Is five to six years long?
The answer is different for different people.
But for Li Dong, five to six years is too long!
Now it is 2007. If he spends five to six years to complete the supermarket's nationwide deployment, it will be around 13 years.
Completing the deployment does not mean he has a firm foothold.
Stabilize it for another one or two years. Just one supermarket alone. Once the nationwide deployment is completed, it will be time for Li Dong's rebirth.
At this time, e-commerce will have a huge impact on the physical industry. Just as Li Dong stabilizes the situation, he will have to face a huge impact.
Without the help of Clairvoyance, would he be able to get through this?
The outcome is hard to predict, but the risk is high.
Li Dong does not dare to take the risk. So, he can only hurry up and stabilize Far away's distribution.
Far Away can only focus on one aspect due to the lack of funds and manpower.
Of course, the supermarket is the main focus, and the rest is secondary.
Only by completing the supermarket's distribution as soon as possible, then expanding in e-commerce, real estate, and logistics. Before 16 years, Far Away's major industries will be able to keep pace with each other. By then, Li Dong will not have to worry.
So, he set a goal for himself. Within three years, he must complete the supermarket's overall layout.
At that time, it will only be 10 years. There is still six to seven years left for Li Dong to upgrade his industries. This time is more than enough.
But these are Li Dong's own thoughts. It is not good to tell others, and it is not easy to explain.
Therefore, everyone might not be able to understand his urgency, but that didn't mean that Li Dong wouldn't do it.
It was precisely because of this that the Crazy Bet Agreement was formed.
In fact, to Li Dong, this agreement is not crazy.
In 2008, Old Huang was arrested. After that, Suning quickly got rid of the title of second place and rose rapidly.
Of course, until Li Dong's rebirth, Suning did not even have half of the market share in the Beijing-Tianjin region.
Then why does Li Dong still dare to bet?
Because it is only 2007!
In Feng Yu's previous life, at this time, Suning was heavily suppressed and did not enter the Beijing-Tianjin market. Even if they did enter, it was only a small scale probe.
Because of this, Suning missed the best opportunity.
After all, when Old Huang went in, although Gome was in a mess, the chaos didn't last for too long. Such a small amount of time wasn't enough for Suning to complete the rearrangement.
But now that he had made arrangements a few years in advance, and the scale of the investment was not small, even if he was suppressed, he could still occupy some of the market.
Once Gome was in a mess, it would be time to counterattack.
Suning, who had laid a solid foundation against Gome without Old Huang, wouldn't dare to say that they could crush Zhang Jindong, but it wouldn't be a big problem to snatch about half of the market. After all, Zhang Jindong wasn't weak.
If Zhang Jindong couldn't seize this opportunity, then Li Dong could only say that this guy was too stupid.
It was better to give up than to cooperate with a stupid partner. Failure was failure.
These were all Li Dong's thoughts. He felt that the possibility of him losing this agreement was still very small.
But in the eyes of outsiders, including Zhang Jindong himself, they all felt that Li Dong was a madman.
This agreement, in their eyes, was the embodiment of Li Dong's madness.
Using more than a billion as a bet was crazy and unwise for any company, not to mention when the situation was not in their favor.
No one understood, including Shen Qian at this time.
Although she didn't understand, when she saw Li Dong's eyes, Shen Qian's heart suddenly softened.
She had long known that Li Dong was lonely.
He was so lonely that no one understood him and no one supported him.
Just like this cooperation with Suning, Li Dong didn't have to announce it in advance, but he still did it.
Why?
Because within the group, almost no one would agree to such a crazy move.
In fact, whether others agreed or not, Li Dong didn't need to care at all, because Far Away belonged to him.
But Li Dong seemed to not care, in fact, he still compromised. He announced it in advance to make this an established reality, so that all the employees Far Away could understand him and support him.
At this time, if others didn't support him, should she put pressure on him?
After thinking about this, Shen Qian's expression softened. After a moment of silence, she said softly, "Although I don't understand why you are so anxious, since you want to do it, then do it. Do what you want to do, as long as you are happy. "
Li Dong glanced at her and suddenly laughed.
Shen Qian also laughed. Perhaps the two of them didn't know why they laughed, but at this moment, they were laughing so happily.
After laughing for a while, Shen Qian sighed softly and said, "I support you, but there are some things I have to remind you. North China is not like East China. The reason why East China can develop smoothly Far Away is because Jiangbei is part of East China. The nearby provinces don't treat you as an outsider.
In their view, Jiangbei's enterprises are East China's enterprises, so you won't encounter any obstacles.
But in North China, especially the Beijing-Tianjin area, the pressure of competition is very high.
You said that something happened to Gome, but this is only your personal statement. With Gome, our cooperation with Suning is destined to not be so smooth.
In addition, Suning has Gome as an opponent, but we also have opponents. Whether it is Wumart, Keiko, Home World, or Carrefour, they have already divided the Beijing-Tianjin retail market.
If we enter the market, it will definitely be difficult, so whether we can gain a foothold or not, it is not as easy as you think. "
Li Dong nodded first, then said with a serious expression, "Not only these few, but also China Resources."
"China Resources?"
Shen Qian was puzzled, "China Resources' strength in Beijing-Tianjin is not too strong. They may be our opponent in East China, but in Beijing-Tianjin …"
"China Resources will soon acquire Home World."
Shen Qian was shocked and quickly said, "Really?"
"Really."
"This!"
Shen Qian suddenly didn't know what to say. What is this?
There was one less wolf, but one more ferocious tiger.
Home World is also a wall in front of Far Away, but it is also the door to Beijing. But no matter how strong Home World is, in their eyes, they can still be enemies.
However, if Home World is acquired by China Resources, it will not be so easy to deal with.
Seeing Shen Qian's worried face, Li Dong smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, China Resources is actually in a similar situation as us. They also want to enter North China, and we are all considered outsiders. In fact, this matter may be beneficial to us. After all, in the eyes of the major retail groups in North China, China Resources is ten times more dangerous than us. With China Resources in the front, everyone's focus must be on them. We may be in a better situation if we hitch a ride with them. "
Listening to Li Dong, Shen Qian first breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Li Dong suspiciously and said, "Do you have any channels that I don't know?"
She thought that she knew Li Dong quite well, and she also had a general understanding of Li Dong's network.
But sometimes Li Dong seemed to receive a lot of news in advance, such as the acquisition of Time, Gome was about to be in trouble, and now China Resources' acquisition of Home World.
These things are all trade secrets. Before the other party's group makes it public, generally, only a few people know, and even within their own group, it is confidential.
But now, Li Dong was far away in Jiangbei, but he knew these things clearly. Shen Qian had to suspect that he had his own secret channels.
Li Dong heard the words and laughed, "I just made a few friends. I won't tell you about this. After all, some things are not good to say to others."
Hearing him say this, Shen Qian didn't ask further.
At Li Dong's level, it is normal to make a few friends with extraordinary backgrounds.
Moreover, she wasn't with Li Dong 24 hours a day, and there was no need for Li Dong to tell her about a few private friends.
Then the two talked about business matters. When it was almost ten o 'clock, when the staff in the auditorium came out one after another, Shen Qian suddenly hesitated and said, "Li Dong, how about I …"
Li Dong stared at her and didn't speak.
Shen Qian hesitated for a while, but finally shook her head and didn't continue.
She didn't say it, but Li Dong smiled and said, "You want me to ask the Shen Group for help?"
"Yes."
Shen Qian didn't deny it. After all, in her opinion, Suning and Far away at this time were not very competitive in the Beijing-Tianjin area.
As an established conglomerate in Beijing, the Shen Corporation was quite powerful in the Beijing-Tianjin area.
If the Shen Group helped, plus the three groups of Suning and Far away, it would be much less difficult for Far away to gain a foothold in Beijing-Tianjin.
However, before Li Dong had always been against cooperating with the Shen Group, so Shen Qian was also afraid that he would think too much.
Seeing Shen Qian looking at him, Li Dong laughed and said, "It's not that I don't want to ask the Shen Group for help, but the key is, will they be willing? Your thoughts always represent yourself, not the entire Shen Group. "
"Tell me, will the Shen Group be willing to help us? As for cooperation, the Shen Group is engaged in the hotel and tourism industry, which is not very helpful to us. We don't have much business cooperation, and even if we do, the benefits may not meet their requirements. So in my opinion, the cooperation is not very promising, and the help it brings is not very big. And the Shen Group's network of connections is their own. Why should they let us use a single business cooperation? So don't worry about this. It's not that I'm against it, but the effect may not be as good as you think. "
Listening to Li Dong's analysis, Shen Qian thought about it and didn't say anything.
As Li Dong said, the Shen Group was the Shen Group, and Shen Qian was Shen Qian.
The Shen Group might not do what she was thinking. Even if her mother's position in the Shen Group was not ordinary, the outcome would be the same.
At this time, it was more like a dream to expect the Shen Group to help them for free.
As a business family, the people in the Shen family were not good people.
After saying these things, Li Dong looked at the time and said, "Let's not talk about this. It's getting late. I'll send you back."
"No need. You're tired today. Go back and rest first."
"Let me send you."
Li Dong insisted, and Shen Qian did not argue and agreed with a smile.
