Chapter 1665 Dismount
November 10th.
Due to time constraints, after Li Dong left the capital, he patrolled along the way for two days. On the afternoon of the 10th, he finally arrived at the end of the trip - Bincheng.
In Bincheng, in addition to the Dashang Group, there is also a powerful enterprise—Wanda!
At the end of 2009, Wanda's reputation at this moment was not as great as that of later generations.
But even so, Wanda has developed rapidly in the past two years, with land enclosures across the country and Wanda Plazas being put into operation one after another.
Today, Wanda has also entered the top ten ranks of the real estate industry from the previous top ten, ranking seventh.
From this point of view, although Bincheng is located in the northeast, its basic strength is not weak.
A retail enterprise that has entered the top five ranks in the country, and a real estate enterprise that has entered the top ten ranks in the country can all be counted as private enterprises.
In two not-so-weak fields, private enterprises have both entered the top ten, which is not even achieved by many remote provinces.
At least, Jiangbei couldn't do this before Yuanfang rose and Longhua expanded.
...
in the car.
Li Dong leaned on the seat and said with a faint smile: "Wanda is not weak, even though its reputation is not too great now, and its sales ranking is even after the top ten, far inferior to companies like Longhua.
But Wanda is now mainly engaged in commercial real estate, and the sales ratio is not high. This is the reason for the low sales.
However, the opponent has a lot of land in various parts of the country, and Wanda Plaza has gradually become famous, and its strength is still very strong.
Sometimes when you look at a company, you can’t just look at the various rankings. The top 500 statistics are all about sales. This point is sometimes of reference value, and sometimes it cannot be taken seriously. "
Yuan Xue nodded, Li Dong brought her by his side these days, not just for the sake of personal love between men and women.
Yuan Xue, who is about to take charge of Li Dong's private investment company, had no experience in the business world before, and her time at L'Oreal was not considered experience.
It's just a newcomer, it's okay to deal with some daily chores, and it's not that simple to take charge of a company.
But these days,
By Li Dong's side, Yuan Xue has seen a lot.
She couldn't learn the way of boosting morale in the capital before, and it was useless if she learned it.
However, during inspections along the way, how to receive subordinates, how to communicate with local government and businessmen, and some of the most basic things, Yuan Xue was still aware of them.
As for managing subordinates, Li Dong didn't teach her, but Yuan Xue also saw it.
Li Dong is extremely strict and forceful when dealing with the local first and second leaders, but Li Dong has a completely different attitude towards middle and low-level management and grassroots employees.
Yuan Xue also saw this change of attitude and kept it in her heart.
Of course, being strong and strict is not just blindly. To sum it up, it is still slack.
Now, Li Dong specifically mentioned Wanda, Yuan Xue couldn't help saying: "I know Wanda, there is also Wanda Plaza in Shanghai.
But the reputation is not too great. According to you, the strength of the other party is not weaker than that of companies like Longhua? "
Li Dong said with a smile: "It depends on what aspect, the strength of an enterprise is multi-layered.
Longhua Real Estate is now well-known and established earlier.
But in the early years, Longhua mainly focused on the development of residential real estate, and did not make much achievements in commercial real estate, and the foundation was not strong enough.
This is not as good as Wanda.
However, after Longhua's listing, it has become famous. In addition, Xu Shengzhe is bold, young and energetic. If there are no problems in the follow-up, the development will not be too slow.
Of course, the real estate industry, which only expands in the real estate field, is actually more limited than the retail industry and is subject to more constraints.
Among all enterprises, the most vulnerable to impact and policy regulation is actually the real estate industry.
Of course, real estate and IT are the two industries that want to make a fortune in the short term.
In fact, there are industries such as energy and finance, but this has little to do with private enterprises.
Therefore, if you invest, if you want to get a greater rate of return, the IT industry ranks first.
The second is the real estate field and emerging fields.
In the new field, everyone knows that it is the easiest to mine the first pot of gold, but it is also risky.
Real estate is actually similar, also short-term.
In terms of IT, it seems that it has not yet reached its limit. Especially with the rise of the mobile Internet, IT businesses related to mobile will be favored in the future, and the possibility of obtaining large returns is also greater.
We currently hold a 20% stake in Longhua and a 2% stake in Longfor.
After these two companies go public, there is not much hope that they will break out to a higher point.
If the conditions are right, you can sell them. Of course, if you hold them, compared to other real estate companies, the prospects of these two companies are not bad.
Especially for Longhua, there are still prospects, but Xu Shengzhe is a big gambler, either winning big or losing big.
In the end how to choose, you can look at it, don't worry now. "
Yuan Xue nodded again. In the past few days, she not only learned how to invest and how to manage, but also read the information of investment companies.
She now knows all the valuable things held by the company.
After thinking about it, Yuan Xue asked, "What about Dongxing?"
"Dongxing..."
Li Dong pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, I don't want Dongxing's shares.
But if Xiaorui wants to give it, I don't want it to be inappropriate.
Dongxing's shares should be used as a store of value. Unless Dongxing changes ownership, there is no need to consider whether to buy or sell. "
Yuan Xue couldn't help but glanced at him, 15% of Dongxing's shares!
This is no small change!
One must give, don't be inappropriate, from this point alone, it can be seen that the personal relationship between Li Dong and Hu Xiaorui is not so good.
Yuan Xue felt a little apprehensive, but she didn't say anything.
Li Dong also saw it, and sighed softly: "I can't help it, he is too handsome, there are shining spots everywhere, and I can't stop it."
"Pfft!"
Yuan Xue suddenly laughed, and scolded, "You're really thick-skinned."
After all, she is not Shen Qian, and her taste is just an instinctive reaction.
Now that she can stay by Li Dong's side all the time, in fact, she feels that she should be satisfied. Being interrupted by Li Dong, this feeling has weakened a lot.
Li Dong didn't continue talking about this, he looked at the time and said: "The stock market is open.
We are also approaching the city of Bincheng.
Now that everyone is here, it would be insincere not to give Da Shang a surprise. "
After saying this, Li Dong chuckled lightly, but Yuan Xue couldn't help but shuddered, and couldn't help but ask, "Is this a sneer?"
Li Dong couldn't help laughing, and said helplessly: "It's normal to laugh, why is it a sneer?"
"But I always feel that you are smiling maliciously."
"That's your illusion. Maybe you don't have enough clothes. You'll get off the car later to add some clothes."
"..."
With the dialogue between the two, Li Dong's motorcade officially entered Bincheng.
...
Ben Thanh.
Dashang Group Headquarters.
"The wolf is coming!"
This is the subconscious thought in everyone's mind.
Just like back then, there were gossip rumors that when Su Guo marched into Jiangbei, Li Dong and the others were shouting "Wolf is coming".
This is the fear of the weak against the strong!
Dashang is not weak. As the largest retail group in the northern region, Dashang is the overlord in this field.
But at this moment, facing the far side that entered the north to develop, just like the weak and weak Yuan Fang faced Suguo back then, it subconsciously made people feel scared.
In the past few days, although the whole world is talking about Double Eleven, in fact, Li Dong is not really only preparing for Double Eleven.
The two sides, in the secondary market, continue to fight.
Dashang is repurchasing share capital and contacting shareholders.
And Yuanfang and Dongxing are not idle, they are both taking action.
Just yesterday, Yuanfang and Dongxing held a total of 42 million shares.
Occupying 14% of Dashang shares, it is close to the next announcement line.
As for Dashang, as the stock price has risen, it is a little timid, and the share capital repurchased these days is not too much.
In addition to the shares held by the senior management and Dashang Group, Dashang Group can only exercise the equity of 63 million shares, which is 21%.
In the group, several executives held another 7 million shares, some of which were purchased privately, and some were held by resigned executives.
These people have not signed the concerted action agreement.
On this point, Niu Gang couldn't force them to agree.
After all, the executive purchased part with private capital, and obtained the equity before, and now it has completely become a part held by the individual. He has no right to let them do that.
14% vs. 21%, it seems that there is still a big gap, but Niu Gang is not completely relieved.
A few days ago, he went to Benchengguo to discuss support, and the attitude there was ambiguous, which made Niu Gang feel a little uneasy.
In the past, Bincheng Guoshang had always supported Dashang.
This time, the other party's attitude was ambiguous, which cast a shadow over Niu Gang's heart.
As for Maoye, although he has made many phone calls and sent several text messages, including asking Du Juan from Pengrun to help make peace.
But Maoye did not give a clear reply.
As far as Maoye is concerned, since it is impossible to gain control over the large-scale retail retail holdings, it is natural to make money.
In terms of the means of making money, whether to make money faster with Li Dong, or with a big businessman, obviously the other party also has a standard in mind.
Moreover, selling Li Dong's favor is more cost-effective than selling Niu Gang's favor.
Niu Gang is almost certain that once Dashang really encounters a crisis, Maoye is likely to be the first to make trouble.
Maoye holds nearly 5% of the shares, plus the 14% of Yuanfang, if the two parties really reach a cooperation, it will be 19%.
This ratio is close to the 21% shares currently held by Dashang.
Today, the number of shareholders of Dashang has decreased dramatically.
From the previous 9% of Dashang’s first shareholder, to now, Dashang controls 21%. Niu just woke up with a smile.
More than 20% of the equity exercise rights are in his hands, which is almost a peace of mind.
But now, Niu Gang really hasn't slept well for several days.
As soon as Li Dong's motorcade entered Bincheng, Niu Gang received the news and immediately held a management meeting.
When all the people arrived, Niu Gang said slowly: "Here are the people!
I came today, obviously, Double Eleven will not go away.
Next, he might have to stay here for a while, including fulfilling his promise here.
He stayed in Bincheng for such a long time, not necessarily because of Double Eleven.
Everyone, do you have anything to say?
After so many days, we have only repurchased a total of 7 million shares in the secondary market, but the other party has increased its holdings to 42 million shares.
Regarding this point, do you have anything to say? "
As soon as this was said, someone thought about it and said, "Dr. Niu, the repurchase of these 7 million shares has already cost us 500 million.
The group is not rich in funds now, and the stock price is rising quickly. In addition, Yuanfang and Dongxing are competing, which has increased the stock price.
At this time, if we continue to make large purchases, we will not be able to explain to other shareholders..."
Niu Gang snorted softly, and said with indifference in his eyes: "They won't care if they lose the big retailer, will they?"
Although Niu Gang holds great power in Dashang, he is not the only major shareholder after all, and the spokesperson of a shareholder said bluntly: "This time, Yuanfang has no intention of acquiring a wholly-owned subsidiary.
In our opinion, the prospect of big business retailing entering distant places and developing in an integrated way may be even greater.
As far as shareholders are concerned, as long as the change of the management team does not affect the prospects and future of the company, it is the same who is in charge of Dashang Retail.
Niu Dong, I didn't mean to target you when I said this.
But in my opinion, even if Dashang is really taken over by Yuanfang, Niu Dong can actually choose to cooperate.
In the past, the major shareholders of Dashang were not our management team, but it is still in operation.
If Niu Dong chooses to cooperate with Yuanfang to complete the reorganization, and you ask to stay in office, I think Mr. Li will not refuse.
After all, you have led the rise of Dashang Retail, which is obvious to all..."
"enough!"
Niu Gang immediately scolded!
That's what these shareholders think!
Does it matter who manages the big business?
Yuanfang took down Dashang, even if all the management was replaced, it had little to do with them.
As a shareholder who only enjoys shareholder rights and interests, as long as you can bring them returns, it doesn't matter who is in charge.
Yuanfang is one of the world's top 500, China's No. 1 retail group, and Li Dong is a well-known entrepreneur. If he is in charge, he may have more money and future.
That being the case, is it worth spending huge sums of money to buy back shares now?
Not worth it!
Niu Gang only knew about the repurchase, but he didn't think about it. He didn't have many personal shares. Where did the money for the repurchase come from? It wasn't everyone's money.
Now that Yuanfang is fighting fiercely, causing Yuanfang to spend so much money, can Yuanfang be polite to shareholders like them in the later stage?
Therefore, during this period of time, the repurchase plan has progressed very slowly.
Many people are procrastinating and waiting.
Niu Gang saw this, but he was helpless.
This is not one person, but the consensus of many, many people.
Including his own team!
Now some people in Dashang’s team are wondering if going to a distant place will have a better prospect?
They don't need to prove too much. The big business can occupy the northern market. From the performance of hundreds of millions to the current performance of hundreds of billions, it is actually a clear proof.
Yuanfang really wants to take over, and the possibility of replacing the management is not great.
Of course, it is certain to send people from far away to take over some important positions.
However, if Niu Gang is willing to compromise, he is also willing to stay in the post. With his achievements in the retailing of big merchants over the years, Li Dong will not refuse him to stay in the post unless he hates him personally.
But is this what Niu Gang wants?
After finally becoming a professional manager, after the country retired and the people entered the country, he became the master of the house for a while.
How long has it been?
Would he be willing to let him be a professional manager again?
In the past, before making the decision, he was willing.
Now, like other entrepreneurs, when you have tasted this taste and experienced the feeling of turning over and being the master, you will be beaten back to your original shape. This sense of gap is not something everyone can bear.
Niu Gang couldn't help being annoyed when he saw that everyone in the meeting room was lazy, and some people didn't even have a nervous atmosphere.
He regarded this placard raising as a crisis, but some people always thought it was an opportunity!
Just like now, if it is Wumart or other industry giants who raise their placards instead of Yuanfang, the people of Dashang will not be reconciled.
As the overlord of the retail industry, can it be dominated by the weak like Wumart?
Could it be occupied by outsiders?
Obviously impossible!
But now, the ones raising their placards are industry leaders, and they are not leading the way, because they have taken care of their face.
Niu Gang took a deep breath, unable to reprimand him, thought for a while and said, "Continue to repurchase in the next few days!
In any case, by the end of this week, more than 7 million shares must be repurchased!
Only when we hold 70 million shares can we barely resist the attack from afar.
Also, about cooperating with Ali..."
Someone couldn't help saying: "Niu Dong, how can you cooperate at this time?
We can't protect ourselves!
In addition, it is snowing heavily outside, our inventory is insufficient, and it is a problem to meet the needs of our own stores. Our distribution system is not well developed. We can't let us close our doors to support Ali, right? "
"Yes, Niu Dong.
We had no objection before switching to Ali, but now, isn't this taking the interests of big businessmen and exchanging Ali's interests?
What's more, I think Ali has no hope of competing with Yuanfang this time.
We did a simple market research and asked 1,000 people, and 900 of them said they would participate in online shopping. As a result, about 90% of the 900 people chose to go shopping in distant places.
Niu Dong, this is no longer a matter of shopping.
It is not a question of platform selection, nor is it a question of distribution and warehousing.
Mr. Li used his personal reputation and Yuanfang's strong strength to make the public trust and trust Yuanfang.
Now, Mr. Li himself is a gold-lettered signboard.
Unless something went wrong when he participated in the delivery process this time, otherwise, Ali would have no chance to stand up. "
This man just said that, but Niu Gang was annoyed and said: "It's freezing cold, who can guarantee that he will go on smoothly!"
As soon as these words came out, many people looked at him strangely.
Li Dong is very likely to participate in the distribution in Bincheng. Lao Niu's foundation in Bincheng is not weak, so he has other ideas?
If this is the case, it is very likely to completely anger the people in the distance.
Niu Gang just said that just now, when he saw that they were all looking at him, he immediately said angrily with a dark face: "What are you thinking about!"
He just said this out of anger, Li Dong is a world celebrity, a well-known entrepreneur, the richest man in the world...
Not to mention that there are a large number of security teams around, but there is no one. If something happened in Bincheng, I am afraid that he will be the first thing everyone thinks of.
He is stupid to do such a thing!
Niu just got angry and didn't bother to continue talking about it with them.
Just when I was about to continue talking about the deployment, someone knocked on the door in a hurry and entered, and hurriedly said: "Chairman, just now Dongxing and Yuanfang jointly announced that their shareholding has reached 15%, 45 million shares!
in addition……"
"What else!"
Niu Gang scolded. As for the 45 million shares, in his opinion, it will happen sooner or later, which is not so unexpected.
The person who entered the door was a little nervous, stumbled and said: "In addition, the cooperative logistics providers in the Northwest, including some areas in the Northeast, and... There are also several large outsourced logistics companies, saying that they will increase prices and re-sign the contract...
Otherwise, the contract may be terminated early! "
"asshole!"
Niu Gang immediately cursed, Dashang has its own logistics system, but it is not enough!
In the past few years, Dashang has developed extremely fast, and the logistics side can't keep up.
At present, their logistics distribution is still mainly outsourced.
Once these people choose to break the contract, it is very likely that the big business will be paralyzed.
Can a chain retail enterprise without logistics survive?
Just after he finished cursing, the person who entered the door continued: "Not only us, Ali also encountered troubles, three links and one express delivery, including some small and medium-sized express delivery companies, are now asking Dibao to increase the express delivery price.
Even if there is a subsidy, it is not enough.
In the past few days, it has been snowing in some areas in the south, and now that the cost is rising, various companies have joined forces to ask for an increase of 2 yuan in the price of the first weight, and an increase of 2 yuan per kilogram for the additional weight..."
"Stealing money!"
Niu Gang cursed again, are these guys taking advantage of the fire?
Such a high rate of increase is not money grabbing!
Probably they all saw the opportunity and wanted to add insult to injury.
If the price is raised, the courier company will make money, and this is a trend. If Dibao compromises, other small and medium-sized platforms will also have to compromise, and the price increase is logical.
In the eyes of several companies, it doesn't matter much if they don't compromise on digging treasures.
Uncompromising, no delivery, and Baobao’s own system is not enough. This time, it is so oppressed by Yuanfang, and it is very likely that it will be suppressed to the first-class platform in the end.
Once the current flow of people and sales volume are gone, there will not be too many businesses received in Treasure in the future.
In this way, it does not necessarily matter much if the business of digging treasures is lost.
Moreover, the rising cost is not a lie.
In the past few years, the labor cost has increased a lot, but the price of the express delivery is still at the level of a few years ago. If the price does not increase at this time, then when will it be.
Even without this crisis, they are ready to unite to raise prices.
Now I can only say that it's a coincidence, and by the way, I will threaten you to dig out the treasure.
For a while, several bad news came into my ears.
Niu Gang had a severe headache, gritted his teeth and said, "What a Li Dong!
As soon as the person arrives, give me a blow, will you? "
Li Dong's motorcade had just entered Bincheng, and these news broke out together. If it was a coincidence, even Niu Gang would not believe it!
He was angry, but the others were silent.
This is just the beginning.
Next, there may be more changes.
Now, big businessmen are really unable to support Dibao.
If it was an excuse before, now the logistics side is rebelling, and the big merchants themselves are in trouble. At this time, self-protection is a problem.
In addition, thinking that Li Dong himself is here, maybe watching them from somewhere, many people feel a little chilly.
This is a real ruthless character, referring to business.
If you really want to be forced to a dead end before compromising, it won't be worth it.
Taking advantage of the current strength of the big merchants, compromise may be the biggest gain.
Thinking of this, many people looked at each other, and when their eyes collided, they all felt a little strange.
Niu Gang... there are not too many shares!
