Chapter 1242 Take the first step(1/2)
Taking a deep breath, Cheng Gang said in a deep voice: "Okay, then let's talk about business. What business does Mr. Li want to talk to me?"
"Gome."
Li Dong was straight to the point, and Cheng Gang was not surprised.
The intersection between him and Li Dong is the retail business.
China Resources and Yuanfang have already cooperated. Although He Ming has become the president of Bailian, Bailian is not He Ming's one-man show and has limited influence.
These things take time to manage and cannot be changed overnight.
The only thing that can be discussed is Gome.
Li Dong asked to invest in Gome, but Cheng Gang knew about it.
After Li Dong finished speaking, Cheng Gang said: "Fukang supports the distant future to enter Gome. The next board meeting will begin. Fukang has no objection."
Li Dong smiled lightly and said, "Not enough!
Without Fukang, I can still enter the market. The Huang family has no objection, and several investment banks have no objection. If Fukang opposes it, it will be useless.
So at most it can be considered icing on the cake and looks good in appearance."
Cheng Gang had known that Li Dong would not satisfy these things, and thought about it and said: "In the future, at the Gome board of directors and shareholders' meetings, Fukang will follow the distance."
When Li Dong enters Gome, he will definitely have to occupy a place, and it is inevitable to send executive directors.
Fukang supported the distance and won a place for Li Dong.
The two companies combined, Fukang did not agree to reduce its holdings this time, and it was a total of 16% of the shares.
Such a shareholding ratio has a great say.
It is of great significance for Cheng Gang to make such a promise.
However, Li Dong didn't want this.
A promise is a promise, and it is still someone else’s opinion and other people’s opinions. When they are in a critical moment, who can guarantee that the promise is effective?
After Cheng Gang finished speaking, Li Dong smiled and said: "Fukang holds shares in Gome, I know what the purpose is.
I also know what you discussed with investment institutions.
Recently, in the bond market, some people are acquiring Gome's convertible bonds, and I am also aware of it.
I wanted to have a problem with Gome, but I actually had a miscarriage.
Don’t Mr. Cheng understand what it means when entering from afar?
Do you think I have spent money and energy to enter the market, is it to work for you or to work for Huang?
Gome shares held by Fukang were transferred to me, and this is today's business."
Cheng Gang's body was slightly stiff, a hint of unwillingness and shock flashed in his eyes. After a while, he said: "Do you want to control Gome?"
Li Dong smiled and said disapprovingly: "It won't be a problem for Mr. Cheng to worry about it."
Cheng Gang took a deep breath and said for a long time: "Actually, after you were about to enter the market, I knew that some plans had miscarriage.
But Li Dong, don’t you think your appetite is too big?”
"Is it big?"
Li Dong looked surprised and said strangely: "Of course, it is better to do business as you do bigger and bigger. Should you do it smaller?
If this is the case, why did Mr. Cheng go out and do something that you think is very popular?
My actions are in line with the goals and positioning of the distance, but Mr. Cheng, I don’t think it understands.
Do you really think that after taking over Gome, you can control the entire retail industry?
Not to mention the existence in the distance, Bailian and China Resources, do you really think you will listen to you?
Also, you negotiate with foreign institutions, their purpose is to make money, not to run a business.
In the end, they cashed out and ran away. Can Gome really hold on?
Your purpose is not for Gome, nor for business operations. Gome is in your hands, it is just a tool. Instead of doing this, it is better for me to do it.
Mr. Cheng, or do you think you still have hope of success?”
Cheng Gang was silent for a while, and then said for a long time: "Fukang spent 3.2 billion to acquire these shares."
This is actually a compromise. Li Dong is right. When he entered the market, some plans have actually gone bankrupt.
The Huang family and Li Dong, and Li Dong, will inevitably be biased towards Li Dong's investment institutions after entering the market, and they have no hope.
Capital institutions also depend on people.
Lao Huang is here, they believe Lao Huang.
Lao Huang is gone and Li Dong enters the market. Will the investment institution think that Li Dong is not as good as Lao Huang?
Li Dong, known as the Golden Hand, has countless people favor and trust him in the capital market.
Most of Gome's equity is in the hands of investment institutions.
In fact, a large part of the outstanding shares in the secondary market are in the hands of capital institutions.
If you really count it, it is 100% more than 51%. In this way, the hope of Fukang and Yongle joining forces to control Gome will be shattered.
Since this is the case, Cheng Gang is not a person who can't choose.
If you continue to hold shares, you have to bear the pressure from both the Yuanfang and the Huang family. With a large amount of funds left, it is hard to say what the outcome of Gome will be and the money is limited, so you might as well withdraw.
"3.2 billion?"
Li Dong chuckled and said, "Du Juan and I have also talked about so much about 8% of the shares. I gave her 1.5 billion yuan. Du Juan was grateful.
Now, Mr. Cheng’s words are doubled. Do you really think I am a bank?”
"1.5 billion!"
Like Du Juan, Cheng Gang was shocked and angry at this time!
Fukang entered the market with real money, and he did not falsely report 3.2 billion.
At this time, Li Dong spoke for 1.5 billion, obviously he had ulterior motives!
Cheng Gang could no longer hold it back, suddenly stood up, held the table with both hands, looked at Li Dong and said angrily: "Mr. Li, you and I know something!
I can give in, but I will never make such a concession!"
Li Dong frowned slightly, pressed his hands and said, "What's the intimidation for Mr. Cheng? Is it strange to have losses and profits in business?
Although Gome is suspended now, you don’t know what the situation is before it is suspended?
At this time, Gome was already suffering serious losses and its value dropped sharply. Could it be that I would pay for your investment failure?
Also, Gome now has a total of 4.6 billion convertible bonds abroad.
If I take these bonds, I will follow the current situation of Gome and the agreement agreed upon at the beginning.
I will convert all of these 4.6 billion bonds, and I am afraid I can get the diluted 20% of Gome shares.
By doing this, your 8% dilution will only be less.
I give 1.5 billion, are you still not satisfied with this price?"
Cheng Gang gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Li, this is not how the accounts are settled!
And those convertible bonds do you think you can get them so easily?
Not to mention 4.6 billion, you can’t get 1.6 billion!
Also, everyone had an agreement before that even if they were converted, they would not be able to achieve that much."
Li Dong sneered: "Does the agreement be followed?
I took the bonds and did not convert them. After maturity, can Gome really take out 5 billion in cash to repay the money?
By then, the agreement was just a piece of waste paper!
Mr. Cheng, we don’t have to worry about these things. The loss in Fukang’s investment this time can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
After Gome resumes trading, its stock price may fall below the bottom line. What do you think?
I won’t enter the market now and continue to suppress Gome for a while. At that time, I’m afraid you will have to sell it for 1 billion. If you don’t sell it, you will die!
I gave 1.5 billion, but I just don’t want to take advantage of you or be criticized!
But if Cheng is not satisfied, there is nothing to talk about!"
Cheng Gang gritted his teeth in hatred, yes, what Li Dong said was right.
Fukang's losses were not caused by Li Dong, but if Li Dong had not been able to win Gome, they would still have hope of resurrection.
Even if you want to sell it, you have to wait until Gome is in better condition.
Now is the lowest point for Gome. 1.5 billion is indeed not a low, but will anyone sell it at this time?
When Li Dong was talking about a deal at this time, he was actually bullying others.
However, can he not accept it?
But once you accept it, it will be a big loss and a big avalanche!
When Fukang entered the market, the money he paid exceeded 1.5 billion, and it sold at the lowest point. Who can be willing to do so?
Seeing that he was full of anger, Li Dong sneered: "Mr. Cheng, the words have come to this point. You can think about it yourself.
1.5 billion, I don’t make money from you, so don’t make money from mine.
Everyone trades fairly, you are willing to do it. If you really don’t want to, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”
