My Life Can Hang

Chen Dongcheng's foundation for Cao Cao's Suda was far more solid than that of Dada in the same period.

"Chen Dong, do you think we should publish the news of Walmart's investment in us?"

Lu Guangyu couldn't wait to announce the news to the company's employees to boost his morale.

"It can be announced, anyway, sooner or later, the outside world has to know."

Chen Dongcheng nodded with a smile and patted Lu Guangyu on the shoulder: "Get ready for the docking, maybe after Walmart, another heavyweight supermarket will join us."

"Heavyweight supermarket?"

Lu Guangyu was stunned for a moment, then watched Chen Dongcheng get into the car and leave.

He knew that the boss had liquidated Didi shares not long ago and raised another fund, which was the time when the money was the most abundant.

Even the original high-profile magnesium group has been a little cowardly recently.

Subsidize sneakily and dare not stimulate Chen Dongcheng.

Since the boss didn't say it, it will be known sooner or later, so there is no need to be so impatient.

At this time, Mr. Chen had already dispatched elite soldiers to conduct the first wave of contact.

The contact object is the very famous Carrefour in China.

Similar to Wal-Mart, Carrefour's performance in China is also very mediocre, and even suffered serious losses.

In 2016, Carrefour handed over a loss of 3000 million euros.

It really made the senior management of the French headquarters angry, and then panic.

The competition between supermarkets and supermarkets has become more and more fierce, and the entry of many e-commerce companies has made the days of these traditional stores even more difficult.

Halfway through this year, Carrefour's performance has not improved at all, but has been declining.

It is expected that the loss will reach 12 billion this year, and it is even more unrealistic to expect blood transfusions from the French parent company.

The performance of the Carrefour Group is also deteriorating, and the only way out for Carrefour is to survive with a broken arm.

Chen Dongcheng is determined to win Carrefour Huaxia.

Carrefour has more than 200 stores, which is a very considerable business volume for Cao Cao Suda.

chapter 400. 399

Pinzun International Center.

Block A.

Li Changqing and the others, who had called the front station in advance, had been waiting for the big boss downstairs.

Carrefour headquarters is very interested in Li Changqing's acquisition plan.

Global President Bloomberg Hua personally rushed to Modu to meet with Chen Dongcheng to discuss specific acquisition matters.

The Mercedes-Benz team came from a distance, and the Rolls-Royce in the middle was still very conspicuous.

Li Changqing waited for the car to stop, quickly stepped forward, and opened the door.

"Boss, Carrefour's Bloomberg has arrived."

"Let's go, don't make people wait too long."

Chen Dongcheng lowered his head to pick up the folds of his clothes, and walked forward with his head held high.

Li Changqing and other members of the think tank followed behind the boss.

More than a dozen people dressed in suits and leather shoes walked into the building together, causing many white-collar workers who came and went to look at them frequently.

Chen Dongcheng is wearing sunglasses, but he doesn't have to worry about being recognized.

However, the posture of walking has a domineering domineering that cannot be approached.

A group of them happened to fill an elevator.

Pang Zhengyang and his group of bodyguards surrounded Chen Dongcheng in the middle and looked around vigilantly.

"Ding."

The elevator sounded, the 18th floor arrived.

Carrefour Huaxia headquarters is located on this floor.

Walking out of the elevator, I saw the logo of Carrefour within a few steps.

Seeing so many people, the girl at the front desk calmly came to intercept them.

"Hello, do you have an appointment?"

Li Changqing came forward and replied, "We are from Donghua Fund and have an appointment with Mr. Peng."

"Oh, okay, please come with me."

The secretary immediately remembered what the upper management had told him to do, and his demeanor achieved full marks.

Showing a white-toothed smile, he bowed to lead the way.

In the conference room, Carrefour's executives didn't look good.

In particular, several executives in the original Huaxia District were even more worried.

Since 2009, Carrefour's performance in China has begun to decline, and it has fallen by about 10% every year.

Until now, Carrefour's performance has shown no signs of improving.

It would be weird if those Europeans didn't have the idea of ​​selling the Huaxia business.

In 2013, Carrefour was determined to sell its business in China.

As a result, the asking price was too high, no one came to join in, and it was a joke.

The online channel was opened too late, and the damage to Carrefour can be said to be fatal.

At this time, the online channels have already decided the ranking, and Carrefour has just begun to explore.

At this speed, it is a strange thing not to be eliminated by the times.

Of course, the French executives at Carrefour can't be completely blamed.

Their original offline channels in Europe are already very convenient.

Several other competitors are not eager to promote online channels, so they have been hesitant.

When it comes to mobile payment, Huaxia has never accepted anyone.

The two horses have clearly educated the Chinese people.

From an [-]-year-old man to a child of a few years old, they all know how to pay by scanning a QR code and give out red envelopes to grab red envelopes.

Therefore, the French executives of Carrefour are quite uncomfortable with the rapid development of online channels in China.

Coupled with the fast financing speed of these online platforms, they were stunned, and they didn't even have the confidence to compete with others to burn money.

"Dong dong."

The girl at the front desk knocked on the door, walked in and said, "The people from Donghua Fund have arrived."

Bloomberg got up first, followed by Tang Jianian, president of Huaxia, and other executives also got up.

Chen Dongcheng took off his sunglasses, smiled and nodded to the crowd one after another, and took the people on his side to the seat.

Bloomberg Hua is the global president of Carrefour, and his opinion is more important whether this transaction can be successful.

Tang Jianian is the president of Huaxia, and he is more concerned about this transaction than Bloomberg.

Once the transaction is successful, Chen Dongcheng's opinion on him is very important.

For this cooperation, Carrefour headquarters has great sincerity.

They are eager to divest the business of Huaxia District, make the overall financial report of the group more attractive, and boost the confidence of investors.

Carrefour's market value has been declining in recent years, largely due to the sluggish performance of Huaxia District and several other regions.

"Mr. Chen, we have discussed with Mr. Li many times before. In terms of price, our bottom line is 15 billion US dollars."

Bloomberg will not go into battle in person. Tang Jianian, the president of Huaxia, is responsible for bargaining with Chen Dongcheng and the others.

Li Changqing retorted unceremoniously: "Mr. Tang is too simple, I have a document in my hand.

Since 09, Carrefour's performance has been declining year after year, and it has been slow to improve.

Carrefour's influence in China is declining.

If your group is still waiting with unrealistic hopes, I don't think the result will be what you expected. "

Tang Jianian took a peek at Bloomberg and found that his boss was not angry, so he was relieved.

After all, the Carrefour China region has declined so seriously, and he, the president of China region, is the most responsible.

Tang Jianian asked, "Then how much are you going to ask?"

Li Changqing said with a smile: "60 billion, this is the highest price given in combination with Carrefour's debt situation."

"This is impossible. We have rejected this offer before. I don't think there is any sincerity in your offer."

Tang Jianian shook his head and refused without hesitation.

If you want to buy the business of Carrefour Huaxia District for 60 billion, what is the difference between that and dreaming?

Li Changqing's smile remained unchanged: "Mr. Tang, don't rush to refuse, I have ample reasons to prove that our offer is reasonable."

Tang Jianian sneered: "Okay, I would like to hear what Mr. Li has to say."

After Li Changqing sorted out his thoughts, he said, "We don't think Carrefour's asset quality is very good. Mr. Tang doesn't have to rush to deny this. I will tell you slowly and carefully."

Tang Jianian moved his lips and continued to listen with a sneer.

"First of all, Carrefour's total assets are 115 billion yuan, but its total liabilities are as high as 138 billion yuan, which is insolvent."

"You underestimated the value of our free property."

Tang Jianian pouted: "And, if it weren't for this, we wouldn't choose to sell it. This is not the reason why your offer is so low."
