At night.
In the family compound of the municipal government.
Du Anmin was in a good mood today. His daughter had returned home, and his prospective son-in-law had also arrived. In addition, both the political and business circles had been talking about him, which gave him a lot of face.
There were very few people in Hua Xia who did not care about face.
Even if Du Anmin had reached the point where he could swallow his own saliva, it did not mean that he did not care about face.
Nowadays, when he went to meetings, there were often high-ranking officials who communicated with him in private. Most of the conversations were about Li Dong.
This made Du Anmin feel very good, even if because of Li Dong's influence, there was a little change in his next step.
Originally, the secretary was going to retire due to illness, so it was logical for him to take over.
But now, the higher-ups had a little more consideration.
Was Du Anmin, who had a close relationship with Li Dong, really suitable to take over at this time?
Of course, it could not be helped that the daughter chose her son-in-law.
It was very difficult to cultivate a high-ranking official like Du Anmin. It was impossible for the higher-ups to completely reject Du Anmin because of Li Dong.
Now, someone had already talked to Du Anmin. What was the situation with Li Dong and Shen Qian?
If they were really going to get married, the higher-ups had to consider two aspects.
First, they had to reject Du Anmin.
Second, before Li Dong got married, they had to let Du Anmin take over.
This way, the influence would be minimized, so that after the marriage, Du Anmin would be promoted, which would easily cause a heated discussion.
For this matter, Du Anmin was now letting nature take its course.
It did not matter if he rose a step or stopped moving forward.
His daughter's matter was the most important thing. Even though Du Anmin said that the country's matter was the most important thing, there were no such selfless parents in the world.
This was his only daughter. No matter how much he loved his country, he could not be more important than his daughter.
For the sake of his daughter's happiness, he was already at this point anyway. If he really could not be promoted, then it was not bad to retire from this position.
Because he was in a good mood, Du Anmin pulled Li Dong over for a few drinks.
After a few glasses of wine, the distance between the father-in-law and son-in-law was shortened.
After clinking glasses with Li Dong, Du Anmin's face was flushed. He smiled and asked, "Is Gome in big trouble?"
Li Dong chuckled and said, "It's alright. We'll release another bomb tomorrow. Victory or defeat will be decided in the next few days. He would try to get it done before the end of the month and have a good New Year. Qianqian said that she won't be busy before the end of the year. She's waiting for me to do something big. "
"Hahaha …"
Du Anmin laughed out loud. Shen Qian's face turned slightly red. She glared at Li Dong and said coquettishly, "If you want to drink, then drink. Don't talk like that."
Du Anmin laughed and said, "It's fine. We're family. We're just chatting.
Li Dong's words made sense. No matter how important business and career matters were, they could not be more important than family matters.
At home, to put it more selfishly.
Family matters, national matters, and world matters. You should understand what's the most important in this order.
When I was young, I actually did not think as thoroughly as Li Dong. Career is the most important, and family is secondary.
Of course, at that time, I did not walk as high as Li Dong. He walked faster than me, and I was very gratified.
When he was young, his career reached its peak. Perhaps this was the only way he could think more clearly than me. Very good! "
Du Anmin was really happy. He had changed his son-in-law and changed his young man.
At this time, their goal was the future, the future.
Of course, if it were someone else, even if he did not care about his future, Shen Qian and Du Anmin would also care about his future.
No one would wish for their son-in-law or husband to be a good-for-nothing.
Only at Li Dong's level, if he cared about family matters, would he not be considered a good-for-nothing.
To be honest, such a person was really hard to find.
At Li Dong's age, the children of the officials' families and the merchants' families were all striving for their futures and careers if they had the slightest bit of success.
And once that was the case, it was easy to neglect family.
From Du Anmin's point of view, he naturally hoped that Li Dong would pay more attention to his family and his daughter.
As Du Anmin spoke, Li Dong also said with a smile, "Uncle Du is right. I've already thought about it. I'll retire in two years …"
"Ahem!"
Du Anmin's expression changed as he lectured, "I didn't even say anything about retirement. Who are you mocking with that? I'm asking you to pay attention to your family, not to give up your career. This is not the same concept. Having a family and being able to take care of both is a good man. If you focus on staying at home, no matter how much boldness you have, it will be wasted in a few years. Take care of both sides and grasp the key points. That's what you should do. "
Li Dong looked helpless. The speed at which Du Anmin turned hostile was almost as fast as his wife.
But then again, some of Du Anmin's words did make sense.
If he really wanted Li Dong to completely let go and not care about the company's matters, he would not be able to do it.
Without another word, he raised his glass and toasted Old Du again. Li Dong downed his glass in one gulp.
Old Du also took a sip, put down his glass, and said, "I can't help you much with Gome. It's not suitable for me to interfere in these matters. But I have to remind you that at this time, the changes in Gome might cause some people to be biased. Huang Guangyu's trial has not started yet. Bail might happen at the critical moment. "
Li Dong was stunned when he heard that. After a while, he said, "I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Du."
At this time, Old Huang came out. Although some things could not be changed, it was not without impact.
Currently, CRMC and the Euphoria faction did not make a move. That was because everyone was not optimistic about Du Juan.
Compared to Old Huang, Du Juan was not on the same level.
Some of the elders and employees in Gome were also restless. That was because Du Juan could not control the situation.
But once Old Huang came out, the effect would not be the same.
Old Huang, who had been in charge of Gome for 20 years, was a god in the eyes of the people in Gome. He was not inferior to Li Dong in the eyes of the people Far Away!
Once Old Huang came out, the people in Gome would instantly calm down.
As for Cheng Xiao and the others, they would also hold back. Even if they did not choose to side with Old Huang, they would not choose to side with Li Dong either. They would continue to be in the middle until the end.
Sometimes, one person's influence was that great.
Like Li Dong, he had only been in for a few days. Far Away at that time, people were tempted and the outside world was eyeing them covetously.
But once Li Dong came out, he instantly suppressed the turmoil in the surroundings, and everyone quieted down.
This was an enterprise with strong individual heroism. Almost all of the large enterprises in Hua Xia were like this.
Especially for private enterprises, the founders were almost all mythical.
Once there was a problem with the founders, the consequences would be disastrous, just like the current situation in Gome.
Du Anmin's words made Li Dong a little more vigilant. This was not impossible.
At this time, some people might also be willing to let Old Huang come out and fight with Li Dong. No matter who won or lost, it would not be easy. This was the result they wanted to see.
Shen Qian, who was at the side, also had a solemn expression when she heard that. She quickly said, "Dad, then come out and say, can you intervene …"
Du Anmin looked slightly hesitant. Li Dong hurriedly said, "Uncle Du, you don't have to worry about this. Let us use business methods to solve this business problem.
Moreover, so what if he comes out!
"To put it bluntly, in front of Uncle and Auntie, I will say something big.
"At this time, in the business world of Hua Xia, I have opponents, enemies, and not Huang Guangyu, who has already become a thing of the past!
"Ten years ago, even if I had achieved what I have now, I would not dare to say this.
"Because at that time, Huang Guangyu was at the most glorious, peak, and prosperous moment of his life!
"Now, if I can't even beat him, how can I talk about conquering the world!
"If I am really defeated by him, then it is because my skills are not up to par. At this time, don't go abroad and embarrass yourself. It is best to stay at home obediently!"
"Good!"
Du Anmin's face was full of joy. He said with a smile, "Everyone says that you, Li Dong, are good at talking big, but as long as your words are reasonable, bold, and ambitious, then it is not talking big, it is courage!"
"Come, let us have a toast. Just because of what you said, I will toast you!"
Li Dong quickly stood up, clinked his glass with Du Anmin, and drained it in one gulp.
At the dining table, Shen Qian and Shen Xuehua looked at each other, then a smile appeared on their faces.
It must be said that in this world, there were very few young people who could catch Du Anmin's eye, and even fewer who could receive such attention from Du Anmin.
At the same time, there were not many people who could gain Li Dong's admiration and respect at this time.
This had nothing to do with age, but it was indeed a matter of status.
If it was an ordinary old man, he would not be so calm in front of a son-in-law like Li Dong. Status determined one's bearing.
At this time, the father-in-law and son-in-law were drinking together, which made Shen Xuehua and Shen Qian happy from the bottom of their hearts.
…
That night, Li Dong did not stay at the Du Family's house.
At this critical time, coming to the Du Family's house for dinner had already attracted attention.
If he stayed at the Du Family's house again, he would be looking for trouble.
December 23rd!
Another earth-shattering change occurred in Gome!
Morgan Stanley, the firm that had facilitated the cooperation between Euphoria and Gome, chose to betray the Huang Family at this critical moment!
Perhaps, it was not considered a betrayal.
Capital organizations came for benefits. Whoever could bring them more benefits, they would choose that person.
At this moment, there was no doubt that Li Dong could bring more benefits to Morgan Stanley.
Therefore, Morgan Stanley chose Li Dong!
…
At the board of directors of Gome.
When the representative of Morgan Stanley and Wang Yue jointly submitted the share transaction agreement, Cheng Xiao sat in a daze and was speechless for a long time.
As for the representative of the Huang Family, especially the female general of the Huang Family, Huang Xiuhong, her face was gloomy, filled with anger and despair!
Damo had betrayed them!
Who would have thought that it would be at this time, so soon, and at the most critical moment for the Huang family …
Damo, the capital organization that they relied on, had chosen to betray them!
Capital … Bloody capital!
In the past, when the Huang Family could bring them benefits, they did not hesitate to stab Euphoria.
Now, it was the same as before. Far away, when the Huang Family could bring benefits, they did not hesitate to stab the Huang Family.
Cheng Xiao sat in a daze for a moment, then suddenly laughed. It was a self-deprecating smile, a mocking smile.
Old Huang, this is capital. Have you seen through it?
Perhaps, you have seen through it long ago.
Back then, I lost, I lost so unwillingly, I lost so desperately.
Now, Damo, who stabbed me in the back, is now stabbing you. What an ironic scene, what a joke!
Cheng Xiao's laughter became louder and louder. Finally, Cheng Xiao returned to normal under everyone's cold gaze. "I agree."
Wang Yue said in a deep voice, "I agree too."
"Agreed!"
The three executive directors gave their answer almost instantly.
The original director of Fukang also expressed his agreement.
6 votes in agreement, there was no need to ask any more questions, the board of directors had passed.
As for the shareholders who objected, even without the board meeting, they knew that other than the Huang Family, no other shareholders would object.
No other shareholders had the capital to buy back 7% of the shares.
Even if they did, they would not join the fight between the Huang Family and the Li Family.
Tens of billions of shares, the slightest carelessness would lead to a complete loss. Gambling, this was not the time to gamble.
Huang Xiuhong was silent for a while, then said after a long time, "Hold a shareholders' meeting. Also, we will bring up some restructuring plans. Gome is still Gome after all. This brand will not change! "
No one answered. Huang Xiuhong did not say anything else, stood up and walked out.
The meeting room instantly returned to silence.
Seeing this, Cheng Xiao laughed again, stood up, and said lazily, "Tell the shareholders not to leave these few days, the directors should also try not to go out these few days. Perhaps, there will be more meetings coming up."
After saying something that was either sarcastic or full of resentment, Cheng Xiao slowly left.
At this time, Cheng Xiao's emotions were extremely complicated, so complicated that she did not know whether to laugh or cry.
How ironic. He had actually experienced the Yongle Change again in this place.
And during these two changes, she was the supreme leader of the company.
To be able to experience such changes twice in her life, Cheng Xiao did not know whether to be proud or to call herself a jinx.
Once upon a time, she was a self-proclaimed king of the business world, but now, she had become a dispensable supporting role.
How ironic!
…
"Shocking reversal — Gome on the verge of collapse!" "Li Dong attacks, the rise of retail hegemony!" "29.5%? Who will own Gome? " …
On that day, eye-catching news headlines appeared on major web portals, traditional newspapers, and major financial TV channels.
It was too exciting!
On December 16th, Li Dong and Gome signed the agreement and officially entered the market.
On December 23rd, Li Dong owned 29.5% of Gome's shares, only 7% away from the largest shareholder. In a week, he had completed the momentum of a tiger devouring a wolf.
In a week, when outsiders were still surprised that Li Dong owned Gome's shares, Li Dong had already completed an extraordinary battle for power!
Of course, even though Li Dong had not completely won and was still some distance away from the Huang family.
But no one doubted that Li Dong still had a backup plan and was continuing to speed up the battle for power.
Gome, which had been established for 20 years, might completely lose its position in less than two months after Huang Guangyu went to prison and be taken over by another rising retail tycoon.
In the first ten years, Hua Xia's retail hegemony was surnamed Huang.
In the next ten or even twenty years, Hua Xia's retail hegemony was surnamed Li!
Some media commented that this was the handover of Hua Xia's retail hegemony.
The handover started from the position of the richest man, the position of the number one retail hegemony, and now, the handover might even be carried out with the change of ownership of Gome!
The new generation was better than the old. Time was merciless, and it was now fully displayed.
