The Rebirth of Wealth

Entering June, Li Dong prepared to dormant for a while.

Li Dong's low profile does not mean that the business world is calm.

Affected by the financial crisis in 2008, the business community was turbulent, and some people had to withdraw because they could not sustain it, while others were prepared to fight against the trend.

In the domestic retail industry, while Li Dong and Carrefour are discussing mergers and acquisitions, the integration of resources in other regions is also continuing.

After China Resources acquired M & A World last year, the integration was completely completed by June this year.

So far, China Resources Vanguard has established a firm foothold in North China.

And Wal-Mart also started a big move after another year of mergers and acquisitions.

With the departure of the former Haoyouduo President, along with the departure of Haoyouduo President, and 18 successive senior executives, Wal-Mart completely controlled a lot.

As of this time, department stores in South China competed with Walmart and Xinyijia.

At the same time that Far East, China Resources and Wal-Mart are taking action, other retail giants are unwilling to show their weakness.

On June 4, Auchan and RT-Mart issued an announcement that the two companies will jointly inject a Xiangjiang holding company in all stores in mainland China.

This means that there is one less department store giant in the Chinese mainland, but the two have become one, but their strength has increased a lot.

Originally, RT-Mart had never been able to keep up. After the top five in the department store industry, it didn't attract much attention.

Now, after Carrefour's withdrawal from China, RT-Mart and France's second-largest retailer Auchan merged, surpassing Wal-Mart in one fell swoop and becoming the number one foreign-owned enterprise in the domestic department store industry.

In addition, Lotte announced that it has completed all mergers and acquisitions of Wankelong, and renamed 8 Wankelong stores in Beijing, officially opening in June.

In addition, the big business groups that have always been rooted in the three eastern provinces are not alone. Seeing the fierce competition in East China, North China, and South China, they changed their direction and chose to go westward.

...

In June, the retail industry continued to carry out mergers and acquisitions of big fish eating small fish and small fish eating shrimp.

As the dust settled, the domestic retail industry gradually stabilized.

At this time, most of the small and medium-sized supermarkets were merged, forming a situation where several hegemonic giant department stores divided 70% of the China Department Store market.

Bailian, Yuanfang, China Resources, RT-Mart, Wal-Mart, Dashang Group, Wumart, Agriculture, Industry and Commerce, Xinyijia, and New Cooperative Trade have become the new top ten overlords.

Carrefour, which originally occupied the top five, is now not in the rankings. Su Guo, who was firmly in the top ten at the beginning, was also completely incorporated into China Resources.

Other foreign investors, such as Tesco, Lotte, and Metro, are difficult to compete with because of their short entry time.

In the department store industry, in addition to Carrefour who has not yet settled down completely, other regions have formed regional overlords.

Just as the department store industry continued to reorganize and integrate, so did other industries.

The financial crisis is both dangerous and an opportunity.

Only at this time can there be such an opportunity to annex other companies, and only at this time can we do what we cannot normally do.

In the real estate industry, large real estate companies such as Vanke, Evergrande, Poly, China Resources, Longhua, Longhu and Country Garden are also constantly compressing the market of other small and medium-sized real estate companies.

Gradually, some small and medium-sized real estate companies were unsustainable and retreated.

Wanda, which is famous in the future, is still very low-key at the moment. Not long after Lao Wang just completed the privatization, he is now integrating resources and has not yet participated in the competition among major real estate developers.

In addition to paying attention to the changes in the retail industry and real estate industry, Li Dong also noticed a few news that seemed to have nothing to do with him.

In June, the six major domestic telecom operators also started a merger and reorganization. Telecom acquired Unicom's cdma network. Netcom and Unicom merged. Railcom merged into mobile. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology submitted a 3g plan to the International Telecommunication Union.

Apple announced that it will open the "Global Developer Conference" on June 10, announcing new models in the 3g era.

Nokia announced to open the way to acquire Saipan.

The ever-changing era of intelligent machines has completely opened the curtain.

...

In 2008, the wind surged.

Both domestic and foreign, have ushered in a major change.

The weak are eliminated, and the strong seize the opportunity to take off. The business pattern of the next decade has gradually laid the foundation in 2008.

At the moment, Li Dong, who disappeared in the eyes of outsiders, has already gone to Guancheng.

On June 6, Li Dong and Shen Qian went to the oppo mobile phone production workshop on the outskirts of Guancheng together.

Since the establishment of the project in 2006, Oppo's first mobile phone, which is ready to enter the mobile phone field, finally went offline after two years and was officially put into use.

This phone, named a103, was actually officially put into production in March.

The main reason for the delay is that Li Dong has put forward several requirements, which caused the delay of the online time.

Originally a103 came online, the browsers used are all original wap browsers.

Before going online, the far side suddenly asked for it, hoping that the a103 could use the pp browser that was just out of the distance.

As a major shareholder holding 20% ​​of the shares, when Chen Qian raised this point, Chen Mingyong tested the performance of the pp browser and felt that it was not worse than today's wap and uc. Finally, the two parties signed a cooperation agreement, oppo's first mobile phone Officially use pp browser as a built-in browser.

This time Li Dong came to Guancheng, on the one hand, to see the situation of the new mobile phone, on the other hand, he hoped to deepen cooperation.

Just the browser, this is not the ultimate goal of Li Dong.

What he hopes to see more is that Yuanfang Mall, pp, Weibo, Pea Pod can become the standard configuration client of oppo mobile phones.

However, the current mobile phone memory and network can not support these, Li Dong hopes to take this opportunity to remind Chen Mingyong to seize the time layout.

iphone3g is about to be released, and Li Dong feels that the current conditions are almost mature.

Google will soon announce the source code of android. At this time, android is not very valued, and most of the domestic ones use the symbian system.

Li Dong doesn't care who is stronger or weaker. The only thing he knows is that android will fully replace symbian in the future.

And Google is constantly developing next-generation systems. On the other hand, on the symbian side, it has become increasingly unsuitable after being acquired by Nokia.

Eventually even Nokia lost ground and had to give up symbian.

...

Li Donglai came to Wancheng, but Chen Mingyong was actually a little surprised.

When Shen Qian came to buy Oppo shares, she bought it in the name of a private person. At that time, Chen Mingyong thought Li Dong was unaware.

But last time, when Shen Qian proposed the first mobile phone to use the pp browser, Chen Mingyong had some speculation about whether this was instructed from a distance.

Guessing is guessing, at this time the oppo is still unknown.

Chen Mingyong himself is far from being comparable to commercial giants like Li Dong.

So when he learned that Li Dong actually came to Guancheng in person and hoped to deepen further cooperation, Chen Mingyong was full of anticipation and nervous.

In the production workshop.

Li Dong is playing with the a103 mobile phone that has just been offline, and I have to say that although the future oppo will be mixed, it still has its reason for success.

At least one thing, Chen Mingyong's psychological research on young people is very thorough.

In the future, this a103 is regarded as a type of elderly machine.

But at this time, oppo has worked **** the appearance, at a glance, and then compare the current Nokia new models. Relatively speaking, Li Dong feels that the new oppo model must be better.

When the 3g era was not officially opened, there were not many tricks that could be played on mobile phones.

Oppoa103's main music and self-timer mode to create new tricks are also a highlight, at least young people should prefer.

Li Dong played for a while and looked at Chen Mingyong: "Mr. Chen, how much do you know about Apple?"

Chen Mingyong quickly said: "American apple?"

Li Dong nodded.

Chen Mingyong immediately said: "I didn't know much about the previous years, but the iPhones they released in 2007 were hailed as God's mobile phones, which caused a lot of sensation at the time.

Last year we happened to be developing mobile phones, and I asked my friends to bring me a few simple tests.

It shocked me a lot at the time. This is a new model that is completely different from previous phones.

Its built-in safari browser makes people use the mobile phone to surf the Internet in the first instant.

And the design of the touch screen is amazing, completely abandoning the previous silliness and allowing users to use a more extreme experience ... "

Chen Mingyong said that these heads were right, and Li Dong nodded slightly.

But the iPhone generation machine is nothing.

What really makes the iPhone fire is the upcoming 3g mobile phone.

This time Apple launched the appstore, and for the first time equipped with an application market, the concept of app has completely entered thousands of households, which is the root of Apple leading the era.

If there is no appstore, iphone is difficult to get the recognition of the world.

Today, there are countless applications.

Almost every famous enterprise will use its own dedicated application platform.

Tencent's application treasure, Ali acquired pea pods, Baidu acquired 91 ...

Of course, pea pods now belong to a distance. When Wang Junyu developed the application platform, he named himself pea pods.

In fact, Li Dong is currently considering changing his name to pp assistant.

There were also pp assistants in the previous life, but now that they have not come out, Li Dong does not mind occupying the name in advance.

Distant pp is now famous, and it is easier to change the name to form a complete brand effect.

To put it right, in short, the application platform at this time, especially the mobile application platform, is almost invisible.

Apple's success, appstore has made a lot of credit in the early stage.

Li Dong and Chen Mingyong said that Apple meant this.

After Chen Mingyong finished his understanding, Li Dong then said: "In a few days, Apple will release a new generation of iphone3g mobile phone, has this President Chen heard?"

"Slightly heard."

Chen Mingyong is not quite sure what Li Dong wants to say, but for an entrepreneur with higher achievements than him, Chen Mingyong is still willing to listen more and say more.

Li Dong did not panic and said: "I think Mr. Chen can buy a few and come back to study at that time. The upcoming iphone3g mobile phone is of great significance to me.

If Opper wants to continue to make mobile phones, I think iphone is the main road in the future mobile phone field.

The 2g era has gradually passed, and now mobile phones are no longer dominated by appearance and fancy.

Today, the concept is king. "

Chen Mingyong was slightly thoughtful and did not rush to speak.

Li Dong didn't say much after seeing this, and continued: "In addition to working **** the phone itself, another point is publicity and channel laying.

Opal is now in the domestic mobile phone field, without a reputation.

This is not the time when the wine is not afraid of deep alleys. If you do n’t advertise or promote, why should consumers choose the unknown Opel when hundreds of mobile phone types are on the market? "

Chen Mingyong nodded and said, "This is exactly what Mr. Li's idea coincides with with me. Recently we are preparing to do some publicity activities.

A few days ago, we also talked to several TV stations about the title, but for the time being, we have not selected a suitable program.

When the publicity plan is finalized, we will conduct a large-scale publicity campaign. "

Speaking of Chen Mingyong, it's a bit embarrassing: "As for the laying of channels, we also know the importance of him. But if the channels are laid now, I am afraid that the funds from Opper will be unsustainable."

This is what Li Dong waited for. As soon as he finished speaking, Li Dong smiled and said: "In terms of funds, if Mr. Chen has difficulties, he can contact me."

Chen Mingyong's complexion changed slightly, apparently alert.

Shen Qian has controlled 20% of Opper ’s shares and is now the second largest shareholder.

If Li Dong is allowed to enter again, Opper may change his ownership, which is not what Chen Mingyong wants to see.

To Li Dong, admiration for admiration does not mean that Chen Mingyong is willing to fight his own industry.

Seeing his vigilance, Li Dong explained: "Mr. Chen also don't get me wrong. In fact, I'm not interested in controlling Opper.

You know, there are many remote industries now, and they are all pillar industries with assets exceeding 10 billion yuan.

Among them, Yuanfang Technology's valuation may exceed 30 billion yuan.

The reason why I chose to cooperate with Opper last year was actually to try.

On the PC side, Yuanfang Mall and Yuanpp have been lagging behind, and it is too difficult to defeat Taobao and qq through regular channels.

That's why I was prepared to take a new path. When Apple released the first-generation iPhone, I felt that in the future, the mobile phone field may usher in new reforms.

Choosing Opel as the partner of the distance, the distance is also a win-win situation. "

Chen Mingyong roughly understood what Li Dong meant, but he still questioned a little: "Why did President Li choose Opal?"

You know, Opper didn't make mobile phones yet.

Li Dong wants to make a breakthrough in the field of mobile phones, overwhelming his competitors. In Chen Mingyong's opinion, Opper is not the best choice.

Li Dongqing said with a smile: "Regarding this point, there are naturally reasons, but I said it, Mr. Chen don't mind."

Chen Mingyong hurriedly said: "Although Mr. Li speaks bluntly."

Li Dong did not say that he was more worried. From the beginning, Li Dong seemed to have a controlling stake in Opper.

Facing a business tycoon like Li Dong, Chen Mingyong was of course worried that Opper would fall into Li Dong's pocket.

"First, Opal has entered the field of mobile phones newly, and its reputation is not obvious, and its value is not high. If I invest, I can achieve my goal with the least cost."

Chen Mingyong smiled dryly, which was straightforward enough.

"Second, Opper is backed by Backgammon. I heard that you and Backgammon are still continuing to share technology.

To be honest, the reason why I knew Opper was because I learned this when I studied backgammon.

And relatively speaking, the value of Opper and BBK is not the same. It is better to invest in Opper with the same technology than to invest in BBK. "

Chen Mingyong nodded, which is one of the reasons he has been speculating.

"Thirdly, the distance is only an attempt this time. When investing in a large manufacturer, on the one hand, we do not have a large proportion of opinions. On the other hand, if the attempt fails, we may cause huge losses.

Opal is different. You're welcome. Even if Opal is completely bankrupt, for me, the loss of 300 million to 200 million is irrelevant. "

When Li Dong said this, Shen Qian couldn't help but push him.

When you say bankruptcy in front of your boss, you are too straightforward.

Chen Mingyong didn't care much about this, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li made sense. It was me. At the trial stage, I would rather try it on some small businesses.

And we have BBK technology. In fact, although our company is small in scale, its R & D strength is not weaker than that of ordinary large companies. "

Li Dong nodded and said: "I mean that. In fact, when I came this time, I also hoped to get a deeper cooperation with Opper.

Next, I hope Opper can develop a mobile phone that can support the remote mall, pp and application platform.

Letting the distant Internet industry dominate among mobile phone users is the perfect ending I hope to see.

So I just suggested ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Chen can always research iphone.

As soon as the 3g mobile phone comes out, it has the foundation and foundation to support these applications.

Although there are some technical difficulties, but I think for Opper, the difficulty should not be too large.

All in all, the distant place still hopes that Opal can always grow bigger, so Chen does n’t have to worry about any bad thoughts about Opper. "

Chen Mingyong hurriedly said: "Mr. Li misunderstood. I was just curious that Mr. Li could actually be regarded as an enterprise like ours. Now I hear from Mr. Li that I have other thoughts."

Li Dong smiled and continued: "So I just said that Mr. Chen can come to me when he is short of money, which is also what I have in mind.

Opal grows bigger, and I'm happy to see it succeed.

If Mr. Chen is still worried about anything, it is okay to sign some supplementary agreements. Mr. Opper ’s helm is always Mr. Chen ’s team. As long as he can bring help to the distance and make money, I do n’t care if Opel is under my control . "

Chen Mingyong smiled and nodded.

This matter has to be considered. It is not that Li Dong will take him seriously.

And the industry has the same opinion on Li Dong, only!

Change to someone else, maybe Chen Mingyong really agreed, but Li Dong did not want to know clearly, and Chen Mingyong did not dare to agree.

Once the shares held by Li Dong increased, what would happen if he was kicked out.

The founder team was kicked out of the game is not a case of two cases, not completely sure, even if Chen Mingyong lack of money will not dare to let Li Dong into the field.

Of course, if you can be sure that you can continue to control the company, let Li Dong come in.

From a distance, Li Dong is optimistic about Opper, which is also his opportunity.

This year, not everyone will be optimistic about an unknown mobile phone company, especially a giant such as a distant company.
