Chapter 1687 Shopping Malls Are Like Battlefields

On November 28, Sun Tao got married.

As the vice president of Yuanfang Group, the founding veteran, and the shareholder of Yuanfang Retail...

Sun Tao got married, even if he didn't plan to make a fuss, there were a lot of guests.

In addition, Li Dong specially gave the distant executives a day off, and there were several tables from the distant side.

In addition, some entrepreneurs in Jiangbei, even if they don't give face to Sun Tao, they want to give face to Yuan Yuan, and they also came to congratulate him.

Although the wedding scene was not as shocking as when Li Dong got married, for the locals in Jiangbei, it was also a gathering of big names and shining stars.

...

Although Li Dong didn't want to overwhelm the guests, Li Dong's arrival was destined to attract people's attention.

What's more, there is Xu Shengzhe beside him, and Hu Xiaorui is even more eye-catching.

Today, in the Huaxia business world, there are three young big entrepreneurs in Jiangbei. Who doesn't say that Jiangbei is outstanding.

When the three of them appeared together, it was naturally more eye-catching.

On the stage, Sun Tao and Liu Hui's wedding ceremony is in progress.

In the audience, Xu Shengzhe kept staring at Li Dong. When Li Dong became impatient, Xu Shengzhe smiled and said, "Really don't think about it at all?"

Li Dong said unhappily: "You do what you want, I haven't settled with you for Wu Shengnan's matter, don't get cheap and act like a good boy."

Holding the wine glass, Xu Shengzhe said with a light smile, "I'm afraid you wish this was the case.

You have no idea about becoming a big Dongyu, then Dongyu is actually a burden, isn't it great that I help you solve this trouble? "

"That's just your idea."

Li Dong didn't bother to talk to him, and Xu Shengzhe didn't care, and continued: "The day after tomorrow, which is Monday, Longhua is going to raise a card for Vanke."

Li Dong turned his head and glanced at him, and said after a long while, "You're trying to sell everything you want?"

"Don't fight and don't reconcile."

"Have you considered the consequences of failure?"

Li Dong asked,

The value of Vanke is very high. It costs 7 billion for Anbang to acquire a 5% stake in the placard line.

On Longhua's side, there are only a few more.

Once the card is raised, it cannot be traded within half a year, which also means that at least 7 billion funds from Longhua's side have been held back by Vanke.

Of course, the money may not all belong to Longhua.

In fact, Longhua does not have so much cash flow, and it is more likely to adopt a short-term debt model for investment.

Short-term debt and long-term investment are very risky.

Longhua didn't have enough time to prepare in advance, and even if funds were raised, the deadline would not be too long.

It's okay to win Vanke. With Vanke as a guarantee, it doesn't matter much when the debt is due.

But once Vanke cannot be won, it will be in big trouble.

Xu Shengzhe wants to seize the controlling stake in Vanke. At present, the minimum shareholding is more than 20%, which is close to 30 billion yuan.

30 billion is not necessarily enough!

Once the money is spent, if Vanke fails to win, Longhua wants to leave the game, it will not be an easy matter.

It is impossible to sell such a large amount of shares in a short period of time, and it is also difficult to find someone to take over.

Once there is no one to take over the order, it is impossible and not allowed for so many shares to hit the secondary market in large quantities.

At that time, there will be no shares and no right to speak of Vanke. If there is a slight change, Longhua may be dragged to death by this short-term debt.

Originally, Longhua's debt ratio was not low, but Li Dong had to remind him if he dared to take such a risk at this time.

Xu Shengzhe's face remained unchanged, and he didn't look at Li Dong, he looked directly at the stage in front of him, and said with a smile on his face: "How many times in life can you fight, the shopping mall is a casino, it depends on whether you dare to gamble!

It's best if you succeed, but if you fail, I don't think there will be too many losses. "

Li Dong snorted softly and said, "Maybe there are not many floating losses on the books, but once someone makes trouble at this time, or even reversely acquires Longhua, then you will know how troublesome it is."

Xu Shengzhe's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "The only one who can really do this is you.

If you stab me in the back, I'm in big trouble.

But as long as you don't stab me, the risk is actually not too great. "

Before Li Dong could make a sound, Hu Xiaorui beside him smiled and said: "Xu Da treacherous minister, don't use aggressive methods, it's useless.

Li Dong and I have discussed it. When you make a move, we will attack Long Hua.

At that time, we may not only harvest a Longhua, but even Vanke can be taken by us together.

Coupled with Dongyu, in an instant, Yuanfang became the largest real estate group..."

Xu Shengzhe's face changed slightly, Li Dong was a little helpless, but he didn't make a sound.

Now Xu Shengzhe couldn't sit still, and said dryly: "Dongzi, Xiao Rui is joking, right?"

Once Longhua and Vanke start to compete, the funds of both parties will be held back.

At this time, Yuanfang shot behind the scenes, and Li Dongben already controlled 20% of Longhua's shares. It is not impossible to kick Xu Shengzhe out of the game.

Moreover, Vanke's major shareholder is Huarun. Li Dong and Huarun are now handing over Huachuang, and it is not impossible to hand over Vanke's shares by the way.

If this is the case, it is highly possible for Li Dong to take them all down in one fell swoop while they are fighting.

And by that time, the two sides may be powerless to fight back.

Seeing that Xu Shengzhe was a little scared, Li Dong played with it: "This is actually not bad, what do you think?

After taking down Longhua and Vanke, it can be regarded as the completion of the joke at the beginning, asking you to work for me, which is pretty good.

How about, think about it? "

Xu Shengzhe said with a dry smile: "Don't, we are good friends, you are insulting me at this time, how will the outside world spread it?

Dongzi, you wouldn't do this kind of thing, would you? "

"hehe!"

"Don't haha, isn't it just poaching Wu Shengnan, so there's no need to worry about it?

Katsuo is on your side, and you don't need others, so coming to me can be regarded as making the best use of others, so there's nothing wrong with that.

..."

Xu Shengzhe talked for a while, and when he finished, Li Dong smiled and said: "Okay, I don't think so.

What's more, it's not that simple, and Yuan Fang doesn't have that much ambition.

If I swallow both of you in one fell swoop, where will I get the money. "

Although Yuanfang has money, it is the money of Yuanfang Retail, unless it participates in the name of Yuanfang Retail, but what if it wins the two major real estate companies?

For the real estate business, undermining the strategic goal of the retail group is not in Li Dong's interest.

Hearing what Li Dong said, Xu Shengzhe felt a lot more relaxed.

Hu Xiaorui on the side snickered for a while, seeing Xu Shengzhe staring at him, Hu Xiaorui snorted and said, "Look at me, unless you give me the keys to your garage, I'll pick a few cars, otherwise Li Dong won't get involved, I'll Make trouble for you too!

Dongxing has wanted a batch of commercial plazas for a long time, and Longhua is quite suitable for Dongxing to build its own theater chain..."

Xu Shengzhe rolled his eyes, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said, "Xiaorui, isn't it too discriminatory for you?

Li Dong bought a big business, you just help out without even thinking about it.

I want to do something, it's fine if you don't help, and make trouble for me, are we still friends? "

"Not counting!" Hu Xiaorui answered simply.

Xu Shengzhe was almost choked to death, and he said helplessly after a long while: "Take it later, don't go too far!"

Although he knew that even if he didn't give it, Hu Xiaorui wouldn't really make trouble, but this girl has been staring at his garage. If he doesn't do bloodletting now, he will have to do bloodletting sooner or later, and there will only be more bloodletting.

When Xu Shengzhe and Li Dong were chatting, they also looked at the table next to them from time to time.

At that table, both Shen Qian and Bai Yueqin were there.

Both of them brought their children, and some family members of Jiangbei celebrities. These people gathered at a table, and they were not with Li Dong and the others.

After watching for a while, then looking at Li Dong and Hu Xiaorui next to him, Xu Shengzhe suddenly sighed softly: "Li Dong, sometimes I really envy you.

I have always felt that a woman like Shen Qian should not be provoked.

If this kind of woman is married back, she has to be enshrined, and if she plays a bit of a young lady's temper, it will be even more troublesome.

But now it seems that I was wrong.

It is your good fortune that you marry Shen Qian. "

Hu Xiaorui glared at him angrily, Xu Shengzhe ignored him, but Li Dong smiled and said, "Are you a little regretful that you didn't marry Lanxin back then?"

Xu Shengzhe shook his head and did not speak, Li Dong did not continue to tease him, and changed the subject with a smile.

Several people chatted for a while, and the wedding ceremony on the stage came to an end.

...

When Sun Tao brought Liu Hui over to toast, Sun Tao was full of emotion.

In 2004, he took hundreds of thousands of debts and mortgaged Pingchuan's real estate. It can be said that he had almost nothing at that time.

The superior is still young, and there is no room for advancement in his career.

At that time, he was confused.

When the headhunting company found him and recommended Yuanfang to him, Sun Tao's first thought was to make a joke!

Let him be the manager of a supermarket that has not yet been established?

But when he saw Yuanfang Supermarket located in Dongping, Sun Tao, who was in a period of confusion, finally agreed to meet Yuanfang's boss.

At the beginning, Sun Tao thought more about going back to his hometown, seeing his parents, and staying dormant for a while.

Although the salary Yuanfang gave was not as high as his salary at Carrefour at that time, it was not too low. At least compared to the county seat, this salary was definitely high.

He encountered setbacks in Pingchuan, his parents were getting older, and there was only one store, which made it easy for Sun Tao to do other things.

So, there was that meeting.

As a result, when he saw that Li Dong was extremely young, Sun Tao suddenly had another idea.

Li Dong's youth, at first, made him mistakenly think that this is some rich second generation who is messing around with improper money.

Sun Tao's first thought was that maybe he could borrow chickens to lay eggs. This kind of young people don't know farts, so they are easy to fool.

After accumulating in a distant place for a period of time, you can start your new career journey.

But soon, Sun Tao knew that he was wrong. Li Dong, who was only 19 years old at the time, was not a rich man. wealth.

And even though Li Dong is young, his conversation is extremely mature.

With little thought, a 10% share dividend was given.

Sun Tao's family background is not rich, he can understand the feeling after getting rich.

Poor people, when they first have money, it is normal to hold back money. When they are short of money and get used to it, they are reluctant to spend it, let alone share it with others.

Li Dong is a poor student who has just had some money and doesn't know what to do in the future. In a split second, let him give away one-tenth of his wealth to others.

Replaced by Sun Tao, Sun Tao thought he would definitely not be able to do it at that age.

Although Sun Tao felt that he was worth the price, for young people who had just entered society, they might not necessarily recognize it.

Li Dong was extremely calm, as if he didn't care at all.

It would be okay for a rich kid, but Li Dong's family background is average, and he can make such a decision, which has to be impressive.

Later, when he entered the distant place, until he reached the present step by step, Sun Tao felt that he was dreaming.

Because of the first choice, everything changed.

Earth-shaking changes!

In just six years, the young people in front of them have developed a store in the distance to thousands of stores.

From a start-up capital of several million, it has become a trillion-dollar group today.

And he, Sun Tao, has also become a well-known entrepreneur in China, a founder of the world's top 500 companies, and a group director from the loser who was burdened with debts and had to choose to escape.

Moreover, seeing that Yuanfang Retail is about to go public, his personal wealth may soon exceed the 10 billion mark, which he never imagined.

Scenes of the past flashed in Sun Tao's mind, without too many words, Sun Tao raised his glass and smiled at Li Dong: "Thank you!"

A thank you, sincerely, from the heart.

Without Li Dong, Sun Tao wouldn't be where he is today, nor would he be where he is today.

Without Li Dong, these guests who are here now are the ones he looks up to.

Now, some "old friends" who used to be arrogant and arrogant, who are not groveling and smiling when they see themselves again!

Li Dong smiled lightly when he heard the words: "You don't need to thank me, you deserve everything, and I should be the one to say thank you!"

Sun Tao didn't speak, but smiled and clinked glasses with Li Dong.

...

After the wedding, Sun Tao and Liu Hui sent Li Dong's family to the car.

Looking at Sun Tao outside the car, Shen Qian suddenly said, "Why didn't you think about making Brother Sun your spokesperson?"

Li Dong smiled lightly: "There are many reasons, do you want to hear the truth?"

"Truth!" Shen Qian replied without thinking.

In Shen Qian's view, Sun Tao is the entrepreneurial veteran of the group, and he has always obeyed Li Dong's advice, and Sun Tao's gratitude to Li Dong is not fake.

On this point, Shen Qian thought that she could not be wrong.

Moreover, Sun Tao has a higher status in the group and can better represent Li Dong.

Li Dong smiled and waved to Sun Tao who was outside the car. After Tan Yong started the car, the smile on Li Dong's face gradually disappeared.

After a while, Li Dongcai said softly: "I told Sun Ge a long time ago that I want to start and finish with him well, so that we won't regret each other.

I didn't choose him because I didn't want to leave regrets in the future.

In fact, all men are ambitious. Who doesn't have any ambitions at this level?

He has ambitions, I actually know, he just kept pressing.

He is grateful and grateful to me, which is true, but it does not conflict with ambition.

Sometimes, for the sake of ambition and to achieve their own goals, men dare to do more things than women, and they are more courageous.

And men are more rational than women, not more emotional. "

Shen Qian frowned slightly and said, "I don't understand very well."

Li Dong smiled, and said after a while: "From the first day of Yuanfang's business, Brother Sun has been holding a high position in the company.

He is stronger than Yuan Chengdao in terms of connections, resources, and control over the group.

When I was in the company, Brother Sun wanted to suppress me. Even when I asked him to be the president, he recommended Yuan Chengdao to me instead.

Do you know why?

Do you think Yuan Chengdao is really stronger than Brother Sun? "

Shen Qian frowned and said, "Why?"

"Because Brother Sun knows that when I am in the company, the president and vice president are not much different. If he is the president, I have to be careful.

He is not the president, this is the choice of a wise man.

With me in the company, I have the final say on everything. Such a president works hard, but it may not be effective.

Take a step back, it's better this way.

But when I am about to leave, it will be completely different. At this time, I can fight.

In fact, a few years ago, if he fought for it, I didn't care. At that time, he didn't give up the position of president to Yuan Chengdao, but served as the president of the group. This time, the position of chairman of the board of directors is his.

But he didn't!

Of course, even so, it doesn't matter, he knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, which is also a good thing.

But the mistake was that he shouldn't have incited the employees to make troubles in order to achieve his goal. At that time, if he was a little careless, he would end up in a catastrophic end! "

"What!"

Shen Qian froze for a moment, her face full of shock.

Li Dong smiled and said, "Is it strange? It's actually not strange.

At that time, Yuanfang’s plan to raise 300 billion yuan did not come out, and finally raised 10 billion yuan, which was originally prepared for expansion in the south.

I asked him to go to the south and stayed there for several months. He was sitting in the Shanghai stock market to consolidate resources. I heard that he worked overtime for several days and nights without sleep.

The result is good, I just got 10 billion, and I used it to support Longhua.

Without the 10 billion, according to the situation at the time, the retail group hardly had any chance to expand southward.

The preparations in the early stage were useless, and he was going to do a big job in the south, and he would be angry, disappointed, and resentful.

He instigated the staff, the purpose is actually very simple, to force me to give in.

At that time, the most unstable internally was Yuanfang Retail, and the internal instability of the group naturally shifted the contradictions outward.

How to transfer?

Continue to expand, this is the best way!

Like the ancient feudal empires, when internal conflicts cannot be reconciled, the best choice is actually to fight abroad to suppress internal conflicts and fight a war is the best choice.

If I want to get through the crisis smoothly, in fact, the best way is to continue the plan to go south. If there is a big movement in the south, other movements will be suppressed.

I'm afraid he thought so too.

Brother Sun doesn't necessarily want the group to be in trouble, but it's true that he wants to make a contribution to himself, and he wants me to fully see his ability.

In fact, it's not a bad thing. Trouble that erupts in advance is better than suppressing it all the time.

But there are some things, once you do it, you have to bear the consequences.

Although it did not cause any trouble to the group, this is not what I want to see.

He has his own goals, so, of course, I will not choose him to replace me in charge of the distant place. "

Shen Qian was still a little shocked, and couldn't help but said: "How do you know that Brother Sun did it? Didn't you check it at the time..."

Li Dong said with a smile: "Don't be suspicious of employing people, and don't use suspicious people, these are all deceitful words.

If this is really the case, the bones that I have been swallowed by others are gone.

There are some things that should be guarded against, I naturally have my channels.

After all, it is not a trivial matter, and it is still necessary to find out.

Of course, there is no need to delve into it now, the past is over, his purpose is still to expand the group, and it is not a day or two that he is more radical than me.

Before you came far away, I wasn't a radical, he was.

That being the case, it doesn't surprise me to make such a move. "

"Then...after that..." Shen Qian didn't know what to say.

Li Dong didn't take it too seriously, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if it's radical, I've thought about it, Yuan Chengdao will be the chairman of the board of directors, and Brother Sun will be the president.

It's better to let someone suppress him, so as not to be too radical, and it will be bad if something happens. "

Shen Qian came back to her senses at this time, and she couldn't understand: "He... dares to do such a thing, and you still let him be the president?"

Li Dong raised his eyebrows and said: "He has an interest relationship with Yuanfang, the biggest interest relationship!

His original intention was to hope that Yuanfang would be stronger!

As long as he is not allowed to become the chairman of the board of directors and control the power of the entire group, the existence of Brother Sun will be the magic needle for the sea in the distance.

No one wants problems in the distance more than him!

The reason why he was not allowed to become the chairman of the group was mainly because he was worried that no one would be able to suppress him. If he was too radical, he might cause a lot of trouble. "

Shen Qian said with a wry smile: "The shopping mall is like a battlefield. I used to think it was a bit exaggerated, but now it seems that it is more complicated."

Li Dong said with a smile: "It's actually okay, the situation in the distance is relatively simple."

Li Dong said again: "Just pretend you haven't heard what I said today, and just know it in your heart."

Shen Qian nodded, and then she couldn't help but look at Li Dong. This guy is sometimes frighteningly immature, and sometimes frighteningly mature.

At least from Shen Qian's point of view, she felt that the biggest possibility for Li Dong at this time was to kick Sun Tao out.

But Li Dong actually chose to ignore it, which was somewhat beyond Shen Qian's expectations.
