Chapter 975 (1/2)

In the East Star public discussion, Li Dong was also blocked by reporters.

The flash flashed, and Li Dong closed his eyes.

After a while, Li Dong raised his hand and said with a smile, ”everybody, don't shoot now. I'll pose for you later. If you're blind, I'll have to see your doctor.”

”Ha ha ha...”

Whether they were really happy or not, they all laughed loudly.

After a pause, Li Dong continued: ”I didn't expect that I was received such a warm reception just after I came back. Let's stop talking nonsense and go straight to the topic and ask what I want. As long as it doesn't involve privacy, I know everything.”

With Li Dong's cooperation, everyone was overjoyed.

The reporters scrambled for a while, and soon a female reporter got the first chance and quickly said, ”general manager Li, the distant supplier conference was announced to be held next month. Does it mean that the offensive strategy in the distance has been further consolidated, and will the Department Store war continue in the distance?”

Li Dong said with a chuckle, ”it's like I'm a militant.

And there is no offensive strategy in the distance... ”

He did not drop the voice, many people bared their teeth and grinned. Do you mean it?

Li Dong felt helpless. He coughed and continued: ”this problem is different from the way people look at it. At least in my opinion, far away is not an attack, it's just normal business expansion.

Of course, if you understand it as attack or war, I will not deny it.

This is the inevitable law of market development. The weak are eliminated and the strong are always strong.

If you don't adapt to the pace of the market, you have to be ready to be eliminated. ”

This answer is somewhat controversial. The reporter asked excitedly: ”in the opinion of Mr. Li, who is the strong and who is the weak in China's retail market now?”

After pondering for a moment, Li Dong said, ”the strong and weak are not determined by me, nor by you.

It is decided by the market and by the vast number of consumers.

They trust which enterprise they trust and which supermarket they want to go to when they buy things. This is strong.

As for the weak, there is no need to name the weak. In an era of rapid market development, the weak will be eliminated sooner or later. As time goes on, we will naturally see it. ”

Although they were helpless, they knew that they could not ask for anything.

As soon as the female reporter finished her question, another reporter immediately said, ”Mr. Li, you will mainly sign strategic agreements with three major e-commerce companies when you go to Guangdong Province this time. Does this mean that the next strategic direction is the home appliance retail market?”

Li Dong said with a smile, ”I really want to say something about this.

In fact, you all misunderstood it. This time it was just the right time. You should have seen all the cooperative enterprises announced from afar.

We are not aiming at which enterprise, as for the strategic target is the home appliance retail market, this is a bit big.

In fact, in my opinion, the home appliance market is only a small part of the retail industry, not to mention the strategic objectives. ”

”Mr. Li, do you mean that Su Lin and Guo Mei are just like this?”

Li Dong has a black line on his face. How did you get this conclusion? Did you deliberately lead the war?

Li said, ”I didn't have it. Mr. Huang and Mr. Zhang are all my predecessors. I admire them very much.

And the fact that the two companies can rank in the top three of the retail industry is also a manifestation of their strength, but I dare not say so. ”

Li Dong's reply was soft, which made everyone a little unhappy.

What about the cannons?

Li Da Pao used to stop shooting now. How can I write this news.

At that time, the distant assets were only a few billion, and you dare to marry Bailian and China Resources. Now that you are almost the leader of the industry, how can you be more and more afraid to say.

Reporters are in the heart of sigh, soon everyone's eyes on a 30-year-old female reporter.

This one is the most dare to speak and ask questions in the industry.

In the past, she was famous for her tricky questions in interviewing others. Now we can't ask anything. Would you like to have a try?

Being watched by the public, the young woman reporter stepped forward in no hurry, with a smile like flowery flowers: ”Mr. Li, you said at the distant annual meeting that you want to be the first supermarket this year. Do you remember this?”

”Of course.” Li Dong said with a smile.

”According to the information I have collected, although the second quarter of 2008 has not passed, we have statistics on the general data of the department store industry.

According to incomplete statistics, the total retail sales of Bailian in the first two quarters of this year was about 46 billion.

The total retail sales of Huarun Wanjia also reached 30 billion.

Li should know better than me. Do you think there is any hope of winning the first place this year? ”

Li Dong chuckled: ”although I don't know where you got the data, but the gap should not be too big.

Far away from here, June has not finished, and the performance has not been counted.However, I know that the total performance of the first five months is about 25 billion yuan, and in June, it should be about 30 billion yuan.

However, Carrefour's total performance in the first half of the year is about 10 billion, which is still due to the impact in recent months

When we take over in the second half of the year, I don't think it will be very difficult for the supermarket to be the first. ”

Carrefour

There was a lot of noise in the crowd. Although there had been speculation, Li Dong even included Carrefour right now.

Even the reporter who asked questions was stunned for a moment, and then he said, ”Mr. Li means that Carrefour is already in the bag from afar?”

”So to speak.”

Li Dong does not deny that Chen Lang has made a further breakthrough just in the past few days in Guangdong Province.

Tesco has no intention to continue to compete.

The one-off plan in place from afar has won the favor of many senior executives of Carrefour headquarters. Under the impact of the financial crisis, Carrefour's new major shareholders are also eager to stick to the European local market.

As long as the gap between the two sides is small, they are willing to accept it.

In this case, Carrefour's integration into the distance is almost certain.

In this case, Li Dong has nothing to avoid.

Li Dongyi admitted that the reporters were clamorous again.

What a surprise!

Originally, I just wanted to dig something out. I didn't expect to dig a big material directly.

The M & A involving tens of billions of funds is not the largest in China, but definitely the largest in the retail industry.

Such super mergers and acquisitions may enter the history of commercial development.

This time, the public did not give the female reporter a chance to ask, and they began to ask.

Li Dong waited for them to ask for a while, pressed his hand and said, ”the specific information is not convenient to disclose at present.

But I would like to make a few simple points. First, the capital of this merger and acquisition is more than 11 billion yuan.

Secondly, after the merger and acquisition, Carrefour stores will be brought into the remote system as soon as possible, and there will be no cooperative operation.

Third, Carrefour's employees in China will be accepted in a unified way, and no large-scale layoffs will be carried out.

Fourth, if the situation goes well, we will release specific information during the supplier conference next month.
