East Garden.
When Li Dong returned to Great Plains, he immediately went to the East Garden.
…
He had not seen her for more than ten days. What impressed Li Dong the most was that his daughter seemed to have grown up a lot.
The little girl was not shy at all. After a while, she became intimate with Li Dong.
In the living room.
Shen Qian was full of smiles when she saw the father and daughter enjoying themselves.
Shen Qian seemed to have thought of something. She glanced at Li Dong and suddenly asked, "Are you disappointed this time?"
Li Dong looked up with a blank look on his face.
Shen Qian chuckled. "Keep pretending!"
Li Dong said innocently, "What's there to pretend about?"
Shen Qian looked at him and shook her head. "Sometimes, I really don't understand you. Sometimes, you're scary mature. Sometimes, you're cute. "
Helplessness was written all over Li Dong's face. He said gloomily, "Are you sure you're talking about me?"
"What do you think?"
Shen Qian smiled. "Do you really think I don't know what you're thinking?"
Li Dong felt a little guilty. "I don't understand what you're talking about."
Shen Qian was no longer busy at this time. She walked to his side and sat down. She caressed her daughter's cheek and said helplessly, "You are really childish sometimes. I didn't mention Yuan Xue and I didn't want to. "
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Shen Qian ignored him and continued, "This time, you suddenly changed your plan and started a war in the entire retail industry. I'm afraid it's because you want to fail. Far away, you don't want your efforts to go to waste. Far away, you don't care. Far away, you want to see something more clearly. I don't know if you're testing me or someone else. Or maybe you're testing yourself … "
Li Dong immediately said, "I'm not testing anyone's thoughts …"
Shen Qian glanced at him and said somewhat helplessly, "Alright, whether it is or not, it proves that you are childish.
I'm afraid you don't want to see an easy victory in this Double 11.
What you want to see is your online and offline opponents working together to suppress Far away, or even defeat Far away.
In the end, he didn't expect that he would use too much force and scare others instead.
You probably did not expect China Resources to admit defeat so easily.
I guess when Huarun Real Estate compromised, you cursed them in your heart. "
Li Dong said embarrassedly, "There's no such thing."
"Hehe!"
Shen Qian's face was full of disdain as she said in disdain, "I said you're childish, but you still won't admit it.
What are you trying to prove?
See clearly what?
You want to prove that if you fail, no one will look up to you?
Or do you think you're ordinary now that you've fallen from grace?
If Ma Yun failed this time, General Manager Ma's wife would divorce him and no longer love him?
Tencent's Ma Huateng's family broke up?
Do you think women are so shallow that they only look at the results?
For us, it's more about the process, and the results are not important.
Money, power, these things are really important to us.
Whether it's me, Hu Xiaorui, or Qin Yuhan, do you think we're all here for money?
Li Dong, you look down on women in the world too much.
You're good at everything, but you're too unconfident. Do you think you'll be abandoned if you fail? What are you thinking?
It's hard for outsiders to believe that the legend in their eyes, Li Dong, would be so unconfident!
Even I didn't dare to believe it before.
But this time, I can see clearly that you're not confident, and even afraid of something.
We're husband and wife, so tell me, what are you afraid of? "
Li Dong's face was a little ugly, and he was not in a hurry to speak.
He gently pinched his daughter's little face. After a while, Li Dong shook his head and said, "You're right, some of it is your own thoughts.
Actually, it's not that I'm unconfident, but sometimes, I feel that everything is unreal.
Lele's birth made me sober up a little.
But I still feel that it's not enough, as if I'm living in a dream.
This time, I actually wanted to see if the moment of failure Far away can make me see the world more clearly.
But who knew … "
As Li Dong spoke, he suddenly felt speechless and said, "Who knew that Old Ma and the rest are so useless. I've already ridden on their necks and shit on them, but none of them dared to fight back!
As for Huarun, I just casually said a few words, but they easily admitted defeat.
Run Tai, I haven't even done anything, and they're already in a hurry to surrender.
As for Great Shang, even if I didn't say anything, Niu Gang would probably be ready to compromise.
Tell me, what else can I do?
I really didn't prepare anything this time. I thought that if everyone and the platform united, if we really fought, I might not be their match.
It's true that the 300 billion financing plan was a success, but the money Far away has is not unlimited.
It's impossible for me to burn all of it in one go. Even if I agree, the others won't agree.
In the end, I didn't spend much money, and these people were frightened by me and crippled.
Until now, I … I don't know what to say. "
Li Dong had an innocent look on his face. He did not expect to win so easily on the Double Eleven.
Shen Qian was speechless. She looked at him and thought for a while before asking, "Why did you suddenly have such a thought?"
Li Dong rubbed his cheeks and shook his head. "Maybe it's because success came too easily, and it made me confused. However, now that things had come to this, I understood that hoping for Faraway Lands to fail once and allow me to see through everything would only be self-deceiving. Forget it, let's not talk about these things. When I'm done with this, I want to go out for a walk. "
Shen Qian hurriedly asked, "Where?"
Some things flashed in Li Dong's mind. After a while, he said, "I don't know. I'll think about it when the time comes.
When this trip is over, I'll know what I want, and I'll be able to see through everything completely.
All these years, I've been suppressing some things in my heart. Most of the time, I'm always afraid, confused, and at a loss.
I always feel a little scared and worried about gains and losses.
I always want to suppress these things and prove my existence, but in the end, it can't make me feel at ease.
If I go out for a walk and come back, I'll probably be able to let it go. "
His unclear words made Shen Qian a little worried. She couldn't help but blame herself. "Should I not have said this?"
Li Dong shook his head and said with a smile, "It has nothing to do with you. It's my own reason.
Actually, the existence of you and Lele makes me not feel depressed all the time.
In the past few years, I've been using work to numb myself. Maybe I'm also avoiding some things to prevent myself from letting my imagination run wild.
Now, I don't want to continue to avoid it. I want to see the truth clearly.
After all, I'm still young, and the future is still long. It's not good to keep going like this.
Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about something else … "
Li Dong changed the topic. For him, rebirth was indeed the biggest secret in the depths of his heart.
Once a person had a secret and couldn't tell others, over time, this burden would become heavier and heavier.
A few years ago, Li Dong could still use other things to numb himself and not let himself think about these things.
But now, he had to think about it.
As he said, he was still young, and the future was still long. Having a stone in his heart made him not so happy.
Success in his career and happiness in his family should have made him excited and satisfied. But when there was a gap in the middle, it couldn't be perfect.
Only by removing this big stone could he live the rest of his life relaxed and happy.
Although Shen Qian was worried, she couldn't persuade Li Dong if he didn't say anything.
At this time, the matters of Yuan Xue, Qin Yuhan, and the rest were not that important in Shen Qian's heart.
…
November 16th.
Far away from the building.
Chen Lang said excitedly, "We've signed an agreement with Great Shang and a few other companies.
This time, we've completely unified the domestic retail industry!
As for Great Shang, we've become the largest shareholder with 25% of the shares. Next, we'll announce the suspension of trading and restructure the management of Great Shang.
As for the Wushang Alliance, we've signed a transfer agreement with them.
Currently, the Wushang Alliance holds 35% of the shares of Zhongbai, 28% of the shares of Great Shang, and 26% of the shares of Ewu Shang. They're all the largest shareholders.
And Longhua currently holds 17% of the shares of Zhongbai. If we take over Longhua's shares, we'll have absolute control over Zhongbai.
Yintai holds 18% of the shares of Great Shang. If we take over Yintai's shares, we can also maintain an absolute leadership position over Great Shang.
As for Huachuang, not only will we take over their retail system, but we'll also take over their logistics and warehousing.
As for Run Tai, Gao Xin's 15% shares have also started the handover. As for Ji Xin, we've already informed Auchan. Auchan is in a mess now.
Auchan's headquarters is making a decision, and I think it won't be long before they make a decision.
Withdrawing from Hua Xia is the highest possibility.
Now, among the major retail companies in Hua Xia, only Far away, Suning, Wal-Mart, and Bailian are left.
As for the other three companies, even if we don't make any moves, they won't be able to shake our foundation.
I didn't expect that this Double 11 would bring about such a huge chain reaction! "
Chen Lang was filled with emotions, but Yuan Chengdao was calmer than him. He said slowly, "Mr. Chen, it's a big problem to integrate and integrate so many industries at once. It's even more troublesome than the acquisition! I think you know this better than I do. Huachuang has acquired Suguo for many years, but there are still many problems left. Far away is even more troublesome than Huachuang's acquisition of Suguo! The acquisition is just the beginning. If we can't integrate these companies into Far Away, not only will we not increase the strength of Far Away, but we will also drag Far Away down. "
Chen Lang said with a serious face, "I know this. In the next few years, our main goal is to integrate all the resources."
Yuan Chengdao didn't mention this too much as everyone knew about it.
But when he looked at Li Dong, Yuan Chengdao felt that his boss might not know. He said, "Mr. Liu, can you report in detail to General Manager Li about the expenditure this time …"
Li Dong glanced at him and didn't say anything.
He knew that the expenditure this time would be huge, but he didn't know how much it would be.
Li Dong only gave a general direction when negotiating with the other companies, and the rest was discussed by his subordinates.
He was too busy these days. Although there was a summary of all the information, Li Dong didn't have time to look at it.
Seeing that Li Dong didn't refuse, Liu Hongmei said, "The expenditure for this Double 11 is not low. Far Away Mall, Wan Tong, logistics, warehousing, etc., a total of 2.7 billion was spent … And on Double 11, the online transaction volume reached 100 billion, and the offline store business was also good that day … "
According to Liu Hongmei's summary, Far Away didn't make any money.
The key was that Wan Tong didn't charge any fees this time. Instead, they gave some subsidies.
Otherwise, Far Away would still be profitable.
In the end, they didn't make any profit or loss. However, the staff subsidies, bonuses, the purchase of logistics vehicles … These money were all earned back.
So far Away still made a lot of money.
Making money was actually secondary. The important thing was that there were other additional effects this time, which were more important than making money.
Next, Liu Hongmei continued to talk about other expenses. The majority of the expenses were naturally the money for the acquisition of various companies.
"On Da Shang's side, including the shares acquired by East Star, we acquired 25% of Da Shang's shares, which cost a total of 5.468 million …"
"The transfer of shares of three companies under the Alliance of Wushang cost 4.85 billion …"
"Acquisition of Wumart at an agreed price of 15 billion …"
"Run Tai's 15% shares of Gao Xin cost 5 billion …"
"Huachuang was sold as a whole. In addition to Huarun Vanguard, Huachuang also has Snow Beer, Wu Feng Hang Ltd., Huarun Real Estate, Huarun Logistics, Huarun Yibao … a series of subsidiary industries. Huachuang also spent the most money in this acquisition, with a total purchase price of 34 billion. "
"In addition, the previous acquisition of Baijia also cost 15 billion in various aspects. As well as the establishment of thousands of stores in the south, the expenditure is as high as 10 billion … "
Everyone's eyelids twitched every time Liu Hongmei said this.
Chen Lang was excited before, but that was because he subconsciously forgot how much money was spent.
At this time, Chen Lang couldn't be excited anymore.
This time, in order to unify Hua Xia's retail industry, they spent too much!
Some companies didn't reach the point of absolute control. With Li Dong's character, he would definitely continue to increase the proportion of shares Far away, which would be another huge expenditure.
In the end, just now, the expenditure had reached nearly 100 billion!
Yuan Chengdao glanced at Li Dong. Seeing that Li Dong didn't have any reaction, he coughed lightly and said, "As for Da Shang and the Alliance of Wushang, according to the plan, we will continue to increase our shares. If we want to achieve absolute control, I'm afraid the expenditure will not be less than 10 billion. If Ou Shang withdraws, we will have to take over all of Gao Xin's shares. Gao Xin's value is not low, and the proportion of its own property is not low. If we want to complete the acquisition, we will need at least 20 billion. According to General Manager Li, we will continue to add a lot of our own property. After calculating, I'm afraid the expenditure will exceed 200 billion … "
200 billion!
After Yuan Chengdao finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Although they had raised 300 billion in funds Far away, it had only been a few days.
The financing was completed in November, and by the end of the year, more than half of it would have been spent.
The speed of spending money was so fast that Far away could not be found in the country.
One must know that half of the money was to be invested in the international market, including Far away City.
If they invested in the construction of Far away City now, 300 billion would be spent in the country directly!
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but look at Li Dong. Previously, when Li Dong said that they would raise 300 billion, everyone thought he was crazy. Could he finish spending so much money?
If he took a few years to finish spending it, wouldn't he have wasted a few years of interest?
But now, it had only been a few days?
More than half of the funds were gone!
In terms of spending ability, everyone had to admire it even if they didn't want to.
To think that they thought 300 billion was a lot. Now looking back, was 300 billion a lot?
Li Dong could finish spending 300 billion in a month!
Thinking of this, everyone felt a toothache. Was it really okay to spend the money so quickly?
As they were thinking, Li Dong heard this and thought for a while. He said, "The remaining money still needs to be reserved for the acquisition of Taobao. This time, I intend to integrate the shopping mall and Far away Retail, and complete the integration of online and offline. With that, if we invest in Far away City, is it not enough? "
"Not enough …"
Everyone silently repeated this sentence in their hearts. 300 billion. It had only been half a month, and Li Dong asked them if it was not enough?
Yuan Chengdao's mouth twitched for a while, and he didn't say a word.
At this moment, the others didn't know what to say either.
Li Dong didn't care about them. The money was in his hands, and naturally, it had to be spent.
The faster he spent it, the smaller the losses of Far away City.
Of course, this speed was indeed a little fast. Li Dong didn't expect to complete the acquisition of other companies so quickly.
With that, there was no money for the overseas investments.
But that wasn't what he said when he raised the funds. Now that the money was spent, and he hadn't expanded overseas, Far away City would probably have a lot of trouble.
After thinking for a while, Li Dong looked at everyone and said, "First, think of a way to obtain absolute control of the Wushang Alliance, Gao Xin, and Da Shang. Then, let the Wushang Alliance and Da Shang exit the market, and reorganize.
After we acquire Taobao and complete the integration of the online resources, we will also complete the integration of the offline resources.
At that time, Far Away Retail will be listed, and I think we won't be short of money to enter the international market.
Now, it's almost impossible to raise funds through other means. Only by getting listed will there be hope.
"Once we complete the integration of the online and offline resources, we won't be much worse than Wal-Mart in terms of revenue.
"Moreover, investors will favor online more than offline, and the integration of online and offline is the trend.
"Once we get listed, I think the value of Far Away Retail will not be lower than Wal-Mart. What do you think?"
"Get listed!"
The others were a little stunned. Far Away Retail was going to be listed?
And it was only listed after integrating the online resources!
Far Away Retail's value would be high once it got listed. Even they couldn't estimate it at this time.
Far Away Retail had acquired many listed companies in the past few years.
Gome, Da Shang, Wushang Alliance, and Wumart were all listed companies. Now, they were all integrated together by Far Away Retail. Together with other companies and Far Away Retail, how high was the value of Far Away Retail?
300 billion?
500 billion?
Or more than a trillion?
In the meeting room, many people swallowed their saliva. No one expected Li Dong to suddenly propose to list Far Away Retail.
Far Away Retail's current value would not be lower than Wal-Mart's once the integration of the resources was completed and the online resources were included.
Wal-Mart was strong online and offline, but Far Away Retail became a legend this time. Even if the revenue was not as high as Wal-Mart's, the value of the online resources was much higher than the offline companies with the same revenue.
Now, Wal-Mart's market value was more than 200 billion USD.
What about Far Away Retail?
For a moment, everyone was lost in their thoughts, and no one spoke.
