Chapter 1067 Lost the Bet
In the conference room.
Li Dong lit a cigarette and smoked, Shen Qian got up and opened the window.
Seeing him frowning and thinking, Shen Qian said softly: "Why are you starting to worry again? Didn't you say that at this time, we should restrain our edge, develop in a low-key way, and pass the nirvana period?"
"Low profile doesn't mean no development."
Li Dong flicked the cigarette ash, knocked on the table with the other hand, and pondered: "What I mean by restraining your edge is just not to offend too many colleagues recently.
Things like the battle with Suguo and Carrefour should be avoided if possible.
But for normal development and expansion, it is still necessary.
We are standing on our laurels now, and it won't be long before we will be surpassed by others and fall behind by a large margin. "
Shen Qian said: "But now Yuanfang is really unsustainable, the investment exceeds the profit by dozens of times, and it has been in a period of rapid expansion.
Maybe stop and take a break, which is more suitable for the present distance. "
Li Dong shook his head: "Not yet."
"Not yet?" Shen Qian smiled wryly.
In the past, she thought it would be great if Li Dong could make the group reach the tens of billions level.
A grassroots around 20 years old, isn't the 10 billion group not enough?
When Yuanfang entered the tens of billions group sequence, Li Dong was still working hard and struggling as always. At that time, she felt that Li Dong was so amazing.
There are a few people who, from having nothing to this point, can still maintain their original intentions.
Enjoyment, this word is rarely experienced in Li Dong.
When Yuanfang entered the 100 billion group sequence, Shen Qian felt that Li Dong should be satisfied, right?
The Hundred Billion Group, even Shen Qian hadn't thought about it, nor had she expected it.
Her biggest expectation for Li Dong was that Li Dong could surpass Shen Shi, and Li Dong did it, in the shortest time.
At that time, Shen Qian actually had no desire to fight.
But Li Dong is not satisfied until now, and is still working hard, Shen Qian is a little surprised at his ambition.
Feeling a little turmoil in her heart, Shen Qian said softly: "It's been almost five years since Yuanfang, actually, I think you can take a little rest.
In the past five years, you have been tense and put too much pressure on yourself.
Development and expansion is not something that can be seen in a day or two. You have been pursuing the fastest speed, and it is difficult for everyone to keep up with you.
Take it easy, it's still a long time.
You have become the richest man at your current age, you must always give people who come after you a glimmer of hope to surpass them, and stop setting a benchmark that is difficult for them to break. "
Shen Qian's last sentence seemed to be a joke, but it was actually the truth.
In the business field, Li Dong has indeed achieved miracles at his age.
One record after another has been broken, and one miracle after another has been surpassed.
It looks easy, but in reality it's not that easy.
Now it's the fifth year in the distance, has Li Dong rested in five years? Ever relax?
Hard-working people also get tired sometimes, not to mention that Li Dong is not hard-working.
During this period of time, Shen Qian had already discovered that Li Dong was mentally exhausted and had been holding on all the time.
Let's just talk about a meeting today, just a few words.
But how long did Li Dong prepare for this meeting?
He has to weigh the interests of the group, consider the interests of the directors, and make plans for future development.
Just business reorganization, Li Dong has been thinking about it since the beginning of the year, this is not a casual talk.
Although he is a dictator, it doesn't mean that Li Dong really has no plans and no purpose.
If his point of view is really worthless, even if he is a dictator, would people like Yuan Chengdao, Sun Tao, and Chen Lang really agree?
It is precisely because he said the point that everyone has no opinion.
Otherwise, even if the distance belongs to Li Dong, these people would not acquiesce so easily.
The future of the group needs him to plan, the distribution of benefits within the group also needs to be weighed by him, and the threats outside the group also need to be resolved by him.
These things are all exhausting work.
After five years, Shen Qian was really worried that he would not be able to last.
Now Li Dong still has to take a big leap, maybe Yuanfang will be stronger after this time, but Shen Qian also understands how much pressure Li Dong has to bear during this time.
Misappropriating 20 billion in payment for goods is not something that can be settled in a meeting.
The risks and pressures involved need to be borne by Li Donglai.
After all, Yuan Chengdao and the others are just executors, and when the time comes, they just pat their butts and leave.
Can Li Dong pat his ass and leave?
Instead of taking pressure and risks to move forward, it is better to develop step by step, which can also make Li Dong more relaxed.
Because of this, Shen Qian objected at the meeting.
Otherwise, according to her personality, she has always supported Li Dong in doing things.
But this time, she also hesitated.
Li Dong took the last puff of his cigarette, stubbed it out, and exhaled: "Without pressure, there is no motivation.
While I am still young, I can count a few years if I can fight for a few years.
At this time, I still have this idea, and in a few years, I may not have this idea anymore. "
"That……"
Shen Qian hesitated slightly and said, "Do you really want to pay for the goods?"
"Well, after all, the money is where it is." Li Dong twisted his neck and said, "Actually, I have thought about the possible risks before.
But according to my idea, the risk is not too great.
Yuanfang's payment cycle is only 45 days, which is the shortest in the industry.
For other companies, 90 days is considered normal.
Gome has half a year. The bank has not given Gome a loan in the past few years, and people are still living comfortably. Who in the industry doesn't know that they use the mortgage loan?
Suning is similar, how can they develop so fast without using the payment?
It is almost a recognized unspoken rule to use money to expand.
I think it's not as mysterious as everyone imagined, even if someone guides it, it may not be that someone will come forward.
Taking a step back, even if the supplier breaks the contract and asks for debts, this lawsuit alone is enough for us to fight for a while.
When the lawsuit is over and it's time to ask for money, we should have money on our books.
In fact, according to my prediction, when the situation in the distance is good, the supplier is not a fool, and may not be encouraged.
Who is not like this?
When we came to our place, we were worried that we would go bankrupt, or did I run away with the money? "
Shen Qian was not in a hurry to speak, she thought for a while before saying: "Then are you planning to extend the payment cycle?"
After all, if the cycle is not extended, the 45-day payment will not meet Li Dong's expectations.
Only by extending it to three months can Li Dong's goal be achieved.
Li Dong shook his head and said, "I really haven't thought about it, the reason why the suppliers are giving us discounts and the channels are spreading so smoothly is because we have a short time to pay.
At present, if the cycle is extended, I am afraid there will be a lot of trouble.
Besides, I didn't say that all 20 billion will be used as payment for goods, 12 billion is enough. "
"12 billion, but there is still a gap of more than 8 billion..."
"Sell the land!"
"Sell the land?"
"Yes." Li Dong was about to smoke a second cigarette, but Shen Qian snatched the cigarette case from his hand and persuaded: "Smoking less, it's not good for your health."
Li Dong smiled, but didn't insist.
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of the strong tea, he continued: "It's just selling land, and now Dongyu has stockpiled dozens of pieces of land.
Except for some plots, we plan to keep them for our own development.
I'm going to sell the rest. After paying off the land transfer fee, we still have a lot left.
I don't think it's too difficult to make up 8 billion.
And after repaying the land transfer fee, our debt ratio on the books may be as low as 20%.
At that time, it will be easy to get some loans without too much pressure.
The reason why everyone is so worried now is that money is only one aspect. I think they are still not optimistic about our urban complex project.
The total investment of ten urban complexes is close to 50 billion. This is probably their biggest concern.
After all, the market is not good this year, and everyone is unwilling to spend so much money on it. "
Shen Qian nodded and said, "Part of the reason is in it, it's not that I don't like it, the main reason is that the payment cycle of commercial real estate is too long.
To be honest, everyone here in the distance has not experienced this kind of transformation.
It will take 10 years or even longer to get the money back. It is normal for everyone to have doubts. "
"Hey, trouble!"
Li Dong sighed with emotion, it is indeed troublesome.
There are still enemies on the outside. If the inside cannot be consistent, under the attack of the inside and outside, maybe there will be mistakes.
The most urgent task is to convince the company these talents.
Although Li Dong can forcefully pass this plan, if everyone has resistance, the next work will not be easy to carry out.
Li Dong thought about it for a while, and finally said: "Let's let it go for now. After a while, when the real estate market picks up, everyone should understand."
This is also his idea. The reason why everyone has doubts now is the cold winter of the real estate market is a very important reason.
When the market starts to pick up, Wu Shengnan may be impatient if others don't say it.
"Then just wait." Seeing that he had given up temporarily, Shen Qian was relieved.
In Shen Qian's view, the recovery of the real estate market is inevitable.
But it's hard to say this time, anyway, it's good to be free for a while, if she keeps turning the axis, she is worried that Li Dong will be too busy to hold on.
After saying a few more words, Shen Qian suddenly said, "Tomorrow is your birthday, how do you plan to celebrate it?"
"It's birthday again?" Li Dong said with emotion: "Time makes people old..."
Shen Qian glanced at him sullenly, is it appropriate to say this in front of me?
"Don't celebrate, little birthday, so as not to cause trouble."
Li Dong is really trying to save trouble, his birthday is actually not a trouble, the trouble is his birthday, which can easily lead to melee.
Yuhan was coming back this afternoon, so he probably came back just in time for his birthday.
Shen Qian also wants to celebrate his birthday, if Hu Xiaorui is added, it will be even more chaotic.
"Then have dinner together tomorrow, and I'll order a cake for you."
Li Dong waved his hand and said, "No need..."
"How can I do that! Anyway, it's also a birthday, so I can't even leave the cake, and besides, the promotion month ends tomorrow, and this time the performance is very good, even if it's for this, I have to celebrate."
"This...then you can figure it out."
Li Dong couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.
...
Li Dong has just returned to the office.
Qin Hai and Tan Haiying followed behind.
Seeing that both of them had arrived, Li Dong smiled and said, "Sit down, Haiying, Lao Liu encouraged you to come?"
Tan Haiying hurriedly said, "No, I'm here to report to Mr. Li."
"Wait a minute, Mr. Qin, you go ahead and talk."
Qin Hai had nothing else to do, and said after hearing the words: "It's still about the opening of the logistics park, there were a lot of things just now, so I didn't talk about it.
But when it comes to opening, it's up to you to decide. "
"Opening..."
Li Dong thought for a while and asked Tan Haiying, "Will the Wanka mobile phone terminal be launched in October?"
"Um."
"What about the international version of Weibo?"
"It's also October."
Li Dong smiled and said: "Then October 1st, the National Day is a celebration, let's go together.
There has been no movement in the distance for a while, and I have a surprise for everyone on the National Day. "
Qin Hai and Tan Haiying didn't make a sound. There was no movement for a while?
Just kidding.
The charity meeting some time ago, then the 7.18 big promotion, and the previous merger and acquisition of Carrefour...
Things happened one after another, and there was still no movement.
Now in the business world, there is the most movement in the distance, one after another, if Li Dong's plan is passed again, I am afraid there will be another wave of disturbance.
But Qin Hai didn't refute, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements, but I think that on the National Day... some leaders in the province may not have time to attend."
"That's true. How about postponing it for a few days? Reopening on the 2nd?"
Qin Hai was speechless, your will is too unstable.
But No. 2 is actually quite good, avoiding the edge of National Day, Qin Hai nodded and said: "No. 2 is more suitable."
"Well, you can figure it out."
After Li Dong finished speaking, he said, "Is there anything else to be done?"
"Not currently, but the storage problem mentioned earlier..."
"Let's wait for this. Everyone is against it. I have to think about it."
Qin Hai didn't speak any more, seeing that Tan Haiying was still waiting, he nodded to Li Dong and said, "Then I'll go first."
Li Dong sent him out, Tan Haiying was slightly puzzled, but didn't think much about it.
After Qin Hai left, Tan Haiying said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Li, the promotion month will end tonight. Our performance this month is very good, much higher than we expected."
"How many?"
"By early morning, 24.5 billion will probably be fine."
"good!"
Li Dong praised, "It's really good. In one promotion month, the performance has increased five times, and it's still on a huge base.
Now that e-commerce has not yet reached its peak, the monthly performance of 24.5 billion has exceeded many people's expectations.
The three supermarkets of China Resources, Bailian, and Yuanfang combined may not necessarily have so many supermarkets in a month.
Of course, revenue is revenue, and profits are not so high.
Although e-commerce costs can be saved a lot, but this time they are all promotional prices, and the profit margin is not too big.
After Li Dong boasted, he asked again: "Where is Taobao?"
"18 billion."
The corner of Li Dong's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, "It seems that I lost this time."
If you lose, you will naturally have to advertise for Taobao for a month.
It's not a big deal, but that old Ma guy might be a little bit embarrassing.
It's not good to be familiar with people. If you didn't know each other before, even if you want to laugh at your opponent, you just keep it in your heart, or say a few words in your own company.
But now that they are familiar, and they are still in the same group, I am afraid there will be some noise at night.
