The morning session lasted until just after eleven o'clock. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The others left one after another, and when Li Dong went out, Sun Tao was waiting at the door.

Seeing Li Dong come out, Sun Tao smiled and said, "Let's go out to eat together?"

Li Dong nodded and said, "Let's go together." ”

The two went downstairs while chatting.

Li Dong and Sun Tao usually eat more at the company at noon, and they also have a designated restaurant.

Entering the hotel, the boss hurriedly smiled and said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Sun, is it still the old rule at noon?"

Li Dong nodded and entered the small box with Sun Tao.

After sitting for a while, the boss walked in with a teapot and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, Mr. Sun, Mao Feng who just arrived in front of the Ming Dynasty, try the taste?"

Li Dong smiled and nodded, waited for the boss to finish pouring the tea, took a sip casually, and then said, "Good tea!"

The boss happily said a few words modestly, although he understood that Li Dong was mostly polite, but he was still very satisfied and walked out of the box.

As soon as he left, Li Dong got down to business: "What do you think about the subsidiary?"

Sun Tao looked for Li Dong precisely for this matter, and when he saw Li Dong mention it himself, he thought about it and said, "I feel that you are a little anxious." ”

"You don't agree?"

Sun Tao shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't agree, I just think it's too fast." The mall has just been launched, it has not yet made a profit, and the balance cannot be maintained, so it will do more harm than good to set up a subsidiary at this time. ”

Li Dong was not in a hurry, and asked with a smile, "What do you say?"

Because he was not in the company, Sun Tao did not hide it, and said directly: "I will say two points, first, if the distant mall is split out and financially independent, will there be any change in the distant investment in the mall?"

Li Dong thought for a while and said, "Probably not, maybe I will increase investment." ”

Sun Tao frowned, and said disapprovingly: "If this is the case, then what is the point of establishing a subsidiary? The investment is not small, and it cannot be profitable in the short term, and the establishment of a separate team will only increase expenses." ”

Li Dong smiled: "The main thing is to avoid risks. ”

"Risk-averse? Do you think the mall is a big risk?"

"It's hard to say, after all, it's the Internet industry, and you and I don't really know much about it. During this time, I have studied a lot of Internet companies, and at the last moment, it is almost inevitable to go public, so I want to split them out in advance to save trouble in the future. ”

Sun Tao thought carefully about what Li Dong meant, and after a long time, he was a little surprised: "Do you want to go public independently?

In the eyes of these executives, going public is almost an inevitable move.

Generally, when an enterprise reaches a certain point, it will operate and go public.

Sun Tao had always thought about it before, and felt that when a certain time came, Li Dong would definitely operate a distant supermarket to be listed.

But now listening to Li Dong's meaning, it seems that the mall is listed independently, and the parent company of Yuanfang Supermarket still maintains independent operation.

Li Dong said casually: "I'm not going to go public in the distant supermarket, at least so far, I don't have this idea, what do you think?"

Sun Tao didn't know what to say for a while, and Li Dong suddenly said this today, which made him a little overwhelmed.

After being silent for a long time, Sun Tao said softly: "Then let's not talk about this, I still have a little doubt, after the establishment of the subsidiary, how will the management team decide?"

"I haven't decided yet, and splitting the mall is not a matter of a short time, so let's talk about it then. ”

Sun Tao smiled bitterly, let's talk about it then, how to say it?

Although the subsidiary is nominally under the jurisdiction of the parent company, it is in fact highly independent and has its own management.

Who is the management of the e-commerce department now, it is Shen Qian, Shen Qian is in charge of a department in the company, and let her become the chairman of the subsidiary?

Sun Tao felt that this was very unreliable, and it was a bit difficult for a developing company to be managed by Shen Qian.

But if it weren't for Shen Qian, it would be even more troublesome.

The e-commerce department was almost single-handedly set up by Shen Qian, and if someone else was in charge at that time, what would Shen Qian think?

I took the trouble to build the mall, but I was picked a peach, who can be willing.

Therefore, Sun Tao felt that it was very inappropriate to split the mall at this stage, and Li Dong failed to give him a satisfactory answer to the points he said.

Sighing softly, Sun Tao was full of helplessness, but he didn't know what to say.

After a while, the dish came up.

Li Dong and Sun Tao didn't drink either, and continued to talk while eating.

After talking a few words, Sun Tao provoked a new topic and said: "Have you heard about the Times Supermarket?"

"Which era?"

"Times supermarket in southern Jiangsu. ”

Li Dong thought about it for a moment before asking, "You mean that the era is ready to be sold?"

"Well, recently, China Resources, Wumart, and Lianhua have been in constant contact with the management of Times and want to complete mergers and acquisitions. ”

Sunan Times and Suguo are both leaders in the retail industry, and Suguo has been acquired by China Resources.

If Times is acquired by China Resources again, then Sunan will be operated by China Resources into a tin bucket.

The strategic goal of the distance is also the southern Jiangsu region, and the entry into the Suzhou-Henan-Lu region is the established goal of the distance.

If it is acquired by the other two, the situation in the distance is not much better.

Wumart is mainly engaged in the Beijing-Tianjin zone, and once it opens up southern Jiangsu, it will complete strategic expansion, and even open up the market in Jiangbei.

At present, it seems that the best result is that Times will be acquired by Lianhua, which is probably the least threatening to the distance.

Li Dong pondered for a moment, recalling the memories in his mind.

He was not too impressed by Times Supermarket, after all, he had not been out of Jiangbei much in his previous life, and he had not done much to understand the retail industry in other regions.

However, there is one thing that Li Dong remembers clearly, that is, the last era was not acquired by any of these three.

And now the Times Supermarket has not yet been listed, Li Dong vaguely remembers that the Times Supermarket seems to be listed in the second half of next year, and it was finally acquired by Lotte Mart after being listed for a period of time.

In the early stage, Wumart should have the upper hand, and even announced that it would invest in the acquisition of half of the shares of Times.

However, it should have been Wumart Commercial investigated by the government and suspended for a long time, resulting in the inability to pay the acquisition price and finally forced to stop the acquisition of Times Supermarket.

Thinking of this, Li Dong didn't take it to heart and said, "Let them play, it has nothing to do with us." ”

Seeing this, Sun Tao said: "How can it be okay, isn't the distance ready to enter southern Jiangsu? Now mergers and acquisitions are in vogue, if we can win the Times Supermarket, then the strategic layout of southern Jiangsu will be more than half completed." ”

Li Dong almost choked to death by rice!

After coughing for a while, Li Dongcai looked at Sun Tao in surprise and said, "Are you sure you're not drunk?"

Sun Tao smiled dryly: "I'm sure I'm sober." ”

"Then do you know how much Times Supermarket is worth now?"

"It's probably about two billion. ”

Li Dong said angrily: "Then you still say that you are not drunk? I think you are drunk and confused, we are not as big as the times in the distance, you let me swallow the big with a small one, and I think it is quite beautiful." ”

If possible, Li Dong is naturally willing to buy the era.

Times Supermarket not only has a layout in southern Jiangsu, but also has an industrial layout in Henan Province and Lu Province.

Once it can win the era, it will be a leap forward in the distance, breaking through from Jiangbei to the entire East China field in one fell swoop.

At present, the retail industry in East China is dominated by China Resources, and other supermarkets and stores can only be subordinated to it, and Yuanfang is no exception.

Li Dong's biggest competitor in East China is the China Resources Department, especially its Suguo, which is an obstacle to entering southern Jiangsu from afar.

Li Dong's previous idea was to take it step by step, with the help of the influence of the mall, and slowly encroach on it.

Now that these veteran retail enterprise overlords have not paid attention to online, Li Dong's idea is to use the influence of distant malls to slowly encroach on the customer base of the younger generation, and there should not be much conflict with China Resources in the short term.

In addition, China Resources is not a monopoly, and others are happy to see themselves touch the tiger's buttocks, and Li Dong is not afraid that he will be collectively suppressed by the industry.

But it takes time, don't look at what Li Dong and Shen Qian said domineeringly, in fact, he really doesn't have a big grasp.

Even if we can finally get out of Jiangbei, East China will not be able to dominate from afar in a short time.

If you want to surpass the influence of China Resources in East China, Li Dong doesn't know how long it will take, maybe he won't see hope in this life, and it is not impossible.

Rebirth is not omnipotent, he can lead the distance in the right direction, but there is no guarantee that the distance will be invincible.

But now that Sun Tao mentioned this, Li Dong seemed to feel a little hopeful again, and he felt very contradictory.

After thinking for a while, without waiting for Sun Tao to speak, Li Dong said again: "The era of mergers and acquisitions is indeed a good move, since you said so, do you have any ideas?"

Sun Tao touched his nose and said with some embarrassment: "That's not true, but I think I can give it a try." ”

"How to try? There is no money to say that these are useless, and what we want to do is a wholly-owned acquisition, otherwise the follow-up restructuring will be very troublesome, and the wholly-owned acquisition will definitely have a premium, and two billion may not be enough." At least 2.5 billion yuan must be prepared, and it has to be a cash acquisition, why do you think we should fight the idea of the times?"

Sun Tao squeezed his eyes at Li Dong and said in a low voice, "Mr. Shen!"

"you!"

Li Dong said angrily: "I think you are really drunk, more than two billion, is it up to Shen Qian to decide?"

Sun Tao chuckled: "Secretary Du doesn't want to see the era of distant annexation? This is the invasion of Jiangbei's local enterprises in southern Jiangsu, Jiangbei and southern Jiangsu have been old rivals for so many years, if we can annex the era, Secretary Du also has a light on his face, right?" ”

Li Dong pouted and said: "It's beautiful, you are a white wolf with empty gloves, and you treat Secretary Du as a fool." ”

If it is one or two hundred million, Secretary Du may help the distant side in order to hit the opponent.

Twenty or three hundred million, this amount of money is too big, unless Li Dong is his own son, or even a son-in-law, Lao Du is not crazy to that point. (To be continued.) )
