Qin Yuhan, who was far away in Shanghai, received five million in financing and continued to lay out channels and build a platform. The country's first large-scale F&B O2O platform would soon be launched.
At this time, there were already some similar F&B platforms in China, but the scale was very small.
Li Dong, who was in Jiangbei, did nothing else but urged the group to repay the debt.
As early as last month, Li Dong had been urging Far Away to repay the debt.
Three billion in Jiangbei's business debt, three billion in corporate bonds plus nearly three hundred million in interest and liquidated damages, and there was also the 1.6 billion lent by Shen Qian. The total debt was as high as 7.9 billion. Under Li Dong's urging, Far Away Group began to repay the debt in advance after the sale of the stores in Beijing was received.
This debt of 7.9 billion, of which Li Dong used nearly 1.5 billion of the group's funds.
After deducting this money, Far Away Holdings still had to repay 6.4 billion in debt.
In fact, this 7.9 billion debt was all owed by Far Away Retail Group. Therefore, Far Away Retail Group did indeed repay 7.9 billion.
Of which, 1.5 billion went into Far Away Holdings, and the remaining 6.4 billion was returned.
As for the three billion in corporate bonds, Li Dong had actually gotten back 1.5 billion, but part of the funds came from the group.
Last time, East Star bought back the shares in Li Dong's hands, and Hsu Shengzhe exchanged the shares of Far Away Retail Group, which also deducted a lot of funds.
The final sum was 6.4 billion yuan, 3.9 billion of which was used to pay off the debt.
The remaining 2.5 billion was put into Li Dong's private account in the name of debt repayment.
…
Far Away Building.
It had been more than five years!
For the first time, Li Dong felt that he had become a rich man!
Regardless of the other people's expressions, Li Dong said with a sigh, "Billions and trillions, the richest man in the world. It sounds nice, but all these years, I've been living in poverty. Even when I send red packets, I have to count my fingers before I send them. After so many years, I finally have some savings. "
Of the 2.5 billion, 1.8 billion belonged to Shen Qian, and the rest was his.
Shen Qian took out 1 billion yuan in cash and 600 million yuan worth of shares for the acquisition of Gome. She also paid back the 200 million yuan to Hu Xiaorui. Li Dong definitely wouldn't take this money personally.
But even after returning the 1.8 billion to Shen Qian, Li Dong still had 700 million yuan available to him!
Li Dong wasn't lying. After so many years, this was indeed the first time he was so well-off.
In the past, regardless of whether it was the money he earned from the stock market or the group, he had not used them. Almost all of them were invested Far away.
So far away, he was on the right track. This time, the 700 million belonged to him.
Li Dong, who was known as the richest man in the world, could actually only use 700 million yuan, which was about 100 million USD.
Li Dong sighed, while Chen Lang's face darkened. After a while, he said, "General Manager Li, the retail group's funds in Beijing, including the funds in Gome's account, are almost all gone!
Nearly 8 billion yuan was spent, and now, the retail group's account is empty.
Our boutique supermarket, including Director Sun's plan to go south, has no money to develop.
Also, now is the time for the home appliances to go to the countryside. The original plan for Gome to go to the countryside has been put on hold due to the lack of funds.
Suning and the other distribution channels, including Haier and the Association, are now setting up their own distribution channels in the villages and towns.
Only we are lagging behind. "
Seeing the resentment on Chen Lang's face, Li Dong chuckled. "It's only 8 billion yuan. At least the retail group's debt has been reduced by 8 billion yuan.
Currently, our retail group's total assets are more than 13 billion yuan, and our debt is only about 30 billion yuan. The debt ratio is not high.
Didn't I ask you to issue another 10 billion yuan bond in the retail group's name?
Yu 'e Bao went online in May. According to my calculations, it will take at least half a month to accumulate at least 10 billion yuan, or even more.
Later on, you will have money.
In the south, Director Sun doesn't need money now, and his current goal is not to expand.
There's no need to worry about the boutique supermarket. The key is Gome's distribution channels in the countryside.
The money will not be in a day. The retail group hasn't made any big moves recently, and the profits are used to set up outlets in the countryside. It should be enough. "
Chen Lang was helpless, but he didn't say anything.
The money had been returned, so what was there to say now?
Just as Li Dong said, the retail group's debt ratio had been reduced by a lot after paying off 8 billion yuan of debt.
At this time, the difficulty of getting loans or issuing corporate bonds will be reduced.
Li Dong didn't continue talking about the retail group. He looked at Liu Hong and said, "Tencent's 4 billion yuan, how much has been transferred to your account?"
Liu Hong immediately said, "2 billion. There's still 2 billion not yet. However, among the 2 billion yuan, 1 billion yuan has been used for the promotion and development of services such as Wantoon and WeChat. Currently, Tencent only has 1 billion yuan left. "
"Urge Tencent to transfer the remaining 2 billion yuan as soon as possible. Together with the remaining 1 billion yuan, we have 3 billion yuan. This 3 billion yuan … "
Li Dong looked around, and the people in charge of a few sub-groups craned their necks.
Now, all the groups were short of money.
The retail group was really an empty shell now. The logistics group was the same as the retail group.
Far away Technology was doing better because the headquarters funded its development in the early stages, so it didn't have any debts. Weibo recently raised 1 billion USD, so they didn't have to pay for Weibo's development.
For Wantoon and WeChat, the previous 1 billion yuan was enough.
In addition, Far Away Mall was still profitable. At least, it was enough to be self-sufficient for now. The only thing they needed to consider was the problem of spending money for large-scale promotion next month or even going to war with Tencent.
As for Dong Yu Real Estate, Li Dong previously said that they would sell part of the land to recover the money. However, the Far Away City plan and the employee community plan both needed money. There was also a lot of debt with the bank that was due. Even if they sold the land, the money would not be enough.
Now, Tencent still had 3 billion yuan left. The headquarters had just received 1.5 billion yuan, so a total of 4.5 billion yuan was here. The few bosses were all eyeing this money covetously.
Wu Shengnan and the others craned their necks and waited for Li Dong to make arrangements.
Seeing that Li Dong stopped and did not say anything, Wu Shengnan said eagerly, "General Manager Li, the development of the first ten Far Away City really can't be delayed any longer. If this goes on, it won't even be enough for three years, let alone two years! There's also the problem of the investment in the employee community. You promised it before, so it can't be delayed anymore. Dong Yu's current debt ratio is too high, and some of the land has not been paid off … "
As she spoke, the new boss of logistics, Kong Xiangyu, said faintly, "Boss Wu, didn't General Manager Li say last time that the delayed funds from Mobile would be used for Dong Yu Real Estate? Dong Yu shouldn't be in such a difficult situation for the time being.
General Manager Li, once Wanjia goes online, our original express delivery channels won't be enough.
You've seen the situation with Taobao. We can't really count on Shunfeng and the others. The key is to rely on ourselves.
These places all need money.
In addition, our transit center, large warehouse center, and supermarket distribution center are also extremely tight.
Also, we need money for the development of the airline.
Finally, on the logistics side, we have taken on most of the logistics tasks of our suppliers, including the cooperation with those retail companies. We have also taken on their logistics distribution channels.
However, in terms of logistics, whether it's the purchase of vehicles, the establishment of hub centers, or the opening of special lines, they all need money.
In the early stages, the mall has always been in arrears with our debts. Now, the logistics company really can't make ends meet … "
Kong Xiangyu wasn't lying. The logistics company's expenses in the past two years had been huge. Although they had taken on a lot of business now, the income was far from the expenses.
If they wanted to continue expanding, they couldn't do it without money.
Seeing that Liu Hong was about to speak, Li Dong waved his hand and interrupted, "This money, including the 1.5 billion from the headquarters, will be kept. Don't use it for the time being."
The others were a little disappointed when they heard this. Don't use it? What are you talking about?
Also, don't use this money. You can keep it for interest!
However, Liu Hong's eyes lit up when he heard this. He grinned and didn't say anything.
After everyone talked for a while, Li Dong announced the end of the meeting, and the others left one after another.
Yuan Chengdao didn't leave. When everyone left, Yuan Chengdao said, "General Manager Li, this money is going to be kept to deal with Tencent?"
"Including Taobao."
Li Dong leaned on the chair and sighed. He shook his head and said, "Don't look at Taobao as an obedient baby. We don't interfere with each other now.
But in May, our Wanjia Online will be online. No matter how indifferent Taobao is, they will make a move.
Both the Wan Jia Net and PP required money.
If you want to defeat Tencent, you can't do it without burning money.
4.5 billion can't be spent all at once.
We have to keep this money just in case. This is all the funds we can use for such a big group. "
Li Dong sighed. Life was not easy.
In such a large group, Li Dong's personal wealth was claimed to be more than 270 billion, and this was Li Dong's personal wealth. Faraway Group now claimed to have total assets of 400 billion and net assets of 300 billion.
At this year's annual meeting, Li Dong said that he wanted to build a group with assets of more than 500 billion. At that time, everyone disagreed.
But after Li Dong boasted, it seemed that this goal was about to be achieved. Many people were also confused.
However, a group with assets of 400 billion only had a book balance of more than 4 billion, which was really not much.
What's more, Far away still had some short-term debts maturing.
If Far away's current financial report was revealed, it would inevitably cause a wave of suspicion.
But fortunately, according to the data Far away released to the public, the group's total debt ratio was very low. This was the only thing that comforted Far away.
Yuan Chengdao had previously guessed the purpose of Li Dong keeping the money, so he didn't say too much. He just said, "Let's arrange for the bond issuance and loans as soon as possible. Now that the group needs more and more money, this amount is really not enough. This year, we are going to raise more than 30 billion in loans and bonds. Only then will it be enough for us. By the end of the year, the group's total debt will probably exceed 140 billion. "
When it came to 140 billion in debt, Li Dong and Yuan Chengdao looked at each other, then they didn't continue this topic.
Li Dong expanded crazily. In the first two years, the group had almost no debt. In just two or three years, the debt increased by 140 billion, which was shocking.
Of course, the overall scale of Faraway Group was also expanding at a frightening pace. Relatively speaking, 140 billion in debt was still acceptable.
Li Dong paused for a moment before saying, "As I said before, building a 500 billion group this year and controlling the debt to about 150 billion is not a big problem. You can control this yourself. The risk is not big. We can't compare with companies like Wahaha, but compared to other companies, Far away's scale is still acceptable. "
Yuan Chengdao responded. The two chatted for a while, then Yuan Chengdao left.
…
At night.
Li Dong returned to the courtyard.
During dinner, Li Dong said while eating, "In the next few days, the group's money will gradually come into your account. I will transfer the 1.8 billion from you …"
Seeing Shen Qian looking at him, Li Dong shook his head and said, "You take this money. I still have money here. I don't need too much. If you really need to use a large amount of money, go through the group's channels. I will leave a small treasury for myself. The rest of the money still needs to be clear. Just in case one day the company is in trouble and is taken over by others. Do you understand? "
Shen Qian thought for a moment and said, "Okay, it just so happens that Baidu is also asking for debt. Their 50 million USD has to be paid back as soon as possible. After paying back this money, there will be about 1.5 billion left. I will find a project to invest in. "
"This doesn't matter. If it doesn't work, buy more real estate. It won't be a loss."
Li Dong said casually and finally said, "Tencent shares should be sold as soon as possible. It is best to clear them all before the end of the month."
Shen Qian's investment company still owns a lot of Tencent shares in the past.
At the beginning of the year, Li Dong said that he will find an opportunity to sell them. Now that he mentioned it again, Shen Qian asked, "You are going to make a move?"
At home, Li Dong did not hide anything and replied, "We will officially launch our attack in May. We will first occupy the mobile market. Once the mobile users have settled down, we will start fighting for the PC market. Other than QQ, we will target Tencent's games, web portals, web browsers … all of these businesses. We will try to end this as soon as possible. The longer it drags on, the more dangerous it will be for us. After all, their foundation is there, and the longer it drags on, the more variables there will be. If we can't kill them in one blow, Brother Ma will kill me in the end. "
Tencent has a strong foundation, and this kind of enterprise can only be defeated in an instant.
If it is defeated in an instant, the other party will be a listed company. First, the shareholders and investors will panic. Only with a pincer attack from both inside and outside can there be hope of making Tencent collapse.
Otherwise, the longer it drags on, the other party will recover, and it will be hard to say who will be the winner.
Hearing Li Dong say that they will make a move in May, Shen Qian did not say anything to dissuade him. She only said, "If necessary, I will sell some shares of other companies and try to raise 3 billion …"
Li Dong shook his head and said, "Next, it is not a problem of money. We will definitely spend money, but it does not mean that the more we spend, the higher the chance of winning. You don't have to worry too much about this. Actually, I have said before that it does not matter whether we win or lose. In the IM area, it is really an unexpected gain. If we really lose, it will not be a pity. You can focus on taking care of your pregnancy. As for the wedding, you can prepare for it when you have time. I probably will not have time for this in May. "
"Got it. Just focus on your work."
Shen Qian replied and could not help but look at Li Dong.
This guy is really becoming more and more amazing. Back when Far away first came up with PP, she was still in charge of the shopping mall.
At that time, it was only positioned as a product of the same nature as Ali Wangwang. Unexpectedly, a few years later, it started to attack Tencent.
One must know that at that time, Tencent was fully deserving of being the overlord in the field of instant messaging.
In just a few years, the inconspicuous PP already had the qualifications to be on an equal footing with Tencent.
Moreover, it was Li Dong who took the initiative to attack Tencent. The more it was like this, the more it made people sigh.
Even she, who had been accompanying Li Dong, thought so. When Li Dong really launched an attack, the outside world would probably be in an uproar.
