Shenhao started as a military training anchor

Before Liu Qiangdong asked Holly for help, Holly had already responded to Liu Qiangdong.

Let him talk to the Waltons first.

This result was within Liu Qiangdong's expectations.

He was also not sure whether Holly still had enough cash to invest in JD.com.

Shunwei Capital and Tianhong Capital are now stabilizing the domestic venture capital market. The venture capital market is the foundation of the financial market. Without an active financing and investment environment and without the emergence of unicorn companies, the stock market will lose its vitality.

Tens of thousands of investment projects need transfusions, and with a market size of 1.7 trillion, the problem cannot be solved with just a little money.

With such a huge hole to fill, it is a miracle that Hawley can drag it out intact until the financial war ends and the market recovers.

Of course, as long as he holds on, the returns Holly will get are self-evident.

Shunwei Capital's assets will continue to expand.

Liu Qiangdong also knew that Holly had invested more than 100 billion yuan in cash into Caihai Bank, a joint-stock private bank.

Coupled with the needs of running his own huge business empire, Liu Qiangdong guessed that Holly might not have so much cash on him.

In fact, he still underestimated Holly's financial resources. Holly could fill the hole of more than 30 billion yuan in JD.com with just a wave of his hand.

The cash strength of the Chinese consortium leaders is beyond the imagination of others.

Holly was pointing at Liu Qiangdong.

Or it could be a reminder to Liu Qiangdong that JD.com has reached this stage, and if he doesn't come out to coordinate the overall situation, it would be a waste of money to give JD.com.

Even Jack Ma knew that Zhang Yong couldn't handle it anymore, so he took the initiative to invite Joseph Tsai back.

Do you, Liu Qiangdong, have someone like Joseph Tsai around you?
Obviously not.

Brother Huo recognizes you, Dadongzi, not JD.com.

In fact, when investors reach a certain level, they rarely look at business plans or projects. What they look at is you as a person.

Therefore, in the capital market, entrepreneurs who start a business for the second time or multiple times are more likely to obtain financing.

First, it accumulates personal connections.

Second, your abilities have been tested by the market.

Obviously, Liu Qiangdong's ability and courage are unquestionable.

However, Liu Qiangdong did not understand the profound meaning of Holly's words.

He poured wine for Holly respectfully and said, "Mr. Huo is right. JD.com and Walmart have been together for eight years. Even if they want to break up, they should do it in a decent manner.

I'll talk to Jim Walton again."

Jim Walton is the third son of Walmart founder Sam Walton and is now the CEO of Walmart Group.

Walmart's plan to sell off a large number of JD.com shares is obviously the intention of the top management.

This Jim Walton may not be as easy to talk to as his second son, Robertson Walton.

Former CEO Robertson Walton and Liu Qiangdong have a good personal relationship. It is also under the planning and management of the two that Walmart and JD.com have been in a honeymoon period.

But he stepped down this year and quit the board of directors.

Jim Walton set his sights on the Chinese market as soon as he took office, and Liu Qiangdong probably won't be treated well by them.

Holly raised his glass and clinked glasses with Liu Qiangdong.

After drinking, we didn't talk about work anymore.

After sitting and chatting for a while, Holly left Liu Qiangdong's house.

"Did Mr. Huo agree?"

Zhang Zetian walked down and held Liu Qiangdong's shoulder with concern.

Liu Qiangdong shook his head, "I guess Mr. Huo doesn't have much cash left.

Otherwise, given his style of doing things, he would not just ignore it.

I was one of the first people to stand up and support him as a leader of Chinese entrepreneurs.”

Zhang Zetian nodded: "I think I can help you get some."

Liu Qiangdong smiled and said, "It's no problem, don't worry.

I went to the United States to talk to the Walton family.

If the negotiations fail, we will look for new investors.

Things will work out.”

Zhang Zetian nodded.

……

The next evening, Liu Qiangdong took a private plane to the United States.

We landed during the daytime working hours there. Without any rest, we took the team to negotiate with Jim Walton.

Jim Walton gave Liu Qiangdong two options. One was to use cash to buy back the shares at a high price.

The second is to exchange it for JD Logistics.

JD Logistics Group is an independently spun-off and listed company with a Hong Kong stock market value of over 600 billion.

Walmart's stake in JD.com is worth nearly $300 billion.

Calculate according to this ratio.

Walmart Group is preparing to take full control of JD Logistics Group.

JD Logistics holds an extremely important position in Liu Qiangdong's heart, and it can even be said to be the life of JD.

In order to build a warehousing and logistics system, he even gave up online payment, which was at the forefront of the trend, and chose to cooperate with WeChat.

It can be said that today’s JD Logistics was achieved at the expense of JD Finance.

Jim Walton forced him to sell his shares in JD Logistics, which was an attempt on his life.

However, if Walmart sells JD.com's shares, JD.com will directly lose the market value of a logistics group.

Both choices were pushing him off a cliff.

After several rounds of negotiations, Liu Qiangdong truly understood the character of the new president.

It's completely useless to talk to him about feelings and emotions.

It definitely benefits the capitalists.

They want to take advantage of the financial war and take advantage of the situation.

JD.com’s logistics and warehousing system is a perfect match for Walmart.

Once Walmart takes control of JD Logistics, it will be even more powerful.

It is estimated that a new round of expansion will begin.

Yonghui, Hema, Wumart, Century Hualian...the market share of these local supermarkets will be severely squeezed.

Walmart China now needs a strong shot to boost revenue.

JD Logistics Group was regarded as this strong shot by Jim Walton.

Liu Qiangdong negotiated in the United States for half a month and did not sleep well for a single day.

He realized that this was just the beginning and it would be like this every day.

Walmart’s path is not feasible, so it just needs to find new capital investment.

But he knows in his heart that all the capital on Wall Street now has its mouth wide open, waiting for you to feed high-quality assets into their mouths.

Before the final round of negotiations, Liu Qiangdong still hadn't found a suitable investor.

But when he sat at the negotiating table, he still maintained the courage and wisdom of a group manager.

After the two sides reached an unsuccessful conclusion in their talks, Jim Walton made the final decision to sell JD.com shares.

The company will then use the 20 to 30 billion shares sold to improve Walmart’s supply chain and warehousing and logistics systems in the Chinese market.

It's a complete break-up.

In the evening, after Liu Qiangdong thought about it again and again in the hotel, he decided to change his leader.

The only way I could think of to stabilize the situation was to do it myself.

If he personally comes out and takes back the power, investors will be optimistic about JD.com's stock.

It can reduce the huge losses caused by Walmart's sale of JD.com shares.

However, the combined losses of tens of billions of dollars from U.S. and Hong Kong stocks are certain.

All we can say is that while stabilizing investor confidence, JD.com's stock price has rebounded, ensuring overall stability.

In the early hours of Monday morning, JD.com Group issued an external announcement.

In addition to the third quarter financial report, there is one more important piece of information: Liu Qiangdong took over as CEO of JD.com Group.

This is his return to the front line to take charge of the overall situation after six years of retreating behind the scenes.

As soon as this news came out, the entire e-commerce industry, Internet circle, and financial circle exploded.

Holly smiled at the news.

This is the attitude he wants.

I also guessed how dejected Liu Qiangdong looked after the failed negotiations in the United States this time.

I really couldn't find any other solution, so I forced myself to go back to the front line to stabilize the situation.

Obviously, his return has greatly enhanced the confidence of investors and the cohesion of JD.com's hundreds of thousands of employees.

Now that the younger brother has shown his attitude, it’s time for the older brother to take action.

Holly made a phone call to Hong Kong City to inform the trustee of Holly's family trust that the money was ready and that he had accepted all the JD.com shares offered by Walmart. (End of this chapter)
