Li Dong didn't mention surpassing Wal-Mart to many people.
Shouting this slogan would only make people laugh.
You can't even be number one in the country, and you want to be number one in the world? That's not the way to brag.
In 2007, Hua Xia's top 500 companies, PetroChina, had a revenue of one trillion RMB.
Among the retail groups, Bailian Group had a revenue of 150 billion.
China Resources had a revenue of 100 billion.
Of course, this wasn't just the retail side, but the performance of the entire group.
Others such as Gome had a revenue of close to 100 billion, Suning had more than 60 billion, and Wumart had more than 20 billion …
The 80 billion Li Dong said was only the estimated revenue for next year. In fact, when the list was released in July, it hadn't reached this level yet.
At that time, the foreign stores hadn't opened, and Sunan didn't take all of them. So far was tied with Wumart when the revenue was calculated.
Now, Wumart had been left far behind.
In 2008, Li Dong's targets were Bailian, China Resources, Gome, and Suning.
These four were currently the largest retail groups in the country. If he could surpass them So far in 2008, he would be the number one retail group in the country.
To borrow Old Wang's words, set a small goal for himself. The four companies of Bailian were Li Dong's current small goals.
Wal-Mart was the final boss. Li Dong had to accumulate for a while before he dared to provoke the final boss. Otherwise, he would die a horrible death.
After setting a small goal, Li Dong suddenly felt his mind clear and refreshed.
After feeling good for a while, Li Dong was unhappy again.
Qi Yunna continued, "Now Wumart and a few other supermarkets are squeezing our market. If we hadn't defeated Su Guo and made them afraid, they would have attacked us long ago. In addition, the supermarket chain industry in the Beijing-Tianjin area has been changing recently. RT-Mart, China Resources Vanguard, Bailian, Tesco, and Wal-Mart have entered the Beijing-Tianjin market. Wumart, which had an absolute advantage before, can't even take care of itself now. This is probably one of the reasons why they haven't made a move yet. "
"Is this considered Zhuolu?"
Li Dong cursed. A big city was indeed a big city. Everyone was squeezing in without a care for their lives.
Now it seemed that it wasn't just him, but others were also unwilling to give up the market in the top cities.
Although Li Dong had long known that the Beijing-Shanghai market was in chaos, he still felt a little depressed when he heard that so many famous brands had entered the market.
After a while, Li Dong took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry about them. Keep a low profile. Our goal is to establish ourselves. Once I've stabilized my footing, I'll kill them until their corpses litter the ground. "
Qi Yunna could not help but laugh. Perhaps only Li Dong would dare to say something like that.
Currently, among the companies competing for the market in Beijing and Tianjin, other than Wumart, which was slightly weaker than Distance, almost all the other companies were stronger than Distance.
"Wei Hua" Run "Tai" Dong "Ran at them." Run ".
"Hua" in "Two"., "Dong" in "" Wei "I" "I" I "s" "one." ".". "." RT-Mart "at" ".
They chatted along the way, and the car soon arrived at the branch office.
Li Dong got out of the car and stood in front of the building for a while. After a while, he said, "Wait a little longer. In two years, I want to build my own commercial building in Beijing!"
No one thought it was a joke. In 2005, Li Dong stood in front of the Global Building and said he wanted to build the Far Away headquarters.
At that time, everyone felt that the goal was far away. But in 2006, the Far Away building was completed.
Far Away even took over the Greenland Building and Longhua Square. No one had expected that.
Now that Li Dong said he wanted to build the Far Away building in Beijing, Qi Yunna believed Li Dong 100%. She knew Li Dong could do it.
…
Far Away branch office.
When Li Dong arrived, greetings like "Chairman" and "General Manager Li" came one after another.
Those who called Li Dong "Chairman" were usually the new employees. The old employees preferred to call Li Dong "General Manager Li."
This way, they seemed closer and could show their sense of superiority.
You see, we are called "General Manager Li." This shows that we are all old people. You new people are still a little green.
Li Dong didn't care much about the difference in terms of address. Seeing that the morale of the employees was high, Li Dong was in a good mood.
After walking around the office area, Li Dong went to the conference room.
The leaders of the branch office also entered the conference room and reported to Li Dong the results of 2007.
Qi Yunna had said most of these things on the way, so Li Dong didn't express any more opinions.
It was not until Qi Yunna summarized and mentioned the battle between Gome and Suning that Li Dong became interested and asked, "The battle between Dazhong and Dazhong hasn't been decided yet?"
Since the beginning of the year, the two companies had been fighting for control of Dazhong.
Almost a year had passed, and Li Dong didn't expect that the two companies still hadn't decided who would win.
Qi Yunna shook her head and said, "It hasn't been decided yet, but I think Suning is in danger. General Manager Li, shouldn't we make a move?"
Li Dong rubbed his chin and thought about it. It was reasonable to say that Li Dong didn't need to intervene in the battle between the two home appliance chain giants.
Don't forget, there was still a VAM agreement between Li Dong and Suning.
If Gome won Dazhong, then it was hard to say if the VAM agreement could be completed. After Gome won Dazhong, its control over the Beijing-Tianjin market would only be stronger.
If they really lost the bet, then Li Dong's 100 stores would belong to Suning.
On the other hand, if Suning won Dazhong, plus Old Huang's big fall in 2008, then Suning would have a chance to replace Gome's position.
At first, Li Dong and Suning set the agreement for three years, but later, Zhang Jindong took the initiative to delay it to five years.
In other words, in 12 years, if Suning couldn't achieve their goal, Li Dong would lose.
Now, almost a year had passed. Although Suning also opened a lot of stores this time, it was still a lot worse than Gome. The ownership of Dazhong would also affect the subsequent changes.
Knocking on the table, Li Dong nodded and said, "We still have to help, but how to help is a problem. Now, the two sides are fighting for control of the shares.
First, the intention of Dazhong.
Second, whether Suning is willing to continue to increase the price.
It wasn't difficult to guess Dazhong's intention. In fact, it was to go to the highest bidder. Otherwise, they wouldn't have contacted Suning and Gome separately.
As for Suning, do you know what their price is?
What about Gome? "
Qi Yunna nodded and said, "I know a little, but I don't know if it's a smokescreen released by both sides.
Suning's current price is between 3.3 billion to 3.5 billion, and Gome's side is higher, about 3.8 billion.
Currently, in the Beijing market, the three companies have about 200 stores in total.
Suning has a total of 55 stores in Beijing, 61 in Dazhong, and 80 in Gome.
The price of 3.5 billion is actually a lot of premium. This time, Suning will build 100 stores, and the total cost is only 3 billion.
Of course, this year, the prices in Beijing have risen a lot, but in general, 3 billion is still a bit high.
This is also the reason why Suning is hesitant. The price is so high that they can't afford it. "
"So, once Gome acquires Dazhong, the number of stores will be almost three times that of Suning?"
"Yes." Qi Yunna nodded and said, "On the other hand, if Suning acquires Dazhong, they will surpass Gome in terms of quantity, and the VAM agreement we set at the beginning can almost be completed."
Li Dong curled his lips and said, "Old Zhang is too stingy. It's only a few hundred million. This guy's net worth is tens of billions, so what's wrong with spending a few hundred million more? If we acquire Dazhong and surpass Gome, it's a good deal. This way, in less than five years, at most two or three years, Suning's market share will be able to achieve the target, and it will also save me a lot of trouble. Now, it's too disappointing to retreat for a few hundred million. "
No one in the conference room dared to say anything, but they were cursing in their hearts. My big boss, this is a few hundred million, not a few million!
If Suning wants to surpass Gome, they will have to spend at least three to four hundred million more. In addition to the original price premium, they will probably have to spend about seven to eight hundred million more than the budget.
Suning is a listed company, and they have to consider more things.
If they did this, it would be fine if they won, but if they lost, how would they explain it to the shareholders and investors?
However, since Li Dong said this, no one dared to refute.
Because this is what Li Dong did. He acquired Times, Changke, and Yong An. Those were all acquisitions at a premium, and the premium was so large that no one dared to compete with him.
For Li Dong, as long as he could achieve his goal, it was worth spending a few hundred million more.
Not everyone has a clear position for the future, and Suning will not choose to continue to increase the price just to complete Li Dong's VAM agreement.
After a brief discussion, Li Dong finally said, "Don't worry about this. I will communicate with Suning later. If it doesn't work, Far away can give some concessions and let Dazhong or Suning enter Faraway Supermarket. This way, Zhang Jindong should dare to continue fighting. "
Supermarket chains and home appliance chains still have a lot in common.
Far away, if they are willing to let Suning officially enter the supermarket, Suning will definitely be willing. They can even buy Dazhong at a higher price.
Of course, this will be a loss for Far Away.
After all, some big stores Far away are also in the home appliance business. If Suning enters, the home appliance market of Faraway Supermarket will be controlled by Suning.
However, Li Dong is optimistic. Far Away does not specialize in the home appliance business.
In fact, it doesn't matter who enters. Otherwise, with so many home appliance chain stores in Beijing, Far Away will not be able to compete with them.
If they make some concessions and deepen their cooperation with Suning, they might be able to increase the business of Far Away.
Next, everyone discussed for a while. In conclusion, the current retail market in Beijing is very chaotic.
Not only the supermarket side, but the home appliance side is also the same. Even other retail industries are very chaotic. Far Away's next goal is to develop steadily and wait for the opportunity.
After talking about these things, Li Dong was a little tired from the long journey.
He asked Chen Ke to stay and check on some business issues. Li Dong asked Tan Yong to drive him to Huaqing Jiayuan.
