Chapter 1707: Denial

Jiangbei.

plain.

On New Year's Eve, although Li Dong had ups and downs, overall he was more satisfied than regretful.

This year's New Year's Eve and Spring Festival, Li Dong did not choose to go to the company for shifts.

This task was handed over to Yuan Chengdao and Sun Tao.

To receive, one must first give.

Naturally, they have to take over the tasks of executive shifts during the Spring Festival.

...

After New Year's Eve, the new year begins.

At the beginning of the new year, the listing of Yuanfang Retail has also entered the formal process.

Today's Yuanfang, just waiting for the internal subscription to be completed, will start the IPO immediately.

According to the requirements of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, Yuanfang will officially release the listing announcement on the public media after completing the internal subscription.

Not long after the beginning of the new year, Yuanfang also held the retail group's shareholders' meeting and the board of directors, formed a resolution, improved the shareholding restructuring, completed the prospectus, and began to formally apply for listing to the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

According to the results of negotiations between Yuanfang and major underwriters, Yuanfang Retail will issue 6 billion shares this time, with a tentative issuance range of RMB 16-20.

It plans to raise about 96 billion to 120 billion.

The public offering part is 30% of the issued share capital, which is the share of the issuance for retail investors, and more distribution by major institutions and underwriters.

According to the suggestions given by several underwriting agencies, it is still hoped that Yuanfang Retail will introduce some cornerstone investors before going public.

The so-called cornerstone investors refer to the introduction of some investors into shares before listing.

These investors will sign some agreements with the company, and there will be a long time limit for the sale of shares, mainly to stabilize the company.

However, Li Dong rejected this proposal, Yuanfang does not need a cornerstone investor.

The significance of the existence of cornerstone investors is to expand their reputation on the one hand, and to stabilize the company on the other hand.

And far away,

These are not required.

The reputation in the distance is big enough, especially in China.

As for stable companies, Yuanfang is different from other companies. According to Yuanfang's issuance of shares, even if it issues an additional 6 billion shares, Yuanfang Holdings will still hold 66% of the shares after listing.

As for Teng Xun, after the listing is diluted, it will also hold 3% of the shares.

Excluding management and employees, Yuanfang and Teng Xun still hold 69% of Yuanfang Retail.

With such a shareholding ratio, Yuanfang Holdings controls Yuanfang Retail, which is also extremely stable.

...

Listing is critical, but the following annual meeting is also critical.

The annual distant annual meeting is about to begin.

The annual meeting is over, the internal subscription officially begins, and when the subscription ends, it is convenient to formally report to the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to hold the annual meeting first.

This year's Yuanfang annual meeting is scheduled for February 21, the eighth day of the first lunar month.

This time is earlier than in previous years, mainly to complete the pre-listing shareholding restructuring as soon as possible.

The specific time was not arranged by Li Dong, and now Yuan Chengdao and his group are responsible for these matters.

Li Dong, who got the report, glanced at it and said nothing. The only thing he said was: "Fortunately, it's not February 22."

This group of executives in the distance has no idea about the date.

Last year it was set to be Valentine's Day, but later it will be changed to February 22nd. Anyway, in Li Dong's opinion, it is not a good day.

This year it is scheduled for February 21st, but fortunately it is not February 22nd, otherwise Li Dong would not know what to say.

Once the specific time of the annual meeting is determined, everything else will be easy to handle.

Regarding the annual meeting of Yuanfang, preparations began as early as the end of last year. The annual meeting of Yuanfang last year was the largest in history.

This year, the scale is not smaller than last year.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, employees and executives from far away from all over the country rushed to Pingchuan.

Today, the Yuanfang annual meeting is a grand event in Pingchuan.

In addition, at this time many people had not officially gone to work, and Hirakawa became lively again.

...

And at this moment, Qin Yuhan returned to Pingchuan with the vanguard army of Ordering.com.

After setting up the ordering team, Qin Yuhan and Hu Xiaorui met in a coffee shop.

The cafe is on the second floor.

Through the glass window, you can see the outside situation.

No one in Pingchuan is unfamiliar with Yuanfang's employee uniforms. At this time of year, Yuanfang's work clothes are all fiery red.

The work clothes in the distance are not static, and the colors of the clothes in spring, summer, autumn and winter are not the same.

But most of them are mainly fiery red, which symbolizes the prosperity in the distance.

Although there is no explicit requirement to attend the annual meeting, almost all employees will take the initiative to wear this uniform to participate at this time.

On the streets and alleys, groups of distant employees can be seen passing by from time to time.

These people are not necessarily local employees, and most of them are from remote areas who came to the headquarters to attend the annual meeting.

They haven't officially started work yet. Except for some employees who are on duty, others will not officially go to work until after the annual meeting is over.

Many remote employees participated with a mentality of pilgrimage to the headquarters.

Although the time for the annual meeting has not arrived, many employees have already come, some organized by the group and some spontaneously.

Looking at the groups of distant employees passing by on the street, Qin Yuhan stirred the spoon and said with emotion: "There are more and more employees from far away."

Hu Xiaorui on the opposite side said with a smile on her face: "It's only the beginning now, wait until the eighth day, it will be called a sea of ​​people.

This year's scale may be even bigger than last year, with close to 100,000 participants!

This is probably the largest gathering in Jiangbei's history, and even the largest among enterprises across the country. "

Qin Yuhan raised his eyebrows and said, "So many people?"

100,000 people doesn't sound like much. Some celebrities' concerts claim to have 100,000 people participating.

But the real situation is that for a concert that claims to have 100,000 people, it would be nice to have 10,000 people.

To really organize a gathering of 100,000 people, all kinds of preparatory work in the early stage can bankrupt a small business.

The 2008 Olympic Games was a grand event for the whole country and the world.

At that time, when the Bird's Nest was full, there were only a little over 90,000 people. This shows how rare it is to have a corporate annual meeting with 100,000 people.

Hu Xiaorui smiled and said: "There are so many people, for this annual meeting, Yuanfang directly contracted the newly completed Olympic Sports Center.

Adopting an indoor and outdoor open annual meeting mode, this is barely able to accommodate so many people to participate.

It has to be said that an annual meeting in the distance had a huge impact on Pingchuan.

According to the original plan, the Olympic Sports Center will not be completed until next year.

But since last year, Longhua and Yuanfang's construction team joined the construction, which accelerated the speed a lot.

Although it has not been completed as a whole, the main body has been completed.

Now the Jiangbei government can't wait for Yuanfang's annual meeting to change to another place every year. I heard that the Qingyang government found Yuanfang not long ago, hoping that Yuanfang's annual meeting can be held in Qingyang next year.

The Qingyang government provides all conveniences, the land is given away for free, the green light is given all the way, and a large-scale comprehensive venue is specially built for Yuanfang. The government subsidizes a lot, and even provides a large amount of interest-free loans.

This person is more popular than popular, Dongxing has always wanted to rebuild a headquarters building.

As a result, because of the land matter, it has not been discussed yet.

We didn't even say that it was free, and the free land here in the distance was delivered directly to our door..."

Hu Xiaorui said dissatisfaction, but her tone was indifferent, even a little proud.

Qin Yuhan listened for a while, then laughed and said, "You seem quite proud?"

Hu Xiaorui smiled and said, "Is there?"

"What do you say?"

"Maybe."

Hu Xiaorui smiled and said: "It's not just me, Yuanfang is the pride of Jiangbei and even the whole country.

Besides, I am not proud of the distance. "

Regardless of what she said later, Qin Yuhan also knew what it meant, so he didn't speak again for a while.

Hu Xiaorui didn't continue, but changed the subject: "Sister Yuhan, have you really decided to go back to Jiangbei this time?"

"I have this idea, but I still need to investigate the market..."

"No need to investigate!"

Hu Xiaorui said with a smile: "With Yuanfang's promotion in the past few years, all problems are not problems.

Jiangbei, especially Pingchuan, is now the city with the highest proportion of online shopping in China, the city with the highest proportion of Internet payment, and the city with the largest number of mobile Internet users.

People in Pingchuan are used to all this.

Habitual shopping online, habitually not carrying a wallet, and paying with mobile phones at any time.

Ordering food online is not too unusual for Hirakawa.

The public acceptance is very high. Just a few days ago, I saw that many people from Dongxing have already started ordering food online.

By the way, Pingchuan already has a food and beverage ordering platform, called the 'eating fat' website..."

"Fat?" Qin Yuhan looked confused, and asked after a while: "Is there any? We did a survey a few days ago, it seems that there is not yet?"

"It just came out recently, but the scale is small, and it delivers food near Jiangda University. Dongxing happens to be here, so I just found out.

And not long after it came out, many people have chosen to order food from the food ordering business at Universal Building.

That's why I said, you don't need to do market research, the sooner you go online, the better.

The current general environment in Jiangbei is very good, and there are distant places ahead to open up. It is easier to enter the field now than other places.

The reason why no one dares to enter the arena now is mainly because they are worried about the distant side.

But you don’t have to worry, you can easily gain a foothold when you enter this market…”

Before Hu Xiaorui finished speaking, Qin Yuhan frowned and said, "You mean..."

Hu Xiaorui said with a smile: "Yuanfang doesn't think much about this at the moment, and Li Dong may withdraw from Yuanfang in the near future. At this time, Yuanfang doesn't have much desire to expand.

Others don't know about this situation, and they are worried about repression from afar, so they dare not come.

But you are different, you enter the field, and the distance will not deliberately suppress..."

"He's quitting?"

Qin Yuhan was stunned suddenly. She had been paying attention to Li Dong's situation.

Li Dong actually expressed this kind of thought to her, but it was ambiguous and not too sure.

But since Hu Xiaorui said it, it should be true.

Suddenly, Qin Yuhan was at a loss.

All along, her goal is not actually how big or strong the business is.

But to prove to Li Dong that she is not a drag.

At the beginning, what she wanted was to surpass Li Dong, but later, what she wanted was not to be left too far behind by Li Dong.

Later, what she wanted was to at least let Li Dong know that she was not a vase, and she was no worse than anyone else.

Even if she can't surpass Li Dong, even if the gap is getting bigger and bigger, she must at least be stronger than Li Dong in some places, even if this strength is only her own idea.

But now, Hu Xiaorui said that Li Dong was about to quit.

Just when she was trying her best to surpass Li Dong in a certain field, just when she wanted to show off like a child, someone told her suddenly that he stopped playing!

All the proofs, all the showing off, suddenly seemed meaningless.

Li Dong doesn't care about these at all!

Not to mention a catering field, even in the distance, Li Dong can let it go as soon as he says it.

In the past, Qin Yuhan felt that Li Dong was playing a customs clearance game, but at that time Li Dong, even if he was just playing the game, was playing it seriously.

Li Dong's pursuit of career is longing.

But now, Li Dong is really playing the game, or Li Dong has got what he wants, and Yuan Fang has lost its due value and expression.

Qin Yuhan was in a daze, Hu Xiaorui glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Is it strange?

In fact, I think it's normal. What he pursues is not these things.

Didn't you notice?

Since he ascended to the position of the world's richest man, he has not been so interested in business development.

Maybe as he said, invincible loneliness.

Recently, he has time to drink tea, play basketball, or take care of the children at home. Maybe these things make him more motivated.

I think it's good that he doesn't have to prove himself to anyone now.

After leaving the distant place, he will have more time, and he doesn't have to keep his mouth shut for business matters, let alone face mountains of documents all day long.

In the past, when I asked him to come out to relax, he used the excuse that he was busy and had a lot of work.

Now, he has no excuses, does he?

Now if you have nothing to do, call him out for a drink of tea and a chat, and he seldom refuses.

Apart from refusing to disassemble things with me, this guy is easy to talk to now, which I think is pretty good. "

Qin Yuhan on the opposite side was still speechless.

Hu Xiaorui actually knew what she was thinking, and still smiled and said: "He himself lives an extraordinary life, but he actually hopes that he can live an ordinary life, including his lover and family.

What he longs for is someone to talk to when he is troubled, someone to comfort him when he is sad, and someone to share when he is happy.

I didn't think about this before, and I didn't pay attention to it.

Shen Bingshan thought about it and figured it out, so Shen Bingshan gave up his career.

Even now, despite holding an investment company, in fact Shen Bingshan doesn't care much at all.

Li Dong didn't expect Shen Bingshan to make the investment company big, it was almost enough.

He himself has created countless miracles, coupled with machismo, do you think he really cares about such a small miracle, how much money a woman can make?

In his opinion, if you have time to make money, it is better to bask in the sun with him.

Is Dongxing big enough?

But what the result is, he actually doesn't care how big Dongxing has done.

He asked Yuan Xue to go to Xiangjiang to manage his private fund company to make money?

He didn't think so, he just reassured Yuan Xue, let her find some fun for herself, so as not to let her think wildly.

So, career is not fundamental.

Sister Yuhan, I actually know what you think, but what exactly do you want to prove?

Prove you are stronger than him?

Even if you are really stronger than him, so what, he is a stubborn donkey, the stronger you are than him, the distance between each other will only grow further.

It's pointless to beat him in career. "

Hu Xiaorui has the posture of a wise man, with the air of pointing out the country.

Qin Yuhan was speechless for a long time, before suddenly saying: "You said Yuan Xue..."

Hu Xiaorui smiled and said: "I didn't say that, you misheard.

Of course, I know you must still not be reconciled.

Never mind, the facts will prove it all.

The food ordering network is developing in Jiangbei, sister Yuhan can always find me when she has something to do, or Li Dong directly, he doesn't really care about it.

But in the end?

After defeating Li Dong and proving himself, what then? "

"And then?" Qin Yuhan murmured, a little dazed.

then what?

Seeing her bewildered look, Hu Xiaorui didn't continue talking.

In fact, in Hu Xiaorui's view, Qin Yuhan has an advantage over everyone, including Shen Qian.

Qin Yuhan is different from others, such as Hu Xiaorui herself. She established Dongxing and prevented Dongxing from closing down. It was not because of her career, but because Dongxing was the bond between her and Li Dong.

Without Dong Xing, I'm afraid she and Li Dong would never have any contact again, and they parted ways long ago.

And before Shen Qian made her mark in the distance, she was trying to be the first in everything, in fact, it was to build a platform for communication with Li Dong.

If Shen Qian's performance has always been mediocre, with no other value except her background, then there will be no future between her and Li Dong.

After showing her own sense of existence, Shen Qian quickly gave up on going further in her career. Such a choice is too wise, at least in Hu Xiaorui's opinion.

As for Qin Yuhan, in fact, he didn't need to prove anything at all.

No matter how big your career is, can it be bigger than Li Dong?

Even if it is bigger than Li Dong, so what?

If the original intention was to achieve success in career, it would not be surprising to part ways with Li Dong.

If not, what is there to prove?

It's a thankless thing, Hu Xiaorui thinks so.

But Qin Yuhan is also a stubborn character, she may understand it herself, but understanding it does not mean that she will change.

Just like Li Dong, even if he knew something was wrong, he might not change anything.

...

When the two said goodbye, Qin Yuhan was still a little dazed.

Hu Xiaorui, on the other hand, lamented that he actually had time to be a teacher.

The reason why she talked so much with Qin Yuhan was that Hu Xiaorui felt that everything Qin Yuhan was doing now was meaningless.

Don't talk about it, you will only get farther and farther away from Li Dong in the end.

If she had stood in Shen Qian's position, she would not have said these words.

But since it's not, Hu Xiaorui doesn't care, anyway, it's not her who has a headache, let Shen Bingshan have a headache.

As for how Qin Yuhan chose in the end, Hu Xiaorui didn't try to guess.

When Hu Xiaorui got into the car and saw the phone ringing, Hu Xiaorui knew who was calling without even looking at the caller ID.

After answering the phone, Hu Xiaorui smiled and said without waiting for the other person to speak: "I didn't talk about anything, but I negated all her efforts in the early stage. Do I have the potential to be a villain?"

"..."

With a simple sentence, Li Dong probably guessed it, and after a while he said in a bad mood: "Nonsense!"

"Tch, am I helping you? Otherwise, with her temperament, she will have to toss around for three to five years, and she won't turn back until she hits the south wall..."

"Beep beep..."

Li Dong hung up the phone directly, Hu Xiaorui pouted, and then smiled happily, apparently in a good mood.
