Hu Xiaorui's birthday banquet had started Li Dong's promotion throughout the province.
The establishment of the internet financial system was done step by step.
If it wasn't for Li Dong's slogan, it would have been done.
Some things were easier said than done.
What seems to be a simple matter is actually much more complicated than you think.
Why would customers trust you?
Why would consumers trust you?
It was only because Li Dong was famous and influential that he had the qualifications and the capital to promote his business so quickly.
If it were any other company, they would have to go through the difficulties step by step and slowly influence the market.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Alipay was established in 2004. It launched mobile payments in 2008 and started developing QR code scanning payments in 2010.
But the promotion was very difficult. At that time, Ma Yun did not have the influence and strength he had today.
It took Ali four years to complete the preliminary preparations and negotiations, as well as to communicate with various departments!
It was only in 2014 that QR code scanning payments were accepted by the public.
Following that, to promote the business and let the public know, Ali spent another few years to gradually perfect the QR code scanning payments.
Even so, until Li Dong's rebirth in 2016, QR code scanning payments did not occupy half of the market.
In the next six years, the promotion of this business had to withdraw from the offline QR code scanning industry. Even the central bank had started to stop it.
The public who enjoyed the convenience of QR code scanning would find it hard to understand the difficulties involved.
At that time, Li Dong had started to promote this business at the end of 2008. Before smartphones were launched, it was harder for him to promote this business than Ma Yun.
But if you decide to walk on some roads, you have to be prepared to accept the difficulties.
The second person to enter the market, reaping the fruits of others' labor sounded good, and in fact, it felt good.
But the first was still the first. The public's perception of you was different, your influence was different, and your market share was also different.
Li Dong, after his rebirth, did he have to wait for Ma Yun to stand up and promote it before he could enjoy the fruits of his labor?
Li Dong might be thick-skinned, but sometimes, being thick-skinned did not mean anything.
He also wanted to achieve greater achievements and gain greater recognition.
Even if these businesses weren't his original works, it didn't matter. Right now, Li Dong was very proud to say that he was the one who completed the initial promotion and groundwork!
It was Li Dong's job to establish connections with the government, the central bank, and settle all the difficulties and obstacles.
In this way, the sense of achievement was even better. At least, Li Dong felt that he had done something.
Perhaps some people would say that since it was so difficult, they might as well not promote it. A QR code scanning payment, including the entire Internet finance industry, did not seem to have much impact.
If he paid with cash, wouldn't he still be able to live comfortably?
Didn't he live for so many years without shopping online?
Without internet finance, everyone could spend less money.
Li Dong had always been too lazy to refute these views. Different people have different views. In other words, what was necessary in this world?
Eating and drinking to their heart's content was enough for the primitive man to survive.
…
On December 14th, Shen Qian and Chen Lang went to Hong Kong together.
Li Dong attached great importance to Gome's merger and acquisition business, and so did Shen Qian and Chen Lang.
If this step was taken, Far away would completely establish its position as the king of retail and would no longer be walking with a limp.
It would be the king of online retail and offline retail.
The home appliance and department store industries would open up online and offline channels at the same time. At the same time, it would dominate the country. In the next ten or even twenty years, Far Away would not have to worry about anything.
On the same day, Du Juan called Li Dong.
"The board of directors agreed!"
When Du Juan said this, there was a sense of relief, uneasiness, and even a little confusion about the future.
Li Dong, the cancer of the industry.
This cancer was actually not only a derogatory name, but also the respect that the industry peers had for Li Dong.
He was a very scary person. He never hid his ambition, which was to be the unique king.
But even so, there was no way to stop him.
The former department store giants, Suguo and Carrefour, completely collapsed, and Far Away's department store business was established.
In the field of home appliances, Li Dong had set foot in the offline market. Many people were speculating that perhaps, Gome would be the stepping stone for Li Dong's rise in the offline field of home appliances.
Du Juan knew all these rumors.
But she was really tired and exhausted.
She didn't want to bring in Li Dong, but once she refused, Gome would have to bear pressure and blows from many directions.
Li Dong was a chronic poison. If you didn't take it, the poison outside would be more powerful.
If you took it, you wouldn't die now, maybe you would never die. But after all, it was a poison, not a good medicine.
Now, Du Juan had to take it.
If she didn't take this poison, she would have to take something more poisonous. Du Juan and Old Huang both knew how to choose.
So, Du Juan finally compromised.
Li Dong was not surprised. He just chuckled and said, "When can we sign the contract?"
Du Juan forced a smile and said, "Anytime. Of course, if General Manager Li wants it to be faster, that's fine. Before the end of the month, the board of directors will be reorganized. General Manager Li will enter before that, so that it won't be difficult to arrange later. "
As the top three major shareholders of Gome, Li Dong had the right to appoint directors, including the executive director!
The board of directors was reorganized, and Li Dong also had to arrange people.
According to the proportion of shares, Li Dong could appoint at least one director. If Li Dong strongly requested, two directors could be appointed.
Of course, the board of directors sometimes didn't matter.
Most of the time, the shareholders' meeting was the most important. There was not much difference between one or two directors.
But Li Dong still smiled and said, "Aren't you worried that I will become the next chairman of Gome's board of directors?"
Du Juan said calmly, "If General Manager Li is willing to resign Far Away, we have no reason to refuse. But part-time is fine. Gome has a lot of business, so it's not suitable for part-time work. "
Li Dong laughed and said, "Then forget it. If I go to Gome, there will be too many mothers-in-law. I'd better be the king of the mountain. How about this, I will go to Beijing on the 16th. This kind of thing still needs to be held for a press conference. I will attend and cheer Gome up. What do you think, CEO Du? "
"You're very welcome!"
Du Juan was not being sarcastic. She really welcomed him.
Right now, Gome needed a shot in the arm.
Or, Old Huang could be released.
Or, a powerful figure would intervene.
Li Dong's presence was of great significance. It might bring about a major turnaround for Gome, which was currently at its lowest point.
Therefore, when Li Dong went in person, Du Juan sincerely welcomed him.
Li Dong chatted with her for a while and finally said, "About the funds, can we pay in installments?"
Du Juan was speechless.
At this time, Du Juan really wanted to kill someone.
Gome was in such a difficult situation. Did you touch your conscience when you said this?
Of course, the funds this time had nothing to do with Gome.
Because the shareholders were transferring their shares, the funds belonged to them and would not be injected into the corporation.
However, the 200 million that Li Dong spent online still belonged to the corporation.
The rest of the money belonged to them personally.
Now that everyone was having a hard time, some of the funds were in their pockets.
Of course, Du Juan was unwilling when Li Dong said to pay in installments.
Moreover, Du Juan had her own ideas. This time, she had to transfer 3% of the shares. The Huang Group's proportion of shares fell to 35%.
35% was not a guaranteed proportion. She was also preparing to buy back some shares, which required money.
He had no choice but to sell it to Li Dong.
Taking the money and buying back some of the shares would make her feel at ease.
If it were not for the fact that other shareholders were unwilling to continue the transfer, Du Juan would not even give 3%. At present, it seemed that she could only wait until the resumption of trading and buy back the shares from the secondary market.
But all of this required money!
Du Juan did not speak, and Li Dong naturally knew what she meant. He laughed. "I was just joking. Don't take it seriously, President Du. I, Li Dong, do not lack money, and I will not play this game with you. Once the transaction is completed, the money will be in your account within a month. President Du, do you have any objections? "
A month was definitely a short period for such a large transaction.
Du Juan wanted to do the transaction, but she knew that it was unrealistic. "Alright!"
"That's settled then. We will talk about it when I arrive in Beijing."
"… …"
After hanging up the phone, Li Dong asked Bai Su to inform Yuan Chengdao and Sun Tao to come over.
When the two of them arrived, Li Dong said, "Prepare the funds as soon as possible. Du Juan has agreed to it!
This time, Gome's first installment is 1.8 billion, and Fukang's 1.5 billion must be settled as soon as possible to prevent any changes in the future.
That means we need to prepare 3.3 billion cash now.
I will be going to Beijing the day after tomorrow, and President Sun will accompany me. The funds must be in your account before the end of the month.
I don't care if the funds are from the Far Away City project, but the funds must be in immediately.
As for the other funds, we can wait. "
Yuan Chengdao asked. "Then the other 2% shares …"
Li Dong laughed. "I will owe it first. We will talk about it later."
Although the acquisition of Gome was done by Far Away City, Gome was not merged into a retail conglomerate, and it was Li Dong's personal decision.
As for whether the conglomerate owes it or he owes it, there is no difference.
Unless the conglomerate is merged into a retail conglomerate in the future.
Yuan Chengdao nodded and did not ask any further. "The loan is almost done. We need to raise some funds first, and it should not be a problem to fill the gap later. If it's urgent, we can raise the funds within three days. "
"That's for the best.
This time, he would make a trip to Beijing to talk to a few investment banks. Once everything was settled, he would catch the Huang Family off guard and not give outsiders a chance to intervene!
Also, we need to speed up the bond buyback.
Call President Chen and ask him to exchange Weibo's shares if possible. If not, we will use cash!
All in all, 2008 is over, and 2009 begins. I am going to launch a super cannon!
When the time comes, I want Zhang Jindong and his group to have a bad New Year. That is what I want! "
Yuan Chengdao and Sun Tao were helpless. You are such a bad person.
But thinking about it, it feels good.
The two of them did not say anything else and went to prepare separately.
The acquisition of Gome was not Li Dong's matter alone. It included taking over the online shopping mall and the offline staff.
Li Dong did not care about these things, but they had to do it.
Li Dong originally wanted to go to Yu Province to have a look. Now, he could only postpone it and try to rush back before the end of the month.
There were more and more things to do.
…
At the same time.
Li Dong was preparing to promote mobile payments and acquire Gome.
Qingyang.
In a small supermarket called Yuanqing Supermarket.
Li Qing said while doing the accounts, "Buy a few nice clothes in the afternoon. We will go to Pingchuan tomorrow morning."
Standing opposite Li Qing was a young man in his late twenties. He was looking down at Li Qing doing the accounts.
Slightly stunned, the man said, "Going to Pingchuan?"
"Yes."
"Wedding photos?" The man was puzzled.
Li Qing looked up and glanced at him before saying, "What wedding photos? We haven't even gotten married yet …"
The man panicked when he heard that. He hurriedly said, "Qing Qing, how can you say that? Didn't we already agree? And I've met Auntie. She is very satisfied with me. Qing Qing, did I do something wrong? Tell me, I should change my career. If you don't want to go to Pingchuan, we can go anywhere. I'll throw caution to the wind. You can go anywhere, travel the world and get married. Anyway, as long as you don't scold me for being extravagant. "
Li Qing rested her chin on her hand and shook her head. "It's not that I'm dissatisfied. You're barely passable. But I have to ask for the opinions of others … "
"Others? Qing Qing, our mother has agreed. You have agreed. My parents have agreed. I also agree. Who else do we need to ask for opinions? "The man looked helpless.
Li Qing's expression was a little complicated. She was slightly dazed. After a while, she said, "Don't ask so much. Anyway, you should go with me. If he doesn't agree, or if he thinks you're useless, I don't want you anymore. His judgment has always been very accurate. "
The man looked innocent. He said helplessly, "Who are you talking about? This is your marriage with me. Why is there someone else? If he doesn't agree, you'll dump me. I'm being treated too unjustly. "
Li Qing ignored him. Li Qing had very complicated feelings for Li Dong.
When they were young, they actually had a good relationship. Every time they went back to their hometown, Li Dong and Li Qing would get along.
Even Li Nanming and Li Dong didn't see eye to eye, but they rarely fought.
As for when the two sides would completely go against each other, it would be after Li Chenghui became rich.
Once a person had money, they would easily change.
They used to be brothers, but because of the gap between the rich and the poor, the distance between them was completely widened.
This was also related to Li Dong's strong personality. Li Nanming liked to show off when he was rich, so he often bullied Li Dong. In the end, Li Dong wasn't someone to be trifled with, so he often beat up Li Nanming.
After a few times, the relationship between the two sides gradually faded.
Later, when Li Chenghui passed away and the family declined, Li Dong completely rose and soared to the sky. Even Li Qing's supermarket was opened with Li Dong's help.
At this time, the mentality of both sides changed.
Li Qing was actually very proud to have such a rich cousin. If it was another time, she couldn't wait to announce it to the outside world every day.
Whether it was to bask in the limelight or to save face, no matter what, it was a great thing for her cousin to become a rich man.
But now, Li Qing never told anyone about Li Dong's affairs.
Except for a few people, almost no one knew that the boss of this small supermarket with a similar name to Far away was really related to Li Dong.
Sometimes, Li Qing couldn't tell if she should be grateful to Li Dong or blame him.
In short, her mood was extremely complicated.
Now, she was going to get married.
The last one, because of Li Dong, was still in prison.
This time, although Li Qing was quite satisfied, she also knew that Li Dong was more reliable when it came to judging people.
Second Uncle called back and asked Li Dong to check.
Li Qing was both excited and a little nervous. Her mood was even more complicated.
But no matter what, Li Qing still hoped that Li Dong could take a look. She was a woman, so it didn't matter. But the man in front of her, if Li Dong took a fancy to him, he might have a different future.
Women didn't have high expectations of themselves, but they always hoped that their man wouldn't be trapped in this small city and could see a wider world.
Unfortunately, this bastard in front of her didn't know anything and didn't know anything.
Seeing that the man was still nagging, Li Qing said impatiently, "If I tell you to go, then go. If you don't want to go, then forget it. Don't come to my place in the future!"
As soon as this was said, the man immediately surrendered and said, "I'll go. Isn't it just going to meet people? No problem. I'm so outstanding, why would I be afraid of meeting people?"
Li Qing rolled her eyes. When the time comes, don't be so scared that your legs will go weak.
