Chapter 1445: Web Weaving

Jiangbei.

plain.

Li Dong thought of Zhou Haidong, and it was only for a split second. At this moment, he didn't know that Zhou Haidong was ready to die for his confidant.

In fact, in Li Dong's opinion, he can't be called a confidant.

Although Li Dong is very busy nowadays, Li Dong also finds time to read books when he is busy.

What he reads most is not management books, but history books.

It is said that reading history makes people wise, and taking history as a mirror, one can know the ups and downs.

A company with hundreds of thousands of employees is actually a small dynasty.

At this time, reading history books can sometimes make people more rewarding.

Scholars die for their confidants. Throughout the ages, the inferiors have always died for the superiors. In Li Dong's view, this is just a slogan chanted by the superiors in order to win people's hearts.

In Li Dong's view, anyone who involves interests is not a confidant.

It is said that he has the kindness to know Zhou Haidong, this Li Dong reluctantly admits, even though the original intention was not like this at the beginning.

But after he developed, he did not forget these people who walked with him.

As for confidants, does Li Dong have any confidants?

A reborn person, even your parents, will always have some estrangement from you.

It's not that your parents want to create a barrier with you, but that you are unwilling and will not let go of the last psychological barrier.

Sometimes, you may be thinking, are the parents in this life really the parents in the previous life?

Although Li Dong seldom thinks about this kind of problem, it doesn't mean that he never thought about it.

...

Li Dong doesn't know anything about Zhou Haidong.

What happened last time, just like what Lao San and Zhou Haidong said, no matter what the reason was, whether Li Dong was really confused or pretended to be confused, in fact he didn't really want to cause trouble.

After the last security adjustment, Li Dong strengthened his security forces, took frequent actions, and expanded his influence. In order to let Du Anmin take over, Li Dong even quit the capital...

Is this series of actions really for early retirement?

A large number of projects have been launched in a centralized manner, and the entire group is exhausted. Is it just to bombard others?

Tossing with Forbes magazine, really for the sake of gaining fame in the international market?

Is it really for the so-called sharing to win over one family after another?

neither!

Perhaps, there are reasons for these, but they are not mainstream.

Five years have passed, and the sixth year has not yet begun. Li Dong has changed so much suddenly, so he naturally has his own deep-seated thoughts.

Zhou Haidong's betrayal was nothing to Li Dong.

The infiltration of security, in fact, Li Dong was not really intimidated.

But there were some things that made Li Dong vigilant and drumming.

Maybe others didn't care, but Li Dong paid attention and paid attention.

Zheng Long's boss came forward in person!

Du Anmin's current guard, Li Dong wanted, but Lao Du didn't give it to him. Instead, he arranged for two old guards who had already entered the system to be leaders.

These two things, which are insignificant in the eyes of others, are even ignored in the eyes of Tan Yong, but they make Li Dong very vigilant.

In the eyes of others, the key lies in security penetration and Zhou Haidong's betrayal.

But in Li Dong's view, the latter two things are nothing!

After all, Zhou Haidong was only the head of the Ministry of Supervision. Without Zhou Haidong, someone else would always take his place.

The only thing that made Li Dong a little concerned and angry was that this was the old man who had followed him for several years.

As for the rest, it's not as serious as others imagined.

What a reborn person cares most about is not the loss of money, nor the betrayal of his subordinates, nor anything else, but his biggest secret, the prophet!

In fact, Li Dong has been avoiding these all the time, trying not to remind people of this aspect.

As incredible as this is, most people would never think of it as a possibility.

However, there are always people in this world who like to associate.

In particular, Li Dong's rise was too fast, and he didn't care about some things in the early days.

At the beginning, a school was built in Sichuan and Shu,

Although there was a reason, Li Dong's request was too fast, and he hurried to catch up with the time, and it happened to be stuck at that point, and no one thought about it at the time.

But if you really think about it, what a coincidence!

As soon as the construction was completed and the semester was not yet over, the students were forced to move in from a distance. Is it really just for publicity?

Li Dongtian is not afraid, he will donate to build schools in Sichuan and Sichuan just because the boss has not yet spoken, but just offended the other party's little guy by setting off firearms?

When Carrefour encountered resistance, Li Dong seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and immediately began to follow suit and boycott.

During the heavy snowfall in 2008, Li Dong took advantage of the heavy snowfall to rectify the logistics system and almost defeated Taobao.

During the financial crisis, Li Dong's vision was astonishingly vicious, and he made tens of billions in the stock market. Do you really think that no one knows?

Time after time of advance judgment, time after time of success, time after time of maximizing benefits...

Once is enough, twice is luck, three times is forward-looking, four times five times...

As the number of times increased, Li Dong gained the greatest benefit each time.

With him reaching the top of the wealth list, being focused, researched, and analyzed in detail, every case of Li Dong shocked everyone.

There have been many successful people since ancient times, and many of them are even more legendary than Li Dong.

But under the nose, a character like Li Dong appeared, how could people not pay attention to it and not be curious.

Li Dong's success is really just because of his good luck and strong ability to control the overall situation?

Or is there something else different about Li Dong?

This difference does not necessarily have to be guessed to be rebirth. I am afraid that no one will guess this point for the time being. Even if this thought flashes across, it probably passes by in a flash and will not be taken seriously.

But it is suspected that there are other people or some organization standing behind Li Dong, this possibility is still there.

If you want to seize every opportunity accurately like Li Dong, one person's strength is limited, and you need an elite team of elites to make overall analysis and judgment to make this possible.

However, Yuanfang does not seem to have this ability at present.

The people who want to dig out this secret may not be one or two, maybe not all have malicious intentions, maybe even for the good of Li Dong.

Unfortunately, Li Dong doesn't need it.

His grandmother once mumbled a few words, after that, Li Dong stayed away from his grandmother.

Even if he is rich now and cannot be richer anymore, even though Cao Fang actually misses his mother very much, Li Dong never mentioned the matter of taking his grandmother to Pingchuan.

Li Dong actually wanted to know more, but he subconsciously rejected it.

If someone wants to dig out this secret, no matter benevolent or malicious, or even just out of curiosity, Li Dong will feel extremely hostile.

If Li Dong knew that the purpose of pulling Zhou Haidong and the others into the water last time was for this, Li Dong might not just prevent problems before they happen.

Of course, he doesn't know all of this for the time being, so Li Dong still focuses on weaving nets at the moment.

Weaving an impenetrable net and wrapping himself in it is Li Dong's choice.

...

Li Dong's web weaving operation continues.

The cooperation with Tianhong Fund has begun to formally enter the process.

For small and medium-sized retail enterprises, the work of merging into the remote system is also working overtime.

The Wanjia.com platform integration has officially begun to attract third-party merchants and promotion, and it is also in full swing.

Weibo's C-round financing plan has been announced. On March 7, Yuanfang released the news that the Weibo financing plan was launched.

From the 7th, Yuanfang began to receive quotations and inspections from investment institutions.

Formal financing will probably be completed around May.

The evacuation of the capital market did not stop when Du Anmin came to power.

March 8, Women's Day.

On this day, Yuanfang Retail Group signed a contract with the last retail company and sold the last batch of Beijing stores.

In the Beijing area, there are hundreds of Yuanfang department stores.

Except for Yuanfang City, which is still under construction, as well as Gome's home appliance chain store, Yuanfang Department Store, all of them were officially evacuated on March 8.

Faraway Building.

Chen Lang, who had just signed the contract, was not as happy as he was with his partner just now.

In the office, Chen Lang sighed softly: "All the stores in the capital area have been sold, and all the employees have been properly arranged.

Some went to work in Gome, some were assigned to Beijing Yuanfang Science and Technology Branch, and some chose to leave.

Of course, most of them stayed in the original store and continued to work. In fact, the several companies that took over the business hoped to take over all of them, complete the integration work as soon as possible, and officially enter the business period immediately.

Therefore, the problem of employees is not a big problem.

The biggest problem lies in our own retail layout.

Although the capital city is not as economical as the Shanghai stock market, its status is different.

No matter how important the Shanghai stock market is, it cannot represent China. Only the capital city can represent China.

Evacuating from the capital, a blank area appeared in the core of our north.

There are big loopholes in the entire retail industry.

In the northern market, our strength is not too strong, this time the capital retreats, we actually lost more than just the market in the capital..."

Li Dong said in a deep voice: "Don't mention these words, I naturally have my own considerations.

This time the store was sold, and even the channels in the capital area were also transferred along with it. Our loss is not small. How much money has been withdrawn in total? "

"4.732 billion."

"Let the funds of the few of them be in place, this time I sell such a big profit, I don't have time to delay with them.

When does the contract agree to settle the final payment? "

Chen Lang immediately said: "This time we have stricter requirements on funds, and we all stipulate that the delivery and settlement should be completed before May 1st.

Because it is not an enterprise, the financial pressure is not too great.

Several companies also agreed with the plan.

Therefore, before May 1st, all funds can be returned. "

"How much is the installment?"

"More than 2.2 billion..."

While Chen Lang was talking, Li Dong said, "For Yuanfang Retail, it's okay to spend 3 billion, right?"

Chen Lang frowned slightly, and said after a long while, "You mean the early redemption of bonds?"

"Yes, early redemption, 3 billion bonds, now exist in name only, it doesn't make much sense, instead it accounts for part of our debt.

Redeem the bond and we reissue a new bond.

In the name of Yuanfang Holding Group, ten billion bonds were issued.

After the preparatory work is completed, it will be officially launched, at least after May.

Just when the bonds were listed, our Yu'e Bao should also be launched.

Maybe even if Yu'e Bao's funds are not used, with Yuanfang's current reputation, the tens of billions of bonds can still be digested by the market.

Therefore, the early redemption of 3 billion bonds has not had much impact on us, but has once again proved our strength.

Not only are we not short of money for development, but we also have too much money to spend, so we can redeem it in advance! "

Chen Lang frowned slightly, and reminded: "Redeeming in advance is our breach of contract, and we need to pay part of the liquidated damages."

"Don't worry about it, add it up, how much is the liquidated damages and interest?"

Chen Lang calculated for a while, and finally said: "The bond principal of 3 billion has been two years now, and the interest plus liquidated damages should total about 3.3 billion.

in addition……"

Chen Lang glanced at Li Dong, and said helplessly: "Besides, Mr. Yuan told me before that you want to return the 3 billion from the Jiangbei business community and the 1.6 billion from Mr. Shen.

These debts are all debts of distant retailers.

If all are paid off, the total expenditure will be 7.9 billion. "

The money from the Jiangbei business community and Shen Qian's money were all spent on the merger and acquisition of Gome, so naturally it must be counted on the retail side.

This debt alone is nearly 8 billion.

In addition, I still owe Lao Huang 10 billion. At the beginning, I bought back Lao Huang's shares for 18 billion yuan. Li Dong only paid 8 billion after the construction bank loan of 10 billion.

The rest was agreed to be settled within two years, so when Gome was acquired, Yuanfang Retail's liabilities increased significantly.

There is also China Merchants Bank, which also borrowed 5 billion.

In addition, Yuanfang used more than 20 billion yuan in goods payments, some loans before, and debts owed by the merger and acquisition of Carrefour and other companies. This is the reason why Yuanfang Retail's total debt amounted to as high as 60 billion yuan!

Otherwise, in the past few years, Yuanfang Retail's debt ratio was actually very low.

In the past few years, with the rapid increase in scale, although Yuanfang Retail has made a lot of profits, it still owes more and more.

The debt of 60 billion is as high as all the debts of other sub-groups, even more than that of Dongyu Real Estate.

When Chen Lang said this, Li Dong thought for a moment and said: "The debt that should be repaid still needs to be repaid. This time, the total store payment is nearly 5 billion, and the cash flow left by Gome before, it should be no problem to take out 8 billion, right? "

The previous acquisition of Gome did not mean that Gome lost a penny on its books.

The capital injections of Li Dong and Lao Huang, as well as the funds for the issuance of new shares, are all money.

The later privatization of Gome did not spend all the money, so Gome still has a lot of cash left on its books.

As soon as Chen Lang heard him talk about using the money, he immediately objected: "Mr. Li, everyone is expanding their scale now. You also said before that after taking down Gome, they will start to enter the rural market.

Now that the policy of sending home appliances to the countryside is about to be rolled out across the country, the layout of the rural market is imminent.

At this time, Gome’s funds were emptied just to repay some undue debts. I don’t think it is necessary at all.

Mr. Li, Yuanfang was created by you yourself.

Is it necessary to draw your own blood at this time? "

He knew that Li Dong urged the group to repay the debt this time, and part of the debt was his own money, and Shen Qian's money was actually his own money.

But from Chen Lang's point of view, it's really not suitable at the moment.

If there is no expansion plan on the retail side and there is too much cash to use up, then the money should be paid back.

Now, however, this is not the case!

The one-time expenditure of up to 8 billion in cash is beyond the reach of Yuanfang Retail.

Li Dong smiled and said: "What's the hurry, I didn't say that I won't support the development of the retail group if the money is gone.

Pay back the 8 billion first. This is the debt of the retail group. It is impossible for me to lend to the retail group for free without charging interest, right?

This is not my own money, of course I have to figure it out.

You know, Jiangbei's business community and Shen Qian's money has no interest.

It doesn't count as interest, it counts as my favor from Li Dong.

There's no need to use my favor to make money for others, understand?

Pay off the debt first. When the money is needed, Yuanfang Retail is not enough to support it. I can use Yuanfang Holdings to inject capital, dilute their shares, or force them to inject capital. This is the right way.

Mr. Chen, you are also the former boss of China Resources, don't you understand that public and private are clearly distinguished?

I, Li Dong, will not lose any of the money I should give them.

If you shouldn't make money, then you have to explain it clearly.

Otherwise, if you spend money hard and hard, but others still don't recognize it, is it necessary? "

Chen Lang also reacted at this time, and quickly said: "That's true, I just got used to the previous operation mode and almost forgot."

Yuanfang Retail had only Sun Tao's shares before, and Sun Tao didn't care about these, so the accounts have always been chaotic.

Now that a partner has been introduced, it is natural to make a clear distinction.

Thinking of this, Chen Lang nodded and said, "If you really want to make it up, it's still possible to pay off the 8 billion when the other final payment arrives in May.

But after the debt is paid off, the company really has no money.

Mr. Li, when the time comes, don't say that the group has no money, just fool us out with our 8 billion yuan, if there is no income, then it's over..."

Li Dong glared at him, can the old man speak?

What do you mean by cheating out?

Do you not understand the principle of debt repayment?

Too lazy to talk to him, Li Dong said directly: "Then pay off this debt first, out of the 8 billion, the expenditure will only be less than 6.5 billion, and the remaining funds will go to the holding group.

For Tencent, another 3 billion funds will arrive soon.

Even if the bonds are not counted, after another three months, the group's book profit will be at least 5 billion.

And Yuanfang Retail's own profit exceeds 1 billion per month, which is enough to maintain your current development.

When a large amount of money is really needed, the group will inject capital.

Now that the northern market has entered a period of stagnation, we will enter the southern market on a large scale!

Coastal areas are our key targets.

Prepare to issue 10 billion bonds, plus the group surplus and your own profits, in June, the total funds will exceed 20 billion.

Part of it is used to support the construction of Yuanfang City and logistics, and I will invest the rest in Yuanfang Retail.

This part of the funds will exceed 10 billion. This year, our goal is the southern coastal market.

To further expand our scale in the south and completely defeat some giants in the south, this is our biggest goal this year! "

Hearing Li Dong say that in the later stage, more than 10 billion funds will be supported to enter distant retail, Chen Lang's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

At this time, it doesn't matter if you pay back 8 billion. It's a debt, so you should pay it off.

Another injection of 10 billion is not a debt, it is considered a holding group. As for whether Li Dong dilutes other people's shares or other people inject capital, it is a good thing.

If Li Dong injected capital alone, the retail group would expand by tens of billions.

If other people want not to be diluted, they have to inject capital, which is also money, and they have to expand the scale.

However, the debt of Yuanfang Retail has been reduced, which is of great help to the stability of the retail group.

At this time, Chen Lang finally believed that the retail group was still the foundation of Yuanfang.
