown.
He Ming smiled and said, "It's probably something important. Little Chu won't act recklessly."
After saying that, He Ming nodded outside.
His secretary quickly pushed the door open and entered. After greeting the leaders, he said respectfully, "Chairman Ma, CEO He … The CEO's office just received two calls. The first one was from the Far away Retail Group. They said that Mr. Li Dong came to Shanghai and hoped to come to Bailian to discuss with us about the financial crisis. The other one was from CEO Shen's secretary. He said that CEO Shen and the others had arrived and hoped to contact us as soon as possible. "
"Li Dong came?" Ma Xingsheng subconsciously muttered.
He Ming's focus was on Yintai. He asked, "CEO Shen and the others have arrived?"
"Yes, they are now staying at Maoyue Hotel."
He Ming smiled and said, "What a coincidence. They came together."
After saying that, He Ming looked at everyone and said, "What's the arrangement?"
Ma Xingsheng frowned and said, "Since Li Dong has come and took the initiative to come over, it's not good to refuse. How about this? Tomorrow is not very convenient. The day after tomorrow, let's invite Li Dong to Bailian for a visit. This guy is not coming with good intentions. Everyone should be careful. "
Seeing that he was serious, He Ming couldn't help but smile and said, "Chairman, I think there's no need to be nervous. There was no doubt that Li Dong came to Shanghai because he was afraid. Moreover, this is our home ground. We don't need to care too much about Li Dong. The key is still the cooperation with Yintai. This is the key. "
Ma Xingsheng glanced at him. Zhang Xuansong and the others also couldn't help but look at He Ming and then at Ma Xingsheng.
He Ming had just come down from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. As soon as he came down, he became the group's CEO. This was actually beyond many people's expectations.
However, the few people present all knew that this guy was someone's spokesperson.
But even if you have a big background, can you ignore Li Dong?
Stop joking!
Li Dong is afraid!
If Li Dong was so easily afraid, he would have been scared out of his wits long ago. Zhang Xuansong and the others all understood that Li Dong came this time probably to find out the truth.
Naturally, they had to be careful with their words, lest Li Dong catch any flaws. If they were not careful, it would easily expose Bailian's strategic goals and direction.
For people like Li Dong, the ability to seize opportunities was very strong.
Now that He Ming had a disapproving attitude, it made the few people shake their heads in their hearts.
The people who looked down on Li Dong are all dead. What virtue and ability do you, He Ming, dare to not take Li Dong seriously?
Ma Xingsheng's reminder, although it was a bit of nonsense, was necessary.
Moreover, He Ming refuted Ma Xingsheng in front of everyone, which put Ma Xingsheng in a difficult position.
Zhang Xuansong sighed softly, a little speechless. He thought that Bailian was already a piece of iron, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
However, everyone was in the same boat now. In addition, He Ming wasn't the person in charge. The real person in charge was the person behind him. For that person's sake, everyone couldn't be bothered to refute anything.
Ma Xingsheng took a deep look at He Ming and didn't answer him. He continued, "Li Dong's side is set for the day after tomorrow. I will personally receive him then. Since Director He has to busy himself with Yintai's matter, Director Shen's side will be handed to Director He. "Director Yang and Mr. Zhang's current main mission is still to open up the barriers between Agriculture, Industry, Commerce, and Yonghui and Bailian. "Before the end of the year, let's not talk about anything else, but at least complete the task of changing the cards …"
Ma Xingsheng explained the task and didn't say anything else.
When the meeting ended, Ma Xingsheng passed by He Ming's secretary and said meaningfully, "At the next meeting, some things don't need to be reported. It won't be too late to report after the meeting."
He Ming's secretary's face was a little pale. He nodded and didn't say anything.
As for He Ming himself, his expression was slightly ugly.
