Chapter 762 Shareholding Reduction (2 in 1 Chapter)
I found a familiar restaurant and ordered a few simple dishes.
As soon as he sat down, Li Dong said: "Let's make arrangements later, the company cafeteria will be opened.
Now it's not like before, the Yuanfang Group is also considered the leading large group, and it doesn't even have an internal canteen, which makes people laugh. "
Sun Tao nodded and said: "I've wanted to talk about this for a long time, but there were too many other things before, so I didn't take care of it for a while.
But Mr. Li can rest assured that the company has meal subsidies. Although there is no canteen, everyone doesn't care too much. "
"That is to say, what should be done should be done properly, and it is related to the company's image."
Although this matter is not under Sun Tao's control, Sun Tao still nodded and said: "Then I will arrange it when I go back."
The matter in the cafeteria was just a trivial matter, Li Dong simply mentioned it and did not continue this topic.
After the waiters finished serving the dishes one after another, Li Dong stood up and poured a glass of cold beer for Sun Tao, and said with a smile, "It's hot, let's drink some beer at noon."
Sun Tao wasn't overly flattered either. He and Li Dong had known each other for more than three years, and they used to have a relationship when they squatted under the eaves to eat boxed lunches.
After clinking glasses, the cold beer poured into their stomachs, and both of them showed a sense of satisfaction.
After taking a few sips, Li Dong said, "Are you still used to it recently?"
Now that Sun Tao has been transferred back to Jiangbei to take charge of the entire supermarket operation, he has much more power than when he was in Southern Jiangsu.
"It's okay, but I can't keep up with the rhythm."
Sun Tao laughed and said with emotion: "Yuanfang has developed too fast, and after leaving Jiangbei for a year, I feel that everything has changed.
I remember that when I left last year, there were less than 100 supermarket stores, and now there are nearly 500 stores including those under construction.
Among other things, Guangguang has become familiar with the management these days, and he hasn't had time to get busy with business yet. "
"Let's sort out the personnel issues first. Once the personnel issues are resolved, other issues will be easy to deal with. Take your time, don't worry." Li Dong drank the beer in his glass as he spoke.
Seeing this, Sun Tao helped Man Shang, and said, "Mr. Li, I heard that you and Mr. Yuan discussed continuing to expand the size of the supermarket, right?"
"I have this idea."
Li Dong didn't hide it either. Sun Tao is the general manager of the supermarket, and he should be consulted on this matter.
While talking, Li Dong explained: "Now Yuanfang supermarket stores are distributed in Jiangbei, Southern Jiangsu, Shandong Province, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces, Jiangxi Province, Hubei Province, Shancheng, Beijing and Tianjin.
However, we have not won the two adjacent cities of Yu Province and Shanghai, which caused the overall layout to be uncoordinated.
What I mean is, take Yu Province and Shanghai first.
It's not difficult here in Yu Province. There were many branches here in the previous era, and it's just a matter of continuing to expand.
In addition to being adjacent to Jiangbei, the influence of the headquarters can be radiated.
On the contrary, there are some troubles in Shanghai. As the domestic economic center, the investment may not be low.
My goals for the second half of this year are these two places. After this year, my goals for next year are the five places of southern Fujian, Guangdong Province, Shonan Province, Yi Province, and Jin Province.
Once the layout is completed next year, once 2008 is over, all the economically developed regions in China will be included in Yuanfang! "
While Li Dong was speaking, Sun Tao had already sketched a map of China in his mind.
If Li Dong's idea is really followed, after next year, almost all the eastern and southern parts of Huaxia will be taken down.
The eastern and southern parts of China, together with the Beijing-Tianjin region, accounted for almost 80% of the country's total economy and population. At this time, although the Northeast and the West were still left, the national layout could actually be considered complete.
After pondering for a moment, Sun Tao hesitated and said, "Is it too fast?"
Since the end of last year, Yuanfang Supermarket has continued to expand.
In just over half a year, Yuanfang Supermarket has almost tripled in size.
If it continues to expand now, whether it is human or financial resources, it will be overwhelmed.
Yu province is fine, but Sun Tao is mainly worried about Shanghai.
Once Shanghai also expands, in just half a year, Yuanfang has made all the layout of the four major municipalities.
Although the municipalities directly under the central government are not as big as the province, they can operate in these places,
In fact, the investment is larger than the province.
Looking at Beijing and Tianjin, you can see that the total investment of Yuanfang has exceeded 2.5 billion in the expansion of these two places.
However, Shanghai is actually a little more difficult to enter than Beijing and Tianjin. I am afraid that the investment is not less than that of Beijing and Tianjin. Coupled with the simultaneous expansion of Henan Province, this will cost billions of dollars.
Li Dong nodded and said: "It's a bit fast, but time doesn't wait. When we were in Dongping, did you think that we would have today? At that time, the Dongping store had just opened, let alone the entire Jiangbei, and we didn't have stores all over Qingyang." thought about it.
But everything is done. When we had nothing at the beginning, we also won Qingyang in less than half a year.
Now that we have this capital, have we become less courageous? "
Sun Tao shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm timid, it's that I'm more cautious than before. I had nothing before, so we dare to fight.
To be honest, now that the company is so big, I really didn't dare to fight before. "
After finishing speaking, Sun Tao said again: "But if you want to do it, I still support it. As an international economic metropolis, Shanghai, if we can really enter and gain a firm foothold, our influence will even be greater than the layout in Beijing and Tianjin.
I'm just worried about money and manpower..."
"I'm not too worried about the funds." Li Dong smiled and said, "After selling Dongyu's land, our total revenue will be nearly 7 billion."
"Sichuan Airlines spent 2.5 billion, and Beijing and Tianjin invested 1 billion in the early stage. The rest should be supported by store profits until completion, and there is no need to spend money on the account.
For the logistics park, the first phase is said to require an investment of more than 2 billion yuan. In fact, the construction period is not so fast. It is enough to prepare about 1 billion yuan by the end of the year.
For sporadic expansion expenses elsewhere, 500 million yuan should be enough.
Calculated, we still have nearly 2 billion yuan left. This money will be used to deploy Shanghai and Henan provinces, even if there is a shortage, there will not be much shortage. "
"What about the mall and logistics?"
Li Dong breathed out and said: "If there is no big move on both sides, the current profit can almost be maintained. If there is a big move...
Let's take a loan, anyway, we are not in high debt now. "
Sun Tao nodded, the financial problem is indeed not too compact.
Seeing this, Li Dong continued: "Actually, what I'm worried about is the manpower problem. The current expansion of the region has actually emptied our talent pool. A large number of new employees and new executives have joined the job, and many people I don't even know.
Now continue, I am afraid of trouble. "
The management is all newcomers, even if they were recruited by executives from other companies before, they have not been tested and cooperated after all.
In the long run, the management system will definitely go wrong.
The development of Yuanfang is too fast, and the elites who can sit in one side are not Chinese cabbage, so there are so many executives waiting for you to dig.
Now in the distance, almost one person is worth three people.
There is no replacement talent echelon at the back. Once there is a situation of executive resignation, it is okay to have fewer people. Once there is a large-scale resignation, it may affect the entire distance.
This kind of possibility is not impossible, with so many opponents staring at them, Li Dong poached their people, wouldn't they poach Li Dong's people?
They don't really care too much about poaching executives from other companies. These companies have been established for a long time, and there are many people waiting to take over.
It’s not good in the distance. If all the management in a certain area leave, the whole system will collapse.
In comparison, if this happens, Li Dong must suffer heavy losses.
He can see it, and others can naturally see it. In order to suppress Li Dong, he just spent more money. If he ruins Yuan Fang, he will benefit more.
Hearing what Li Dong said, Sun Tao frowned slightly and said: "This is a difficult problem. After all, we have been established for too short a time. We only started to reserve talents in 2006. In just one year, these people are not of great use. The problem of always worrying cannot be avoided.”
Li Dong drank another glass of wine and sighed: "So it is precisely because of this problem that Yuan always firmly opposes it. In fact, I know there are reasons for his opposition, but if he follows his plan, it will take 10 years to complete what I just said It will take about 12 years for those plans to fully complete the national layout.
Five years is not long, but it is not short. Who knows what will happen after five years. "
Li Dong has a headache for this, and Sun Tao has no good solution.
The shortage of talents is nothing more than a few methods, such as self-cultivation, going out to dig people, social recruitment...
It takes time to cultivate by yourself, and Yuanfang is doing it now.
Poaching people is also the current mainstream in Yuanfang, but Li Dong himself said that the management is all poached people, and if this continues, trouble will happen sooner or later.
And social recruitment, in fact, is not much different from poaching people, they are all newcomers.
The best way is to cultivate it yourself. The key is that Li Dong wants to develop rapidly, and Yuanfang, which has just been established for three years, is really unable to cultivate it.
Neither of them had a good idea, and finally Li Dong shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, just drive the ducks to the shelves! Try to promote some old employees, such as city managers and store managers. These middle and low-level management are all old people. Even if there is a problem at the top, The stability of the middle and lower levels is not that big of a problem.”
"It's just a bit too risky." Sun Tao agreed with the promotion of the old man.
However, in this way, there is still a potential crisis.
"No way, let's just come."
Usually Li Dong didn't bother to tell people about these troublesome things, and it was only on Sun Tao's side that Li Dong told the truth.
The two drank a few more glasses, and seeing that Sun Taoguang had heard what he had said, Li Dong smiled and asked, "Does Brother Sun have something to say?"
If nothing happened, Sun Tao would usually not ask Li Dong to go out for dinner together.
Since he shouted, there must be something wrong.
When Li Dong asked, Sun Tao didn't hide anything, nodded and said, "It's just a few small things, I want to ask your opinion."
"What's up?"
"After finishing the work at hand, I want to go to Aoki University to study EMBA courses for two years."
Hearing this, Li Dong smiled and said: "It's not a big problem, we just need to add some theoretical knowledge. The company will reimburse the travel expenses and tuition fees. If you sign up and tell me, you won't be arranged to work overtime."
Sun Tao was a little embarrassed to hear him say that, but it wasn't about money.
But now the company is short of people, and the two of them talked about this problem just now.
As a result, he, the top leader in charge of the supermarket business, had to go to school, even if it was an on-the-job class, he would spend at least five or six days going back and forth every month.
He is already busy, but he still doesn't work overtime. It would be unpleasant if it was left on others.
But Sun Tao also had no choice. He said that he was a little bit behind the situation, it was not a lie.
As Yuanfang grows bigger, especially when he is transferred back to take charge of the supermarket, Sun Tao is really under a lot of pressure.
After much deliberation, Sun Tao felt that he should fill himself up a bit, otherwise he would really not be able to hold on if he went on like this.
If this matter is normal, it is really not a big deal to just take a management class, but now it is not a good time.
Seeing his expression, Li Dong knew what he was thinking, smiled and said: "Don't feel embarrassed, seeking knowledge is a good thing. It must be a bit of a delay, but only after learning the knowledge can it play a greater role. Now I can barely hold on , When it’s really hard to do what you want, it’s too late to learn.”
Sun Tao breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "President Li, don't worry, I won't delay the company's affairs."
"Don't push yourself too hard, give yourself some time." Li Dong said jokingly: "Another major personal matter has to be resolved, and I'm almost on my way. You don't like the people in the company. There are all kinds of women around, so if you see something right, settle down as soon as possible.
If the older ones don't like it, girls from Aoki University are also fine. Old handsome guys like you are the easiest to please girls. "
Sun Tao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Stop it first, I'll do my best, so don't rush me. My parents are also urging me so hard now that I don't dare to go home."
"You asked for it yourself. You seem to be 37, right? Their children are all in junior high school."
Sun Tao said a little depressed: "Mr. Li, why do you speak like my parents? A man with forty-one flowers..."
"Come on, don't disgust me. Give me a flower, and wait until you are forty."
Li Dong laughed and joked a few words, but didn't say much.
As for other people's marriage affairs, as a leader, it is enough to care a little bit.
If he really wanted to talk too much, he himself was impatient.
In the entire company, there are not many people who can make Li Dong care about his private life, and his feelings for these veterans who have followed the distance step by step have always been different.
Guys like Yuan Chengdao are in their thirties, and Li Dong never cared about his marriage.
That guy was so arrogant, Li Dong didn't bother to mention this.
After talking about studying, Sun Tao said again: "There is another thing I want to talk to you about."
"What?"
"It's about the shares."
Seeing Li Dong frowned, Sun Tao said helplessly: "This matter has been on my mind for a while, and we agreed at the beginning that I would take 5% of the supermarket's shares.
At first, I didn't think anything was wrong.
But then the supermarket expanded so fast, you continued to inject capital into it, and you didn't reduce your shareholding in my hand.
According to the dividend deduction you mentioned, I calculated it, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get dividends in the next ten years.
This is still the present. You just said that you will continue to expand. According to the profit of the supermarket, it will definitely not be able to meet the expansion needs, and you have to continue to inject capital.
If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to get dividends in my life. "
Speaking of which, Sun Tao said distressedly: "Speaking of which, my net worth should be more than five or six hundred million, but I just get a little salary every year, and my life is too miserable, doesn't it fit my net worth at all?
After much deliberation, I think it is better to take the dividend.
5% of the shares, it doesn't make much difference to me to have more or less, the money you get is the money, right?
so……"
Li Dong knew that he said these words not because he disliked the lack of money, but because he felt that these shares were a bit hot now.
The 5% stake in the supermarket was less than 200 million when it was distributed to Sun Tao.
But now, after several expansions, there are nearly 500 stores, and the total assets of the supermarket alone are definitely more than 10 billion.
In fact, it might be more than 10 billion, and Li Dong didn't think much about it.
However, when the group was first established, the supermarket's net assets were as much as 3.6 billion.
Later, it expanded by more than three times, and now it is 12 billion. Li Dong will expand in the future. If he really follows his plan, the total value of the supermarket in 2008 will definitely exceed 20 billion.
In other words, by next year, Sun Tao's total assets will exceed 1 billion.
Once Yuanfang goes public one day, the money may have to be doubled.
Holding hundreds of millions is not so hot, but holding billions is really hot.
Money is something that everyone likes. It is best to get money without doing work.
But it also depends on how much money it is. For more than a year, Sun Tao feels that his contribution to Yuanfang has not been that great, and it is entirely due to Li Dong that his net worth has doubled.
Li Dong definitely has affection.
But if you continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, no matter how great your affection is, it will be diluted by money. When that day comes, will the 5% of the shares really be as important as imagined?
Li Dong tapped on the table lightly, picked up the glass and drank another glass of wine, and said after a while: "5% of the shares is actually not much. I gave you two choices at the beginning, if it weren't for the 3% of the group's shares , if it weren't for the 8% stake in the supermarket.
You suffered a loss at that time, and now you have to continue to reduce your holdings. What do outsiders think of me, Li Dong? "
Sun Tao hurriedly said: "I will explain to the outside world."
Li Dong glanced at him, pondered for a moment and said, "How much do you want to reduce your holdings?"
"It's enough to keep 3%."
3%, which seems to be only 2% less, is actually hundreds of millions of RMB.
I have to say that sometimes Li Dong couldn't help admiring Sun Tao in his heart. This guy has a heart beyond the reach of ordinary people, and he can afford it and let it go.
Hundreds of millions of RMB, how many billionaires can there be at this time?
When Sun Tao said to give up, he gave up. Few people can do so calmly.
Breathing out lightly, Li Dong said again: "Then the supermarket will continue to expand next year and the next year, so don't you want to continue reducing your holdings?"
Sun Tao hesitated for a moment, finally nodded and said: "My psychological bottom line is 1%, I think this money is enough for me to spend my whole life."
Li Dong said with a wry smile: "I've only seen people hugging money home, but I haven't seen a few people pushing money away."
Sun Tao said with a smile: "Is contented people always happy? Even if it is 1%, if Yuanfang Supermarket can reach a scale of 100 billion, it will be 1 billion. To be a professional manager to become a billionaire, I don't think there are many people in China. one."
"Hundred billion, you dare to think more than I do."
Li Dong laughed, and finally said: "Let's do this, I agree with 3%. But this time, I can't unconditionally reduce my shareholding. I spent 100 million to buy back your 2% shares. In fact, I took a lot of money from you." .
From 10% at the beginning to 3% now, I understand your concerns.
But after this shareholding reduction, you don't need to mention it anymore, 3% is the final shareholding ratio.
Even if you expand in the future, these shares will not change. I think 100 million cash should be enough for you to spend ten or eight years.
If you don’t get dividends for ten or eight years, you won’t starve to death. Do you have any objections? "
Sun Tao didn't hesitate any longer, and nodded with a smile, "Then I'll listen to you. With this 100 million, let alone ten or eight years without dividends, I can live without dividends for the rest of my life."
After saying this, the two continued to drink.
Originally, the two of them only planned to drink a little to relieve the heat, but they didn't know whether they were thinking too much or not, so they drank more and more.
When the meal was over, there were wine bottles on and off the table.
Three or four bottles of beer are not intoxicating, but after seven or eight bottles, Li Dong and Sun Tao are a little tipsy.
When he came out of the hotel, Li Dong didn't say anything, he patted Sun Tao on the shoulder, turned around and got into the car.
It wasn't until his car left that Sun Tao turned around and walked towards the company with a sigh.
And in the car, Li Dong was also a little depressed.
The partners who fought together at the beginning are now also afraid of themselves, or start to fear themselves.
Who doesn't like money, and who doesn't want more.
Sun Tao is not a saint, doesn't he like money?
But he still chose to reduce his shareholding. I am afraid that Sun Tao himself has thought about whether there will be a day when Li Dong feels uncomfortable and wants to get these things back.
As the absolute master in the distance, Li Dong wants to get back the money, and there are not too many ways.
How could Sun Tao, who has no big background, not have considered these things at all.
Taking the initiative to reduce the shareholding by yourself will have absolutely different impact from being passive in the future.
After taking the initiative to reduce his shareholding twice, he holds 3% of the supermarket shares and has no influence on Li Dong.
Even if he just missed his old relationship a little bit, Li Dong would no longer have any thoughts about him.
Sometimes taking retreat as an advance is just for self-protection.
The point is that Li Dong really didn't think about these things, but in order to dispel Sun Tao's fear, and for the two sides to start well and end well, Li Dong finally gave him a reassurance.
