Chen Lang's early arrival made Li Dong overjoyed.
At this moment, he desperately needed someone who could control the overall situation to stabilize the situation.
The battle with the Sunan could break out at any moment. He had to stay in the headquarters, Yuan Chengdao was in charge of logistics, and Sun Tao was in charge of defending the local market.
At this time, Li Dong was really worried about counting on Zhang Mingduo to be in charge of this battle.
He was well aware of Zhang Mingduo's ability.
During peaceful times, Zhang Mingduo would be in charge of expanding and defending. But now was not the time.
The Sunan had a pack of wolves watching them. If Zhang Mingduo went to take charge, he would most likely be torn apart by the wolves.
Although Chen Lang did not know much about Far away's business, Ma Jialiang was his old friend. The two had worked together for so many years and fought with each other. In most cases, Chen Lang won.
At this time, Chen Lang going to deal with Ma Jialiang was the best choice.
…
Far away building.
Li Dong personally came out to welcome Chen Lang. This was definitely the first time in a few years that he had received such courtesy.
But at this time, no one had any objections. Far away was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. In the situation where they lacked a vanguard general, Chen Lang's arrival could solve a lot of problems.
Su Guo was like a tiger watching its prey. If the Sunan were to be finished, the entire Far away would be implicated.
The crisis of Li Dong running out of cash was finally reflected. If not for this, Chen Lang would not be so important.
If they had sufficient funds, even if the Sunan were to be defeated, they would still have a way out.
But now, if the Sunan were to be defeated, Far away would die an ugly death.
At 11 in the morning, Chen Lang's car stopped in front of the Far away building.
When he saw Li Dong downstairs, Chen Lang hurriedly walked over and said from more than ten meters away, "Chairman!"
Li Dong smiled and reached out to shake his hand. Then he turned around and introduced, "This is Mr. Yuan, the CEO of the group."
Chen Lang extended his hand and shook hands with Yuan Chengdao. He lowered his posture and said passionately, "Nice to meet you, Director Yuan. I've long heard of your great name. Now that I've met you, I know that you live up to your reputation."
Yuan Chengdao also smiled and said, "President Chen, you flatter me. In the future, we will all be family. President Chen, you don't have to be so polite."
After exchanging a few words, Li Dong continued, "This is Mr. Zhang, the president of the East China District."
"Hello, Mr Zhang!"
Zhang Mingduo quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, President Chen. I heard that you were coming to Far away. We have been looking forward to seeing you. Finally, you are here."
As the group's COO, Chen Lang's status was naturally above Zhang Mingduo's.
Moreover, Chen Lang was also a senior in the retail industry. Naturally, Zhang Mingduo had to lower his position.
At this time, Li Dong had high expectations for Chen Lang. Before Chen Lang failed, Zhang Mingduo had no intention of competing with him, even if Chen Lang would replace him to host the Sunan competition.
After exchanging a few words, Li Dong said, "The group has prepared a welcoming banquet for you. Let's have a good drink at noon!"
Chen Lang quickly said, "Chairman, you're too polite. Let's just have a simple lunch. I still want to understand the group's situation in the afternoon."
Li Dong smiled and said, "There's no rush. There are things to do and meals to eat. It's just a minor ailment. We've been through a lot, so there's still time for a meal. "
Hearing Li Dong say this, Chen Lang couldn't refuse anymore.
It was almost lunchtime, so everyone went to the cafeteria.
Since Faraway Group built its own cafeteria, the employees generally chose to eat in the cafeteria. Li Dong and the others were no exception.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, the person in charge of the cafeteria came out early. As soon as he saw everyone, he greeted, "Hello, Chairman, hello, CEO Yuan …"
Li Dong waved his hand and said, "Is the food and wine ready? Today, CEO Chen is new here. Let's show him what we're made of and let him taste the taste of our hometown food. "
The chubby person in charge of the cafeteria quickly smiled and said, "It's all ready. Chairman, don't worry. It's all farm dishes. Everyone will definitely be satisfied."
"That's good. Let's go upstairs."
…
The lunch was indeed delicious, and Chen Lang was also very satisfied with it.
After three rounds of drinking, Chen Lang still didn't forget about business. He asked, "Chairman, can you take the time to tell me the situation now?"
Li Dong didn't rush to speak. He looked at Zhang Mingduo and said, "Old Zhang, tell CEO Chen the general situation first."
Zhang Mingduo nodded and said, "Then I will briefly say a few words. I will have someone send the documents to CEO Chen later.
The situation is like this. Since a week ago, Su Guo has stopped cooperating with us.
Moreover, Su Guo has targeted us by besieging us. They have added a number of convenience stores and community stores near Times Mall regardless of the cost.
These small stores operated very quickly. Even before the renovation was carried out, Su Guo had already set up the platform in advance.
And because the convenience store's operating cost is lower than ours, they should be fighting a price war with us if nothing goes wrong.
Su Guo has always done this. Previously, it was the same for foreign retail companies. It was the same for small and medium-sized retail companies.
Although the method is old-fashioned, I have to say that they are very familiar with this trick.
In addition to besieging and price war, they continue to divide the middle and low-level management Far away …
Also, they raised the local flag. We are also at a disadvantage on this point.
Another thing is … "
Zhang Mingduo roughly explained the situation on Sunan's side. Chen Lang nodded and said, "General Manager Ma has always been like this. Plus, if you want to defeat your opponent in a short period of time, these old-fashioned methods are the most effective."
Although the price war was not the only business strategy, many strategies needed time to operate.
If you want to make Far away show signs of defeat in a short period of time, it is naturally the most effective to compete with your family's assets.
Su Guo has been operating for many years. Coupled with the support of Huarun Real Estate, Ma Jialiang has madly invested regardless of the cost. Naturally, he also wants to suppress Far away in a short period of time.
Otherwise, if it drags on for too long, Su Guo will not be able to afford it.
After talking about Su Guo, Chen Lang asked, "What about our side?"
"We …"
Zhang Mingduo glanced at Li Dong. Seeing him nod, he said, "We have also made countermeasures on our side. However, because our scale and strength on Sunan's side are not as good as Su Guo's, we are at a disadvantage.
If it is a price war, we can also accept it. Tengxiang Group is willing to provide us with the initial supply.
However, if it drags on for too long, Tengxiang Group will not be able to hold on, and we will have to rely on ourselves.
In addition, what I am most worried about is the wolf pack strategy. They have taken down the small shops around us and surrounded us. In this way, we will be seriously divided, and we will not be able to make ends meet.
If we can't sell our goods and have no customers, this situation will only become more and more serious.
Unless we also use this method to besiege Su Guo, both sides will fight a war of attrition, but … "
Zhang Mingduo was embarrassed to continue, but they do not have the money.
This kind of investment is not a small amount, and it is not worth it.
In the end, after defeating Su Guo, what about these small shops that were taken down in a hurry?
As for Su Guo, they have money and are not afraid of this. In addition, they have more channels in the local area than Far away. Even if these small shops become useless in the end, they can quickly dispose of them, and the recovery rate is higher than Far away.
Zhang Mingduo did not say anything, but Li Dong did not mind. He continued, "We do not have the money. Although I also want to compete with Su Guo in attrition, I am afraid Far away will not be able to hold on."
"This …"
Although Chen Lang had already expected this, he still felt a headache at the moment.
No money, no money is the fundamental problem!
If they have the money, they can use all their capital to get rid of Su Guo. Huarun will not support Su Guo unlimitedly.
After thinking about it, Chen Lang probed, "How much money can the group provide for the Sunan this time?"
Li Dong coughed lightly and said, "The main thing is Tengxiang. They are willing to provide 300 million yuan of goods in the early stage. This money is not in a hurry to return. The other thing is logistics. The Jiangbei distribution center is on standby at any time to provide priority service for the Sunan … "
The more Chen Lang listened, the more his heart trembled. He said, "What about cash flow?"
"It should not be a problem to gather one or two hundred million yuan, right?" Li Dong was also not too sure. He thought about it and said, "After all, we are not only investing in the Sunan. Everyone is also eyeing other places. If we spend too much money in the Sunan, there will be emptiness in other places, which will be more troublesome. "
At this time, the disadvantages of expanding Far Away appeared. There were too many competitors.
Once they spend too much money in the Sunan, other companies will definitely know that Far Away has no funds. After all, Far Away has not been established for long.
However, if they do not spend money and let the Sunan fail, the same result may be worse.
In any case, it will be troublesome to do anything at this time. The best way is to raise a large amount of money.
However, whether it is a bank loan or selling land, it will take time. Far Away is also short of time.
Far Away will not be able to get a loan and sell land at this juncture. Won't they reveal their background? People will be able to see it clearly.
"One or two hundred million …"
Chen Lang wanted to cry but had no tears. If one or two hundred million can defeat the local Su Guo, then Su Guo is too worthless.
He knew Su Guo's situation very well. As the head of Huarun Huarun's retail department, Su Guo's side is of utmost importance. He knows Su Guo's strength too well.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Lang said, "At the end of the day, the strength of Huarun Huarun can't compare to Su Guo. They lack scale and funds. In this situation, it will be very difficult to defeat Su Guo. At most, we can maintain a draw. If the two sides continue to fight, it will depend on who can hold on first. At present, it seems that we will be the first to fall. "
Yuan Chengdao and the others did not say anything. Wasn't it obvious?
Chen Lang's words were obviously nonsense. If they could defeat Su Guo, they would not need to wait for Chen Lang to make a decision.
Seeing everyone's attitude, Chen Lang was not annoyed. He smiled and continued, "But even if we maintain a draw, it will not benefit us. We will lose a lot of money for no reason. This kind of deal is not worth it. "
When Li Dong heard this, his eyes moved. He said, "So, Mr. Chen has other ideas?"
"If, and I mean if, we can defeat Su Guo this time, Huarun Huarun will lose an arm and will no longer be able to compete with us in the Huarun market. At that time, we will take advantage of this opportunity to take over the entire Huarun market. Far away will be the biggest … "
Everyone looked helpless. He was still dreaming at this time. Did this guy use this kind of bragging to gain Li Dong's trust and reliance?
Li Dong was not in a hurry. He smiled and asked, "Then how can we defeat Su Guo? Let me say this first. I really can't take out much money right now. "
"Then after half a year, after a year, will the group be able to take out the money?"
"That's hard to say, but the group should have some savings by then, and it will be easy to get a loan at that time."
"That's good."
Chen Lang breathed a sigh of relief. If they could not take out the money, then Far away would be in big trouble.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for the follow-up, Chen Lang did not say much. Instead, he kept them in suspense. "I haven't thought through this matter yet. How about this, I will look at the information later and confirm the plan in two days. What do you think, Chairman?"
"Yes, this matter can't be rushed."
Li Dong also knew that the probability of making a mistake in a hurry was high, so he nodded and said, "Take it slowly. Far away will not be unable to hold on for a month or two."
Moreover, Chen Lang did not know the whole situation very well. Li Dong did not dare to rest assured if he came up with an idea rashly.
After that, everyone did not continue this topic and continued to drink and eat.
After the banquet was over, Chen Lang approached Li Dong and said, "Chairman, I want to talk to you alone later."
Li Dong's eyes flashed, and he nodded and said, "Okay, you can come to my house when you have time."
Chen Lang laughed and said hello to Li Dong, then he chatted with Zhang Mingduo next to him.
