Downstairs of Lijing Building.
After Li Dong left, Ma Yun also left.
Beside the car, Li Dong said with a smile, "Old Ma, outsiders are outsiders after all. A large corporation with hundreds of billions in revenue can't be changed by remote control.
This was especially true for state-owned enterprises, where it was extremely difficult.
Without a few professional managers with reliable abilities, remote control was just empty talk.
If you like to gamble, go ahead. It will be easier for me if you are dragged down by others.
The Chairman and CEO have just been appointed, and I don't think there will be any changes in a short time.
Three to five years is enough for me to develop.
Even if there are any changes in the future, I am not too worried. Even Ali can't adapt to the situation, let alone other companies. "
Ma Yun frowned. "Bailian is not my only choice. Your words have no effect on me."
"Then continue to choose. When you are done, I should be almost done with the arrangements. Also, let me remind you. Don't focus on the retail sector all day. Why must you fight with me? Last time, I asked you to help promote internet finance, and you patted your chest loudly. In the end, you put all the pressure on me. Are you kidding me? You boast so much, but you only know how to take advantage of others. Only you can do this. But it's fine. I will take over the entire market, and you can be complacent! "
After saying that, Li Dong swaggered off.
Ma Yun was speechless. Seeing that Li Dong was about to board the car, Ma Yun thought for a while and said. "I don't need you to tell me about online payment. Li Dong, we can discuss your retail alliance plan. As long as you are not so independent, we can discuss it!"
Li Dong held onto the car door and turned his head. "You want to join us?"
"I can consider it."
"Can you listen to me?"
Ma Yun said angrily. "I only listen to what is right. You are wrong. Should I follow you to the end?"
Li Dong looked up and said after a while. "We can discuss it later. But you guys are not as useful as you think. If Tmall wants to go the O2O route, it's just copying others' ideas. There's no need for you in the country, unless it's the overseas market. "
"That's not necessarily true!" Ma Yun snorted, obviously not very satisfied. This guy was too arrogant.
Li Dong opened the car door. As he got in, he waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about this later. I don't usually like people who want a share of the spoils without any ability. Let me see your ability first."
"Arrogant bastard!"
"I learned it from you. But I'm stronger than you now, so I'm wilder than you. When you're stronger than me, you'll be wilder than me."
Li Dong laughed heartily, closed the door, and started the Maybach.
After Li Dong's car left, Ma Yun also got into the car.
Before long, Shen Guojun also came downstairs.
After getting into Ma Yun's car, Shen Guojun fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Ma Yun asked, "How is it?"
Shen Guojun shook his head and said, "Your attitude is much better than yesterday, but I gave an excuse that I had something to do and didn't continue the conversation. Old Ma, what do you think? "
"Let's wait and see. This time, we failed to force an abdication. Instead, we let Li Dong see us as a joke."
Ma Yun sighed softly. He originally thought that with such a big change in the Bailian Association, it was a good opportunity.
But he also agreed with most of what Li Dong said just now.
The Bailian Association's several strokes of genius were obviously not the work of the two people at the helm. Relying on remote control to command, the general direction would not be wrong.
But when it came to the specific details and adaptations, it was not easy.
As the helmsman of a large group, Ma Yun certainly understood that the success or failure of a company was sometimes not just a matter of the general direction, but also the specific operation.
The executor was very important. Otherwise, no matter how good your plan was, they could still mess it up for you.
If you could not adapt to the situation and change the strategy at any time, it was all empty.
Top professional managers were in short supply in the business circle. Some professional managers, even people like Li Dong were willing to put down their status and pay a visit.
It could be seen how important the specific executor was.
The Bailian Association was good at everything, but the current helmsman's ability was still lacking. The atmosphere of state-owned enterprises was still too heavy.
Even if there was someone acting as a strategist and commanding behind the scenes, Ma Yun was not too optimistic.
If this strategist was replaced by He Ming, then it would be different. The specific executor and strategist were the same person, then the effect would not be comparable to the behind-the-scenes commanding.
Unfortunately, the result was not like this.
Especially when they had to face Li Dong, this cunning guy, Ma Yun was even more pessimistic.
Sighing softly, Ma Yun rubbed his forehead. There were so many things to worry about!
And Shen Guojun, at this time, was not so anxious.
Li Dong's previous big alliance plan made him somewhat interested.
Since the Bailian Association was not reliable, joining Li Dong's big alliance was not impossible. It just depended on whether they could accept the conditions Li Dong offered.
…
Back at the hotel.
Li Dong took off his suit and washed his face. Then, he said to Chen Lang in the reception area, "The Bailian Association is not as terrifying as we thought. Of course, we can't ignore it. But I can see that they are just like that. Our plan will continue, but you were also there when we talked to Ma Yun and the others. What do you think? "
Chen Lang smiled when he heard this. "It's not much different from before. Previously, CEO Qi said that we will pull a group and beat a group.
But at that time, Yintai was not in the list of roping in. Now that there is the Bailian Association, we have some scruples after all.
I think your alliance plan is still feasible.
Previously, we only wanted to rope in people, but we did not have a good reason. Now, I think this alliance can still be used.
And unlike the nominal alliance, using online channels to control these companies can also integrate resources and strength.
I am just worried that not many companies can accept this. "
"Let's give it a try. Not every company has this ambition.
If the development of online channels was that easy, it would not be just us now.
Working with others is one thing, but working with us is another.
Of course, there is still a slight difference. Everyone will be more afraid of us. After all, we are doing it online and offline together. It is normal for these guys to be worried that we will swallow them up.
As for how to enlighten them and reduce their wariness, you guys can discuss it.
Once the pros and cons are explained clearly, everyone will make their own choice.
Not everyone can do online channels. Wal-Mart can't even do it in the country, so they chose to cooperate with Jingdong.
Their business is small, can it succeed?
Since it can't succeed, they will choose an online channel to cooperate with. It is better than guarding the offline channel.
Now, only we, Taobao, and a few companies in Jingdong have this ability.
Jingdong can't do it, but Wal-Mart has not settled their side. They don't have the time to care about them. Moreover, Jingdong's strength is not enough.
The remaining ones are Taobao and Far away. As for who to choose, it is up to them.
Furthermore, we don't want everyone. We don't want those who are too weak, too strong, or have a bad reputation. They must at least be representative in the local area.
Don't try to rope in everyone for no reason and drag down our status. "
Although the alliance was just mentioned casually, Li Dong was still paying attention to it.
If they can form an alliance and help Far away to promote O2O, the benefits might be lesser, but it will save Li Dong a few years of time and a large amount of funds.
Fighting one on one, eating all the food alone was quite enjoyable.
The key is if you fight alone, there will be a few wolves eyeing you, and it will be troublesome.
If Bailian, Wal-Mart, Taobao, and Jingdong were not causing trouble, Li Dong is not in a hurry.
If one year doesn't work, then two years. If two years doesn't work, then three years.
But now, the situation is changing every day. If you don't expand, others will snatch the market. There is no time for Li Dong to take his time.
Instead of letting others benefit, it is better to pull up a team and do it himself. It is better to earn less than nothing.
Moreover, Li Dong's main goal is not to earn money. Seizing the market is the most important.
Before the arrival of the mobile Internet era, before e-commerce develops to its peak, it will not be so easy for others to snatch the market back later.
After Li Dong finished speaking, Chen Lang nodded and said, "Then I will go back and make a plan, and then lead a team to investigate everywhere. But we can release the news first to appease the others. Otherwise, we will be provoked by Bailian and other companies. Everyone will feel insecure and want to fight to the death with us. "
"Okay, when the plan is done, we can organize a meeting and invite friends from all over the world to participate! The West Lake Sword Discussion held by Ma Yun in Lin 'an before is good. Next time, let's also organize one and have a retail summit forum. Make the name a little more elegant and give us face. "
Li Dong made a joke, but Chen Lang kept it in mind.
After the two chatted for a while, Chen Lang went back to his room.
…
Li Dong stood by the windowsill for a while, and his cell phone rang.
Taking the phone from Bai Su, Li Dong answered the phone, "How is it?"
"I probably found something, but I don't know if it is accurate or not. It is not the news from my father. It was said by a few friends when they were chatting."
Shen Qian on the other side of the phone said with uncertainty. She didn't know if it was useful to Li Dong.
Li Dong said with a smile, "Tell me, I want to see who is supporting Bailian behind the scenes and insists on going against me."
"It is not necessarily against you." Shen Qian said and explained, "If the news is true, then it is not against anyone, but their own plan."
"Oh, what plan?"
"Unify Hua Xia's retail industry!"
Li Dong laughed and said, "Are you kidding? Who is so generous? I have a guilty conscience when I say this. Is there anyone more arrogant than me?"
Shen Qian said grumpily, "It is good that you know you are arrogant. I am serious. The strength of the other party is not weak, even stronger than Far away. If Bailian is really controlled by them, then two of the top three department stores will be controlled by them. "
"Huh?"
Li Dong raised his eyebrows, "Top three? Far away, Huarun Resources, Bailian, you are not kidding, right? "
"No, does the Cheng family know? Huarun Resources, you know yourself, Chen Lang also knows, many people know about it.
Originally, Bailian was not their turn, and even the appearance of Bailian was to hinder the other party.
But now, the situation had changed.
You're not in the capital, so you don't know. You're the one who started all the fighting recently.
This time, taking advantage of the fact that the others couldn't move, the Cheng family paid a price and stuffed He Ming into the Hundred Alliance, which was considered to have gained the tacit approval of the others.
However, whether or not they could control the Hundred Alliance still depended on their own methods.
If they didn't have enough means, then others wouldn't be polite with them.
In short, Bailian was on the same side as the Cheng Family for a short period of time. It was the same for Huarun.
I'm not sure if the news is true or false. Anyway, you just need to be careful. Huarun Resources might go back on its word. "
Li Dong took a deep breath, and his previous nonchalance disappeared in an instant!
Huarun Resources and Bailian Group. It would be terrible if these two companies were to do the same thing!
Just as he was thinking about it, Shen Qian added, "Oh, there are also people who said that they might have been the ones behind Gome. I'm not sure about the details, so it's hard to say. You also know that some things can't be taken seriously. It's just a rumor. But if it's true, then Bailian, Huarun Resources, and Gome working together to control Hua Xia's retail system is not nonsense. "
Li Dong licked his lips and said after a while, "I know. Whether it's true or not, I have to pay attention. Fortunately, He Ming wasn't very good. Ma Yun was probably a little disappointed and might not choose to cooperate with Bailian. But without Bailian, there's still Huarun Resources, and Gome … "
Li Dong didn't say anything. If it was really like this, it would be a little scary.
He didn't expect such an outcome. There was actually someone plotting the entire retail industry.
Li Dong had this idea himself, but he also knew how difficult it was. It was difficult to do it from the industrial side. Only by relying on the e-commerce side could there be a chance.
But now, someone was preparing to start from the industrial side and integrate it cleanly.
Once it was really done, even the impact of e-commerce would not necessarily shake their position.
Of course, it was very difficult.
Bailian and Huarun Resources were state-owned enterprises. It didn't mean that they belonged to you just because you controlled them.
Even the slightest change might end up benefiting others.
The enterprises were fixed, and the personnel could change at any time. If you can't hold that position firmly, you will have to give up after three to five years. By then, the so-called integration would be empty talk.
As for the war in Beijing, Li Dong was also aware of it.
It was still the matter with Jia Wenhao and the rest, and the dust had not settled yet.
This kind of thing couldn't end overnight, and it was normal for it to continue for a period of time.
Now, it seemed that the top big shots were fighting in Beijing, and some others didn't dare to participate. They started to fish in troubled waters and were preparing to stir up trouble in other places.
To the big shots, a retail industry was really not too important.
China was a vast country with many industries, and the retail industry was just one of the many inconspicuous industries.
Some people were thinking about this. As long as they didn't cause a commotion and did things quietly, it wasn't considered crossing the line.
Li Dong knocked on the window gently. To others, the retail industry was nothing. But to him, it was very important.
Now, someone was trying to snatch control of this industry from him, and Li Dong couldn't tolerate it.
Of course, there was no need to be too extreme. He would look at Huarun Resources later. These two industry giants couldn't cooperate just because they wanted to. There were still many small sects in the industry.
There was also Gome. Li Dong knew that regardless of whether Gome was the mastermind, it still failed in the end.
He hoped that this time, Old Huang would also do well and not disappoint him.
