Chapter Eight Hundred and Seventieth Coming to an End
Faraway Building.
"Ah Choo!"
Li Dong rubbed his nose and muttered, "Who said anything bad about me?"
Shen Qian, who was sitting across from him, laughed and said: "What old superstition, it must be a cold. I will ask Chen Ke to make some ginger soup later, and you can drink some.
Also, wear more clothes recently, don't just think about being handsome. "
Li Dong said with a speechless face: "Whoever is being handsome, someone really said something bad about me. Forget it, just say it, anyway, I'm used to it."
Li Dong didn't bother with this matter anymore, as for the suspicion of Longhua's shareholders, he didn't expect it either.
Why did such a kind person like him become the legendary conspirator and big devil? God knows what is going on.
Putting this topic aside, Shen Qian asked again: "Has Shao Yibo been in touch?"
Before Du Anmin left, he said that Shen Qian couldn't stay far away for long.
As Yuanfang takes the step of national expansion, and as Du Anmin enters Beijing, both Li Dong and Du Anmin are the objects of public attention.
At this time, it would be inappropriate for Shen Qian to stay far away, and she could easily become a target.
As for Shao Yibo, Li Dong had been preparing to recruit him before.
Hearing Shen Qian's question, Li Dong curled his lips and said, "I got in touch. A broker in the capital helped me get connected."
"How about it?"
"It's okay. Boss Shao is rich and powerful, so he doesn't like our small shop. Recently, he is busy with the investment and construction of Jingwei China, saying that he is grateful for my love.
Anyway, Boss Shao is not coming. "
Shen Qian was not too surprised, but sighed: "If you don't come, don't come, it seems that you can only re-examine the candidates later. I will stick to it for a while, and the mall is also busy during this time."
"Shao Yibo didn't come, but this guy introduced me to someone."
"who?"
"Tan Haiying."
Li Dong said with a smile: "At the beginning, this guy sold eBay directly and didn't care about the life and death of these partners, but now he thinks of them.
In August 2007, eBay has been doing poorly since its return.
Tan Haiying couldn't stay on eBay any longer, so she went to Germany to get married and have children.
Fortunately, Shao Yibo himself didn't want to come, but he introduced Tan Haiying to me, as if I wanted anyone from far away. "
Shen Qian could hear the resentment in his words, and said with relief: "Don't say such hurtful words, to be honest, Tan Haiying's abilities are pretty good.
She was also an influential figure in the Internet industry back then. She was less than 30 years old when she became the CEO of eBay. Those years were also the time when eBay developed the fastest.
Moreover, Tan Haiying did a good job at McKinsey before. If you want me to say, you can give it a try. "
Li Dong sighed: "I know all this, but the Internet industry is changing with each passing day. It has been more than two years since Tan Haiying left this industry, can he still keep up with the pace when he comes out now?"
"Shao Yibo has been a house husband for several years, and he is doing well now.
Don't underestimate these senior characters, they were able to make waves back then, and they all have their unique styles and skills.
Tan Haiying had been in charge of eBay for a period of time after Shao Yibo left. If it hadn't been for the eBay people who opposed her opinion, eBay would not have fallen to this point. "
Li Dong tapped the table lightly, and said after a while: "You can try it, but you can't pin your hopes on them.
The real confidence of Yuanfang Mall is the mall itself. A good president is just an assistant.
Anyway, give it a try.
In addition to Tan Haiying, some executives will be recruited from other e-commerce companies.
Even if they come, at most they will only take over the position of the president of your business department. As for the chairman of Yuanfang Technology, let's leave it vacant for a while. It is really impossible for Liu Hong to take over. "
Shen Qian didn't object this time. To be honest, the others were latecomers after all.
Let these people directly take over the entire Yuanfang Technology, not to mention whether they have this ability, even if they have it, it depends on whether it will damage the morale of others.
It is said that foreign monks are good at chanting sutras, but just because these people had glory in the past, they should not be allowed to overwhelm veterans like Liu Hong.
And to be honest, with the development of Yuanfang Technology up to now, everyone has experienced big scenes again and again.
At this time, will Liu Hong and the others be convinced by these outdated veterans?
Whether it will work or not, you have to do a few beautiful things with real knives and guns, otherwise, no matter how much you say, you are bragging.
After discussing these matters, Li Dong thought for a while and said, "Are you going back to the capital this year for the Chinese New Year?"
"Um."
Shen Qian nodded and said, "I haven't seen my parents for a while, I'll go back and see them during the Chinese New Year."
"That……"
Li Dong wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't continue. He exhaled and said, "I'll see if I have time then, and I will take time to visit Uncle Du and Auntie at the beginning of the new year."
Shen Qian didn't say a word, and the office fell into silence.
...
On January 25th, there was heavy snow for half a month.
For half a month, the snow never stopped.
Down to the streets, up to the ministries and commissions of the central government, all are in a hurry at this time.
On the morning of the 25th, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Transportation and Sales of Fresh Agricultural Products" and launched a temporary emergency procedure.
The general office dispatched inspection teams to 22 provinces and municipalities to conduct supervision and inspection of market supply, market supervision and market price stabilization in various regions.
A series of policies and notices were issued to all provinces and cities, finally stabilizing the chaotic market environment.
However, some things cannot be resolved by issuing a few notices.
Roads were blocked by heavy snow, and a large number of daily necessities could not be transported to the severely affected areas.
In some areas, temporary control measures have even been initiated, and some residents have even begun to implement a rationing system for drinking water and food.
Since the farewell to the era of big pot rice, this kind of thing has rarely happened.
As soon as the rationing system came out, many families in the disaster-stricken area were in chaos. It is not an exaggeration to say that people are panicking at the moment.
At this time, many people thought of Yuanfang, Yuanfang Mall, and Wanjia.com.
With the mentality of giving it a try, many people in areas with severe snow disasters have placed orders online.
The result was beyond everyone's expectations. When other e-commerce companies closed channels in these areas one after another, and when the government restricted supply, Yuanfang actually delivered the goods!
Looking at the distant couriers wrapped in heavy snow and the bags of goods delivered to the door, many people burst into tears.
At this moment, they were really moved.
When everyone was panicking, the fiery red gave them hope.
It turned out that Daxue was not as terrible as imagined.
Photos of couriers delivering goods in the snow quickly spread on the Internet.
On Weibo and forums, there was a lot of discussion.
For a while, Yuanfang became famous, and even the government was implicated. Some people asked why a company in Yuanfang could deliver things, but the government controlled the materials?
...
Far Group.
Li Dong smiled lightly: "It's not that the government can't do it, the government controls the overall situation and the general direction.
Controlling supplies does not mean that there are no supplies, and no one has really starved to death.
The reason why Yuanfang can do this is firstly that our quantity is small.
Regardless of the uproar on the Internet, how many people actually shop online?
Most of them are residents in urban areas, how many of them in rural areas will shop online?
The disaster situation in urban areas is ten times better than that in rural areas and mountainous areas.
To put it bluntly, the really difficult tasks were actually taken over by the government.
In the worst-hit areas, water, electricity, and internet are cut off, and even the Internet cannot be accessed. How can I place an order in the mall?
At this time, they can only rely on the government.
The orders we take are actually relatively simple places.
Since there is still the Internet, it means that no matter how serious the problem is, it will not go far. At this time, we should spend more energy and money. It is not surprising to do this.
Second, our logistics channels are smooth.
We are doing sea, air and land transportation, and others do not have our conditions.
Even the government will not use private power unless it is absolutely necessary.
It's not that time yet, everyone has something to eat and something to drink, but it's a little tight, so there's no need to mobilize the whole country.
So, it’s not that we are really better than the government, or that the government is useless, but that everyone thinks differently. "
Chen Ke and Bai Su nodded quickly, expressing that they understood.
It has been snowing too much recently, and many businesses of the company have stopped, and they are still idle, and Li Dong doesn't mind chatting with these people.
Moreover, Chen Ke has been by his side for two years, and Li Dong is going to let her go to do some practical things.
At this time, it is also an experience to break the matter apart and analyze it for her, whether there is any gain or not.
Several people were chatting when Wu Shengnan knocked on the door and walked in.
Seeing this, Chen Ke and Bai Su hurriedly got up, greeted each other and went down to pour tea.
When they left, Wu Shengnan took a breath and said, "Longhua's troubles are outrageous now, if Mr. Li hadn't said that Xu Shengzhe did it himself, I couldn't believe it was caused by their own internal strife.
Hundreds of owners collectively sued Longhua Group and wanted to check out.
There are still many downstream companies asking for project funds. If this continues, I suspect that Longhua will not be able to close the market.
Now I wonder if Xu Shengzhe really wants to put Longhua to death.
Even if this matter is resolved this time, it will be a major blow to their reputation. Xu Shengzhe is too risky. "
Li Dong smiled lightly and said: "Some things are actually out of his control, and when things have come to this point, part of them are designed by him, and part of them are accidental accidents.
It's actually beyond Xu Shengzhe's imagination if we push the flames and make trouble.
Recently his wife is about to give birth again, this guy is probably dizzy now, I think, it might not end well in the end.
He was taking a risk this time, and whether or not the matter would succeed was actually out of his control. "
Wu Shengnan said a few words with emotion, but didn't know what to say.
But the more chaotic Longhua was, the better, and she didn't have time to sympathize with that side.
Without continuing to talk about this, Wu Shengnan reported: "I asked people to get in touch with several small shareholders of Longhua, but these few were not friendly to us, and I couldn't understand it.
At this time, we are willing to give them a hand, shouldn't it be to thank us, right?
I heard that our people came to find us, those few wanted to eat us, they couldn't understand these guys. "
Li Dong didn't care too much, and said with a smile: "Maybe it's because he's unhappy. After all, a vigorous company will collapse if it says it will collapse. They should not accept it."
"By the way, how did the talk go?"
"Although the attitude is not friendly, these people are indeed afraid, and they are still willing to talk.
The few small shareholders we contacted were a little tempted, but these people still didn't give up. The price was raised, and I didn't agree.
Let's procrastinate, wait until Longhua can't hold on anymore. "
Wu Shengnan said in a low voice: "However, these shareholders don't have many shares, the largest is only about 3%, and the sum of several people is less than 10%.
I inquired and found that about 15% - 20% of Longhua's shares are in the hands of another group of people.
I don't know how they decided on these shares in the first place. In short, it is difficult for us to get them, or we can't get them at all. "
Li Dong suddenly realized, no wonder Xu Shengzhe was not too worried about losing his controlling stake.
They, Xu and his son, held 60% of the shares, and another group of people held more than 15%, which together exceeded 75%.
The Xu family must have had an agreement with them at the beginning. Under normal circumstances, they only have the right to distribute dividends, but not the right to transfer.
In this way, as long as their Xu family does not waver, other people will hold about 25% of the shares at most.
It is almost impossible to control these shares.
Thinking of this, Li Dong smiled lightly and said, "Forget it, these people don't need to touch their things. It's enough to take down the others. I'm not going to speculate on Longhua, and Xu Shengzhe won't give us this chance.
It is enough to get more than 10% in hand, and then I can have a good talk with Xu Shengzhe. "
Li Dong has a rough idea of who owns the other shares of Longhua Real Estate, but he doesn't want to get involved in this matter.
His purpose is to make some money, or get some good land, without putting his hands on other people's plates.
Longhua has been standing for so many years, and there is always something special about it.
If it hadn't happened suddenly this time, and Xu Shengzhe was the biggest ghost, Longhua would not have encountered such a crisis.
"What about Mr. Nanrui Hu's 5% stake?"
"Forget about that." Li Dong shook his head and said: "This old fox is not an ordinary person, he can guess the general idea with a little talk.
Even if Xu Shengzhe didn't guess, and knew that we were going to buy shares, he wouldn't agree.
Unlike those small shareholders, he has capital and is not afraid of losing money.
The combined capital of NARI Group and Tengxiang Group is not even weaker than Longhua. He can afford to wait, so don't work hard on him. "
Wu Shengnan nodded, and finally said with some regret: "Except for these, the shares we can really get are probably only about 10%, which is a pity."
"There's nothing to be sorry about, it's as much as you can pick up for free money.
I really want to buy more, but I'm still not at ease.
Xu Shengzhe is a gambler. At that time, he directly ruined Longhua, and I will lose everything.
This is the best, 10% is not too much, even if he is not happy, he can only admit it. "
"That's true, Mr. Li, then I'll go first."
While talking, Wu Shengnan remembered another thing, turned around and said, "I forgot to mention, the auction time of the land in the CBD of Beijing has been set, and the auction will start on February 15th."
"February 15th?"
Li Dong thought about it, converted it into lunar time, nodded and said: "Understood, let's talk about it after the new year."
"good!"
As Wu Shengnan left, Li Dong stretched, and it was almost over.
The heavy snow should be over soon, and Longhua's matter should also be over soon.
During this period of time, he was very busy, and he should be able to rest for a few days during the Chinese New Year.
Fortunately, there is too much snow this year, and the annual meeting will be rescheduled to be held after the new year. Otherwise, I am afraid that we will have to be busy until the end of the year before we can rest.
Thinking of a series of major events to happen next, Li Dong twisted his neck, and he will be busy for another year, after 2008, he should not be so busy anymore.
