December 21.
Du Juan didn’t go to Gome in the morning, and no one has seen Du Juan since the morning.
Of course, the insider knew where she was going.
At this moment, Lao Huang has not been officially imprisoned, but has been detained in the detention center, so Du Juan still has the right to visit.
Under such circumstances, Du Juan could not stop Li Dong's offensive, and the only thing she could do was to ask for help from her husband who was in trouble.
No one knows what Lao Huang said.
Only a few people knew that Du Juan's eyes were red after meeting and obviously she cried more than once.
This northern woman who was strong in front of outsiders really couldn't hold on at this moment.
Fighting with the Yongle clan, fighting with capital institutions, fighting with the Huang family, fighting with the outside, fighting with the inside...
After more than a month since Lao Huang entered, she spent almost all of her struggle.
In the early stage, she could still persist, convince herself, and remain strong.
However, when Li Dong, a business legend who was regarded as a backer and life-saving straw, also came to oppress her, a weak woman, Du Juan couldn't hold on anymore.
Du Juan, who had cried for a long time, seemed to have been completely awake and hid her weakness again.
Back at the company, Du Juan summoned several domestic and US dollar veterans.
With everyone's worried expression, Du Juan calmed down for a moment: "The war has begun!"
This is not her words, it is the original words of her husband in the detention center.
Lao Huang knew that this day would come sooner or later. At the moment when Li Dong was introduced, Lao Huang knew that Li Dong was too ambitious and that this war would break out sooner or later.
But Lao Huang never expected that it would come so quickly and so urgently.
From Li Dong's entry to the venue, it's five days!
Five years, even three years, Huang Guangyu will not be surprised or surprised.
But in just five days, Li Dong showed his ambitions and put them into action. Huang Guangyu was shocked when he first heard the news!
Li Dong is not a hungry wolf waiting for an opportunity, this is a tiger that has completely awakened!
The moment he entered the field, his purpose was to forcibly swallow the prey in front of him.
You thought he would wait, but the facts tell you that Li Dong didn't even give him a waiting time. He was ready to slap food long before he entered the field.
"The war has begun!"
In just five words, the expressions of the executives present changed.
Du Juan was quiet for a while and continued: "Li Dong's purpose is very obvious, to completely control Gome!
This is something I, including the entire Gome, cannot tolerate!
However, now that we are weak, Li Dong is ready to go, it is difficult for us to resist his attack.
If I guess correctly, Fukang is just the beginning. Our other shareholders, Li Dong, must be in contact, including..."
Du Juan paused, looked at everyone and said deeply: "Including you, maybe earlier than I knew!"
Among the elders of the Huang family, some people also hold small shares.
When Du Juan said this, several people looked a little uncomfortable, but Du Juan did not say it in depth and said in a heavy tone: "This is a war that concerns Gome's life and death, and we cannot be careless!
It may be difficult for Fukang to change its decision.
Even if I refuse, it will not be of much use. The final result will only be Li Dong.
Not to mention other reasons, the key is that we do not have sufficient funds, and others do not trust us at all, nor do they trust our strength.
The key to competing with Li Dong is the funding issue and the trust of major institutions.
On Fukang's side, we have lost the core strength of competition.
Among the remaining major institutions, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and CRMC are the three companies, which hold 22% of Gome's equity.
As long as we can get the support of the three of them, even if Li Dong takes over all the shareholders, nothing is enough to worry about.
So, it is urgent that our goal is to convince these institutions to support us.
In addition, we need to raise a sum of funds to prepare to compete with Li Dong in the primary market, including the secondary market!
Perhaps, what we see is just the tip of its iceberg.
Among the shareholders, we don’t know how many people have reached an agreement with Li Dong and how many people are ready to support Li Dong.
But I know that it is not just Fukang!
Everyone…”
Du Juan said, her eyes turned red, and she stood up and looked at everyone and said, "The future of Gome, the future of Lao Huang and I, are all left to you!
We have walked through twenty years of ups and downs.
Now, Gome may experience a disaster that is more than Lao Huang’s fallen due to my decision.
I am a sinner of Gome. However, at this moment, I beg you to help me out for the sake of twenty years of hardships.
When the matter is over, I resign and will never interfere in Gome affairs again!"
Everyone present moved in their hearts, and many people showed their feelings.
Everyone has compassion, let alone working together through thick and thin for decades.
The only director Jay Chou who joined the board of directors in the veterans said in a deep voice: "You don't need to say this, everyone knows that Li Donglangzi's ambitions are all known, and we will never give him a chance to succeed!
Once Li Dong takes over Gome, we will not have a good ending!
Who doesn’t know that Li Dong is arbitrary and has a serious suspicion. Once he enters Gome, he will never be relieved of us elderly people.
At that time, our only choice is to quit Gome.
After so many years at Gome, let us go now, what can we do?
Therefore, resisting Li Dong is not only the affairs of President Du and President Huang, but also our own affairs!"
This is considered to be a criticism of other veterans to prevent these people from taking advantage of the situation and surrendering to Li Dong.
When others heard this, they also spoke out: "We all understand the truth that Mr. Zhou said, "When Wang Yue was thrust into the board of directors, we knew that our hard days had come."
In the past two days, Wang Yue has been pushing for the board of directors' resolutions while investigating the internal situation.
We have been asked these days, and we can see what she means.
Now Li Dong is still a small shareholder, so he dares to make a big move. Once he really takes over, we know what the outcome will be.
Mr. Du and Mr. Zhou don’t need to say anything more. Over the years, we have regarded Gome as our home.
Now that there are outsiders who want to break in, we won’t recognize it!
It was not Mr. Du’s fault to introduce Li Dong. At that time, we had no choice.
The mistake is that Li Dong is too dark and too cruel. The other shareholders are all the two ends of the rat. Cheng Xiao’s Yongle system is also useless. Just knowing that he has internal fighting with us has given Li Dong a chance!
Mr. Du, do you have any instructions? Even if you say it, we will do our best!"
Everyone expressed their opinions. Du Juan felt relieved when she saw this and said seriously: "Then I, Du Juan, are no longer pretentious at this time. Now, in the face of Gome, we need to work together to turn the tide!
As I said earlier, Li Dong may have reached an agreement with Fukang and his family.
Even the Morgan Stanleys may have contacted Li Dong.
Therefore, our most important task now is to win the recognition and support of these capital institutions.
Mr. Zhou, you have been dealing with them for many years, and this task will be handed over to you.
You communicate with a few companies immediately. Even if you can't support us, you have to drag them over and not give them the chance to switch to Li Dong.
This is the first thing!
Second, in Xiangjiang, we still have some outstanding shares in the secondary market, including those convertible bonds. A few days ago, I heard someone say that someone is acquiring them.
Mr. Wang, this matter is left to you. You have worked there, so you can find out the situation clearly.
Let’s lobby major institutions first. If we have no choice, we can take the initiative to repurchase the funds. I will deal with it.
These days, I will go to Chaoshan to strive to raise enough available funds.
Third, Cheng Xiaoyi's attitude.
The Yongle Group controls nearly 10% of the shares and is also an important part of Gome.
The negotiation and lobbying with Cheng Xiao is handed over to Mr. Wu. You have worked with Cheng Xiao for many years. You have full rights reserved for me and Lao Huang. The conditions can be opened and relaxed. As long as we overcome the difficulties, everything will be saved!
Fourth, Gome Electrical Appliances’ trademark use rights and other 360 unlisted stores are now hosted under Pengrun.
Using this point as a bargaining chip, it mainly drags down Li Dong's footsteps.
Li Dong is very ambitious. What he wants is a complete Gome. When necessary, we can choose to use this to negotiate with him and delay time.
To be continued...
