Chapter 373: At the Beginning of Negotiations, Yuzhuang Opens

Holding something worth hundreds of millions in his hand, Li Dong couldn't sit still.

As soon as Zheng Rao left, Li Dong took Tan Yong and the others to the Jiangbei headquarters of CCB and rented a safe deposit box at the bank.

Li Dongcai heaved a sigh of relief when he came out of the bank.

Throwing the plastic bag in his hand to Tan Yong, Li Dong said: "You have worked hard these days, so take it back and divide it."

Tan Yong weighed it, and then looked at the thickness. There may be no less than 50,000 in the bag.

He wanted to refuse, but seeing that Li Dong had already boarded the car, and the brothers around him looked eager again, Tan Yong didn't say anything more.

He knew in his heart that it was probably because of what happened yesterday.

Although he didn't know what was in the box yesterday and what was in the other pillar, Tan Yong knew that the value must be more than the 50,000 that Li Dong gave him.

People like themselves should know what to do after giving money.

...

Originally, Li Dong planned to take advantage of his free time these two days to buy all the things that were lacking in the villa.

But the garage has not been tidied up, and the golden decoration in the hall is also looking for someone to fix it, so Li Dong is not in a hurry to buy things.

On May 31, several people in Yubo finally finished the preparations.

Li Dong simply looked at the negotiation plan and didn't pay any more attention. In fact, the key to this negotiation is not these. Li Dong's confidence comes from some secret information he has.

On the afternoon of the 31st, Li Dong let Yu Bo and Sun Tao into his office.

The three of them talked in secret for more than an hour, and when they came out of Li Dong's office, Yu Bo was full of fighting spirit, and his spirits were a lot more excited.

The few pieces of news that Li Dong gave him just now are very important.

First, the main opponent this time is not China Resources Group or Bailian Group, but Wumart, the least favored Wumart.

Because these three are now pursuing wholly-owned acquisitions, and according to Li Dong, if Wumart can’t win Times, I’m afraid it will give up wholly-owned acquisitions and choose to hold shares.

Once the wholly-owned acquisition is given up, Wumart will have more opportunities.

For the senior management of the era,

A wholly-owned acquisition means that they all have to step down. Once the emperor and the courtiers, other companies have acquired the era, and they will definitely have no results.

But holding shares is different. Holding shares means that Times still holds part of the shares.

With equity, plus they are still old people, the biggest possibility for Wumart is to compromise at that time. They have the right to operate, but not the actual management right. They will still be high-level management in the future.

If other companies cannot offer a generous price, Times may prefer to be controlled by others.

This is the first point, and the second point is the possible reserve price on the Times side.

This was actually Li Dong's guess. He didn't know exactly why the acquisition was unsuccessful and the newspaper didn't report it.

However, at that time, Wumart reported that it spent 1.2 billion to acquire 50% of the shares of Times.

Half of the equity is worth 1.2 billion, but because it is not a wholly-owned acquisition, the premium may be lower. Li Dong guessed that the base price for a wholly-owned acquisition by Times should be between 2.5 and 2.6 billion.

The current actual valuation of Times is only a little over 2 billion, and more than 2.5 billion seems a bit inflated.

This is also the main reason why China Resources Wumart and these groups have not been able to negotiate successfully. The premium is 20%. As far as the current situation is concerned, the era is not worth the price.

Of course, Li Dong doesn't care.

He doesn't know anything else, he only knows that in 2009, Lotte spent more than 4 billion on the acquisition of Times.

In three years, the purchase price has increased by more than one billion or two billion. This is not a small amount, and it also shows that the prospects of the times are still good. Now that the investment is more than two billion, within three years, even if it is the same as in the previous life, there is no such thing as Yuan Fang With the support, the value of the era can almost double.

If there is an alliance between Times and Yuanfang, maybe Times will be even better than before, and the increase will be even greater.

Earning billions in three years, Li Dong is naturally willing to do this kind of business. Unlike making quick money, a real business has doubled in three years and is still worth billions of dollars. This kind of profitability is already worthy of special mention.

After talking about these two points, Li Dong told Bo the third message, which was also the last trump card.

If in the negotiation, Yuanfang loses to Wumart.

Then Yu Bo has to find a way to reveal to the times that Wumart's capital chain may be broken. This is not fake news.

In the previous life, Wumart had reached an acquisition agreement with Times, but in the end it ended without a problem, because of the problem of the capital chain, which led to the suspension of trading and the investigation, making it unable to acquire.

The current era may not have noticed it, but if you really have to check it carefully, you can still see some clues.

Over the past year, Wumart has continuously acquired other small and medium-sized enterprises, and its funds have long been tight. Now that it is going to acquire Times, it is normal to have no money.

With these three pieces of news, if Yu Bo still loses, then Li Dong has nothing to say.

Yu Bo happily left, but Sun Tao was not in a hurry.

After sitting in Li Dong's office for a while, Sun Tao said: "Mr. Li, is the bottom line of 2.4 billion price less? You have already said that the psychological price of Times is more than 2.5 billion."

Li Dong smiled and said: "This is what I want to tell you. 2.4 billion is the price I gave Yu Bo. If it is too high, I am afraid that he will not be able to work hard. After all, it is related to a fund of 100 or 200 million. It’s also a bit difficult. Of course, if it’s not enough at the last minute, you can personally come forward and set the price within 2.6 billion.”

Sun Tao nodded when he heard the words: "President Li, don't worry, I won't use this right unless it is absolutely necessary."

26 to 24, it seems that there is not much difference.

But don't forget what the unit is, 200 million yuan is enough to open five more large shopping malls in Jiangbei.

Although Yuanfang has many stores now, there are not many large shopping malls. How much profit can the five large shopping malls bring to Yuanfang every year? If you think about it, you will know how important the gap of 200 million yuan is.

Li Dong smiled and didn't say much, and explained a few words to Sun Tao, and then ended the conversation.

...

June 1st.

This day is probably the busiest time for Li Dong.

There are two things to do today. First, send Yu Bo and the others off.

The situation in southern Jiangsu is very tense, one day sooner rather than later, after the preparations are done, everyone in Yu Bo will leave to contact the times.

There were a lot of people going this time. In addition to the eight members of Yu Bo's team, there were also Yuan Chengdao, Liu Qi, Sun Tao, and Sun Tao's two assistants. There were also two cars on the far side, including the driver, a total of ten people. Five people.

Fifteen people drove a total of six cars, which can be regarded as a small team.

Fortunately, these cars are mainly commercial vehicles, and there are only two A6s driving by from the distance. Not many people pay attention to it, so outsiders don't pay much attention to it.

Li Dong personally sent them to the car, and when the six cars left slowly, it was already eight o'clock.

Raising his hand to check the time, Li Dong said to Shen Qian next to him: "I have something to do first, Mr. Wang is going to Nanhu now, you should pay attention to the company's affairs, don't just stare at your e-commerce department."

"knew!"

Shen Qian responded, and said a little tiredly: "Li Dong, let's recruit a few more people later. The company is so busy now that I can hardly keep up. I'm following up on the national debt subsidy loan, and I'm also working on the Yuanfang Building and the distribution center. I'm following, I have to keep an eye on the Faraway Mall, and I have to keep an eye on the layout of the delivery outlets, now that Mr. Sun and Mr. Wang are leaving, you're trying to exhaust me to death, right?"

Li Dong said casually: "Let's put the distribution center and Yuanfang building first. Don't the company still have so many directors? Let them go to two people to watch, we can't let them have nothing to do."

"Still eating! Who is free now? We only have so many directors in the distance. Director Zhang went to Pingshan to discuss the acquisition. Director Hu and Director Liu followed Mr. Wang to Nanhu and Mingcheng to supervise the opening of new stores, plus The personnel side is busy with the recruitment for the graduation season, and the whole company is almost too busy to touch the ground."

Hearing what Shen Qian said, Li Dong knew that Yuan Fang was already so busy.

Moreover, the disadvantages of Yuanfang's short establishment time have gradually emerged, and there are still not enough manpower to take charge of it alone.

But now is not the time to rush to talk about this, Li Dong looked at his watch again and said: "I'll talk about this later, I'm really busy now, if I don't go, my parents will be so angry today."

Li Dongyi said that Shen Qian just remembered something, and hurriedly said: "The restaurant opened today?"

"Yeah, didn't I mention it to you last time."

"I've been busy and forgot recently!" Shen Qian patted her head and said with some annoyance: "If you didn't say it earlier, it would be too late to send the flower basket now. How about this, please say hello to uncle and aunt, and say that I was squeezed by you If you can’t go, I will make up for the opening ceremony later.”

Li Dong rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "It's enough to have a good voice, and you don't need to add anything to the last half of the sentence."

After finishing speaking, Li Dong didn't care about continuing to chat with Shen Qian, and asked Tan Yong to go to Changping Avenue after getting in the car.

The restaurant opens at 8:08 in the morning, and it is already 8:30, so it's already late, if I don't go to my father, my mother will have to go crazy.

...

It was almost nine o'clock when Li Dong arrived at Changping Avenue.

Li Dong visited his parents' restaurant once, except when he bought the house, and almost never visited after that.

I came here today to take a look, only to find that the hotel has changed a lot.

Some of the old exterior walls were repainted, and the wall facing the street was demolished and replaced with a glass wall, which looks a lot more atmospheric.

The signboard of the restaurant has also been changed. Li Dong forgot what hotel it was before. The current restaurant is called "Dongfang Yuzhuang".

The name is said to have been taken by Li Chengyuan, who followed Li Dong's routine and directly used the homophony of Li Dong and Cao Fang's names.

The restaurant's main business is grilled fish, and its signature dishes are all kinds of fish, so it was called this name in the end.

Nine o'clock was still morning, so naturally no one would come to eat at this time.

However, the front of Dongfang Yuzhuang is still very lively. This time the restaurant opened, the old couple finally had a good time.

The money was not saved, and the firecrackers were set off for more than half an hour, and a lion dance team was specially invited.

It was already summer at this time, and it was early in the morning, and Changping Street was still very popular at nine o'clock.

The liveliness of two lions, one big, one small, and three lions dancing at the gate of Dongfang Yuzhuang attracted many people to stop and watch.

The welcoming guests and waiters of the restaurant were not idle either. They all wore red overalls and shuttled among the crowd. Some were distributing leaflets, and some were introducing the restaurant's signature dishes to passers-by.

Many people are interested, after all, this is the first such large-scale grilled fish shop on Changping Street.

In the past, there was no grilled fish on Changping Street, but generally it was not big. On the one hand, there was no capital, and on the other hand, many people subconsciously felt that grilled fish was just a sideline of opening a restaurant, and the main business would definitely not be big. .

If it weren't for Li Dong's support, Li Chengyuan and Cao Fang might not dare to invest so much money in a grilled fish restaurant. Of course, they don't have that much money.

When Li Dong's car arrived, he saw many people.

As soon as the Maybach stopped, Lin Meng, who was directing people at the door, hurried over.

When Li Dong got out of the car, Lin Meng in professional attire smiled like a flower and said, "Dongzi, you are finally here. Uncle Li and Aunt Cao are waiting impatiently."

Li Dong smiled and said: "I can't help it. The company happened to have something to do in the morning, so I really can't leave. Besides, I can't help much when I come. With Sister Lin Meng here, I believe Yuzhuang will be fine."

Hearing what Li Dong said, Lin Meng smiled even more happily, and hurriedly said a few words of self-effacing.

The two exchanged a few words, Li Dong glanced at the lively lions dancing next to him, and said, "The effect is good, there are quite a lot of people."

Lin Meng led Li Dong to the restaurant while explaining: "It's okay, it opened after eight o'clock, and six boxes have been booked up to now, and seven or eight tables have been booked in the lobby. After one day, thirty or forty There should be a table."

Dongfang Yuzhuang is not a small place, with forty tables arranged in the hall.

There are nearly 20 boxes on the second floor. If you can receive 30 or 40 tables in a day, you will definitely make money.

In fact, there is no worry about rent, as long as you can receive ten tables a day, you will not lose money. At this time, the profit of the restaurant is very high.

Li Dong nodded and followed Lin Meng into the restaurant.

It's not time for meals, there are not many people in the restaurant, and some waiters are busy everywhere.

Li Dong glanced at Cao Fang and the others, but saw Cao Feng. This guy was helping to move things. Li Dong glanced at him and didn't call him.

It was Lin Meng who helped to explain: "The Yuzhuang opened today, and Fengzi asked a colleague to change shifts."

Li Dong said with a smile: "You have to come even if you don't change shifts, otherwise my mother will die of anger."

Then he asked Lin Meng, "Where are my parents?"

"Uncle Li and the others are entertaining guests upstairs."

"guest?"

"Well, isn't this the opening of the restaurant? It's a great event. Uncle Li and Aunt Cao notified some relatives and friends. Many people came in the morning, and they are all upstairs now."

"relatives?"

Li Dong muttered, he really didn't know this.

He thought that his parents would definitely choose to keep a low profile this time, but he didn't expect the couple to change their temper this time and make a show of it.

Li Dong also has no objections, parents can invite them if they want, and it's good to have some fun.

Seeing Lin Meng and himself standing here for a while, several waiters came to ask for instructions, Li Dong said to Lin Meng: "You do your work first, I'll go up and have a look, don't delay your business."

Lin Meng didn't insist, nodded and smiled: "Okay, then I won't send you up, there is only one table upstairs, you can find it when you go there."

Li Dong waved his hand and took Tan Yong up to the second floor. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
