Li Dong wasn't aware of Hu Ming's anger.
Even if he knew, Li Dong would only say that Hu Ming deserved it for badmouthing him!
Since he couldn't borrow money from Hu Ming, Li Dong didn't look for anyone else.
There were ways to play with money, and there were ways to play without money.
Li Dong could always withdraw some funds from the stock market if he really couldn't. Of course, unless it was necessary.
Now that the stock market was making a lot of money, Li Dong didn't want to withdraw his funds at this time. That would be a huge loss.
…
On the 4th of April, Shen Qian didn't come back.
Li Dong thought that she was fooling him again and was prepared to go to Sichuan. On the 5th, Shen Qian finally came back.
She brought Huang Shanshan back with her.
But when Li Dong went to the airport to pick her up, he didn't see Huang Shanshan.
Li Dong scanned his surroundings but did not see Huang Shanshan. He could not help but frown.
He thought that Huang Shanshan didn't come back, and Li Dong was worried when he thought that she was in Sichuan.
Seeing Li Dong looking around, Shen Qian asked with a faint smile, "Who are you looking for?"
Li Dong didn't hide it and asked, "Where's Huang Shanshan?"
"I'll leave first. Aren't you afraid that I'll be jealous if you care about her so much?"
Li Dong laughed, "I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door if I don't do anything wrong. I'm a sunny person, so of course I won't feel guilty. "
Li Dong didn't feel guilty, and there was nothing between him and Huang Shanshan.
Yes, Huang Shanshan liked him in the past, but that was a long time ago.
Also, with Li Dong's status, there were many people who liked him, and he couldn't control what others thought. He couldn't feel guilty just because someone was interested in him.
Li Dong felt pity and pity for Huang Shanshan.
In addition, Huang Shanshan had warned him several times, so Li Dong felt even more pity for him.
Sichuan was more dangerous now. Li Dong naturally hoped that Huang Shanshan could return. After all, he was the one who sent her to Sichuan.
"Such thick skin!"
Shen Qian rolled her eyes and didn't argue about it.
She could actually see through Li Dong's thoughts. She knew that it wasn't related to the relationship between a man and a woman, and she was only joking just now.
After getting into the car, the buildings on both sides of the road sped past.
Shen Qian stared at it for a while, then turned to ask Li Dong, "Why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"
"Nothing, I just miss you."
Shen Qian giggled. She glanced at Tan Yong, who was driving, and secretly pinched Li Dong.
Li Dong grimaced in pain. Only then did Shen Qian let him go.
They didn't go to the building Far away and returned to the Provincial Party Committee.
Shen Qian's house was also renovated, but she was too lazy to go back to her own house. She went straight to Li Dong's house.
After a long journey, Shen Qian was also a little tired. She leaned on the sofa as soon as she entered the house and lazily instructed Li Dong to serve tea.
After resting for a while, Shen Qian said, "The matters in Sichuan are almost settled. The schools have been inspected, and the students have moved in. In a few days, all the major media outlets will be reporting on it. But because of the collapse of Hanyuan Primary School, I'm afraid the publicity will be greatly reduced. I don't think it's worth spending 600 million. "
While massaging her shoulders, Li Dong replied, "It doesn't matter. Once the money is spent, the reputation is already there. Publicity is just a side effect."
"You're quite broad-minded." Shen Qian comfortably changed her posture and rested her head on Li Dong's lap. She continued, "Also, the foundation hired quite a number of people this time. Anyway, we don't have any big plans in the near future. It's better to have fewer people. "
"You can be in charge of this. I have no objections."
"Also …"
Shen Qian told him everything that had happened in Sichuan. In the end, she fell into a deep sleep.
Li Dong wanted to ask about Liu Tang, but seeing that she had fallen asleep, he didn't disturb her.
…
With Shen Qian's return, Li Dong had one less thing to worry about.
In the next two days, Li Dong started to look through the information on Carrefour.
Distribution of stores, main suppliers, cash flow, payment cycle …
By the time he roughly read through the information, it was already April 7th.
…
On April 7th, things happened as scheduled.
History did not change.
When the news spread back to the country, there was an uproar.
…
April 8th. Far away building.
In the meeting room.
Liu Hong was the first to speak. "Director Li, it's quite widespread on the Internet now. Some of the comments are quite extreme. Weibo has become the first line of defense. Do you think we should clean it up? "
Before Li Dong could reply, Yuan Chengdao said. "We cannot let this matter continue. Weibo is the biggest media platform, and many people are watching us. If we let this go, we might be attacked by our opponents. Sina and a few other companies are watching us, and we need to play it safe. "
Yuan Chengdao said, and many people agreed.
Li Dong did not interrupt them. He thought for a while and asked. "What did the higher-ups say?"
As a media platform, there are some things they can't do.
Although Li Dong wanted to blow up the matter, he understood that he did not have the strength and confidence to go against the higher-ups at this time.
Liu Hong replied. "They have not set a standard yet, but I think it will be soon. The other forums and Weibo are also deleting their posts. I think we should not wait for the higher-ups to notify us. "
Li Dong sighed. He was not feeling comfortable, but he cannot gamble with Weibo.
Li Dong thought for a while and said. "Delete all the comments that are too radical. But we don't need to care about Carrefour. Business matters don't involve politics, so it won't have too much of an impact. "
Liu Hong wanted to say something, but he did not retort and nodded.
After that, Li Dong went back to the main topic. He cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.
Li Dong saw everyone looking at him and asked. "Do you all know what happened yesterday?"
Liu Hong was still talking about it earlier. How can they not know?
But everyone knew it was just a prelude, and they nodded.
Li Dong continued. "This is an opportunity. I am preparing to fight with Carrefour!"
"Fight?"
"At this time?"
Everyone murmured. Many people frowned slightly.
Sun Tao thought for a moment and said, "General Manager Li, although there is a chance now, it is not good for us to make a move now, right?"
Chen Lang, who was at the side, didn't quite agree and continued, "I have the same thoughts as Director Li. This is indeed an opportunity. But … "
Chen Lang paused and looked at Li Dong. "But we can only do it and not say anything, especially about what happened yesterday. Everything should be treated as a normal business competition. Although it feels like we are hitting them when they are down, this is how the business world is. This time they are in danger, and it is not our fault. As long as we do not guide and promote, normal business methods are not too much. "
What he said was true, but there were still many difficulties.
Sun Tao was not against encroaching on Carrefour's market, but he said hesitantly, "General Manager Li, Carrefour is strong and has a stronger foundation than Su Guo.
This is indeed an opportunity, but I am afraid it will not last for long.
After this storm, it would be a bloody battle with real swords and spears.
Last year we fought with Su Guo. Although we won in the end, we suffered heavy losses in the early stage, and that was without Huarun Real Estate.
Now it is different. Once we are in a deadlock with Carrefour, it is likely that other supermarket chains will take advantage of us.
We are fighting in the front, and they are following behind to clean up the battlefield. The probability of this happening is very high. "
Yuan Chengdao also agreed, "That's true, the environment is different. At that time in Sunan, only we and Su Guo dominated. Now in China, there are too many supermarket chains. Unless we limit some areas and attack Carrefour in individual cities, we have to ensure that we can eventually win. Otherwise, it will be meaningless for us to make a move. "
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another. There were supporters and opponents.
In addition to the possibility of the fruits of victory being stolen, everyone was also worried about the problem of funds.
There must be a lot of activities if they want to fight a bloody battle.
Some suppliers might support it, but in the end, Far away would definitely have to bleed.
Far away was continuing to expand. It was hard to say how long the war with Carrefour would last.
Once it was too long, it would not be worth it.
If they stopped expanding in other areas, even if they won against Carrefour, Far away would not have much of an advantage.
Li Dong did not interrupt them, regardless of whether they were against or in favor of the idea.
Li Dong tapped the table lightly as he listened attentively to everyone's words. Only when they were done did Li Dong open his mouth and say, "Fight, we definitely have to fight!"
This set the tone. Far away, Li Dong said this, indicating that the matter had been settled.
"But what everyone said also makes sense. Even if we fight in other areas, we will not be able to take advantage. In the end, the fruits of victory are likely to be stolen by others. In this case, we cannot fight in the national area. I mean, choose the East China region as the main battlefield. This time, our target is Carrefour in the East China region. What do you think? "
Chen Lang said, "I'm mainly worried about China Resources. Once we start a war with Carrefour, if both sides suffer losses, China Resources will be able to reap the benefits."
Although Liu Hong did not care about the supermarket, he still interrupted, "Mr. Chen, what do you think about using public opinion? China Resources is a state-owned enterprise, after all, and they do not dare to be too ugly. Especially at this time, as a state-owned enterprise, the impact will be greater than us. Once public opinion is out, even if they are tempted, I'm afraid they will not dare to take the fruits of victory. "
Chen Lang nodded slightly. "If it were a private enterprise, it might not work. If it were a state-owned enterprise, it might work. Private enterprises are more focused on interests. Although state-owned enterprises also focus on interests, interests are not fundamental. Reputation, influence, and the perception of superiors are what they value. At this time, we will use the label of a national brand to resist the invasion of foreign enterprises. Coupled with the current storm, they will most likely not intervene. "
The few of them discussed for a while, perfecting the plan.
As for opposition, after staying in Far away for so long, who did not know Li Dong's thoughts? Opposition was nonsense, and there was no need to say it.
