Chapter 1709 Wishing to Turn Back Time
After the annual meeting, the warm atmosphere in the distance has not cooled down.
On February 22, Yuanfang started an internal subscription plan.
As soon as the subscription plan was launched, all employees who met the requirements subscribed to the limit amount they could achieve almost immediately.
For the subscription target of 2.8 billion shares, those former minority shareholders received a quota of 800 million shares.
The remaining 2 billion shares are subscribed among internal employees.
10 yuan a share, 20 billion share.
Such a subscription amount is hard to imagine. In just three days, Yuanfang completed the subscription.
There is no coercion and no coercion is required.
No one thinks that the listing of Yuanfang Retail will fail, let alone that it will not be able to bring them benefits after the listing.
A few years ago, some people might be worried and some people might be afraid.
But as the distance is approaching step by step, no one will think that Li Dong will fail, and Li Dong's success has become the common concept of everyone.
...
In just three days, the subscription task of 2.8 billion shares ended.
Yuanfang Retail added another 28 billion in liquidity.
When some entrepreneurs heard the news, they felt inexplicable.
Such a company is really scary sometimes.
There is no doubt in the trust in the company, and even more blind trust in Li Dong. Maybe such a company is still full of disadvantages, but no matter how many disadvantages there are, as long as that person is still there, such disadvantages are nothing to worry about.
And just after the subscription task ended on February 25, Yuanfang announced a new personnel change plan.
Yuan Chengdao, president of Yuanfang Holdings, took over the post of CEO of the group.
Sun Tao, served as executive vice president.
Chen Lang, as the senior vice president of the group.
Wang Yue, as Senior Vice President of the Group.
Liu Hongmei, as Senior Vice President of the Group.
Five directors and vice presidents constitute the new decision-making system of Yuanfang Group.
The personnel of Yuanfang's group also changed, and Qi Yunna officially took over the retail group.
On the eve of the listing, Chen Lang was deprived of the position of retail chairman, which was unacceptable to many people. However, Chen Lang, as the senior vice president, still manages the business of the retail group, and Chen Lang is mainly responsible for the listing matters. In this way, this kind of Dissatisfaction will disappear completely.
Except for Qi Yunna taking over the position of chairman of the retail group, the former president of the retail group remains unchanged, and Tan Haiying from e-commerce is appointed as the executive president of the retail group.
Lu Zhaoxi, from Dibao, is the vice president of the retail group and is in charge of the e-commerce business.
Among the retail groups, there are still some changes that are not top-level.
Chen Ying, the former retail general manager of Shanghai Stock Exchange, was appointed as the president of the retail East China region, Bai Su, the former vice president of administration for the North China region, was appointed as the general manager of Jingcheng retail, and Chen Ke, the former general manager of Jiangxi Province, was transferred to the holding group as the vice president of the administrative department...
A series of personnel changes is dazzling.
Among them, the most eye-catching one is Qi Yunna.
This woman who is just 36 years old this year, although she was well-known in the outside world before, this is the first time that she has attracted the attention of the world.
Yuanfang Retail is now the second largest super retail group in the world after Wal-Mart.
Qi Yunna spent six years in charge of such a group.
And six years ago, this woman worked as a salesperson in a department store!
Unlike Sun Tao, Sun Tao previously served as the vice president of Carrefour Province.
Unlike Wang Yue, Wang Yue previously served as the boss of another large supermarket.
Also different from Yuan Chengdao, Yuan Chengdao had held high positions in many well-known companies before he came to Yuanfang.
Others such as Chen Lang and Kong Xiangyu, without exception, have rich experience.
Even Liu Hongmei worked as a financial manager in a large state-owned factory before joining Yuanfang.
Only Qi Yunna is the real example of the rise of the bottom.
From a salesperson at the bottom to the head of the world's second largest retail group, such a resume can be called a legend.
As for the more legendary Wang Jie, after all, the board of supervisors does not have a real position, and under Qi Yunna's cover, there are not many people talking about it.
...
Subscription is over, personnel adjustments are completed, and Yuanfang Retail has started its official listing journey.
On February 27, Yuanyuan submitted various materials and prospectuses to the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
Listed, entered the final review stage.
But at this time, Li Dong didn't stay at the company, didn't take care of the children at home, and didn't visit Qin Yuhan.
On the last day of February, on the 28th, Li Dong had a private treat.
Li Dong rarely treats guests, and it's not that he is stingy, but that there are not many people who can treat Li Dong now.
Especially now, there are not many people worthy of Li Dong's treat.
...
In a small restaurant with an elegant environment.
Li Dong arrived one step ahead of schedule.
As soon as the door opened, Li Dong took the initiative to stand up, pulled away the chair and said with a smile, "Mr. Hu, please sit down."
Hu Wanlin a few years ago, although not too much makeup, still had a lot of romantic atmosphere, Li Dong didn't like it too much.
The current Hu Wanlin is completely washed out, with a little more simplicity.
In 2008, Hu Wanlin and Li Dong reached an agreement to drag Chen Rui and his group into the water by blowing up their own stains.
In the end, under the management of Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe, Hu Wanlin was sentenced to two years in prison.
In the later period, because of her good performance and people taking care of her from the outside world, Hu Wanlin's sentence was commuted by 6 months, and she was just released from prison yesterday.
In a year and a half, Hu Wanlin has changed a lot, at least in Li Dong's view.
But in the same way, in Hu Wanlin's eyes, Li Dong has changed even more.
She knew Li Dong early. As early as 2005, the two met for the first time in Beijing.
At that time, Li Dong was still trying to buy Baidu's original shares.
And that acquaintance was Li Dong through Hu Wanlin's distant relative, and the two sides didn't have much contact.
The second meeting was a very unpleasant meeting.
Wang Jia's father owed Hu Wanlin a lot of usury loans. At that time, Li Dong stood in for Wang Jia, and the two of them fell apart from the beginning.
At that time, Hu Wanlin's only thought was that this young man was domineering and arrogant.
I don't know why if I have a little money, I think he is the biggest in the world.
At that time, Hu Wanlin never thought that one day, the two would meet in this form, let alone that they could sit at the same table to eat peacefully.
Of course, I didn't even think about it, this young man who didn't know the so-called at the beginning, now has achievements beyond everyone's imagination.
Even in prison, because someone took care of her, Hu Wanlin didn't cut off the news from the outside world.
When she went in in 2008, Li Dong had to take risks in order to deal with people like Chen Rui and Han Yu.
Hu Wanlin was still thinking in prison, whether Li Dong would be retaliated against later, would he be punished?
Although Li Dong was strong at that time, he was not so strong that no one could beat him.
Hu Wanlin sometimes suspected that Li Dong, who had offended so many people, might be swallowed up before she was released from prison, and her fate would be even more miserable than her.
But what Hu Wanlin didn't expect was that Li Dongyue became stronger as he fought.
Ever since Chen Rui and Han Yu were dealt with, Li Dong has soared into the sky. Every time he hears about Li Dong, Hu Wanlin can't believe it.
Swallowed Guomei, killed Teng Xun, went public on Weibo, annexed Dibao, created the world's second retail group, and its comprehensive strength can even reach the top of the world's number one IT group...
Every time she sees news about Li Dong, Hu Wanlin is in a daze.
While in a trance, Hu Wanlin also laughed at herself a little. The current Li Dong may have forgotten her long ago.
An old woman in prison is indeed not worthy of Li Dong's concern.
She and Li Dong can't talk about feelings, the two sides are more interested in cooperation, from the beginning.
But Hu Wanlin didn't expect that on the second day after she was released from prison, she received a call from Li Dong inviting her to dinner.
This shows that Li Dong still remembers this, otherwise he would never know that she was released from prison.
A busy person like Li Dong can still remember such a small person like her. It has to be said that a phone call made Hu Wanlin feel a lot.
In the private room.
Hu Wanlin was in a daze until Li Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Hu, should you have seen enough now?"
Hu Wanlin regained her senses in an instant, only to realize that she had been staring at Li Dong, her face flushed a little, but she quickly recovered, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li's charm is getting bigger and bigger, and people can't help but go deeper into it."
Li Dong laughed, and asked Hu Wanlin to sit down, then returned to his seat, and said with a smile: "I accept your compliment, I haven't seen you for a while, you seem to be in good spirits.
The last time we met, you said that the next meeting would be in a free place, so I haven't seen you in the past year, don't you mind? "
Hu Wanlin chuckled and said, "I don't mind. I have to thank you for not visiting me. Otherwise, if I fall into your eyes, it would be self-destructive."
Li Dong laughed, waited for the waiter to serve the food, raised his wine glass and said, "Have a drink first, this meal can be regarded as a cleansing.
I originally planned to treat guests yesterday, but after thinking about it, I'd better reserve a day for you, so I can take care of it.
Now it seems that I think too much.
I thought you must be pale and thin now, or much older, hard to see.
Looking at it now, it is even more interesting than the previous two years. "
Hu Wanlin winked like waves, and said with a smile in her eyes: "Mr. Li really thinks so?"
"Hahaha, don't discharge me, I'm married and have children now, so I'm not tempted."
Li Dong smiled brightly, raised his glass again and said, "When we meet old friends, don't be polite to Mr. Li, just call me by my name, and I am the same.
Didn't you say that at the beginning?
Are we friends?
I said we are friends, since we are friends, let's be more straightforward.
Speaking of which, you and I are not acquainted with each other.
Over the years, you have never harmed me, but you have helped me many times. The Feng family at the beginning and the Qi family later were all settled by you.
Although you have your purpose, it is a fact that you helped me.
Later, you also contributed a lot to Han Yu and the others.
Speaking of it, I was impulsive and willful at the beginning. Although you are a usurer, you still take the money out in real money. I didn't pay a penny of interest. Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem appropriate.
But I won't talk about the past, and you don't do these things now, so that's not bad..."
Li Dong rambled a few words, but Hu Wanlin did not refute, and raised his glass to touch him.
The two ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was not bad.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Li Dong said: "Before, I let people run the Guanghe Group, but in the past two years, I have a lot of things to do, and I didn't take care of it.
Compared with before, it can only be said that there is no regression or progress.
Turn around and take a moment, I will ask someone to explain to you..."
Hu Wanlin smiled and said, "No need."
Seeing Li Dong looking at her, Hu Wanlin stroked the ends of her hair, and said with a light smile: "In the past, I was only thinking about getting rich so that I could stand out.
But in the past two years, sometimes when I think back to the beginning, I feel that everything is not worth it.
So what if you have money?
As much as you gain, you lose as much.
After I was imprisoned, my parents never came to see me because they felt ashamed. In fact, I also felt ashamed of my previous self.
After being in prison for so long, besides you who came to see me, the only person who came to see me was my distant niece.
I see it now, money and power are all just floating clouds.
So what if you take over the photosynthesis now?
Continue to struggle in Vanity Fair?
Facing the rich and powerful, continue to nod and bow to show off coquettishly?
Let those old men ride on me and show off? "
"Cough cough cough!"
Li Dong couldn't laugh or cry: "Stop, don't mention these words, so you don't want to continue to operate Guanghe?"
Hu Wanlin smiled, nodded lightly and said, "I don't want to, not to mention I don't think so now."
"Then how about this..." Li Dong pondered for a moment and said, "Guanghe is well-known in Jiangbei for designing greenery.
Longhua is now expanding rapidly. Xu Shengzhe has thought about industrial expansion before, and is also interested in Guanghe.
Before, I thought about waiting for you to take over, but I ignored him.
Looking back, I asked him, if Longhua is interested, then I will take Guanghe.
If Longhua isn't interested, then I'll help you take another look.
Fame and fortune are like floating clouds, but he has no money and status, and he can't live happily.
When I'm done, the money will be credited to your card. "
Hu Wanlin smiled again: "Then I won't refuse, your boss Li is not short of money, and it would be ignorant of me to refuse again."
Li Dong smiled and said, "Since you won't take over Guanghe, have you thought about what to do next?"
Hu Wanlin smiled like a flower and said, "If you don't mind, how about I be a canary for you?"
"Cough cough cough..." Li Dong coughed again, waved his hands and said, "Don't torment me, I can't stand it."
Hu Wanlin said with some regret: "It's a pity, it's not easy to find a rich, handsome, and able to protect yourself.
I wish I could go back in time, if what I met ten years ago was not that old thing but you, how could this happen today.
Although I don't have much contact with you, I know that if I really want to get along with you, I'm afraid I can live the life I want with peace of mind in this life.
You are not as ruthless as others, but it's a pity that your beauty is gone, and the remaining flowers are gone.
If you say sorry, it's a bit regretful.
Of course, if I hadn't taken this path, I wouldn't have known you. It's God's will to drink and peck. "
Li Dong laughed dumbly and said: "When I met a woman like you ten years ago, I'm afraid I should feel inferior. Besides, I was a kid at that time, so you can do it?"
"Hahaha……"
Hu Wanlin smiled very brightly, without the affectation of ordinary women.
After laughing for a while, Hu Wanlin said softly again: "To be honest, do you know why I told you this?"
Before Li Dong could speak, Hu Wanlin continued: "Everyone knows that I have been a mistress, even if I don't say it, there is a disgusting look in my eyes.
You are different, maybe you never cared about me at all, but at least you didn't look down on me or feel disgusted by me.
For someone else, in your position, would you still think of me, Hu Wanlin?
Even if you remember this person, you should ignore me at this time.
As I said long ago, you are a true lover.
Just say that your driver, if you change someone, even if you take care of him, you won't be with you for so many years.
And the one who was in debt back then, you and the other party are not familiar, right?
Li Dong, telling you this, I just feel that it is really an honor to have a friend like you. "
Li Dong smiled and said: "I should say it's an honor. I feel that what you praised me is true. Over the years, few people have praised me like that."
"Then I can praise you more..."
"..."
The two chatted and laughed for a while, and left after eating.
...
It wasn't until he got in the car that Li Dong smiled and shook his head. He didn't expect that one day he and Hu Wanlin would become friends and chat happily.
Of course, if the woman didn't tease him, Li Dong felt that he should be able to chat longer.
In addition, the other party is now out of prison, and he has settled his few knots, which is why Li Dong is in a good mood.
