On the 10th of November, Distance had once again created a miracle.
On the 11th of November, Far away's global transaction volume exceeded 150 billion!
Offline, Far away's daily transaction volume also reached 30 billion.
Online and offline, 180 billion in a single day. While everyone was shocked, they were also in despair.
Far away had gone too far and too high on this path. Was there really anyone who could surpass them?
Whether it was the online giants or the offline retail giants, they were all pessimistic and their hopes were slim.
Originally, when Li Dong left, many people were full of confidence. They felt that after Li Dong left, even if Far away didn't collapse, they wouldn't be too much of a threat again.
However, it was only now that everyone understood that even without Li Dong, Far away was still terrifyingly strong.
The current Li Dong was Far away's spiritual pillar. He was no longer a valiant general who charged and broke through enemy lines.
As long as no one could defeat Li Dong, there would not be a day when Distance's morale would fall.
However, Li Dong had already retired. How could they defeat him?
Unless, they surpassed Li Dong's achievements in their career.
They had to surpass his wealth, surpass his Far Away, and be younger than his age. Otherwise, no one could defeat him.
At this moment, many people couldn't help but curse in their hearts. This was an old fox!
If Li Dong had stayed Far Away, Far Away would have continued to expand. If Li Dong continued to fight, there might have been someone who could have dealt a fatal blow to Li Dong.
But now, Li Dong didn't show up. Instead, it was Yuan Chengdao and the others who showed up. Even if Far Away lost, the people Far Away and outsiders would only think that it was because Li Dong wasn't there.
Once Li Dong showed up again, Far Away would be invincible!
This kind of powerhouse, even if he didn't show up, had the effect of stabilizing the army's morale.
In actual fact, compared to Li Dong Far Away, he might be even more powerful.
…
Autumn passed and winter came.
When it snowed for the first time, it was already 2011.
2011, New Year's Day.
On this day, Faraway Group held a grand New Year's Day party.
Far Away Holdings, the honorary chairman of the board, Li Dong, and his wife, Shen Qian, attended the evening banquet together.
On this day, the current president of Faraway Group, Sun Tao, announced several exciting figures at the party.
In 2010, Faraway Supermarket entered 12 countries, and the number of stores in the world officially exceeded 10,000.
Distance Mall entered Europe, the United States, and various major countries in Asia, officially beginning the plan to build a global retail circle.
In 2010, Distance Retail Group had generated a total of 1.1 trillion in online transactions, of which the B2C proprietary business had a transaction volume of 700 billion.
"Faraway Away", Faraway Supermarket also reached. Worldwide. Worldwide, the offline.
So far, Far Away Retail Group created a total of 1.85 trillion transactions, and the revenue attributed to Far Away was as high as 1.45 trillion.
It was also the second company in the world to have a retail business revenue of more than a trillion RMB.
"Far Away in 2009, the entire holding group's revenue exceeded the trillion-yuan mark." In 2010, a single retail group did it, and it exceeded it by a large margin. Online sales accounted for nearly 50%, and in terms of transaction volume alone, it even exceeded offline.
The rapid development of the online shopping market also shocked countless companies.
In addition to Far Away Retail, other industries under Far Away Holdings also contributed more than 100 billion RMB to Far Away.
The other industries were mainly in the IT and logistics industries. To be able to create such high revenue in the IT and logistics fields was far from comparable to the 100 billion RMB revenue of retail.
According to statistics, in 2010, Far Away Holdings' revenue reached 1.55 trillion, and the profit was as high as 100 billion.
Compared to a single offline industry, online profits were higher.
Offline giants like Wal-Mart, although the revenue was higher than Far Away, in terms of profit alone, there was not much difference between them and Far Away.
At this moment, no one doubted that Far Away could surpass Wal-Mart.
With the combination of online and offline, and explosive growth in data, perhaps in 2011 or 2012, Far Away might be able to surpass Wal-Mart.
Compared to the growth in revenue, Far Away Holdings' market value increased even faster.
In 2010, Weibo's share price did not increase much, but due to the rapid development of Tencent in the mobile market, by the time 2011 entered, Tencent's market value had reached trillions of HKD.
In his previous life, Tencent's market value reached trillions of HKD in 2014.
Far Away Retail, because of the online explosion, the share price also increased significantly, and the market value had reached 1.6 billion RMB.
In summary, the current three companies under Far Away Holdings had a market value of 2.9 billion RMB, and they continued to firmly occupy the first position in the global market value.
And Li Dong's throne as the world's richest man was unshakable.
On New Year's Day, the Wealth List showed that Li Dong's family wealth had reached 250 billion USD, which was 1.7 billion RMB!
The second-ranked Mexican tycoon's family wealth was 70 billion USD, which was still far from Li Dong's.
In the Hua Xia List, the second-ranked Hsu Shengzhe had acquired Vanke, and Far Away Retail's share price had increased, and his wealth had reached 82 billion RMB. There was a huge gap between him and Li Dong.
Hu Xiaorui was still ranked fifth, but she was closing in on Li Yanhong, who was ranked fourth. Her wealth had reached 46 billion RMB.
In fact, there was one person missing from the list, Shen Qian.
Shen Qian's investment company owned more than half of OPPO's shares, and a large number of Baidu, Tencent's shares, and many other internet companies.
In the past 10 years, most of these companies had experienced explosive growth, including companies like DJI.
If one were to calculate the value, the total value of these companies' shares would definitely be more than 30 billion RMB, or even more.
But because of Li Dong and Old Du, Shen Qian's investment company was overlooked.
Furthermore, Shen Qian was Li Dong's lover. Even if she was included, she would be included in Li Dong's family wealth. To Li Dong, an increase of tens of billions of RMB was really negligible.
…
As time passed, Li Dong's reputation did not decline with his retirement. Instead, it grew.
Although Li Dong was no longer working in Far Away, Li Dong was not isolated from the world. Sometimes, he would appear in public, or invest in some private projects, or participate in some public projects.
Whenever Li Dong invested in a company or project, everyone realized that there would be profits soon.
The phrase "turning stone into gold" was used to describe Li Dong.
At the end of the first half of 2011, when various lists were released, no one in Hua Xia dared to say that they could surpass Li Dong.
In early July 2011, < Fortune > released the ranking of the world's top 500 companies.
Faraway Group entered the top 10 for the first time.
From entering the world's top 500 for the first time in 2009 to directly becoming 16th in 10 years, when the list was released in 2011, Far Away ranked fifth in the world's top 500 with 220 billion US dollars in revenue.
This time, Far Away's ranking also surpassed Sinopec and became the number one company in Hua Xia!
At this time, Li Dong was only 26 years old.
From 2004 to 2011, Li Dong used less than 7 years to create a super business empire with the world's first market value, Hua Xia's first company, and the world's fifth in revenue.
At this moment, Tencent's market value officially exceeded the trillion RMB mark, no longer the previous trillion HKD.
Far Away, after Far Away Retail, officially owned two companies with a market value of trillion RMB. Far Away Retail was even moving towards the two trillion RMB mark.
Far Away Holdings' three listed companies officially exceeded the three trillion RMB mark.
At this time, Far Away Logistics also began to prepare to go public.
Far Away Finance also began to raise funds for the first time. The valuation given by various institutions was more than 20 billion US dollars.
Li Dong's family wealth, at this moment, began to approach two trillion. According to the current situation, as long as Far Away Logistics went public and maintained Far Away's previous potential, when it went public, Li Dong's family wealth would exceed the two trillion mark.
…
Everything in the outside world, Li Dong was no longer in the mood to care.
Just as the various lists were released, Li Dong was waiting for Qin Yuhan to give birth in Shanghai.
Outside the delivery room.
Li Dong paced back and forth, murmuring, "I have a hunch, it's still a daughter."
Qin Hai and his wife, who were not far away, could not be bothered with him.
When they found out that their daughter was pregnant, they almost went to Pingchuan to settle the score with Li Dong. If not for Qin Yuhan's persuasion, Li Dong would have been scratched all over by Yang Yun.
Just as everyone was waiting anxiously, accompanied by a cry, Li Dong's third child was born.
And Li Dong's theory about the seven fairies seemed to have been verified.
At this moment, the Li family had gathered five fairies.
This time, Li Dong did not dare to name his child "Li San."
Just like the Yuan couple, Li Dong and Qin Yuhan's first child was given the surname Qin under the Qin couple's strong request.
Ji Yanxuan, this was named by Qin Yuhan herself. She did not let Li Dong intervene.
Because Li Dong's naming talent was despairing.
Daylily was worry-free. This was Qin Yuhan's original intention.
She hoped that her daughter could be carefree. This was also the first thought that came to Qin Yuhan's mind as a mother for the first time.
Li Le was born in September, Yuan Yuan in August, and Ji Yanxuan in July.
Therefore, this summer, Li Dong was very busy.
In August, he first celebrated Ji Yanxuan's one-month birthday, then went to Xiangjiang to celebrate Yuan Yuan's birthday, and then went back to Pingchuan to celebrate Li Le's birthday …
When he found out that Hu Xiaorui was also pregnant, Li Dong wanted to cry, because according to the expected date, Hu Xiaorui might give birth in June next year.
In other words, in the future, he might not be able to rest for a day during these four months every year.
If there were more children born, he would have to travel all year round just to celebrate the children's birthdays.
And this premonition soon came true.
Not long after, Shen Qian was pregnant again.
At this moment, Li Dong was in pain and happy.
At this moment, Li Dong's only thought was nothing else. His only thought was not to provoke other women. Otherwise, he suspected that he would die at the hands of women.
Seeing that the boss was even busier and more laborious than when he was in the company, Tan Yong, who had been following him, could not help but sympathize.
…
In 2012, Li Dong's wish was completely fulfilled.
In June, Hu Xiaorui gave birth to a daughter for Li Dong. Counting Little Shitou and Li Xiaoyu, this was the sixth girl in the third generation of the Li family.
Like Qin Yuhan and the others, Hu Xiaorui let her daughter take her surname and named her Hu Xin.
The daughter's nickname was also given by Hu Xiaorui herself. However, Li Dong suspected that his daughter might find her mother to settle accounts when she grew up.
'Hammer' was the nickname given by Hu Xiaorui.
This was because the first time she met Li Dong was because he smashed cars. Later, she gave Li Dong a small crystal hammer as a souvenir.
Hu Xiaorui felt that it was not enough, so she gave her daughter the nickname 'Hammer'.
For the sake of this nickname, Li Dong strongly objected, but he was still suppressed.
Not only Li Dong objected, but when Little Shitou came to visit his younger sister, he also objected fiercely. This was because the little girl felt that if she was called Shitou and her younger sister was called Hammer, she would definitely not be able to beat her younger sister in the future.
Of course, the objection was ineffective, and the little girl's nickname was finally set as' Hammer '. However, other than Hu Xiaorui, no one else was willing to call her that.
Not long after, Shen Qian, who was considered an advanced pregnant woman, gave birth safely to Li Dong.
This time, not only was the wish of the seven fairies fulfilled, the third generation of the Li family finally had a boy.
A boy and a girl!
The daughter was born first, and the son was born later.
The daughter's name was given by Shen Qian, Li Yan. Yan, beautiful and moving.
The son's name was given by Li Dong. Under everyone's objection, Li Dong decided to give his full name, Li Zhen, and his nickname, Xiaoba.
Originally, Li Dong insisted on using the name 'Li Zhen' to fulfill his wish. However, Shen Qian was unwilling, so Li Dong had no choice but to settle for a homonym.
On one hand, Xiaoba was the eighth child, and on the other hand, Li Dong felt that when his son became famous in the future, people calling him 'Old Li Ba' would easily remind him of his father, Li Dong. He wanted to continue to make his father, Li Dong, more famous.
As for whether his son was willing or not, it was none of his business.
Both his son and daughter were born, his parents were healthy, and his family was in love. Li Dong had gained a lot.
In terms of business, Far Away also maintained the miracle of the past few years.
In the 2012 corporate ranking, Far Away, with a revenue of 380 billion USD, was the first time it was so close to Wal-Mart, second only to Wal-Mart, taking the fourth place in the world.
At this moment, Wal-Mart's revenue was 430 billion USD, falling from the first place last year to third place. Far Away followed closely behind, taking the fourth place.
Far Away now had four listed companies under it, with a total market value of 3.5 billion RMB, more than 500 billion USD.
Li Dong's family's wealth had already exceeded the two trillion mark, reaching 210 billion USD, far ahead of everyone else.
At this moment, no one made any predictions, because according to the current situation, Far Away would definitely surpass Wal-Mart by the end of the 12 years.
It was hard to say if it could become the world's first, but it was almost inevitable that it would become the world's largest retail group.
In fact, it was not out of everyone's expectations.
Although Wal-Mart wanted to expand online, its development was not smooth. In addition, Far Away had taken some of the market share. At the end of the 12 years, Wal-Mart's revenue did not increase, but Far Away's revenue continued to increase.
In July 2013, Fortune released its corporate ranking for the past 12 years.
That year, Far Away surpassed Wal-Mart for the first time with a revenue of 460 billion USD, becoming the second place in the world's corporate ranking with only 20 billion USD less than Shell.
In July 2014, Fortune released its corporate ranking. Far Away continued to increase, officially becoming the world's first with a revenue of 500 billion USD!
First in market value, first in revenue, Li Dong's wealth.
That year, Li Dong's family's wealth exceeded 3 trillion USD, and no one was shocked anymore.
A full ten years!
From the founding of Far Away in 2004 to reaching the top in 2014, Li Dong used ten years to create an unsurpassable miracle.
That year, Li Dong was 29 years old, and his nominal age was 30.
At the age of thirty, when many people had just started their own careers, Li Dong had already become a legend.
