After talking to Liu Hong and the rest, Li Dong did not return to the office.
Lanshan Villa wasn't too far from here, so Li Dong took a detour to Lanshan Villa.
…
Lanshan Villa.
When Li Dong arrived, Shen Qian and Shen Xuehua were packing their luggage.
Li Dong could not help but say, "Aunt Shen, what are you …"
Although he had called her 'Mom' previously, it was only to relieve Shen Qian's stress.
If he really chased after Shen Xuehua and called her 'Mom' every day, Li Dong really could not bring himself to do so. The next day, he changed back to how he addressed her.
After he changed the way he addressed her, Shen Xuehua also heaved a sigh of relief. Otherwise, she would also feel a little awkward being called 'Mom' by Li Dong.
Seeing that Li Dong had returned, Shen Xuehua said with a smile, "I'll be back in Beijing tomorrow. Now that you and your parents know about Qianqian's pregnancy, I feel a lot more at ease. I've been in Pingchuan for some time now, and it's not convenient for your Uncle Du to be there alone. "
Shen Qian added with a smile, "My mom misses my dad."
"This child!"
Shen Xuehua rolled her eyes at her daughter, then said, "Your Uncle Du has been too busy recently. I'm afraid he doesn't even have time to eat. He's not young to begin with, and he doesn't know how to take care of himself. I'll go back and take a look. You have to take care of Qianqian. "
Shen Qian said in annoyance, "Mom, I'm like a child. Can't I even take care of myself?"
Shen Xuehua said dotingly, "How can it be the same? You, don't force yourself. I'll come back after some time. "
"Aunt Shen, don't worry. I'll definitely take good care of Qianqian."
Li Dong immediately replied. However, just as he finished speaking, Shen Xuehua said, "You should just take care of yourself. It's a good thing that you don't hurt Qianqian."
Li Dong's face darkened. Weren't you the one who asked me to take care of her?
In the blink of an eye, he was already picking faults?
Shen Qian, who was at the side, couldn't help but burst into laughter. She made a few jokes before everyone finally calmed down.
…
That night, Du Anmin also took the initiative to call.
He didn't say much. After showing some concern for Shen Qian, he told Li Dong that the two security guards he had introduced to him last time would come over tomorrow.
…
March 6th.
Li Dong was supposed to meet Old Du's two security personnel today, but early in the morning, Bai Su called to inform him that Cao Jinsheng had returned.
Since Far Away established 18 subsidiaries not long ago, Cao Jinsheng began to change his position from business group CEO to subsidiary general manager.
Although Far Away Financial Limited Company was not well-known in the country, it was definitely not an existence that could be ignored.
Since 2008, when Li Dong used the banner of Internet finance at the Internet Conference, accompanied by the issuance of Internet payment licenses by the Central Bank, this series of changes meant that the Internet finance industry was on the right track.
However, on the right track, it did not mean that Internet finance had become the mainstream of the financial industry.
Currently, none of the IT giants had set foot in the fund industry.
However, following Li Dong's introduction of the term "virtual currency fund," today, Far Away, Ali, and Tencent all began to contact fund companies.
Compared to the other two, Far Away, because Li Dong had chosen a partner in advance, actually had the fastest progress in negotiations.
…
When Li Dong arrived at the company, Cao Jinsheng was already waiting in Li Dong's office.
When Li Dong entered the office, Cao Jinsheng was not in a hurry to speak.
After Li Dong took off his jacket and Bai Su entered with tea, Cao Jinsheng said, "General Manager Li, the cooperation plan with Tianhong Fund is almost done."
"Let me see the document."
Cao Jinsheng immediately handed over the document in his hand.
Li Dong glanced at it, looked up and asked, "Is Tianhong considered big or small?"
He was not a professional and did not know much about these things.
However, on the first page of the document was the statistics of Tianhong Fund's assets under management.
As of February 2009, Tianhong Fund's total assets under management was 4.2 billion.
In Li Dong's opinion, this number was far too weak.
In fact, he did not know much about this industry, but Li Dong knew that when Yu 'e Bao appeared in the future, Tianhong Fund's assets under management had exceeded 500 billion, and soon after, it had exceeded one trillion.
Compared to the current 4.2 billion, it was incomparable.
However, Tianhong Fund was one of the few fund companies that had obtained a public fund license. In Li Dong's opinion, no matter how weak it was, it should not be this weak.
What did this mean?
It meant that the current scale of this industry should not be big.
As expected, Cao Jinsheng immediately said, "The scale is considered weak, but not the weakest. The key is that Hua Xia does not approve of the fund management model.
Especially since 2008, when the stock market plunged, some stock fund companies suffered heavy losses.
This caused the whole industry to be in a slump.
Currently, the number one fund, Hua Xia Fund, only has 200 billion assets under management.
The number two fund, Yi Fangda Fund, has less than 150 billion.
Of course, compared to these fund companies, Tianhong is still very weak.
The key is that our goal is to borrow money from the back door, and it is not easy to get a public fund license.
It will be troublesome if we prepare it ourselves.
It is worth it to invest in a small, unknown public fund company with a strong background.
General Manager Li's foresight is superior. Even if the other public fund companies are stronger than Tianhong, it will be difficult to control them.
Tianhong is easier to control than those fund companies. "
Li Dong smiled and did not say anything. He continued to read the document.
At the end, Li Dong raised his head again and asked, "220 million? Is it too high or too low? "
According to the initial agreement, Tianhong's current registered capital is 100 million RMB.
Far away invested 220 million and subscribed to the registered capital of 105 million.
This is considered a capital increase. After the capital increase, the total registered capital will be 205 million. Far away accounted for 51.2% of the shares.
Of course, the registered capital does not represent the total assets or net assets.
Far away may seem to have spent 220 million to increase the registered capital of 105 million, which is a loss of more than 100 million. But in fact, this is not how it is calculated.
The reason why they did not directly purchase shares or shares, but increased the registered capital is also a requirement of the policy.
This type of fund company is more suitable to be a controlling shareholder.
Cao Jinsheng immediately said, "It's a little too high. Tianhong has not been making profits for the past few years, and we did not add many fixed assets and intangible assets. The key is the public fund license and the time we are requesting. Tianhong has also promised that they will overcome the CSRC hurdle and strive to pass it as soon as possible. As for the launch of the new fund, we will let them handle it. I guarantee that it will pass the review. "
Li Dong laughed. "The scale is small, but the tone is big. Seems like it's different with the government backing them."
Currently, Tianhong has not introduced Junzheng yet, and it is still the original three shareholders.
Weapons Finance, Jinmen Trust, and Zhangze Electric Power are the original three shareholders of Tianhong Fund.
Now that Li Dong entered and paid 220 million RMB to obtain the controlling stake of Tianhong Fund, the three shareholders did not have much of an opinion.
On one hand, Tianhong is very small now, and there is almost no profit.
On the other hand, Zhangze Electric Power had been talking about withdrawing last year, and the other two shareholders do not want to take over. Now that Li Dong is here, it's just in time.
Of course, from afar, Zhangze Electric Power suddenly changed its mind and stopped refunding!
Far away did not have any opinion on this.
Although the other two shareholders despised them, they could not really chase them away.
If it were them, they would not withdraw either.
Although Li Dong is not very courteous to state-owned enterprises, he has many ideas to make money, and he always makes money without exception.
Far away has chosen to enter Tianhong Fund, there must be something up his sleeve.
If I work with Li Dong, I might be able to make a fortune.
State-owned enterprises are also enterprises, and all enterprises want to make money. If they really do not want to make money, why would the military groups set up Weapons Finance?
Who can make the most money in the country, or even the world?
It's Li Dong!
Therefore, Far Away is relatively relaxed when it comes to getting the controlling stake.
If it were any other ordinary person or enterprise, they would not agree to be controlled by external investors in just a few days, unless they really can't sustain themselves anymore.
220 million RMB is still within Li Dong's acceptable range.
It is not a lot, but it is not low either.
Even though Li Dong could easily say billions or tens of billions now, it also depended on who he was talking to.
The most valuable asset of Tianhong Fund at the moment was actually their license.
If Li Dong really wanted to take it, it was not necessarily impossible.
But Li Dong had said before that getting the license is not the key. The key is to bind a few stakeholders.
The three original shareholders of Tianhong Fund have strong connections in the government.
With them as a shield, it can save Li Dong a lot of trouble.
As for how much the fund company earns, Li Dong does not care. It is fine as long as there is money to be made. The key is to control the scale of the fund.
Since Cao Jinsheng said 220 million RMB is not a big loss, Li Dong did not probe further. He immediately said, "Hurry up and sign the contract, and settle the controlling stake.
It is a little troublesome for us to deal with this. Let them do it quickly.
Tell them to work with me, Li Dong, and they will definitely make money.
But they have to listen to me!
Some tricks don't need to be used on me. There are so many fund companies in the country, and I don't need them.
There are many people who want to work with me, Li Dong, and Tianhong Fund does not have an absolute advantage.
Even if I invest in Hua Xia Fund, they will not have any objections.
Today is the 6th of March, and I want to see the contract come into effect before the 15th.
We will not interfere with Tianjin and the CSRC, and let them handle it. "
This concerns finance and state-owned assets, and the local government and the CSRC must approve it before Far away and Tianhong can take effect.
As for the efficiency, it depends on the person.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Ali nearly fell into despair because of the efficiency issue. The controlling stake took more than a year to complete.
Li Dong will not stand on ceremony with them. If you want to make money, you have to put in the effort.
Whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, it is not comfortable to count the money without working.
Cao Jinsheng nodded. "I will call them immediately. It should not be a problem to complete it on the 15th. Strive to complete the fund model by the end of the month and connect to the Universal Card. If everything goes well, it should not be a problem for Yu 'e Bao to go online in May. "
Li Dong glanced at him and snorted. "Next time, don't use words like 'strive' or 'should'. What I want is absolute! Even if you can't do it, it is your responsibility! Don't be vague with me. Far away's finance is the key to Far Away's future development! If you, the Sect Leader, don't have this confidence, then step aside. What I need is not a group of comrades who only know how to shirk responsibility! "
"Understood, I will definitely complete the task!"
Cao Jinsheng quickly responded. Perhaps it was because he did not have much contact with Li Dong, and he had already made this mistake once.
Now that he was warned by Li Dong again, Cao Jinsheng was a little wary.
If it happened again, it was not impossible for him to be kicked out by Li Dong.
Far Away's finance business occupied the first place on the Universal Card, and after Yu 'e Bao was released, it will definitely be the core business of the internet industry.
Li Dong was also counting on the development of Far Away's industry.
As the boss of a subsidiary company, his reputation might even overshadow Liu Hong's. If he was kicked out at this time, it would be a tragedy.
"It's good that you know. Go ahead."
Li Dong said, "Is there a problem with the funds?"
Cao Jinsheng immediately said, "There is a slight problem. The key is not this, but we are now promoting the offline payment business, and we are burning money every day. Moreover, we have also reduced the fees for the merchants in the early stage, so there is not much surplus. At present, we are unable to make ends meet. Two days ago, I made a report to CEO Liu and CEO Yuan, and the group is thinking of ways to raise funds. "
The internet industry was burning money in the early stage.
Promotion, layout, operation, infrastructure, all these needed money to support.
Universal Card had not reached the point of profitability yet. Even if there was a lot of deposited funds, there was no profit.
The previously deposited funds also had interest, but this interest was currently used by Li Dong as the user's balance transfer fee to settle the cash withdrawal fee.
The regulatory authorities did not say anything about this.
Far Away could not use the previous interest, and they could not use it, so it was all placed in the bank to earn interest.
Now, it just so happened that the users benefited, the bank benefited, and Far Away also benefited. It could be considered a win-win situation, so Far Away's plan was quickly approved.
The interest had a place to go, the advertising income was currently small, and the promotion was currently mainly free. Universal Card really did not have much profit.
Now that they had started to promote the offline payment business, the funding gap was not small.
Li Dong heard this and frowned slightly. He thought for a while and said, "Tencent's first phase of one billion will be in the account soon. For the time being, it should be enough to use this money. Go and tell CEO Yuan, and then come to me directly for approval. "
Cao Jinsheng was instantly overjoyed, and quickly said, "Okay, I will go and make the plan immediately."
"Go."
…
After sending Cao Jinsheng away, Li Dong also slightly breathed a sigh of relief.
The matter of the fund company was considered resolved.
After completing the controlling stake, he just had to wait for Yu 'e Bao to go online.
Of course, as for how to promote, how to do risk control, how to establish a credit system, how to operate the funds, these were all matters for later. For the time being, Li Dong could not be bothered to think about these.
In fact, it was not difficult to achieve returns of less than 10%.
For fund companies with a large amount of funds in their hands, as long as they did not pursue high returns, whether it was central bank notes, large amounts of negotiable certificates of deposit, or some low-risk bonds …
Investing in these projects would not be high, but it would not be difficult for them to be much higher than the bank interest.
Li Dong did not really want to make a lot of money for the fund company. That was not his original intention. As long as the risk was small and the returns were okay, that was enough.
The key was to attract more funds so that Far away would not have to worry about money every time.
Recently, many projects Far away had been affected, and the key was that there was not enough funds.
Otherwise, Li Dong would have started a large-scale operation long ago.
Not long after Cao Jinsheng left, Bai Su came in and reported, "General Manager Li, CEO Qi is back."
"Let her in!"
Li Dong said and stood up. After a while, Qi Yunna walked in.
As soon as she entered, Li Dong said, "I'll get straight to the point. If you don't want to be the department store's CEO, then I'll immediately confirm a new candidate.
Right now, the group has a lot of things to do. The department store business is also our main business, and we can't continue to delay it.
If you want to stay in North China, then fine. You will be the department store's North China CEO.
And in North China, there will be separate Gome Electronics North China CEO, Far away Technology North China CEO, Far away Logistics North China CEO …
The business will be completely divided and refined. You will no longer be the only helmsman in North China.
And the department store's North China CEO will be tentatively level six. "
The words level six caused Qi Yunna's expression to change slightly.
In Faraway Group, level seven and above was the senior management.
And level six could only be considered middle management.
Currently, after Li Dong made a reform, Far away's position was level ten. Yuan Chengdao was the only level ten, and the rest of the directors were level nine.
Below that, the subsidiary group's CEO and some important department directors at the headquarters were set at level eight.
The subsidiary's CEO was level seven.
The subsidiary's vice president and the subsidiary's regional CEO were downgraded to level six.
And previously, Qi Yunna's position was even set at level eight. Later, it was adjusted to level seven. But no matter what, she was still a senior management in the group.
Now, if she didn't move up and become the subsidiary's CEO, she would still maintain her level seven position, but her real power would be greatly increased.
Or if she stayed in North China, she would be demoted to middle management.
The meaning of Li Dong's words was clear. He would no longer make an exception for her. She would be at the same level as she should be.
Currently, in the group, the only one who could enjoy special treatment was Wang Yue.
Although she was temporarily in charge of Gome, her position remained at level nine and had not been downgraded.
But Wang Yue was a special case. She had previously served as the group's vice president and a member of the board of directors. Going to Gome was a mission in the face of danger, not a punishment for a mistake.
Qi Yunna took a deep breath and said after a while, "General Manager Li, I still want to stay in North China."
Li Dong glanced at her and said after a while, "Okay, go and report to Chen Lang. When the general manager of the department store is appointed, you can go and report to him directly."
The subsidiary's regional CEO clearly didn't have the right to directly report to Li Dong.
Not only could she not look for Li Dong, but looking for Chen Lang would be considered skipping ranks.
Qi Yunna insisted on it, and Li Dong didn't stop her.
Be it stubbornness, perseverance, or putting on a show, Li Dong didn't care.
He gave Qi Yunna a chance. Qi Yunna gave up on it herself, so he couldn't force her.
Although he also wanted these veterans who fought with him to be able to reach higher positions, he also hoped that Qi Yunna, a direct descendant, would be able to reach higher positions.
But Li Dong wouldn't force her. Everyone had their own choice.
Qi Yunna didn't say anything else. She nodded lightly and said, "General Manager Li, then I won't disturb you anymore. I'll head over first."
"Go."
Li Dong said. When Qi Yunna walked to the door, Li Dong suddenly said, "I heard you're divorced?"
"Yes."
"I'm sorry."
Li Dong said sorry. If outsiders heard it, they would probably find it strange. What did Qi Yunna's divorce have to do with Li Dong?
But there were some things that Li Dong really felt that he should say sorry.
He didn't want to get to the bottom of why Qi Yunna had divorced. He just felt a little apologetic. Then he would say sorry. This was what he thought from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, Li Dong didn't need to hide anything.
Qi Yunna smiled lightly and said, "General Manager Li, this is my private life. It has nothing to do with you. You don't need to apologize. Maybe this is also a kind of relief for me. "
"I hope so."
Li Dong smiled and didn't say anything else.
And Qi Yunna didn't stay any longer. She opened the door and left.
After Qi Yunna left, Li Dong pondered for a while. Then, he called Bai Su in and said, "Inform Chen Lang that the general manager of the department store is confirmed to be Zhang Mingduo. The general manager of the North China area is Qi Yunna. The general manager of the Shanghai area, Chen Ying, has been promoted to the general manager of the East China area. Didn't you say that they were the two beauties of Far Away Retail? Okay, now I'll give them a fair stage to compete. I want to see whether the veterans who have followed Far Away all the way are stronger or the elites cultivated by Carrefour are stronger. Remember to compile all the data for me this year for the department store business in East China and North China. Remind me at the end of the year. "
Bai Su responded, but she was a little hesitant to speak.
At the end of the year, she might not still be here.
But now that she wanted to change positions, it happened to be the busiest time in the company. It was better not to cause trouble for Li Dong. It wouldn't be too late to talk about this later when she was free.
