Before Li Dong could reach the door, he was surrounded by people.
Far Away's bosses, as well as Hsu Shengzhe's group, all chased after him.
Seeing them staring at him, Li Dong was puzzled. "Why are you all looking at me like this?"
"Li Dong!"
"General Manager Li!"
Everyone shouted in unison. Li Dong quickly waved his hand. "I have a headache. I have been sitting here for the whole night. Don't ask me about business. I want to go home and sleep."
"No!"
This time, everyone shouted in unison. Yuan Chengdao anxiously said, "General Manager Li, what is going on with the cooperation with Suning? Why is there no board meeting? Also, Far Away … "
He wanted to say that Far Away had no money now, but seeing Hsu Shengzhe and the rest, he quickly shut his mouth.
Although he did not say it clearly, everyone knew what he was trying to say.
Li Dong smiled. "No hurry. After all, it is just a verbal agreement. We have not signed the contract yet. I said it is just for everyone to have some fun."
"Verbal agreement?"
Everyone was speechless. Who are you trying to fool?
If there is no definite news, will you announce it in front of so many people?
This is not a small matter. Far Away is not a small company, and Suning is the same. Two large chain companies are cooperating to enter the Beijing and Tianjin region. How can this be a small matter?
Also, Li Dong did not do it quietly. Instead, he suddenly announced the news in advance. What is he trying to do?
Everyone was eager to know the inside story, but Li Dong refused to say anything.
Seeing him like this, everyone was helpless.
After a while, Li Dong said impatiently, "Hsu Shengzhe, why are you all causing trouble? This cooperation is mine, and I did not spend your money. Why are you stopping me? "
Hsu Shengzhe frowned and said, "It's none of my business that you spend money, but …"
Hsu Shengzhe lowered his voice and said, "But aren't we preparing to establish an alliance? We agreed to cooperate and expand together, but now you're abandoning us and flying solo. Li Dong, what do you mean by this? "
"What can I mean? Suning's offer was pretty good. I saw that the opportunity had come, so I decided to cooperate with them. Why, are you interfering with Distance now? "
"But with such a large investment, where would you have the money to continue expanding? If we don't expand, is our Alliance's goal to be tyrannical within Jiangbei? "
"I know what I'm doing. Don't get involved. Hmm, that's all. I'm busy right now. You guys can leave first. Don't cause trouble. "
"Me!"
Hsu Shengzhe really wanted to curse, but after looking at the people around him, he decided not to.
At this moment, Hsu Shengzhe is feeling uneasy.
Li Dong's actions tonight had caught him off guard. Others might not be able to tell, but he could feel that Li Dong's desire to establish an alliance is not as strong as before.
Without Li Dong, what's the point of establishing an alliance?
Hsu Shengzhe thought for a while. If Far away is not involved, is it worth it for him to put in so much effort?
After thinking for a while, Hsu Shengzhe still has no idea.
He needs to go back and analyze this properly. Li Dong's withdrawal from the alliance has its pros and cons. But whether the cons outweigh the pros or the cons outweigh the pros, he needs to analyze it himself.
Thinking of this, Xu Shengzhe did not stay any longer and hurriedly left with his people.
After he left, Far away's top management is left.
Li Dong said tiredly, "Let's talk later. You guys stay and play with the others. I'll go back first."
Despite the doubts and depression in their hearts, seeing Li Dong chase them away, they did not dare to disobey and left with heavy footsteps.
…
When they left the hall, Li Dong was a little depressed when he saw that Shen Qian was still following him, "Why are you so curious?"
Shen Qian did not care what he said. "When did you get involved with Suning? Also, why do you suddenly want to enter Beijing and Tianjin? Also, where did the money come from? Also, why did you announce the plan in advance? What are you trying to do? "
Li Dong looked around and saw some employees coming out for some fresh air. "Let's talk in the car."
"Okay!"
Shen Qian did not argue and pulled him to the car.
After getting in the car, Li Dong said to Tan Yong. "Old Tan, you go down and keep watch."
Tan Yong got out of the car without saying a word. Shen Qian did not say anything either. "Is it that serious?"
Li Dong shook his head. "It's not serious. I just don't want outsiders to know."
"What happened? Li Dong, I'm about to suffocate. Tell me quickly. "
"Tell me what?"
Shen Qian stared at him. "What do you want to say? Answer a few of my previous questions. "
"Don't be so fierce. You're not cute at all."
Li Dong muttered to himself. After a while, he said, "I reached an agreement with Su Ning in a few days. I am not familiar with Zhang Jindong. I only got to know him when I invited him to the Jiangbei Mutual Aid Association. "
Shen Qian asked suspiciously, "You haven't even met each other before?"
"No. Don't you know?"
"But …"
Shen Qian wanted to say that he had reached a billion-dollar cooperation with Zhang Jindong without meeting him. Were he crazy or was he stupid?
Or rather, this was simply fake news.
But Li Dong said it in front of so many people. How could it be fake news?
Shen Qian had a stomach full of questions but didn't know where to start. Li Dong smiled and said, "Don't rush, just listen to me slowly."
"Because of the association, I talked to Old Zhang a few times. He did not reject our association. Because he did not reject it, we talked more. After all, he is a capable man and we are from the same hometown. As we talked, we had to talk about business. "
"We are both in the chain business. The day before yesterday, Old Zhang unintentionally complained that I was doing better than him. He is being oppressed by Gome. Being the number two for a long time is frustrating. "
"Now that this guy mentioned it, I'm starting to get interested."
"Then, as we talked, I said it would be good for us to cooperate. Other than being a hypermarket, Faraway Supermarket mainly does supermarkets. It does not have much conflict with their business. If we cooperate, both sides will benefit, and we can also gather popularity at the same time. "
"Then … I don't know what happened."
After Li Dong finished, Shen Qian said with disgust, "Tell the truth. Don't omit the important process. I know you!"
Li Dong chuckled dryly and raised his eyebrows. "Anyway, that's about it."
"Then let me ask you. Why did you choose Beijing and Tianjin?"
"Because we don't have a market there. Naturally, we have to open up a new market."
Shen Qian snorted. "What about the money? You said that the cooperation is about to start. Far away, you are in debt. Where did you get the money? Did you sell your shares? "
"More or less. Anyway, the money is not a one-time investment."
"Li Dong, don't you trust me?" Shen Qian didn't ask about the business anymore, but suddenly asked.
Li Dong hurriedly said, "It's nothing."
"Okay, then tell me the truth. I'm not forcing you. This cooperation is too strange. It's too simple. It's like a joke. I can't let you do as you please! "
Hearing that, Li Dong hesitated slightly.
But soon, Li Dong's face showed a touch of relief. He opened the window, lit a cigarette, and took a puff.
Li Dong exhaled the smoke and whispered, "It's not that simple. In fact, I don't plan to pay for this cooperation."
Shen Qian frowned and did not speak.
Li Dong said with a smile, "Old Zhang said that he can pay. Just treat it as a loan to us. Of course, it's not that we don't pay. It's just a time difference. They will invest all the money in the early stage and we will invest in the later stage. That is to say, when I get the money, it will be at least half a year later. "
"Is he stupid?" Shen Qian was speechless.
"Of course not."
"Then why?"
"Because I have channels. Channels of information, understand? Information in the business world is money. I told him that Gome will be in trouble soon. At this time, it's the best time for us to go in and seize territory. "
The corner of Shen Qian's mouth twitched. After a while, she said, "Zhang Jindong believed it? Has he been suppressed to the point of insanity recently? "
Li Dong smiled. "Of course he didn't believe it. If he did, he would be a fool. But I used my head to guarantee that there was no problem with the information. That's why he believed it. "
"Don't talk nonsense. Tell the truth. How did you convince him?"
Apart from this reason, Shen Qian could not think of any other reason why two people who had not even met each other could negotiate a multibillion-dollar cooperation.
Zhang Jindong might only dare to take this gamble if the news of Gome's trouble was confirmed.
In the business world, many people were gamblers.
And the more successful they were, the more gamblers they were. Of course, they did not gamble without confidence.
Generally, when they were more than half confident, they would take a gamble. Otherwise, when the news was confirmed, they would miss a good opportunity.
Li Dong took another drag of his cigarette. After a while, he said, "I will sign a VAM agreement with him."
"VAM agreement?"
"Yes. Words without proof. Naturally, he won't believe it. Even if I used my head to guarantee it, he won't believe it. So, we can only use the VAM agreement. "
"What's the agreement?" Shen Qian hurriedly asked.
Li Dong narrowed his eyes and said, "In three years, if Suning cannot occupy half of the market share in Beijing and Tianjin, I lose, and all the businesses in Beijing and Tianjin will belong to him."
"You are crazy!"
Shen Qian looked at him in disbelief. This guy is really crazy!
Occupy half of the market share in Gome's nest in three years? What is he thinking?
Is this possible?
Let's not talk about whether Li Dong's news about Gome's trouble is true or not. Even if something happens, Suning wants to occupy half of the market. This is not a big possibility.
Shen Qian gasped and said, "Even if we pay in the future, it will be more than a billion. You want to bet more than a billion on an unknown future?"
Li Dong did not speak. Shen Qian panted and continued, "What if we win?"
"Win? If we win, it means we have succeeded. We can take the opportunity to expand. "
"You …" Shen Qian broke down. "You mean, if you lose, you will lose more than a billion? If you win, other than helping us pay in advance, Suning will not lose anything? "
"Yes."
"Li Dong, I want to kill someone! If I am Zhang Jindong, I will also do it! No matter if he wins or loses, it means he really occupies half of the market share. If he wins, it will be even more profitable. The billions will belong to someone else! "
"And you, if you win, it will be fine. But if you lose, you will lose everything!"
Li Dong said helplessly, "I have no choice. Otherwise, they will not agree."
"Then why are you in such a hurry to enter Beijing and Tianjin? Will you die if you slow down? "Shen Qian scolded angrily.
Li Dong said with grievance, "I have to be in a hurry. Really, my development speed is limited. So far away, I really can't beat others. Now, let's borrow the chicken to lay the eggs first. If we really lose three years later, then I will admit it. "
"Admit your head!"
Shen Qian was angry. Can such a VAM agreement still be called a VAM agreement?
Li Dong was obviously trying to find a doctor in a desperate situation, acting recklessly!
Li Dong was helpless. There were some things that he couldn't say. As for what he said about Gome being in trouble, Li Dong was just saying it casually.
He naturally knew it was true, but Zhang Jindong and Shen Qian definitely wouldn't believe it.
Therefore, Li Dong didn't mention this to others. He just mentioned it to Shen Qian.
However, the VAM agreement with Suning was real. When Li Dong mentioned this, Zhang Jindong's jaw almost dropped.
If he hadn't confirmed that Li Dong was the head of Far away, he would have suspected that he was being harassed by a scammer.
Finally, after confirming Li Dong's identity, plus Li Dong said that he would sign the agreement when the association was established, Zhang Jindong almost agreed without thinking.
Nonsense, why wouldn't he agree to such a good thing?
Not to mention that he was also preparing to expand. Even if he didn't prepare to expand, he had to expand now.
Li Dong dared to bet a billion once. What else did he not dare to do?
If he succeeded, then everything would be fine. Both sides would not lose money.
If he failed, it was fine. Anyway, what Li Dong lost to him was enough to make up for the loss of the investment.
This kind of good thing to spend other people's money to expand, he would be a fool not to agree.
Of course, he didn't think that Li Dong was a fool. He just felt that Li Dong was a gambler.
He was so gambler that he was ashamed of himself. If it was him, let's not talk about whether the group would approve it. Even if it was approved, he might not dare to do it.
Shen Qian sulked for a while. After a while, she said, "Cancel the agreement. Anyway, you haven't signed the contract yet. No cooperation!"
Li Dong muttered, "I have already announced it, and you want me to cancel it?"
"Okay! I was wondering why you announced it in advance. You are trying to shut our mouths, right? "
Shen Qian said angrily, "You also know that no one will agree to this. Now that you announced it in advance, is it so that no one can refuse?"
"But don't you think that you are too crazy? Was billions of dollars so worthless? Is the time so urgent that you can't even wait for one or two years? "
"Yes, I can't wait any longer." Li Dong rubbed his temples and said, "I can't wait any longer. My pace is too slow now. I haven't even completed the layout in the East China region. Looking at the situation, it will take at least one or two years to complete the layout in East China. If this goes on, we can't complete the layout in the whole country without five or six years. Five or six years, I can't wait. "
"You!"
Shen Qian wanted to scold him a few times. Seeing his melancholy look, she couldn't help but soften in the end and couldn't say anything.
