Chapter 802: Old Du's Black Hand

Back in the small courtyard, Li Dong looked a little tired.

Over the past few years, Yuanfang has developed fairly smoothly. Although there were difficulties in the middle, they have overcome them.

However, now, Yuanfang is getting bigger and bigger, and encountering more and more difficulties.

Being targeted by China Resources this time, even if there is no Chen Lang incident, it will be a matter of time.

Should I keep going?

The Internet industry has always been a work of its own, and it seems that it is not impossible to make some appropriate concessions?

But 200 million US dollars, which is far from what I expected.

If you want to raise tens of billions for development, you have to give up about half of the equity.

And currently only IDG has given this price, and other VCs have offered lower prices.

Leaning back on the chair, Li Dong closed his eyes and began to think.

In a daze, Li Dong heard the phone ringing, but at this moment he was really in no mood to answer it.

...

When Li Dong woke up, Shen Qian was playing with two children in the yard.

Seeing Li Dong woke up, Shen Qian smiled and said, "How are you resting?"

"Okay, when did you come?"

"I've been here for a while, but I didn't wake you up when I saw you were asleep."

Shen Qian said with a smile, "Still worried about money?"

Li Dong stretched his waist, rubbed the head of Xiao Shitou next to him, yawned and said, "The richer you are, the less money you have. Now I understand this truth. When I was penniless, I thought I could have 10 Pay me a down payment of 10,000 yuan, and I will be satisfied.

But now that my net worth exceeds tens of billions, I feel more and more poor.

In China, I can be regarded as one of the richest people in the country, but life is so difficult, hey, I am embarrassing myself. "

Shen Qian smiled and didn't answer the call, but changed the subject and said, "Your cell phone rang when I came, and I saw that you were asleep, so I answered it for you."

Li Dong didn't care, and said casually, "Who is calling?"

"you guess?"

Li Dong said helplessly, "It's not Yuhan, is it?"

Shen Qian rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "No, but I guess you won't be able to guess."

"If that's the case, then you're still keeping me close."

Shen Qian smiled and said, "Then I'll tell you directly, it's Senior Brother Yuan's call."

Li Dong's face was dark, it was just a call from Yuan Chengdao, but he thought it was someone's call.

Shen Qian was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Brother Yuan is here to report good news to you, do you want to hear it?"

"Good news, I think it's almost bad news. Is there another agency that has quoted again?"

"Yo, it's pretty amazing, you guessed it all." Shen Qian laughed exaggeratedly, nodded and said, "It is true that there is an organization offering, but I think you should be a little interested in this one."

"Is it Softbank?"

"It's not VC, it's Baidu."

Li Dong woke up immediately, and hurriedly said, "You mean Baidu?"

"Well, Baidu contacted us, hoping to talk about it."

Shen Qian laughed and said: "You have a good relationship with Baidu, you bought a lot of their stocks before the listing, and now you have obtained high returns.

Now that Baidu has taken a fancy to our mall again, maybe this time our hope is on Baidu.

And Baidu is no better than these VCs. Once Baidu invests in us, the effect of the joint efforts of the two parties will definitely be stronger than our own development.

I think Baidu also wants to expand its business. Unfortunately, neither Tencent nor Ali will accept their investment. Only we are their hope.

Baidu wants to expand its business, we also want to expand our business, and raise funds by the way..."

Li Dong didn't pay attention to what she said at this time. Among the three BAT companies, he has business overlap with Tencent and Ali.

The two parties are competitors, let alone whether the other party will invest in him, even if they will, Li Dong will not agree.

But Baidu is different, Yuanfang has no business overlap with the other party.

At this time, Baidu also wanted to expand its channels. In fact, Yuanfang has always had this idea.

But it wasn't there before.

If the two sides can cooperate, there should indeed be no small effect.

But Li Dong still asked: "What did they say, and how much is the price?"

"The overall business of the mall is packaged. Except for logistics, they invested 500 million US dollars, accounting for 20% of the shares."

"The whole package..."

Li Dong pondered for a moment, that is to say, including the mall, PP, Weibo, and Vancard. According to the previous highest quotation, IDG offered 1.8 billion US dollars.

If IDG invests 500 million US dollars and reorganizes, the valuation will reach 2.3 billion US dollars. IDG will definitely need less than 20% of the shares, but it should be about the same.

But one thing is different, that is, Baidu can provide other help for Yuanfang.

If Baidu is willing to attract traffic for the business here in the distance, the effect will be great, and these cannot be represented by money alone.

$500 million...

Li Dong showed hesitation, and the same sentence, the price is not low at present, but it is not high either.

But with this 500 million US dollars, that is, I have more than 4 billion more liquidity in my hands, and the urgent need can be solved.

Do you want to agree?

After thinking for a while, Li Dongdao: "Call Yuan Chengdao, and we can continue the discussion with Baidu. If, if you can control the shareholding to about 10%, I will agree."

Shen Qian couldn't help but rolled her eyes, 10%?

Cutting off half of it at once, it would be strange if the other party would agree. Isn't this clearly a rejection?

Seeing her expression, Li Dong shook his head and said: "You don't understand, Li Yanhong is a smart person, if others don't understand, he will understand.

How much business does Yuanfang Mall have?

It's not just a mall, what he wants is an overall package, and the influence is completely different.

For a single business, we have not been able to be number one.

But for the overall business, our mall plus PP and Weibo have more than 100 million users.

Over 100 million users are two completely different concepts. Even if we continue to discuss with IDG, if I am willing to raise funds as a whole, the value will exceed 3 billion US dollars.

The previous quotation of 1.8 billion was just a trial.

On Baidu's side, our valuation will only be higher.

It is not only us who benefit from the cooperation with the other party in the distance, they also need our business support. "

"Well, although I don't think it will succeed, let's try it, maybe Li Yanhong is willing to be stupid."

Li Dong said speechlessly: "What does it mean to be stupid? Does it mean to understand? Believe it or not, if I am willing to let Ali and Tencent enter, the price will only be higher."

"In that case, all our core business secrets will be leaked." Shen Qian sneered and said, "Even if you can get more than 500 million U.S. dollars, we will become a leaky wall in the distance, and the final result is that we are finished. It’s equivalent to paying for our trade secrets.”

"Nonsense, that's why I don't think about them, I just said it casually."

"..."

The two chatted for a while, and Shen Qian said again: "Don't you think about the supermarket? In fact, supermarket financing is more convenient. Our current difficulty lies in the supermarket. Even if the mall raises money, it depends on the investment institution. Willing to let us embezzle it.

Once their supervision is stricter, even if we have money, we can only stare blankly.

Although there is no other way, there are illegal operations after all, and it will be difficult to explain to the outside world at that time. "

Li Dong breathed out and said, "You mean the Jiangbei SASAC, right? I have considered them, but the SASAC won't offer too high a price, and these people are very long-staffed, and they like to get involved in everything.

Once they are allowed to enter the distance, the subsequent troubles will not be small.

Unless they are willing to only pay money and not participate in any management, but do you think it is possible? "

"Why is it impossible?"

Shen Qian smiled and said: "I think there is still a possibility, how do you know if you haven't tried it. The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission is not stupid, they know who the reason why Yuanfang came to the present, and interfering in Yuanfang's business is harmful to them. What good?"

"That's true, then let Yuan Chengdao get in touch and talk about it."

Li Dong doesn't care so much now, as long as the other party doesn't interfere with his business, let the SASAC enter.

After saying this, Li Dong said again: "There is also the land in the western urban area, find an opportunity to sell it, or ask the government to exchange a few pieces of land, and sell some while the current price is high.

In addition, the loan promised by the logistics park should be completed as soon as possible.

I still have too many scruples. If I don’t take out a loan, others won’t know that I’m short of money?

Take out loans when you can. As long as you have money on hand, I don't care what others say.

Well, in addition, the side of Yuanfang Square is also mortgaged. As long as we overcome this difficulty and defeat Suguo, we will have a smooth road ahead in the future! "

Speaking of which, Li Dong breathed out again: "I will talk to Governor Qin next, and ask the government to give us some support.

If we defeat Suguo, we will become the retail leader in East China, isn't it good for the government?

If we really lose, it will be hard for Jiangbei.

At this time, they were still thinking of using the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to control me. I suspect it was your father's idea. Don't let me know that Lao Du did it, or I will have to take revenge later. "

At this moment, Li Dong has also figured out a lot of things, especially the Jiangbei government's support for him is too little.

This should not be done at all!

Yuanfang is the largest private group in the country. Now it is expanding abroad. When it encounters difficulties, the government doesn't care about it?

Contacting the attitude of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Li Dong knew that they were still persecuting him.

Qin Hanyuan may not be able to do this, but Du Anmin is the most likely one.

Lao Du probably didn't want to suppress himself. Maybe in his opinion, if he let the SASAC enter, the distance would be more stable.

After all, the support of a local government is much better than Li Dong going it alone.

But Li Dongjing thanked Bumin for Lao Du's kindness.

The old man only thinks about stability. If Li Dong is only satisfied with the current situation, then stability will be stable, and a company worth tens of billions will be enough.

But Li Dong wants to go higher and farther, so he can't be subject to too much restraint and resistance at present.

Hearing Li Dong said that he wanted revenge, Shen Qian immediately said with a straight face: "How do you want to take revenge?"

Li Dong snorted and said, "What can I get revenge on the old man? Of course it is his daughter. If the old man doesn't want his daughter to suffer in the future, he has to stand up and help me at this time."

"Pfft!"

Shen Qian couldn't help laughing, and it took her a long time to pant and say, "Come on, I won't suffer. But it's right to ask the Jiangbei government to help us. How about this? Why don't you talk to my dad first at night, Go back and talk to Governor Qin?"

"Go to your home?"

"Um."

"this……"

Li Dong was really a little apprehensive, but as soon as he thought of Lao Du making a fool of himself, Li Dong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll go tonight!"

If it wasn't for Lao Du's attack this time, Li Dong wouldn't believe that Qin Hanyuan didn't care.

That being the case, if you want to get help from the provincial government, it depends on Lao Du's attitude in the end.

It didn't make sense that my backer turned into a hindrance in the end. The old man was still too conservative in his thinking, so he had to enlighten him.

With a multi-pronged approach, Li Dong felt that it should not be a big problem for him to overcome this difficulty.

Maybe there will be some spare money in the end, and when he develops real estate at the end of the year, he will even be able to handle the second half of the year.
