Chapter 1258: The Beginning of Mergers and Acquisitions
Li Hu Xiaorui's birthday party made Li Dong start the promotion of the whole province.
The establishment of the Internet financial system is done step by step.
It wasn't for Li Dong chanting a few slogans that the matter would be done.
Some things are easier said than done.
What seems simple to you is actually more complicated than you imagined.
Why do customers trust you?
Why do consumers trust you?
That is to say, now that Li Dong is famous and influential, he has the qualifications and the capital to carry out rapid promotion.
To change a company, it is difficult to go step by step, and slowly affect the penetration.
In the previous life, Alipay was established in 2004, launched the mobile payment service in 2008, and began to develop the code scanning payment service in 10 years.
But the promotion was very difficult. At that time, Ma Yun did not have the influence and strength he has today.
It took Ali 4 years to complete the pre-preparation and negotiation, as well as the communication with various departments!
It was not until 2014 that payment by scanning codes was accepted by the public.
Then, in order to promote the business and make it known to the public, it took several years for Ali to gradually improve the scanning payment business.
Even so, until Li Dong was reborn, in 2016, payment by scanning the code failed to occupy half of the country.
In the past 6 years, I promoted a business, and even quit the field of offline code scanning frequently in the middle, and even the central bank began to stop it.
The difficulties involved may be difficult for the public who enjoy the convenience of scanning codes to understand.
At this time, Li Dong started to promote this business at the end of 2008. Before the smart phone was turned on, it was more difficult for him to promote this business than Ma Yun.
However, there are some roads that you decide to take, so you have to be prepared to accept difficulties.
The second person to enter, sitting back and enjoying the benefits sounds cool, but it is actually cool.
But the first is the first. The public has different perceptions of you, different influences, and different market shares.
Li Dong, who has been reborn, has to wait for Ma Yun to stand up and promote, and then he often enjoys the results?
Although Li Dong is thick-skinned, sometimes being thick-skinned doesn't mean anything.
He also wants to achieve higher achievements and gain greater recognition.
Even if these businesses are not his original creations, that's okay. Now, Li Dong can proudly say that I did all the promotion and foreshadowing in the early stage!
Opening up the relationship with the government, opening up the relationship with the central bank, and settling all difficulties and obstacles are all done by Li Dong. <>
In this way, it also makes the sense of accomplishment more refreshing, at least Li Dong feels that he has paid.
Some people may say that since it is so difficult, it is better not to promote it at all. A code-scanning payment includes the entire Internet financial field, and it seems that it has not had much impact.
If you pay in cash, don’t you still live comfortably?
If you don’t shop online, why don’t you still live for so many years?
Without Internet finance, everyone can spend less money.
For these views, Li Dong has always been too lazy to refute. The benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom. In other words, what is necessary in this world?
It is enough to eat and drink enough, and the primitive people still survived.
...
On December 14th, Shen Qian and Chen Lang went to Xiangjiang together.
Li Dong attached great importance to Gome's M&A business, and people like Shen Qian and Chen Lang also attached great importance to it.
This step is completed, Yuanfang will completely establish the status of the retail king, and it will no longer be a lame walk.
The king of online retail, the king of offline retail.
The home appliance and department store industry has opened up online and offline channels at the same time, and at the same time dominates the domestic market. It has stabilized. In the next ten or even twenty years, there is no need to worry about it in the distance.
On the same day, Du Juan called Li Donglai.
"The board of directors agreed!"
When Du Juan said this,
There is a sense of relief like a heavy burden, a sense of anxiety, and a little bit of confusion about the future.
Li Dong, a cancer in the industry.
In fact, this cancer is not only a derogatory name, but also the awe of Li Dong in the industry.
A terrifying person, he never concealed his ambition, that is to be a unique king.
But even so, you can't stop it.
The former department store giants, Suguo and Carrefour, have completely collapsed and achieved the department store business in the distance.
In the field of home appliances, Li Dong has initially set foot in the field of offline home appliances. Many people are predicting that, perhaps, Gome is the stepping stone for Li Dong's rise in the field of offline home appliances.
Du Juan knew all these rumors.
But she was really tired and tired.
She doesn't want to introduce Li Dong, but once she refuses, Gome will bear pressure and blows from multiple directions.
Li Dong is a slow poison. If you don't take it, the poison outside will be more violent.
If you take it, you will not die now, maybe you will never die, but after all, it is poison, not good medicine. <>
Now, Du Juan has to eat.
If she didn't take this poison, she would have to take a more poisonous medicine. The lesser of two evils, both Du Juan and Lao Huang knew how to choose.
So, Du Juan finally compromised.
Li Dong was not surprised, he just smiled lightly and said, "When can I sign the contract?"
Du Juan forced a smile and said, "Anytime is fine, of course, if Mr. Li wants to be quicker.
Before the end of the month, the board will be restructured.
Mr. Li entered before this, so as not to make difficult arrangements later. "
As the current top three major shareholders of Gome, Li Dong has the right to send directors, including executive directors!
The board of directors was reorganized, and Li Dong had to arrange for people to go there.
According to the shareholding ratio, Li Dong can send at least one director. If Li Dong strongly demands, both of them may be able to do so.
Of course, boards sometimes don't really matter.
In many cases, the general meeting of shareholders is the most important thing, and there is not much difference between one person or two people.
But Li Dong still smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will become the next chairman of Gome's board of directors?"
Du Juan said calmly: "If Mr. Li is willing to resign from afar, we have no reason to refuse.
But part-time work is fine, Gome has a lot of business, so it is not suitable for part-time work. "
Li Dong smiled and said: "Forget it, I went to the United States, there are too many mothers-in-law, I'd better be my king of the mountain.
How about this, I will go to the capital on the 16th, and I still need to hold a press conference for this kind of thing.
I'm here to cheer Gome, how does Mr. Du feel? "
"The most welcome!"
Du Juan's words are by no means sarcastic, but sincere welcome.
Today's Gome needs a booster.
Otherwise, let Lao Huang out.
Otherwise, there are powerful figures involved.
Li Dong's personal attendance is of great significance, and may bring a major turning point for Gome, which is now in a slump.
Therefore, Li Dong went in person, and Du Juan sincerely welcomed him.
Hearing this, Li Dong chatted with her for a few words, and finally said: "For the matter of funds, can installments be okay?"
Du Juan: "..."
At this time, Du Juan really wanted to kill someone.
Gome has reached such a difficult time. When you said this, did you touch your conscience?
Of course, the funding this time has nothing to do with Gome. <>
Because it is the shareholders who transfer the shares, the funds are their own and will not be injected into the group.
However, the 200 million Li Dong spent online still belonged to the group.
All other money is their personal.
Nowadays, everyone's life is difficult, and some funds are withdrawn, which is considered safe.
Li Dong said installment, but Du Juan was of course unwilling.
And Du Juan also had her own ideas, this time she had to transfer 3% of the shares, and Huang's shareholding ratio dropped to 35%.
The ratio of 35% is not guaranteed, and she is planning to repurchase some shares, all of which need money.
Selling to Li Dong was a helpless move.
Only by taking the money and continuing to repurchase part of it can she feel at ease.
If the other shareholders were not willing to continue the transfer, Du Juan would not even be willing to give 3%. At present, it seems that they can only wait for the resumption of trading and repurchase from the secondary market.
And all of this requires money!
Du Juan didn't speak, Li Dong naturally understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "I'm just kidding, Mr. Du, don't take it seriously.
I, Li Dong, are not short of money, and I don't want to play this game with you.
As soon as the deal is concluded, the money will arrive in full within one month. Mr. Du has no objection to this, right? "
One month is definitely a short time for such a large-scale transaction.
Du Juan wanted to pay the money and deliver the goods, but she also knew that this was unrealistic, so she responded, "Okay!"
"Then it's settled. When I get to the capital, let's talk about it in detail."
"..."
After hanging up the phone, Li Dong asked Bai Su to inform Yuan Chengdao and Sun Tao to come together.
As soon as the two arrived, Li Dong said in a deep voice: "The funds must be prepared as soon as possible, Du Juan agreed!
This time, Gome's first phase payment is as high as 1.8 billion, and Fukang's 1.5 billion should be closed as soon as possible to implement this transaction to prevent future changes.
In other words, 3.3 billion in cash must be prepared now.
I will go to the capital the day after tomorrow, and Mr. Sun will accompany me. The money must arrive before the end of the month.
Whether I embezzle it from the Faraway City project or from other places, the money must arrive immediately.
As for other money, it can be slowed down for the time being. "
Yuan Chengdao subconsciously said: "The other 2% shares..."
Li Dong said with a smile: "I owe it first, and then talk about it later."
Although the acquisition of Gome was an act of a distant group, Gome has not been merged into a retail group, and it is actually Li Dong's personal act at present.
As for whether the group owes it or oneself owes it, it doesn't make much difference.
Unless it is merged into a retail group in the later stage, then these need to be considered.
Yuan Chengdao didn't ask any more questions after hearing the words, and nodded, "The loan is about to be negotiated, it's not a big problem to raise part of the funds first, and fill them in later.
If there is an urgent need, we can complete the collection within three days. "
"That's best, so be it.
This time, I went to the capital to find a few investment banks to talk to, and when everything was settled, the Huang family, who killed them all at once, was caught off guard and didn't give outsiders a chance to intervene!
Also, the bond repurchase needs to be accelerated.
You call Mr. Chen, the shares of Weibo can be exchanged if you can, if you can't, then trade in cash!
All in all, the end of 2008, the beginning of 2009, I am going to put a super cannon!
At that time, let Zhang Jindong and his group have a bad year, that's what I want! "
Yuan Chengdao and Sun Tao looked helpless, you are really wicked.
Come to think of it, it seems pretty cool.
The two didn't say any more, and went down to prepare separately.
Entering Gome this time is not Li Dong's business alone, including accepting the online mall and offline personnel.
Li Dong doesn't care about these things, they have to take care of them.
Li Dong originally planned to visit Yu Province, but now he can only postpone it, and try his best to come back before the end of the month.
Things are getting more and more.
...
at the same time.
Just when Li Dong was preparing for the promotion of mobile payment and the acquisition of Gome.
Dongping.
In a small supermarket called Yuanqing Supermarket.
While doing the calculations, Li Qing said, "Go buy some better clothes this afternoon, and go to Pingchuan tomorrow morning."
Standing opposite Li Qing was a young man in his twenties, who was watching Li Qing settle accounts with his head down.
Hearing this, he was slightly taken aback, and the man said, "Go to Pingchuan?"
"Um."
"Take a wedding photo?" the man asked suspiciously.
Li Qing raised his head, glanced at him, and said, "What wedding photo, I haven't written the horoscope yet..."
The man became anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Qingqing, what did you say, didn't we all agree?
And I have also met my aunt, and my aunt is very satisfied with me.
Qingqing, am I doing something wrong?
You said, let me change my career.
If you don't want to go to Pingchuan, we can go anywhere, at home and abroad, I will go all out, go wherever you want, travel around the world and get married, anyway, as long as you don't scold me for extravagance in the future. "
Li Qing held his chin, shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm dissatisfied, you're just fine.
I'll have to ask other people's opinions though..."
"Others? Qingqing, my mother agrees, you agree, my parents agree, and I agree, who else do I need to ask?" The man looked helpless.
Li Qing's complexion was a bit complicated, he was slightly stunned, and said after a while: "Don't ask so many questions, anyway, you just go with me.
If he disagrees, or thinks that your mud can't support the wall, I don't want you.
His vision has always been very accurate. "
The man looked innocent, and said helplessly: "Who are you talking about? This is you marrying me, why did someone else pop up.
If he didn't agree, you dumped me. I'm too wronged. "
Li Qing ignored him, Li Qing had complicated feelings towards Li Dong.
When we were young, we were actually on good terms. Every time we went back to our hometown, Li Dong and Li Qing played well.
Even if Li Nanming didn't deal with Li Dong, he didn't deal with him, but there were very few disputes.
As for when the two sides did not confront each other at all, that was after Li Chenghui became prosperous.
This person, once he has money, is easy to change.
The brothers in the past, but because of the gap between the rich and the poor, they have completely distanced themselves.
This is also related to Li Dong being strong since he was a child. Li Nanming has a little money and likes to tease him, and he often bullies Li Dong. As a result, Li Dong is not easy to mess with, and he often beats Li Nanming violently.
After a few times, the relationship between the two parties gradually faded.
Until later, when Li Chenghui passed away and his family was in decline, Li Dong completely rose up and soared into the sky. Even Li Qing's supermarket was opened under Li Dong's light.
At this time, the psychology of both parties changed.
In fact, Li Qing is still very proud of having such a richest cousin. In another time, she would like to publicize it every day.
It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, no matter what, it's a great joy for the cousin to become the richest man.
But now, Li Qing never tells anyone about Li Dong outside.
Except for a few people, almost no one knew that the owner of this small supermarket with the same name as Yuan Fang really had something to do with Li Dong.
Sometimes it is difficult for Li Qing to tell whether he should be grateful to Li Dong or blame him.
In short, the mood is extremely complicated.
Now, I am getting married.
The last one, because of Li Dong, is still in jail.
This time, although Li Qing was quite satisfied, she also knew that Li Dong was more reliable than people.
The second uncle called back and asked Li Dong to check.
Li Qing was both excited and a little apprehensive, and his mood was even more complicated.
But no matter what, Li Qing still hoped that Li Dong would take a look. It didn't matter if she was a woman. If the man in front of him was attracted by Li Dong, he might have a different future.
As a woman, I don't have high demands on myself, but I always hope that my man will not be trapped in this small county, and can see a wider world.
It's a pity that the bastard in front of me doesn't understand anything, and doesn't know anything.
Seeing that the man was still chattering, Li Qing said impatiently: "Go if you are told, if you don't push me down, don't come to me in the future!"
As soon as the words came out, the man immediately surrendered and said: "Go, isn't it just to meet people, no problem, I am so good, why are you still afraid of meeting people?")!!
