"It seems that Mr. Li has made sufficient preparations, and we at Carrefour admit that the places you put forward are our shortcomings, and we are also willing to seriously consider your offer, but we also have our own requirements. ”

Peng Boqiang paused, looked directly at Chen Dongcheng and said: "We do not accept a wholly-owned acquisition, we must retain 20% of the shares. ”

Li Changqing just wanted to argue, but was stopped by Chen Dongcheng reaching out.

"I agree, but the Carrefour Group only has one seat on the board. ”

"We have no other opinions, Carrefour Huaxia will be handed over to Mr. Chen in the future. ”

Bloomberg is very decisive, and compared to other hesitant buyers, Donghua Fund is the only one who is ready to talk about cooperation with real money.

"I believe this is the wisest decision your group has ever made!" Chen Dongcheng said as he shook hands with Peng Boqiang.

When the two big bosses reach a consensus, the rest will be much easier.

It is nothing more than the division of equity and the division of seats on the board of directors.

As a result of the discussion, Carrefour's Huaxia subsidiary will receive 80% of the shares to Chen Dongcheng.

Carrefour's European headquarters holds only 20% of the shares.

In terms of valuation, Chen Dongcheng made some compensation, calculated according to 1 billion US dollars.

Compared with Li Changqing's initial offer, it has increased by 100 million US dollars, which makes Peng Boqiang's face look a lot better.

"After a group photo, I need to go back to Europe to report to the board. ”

After Peng Boqiang shook hands with Chen Dongcheng and took a group photo, he hurried back.

As soon as he left, Tang Jianian shrugged his head in resignation.

You don't have to think about it, he knows that Chen Dongcheng will definitely lay him off.

These foreigners with Chinese names are typical foreigners who earn money and look down on Chinese people.

Just from the composition of Carrefour's executives, you can see one or two.

All the presidents of the domestic regions, as well as the executives of the headquarters, are all white-skinned Europeans.

In the beginning, they were able to take advantage of the mature European business model.

As time goes by, their indecision and missed opportunities will become more and more obvious.

Once the Chinese start to fight back, they will collapse.

Chen Dongcheng didn't mean to talk nonsense with them, he had to hurry up and help Carrefour Huaxia find a new helmsman.

As for who to put at the helm, Mr. Chen had already looked for it before.

……

"Wenyuan, here. ”

Chen Dongcheng sat in the corner of the coffee shop and beckoned to Chen Wenyuan, who had just walked in.

Chen Wenyuan walked over with a smile, shook hands with Chen Dongcheng before taking a seat, and said curiously: "Mr. Chen, did you call me here?"

"There's no hurry. ”

Chen Dongcheng called the waiter and asked with a smile, "What do you drink?"

Chen Wenyuan had to suppress his curiosity and said to the waiter: "A cup of latte is fine." ”

After ordering coffee, Chen Dongcheng asked a question first.

"What would you do if you were to run a foreign-funded retail group with a history of more than 20 years, complex internal factions, and even more chaotic shareholdings?"

Chen Wenyuan's heart suddenly beat violently, and he looked at Chen Dongcheng with some surprise.

He was a little confused about what this Mr. Chen meant.

Chen Wenyuan sorted out his thoughts before he spoke: "If I am asked to be the president, I will first clean up the inside, reduce the proportion of foreign executives, and give domestic talents a channel for promotion." ”

"When I was working at Wal-Mart, I found that these foreign-funded companies have a very significant feature. ”

"That is to trust their own people unconditionally, they don't take the Chinese market seriously at all. ”

"This situation is not only in Carrefour, but also within Wal-Mart, but it is not very obvious. ”

Chen Dongcheng nodded lightly, worthy of being a talent in his photo, and guessed that the company he was talking about was Carrefour.

"Carrefour's management is extremely mediocre, first of all, they are strategically lazy and have no sense of crisis.

They have procurement and distribution centers in other countries, but not in Huaxia.

At the same time, among all the retail enterprises entering China, only the exclusive Lefu does not have a procurement and distribution center.

I think it may be that the self-righteous executives are still basking in their early accolades, but they are on the verge of extinction. ”

Chen Wenyuan's tone was a little sarcastic, and there was some disappointment.

"In the early days, Carrefour's talent was called the Whampoa Military Academy of the retail industry, and it was the existence of various retail companies competing for it.

It's a pity that with the wrong command of those pigs' heads, Carrefour made several big mistakes one after another.

Waking up early is too much to delegate power to the store manager, and things like corruption are not uncommon.

I want to clean up, but I lose the enthusiasm of the store manager.

A large number of store managers have left, resulting in a shortage of talents.

Annual sales began to decrease year by year.

It was only 15 years before they realized the importance of self-built delivery.

But it's too late, and all competitors have already established well-established distribution channels.

They want to build their own supply chain system, and it is impossible to rely on their own hematopoiesis.

The parent company is also short of funds, and short-term blood transfusion is impossible.

can only continue like this, there is a construction without a ride.

If you want me to say, you'd better not get involved in the Carrefour pit, the water in it is too deep. ”

Chen Wenyuan was well-intentioned, and he guessed that Chen Dongcheng might have some interest in Carrefour's shares, and did not want the future partner to set himself on fire.

"It's late. ”

"What's late?"

Chen Dongcheng smiled and put the phone on the table and pushed it in front of Chen Wenyuan.

"Just in the morning, we had just signed a contract, and I became the big boss of Carrefour's Huaxia subsidiary, with absolute control. ”

"What?"

Chen Wenyuan was stunned, the photo on his mobile phone was the photo of Chen Dongcheng and Peng Boqiang shaking hands and smiling.

Then Chen Wenyuan's heartbeat accelerated again, thinking about what Chen Dongcheng asked him just now how to deal with Carrefour's internal problems.

Combined with the special invitation to him for coffee, they are all revealing a signal.

Chen Dongcheng wants to dig him!

Chen Wenyuan suddenly hesitated, compared with Carrefour, Wal-Mart is larger and has fewer troubles.

Not surprisingly, after a few more years, he should be able to get promoted.

"I plan to hire you as the president of Carrefour Huaxia subsidiary, how about you look at the annual salary?"

Chen Dongcheng directly threw out the king bomb, did not play according to the routine, and was very decisive and simple.

If it is the position of the president of the Carrefour division, it may not be able to impress Chen Wenyuan.

But now that Chen Dongcheng has taken out the position of president of Carrefour Huaxia, Chen Wenren was suddenly moved.

In other words, a fool will not be impressed.

Let's not mention the annual salary, this position alone is enough to make Zhang Wenyuan tempted.

How many years did he work for to climb to the position of the head of Walmart's hypermarket in Huaxia.

If you go further, you have to wait for Yue Mingde above to abdicate or be promoted.

As it stands, it is not known how many years.

Three years?

Or five years?

Now there is a direct opportunity for him to take the helm of a retail group with more than 200 stores.

This allure is simply deadly.

Chen Wenyuan smiled bitterly: "You really have a problem for me, I want to know about your shareholdings." ”

"I hold 80% of the shares, and the Carrefour Group only holds 20%. ”

Chen Dongcheng replied truthfully, and was even more impressed with Chen Wenyuan.

It is really rare to be able to resist the desire and understand the situation before making a decision.

Chen Wenyuan is a lot more down-to-earth, at least Chen Dongcheng is the absolute holding.

Carrefour's side should only choose to hold some shares in order to save some face.

However, in the board of directors, Chen Dongcheng almost single-handedly covered the sky.

No matter what drastic reforms Chen Wenyuan makes, as long as Chen Dongcheng does not oppose it, he will unconditionally implement it.

"I would like to know your plan for Carrefour's future, how many stores will be opened in the future, when will it start to make a profit, and how much money are you willing to invest?"

Chen Wenyuan asked more details this time, which also means that he has substituted himself into the role of Carrefour president.

"In the short term, it can not be profitable, and in the next three years, we will invest no less than one billion US dollars, and the number of stores will increase to no less than 400. ”

Chen Dongcheng paused and said: "In addition, I also have the warehousing and logistics that Carrefour lacks the most. ”

"When did you prepare it, why haven't I heard of it?"

Chen Wenyuan was a little curious, he had checked Chen Dongcheng's information before, and he didn't notice that there was a company in this area under his name.

"I have a company called Cao Cao Logistics, maybe you didn't pay too much attention.

They have been active in the southern provinces, doing inter-provincial logistics business. ”

Chen Dongcheng explained with a smile: "Cao Cao's logistics is not large, but the distribution center is very complete, and I have invested a total of 200 million US dollars, plus low-interest loans provided by some local governments......

With Chen Dongcheng's introduction, Chen Wenyuan's eyes became more and more excited.

He didn't expect that under the pressure of many express delivery giants, this small logistics company would have completed such a far-reaching layout.

In particular, the distribution centers in the six major regions of the country will be able to greatly supplement the shortcomings of Carrefour's weak distribution capacity.

What's more, Chen Dongcheng is also a shareholder of Cao Cao Suda.

Chen Wenyuan is very optimistic about moving the supermarket online.

At Wal-Mart, Yue Mingde was at the mercy of many of his ideas, and many of his ideas could not be fully implemented.

But if you go to Carrefour, it's different.

Chen Dongcheng is willing to give him a high degree of autonomy, as long as he does not make a mistake in the general direction, let Chen Wenyuan display his talents.

The conditions that should be opened, Chen Dong Chengdu has finished.

Chen Wenyuan became more and more entangled.

Intellectually, Chen Wenyuan felt that he should stay at Wal-Mart, and he would be able to climb to the position of president of Huaxia sooner or later.

But when Bole really appeared in front of him, he tempted himself with a high salary and the position of president.

The balance in Chen Wenyuan's heart began to tilt, and the side that fell to it was Carrefour.

"Whew!"

Chen Wenyuan took a deep breath and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Mr. Chen, I am willing to join Carrefour, and I hope that my future work can satisfy you." ”

"Okay, my previous promise has been valid, in this way, the annual salary before tax is tentatively set at 10 million, and the year-end bonus depends on your performance, how about it?"

Chen Wenyuan has more than quadrupled his previous salary.

"I'm fine, thank you for your kindness. ”

Chen Wenyuan knows very well that as long as he can reverse the decline of Carrefour Huaxia, with Chen Dongcheng's generosity, bonuses are trivial.

After getting Chen Wenyuan, Chen Dongcheng directly sent Li Changqing and them to contact Wal-Mart.

Now that he is in a period of cooperation with Wal-Mart, it is not appropriate to make too much trouble.

Wal-Mart's Yue Mingde didn't mean to be annoyed at all, but was a little happy.

He is very aware of Li Wenyuan's ability, and it is also a good thing for him to leave an ambitious subordinate.
