Although Li Dong rejected the proposal, Sun Tao is not in a hurry.
After a while, Sun Tao said, "It's not like we don't have any money at all. If we pool our money, we can still fork out one billion yuan. With one billion yuan as a base, and Secretary Du's help, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
Li Dong frowned. "1 billion? Are you thinking of buying the land in New City and Baidu shares?"
Sun Tao nodded. This is what he was thinking.
So far away, if the land in New City is sold, they can definitely earn 200 million. Together with the original capital of 100 million, it will be 300 million.
Li Dong still has 300,000 shares in Baidu shares. Based on the current market, 250 million should not be a problem.
These two items add up to more than 500 million. The rest can be raised by holding back the payment.
So far away, the payment is usually held back for about one and a half months. If it is delayed by a month, and the payment is held back for two and a half months, they can hold back at least 300 million.
So far away, holding back the payment for 45 days is not considered long. Other companies in the industry usually hold back the payment for two to three months.
Just like Wumart, they held back the payment for more than three months, and there are no problems.
Sun Tao also wants to take a gamble. After all, this is a great opportunity.
Now that Times Supermarket is interested in selling, it is a good opportunity. The other supermarkets have not succeeded in negotiating with them, and it is also an opportunity.
These two things will not happen anytime. Once Times Supermarket is acquired by other companies, they will not be able to buy it even if they have the money.
Don't even think about buying supermarkets from China Resources. It is useless even if they have the money.
Although Sun Tao is dreaming, Li Dong dampened his enthusiasm. "Even if we can fork out 1 billion, what about Jiangbei? Are we still going to build the shopping malls? Are we going to buy the small supermarkets in other cities? What if Ke Long retaliates? "
These problems need to be solved with money. Otherwise, it will be more troublesome.
Why did Wumart fail to acquire Times Supermarket?
It is because of the capital chain problems. So far away is not as strong as Wumart, and the possibility of capital chain problems is higher.
Not a single step could go wrong. Otherwise, even if Distance Group completed the acquisition, it would be like sitting on a barrel of gunpowder. It would explode at the slightest touch.
Also, by taking out so much money, the mall, the new store, the distribution center, and Distance Building would all be affected.
What Li Dong wanted was a stable rear, not a roller coaster ride. It was too risky.
So far away's goal is to stabilize the market. If Jiangbei is not stable, what is the use of rushing out of Jiangbei?
The base is in a mess, and So far away will have nothing. Li Dong does not want to gamble.
Sun Tao is usually very conservative, but he is more gambler than Li Dong.
So far away was still in Dongping, and there was only one store. At that time, Sun Tao dared to take a risk and directly expanded to the whole Qingyang area in a short time.
Sun Tao's gamble was successful. So far away took over the whole Qingyang market in a short time.
But luck is not always on Li Dong's side. In addition, the investment was small at that time. This time, the investment is several billion, and Li Dong does not dare to be reckless.
Once is enough to start a business, and Li Dong does not want to do it again.
If he fails this time, it will be difficult for Li Dong to make a comeback in the next few years.
Hearing Li Dong say this, Sun Tao is also anxious. He said in a loud voice, "Then we are just going to watch others complete the restructuring? If Huarun Real Estate takes over, our East China strategy will be in vain! "
Li Dong said softly, "What's the rush?! Huarun Real Estate can't take over Era, and Wumart can't either! "
Sun Tao looked at Li Dong suspiciously. How are you so sure?
Li Dong did not explain. He thought for a while and said, "But the acquisition plan you mentioned is not necessarily impossible. If we drag it through this year and wait until next year, our backend will be stable. At that time, we will have more funds, and we may think of a way to take over Era. "
Sun Tao said anxiously, "It will be too late next year!"
Li Dong chuckled and said mysteriously, "That's not necessarily true."
Next year, Wumart will be suspended and investigated. At this time, Wumart can be used as a shield to prevent other companies from peeping into Era.
When Wumart can no longer buy, then Far away can intervene and get a bargain.
Thinking of this, Li Dong smiled and said, "Prepare a negotiation team later. Isn't Sunan very lively recently? Let's go and join in the fun."
Far away in Jiangbei is dominant, and Kelong can't make waves for the time being, so Jiangbei's retail market seems calm.
Sunan is different. Sunan's economy is more developed than Jiangbei, and there is a similar strength gap between Suguo and Era. Sunan's retail market has been very noisy recently.
Coupled with the sale of Era, Sunan's retail industry is even more turbulent at the moment.
Sun Tao can't understand Li Dong. He said with a headache, "Are we just going to join in the fun?"
"Not really. It's more convenient to make contact in advance and talk next year."
Acquiring a company with billions of assets, the negotiation is naturally not a matter of a day or two. It is necessary to be prepared for a long time.
Li Dong asked people to contact Era now to leave a good impression to others that he is not short of money, so that the negotiation can't be done in a short time next year.
Sun Tao doesn't understand why Li Dong is so confident. If you say next year, it will be next year?
In his opinion, within these two to three months, the negotiation will probably come to a conclusion.
Once Era is acquired by others, there will be no Far away.
But Sun Tao also understands Li Dong's difficulties. The investment is too big, and Far away can't support it now.
An investment of more than two billion, Far away might not be able to come up with it even if they sell all of their assets.
If it weren't for the recent big profits from the land and the existence of Shen Qian, Sun Tao wouldn't have brought up this idea. It is too crazy.
After that, the two of them didn't talk about Era anymore. As for the negotiation team, Sun Tao is also prepared to fool them.
Without money, what's the use of sending a negotiation team over?
If the negotiation can't be done, then so be it. If the negotiation really succeeds, Far away will have no money to buy it, and it will be even more embarrassing. The company's reputation will be ruined.
…
Eating without drinking, the speed will definitely not be slow.
Including the time spent talking, it only took the two of them an hour to finish the meal.
As soon as he came out of the private room, Li Dong met a few acquaintances.
When Li Dong saw the other party, the other party naturally saw Li Dong. Seeing that Li Dong is also eating here, Li Wan hurriedly shouted, "Li Dong, you are here too?"
Zhao Tingting, who was beside her, also giggled and said, "Li Dong, why is a big boss like you eating here?"
Bai Su and another girl in their dorm, Song Juan, didn't say anything. They just nodded at Li Dong.
Li Dong also nodded in response and said with a light smile, "If not here, where else can we eat? We are all human beings. Do I eat different from you? "
Li Wan giggled and said, "I don't mean that. I just feel that you coming here is not classy enough."
Li Dong suddenly laughed and said, "If the boss heard this, he might not do business with you."
The restaurant owner happened to be next to them, so he naturally heard the conversation between the two of them. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "Of course, how can I not do business? Customers are God. You said that my restaurant is not classy enough. Later, when I make money, I will renovate it. I must do something classy. "
They all laughed. After laughing, Li Dong said, "Then you guys eat. I have something to do at the company, so I will go back first."
Li Wan hurriedly said, "So urgent? Why don't we eat a little more and chat a little? "
Bai Su gently pulled her and said, "If you are busy, go back first. We won't hold you up."
Hearing this, Li Dong was a little embarrassed. He lightly coughed and said, "I am not too busy. If you don't mind, then sit together and chat a little."
Li Wan suddenly smiled and said, "Of course not. It is not easy to have a meal with Big Boss Li. We also hope that you can give us some advice."
Li Dong smiled helplessly and turned to Sun Tao and said, "Brother Sun, then you go back first. Go back and prepare for what I said."
Sun Tao knew that he was talking about the negotiation team. He nodded and said, "Got it, then I will go first."
Then he nodded to Bai Su and the others, and Sun Tao left the restaurant.
…
Naturally, Bai Su and the others didn't want to eat in a private room, so they sat at a table in the hall.
Although Li Wan said that this restaurant was not classy, that was relative to Li Dong. In fact, this restaurant was relatively expensive in the neighborhood.
Bai Su and the others rarely came here. Today was a good day to reward themselves.
They had just arrived, so the dishes were not served so quickly. As soon as Li Dong sat down, Li Wan and Zhao Tingting surrounded him and asked him questions.
One moment, he asked about the mall, the next moment, he asked about the supermarket, and then he asked about the donation.
As long as they didn't ask about the company's secrets, Li Dong didn't hide anything and answered them one by one.
After the two asked, Li Dong said, "Why didn't you go back on Labor Day?"
As soon as this was mentioned, Li Wan complained, "Don't mention it. I was so tired these two days of hard work at school."
"What's wrong? What hard work? "
Bai Su chuckled and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. It is Jiangzhou University's 80th anniversary soon. Our student council has to stay and help with the decorations. In fact, it's not that tiring. Wan 'er is just too delicate. "
Li Wan heard this and said angrily, "I am not delicate! I moved tables for the whole morning. How can I not be tired? "
Li Dong didn't pay attention to the fight between the two women. He just asked in confusion, "Jiangzhou University's 80th anniversary is coming soon?"
"Yes, it's on May 15th. Didn't the school invite you?" Zhao Tingting was confused.
In her eyes, Li Dong was definitely a successful person, and he was one of the best.
Jiangzhou University's 80th anniversary was a big event. How could they not invite Li Dong?
Before Li Dong said anything, Bai Su glared at Li Wan. How could she say that?
If Li Dong was really not invited, saying this would mean that he looked down on Li Dong, and it would also put him in an awkward position.
Li Dong didn't think too much about it. Zhao Tingting didn't mean anything bad. She was just shooting her mouth off.
As for whether Jiangzhou University invited him or not, Li Dong really didn't know.
In the past, Liu Qi was in charge of these things. Now that Liu Qi was not in the company, the assistant who came to take over her shift, Li Dong, did not really talk to her. Perhaps the assistant who came to take over her shift did not take it seriously even though Jiangzhou University had invited her.
It was not that Li Dong wanted to boast, but Jiangzhou University's 80th anniversary would definitely invite him if nothing went wrong.
Li Dong was not only a student of Jiangzhou University, but also the founder of the Far away Scholarship. He was also a business partner of Jiangzhou University. It was graduation season soon, and Jiangzhou University and Far away still had talent supply collaborations.
Of course, he didn't need to explain this to Bai Su and the others.
Hearing Zhao Tingting's question, Li Dong smiled and said, "I haven't been paying attention. I'll ask later."
Zhao Tingting asked again, "Li Dong, are you going to the school?"
"I'll see. If I'm lucky enough to be invited by Jiangzhou University, I'll have to go. Of course, if they don't invite me, I can't just go there to eat and drink, right? "Li Dong joked.
As for attending the anniversary, it was a necessary social activity.
Jiangzhou University was a key university. Over the years, there were many elites from all walks of life who graduated from Jiangzhou University. They were alumni, after all. It wouldn't hurt to get to know them.
If he could get to know a few useful people, it would be of great help to Li Dong in the future.
Not to mention others, Li Dong knew that among the first-level leaders of Jiangbei Province, there were two standing committee members who graduated from Jiangzhou University.
There were even more officials at the department level, and many of them were the heads of departments.
This was only in the political field. There were also elites from Jiangzhou University in other fields, such as business, military, and academia.
Although not everyone would come, there would definitely be a lot of people coming for the 80th anniversary.
Usually, those who were not eye-catching would be too embarrassed to come. Those who could come were definitely not ordinary people.
After Li Dong said that, the girls covered their mouths and giggled. Then, they talked about a few things that were off topic.
They also mentioned Huang Shanshan's matter casually, but Bai Su interrupted the topic. Li Dong didn't answer, so the topic naturally couldn't continue.
Li Dong didn't sit for too long. He was the only man among the girls, so there wasn't much they could talk about in common.
Seeing that the food was served, Li Dong drank half a cup of drink and stood up. "You guys eat. I'll go back first. Let's talk again next time."
Li Wan urged him to stay. "Stay a little longer."
"Forget it. I really have something to do. Maybe next time."
Hearing Li Dong's words, the girls didn't try to persuade him anymore. They all stood up and wanted to see Li Dong off.
Li Dong waved his hand and refused. When he was about to leave, Bai Su seemed to think of something. She suddenly said, "Li Dong, if you go to the anniversary, it will be very interesting."
Li Dong didn't understand what she meant. He asked confusedly, "What's interesting?"
Bai Su smiled and said, "Forget it. I won't tell you in advance. If you are interested, you can go back and check the graduates of International Trade in 1986. He is our senior, and he is related to you. If he comes this time, it will be very interesting. "
Li Dong was confused. What did she mean by related to him?
He had just been born in 1986. Jiangzhou University had nothing to do with him. How could it be related to him?
However, since Bai Su had said so, Li Dong didn't bother to get to the bottom of it.
He could go back and check the graduates of International Trade in 1986. There weren't many people anyway. This kind of small matter was not a problem for Li Dong.
After waving at them, Li Dong did not stay any longer. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from their sight.
