Chapter 1569: Xu Shengzhe Asks for Help
Shen Qian said she wanted to go back, but Li Dong didn't stop her.
In fact, the two had been outside for quite a few days.
When I rushed back to Pingchuan from other places, it was already late June.
As soon as Li Dong came back, someone came looking for him.
The first person to come to him was not someone from afar, but Xu Shengzhe.
...
East Park.
Xu Shengzhe didn't have the time to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the East Garden. Seeing Li Dong's face, Xu Shengzhe said with a serious face: "Li Dong, you have to help me this time!"
Li Dong had just entered the room at this time, and when he heard this, he was a little surprised and said, "What's wrong?"
Xu Shengzhe gritted his teeth and said, "Longhua's IPO plan has been sniped!"
"Since the beginning of this month, Longhua has frequently exposed some problems, and our expansion plan has also been hindered.
Bank loans are difficult, and land enclosures have been attacked again and again.
Even now, there are people on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange who are starting to obstruct it, and our IPO plan is likely to be rejected!
I know who did it! "
Xu Shengzhe said angrily: "In 2008, the real estate market encountered a crisis. In the cold winter, Longhua introduced a check-out policy, which suddenly pushed many companies to the forefront.
These people expressed their dissatisfaction with me at the Dongxing Charity Banquet last year.
Now that Longhua wants to become the number one real estate group, these people will not agree!
Once the IPO plan is blocked, some of the problems we have accumulated in the early stage will explode quickly.
Li Dong, you still have 20% of Longhua's shares, these people who sniped me are also sniping you..."
Li Dong frowned and said: "Last year I said that if you want to be independent, you must bear the consequences.
At that time, everyone was having a hard time, and Vanke's check-out incident had a great impact, and Vanke was reluctant to check out.
At this time, you are in Jiangbei, and in East China, you implement the check-out policy, and other companies are forced to a dead end, and you offend more people than me.
Now you want an IPO, and you want to hit the first place, of course others cannot agree. "
"I know, but now, I can't go back.
What's more, if Longhua hadn't taken the lead last year, I don't have the capital to hit the first place now, so it's meaningless to say these things.
Now is the time when Longhua is most dangerous and needs support the most.
Li Dong, I won't come to ask you for help unless it is absolutely necessary.
But the road to IPO this time cannot be stopped. It is not 2008. We can excuse the bad market conditions and stop the IPO plan. Now it is 2009 and the global economy is recovering.
All major real estate groups are preparing their IPO plans, and Longhua has even made a lot of big moves.
At this time, once the IPO is stopped, our losses will be too heavy! "
Xu Shengzhe was really in a hurry, not only that, his father was almost unable to hold on.
At this time, Xu Shengzhe, when his father was dying, the group's IPO was blocked, which was the biggest denial of him.
He wanted to prove himself to Xu Jianghua, but it turned out that Longhua not only failed to do better, but was attacked by others, and the IPO failed. Xu Shengzhe couldn't imagine such a blow.
Li Dong pondered for a moment and said, "How do you want me to help you?"
"Number one, I need financial support.
Didn't you say before that you can take part of our land and commercial housing by way of prepayment?
Right now, I need a large amount of funds to ensure sufficient funds on the group's books and to let all investors see confidence.
Second, I hope you will use some of your connections to help me solve the troubles of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Securities Regulatory Commission.
Don't worry, you can just be a middleman, I will solve it myself, and I won't drag you down.
Third, I hope you can help me appease the other investors. Now that Longhua has been attacked, these people are a little shaken.
At this time, once they waver, all the preparation work of the previous few days will be in vain.
And if they shake, it will also affect other people's senses.
Fourth, I hope that you will publicly support Longhua and make Longhua bigger,
There are only advantages and no disadvantages for Yuanfang. I can promise that in the future, Longhua's partner will only be Yuanfang!
Fifth, if Yuanfang City can be managed, it would be best..."
As soon as he said a few conditions, Li Dong frowned and said: "You really dare to say it!
These few things are getting bigger and bigger. Once I am completely on your side, what I need to face is all those companies that don't want you to grow bigger and don't want you to continue IPO.
I was already in trouble, so in order not to offend too many people in real estate, I don't do it myself now.
It's good for you, let me fully support you at this time, if you are fighting with the wind, then I don't mind pushing you, now you are going against the wind..."
Xu Shengzhe interrupted: "After the listing, I will keep your equity from being diluted, and keep it at 20%!"
"not enough!"
Xu Shengzhe gritted his teeth and said, "Then tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Everything, in the end, has to be attributed to the interests.
Without interest, Li Dong obviously wouldn't agree.
Li Dong is not purely for profit. In fact, for profit, it is not worthwhile to offend so many people at once.
But thinking of what he said to Wu Yajun last time, Li Dong thought in his heart, if he could prove Yuanfang's strength and the value of cooperating with Yuanfang at this time...
First help Longhua stand up and establish a reputation for Longhua. After that, it will be much less difficult for him to deal with these real estate companies.
The so-called offending people depends on when.
As long as it can bring them benefits, it doesn't matter if they are offended.
Li Dong thought for a while before saying: "I can help you, but there are a few prerequisites."
"you say!"
"Once Longhua overcomes this difficulty and succeeds in its IPO, it is likely to impact its position as the No. 1 real estate stock after listing.
At this time, Longhua became the industry leader.
I don't just want Longhua to support me, I need you to use all your power and influence to influence more real estate companies.
Even, I need Longhua to come forward and form an alliance similar to the Distant Retail Alliance.
And I don't care about other things of the alliance, my only request is simple, the cooperative retailers of the alliance can only be far away!
Including your high-end community, of course, a commercial plaza is a must!
If we can do this, we will have the premise of our cooperation..."
Xu Shengzhe said angrily: "Li Dong, are you overestimating me?
Even if Longhua achieves the No. 1 position, it will be difficult to keep pace with other companies.
And appointing the only exclusive partner, let alone how difficult it is, do you have such a big appetite?
There are so many cities in China, and there are countless shopping malls. If your family can't eat enough, why don't you give it to the second family?
Even if I did it, can you do it?
We are empty shopping malls, waiting for you to expand, you can not expand, who will bear the losses? "
Li Dong raised his eyebrows and said: "Of course I said this within the scope of my ability, don't forget, there are also cooperative companies in the distance.
My family can't eat it, so let our alliance eat it.
In short, when the market cannot be monopolized, I will first achieve the root monopoly.
Only in this way is it worthwhile to cooperate with Longhua, otherwise, everything you said is not attractive to me. "
"you……"
Xu Shengzhe took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Go ahead, I would like to hear how many conditions you have."
"Second, as you said before, I will continue to keep Longhua's shares and not increase capital."
"anything else?"
"Third, on the issue of advance payment, I can promise you.
But, after a while you have to pay me back..."
Xu Shengzhe frowned and said, "As a listed company, the procedures are very troublesome..."
"ABS financing! Yuanfang will launch some projects soon, and Longhua will return the money to me through the ABS platform.
If you have enough money, you can support me more.
Once Longhua goes public, the money will no longer be your personal money, it will not be easy to use, and it will be difficult to lend it to me privately.
But through the ABS platform, Longhua can justifiably return the money back to the distant place. "
Xu Shengzhe almost vomited blood, and said depressedly: "Then I went public, didn't I help you?
I am so short of money myself..."
"There is no way, you want me to support you, but you don't want to pay.
To be honest, you are almost becoming a public enemy of the industry now..."
"It's not that exaggerated. In fact, some companies support us, and they also hope that real estate stocks will create miracles.
Once Longhua's IPO is blocked, many real estate companies preparing for an IPO will lose confidence.
Therefore, we have not yet reached the point of being a public enemy of the industry, and there are not too many companies that are really targeting us. "
Li Dong had a look of contempt on his face, this guy was inconsistent in his speech, did he notice it?
When I first asked for help, I had the attitude that the whole world abandoned me, and only you, Li Dong, could help me.
Now that they talked about the conditions, they began to turn their backs on them. Why are there still many people supporting them, but they only targeted some people.
Of course, Li Dong is also used to all this.
After he finished speaking, Li Dong said: "As far as these conditions are concerned, if you can do it, then I will support you.
Can't do it, sorry, there's nothing I can do.
Big deal, when you can't get along any longer, I'll give you something to eat.
Business is business, nothing else. "
Xu Shengzhe said angrily: "The key is that your conditions are too high, not proportional to what you pay.
Just being a designated partner is not a small problem.
Of course, if you don't have a size limit, it's no problem for me to recruit a few small and medium-sized enterprises to cooperate with you.
The point is, you are more ambitious than me, and you probably think about more than just these few companies.
If I'm not wrong, you hope that through this, you can stop the expansion of Bailian and even make them shrink in size.
But you have to know, how many real estate groups cooperate with them?
Their large-scale comprehensive supermarkets range from hundreds to thousands to dozens.
There are hundreds of real estate groups involved.
You said, can I influence so many companies?
Three or five are fine, thirty or fifty, I don't have that much ability, let alone three or five hundred. "
Li Dong said lightly: "What if I entrust all of Yuanfang City to you?"
Xu Shengzhe frowned, uncertain: "Are you serious?"
He has said this many times, but Li Dong has always refused.
That's what he said just now, Li Dong said to help him, but he didn't take this into account.
But Xu Shengzhe still added: "I don't want the vacant land, after your Yuanfang City is managed, it has to be completed and put into operation within the expected time.
Even after the trusteeship, including your construction company, I actually think there is no need to stay, and the construction of the project can also be handed over to Longhua..."
In Yuanfang City, Li Dong won 10 pieces of land last year, all of which were large in size.
This year, Yuanfang plans to continue to increase its scale.
Li Dong even said that he won 20 pieces of land this year, and after waiting for about 10 years, there will be 30 distant cities put into operation.
After that, it was gradually expanded, and a total of more than 50 distant cities were built.
This is not a simple shopping mall, but an urban complex. The larger ones cost tens of billions of investment, and the smaller ones cost billions.
Once the 50 distant cities are put into operation, the total assets in this area will exceed 200 billion.
However, Yuanfang City, which has not been put into operation, is a piece of open land, which does not have much meaning. It is better for Longhua to enclose the land himself.
Li Dong didn't say he was sure, but Xu Shengzhe set the conditions.
At this time, Li Dong was also speechless: "Can you not be so realistic?"
"What you said, is in business, talk about business, don't make it clear now, what's the point of you giving me a few vacant lands for trusteeship?
What I need is actual influence, not name.
What's more, your attitude is unclear now, and the outside world doesn't know what your plan is. The real estate side is half dead. If you don't invest in the construction, then if I agree to your conditions now, wouldn't it be digging a hole for myself? "
"Then can you guarantee what I said before? As you said, three or five companies are not enough, thirty or fifty are not enough.
At least, the foundation of these retail enterprises must be dug up in East China. "
Xu Shengzhe hurriedly said: "Including the Shanghai stock market?"
"include!"
"Cough cough cough..."
Xu Shengzhe coughed dryly, what the hell, who do you really think I am?
How dare you think about breaking the foundation of several retail giants in the Shanghai stock market!
Bailian's headquarters is over there, which means that Longhua directly defeated Bailian by himself.
Even Li Dong can't do it now, so it's too easy for him to do it.
Not to mention including the Shanghai stock market, but excluding it, he can't do it either.
Xu Shengzhe was helpless at this time, he couldn't laugh or cry: "I can only say that I will do my best, really, even if I promise now, I can't do it.
Even if Longhua succeeds in attacking the first place, he may not have much leadership.
Colleagues are enemies, so it's good if everyone doesn't make trouble for me.
At most, some small and medium-sized real estate companies will choose to cooperate with us because of the face of our two companies.
For a large real estate company, you have to come forward to discuss it in person. The only thing I can do is to show you the results of our cooperation and take Longhua as an example.
Any more, and I really can't guarantee anything. "
Li Dong pondered and didn't speak for a while.
And Xu Shengzhe continued: "In addition, I have to say, compared to my IPO troubles, yours is the real big deal.
I ask a little from you, and you ask me, one is all I have, isn't it appropriate?
Not to mention, you also gave me a one-two-three, I really want to agree, it is more troublesome than my IPO failure.
Li Dong, let's exchange at the same price. At worst, I will make some concessions. If I really want to make too many concessions, then I would rather fail. Besides, if you don't help me, I can find someone else..."
Li Dong snorted and said, "Then you go find it."
In fact, Xu Shengzhe was right. Li Dong's conditions did exceed his expectations, and they were much more difficult than Xu Shengzhe's conditions.
Since Xu Shengzhe didn't agree, Li Dong said after a while: "Well, let's put the trusteeship of Yuanfang City aside for now, and try your best on your side.
I don't sign any agreement with you either, it's meaningless.
But you have to believe that if you follow the distance, you will end well. If you don't follow the distance, you will die sooner or later.
I'll arrange your business later.
Anyway, I’m not in too much of a hurry right now, there’s still a while…”
"The old man is dying soon." Xu Shengzhe muttered.
Li Dong snorted: "The old man can't do it, you just go home and do your filial piety, why bother with these things.
Is it a matter of time for an enterprise to become bigger and stronger?
I will try my best to speed up the progress, and I will help you through the difficulties first. "
"Then thank you..."
It was rare for Xu Shengzhe to be polite. At this moment, he suddenly thought of what Li Dong said before, and couldn't help but said, "What project are you going to launch on ABS? Financing? Are you short of money again?
Also, you really want to monopolize the Chinese retail market, this is no small matter..."
"You don't care about these, you do yours, and I do mine."
Li Dong said and added: "You don't need to sign an agreement for other things. The matter of the shares must be confirmed. My shares will not be diluted. Please explain this clearly in advance."
"No problem, the premise is that you help me with a smooth IPO."
"good!"
"..."
The two quickly reached an agreement. Xu Shengzhe had a lot of things to do and didn't stay for long, so he left the East Garden after talking.
On the way back, Xu Shengzhe couldn't help but look back.
Today's Li Dong didn't say much, but a few simple words revealed a lot of meaning.
The ABS financing and the cooperation with major shopping malls are the harbingers of big moves.
Does this guy really want to use these methods to directly defeat the domestic retail giants?
Thinking of this in his heart, Xu Shengzhe didn't even care about the blocking of the IPO.
Compared with Li Dong, Longhua's IPO does not seem to be a big deal.
The listing of Longhua will create a market value of hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars at most, which is Xu Shengzhe's best expectation.
But for Yuanfang, and for Li Dong, just revealing the meaning is to monopolize the retail market.
When it comes to industry monopoly, no matter in any industry, it is a big deal.
The outside world said that Li Dong was immersed in the gentleness, but Xu Shengzhe didn't see it at all. This guy was obviously prepared, otherwise he wouldn't have made a quick offer.
Perhaps, Li Dong is paralyzing no one this time.
Even Xu Shengzhe felt a little sympathetic when he thought of the companies Li Dong was targeting.
Encountering such an opponent, I think about killing myself all day long, and the strength is still huge, so there is pressure for anyone to change.
Fortunately, Li Dong doesn't pay much attention to the real estate market, or he doesn't want to get into big troubles in the real estate market. Apart from the Yuanfang City project, Dongyu Real Estate has almost no other plans.
In this way, there are fewer disputes with Longhua, otherwise, the two families in the same place will sooner or later have a chaotic situation.
