The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 638
After receiving Li Weidong's signal, Chen Jun refilled Li Weidong's teacup with hot water before going out. Li Weidong sat on the sofa and casually flipped through the newspapers of the day.

Chen Gu and Xiao Jihui were waiting in the waiting room outside. Not long after Chen Jun went out, they followed Chen Jun in and saw Li Weidong sitting on the sofa, tapping on Erlang's legs, with a newspaper in his hand.

The two came over with smiles, and Chen Guxian said: "Chairman, I'm busy!"

Based on the two of them's understanding of Li Weidong, sitting on the sofa and sitting on the office chair behind the desk are two different mentalities, which only happen when Li Weidong thinks it is more casual.

"Yes, I'm busy, busy reading newspapers and drinking tea!" Li Weidong raised the newspaper in his hand, and then put it on the table.

Chen Gu didn't feel embarrassed at all, he seemed casual but cautiously sat on the sofa diagonally opposite Li Weidong, and Xiao Jihui sat beside him in the same way.

After Xiao Jihui sat down, he smiled and complimented: "I remember when I first followed you, you said that if you do business in China, if you don't read newspapers and don't grasp the policy orientation, you will definitely not be able to do business well. You also said that you can make a lot of money. Opportunities are in the newspapers, let us read more newspapers!"

"Since then, I have insisted on reading newspapers every day. I have subscribed to a lot of newspapers, but I am a bit dull and I haven't found any ways to make money, but I have avoided many pitfalls!"

"Of course, you can sell oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar at your level. You are a needle and thread brain, and you want to learn from our chairman. I think you should stop cooking as soon as possible and save yourself!" Chen Gu looked at Xiao Jihui and said jokingly, but in fact Still compliment Li Weidong.

Chen Jun smiled and poured a cup of tea for each of them and put them on the table. The two bosses smiled politely at him, but they still didn't stop talking.

"President Chen is right. As for the chairman, I can only do my best. But we sell oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, needles, needles and brains, and we sell nearly billion a year. This year may be more than that!" Xiao Jihui said immodestly. Said.

"What do you mean?" Chen Gu is a little unfamiliar with this word, but he also knows that it is flattering, and then said: "To the chairman, you have to be all-hearted!"

"Mr. Chen, let me explain to you, Jing Xingxingzhi means...!" Xiao Jihui explained.

Chen Jun hadn't left yet, watching the two big bosses with hundreds of millions of dollars playing tricks here, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, probably this scene is really not easy to see outside.

Li Weidong interrupted Xiao Jihui's words by shaking his head, and then said: "Don't be poor, why did you two meet together, you have something to talk about!"

Chen Gu said first: "Chairman, this is the case. Years ago, I reported to you that this year we will increase investment in commercial real estate and shopping malls!"

"At the end of the year, I discussed with Lao Xiao and said that we should cooperate. We will build a shopping mall and leave him a place to open a supermarket after it is completed!"

"Old Xiao also agreed. In the past six months, his Wanjia shopping mall has also cooperated with several shopping plazas we originally built. It can be said that he has made a lot of money, but who knows that this person is not satisfied, and... !"

Xiao Jihui retorted: "Mr. Chen, you can't say that. I have learned that since our Wanjia shopping mall moved into New World Plaza, your traffic has increased compared to before. It is said that this year's rent will go up by several points. Can it grow a lot?"

"Then you can't take our shares?" Chen Gu was hit. Judging from the several shopping malls he has cooperated with so far, the turnover has indeed increased.

"I don't want your shares. This is a cooperation. We pay for it, and we don't take too much. 15% of the shares, that's giving you money!" Xiao Jihui explained.

"It sounds good, I think you just don't want to pay the rent, and you want to get some money back. You are indeed a planner, and you are very shrewd!" Chen Gu said, Xiao Jihui worked in a state-owned department store for more than ten years, and it is true Using the abacus to settle accounts, what Chen Gu said is correct.

Of course, this is indeed Xiao Jihui's idea, and there are some misunderstandings, but we are brother companies, with the same major shareholder, and if we cooperate, it will be good for everyone to make money if they have money, why should they be so clearly divided.

In fact, the main reason is that Xiao Jihui researched the business model of the shopping mall and found a big problem. The payback speed is very fast. According to current estimates, some projects can pay back the cost within six to seven years after completion.

But he has to pay the rent every year, and the rent will go up and get higher and higher year by year with the economic development. Such a comparison shows a gap.

He thought, since you are engaged in commercial real estate, you still need bank loans, and you are still taking risks, why not cooperate with us, if you engage in shopping malls, I will invest, and the income should not be too high, as long as it is about the same as the rent.

In this way, it means that he paid the rent for several years at once, and it can also increase the company's assets. The financial statements are not bad, and the cost will be recovered after a few years. Isn't it equivalent to renting for free.

He wanted to cooperate, but Chen Gu was unwilling. Of course, the most important thing was that Ansha Real Estate was not short of cash flow, and the bank was willing to give them loans. Naturally, he didn't want to agree for long-term benefits.

The two talked several times, but they couldn't talk together, and in the end it was nothing. Today, the conversation was rushing, and the two clashed, and they inevitably said a few more words in front of Li Weidong. Of course, Li Weidong gave them more or less. Break the meaning of the lawsuit.

Both of them are veterans of the company, with a lot of experience and a lot of business. The business department of the company has very delicate restraints on them, let alone make this decision for them.

The attitude of the business department is very clear. As long as you two have reached an agreement, you can handle it yourself. It is best not to involve us. We will look at your financial situation and business situation.

Of course, Xiao Jihui and Chen Gu didn't expect their so-called higher-level departments to give them a platform. First, the business department didn't have that prestige. Second, the two of them didn't care too much.

Li Weidong looked at the two people and asked suspiciously: "You two came here for this?"

The two shook their heads at the same time, then glanced at each other, and said in unison: "It's a coincidence!"

Li Weidong nodded. If this was the case, he could ask the secretary to kick him out. Li Weidong would be happy to accompany him for a chat, but talking about such a trivial matter is no good.

Xiao Jihui made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "Chairman Chen's matter is more important, Chairman Chen will report first?"

Chen Gu rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "The elders come first, Chairman Xiao should speak first!"

Xiao Jihui smiled, and said politely: "There are priorities, how can we judge by age!"

Li Weidong didn't speak. He picked up the newspaper on the table and continued to read. There was really good news on it. The report said that the capital had successfully advanced and was one of the five cities qualified to bid for the 08 Summer Olympics. It was another step forward in its bid.

The comments are all positive, saying that China will win!
Li Weidong believes in this, not because he knows, but because this kind of international competition relies on influence and balance.

Such a big country has never hosted the Olympic Games. Does it make sense? How does the Olympic Committee expand its influence in China? Even if it is China's turn, it is China's turn.

And ten years ago, the capital narrowly lost to Sydney by a few votes. Although it was not convinced, the blow was still quite big. This time, it must be done well. If it is not successful, the impact will be too bad.

Xiao Jihui saw the headline of the newspaper that Li Weidong put on the table just now, and he happened to see this newspaper when he was in the lounge just now, so he naturally knew what Li Weidong was reading.

At this time, Xiao Jihui saw that Li Weidong ignored their humility, so he said: "Our bid to host the Olympics this time should be almost the same!"

"It is necessary. Now the capital real estate company is gearing up and preparing to do a big job. Now it is taking the land. Once the news of the successful bid next year comes out, the land price will definitely increase a lot!" Chen Gu said vigorously.

Chen Gu never leaves his line of business, and his company is about to receive a large sum of money, so he is somewhat proud.

The listing application of Anxia Real Estate has been processed by multiple parties, and it has been approved at the meeting. Under normal circumstances, the approval can be obtained within one month, and it can basically be listed in another month.

That is to say, within two months, after a preparation period of nearly ten months, the company will go public, and the funds raised will go to the company's account for them to acquire land to expand their business.

He came here today to tell Li Weidong the good news. Of course, Li Weidong was not here for this matter, but he didn't expect that before he came again, the insider told him that it would be passed later.

Then Chen Gu was no longer modest with Xiao Jihui, and directly told Li Weidong about the matter, "Chairman, according to the internal news, the IPO of our Ansha Real Estate has passed the meeting, and it will be announced in about two days!"

After Li Weidong listened to it, he put the newspaper on the tea table again. Sure enough, the content in the newspaper was about bidding for the Olympics.

For Li Weidong, the listing of the company should be regarded as a happy event, but this matter is not too much surprise for him, it is just that there is an additional listed company under his name.

"The speed is very fast, which is a good thing!" Li Weidong nodded and said with a smile on his face.

Eight months from the start of the preparation to the meeting, for the regulatory authorities, the efficiency is already very high. Under normal circumstances, it would take about a year, or even several years.

"Our financial data and operating conditions over the past few years are very formal, and President Yu of Wanguo Securities is very caring. He joined hands with Shenyin Securities to act as our sponsor and sent a very professional team."

"The prospectus is perfect, basically there is no need to modify it, saving a lot of unnecessary back and forth revision time!"

"Of course it's mainly because of your face. If you weren't here, they would definitely be picky and seek trouble everywhere!" Chen Gu complimented with a smile.

Regardless of the size of the companies Li Weidong invests in, their financial data are very formal. Even if they are not listed companies, they will be audited by professional accounting firms every quarter.

Usually it is only for the company to check the accounts and supervise the operation status, but it will be reflected when it is listed. Even if it is another audit company, there is nothing wrong with it. Some data can be used directly.

As for other aspects of corporate governance and internal control, they have been carried out according to the requirements of the company, so this has greatly shortened the counseling period.

In addition, the major shareholder is Xinsheng Holdings, and the joint sponsor company is the largest securities company in China. Various opportunities and relationships interact with each other, and it is difficult to think about it quickly.

"According to the preliminary estimates of Wanguo and Shenyin, the price of this issuance of shares will be between 16 and 20. It is conservatively estimated that the funds raised will be at least 60 million. The market value of the company after the issuance will be around billion. Of course, the final price It's up to you to decide!" Chen Gu said excitedly.

He is also the major shareholder of the company, owning 13% of the company's shares. Even if his shares are diluted by the issuance of new shares, his net worth will be over to million after listing.

Thinking about this, Chen Gu was excited, and he was also thankful for the wise move of finding Li Weidong to strike up a conversation with and start a business. Otherwise, how could he have the status he is today, and who knows Chen Gu!
Listening to it, Xiao Jihui was even more emotional. In the past few years, the country has been developing and vigorously developing the real estate industry to drive economic growth. Therefore, real estate companies have an advantage in listing, and a little effort is enough.

However, he did not have such luck in the department store retail industry. The country loosened restrictions on department store retail, and foreign super giants invaded aggressively, fighting price wars everywhere. It's too difficult, the best way is to backdoor.

At this time, there happened to be a more suitable one. The main purpose of his coming to Li Weidong this time was this. Who would have thought that Anxia Real Estate was approved for listing at this time. If he had known earlier, he would have told Li Weidong earlier.

Otherwise, a serious listing will directly raise funds into the company's account to supplement the company's cash flow; a backdoor listing will require a large amount of cash to purchase shell resources.

One puts money in, the other spends money, and if you compete with each other, you will probably be ridiculed by Chen Gu again. However, if Xiao Jihui wants to go public, he can't miss this opportunity.

When Li Weidong heard that Wanguo and Shenyin were two securities companies working together as sponsors for Anxia Real Estate, he always felt like he was acting. In his previous life, these two companies are now one, and Shenyin and Wanguo are also famous.

It’s just that the possibility of merging these two companies again in this life is probably not very high. Even if there is a merger, the name should be Wanguo Shenyin.

Joint sponsorship is also a helpless move. The actual controller of Wanguo Securities is Li Weidong, and the actual controller of Anxia Real Estate is also Li Weidong. According to the requirements of the regulatory authorities, an unrelated sponsor must be jointly sponsored. Naturally, Wanguo has to choose a suitable one. Yes, the first securities company established in China became the partner of cooperation.

"Listen to them, Yu Yuan is a professional, and will definitely give you a reasonable price, so I won't ask!" Li Weidong said with a smile, holding up his teacup.

"How can we do that? You are the major shareholder of the company, and we still expect to go to Shanghai with you to beat the gong?" Chen Gu said in surprise.
