Chapter 506: 502. Either You Die, or I Die (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
After Zhang Ran finished explaining the matter, he did not say anything more, only adding: "There is no rush. If everyone has any questions, you can ask the various city leaders present; they are all here right now, and there is no need to be reserved."
"When doing business, it is best to understand and consider everything clearly so that in the end, you don't end up falling out instead of successfully closing the deal."
After saying this, Zhang Ran raised his wine glass to gesture, then watched these people silently.
"Mr. Zhang, let me ask a question," Zhu Meng spoke up first.
"Please go ahead, Brother Meng," Zhang Ran smiled.
Zhu Meng scratched his head and said, "Mr. Zhang, you had better just call me Old Zhu."
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Why is Brother Meng being so long-winded now? You weren't like this before. You were the one who insisted I call you Brother Meng back then."
Hearing Zhang Ran say this, Zhu Meng's old face turned red, a rare sight, as if he were remembering things from years ago.
However, he quickly recovered and began to discuss the main business: "Mr. Zhang, I just want to ask, if we set up factories here, what about the sales volume?"
"Can Fengli Net handle our products? Looking at the current situation, it should be very difficult for Fengli Net to sell our products, right?"
The others also looked at Zhang Ran one after another; this was the most important issue, while matters of policy were secondary.
Only if the products could be sold would they consider these things.
Their current companies were basically already stable, and their factories were built according to their sales volume.
Now, if they were suddenly asked to build a new branch factory, the expenses involved went without saying, but the most critical point was whether the products could actually be sold.
Xie Mingrui also looked at Zhang Ran, knowing that the outcome of the matter depended on how Zhang Ran guaranteed it.
Zhang Ran smiled faintly: "Fengli Net is indeed not up to the mark right now, but that is hard to say for the future."
"Everyone has seen the situation this time; the online shopping market is already this large, and for many things now, people rarely go to physical stores if they can buy them online."
"Actually, your products are not bad. Why is your market share not very high? A large part of the reason is the issue of promotion and purchasing channels."
"Once these are added to Fengli Net, there will be no problems. Fengli Net will promote your products at that time, and I believe your sales volume will increase."
"As for your worry about whether Fengli Net can handle this, I will tell you: after this, either Fengli Group goes completely bankrupt, or Fengli Group becomes the sole dominant player."
Once these words were spoken, the room fell silent again. Although many people had seen that Zhang Ran was not just trying to deal with Huamei, they were still shocked when Zhang Ran said it out loud.
This was a direct declaration of a decisive battle.
Why are there so many platforms in the online shopping market?
Why has there not been a situation where one company dominates until now?
It is because many foreign capitals saw this market long ago and invested capital into it early on.
This has resulted in everyone basically having financial backers behind them, each with their own capital, and no one dares to say they can crush another.
They dare not start a major war casually, because the funds consumed would be terrifying.
And today, Zhang Ran said this; it is not only confidence in the Huaxia online shopping market, but also a declaration of war against the capital behind those platforms!
Li Da took a deep breath and spoke again: "I believe in Mr. Zhang. Since Mr. Zhang has said so, our Li Da Group will fully support Mr. Zhang."
"From today on, until the battle ends, our Li Da Group's products will be sold on Fengli Net at cost price."
Li Da's words left many people astonished. Although everyone was somewhat grateful to Zhang Ran, this gratitude was not that heavy, and in their hearts, it was not worth paying such a high price for.
Their main purpose in coming this time was actually to build a connection with Zhang Ran, as he had risen again and stood once more at a height they could only look up to.
Li Da's intention was very clear: he was going to advance and retreat with Zhang Ran!
Li Da's son, Li Xin, was stunned; he did not expect his father to express his stance so urgently.
Zhang Ran was also slightly stunned, then looked deeply at Li Da: "President Li, thank you!"
He only raised his glass and said this one sentence, without saying a word more.
Since Li Da had taken the lead in stating his position, the others looked at each other, and some began to hesitate.
The second person to state his position was Zhu Meng, but he was more slick. Although he looked rough, his mind was very delicate, or rather, his courage was actually far inferior to the seemingly refined Li Da.
"Mr. Zhang, I am also willing to fully support you. When I go back, I will have our company coordinate with Fengli Net," Zhu Meng said.
He did not say he would sell at cost price like Li Da, but remained ambiguous.
However, this also achieved Zhang Ran's goal. Zhang Ran never expected these people to support him with such great effort; this was already enough.
Afterwards, everyone spoke up one after another, but their meanings were the same as Zhu Meng's: they would provide some support, but certainly not as fully as Li Da.
Next, Xie Mingrui would be the one to contact these people, and everyone was expressing an attitude.
That is, they could build factories here, but they must wait until this online shopping market battle is over.
Xie Mingrui was already very happy to receive such an answer, and at the same time, he began to look forward to Zhang Ran winning this e-commerce battle.
After finishing this meal, Zhang Ran left the next day and returned to Shanghai.
And from this day on, the e-commerce market stirred again. From this day on, Fengli Net also showed its true purpose; it was no longer just staring at Huamei, but had set its sights on the entire market.
For a time, the situation was turbulent, and all e-commerce platforms felt immense pressure; the offensive from Fengli Group was simply too fierce.
It is unknown how Fengli Net negotiated, but the discount rates for many shops were unimaginably large, catching other platforms off guard.
Within just three days, some other e-commerce platforms actually showed a trend of retreating step by step.
This caused many people's jaws to drop; no one expected Fengli Net to be so fierce once it exerted its power.
Of course, the funds consumed by these battle results were also beyond what many people imagined; at the very least, Zhang Ran had already begun to mobilize funds to provide support.
At the same time, other shareholders of Fengli Net also began to inject capital one after another. At this time, Zhang Ran did not force them to inject capital, but they also understood that if they did not inject capital now, and if they really won, their gains would be reduced accordingly.
