3rd of November.
Li Dong led the team to the north!
Far away didn't announce that Li Dong was going to acquire Da Shang as Li Dong had said. It seemed too deliberate.
Nominally, it was still to inspect the warehouse and logistics system in the north.
However, there was a rumor that Li Dong's inspection in the north was mainly for Da Shang.
As soon as the news came out, the higher-ups of Da Shang became restless.
At the same time, Far away invested and bought some of Da Shang's shares in the secondary market, holding 26 million shares in total.
At this time, it was only 1 million shares away from the 9% share held by the largest shareholder, Da Shang Group.
Of course, that was before.
In the past few days, Da Shang also bought back some shares, holding 31 million shares, which was more than 10%.
As for the higher-ups, they also held 36 million shares.
The total share ratio was more than 22%, which made Niu Gang feel a little more at ease.
However, at this time, East Star entered the secondary market again and bought some shares.
Although it didn't reach the threshold, according to what Da Shang knew, East Star bought no less than 10 million shares!
In the secondary market, East Star was more generous than Far away.
As Niu Gang expected, according to the relevant regulations of the CSRC and the stock market, because Li Dong held shares in East Star, the two parties were related companies, and the announcement system was calculated cumulatively.
In other words, the shares of both parties had to be calculated together, and as long as it exceeded 5%, an announcement had to be made.
Just when Niu Gang was calculating how many shares East Star had bought.
Far away and East Star jointly made an announcement. Far away held 26 million shares, and East Star held exactly 10 million shares.
Both parties held 36 million shares in Da Shang, and the shareholding ratio was as high as 12%.
Because East Star bought in large quantities on the 3rd, it didn't reach 5% of the shares, so the two parties only made the announcement when it exceeded 12%. This was also recognized.
As soon as the news came out, Niu Gang couldn't sit still.
On the same day, Niu Gang contacted some of the group's higher-ups and signed a concerted action agreement with the group.
Most of the executives participated in the signing of the agreement. Except for some of the executives who were absent, the others, whether they were forced to or did not want to be acquired, all signed the agreement.
In the end, the Great Shang Group obtained the right to exercise 60 million shares.
This was something he had to do in order to maintain his position as a major shareholder.
Far away and East Star held 12% of the shares, which had exceeded the proportion of shares held by major shareholders.
If they didn't centralize the power now, then Da Shang Group's position as a major shareholder in Da Shang Retail would be in jeopardy. Far away, they would also have the right to restructure the management. This was something that no one wanted to see.
With the support of most of the senior shareholders, the Great Shang Group controlled 20% of the shares, once again ahead of Far Away and East Star.
But could 20% reassure Niu Gang?
Big Shang bought back shares through the secondary market while running around to contact other shareholders, hoping to get support.
There were currently two major shareholders in Shang Dynasty that held more shares, the Bincheng Guoshang Group and the Maoye Group.
These two held 13% of Da Shang Retail's shares.
As long as these two were willing to support Da Shang, then Da Shang Group would control more than 33% of the shares. For Da Shang Retail, whose shares were scattered, this proportion was almost enough to rest easy.
However, if these two did not support Da Shang and instead supported Li Dong, then it would be completely troublesome!
Li Dong currently held 12% of the shares. With the support of these 13% shareholders, he could replace them and successfully take over Da Shang Retail.
In addition, Li Dong personally went north this time. Niu Gang was extremely uneasy and could not care less about commanding. He personally went to the Bincheng Guoshang Group to seek support.
…
On the way.
In the car, Li Dong smiled at the phone and said, "It seems that he's really anxious."
Qi Yunna smiled and said, "How can he not be anxious? It wasn't easy for him to get the right to speak in the group. It hasn't been long since we took over. How can he be satisfied? "
Li Dong chuckled and said, "It's not that easy. I'm just trying to scare him. When it really comes to a critical moment, Da Shang Group still has the confidence. Some of Da Shang Retail's properties are in the hands of Da Shang Real Estate. When the time comes to inject capital and issue new shares, my shares will be diluted. "
Injecting capital to dilute the shares of the acquirer was a choice that many companies made when facing acquisitions.
Including Gome, which had made a large capital injection, injected hundreds of stores that Old Huang controlled into Gome, diluting Li Dong's shares halfway.
Now, if Da Shang chose to inject capital, it would dilute Li Dong's shares again.
Of course, this had to be agreed by the majority of the shareholders. At present, Da Shang could still barely obtain support. It was not impossible to carry out private placement.
Qi Yunna heard this and said disapprovingly, "General Manager Li, this is not possible.
Da Shang Retail is Da Shang Retail, and Da Shang Group is Da Shang Group.
If we take over Da Shang Retail, some of the senior executives of Da Shang Group might not really care too much.
After all, it was a fact that the retail industry had been competitive in the past few years, and profits had indeed decreased a lot.
If we take over the retail industry, they might still support us in their hearts.
However, Da Shang Group's real estate business, including other businesses, has high profits, and as the market picks up, its value will only increase.
Inject these valuable businesses into Da Shang Retail that we might acquire.
Even if Boss Niu agrees, others might not agree. "
What Qi Yunna said was also the reality.
Anyone with a discerning eye now knew that the retail business was too competitive, and profits, including future appreciation, were still up for discussion.
However, the real estate business was now in a period of rapid growth.
Not to mention the previous Longhua, on the 2nd, Longhua was listed at the issue price of 7 HKD. In the end, there was a significant increase, and it closed at 8.60 HKD that day.
Longhua's market value reached 43 billion HKD.
Wu Yajun and her husband's net worth also exceeded 32 billion HKD, close to 29 billion RMB.
In an instant, Wu Yajun surpassed Yang Huiyan and reached the top of Hua Xia's richest woman.
East Star's Hu Xiaorui, because East Star had not been listed yet, could not reach the top for the time being, and her ranking was still lower.
In the list of richest women, almost all the top few were in the real estate business.
In Hua Xia's list, there were also many real estate tycoons, including Hsu Shengzhe, who was currently in second place.
Seeing this situation and the successful listing of two real estate groups, everyone felt that the spring of the real estate industry had arrived.
At this time, naturally, not everyone would agree to let Da Shang Group inject their properties into Da Shang Retail.
Li Dong did not care too much. He smiled and said, "Let's wait and see. There is still hope for us to enter the market, but we cannot underestimate Da Shang. Alright, let's put it this way for now. We'll talk again when I reach Beijing. "
For this trip to the north, Li Dong naturally could not visit all the major cities. He mainly concentrated on some major cities.
Starting from Yu Province's Shang City, which was near Jiangbei, and ending at Bin City, where Da Shang's headquarters was located. Along the way, he would inspect important cities such as Tianjin and Beijing.
As for the other places, it was mainly the local people who would conduct self-inspections, and the group would also have a team to patrol.
The ending point was set at Bin City. This was also one of the reasons why Da Shang was uneasy when rumors spread.
…
Not long after hanging up the phone with Qi Yunna, Li Dong's motorcade entered Yu Province's Shang City.
After arriving at Shang City, Li Dong did not stop to rest. He began his inspection on the same day.
Shang City was not too far from Jiangbei. It was almost within sight of the headquarters. Li Dong took a look at the local warehouse inventory and logistics system. It was not a big problem.
After the inspection that day, Li Dong even had a meeting with the local government at night.
Yu Province's evening news had a three-minute report on this.
On the news, Li Dong faced some of Yu Province's key leaders. He spoke with confidence and composure. Although he was extremely young, his aura was not weaker than anyone else's.
Some people even felt that Li Dong was more imposing than some of Yu Province's leaders when they saw the news.
In the news, Li Dong mentioned the Far Away Central Region's strategic plan.
The Far Away Logistics Park in Pingchuan was huge and convenient. As the neighboring province, Yu Province was also covered by the Far Away Logistics Park.
According to Li Dong's proposal, Far Away might invest in some small and medium-sized logistics parks in Yu Province, Jin Province, Gan Province, Southern Hunan Province, and Hubei Province. With the logistics parks in the five provinces as a supplement and the logistics park in Jiangbei as the main, they would create a full coverage logistics system.
In the future, most of the Faraway Supermarket's distribution centers would be moved into the logistics park, forming a large logistics circle that covered the central region.
In the central region, Far Away would continue to increase cooperation with other places.
They would build a modern, high-tech, and highly efficient logistics system.
In addition, Li Dong and Yu Province also discussed some cooperation issues, including e-commerce and mobile payments.
…
In the news, because it was not a long time ago, ordinary people only looked at the person and did not care too much.
But for another group of people, Li Dong's strategy in the central region made many people frown.
Building a logistics circle in the central region, Li Dong's ambition was once again exposed.
With Jiangbei as the main base, the other five provinces would build sub-bases, forming a circle.
If Li Dong really succeeded, then Far Away Logistics in the central region would be completely unimpeded and could play out with the highest efficiency.
The investment for such a large logistics circle in six provinces would not be a small amount.
The local governments would pay attention to it, and in the past few years, they had been talking about the rise of the central region. Li Dong's plan to build a large logistics circle in the central region was in line with this theme, and it would be easy to get the support of the higher-ups.
Once they got the support, it would be too easy to encircle the land, including the investment funds. Far Away didn't even have to fork out money, the local government would be willing to guarantee loans to support the other party. There would be all kinds of tax exemption and free policies.
Although the central region's economy was not as developed as the south, its geographical location was still extremely important, connecting all directions.
In the central region, if Far Away completed the large logistics circle plan, it would be very easy for Far Away Logistics to connect all parts of the country.
…
The truth was not out of everyone's expectations.
Li Dong completed this plan in Yu Province. Soon, when Li Dong arrived in Ji Province, the main leaders of Ji Province also had a meeting with Li Dong.
According to the leaders of Ji Province, Far Away's strategy in the central region should actually include Ji Province.
Ji Province was adjacent to Tianjin and Beijing, two major northern strategic locations, and adjacent to Yu Province. Once a logistics park was built in Yu Province, if it was built in Ji Province, there would be no need for the large logistics circle in the central region, and they could directly open up the northern routes.
Both sides had a long discussion on these issues.
Just like in Yu Province, the news in Yi Province that night also reported about Li Dong's trip to Ji Province.
Just when everyone's attention was on Double 11 and the acquisition of Daishang, Li Dong suddenly began to talk about the large logistics circle strategy in the central region.
Moreover, he also gained the favor of the local governments, which made many people's jaws drop.
What was Li Dong trying to do?
He had done so much work previously, but it seemed as if it had nothing to do with him at all. Now, he was talking about the logistics strategy. Couldn't this guy be a little more quiet?
…
Li Dong no longer cared about the speculations and slander of the outside world.
As for the large logistics circle strategy, in fact, in Li Dong's opinion, it wasn't worth making a fuss about.
Far Away's logistics layout had always been like this.
Setting up distribution centers, distribution stores, and warehousing centers in various places was actually to build a logistics circle.
Now, Li Dong just wanted to gather these industries together. Warehousing centers, distribution centers … They were all gathered in the logistics park to form a focus of industries. This could reduce the various costs of Far Away by a lot.
Moreover, forming a cluster of industries would also help Far Away expand its influence and control over the local logistics system.
When all the express delivery companies, logistics companies, and warehousing companies gathered their industries in the Far Away logistics park.
As the manager, Li Dong could use this convenience to exert influence on these enterprises.
And the concentration of industries was also a good thing for the local government.
This kind of thing, either the local government took the lead, or it needed a strong and capable enterprise to take the lead.
And Far Away had the strength and ability to do this.
If Far Away wanted to do it, there was no reason not to support it.
Although Li Dong had only proposed this plan and hadn't implemented it in detail, some of the places he went to, the government leaders had already revealed a lot of hidden intentions.
As long as the land was not in the urban area, as long as the land in the suburbs was empty, it would not be difficult to claim it for free.
Some of the infrastructure work would be completed with the help of the government. Three connections and one leveling was the foundation. Far Away near the logistics park, if the conditions permitted, the government would build some traffic arteries to smooth the logistics.
In addition, if Far Away provided a large number of local jobs, the local government would also provide various preferential policies.
In the past, these policies needed to be obtained from Far Away.
Now, it was the other way around. In order to retain Far Away, these local governments would take the initiative to give.
A logistics park that gathered warehousing, express delivery, and logistics industries would provide a lot of jobs, tax revenue, and the convenience brought by smooth logistics could all increase the local strength.
Based on this, the local government would naturally give the most favorable plan to attract Li Dong.
…
It was not November 11th yet, the e-commerce war had not started, and the acquisition of the big companies had not been carried out …
At this time, Li Dong's large logistics circle strategy had once again become the focus of discussion in the business world.
Many people were emotional. What were they emotional about?
They were emotional about Li Dong's ability to become the focus of public opinion, not to mention other abilities.
In the current Hua Xia business world, no matter how big the actions of other companies were, it could not be compared to the impact of a few words from Li Dong.
It was just a large logistics circle strategy that was still in the planning stage. Before it was implemented, some local news and media had already started to discuss it in depth.
Every move of Li Dong could become the focus of public opinion at any time. This made many people envious and helpless.
This was also what Hu Xiaorui had said. Li Dong would not be ordinary. He would not be ordinary at any time.
He was a mark of this era. His contemporaries, entrepreneurs, and the general public would not forget him.
Even if he had fallen from grace, even if he had fallen from grace.
But the name Li Dong had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
A few years later, he might be replaced by a new person. But as long as the current generation was still alive, no one would be able to forget this extraordinary person.
