Chapter 817 War Bonus
On November 10, Chen Lang returned to Jiangbei.
Although the battle in southern Jiangsu is not over yet, the overall situation is almost settled, and it is not a big problem for him to leave southern Jiangsu at this time.
And when he came back this time, Chen Lang also had important matters to discuss with Li Dong.
...
Provincial Party Committee Compound.
In November, the weather turns cooler and the osmanthus trees in the courtyard begin to shed their flowers.
Chen Lang sat on the stone bench and sipped tea leisurely. It took him a long time to say with a satisfied face, "Good tea!"
Li Dong on the opposite side leaned on the recliner, said with a smile: "I like to take some with me when I leave later. I don't really like drinking tea very much. These tea leaves were given to me by Shen Qian last time."
"The tea delivered by Mr. Shen must not be bad, so I will be disrespectful."
Chen Lang smiled, but did not refuse.
Sometimes it is also a way to get closer to the boss.
In the past, he was Li Dong's senior and Li Dong's opponent, so even if he was just a professional manager, he didn't have to give Li Dong much face.
But it's different now, since he came to a distant place, he had to rely on Li Dong for food.
Especially Li Dong spent 30 million for him.
The 30 million yuan is actually not the main reason. This time, the reason why Ma Jialiang wants to fight Yuanfang also has something to do with his joining Yuanfang.
Although even without his existence, it would be a matter of time before the two families started a war, but his arrival did speed up the time for the war.
Starting a war at this time is actually not good for the distance.
This battle in southern Jiangsu seemed to be won beautifully, but in fact it was extremely difficult.
If it wasn't for Li Dong's hesitant investment, if he hadn't taken down the regular customer Long at the last moment, if it wasn't for Qin Hanyuan's secret help, it's still unclear who will die.
Due to various reasons, he, Chen Lang, is almost destined to die far away in the future.
Li Dong is the only big boss in the distance, so of course he has to get closer.
After chatting a few gossips, Chen Lang changed the subject: "This time I'm back, it's mainly related to China Resources."
Li Dong nodded, he guessed it, after all, there seemed to be nothing else besides this matter at this time.
"Hongji and I communicated on the phone several times, hoping to live in peace with Yuanfang."
"He confessed?"
"Ahem...you can put it that way." Chen Lang couldn't laugh or cry when he was directly messed up by Li Dong.
But it is also true that Hong Ji admits to being cowardly.
China Resources Vanguard doesn't want to continue to fight with Li Dong, especially now that the foreign market is still in a bloody battle, and Hong Ji can't stand it.
If Sunan loses it, just lose it. If this continues, both Yuanfang and China Resources Vanguard will suffer heavy losses.
The scale of Yuanfang is smaller than that of China Resources, so it stands to reason that Hongji is not afraid of confrontation.
But in the distance, Li Dong was a lunatic, a complete lunatic, and this lunatic was a dictator who never considered the consequences of his actions, so Hong Ji was afraid of him.
Li Dong yawned and said with a smile: "What did he say, how much spoils did he give us to receive?"
"Other out-of-town markets remain the same. In southern Jiangsu, Suguo maintains Jinling's market share. In other places, we can do whatever we want."
"hehe!"
Li Dongpi chuckled without a smile, and said with a sneer: "What do you mean we are free? This is the condition they gave? The southern Jiangsu market, now Suguo can't sustain it, and even Jinling is hanging over there. At this time Let Suguo maintain Jinling's market share, I am stupid.
Tell him, it won't work, or I will continue to consume it, and I have to consume Suguo to death in Sunan. "
Chen Lang knew for a long time that Li Dong would definitely say that, so he smiled and said, "I also refused, and I made a condition on my own initiative, I hope the chairman will not be blamed."
"Tell me, what did you tell him?"
"Suguo's stores outside of Jinling, let us choose and acquire hundreds of stores.
In addition, the Maqun distribution center was transferred to us.
Just these two. "
"puff!"
Li Dong took a sip of tea and sprayed it out, and after a while he blushed and said roughly: "I'll go, I will obey you if I refuse to accept anyone! Old senior, are you not afraid that Hongji will fight for you?"
joke,
The hundreds of stores in front are okay.
After all, China Resources is going to give up the market in these places, and it is useless to continue to open the stores, and it is up to everyone to deal with it.
Kemaqun Distribution Center is different!
This is the most important part of Suguo's family fortune, and the Maqun Center is even more famous.
When Li Dong was still in school, a professor from the Department of Economics and Management specifically mentioned the Maqun Distribution Center in class.
And when preparing to build the Jiangbei distribution center, Li Dong has always aimed at the horse distribution center.
This is the core of Suguo's logistics system in East China. Once the Maqun distribution center is gone, Suguo's competitiveness will plummet by more than 30%.
It can be said that if there is no Maqun distribution center, Li Dong can almost easily beat Suguo this time.
Sometimes logistics channels are so important, otherwise retail companies around the world would not build their own logistics channels one after another, and no large supermarket has a distribution center.
The investment in this thing is a bit big, but the importance is even more than the supply chain channel.
Now Chen Lang wants Suguo to cede the Maqun distribution center. If China Resources agrees, then Suguo's competitiveness in East China will almost be lost.
This kind of price is not even more serious than losing the southern Jiangsu market. After all, it takes time, a lot of time, to rebuild the distribution center.
Chen Lang dodged Li Dong's tea attack calmly, and said with a smile: "Chairman, if we get the Maqun distribution center, it will be of great benefit to us.
The size of the Jiangbei distribution center is actually a bit small now, and the distribution centers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can only meet the needs of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces.
With the distribution center on the Maqun side, our distribution in southern Jiangsu, Shandong Province, and Henan Province can almost be satisfied.
The annual distribution volume of the Maqun Distribution Center can reach more than 7 billion. In addition to the Beijing-Tianjin Distribution Center and the Southwest Distribution Center we are planning to build, our supermarket expansion logistics can be satisfied in the future. "
"I know this, but this is Suguo's lifeblood. I'm afraid they won't want to give it to us if they are killed."
"It's Suguo's lifeblood, that's right, but it doesn't mean it's China Resources Vanguard's lifeblood." Chen Lang said with a smile on his face, "Even Suguo's base camp has been given up, what else can't be given up?"
"The distribution center can be rebuilt, and Wanjia also has a distribution center in East China. It used to be two systems with Suguo, and they were not affiliated with each other.
It's different now. After this time, Wanjia will inevitably annex and integrate all of Suguo's resources outside of southern Jiangsu.
At that time, there will be some overlap between Ma Qun's side and Wan's side.
So now we want the Maqun distribution center. Although China Resources is a bit hard to accept, in order to stop this meaningless war of attrition, they will agree. "
Li Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Chen Lang said confidently.
Speaking of understanding Wanjia, who knows as deeply as him?
In addition, he knew Hong Ji clearly, and Hong Ji would agree.
Li Dong tapped on the stone table lightly, and after a while he said, "How much does it cost?"
"Maqun invested no less than 300 million yuan at the beginning, and this was the price a few years ago. Now, whether it is land or other things, the price has risen a lot.
In addition, Suguo has also expanded Ma Qun's investment in the past two years, and the total investment may not be less than 500 million. "
"I can accept 500 million, but the key is, can they agree to 500 million?"
"certain!"
Chen Lang nodded and said, "We are the winners this time. If Wanjia doesn't want to continue the stalemate, they will agree. After all, they didn't lose money on this, it just takes time."
"The hundred stores..."
Speaking of this, Chen Lang said seriously: "Chairman, I think so. Now we have acquired Times, Yongle, and Changkelong in Southern Jiangsu. There are quite a few of these three stores, and the total has exceeded 200. .
But after all, it is the resources of the three companies, and now some stores actually overlap.
What I mean is to slowly integrate the resources of Southern Jiangsu, and eliminate some stores that are too small, have poor performance, and overlap in coverage.
200 stores, we probably maintain around 150 is enough.
In addition, we will take down 100 Suguo stores, 250 stores, enough to cover the entire southern Jiangsu.
At that time, our scale and influence in southern Jiangsu will even exceed that of Suguo now.
We can at least occupy more than 70% of the entire southern Jiangsu market, which is higher than Jiangbei.
Jiangbei and Jiangsu, the two markets are completely taken by us, which is more powerful than covering the entire East China on a large scale.
And the foundation is terrible, with these two places as the rear base camp, we will fight wherever we go, without any worries at all. "
Li Dong nodded and said: "Integrating resources is actually what I want to do, the current stores are too complicated and chaotic.
There was no way to defeat Suguo before.
When China Resources reaches an agreement with us, we must save the chaff.
But if there are hundreds of stores..."
Chen Lang knew what he was worried about, so he smiled and said, "Chairman, don't worry, we are the winners, and we won't spend too much money. In addition, integrating resources and removing 50 stores can also save us a lot of expenses.
In fact, we will not invest too much in 100 stores, not more than 500 million.
Including the Maqun distribution center, 1 billion is more than enough.
After the integration is completed, without Suguo's troubles, with the scale of our more than 200 stores and market share, the monthly profit of Sunan alone can exceed 100 million.
The money will come back in a year at most, and it won't even take that long.
And our total investment in southern Jiangsu is about 7 billion, which means we can recover the cost within 6 years.
In addition, among these assets, there are more than half of the fixed assets, which actually pay back faster. "
It takes 6 years to recover the cost, which is actually frighteningly fast.
Even for the development of commercial real estate, at the current rate of payment, it is generally about 10 years.
Of course, this is also related to Yuanfang's monopoly on the southern Jiangsu market, otherwise the speed would not be so fast.
In southern Jiangsu alone, the annual profit exceeds 1 billion, and even 1.2 billion. In addition to Jiangbei, the profits of both sides can exceed 2 billion in a year.
Other provinces such as Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Hubei are also operating profitably, and the Beijing-Tianjin market that is about to be put into operation, together, the annual profit of these places will not be too low.
Rough calculations show that according to the current scale, the supermarket can bring itself 4 billion to 5 billion in revenue a year, which is a remarkable achievement.
Previously, Yuanfang Supermarket’s assets were around 16 billion. Later, he acquired Changkelong, Yong’an, and the Maqun Distribution Center and Suguo Baijia stores that may soon be taken over. These investments amounted to almost 4 billion.
There are also continuous investments in places such as Beijing, Tianjin, Shancheng, and Henan Province. After all the calculations, Li Dong's investment in Yuanfang Supermarket may exceed 22 billion.
And if the payment goes well, it should be able to earn it back in 5 years. I have to say that sometimes the bigger the company is, the more money it will be like snowflakes.
Without external support, doubling the scale in five years is not too slow for a group with tens of billions of assets.
Of course, it cannot be compared with Internet companies.
It doesn't make much sense for people to go up dozens or hundreds of times as soon as they go public, at least Yuanfang Supermarket is genuine.
With these thoughts in mind, Li Dong nodded and said: "Then you and China Resources continue to talk, as long as they agree, we will start to integrate resources.
Another issue is money. Although there are still 5 billion in the group's books, I don't want to use it for the time being.
Anyway, China Resources is rich, you ask them to give them a grace period of one year, and I will give it to them next year or the next..."
The corner of Chen Lang's mouth twitched. Isn't this too shameless?
If China Resources has money, it is also other people's own money.
It's too much for you to take advantage of it now, but still want to continue to take advantage of it.
Chen Lang felt that he was too much, but he didn't expect Li Dong to be thicker than him.
Seeing his expression, Li Dong coughed dryly and said, "Anyway, you should try it first, and then talk about it if it doesn't work. Besides, Hong Ji is timid. If you threaten him with a few words, just say that you need money now, and I will use the 1 billion to continue with him." Get down..."
"Ahem..."
Chen Lang couldn't take it anymore, coughed for a while before forcing a smile and said, "Well, I'll try, but if it doesn't work..."
"If it doesn't work, forget it."
Li Dong sighed and said: "I can't help it, otherwise I wouldn't do this kind of thing.
A penny can't beat a hero. I'm so short of money now, half of the tens of billions raised in financing have gone away in a hurry.
This is still not counting the investment of regular customers Long, Yongan and this time, if it is included, it is almost gone.
Over the past year, I have tried to raise money, which is not a small amount, 30 billion is not, 20 billion is a certainty.
In the end, it was still not enough to spend. I spent tens of billions a year. It is really difficult for me now, and my seniors have to understand me. "
Chen Lang didn't despise him. After Li Dong finished speaking, Chen Lang really admired him and said, "Chairman, just focus on this. There are few people I know who can compare to you."
These words are not adulterated. How much was Yuanfang's total assets last year?
Such a small-scale Yuanfang Group, in the hands of Li Dong, doubled and doubled its wealth within a year.
Li Dong collected tens of billions of cash flow for Yuanfang's development, although most of them were loans, and the loans may be tens of billions, which is also a skill.
Try another person with a loan of tens of billions, not to mention that the total assets of Yuanfang Group were less than ten billions last year.
