The conversation with Hong Ji did not meet Li Dong's expectations.
In fact, this was normal. It was not easy for a state-owned enterprise to exchange assets with a private company.
There were too many factors to consider. Even if Hong Ji was willing, it might not work out in the end.
After sending Hong Ji off, Chen Lang walked in and asked softly. "It didn't work out, right?"
Li Dong shook his head. "Of course. If it doesn't work out, Wumart will.
But Wumart is also hesitant. After all, the value of our assets in Beijing is not low. Even if we exclude Gome and Far away City, the total value is close to 5 billion.
How much is Wumart's market value now?
Although it is affected by the environment, it is a fact that Wumart's market value is low. Once we merge with Wumart, we may own more than half of their shares.
After such a large-scale reorganization, we will become the head of Wumart.
They will definitely hesitate, and we do not have the capital to buy them out with cash.
In fact, I am the one who is in a difficult position now.
If it really does not work, we will cut them off.
Gao Xin, China Resources, Wumart, and some small and medium-sized enterprises will all sell a part of their assets. Although it will be more troublesome than selling all of their assets, and the value will be discounted.
But in the end, we will not lose too much. "
Chen Lang was still a little reluctant. "General Manager Li, can we really not continue?"
The Beijing area was the core of the North. Giving it up would affect the scale and influence of the entire North market.
It was not easy to build a foundation in Beijing. Who would be willing to give it up now?!
Chen Lang was unwilling. Sun Tao was unwilling. Wang Yue was unwilling. Yuan Chengdao was also unwilling.
Chen Lang continued. "General Manager Li, I think we can still persevere. At most, we will keep a low profile. In a year or two, we will be able to do what we want without any qualms. "
Li Dong laughed. "In a year or two?
Wouldn't it be better for me to come back in a year or two?
When the online scale reaches one-third of the offline scale, the offline shops will have a hard time.
At this time, instead of choosing to keep a low profile, it is better to sell it. We can also raise some funds to continue expanding in other areas.
We need a lot of money now. Do you think it is better for us to come back in a year or two, or to live with our tails between our legs now?
I don't want to live with my tail between my legs.
Every time I make a move, I have to consider whether or not it will affect Old Du. This will cause me to miss many opportunities and give me a headache.
It was the same for him. This was a dilemma.
Why don't you talk to Old Du and ask him to step down? "
Chen Lang smiled bitterly. You still have the mood to joke around at a time like this.
Should I ask Old Du to step down?
What a joke!
Chen Lang sighed and went silent for a moment before he said, "Then are you sure you want to withdraw?"
"Yes."
"In this case, let me talk to them. I am familiar with Huarun Resources and Wumart.
We don't necessarily have to transfer it to one family. In fact, I feel that we should balance out the power. Whoever is weaker in Beijing will have more assets transferred to us.
Moreover, it was best to screen them one by one. If they sold them as a whole, there would definitely be overlapping stores.
We can choose stores that do not overlap with each other and transfer them to the companies that need this market. We can then sell them in batches. In the end, the retail companies in Beijing will be in a chaotic battle, and no one will be able to gain an advantage.
This way, it will be easier for us to kill our way back.
Otherwise, if they become big, even if the market is depressed like you said, they will not give in.
In two days, I will personally make a trip to Beijing for a field trip.
There are too many businesses, and none of them can afford it.
But if we do it in batches, I think it will be much easier.
We can even consider some of the small and medium-sized enterprises.
Including the foreign companies! "
Li Dong frowned slightly. "I agree with what you said earlier. It is more comprehensive than I thought. But we can't transfer it to foreign companies. I rose to power by defeating foreign companies. If we compromise with foreign companies now, the impact will be too great. There are so many retail companies in Beijing, and there is no need to look for foreign companies. "
"But this way, we will not be able to maximize our profits …"
"We will definitely lose some of them. I am prepared. You, Qi Yunna, CEO Yuan, and CEO Sun will discuss this matter. This matter is settled. "
Chen Lang nodded. At this time, he could not change Li Dong's decision.
…
That night, the headquarters of Huarun Resources was shaken.
Hong Ji did not dare to make a decision on his own. This matter was not up to him, and he could not hide it.
Far away was preparing to leave Beijing. It was no longer a rumor. Li Dong had this plan. This news was too important!
When he left the club, he called the company and told them about the meeting with Li Dong.
Soon, Huarun Resources responded. Regardless of whether it was true or not, they must delay Li Dong first!
Regardless of whether they were really going to sell, Huarun Resources had not made a decision and was not ready. Before that, they must not let Li Dong reach a cooperation agreement with other companies.
Otherwise, Huarun Resources would be in a passive position.
Why did Huarun Resources do this when they had just replaced some of Bailian's businesses in the north?
It was because they wanted to expand their business in the north. If this happened now, it was likely to cause a chain reaction and cause Huarun Resources' strategy to fall short.
At this moment, even Li Dong's retail alliance was no longer important.
There was still a long way to go for the retail alliance to become a fighting force.
Far away's businesses in Beijing had been taken over by others, and Far away's industrial chain would soon become a new fighting force.
Especially when Huarun had taken the initiative to withdraw, it would be much easier for both parties to hand over their businesses.
Huarun Resources did not want this to happen!
For Huarun Resources, the retail industry was not their everything.
But in the past few years, because of Far away's expansion, Huarun Resources was also expanding. In addition, all the retail companies had formed a tacit understanding to attack foreign companies and seize the market share. In fact, the market share of Hua Xia's retail companies was a little bigger than in Feng Yu's previous life.
A retail group with revenues of nearly 100 billion was no longer insignificant.
In the entire Huarun Resources system, Huachuang was becoming more and more important than in Feng Yu's previous life.
Far away was going to withdraw, and Huarun Resources could not ignore it.
…
Not only Huarun Resources, but Wumart's shareholders were also in an emergency meeting.
Cheng Gang, who was far away in Beijing, also received the news.
When Cheng Gang heard the news, his first reaction was that it was impossible. Then he thought that Li Dong had stepped up his pressure on Huarun.
Far away had heard that Huarun was going to weaken the investment in the north and turn to Shanghai.
Many people felt that Li Dong was forcing some people to give in.
Now, Huarun was just stepping up his pressure.
Cheng Gang frowned and murmured. "Isn't he afraid that it will be hard for him to back down?"
Li Dong had gone too far when things had come to this.
Even those who were going to give in to Huarun Resources would not give in when they saw Huarun was pressing them.
Cheng Gang had never seen such a strong company. So what if it was tens of billions of investments?
Things could be discussed, but Li Dong was too lazy to even discuss it. He was going to be tough to the end. This guy was still as strong as ever.
Cheng Gang shook his head. When he heard that Huarun was going to set up a retail alliance, he thought Huarun had learned to compromise. But now, it seemed that Huarun was still stubborn.
Cheng Gang did not think too much about it. After all, this had nothing to do with him.
Ever since his plan to enter Gome was thwarted, Huarun Resources' attitude was unclear, and Bailian was incompetent. Now, Cheng Gang did not have much hope of controlling half of Hua Xia's retail industry.
Also, because of other reasons, he was not in the mood to climb up the ladder.
If Li Dong wanted to torment himself, then let him torment himself.
Cheng Gang thought to himself. This bastard better torture himself to death. Every time Cheng Gang heard news about Huarun Resources, he would have goosebumps and felt very uncomfortable.
…
The news of Li Dong's evacuation from Beijing had not been confirmed yet.
It was not good for the major companies to spread the news.
What's more, it was too late to keep this a secret. Unless there was no other way, the companies would not disclose it to the public.
It was beneficial for them to figure out the layout of Far away first. It would allow them to set up their plans in a leisurely manner. So, except for a few people, most people did not know about the evacuation of Far away.
Li Dong was also aware of this and did not care much about it.
If Huarun Resources was a private company, it would be impossible for the news to be leaked.
Even if the news was leaked, it would be limited. Also, Huarun was not very clear about what he was thinking.
Of course, the companies that were interested in him would take the initiative to talk to him.
This was not something that could be done in a day or two. Even if it was not like what Hong Ji had said, it would take a year or two to make a decision.
Li Dong did not care about this. The Annual Gala was approaching, and he was not in the mood to consider what others were thinking.
…
February 14th.
Valentine's Day.
Li Dong did not care much about these Western festivals. But on the morning of the 14th, Li Dong still tidied up neatly and tidied up his hair again and again.
In the end, Shen Qian could not stand it anymore and said helplessly, "That's enough. Even a mosquito can't stand still."
Li Dong laughed and said, "I'm a little nervous. This is a live broadcast. You can just do it for the Annual Gala. Why do you have to do a live broadcast? If too many people watch and I say something wrong, I will be finished. "
Shen Qian did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Didn't you say you want to do a live broadcast? To let the public see the grand occasion of Far away? "
"Really?"
Li Dong was puzzled. "I don't really remember."
"You're really good!"
Li Dong did not care about this. He looked at Shen Qian and said, "Pack up and bring my parents, Stone, Xiaoyu, and the others. We'll go together tonight."
"We're going too?" Shen Qian asked curiously. "Is it appropriate for us to go?"
"Today is Valentine's Day. Far away said that we can bring our families. The employees have brought their families. It's not appropriate for me, as the CEO, to not bring my family. Let's go and watch and join in the fun … "
Seeing that Shen Qian was still hesitating, Li Dong coughed and said, "CEO Qin resigned two days ago."
"So fast!"
Shen Qian was surprised. "He didn't even go to the Annual Gala?"
Li Dong said softly, "He said that since he left, there was no need to show up at the last moment. He also took the opportunity of the Annual Gala to let the employees know that the CEO of the Logistics Group has changed. I thought about it and did not reject it. It's better to let everyone accept it quietly than to suddenly announce the news. "
Shen Qian frowned slightly and said, "Is there any problem with the Logistics Group?"
"It's fine. It's not a big problem for now. We'll see. Also, after the Annual Gala, Far Away Airlines will officially fly. With the establishment of the airline, we can minimize the impact of the change of CEO. "
Shen Qian thought about it. Since Qin Hai was not going, it would not be so awkward.
She rejected it at first because she thought that if she went, Li Dong would not be able to handle himself.
Now that Qin Hai was not there, and the employees had brought their families, it was not impossible for her to go and see.
Thinking of this, Shen Qian nodded and said, "Okay, you do what you need to do. I'll go and pick up Uncle and Auntie. Stone and Xiaoyu are not going to school today. I'll bring them to see you in the afternoon."
"Okay, then I'll go to the company first. I have to go to Pingchuan Sports Center later. There are many people today. I don't want any trouble. The city government has mobilized thousands of police to maintain order. I have to go to the government to thank them. "
As he spoke, Li Dong touched his chin and said, "Speaking of which, the person in charge of communicating with Far Away is Shi Guanglin. Do you think I should beat him up later?"
Shen Qian could not be bothered with him. She packed her things and said perfunctorily, "Okay, if you're not afraid of not being able to walk out of the city government, go beat him up. I don't know what to say when you're so narrow-minded. "
Li Dong said embarrassedly, "How am I narrow-minded? This guy is really annoying. It's just an Annual Gala, and he has led a team to Far Away for several safety meetings. I can't be bothered with him, but he still wants to talk to me. I don't have the time to talk to him. "
Shen Qian did not reply. Wasn't this nonsense?
It was a gathering of nearly 100,000 people. Shi Guanglin had to keep a close eye on it. If something happened, his future would be gone.
Li Dong had nothing better to do. He just had to find a topic to talk about to make his presence known.
Seeing that Shen Qian did not reply, Li Dong was also a little bored. He pouted and said, "That's true. Why bother with him? There are many people watching my wife. Let him be envious."
Shen Qian said angrily, "There are even more people watching you. Should I pull them out one by one and beat them up? Alright, don't look for trouble. Are you going to the company? It'll be too late if you don't go now. "
"Yes, I have to go. Call me when you arrive. I'll get someone to pick you up."
Li Dong looked at the time and hurried out.
Shen Qian waited for him to leave before laughing and shaking her head. This guy said that she had PMS. He should be the one coming.
