In the small conference room.
No one spoke. When the people from Run Tai arrived, they could guess Li Dong's purpose.
But even if they knew, they could do nothing about it.
Li Dong was not in a hurry. He smiled and said, "At this point, there are some things that everyone should be clear about. Far Away is not very strong. Compared to some big companies, Far Away may be weaker. But compared to all of you … "
The smile on Li Dong's face did not change. He said slowly, "Compared to your companies, Far Away should be able to crush all of you. Far Away is not ambitious, and I, Li Dong, am not ambitious either. What I want is only the retail business. For Huarun Resources, Run Tai, and other big companies, although the retail business is not dispensable, it is also not a core business. I believe that all of you should have already considered this clearly before coming here. "
Niu Gang frowned. Chen Hao did not say anything.
Hong Ji glanced at Li Dong and did not say anything. At this moment, Li Dong was using his power to oppress them.
But Li Dong had the capital and strength to oppress them, to the point that they could not breathe and could not say a word.
What could they say?
Li Dong had his eyes on the retail business. To put it more bluntly, Li Dong would not let go of any large retail business.
As long as they did not surrender, Far Away would not let them off.
How could they continue to do business if they were being targeted by such a person?
Now, everyone understood Li Dong's purpose and determination.
Either they keep fighting, or they surrender and compromise. After November 11th, everyone had already made up their minds.
As long as Li Dong was Far Away, Far Away would not collapse.
With him around, it was almost impossible to make money in the retail business.
The others did not speak, but Zhang Hua of the Martial Business Alliance said, "General Manager Li, for Run Tai, Huarun Resources, and other companies, the retail business is not everything. But for the Martial Business Alliance, the retail business is everything! And the Martial Business Alliance is the controlling shareholder of Jiangcheng City … "
Li Dong said playfully, "What's wrong with state-owned assets? Now, private capital could even enter the banks and even the military industry, let alone the retail business.
The Martial and Business Alliance had been making a ruckus for so many years, but they had not made much profit. The internal strife was not weak.
There were many such state-owned enterprises in the country.
It's not a big deal if the country retreats and the people advance, right?
Trying to fool me with this? Do you really think that I, Li Dong, am ignorant?
Far away, the Martial and Commercial Alliance is actually not one of our strategic targets. However, you guys are in the way, blocking our path to South China.
Far away's logistics system, including the supply chain, I don't want it to be cut off in Central China.
Besides, can you stop them Far Away?
Far away, Longhua and Yintai are raising their cards against you. The Wushang Alliance is retreating step by step, and even they can't force them to retreat.
Far away, Longhua, or Yintai, I think you should know how to choose.
Longhua is not in the retail business, and Yintai is weak. Choosing them is actually to rely on Far Away for development.
Far Away directly, or be controlled by these two, and then rely on Far Away, it's up to you to choose. "
Zhang Hua frowned. Li Dong ignored him and looked at Niu Gang, "What's your choice, Mr. Niu?"
Niu Gang took a deep breath, glanced at the others, and said, "Great Shang can let Far Away enter, including its retail supply chain, logistics, and warehousing can be handed over to Far Away. The management will also be reorganized. However, Great Shang Group is still the largest shareholder of Great Shang Retail. Far Away has the right to enter Great Shang Retail to exercise their rights and obligations, but Great Shang also has autonomy and operating rights … "
What he said was actually similar to the conditions that Li Dong had offered to the companies in the alliance system.
Great Shang could let Far Away enter, including handing over some important channels to Far Away to operate.
However, Great Shang still wanted to maintain independence, and not completely become an industry of Far Away.
Niu Gang had thought about this for a long time last night.
The chances of winning against Far Away were very low.
Since that was the case, then they should become one with Far Away. With Far Away as their backing, Great Shang might develop better.
However, Niu Gang still didn't want to have another mother-in-law on his head, even if some important channels were handed over to Far Away, and Great Shang was under Far Away's control.
However, Great Shang Group was still the number one shareholder, and managing Great Shang Retail, Niu Gang could have more autonomy.
At this time, he was more of a partner of Far Away, and not a subordinate.
The moment Niu Gang said that, the expressions of the others changed.
Although Niu Gang said that he wanted to maintain independent operating rights, in reality, he had compromised and admitted defeat, not daring to continue competing with Far Away.
Supply chain, logistics, and warehousing were all handed over. Far Away could control almost half of Great Shang Retail.
However, there was still a chance to turn the tables, and they wouldn't be directly integrated into Far Away.
The others considered Niu Gang's choice and felt that it wasn't impossible.
The Martial Business Alliance's CEO's eyes flickered. The Martial Business Alliance was in constant trouble, and Central China had become a battleground. They couldn't defend against Far Away's invasion.
Maybe the Martial Business Alliance could do the same.
After Niu Gang said that, Li Dong glanced at him. Niu Gang didn't avoid his gaze, and stared at Li Dong with a determined expression.
Li Dong couldn't help but smile, "CEO Niu, if it was other companies who said this to me, I would agree without thinking. Even if the Martial Business Alliance had such thoughts, I would consider it. But Great Shang … "
Li Dong's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, "No!
Great Shang has the northern retail market, and they are strong. CEO Niu isn't someone who is willing to be under others.
I don't want a second voice to appear in Far Away!
Far Away's retail, even among the companies in the alliance, my voice, Li Dong, is the only one!
Yintai is considered one of the stronger companies in the alliance, but even if it's Yintai, I won't go back on my word. There is no room for negotiation!
As for Great Shang, I don't think that the second shareholder can lead the operation of Great Shang.
So, there is no other choice for Great Shang.
Far Away can become the biggest shareholder.
Or, Great Shang can maintain its independence, and Far Away can clear up the south, and then slowly fight with CEO Niu! "
Niu Gang's face flushed red, and he looked at Li Dong, "General Manager Li, are you not confident, or Far Away doesn't have this confidence? Do you think that Great Shang will surpass you? If that is the case, then I will be disappointed! "
Li Dong didn't think much of it, and he smiled, "CEO Niu, don't think so much, and don't try to provoke me.
I just don't want to waste too much time on this, and I don't want to add more chaos to the already chaotic Far Away system.
Although I don't care about all this, I don't want to leave a mess for the next one.
I have said everything that needs to be said.
CEO Niu, how to choose is Great Shang's matter, and I won't force it.
If CEO Niu is really unwilling, then continue to wait. After all, Far Away is of limited threat to Great Shang. Maybe CEO Niu can lead Great Shang to a new world. "
Niu Gang scoffed. Without Far Away, Niu Gang felt that Great Shang still had room to develop.
But how could they develop after being targeted by Li Dong?
Now, Wumart was being integrated, and before it was completed, Wumart's tentacles had already extended to the three northeast provinces.
Great Shang wasn't afraid of Wumart alone.
Previously, Great Shang even entered the capital and nearly defeated Wumart in their nest.
If not for China Resources and Far Away entering, Wumart wouldn't have been able to defend against Great Shang's attack.
But it was different now. Far Away had Wumart's backing, and it had support.
Capital, talent, connections, channels, technology … They weren't weaker than Great Shang in any aspect, and they might even be stronger.
Far Away's online strength was incomparably strong. Once it was promoted on a large scale in the northeast, Great Shang would only suffer a greater impact.
In addition, the major shareholders had different thoughts now, and his shareholding ratio wasn't high. In the end, it wasn't impossible for him to be chopped off and offered to Far Away.
What was lost now was only Great Shang Retail. As time passed, Far Away might be forced into a corner, and they might lose the entire Great Shang Group.
Niu Gang was clear about this logic.
Today, Li Dong had gathered them together, and Niu Gang was also clear about Li Dong's goal.
It was nothing more than killing the chicken to warn the monkey. Niu Gang even suspected that if he didn't compromise now, news might spread before he even left. Far Away had entered Great Shang!
Yesterday, Li Dong had made it clear that Bin City's State Merchants supported him.
However, Li Dong didn't want the State Merchants to get involved too much, so he didn't agree.
However, if he didn't compromise now, then Li Dong might not really care too much about this. After all, Bin City's State Merchants didn't hold too many shares, and Li Dong might not be unable to tolerate it.
Taking a deep breath, Niu Gang was not an indecisive person. He instantly overturned his original plan and said in a deep voice, "Great Shang Group will transfer 5% of its shares to Far Away. Is General Manager Li satisfied?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "Boss Niu is still the most courageous. 5% is about right. I said that I prefer to share everything. Far Away and Great Shang will jointly manage Great Shang Retail. I believe that the future of Great Shang Retail will be even more glorious. "
Great Shang transferred 5%, Far Away and East Star held 15%, and Maoye 5% agreed to the transfer. This way, Far Away's shareholding ratio was as high as 25%.
On Great Shang's side, after the transfer of 5%, its shareholding ratio fell to 20%. It went from the first shareholder to the second shareholder, and the rights of Great Shang Retail fell into the hands of Far Away.
Of course, if Great Shang Group and Bincheng Shang joined forces, Far Away's position would not be too stable.
However, as long as they became the first major shareholder, Li Dong would not give them a chance.
Even if he did not take the shares in the hands of these two companies, Li Dong would think of ways to take more shares in the other small shareholders, including the stock market.
At that time, there was almost no hope of making a comeback.
Moreover, Li Dong would get the 8% shares in the hands of Bincheng Shang sooner or later. If Niu Gang wanted to lie low for a period of time before making a comeback, it would depend on whether Li Dong agreed or not.
Great Shang agreed to transfer 5% of its shares to Far Away, which also meant that Far Away had successfully taken over Great Shang Retail.
Niu Gang made it sound simple, and Li Dong agreed readily. Both parties did not even argue about the price.
However, the expressions of the others became more and more serious.
Far Away was completely invincible in the North!
Wumart and Great Shang had both been taken over by Far Away. Now that Far Away was in the North, all they needed was time to integrate these two into the system of Far Away.
No one expected that Far Away would be able to conquer the North so quickly.
This was also related to Double 11. A platform that could make hundreds of billions of achievements in a day made almost everyone despair.
With such a giant online target, everyone still had hope if it was just online strength.
However, offline strength was also incomparably strong, eyeing you like a tiger watching its prey, waiting to give you a fatal blow at any time. Under the two-pronged attack, Great Shang had already lost its fighting spirit.
If Great Shang was Niu Gang's Great Shang alone, he would not easily compromise and admit defeat.
However, Great Shang was not!
When the executives, shareholders, and even employees were not on the same side as you, the longer it dragged on, the weaker Great Shang would be.
In the end, there might really be a situation where Great Shang would collapse on its own.
…
Looking at Li Dong's calm face, it was difficult for Niu Gang to connect this man with the young delivery man on the screen.
After saying Great Shang's decision, Niu Gang suddenly felt the pressure in his heart dissipate.
He looked at the others once more. Niu Gang originally wanted to stay and wait for them to make a decision and wait for them to say something.
However, at this moment, Niu Gang suddenly felt that there was no need to wait anymore.
Since they came to Li Dong's place, it meant that the few large corporations had already made a decision. What they wanted now was nothing more than better and more favorable conditions.
The Martial Business Alliance, China Resources, and Gao Xin, the three large retail corporations would probably be under Far Away's control.
These people didn't look for Yuan Chengdao who was in charge of Jiangbei, nor did they look for Chen Lang who was patrolling the country. Instead, they came to look for Li Dong. This also meant that they only recognized Li Dong and not Far Away.
At this moment, Niu Gang discovered the biggest weakness of Far Away!
Far Away was only strong because of Li Dong, not as a whole!
If one day … Far Away did not have Li Dong …
Niu Gang's eyes flickered. Perhaps at that moment, the internal division of Far Away might bring about a different Great Shang, a stronger Great Shang!
Would such a day come?
He, who was originally unwilling, suddenly calmed down.
Let's wait!
These few days, Li Dong had made it very clear that he might leave Far Away in the near future.
The day he left might be the day that he could make a comeback.
…
Niu Gang didn't continue to stay. After discussing his own matters, he quickly left with his men.
Now, both parties had only reached a verbal agreement. The details still had to be discussed slowly.
After he left, only the three parties and Li Dong were left in the conference room.
Among the four companies that came, Great Shang had already compromised, and Run Tai had already contacted Far Away. Hong Ji and Zhang Hua both understood that at this time, only they had not reached a decision.
Sure enough, Run Tai's Chen Hao waited for Niu Gang to leave before he smiled and said, "General Manager Li, Run Tai currently holds 15% of Gao Xin's shares, and Ji Xin currently holds 70% of Gao Xin's shares. We hold 49% of Ji Xin's shares. We can transfer the 15% of Run Tai's shares to Far Away, but for Ji Xin, according to the company's regulations, we must inform Ou Shang … "
Run Tai's shares could be sold to Far Away without anyone's consent.
But Ji Xin was a joint venture between both parties, and Ou Shang was the controlling shareholder. Any transaction must be approved by Ou Shang.
Li Dong didn't mind. He smiled and said, "It's alright. We will first complete the procedures for the 15% share transfer. As for Ji Xin, if Ou Shang is willing to take over, we can let them take over. I would like to see if Ou Shang has the courage to take over. "
Ou Shang naturally had the priority to buy over Gao Xin's shares. But if Far Away held 15% of Gao Xin's shares, would Ou Shang still dare to take over?
If the news of Far Away taking over Run Tai's shares got out, Ou Shang's side would be in chaos.
Ou Shang's own development in Hua Xia was average. It was mainly because they were optimistic about Run Tai that they decided to cooperate with Run Tai.
But now, their partner had abandoned them, and the target of their cooperation had become someone far away.
This was a ferocious tiger that ate people without spitting out their bones. Even if Gao Xin's operation rights were still in Ou Shang's hands, Ou Shang, who had lost Run Tai, would probably not dare to cooperate with Distance.
Taking over Hua Xia's business was a small matter. Far Away was afraid that they would take advantage of the situation, and in the end, even their base would be swallowed up by them.
Li Dong said confidently, but he didn't discuss the details with Run Tai.
Chen Hao didn't mind. He sat at the side and looked at the other two parties with a smile.
At this time, Hong Ji and Zhang Hua completely understood that this guy was actually here to put on a show.
Both parties had probably reached an agreement a long time ago. They might even have signed the contract.
Now that he was here, it was more to create pressure for them.
As for whether Niu Gang was here to put on a show, they weren't sure. But Li Dong should be confident that Niu Gang would compromise. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked them to meet at the same time.
If Da Shang compromised, even if Gao Xin didn't fall into Far Away's hands, Ou Shang would be unstable internally, and they wouldn't have the energy to delay Far Away.
Currently, in China, the only retail companies that still had the ability to compete with Far Away were Wal-Mart, Bailian, China Resources, and Suning.
Suning was, after all, in the home appliances business, so it would be of limited help to them.
Therefore, there were only three opponents left from afar.
Zhang Hua glanced at Hong Ji. With Hong Ji here, was China Resources going to surrender without a fight?
Just as Zhang Hua was thinking about this, Li Dong looked at Hong Ji with a smile and said, "CEO Hong, China Resources should have made a decision, right?"
Hong Ji's expression was uncertain. This time, he didn't come on his own initiative.
Instead, the top management had asked him to come over to discuss the merger with Far Away.
It was a merger, not a discussion!
This made Hong Ji feel dissatisfied and confused. He didn't know why China Resources would compromise so easily.
Although Far Away was strong, China Resources' retail business had been declining in the past two years.
But after all, it had developed to this point, and even Hua Xia's number one position. Now, it didn't even fight for it and just admitted defeat. This made Hong Ji even more dissatisfied.
But no matter how dissatisfied he was, Huachuang was only a subsidiary of China Resources. He couldn't refute the decision made by the headquarters.
Hearing Li Dong's words, Hong Ji sighed and said slowly, "I have made a decision, but I still have some doubts. I would like to consult General Manager Li."
Li Dong smiled and said, "No hurry, we will talk about this later. It's good that there is a decision. Far Away's integration is something I have been looking forward to for a long time. I think you and CEO Chen will have a lot in common, just like in the past. Now, only the Wushang Alliance has not made a decision … "
Zhang Hua's eyebrows twitched!
Out of the four families that had come, three of them had already compromised. In other words, Li Dong was only doing this for the Wushang Alliance!
Thinking of this, Zhang Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Li Dong had overestimated the Wushang Alliance!
He used the compromise of the three retail giants to force the Wushang Alliance to make a decision. He really thought highly of the Wushang Alliance.
Before coming here, Zhang Hua didn't know what to do.
For a moment, Zhang Hua was at a loss. Should he still act according to the original plan?
