Reinventing the Millennium.

Tesco's shareholders are very happy.

No, most of Tesco's shareholders are very happy.

Taobao is coming, should Tesco be launched?
Of course, we have to fight, the market is to fight!
Can we win this time?
I don't know if I can win, but the opponent always has confidence!
As long as Fang always has a firm determination, it can never be worse than now in this fast-developing market!
The meeting room was full of fighting spirit and high morale. This time, it was the capital that was pushing the party to fight!
The shareholders meeting has been held for a long time, and I finally came from afar. Not only can I listen to Mr. Fang's hesitation, but also to listen to Mr. Su's overview of the operation.

At 09:30 in the evening, everyone ended the mobilization meeting with satisfaction.

Fang Zhuo shook hands with Zhixin, Jinxin, Tiankai and other new friends one by one and said goodbye one by one, and made an appointment to see you in the company tomorrow. Then, he invited old friends to have a late night snack, so as to thoroughly consolidate the foundation of this fund.

"Mr. Fang, Tesco needs financing, just say it." Xiong Xiaoge chatted with Mr. Fang on the way to the restaurant.

"Old Bear, I really can play or not, it depends on what everyone means. You know, I have been busy with my mobile phone recently. If it wasn't for President Ma who wanted to do it this time, I really wouldn't bother everyone." Fang Zhuo said.

Xiong Xiaoge automatically ignored Mr. Fang's sincerity and asked, "I didn't ask you in front of so many people just now. Last time you said that Tesco will burn for three years, so it's not a good deal if the market is not good, and it will burn later. A few years, three more years, okay?"

Fang Zhuo said angrily, "Old Bear, what's your tone and what do you mean?"

Xiong Xiaoge said lightly: "I trust you very much, I understand you very much, I believe that you will be able to go public in three years."

Fang Zhuo was no longer angry, and he pondered: "Maybe it won't take three years, the brothers want to fight, so I can only fight, but Taobao has become a general trend, and the two sides will touch to shape the domestic e-commerce order, crowding out similar small and medium players. , there is no harm in going public.”

Xiong Xiaoge nodded slowly, this is always the truth.

This time, although he was also surprised by the strong signal released by Taobao, he was not too worried about Tesco.

Xiong Xiaoge knows the situation of Tesco. Although the investment is large, the warehousing and logistics are extremely solid. This is not an element that Taobao can keep up with in a while, and even Taobao is willing to talk about it.

He doesn't believe that people like Mr. Fang can't do Tesco when they have money and scale.

But then again...

"Mr. Fang, you have a lot of changes brewing this year. The global financial market is in turmoil, and Yike's mobile phones are facing fierce competition from major manufacturers. I heard that you have a foot in SMIC, and now Taobao is entering B2C. "Xiong Xiaoge was a little worried about the pressure from the multi-line challenge.

Many enterprises and projects are not without good conditions, but because of strategic mistakes, the ending is not beautiful.

Fang Zhuo said sincerely: "This year, 2008 is indeed a lot of changes. There are opportunities in the financial crisis. Ike mobile phones have gained a firm foothold, and the e-commerce market has continued to develop. We will introduce new international customers in the next month.”

Xiong Xiaoge looked sideways at Mr. Fang.

Fang Zhuo smiled back.

Xiong Xiaoge nodded silently.

There were only five people in the supper, Fang Zhuo, Su Wei, Xu Xin, Xiong Xiaoge, and Wang Fengyi, all of whom were old acquaintances.

Everyone didn't talk about the operation of Tesco when they were eating. Instead, they talked about gossip in the industry, including Taobao's personnel change this time. "God of Wealth" Sun Tongyu is definitely very capable, and his daughter-in-law "Lin Daiyu" Peng Lei Also high level.

Under such circumstances, Ma Nian wanted to move Sun Tongyu, but he didn't know what the inside story was, and he didn't know that Peng Lei was still moving.

A few people guessed for a while.

Fang Zhuo was not very interested in this. Seeing them gossip so much, he simply called the person who left to ask about the situation.

It's a pity that the other four people wanted to face and jointly discouraged such behavior.

They couldn't stab the chatter behind their backs in front of the parties like Mr. Fang did.

After supper, Xu Xin asked a little about the financing this time, but before Fang Zhuo could answer, Wang Fengyi spoke in disapproval.

"As President Fang said, the troops and horses have not moved (this chapter is not over!)

Grain comes first. "

"If everyone wants to fight, then put money in."

"If everyone doesn't fight, then wait and invest money. This pre-market staking will always require money."

"Early votes and late votes are all shots, early and late shots are all shots, new sister, don't you think?"

Wang Fengyi babbled a bunch, holding back what Xu Xin and Fang Zhuo wanted to say.

Xu Xin is a little funny, this stuff...

Fang Zhuo raised a glass of wine and praised, "Brother Wang, you know how to invest."

Wang Fengyi nodded reservedly and touched his glass. Even in front of President Xiong and President Xu, he knew how to invest.

Xiong Xiaoge and Xu Xin didn't speak, and they also had a cup of tea.

"Let's just leave it at that, everything that needs to be said has been said. If there are no surprises in the subsequent financing, Tesco will not consider introducing new investors." Fang Zhuo said, "Taobao will not be able to reach the door for a while, and Tesco's warehousing will not be available. And the logistics system still needs to be built, and the prospect of listing is not good now, we can get a better price on Nasdaq in two or three years.”

Xiong Xiaoge finally asked: "The financing of Tesco is no problem, should the electric appliance co-brands also be maintained so that they won't be taken away by Taobao?"

Fang Zhuo raised his wrist and glanced at the time: "Zhang Xuebin should be on the plane at this meeting. Tomorrow, there will be several high-level brand executives coming to talk about it. With Taobao's traffic, it is impossible to completely block the brand cooperation. , Tesco just needs to stabilize the electrical appliance brand that is most suitable for online.”

Not all appliance brands are suitable for e-commerce today.

For example, Tesco and Gree also had symbolic cooperation against Gome, but this did not deepen, but only superficial.

The biggest reason is that Gree is vigorously building its own channel system and is reluctant to let online sales impact its own dealers.

Fang Zhuo and Dong Mingzhu had a good chat, but the reality of the two companies is here, and there is no closer contact.

On the contrary, Ni Lanfeng, Changhong and Meiling under Zhang Xuebin are the most suitable electrical appliance companies for Tesco.

E-commerce is doing e-commerce, especially in the initial stage, one of the biggest problems is how to get enough cheap products, which can benefit consumers as much as possible.

On the one hand, centralized procurement has bargaining power. With the increase in traffic, this part of the bargaining power is also increasing. On the other hand, the inventory products of those household appliance companies are natural hits.

Changhong's previous large inventory due to its strategy is a major source of profits for Tesco.

However, Changhong's inventory has gradually been digested, and it has also begun to face a problem of new product channels and prices, but compared with Gree, the difficulty of communication between the two parties is much less.

Changhong does not have a huge dealer system like Gree, so Lilan distribution will not have so many scruples.

Gree and Changhong are the two extremes of the cooperation between Tesco and electrical appliance brands. The relationship between other brands such as Haier, Midea and TCL is within this range. The strength of cooperation depends not only on their own situation, but also on mutual sincerity.

When Fang Zhuo and Tesco executives talked about this kind of cooperation, it was still the old way--high-speed development allows both parties to tolerate small problems.

Tesco is actively increasing the traffic of e-commerce B2C, and brands always need more traffic.

This is the biggest basis for our cooperation.

The next morning, Fang Zhuo met Zhang Xuebin who arrived in Shanghai at night before the official meeting with institutional shareholders.

Zhang Xuebin is quite popular now. Changhong and Meiling, who are in charge, have come out of the haze and become the first-line brands of LCD TVs.

The former head Ni Lanfeng found a channel to clear the inventory before retiring, and forcibly established the direction of switching to LCD TVs. He supported Zhang Xuebin first Meiling and then Changhong, which almost paved the way for his glory.

Zhang Xuebin himself is also very capable, and he did not live up to Ni Lanfeng's series of actions. Even if he encountered a foreign anti-dumping crisis in the middle, he landed in an orderly and stable manner. Such achievements also made the retired Ni Lanfeng gradually gain a better reputation.

Fang Zhuo and Lao Ni have a good relationship. His son Ni Boren is now working well in Yike's supply chain, but he is far from Zhang Xuebin.

This time I saw Zhang Xuebin, and he also had certain expectations in his heart. After Tesco stabilized the investment intentions of shareholders (this chapter is not over!)
678 Home appliances to the countryside 4k
Stronger brand partnerships need to be established.

However, Changhong and Meiling have gradually become excellent LCD TV brands. Will they also build a dealer system with greater efforts like Gree? This is a matter that needs to be communicated.

Zhang Xuebin, who arrived at the President's Office on the 23rd floor of Hang Lung, was a little unexpectedly polite.

Fang Zhuo originally thought that the head of the company, who had achieved excellent results for the company, would be more... "high-spirited".

The simple courtesy on both sides, but Zhang Xuebin took the initiative to mention the business, and it was an angle that surprised Fang Zhuo.

"Mr. Fang, what do you think of the subprime debt crisis?" Zhang Xuebin asked after putting down the teacup.

Fang Zhuo was stunned, there was a sense of dislocation in New York, the situation in Syria, ah no, what do you think of this subprime debt crisis, it is very dangerous...

Zhang Xuebin saw Mr. Fang pondering, and continued with a dignified expression: "Mr. Fang, do you think this crisis will have a wider impact? Since last year, our overseas orders have been declining, and at the end of last year, domestic Lu and Henan activities were underway again. , the pilot home appliances to the countryside in the three provinces of Sichuan..."

He knows that Mr. Fang is often abroad, and he also knows that Mr. Fang has a deep administrative relationship. One is to be invited, the second is to hear Mr. Fang's judgment, and the third is to cooperate with Tesco.

Fang Zhuo glanced at Zhang Xuebin, who was still very keen.

Home appliances going to the countryside is not only about home appliance companies, but also about Tesco, which takes this direction as its core selling point.

Originally, I wanted to talk about the factors of the times that can drive the development of both parties. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xuebin also has this consideration.

This is better to talk about.

The pilot notice issued on November 07, 11 is from December 15 to the end of May this year. It will work in Shandong, Henan, and Sichuan provinces for half a year. The farmers will be subsidized for purchasing subsidized household appliances, and the above will bear the subsidies. 12% of the total, and the local government bears 1%.

The subsidized home appliances include color TVs, refrigerators and mobile phones.

Fang Zhuo did not say how to judge, but only said the result: "This pilot will definitely extend the time, expand the scope of the province, and also increase the types of subsidized products."

Zhang Xuebin listened to Mr. Fang's firm words and his eyes were bright. Such attitude and information brought different business strategies.

He turned his thoughts, the stakes were very important, and he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Fang, are you sure?"

"Escoop finalized a new financing intention yesterday, and there is a formal meeting today. The biggest use of this financing is to build a logistics system, so that Tesco's service range can be larger and faster." Fang Zhuo After talking about his own situation, he said, "I am very sure that the development of the company is to follow the trend. This is an opportunity for home appliance companies and an opportunity for Changhong and Meiling."

Zhang Xuebin nodded slowly, Tesco is about to raise money again.

Tesco is now No.2 in e-commerce B1C. This financing is not only to deal with Taobao, but also to prepare for new demands?

Zhang Xuebin believes that this logic is smooth, and similarly, the news can be easily verified.

The prophet of Chunjiang Plumbing Duck, Mr. Fang, always has more sensitive news.

"Mr. Fang, you know about us Changhong and Meiling. Both of them are now making LCD TVs. We have repeatedly researched and thought that Meiling can continue to take care of TVs and refrigerators, while Changhong is a diversification of electrical appliances." Zhang Xuebin directly pulled the topic. When it comes to his own business, "Mr. Ni often tells me that if you are undecided, you can ask Mr. Fang for advice. Taking this opportunity, I really have a lot of questions and want to ask a teacher for advice."

Fang Zhuo waved his hand: "Hey, why don't you ask for advice? I'm a layman. You and Mr. Ni are both experts. There is no reason for a layman to guide an expert, but I have to say that this time home appliances go to the countryside can greatly promote the development of enterprises. And to stimulate the demand for products, just take this one to stroke, no matter what.”

"As for the division of labor between Changhong and Meiling, you still have to talk to Lao Ni. He is now outside the bureau and is more sober when he sees everything."

Fang Zhuo said what he could say and did not want to mislead his children, but he felt that Mr. Zhang’s thinking was right. Changhong and Meiling have overlapping business, which is a problem that needs to be solved. , can also expand the boundaries of the product.

China is a big market that can accommodate the success of more companies and products. This (this chapter is not over!)

If you dare to take action and invest in the stage, you will have a great opportunity.

Zhang Xuebin silently remembered Mr. Fang's point to the end, and planned to visit Mr. Ni after this trip. He knew that Mr. Ni and Mr. Fang had a better relationship, and he could ask more news from there.

Seeing an upcoming meeting at 09:30 am.

At the end of the meeting, Zhang Xuebin took the initiative to express his position: "Mr. Fang, Taobao has approached us three or four times, and recently again, and every time my attitude is very clear, we have a strategic partnership with Tesco. Nothing will change."

Fang Zhuo smiled, nodded lightly and said, "Well, if you combine it, both will benefit. Boss Li and the others will be here this afternoon. It just so happens that I invite everyone to visit our No. [-] warehouse in Kunshan, which is even more beautifully expanded. , I think the logistics that Tesco insists on building will be a powerful complement to everyone's cooperation."

He got up and shook hands with Zhang Xuebin, for Tesco to further consolidate the willingness of important partners after financing.
