The Rebirth of Wealth

Chen Lang had a long talk with representatives of Carrefour headquarters.

The two sides have never been able to reach an agreement, mainly on the issue of money.

Hundreds of millions of RMB is not a small amount. For any company, it is a big number, even if Carrefour is the second retailer in the world.

In the end, Chen Lang said regretfully: "It seems that we can only get here today, but our chairman may not be very patient.

These days, the chairman has been urging us to speed up the negotiation process.

If there is no further progress, the distant place may abandon this negotiation and the previous promotional activities will continue.

Now every day, Carrefour is losing millions of dollars.

Although I don't agree with the chairman's opinion too much, but by this time, I am helpless, sorry. "

Business negotiations can be threatened if they can be threatened, or lured if they can be lured.

Any condition that can be used can be tested.

Carrefour is unwilling to cut prices, and Chen Lang doesn't mind scaring them with Li Dong.

As for whether it can be scared, this is hard to say, but it certainly has a little impact.

After all, Li Dong gave Carrefour a heavy blow before.

Sure enough, Luo Guowei's face changed as soon as this word came out.

Especially Luo Guowei, angrily said: "Chen, the negotiation is not a day or two, we need time!

And doing so is not good for the distance.

If Carrefour's stores continue to be hit hard, even if the negotiation is successful in the distance, it will not be able to reverse the current situation. "

Chen Lang sighed: "Mr. Luo, I understand this. Unfortunately, the distance belongs to the distance of the chairman. We are only professional managers, and we cannot change the chairman's idea.

When we had a **** battle with Su Guo, you should be clear.

We cannot dissuade the chairman from deciding what to do.

Now that the negotiations between Carrefour and us have been slow, we have reason to suspect that you are deliberately delaying time.

And there is another point, now that the financial crisis is becoming more and more important, and the retail business has also been affected.

At this time, resource integration is not completed quickly, and even if you want to withdraw, then we will not be willing to continue talking.

President Luo, I hope Carrefour can consider the reality.

Now that you are deadlocked with us for some small profits, I worry that Carrefour will incur greater losses next. "

Luo Guowei frowned, and said for a long time: "We need time to consider."

"This is your right, but hope that in the next round of negotiations, we can reach a consensus.

Otherwise, we are wasting each other's time. "

The formal negotiations have ended, and Luo Guowei does not have to remain calm. He is annoyed and said: "You should let Li's stingy guy give a value that is more in line with Carrefour, not threaten us.

Chen Lang said with a smile: "Luo can always ask our chairman to talk about it alone."

Luo Guowei shrugged: "Let's forget it. I heard that Li has a short temper, and I worry that he can't control himself."

After saying this, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Chen Lang smiled, and then said: "I will convey the general opinion of Luo, the price can be negotiated, but what we need is speed and progress.

It is good for us to reach an agreement one day earlier. "

At this time, there is no need to insist on 11.2 billion unshakable.

At the beginning, Chen Lang gave a psychological price of more than 11.6 billion, and Tesco did not increase the price in the later period. Chen Lang did not rush to add it.

Now it is appropriate to give in a little, and everyone will talk about it next.

Otherwise, the talks will be deadlocked, and the termination of the negotiations will not be good for the distance.

There are too many things in the distance now. How can there be so much time and money to continue shopping with Carrefour? I said it just to scare each other.

Luo Guowei nodded slightly: "I hope to see the sincerity in the distance next time. Similarly, Carrefour has always been very sincere."

"hope so."

Chen Lang and Luo Guowei shook hands, and the two parties took people away.

When walking out of the meeting room, Chen Lang took out his mobile phone and called Li Dong.

After the phone call, Chen Lang smiled and said, "Mr. Li, it's almost done."

...

Hotel.

Li Dong just returned to the room and received a call from Chen Lang.

When Chen Lang said it was almost done, Li Dong was a little surprised, "So fast?"

It was only in May that the two parties were negotiating, which was less than a month away. Li Dong did not expect that the progress would be so fast.

Yes, it is fast.

Generally, such a large-scale business negotiation, it is normal to stand still for a year or two.

Less than a month now, Chen Lang said almost.

Chen Lang is not a fan of bragging, nor will he brag about it. Obviously, he has achieved breakthrough development, otherwise he will not say so.

After Chen Lang explained the reason, Li Dong couldn't help but say, "Are you from the Ministry of Commerce?"

He really didn't know about it, he hadn't paid much attention to it over the past few days.

Chen Lang said with a smile: "In fact, it was not my invitation. I attended a government dinner a few days ago, and this one took the initiative to mention this.

The resources delivered to the door are not used in vain, so this is the only way out. "

Li Dong touched his chin and said, "Is this his own will or the meaning of the Ministry of Commerce?"

"It's hard to say, but I think the greater possibility is that the Ministry of Commerce hopes to facilitate this negotiation.

After all, we are far away representing national enterprises in the department store industry, and the government actually does not want foreign investment to continue to grow.

Now that Carrefour voluntarily quits, the distant place intends to take over, and can also ensure that the situation is stabilized. The Ministry of Commerce may decide to speed up the progress based on these considerations. "

Li Dongdao: "Forget it, regardless of them. Anyway, it's harmless to us, so to speak, maybe the next negotiation can achieve the goal?"

Chen Lang thought for a moment and said: "This is not easy to say, but at most there are two or three negotiations, and it will be successful. I am still sure about this, and in terms of price, I estimate it is about 11.5 billion."

"This price is barely strong, and it is not far from our estimate, I can accept it.

I really want to talk about this price range. If other parties reach agreement, you can take the initiative and sign the agreement. "

Li Dong said after adding: "But Carrefour must ensure that we can take over and integrate as quickly as possible. You are the king of mergers and acquisitions. You don't need me to point you.

But we are now pressed for time, and we do n’t have much time to take over slowly.

If the negotiation is successful now, my idea is to complete the integration of resources before the end of the year and integrate the Carrefour system into the remote system. "

Chen Lang suddenly felt that he was under pressure, and business negotiations were not difficult.

Li Dong is not too demanding on the price. It is agreed that Carrefour M & A is not too difficult.

It is only a half-year to fully integrate Carrefour's more than 100 stores into the original system in the distance. This is the big problem.

Although Chen Lang is confident, he is not so sure about this kind of thing.

Despite not being very confident, Chen Lang said in a deep voice: "You can rest assured, I will do my best!"

"That's good."

Li Dong slowed his tone and looked at Shen Qian who couldn't see far away. Seeing that she didn't pay attention to it, she lowered her voice and said, "Did she have any trouble?"

When Li Dong was leaving, he threw Chen Lang's number to Yuan Xue.

Yuan Xue is alone in the Shanghai market, and Li Dong is not too relieved.

And he will not stay there all the time. Sometimes when something happens, Li Dong can't fly through it.

After thinking about it, Li Dong still left Chen Lang's number to Yuan Xue, and asked Chen Lang a few words to let him take care of Yuan Xue.

Chen Lang is now the top person in charge of the Shanghai market from afar, and can even enter the municipal government to discuss matters with the mayor.

With Chen Lang here, ordinary things can be solved.

Chen Lang didn't ask Yuan Xue what Li Dong had to do. Sometimes, asking too much troubled him.

Taking care of a little girl is not a dangerous person. Chen Lang believes that he can still cover it.

And the boss gave this private matter to himself, which is also a sign of closeness.

When Li Dong asked, Chen Lang immediately said: "No trouble, there is just one of our hypermarkets there. I let the security of the hypermarket patrol there at night, and I will help solve it as soon as possible."

"That line, I hung up."

Li Dong said no more and hung up the phone.

After exhaling, Li Dong relaxed a lot.

Carrefour has almost solved it, OPPO has also completed its holding plan, and then if we reach a strategic agreement with several manufacturers, the cost of distant supermarkets can also be reduced.

Everything is going in the good direction. Of course, it would be better if it didn't cost money.

...

On June 7, Li Dong went straight to Yangcheng.

Yangcheng and Guancheng are not far away, and it takes just over an hour to drive.

In recent years, there have been many new cities in China, many of which have been successfully transformed, or have achieved outstanding development in a certain area, and are well-known throughout the country.

No matter how famous other cities are, Yangcheng has always been at the forefront of the domestic first-tier metropolis rankings.

As the provincial capital of Guangdong Province and an international business center, Yangcheng's geographic location and strategic location are very important.

Similarly, there are many well-known enterprises here.

Especially for Internet companies, Tencent does not count in the Shenzhen market. There are also NetEase, UC, Kugou, and Huaduo Network Technology Co., Ltd., which is also the parent company of YY.

In addition to these existing Internet companies, a big project to change the future was born here.

WeChat was born in Yangcheng.

Zhang Xiaolong, known as the father of WeChat, was in charge of the QQ mailbox project in Yangcheng at the moment, which is not a too senior position.

Tencent has many business groups, and QQ mailbox is just a business department under the business group.

Zhang Xiaolong is responsible for the further development of QQ mailbox at this moment, this position can be said to be unremarkable.

Even the presidents of some business groups in the distance are much more famous than Zhang Xiaolong in the Internet industry.

No one would have thought that Zhang Xiaolong, who is now obscured, will develop WeChat in a few years.

Of course, the development of WeChat can not be said to be the credit of Zhang Xiaolong. In fact, before the emergence of WeChat, Xiaomi developed a Micha software of the same type.

However, if you go back up, in fact, whether it is Mi Chat or WeChat, it can be said to borrow a software called Kik.

However, whether or not it draws on the creativity of others, the WeChat Blaze is true.

Some improvements made by Zhang Xiaolong are also more suitable for the Chinese. Obviously Zhang Xiaolong has a high strategic vision.

The most important point is that Li Dong didn't know who Mi Liao developed, and even Xiaomi has no shadow, let alone find someone.

Kik was developed by a foreign development team, and Li Dong was even dark.

Taken together, of course, it is most suitable to find Zhang Xiaolong, a famous and surnamed person with an address.

Now that the 3G era is coming, the iPhone 3G phone will be available in a month, and the time to develop WeChat has arrived.

Even if Li Dong knows, it is not difficult to develop, but it is creative.

But he doesn't care, if he can dig away, don't give Tencent a chance.

Originally on the PC side, it was not Tencent's opponent. If Zhang Xiaolong continued to stay with Tencent, it might cause trouble for himself in the future.

It's better to draw a salary at the bottom of the kettle and directly dig the other party into your own company.

Anyway, Zhang Xiaolong is now just the person in charge of the third-level department, and his reputation is not obvious. Such people have been poached, and Xiao Ma will not necessarily care.

This time Li Dong came to Yangcheng for the moment for these purposes: signing a strategic agreement with Libai, gathering with business school classmates, and digging people.

Shortly after Li Dong and his party arrived at the hotel, Li Dong's mobile phone rang.

The call came from Chen Kaixuan. Old Chen was very happy and excitedly said: "Dongzi, where is it?"

"Just arrived at the hotel." Li Dong laughed.

Chen Kaixuan hurriedly said: "Which hotel, Dongzi, do you treat your brother as an outsider, and come to book your own hotel? Isn't it possible that Lao Chen can live in my house without staying at my house!"

Li Dong immediately smiled and said: "Brother Chen, you said this. I brought a dozen people this time. Now I will check out and stay with you at a later time."

"Hahaha, Dongzi, you don't have to marry our army, a dozen people will be a dozen people, if I can't do it, I will guarantee that I can live there."

The two joked for a while, and Li Dong continued: "I am in Shangri-La Hotel now."

"Okay, I'll be here soon. Let's eat together at noon."

Leaving this, Chen Kaixuan hung up the phone directly.

Li Dong smiled ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Chen Kaixuan was very anxious.

Old Chen is also 50 years old this year. When he was in business school, he had a normal relationship with Li Dong.

But now that the two sides are cooperating, the relationship is better.

This is true in the business field, and the relationship does not come out of thin air. You can't bring benefits to everyone. Why do others want to stifle you to please you?

Li Dong is not weak, so is Chen Kaixuan.

Libai is now well-known throughout the country, and its assets may not be as far away as it is, but its visibility is not worse than far away.

Chen Kaixuan has fewer net worths than Li Dong, but he is also a billionaire wealthy class, so naturally he does not have to deliberately please Li Dong.

Of course, it is different now.

The two signed a strategic cooperation agreement, and they will be partners in the future. Together with the relationship between students, it is natural to get closer.

Thinking of this, Li Dong could not help touching his chin.

Don't really say that a classmate relationship has brought him a lot of benefits.

He didn't go to the business school very often, but he signed a strategic agreement with Huiyuan. Guangming and Mengniu also had this idea, but because of the problem of milk powder, neither of them had time to talk about it.

Coupled with Li Bai, Yang Shaopeng, who helped shipping, and Lan Xingguo of Sichuan Airlines ...

A business school has brought Li Dong countless connections. No wonder Ma Yun's guy was later engaged in Lakeside University. Xiangjiang's old Li is also in business school. These are all rare resources.

But business schools are not something ordinary people can do. At least Li Dong doesn't have this qualification yet.

The reputation is not enough, and it's also easy to laugh out of it.

When the time came, few people came to participate, making people joke out of thin air.

Even after Ma Yun, the influence of a single person was insufficient, and a large number of successful entrepreneurs were invited to start a lakeside university.

Shaking his head, Li Dong didn't think about it anymore. This kind of thing will be discussed later when his status is enough.
