Chapter 432 Sweet and Sour

Li Dong was indeed a little surprised.

However, his face was still calm, and when Chen Gang finished speaking, Li Dong apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, if that's all you want to talk about, I think our conversation can end."

What are you kidding?

Being held by Bealead or even exchanged for shares? Will Li Dong still have the right to speak in the distance?

BeaLenovo is quite beautiful. Even if Li Dong exchanged shares, how many shares can Yuanfang occupy in BeaLenovo with the current capital?

Maybe in the end, he won't even be able to get into Bailian's board of directors.

Get dividends in Bailian every year?

It's not that he doesn't have money, since he doesn't lack money, why should he be controlled by others.

Chen Gang seemed a little disappointed when he heard the words, but also seemed relieved. He smiled and continued, "Don't worry, Mr. Li. I have another plan. Mr. Li can also consider it."

ps: I wish everyone a happy New Year's Day in advance. 2016 has passed, and the eagle has fallen asleep, and the dizziness is severe.

"Please say."

"Since Mr. Li is not willing to exchange shares in Yuanfang, what does Mr. Li think about BaiLenovo's shareholding in Times?"

"Hold shares in Times?"

"Yes, the era alone does not involve distant places. It is equivalent to the two of us joining forces to win the era."

"Hehe, Mr. Chen is really good at joking. I'm not short of money. Do I need to cooperate with you? Now that we're almost done negotiating with Times, the only thing we need to do is to sign a contract. How do I feel about Bailian when you say we want to cooperate?" I'm here to pick peaches."

Li Dong didn't take Chen Gang's cooperation request twice, and he was naturally not as polite as he was at the beginning.

"Mr. Li, don't you think about it?"

"No."

Chen Gang hesitated for a moment before saying: "Mr. Li won't be sure that you will win the era, right?"

Li Dong frowned, and said lightly: "What does Mr. Chen mean? Is Bailian still planning to intervene?"

"That's not true. I'm talking about Mr. Fang. Mr. Li feels that his banquet this time,

Just to celebrate your successful cooperation? Does Mr. Li know who Mr. Fang invited this time? In addition to us, not to mention domestic companies such as China Resources and Suguo, there are also some foreign retail companies. "

Chen Gang paused and continued: "Mr. Fang's intention is obvious. He just wants to put some pressure on Yuanfang. I don't think Mr. Fang agrees with the conditions you negotiated before. This time, Mr. Fang will overthrow Mr. Li. According to the agreement, Mr. Li thinks that you will still be able to win at that time?"

Li Dong's eyes flickered, he had thought about this before.

But now that Chen Gang brought it up in person, Li Dong still felt a little dissatisfied.

If Fang Keng really changed his mind, he would be a little greedy.

Moreover, the two sides have talked for so long, and the conditions were also discussed by the high-level officials of the two parties before. Now that they have changed their minds, the influence of the other party may not be much better.

Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction. After all, Fang Keng himself has not talked to him, and Li Dong will not show any strangeness now.

Without answering Chen Gang's words, Li Dong got up and said, "If Mr. Chen is okay, I'll take a step ahead. Chairman Fang is still waiting."

Chen Gang said softly: "Mr. Li, you can consider my previous opinion. After all, as I said, Times business circles overlap with China Resources and Bailian. Two fists are hard to beat. If Mr. Li insists on intervening in East China No one can say for sure what the future holds for the competition."

Li Dong didn't know if this was a threat or a kind reminder.

But no matter what, he would not agree to the two points proposed by Chen Gang.

Nodding slightly towards Chen Gang, Li Dong smiled lightly and said, "It's too early to talk about this now, as I said before, who wins the battle, let's go and see."

Chen Gang's face changed slightly, and he also nodded and did not speak again.

...

As soon as Li Dong finished talking here, Fang Rende, who had just gone somewhere, came over.

After a few polite words with Li Dong, Fang Rende led Li Dong to the front table.

After walking for a while, Li Dong saw the gray-haired Fang Keng talking with several people.

I don't know if he saw Li Dong or the conversation just ended. As soon as Li Dong arrived, Fang Keng dismissed a few people, turned around and smiled at Li Dong: "Mr. Li, sit down. I'm really sorry for not being able to greet you far away."

Li Dong bowed slightly and said with a smile, "Old Fang, you are being polite. I am a junior, so I should."

Then Li Dong sat down in front of Fang Keng, and Fang Rende refilled tea for the two of them.

Fang Rende was in his forties anyway, and he was not Li Dong's subordinate, so Li Dong naturally refused politely.

After pouring himself a cup of tea, Li Dong started chatting with Fang Keng.

Originally, Li Dong thought that Fang Keng would definitely tell him about the acquisition, but Fang Keng never said anything. He talked about business, the weather, and politics, but he didn't talk about the times.

At first Li Dong was a little impatient, but then he thought about it, what's the rush, old man Fang would say sooner or later, since he was willing to talk nonsense, he just had to accompany him to talk nonsense.

After talking for a while, Fang Keng looked at the time and said apologetically, "President Li, it's time for the banquet. I'll excuse you for a moment."

"It's okay, Mr. Fang can take care of himself."

...

When Fang Keng went to the banquet hall stage, Li Dong frowned.

Sun Tao didn't know when he came over, glanced at Fang Keng who was talking on the stage, and said softly, "What does Mr. Fang mean?"

"I don't know, I just hate this kind of people who talk in a twisting manner."

Li Dong muttered, feeling a little impatient.

Isn't Fang Keng holding such a banquet today to put pressure on him, but Li Dong is so easy to compromise?

The price of 2.4 billion is not low. Although there are many retail companies present, who can bid higher than 2.4 billion?

If there was, it would not have been Yuanfang's turn to discuss the acquisition with Times before. Li Dong felt that it was unwise for old man Fang to come out tonight.

No matter what Li Dong thought, the dinner party officially started.

Because it is a self-service banquet, there are not many people who actually come to eat, and most of them use this occasion to talk about business and socialize.

Although Li Dong didn't know a few people, there were quite a few people who came to chat with him at night.

After receiving a stack of business cards, Li Dong felt that his face was about to freeze from laughter.

After struggling for more than an hour, Li Dong saw that Fang Keng and his son were still entertaining guests, so he snorted softly and said to Sun Tao: "Let's go, let them play by themselves!"

The father and son didn't know what they were doing. They said they were entertaining Li Dong. In fact, except for a few words at the beginning, they chatted with Li Dong for a while, and almost didn't talk about business with Li Dong at other times.

Li Dong originally thought that this trip to Tongzhou would surely settle the affairs of the times quickly.

But now, after procrastinating again and again, he is not in a good mood.

Hearing what Li Dong said, Sun Tao hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, why don't you go say hello to Mr. Fang?"

"No need."

After Li Dong finished speaking, he didn't care what others thought, he got up and walked straight to the door.

He was originally the focus of the audience, and when he saw Li Dong walking out the door, the faces of the guests who had been paying attention to him showed a look of strangeness, and then they couldn't help but look at the Fang family father and son.

Fang Keng, who was talking to others, saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere on the field, so he turned his head and took a look.

Just in time to see Li Dong walking out, Fang Keng's eyes flickered, and he motioned to Fang Rende beside him.

Seeing this, Fang Rende hurriedly walked towards Li Dong.

...

As soon as Li Dong and Li Dong left the banquet hall, Fang Rende chased after them.

Fang Rende said apologetically, "Mr. Li, Mr. Sun, I didn't greet you well. What is this, you two?"

Li Dong said lightly: "It's okay, I just feel a little uncomfortable. I wanted to talk to Mr. Fang, but I think Mr. Fang is busy, so I didn't bother you."

Everyone would say polite words, and Fang Rende naturally knew why Li Dong left early.

But he couldn't really let Li Dong go. Hearing what Li Dong said, Fang Rende was concerned about Li Dong's body, and then said: "Mr. Li, if it's convenient, can we have a chat?"

"Can."

"Mr. Li, come here."

Fang Rende led Li Dong and the two into a small meeting room next to the banquet hall.

Both parties sat down, and Fang Rende cut to the chase and said, "Mr. Li, don't get me wrong. The banquet tonight is not to put pressure on Mr. Li, nor is it to embarrass Mr. Li. In fact, this is just a farewell dinner for my father and the elders of Tongzhou. .

Once Times is sold, my father is going to withdraw his investment in Tongzhou and devote himself to the development of Zhaofeng Group.

You also know that when people get old, the feeling of homesickness will become heavier, and my father is almost seventy years old this year, and it is impossible to say how many times he will be able to return to Tongzhou in the future..."

Fang Rende explained for a while, as for whether Li Dong believed it or not, he didn't have to worry about it.

After he finished speaking, Li Dong said, "So Mr. Fang is planning to sell the era?"

"My father has this idea, but..."

It's useless to listen to the front of the conversation, you have to listen to the back. As soon as he heard the word "but", Li Dong knew that the main point of the day was coming.

Fang's father and son are hosting a banquet and creating a tense atmosphere. Just for now, Li Dong also wants to hear what they want to do.

As soon as Fang Rende said this, Li Dong said, "But what?"

Fang Rende apologized, and said a little embarrassedly: "I mean, the era is after all my father's painstaking effort. I have a suggestion. I wonder if Mr. Li can listen to it?"

"Boss Fang speaks bluntly."

"I have an immature idea. It's like this. After all, Times was founded by my father, and my father has a deep affection for Times. If I sell all of them, I'm afraid that my father will be reluctant to part with them in the future, so I made it my own. Advocate, make a suggestion to Mr. Li.

Time can merge with Yuanfang, and the price is still the same.

Didn't we talk about the down payment of 1 billion? We also know that Yuanfang has been in the development stage for the past two years and needs money urgently. We can pay the 1 billion in another way..."

"Change the way?"

There was a strange look on Li Dong's face, he seemed to guess what Fang Rende was going to say next.

Sure enough, Fang Rende quickly said: "Yes, Mr. Li, what do you think? We can use Yuanfang's equity to replace the 1 billion. After Yuanfang's integration era, the valuation is about 4.5 billion. We use this 1 billion in exchange for 20% of Yuanfang's equity. Shares, what does Mr. Li think?

In this way, my father can be regarded as the master of the times in the future, and he can be comforted in the future. "

Li Dong couldn't laugh or cry, what's the matter?

Everyone regards the distant place as their sweet pastry. Is the distant place so good?

Others don't talk about it, the Fang family father and son are really interesting.

Going around, the two father and son didn't want money, nor did they want the era, they just wanted to hold shares in a distant place.

That is to say, in their eyes, the times are not as good as the distant places.

For a tycoon like Fang Keng, it takes a lot of courage to admit that his company is not as good as the other party.

The point is that Li Dong still doesn't understand, what are these people looking for in COSCO?

Although Yuanfang has developed well in Jiangbei, it may not be as good as the current era. How did Fang's father and son think about it?

Li Dong was a little speechless and a little dizzy.

What's wrong with this, the development of things is a bit beyond his expectation, it is obvious that they are here to buy the era, when will it become someone else who wants to invest in Yuanfang.

Since Fang's father and son have given up the era, it means that they were not prepared to continue to engage in the retail industry before.

Now you suddenly changed your mind and changed your mind. What kind of influence did you receive?

Li Dong was a little puzzled, but Bailian said that they held shares in Yuanfang in order to expand the channels and performance of southern Jiangsu and Jiangbei provinces.

So people are willing to exchange shares, Li Dong can understand.

Where's Fang Keng?

This old man is not a simple person, how could he think of such a thing?

If you don't understand, Li Dong still refuses directly: "Sorry, Mr. Fang, I have no plans to let outsiders hold shares in Yuanfang."

"As you said, the era is your father's painstaking effort, and so is the distance. This is like raising a son yourself. Suddenly there is an adoptive father. I am afraid that my son will not be used to it, and I will not be used to it either."

The corner of Fang Rende's mouth twitched, and Sun Tao couldn't hold back his laughter.

After a while, Fang Rende said regretfully: "Mr. Li, don't you think about it? 1 billion working capital must be a lot of money for the current Yuanfang. With this 1 billion funds, Mr. Li can lead Yuanfang to go. farther.

And I can assure you that neither Zhaofeng Group nor our Fang family will interfere with Mr. Li's leadership over Yuanfang.

What was the distance before, what will it be like afterward.

Mr. Li doesn't need to worry at all, we can even sign an agreement..."

It's fine if he doesn't say anything, but Li Dong won't agree if he says it.

This condition is not bad, but so good that Li Dong even wonders if they have taken a fancy to him.

Investing 1 billion yuan, neither participating in company management, nor demanding that you set up a board of directors, it's just for nostalgia, who are you confused?

No matter how rich the Fang family is, 1 billion is not a small amount. Li Dong didn't believe that they were rich enough to play with 1 billion.

After Fang Rende finished speaking, Li Dong faked a smile and said, "Mr. Fang, I've made up my mind. I'm really sorry."

After saying this, Li Dong asked again: "If I don't agree to this proposal, will Mr. Fang still sell the shares of Times?"

Fang Rende was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Of course, it's not for an entrepreneur to go back on what was agreed before. If Mr. Li is willing, we can sign a contract at any time..."

Speaking of which, Fang Rende said with some regret: "Li Dong really doesn't consider my suggestion?"

Li Dong shook his head, he didn't even bother to say no.

Fang Rende was a little uninterested, and finally said: "Well, let's sign the agreement at Tonghai Hotel tomorrow morning. The previous conditions will remain the same. How does Mr. Li feel?"

"Can."
