October 29th.
Far Away Investment bought another 6 million shares of Dashang through the secondary market, holding 21 million shares of Dashang, increasing its share ratio to 7%.
On the same day, East Star also began to sell shares on the secondary market.
Because East Star had not yet reached the threshold, the outside world did not know how much shares they had bought.
However, through some trading data, it could be seen that East Star had bought no less than 2 million shares.
However, just the 7% of shares Far Away was enough to make Dashang tremble in fear.
At this moment, Far Away's share ratio had begun to approach the largest shareholder, Dashang Group!
On this day, Dashang also began to buy back shares on the secondary market.
Dashang's shares, which were originally priced at 60 yuan per share, rose by 8% on the same day after several companies bought them, approaching 65 yuan per share.
Normally, Dashang's people would be grinning from ear to ear at such a high increase.
But now, Dashang's people could not smile.
The rise in the share price meant that their cost of buying back shares had increased.
Dashang, who claimed to be using 3 billion to buy back shares, did not know how many shares they could buy back in the end.
Apart from them, Dashang's stock trading was also a little abnormal. Someone else might be involved!
As for who it was, Dashang could not guess before the board was raised.
However, according to the rules, it should not be Far Away.
After Far Away had raised its board, the companies and institutions related to Far Away had to announce their purchase of shares. This was the rule. Far Away would not leave such a loophole.
As for who was involved, or if many people saw the opportunity to participate, Dashang had no time to care at this moment.
After all, Far Away had raised its board in Dashang. In many people's eyes, this was a good opportunity to raise the price of Dashang.
…
A storm was brewing in the north.
Central region.
As one of the top retail alliances in Central China, the Wushang Alliance had also encountered a great crisis this time.
The Wushang Alliance was actually a general name.
It was mainly composed of three listed companies, Zhongbai, Zhongshang, and Hubei Wushang. These three retail companies originated from Hubei Province were part of the Wushang Alliance.
The Wushang Alliance was the parent company of these three companies.
Previously, when Longhua announced that they were going to raise their placards, it was not the entire Wushang Alliance that raised their placards, but Zhongbai.
Far away, Zhongbai and Zhongbai actually had some connections. Back then, Zhongbai's boss had met Li Dong on his way to Beijing, and then they met again in Beijing.
At that time, the other party's goal was to make the restructuring plan fail.
He had indeed succeeded then!
China and Belarus introduced Far away, and the two sides worked together to give Far away a chance to develop in E Province.
But later on, Far away's threat was too great, and its ambitions were too great. White Central realized that it had invited a wolf into its house, so it quickly gave up on the collaboration and chose to complete the reorganization plan with the other two families.
The three companies had cross-shareholdings.
In the end, the Alliance of Martial and Business would hold a majority of the shares, and that was how the retail alliance that dominated Central China was formed.
The White Middle Clan was the strongest among the three clans.
Longhua raised the placard in Zhongbai and called it the Wushang Alliance to the outside world. There was nothing wrong with it.
However, it did not mean that Longhua had a controlling stake. Longhua only bought 6% of Zhongbai's shares.
However, on the 29th, when Longhua bought White Middle's shares in the secondary market, another piece of news broke out in the business world!
Yintai raised the placard in E Wushang!
As soon as the news came out, everyone was no longer in an uproar. Capital wars had happened frequently in the past few days, and everyone was already numb to it.
It was just that at this time, everyone really did not know what Far away's goal was!
Yintai was currently one of the members of the Far away Alliance.
But Yintai's strength was not considered weak.
In fact, it was not the first time that the other party raised the placard in E Wushang.
As early as 2005, in order to expand, Yintai entered E Province and purchased some of the corporate shares of E Wushang. Later, through auctions, they obtained another portion of the corporate shares.
In 2006, Yintai's shares were close to the largest shareholder.
At that time, in order to prevent Yintai from seizing the controlling stake, Jiangcheng united with some people acting in concert to repel Yintai's raising of the placard and protect the major shareholder position of E Wushang.
The so-called people acting in concert meant that some shareholders of E Wushang joined forces and signed a people acting in concert agreement. During this period, the shares held by these shareholders would be concentrated to one party to exercise their rights.
In this way, they could also maintain the major shareholder position of the other party and not be replaced by Yintai.
In 2006, Yintai was defeated by E Wushang. However, at that time, the other party held a lot of shares and did not take all of them.
Later, the three companies completed the reorganization plan. Considering future development, Yintai sold a small amount of shares and still retained about 10% of the shares.
And this time, Yintai did not hold 10% of E Wushang's shares, but 15%.
According to the regulations of the CSRC, every time a listed company increased or decreased its shares by 5%, it was required to make an announcement to raise the placard.
Yintai announced to the public that it had increased its shares by 5%, reaching 15%.
At this time, the Wushang Alliance was really anxious!
Among the three main companies, Zhongbai was raised by Longhua, and E Wushang was raised by Yintai.
Things were developing too fast!
Yesterday, they were still watching a joke. After Longhua announced the news, they did not have time to react. Yintai, who had previously suffered a setback in E Province, made a comeback!
This time, Yintai was no longer fighting alone.
Without the approval and support of Far away, no one would believe that Yintai would participate in this action at this time.
Far away was backed by Longhua. This was no longer just a fight for the control of E Wushang. Yintai and Longhua, which were Far away companies, even had the idea of fighting for the control of the Wushang Alliance!
The Wushang Alliance, which dominated the retail industry in the central region, was forced to choose to participate in this scuffle.
…
There was chaos in the north and central regions.
The south could not be avoided.
Sun Tao, who was stationed in the south, set off from Shanghai on the 29th. In the name of inspecting the construction of the new store.
But in fact, he stopped at various places along the way. Every time he reached a place, he would stay for a period of time to have secret talks with some local real estate developers and retail companies.
Although the two sides did not disclose any information to the public, no one was a fool.
Sun Tao went to various places in the south this time to talk about nothing more than Far away entering major shopping malls and contacting the members of the Far away company to reach an agreement.
…
The term "Far away company" was now frequently mentioned by the outside world.
Among them were Longhua Group, East Star Group, and Far away companies.
This system was extremely powerful.
There was Far Away, the number one private company, Longhua, the number two in the real estate industry, and East Star, the media giant. Each of these companies could form a faction.
Now, a new faction led by Far Away was formed. Although it had not been long since it rose, it had already frightened the outside world.
In the past, although Far Away was strong, it had always been fighting alone.
And Far Away would not make too many moves in the capital market. It was more to meet its own layout and negotiate acquisition matters.
But now, Far Away had launched a big fight in the financial market, which frightened many listed companies.
And it was getting involved in more and more companies, which made the management teams of many companies with low shareholding ratio worried.
…
The outside world had become a pot of porridge.
Some people took this opportunity to fish in troubled waters, stirring up the situation and taking advantage of the opportunity to reap benefits.
Just as Far Away was fighting, some of the previously low-key factions had also revealed their ferocious faces.
The Precious Energy faction, which had caught a glimpse of the battle between Chao Merchants and Jiangbei Merchants, was also making frequent moves in the stock market.
The outside world did not pay attention, but Li Dong had received the news in advance.
The Precious Energy faction was increasing its shares in the current number one real estate group, Vanke Group.
Far Away.
When he received the news, Li Dong smiled with his eyes squinted. "It's getting more and more interesting. Is the battle for Baowan going to break out?"
"Battle for Baowan?"
Yuan Chengdao repeated. He did not think much of it, but asked with some doubt, "Do you think that Precious Energy is preparing to invade Vanke this time, and not through normal investment methods?"
Since it was already defined as a battle for Baowan, in Li Dong's opinion, both sides were bound to break out into a war.
Li Dong smiled. "The Precious Energy faction is very ambitious. Now that the real estate market is picking up, and Vanke is the number one real estate company, it's not strange for them to want to take control of Vanke. What's more, the current largest shareholder of Vanke, China Resources Group, would soon be dragged into the retail war. Once China Resources Group is held up by us, Precious Energy's hopes will increase greatly. It's normal for them to make some preparations. "
In the business world, the shareholding structure of major companies was more complicated.
Currently, China Resources Group was the largest shareholder of Vanke, and both parties had been working together for many years.
China Resources Group was not only in the retail business, but also in the real estate business, gas business, and other manufacturing industries. They were all quite strong.
This retail war had not yet involved China Resources Group and Bailian Group.
But to the outside world, it was only a matter of time.
This was a war that would sweep the entire Hua Xia retail market. Even if these two giants did not want to participate, even if they did not provoke them Far Away, they would still be dragged into the war in the end.
There was no other reason, other companies were not willing!
If China Resources Group and Bailian Group did not participate, they would end up fighting to the death with Far Away. Would others be willing?
Suning, Da Shang, and other groups had already forced these two companies to participate in the competition in some areas instead of being bystanders.
Once China Resources Group was also involved, they would be held back, and their strength would be weakened in other areas.
The Precious Energy faction would take this opportunity to launch a war against Baowan, and their chances of success would be higher.
Of course, Li Dong's analysis was based on the experience of the future.
At this moment, the Precious Energy faction had not surfaced yet, and they had not revealed their ambitions. Buying a small amount of Vanke's shares, in the eyes of the outside world, was just a means of investment.
Only Li Dong had heard of it in his previous life. This time, he thought about it and could roughly guess what the Precious Energy faction was planning.
But Li Dong did not care too much. He smiled and said, "Not only is Baowan preparing to fish in troubled waters, but other insurance companies, including some financial institutions and other companies, are also preparing to attack at any time to grab the fruits of victory. The business world of Hua Xia is getting more and more interesting. It won't be long before there will be many wars. All industries will begin to reshuffle. I have said before that we will enter the era of oligarchs, not just in the retail industry, but in other industries as well. Some companies are now waiting, waiting for the war to erupt at its climax, and then they will also participate. Mergers and acquisitions will occur frequently in the business world. "
Yuan Chengdao pondered for a moment and said, "Now, I don't know whether it is good or bad. There are pros and cons, and I am afraid even the government does not know whether to stop these companies from completing their restructuring and integration."
Restructuring and mergers of companies, strengthening their strength, and not duplicating the investment of resources, this is a good thing.
But some small and medium-sized enterprises, in this big change, will become the sacrifice, and it may also kill their future growth space.
For these things, the government can only wait.
Yuan Chengdao did not mention this and turned to Far away. "General Manager Li, the financing period is almost over. This time, we are likely to complete the plan ahead of time.
Currently, we have raised more than 260 billion in various markets.
The remaining funds may be completed in a few days.
Once the plan is completed, we will have a lot of funds on hand.
In addition, the previous listing of Weibo and Tencent has also brought a lot of funds to these two companies.
Weibo's funds currently have a direction to invest in.
However, Tencent still has a lot of funds available. Previously, Tencent asked us for your opinion, General Manager Li … "
When the two companies went public, the money from the shares sold went to the companies.
Both companies raised a lot of funds. Weibo used part of it for international expansion, and part of it for VR community development.
Tencent has been developing for a long time, and some of the basic work has already been done. Currently, there are not many investment directions.
Seeking Li Dong's opinion is something that Tencent must do.
Li Dong listened and thought for a while. He suddenly smiled and said, "Say, if Tencent and Weibo buy some IT company shares now, will this war spread more?"
"…"
Yuan Chengdao was completely speechless!
What is Li Dong thinking now?
Currently, there are many companies and industries involved. Currently, among the IT companies, only Ali is involved.
However, once Tencent and Weibo attack again, it may cause an industry-wide war.
Far away, in the end, it may become the target of everyone and be attacked by everyone.
Just as Yuan Chengdao was thinking about how to answer, Li Dong smiled again and said, "I'm just joking, I won't do such a boring thing.
As for the direction of investment, it will mainly be used for the development of the mobile market.
Nowadays, there are more and more 3G users, and there is a trend of it surpassing PC users.
However, I'm not just talking about buying some IT company shares casually.
Tencent has reached a stage where it can no longer make breakthroughs in some areas. At this time, it is necessary to open up the entire Tencent platform, with instant messaging as the core business, and expand other areas of business to achieve diversification.
I won't make the specific arrangements for how to do it.
Since the company is under your management, the specific plan will naturally be decided by you.
Also, my private investment company has been established.
There will be a board meeting these two days, and I will start some procedures. "
Private investment company was mentioned before, and Yuan Chengdao was not surprised.
Far away is still controlled by the Li Family, and even if Li Dong does not hold a meeting and makes some cuts, the others will not be able to refute.
The board meeting is just a list of official business.
However, Yuan Chengdao still asked, "What does General Manager Li want to do? Previously, you mentioned Weibo and Tencent shares, I wonder how much are they … "
"Below 5%, to avoid trouble."
If it is more than 5%, there will naturally be an announcement, and this will be troublesome. If it is less than 5%, there is no need to go through these procedures.
Yuan Chengdao heard this and heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Li Dong will transfer assets on a large scale.
At this time, Far Away is in a chaotic period.
Once the transfer of assets on a large scale is revealed, it will easily cause suspicion from the outside world, and that will be troublesome.
The transfer of a small amount of shares is not a big problem.
The two of them talked for a while, and Yuan Chengdao said everything that needs to be said. Before leaving, he thought for a while and asked, "Regarding the appointment plan of CEO Qi, in principle, the board of directors and the retail group's board of directors have no objections. However, CEO Qi is now in charge of the logistics and e-commerce business in the north. Do you think it is a little inappropriate? "
As the CEO of the retail group, managing the retail business in the north, no one has any objections.
However, Li Dong said before that the authority must be clear, and not overlap.
Now, CEO Qi Yunna of the retail group has exceeded her authority to manage the logistics group and Far away Technology Group. What will the people of these two groups think?
Moreover, it is not easy to manage.
In name, Qi Yunna is their subordinate, but in reality, she is not under their management. It is equivalent to losing the management authority in the north for no reason.
Because of this, the two groups still have some objections.
Qi Yunna is not Sun Tao. Sun Tao is the deputy CEO of Far away, and he has the authority to manage these businesses.
Qi Yunna does not have this authority.
Upon hearing that, Li Dong smiled and said, "It is just temporary management, mainly to deal with the current situation in the north. Once the north has settled down, this situation will naturally not happen again. Go back and talk to Liu Hong and Kong Xiangyu. Tell them not to think too much. Currently, they still have to cooperate with the work in the north … "
"I understand."
Yuan Chengdao responded and did not ask any more questions. He quickly left the office.
…
When he returned to his own office, Yuan Chengdao sat on the chair and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
Now, no one can see the situation in the business world. It is a mess.
In fact, it is not only the business world. Far away, what is the difference internally?
Qi Yunna suddenly rose up and suddenly took charge of the north. She has almost the same authority as Sun Tao.
Although it is temporary management, who knows what Li Dong is thinking?
As Li Dong's direct subordinate, Qi Yunna has always been favored by Li Dong.
There have been ups and downs for many years. There have been peaks and troughs, but Qi Yunna has endured all of them.
Now, she has risen again and taken charge of the north market.
Once she has a firm foothold in the north and is familiar with the business of the other groups, who can be sure that Qi Yunna will not suddenly appear in the end and become the next strong competitor?
Thinking of this, Yuan Chengdao sighed.
The current Li Dong is unfathomable.
It is not like a few years ago. At that time, when you look at Li Dong, you can actually see some things from some of his usual actions.
But now, Li Dong appears to be more and more unfathomable.
The ups and downs in the business world over the past few years have also made Li Dong more mature.
And now, Far away, there are all kinds of big moves. This also made Yuan Chengdao a little worried.
Is it really possible to accomplish everything in one go?
The situation is already becoming more and more chaotic.
The scope of influence is also becoming wider and wider.
Thinking of this, Yuan Chengdao can't help but rub his temples. As the CEO of the group, he is now mentally and physically exhausted.
He can't help but think of a few years ago, when he first met Li Dong.
At that time, who would have thought that this young man would, in a few short years, set off a war that would sweep the entire business world of Hua Xia!
