Far away Retail's Shanghai General Manager and Gome's Shanghai General Manager went to the Shanghai City Government together.
Of course, ordinary people did not know about this.
On the internet, people were still discussing Far away Retail's comparison with other companies.
As for more information, no one was interested and had no way to know.
Beijing's side received the news very quickly.
When someone received the news, he could not help but sneer. "He's trying to scare people again. Scaring people doesn't work. If he's so capable, he should really withdraw!"
Someone else sighed. "Li Dong is getting more and more arrogant. Does he really think everyone will be threatened by him? He's using this tactic every time. It's getting old. "
No one felt that Li Dong was serious. Far away Retail would suffer heavy losses if they withdraw. Would Li Dong do such a loss-making deal?
More than a hundred retail stores would be evacuated, and the losses would not be small.
Far away Retail's distribution would also be affected.
Leaving Beijing was equivalent to giving up the core market in the North. People would not be able to enter that market, and Li Dong was willing to give it up?
This guy was full of ambition. When he first entered Beijing, he signed a harsh bet with Suning. Only by combining the strength of the two families could he gain a foothold in Beijing.
Almost no one believed that he would withdraw just like that.
Most people treated it as a form of coercion.
Of course, many people felt that Li Dong was retreating for the sake of advancing. He wanted to use this opportunity to solve the problem between him and Du Anmin.
Although this move was useful at times, it also depended on where it was used. Many people snorted in disdain when he used this move in the capital. This brat must have lost his mind!
… …
Beijing.
Du Anmin's office.
Du Anmin shook his head and thought for a while. In the end, he gave Li Dong a call.
When the call connected, Du Anmin sighed. "I'm too impulsive."
Yes, Li Dong was too impulsive.
He had used a threatening stance to tell the Beijing City Government to withdraw. The government would not accept such a threat.
Li Dong was too naive!
Even if he was Du Anmin, he had no choice but to remain silent at this moment. If he really spoke up, it would only leave people gossiping.
Far away, what are you trying to do?
Far away policy bias, do you have any selfish motives?
There was also Li Dong himself. He said that he would withdraw, but he did not. Not only did he offend people, but he also did not get any benefits. He was simply looking for trouble for himself.
Du Anmin was a little disappointed. This kid really made a stupid move this time.
As he was thinking, Li Dong laughed and said, "Uncle Du, I'm not being impulsive. I'm serious."
"What do you mean?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "From the beginning, I wanted to see how Beijing would react.
Because of you, I've been held back in the capital time and time again, and I feel terrible.
I don't even dare to start a price war, for fear that you will say that I am destroying the market economy.
Back then, when Wumart took the initiative to cause trouble for us, we also tried to keep the peace.
But this can't go on. Far away and Carrefour have merged into one, but they still can't compete with Wumart in Beijing. Are we weaker than them?
No!
It's because I have scruples, but they don't!
You and I are both thinking about this, but won't others think about us?
Since that's the case, I'll take this opportunity to see how they react.
A retail group worth hundreds of billions will be welcomed by the government wherever it is, even Beijing is no exception!
I'm not here to develop real estate. Is there a need to target me?
If Beijing continues to force me, then I'm sorry, I really have to leave.
Uncle Du, it's not that I don't want to give you face, nor do I want to create trouble for you.
Far away, I have to think about the business.
I'm afraid that everyone will think that I'm playing around and making everyone happy. That's definitely a big mistake.
Of course, I'll only tell you about this, Uncle Du. Don't tell anyone else.
But don't worry, even if we leave, we will deal with the aftermath and not leave a mess for the government. "
Du Anmin was a little shocked and said in a deep voice, "Are you serious?"
"Yes."
"You really want to withdraw?"
"I'm not serious, but I want to wait and see. This time, I took the initiative to close the shop to see other people's reaction.
Including this time, I invited all the departments to cooperate to inspect Far away, also to see the results.
Far away is so conscious, how will other companies treat us?
I don't want to be biased, I just want to be fair!
If I can't even be fair, I really can't continue to stay. The southern market is already lacking funds to expand.
Maybe leaving the north and entering the south will help us open up the international market, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. "
Du Anmin took a deep breath and said after a while, "I hope you can reconsider. Withdrawing from Beijing will not only affect Far away, but also the investment environment in Beijing. Far away, the investment environment in Beijing will be questioned by the outside world, and it will even have an impact on the international market. Li Dong, are you sure you've thought it through? If you withdraw this time, you might not have a chance to enter again. "
Li Dong smiled and said, "Uncle Du, I've already thought it through.
Actually, sometimes I'm also very hesitant about whether to leave or not.
But after weighing the pros and cons, I'm still partial to withdrawing.
My hesitation shows that I am also not sure.
We can only wait and see. Far away might be a turning point, and we will know after the Annual Gala.
At that time, I have also seen the Beijing City Government's attitude. "
"Far away will suffer a lot from this." Du Anmin frowned.
"It's fine. I have money, and I can do whatever I want."
Du Anmin's mouth twitched and snorted. "I'm hanging up!"
This rascal. If he doesn't want to make things difficult for me, he should just say it. Why must he say such nonsense?
… …
Li Dong can't guess what Old Du is thinking.
Dong Xuebing was not prepared to leave Beijing, and this idea had just appeared in his mind not long ago.
However, he was repeatedly suppressed and coerced because of his relationship with Du Anmin. He was indeed getting impatient.
Since that's the case, Dong Xuebing will take drastic measures.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate for him to end things directly than right now.
Dong Xuebing also wants to see the situation of the retail alliance after the Annual Gala.
Far away will not really leave. They will just continue to operate under a different name.
But changing the name and continuing to operate under the name of Far away will have very different effects. Li Dong does not know if the situation will be better than now.
No matter what, it will not be worse than now.
In the office. Li Dong shook his head and muttered.
"Don't care so much. Let's see what happens first. It's just Beijing. It's not a big deal to give up."
Although Li Dong said this, he gritted his teeth and was not as happy as he appeared.
Leaving on his own and being forced to leave are two different concepts.
If Old Du does not help him get back at him, he will torture his daughter!
