Chapter Nine Hundred and Twentieth Four Treats
Just when Li Dong was hesitating whether to show off, someone acted faster than him.
As soon as April entered, there was news from the business world.
TCL, Hisense, Konka, Changhong, and Xohua, the five major color TV giants, are currently preparing to form the "China Color TV National Team".
The five giants have only one goal, to unify the outside world!
In addition, we are talking about foreign capital.
And he is bolder than Li Dong, directly speaking, the average price will never exceed foreign brands.
Hearing the news, Li Dong suddenly smiled.
Grandma, why hesitate!
Even these color TV giants have to create opportunities if they don't have a chance, and if they don't have the strength, they still have to force their anus. He is now a godsend, so what are you afraid of?
Besides, he is a private enterprise, so he is not afraid of any influence.
As for whether Yuanfang will be retaliated when it develops abroad in the future, we will talk about it later.
Even the domestic Carrefour has not been killed, how can I think about these things.
But this matter has to wait for the time being, and the attitude of state-owned enterprises such as China Resources and Bailian is also debatable.
If you want to pull them to work together, it may not be possible.
After all, private companies are different from state-owned companies. Yuanfang has taken the lead in the boycott turmoil, and everyone has nothing to say. Private companies, Yuanfang is happy, and you can control it.
But it's hard to say if China Resources and the others get involved.
The state-owned enterprises also took the lead in participating in the boycott, destroying the friendship between the two countries, so what Li Dong needs to consider now is how to let them stand by.
Don't think that these state-owned enterprises will not make trouble if he starts with foreign capital.
The business world is talking about benefits, many people talk about national brands, and they are unanimous to the outside world. In fact, there are really cheap things to pick up. Who cares about these.
Having made up his mind to make a move, Li Dong naturally had to prepare well.
...
On April 2, Li Dong called Shen Qian.
During the phone call, Li Dong said with a strong attitude: "I have to go back to Jiangbei tomorrow, if I don't come back, I'm going to cause trouble!"
Shen Qian on the other end of the phone had a dark face. She had seen people threatening others, but she had never seen anyone threatening to cause trouble by herself.
It just so happened that the matter in Chuanshu was almost resolved, Shen Qian said with a little amused smile: "Don't rush, it probably won't work tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow."
"Then it's a good deal this time. If you don't come back, I will go there."
"Understood." After Shen Qian finished speaking, she continued: "By the way, that classmate of yours is not planning to go back, and I don't know her very well. What do you think should I do?"
"Ask me again, what if you don't come back..."
Before Li Dong finished speaking, Shen Qian smiled and said: "It seems that you care about Huang Shanshan, and you keep asking others to go back. You have never done this to Qin Yuhan, have you?"
The corner of Li Dong's mouth twitched, what he said.
If it wasn't for the danger, why would I be so urgent?
Before, I felt that Shen Qian was too easy to talk this time, but now Li Dong realized that this woman has been waiting for him.
But it's hard to explain this matter, Li Dong could only say: "There's nothing to be jealous about, I'm also doing it for her safety.
Zheng Sanqiang was still absconding. At that time, Huang Shanshan told me about it, so Zheng Sanqiang might have guessed it.
In addition, this guy has been pestering her before, what if he sneaks back to Hanzhou like Liu Tang now?
Others are rushing to inform me about my affairs, so can I watch her being retaliated against?
I can rest assured that you are there, you are back, I am afraid Chuanshu will not pay too much attention to this matter, don't you think so? "
When Shen Qian heard this, she felt that there was some truth to it. Although she felt that Li Dong hadn't told the truth, she didn't pursue it anymore, and replied, "That's fine, I'll find a way to bring her back together."
"Ah That's good."
Li Dong heaved a sigh of relief, it was finally done.
The reason why Shen Qian came back first was that Li Dong was also worried that he would have too many things to do next, and he would be delayed and unable to pick up her.
In addition, Shen Qian is also considered as his own think tank, how to deal with this incident in the future, he has to let Shen Qian help the staff.
...
On April 3rd, Li Dong asked Hu Ming to have dinner together.
This is the first time that Li Dong took the initiative to invite Hu Ming to dinner. Before, if there were outsiders,
Or Hu Ming invited Li Dong to dinner.
Li Dongzheng asked Hu Ming to have dinner alone. Hu Ming thought about it, it should be the first time.
Jinding Club.
This place has almost become a must-choice place for gatherings of big names in the business world, at least in Pingchuan, the rising star of Jinding Club has done a good job.
Ji Lanxin is now very enthusiastic when she sees Li Dong. The reason why Jinding Club is so favored by business people is due to Li Dong's contribution.
Whenever this guy has a party, he almost always chooses the Golden Tripod Club.
After a long time, many people know about Jinding Club.
Then, the merchants have more choices in where to meet. Here, it is not certain that they may meet Li Dong someday.
Now Li Dong is in the limelight, and Yuanfang Group is also strong.
In Jiangbei, Li Dong is the uncrowned king of the business world.
In the past, there was Xu Jianghua who was comparable to Li Dong, but now Xu Jianghua has completely retreated. Xu Shengzhe does not have Xu Jianghua's age advantage, and his strength is weaker than Li Dong, so naturally he cannot compete with Li Dong.
It's a great thing to meet Li Dong for a few words and chat, maybe we can reach a cooperation.
Someone will care about the every move of the influential figure.
Therefore, Li Dong is the key figure for Jinding Club to become popular.
As soon as Li Dong arrived, Ji Lanxin greeted her with a smile and said, "Mr. Li, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I look even more energetic!"
Li Dong said with a smile: "What's with the high spirits, I'm getting bored to death recently, one thing after another, I have been insomnia for several days."
As soon as Ji Lanxin heard this, she showed concern and said, "Is it all right? Why don't I arrange a technician to give you a massage later, to activate your muscles and bones, so that you can fall asleep easily at night."
Ji Lanxin's concern does not include the love between men and women, but flattering means more.
But Li Dong didn't refuse, and said with a smile: "Then I'll have a try with Mr. Hu later."
While the two were talking, Hu Ming's car came over.
When Hu Ming got off the car, Li Dong was about to say hello, when he suddenly saw Hu Xiaorui getting off the car, he couldn't help but glance at Hu Ming.
He had made a deal with Lao Hu before, and this time it was just the two of them having a meal and chatting.
Thinking about it, Lao Hu should have understood what he meant. If Li Dong wanted to invite Hu Xiaorui, he would have said so.
The reason why I didn't say it was because I didn't want Hu Xiaorui to get involved.
Hu Ming naturally also saw Li Dong's expression, and shrugged helplessly, indicating that he had no choice.
When he went out, he casually said something about having dinner with Li Dong, not to his daughter, but to the housekeeper.
As a result, who knew that the daughter upstairs had such sharp ears that she could hear Li Dong's name across the floor.
Now it's all right, knowing that it's an appointment with Li Dong, Hu Xiaorui also clamored to come.
Hu Ming is the third child at home, his daughter is the oldest, and his wife is the second. Even if the boss has spoken, he can't refuse.
It's all here, Li Dong didn't have much to say, and greeted Hu Xiaorui with a smile.
Hu Xiaorui couldn't keep her mouth shut, and as soon as she got out of the car, she pestered Li Dong and asked, "Li Dong, you called my dad for dinner, why didn't you call me? What are you two big men talking about? Last time I invited you to dinner, you still said No time, big liar!"
Li Dong smiled wryly, and said helplessly, "Xiao Rui, I'm talking about business with Uncle Hu."
"Cut, what business do you guys have, and the businesses don't overlap." Hu Xiaorui curled her lips, and then said with a smile: "I see, are you trying to trick someone again?
Last time you cleaned up Menshen, you didn't tell me.
It wasn't until later that I found out that you guys had joined forces secretly. Really, if there is a good show, you should let me know.
I will not tell outsiders, my mouth is very strict. "
Li Dong was helpless, and Hu Ming also had black lines on his face. Listening to this, it feels like we are all bad people.
Who cheated?
Besides, this guy Li Dong didn't know what he was looking for today.
Hu Ming glanced at his daughter, then at Li Dong, this guy didn't let Xiaorui come today, could it be because he was going to talk about Xiaorui with him?
After all, Li Dong is not stupid. Doesn't he know that his daughter is interested in him?
After thinking wildly for a while, Hu Ming and the others did not delay at the door.
Led by Ji Lanxin, everyone entered the club's most luxurious private room.
...
In the private room, the three of them ate and drank, but didn't talk about anything serious.
It was mainly Hu Xiaorui who was saying that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has become a star, and "Langya Bang" has also started filming.
And the project "Where Are We Going, Dad" has also started. In the past few days, Hu Xiaorui is in contact with several TV stations to see if they can broadcast simultaneously on satellite TV and the Internet.
In 2008, Satellite TV had not separated production and broadcasting.
In other words, these variety shows are self-produced and broadcast by David TV.
Now a film and television company is producing a variety show and hopes to broadcast it on satellite TV. It is a new attempt, and there are many satellite TV stations who are interested.
In particular, although East Star Entertainment is a new star, two consecutive TV series have been very popular, and everyone wants to see how effective their variety shows are.
Hu Xiaorui said that both Li Dong and Hu Ming listened carefully and kept praising them.
When Hu Xiaorui went to the bathroom, Hu Ming and Li Dongcai breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then they looked at each other and smiled.
After laughing for a while, Hu Mingcai said: "Li Dong, you invited me to dinner because you have something to talk about. It's okay to speak up while Xiaorui is away."
Li Dong didn't think much about it, and said directly: "The main reason for inviting Uncle Hu to dinner this time is to discuss two matters with Uncle Hu."
"you say."
"The first thing has little to do with Uncle Hu, but mainly with Aunt Sun. I hope that Tengxiang can extend the settlement cycle for us in the future.
But Aunt Sun is in the capital now, so it's inconvenient to talk on the phone. I hope Uncle Hu can tell her. "
Hu Ming glanced at him when he heard the words, frowned slightly and said, "I'm not very good at making decisions on Tengxiang's side, but I will pass on the matter."
Hu Ming said again: "Is there a problem with the funds?"
Extending the settlement cycle is fine for small companies, and it is normal to procrastinate.
But for a large enterprise like Yuanfang, extending the payment time is a big deal.
Tengxiang is the main supplier of Yuanfang Supermarket in Beijing, Tianjin and southern Jiangsu. The payment for a cycle is as high as hundreds of millions, and billions are not uncommon.
Extending the cycle will also put a lot of pressure on Tengxiang.
If there is no tenable reason, Sun Yuehua may not agree.
The last time the payment cycle was extended was when Yuanfang and Suguo fought in southern Jiangsu.
Now the distance is calm, and there is no supermarket to compete with them. At this time, Li Dong asked to extend the cycle, and Hu Ming naturally suspected that there was a problem with his funds.
Li Dong shook his head and said, "That's not true. There is no problem with Yuanfang Supermarket's normal operation now."
"That……"
Hu Ming showed doubts, but asked one more question.
After all, if he didn't explain the matter clearly, it would be useless for him to tell it.
Li Dong purposely approached him to discuss this matter, naturally hoping that he could make a turnaround from it.
Wei Wei hesitated for a moment, Li Dong didn't hide too much, and said: "Recently, I am going to clean up the retail market in East China.
We fought against Suguo before, which made some supermarket chains gain a foothold here.
Taking advantage of the fact that they haven't completely stabilized and their influence isn't too great, I thought about getting them out of East China first. "
Li Dong said indifferently, Hu Ming was stunned.
Damn, you kid is really ambitious!
I just had a fight with Suguo last year, and it's only been less than half a year. Are you still here?
For other companies, after a battle, at least they have to recuperate for several years.
In addition, Yuanfang is still expanding, and there is no bottleneck period at this time. In Hu Ming's view, it is completely unnecessary to choose to continue to provoke the retail war at this time.
But Li Dong is going to do this, Hu Ming is not surprised.
Licking his dry lips, Hu Ming frowned and said, "Li Dong, it's not that Uncle Hu is selling old people, but you shouldn't have too much money at this time.
You have been talking about the financing for a month, but you have not heard of any progress.
Is the pressure too great for you to launch a war at this time? "
Li Dong nodded and said: "There is a bit of pressure, but this matter must be done, the sooner the better.
If it is too late, these companies will gain a firm foothold, and it will take more energy and money to drive them out in the future.
Another point is that I did this for smoother financing.
I have high requirements for Yuanfang's financing this time, but unfortunately those investment banks are unwilling to pay more.
That being the case, I have to take the initiative.
If we can reshuffle the cards this time and eliminate those supermarket chains, the position of Yuanfang Supermarket will be further consolidated, and the top three will be stable.
At this time, investment banks should understand that they are reluctant to spend money at this time, and after a while, we will have money to develop ourselves.
Also, the value of Yuanfang Mall is underestimated. After cleaning up other supermarkets in East China, I plan to further develop the O2O model.
At that time, Wanjia.com should be merged into Yuanfang Mall, and the influence of Yuanfang Mall will be further expanded..."
Hu Ming thought for a while, although he still had some doubts, Li Dong was not his subordinate after all, so it was benevolent to say so much.
Without further questioning, Hu Ming nodded and said: "I will explain to Yuehua, but I have agreed in advance, I can't guarantee whether it will be successful."
Li Dong smiled and said: "I believe that Aunt Sun can make the best choice, after all, if Yuanfang wins this time, Huadong will be the only one in our family from now on.
At that time, our business will increase and our market share will skyrocket.
For Tengxiang, the benefits are not small.
It's just a postponement for a while, and Aunt Sun will definitely agree. "
Hu Ming rolled his eyes, what he said seemed to be true.
It's really that easy, you just have to say it yourself.
Hundreds of millions of funds, postponed for a few months, it is not a trivial matter, it puts a lot of pressure on Tengxiang, it is not as simple as Li Dong said.
This topic ended here, and Hu Ming said again: "Didn't you talk about two things, what else?"
"The second thing..."
Li Dong had a smile on his face, it could even be said to be flattering, he gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that Uncle Hu's business has been doing pretty well recently, but Nanrui's cash flow is not enough..."
Before he finished speaking, Hu Ming knew what he was going to say!
Before he finished, Hu Ming immediately said: "Nari's money cannot be moved, we are a listed company, we have to explain to our shareholders and shareholders!
Also, the current market environment is not good, and I feel that business will definitely not be easy in the future.
At this time, I have to prepare some cash to tide over the difficulties. Li Dong, it's not that Uncle Hu is stingy, it's really helpless.
We have already been criticized by many people for purchasing 500 million Yuanfang bonds.
If I still do this now, I really have no way to explain it to others. "
Li Dong looked awkward, I haven't finished yet, can you stop refusing so quickly.
In Jiangbei, Li Dong knew a lot of rich people.
Even across the country, Li Dong also knows a large number of tycoon-level figures.
But for these people, it is not a big problem to eat and drink normally, but it is more difficult to borrow money.
There are not many people who can really borrow money. Li Dong calculated, Hu Ming counts as one, Xu Shengzhe counts as one, and Wu Yajun and Yang Shaopeng are also possible.
But now the market is not good, especially for real estate companies.
Xu Shengzhe and Wu Yajun may have more difficulties than Li Dong at this time, so it would be good not to ask Li Dong to borrow money.
For Yang Shaopeng, how should I put it, it is not difficult to borrow tens of millions, and it will not work if there are more. The relationship is not to that point.
So after much deliberation, Li Dong still found Hu Ming.
This fat old man is rich, really rich!
I don't know how much private money is hidden under my hands. When I cooperated with Xu Shengzhe and Li Dong before, it was like playing with hundreds of millions of cash.
And a few times down, he also made a lot of money.
At that time, it was not said that it was Nanrui's money, which meant that the old man definitely had a lot of cash flow in his hands.
Li Dong wants to clean up foreign-funded supermarkets, but he can't do it without money.
These days, what's the use of just resisting, at the same time resisting, you have to use your real strength to hang and beat the opponent.
Li Dong raised 700 million yuan not long ago, but the money cannot be used for this, and Yuanfang's own development cannot be slowed down.
After much deliberation, Li Dong felt that he should ask Hu Ming to borrow some funds for turnover.
Unexpectedly, the old fox refused him without waiting for him to finish speaking.
Seeing his expression of talking about money, Li Dong couldn't help but seductively said: "Uncle Hu, I didn't ask for you for nothing. This time I'll take Yuanfang's shares as collateral. If I don't pay back after the deadline, you will be the shareholder of Yuanfang Supermarket in the future!
Think about it, with so much money in hand, you can't just eat interest.
The current market investment environment is not good, and supermarkets should be counted as one that can truly maintain profitability and be stable.
Yuanfang Supermarket dare not say anything else, at least it won't go bankrupt in the past few years, and you don't have to worry about your money being wasted.
And I will definitely pay back, you still don't know me? "
Hu Ming was really moved when he heard this, and asked suspiciously, "Are you really taking shares as collateral?"
"absolute!"
"Then...then how much are you going to borrow?"
"3 billion!"
"puff!"
Hu Ming sprayed immediately, glared at Li Dong, gritted his teeth and said, "Forget I didn't ask, let's end after dinner!"
"Come on, Uncle Hu, if it doesn't work, just 2 billion..."
"hehe!"
"The 1.8 billion head office will do..."
"hehe!"
Li Dong: "..."
