Reinventing the Millennium

Tesco has attracted great attention from Gome.

This was beyond Fang Zhuo's expectation.

Gome not only pays attention to it, but also takes action.

This was beyond Fang Zhuo's expectation.

While he was arranging Tesco's response in an orderly manner, he couldn't help but think about it again. Did he have any disagreements with the head of Gome?

The half-day vacation on the weekend afternoon was wasted, but the meeting with Qiu Lanhua in the evening was still as scheduled.

As expected, Qiu Lanhua had nothing important to do. She just briefly talked about personal friendships and introduced a few entrepreneurs from the new district.

The dinner was in a harmonious atmosphere, and when it was over, he heard Mr. Fang mention the competition from Tesco, and couldn't help but joke: "Mr. Fang, you might have had a conflict with the man named Huang, so you'll find someone to settle the matter later."

Qiu Lanhua could hear that Mr. Fang attached great importance to e-commerce, and also heard that the domestic trend of Yike was not good, but she did not understand the foreign market.

"Old Qiu, do you also believe those gossips?" Fang Zhuo sighed helplessly, "There is this news and that news all day long. If you believe the gossips, I will have to keep you low-key and low-key recently."

Qiu Lanhua laughed. Due to his personal relationship, he liked to hear his secretary gossip about Mr. Fang. He knew that there were rumors that Mr. Huang was being used by Mr. Fang.

"Okay, okay, then I will buy more things from your website to support you."

"For the Korean hotel, I would also like to express my gratitude on behalf of our new district. I will give Tesco the title of advanced in the district in two days."

Previously, through Mr. Fang’s introduction, Samsung came to the Shilla Hotel for inspection and negotiation, and now it has basically been finalized.

Qiu Lanhua was particularly satisfied with this aspect.

Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "Okay, next time I meet a rich guy, I'll hook him up in the district. Get in the car."

Qiu Lanhua got into the car and waved goodbye.

However, just as the car slowly drove out, he suddenly came back to his senses and quickly stretched his head to look outside, and saw Mr. Fang still standing there looking at the direction of his car.

The night was dark, and I could only see the figure standing there, but I couldn't see Mr. Fang's expression clearly.

But Qiu Lanhua woke up mostly from alcohol for no reason.

——If you believe the gossip, I have to ask you to keep a low profile and keep a low profile recently.

Qiu Lanhua smacked the taste.

Although this person has a good relationship with me, he is actually the type who doesn't like to get close to the administration, but because of the medical department and Bing Xin, he actually knows a lot of big shots in the system.

To this day, he can't figure out where the edge of this influence is.

Because of this, the gossip from Mr. Fang...

Qiu Lanhua recalled Mr. Fang's sighing tone and felt that she was clicked.

He was almost certain that if he called Mr. Fang now, the other party would never admit that there was anything behind this sentence. It was nothing more than "joking" and "following what you said."

If you understand, you understand. If you don't understand, you will be dismissed.

"This guy Fang Zhuo..."

Qiu Lanhua lit a cigarette.

The co-driver's secretary knew that the leader liked to hear news from his friends when he was free, so he felt that it was a good time to answer the call since he was in a good mood and had a good time: "Mr. Fang didn't drink much today."

"I'm afraid there's something on my mind." Qiu Lanhua kept all her thoughts in her heart and flicked the ashes from her cigarette.

The secretary asked: "Leader, tell me, who will have the last laugh in this competition between Gome and Tesco?"

Qiu Lanhua knew that the secretary thought that the "something on her mind" she said was referring to this business matter, so she did not correct her and said firmly: "It must be Tesco."

"Because of Mr. Fang?" the secretary smiled, "I also believe in Mr. Fang's control of business projects."

Qiu Lanhua shook her head slightly: "No, because I can still buy many Gomeli products from E-commerce after ten o'clock at night."

The secretary was stunned, this, this is a very real experience.

…

The joint letter from 17 suppliers did not dissuade Tesco from moving forward.

Although Tesco has put a lot of effort into the selection and negotiation of suppliers, because the project has just been launched, and the construction and opening of the warehouse also takes time, the process of replacing suppliers is not complicated.

From this perspective, the joint letter is more of an intimidation.

The head of Gome used this method as a greeting gift when they first met, which left a deep impression on Fang Zhuo.

When he actually saw Huang Guangyu on the 19th, Fang Zhuo was even more surprised by his appearance.

The shiny bald head makes this person look quite sharp.

He did not bring many people with him on this trip to Shanghai. He was only accompanied by his wife Du Juan, a vice president of Gome and several assistants.

In the afternoon, the two people ranked first and second on the mainland's rich list met for the first time at Hang Lung Tower.

Out of politeness, Fang Zhuo went downstairs to greet him in person, and also took Huang Guangyu and his party to visit the 22nd-floor e-commerce headquarters of Hang Lung.

Huang Guangyu looked at it very seriously, and even asked about a work process he saw on the spot without any hesitation, which involved Tesco's procurement.

But overall, Huang Guangyu didn't talk much. Instead, his wife Du Juan livened up the atmosphere.

Fang Zhuo thought about Du Juanai's behavior after Mr. Huang's accident, and felt that he was really a Mulan-like character.

After the visit, the group went up to another floor and chatted for a while in the CEO office of Hang Lung 23.

Although Gome seems to be quite hostile, since the head of the company came to apply in person, Fang Zhuo believed that there was no room for negotiation and resolution between the two parties, and he himself was more willing to handle the matter peacefully.

Sometimes, Fang Zhuo also thinks about his own style of doing things.

There was a clear breeze and a bright moon, but I misunderstood the ditch.

Family members misunderstood, friends misunderstood.

Is this interesting?

Therefore, this time when Tesco faces competition from Gome, Fang Zhuo hopes to resolve the dispute openly and honestly out of absolute good intentions.

In his opinion, it is very strange for Gome to turn its focus to a small business like its own at this time. Although Gome is known as the number one in the industry, in fact, Suning is only slightly weaker than it.

Under such circumstances, if you don't want to increase your bets on the United States, why do you have to provoke an enemy?

Fang Zhuo did not discuss the small dispute between Tesco and Gome in the office, but instead discussed it over the usual dinner party.

There was another small adjustment before heading to the hotel.

Huang Guangyu didn't even let the accompanying vice president attend the dinner.

In other words, he and his wife are the only two people in Gome.

Fang Zhuo didn't know whether this was a more personal expression or meant that Huang Guangyu could not refer to other people's opinions, but in that case, he made the same adjustment, not bringing along the company's top executives, but only Su Wei.

Huang Guangyu was a little surprised by this.

When the dishes were served and the wine was poured into the glasses, the four of them toasted together as if they were getting to know each other.

Fang Zhuo was thinking about raiding Jinling Xinjiekou in Gome for a chat, but Huang Guangyu spoke directly.

"Mr. Fang, I'm very curious about the field of e-commerce. Why did you choose the B2C model instead of C2C like Alibaba?"

Fang Zhuo listened to this question and answered a real consideration he had at the time: "eBay acquired Excellence, and Ma's C2C Taobao has a broad foundation like Alibaba. It is not easy to compete with them from scratch at this time."

Huang Guangyu smiled: "So, Mr. Fang made e-commerce, and it will be much easier to compete with us, Gome."

"Mr. Huang is worrying too much." Fang Zhuo did not counterattack this unfriendly-sounding remark and said sincerely, "It is true that Tesco has some overlap with the home appliance chain, but in essence, we still position it as an Internet project. .”

"E-goo not only sells 3C electrical appliances, but also sells all products that consumers need. I think..."

When Huang Guangyu heard this, he interrupted directly: "Aside from books, I think what Tesco is promoting is the electrical appliance business. Isn't this some duplication of business?"

"Mr. Huang, you also said that we also attach great importance to the book business." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "What Tesco wants to do is to become the Amazon of the East. It really has no intention to join the competition of domestic home appliance chains."

Huang Guangyu was silent.

Du Juan and Su Wei remained silent and kept listening to the exchange between the two heads.

Fang Zhuo began to pour wine. Seeing that Huang Guangyu remained silent for a while, he took the initiative and said: "Mr. Huang, Tesco is just a start-up project. In my opinion, it is too early to talk about competition with Gome."

"The domestic market, whether it is home appliance chains or e-commerce, will definitely have long-term and huge development."

"We should all move forward at this time. There may be opportunities for cooperation between Tesco and Gome in the future."

Huang Guangyu remained silent.

Seeing this, Fang Zhuo said: "Even if there is competition, it will be in the future. With such a large e-commerce company, how can Gome compete with Suning, Five Star and others?"

He believed that with Huang Guangyu's character, he had to have such a posture.

We are not colleagues. You call your Zhang Jindong and Wang Jianguo.

Huang Guangyu put down his chopsticks and said in a deep voice: "Does Mr. Fang take me, Huang Guangyu, so lightly?"

Fang Zhuo said in surprise: "Mr. Huang, why do you say this?"

"Some people raise chickens and ducks, but I've never heard of anyone raising tigers." Huang Guangyu's bald head flashed with light, "Yigou is the tiger that hasn't grown up yet."

He said seriously: "Tiger will eat people when it grows up. You, Tesco, have set up different regional warehousing centers, and set up secondary warehousing below, and the radiation range will reach the entire domestic market."

“The tiger of Tesco wants to eat our country, the United States!”

Fang Zhuo shook his head repeatedly: "Mr. Huang, worry too much, worry too much. Not to mention, the business content of our website is not only electrical appliances, but also domestic home appliance chains. You, Gome, are number one in the entire industry and maintain strong competition. We are strong and the growth momentum is so strong. If we step back ten thousand steps, even if Tesco wants to eat, it will be Sanlian Trading Co., Ltd., Five Star Electric Appliances and even Suning."

Su Wei, who was watching, thought this was very reasonable. The market is so big and the room for growth is so huge. There is no need to fight at this time. Gome is at its peak, and Tesco has no intention of taking the initiative to attack it directly.

Huang Guangyu poured himself a drink and said: "Sanlian, Five Star, Suning, these are all what Gome wants to eat."

Fang Zhuo was surprised, and he realized that the second richest man in the mainland was confident and domineering. Not only could he not take advantage of Gome's market, he could not take the share of Gome's rivals. This was the end of the story!

Even the second richest man is so impressive. I wonder what kind of style the richest man in the mainland is like?

Fang Zhuo sighed, raised his glass, and took a sip of wine.

Su Wei spoke up: "Mr. Huang, no one can finish the market. Suning has stores all over the country. It is not easy for Gome to keep it under control. Moreover, as the largest market channel today, Gome It’s okay to drive suppliers like this once, but how can we do it again and again?”

Huang Guangyu glanced at the female president of Tesco.

Su Wei added: "There was Gree yesterday, who will it be tomorrow?"

Huang Guangyu answered the question: "You can do it once or twice, but you can do it again and again. Gree's withdrawal is Gree's loss."

His attitude was tough and determined.

Behind this is the revenue support that can reach 18 billion this year, which is expected to be even better next year. It is the industry's number one market share, and it is the confidence that Gome has achieved today after repeated competitions.

Fang Zhuo laughed when he heard what Mr. Huang said: "Does Mr. Huang regard Tesco as a strong competitor? He doesn't want to talk about cooperation at all? Then what are you doing in Shanghai this time? What?"

At this time, Huang Guangyu unexpectedly took a step back: "Mr. Fang, it's not that we don't have room for cooperation."

Fang Zhuo took a sip of wine and motioned for the other person to continue talking.

"You sell Dazhong Electrical Appliances to Gome." Huang Guangyu put forward a condition, "Whatever price you bought it for, I will add 100 million more now."

Fang Zhuo is funny.

Huang Guangyu spit out two words: "200 million."

"Dazhong Electrical Appliances has changed its name to Yigou." Fang Zhuo declined.

Huang Guangyu shook his head regretfully: "Mr. Fang holds Dazhong Electrical Appliances. This is not like there is no strong competition with Gome."

He answered the above question: "I came here to meet Mr. Fang. I met him, and Tesco also visited. It satisfied my curiosity. I hope there is still room for cooperation in the future."

Huang Guangyu stood up directly.

"Why are Mr. Huang so anxious?" Fang Zhuo indicated that there was still a table full of good wine and delicious food.

Huang Guangyu did not answer this, and finally said: "Whenever Mr. Fang wants to sell Dazhong Electrical Appliances in the future, I will add 200 million."

He was about to leave with his wife Du Juan, who politely said goodbye to Fang Zhuo and Su Wei.

"Mr. Huang." Fang Zhuo called to Huang Guangyu who was walking to the door.

Huang Guangyu stopped, not thinking that this person would suddenly change his mind about selling offline channels.

"I love making friends." Fang Zhuo smiled slightly and advised sincerely, "People always have peaks and valleys. Many friends have many paths. Tesco is far from a threat to Gome."

Huang Guangyu waved his hand, saying that he would never change what he believed in. Raising tigers would bring danger and he would not do anything about it.

There were only two people left in the box.

Su Wei shook her head and touched Mr. Fang's glass with her glass: "Stubborn, so stubborn."

"Mr. Dahuang, I'm really in a hurry." Fang Zhuo said lightly.

Su Wei was startled, Mr. Dahuang? That little yellow is always...

She thought of the one from Skyworth.

Fang Zhuo was a little uninterested.

The sincerity was only replaced by more hostility.

I just want to be an e-commerce company with peace of mind!

Why did Dangdang jump out and attack my books?

It’s easy to develop smoothly. Why is Gome attacking my electrical appliances again?

Why are you targeting me?

Dark blue, ____!

"B2C e-commerce is a blue ocean, and Tesco wants to penetrate into this market." Fang Zhuo said, "Our plan to compete with Gome is named 'Deep Blue', and I will be responsible for this in the near future."

Su Wei had no objection to the name of the plan and nodded: "Okay."

"Life is unpredictable." Fang Zhuo changed his juice, "If Tesco wants to develop rapidly, it is not an exaggeration to fight a channel war. If we win, Tesco will be completely established."

Life is unpredictable, big yellow chases little yellow.
