the next day.

December 21.

Du Juan did not go to Gome in the morning, and no one has seen Du Juan since the morning.

Of course, the insider knew where she had gone.

At this moment, Lao Huang has not been formally imprisoned, but is being detained in a detention center. Du Juan still has the right to visit him.

Under such circumstances, Du Juan couldn't stop Li Dong's offensive, and the only thing she could do was to seek help from her imprisoned husband.

No one knows what Lao Huang said.

Only a few people knew that Du Juan's eyes were red after the meeting, and she obviously cried more than once.

This northern woman who was strong in front of outsiders really couldn't hold on at this moment.

Fighting against Yongle, fighting with capital institutions, fighting with the Huang family, fighting with the outside, fighting with the inside...

For more than a month when Lao Huang went in, she spent almost all of it in struggle.

In the early stage, she was still able to persevere, persuade herself, and remain strong.

However, when Li Dong, a business legend who is regarded as a backer and a life-saving straw, also came to bully her, a weak woman, Du Juan couldn't hold on anymore.

Du Juan, who cried a lot, seemed to be completely awake, and once again hid her weakness.

Back at the company, Du Juan summoned a few foreign veterans.

Under everyone's worried expressions, Du Juan said quietly for a moment: "The war has begun!"

These are not her words, but the original words of her husband in the detention center.

Lao Huang knew that this day would come sooner or later. From the moment Li Dong was introduced, Lao Huang knew that Li Dong was too ambitious, and sooner or later this war would break out.

But Lao Huang never expected that it would come so fast and so urgently.

From Li Dong's entrance to now, five days!

Five years, even three years, Huang Guangyu will not be surprised or surprised.

But in just five days, Li Dong revealed his ambition and put it into action. The moment Huang Guangyu first heard the news, he was inexplicably horrified!

Li Dong is not a hungry wolf waiting for an opportunity, but a fully awakened tiger!

The moment he entered the arena, his purpose was to forcibly devour the prey in front of him.

You thought he would wait, but the facts tell you that Li Dong didn't even give him time to wait, and he was ready to pounce before he entered the arena.

"The war has begun!"

In just five words, the faces of several senior executives present changed.

Du Juan was quiet for a while, then continued: "Li Dong's purpose is obvious, to completely control Gome!

This is absolutely intolerable to me, including the entire country!

However, now that we are weak and Li Dong is ready to go, it is difficult for us to resist his attack.

If I'm not mistaken, Fukang is just the beginning, our other shareholders, Li Dong must be in contact, including..."

Du Juan paused, looked at everyone and said deeply: "Including everyone, maybe I knew it earlier than I did!"

Among the veterans of the Huang family, some also hold small shares.

When Du Juan said this, several people looked a little uncomfortable, but Du Juan did not go further, and said in a heavy tone: "This is a war that concerns the survival of the United States, and we cannot tolerate our negligence!

For Fukang, it may be difficult to change the decision.

Even if I refuse, it won't be of much use. In the end, Li Dong will only win.

Apart from other reasons, the key is that we do not have sufficient funds, and others do not believe us at all, nor do they trust our strength.

The basis for competing with Li Dong lies in the issue of funds and the trust of major institutions.

Beverly here, we lost the core of the competition.

Among the remaining major institutions, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and CRMC are the main three, and these three hold 22% of Gome's shares.

As long as we can get the support of the three of them,

Even if Li Dong wins all the shareholders, everything is nothing to worry about.

So, as a matter of urgency, our goal is to convince these institutions to support us.

In addition, we need to raise a fund to prepare to compete with Li Dong in the primary market, including the secondary market!

Perhaps what we see is just the tip of the iceberg.

Among the shareholders, we don't know how many people have reached an agreement with Li Dong, and how many people are ready to support Li Dong.

But I know, not just Beverly!

Everyone..."

As Du Juan spoke, her eyes turned red, she got up and looked at the crowd and said, "The future of Gome, the future of Lao Huang and I are all in your hands!

Twenty years of ups and downs, we have walked together.

Now, because of my decision, there may be more disasters in Gome than Lao Huang's fall.

I am a sinner of the United States, but at this moment, I beg you all to help me for the sake of helping each other through the storms of the past 20 years.

When the matter is over, I will take the blame and resign, and I will never intervene in Gome affairs again! "

The hearts of all the people present were moved, and many people showed their faces.

Everyone has a heart of compassion, not to mention we have worked together through thick and thin for decades.

Director Zhou, the only senior member of the board of directors, said in a deep voice: "You don't need to say that, Li Dong's ambition is well known, and we will never give him a chance to succeed!

Once Li Dong enters Gome, we will not end well!

Who doesn't know, Li Dong is arbitrary and suspicious, once he enters Gome, he will never trust us old people.

At that time, our only choice is to withdraw from Gome.

After so many years in Gome, let us go now, what can we do?

Therefore, resisting Li Dong is not only the business of Mr. Du and Mr. Huang, but also our own business! "

These words can be regarded as beating the other elders, preventing these people from falling into trouble, and taking refuge in Li Dong.

Others heard the words and said one after another: "We all understand the truth of Mr. Zhou's words. When Wang Yue was pushed into the board of directors, we knew that our hard days were coming.

In the past two days, Wang Yue was pushing the resolution of the board of directors while investigating the internal affairs.

We have been questioned in the past few days, and we can see what she means.

Now Li Dong is only a minority shareholder, so he dares to go to war. Once he really takes over, we know what will happen.

Mr. Du and Mr. Zhou don't need to say anything. For so many years, we have regarded Gome as our home.

Now that outsiders want to break in, we will not admit it!

It was not Mr. Du's fault to introduce Li Dong. At that time, we had no choice.

The fault is that Li Dong's heart is too dark and cruel, and the other shareholders are also at both ends of the scale, and Cheng Xiao's Yongle Department is also useless. He just knew that he was fighting with us and gave Li Dong a chance!

Mr. Du, if you have any orders, just say so, we will try our best to do it! "

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, Du Juan was relieved when she saw this, and said seriously: "Then I, Du Juan, will not be hypocritical at this time, now, when Gome is in crisis, we need us to turn the tide together!

As I said earlier, it is likely that Li Dong has not only reached an agreement with the Beverly family.

Even the Morgan Stanley family may have contacted Li Dong.

Therefore, our most important task now is to win the recognition and support of these capital institutions.

Mr. Zhou, you have dealt with them for many years, so this task is entrusted to you.

You immediately communicate with several companies, even if you can't support us, you still have to hold them back and don't give them a chance to switch to Li Dong.

This is the first thing!

Second, on the side of Xiangjiang, we still have some tradable shares in the secondary market, including those convertible bonds. I heard people say that someone is buying them a few days ago.

Mr. Wang, I will leave this matter to you. You have worked there, so go and find out the situation.

Lobby the major institutions first, and if it is a last resort, we can take the initiative to repurchase, and I will handle the funds.

In the past few days, I will go to Chaoshan to try to raise enough available funds.

Third, Cheng Xiao's attitude.

The Yongle Department controls nearly 10% of the shares and is also an important part of Gome.

The negotiation and lobbying with Cheng Xiao is left to Mr. Wu. You have cooperated with Cheng Xiao for many years, and you have full authority to represent Lao Huang and me. The conditions can be relaxed a little. As long as we get through the difficulties, everything has a chance to recover!

Fourth, the right to use Gome's trademark and 360 other unlisted stores are now managed by Pengrun.

Using this as a bargaining chip, it mainly held back Li Dong's footsteps.

Li Dong has great ambitions. What he wants is a complete Gome. When necessary, we can choose to use this to negotiate with him and delay time.

Fifth, strive to gain the support and sympathy of public opinion.

As soon as Lao Huang entered, Li Dong bullied our orphans and widowed mothers. We must occupy the commanding heights of public opinion, condemn him morally, and let him be a stalker.

sixth……"

Du Juan talked about her plans in an orderly manner, and finally said solemnly: "Please everyone!"

Everyone nodded, Director Zhou waited for her to finish speaking and said: "There are two other things, first, how to deal with Beverly?

Do you delay, or agree?

Second, we are all gone. Whoever will be in charge of Gome? At this moment, Mr. Du, you leave, which will be very detrimental to us.

I think Chaoshan can be handed over to others..."

Du Juan shook her head and said, "No, I won't go there in person, neither can anyone else, and their money didn't come from a strong wind, so how could they agree casually.

As for who will be in charge, I have made up my mind and transferred Xiuhong back from the Shanghai stock market.

Now that the United States is in danger, we can relax the suppression on the Yongle department and let Xiuhong return to the headquarters to resist Wang Yue's attack. "

The Xiuhong in Du Juan's mouth is Lao Huang's eldest sister, and also a titan of female middle school.

After the acquisition of Yongle, Lao Huang was worried about Yongle's base camp, so he sent his most trusted elder sister, Huang Xiuhong, to sit in the Shanghai stock market. In the past few years, the Yongle department has been able to transition smoothly, and Huang Xiuhong has a lot to do with it.

In the past, the biggest enemy of Gome was the Yongle Department, which was internal.

But at this time, the Yongle department was a side issue. Du Juan had to have a powerful person in charge to leave the headquarters.

And Huang Xiuhong became the best choice.

The others nodded one after another, and they still approved of Huang Xiuhong's return to sit in charge.

Huang Xiuhong's ability is not weaker than theirs, and she is still Lao Huang's own sister, and her prestige is very high on the Gome side, enough to suppress the turmoil in the hearts of the people.

Du Juan paused and said: "As for Beverly, promise them!

On the one hand, the two parties adopt a cash transaction. I want to reduce the bargaining chips in Li Dong's hands and let him spend part of the cash.

The problem of the capital chain in the distance has always been a big problem.

Several times, Li Dong almost fell on it. This time Fukang used a cash transaction of 1.5 billion, and it was difficult for Li Dong to spend so much money at once.

On the other hand, reduce Li Dong's vigilance.

Let him feel that we are nothing more than that, and it is easy to win the sympathy of other people by creating established facts.

Otherwise, the only thing we can do is to forcibly repurchase and take it to court.

In this way, the hearts of other shareholders have been chilled. Even the sale of their own shares has been made things difficult by us, and everyone feels uneasy.

Moreover, it is easy to highlight our weakness.

We dare not even let go of the 8% equity transaction, so how afraid are we of Li Dong?

Even we are so afraid, how to appease people?

For Li Dong, we pay attention to it tactically and despise it strategically!

It must not make people think that we are afraid of Li Dong, otherwise, even if we are so weak, even if we are not swallowed by Li Dong this time, we will not be able to stop others. "

Everyone nodded again, and another vice president said: "President Du, I have another idea, we can contact Bailian, Suning, Walmart, Wumart... these retail companies to attack Li Dong together.

The internal and external attacks made him careless.

Li Dong's growth is something no one wants to see.

At present, they are also willing to cooperate with us, otherwise, we will be the first one, and they may be the next one!

We all understand the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and they will understand too.

Or, not only the retail industry, Li Dong is involved in many industries, and we can all unite. In short, if Li Dong grows bigger, we will all suffer! "

Du Juan's eyes moved when she heard the words, she nodded and said: "That's a good point, I asked Yan Hong to contact each family secretly!

At present, it is not suitable for Li Dong to discover our purpose. At the critical moment, we can give him a head-on blow! "

Huang Yanhong, Lao Huang's second sister, is also an executive of Gome.

Although the Huang family usually fights constantly, but at this time, Du Juan didn't care about it so much. She fought among herself, no matter how hard the fight was, the meat would be thrown into the pot.

But once Li Dong took over, the whole pot would be overturned.

After Du Juan's voice fell, the others stopped discussing and prepared to dispatch.

Just as Director Zhou was about to leave, Du Juan shouted: "Mr. Zhou, hold a board meeting this afternoon and agree to Fukang's matter first!

We admit defeat at the board meeting, let everyone see Li Dong's wolf ambition, let everyone know that Li Dong's big appetite scares them!

This is not just a matter of our Gome family, but a matter of the entire industry and the entire business world!

Now, we are in dire straits, everyone sits and watches the show, and the next one may be them.

Li Dong is a cancer in the industry! "

It is obvious that Du Juan hates it if she can say "cancer".

Director Zhou could feel this kind of resentment, and said with the same hatred: "Li Dongben is a cancer in the industry, but if we compromise so quickly, will it make people think that we are strong on the outside and on the inside?"

"No, all you see is Li Dong's strength, Li Dong's bullying, and Li Dong's overbearing.

As the victims, for the sake of the overall situation and for the rebirth of Gome, we swallowed our anger. Shareholders and employees will know who is suitable to control Gome! "

Director Zhou stopped talking, nodded and said: "Then I will inform them that the Board of Directors has been held consecutively for the past few days...")!!
