Chapter 745: Outside Rumors

Although the complete completion of the acquisition plan of these 47 small supermarket companies will put some pressure on 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 huge increase in a very short period of time, and this growth rate can even be as high as nearly doubled.

This is something that many large supermarket companies dream of doing.

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

So they have no way to complete such an acquisition.

What's more, in the eyes of these large supermarket companies, even if this acquisition is completed, it will not be of much benefit to their respective supermarket companies.

So even though they wanted to shut out Changping Supermarket Company, they were helpless.

What's more, the speed of Pingyu Group's investment in the M&A department is as fast as lightning.

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

A full 40 smaller supermarket companies have signed acquisition agreements and asset handovers are now underway.

The overall acquisition level of these 40 small supermarket companies did not exceed their own value by much. From this point, it can also be seen that the acquisition capabilities of the Investment and Acquisition Department of Pingyu Group are still extremely powerful.

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

The bosses of these companies have no other way out. If they really want to sell the supermarket companies in their hands, they will lose their only property.

So it is not that simple to win these small supermarket companies.

Even with the strength of the Investment and Acquisition Department of Pingyu Group, it should take about half a month to complete all the acquisitions.

But even so, this speed is already extremely shocking.

You know, under normal circumstances, when a company acquires another company, it is really normal to spend a month or two in the negotiation process.

Of course, if the strength gap between the two parties is too large, the negotiation process will be relatively simple and the negotiation cycle will be greatly shortened.

But even so, it would take at least a week to acquire a company.

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

Such a speed, not to mention the outside world, even many people in the Pingyu Group are dumbfounded by it.

Until now, many middle and high-level managers in Pingyu Group suddenly realized that it was definitely not unreasonable for Chen Ping to attach so much importance to this seemingly useless investment and acquisition department before.

Although the scope of work of each department under the Pingyu Group is different, if it is really necessary to evaluate the comprehensive strength of the major subsidiaries of the Pingyu Group, and even the various departments of the headquarters, I am afraid that the investment The score of the M&A department should at least rank among the top 3.

The Investment and Acquisition Department has only just appeared, and within a very short period of time, it has caused such a huge disturbance in the entire Linhai Province, and has shocked countless people. This kind of strength has also convinced many people to the Investment and Acquisition Department.

At the same time, everyone in the Pingyu Group admired Chen Ping's unremitting support for the establishment of the Investment and Acquisition Department.

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

But now, since 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 started the transfer of assets, and the transfer of assets is naturally the follow-up matter of Changping Supermarket Company, and has nothing to do with the investment and acquisition department.

After handing over the follow-up assets and the work of remodeling, Changping Supermarket Company also started to move.

Before that, Changping Supermarket Company only had one large supermarket store in Linhai Province, but the number of employees in this large supermarket store has reached as many as a thousand.

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

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

However, with the existence of these people, coupled with the fact that the head office of Changping Supermarket Company in Dongjiang Province has continuously sent talents from various fields, as well as the large-scale recruitment of employees within the scope of Linhai Province, coupled with the original acquired Some employees of those small supermarket companies believe that soon, the entire personnel system within the Linhai Provincial 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 carry out some transformation on these large supermarket stores and small convenience stores acquired.

As a large supermarket chain company, it is necessary to maintain a certain degree of unity in all aspects. The various software equipment used in the supermarket, as well as the overall decoration style, etc., need to move closer to the same direction as much as possible.

Therefore, after the acquisition is completed, it is impossible for these dozens of large supermarket stores and thousands of small convenience stores to start operating immediately in a short period of time, but it is necessary to carry out simple transformation of these stores first.

The transformation process is actually not complicated. The Changping Supermarket Company has already made preparations.

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

Speaking of which, although the entire Linhai Provincial Business Alliance was shocked by this acquisition, for Pingyu Group, everything went smoothly.

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

Although they are rumors, in fact, these rumors are not groundless.

Because many of these rumors seem to be extremely reasonable.

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

You must know that the overall assets of Pingyu Group are estimated to be only about 40 billion yuan, which is 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 40 billion yuan, but the outside world does not know the amount of liquidity within Pingyu Group, so there is no way to make an accurate judgment.

But even if the overall assets of Pingyu Group are as high as 40 billion, after removing other assets, the amount of liquidity that Pingyu Group can have will not exceed 15 billion at most.

This is because the Pingyu Group has gained huge profits from the land auction. Otherwise, the real amount of funds of the Pingyu Group should be less than 10 billion.

But even with 15 billion yuan, it seems that it is far from enough for Pingyu Group today.

The numbers in this can be easily calculated.

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 also officially started the construction of a large logistics center, with an investment of as much as 1.5 billion. These two projects alone have already cost 2.5 billion.

In addition, Tianyu Entertainment Company has already started preparations for Gao Leyao's national tour concert. For this national tour concert, Pingyu Group has invested three times, and the total amount of funds has reached 15 About one hundred million.

Calculated in this way, these three projects have already invested a total of 4 billion yuan.

If this large-scale acquisition is added to the investment of close to 11 billion yuan, then Pingyu Group's working capital has almost been exhausted.

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

However, after the acquisition of Pingyu Group is completed, Changping Supermarket Company will definitely start the transformation and construction of various supermarket stores.

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

A newcomer in the Linhai Provincial Business Alliance has accurately calculated that in order to complete the complete renovation and construction of these 39 large supermarket stores and nearly a thousand small convenience stores, Changping Supermarket Company needs to invest at least close to 2 billion in funds.

In addition, to complete a series of follow-up affairs, it also needs to invest about 1 billion yuan.

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

Under normal circumstances, the goods needed by a supermarket company will not be paid immediately after the goods are purchased, but the payment will be postponed for one to three months.

That is to say, almost every supermarket company has some external debts. Some of these external debts may be loans, while the other part must be payments from various suppliers.

Completing the acquisition of the supermarket company means that these debts will also be borne by Pingyu Group.

If it is just a supermarket company, then the payment owed to the supplier may not be too much. After all, the payment in arrears is only three months in arrears at most. For a supermarket store, the payment within three months is It will not be a too scary number.

However, if the dozens of large supermarket stores and thousands of small convenience stores acquired by Pingyu Group are all added up, the payment within the arrears period will be an extremely terrifying number.
