March 10th. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Yue from Nanhu and Sun Tao from Mingcheng led the team back one after another.
Fortunately, Wang Yue went to Nanhu last year to inspect and has an early understanding of the local situation.
Sun Tao went to Mingcheng for the first time, and when he came back, he entered Li Dong's office, and said with a solemn expression: "Mr. Li, I'm afraid this is a tough battle." β
Nanhu and Mingcheng have always been economically developed areas in Jiangbei, and domestic retail enterprises of all sizes will naturally not let go of these two pieces of fat.
As early as 02, there were some supermarkets in the two places.
Now it is 06 years, and the retail industry in the two places has been relatively developed, and supermarkets of all sizes have almost divided more than 80% of the market.
Now that the distance wants to enter the two places, it is natural to pull teeth from the tiger's mouth, and the supermarket stores in the two places will definitely be the same to the outside world.
This is even more difficult to fight than the battle in Pingchuan, after all, Li Dong set up the Longhua store in 04 years on the Pingchuan side, and even the headquarters was moved to Pingchuan, and the distance has a home advantage in Pingchuan.
Now go to Nanhu and Mingcheng, that is, to play away games, obviously very difficult.
Li Dong had expected this, and after listening to Sun Tao, he said: "No matter how difficult it is, we have to gnaw it down, it's still too late, and it's too late to wait for two more years for us to be stronger." β
Sun Tao nodded, and said: "It's not that I'm worried that I won't be able to gnaw this hard bone, the key is that there is no money for the construction of the new store." β
Yes, there is no money again in the distance.
In the past two months, all the profits from the distance have been invested in the construction of two projects, and the e-commerce side is okay, but it is not time to use a lot of money for the time being, and the 10 million in the early stage is more than enough.
But the development of new stores in the two cities has not used a lot of money, and the distance can't hold it now.
And these two places obviously don't want to return to their costs quickly in the early stage, and now they can only invest, and they have to spend more money.
At the previous meeting, I said that in the first half of the year, Li Dong had to invest at least 100 million yuan in the distance to fill this hole, and this money was used here.
Li Dong frowned when he heard this, "How much money do you need in the early stage?"
"About 30 million, and the rest can be put into it slowly in the later stage. β
"30 Million ......"
Li Dong thought about it, Baidu's stock rose unsatisfactorily during this time, mainly because of the sharp decline at the end of last year.
Although there is an uptick now, the gap is still obvious compared to when it was first listed, especially at its peak.
Li Dong was originally going to make a move above a hundred dollars, but it seems that it is obviously impossible to recover so much in a short period of time.
Yesterday, he took the time to take a look, Baidu does not have many shares in circulation, and the trading volume is not large, if it is really to trade, the price should rise somewhat.
But 200,000 shares can be sold for 178 million US dollars at most.
If this is compared in the future, it will be simply the price of cabbage, and Li Dong is really a little distressed.
However, thinking that it was difficult to move forward in the distance now, Li Dong finally gritted his teeth and said: "Find a way to sell the stock, don't wait!"
If we wait a little longer and Baidu releases its first-quarter statements, the stock price should still rise.
However, the gap is not too big, and Li Dong is too lazy to slow down the progress of the distance for these few dollars.
What's more, when it comes to June, Google will sell its shares, and then the stock price will fall again.
With this half a year, the difference should be earned back.
What's more, half a year is enough to change a lot of things, and if you delay it for a few months, you may miss the opportunity.
Sun Tao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, Li Dong had been holding on to the stock and not letting go, he was really afraid that Li Dong would be reluctant.
Now that Li Dong has agreed, things will be easy to do.
Although Baidu's stock price has fluctuated recently, overall, there are still very few circulating in the market, and it is easy to make a move.
At most, the money should be credited to your account.
After talking about the money, Sun Tao was about to leave, when Liu Qi suddenly walked in.
first greeted Sun Tao, and Liu Qi said to Li Dong: "Mr. Li, the Civil Affairs Department sent an invitation letter over there." β
"Civil Affairs Department?"
Li Dong was a little puzzled, why did the Civil Affairs Department send him an invitation letter?
He has never dealt with the Civil Affairs Department, and Li Dong is not very clear about what the Civil Affairs Department is in charge of, so how to find him.
Seeing Li Dong's suspicious face, Liu Qi explained: "It is a charity gala organized by the Civil Affairs Department as the organizer, in conjunction with Jiangbei Radio and Television Station and Jiangbei Daily Media Group, and the Civil Affairs Department hopes that Mr. Li can participate." β
"Charity gala?"
Sun Tao next to him knew more than Li Dong, and interjected: "It's not, the Jiangbei Red Cross Society is very small and is managed by the Charity Federation. The Charity Federation is also under the jurisdiction of the Department of Civil Affairs, and this time the Department of Civil Affairs hosted the party, and it seems that the scale of the party is not small. β
After saying this, Sun Tao asked Liu Qi, "Did you say what the theme was?"
The Jiangbei Civil Affairs Department has not held a charity party for many years, and if it weren't for a serious disaster, the Civil Affairs Department would not have held it under normal circumstances.
Liu Qi nodded a little heavily: "A huge flash flood broke out in the area of Monkey Head Mountain, which triggered a mudslide, and more than a dozen villages under the mountain were covered by mudslides. At the foot of the mountain, four or five towns were flooded, and two neighboring counties also suffered considerable losses. β
Li Dong was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Why is it not reported on the news?"
He really didn't know about it, and maybe it had something to do with the fact that he didn't pay attention to the local news.
After all, Monkey Head Mountain is too far away from Pingchuan and Qingyang, nominally under the jurisdiction of Jiangbei, but in fact it is adjacent to a neighboring province.
If you really want to calculate it, the area around Monkey Head Mountain has a bit of a taste of three things.
Don't say that Li Dong doesn't know about this now, even in his previous life, he hasn't heard of it.
Li Dong doesn't know if this happened in his previous life, he was still an otaku at school at that time, and even if it happened, he didn't necessarily understand.
Liu Qi sighed lightly: "Actually, this matter could have been avoided, the recent spring rain in the area of Monkey Head Mountain has not stopped, and someone has long been reminded to pay attention to flash floods." However, Jiangbei and southern Jiangsu fought on both sides, and finally delayed the rescue time, and when the two sides negotiated preventive measures, the flash flood had already broken out. β
Li Dong frowned immediately when he heard this.
Sun Tao was even more angry and said: "They don't care about the lives of the people?" No wonder the news didn't report it, I'm afraid it's also because they are afraid that the impact will be bad, so they are embarrassed to hold a charity party?"
Liu Qi was a little helpless, knowing that Sun Tao was not angry with her, but she didn't know how to explain it.
Li Dong waved and interrupted Sun Tao and said, "Things have already happened, what's the use of talking about this." How's the casualty going?"
Hearing Li Dong's question, Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, the local villagers are more experienced, and most of them evacuated on their own when the flash flood occurred. The flash floods mainly cause property damage, but mudslides are a bit more troublesome, and landslides have killed and injured many people. β
"I don't know the specific situation, but when I received the invitation, I asked, and the other party said that about a dozen people died, and I think it should be more than that. β
Li Dong knocked lightly on the table, and asked Sun Tao after a while, "Do you want to go?"
The reason why the Civil Affairs Department invited Li Dong may also be related to his large donation last year.
Coupled with the fact that the distance is getting bigger and bigger now, this kind of thing is inevitable.
From the bottom of his heart, Li Dong doesn't mind helping those who have suffered loss of life and property.
can think that the reason why things have developed like this is that the two provinces have delayed the rescue time, and Li Dong is a little unhappy in his heart.
However, he didn't know much about this matter after all, and even if he went to the rescue by himself, there was no corresponding team and plan, let alone a trustworthy rescue organization, so he could only rely on the government.
If this is a charity gala held by the Cross Society, Li Dong will definitely not bird them.
However, the Civil Affairs Department is different, this is a formal government agency, and the bigwigs above are watching, and now the two provinces are paying attention, even if there is a shady scene, there should not be much, but you can rest assured.
Sun Tao said in a deep voice: "Go, of course I want to go." β
After speaking, he explained: "No matter what, there is still a need to save people and relieve disasters. Of course, there is another point, this is invited by the Civil Affairs Department, and the above must also be paying attention, at this time, we will not come out, and the impact will not be good. β
Li Dong nodded, this is also a factor.
Although it may seem utilitarian to link disaster relief and corporate impact, it is also human.
The money of the enterprise is not in vain, and there are enterprises that do good deeds in obscurity, but this is not the mainstream, the enterprise wants fame, and others get profit.
Li Dong is not disgusted with the fact that enterprises use donations to become famous, after all, it is real money that is spent, and it is always a good deed.
Not to mention others, Li Dong himself did this last year.
Since he decided to go, Li Dong asked again, "When will it be held?"
Liu Qi replied: "At seven o'clock in the evening on March 18, the venue was in the No. 2 studio of Jiangbei Provincial TV Station. It is said that the dinner will be broadcast on Jiangbei Radio and Television Station and Education Channel, do you think you should prepare in advance?"
Li Dong was surprised: "What are you going to prepare?"
Liu Qi hesitated and didn't say anything.
Sun Tao smiled beside him: "What else can you prepare, can you take care of this image." Take the time to do a hairstyle and change a few new clothes, Mr. Li, you say save money, I think you are picking. β
Li Dong had a black line on his face, and said angrily: "What's wrong with my image? When the little girl sees me, she can't wait to throw herself into her arms, and you old bachelor are embarrassed to laugh at me?"
Sun Tao couldn't cry or laugh, shook his head and said: "Don't always squeeze me with a singleton, go back and wait for me to get married, your red envelope is too small." β
Li Dong didn't care about what red envelopes were not red envelopes, but said with a surprised face: "When did you talk about it? Why don't I know?"
Sun Tao smiled but did not say a word, nor did he explain.
Liu Qi saw that the two bosses were not doing right, and couldn't help reminding: "Mr. Li, it is said that there will be leaders from the province at the dinner site, you should pick it up, you are a distant faΓ§ade." β
Li Dong's face is green, what do you mean by this, I still look ugly now?
