February 25th.
Hu Ming really came Far Away to talk to Li Dong about the share transfer.
Although Li Dong agreed last night, when he saw that Hu Xiaorui didn't come, Li Dong couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Hu, did Xiaorui agree to this?"
Hu Ming glanced at him and said with a faint smile, "Of course, I was surprised too. I just said it casually, and Xiaorui agreed. I asked her to come with me, and she said that there was no need to go through so much trouble. I'm very happy that my daughter has completely thought it through. Of course, I think it's better for us to settle this matter as soon as possible. "
Li Dong sighed and nodded slightly, "Okay, but I don't have East Star's shares now. I'll make a call and we'll sign the contract later."
"That's for the best."
Hu Ming had a leisurely look on his face. This time, he really didn't lie.
He originally planned to secretly take over Li Dong's shares, but after thinking about it, it didn't make a difference whether he took it or not. It was better to explain it to his daughter.
He originally thought that his daughter would definitely make a fuss and disagree, but who knew that his daughter would agree as if nothing had happened.
Although he didn't know why his daughter suddenly thought it through, it was a good thing that she thought it through.
However, it was a good thing that he had thought things through. It was better to draw a clear line between him and that bastard Li Dong.
Seeing that Li Dong went to make a call, Hu Ming walked around Li Dong's office.
When Li Dong came back after the call, Hu Ming no longer had the anger and anger from last night. He smiled and said, "You've been doing a lot recently. If you need help, just ask. Even if we can't be relatives, we can still be friends. Of course, just be friends with me. There's no need for anything else. "
Li Dong glanced at him. This old fox is too arrogant.
Li Dong was too lazy to pay attention to him. He drank his tea and casually replied.
After the two finished their cups of tea, there was nothing else to say.
At this time, Bai Su knocked on the door and entered. "General Manager Li, President Shen is here."
"Why is she here …"
Li Dong didn't let Shen Qian come over just now. He quickly stood up and walked out the door.
Before he left, Shen Qian came in and said with a smile, "I heard that Uncle Hu is here. Where is he?"
Hu Ming, who was in the reception area, stood up and chuckled. "Qianqian is too polite. I heard from Li Dong that you're pregnant, so it's better for you to rest at home. Uncle Hu also just found out about this. He didn't know that you were coming. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let you come. By the way, your mother is still in Pingchuan, right? "
"Yes, I'll go back after a while."
Shen Qian smiled and took the initiative to hold Li Dong's arm as they walked towards the reception area.
Hu Ming narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything.
After the two sat down, Hu Ming smiled and said, "Li Dong just said that East Star's shares are not in his hands. Does that mean they are in your hands, Qianqian?"
Shen Qian nodded and said softly, "Uncle Hu, do you really want to buy back the shares? In fact, I think that East Star cooperating with Far Away is the best outcome. Both industries complement each other and can bring greater benefits to each other. Far Away withdraws its shares at this time. I'm afraid the outside world will have some unnecessary speculations. "
Hu Ming smiled faintly. "It's fine as long as it's kept a secret. Li Dong doesn't care about these things anyway. How will the outside world know about this?"
Shen Qian said calmly, "That means that East Star still has to borrow Far Away's reputation?"
Hu Ming frowned slightly and then smiled again. "What are you saying? Of course, if you choose to announce the news, we don't mind."
Shen Qian quickly said, "Uncle Hu, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean that. The key is that East Star still has a series of programs to be released. These programs were decided by Li Dong before and have been arranged. Now that there is a sudden change, I'm worried that there will be some trouble. "
"That won't happen. I said that business is business. The cooperation can continue. It's just a change of shareholders."
Hu Ming cursed in his heart. This girl from the Du family is really good. She's starting to calculate the details with me.
But then again, he was the one who had said that business was business. If they really had to look at the details, East Star had indeed risen by borrowing Distance's reputation. Moreover, the popular TV series and variety shows were all Li Dong's ideas.
Acquiring New Cinema Alliance and entering the northern cinema market was also an agreement reached by Li Dong and the Zhuang family.
Once East Star announced that it would withdraw its shares Far Away now, there would definitely be some unnecessary trouble.
Of course, in fact, Far Away had already withdrawn its shares. The outside world just didn't know about it. The shares had been handed over to Shen Qian previously.
Shen Qian smiled and said, "Then let's do as Uncle Hu said."
As she spoke, Shen Qian picked up the contract brought by Hu Ming and looked at it for a while.
After looking at it, Shen Qian raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "800 million?"
Hu Ming said with a fake smile, "800 million shouldn't be considered low, right? What's more, the bonds are about to mature, and the interest is not a small amount … "
Shen Qian quickly said, "Uncle Hu, don't misunderstand. You said that business is business. There are some things that I still have to make clear, lest you feel that we have taken advantage of you.
East Star Entertainment is now worth 2 billion. I think it's still worth it.
As for Li Dong's investment in East Star, the actual capital injection is nearly 500 million.
Coupled with some of his plans, they have all achieved great success. I don't deny Xiaorui's credit for East Star's current achievements, but Li Dong should also be credited.
If we split it equally, I don't think anyone will take advantage of anyone.
As for the interest on the bonds that you mentioned, there is still more than a year before the bonds mature. The bonds were only issued in April 2007, and it hasn't even been two years.
The interest is only about 50 million.
Over and over again, Li Dong has lost more than 100 million.
Of course, money is not the key. Xiaorui is our friend, and we don't need to be calculative about money.
But you said that business is business, so shouldn't we also make some concessions?
For example, East Star's programs and copyrights. Shouldn't we give Far Away some discounts and additional policies?
Far Away is now vigorously supporting the Internet video industry, and East Star suddenly withdrew. To be honest, it was you who came forward. Otherwise, it should be Far Away buying East Star instead of you buying back East Star's shares … "
"Ahem!"
Li Dong coughed lightly and interrupted Shen Qian's words. Seeing Hu Ming's ugly expression, Li Dong smiled and said, "Uncle Hu, don't mind it. Qianqian is just joking. We have signed the contract. As for the cooperation, as long as East Star is willing, we can continue it. "
Hu Ming recovered his smile and nodded. "Then sign the contract. Do you need a lawyer to take a look?"
"No need. I trust Uncle Hu."
After Li Dong finished speaking, he looked at Shen Qian.
Shen Qian rolled her eyes at him and began to sign and stamp the contract. Without her approval and signature, it was useless for Li Dong to sign it.
After signing the contract, there were still some procedures for the transfer of the bonds. Li Dong was not in a hurry.
Hu Ming took the contract and didn't stay any longer. Soon, he left Far Away.
As soon as he left, Li Dong complained, "What are you doing?"
Shen Qian said angrily, "What are you talking about?
You took the initiative to withdraw the shares, and I don't mind even if you don't take the money!
But now, you are being forced to withdraw the shares, and Hu Ming still has the attitude that you got a big bargain. Why?
Was East Star's current value due to the Hu Clan's efforts?
Let alone half of the shares, you should have 60% of the shares!
Even if it's half, it's 1 billion. Now, he gave you 800 million and sent you away. He even said that he is very fair. This old fox is more treacherous than anyone!
Also, some of the previous variety shows were very popular, and the copyright fees are not small.
In addition, Far Away now needs East Star's support. He suddenly forced us to withdraw the shares. Do you know what he is thinking?
Maybe he feels that he earned too little and wants to make more money from us.
After East Star withdraws the shares, Far Away's entertainment industry will not be complete. Have you thought about this?
I can't stand him. He took advantage of us, but he still feels that he suffered a big loss. "
Li Dong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Since when did you fuss over this? Back then, when I was in trouble, he helped me a lot. He gave me 800 million in cash support, which is not something that anyone can help me with. Just based on this, there is no need to care about this. "
Shen Qian glanced at him and said after a while, "You really don't understand?"
"What?"
"That's because Hu Xiaorui helped you, not this old fox. This old fox knows better than anyone else what he's thinking.
Hu Xiaorui said this, so naturally, there is no need to say anything. Old fox, don't think that he is really helping you. It is just an investment.
Now, it is time to collect the returns.
And the return is not low. If you don't make it clear now, this unscrupulous businessman will come to you later to collect benefits.
He was clearly pretending to be confused, but you actually went along with what he said.
Even if you don't care about money, there is no need to be cheated by this old fox again and again.
If you really have difficulties, you can help.
But if you want to keep asking for returns, there is no need to be polite.
Also, are you willing to withdraw the shares? "
Li Dong laughed and said, "What's there to be unsatisfied about?"
"Hu Xiaorui."
Li Dong said helplessly, "Don't be jealous. Also, why do I feel that you are trying to stir up trouble? There is nothing between me and Xiaorui. "
Shen Qian snorted. "Why would I be jealous?
I just feel that Hu Xiaorui is not easy to get rid of. Now that she suddenly said this, maybe she is holding back.
Anyway, be careful.
Forget it, maybe you are hoping that she has other thoughts.
Let's not talk about this. Withdraw the shares from East Star if you want.
Speaking of which, the last bond issue seemed to be a loss. It has only been a little more than a year, and you have collected 1.5 billion, right? "
Li Dong nodded. Hsu Shengzhe had collected 500 million, Hu Ming's, and Han Yu's.
A total of 3 billion bonds were issued, and he had collected half of it.
Back then, he had worked hard for the bond issue.
Seeing him nod, Shen Qian thought for a moment and said, "If we reach an agreement with Tencent, there will be 4 billion in the account. I suggest that we redeem all the bonds in advance and pay back the rest of the money."
"Huh?"
"Jiangbei's business community supported you last time. The Hu Family's 500 million, Hsu Shengzhe's 300 million, and there is still a debt of 2.2 billion. Together with the 1.5 billion bonds and interest, I suggest you pay it back in advance. "
Li Dong was surprised. "What's wrong?"
"Pay back the Jiangbei business community's money. I don't want you to owe too many favors.
Favors have to be paid back, and it is more terrible than interest.
Because of favors, the Zhou Family took away part of your global procurement channels. Because of favors, you lost East Star Entertainment.
Because of favors, you continue to cooperate with Jin Ding, even if Jin Ding is not the best choice.
Because of favors, you and Hsu Shengzhe exchanged shares. You know whether it is worth it or not.
Next, the longer you owe money, the bigger the favor will be.
In the end, you will be dragged down by these favors.
As for the bonds, redeem them in advance so that you can issue more bonds in the future.
Didn't you say that you want to launch a virtual fund?
Transfer the money back to the company in the name of the bonds. This way, you can pay back another favor. Don't forget that some of the remaining bonds are from Jiangbei's business community.
Rather than using Jiangbei's money, it is better to use Wan Tong's money.
You are under more and more pressure now, and I can't bear to see them use favors to force you to give in. "
Li Dong chuckled. "Not to that extent. We are just helping each other. At that time, I did need their help. Isn't it burning the bridge after crossing the river if you cut it in half? "
Shen Qian explained, "I'm not saying that you shouldn't repay them, nor am I saying that you don't want to acknowledge this favor. Most importantly, there was no need to drag on the debt of gratitude that wasn't necessary. The longer you drag on, the more you will owe them. This time, Hu Ming used Hu Xiaorui's name to kick you out. I feel a little uncomfortable. "
Seeing that she was still a little indignant, Li Dong gently stroked her back and chuckled, "Calm down, there's nothing wrong with it. Didn't I make a lot of money? 500 million investment, and it became 800 million in less than two years. Furthermore, East Star belongs to Xiaorui, not the Old Fox. Alright, you don't have to worry about these things. Maintain a good mood. It's not good to be angry. "
"I am not angry."
Shen Qian was not angry, but she still snorted. "I just can't stand them bullying you!"
Li Dong laughed. "Who is bullying me?
Who dares to bully me?
I am the one bullying others. When will it be their turn to bully me?
Alright, alright. I will listen to you. When the money is in my account, I will pay off these debts.
You are right. It is better to owe money to the bank and the government. It is indeed troublesome to owe money to private individuals.
When the Tencent arrives, I will pay off these debts.
Oh, are you going to return the money to Baidu? "
Shen Qian thought for a while and said. "Pay it back if you can. Li Yanhong is not looking for you to settle these debts now, but there might be big trouble waiting for you in the future."
"That's fine too. Let's settle all the accounts first.
When the subsidiary company's planning is completed, the company's accounts will be clearer.
Also, get your money back as soon as possible. I still have 1.5 billion worth of corporate bonds, and I need to settle them.
Hu Ming and Xiaorui's 500 million is also the company's debt, and we don't need to pay for it personally.
When we get back, we'll bring this money to you and sort out our finances.
At this point, we still have to hide our shortcomings. My current funds have been calculated by others, and it will be difficult for me to do anything. "
Li Dong spoke from the bottom of his heart.
Because his personal wealth and the company's wealth are mixed together, even if he has other thoughts, he can only do it openly. He has no money to use in private.
Currently, there are not many drawbacks, but if this goes on, there will be more drawbacks.
Shen Qian suggested that they settle their personal debts first. This was something that should be done.
This is to prevent any problems from happening. Far Away is not enough, and he still has to bear a huge debt. This is not Li Dong's original intention.
Far Away is getting bigger, and more partners are introduced. From now on, Li Dong must distinguish what belongs to the company and what belongs to him.
If it is the same as before, there will be big trouble sooner or later.
Other than Far Away, Li Dong's personal wealth is not as much as Ma Huateng and the rest.
They received dividends and salaries, and the division between themselves and the company was clear.
Li Dong, on the other hand, had actually invested all of his dividends into Distance. He had also personally earned tens of billions of yuan and invested all of it.
If Far Away is gone now, Li Dong will not only lose a Faraway Group, but he will also lose tens of billions.
At that time, no one will calculate the money you invested and the company's money. It should be clear.
Thinking of this, Li Dong did not say anything. The problem is not big for the time being. Before introducing other partners, it is fine to solve this.
At least, Far Away is his own.
