Meeting room.
The executives were excited when Li Dong mentioned the listing.
How strong is Far Away Retail?
If Li Dong can integrate Far Away Mall, Taobao, and Far Away Mall into Far Away Retail, Far Away Mall will be the world's biggest online platform.
Not only B2C, but C2C will also be the same.
Amazon's B2C business is not as strong as Far Away Mall. Now, Amazon's market value is more than 30 billion USD, and it is approaching the 40 billion mark.
Of course, Amazon's coverage is bigger than Far Away Mall.
But it is still 2009, and Amazon's coverage is not big. Far Away Mall's coverage will not be smaller than Amazon's if they can acquire Taobao.
Far Away Mall's performance is much higher than Amazon's, and Li Dong's personal influence is on par with Amazon's.
Even if they do not integrate Far Away Mall into the market, everyone feels that its market value will not be lower than Amazon's.
Online and offline businesses will work together. After witnessing the hundreds of billions of RMB a day, everyone in the business world knows that this is the trend of new retail.
This way, there will be more value added.
Far Away Mall's offline business is still strong, and many people feel that it has more potential than Wal-Mart.
After it is listed, its market value might not exceed Wal-Mart, but there is still a chance.
200 billion USD!
Everyone's eyes brighten up when they think of this figure.
In the business world, everyone is fighting for fame and fortune.
This sentence is applicable to the rest of the world.
Even if Li Dong said that he didn't care about money or fame, he wouldn't agree to it if he was stripped of all his fame and fortune.
To Yuan Chengdao and the rest, everyone had been waiting for Far Away Mall to be listed for a long time.
Compared to the IT industry, Weibo and Tencent had created miracles and brought wealth to everyone.
But Far Away Mall is the foundation of Far Away Mall, and everyone knows this now.
Weibo and Tencent Mall can collapse, but Far Away Mall will be the last to collapse.
Looking at all the companies in the world, other industries have been experiencing ups and downs, but retail companies have always been as stable as Mount Tai.
Far away executives almost all held the original shares of Far away Retail.
Far away retail is listed. Even if they can't create more profits than Weibo or Tencent, they can at least hold the shares in their hands.
Far away, they had been struggling for several years and had always felt like they were walking on a tightrope.
Even if Far away had entered the world's top 500, even if Far Away's fame was at its peak, everyone still felt a strong sense of crisis.
The source of the sense of danger was Li Dong, who was sitting in the middle.
This young man was bold and unconstrained. You would never be able to guess what he would do next.
Will it be dangerous this time?
Extremely dangerous!
It was not only because of those companies, but the bigger crisis was actually in financing.
This time, the ABS financing seemed to be extremely smooth. Other than some waves in the early stages, almost no one cared about the later stages.
But Yuan Chengdao and the others were watching this every day. They paid more attention to this than the November 11th.
Once the financing failed, Li Dong was used to spending lavishly in the early stages. He did not even leave a way out.
At that time, he would be targeted by other companies. It would not be a joke if the huge Far Away was defeated because of a financing failure.
Moreover, the consequences of the financing failure were terrible.
If it was not because of the 300 billion Far Away had, would Huarun have compromised?
Would the big Chamber of Commerce admit defeat?
Would Runtai give up working with Auchan?
Would Suning worry about Far Away being taken advantage of?
None of them!
At that time, things would be completely different.
At this time, Li Dong was in the mood to complain that those companies were not good enough. He was in the mood to scold Old Ma for being a good-for-nothing. All of this was based on the 300 billion Far Away had received!
Without the 300 billion, Li Dong would not be able to say such words.
Without the 300 billion, Ma Yun and other companies might really be able to cripple Far Away on November 11th.
But the 300 billion financing was actually a gamble. It was a huge gamble!
At this time, Li Dong dared to gamble. Yuan Chengdao and the others did not dare to gamble anymore.
Far Away was not only for the future but also to reassure them.
Even if Li Dong was still a dictator, there would still be some restrictions for a listed company.
Other than restricting Li Dong, Far Away's large scale retail company going public would also instantly have countless stakeholders.
At that time, as long as there were no major changes, Far Away would really be as stable as Mount Tai.
Yuan Chengdao and the others were not too old. They were actually not worried about Far Away's development. Now that Far Away had developed to this point, everyone felt that it was time to slow down.
They would first settle down for a period of time before slowly making plans. They had time to wait.
Far Away's retail listing was successful and stable for a few years. Far Away's future would be even broader.
In the past, only a few people hoped for Far Away's retail listing. But now, most of the executives hoped for this.
But no one dared to mention this!
Yuan Chengdao had mentioned this many times in the past. Every time, it was to no avail. He even almost lost his position as Far Away's CEO.
Now, Li Dong mentioned it himself!
…
When Li Dong mentioned going public, Yuan Chengdao did not care about anything else. He immediately said, "General Manager Li, now is the right time to go public!
If the scale is bigger, it would be difficult to go public.
Now that Far Away's influence has reached its peak, stability will be the main focus in the next few years.
Going public at this time, be it influence, strength, or attractiveness to investors, will be the peak.
Also, after going public, the sword hanging over our heads will fall.
Far Away's financing this time, in addition to the previous loans, payments, and debts, is now close to 400 billion!
To a retail group, this figure is shocking.
After going public, the retail group will increase in size, and there will be more shareholders. There will be more ways to deal with the crisis. Whether it is increasing shares or bringing in new shareholders, it will be easier than now.
IPO can also raise a lot of funds, and it can also solve a lot of problems for us.
Far Away will be able to expand our influence again, and it will also be beneficial for us to expand overseas.
In addition, after going public, we can acquire some companies. We can also use less of our existing funds. It will be easier and more acceptable if we adopt private placement … "
Yuan Chengdao said a lot of advantages in one go. Li Dong did not mind. After he finished, he smiled and said, "Even if you don't say it, I understand.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages.
Far Away has always been mysterious to the outside world. Why is it mysterious?
The mysterious thing is that the outside world does not know how strong we are and how many trump cards we have.
After going public, there will be more transparency, and some things will not be secrets anymore.
But now, Far Away does not need to be cautious anymore. It can only be done step by step, for fear of being seen through.
At this time, even if they are seen through, if they want to target Far Away, they have to have the ability to do so.
However, Far Away wants to go public, it is not something that can be done overnight. The scale is too large, and the system is too messy. It will not be a small project to successfully sort out the acquired companies and include Far Away.
Also, whether to go public in Hong Kong or to go public in A shares has to be considered.
In addition, how to adjust the equity structure, and whether to introduce some strategic investors before the IPO also has to be considered.
After all these things are done, I am afraid that the listing will only be in the second half of next year.
So now, it is only a preliminary proposal. Whether it can go public or not depends on the subsequent development.
Also, Far Away Mall has been included in Far Away Retail. Does the logistics need to be integrated as a whole?
Far Away invests in the shares of the various cooperative enterprises, and does it need to be included?
If they are all included in this system, the scale of Far Away Retail will be even larger. How can we adjust the gains and losses of various interests?
These things need to be weighed by everyone. "
Li Dong spoke for a while. Even though he said so much, the others were still in high spirits and did not seem to be discouraged at all.
These are all small troubles, and they can be solved slowly.
In short, in their opinion, Li Dong's proposal to go public is the greatest success.
These troubles do not need Li Dong to arrange. They will solve them smoothly and let Far Away Retail go public smoothly.
Seeing everyone's expression, Li Dong smiled. Everyone in the world comes for benefits.
Why did he mention going public today?
After a match of doubles, these people's spirit, energy, and spirit were all beaten up.
They are invincible in the country, and they have no money for international expansion. What should they do next?
If he does not do something big at this time to divert everyone's attention, Li Dong is almost sure that there will be internal strife next.
One lives in hardship and dies in peace!
When there are no external enemies, these people who have been fighting for a few years will quickly fall into the vortex of power and profit once they lose their sense of crisis.
Li Dong previously told Yuan Xue that even if he wants to leave, he will not let Far Away Retail collapse just like that.
Li Dong did not care if the double eleven was defeated. As the loser of the business competition, he will enjoy the treatment of the loser and will not be remembered by others.
However, internal strife caused Far Away Retail to collapse, and Li Dong will not be able to enjoy such treatment. At that time, as the controlling party of Far Away, Li Dong will not be able to live peacefully even if he wanted to.
Now that he threw out the bait of going public, everyone's energy will be focused on it. This will also be beneficial for Li Dong to make some arrangements and adjustments in the future.
Far Away Retail going public is not something that can be done overnight. It requires everyone to work together to push it forward.
Without these people stirring up trouble, it will be easier for Li Dong to straighten out Far Away Retail.
When the company is big, even if Li Dong has the absolute controlling stake, he will have to consider many things at this time. It is no longer the situation in the past where he can get rid of whoever he wants to.
Next, the entire conference room is discussing Far Away Retail's IPO plan.
This includes whether Far Away City needs to be included in the system, how to complete the acquisition of the remaining shares of other companies, how to complete the integration as soon as possible, and let Far Away Retail go public smoothly …
Is it better to go public in Xiangjiang or A shares?
As for the United States, no one has considered it.
Hua Xia is the largest retail giant in China, or rather, the only retail overlord. It would be stupid to go public in the United States.
Everyone is talking about it, and while they are talking, many people are congratulating Sun Tao in a low voice.
Sun Tao is also one of the big winners this time!
During the Double 11 period, Sun Tao is in charge of the South, and his performance is very good.
In addition, Gao Xin and Wal-Mart did not make trouble, and Huarun just watched the situation develop, and Bailian took a defensive position. Sun Tao did not encounter too much difficulty in the South. Instead, he advanced by leaps and bounds and began to enter the South China region.
November 28th is also Sun Tao's wedding date. Sun Tao, who is nearly 40 years old, is finally getting married, which is also a great event.
Now, Li Dong proposes to go public in Far Away Retail, and Sun Tao is the biggest winner among all the people present besides Li Dong!
Today, in Far Away Retail, Li Dong holds 70% of the shares, the major alliance companies hold a total of 20%, Hsu Shengzhe holds 5%, Sun Tao holds 3%, and the other senior executives hold a total of 2%.
Even after the integration into the mall, the shares are diluted, after the introduction of strategic investors, and after the listing, the shares are diluted again …
Despite the repeated dilution, Sun Tao's shares were still more than all the executives in the room combined.
The others are rich, but Sun Tao is even richer.
At this time, whether it is envy or jealousy, everyone can't help but congratulate him.
He made contributions in the South, and he is going to get married. When he gets married, Far Away Retail is preparing to go public. What is this if not a big winner in life?
Far Away Retail is not listed. Although Sun Tao holds shares, does he dare to sell?
He does not dare!
No one dares to take it!
At this time, no matter how high the value of Far Away Retail is, Sun Tao is a nominal tycoon.
But once it goes public, it is completely different.
Li Dong has no restrictions on Sun Tao. He can cash out a part of it when it goes public, or after it goes public.
At this moment, Sun Tao could be considered as a real tycoon.
Sun Tao, who holds 3% of Far Away Retail shares, is likely to have a net worth of more than 10 billion after it goes public!
The possibility is high!
At this moment, everyone naturally congratulated him in advance.
Also, recently, Li Dong has the intention to leave Far Away Retail, and the senior executives can see it.
Once Li Dong leaves, it seems that the most likely successor is between Sun Tao and Yuan Chengdao.
If Sun Tao takes over, then Sun Tao will not be a small figure in the global business world.
…
Seeing that these people no longer complain about being tired, and no longer mention the difficulties, Li Dong can't help but laugh.
Previously, these fellows were all complaining incessantly, fearing that Li Dong would make another move.
Now that the listing is mentioned, all of them are alive. It seems that this person is indeed a profit-seeking person.
He doesn't care about them, as long as these people are motivated. Only with motivation can they execute.
Li Dong believes that in the future, they will speed up the acquisition and integration of the major companies, and when they acquire the remaining shares, no one will complain about spending too much money.
Tasks that originally needed a year to complete can be completed in half a year or even faster with motivation.
He doesn't need to take the initiative to exploit and oppress them, which is a good thing.
Li Dong is not interested in the details of their discussion about the listing. Looking at the time, Li Dong interrupted everyone and said, "Let's take it slow, there's no hurry. Have you all prepared the press conference I asked you to prepare? "
Yuan Chengdao, who was discussing with Chen Lang, immediately said, "The press conference will be held on the 18th at 10 am. Everything has been arranged."
Li Dong nodded, looked at the time again, thought for a while, and said, "I will go to East Star and Longhua first to talk to them and transfer the shares they acquired. East Star is fine, but Longhua Hsu Shengzhe won't act until he sees the rabbit. Far away's retail listing will spread sooner or later. Before he knows, let's take back Zhongbai's shares, lest he holds onto it. "
On Zhongbai's side, Longhua's shares are not low.
Once they know the purpose of Far Away, they will complete the integration and get Far Away listed. Li Dong will be extorted by him.
Let's take advantage of the time difference to take back the shares first.
Since Li Dong said so, the others didn't say anything. Zhongbai's status in the Martial and Business Alliance is not low, and Far Away naturally needs to be controlled.
Longhua is ambitious. Although Hsu Shengzhe and Li Dong have a good relationship, Li Dong can control Hsu Shengzhe, but others don't have the confidence.
While Li Dong is still in power, it is more suitable for him to do some things.
…
Even after Li Dong left, the people in the meeting room didn't disperse. They continued to discuss the arrangements for Far Away's retail listing.
After some time, someone suddenly said, "If the retail group goes public, Far Away will probably be a real trillion-dollar group, right?"
As soon as this was said, everyone was a little dazed.
Once upon a time, when Far Away had not reached 100 billion, Li Dong said that 100 billion was not the goal, and that trillion was not too far away.
When Li Dong said this, who would take it seriously?
At that time, it didn't even reach 100 billion!
Even if it reached 100 billion, no one dared to think of breaking through to trillion.
There are as many domestic companies as there are hairs on a cow. Don't look at the assets, just look at the market value of listed companies. Currently, there are only three companies with a market value of more than a trillion RMB under Hua Xia.
Oil, China Mobile, ICBC, these are the three companies with a market value of more than a trillion RMB.
And these three companies are ranked second, fourth, and fifth among the listed companies in the world by market value.
In other words, once Far Away gets listed, based on market value alone, it is very likely that Far Away will enter the top ten in the world.
If Weibo, Tencent, and other listed companies are included, Far Away's market value is very likely to enter the top ten in the world!
Thinking of this, the people who were still discussing previously all quieted down.
Six years!
Six years to build the world's number one company by market value. Even though they have experienced it personally, they still feel a little dazed.
Li Dong felt like he is in a dream. In fact, it is not only him, even Yuan Chengdao and the rest have the same feeling.
Many people can't help but look out of the door. When they saw Li Dong's back slowly disappearing from their sight, they suddenly felt an indescribable fear.
Demon!
