Chapter 745: Rumors from the Outside World

Although the complete completion of the acquisition plan of these 47 small supermarket companies also has a certain pressure for the current Pingyu Group, but in any case, as long as it can be completed, it means that Changping Supermarket Company will officially become one of the large supermarket companies in the entire Linhai Province.

Changping Supermarket Company will also complete a great degree of growth in a very short period of time, and this growth rate can even be as high as nearly double.

This is something that many hypermarket companies dream of doing.

It is a pity that although there are several large supermarket companies in Linhai Province, and the comprehensive strength is not weaker than that of Changping Supermarket Company, these large supermarket companies exist independently, and there is no existence similar to Pingyu Group behind them to support.

So they simply can't complete such an acquisition.

What's more, in the eyes of these large supermarket companies, even if this acquisition is completed, there will not be too many benefits for their respective supermarket companies.

So although they wanted to keep Changping Supermarket Company out, they were helpless.

What's more, the speed of Pingyu Group's investment and mergers and acquisitions department is simply lightning fast.

From the beginning of the acquisition to now, in just half a month, more than half of this large-scale acquisition has been completed.

A full 40 small supermarket companies have signed acquisition agreements and are now in the process of handing over their assets.

The overall acquisition level of these 40 small supermarket companies has not exceeded their own value too much, and from this point, it can also be seen that the acquisition ability of the investment and M&A department of Pingyu Group is still extremely strong.

However, although more than half of the acquisition has been completed, this also means that the last few small supermarket companies that have not completed the acquisition are the most difficult companies.

The owners of these companies have no other way out, and if they really want to sell their supermarket companies, they will lose their only industry.

So it's not so simple to win over these small supermarket companies.

Even with the strength of Pingyu Group's investment and M&A department, it should take about half a month to complete all acquisitions.

But even so, such a speed is already extremely shocking.

You know, under normal circumstances, it is normal for a company to acquire another company and spend a month or two in the negotiation process.

Of course, if the difference in strength between the two sides is too large, then the negotiation process will be relatively simple, and the negotiation period will be greatly shortened.

But even then, just acquiring a company takes at least a week or so.

However, Pingyu Group also launched the acquisition of 47 small supermarket companies, but it was still able to complete all the acquisitions within a month.

At such a speed, not to mention the outside world, even within the Pingyu Group, there are many people who are dumbfounded by this.

It is not until now that many middle and senior managers within Pingyu Group suddenly realize that it is by no means unreasonable for Chen Ping to attach so much importance to this seemingly ineffective investment and M&A department before this.

Although the scope of work of each department under Pingyu Group is different, if it is really a rating of the comprehensive strength of the major subsidiaries of Pingyu Group and even the various departments of the headquarters, I am afraid that the score of the Investment and M&A Department can at least rank in the top 3.

The investment and mergers and acquisitions department has just appeared, and in a very short period of time, it has set off such a huge storm in the entire Linhai Province, and countless people have been shocked by it, and this strength has also made many people happy and convinced of the investment and mergers and acquisitions department.

At the same time, for Chen Ping has been sparing no effort to support the establishment of the investment and mergers and acquisitions department, Pingyu Group is even more admired.

Without Chen Ping's foresight, the strength of the Investment and M&A Department would never have developed to the point it is today, let alone complete this crucial step in the entire strategic development plan.

But now, now that most of this large-scale acquisition has been completed, Changping Supermarket Company also needs to make some corresponding moves.

The entire 40 small supermarket companies that have been acquired have already begun to transfer their assets, and the transfer of assets is naturally the follow-up of Changping Supermarket Company, which has little to do with the Investment and Mergers and Acquisitions Department.

After the transfer of follow-up assets and the handover of reconstruction, Changping Supermarket Company also began to act.

Prior to this, Changping Supermarket Company only had one large supermarket store in Linhai Province, but the number of employees in this large supermarket store was as high as thousands.

This is the manpower that the top management of Changping Supermarket Company originally planned to invest in Linhai Province.

Of course, if there were only 1,000 employees, it would be impossible to fully control the dozens of large supermarket stores and nearly 1,000 small convenience stores.

However, with the existence of these people, coupled with the head office of Changping Supermarket Company in Dongjiang Province, a steady stream of talents from all aspects, as well as large-scale staff recruitment in Linhai Province, plus some employees in the original acquisition of those small supermarket companies, I believe that soon, the entire personnel system within the Linhai Branch of Changping Supermarket Company will also be established at the fastest speed.

In terms of personnel system, it is only one aspect of the work that Changping Supermarket Company needs to do.

On the other hand, Changping Supermarket Company also needs to make certain changes to these large supermarket stores and small convenience stores that have been acquired.

As a large supermarket chain company, all aspects need to maintain a certain degree of unity, all kinds of software equipment used in the supermarket, and even the overall decoration style, etc., all need to be closer to the same direction as much as possible.

Therefore, after the completion of the acquisition, these dozens of large supermarket stores and thousands of small convenience stores will not be able to open immediately in a short period of time, but will need to carry out a simple transformation of these stores first.

In fact, the process of this transformation is not complicated, and Changping Supermarket Company has already made preparations.

It only takes about half a month to complete the overall transformation.

Speaking of which, although the acquisition of this operation shocked the entire Linhai Provincial Business Alliance, everything was smooth sailing for Pingyu Group.

However, no one expected that after the 40th small supermarket company completed the acquisition, there were suddenly some rumors that were extremely unfavorable to Pingyu Group within the Linhai Provincial Business Alliance.

Although it is a rumor, in fact, these rumors are not groundless.

Because many of these rumors seem to be extremely plausible.

The content of the rumors is not complicated, and there is only one purpose, that is, to directly point out the current financial situation of Pingyu Group.

You must know that the overall assets of Pingyu Group are only about 40 billion yuan in external estimates, which is already an extremely overestimate of the amount of liquidity owned by Pingyu Group.

In the eyes of many people, the real overall assets of Pingyu Group are likely to be less than 400 billion, but the outside world does not know the amount of liquidity within Pingyu Group, so there is no way to make an accurate judgment.

However, even if the overall assets of Pingyu Group have reached 400 billion, after removing other assets, the amount of liquidity that Pingyu Group can have will not exceed 15 billion at most.

This is still because Pingyu Group has obtained huge benefits in the land auction, otherwise, the real amount of funds of Pingyu Group should only be less than 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

But even if it is 15 billion, it seems that it is far from enough for today's Pingyu Group.

The numbers are easy to calculate.

First of all, after Pingyu Group entered the scope of Linhai Province, it directly reached a cooperative relationship with Linhai Provincial TV Station, and invested 1 billion yuan in the production of variety shows.

The Qinghai logistics company has officially started the construction of a large-scale logistics center, with an investment of up to 1.5 billion, and these two projects alone have cost 2.5 billion yuan.

In addition, Tianyu Entertainment Company has begun to prepare for the national tour that Gao Leyao needs to carry out, for this national tour, Pingyu Group has invested three times, and the overall number of funds has been as high as about 1.5 billion.

In this way, these three projects have invested a full 4 billion yuan.

If you add this large-scale acquisition, the amount of funds that need to be invested is as high as close to 11 billion, so that the liquidity of Pingyu Group has almost been exhausted.

No matter how strong Pingyu Group's own hematopoietic ability is, it can only maintain the internal operation of the original subsidiaries of Pingyu Group in a short period of time.

However, after the completion of the acquisition of Pingyu Group, Changping Supermarket Company will also carry out the transformation and construction of various supermarket stores.

In addition, a series of follow-up events after the completion of the acquisition, such as personnel recruitment, etc., require a large amount of investment.

Some newcomers in the Linhai Provincial Business Alliance have accurately calculated that if they want to complete the complete transformation and construction of these 39 large supermarket stores and nearly 1,000 small convenience stores, Changping Supermarket Company needs to invest at least nearly 2 billion yuan.

In addition, if you want to complete a series of subsequent affairs, you also need to invest about 1 billion.

And most importantly, the acquisition of companies in the supermarket industry is still different from other industries.

Under normal circumstances, a supermarket company will not pay for the goods immediately after the purchase, but will postpone the payment for the goods between one month and three months.

In other words, almost every supermarket company has some external debts, some of which may be loans, and the other part must be the payment of various suppliers.

The completion of the acquisition of the supermarket company means that these debts will also be saddled on Pingyu Group.

If it is just a supermarket company, then the payment owed to the supplier may not be too much, after all, the arrears are only three months at most, and the payment within three months will not be too scary for a supermarket store.

However, the dozens of large supermarket stores and thousands of small convenience stores acquired by Pingyu Group this time, if they all add up, the payment within the default period will be an extremely terrifying number.
