On the first day of 2009, the internet was filled with news about Li Dong and Far away!
"Epoch-Making payment software, Million Cartoon – changing the world!"
"On the second day of subscription, Gome's subscription exceeded 60 billion! A miracle under the financial crisis! "
"Ushering in a new era – the era of mobile internet!"
"The giant Li Dong starts a new journey!"
"Online and offline integration, Internet + a huge success!"
"OPPO L01, the legend of domestic mobile phones, selling over a million in a single day!"
"…"
On the opening day of 2009, no one could ignore the existence of Li Dong.
If you did not talk about Li Dong, there would be people around you who would talk about Li Dong. If you did not know about Li Dong, there would be people around you who would help you spread the word about Li Dong and disdain you for your ignorance!
Forget about the elderly and children, could those who did not know about Li Dong still be considered part of Hua Xia?
Li Dong, a young man who had just passed 24 years old, had created too many miracles in this year.
In the first half of the year, Li Dong had shown his capabilities.
He had acquired Carrefour, built Far away City, promoted Internet +, and now Li Dong was fighting for control of Gome.
Any one of them was enough to keep others busy for a few years or even a lifetime.
As for Li Dong, in a year, he had done things that would take others ten or twenty years.
Such efficiency, such success rate, the invincible god of war, the golden finger of the business world, these titles were thrown at Li Dong.
Was there any suspense in the battle for Gome?
In the eyes of the outside world, there was none.
In terms of capital, the Huang Family was not as good as Li Dong.
In terms of ability, Old Huang was not as good as Li Dong.
In terms of connections, everyone in Jiangbei was supporting Li Dong, while the Chao merchants had already started to retreat. The Huang Family could not do anything alone.
Finally, in terms of age, Li Dong, who was in his early twenties, could not be compared to Old Huang. Not to mention that Old Huang could not even protect himself now. Even if he was released on bail pending trial, it did not mean that he would be fine.
In everyone's eyes, Old Huang, who would go to prison sooner or later, was far inferior to Li Dong.
…
On this day, Li Dong's reputation in China reached an unprecedented peak!
The man who claimed that he wanted to change the world and had already embarked on this path, could it be that he couldn't defeat the Huang family and take down Gome?
On this day, the Hong Kong media also forwarded a lot of news reports from China.
On this day, Li Dong felt like dying.
Because he was too famous!
…
The Peninsula Hotel.
Li Dong's face was full of melancholy. He sighed and said, "Don't be too ostentatious. Don't be too ostentatious."
In the reception area, everyone was speechless.
Shen Qian coughed and said, "Since we've already given up on the application, don't think too much about it."
The reason why Li Dong was troubled was that everyone thought too highly of him.
In fact, in the afternoon, there was news that the major financial institutions had started to mobilize their funds again. Tomorrow, they would probably enter the market to fight for the application.
The reason for this was because Li Dong's business was a huge success!
Wan Tong was a huge success, OPPO mobile phones were a huge success, and even the entire Far away industry was greatly favored.
Since QR code scanning was so novel, they had to try it out at Faraway Supermarket after they bought a mobile phone.
Moreover, there were promotional activities, and it was New Year's Day.
On this day, Far Away Mall's business was booming, Faraway Supermarket's business was even more booming, and Far Away's mobile phone market was even more booming!
When these businesses were booming, logistics was naturally booming as well.
Other than real estate, which had little to do with this for the time being, Li Dong's businesses had exploded with great potential on the first day of 2009.
Some people speculated that on this day, Far Away's own business might have exceeded the 1 billion mark.
This was considered small, and it did not count as the mobile phone business.
Including the mobile phones, online pre-sales for two months, there were a million mobile phones. Including the offline sales, there was also a miracle today, a million units!
Two million mobile phones, even if they were bought at the lowest price of 2,500, that was already 5 billion!
Most of these mobile phones were sold through Far Away's channels. In fact, it could also be considered as Far Away's performance.
Even if some of the mobile phone stores in the outside world were diverted, there would not be too many. Most of them were Far Away's side. Added together, the total performance of Far Away's day might reach 5 billion!
Of course, these were the online businesses that were included in the day's performance.
On the first day of the New Year, Far Away achieved a miracle that Hua Xia Enterprises could not surpass.
Which company could achieve 5 billion in a single day's sales?
Even if the mobile phone business was fake, breaking 1 billion in a single day's sales was enough to shock Hua Xia!
Would such a Li Dong lose to the Huang family?
Since he would not lose, and Li Dong was rich, no matter whether Li Dong would buy back the shares of Gome this time or not, no one cared.
If the price was high, everyone would sell it.
If the price was low, they would keep it.
Gome was in Li Dong's hands. According to the current situation, it would not be a loss.
It would not be long before the market value of Gome exceeded 100 billion, and the stock price would double. It would be a big investment.
With this idea, even those who had not been tempted before were tempted now.
Tomorrow was the last day, and everyone had a chance to apply. Anyway, if they could not get the shares, the money would be returned. It was not a big deal.
There were many rich people in Hong Kong, and there were many in the mainland.
Anyway, it was convenient to travel between Hong Kong and the mainland. A large number of people came to Hong Kong for vacation on New Year's Day, and it was not troublesome for them to apply for shares.
If everything went as expected, there would be another climax tomorrow on the third day.
At that time, Li Dong's 5 billion HKD would not be able to apply for as many shares as he wanted.
Moreover, the stock price would not be low in the secondary market.
The amount of the subscription had a lot to do with the stock price. If there was too much excess, the stock price would be low, and people would not buy it.
Seeing that Li Dong was still pretending, Shen Qian was speechless. "Don't be narcissistic. By the way, should we reprice it? 1 HKD is too low. In this way, Gome will suffer a loss. "
"No, no matter how high the market value of Gome is now, it will not be of much use to us. I have said that our goal is to suppress the stock price, not to raise it. "
"But it is Gome's interests that will be lost. I am worried that others will go back on their words, including the Huang family. After all, the higher the stock price, the greater their profits. Moreover, on the surface, they have more shares than us. Raising the share price can also reduce the gap between our funds … "
As soon as Shen Qian finished speaking, Bai Su entered the room and said in a low voice, "General Manager Li, CEO Wang called and said that Gome's board of directors proposed to increase the price of the shares. The underwriters also hoped to raise the issue price. By the end of tomorrow, the number of subscriptions may exceed 100 billion. With so many new shares to be issued, everyone feels that the current issue price is too low … "
Li Dong's face was filled with black lines. Good things never come true, but bad things come true.
Shen Qian said helplessly, "I knew it would be like this. After all, the other shareholders' goal is to make money and benefit. Unlike us, they won't accommodate us on this matter. There was no way the Huang family would refuse. After all, the difference in funds is too big, and they don't want us to win easily. Or perhaps, they have already thought of withdrawing. Now that the stock price has risen, they will be able to fight for more benefits when they exit. "
Li Dong frowned and said, "I won't go so far as to withdraw, at least not now. Forget it, let them discuss it among themselves and tell me the results later. Let them raise it, then. Since they have already agreed on this matter, it's useless for me to refuse. "
As they spoke, Shen Qian's phone rang. Looking at the number, Shen Qian smiled and said, "It's Chen Mingyong."
"Answer it."
Li Dong said, and Shen Qian picked up the call. After chatting for a while, she hung up and said, "Chen Mingyong is laughing like crazy. He's here to announce the good news. As of now, the online and offline sales have exceeded 2 million units. He's regretting it. He said that it would have been better if it had been released earlier. Who knows, it might have surpassed the iPhone 3G and become the world's top selling mobile phone. "
Li Dong said angrily, "Dream on! If it had been released earlier, would there be such an opportunity now? The 3G network has not been opened, the Million Card QR code scanning service has not appeared, and the home appliances to the countryside policy has not been implemented. Where does he get the confidence to surpass the iPhone 3G? Furthermore, the domestic trend is fast. If it had been released earlier, others would have followed it long ago. When the time comes, it would not be the only choice, and it would not be able to create too many miracles. "
Shen Qian nodded. That was true.
Speaking of OPPO, Shen Qian could not help but say, "A few days ago, I got someone to buy 2% of OPPO's shares. Unfortunately, I've been too busy recently and did not have time to discuss it. Otherwise, we would have been the absolute controlling shareholder. Now that OPPO L01 is so popular, I'm afraid it will not be easy to get the shares in the future. It's a pity to hold 49%. "
Previously, Shen Qian already held 47% of the shares. Now, she held 49%. She was only one step away from the absolute controlling shareholder.
But now that OPPO smartphones were so popular, even if she could get 2% of the shares, the price would not be low.
However, Li Dong did not mind and said, "It's fine. Didn't you see that I control most of OPPO's sales channels? Online and offline, they are all counting on us now. I'll go back and discuss with them to transfer more shares to Far away. Otherwise, we'll cut off their channels and cooperate with others. It's a simple matter. Even if I don't have the absolute controlling shareholder, they won't dare to fall out with me. They would be stupid. "
When Li Dong did things, he would not let others take advantage of him.
The more OPPO phones were sold, the more he would earn.
Even if he did not have the absolute controlling shareholder, he would earn more than the other 51%.
Far away phones were sold at Far Away's factory price, and the selling price was set by Far Away itself.
The cost of a mobile phone was generally not high.
Just like this time, the lowest price was 2,500 yuan. With the government subsidy, it would be about 2,900 yuan.
As it was the first time, the cost was slightly higher. It was about 1,000 yuan.
But this was in terms of the hardware. For domestic phones, the hardware made up one-third of the sales, and that was not a small amount.
Many patents were involved in mobile phones. Unless it was a pirated phone, there was no need to pay patent fees.
If it was a legal manufacturer, they would have to pay.
The expenses in this area were not low. One phone cost about 500 yuan, and this was because the Android system was free.
The total cost was less than 1,500 yuan.
One phone could earn at least 1,400 yuan.
Far Away's profits were about the same as OPPO, 50-50.
But don't forget, OPPO still had about half of Li Dong's shares. In the end, Li Dong would be the biggest winner, and he would get 75% of the profits.
One phone was almost 1,000 yuan. After deducting taxes, labor, logistics, and store costs, Li Dong could earn more than 600 yuan for one phone.
This time, they had sold 2 million phones, and Li Dong had earned 1.2 billion yuan.
The profits would continue to rise in the future. According to Li Dong's estimation, it would take some time for other manufacturers to release their smartphones. For OPPO L01, selling 5 million units was considered low, and it might even exceed 10 million units.
If the sales exceeded 10 million, Li Dong could earn 6 billion yuan from this phone alone.
Of course, not all of this money could be used as dividends. OPPO needed to develop new technologies and patents, and also new models. All these require money.
They had earned a lot, but the biggest possibility was that most of the dividends from OPPO would continue to be invested in production.
Although he said that, Li Dong said, "Think of a way to buy more than 2% back. When the time comes, don't worry about it. We don't want them to have too many shares, and they will not be interested in doing business. At least give them some hope. Once we control the sales channels, we will have absolute control of the company. That's enough. There is no end to the money. "
Chen Lang wanted to spit at him. If that's the case, why are you still fighting with Gome?
If you are willing to give up and hand over Gome to the Huang family, the Huang family might compromise.
But Chen Lang knew that Gome and OPPO were different.
Gome was a supplement to Far Away's retail business, and the Huang family had controlled it for many years. Li Dong had not reached the stage of absolute control, and it was easy for accidents to happen.
Gome did not rely on Far Away, and the online business was not fully integrated.
Such a Gome was not like OPPO, which could be controlled by Li Dong.
Li Dong was not worried about OPPO, but not Gome.
Ignoring what Chen Lang thought, Li Dong smiled. "I made a lot of money today. I'm afraid it's more than 1 billion. I was worried that I had spent too much on Gome. Now that I have gotten back some of my money, I am more confident in the future. And now that things have come to this, I can't keep a low profile even if I wanted to, so I won't keep a low profile anymore! Get ready tomorrow. I will hold a press conference in Xiangjiang the day after tomorrow! "
"Press conference?"
Chen Lang was slightly puzzled. "There is no need for Gome to hold a press conference. Are you going to announce the JPMorgan Chase?"
"No, my fleet is arriving. Let's go to Xiangjiang first!"
Li Dong laughed. "I may enter Xiangjiang in the second half of 2009. I will let the people of Xiangjiang know who I, Li Dong, am! Gome is not my everything! I will let everyone know that when I come back later, it will not be a matter of Gome or a fleet. My online and offline business will enter Xiangjiang together. That is what I want to do! "
Li Dong laughed happily. Shen Qian could not help but laugh. "In the end, it is because of narcissism."
Li Dong's face fell. Silly woman, you are undermining me!
Besides, is it because of narcissism?
I am doing this for the future, to suppress the Huang family's momentum, to increase the chips of Far Away …
In short, there are many reasons.
However, Li Dong was too lazy to explain. After all, what Shen Qian said was the truth.
