Du Anmin was about to leave, and Li Dong was also in urgent need of money.
In this case, Du Anmin would not drag things on.
On the evening of the 19th, Li Dong and Du Anmin finished talking. On the 21st, Jiangbei's Finance Office convened a meeting of major banks.
On the day of the meeting, Li Dong personally attended the meeting with several executives from Far away.
At the meeting, Li Dong detailed the various advantages of Far away and delivered a speech of thousands of words.
It was wishful thinking to rely on bluffing and expect the banks to provide money.
Especially when the funds involved were as high as tens of billions, the banks would not easily let go, even if there was a guarantee from the Jiangbei government.
Li Dong did not expect these people to lend money to him with a few generous words. When the heads of the major banks were still discussing, Li Dong used a killer move.
"Far away is willing to use Far away Building, Far away Square, Greenland Building, Sichuan Airlines shares, Far away Logistics Park … these fixed assets as collateral!"
The meeting room, which was originally whispering, suddenly quieted down, and then there was a burst of discussion.
These fixed assets Far away were all high-quality industries.
Except for Far away Logistics Park, which was not very safe, other fixed industries were constantly appreciating.
Now that Li Dong was willing to use these industries as collateral for loans, even without the government's guarantee, they would be tempted.
There were more than 20 banks, large and small, in particular, there was China Construction Bank, which had a deep cooperation with Far away.
As soon as the meeting ended, the head of China Construction Bank of Jiangbei invited Far away for a private meeting.
…
On September 22nd, China Construction Bank of Jiangbei was the first to respond.
They were willing to open a special channel for Far away and give Faraway Group a low-interest loan of 1.5 billion yuan.
Of course, it sounded nice, but in fact, China Construction Bank was not worried about Far away not being able to pay it back.
For this 1.5 billion loan, Li Dong used Far away Square and Far away Building as collateral. If these two industries were sold now, they would probably be worth 2 billion yuan.
But then again, the quota given by CCB was not low.
Under normal circumstances, when it came to mortgage loans, it would be considered good if they could offer half of the value of the collateral. This time, CCB offered 70% of the value. Far away was considered to be relatively optimistic.
Following closely behind CCB, ICBC also responded.
ICBC was also willing to give a low interest loan of 1.5 billion, and the collateral was Sichuan Airlines shares.
So far away, when Sichuan Airlines shares were acquired, the value was as high as 2.5 billion. This time, after the conversion, it was suddenly reduced by 1 billion. This was also something that could not be helped.
What the bank wanted was stability. They wouldn't give you whatever you said you were worth.
This was especially so for a loan of several billion RMB. All aspects of the loan had to be strictly reviewed to ensure that the funds would not go bad. The reason why they were able to give such a high loan was because of the reputation of the Jiangbei government. Far away's businesses were indeed quite good.
The premise of all of this was that they could stop their losses in time if something happened Far away.
Among the four major banks, two responded. Following that, other small banks also responded and supported sporadically.
As of the 28th, Li Dong had mortgaged almost all the fixed assets of Faraway Group that could be mortgaged.
Except for the mall, if something happened Far away at this time, if something happened, their businesses would probably be auctioned.
However, with so many properties mortgaged, Far away finally achieved the expected goal.
This time, a total of 17 banks participated in the loan, providing a total of 10.2 billion RMB for Far away.
Because they were all through special channels, these funds would be transferred into Far away's account within a month.
…
September 29th.
Faraway Group held a high-level meeting.
At the beginning of the meeting, Li Dong announced the loan and finally said in a deep voice, "Now we have money, more than 10 billion! But this more than 10 billion is almost all of our capital. If we can completely defeat Su Guo, then everything will be fine. But if we have so much money and are still defeated by Su Guo, we can almost say that we are finished. At that time, except for the mall, everything else will be taken away. So this time, we can only win and not lose! "
"And this money can't all be spent on Sunan. We need money in Yu Province, Fengcheng, Mall, and logistics …"
"The funds that can be left for Sunan are no more than 1 billion."
"If we can't defeat Su Guo after spending 1 billion, then we will retreat from Sunan. Because at that time, we will be in a big quagmire, and supermarkets everywhere will face attacks. "
"Everyone, are you confident that we can win this battle?"
"Yes!"
Everyone roared with red faces and necks. Normally, they would have to pay attention to their manners and self-restraint.
At this time, everyone couldn't care too much. Li Dong may be exaggerating when he said that it was a fight to the death.
But the Sunan side did involve a lot of things. If they were really defeated by Su Guo in Sunan, Far away would fully turn to defense.
Not to mention that they couldn't expand, the market they occupied in the early stage would also be compressed to the extreme.
Far away's investment in various markets had already exceeded 10 billion. If they were really defeated, Far away's losses would also exceed 10 billion.
With such heavy losses, Far away would probably only be able to keep this piece of land in Jiangbei.
Li Dong pressed his hands and continued, "In addition, there are a lot of rumors about us in the outside world these days. In addition, in Sunan, we have been maintaining a defensive posture. This is a major blow to our confidence. These days, the Sunan side is in a panic. Su Guo secretly made a move again. In a week, three store managers left. This situation can't continue. It's National Day soon. I am ready to carry out a large-scale counterattack during the National Day. What do you think? "
Sun Tao nodded and said, "We must organize a counterattack as soon as possible. If this continues, people's hearts will be in chaos. In addition, we have raised 10 billion this time, so we have the capital to fight back.
Also, Su Guo chose the fastest and simplest renovation plan for those small stores that she temporarily took over. They just put up wallpaper and changed the signboard.
According to this trend, they are likely to choose to open all their stores during the National Day to encircle our big stores.
Also, in the past few days, there has been news from the Sunan side. The Sunan government may be more inclined to Su Guo. In addition, we are at a disadvantage, so in the end, they may choose to completely support Su Guo.
For now, we must show our strength and make the Sunan government fear us.
In this way, the most likely scenario is that the Sunan government will maintain a wait-and-see attitude … "
After Sun Tao finished analyzing the pros and cons, Li Dong nodded and said, "Then we will carry out a counterattack during the National Day. We can't continue to let Su Guo take the lead. Otherwise, the brands we built up in the early stage will be destroyed."
Then, everyone discussed the specific measures. After everyone left, Sun Tao whispered, "How is the situation on Mr. Chen's side?"
Li Dong frowned and said, "There is no good news for the time being. I think this matter is a bit uncertain. Changkelong and Yongan are not stupid at this time. I'm afraid they would prefer to see us fight it out before making a decision. I'm more worried that the two companies will contact Su Guo at this time. Once Su Guo knows our plan, the trouble will be even greater. "
Sun Tao sighed slightly and said, "At this time, we can only rely on Mr. Chen."
If Chen Lang could take over the two companies, it would be good. When the time comes, he would definitely be able to hit Su Guo hard.
But if he couldn't take them down and the news was leaked, once Su Guo was on guard, even if he could take them down later, it would not be effective.
What was more serious was that these two companies were taken down by Huarun Resources. Far away was already at a disadvantage, and it was very likely that they would really have to retreat from the Sunan market.
At that time, Li Dong could only abandon the pawns to protect the rook.
The two people talked for a while and finally fell silent. At this time, they could only rely on Chen Lang.
After a while, Li Dong sighed and said, "Don't think too much. Even if we give up the Sunan market, it's nothing. And even if I give up the Sunan market, I won't let Su Guo benefit. At the last moment, I will give the Sunan market to Bailian. I want to see what kind of expression Ma Jialiang will have at that time! "
Sun Tao let out a bitter laugh. This was probably the worst possible outcome.
Once Bailian expanded in the Sunan market, even if there would be a fight between Bailian and Huarun Resources, it would not be as serious as the fight with Far away.
Instead, it would be inviting a wolf into the house. If both sides kept their eyes on Far away, it was very likely that even the local market in Jiangbei would suffer.
But at this time, Sun Tao was too lazy to persuade him. After all, it had not reached that step yet. If it really reached that step, then they would talk about it.
…
October 1st.
The largest shopping mall in the domestic retail market appeared.
Both Distance and Su Guo launched an overwhelming publicity campaign in Jin Ling city. All kinds of promotional activities dazzled people's eyes.
On October 1st, Su Guo showed her irreplaceable momentum in Jin Ling city.
In just one day, Su Guo had opened 22 convenience stores and 16 community stores around Times Mall.
In addition, there were 11 franchise stores. Far away was surrounded by an unparalleled momentum.
Ma Jialiang personally came out to inspect each store and issued a bold statement, "No matter how much the price of Times Mall is, even an egg in Su Guo's store will be 10 cents less than the other side!"
"As long as I, Ma Jialiang, am still in this position, I will not give up an inch of Jin Ling market!"
In addition to the price war and wolf pack tactics, Ma Jialiang once again strengthened the gradient promotion strategy and the regional concentration strategy. He wanted to destroy the Jin Ling market one by one.
Far away also spared no effort to follow Su Guo's footsteps.
Su Guo lowered the price. Far away lowered the price.
Su Guo organized a store promotion. Far away participated in a wider range of products.
Both sides spared no effort and launched a vigorous bloody battle in the Jin Ling area. Every day, the two companies were operating at a loss.
At this time, it was up to the two sides to see who could exhaust the other. As for who would win, even the industry insiders could not judge.
Ma Jialiang used this trick before to exhaust a lot of people, but don't forget who his opponent was.
Li Dong had always been crazy. He was different from other foreign companies. Once other companies suffered a large loss, they would definitely choose to stop the loss.
But Li Dong was not necessarily the same. It could be seen from the e-commerce war at the beginning.
When this fellow started a price war, he would rarely surrender unless he had no other way out.
Not long ago, Li Dong had just raised 10 billion yuan from the bank. He had a lot of capital on hand. If he fought desperately with Su Guo, the one who would lose in the end was likely to be Su Guo.
After all, this was a state-owned enterprise, an enterprise under China Resources. Once the scale of the loss was too large, Ma Jialiang would not be able to support it.
Also, it depended on the attitude of China Resources Vanguard.
If China Resources Vanguard also started to fight in other areas, Far away would have to fight. If both sides lost money at the same time, Far Away might not be able to hold on until the end.
Of course, it all depended on whether China Resources Vanguard had the courage to do so.
If Chen Lang was in charge, it was very likely that he would use this trick.
But Hong Ji, who had just taken over as China Resources Vanguard's CEO, did not have the courage to do so. He had not even completely taken over China Resources Vanguard. At this time, if they fought with Far away and suffered losses as soon as they took over, the higher-ups might not agree.
In general, at this time, both sides had their pros and cons. It was really difficult to see who would win.
The outside world guessed that this bloody battle would last for a very long time, and the moment that would decide the outcome might even last until next year.
