Chapter 1248 (1/2)
Money is not everything.
To Li Dong's point, his fortune is over 100 billion yuan. Sometimes it's ridiculous to talk about money.
However, even if he became the head of state, he had to mention money.
The head of state needs to talk about money for national development and economic construction.
Li Dong himself is not short of money, but the development of the enterprise still needs money.
Now, in order to acquire Guomei, to develop online, to spread logistics and after-sales channels, to open up overseas markets, and to realize his big plan
All of these, without exception, need money.
At this moment, the group with a level of 100 billion yuan seems to be too weak.
According to statistics in November, the total assets of the group are close to 200 billion yuan, including liabilities and cash flow.
Among them, the debts of banks and other aspects are nearly 60 billion yuan, and the loans for goods have also been misappropriated from afar by nearly 20 billion yuan.
According to this algorithm, the total debt ratio of the remote group will reach 40%.
In industry, the debt ratio is so high that it is not low.
Of course, logistics and real estate are the two major industries, which increase the debt ratio in the distance.
In a word, in the distance, the most often heard sentence is: no money!
In less than five years, we have been expanding, expanding, expanding
From the opening of the first store with a total assets of one million to hundreds of billions now, the span is not generally large.
It is also because it is too fast, resulting in funds from afar can not keep pace with the rhythm.
Even if Li Dong raised money everywhere, loans, including financing, the funds still couldn't keep up with the pace.
In fact, the current distance, has been able to barely maintain balance of payments.
Supermarkets began to make profits, logistics also made some profits, and the Internet industry gradually began to make profits
These profits, put into the operation of the group, if not expand, barely enough.
Of course, there is still a lot of money in the distant city plan, but the money can be solved through loans.
According to Yuan Chengdao, we should not worry about money until the end of the year.
No one expected that Li Dong was going to do something big just after he came back.
Share in Guomei!
If only this is the case, a billion yuan of funds can actually be squeezed out from afar.
Before Li Dong came back, Yuan Chengdao actually knew the news and began to prepare for the fund.
Less than 2 billion yuan can be transferred from the remote city project or the supermarket.
But when Li Dong sent the others away and left yuan Chengdao a few people, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, ”first prepare 5 billion funds for me.”
”Five billion!”
Yuan Chengdao several people look at each other, for a time are some stupefied.
After a while, Sun Tao said softly, ”Mr. Li, is it for Guomei?”
Li Dong nodded.
Sun Tao slightly frowns, pause just way: ”that you mean, 8% is not our bottom line, we still want to continue to hold?”
Today, you are no longer the former store manager.
Sun Tao has experienced a lot over the years. Hearing Xian Zhiyi, he quickly guessed Li Dong's purpose.
If only 8% of the shares and Guomei's online channels are added, the total investment will be less than 2 billion. According to the plan given to them by Baisu, 1.8 billion will be enough.
Now Li Dong asked them to raise 5 billion yuan, which is obviously not just for these purposes.
In front of the president and vice president of the group, there is no need to hide some plans. Even they can't believe it. The group can hardly operate.
Li Dong pulled out a few cigarettes, one handed one, and then he said, ”I declare to the public that we only need online channels, while offline channels are owned by everyone, but that is relatively speaking.
I said a long time ago that small and medium-sized enterprises can ignore it, but giant enterprises can never let go.
In particular, we do not have a branch in the home appliance industry.
Retail is mainly about department stores and household appliances. Now, in terms of department stores, we have achieved top-notch. With online, many things can go with the flow.
But the home appliance industry can't do it. We don't even have a store specializing in household appliances at present.
Such strength, rely on the line alone, how can you become an industry leader?
Therefore, we must increase our control in this respect.
If we want to increase our control, we have only two ways to go: self construction and M & A!
And self built... ”
Li Dong shook his head and sighed: ”it's too time-consuming and laborious to build our own stores.
At the beginning, we chose to build our own supermarket, which was no way. We had no foundation, so we could only do this.
But in order to complete the national layout, we spent five years, during which we also acquired a number of enterprises, including Carrefour.
Even so, we are still not fully covered in the western and northern regions.This is the supermarket, home appliances, if we still rely on ourselves, it will be another five years!
So, we have only one way left, merger and acquisition!
Today's domestic appliance retailers regard Sulin, Guomei, Wuxing, best buy and Hongtu Sanyuan as the top five.
In fact, the latter three companies are much weaker. Only Guomei and Sulin are the only ones that can really exert influence and actively shake and change the whole field of home appliance retail.
A few months ago, I didn't actually plan to.
On the one hand, we don't have this opportunity. On the other hand, we don't have the strength.
Even when Huang Guangyu just went in, I didn't consider merging Guomei.
But not long ago, I saw an opportunity! ”
Li Dong accentuates his tone. Before, in fact, his layout has been in the department store industry.
The opportunity he talked about was the emergence of the Cheng family.
It was because he knew that Fukang existed and that the Cheng family had offended him that Li Dong began to take the idea of Guomei.
Otherwise, Li Dong may not find Guomei at this time.
Cooperation is possible, holding shares is possible, but Li Dong will not think about holding shares.
Fukang's 8% stake has a great impact.
For a listed company, an 8% stake is enough to change a lot of things, including Li Dong's decision.
So, before going to the capital, Li Dong had the idea of merging Guomei after hearing Tan Yong talk about Cheng Gang.
Sometimes, decisions are made in that moment.
The merger and acquisition of Guomei is not only not in Yuan Chengdao's plan, but also in Li Dong's plan.
At the beginning, Qi Yunna talked about household appliances, including Li Dong. All the senior executives said that they should slow down and slow down.
Can really wait to see the opportunity, do not seize, that is silly.
If you slow down in front of you, you don't have the chance. You have to slow down.
Now, of course, Li Dong has to do everything possible to seize all this.
”Merger and acquisition of Gome?”
Sun Tao's pupils are shrinking!
They all know the rumors, but they always make a joke.
It's true to cooperate with Guomei from afar. Even they have fantasized about swallowing Guomei.
But everyone knows it's not possible now.
So when rumors appeared on the Internet and experts began to analyze them, Sun Tao and they were actually a joke.
These people are not weak in scaremongering. Even we don't have this plan. Do you think we are going to annex Guomei?
Even they don't believe it. It can be seen that the so-called experts are actually bluffing other people.
Du Juanxin?
There is no doubt, at least not now.
Among Guomei's shareholders and board of directors, Cheng Gang really believed that Li Dong would do so.
Even if Li Dong didn't say so, Cheng Gang didn't think about it.
Now, in the whole business community, except for those who follow suit, no one really thinks that Li Dong will be thinking about annexing Guomei.
Even if he has this idea, Li Dong may not have this plan in three or five years.
Now, what did yuan Chengdao hear?
Li Dong wants to merge Guomei!
