Capital's press conference could no longer be held.
The scene was in chaos!
Far away's actions came one after another today. Compared to the upcoming online battle and the various factions that had happened before, the two events that happened today were considered as major events that would change the retail industry!
Far away had taken over Wumart, the retail hegemon of North China, and Dashang, the hegemon of Northeast and Northwest China.
Once Far away succeeded in taking over Dashang, the retail landscape in the North would completely change!
Far away, which had always been weak in the North, instantly became the uncrowned king of the entire North's retail industry.
If Far away won again in the South, then Hua Xia's offline retail market would be completely dominated by Far away!
At this moment, everyone was more concerned about whether Far away had any hope of success in Dashang.
How would Great Shang deal with this?
…
Dashang Corporation.
Niu Gang was able to control the entire Dashang Corporation from a professional manager. He was shrewd.
He would lose his temper, but even if he did, he would be able to control it very quickly.
But this time, when Far away announced that they were going to Dashang, Niu Gang could no longer hold it in!
The office supplies that he had just changed last night were smashed by Niu Gang once again!
"Bastard!"
Niu Gang was furious. No one knew whether he was scolding Far away or the people in front of him.
Niu Gang scolded fiercely. He gritted his teeth and said, "15 million shares. You just bought it like that. There was no news at all. What are you doing?
Didn't I remind you after coming back from Huashan?
Far away will have a large amount of cash flow once the financing is successful. It is very likely that they will attack us from the stock market!
But now?
We only found out about the news when Far away announced that they were going to raise their shares. What are you doing!
The Corporation gives you such a high salary every year. Did you squander it for nothing? "
Sometimes, knowing ahead of time and being behind on the news were two completely different concepts.
If they knew in advance that Far away had bought Dashang's shares, Dashang would have had many countermeasures to take.
But now, Far away had bought 15 million shares, accounting for 5% of Dashang's shares.
At this time, everything was out in the open. Many plans could not be taken.
Back at the Hua Mountain Summit, someone had said to be careful of Far away companies that listed on the stock exchange.
At that time, Niu Gang took it to heart and even specifically mentioned it during the senior management meeting to let everyone pay attention to the changes in the stock market.
In the end, Great Shang only found out about this when Yuanfang publicly raised the signboard.
Niu Gang was enraged, and the executives also had their own difficulties.
The circulation of stocks in the secondary market was already difficult to monitor. Far away, it was extremely fast.
So far, it had taken less than three days to complete the purchase of 15 million shares.
Over the past three days, although there had been some changes in the stock market and the trading volume had increased, it was still less than 5% of the shares. There were quite a lot of shares in circulation in Shang Dynasty, so no one paid much attention to it.
Who knew that in just three days, Distance had already bought 15 million shares.
Over the past few days, Great Shang's stock price had risen slightly, and the shareholders were still happy.
But today, when the news came out, everyone knew that they were in trouble!
The listed Da Shang shares had almost all of Da Shang Group's retail business.
Including big shopping malls, supermarkets, big electrical appliances …
Of course, Da Shang shares didn't represent all of Da Shang Group's assets. Da Shang Group also had real estate businesses and food and beverage businesses.
As for Da Shang Group, although it was known as the parent company of Da Shang shares, it actually didn't hold much shares.
Currently, Da Shang Group held 9% of Da Shang shares, and the executives, including Niu Gang, held about 12%.
These two weren't the same concept. The shares held by the group and the shares held by the executives couldn't be confused.
But overall, Da Shang Group and the executives held a total of 21% of Da Shang shares.
The second largest shareholder of Da Shang shares was Dalian Guoshang Asset Co., Ltd., which held 8%.
The second largest shareholder could be seen from the name. This was the embodiment of Da Shang's retreat and advance.
Da Shang Group, Da Shang's executives, and Dalian Guoshang held 29% of the shares.
This was the capital and confidence that Niu Gang and the others could obtain control of Da Shang.
But the actual situation was extremely complicated.
Although Niu Gang and the others could exercise 29% of the shares in name, in reality, it was hard to say when the time came.
The 9% held by Da Shang Group, 8% held by Dalian Guoshang, and even the shares held by the other executives didn't mean that they were always on the same side as Niu Gang.
Now, Far away held 5% of Da Shang shares.
Far away had become the third largest shareholder in terms of the ranking of shareholders.
And the fourth largest shareholder had about the same shareholding as Far away, which was also close to 5%.
The fourth largest shareholder of Da Shang, who was previously the third largest shareholder, wasn't very famous in the outside world, but he wasn't an ordinary person either.
The fourth largest shareholder of Da Shang shares was the Maoye Group.
The Maoye Group wasn't very famous in the outside world, but in the business world, it was quite famous.
Hua Xia's current retail companies were almost all encircling land and buildings, creating a department store + real estate model.
And this model was actually first advocated by the Maoye Group in the country.
Before the Maoye Group, the other retail groups and real estate groups were unrelated to the two industries.
The retail group did retail, and the real estate group did real estate.
However, while the Maoye Group was doing retail, it had encircled land and buildings from the beginning. Although the department store business and real estate business weren't very strong, because they started early, and in recent years, except for the decline of land prices in 2008, they had been increasing by a large margin.
This also caused some of the land and shops that the Maoye Group had encircled back then to be worth a lot.
The head of the Maoye Group had even been on the top of the Hurun List before. His wealth ranking was even higher than Ma Huateng's, and he had been the richest man in Shenzhen.
At this moment, Niu Gang didn't know why he thought of this department store king, or rather, the real estate king, who had always been extremely low-key.
As he thought about it, Niu Gang didn't wait for the others to speak and suddenly said hurriedly, "Far away from Da Shang, has President Huang asked about it?"
The others were stunned, and immediately someone said, "I don't think so."
"No?"
Niu Gang's expression changed again. The president of the Maoye Group also had the surname Huang, and he was also from Chaoshan. He was also known as the department store king …
The other party's resume was actually very similar to that of the Gome Group's Old Huang, but he was not as high-profile as Old Huang.
Both of them were from the same hometown. In the industry, many people knew that the other party had a good relationship with Old Huang.
At this moment, Niu Gang couldn't help but say, "Such a big thing happened, and he didn't ask about it? Or is he already Far Away … "
Someone in front of him understood what he meant, but he said in disbelief, "President Huang is involved with Far Away? Far Away's relationship with the Chaoshan Group isn't very good. The Chaoshan merchants have been saying that they want to teach him a lesson … "
"Ridiculous!"
Niu Gang snorted, sounding a little disdainful.
Only these people would take a dispute between local business groups seriously.
For big entrepreneurs, as long as there were benefits to speak of, they didn't care what faction you were from.
Maoye Group might really be involved with Far Away.
Or perhaps Far Away had used some benefits to move the other party, so the Maoye Group chose to support or was prepared to sell their shares to Far Away.
If that was really the case, they would be in big trouble!
Together, the two groups' shares exceeded 9%. In fact, it had already exceeded the proportion of shares held by Da Shang Group.
Of course, this did not include the shares held by Da Shang's executives.
But could this group of people in front of him really be trusted?
Niu Gang thought about this, but he didn't say it out loud. At this moment, Niu Gang regained his composure.
After a moment, Niu Gang said, "Immediately call for a board meeting to discuss how to deal with Far Away's move.
Far Away's ambition was well-known.
Once the other party took control of Da Shang's shares, Da Shang would change from a diversified group to a real estate group.
"And the real estate business is actually not our main business.
"Da Shang's main business is retail. It has always been so!
"Therefore, even if we lose Da Shang Group, we can't lose control of Da Shang's shares.
"In addition, the group should prepare for a buyback and have sufficient funds.
"Inform the major shareholders to hold a shareholders' meeting.
"In addition, when necessary, we need to seek outside help, including the China Resources Group, the Bailian Group. These groups are all our targets.
"In short, Da Shang welcomes Far Away to invest, but not Far Away to control!
"Once Far Away is controlled, the retail industry of Da Shang that has stood for many years will completely disappear.
"The other party even threw away the Top 100 brand, not to mention Da Shang.
"Also, everyone, don't forget the lesson of Gome.
"If you don't retaliate now, once the other party takes control, some of you will probably have to prepare to go home and retire.
"Don't think that Far Away taking control is a good thing. Da Shang has the chance to become bigger and stronger and become the number one retail group in Hua Xia!
"Everyone should understand how much value and benefits it will bring to everyone if they become number one.
"Far Away taking control might bring you some returns in the short term, but in the long term, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages …"
Niu Gang didn't get angry again. This wasn't the time to get angry.
If he really forced these executives to be at odds with him, it would be troublesome.
At this moment, he had to reason with them and appease them.
Another thing was the Maoye Group. He wasn't familiar with the leader of the Maoye Group, but Niu Gang quickly thought of someone!
Du Juan!
It was useless to find other people. Finding Du Juan and asking her to help should be effective.
After Gome's Huang Family was defeated Far Away, although not all of Gome was gone, there were still many businesses under it.
However, the foundation of Gome's rise and fame was gone. Moreover, Old Huang was still in prison. Now, Gome Real Estate had actually lost the Gome brand and started to use the Peng Run Real Estate name to continue operating.
Although they had a large amount of funds and the real estate group.
However, Gome's defeat and being taken under Far Away was a fact. It could be said that they had lost it in Du Juan's hands.
This woman now hated Far Away and Li Dong.
As one of the leaders of the Chaoshan merchants, although Old Huang was in prison, the Huang Family still had strength and prestige.
At this time, there was still hope for Du Juan to help persuade the Maoye Group not to join Far Away.
If the Maoye Group did not join, Far Away's chances of buying shares in the secondary market to control Big Shang were slim.
There was also Ma Huateng, who had a great reputation in Shenzhen. He could test his attitude.
Niu Gang thought about this and started to think about how to deal with the upcoming fight for shares.
As for the online part, he was not in the mood to care about it.
Apart from the fight for shares, even if they kept Far Away out, North China's Wumart being taken under Far Away was still a huge threat to Great Shang.
The more he thought about it, the more Niu Gang's head hurt.
Everyone said that Li Dong was difficult to deal with. Li Dong was difficult to deal with. In the past, he had never interacted with Li Dong and was not familiar with him.
But now he was!
This guy did not make a move, but once he did, it was a big move.
All sorts of actions were taken, causing Great Shang to be a little flustered.
…
While Great Shang was having a headache, the retail industry was also in an uproar.
Even Old Zhang of Suning, who had a high percentage of shares, was nervous and started to buy back Suning's shares in the secondary market.
33% and above. It was safe in the past, but it was hard to say now.
Facing an opponent like Li Dong, Far Away, it was not impossible for him to seize the opportunity to take over Suning.
Suning's current cash flow was still quite strong, and they had the capital to buy back some shares.
In this aspect, they were slightly better than Great Shang.
Although Great Shang didn't lack money, it wasn't up to Niu Gang to decide how to invest their money.
…
Great Shang was urgently discussing how to deal with the crisis, and Suning was also thinking of ways to protect themselves.
In an instant, the attention of the two corporations shifted from online to themselves.
This time, Ali was in a bit of a predicament.
He had just roped in the support of two powerful allies, and now that Great Shang was in danger, it was hard to say if they could help on November 11th.
On Suning's side, everyone was in danger.
Previously, Zhang Jindong supported Ali, and no one had any objections.
But at this moment, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that those who supported Ali were definitely going to be attacked. Moreover, they were going to attack first.
Whether or not they should become the target of Far Away's attacks, even in Suning, there was a debate.
Far Away's previous targets weren't these few. From the enemy's layout in the South, it could be seen that Far Away's first target were the two foreign retail companies.
But looking at the current trend, if Suning insisted on participating in the online battle, Far Away's strategic target might change targets.
Great Shang had already become the focus point. Was Suning going to be the same as Great Shang?
Zhang Jindong didn't care about the thoughts of some people in Suning.
Even if it wasn't now, sooner or later, Suning would be the target of Far Away.
Rather than being defeated by Far Away one by one, it was better to focus all their strength and fight against Far Away together.
Thus, while buying back shares to protect themselves, Zhang Jindong also suppressed the internal voices and forcefully passed the decision to continue supporting Ali.
…
The retail industry was in chaos. From online to offline, offline to online. Under the disruption of Far Away, everything was in chaos.
As for the outside world, before the start of November 11th, they were waiting for Far Away's next move.
Far Away's move against Great Shang, could they succeed?
Or was it a feint to create pressure for Great Shang?
