Far away E-Commerce's integration into the retail group was an established plan.
Even though the Shang and Gao Xin families had not been resolved, Far away had begun to prepare for integration.
Of course, before this, it was Far away E-Commerce's internal integration.
Tan Haiying had been busy with the handover with Ali recently, and Kong Xiangyu was also doing the handover with Xingchen Express and Rookie Logistics.
The acquisition funds from Taobao had not been paid yet.
Unlike Huachuang, Far away Retail had money, so naturally they could pay in one go.
However, there was not much money available for the mall.
If they did not integrate into the retail group, Far Away Mall would not have the money to pay for the acquisition.
Only by integrating into the retail group could they pay in full in the name of the retail group.
Ma Yun had been urging him every day, and Li Dong could not keep dragging him. Knowing that he was going to make a move, the integration of the mall became a top priority.
…
Far away Building.
It was not the first time that the e-commerce and offline systems worked together. In fact, it was not difficult for both sides to integrate.
The key was not whether the integration was successful or not, but the two aspects of finance and personnel.
The retail group integrated into the e-commerce would be larger, and there would naturally be changes in personnel.
Not to mention, Li Dong also proposed that Dong Yu be integrated into Far away Retail.
It was not purely Dong Yu, but mainly Far away City.
Of course, there were also the employees' residential areas under construction.
Far away Retail had the most employees in Far away Retail. 70% of the residential areas under construction were provided for Far away Retail.
This part of the employees' residential areas would also be integrated into Far away Retail, and the property companies under Far away Retail would be responsible.
It was not a small matter to add so many things at once, and they could not be careless.
A little carelessness could cause a series of problems.
For example, not everyone in Dong Yu Real Estate would leave. As the group's sequence, many people had very high ranks.
How would these people be arranged?
If they entered Far away Retail together, they would be arranged to subordinate property companies. The property company's CEO's rank was not as high as some of these people. How could they command?
From the group sequence to become a subsidiary of the retail group, there would always be people who would be dissatisfied.
Also, the retail group did not belong to Li Dong alone. There were many people involved.
In terms of e-commerce, the original mall still had 10% shares. Now it was integrated with Taobao, and it would be integrated into Far away Retail. How would these shares be converted?
Dong Yu was easy. The shares were simple, and other things needed to be measured.
How to satisfy everyone? This was a very challenging thing.
Distance Retail was easy to convert. Fixed assets and other things had tangible value. However, it was more difficult to calculate how to convert them into value in the online shopping mall.
Other shareholders were not willing. Far away Retail was high.
If the discount was too high, the other shareholders of the retail side would not be willing.
Other shareholders were not willing. Other shareholders were willing.
Conference. Conference.
Li Dong couldn't remember how many meetings he had had this month.
In the conference room, the quarreling executives gave him a headache.
Tan Haiying, who had just returned from Lin 'an, came back alone. Lu Zhaoxi, the current president of Taobao, also came to the headquarters with her to report.
As the two people in charge of the platform, Dong Yu must consult them about the integration of the mall into the retail group.
In the end, for some reason, these guys started quarreling as they talked.
Tan Haiying said excitedly. "Far Away Mall is the world's biggest e-commerce platform!
Even if it was split up, Distance Mall alone would surpass Amazon.
Not to mention, our C2C business, after merging with Taobao, will also reach the top of the world.
Everyone can see the trend of online development. Online shopping is taking up more and more of the consumer goods market.
With the development of the mobile internet, e-commerce will be the mainstream in the future!
I am not trying to belittle physical retail. But everyone must recognize the fact that online shopping platforms are more valuable than physical retail.
Look at the world. Even Wal-Mart and Wal-Mart are only worth 200 billion USD.
But Amazon?
Amazon's profits are less than one-tenth of Wal-Mart, but its market value is approaching 40 billion USD.
Currently, e-commerce was still in a golden period of development.
But for offline retail, without online cooperation, it is already in its sunset period.
Far Away Mall achieved 100 billion USD in one day. No matter how they promote offline, it is impossible to achieve that.
Far Away Mall's value is much higher than what everyone thinks!
I will be the first to disagree with you belittling the value of Far Away Mall! "
Chen Lang said with a headache, "Director Tan, no one is belittling the value of e-commerce. In fact, we have seen everything you said. But potential is potential. Far Away Mall has not made any profits yet. We have to be realistic. Over at the retail group, the shareholders were also making a ruckus. Many of them do not agree with the acquisition of Taobao's business, especially when they know that Far Away Mall has to pay for it … "
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Zhaoxi, who was specially present at the meeting, interrupted him with a smile, "Mr. Chen, Taobao and its various businesses were acquired at a price of 4.5 billion USD. The shareholders of the retail group practically picked up a big bargain. At this time, they are actually against the acquisition because they need to pay for it. What a joke. Don't they understand that Taobao is worth 4.5 billion USD in Ali, but once it enters Far Away and becomes a part of Far Away Mall, it will be worth 10 billion USD or even more? "
Chen Lang did not agree with what he said. Of course, he did not refute it.
Taobao was worth 4.5 billion USD in Ali, but Far Away Mall might not be worth more.
Li Dong's purpose of acquiring Taobao was to save time. To many people, Far Away Mall could develop to this stage in a year's time even without Taobao.
Spending tens of billions just to save a year's time, was it really worth it?
Shen Guojun and the others were not stupid. It was not that they could not see the value of Taobao, but it was not that much of a profit.
Moreover, they had a different perspective. In order to help themselves obtain the most benefits, many of these people even personally came to Pingchuan after knowing that they had to integrate into Distance E-Commerce, just to lower the value of Distance Mall.
According to these people, Taobao was counted separately. After it was integrated into Far Away Mall, the retail group would pay for the acquisition, and it would not be counted as part of Far Away Mall's system.
Moreover, the logistics part had to be cleared, and the logistics group would take over and pay for the acquisition.
The mall that Far Away Mall was integrated into this time was mainly Far Away Mall and Wanjia Web.
And this part, according to their private agreement, was worth 70 billion USD.
Slightly more than 10 billion USD was what they could accept.
There was almost nothing else in Far Away Mall and Wanjia Web. The main self-operated logistics and warehousing system were now in the hands of the logistics group.
Without these things, the valuation given by the standalone platform and data center was not considered low to everyone.
They also knew that Li Dong was overbearing and did not dare to push the price too far.
70 billion USD was not included in the logistics and warehousing, and it did not even include Taobao. Was it low?
At the very least, Shen Guojun and Hsu Shengzhe felt that it was not low.
This was because of Li Dong. If it was someone else, the price would be even lower.
Previously, when Tencent invested in Far Away Mall, the discount was even lower.
At that time, Li Dong announced to the public that he had exchanged 10% of the mall's shares for 6 billion USD.
But that was only to the public. In fact, it was 4 billion USD in cash, and with the addition of Pai Pai Net, the total value was about 5 billion USD.
That was in March. Now, nine months had passed. From the initial 50 billion USD to the current 70 billion USD, it had increased by 40% in less than a year. Everyone felt that it was about right.
Just now, it was also because Chen Lang had mentioned this matter that caused Tan Haiying to be extremely unhappy.
70 billion USD?
From Tan Haiying's point of view, after November 11, the value of Far Away Mall would increase by five times compared to March!
In other words, Tan Haiying felt that the current value of Far Away Mall would be at least 250 billion USD. It would be around 35 billion USD.
70 billion USD was more or less enough to buy Taobao!
The huge psychological difference caused the few of them to go from debating to quarreling now.
Li Dong felt a headache when he heard this. He pressed his hands together and interrupted everyone. "70 billion USD is too low. Of course, Haiying's 250 billion USD is also too much.
After all, we have already separated the logistics and warehousing, and it's not time for us to be listed yet.
To be able to achieve such results online, both offline and logistics are indispensable.
Moreover, this time, it's not external financing. If it was external financing, naturally, the higher the better.
This time, it's mainly internal integration. Regardless of whether it's the retail or the mall, I'm the major shareholder. Actually, the impact of the others won't be too big.
Let's go back and have a shareholders' meeting. There's no need to look for an evaluation agency. There's not much meaning to it.
When the time comes, I'll talk to the others and come to an agreement. "
When Tan Haiying heard what Li Dong said, although she was still a little indignant, she didn't say anything else.
In fact, everyone knew that regardless of whether it was an overestimation or an underestimation, it was mostly Li Dong's business.
The reason why Tan Haiying was unhappy with the price evaluation was actually because of her position and to fight for more benefits for herself in the future.
Would the 250 billion USD Far Away Mall and the 70 billion USD Far Away Mall have the same status?
As the CEO of Far Away Mall, if she were to buy in at the former's price, her status would not be lower than Chen Lang's.
But if she were to buy in at the latter's price, her status would be much lower.
Everyone could see these little schemes clearly.
However, there were external shareholders in Far Away Mall. Tan Haiying was also fighting for the interests of Far Away and Li Dong. Even if they knew what she was thinking, the others couldn't refute her.
Other than Li Dong, Chen Lang couldn't say anything else.
Seeing that everyone stopped arguing, Li Dong continued, "In the next few days, send a notice to all the shareholders. We'll have a meeting later. This is also the first retail shareholders' meeting this year. If we don't give those guys a chance to talk, they'll die. We directly passed the 300 billion USD plan. I'm afraid those guys are already unhappy. "
Chen Lang smiled. "Not to that extent. Without the 300 billion USD, the retail group wouldn't have been able to achieve this. Even if they were unhappy at the time, they don't have any objections now."
Li Dong sighed softly and shook his head. "We still have to appease them. This time, I suffered a loss, but at least let them have a taste of the benefits. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if they accumulate too much dissatisfaction. This time, everyone has contributed a lot. Just treat it as a bonus. "
After hearing Li Dong's words, Tan Haiying's expression softened.
The offline alliance companies had indeed contributed a lot for the mall to achieve such results.
Otherwise, it would be hard to achieve it by relying on their own system Far Away.
Now that Li Dong wanted to appease the people, it wasn't impossible for him to share a portion of the profits with them.
After a brief discussion, Li Dong looked at Chen Lang. "Mr. Chen, has Ou Shang made a decision?"
Chen Lang quickly replied, "They've already entered the negotiation stage. Ou Shang's agreement is a good start. If they really don't want to leave, they wouldn't have talked to us. These companies are aware of the current situation, and I believe there will be an outcome soon. "
"That's good."
Li Dong smiled and said, "This time, Chief Chen has worked hard and made great contributions. The retail group is stable in Mr. Chen's hands, and the cooperation online has also been smooth. It's all thanks to Mr. Chen that we can unify this time. When we're done with Gao Xin, I'll hold a celebration for Mr. Chen. "
Chen Lang hurriedly became humble, but his eyes still flickered slightly.
Not only him, but Yuan Chengdao and Wang Yue also looked at Li Dong.
As for the others, they didn't think too much about it.
Sun Tao wasn't around, so Li Dong gave him a break.
Li Dong also sensed their gazes. He maintained a smile on his face, but he sighed in his heart. Liu Hong, Liu Qi, Kong Xiangyu, and Liu Hongmei were still a lot less perceptive than these people.
Chen Lang, Yuan Chengdao, and the others roughly understood what he meant when he said that he wanted to hold a celebration for Chen Lang.
However, those guys probably didn't understand.
Of course, Li Dong wouldn't remind them. If they understood, then they understood. If they didn't, it meant that they were still too inexperienced.
Now that he said this to Chen Lang in advance, it was to let him have a mental preparation.
This was to prevent Chen Lang from being at a loss when the arrangements were suddenly made.
After that, Li Dong casually asked, "How's Qi Yunna doing over at Great Shang?"
Chen Lang didn't say anything. Yuan Chengdao took over and said, "Boss Qi has already taken over the shares of some small shareholders and bought some in the secondary market. Some of the executives in Great Shang agreed with Boss Qi's arrangements, while the others are Boss Niu's supporters. Unless Boss Niu agrees, it'll be difficult. However, the impact isn't too big. Before the end of the month, we can have absolute control of Great Shang. "
"Let Qi Yunna solve the problem as soon as possible. Boss Wu has already resigned, and the handover will be completed in a few days. After all, Dong Yu hasn't been disbanded yet. In the future, it will be merged into the retail industry, and we need someone to oversee it. "
Li Dong's words sounded a little abrupt. One moment, it was retail, the next moment, it was Dong Yu, and the next moment, it was Qi Yunna.
However, Yuan Chengdao understood. He glanced at Li Dong and then at Chen Lang.
Chen Lang's expression didn't change. After all, he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
After working in Huarun for so many years, he still had the necessary shrewdness.
Li Dong wanted Qi Yunna to take over his position. He didn't do anything wrong. If Li Dong didn't want to leave people gossiping, he would definitely give him the compensation that should be given.
It depended on whether Li Dong's compensation could be compared to his losses.
Yuan Chengdao looked at him. He didn't look at Yuan Chengdao. Instead, he looked at Li Dong and said with a smile, "General Manager Li, don't worry. I will cooperate with Boss Qi well."
These words also expressed his attitude. He understood and would cooperate with Qi Yunna.
As for how Li Dong would arrange for him, it was up to Li Dong to decide.
Li Dong nodded. It was always pleasant to talk to smart people.
He didn't continue. There was still some time before this matter, so there was no need to be too anxious.
