Li Dong skimmed over the financial crisis.
He and Wu Yajun mainly talked about cooperation.
Faraway Supermarket entered Shancheng, and the proportion of self-built stores was not high.
Far away at this time, because of financial problems, most of the stores chose to rent, and the proportion of self-built stores was less than one-fifth.
It was best to enter Shancheng and reach a cooperation agreement with Longhu.
Although Li Dong temporarily gave up the Sichuan expansion plan, he did not give up on Shancheng.
As one of the four major municipalities in the country, Shancheng might be a step behind in terms of economy, but that was only relative to the other three cities.
Shancheng was very suitable for retail companies to settle in, whether it was geographical location or population.
Nearly 30 million people, which was half of the population of Jiangbei, was a huge potential customer base.
In addition, Shancheng's influence spread to more than half of the southwest. If they could lay a foundation in Shancheng, it would be very beneficial for the future development of Far away.
And Longhu Real Estate was gradually opening up its industrial layout in the entire southwest.
Both sides chose to cooperate at this time, which was actually a relatively good two-way choice.
In addition to the supermarket, Li Dong was also preparing to build a distribution center in Shancheng. On one hand, it was to meet the needs of logistics expansion, and on the other hand, it was to save costs.
With Wu Yajun's help, these things would be much easier.
The two talked for a long time, and when they went out, the sky was already dark.
Seeing this, Wu Yajun couldn't help but laugh, "Only the two of us are so casual, talking about cooperation in the classroom."
Li Dong laughed, "It's more convenient without people to disturb us. Besides, it's not a big secret, and we're not afraid of others hearing."
The two walked and chatted, at this time, a female student suddenly walked in the corridor. When she saw the two of them, the female student showed a slightly puzzled look, and then hurriedly shouted, "General Manager Li, CEO Wu, excuse me!"
Li Dong and Wu Yajun stopped talking and turned around.
When they saw the woman's appearance, Li Dong and Wu Yajun were a little surprised, "Miss Chen is also studying here?"
Chen Luyu smiled and said, "Yes, I'm a student in the seventh stage of EMBA. I'm about to graduate."
Chen Luyu smiled and said, "General Manager Li, Boss Wu, if you don't mind, can you give me a business card?"
The two of them did not refuse and exchanged business cards with Chen Luyu.
At this time, Lu Yu was still quite famous, and she had a lot of connections in the business and cultural circles.
It was just an exchange of name cards. The purpose of the exchange was to expand one's network. No one would be so arrogant as to not even give a name card.
After exchanging business cards, Lu Yu smiled and said, "Both of you are influential figures in the business world. If you don't mind, can I have an exclusive interview with the two of you?"
Wu Yajun didn't say anything. She had participated in many interviews, so she wasn't really against it.
However, Li Dong smiled and said, "Maybe next time. I've been too busy recently, so I'm afraid I don't have time."
Lu Yu was a little disappointed. In fact, she wanted to interview Li Dong more.
Li Dong's fame had been growing in the past two years, especially after the Verbal Cannon incident and Sichuan's 500 million education support plan. His fame was so big that the whole country knew him.
Moreover, Li Dong was actually a relatively mysterious person. He had not been famous for a long time.
The outside world's understanding of him was only from some things on the Internet.
After becoming famous for a few years, Li Dong had not accepted any interview, nor had he been interviewed by any financial or magazine.
In the past two years, it wasn't that no one wanted to give Li Dong an interview, but Li Dong almost never accepted it.
Except for a few public media conferences, no one could enter Li Dong's world. With the growth of Li Dong's wealth, the outside world became more and more curious about the miracle of his rise.
At this time, if she could give Li Dong an interview, Lu Yu felt that the effect would be good.
However, after all, it was the first time they met, so Lu Yu was not discouraged. Li Dong tactfully refused. Lu Yu smiled and said, "Then if there's a chance next time, I'll go and bother General Manager Li again."
Li Dong smiled and nodded, "When I accomplish my goal one day, I don't need your invitation. I also want to brag to the national audience."
Lu Yu and Wu Yajun couldn't help but laugh. However, they still admired him in their hearts.
The meaning of Li Dong's words was obvious. At present, Li Dong was not satisfied with his identity and status, nor was he satisfied with the current situation Far Away.
Although everyone didn't know what his so-called completed layout was, they knew that it was definitely not a small goal.
At that time, Far Away might not be comparable to the current situation.
At that time, Li Dong felt that he could say a few words to others. This was really demanding of himself.
After exchanging a few words of greeting, Li Dong and Lu Yu bid farewell.
When they went downstairs, Wu Yajun was slightly curious. "Dongzi, what is your goal?"
"Me?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "I don't have too big a goal. I'm content with a little wealth."
"You don't have a big goal? What about your small goal? "
"Within three years, I will complete the national industrial layout."
Wu Yajun rolled her eyes. Completing the national industrial layout within three years. Is this a small goal?
Resisting the desire to strangle this guy, Wu Yajun said again, "What about within ten years?"
"Ten years …" Li Dong shook his head and said, "Ten years is too long. It hasn't been decided yet. People's goals will slowly change with the growth of status, wealth, and ideas. It's hard to say what will happen in ten years. Far Away, if I can really reach that step, I want to go out and see. "
"Go out?"
"Yes. The world is so big. We have to leave some traces. Foreign retail groups are constantly making money in China. When can domestic retail companies go abroad to make money? It's said that Hua Xia's manufacturing industry is developed and the cost is low. Logically speaking, we still have an advantage. Unfortunately, we didn't make good use of this advantage. Instead, we let others benefit. Since we are talking about dreams, let's expand our dreams. If I can become the first in the retail industry in ten years, I want to go out and see. "
Wu Yajun stared at him for a while and said after a long time, "Compared to you, I'm the one who is content with a little wealth."
Li Dong laughed and said, "It's just talking about dreams. Dreams are actually the most unreliable thing. Who knows what will happen in ten years. Maybe by then, supermarkets will have already been eliminated. Now that e-commerce is showing signs of rising, our physical stores don't have much room for development. "
Wu Yajun didn't agree with this. She shook her head and said, "The physical industry will never be eliminated."
"Who knows."
Li Dong smiled and walked to the side of the car. He said, "Then I'll go first. I will arrange for someone to go to Shancheng to continue the discussion with your company. Also, find a good place for me to set up a branch in Shancheng. In the future, I will rely on Big Sis Wu's help in the Southwest market."
Wu Yajun immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry. As long as your Dong Yu Real Estate doesn't come to snatch the place, I won't chase you away."
Li Dong laughed and did not reply. He turned around and got into the car and slowly left.
After he left, Wu Yajun muttered, "What does this guy mean? Is he really going to enter the real estate market for the second time?"
Dong Yu Real Estate gave up its current advantage. In everyone's opinion, Li Dong should have the intention to give up the real estate market. After all, the second expansion would only be more difficult than the current one.
But when she said her last sentence, this guy did not give a clear answer. This was a bit interesting.
After thinking for a while, Wu Yajun was too lazy to continue thinking.
Regardless of whether Li Dong would enter the market for the second time or not, it would not affect Long Hu too much.
There were many real estate companies in the country, and there were even more famous companies than Dong Yu. Compared to others, Li Dong's Dong Yu was not a concern.
Even if he entered the real estate industry for the second time, at least in Wu Yajun's opinion, it would definitely not be comparable to Long Hu.
…
Li Dong really worked around the clock when he came to Beijing.
He inspected the branch in the morning, reported to the business school in the afternoon, and arranged to meet with someone in the evening.
Compared to Jiangbei, he was busier in Beijing.
8 PM.
Kelway Western Restaurant.
When Li Dong arrived, Shen Xuehua and Shen Jianmin were already there.
Seeing Li Dong, Shen Xuehua looked at the time and said, "You are late."
Li Dong shrugged and said, "I am really sorry about the traffic jam."
Hearing his insincere apology, Shen Xuehua slightly frowned and said, "As a successful entrepreneur, I think it is necessary not to be late. Since you can do this Far away, I don't think you should be late."
Li Dong smiled and said, "I am really sorry. It is my fault that I am late. But the place is so far away, and I can't fly here. I still have a lot of things to do in Beijing. I have said before that it would be more suitable to change it to tomorrow or the day after. But Auntie, you are in such a hurry, and now you are troubled because I am late. I am very helpless. Szentai's shares is not too important to me. If Auntie is really unhappy, then I can arrange the next gathering, and I will treat you. "
Shen Xuehua frowned and did not say anything. Shen Jianmin lightly coughed and reminded her.
Being late is not a big deal. Business is more important. What's the use of worrying about this now?
Although Shen Xuehua was dissatisfied, she also knew that she was nitpicking. She did not continue this topic, nor did she have any other foreshadowing. She went straight to the point and said, "The transfer of Szentai's shares to me is still the same as before."
"The debt is written off?"
"Yes."
Li Dong smiled and said, "Including the 500 million Shen Qian's?"
Shen Xuehua frowned and did not speak. Li Dong continued, "This 500 million was exchanged by Shen Qian with Szentai's shares. Auntie, although Shen Qian is your daughter, you are not the only one who owns Szentai's shares, right? I don't think it is appropriate to give up private affairs for public affairs. In addition, if this debt is written off, can Shen Qian's shares in Szentai's be returned? "
Shen Xuehua did not say anything. She was not a fool. Since Li Dong was fighting for Shen Qian's interests, she did not want to refute.
She would indeed get a lot of benefits if she got Szentai's shares, but it did not mean that all the benefits would belong to her alone.
Szentai's was Szentai's. Although Shen Xuehua worked in Szentai's, it did not mean that Szentai's interests were completely hers.
Shen Xuehua understood this, and so did Shen Jianmin. Of course, if he did not understand, he would pretend not to understand.
Shen Xuehua did not say anything, but Shen Jianmin had to speak at this time. After a moment of silence, Shen Jianmin said, "Szentai's shares have been redistributed. It is not appropriate to frequently change the shares in a short period of time. Moreover, Anmin will soon enter the capital. It is even more inappropriate for Qianqian to hold Szentai's shares now. "
"But we can't just say that it is inappropriate and the money is gone, right? How about this, I will give you Szentai's shares, offset Auntie's 500 million, and then take out Shen Qian's 500 million.
I will not take advantage of you, nor will I take advantage of your misfortune.
You should be very eager for Szentai's shares at this time, and I think 10% of the shares is worth 1 billion.
I did not take advantage of you in an equivalent exchange.
I am a person who does business, and under normal circumstances, I will not talk about business that is not profitable.
The reason why I made a concession this time is also to give Auntie face. CEO Shen, what do you think? "
Li Dong looked at him with a faint smile. When he said that he was giving face to Shen Xuehua, he did have this intention.
But who was Shen Jianmin? Li Dong felt that he did not need to give face to him.
Even if he was Shen Qian's uncle, if he used this identity to pressure Li Dong during a business discussion at this time, it would be a little too much.
Li Dong was originally not willing to do the exchange, but because of Shen Xuehua, he had no choice but to do the exchange. This was a kind of concession.
Equivalent exchange, not taking advantage of the misfortune, could be considered kind on Li Dong's part.
Shen Jianmin frowned slightly and said, "Li Dong, I do not deny what you said. However, everyone is well aware of the origins of your shares. You did not spend a cent … "
Li Dong waved his hand and interrupted, "There is no point in talking about this. Back then, I used more than half of the shares Far away to gamble, and this is what I paid. CEO Shen, if you are not satisfied and think that I took advantage of you, fine, why don't we have a few rounds? You can use the Shen Corporation's shares to gamble. If you win, I will not take a cent from you, and the shares will belong to you. But if I win, your shares in the Shen Corporation will be transferred to my name. How about that? "
Shen Jianmin's mouth twitched. He was almost crazy!
Using his shares in the Shen Corporation to gamble with Li Dong, he was not stupid.
Li Dong could beat Chen Siping and the others, so why couldn't he beat him?
If he really lost, everything would become a joke, and he would not do such a thing.
However, Shen Jianmin was still a little reluctant to take out 500 million.
500 million was not 50 million. Taking out this amount of money would also hurt the Shen Corporation.
Previously, when he bought Shen Qian's shares, he had used a lot of the company's funds. Later, when Shen Xuehua gradually reduced the Shen Corporation's shares, he used a lot of the company's funds again.
Now he had to spend 500 million, and the investment was too big.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Jianmin said, "Li Dong, 500 million is indeed too much. Moreover, Qianqian does not lack money … "
"Even if she doesn't lack money, CEO Shen, it is a little boring to talk about relationships when doing business. You might as well say that Auntie is Shen Qian's mother, and everyone is a family, so don't give the money. But if business is done like this, can it still be called business? You and I are both businessmen, and now we are talking about cooperation between two companies, not playing house. Really, if you continue to talk like this, I don't think there is a need to talk anymore. "
Shen Jianmin glanced at Shen Xuehua, and his eyes showed a hint of dissatisfaction.
Actually, this time, when Shen Xuehua came forward to talk to Li Dong about the shares, the Shen Corporation had made a concession.
Now that Shen Xuehua had taken the benefits, and in the end, she had to add another 500 million in cash. Didn't that mean that Shen Xuehua had taken all the advantage?
