Hilton Hotel.
After entering the suite, Bai Su took the initiative to take over Shen Qian's luggage and helped to arrange it. Then, she poured a cup of tea for both of them before Bai Su left.
After she left, Shen Qian smiled faintly and said, "Your secretary is quite capable. No wonder you bring her along wherever you go."
Li Dong rolled his eyes and said lazily, "What do you mean by capable? I really don't know about certain aspects. Besides, you said you have a secretary. If I don't bring her along, do you think I have to do things like serving tea or pouring water? Then what's the point of having a secretary? "
Shen Qian almost spat out the tea in her mouth. She coughed a few times and said angrily, "Don't act like a rogue."
"Who's acting like a rogue?"
Li Dong looked aggrieved and said helplessly, "I'm just following your words. Why is it me acting like a rogue?"
Shen Qian couldn't be bothered with him. She got up and walked around the suite.
After a while, Shen Qian smiled and said, "It seems that some illnesses are a good thing. You don't have enough energy to think about other things."
Li Dong stared at her with a black face. Don't hit me in the face when you hit me, and don't point out my shortcomings when you scold me.
Besides, I've recovered a long time ago. What are you talking about?
Li Dong couldn't be bothered to answer her. He took the initiative and said, "Have you called Uncle Du and Aunt Shen? I'll accompany you for dinner tonight. Uncle Du's cooking is pretty good. Let him cook something delicious for us. "
Shen Qian laughed and said, "If you want to say it, you can say it. I won't say it. You only dare to say this in front of me. Go and talk to my dad. "
When Du Anmin was in Jiangbei, he had cooked before. The first time Li Dong went to the Du Family for dinner, it was Du Anmin who personally cooked.
But later on, Du Anmin was probably too busy, so Li Dong never saw him go to the kitchen again.
Shen Qian asked Li Dong to do it, but Li Dong didn't dare to say it. He quickly smiled and said, "Forget it. It's fine as long as you don't let your mother cook. The housekeeper can also make some food."
Li Dong had tasted Du Anmin's culinary skills and found them to be passable.
Although Shen Xuehua had not tasted it, judging from Old Shen's temperament, he was afraid that he had never cooked in his life. Li Dong was afraid that he would poison himself.
As for asking Du Anmin to cook for him, that was just a joke.
As the end of the year approached, Du Anmin was so busy that he didn't have time to cook.
But it was true that they were going to the Du family for dinner.
Ever since Li Dong came to Beijing this time, he had never been there. Shen Xuehua even took the initiative to bring this up.
Now that Shen Qian was back, if he didn't go back, Old Du and his wife might scold Li Dong.
After chatting for a while, Shen Qian walked to the window and looked out. After a while, she said. "The building in front is the Pengrun Building, right?"
"Yes."
Li Dong also walked over. Every time he stayed in a hotel, he liked it to be close.
This time, he chose the Hilton Hotel because the Pengrun Building was not far away. Although there was a building in the way, he could still see it.
"Du Juan is really anxious about the Gome Building now. Next, there will be a battle. At the critical moment, capital injection, resumption of trading, issuance of new shares, and even forced delisting are all part of Du Juan's plan. I'm afraid you will need a lot of money in the future. If you need money, you can tell me. I will help you. "
Far away, the loan had not been approved yet. They had spent a lot of money to acquire the shares.
If it wasn't for Weibo, Li Dong would not have been able to hold on.
Even so, Yuan Chengdao and the rest were doing their best.
The funds for the Yuanfang City project, the logistics and warehouse funds, and the big data center funds were all transferred. Only then did Li Dong have the funds he needed.
Next, even if the loan from Far away came in, it would only be enough to fill the hole.
Li Dong was good at making money, but he was even better at spending money.
Li Dong did not care about Shen Qian's words. He said, "Your projects are good. Don't use them for now. As for me, I will hold on until the loan is approved. "
"You … You are just trying to save face."
Shen Qian sighed and said, "In 2008, you made a lot of money and spent even more.
In this year, the money you made in the stock market, the money you made from Han Yu, plus Faraway Group's sales of nearly 200 billion, the profit is close to 20 billion.
All in all, you've earned at least 25 billion in cash this year.
This does not include the value added from Weibo, Mall, Wantoon, and real estate projects. If you really count it, I'm afraid it will be close to 50 billion.
In a year, you made the richest man in the world.
But in a year, you spent at least two of the richest men in the world.
In 2008, you spent 100 billion, right? "
Li Dong was surprised, "That much?"
Actually, Li Dong had never counted how much money he had spent in the past year, but he knew that it shouldn't be too little.
Shen Qian found it funny and said: "You ah, you're the one who knows but you're acting like you don't know.
Far away City project, Dongyu Real Estate, and the land on the logistics side cost 50 billion.
Far away Airlines, Far away Industries, Big Data Center, OPPO shares … These are at least 10 billion.
Carrefour also spent more than 10 billion.
Coupled with the expansion of other original industries, 100 billion is a small amount.
Sometimes, I am quite proud of you, Li Dong.
There is no shortage of people who can make money in this world, but it is really rare to see people who can spend money like you. "
In 2008, Li Dong spent more than 100 billion, which was a miracle.
Not to mention a group like Far away, even a trillion-dollar group might not be able to spend so much in a year.
This was also because many projects had not been completely completed, such as the Far away City project, which was still in the state of investment.
Li Dong's speed of making money was unparalleled, and the speed at which he spent money was unsurpassed. At least for now, except for the government.
When Shen Qian said this, Li Dong touched his chin and said, "Hearing you say this, I feel that I am quite awesome. When did I become so good at spending money?"
Shen Qian laughed and shook her head, "Anyway, it is still the same. If you really need money, I don't have more than 1 billion. Don't be a male chauvinist and think that you can't spend my money. Don't embarrass yourself in front of me. That's your wife, it doesn't matter. Don't embarrass yourself in front of outsiders. For a few hundred million, you are making a scene and rolling on the ground. After all, you are a leading entrepreneur in Hua Xia. Have some face. "
Li Dong's mouth twitched, and after a while, he said, "Where did you get the money?"
"What do you think? After all, I'm still your creditor. "
When this was said, Li Dong instantly understood.
That mother-in-law of his really couldn't be judged by her appearance.
Li Dong sighed, "I always thought that Aunt Shen was a glutton, but now it seems that I misunderstood. This person, I can't help but admire her now! "
Li Dong gave a thumbs up and said, "Keep it for yourself. I don't lack this bit of money. Besides, I have already said to leave a way out for yourself. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. In the end, if I get wiped out, I won't even be able to find a place to cry. "
Li Dong's refusal was within Shen Qian's expectations. This guy, sometimes, was actually very naive and idealistic.
He didn't want to talk about money in front of a woman, let alone borrow money from a woman.
Back then, because of Shen Qian's 1 billion, Li Dong was under a lot of pressure. In the end, he used Szentai's shares and all his assets, except for Far away, to be transferred to Shen Qian.
Now, he was not at the end of the road.
The bank loan was coming soon. Li Dong would rather use the bank's money than take Shen Qian's money.
Shen Qian had a thorough understanding of his character.
The reason why she said this was to tell Li Dong that she still had money. When it came to a critical moment, he shouldn't embarrass himself for a few hundred million.
Sometimes, Li Dong was actually very open-minded. If he really needed that bit of money, he wouldn't make a scene. It wasn't the first time he went to someone's door to borrow money.
And Shen Qian didn't want Li Dong to have a moment of embarrassment.
Even if Li Dong didn't feel embarrassed, in Shen Qian's eyes, a person like Li Dong shouldn't worry about money, and he shouldn't lower his head for it.
Perhaps a billion or so was nothing to Li Dong, but he wouldn't be helpless in an emergency.
Since Li Dong refused, Shen Qian didn't say anything else. She changed the topic and said, "Take a rest today. I'll go to CRMC tomorrow to take a look. By the way, you do your own things during this period. I'll go look for a house after I'm done with CRMC. Didn't my mom say that she was going to buy a house here last time? When I'm done, let's go take a look together? "
"Okay."
Li Dong nodded and hugged Shen Qian from behind. He looked out the window and said, "If the villa area isn't suitable, we can buy a high-rise viewing house. It's a different feeling to look far from the top. "
"Well, I'll take a look first. You don't have to worry about this matter. You do your own things and leave the family matters to me."
When she said this, Li Dong couldn't help but laugh and said, "You haven't even married into the family, but you've already become a housekeeper. You adapt quite quickly. Since you said so, you have the final say. I'll leave the family matters to you. As for me, I'll just take care of the outside matters and relax. "
Shen Qian smiled and turned around to help him tidy up his messy collar. I can't help you with the big things, but I can only tell you not to worry about the small things.
Moreover, at this point, she really didn't have much to pursue in her career or other aspects.
The man was the most powerful entrepreneur in all of Hua Xia, and he also had a lot of savings.
Money, status, fame, and identity. She had all these things that she should have.
The only thing she lacked was a small family of her own.
And this was something that she would soon have.
In the future, her focus would be on this small family. She would manage this family well and let the little man in front of her live a more comfortable, relaxed, and comfortable life outside of his career. That was her greatest wish.
Sometimes, women's wishes were very simple.
Shen Qian was also very fortunate. She was fortunate to be born into such a family and didn't have to worry about some external matters.
She was also fortunate to meet the man in front of her.
At least her parents didn't stop her. This man also made her worry and made her proud.
As for the little imperfections, she turned a blind eye to it.
If he was really perfect, Shen Qian wouldn't dare to have such a man.
At least, Li Dong would tell her everything and never hide anything from her. This was much better than those men who hid countless mistresses outside.
The two of them didn't speak again and stood by the balcony for a while.
It wasn't until Bai Su knocked on the door and entered and said that Sun Tao was back that Li Dong let go of Shen Qian.
Shen Qian stroked the ends of her hair and said with a chuckle, "Then I'll go to my parents' place first. You can come directly at night."
"Okay, I'll call you when I'm done."
…
After Shen Qian went out for a while, Sun Tao came in.
After chatting for a while outside, Sun Tao came in and said with a smile, "Mr. Shen and Mr. Chen are indeed extraordinary. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to solve the bond issue so quickly. By the way, I see that Mr. Shen is in a good mood. Is the wedding coming soon? "
Sun Tao's words weren't without purpose. There were some things that others couldn't see, but as an old man who had been with Li Dong for five years, he could still see.
Recently, Qin Yuhan had appeared less.
Qin Hai had also become more and more low-key recently.
In addition, Sun Tao and Yang Yun were old friends. There were some things that he had vaguely heard.
In front of Sun Tao, Li Dong didn't hide too much. He said casually, "Probably in the first half of next year. We'll talk about the specific time. I've solved everything. You should hurry up. After solving your problem and solving Yuan Chengdao and Wang Yue, our company won't be so conspicuous. "
Sun Tao didn't care about the latter part of his words. When he heard the first part, he quickly smiled and said, "Congratulations in advance."
If it were someone else, Sun Tao would probably say a few more words about the matter.
But he had a good relationship with Yang Yun and Qin Hai. If he said too much, he would seem too heartless.
Ignoring Li Dong's private life, Sun Tao took the teacup from Bai Su and took a few sips. Then he returned to the topic at hand. "I've chatted with Cheng Xiao a few times over the past two days.
Cheng Xiao is a veteran in the business world and a big shot in the retail industry.
Years ago, before Suning rose to prominence, his Euphoria and Gome were the top home appliance chain companies in the industry.
This person's cultivation was not shallow, he was an old fox.
I've talked to him a few times. His attitude is quite ambiguous. Before the situation is clear, he won't make any bets.
Also, Cheng Xiao isn't doing nothing. When we were buying the shares, he didn't stay idle.
These few days, he has been gathering the support of Euphoria and some small shareholders.
I think he wants to be a third party. He even wants to be the deciding factor at the crucial moment.
Now, we hold 37.5% of the shares with Big and Small Mo.
The Huang family holds 36.5% of the shares.
As for Cheng Xiao, he can control about 10% of the shares after gathering his forces.
Including CRMC's 7%, he holds 91% of the shares.
It's almost impossible to take over the circulating shareholders.
Even if we can take it, we can't take it anymore.
Although the Hong Kong stock market is more relaxed, our and Gome's shares are too high. If there are too few circulating shareholders, we will be forced to delist.
Once we are forced to delist, it will be troublesome for us and the Huang family.
They will have to find a way to buy back our bonds with cash, and we will not be able to get them to inject more capital. This is not our goal.
That's why we have almost reached the bottom line.
"Next, I think we have two tasks.
First, CRMC's attitude.
Sell? Be neutral? Or choose a side?
They hold 7% of the shares and have a lot of influence. Once they support Du Juan, Du Juan's shares will reach 43.5%. This is very troublesome for us.
Before the situation is clear, I think Cheng Xiao will not make a move. This old fox is still waiting for the sandpiper and clam to fight.
Therefore, CRMC has become the deciding factor.
Second, force the Huang family to inject unlisted shares and restructure their assets. We will start to close the net.
This is to prevent the Huang family from forcefully dividing up Gome. "
Ever since Li Dong's words last time, Sun Tao had become more open and dared to talk about certain things.
Li Dong nodded slightly and said, "It's indeed not a good time to delist Gome at the moment. Just buy a little of the circulating shares. Don't make a big move. As for CRMC … "
Li Dong deliberated for a while and said, "We don't know anything about CRMC. It's hard to talk about many things. Shen Qian said she has an acquaintance there. I will ask her to try it out later. As for the matter of forcing Gome to inject capital … "
Li Dong's eyes flickered and said, "Now, we only hold 22.5% of the shares on the surface. Du Juan's pressure is not at its peak yet.
I thought about it. We can announce the agreement with one of the big and small companies first.
Buying the shares of one company will increase our shareholding to more than 30%. At this time, we will be close to the Huang family, but not surpass them.
At this time, the only thing Du Juan can do is to inject capital or buy back the shares of others.
The other small shareholders are currently watching and probably won't make a move easily.
Next, Du Juan's only choice is to inject capital.
She doesn't have the money to issue new shares. Now that Gome has not resumed trading, it can't issue new shares. She can only choose asset restructuring.
Therefore, she only has one choice, unless she gives up on Gome! "
Although Gome was suspended, it did not affect asset restructuring.
Many companies took the initiative to suspend trading and restructure their assets. This was not a problem.
However, without resuming trading, they could not issue new shares.
Moreover, Du Juan did not have any funds on hand. Therefore, this time, Li Dong cut off many other options for Du Juan. She had almost no other choice but to follow Li Dong's path.
Otherwise, she would voluntarily give up on Gome's shares.
To the Huang family, they would not give up unless they were at their wits' end.
Sun Tao thought for a while and nodded. "This is feasible. Let's announce the agreement with Big Mo. This way, we will hold 29.5% of the shares, less than 30%. This will give the Huang family the most pressure, but not to the extent of making them despair. Next, I'm afraid they can only choose to inject capital. "
"I hope so."
Li Dong heaved a sigh of relief. There were many things to consider in this acquisition of Gome.
The situation was constantly changing. If they were not careful, the Huang family would have a chance to turn the tables.
Both Euphoria and CRMC were troublesome.
The only thing that Li Dong hoped for now was that even if these two companies did not support him, they would not lean towards Du Juan.
Otherwise, Li Dong's plan would be in big trouble.
In addition, it would be best if Gome could resume trading as soon as possible after asset restructuring. This way, Li Dong could issue new shares and choose to attack Du Juan in the secondary market.
At that time, everyone would be competing with their capital, and not relying on luck like now.
