The reporters asked a few more questions, and Li Dong answered them properly.
Logically speaking, there had been enough revelations today, and the reporters should have been satisfied.
However, the reporters from Jiangbei still felt a little uncomfortable. They felt that something was not right.
After a while, everyone finally reacted. Something was not right!
They were used to Li Dong's bragging. Now that Li Dong was not bragging, it was no wonder they felt that something was not right.
Thinking of this, a reporter immediately asked, "General Manager Li, do you think that the cooperation between Far Away and Suning can defeat the alliance of the two US countries?"
"The alliance of the two US countries?"
"It's the alliance between Gome and Wumart."
Li Dong pursed his lips and said, "Who told you that Gome and Wumart are working together?"
The reporter who asked the question laughed and said, "Everyone said that, and we also think that the possibility is very high. General Manager Li, let's not talk about whether they are working together or not. Do you think that Far Away can achieve a strategic success in the North China market? "
Li Dong glanced at him and said in amusement, "So you guys are forcing me to brag a little, right?"
Everyone laughed when they heard that.
The reporter who asked the question said, "General Manager Li, this is not your style. How is it bragging? Didn't most of the things you said before succeed? You are different from others. Others might not be able to do what they say, but you can definitely do what you say. "
Li Dong laughed and said, "Fine, just based on what you said, I really have to brag a little today!"
Everyone could not help but laugh. Even Zhang Jindong, who was beside him, could not help but laugh.
Li Dong said that he was bragging, but he did not really dare to brag.
After pondering for a while, Li Dong said, "Since Far Away and Suning are entering the North China market, they definitely want to succeed. Suning's target is Gome. After all, CEO Huang has been sitting on Mr. Zhang's head for a long time. This time, he has to retaliate, right? I won't help Mr. Zhang set his goal. Anyway, that's just how it is. Far away, Wumart is not the only competitor in Far away. There are many supermarket chains in North China, and there are also many well-known foreign chain companies. So far away, I'm new here, so I need to keep a low profile. I've set a small goal for myself. Within three years, I'll occupy 30% of the supermarket market in Beijing and Tianjin. "
"30% of the market!"
"Small target?"
"…"
The crowd burst into an uproar, and then many people could not help but have black lines on their faces.
Is this what you mean by being low-key?
This is the small goal you were talking about?
The members of the Jiangbei Mutual Aid Association were helpless. No matter how they looked at it, their president didn't seem very reliable.
Even Zhang Jindong could not help but look at Li Dong. Seeing that this guy did not seem to be joking, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Originally, when Li Dong bet that Suning could occupy more than 50% of the market in Beijing and Tianjin, Zhang Jindong already felt that this guy was crazy.
Unexpectedly, he was even crazier!
50% of the home appliance market sounded more than 30%, but in fact, it was the opposite.
Currently, in the home appliance chain industry in Beijing and Tianjin, other than Gome, there were not many competitive home appliance companies.
In Beijing, the strong one would probably be Dazhong. However, Suning was recently negotiating with Dazhong about an acquisition.
Once the acquisition was successful, it was not impossible to occupy 50% of the home appliance market in Beijing and Tianjin.
Even if the acquisition failed, 50% might be a little difficult. However, in Zhang Jindong's opinion, if he did not care about the capital, 30% should be in the bag.
Of course, this was the home appliance chain.
But what about the supermarket chain?
Far away's market share in Beijing and Tianjin was zero, and there was no need to talk about the local small and medium-sized supermarkets in Beijing and Tianjin.
Just talking about the bigger and more well-known companies.
Wumart was definitely one of them, followed by Home World, and then Kyokelon. These companies were also local companies, but they were already considered as well-known companies in the country.
Other than these local companies, there were also foreign or joint ventures such as Carrefour and RT-Mart that had a higher market share in Beijing and Tianjin.
Another one was the Bailian Group that had entered the North China region, and the China Resources Group that was in the process of setting up the North China region.
Compared to the few home appliance chain companies, the supermarket chain was the real competition.
In this case, Li Dong actually said that he would occupy more than 30% of the market in Beijing and Tianjin within 3 years. If this was not bragging, then what was?
What was the concept of 30%? Even if the small and medium-sized supermarkets did not occupy a lot of market share, they should at least occupy more than 10%.
And Li Dong said 30%, which meant that the other large chain companies only occupied 60% of the market.
Was he not afraid of the wind cutting his tongue?
Everyone was stunned by him. Li Dong smiled and said, "Sorry for making a fool of myself. Everyone wanted me to say a few words, and I was just following everyone's instructions. Besides, it's just a goal. Don't take it seriously. Anyway, there's no tax for bragging these days. "
It would have been better if he did not say it. Once he said it, everyone was even more speechless.
Seeing that the reporters were dumbfounded and forgot to ask questions, Li Dong smiled and said, "Okay, that's all for today. Everyone, please help me promote. As the saying goes, before the troops move, the food and fodder comes first. Although Far away and Suning haven't entered the market yet, it's good for everyone to help us become famous. If it's effective, I'll give everyone a big bonus. "
Everyone was amused again. Many people echoed, "General Manager Li, don't worry. We'll help you promote it tomorrow."
"Thank you, everyone."
Li Dong smiled and cupped his hands, then directly left the stage.
…
When he got off the stage, Zhang Jindong could not help but ask, "Little brother, were you serious just now?"
Li Dong said matter-of-factly, "Of course I was serious. But brother, don't take it too seriously. I've already said that a goal is a goal. As for whether it can be achieved or not, who will remember it three years later. "
"You …"
Zhang Jindong wanted to say a few words, but he did not know what to say.
After a while, Zhang Jindong shook his head and laughed. "Okay, then I won't say anything. Brother, I wish you success in advance!"
"Same here. If we don't take down Old Huang this time, we'll really be bragging."
Zhang Jindong smiled bitterly. I'm such a low-key person, but in the end, you bragged about me. In the end, not only did you not succeed, but I'm also the scapegoat?
Zhang Jindong could not be bothered with this matter. The smile on his face faded a little, and he said seriously, "Little brother, I originally wanted to stay in Jiangbei for a few more days and talk to you about O2O. But there's too much work at the company, and I have to rush back to deal with it. Brother, I have to leave soon. Let's part ways here! "
Li Dong was not too surprised. He nodded lightly and said, "Everyone is busy. Separation is the norm in the business world. Brother Zhang, take care. If there's a chance, I'll visit you in Jinling. "
"Anytime! If you come, I'll welcome you with open arms! "
The two of them shook hands firmly and hugged each other. Zhang Jindong then turned around and left with his men.
After he left, Li Dong also started to get busy.
After sending off the officials who came to attend the ceremony and the businessmen who came to support, the association members had a small meeting to get to know each other.
After the meeting, Li Dong was about to leave, but Hu Ming stopped him and asked, "Are you busy?"
"I'm fine. What's the matter, Director Hu?"
"Just a few words. It won't take up too much of your time."
"Go ahead. I'm listening."
Hu Ming thought for a while and looked at Hsu Shengzhe and his men. He thought for a while and asked, "Are you really not going to participate in the alliance that Hsu Shengzhe started?"
"Forget it. I've been too busy recently. Far away, I don't have time for this."
"I think this is actually quite beneficial to you. If you don't participate, Hsu Shengzhe will have no opponents."
Li Dong smiled and said, "Don't I still have you, Director Hu?"
Hu Ming shook his head and said, "If you don't participate, I'm not going to participate either. Xu Shengzhe's thoughts were there for all to see. Originally, I was thinking that the two of you can keep each other in check and see if everyone can get some benefits. Now that you're gone, he'll be the only one. There's no point in participating now. "
Li Dong was speechless when he heard that. So that's what you old foxes are thinking.
No wonder all of you agreed so readily before, but now you're all making excuses.
He knew these people were not easy to deal with. Hsu Shengzhe had underestimated these old foxes.
If Hu Ming backed out, Ji Yuanzhong, that old fox, would most likely back out too.
Once the two of them left, Hsu Shengzhe wouldn't be able to do anything.
There were only two or three kittens left. Even if Long Hua could swallow them, it wouldn't be enough.
Li Dong looked sympathetically at Hsu Shengzhe, who was still talking to someone not far away. This guy must have gone overboard this time.
I told you I, Li Dong, am very important, but you didn't believe me.
Li Dong was secretly pleased with himself for a while. Hu Ming asked again. "General Manager Li, I heard that the movie you and Xiaorui are investing in is going to be released soon?"
Li Dong nodded. "Soon. It's almost March. This is a small investment, and we have to miss the May 1st primetime slot. We don't want to clash with other blockbusters. The movie should be released in April at the latest. "
There were good and bad primetime slots, and the probability of a dark horse was high.
However, Li Dong did not have high hopes for Zhang Meng's movie. If it entered the May 1st primetime slot, it was very likely that it would fail.
Since that was the case, he might as well play it safe and release it in March or April.
Li Dong did not expect to make a lot of money, and it didn't matter if he could break even. However, Hu Xiaorui had invested a lot of energy into it, and Li Dong did not want the movie to fail.
Hu Ming nodded and said with a smile, "Then remember to inform me when it's released. I will find some friends to support it."
Li Dong looked at him strangely. What is this old fox trying to say?
Hu Xiaorui is his daughter. Does he need to ask me if the movie will be released or not? Does he need to inform him when it will be released?
Li Dong guessed his intentions, but Hu Ming seemed to really want to chat a little.
After talking about the movie, Hu Ming smiled and said, "General Manager Li, do what you need to do. I'll leave first. Let's have a meal together next time."
"Director Hu, you're welcome."
"It's fine. It's just a few days. Xiaorui's mother will come back from Beijing to visit Xiaorui. We have known each other for a while, and you are one of Xiaorui's few friends. Let's get to know each other."
As Hu Ming spoke, he looked at the time and said, "No, I still have something to do here. I'll leave first. General Manager Li, let's talk next time."
Li Dong stretched out his hand and wanted to speak, but he saw this guy run out of the door.
Li Dong's mouth twitched. What does this old fox want?
Hu Xiaorui's mother is back, and he needs to eat with me?
If it was in the past, Li Dong thought that this old fox must want to recruit him as a son-in-law.
But now, Li Dong did not dare to take it seriously.
This old guy had a lot of thoughts in his mind. Not to mention that his daughter could not get married, even if she could not get married, he would not be in such a hurry.
Then why did he beat around the bush to find me for a meal?
Li Dong thought for a while, but he really did not understand why Hu Ming looked for him.
Since he could not understand, then he would not think about it.
Anyway, he was not afraid that Hu Ming would eat him up. Hu Ming had said that he would treat him to a meal more than once or twice, but this old fox had not fulfilled his promise.
After deceiving him so many times, if Hu Ming really wanted to treat him this time, then he would treat him to a meal.
Just as he was thinking, his phone rang.
Li Dong picked up the phone and looked at it. He was slightly suspicious and picked up the phone.
After a few words were exchanged on the other side of the phone, Li Dong's expression changed. He hung up the phone and hurried out.
