Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 780 Not even a hair less (two in one)

On August 8, at 21:02 pm, Dangdang headquarters in Anwai Street, Chaoyang District, Beijing.

Li Guoqing was sitting in his office, feeling very good.

He just flew back from Wuxi with the company team yesterday, and he is very satisfied with the cooperation negotiation with the local government on the logistics center.

If all goes well, before the end of this year, Dangdang's headquarters in East China will be located in the high-tech zone in Wuxi. At that time, it will vigorously build a logistics center and office building with a total area of ​​more than 6 square meters.

This completed logistics center will become the most important core base in Dangdang's national sales network, covering the entire East China region and partially supporting sales in the South China region.

There is no doubt that this cooperation will serve as a solid step in the vigorous development of Dangdang.com.

From the end of last year to the first half of this year, Dangdang has been developing at a high speed, expanding categories, increasing publicity, and building warehouses. Even many financial media are very optimistic that Dangdang will become the second in the industry in the domestic B2C e-commerce track.

Thanks to e-buy's investment and development in B2C, even Amazon, Dangdang and other companies are brave enough to catch up. However, the initiative of Amazon Huaxia has been suppressed by the US headquarters, and the pace is not as radical as Dangdang. .

In the past half a year, Dangdang's development strategy seems to have changed, and many senior executives close to the core feel that Li is always stimulated by the rapid development of e-buy.

It's just that this kind of Dangdang is highly praised at the media level, which makes Li Guoqing quite useful.

This afternoon, he was sitting in the office talking and laughing happily with the visiting guest Lei Jun, and seeing the expression of the President of Jinshan listening carefully, he felt a little high-spirited.

Li Guoqing chatted with Lei Jun for a while, knowing that he has also invested in the company outside of his job, and jokingly said: "Mr. Lei is so interested in e-commerce, does he want to invest in us? That would be great." , Investing in Dangdang definitely has a bright future.”

Before Mr. Lei could answer, Li Guoqing's phone rang. Immediately afterwards, Mr. Li's face changed a little, and his voice of response was a little high—"What are you doing here? What? Where are you? Where?"

Two seconds later, Mr. Lei watched helplessly as Mr. Li held his phone and stood up.

Mr. Lei asked puzzledly: "Mr. Li, what's the matter?"

Li Guoqing sat down again: "It's okay, let's have a friend."

Lei Jun looked at Mr. Li who said this and frowned tightly. It really didn't look like a happy friend who came.

The two continued to chat, but Mr. Lei noticed that Mr. Li was obviously absent-minded, and couldn't help but wonder who Mr. Li's friend was, which made him have such a change before and after.

A few minutes later, the door of the office was pushed open with a knock on the door of "dong dong dong dong", and a vicious voice came.

"Qingzi, I'm here to collect the money!"

Lei Jun looked back following the voice, and unexpectedly found that the guest holding a stack of documents in his hand seemed a little familiar, like Mr. Fang, but he was not sure about the vicious tone, let's take a look...

"Hey, Mr. Lei is here too." Fang Zhuo led a group of people into Dangdang's president's office, holding the shareholding documents of Yike Investment in his hand, and unexpectedly saw Mr. Lei here.

Lei Jun got up, and was interrupted by Li Guoqing's voice just as he was about to say hello.

"Fang Zhuo, what do you want to do when you break into Dangdang? What do you want to do with so many people breaking into my office? What kind of money do you charge?!" Li Guoqing had a serious face and was extremely dissatisfied. He didn't know that he wanted to grab the official seal. .

Fang Zhuo shook the document in his hand, and then slapped it on the desk: "Qingzi, I don't want to hear that! What is breaking in? I am a shareholder inspecting the company's operating conditions!"

"Is Yike Investment not a shareholder of Dangdang? What's written in black and white doesn't count?"

"Also, what do you think I will charge?"

"Didn't I buy this Dangdang stock with real money? Didn't you insist on buying it back?"

Fang Zhuo turned around and glanced at the employees coming up from the outside of the office, and thought it best to talk to Qingzi directly.

He motioned the people who followed him to go out partly, so as not to make the office so crowded, and then he wanted Lei Jun, who appeared unexpectedly, to avoid it for the time being, but when he turned around, he found that Lei Jun had already sat back, and sat on the sofa. The chair in front of the desk gave way.

Seeing Mr. Fang's gaze, Mr. Lei quickly returned a small smile, and tried his best not to let himself be kicked out. Today's inspection of the e-commerce industry came at the right time...

Fang Zhuo didn't pay much attention either, he sat down on the chair unceremoniously, smiled at Li Guoqing and said, "President Li, you forgot the bet you made last year, right?"

Without waiting for Li Guoqing's answer, Yu Yu, the proprietress who heard the news, walked into the office quickly.

She stood in front of Fang Zhuo without letting her eyebrows fall, slapped the desk again, and angrily said: "Mr. Fang! I have always respected you! You are also a person with status and status! Don't you care about your image like this?" Come to make trouble!"

"I made trouble? Who robbed us of the Tongzhou land of e-buy?" Fang Zhuo settled new and old accounts together today, "Who made trouble?"

Yu Yu said angrily: "Did E-buy sign it? Is it stamped? Is that a robbery? Tongzhou only allows you to build warehouses on E-buy? Is e-buy so domineering? You are always so domineering? There is no one in this world." Is the word 'reason' missing?"

The proprietress was angry, not at all afraid of the richest man in the mainland.

Fang Zhuo was just hesitant, clapping the documents back and forth on the table: "I'm talking about signing, stamping, and reasoning. Today I'm just talking about reasoning. If you grab the land, you should grab it. If you want to cash in the shares, cash them out quickly." , not less than 6600 million US dollars!"

Yu Yu sneered and said, "Your richest man has such a big face. It was 1100 million at the beginning, but now it costs 6600 million with just a click of your upper and lower lips? Why don't you go grab it?"

Fang Zhuo frowned, and looked at Li Guoqing: "This is the number agreed upon by Qingzi and I, isn't it? Mr. Yu doesn't know yet, does he?"

As soon as these words came out, Yu Yu, who was angry, was startled, and then looked at her husband who had been trying to strengthen her anger recently.

Lei Jun, who was watching the excitement, also speculated in his heart, what do you mean?Does this mean that Mr. Li and Mr. Fang had some agreement in private that Mr. Yu kept from it?
Under the eyes of several people, Li Guoqing was a little speechless: "This, this matter..."

He was thinking about how to mention this matter to his wife on the way back after betting on the repurchase of shares. However, the more he thought about it, the more he didn’t know how to speak. As time passed, he decided to start his career first. Anyway, it’s still a long time. Pick a suitable day to say it.

Obviously the agreed time limit for gambling is until December, it's a shame that Fang Zhuo came to him in August!
It's not authentic!

Looking at this scene, Fang Zhuo confirmed the situation. He patted the desk with the documents in his hand, and said leisurely: "On December 12 last year, Qingzi and I attended the e-commerce conference together. Qingzi Very dissatisfied with me still holding Dangdang shares.”

"At that time, it was Ma Dian who suggested the bet, Ding Lei set the bet, Ma Huateng gave the testimony, and Amazon's Wang Hanhua watched it lively. Mr. Yu, you can ask any of them for verification to see if what I said is true."

"The bet is very simple. Can Dangdang's valuation exceed 3 times in one year? If yes, I will sell 18% of my shares to you at last year's market price of 2200 million. If not, Dangdang will buy back this year at 3 times the market price of 6600 million. "

Fang Zhuo looked at Li Guoqing with a smile, and said, "Qingzi, I didn't lie, did I?"

Li Guoqing froze in place under his wife's increasingly fierce gaze.

However, even if he didn't make a sound, Yu Yu knew the truth.

She rushed over with all her strength, and said angrily: "Li Guoqing, I will tear your mouth apart!"

"Hey, hey, what are you doing here? They're all human!" Li Guoqing reached out to stop his wife's angry attack, but Yu Yu grabbed his arm even more fiercely.

The accompanying security assistant tried to pull the two of them away, but Yu Yu got really angry and held on to his arms.

For a while, the office was in chaos, and the documents on the desk were swept to the ground.

Fang Zhuo got up from the chair, leaving room for them, and kindly persuaded him: "Don't hit, don't hit, go back to fight after I take the money and leave, pay attention to the image, I will see the staff later, really Just a small workshop?"

After all, it was not a place to fight, Yu Yu and Li Guoqing gradually let each other go.

Li Guoqing's mouth was fine, but there was a scratch on the left side of his face.

Yu Yu, who has a full beard and tail, looked coldly at the villain who came to the door, and quickly grasped the key information: "Fang Zhuo, even if this bet is true, it is only a unilateral agreement between Li Guoqing and you, without going through Dangdang's agreement." The consent of the board of directors has no legal effect at all!"

Fang Zhuo said relaxedly: "So, I didn't look for you Mr. Yu, I didn't look for Dangdang, I just looked for Qingzi. If you think there is no legal effect, please leave the office and I will talk to Qingzi to see what happened to him. Say."

Although Li Guoqing was arrested, he still said to himself: "My old Li spit a nail!"

Yu Yu turned her head and glared: "Then you pay, you pay the surname Fang now!"

Li Guoqing immediately said: "We are discussing, do you think it is a good thing to put the shares in Fang Zhuo's hands?"

Yu Yu took a breath, the words were not unreasonable, they were words that she often said.

There are two things that she regrets the most.

One is that instead of accepting the financing group headed by Fang Zhuo, Fang Zhuo made up his mind to enter the e-commerce business by himself, resulting in the strongest competitor, Tesco.

The second is the hesitation of disliking Tiger Fund at the beginning, and found Yike Investment to replace Tiger Fund.

If you don't have the first thing, you won't regret the second thing, but...

Today, every bit of Dangdang's progress has a strong competitor to share the results, which makes Yu Yu feel too disgusted.

She was silent for a while, and pointed out a very important point: "Fang Zhuo, if I heard correctly, you agreed on a one-year period until December, and it's not yet time, so why are you bringing so many people to the rush?" Into Dangdang's office? You have disrupted our normal business order."

Fang Zhuo took the document picked up by the secretary from the ground, and said with a slight sneer, "That's Qingzi. If it was someone else, I wouldn't come here at all with such a small amount of money. I came here today to ask, why did you grab my land?" ?”

Yu Yu warned: "There are still 12 months until December, half a year is enough for Dangdang to go further, you want to cash out the shares, you want to realize the bet, so can you judge Dangdang's valuation based on your mouth?"

Fang Zhuo tapped his left hand with the document: "Why did you grab my land?"

Yu Yu continued: "If we really want to judge who wins, then of course we have to wait until December to find an investment institution to judge the value of Dangdang. If we lose at that time, we are naturally willing to bet and admit defeat."

Fang Zhuo still asked, "Why do you want to grab my land?"

Li Guoqing slapped the table suddenly: "You won't say anything else!"

Fang Zhuo changed his sentence: "Why did you grab my land when Lehman shorted Yike?"

As his wife unified his position with him, Li Guoqing became tough again: "The surname is Fang, the bet has not yet expired, and I will naturally see who wins with you in December!"

Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "Qingzi, do you really think the valuation is so good? Since I came today, I naturally asked a group of venture capital investors. None of them gave a valuation of more than 2 million U.S. dollars, let alone Don't talk about breaking 3."

"Excuse me, Qingzi, Mr. Yu, how do you increase Dangdang's market value to 4 million US dollars in April? 3.66 billion Huaxia coins?"

"It's okay to wait until December. If you insist on taking advantage of Yike's turmoil by using abnormal means to snatch Yibu's land, then we will first calculate the shares."

Yu Yu insisted coldly: "December!"

Li Guoqing's wife sings to her husband: "Yes, December!"

Fang Zhuo threw the document on the desk: "It's good to close the office door today, if you insist on December, then I'll invite all the media I can, let Let's all witness this bet that is famous in the history of e-commerce."

Yu Yu's thoughts turned straight, evaluating money and reputation, evaluating the effectiveness of the bet, and evaluating the brand of the company.

Hearing such words, Li Guoqing finally couldn't help picking up the cup on the table and throwing it on the ground: "Fang Zhuo, don't bully people too much!"

"When the payment is settled, everyone is happy." Fang Zhuo was not afraid of throwing the cup, but helped to settle the accounts. "Last year, I sold Dangdang shares. At that time, I offered 3500 million U.S. dollars to Jinxin Capital."

He continued: "After more than half a year of development, Dangdang has made great progress. Although 6600 million is a bit of a premium, isn't this premium worth it to you?"

The quotation is a quotation, and last year it was shouted higher, and of course it will be much lower if the transaction is really made.

However, listening to such an analysis, the parties concerned can feel more or less at ease.

Li Guoqing and Yu Yu looked at each other.

Yu Yu took another look at the scratch marks on Li Guoqing's face.

After all, they are husband and wife, and they barely have a consensus in their hearts that they want to take back Dang Xin Nian Nian's shares.

Yu Yu slowly said: "Mr. Fang, you came to the door like this today. As a member of Dangdang's board of directors, it is indeed the first day I know about the bet between you and Li Guoqing. I can understand, but I can't accept your asking for such a high price. If you are sincere, then we can sit down and talk."

Fang Zhuo listened to what the proprietress said, and turned his attention to Li Guoqing who was spitting and nailing.

Li Guoqing remained silent.

Fang Zhuo smiled slightly, and said calmly, "Not even a dime."

Yu Yu said angrily: "You!"

"If Qingzi doesn't admit it, even if I go to the media to ask Ma Dian and them, and you don't admit it, then the shares will be reserved for you to go public. I also want to see if Dangdang can get 6600 million U.S. dollars when it goes public." Fang Zhuo said indifferently.

Can Dangdang get to the point where it goes public?
Judging from the current situation, both Li Guoqing and Yu Yu have this confidence.

As for whether the 18% stake is worth $6600 million?
They also have confidence.

Fang Zhuo continued: "I heard that Alibaba is going to go public next year. You guys should go public in 08, too. At worst, I'll wait another year or two. In the past two years, you should develop Dangdang well and let me sell it at that time." It's a good price."

08 is just around the corner, Keiko!Mr. Yu!Adam!Take your chance!

Yu Yu felt that huge sense of nausea again, what is going on with the fruit being shared by competitors!

She gritted her teeth, and finally gave in a step: "I will discuss it with Li Guoqing again. Even if we want to buy it, we need to find a third party. How can it be possible if you ask us to pay now?"

Fang Zhuo could understand this, and said lightly, "Not even a dime."

He motioned to the secretary to pick up the shareholding documents on the table, feeling that Qingzi and Mr. Yu had no intention of shaking hands with him, and nodded to Lei Jun who had watched the excitement: "Mr. Lei, come to Shanghai to play when you have time, let's go." .”

Lei Jun shook hands with Mr. Fang, and saw him leaving the office with a group of people in a hurry.

Dangdang's president's office was suddenly left with only three deserted people.

Lei Jun suddenly felt embarrassed.

He waited for Ai Ai's farewell and said: "Mr. Li, Mr. Yu, talk to you, thank you Mr. Li for your guidance today, and treat you to dinner another day."

When Lei Jun said this, he felt like he was being sarcastic, but he couldn't think of a better way to say it.

Fortunately, the couple who were glaring again didn't have time to be polite.

Lei Jun walked out of the office, took two breaths, let go of his toes, and took two steps. He was surprised to find that Dangdang's working atmosphere was not too affected.

He seemed to have no intention of asking a director: "Aren't you wondering what Mr. Fang is doing here?"

"What can Mr. Fang do? It's nothing more than a matter of shares. There is no need to bring a group of people here." The director said indifferently.

Lei Jun suddenly felt the difference in style. Mr. Fang barged in so viciously, and everyone in Dangdang didn't feel uncomfortable, and the threshold here has been raised...

If they had changed themselves, they might just be arguing loudly, and they were still pointing and pointing.

This kind of treatment is really...enviable!
