Global Building, Far away Company.
Li Dong, who had just returned to Pingchuan, did not have much time to rest. There were still many things waiting for him to deal with at the company.
Other things could be delayed, but the era could not be delayed.
Previously, because he was abroad, Sun Tao and Shen Qian did not say many things clearly on the phone. Li Dong urgently needed to understand the specific situation.
As soon as he arrived at the company, Shen Qian, who had received the news, rushed over.
After entering the office, Shen Qian stared at him for a while. After a while, she said slowly, "You didn't lose weight. You're just a little tanned. It seems that you didn't suffer much."
Li Dong smiled and said, "What hardship can I suffer? Money is everywhere. I'm not going to work as a laborer. Naturally, I won't lose weight. "
After saying this, Li Dong did not continue. Instead, he asked, "The money has been transferred to your account. Are you sure there's no problem?"
"No problem. Don't worry."
Shen Qian replied and then said, "330 million, that's a lot of money. You haven't told me where you got it from."
Li Dong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about that. It's fine as long as the money is in your account."
"Don't worry about it!"
Shen Qian snorted and said, "I don't understand why you've raised so much money. Let's not talk about the 600 million you've raised before. Adding this 300 million, it's almost 1 billion. What do you want to do with 1 billion?"
"You'll know when the time comes."
"Forget it. I'm too lazy to ask you."
Shen Qian did not care what Li Dong did with the money. She also believed that Li Dong would not act recklessly.
After talking about the money, Shen Qian smiled and said, "Did you bring me a gift when you went abroad?"
"Yes."
Li Dong smiled and took out a box from the drawer and handed it over.
Shen Qian couldn't wait to open it and take a look. Then, she said with a face full of black lines, "Li Dong, do you have any sincerity? Aren't you afraid that I'll castrate you after giving a woman a military knife? "
Li Dong almost choked on his own saliva. He quickly snatched the saber back from Shen Qian.
Then, he handed over another box and said, "I took the wrong one just now. Can you not be so fierce? You'll scare people to death, okay?"
"Serves you right!"
Shen Qian laughed for a while and opened the second box. Inside was a women's watch.
Shen Qian wasn't an ignorant person. She took a look and smiled. "Forget it. Although it doesn't suit my style, you barely pass."
"Nonsense, who said it doesn't suit you!"
Li Dong mumbled. He got up to take the watch and put it on Shen Qian. He stared at her arm for a while and said, "It's quite suitable. I carefully selected it."
Shen Qian smiled softly. "You're considerate. But it's not a repeat, right?"
"What?"
"I said it's not a repeat of someone else's, right?"
Li Dong understood what she meant and said with a bitter smile, "What are you thinking? This is unique. How can it be a repeat?"
"That's good. You can wear it in the future."
Shen Qian raised her arm and looked at it a few times. Her smile grew wider.
Then, the two talked for a while about the customs of foreign countries. Li Dong returned to the main topic. "What did you talk about with Time? What did they say? Tell me about it. "
Shen Qian grumbled, "You're talking about work when you're back. Aren't you tired?"
Li Dong rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "I don't want to talk about work. But can I be free now? I should work more while I'm young. After a few years, I'll be free. "
Hearing Li Dong say that, Shen Qian stopped messing around and started reporting to Li Dong.
Half an hour later, Li Dong finally sorted things out.
Time was almost done with the negotiation. The main issue was still the payment.
Time asked for a one-off payment, but after the efforts of Yu Bo and the others, Time finally gave in.
Currently, the agreement was for Time to assume debt.
As a company with billions of assets, Time was naturally in debt. According to the investigation, Time's current debt was about 600 million.
In other words, while Distance Yuan had to bear the 600 million, it had to pay the remaining 1.8 billion to Time.
Putting aside the 600 million, Time had a plan for the remaining 1.8 billion.
There were two plans. First, Far away would pay a down payment of 1 billion. The remaining 800 million had to be paid within a year. Moreover, Far Away would have to bear the interest of the 800 million.
Second, Far Away could pay off the debt in three years. The down payment did not need to be 1 billion. 600 million would do.
Of course, with such good conditions, Time had its requirements.
The requirements were simple. Far Away would use their own shares as collateral. The dividends from these shares would belong to Time's original shareholders.
Actually, this condition was quite good. If Li Dong agreed, he could save a lot of money and leave more funds for Far Away's development.
However, Li Dong rejected it immediately. He said to Shen Qian, "Let's go with the first plan. Far Away can afford the down payment of 1 billion."
1 billion. The 700 million from Longhua would be coming in soon. After that, Far Away would be able to get 600 million. In addition to the 500 million from the loan, 1 billion was not a big problem for Far Away.
However, Shen Qian suggested, "Actually, I think the second plan is not bad. Far Away might have money now, but once we spend 1 billion, it will be difficult for us to move forward. Also, you have to consider the debt of 600 million. From what I know, 300 million will be coming in soon. That will be 1.3 billion. Also, Time will only sell you fixed assets. They won't leave you liquid funds. Without liquid funds, the risk is too high. With Time's scale, they will definitely need 200 million. That will be 1.5 billion. Are you sure we won't feel any pressure? "
"1.5 billion?"
Li Dong frowned. 1.5 billion was a little difficult for him.
At present, Distance Yuan was able to come up with 1.1 billion yuan of funds. Including the profits for the next three months, it would not exceed 200 million yuan. This was 1.3 billion yuan, which meant that there was still a shortfall of 200 million yuan.
This did not even include the liquid funds Far Away had. Otherwise, the shortfall would be even bigger.
Li Dong thought for a while and said, "We'll talk about the liquid funds later. We'll think of something when the time comes."
The company had liquid funds mainly to prevent risks.
Li Dong was not too worried. He still had money on hand.
When there was a risk and they needed money urgently, he could also take it out to support Far Away. Therefore, 1.3 billion was more or less enough.
Hearing Li Dong say this, Shen Qian did not say anything else.
She knew that Li Dong was sometimes very cautious. Using Far Away's shares as a pledge might not make Li Dong happy. Since that was the case, and Far Away could afford it, there was no need to persuade him anymore.
After talking about this, the two of them talked about the problems that Time Away might face.
The biggest problem in mergers and acquisitions was not the follow-up operations. This could be sorted out slowly. Li Dong was not in a hurry.
During mergers and acquisitions, the most important thing was probably the loss of staff in the early stages.
According to statistics, when a merger and acquisition was completed and the new owner took over, the initial loss of staff could reach more than 30%.
Li Dong was not afraid of other things, but he was afraid of the problem of staff.
Far Away was different from other big companies. Because it had only been established for a short period of time, it had too little staff.
If there was a large-scale loss of staff, Li Dong might not be able to take over such a huge company. It would waste a lot of time and money.
Now that the retail industry was in a race against time, losing money was a small matter. But if it delayed time, it would not be worth it.
Speaking of this, Li Dong thought for a while and said, "How about we increase the staff's salary?"
Shen Qian shook her head and said, "Bad idea. This is not a merger and acquisition of a small company or a high-tech company. There are not many staff. This is a merger and acquisition of dozens of hypermarkets and supermarkets. Do you know how many people Time Away has? More than 3,000 people!
Increasing the salary to keep people can't be too little. At least 10% is needed, right?
According to the current salary level, the average annual salary is about 15,000, which means that the expenditure for each employee is 1,500. With 3,000 people, the annual expenditure will be 4.5 million.
But don't forget, Time Away and Far Away are one family.
Far Away is still our foundation. If Time Away rises, can Far Away not rise? Far Away's staff is almost twice that of Time Away. That's 9 million. In a year, we will spend an extra 10 to 20 million. Don't think that this is a small amount. This is not a temporary sum, but a long-term one.
In ten years, it will be 100 to 200 million. Are you sure you can bear it? "
Li Dong knocked on the table and thought for a while before saying, "It's not impossible."
Although an extra 10 to 20 million a year was not a small amount, it was not too much either.
If spending so much money could stabilize Far Away and Time Away, Li Dong did not mind doing so.
As for whether there would be trouble and whether they would be boycotted by other retail companies, Li Dong was not too concerned.
If you are capable, you can increase your salary too. Far Away's salary was higher than other companies, and this was Li Dong's intention. If a new company wanted to rise, no one would be willing to work with you without good benefits.
Seeing that Li Dong was tempted, Shen Qian said again, "If you increase your salary, you will only keep the lower level employees. If the higher management wants to leave, it's not something you can solve with just a small increase. Although the lower level employees are essential for the development of a company, the higher management is the leader. Without the management, the company will definitely be in chaos. "
"I know this. I've already asked Song Jie to recruit and poach people. Now, Distance also has some talents in reserve. Although it's not enough, not all of the management staff will leave. Some of them will stay. Don't we have an agreement with Times Entertainment? The management staff whose contract hasn't expired can't leave before the contract expires. "
"I'm afraid they will not put in the effort."
"That will depend on our means and treatment. If the treatment is better than Time Away, are they going to just sit around and waste time?"
"That's true."
…
Li Dong and Shen Qian talked for a long time.
By the time they finished, it was already dark outside.
Shen Qian looked at her watch and said, "It's past eight o 'clock. Let's go out to eat?"
"Sure. Where?"
"Dongfang Fishing Village!"
The corner of Li Dong's mouth twitched. This woman was quite vengeful. Was she purposely making fun of him for not letting her eat at the fishing village last time?
Whether he was willing or not, this time Li Dong could not refuse. He packed up and rushed to the fishing village with Shen Qian.
