Even though this was not the first time they talked about money.
Yuan Chengdao could not help but remind him, "General Manager Li, with so many plans, our funds …"
"Are we short of money?" Li Dong asked back.
Yuan Chengdao was speechless. What should I say?
What can I say?
Aren't we short of money?
We are very short of money, okay!
The construction of several major city complexes and the establishment of warehouse centers everywhere. Just these two points alone would require at least 30 billion yuan.
Yuan Chengdao took a deep breath and said seriously, "General Manager Li, we are still short of funds."
"How much do we need?"
"This … CEO Qin, how much do you think we will need in the early stage if we want to fully expand the logistics?"
Yuan Chengdao originally wanted to give a figure, but he was worried that Li Dong would think that he was making a wild estimate. It was better to leave the matter to Qin Hai and the rest.
Qin Hai had already estimated this and even made plans more than once.
When he heard Yuan Chengdao's question, he immediately said, "We will fully expand the logistics in all the first and second tier cities. The initial budget was about 30 billion yuan. However, in the first seven months of this year, we have invested nearly 10 billion yuan. There is still a gap of 20 billion yuan. Of course, this is not a one-time investment … "
Li Dong said directly, "Let's not talk about one-time investment. Let's talk about this year. If we fully expand the development, how much money will we need?"
"10 billion!"
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Yuan Chengdao coughed dryly. You really dare to say that.
I told you to say this year, and you really want to do it big.
You don't know the cost of daily necessities if you don't manage the household. Qin Hai only knew about money and investment. Yuan Chengdao was almost scared to death.
However, it was fine now. Since he said so much, General Manager Li should also give up on this idea, right?
Li Dong was not in a hurry to speak. He gently knocked on the table. After a while, he turned to Wu Shengnan and said, "Dongyu Real Estate will invest in ten city complexes: Beijing, Shanghai, Shancheng, Jinmen, Linan, Hongdu, Jiangcheng, Quancheng, Shang City, and Shimen. How much is the total investment?"
"Ten!"
Not to mention Yuan Chengdao, even Wu Shengnan was stunned.
Previously, when Li Dong said that he was going to invest in an urban complex, she thought that he was going to invest in Beijing or Shanghai.
At that time, she didn't think too much about it, but who knew that Li Dong would ask for ten.
What a joke!
Four major municipalities and six major provincial capitals.
The land in these places was not cheap, and the labor and materials were also expensive. Even if Beijing had taken the land, most of the other places had not taken the land.
Wu Shengnan was stunned when she heard that she had to kill ten of them in one go.
Wu Shengnan gulped and said with difficulty, "General Manager Li, is it a shopping mall?"
"No, the city complex!"
Wu Shengnan confirmed that she did not hear wrongly. It was a city complex, not a shopping mall!
These were two completely different concepts!
Ten shopping malls. Even if they were all big cities, 1 billion yuan for each shopping mall would be more than enough. The total investment would probably not even reach 10 billion yuan.
But this was a city complex!
Wu Shengnan was not in a hurry to speak. After a while, she said, "Are they going to be built at the same time?"
"Yes."
"Let me do some calculations …"
As Wu Shengnan spoke, she took a pen and paper and started to calculate. These things had been planned before.
However, at that time, Li Dong did not say that he would build ten of them in one go.
Now that this idea was suddenly thrown out, Wu Shengnan was a little confused.
After a while, Wu Shengnan said in a dry voice, "Is it based on the scale of Beijing?"
"Yes, have you calculated it?"
"I have a rough figure."
Wu Shengnan carefully looked at Li Dong and said after a while, "If we really invest in ten city complexes, the total investment will probably not be less than 50 billion yuan."
"If we start this year, how much will we need to invest by the end of the year?"
Wu Shengnan smiled bitterly and said, "The land is the biggest part, so most of the investment funds are actually spent in the early stage.
The real spending in the later stage is not too much.
Of course, such a large-scale transaction would not be completed in the first time.
However, according to estimates, if they really acquired another nine pieces of land to build an urban complex, and with Beijing as the template, according to the current market price, the total value would not be low.
The development cost of commercial real estate, the proportion of land transfer fees is very large, generally more than 50%.
Therefore, if they really want to invest in ten large urban complexes, just this alone will need 25 billion yuan.
But in fact, we do not need to prepare so much money.
According to the real estate policy, we can only prepare the minimum capital ratio. At present, the minimum capital ratio for commercial real estate in the real estate market is 30%.
In other words, if our plan passes.
The total investment is 50 billion yuan, we only need to prepare 15 billion yuan. "
Since the minimum capital ratio was the minimum, there was generally no room for discussion.
If you did not prepare so much money, the government would also be worried that you would fail or run away.
Of course, some companies had done things like getting something for nothing.
So far, since they wanted to formalize it, they still had to abide by the minimum capital ratio. In other words, 15 billion yuan was the minimum investment for this project.
The rest of the money could be borrowed or owed, but without 15 billion yuan, the project could not start.
Seeing that Li Dong did not speak, Wu Shengnan thought for a while and said, "General Manager Li, actually, we can reduce the scale. Actually, Beijing is still a little big. But that is the capital. We can invest in the same proportion in Shanghai. I don't think there is a need to build so big in other places. If we control the scale a little, 40 billion yuan should be enough. In other words, we can directly get the land and start work with the capital of 12 billion yuan. "
Yuan Chengdao continued, "Even so, Dongyu's minimum is 12 billion yuan, the logistics side is 10 billion yuan, and General Manager Li said to continue to invest in the data center. These are all additional expenses. The previous profits of the group have already been arranged. Now that there is such a sudden increase in expenses, the gap is at least 20 billion yuan. 20 billion yuan … "
Yuan Chengdao did not want to speak anymore. You can think about this yourself.
Far away does not have money now. You said that you can't do anything and can't raise money.
At that time, Yuan Chengdao thought that if you want to spend money in the future, you can think of a way yourself.
Now that it was as he expected, Yuan Chengdao could not be bothered to complain.
20 billion yuan was the most basic amount. The rest of the money could be borrowed or thought of other ways.
But if they did not even have 20 billion yuan, what else could they do?
Could Li Dong still have 20 billion yuan?
Thinking of this, Yuan Chengdao's face suddenly changed. Not only him, but everyone's face also changed.
Chen Lang even forgot that he was a newcomer. Without waiting for Li Dong to speak, he hurriedly said, "General Manager Li, are you going to use the money?!"
Sun Tao's face also turned pale. He said bitterly, "General Manager Li, our foundation is not stable yet, and there are many people watching us. Once we use the money, the consequences will be unimaginable! "
Far away had actually used the money before. The biggest advantage of a supermarket was that they could hold back part of the money.
Under normal circumstances, the money could be held back for about 45 days.
For some supermarkets, it was normal to hold back for three months, but that was the longest time.
How much money could be held back in 45 days?
Based on the current scale of Far Away Supermarket and Far Away Mall, the supermarket's monthly sales were about 8 billion yuan. If the mall did not do any activities, it would be at least 5 billion yuan.
That meant that the monthly sales would be at least 13 billion yuan.
In 45 days, the sales would be at least 20 billion yuan.
Of course, the sales were not the money. The money would be more than 12 billion yuan.
This was why retail companies were so popular. Most retail companies were not short of money on their books. In fact, they were very rich.
As long as the stores were not closed down, the money could be deferred. It was equivalent to providing the money to them for free.
But all these were based on the premise that nothing went wrong.
Over the years, there were many companies that went bankrupt or almost went bankrupt because of the payment problems.
Unless it was a last resort, the companies would not use the money.
Even if they used the money, they would not use all of it. They would use some of it or save it in the bank for interest. That was not a small amount.
Before this, everyone did not think about it. But after the accounts were done, everyone suddenly realized that Far Away still had money to use!
45 days of payment was more than 12 billion yuan. According to the industry standard, what if the payment was deferred to three months?
Isn't it more than 20 billion? And more!
The reason why Faraway Supermarket's suppliers were willing to give discounts was because they had a short time to collect the money. 45 days was considered a good deal in the industry.
But now, everyone was a little afraid. Did Li Dong have any designs on this sum of money?
After Sun Tao and Chen Lang, Shen Qian, who had been silent, said, "General Manager Li, what do you think? Are you really going to use the money?
We can still accept it when you used the money from the shopping vouchers because we are confident.
But now, Faraway Supermarket's business is increasing, and its monthly sales are increasing.
The money we have is also increasing. That does not mean we can use it.
Now, we have more than 1,000 suppliers, large and small.
If there is a problem, and more than 1,000 companies come looking for us, the consequences will be unimaginable! "
Wang Yue also said, "I agree with everyone. Of course, I am not saying that we can't use the money. After all, we have the money. If we really have a shortage, we can use some. But the proportion should not be more than half. If we use more than 5 billion yuan, it will easily cause speculation. If someone tries to guide us, it will be disadvantageous to us. If there is a run on the bank … "
Wang Yue did not say anymore. Everyone understood this.
The money had been spent. If there was a run on the bank, what else could they do?
Far away could still think of a way to deal with a few billion yuan.
If they really used 20 billion yuan and there was a run on the bank, it would be a dead end.
Everyone understood the logic. It just depended on whether Li Dong could bear it.
In the business world, there were more than one or two companies that misused the money from their suppliers.
Some took the opportunity to expand the scale of the company and made great strides in development.
Some people's funds were broken. If the business was not smooth, the money could not be returned. If there was a hole, it would be death.
There were only a few who could really survive.
Could the investment Far away be smooth?
Could the business Far away be profitable?
If these could not be guaranteed, there would be big trouble if there were cash flow problems.
It was not easy to get to this point. Who dared to take this risk?
Everyone was discussing, but Li Dong was not in a hurry to speak.
When they were almost done, Li Dong said slowly, "We are not the only one who misused the money. We are probably the only one who didn't misuse the money. "
"General Manager Li!"
Li Dong waved his hand and said calmly, "I understand how big the risk is. But in this day and age, there is no business without risk. Are you willing to leave this money in the bank to earn interest? As long as Faraway Supermarket's business is booming and smooth, I don't think there will be a big problem. "
"But …"
Yuan Chengdao was about to speak, but Li Dong pressed his hand and continued, "What are you worried about? Worried that Faraway Supermarket will collapse? Or worried that someone will deliberately mislead us? "
Yuan Chengdao nodded and said, "I believe that Faraway Supermarket will not have a problem. But if someone deliberately misleads us, it will be easy for problems to occur.
When our business was not big, we did not have a lot of money in arrears.
At that time, when we used a little, it caused an uproar. We solved the problem by issuing bonds.
But now?
We have more than 10 billion yuan in arrears. In fact, someone has been waiting for us to use this money for a long time.
Once we use it, we can't hide it from everyone. "
Li Dong smiled and said, "What about other supermarkets, not just supermarkets, many manufacturers and other companies have also used this money. Why is there no problem?"
"A tall tree attracts the wind!"
Yuan Chengdao only said this sentence.
Others were others because they all followed the unspoken rules. Good for you, good for me, good for everyone.
Far away had too many enemies.
Li Dong had offended a lot of people. Far away had also offended a lot of people.
If others used the money, perhaps everyone would tacitly agree and would not expose it.
There was a high chance that they would be exposed on the other side.
Once the suppliers knew that Far away had used their 10 billion yuan, how could they not be worried?
Other companies were not large. Even if there was money, it was usually tens of millions or hundreds of millions at most.
Even if China Resources and Bailian, or Suning, Gome, these companies were considered leaders in the retail industry.
But these companies did not really have too much money in arrears, at least not as much as Far away.
Far away had a lot of money because of the shopping malls.
Also, China Resources and Bailian were state-owned enterprises, and everyone was more at ease. Far away had not been established for long, and it was not easy to rest assured.
"A tall tree attracts the wind …"
Li Dong thought about these words. Although he did not want to admit it, he had to admit that it was the truth.
But there was more than 10 billion yuan in the bank, and he felt that it was a loss to just eat the interest.
Li Dong knocked on the table and could not make up his mind.
In fact, he had made up his mind to use the money in the beginning. But now, everyone was against it. Even Wang Yue, who said she supported it, advised him not to use it all.
Li Dong would not hesitate if one person opposed it. But if all of them opposed it, then he had to think about it carefully.
Li Dong exhaled and said after a long time. "Let me think about it. This money is really tempting!"
It was not only Li Dong who was tempted. Everyone else was tempted.
But the risk was high. Far away had become a 100 billion yuan group. No one would be willing to ruin it because of this.
The meeting room fell into dead silence because of this dispute.
After a long time, Li Dong waved his hand and said. "Disperse. I will think about it myself."
Everyone was speechless and left the meeting room one after another. Because of this matter, they did not even care about the group's business adjustment.
