Chapter 375: The First Wave of Expansion Mergers and Acquisitions

Originally, Li Dong was planning to take Li Lan out for a round in the afternoon.

But when the car was halfway through, Shen Qian called Li Dong.

The acquisition of Jia Xinglong has been settled, and the person in charge who went to Pingshan to discuss the matter has just arrived at the company, and now he is looking for Li Dong to report the situation.

When Li Dong heard that it was an important matter, he didn't have the time to play anymore, so he talked to Li Lan and brought Li Lan to the company.

This is the first time for Li Lan to come to Pingchuan, the first time to ride in Li Dong's Maybach, and the first time to join Li Dong's company.

In the past, she heard people say that her cousin was very capable, but Li Lan's concept was actually very vague.

But when he saw that such a big company belonged to Li Dong, and so many people in the company had to listen to his cousin, Li Lan really realized how capable his cousin was.

The little girl looked at Li Dong with admiration, especially seeing everyone shouting respectfully, Mr. Li, Li Lan was even more admiring.

Li Dong also ignored the little girl's thoughts, took Li Lan into the office and said: "You can play by yourself, you can go out to play, don't go downstairs, I have something to talk about, don't run around, you understand?"

Li Lan nodded obediently.

Li Dong didn't say much when he saw this, Li Lan was still very obedient, and he didn't need to give him a lot of advice.

After explaining to Li Lan, Li Dong said to the substitute assistant outside the door: "Let Director Zhang come and find me."

The substitute assistant quickly responded, and then frantically called.

Li Dong frowned slightly. The last time he said he was looking for a secretary, he felt that it didn't matter if he didn't have a secretary.

But now it seems that it will not work if you don't recruit them. You can count on these people in the administration department to do things.

But let's just get on with it for now. Although the recruitment announcement has been sent out, and the personnel side is also stepping up interviews, it will take a few days. For these few days, only people from the administration department can be used.

Li Dong waited in the office for a while, and the director of the marketing department who went to Pingshan to discuss the acquisition hurried in.

Seeing a little girl in Li Dong's office, Director Zhang glanced at it without asking any further questions, picked up the folder and began to report the situation to Li Dong.

The acquisition of the three small and medium-sized supermarkets was negotiated by the director of the marketing department.

In the early stage, Sun Tao had already talked about the same thing, and the last thing that got stuck was the price.

Now Li Dong wants to act resolutely, and Director Zhang also wants to cut through the mess quickly. He reached an agreement with Jia Xinglong just three days after he went to Pingshan.

"Jia Xinglong has a total of six stores, one hypermarket, and occupies a dominant position in Pingshan's retail industry. When Kelong merged, I also approached Jia Xinglong to discuss the merger, but the other party refused. This time, Mr. Sun It took a lot of effort to reach an agreement with the other party. Mr. Sun had kept the price at 27 million before, and Jia Xinglong had been asking for 30 million, so they couldn't reach an agreement.

This time, because Mr. Li said that you can increase the price appropriately, I went to Pingshan and talked with the person in charge of Jiaxinglong several times, and finally negotiated the price to 28.5 million..."

After Director Zhang finished his report, Li Dong nodded and said, "The 28.5 million yuan is still within the acceptable range, has the contract been signed yet?"

"I haven't signed it yet. This time I came back to report the situation to you. Since you agreed, I will return to Pingshan in the afternoon. The contract can be signed tomorrow."

"Well, you've all worked hard during this time, hold on for a while, Yuanfang is replenishing manpower, and soon someone will help you share the pressure."

Director Zhang smiled and didn't answer, he was busy. In fact, these high-level executives in the distance didn't feel too hard.

The main reason is that the power is much greater than before. Like this time, it involves tens of millions of investment, which round he had to discuss in the past.

But this time, there was not enough manpower in the distant place, so he went. In fact, he still has a lot of autonomy. When talking about acquisitions, it is a matter of tens of millions of dollars, which is actually a matter of his opening his mouth.

This feeling is wonderful, except for being a little tired, the sense of control is really cool.

Li Dong didn't continue to say more, and then asked: "How is the situation of the other two?"

"It's coming soon. The two of them are not as big as Jia Xinglong. The reason why they were procrastinating before was because they wanted to see the situation on Jia Xinglong's side. Now that Jia Xinglong has negotiated, the two of them will soon compromise. Happy I’m going to ask 18 million for the department store, and 16 million for the five-star chain, so it shouldn’t be difficult to negotiate, does Mr. Li think this price is acceptable?”

Li Dong thought for a while and said: "Yes, we can deal with the acquisitions of these companies as soon as possible. Also, once the contract is signed, let the financial and management personnel from the far side immediately settle in several other companies, seal up the accounts and funds, and change the license The matter must be dealt with as soon as possible..."

After finishing speaking, Li Dong realized that he was not responsible for this matter, and said again: "Forget it, you can just negotiate, and I will arrange someone to take over other matters."

"Okay, Mr. Li, shall I go first?"

"Go!"

Li Dong nodded, and then shouted to the substitute assistant outside the door: "Let Mr. Shen and Director Liu from the finance department come over. By the way, let Deputy Director Jiang from the Commercial Management Department come over."

"knew!"

The substitute assistant responded, and began to frantically make phone calls again.

Because there will be arrangements to accept Jia Xinglong later, Li Dong may have to talk for a long time, afraid that Li Lan will be in a hurry, Li Dong said to Li Lan who was looking at him with his chin dragging: "If you are bored, I will ask the driver to take you out. Have fun, or take you to the hotel."

Li Lan shook her head and said in a low voice, "Brother, can I just stay here?"

"Of course, but aren't you bored?"

There were two dimples on Li Lan's face, and she said with a smile, "I'm not bored, watching my brother talk about things, I feel very handsome."

He also imitated Li Dong's movements, waved his hand, squeezed his throat and said, "Okay, then it's settled, you go down!"

Li Dong couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and rubbed her head again.

After a while, Shen Qian and the others entered the door, and Li Lan consciously walked to the reception area and sat down without disturbing Li Dong.

Shen Qian asked and knew that she was Li Dong's cousin, so she nodded to Li Lan and didn't communicate much.

In the afternoon, Li Dong mainly discussed mergers and acquisitions with them.

The acquisition of Jiaxinglong is just the beginning, and the next step is to accept and integrate the other party's stores with the distant place, which is the key part.

There is no need to replace the low-level employees now, but the high-level employees of the companies that can be acquired must be replaced.

Not to mention kicking all of them away, most of them will definitely step down.

And this needs to be filled by Yuanfang, because it is not a self-built store on Yuanfang, and more manpower is needed.

The six stores have to send people to accept it, by the way to stabilize the morale of the army, and there is also a hypermarket, which also needs professional acceptance and financial review.

These alone are enough for Li Dong to drink a pot. Without a small team of twenty people, it is difficult to take over Jia Xinglong as quickly as possible.

This is the first one. Although the next two supermarkets are a little smaller than Jiaxinglong, they still have a lot of people. For the three supermarkets, at least 50 people are enough for the distant side.

Li Dong and Shen Qian talked for three hours before they arranged everything.

After talking, Shen Qian said with a tired face: "Mr. Li, we are only taking over three small businesses, and our manpower is already stretched. Now we can barely take over three supermarkets, but what about Times? The scale of Times is not smaller than ours. Coupled with the change of owner, the morale of the army is unstable, and a stable transition is a big problem."

"I know."

Li Dong nodded first, and then said: "There is no need to panic in the era, and the transition is slow. There is actually no shortage of grassroots manpower. What I consider is the key who will be in charge when the time comes."

The time is far away in southern Jiangsu, Li Dong will definitely not go to sit in the town.

Temporary sitting in the city is fine, but Times Supermarket is not a temporary thing. This transition period may not be passed within a year or two.

Naturally, Li Dong couldn't stay for such a long time, neither could Sun Tao and Shen Qian.

Jiangbei is also quite busy. Once Sun Tao and Shen Qian leave, the company will be even busier. Li Dong is really afraid that he will be too busy.

But the era is very important and the scale is large. Without an elite management team watching over it, how can Li Dong rest assured.

Li Dongyi said, Shen Qian also reacted and said: "Then you mean to recruit again, high-level?"

"It depends on the situation. Some high-level executives on the Times side are still available, but we also need a general manager here. You can't go. If it's not possible, I'll let President Sun stay there for a year or two."

Jiangbei's side is much more stable than Sunan's. Sun Tao is gone, and it's okay to recruit another vice president to support him.

It seems that Sun Tao is the most suitable for Sunan at present, Wang Yue is not good, Wang Yue is an expanding talent, the era is acquired, what is needed is a smooth transition, Sun Tao is more suitable than Wang Yue.

Shen Qian nodded when she heard the words, gloating and said: "Mr. Sun was pretty good in the past, so he doesn't need to be suppressed by you, maybe he is still happy."

Li Dong rolled his eyes and said: "Fuck you, am I that kind of person? Don't talk about these useless things, talk to Song Jie later, hurry up, what does their personnel department do? It's been so long , A job fair hasn't been done yet? It's already June, and the recruitment for graduation will start soon, so don't you really wait for people to get their diplomas before recruiting!"

"Hurry up, don't rush too much. Now everyone is working hard and looking for important personnel. Are you in a hurry to become Song Jie?"

"Okay, let's do this first."

Li Dong said and added: "By the way, you can make arrangements for the acquisition of Xinglong, and notify the media to let them report. As soon as the contract is signed tomorrow, the media will start reporting, so that everyone can see the strength of Yuanfang, and transfer it by the way. line of sight."

Shen Qian understood what he meant, nodded and said: "No problem, knowing that we are acquiring local companies, other people will not think of our meddling in South Jiangsu."

"That's good."

Then the two discussed a few more words, and finally Shen Qian yawned and left the office.

Li Dong is also quite tired, but fortunately everything has been dealt with, and he can be free for a few days.

Just thinking about going to bed early tonight and taking Li Lan out for fun in the next few days, Li Dong's cell phone rang.

Li Dong patted his head when he saw the calling number!

Take a rest, I almost forgot about the big things.

The call is from Wang Jie, that guy is getting married the day after tomorrow.

Last time Wang Jie personally went to Pingchuan to send invitations to Li Dong. Li Dong also said that if he had nothing to do, he would go there early to help out. Who knew he was so busy that he almost forgot.

Fortunately, now that I think about it, if I didn't go on the day of Wang Jie's wedding, I'm afraid that guy would hate me to death.

After connecting the phone, Wang Jie's voice came from the other side of the phone. Wang Jie asked, "Dongzi, are you busy tomorrow?"

"Aren't you getting married the day after tomorrow?" Li Dong asked immediately.

"Nonsense, of course I'm getting married the day after tomorrow. But if you're not busy, come here early. Tomorrow, I have to drink housewarming wine and decorate the new house. There is one more thing I forgot to tell you last time. I am short of a best man. Can you please excuse me?" Do you want to help?"

"I'll go! We're going to get married soon, you guy said you didn't find a best man?" Li Dong rolled his eyes, Wang Jie was really big-hearted.

Wang Jie said depressedly: "Nonsense, of course I found it. The other party is my cousin. But that bastard didn't know who he heard from. He said that after being the best man three times, he would have to be a bachelor in the future. This guy has been the best man twice before." , This temporary change of mind, I don't want to live or die, I can't force him."

Li Dong couldn't hold back his laughter, and laughed for a while before saying: "Okay, let's talk about this tomorrow. If there is nothing particularly important tomorrow, I will rush back to Dongping first. If the best man is not the best man, I have to think about it, who made you The first one didn't find me."

"Do I dare to look for you? You are a big boss. Be my best man. I am afraid that you will lose your status. I was going to let you be my officiant before, but my mother said that the officiant should be older , and you are not married yourself, so I didn't tell you, you are free when you come, and it is just right for me to be the best man."

"Understood, let's talk about it first."

After hanging up the phone, Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Wang Jie called, otherwise it would be bad if he forgot.

Now I have to think about what gift to give when they get married. After much deliberation, Li Dong doesn't know what to give.

He has no experience with this, so I'd better go to Dongping tomorrow and ask Wang Jie to see what this guy wants.

If there is no request, then just seal a red envelope and forget it, and save trouble.

Because tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I can't come back for at least two days, Li Dong's original wish to take a rest also came to nothing.

Before it was completely dark, Li Dong dealt with chores in the office again.

By the time everything was done, it was already seven o'clock.

As soon as he looked up, Li Dong realized that he had overlooked something. The girl Li Lan had already fallen asleep leaning on the sofa.

Li Dong was helpless when he saw this, the girl didn't say a word all afternoon, he made himself forget her, he was really timid.

After getting up and moving his body, Li Dong woke up Li Lan, and led Li Lan downstairs who was in a daze.

Before returning home, he first took Li Lan to Dongfang Yuzhuang, had dinner with Li Chengyuan and the others, and then Li Dong took Li Lan back to Wanyuan Community.

As for Chen Jing and the others, Li Dong didn't care, and Li Chengyuan and the others had to arrange it themselves.

Anyway, it is convenient to live in a hotel here in the provincial capital, and the Li family is not short of money, so there will be no place for them to live no matter what. (To be continued.)
