It was not Li Dong's place to worry about Jia Wenhao's future.
That night, Li Dong and Shen Qian talked on the phone for a while and found out about their next plan. Although he felt that Shen Qian was too tired, Li Dong had no choice but to accept it.
Sometimes, Li Dong felt that he was still short of people he could use.
Otherwise, Shen Qian wouldn't have to run all over the place without any time to rest.
…
December 17th.
The news of Li Dong investing in Gome was officially spread!
Both parties submitted the written agreement to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. This way, the secret was no longer a secret.
Although both parties did not hold a press conference and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange had not officially approved it.
But everyone knew that the Hong Kong Stock Exchange would not reject it for no reason.
This kind of investment did not involve other things, monopoly, or illegal transactions, so it was not up to the other party to reject it.
When the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar!
Li Dong really invested in Gome!
Even if both parties had this intention before, even if Li Dong had said it himself, it should not be a big problem.
But not reaching an agreement and officially reaching an agreement were two different concepts.
…
The Internet was in an uproar again.
The netizens sighed. "Brother Pao is Brother Pao. Once he makes a move, it's earth-shattering."
"We might not be able to see Gome's signboard in the future. Far away, Brother Pao might not be exaggerating when he said it would cover both online and offline."
"Gome's people are so naive. I don't know what they were thinking when they let Brother Pao enter the market. Brother Pao's companies have almost all been destroyed by him. I'm starting to worry about Gome and China Resources. "
"What do you know? Brother Pao has Gome's weakness. If they don't cooperate, he will beat them until they lower their heads. How can they not cooperate?"
"That's right. Old Huang has entered the market. Gome does not have anyone to support it. If Brother Pao wants to enter, who can stop him?"
"…"
The netizens were discussing it. The political and business circles were also discussing it.
Li Dong entering Gome was no small matter.
Next, if the two sides fully cooperated, it would cause great changes and effects.
It wasn't just the business world that had to think about how to deal with this change.
Even the politicians had to consider how to deal with Far away.
Far away, there were some places that didn't have shops.
So far away, there weren't many stores in the western region, and the scale wasn't large either.
However, Gome had plans in all these places. If they worked together, they would be much stronger.
The local government had to weigh whether they should still use the previous policy to treat Faraway.
Other than that, Gome had invested heavily in Capital City and Euphoria's Shanghai. Far away, Gome had done the same.
Far away's strength in Shanghai and Beijing increased greatly under the strong alliance.
Once the cooperation was fully launched, it would instantly surpass the scale of the local giants of the two places.
Even Shanghai's Bailian and Agriculture, Industry and Commerce Alliance were at most comparable to Far away in terms of scale. The advantages they had established previously were much lesser.
Of course, it wasn't just a department store. Gome was a chain of household appliances. The impact on the department store industry wasn't too big.
Moreover, it was only a cooperation and not a merger. Everyone could still accept it.
The scary thing was that the two sides would merge!
Even though the possibility was low, everyone couldn't help but worry.
Once the news came out, some people in the industry called on Gome not to believe too much in Li Dong's influence or Li Dong's character.
Everyone knew that Li Dong had the habit of monopolizing everything.
Once he entered Gome, he would definitely want to monopolize everything. They had to be careful!
Everyone was just saying that to create more trouble for Li Dong. However, it had to be said that these people guessed correctly. Li Dong was indeed planning to monopolize everything.
At the same time, Suning Zhang Jindong took the initiative to call Du Juan. First, he congratulated her on the cooperation with Li Dong.
Then, Zhang Jindong vaguely mentioned that the two sides didn't necessarily have to fight to the death.
The Hua Xia market was so big. The global market was so big.
It wasn't to the point where it couldn't accommodate two household appliances chain companies.
The goal of Suning wasn't to fight to the death with Gome. Suning's wish was to develop together.
In short, Zhang Jindong only meant one thing. Suning would slow down, and Du Juan wouldn't have too much pressure.
Far away alone wouldn't necessarily have much impact on Gome.
If the online market was given away, then so be it.
The offline market must be guarded well.
Old Zhang wasn't too worried about Du Juan controlling Gome. Even if Cheng Xiao controlled it, it didn't matter.
Now Gome was facing many problems and couldn't expand.
As long as it didn't expand, there wouldn't be much conflict with Suning. Of course, the premise was that Suning didn't take the initiative to occupy the other's market.
Du Juan and Cheng Xiao were unable to lead Gome to expand.
Li Dong was the only one who was a big problem. Zhang Jindong was really afraid that Li Dong's side would take away the right to speak for Gome.
Then, Suning would be in big trouble.
Online wasn't as good as Far away, offline wasn't as good as Far away. Far away was completely surpassed by the household appliances industry, plus the department stores industry. With the combination of the two, who could compete with Li Dong?
Du Juan understood Zhang Jindong's meaning.
And this was also what Du Juan had been longing for.
What was the purpose of introducing Li Dong?
Wasn't it to make others hesitate to attack?
Now, Suning was indeed a little afraid. They were afraid that Du Juan would be distracted and couldn't compete with Li Dong. Taking the initiative to ease the situation was a good thing.
Far away, after Li Dong entered, he no longer targeted Gome.
These two companies had given up on attacking, and the remaining few Best Buy companies couldn't affect Gome.
As for what Zhang Jindong and the internet said, Du Juan naturally knew about it.
Although Du Juan was a little nervous, she felt that at this moment, everyone could still get along peacefully.
Li Dong had just entered, and even if he wanted to make a move, it wouldn't be that fast.
And when Gome stabilized the situation, Du Juan would not give Li Dong another chance.
… …
At the same time.
Li Dong and Fukang's representatives officially reached an agreement in the hotel's conference room.
The shares and funds would be entrusted to a third party.
As long as Li Dong needed it, he could submit the materials to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the CSRC for an announcement.
In fact, Fukang had nothing to do with this.
Although the shares were not under Li Dong's name, there was no chance for Fukang to back out.
So far, Li Dong held 18% of Gome's shares, and a total of 3.6 billion issued and unissued shares.
What Li Dong wanted was not a simple acquisition of all the issued shares. That kind of acquisition was also an acquisition, but it was a different concept.
Li Dong's target was the entire Gome, including all channels, supply chain, funds, total assets … …
All in all, what Li Dong wanted was a full acquisition.
He did not want to acquire the issued shares. Even if this acquisition was completed, Gome would be delisted, and Li Dong would not be the leader of the company.
Currently, Li Dong's shares included the issued shares and unissued shares.
For example, the 2% that Shen Xuehua had transferred was the issued shares.
Of course, Li Dong's target was the whole company, and he did not need to differentiate these.
After taking down Fukang, Feng Yu's next two targets were Da Mo and JP Morgan.
Feng Yu had just discussed the terms last night, and these two companies would not agree so quickly.
After sending off Fukang's men, Li Dong sat down for a while and said. "Other than these few major shareholders, there are still some small shareholders. Among them, although the Euphoria faction was more spread out, they had quite a lot of shares in their hands. Do you think it's time to get in touch with the Euphoria faction? In addition, although the trading of the shares is currently suspended and cannot be traded, that is only for individual investors. For institutions that hold a large amount of shares, we can use the floor trading method to obtain a batch of shares first. "
Sun Tao heard this and said. "Even if we want to contact Euphoria Group, we must wait for Da Mo and JP Morgan to buy them first. If not, I am sure Cheng Xiao will know about this immediately with his status in Euphoria Group. As for the circulating shares, we also need to wait. Currently, Gome is suspended from trading, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will announce it to the public. "
Although Shen Xuehua had also reached a deal with Li Dong, she did not transfer her shares. This can only be said to be a private agreement between the two, and the shares do not belong to Li Dong.
Of course, no matter how his mother-in-law cheats him, she will not blackmail Li Dong.
Even if she blackmails him, Li Dong did not pay, and he can just use the IOU to renege on his debt.
Li Dong frowned. "What I'm afraid of is that after I acquire the two companies, I will hold more than 30% of the shares. If the waiver application is not approved, the public will know that I want to acquire Gome. At that time, I might not be able to buy the rest of the shares at the current price. "
Upon hearing that, Qi Yunna suggested, "Then we can make contact first, as outsiders to make contact. Actually, it is easy to understand. After all, we have entered Gome, and many people are optimistic about Gome. At this time, it is not strange to think of a way to acquire Gome's shares. The crux of the matter is, at this moment, if we can't step forward, who should we look for to step forward? "
It is difficult for a nameless person to make such a deal, and they may not even get to meet the other party.
They can only find some famous people, and the public knows that they have strong capital, so that they can quickly reach an agreement.
Li Dong thought for a moment and said, "How about Hsu Shengzhe?"
"Him?"
Sun Tao frowned. "Mr. Xu is suitable, but Mr. Xu still has shares in Far away. In this case, it will be easy for people to form an association."
"That is true."
Li Dong touched his chin, and said after a while, "What about Sun Yuehua? Or we can find Mr. Shen, and Mr. Shen will invest and continue to acquire shares … "
After thinking for a while, Li Dong shook his head.
Shen Xuehua could not. At this time, Li Dong's goal was to acquire Gome. Once Shen Xuehua was involved, there would be some negative effects in the future.
Du Anmin was in power in Jingcheng. In the beginning, it could still be said to be an investment. After all, Li Dong had not entered the market at that time.
Now, it was not an investment as the goal, and it was easy for people to have conspiracy theories.
As for Sun Yuehua, forget it. If she continued to be entangled with the Sun family and owed them favors, he really did not know what to do in the future.
Names flashed through Li Dong's mind. Wu Yajun, Yang Shaopeng …
In the end, he felt that it was not suitable.
Some secrets were not suitable to tell them. Personal relationships were personal, and if they knew, it could easily lead to problems.
Seeing Li Dong hesitate, Qi Yunna said, "Why not find a third-party organization? Spend some commission and sign a confidentiality agreement. It is not a big problem."
It was best not to owe favors for things that could be solved with money.
Li Dong, who had learned his lesson, nodded and said, "Then find a reliable third-party organization to take over first, just like Fukang.
Although I have always said that it would be fine as long as the controlling stake is the controlling stake.
However, a controlling stake was a controlling stake, and there were still disputes behind it. My ultimate goal was to completely take over Gome.
Once all the issued shares are taken over, it means that Gome has taken the initiative to delist, which saves me a lot of trouble.
Delist Gome, merge with Far Away, and completely become a part of Far Away is my ultimate goal.
For this, the more shares we have in our hands, the better. "
Sun Tao nodded, but still reminded, "In terms of funds …"
So far Away had invested 3.3 billion in Gome and Fukang.
In Xiangjiang, 1 billion Hong Kong dollars was converted to more than 900 million yuan, which was not much different from 1 billion yuan. According to the round calculation, just the cash alone was 4.3 billion yuan.
Now, they had to take over the shares in other people's hands, as well as the floating shares, which required cash transactions.
At present, Far Away really could not squeeze out so much money.
In terms of loans, tens of billions of yuan would not come so quickly. It might not come until January 2009.
Every time they talked about money, Li Dong had a headache.
Exhaling, Li Dong said, "I will find someone to borrow a part of it first, and then pay it back when the loan comes. It is not a big problem. Don't worry about money, you guys do it first. As long as we take over Gome, it is worth investing 20 to 30 billion yuan! "
Everyone stopped talking about this topic, but Qi Yunna talked about the supermarket. "Wumart has now taken over the controlling shares of the supermarket. I think they are still in contact with Keikelon. Once they acquire Keikelon, the local supermarkets in Beijing will be unified. At that time, we will be under a lot of pressure. General Manager Li, do we want to participate in this matter? "
Li Dong rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "No, but you can add some chaos to Wumart and let the outside world think that our focus is still on the department store. If it is unified, then so be it. It will save us trouble in the future. Besides, at this time, we do not have the capital to participate again. "
Far Away had been spending money like water recently. Lan Xingguo had overspent by billions, and the acquisition of Gome was also not planned, exceeding the advance by more than 10 billion.
Far Away had not reached the point where they could ignore money. At this time, money was still the main pressure.
There were some things that you had to make a choice.
Far Away had already formed a scale effect, so they could take it slowly. Plus, they had just acquired Carrefour not long ago, so they still had to absorb and digest it.
Qi Yunna agreed. Finally, before she left, she still suggested, "General Manager Li, smoke less these days. When you have time, go out and relax. Acquiring Gome is not something that can be done overnight. Don't tire yourself out."
Li Dong smiled and waved his hand, sending them away.
After they left, Li Dong felt that Qi Yunna's suggestion was reasonable.
It was not because of his health, but mainly because Li Dong had been hiding in the hotel since he came to Beijing this time. It was easy to arouse suspicion.
He was not an idle person. If he stayed in the hotel and did not go out, people would naturally suspect that he had other motives.
Picking up his coat, Li Dong called Tan Yong and left the hotel together.
