Chapter 353 Premium Acquisition

? Li Dong and Chen Lang couldn't get out, and the security personnel outside couldn't get in.

Seeing this situation, Li Dong knew that it would be impossible not to say a few words.

Raising his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, Li Dong smiled lightly and said, "Everyone come one by one, with so many questions, I don't know who to answer for a while, do you think so?"

Seeing that Li Dong was about to speak, everyone fell silent immediately.

Then someone said loudly: "Mr. Li, hello, I am a reporter from Jiangbei Economic Daily. I would like to ask about the cooperation between Yuanfang and China Resources. Recently, it is rumored that China Resources is going to enter Jiangbei, and even acquire Yuanfang. You and Mr. Chen are now Are you talking about an acquisition?"

Li Dong didn't care that Chen Lang was by his side, and said with a light smile, "These are all nonsense! Yuanfang and China Resources have never had any contact about the acquisition."

The other party immediately asked: "Mr. Li, you mean you haven't talked about it? If Mr. Chen talks about this matter with you now, what is your attitude, Mr. Li?"

Li Dong said with a smile: "Yuanfang will not be acquired by anyone, this is my attitude!"

Excitement flashed on the faces of the reporters, but Chen Lang next to him changed slightly, but he quickly returned to his original state.

The reporter wanted to ask, but Li Dong interrupted: "I won't say much about China Resources and Yuanfang. Some exchanges, I am afraid I don’t know as much as you about other things.”

Everyone laughed, but they didn't continue to ask any more questions.

After all, apart from the Economic Daily, other people are not very interested in China Resources and Yuanfang. Everyone is mainly concerned about some lace news.

Li Dong's voice fell, and someone asked again: "Mr. Li, regarding the slapping of Liu Haoming earlier, can you tell me if it is true?"

Li Dong was silent for a moment, then said: "It's true!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up, and even Chen Lang was a little interested, standing aside with a smile on his face, waiting for Li Dong to explain.

Li Dong didn't explain much, and said with a smile: "The police have already taken over this matter. As for the specific situation, you will naturally know when the time comes."

The reporters were not very satisfied with Li Dong's answer,

Immediately someone asked: "Mr. Li, so you did beat Liu Haoming? Liu Haoming is now detained by the police, saying that he was involved in extortion. Is there something hidden in it?"

Li Dong raised his eyebrows and said: "You have to ask the police about this matter, or ask Liu Haoming himself. I admit that I beat someone. Liu Haoming also reported to the police at the beginning, and the injury appraisal report is there. How should I be punished? Everyone agrees, this matter is actually nothing complicated, the other party said something rude, I got a little angry, and gave him a slap, it's a very simple matter, you don't need to think too complicated."

"Mr. Li, Liu Haoming's girlfriend said that the police are protecting you. What do you say?"

"Where did the cover-up talk come from? Is it rare for young people to fight? Liu Haoming was not injured. Does it mean that the police must arrest me, or even give me ten or eight years in prison? Ask yourself, Everyone here, did you ever fight when you were young?

Or your children, your friends, your neighbors, they didn't fight when they were young?

I'm also a young man, so you don't have to look at me with colored eyes.

The reason why you say that the police are protecting me is that I have some money. Is it the original sin to have money?

In Pingchuan alone, there are eighty fights every day, if not a hundred, should they all be arrested and sentenced..."

After being countered by Li Dong, everyone was a bit uncomfortable to refute, but some still insisted, "Then Mr. Li, as a public figure, isn't it inappropriate to slap others in public?"

Li Dong nodded and said: "I don't deny this, but at that time the other party insulted my girlfriend, you also know that men always want to save face in front of women..."

As soon as this was said, who cares about beating or not beating, someone immediately answered, "Mr. Li, you said you have a girlfriend?"

"right!"

"Can you tell us about the other party's information?"

Li Dong smiled and said: "I won't say much about this, but it's right that my girlfriend is very good, and she and I are childhood sweethearts. We were together when I was poor and poor."

After Li Dong finished speaking, everyone became enthusiastic again.

The word Diaosi has not appeared yet, but you can probably understand the meaning of this word just by listening to it.

Everyone asked excitedly: "Mr. Li, what does Diaosi mean? Can you explain it to us?"

Li Dong was a little embarrassed. He used the word fluently, but he didn't expect him to say it in advance.

But it’s good for everyone to look away, Li Dong said with a smile: "It means short and poor."

Everyone understands these words, although it is still a bit new, but some forums on the Internet are now circulating this word, but it is not as amazing as before.

Then everyone started asking questions in a random manner, which involved many things.

Li Dong said what he could say, and interrupted what he couldn't say. Even so, many reporters felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Li Dong revealed a lot of things today, he admitted the fact of beating someone, revealed that he had a girlfriend, and created a new vocabulary that feels very easy to pronounce.

The word "Diaosi", many media reporters felt that it would definitely spread when they heard it.

Among other things, just this word from Li Dong's mouth is enough for them to write a report alone.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Dong said with a smile: "Everyone, it's almost time, it's almost a little bit soon, and the meal time is over. I haven't eaten with Mr. Chen yet, but Jiang University's free lunch is I was delayed by you, do you think you should compensate us?"

Everyone laughed, and someone answered immediately: "Mr. Li, Mr. Chen, if you don't mind, I'll treat you to dinner."

Chen Lang said with a smile: "I'll forget it. I have something to do in the afternoon, so I have to deal with it now. You can have lunch with Mr. Li, but let's forget about boys. Mr. Li is an unmarried young man. What are you afraid of if you have a girlfriend? , everyone work hard, maybe Mr. Li will be tempted."

Everyone laughed again, feeling that today's interview went really well.

Moreover, Chen Lang and Li Dong were not very serious people, so it was much more convenient to communicate with each other.

Naturally, no one took the matter of eating seriously, and they wouldn't really pester Li Dong and the others, and the security guards outside were in a hurry, so everyone asked a few more questions before letting go.

Li Dong and Chen Lang squeezed out quickly, they both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, did not communicate much, and soon got into the car and left.

It wasn't until he got in the car that Li Dong took a deep breath.

Tan Yong, who was driving, said in a low voice: "Mr. Li, was it not good to admit that you beat someone before?"

Li Dong smiled and said: "It's okay, the more you want to hide it, the more troublesome it is. It's better to be honest. You heard it later, and everyone stopped asking about it. It would be troublesome if I didn't admit it. These guys are all-pervasive. If they I found the evidence, and I can hack you out."

Tan Yong nodded first, then said cautiously: "Mr. Li, what does Hei Chuxiang mean?"

Li Dong patted his head, what's going on today, these Internet terms popped up one after another, it shouldn't be.

Shaking his head, Li Dong said casually: "It's nothing interesting, it's easy to say."

"oh."

Tan Yong responded without asking further questions.

Li Dong didn't continue talking, but was thinking about the evening interview with Chen Lang.

He had just expressed his attitude that Yuanfang would not be acquired, and he didn't know what Chen Lang was thinking.

When Chen Lang approached him before, Li Dong guessed that he wanted to discuss this issue with him. Now whether the other party will still discuss this issue, it depends on whether Chen Lang can have any conditions to impress him.

...

In the evening, Fisherman's Cafe.

Li Dong and Chen Lang sat opposite each other, they were not in a hurry to talk, they sipped their coffee slowly.

After chatting a few words about the school celebration, and chatting with Dean Huang, an acquaintance we all know, the two gradually got down to business.

Chen Lang first said: "Mr. Li, your Yuanfang is also becoming saturated in Jiangbei now, I guess you should be preparing to expand next, shouldn't you be right?"

Li Dong nodded and smiled, "It's natural."

"Then which direction do you choose? Ganzhe or Suyu?"

Li Dong smiled and said, "What does Mr. Chen think?"

Chen Lang laughed and said, "Actually, I don't think it's easy either way. Mr. Li should understand that the first-tier market has become saturated. No matter which direction you go out of the province from far away, it's actually a tiger's mouth."

"That's not necessarily true."

Li Dong laughed and didn't elaborate on this, but asked Chen Lang: "Mr. Chen, you shouldn't be discussing the issue of distant expansion with me tonight, right?"

Chen Lang also smiled, nodded and said: "Everyone is a sensible person, we are still alumni, and I will not play sloppy with you."

"China Resources is bound to enter Jiangbei, and it is the established goal of China Resources to connect East China. Mr. Li, to put it bluntly, Yuanfang is now surrounded by encirclement, and it is too difficult to break out. Yuanfang's capital is not too much, stick to it The portal is okay, but it is even more difficult to expand.

But if Yuanfang becomes a member of China Resources, it will be very different. Yuanfang can definitely achieve greater development, and it is not impossible to even become the second Suguo. "

Li Dong was a little interested and said: "Listen to Mr. Chen, if China Resources acquires Yuanfang, can we still retain our original management team?"

In fact, this possibility is very small. China Resources has acquired so many supermarkets, and in the end, only Suguo can retain the original team.

And just for this, there are still many different voices in China Resources. If it weren't for Suguo's amazing performance in the past few years, Ma Jialiang might have been driven away long ago.

Yuanfang is still not as good as Suguo. If China Resources acquires Yuanfang, it will naturally not keep the original team, especially Li Dong, who is almost 100% out of the game.

Chen Lang chuckled, neither admitting nor denying it.

When Li Dong saw this, he stopped asking, and changed the subject, "Could Mr. Chen talk about the conditions? If the conditions are good, maybe I'm really tempted."

Chen Lang looked more serious, nodded and said, "The board of directors discussed it before coming here, and I agree with it myself. President Li can listen to the two proposals."

"you say."

"First, a wholly-owned acquisition! Yuanfang's current valuation in China Resources is about 800 million. We can make a premium acquisition, 900 million. This price is absolutely sincere!"

"Including the distant building and distribution center?"

"certainly!"

"Baidu stock doesn't count?"

Chen Lang hurriedly said: "Of course this is not included, not even the piece of land that Yuanfang traded with Longhua."

Li Dong laughed and said: "Of course, if this is included, I will drive him away."

"900 million, the price is not low, but I still want to hear about the second plan. If President Chen doesn't mind, you can tell me."

"Secondly, Mr. Li can retain part of the dry stock, but he will not participate in the business operation in the future. Of course, the valuation will still be based on the previous valuation. China Resources also needs to obtain an absolute controlling stake, and the premium will naturally be cancelled. Mr. Li should understand, after all Yuanfang will be merged into China Resources, and we will be able to gain more room for development in the future.”

Li Dong nodded and remained silent for a while without speaking.

Of course, what he considered was not to sell Yuanfang, but to hear what China Resources said about Yuanfang.

Now it seems that China Resources does not actually value Yuanfang too much, which can be seen from the valuation.

Only 800 million, which is almost the same as Yuanfang's actual value.

It can be seen that in their view, the brand value of Yuanfang is almost worthless, which means that the other party thinks that the brand of Yuanfang is actually irrelevant.

This is also related to the short establishment time of Yuanfang. I am afraid that in the eyes of those evaluation experts, the brand of Yuanfang does not have much user stickiness at all.

If they bought Yuanfang and changed the brand, they could still achieve Yuanfang's current results, or even better.

Li Dong was both relieved and a little upset.

Co-authors, you all look down on me, don’t you? Although Yuanfang has been established for a short time, in Li Dong’s view, the Yuanfang brand is worth 300 to 200 million yuan, regardless of its value.

In the Jiangbei market, Yuan Fang is by no means an unknown person.

What's more, now that Yuanfang Mall is open, its reputation is even better than before. After three or two years, it's still uncertain who will win.

From this point, it can also be found that China Resources does not pay special attention to e-commerce, otherwise it would not have mentioned this point. In fact, Yuanfang Mall can completely talk about it on its own.

After thinking about it, Li Dong didn't refuse in person, but just smiled and said, "I have to think about it."

Chen Lang wasn't surprised either. Today was just the first time he had contact with Li Dong. Let's have a brief exchange.

If Li Dongzhen agreed, Chen Lang would probably be in a daze.

Chen Lang had finished talking, but Li Dongke hadn't finished yet.

Then Li Dong tried a few more words, and even talked about Times Supermarket.

Chen Lang was very cautious, and gave affirmative answers to most of the things that were circulated to the outside world. As for the things that did not spread, the answers were ambiguous.

Just like Times, Chen Lang told Li Dong that China Resources is determined to win this, and will definitely win the final victory.

It's fine to lie to others, but Li Dong doesn't believe a word of it.

Of course, don't talk about anyone, Li Dong didn't tell the truth from the beginning to the end tonight, business, talking about friendship hurts feelings, not to mention that the two of them don't have much friendship. (To be continued.)
