As soon as Li Dong dodged, Hsu Shengzhe appeared out of nowhere and laughed as if he was watching a joke. "Master Dong, did something happen?"
Li Dong glanced at him and said angrily, "Go away. I get bored just looking at you."
"Taking it out on you, I understand."
Hsu Shengzhe smiled and said, "Why don't I teach you a few moves? I'm good at this …"
"Yue Qin!"
Li Dong shouted and said with a smile, "You heard what your Old Xu said, right? He's good at this. It seems like it's not the first time."
Hsu Shengzhe sneered and said, "Who are you trying to scare? Yue Qin and Ji Lanxin went to see celebrities. I'm serious. I'm really good at this. I'll teach you a few moves. Make sure you use them well."
"Yue Qin, you don't care about this?" Li Dong was a little surprised. "Did he really subdue you?"
Bai Yue Qin, who was standing behind Hsu Shengzhe, said with a smile, "Li Dong, just let him continue. I want to hear what other moves he has."
Hsu Shengzhe's face was a little stiff. Damn it, you're not joking!
Turning his head stiffly, Hsu Shengzhe laughed dryly and said, "Yue Qin, I'm just joking with Li Dong. You know me well. I'm not that kind of person."
"Of course I believe you." Bai Yue Qin smiled happily and said indifferently, "From tomorrow onwards, you bring the child to work. Remember to feed and change diapers on time every day. You can do whatever you want."
Hsu Shengzhe's face turned green. You call that casual?
I might as well not go to the office with the child. Just feeding and changing diapers is enough to keep me busy for a day.
Bai Yue Qin ignored him. She took her bag from Hsu Shengzhe and walked into the place where the celebrities were gathered.
Li Dong's face was filled with schadenfreude. He said proudly, "Continue to mock me. In the future, just be a good nanny."
"I'd love to!"
Hsu Shengzhe snorted and changed the topic, "Did you help me or not? There's still no news from the Entrepreneur Club. I, Hsu Shengzhe, am a rare young talent in the business world. Could it be that you're jealous of me and are deliberately causing trouble? "
"Scram! The Entrepreneur Club's vetting is stricter, and you're still inexperienced. Go ahead and have a chat with them first. After some time, it won't be a problem for him to join the club. "
Although the Jiangbei Merchants were famous, that was only in general.
In fact, local enterprises in Jiangbei are still very weak in Hua Xia.
Other than Li Dong, there were not many local enterprises in Jiangbei that were famous in the country.
Of course, those state-owned enterprises were excluded. Masteel was not counted in the Jiangbei business group.
By introducing Hsu Shengzhe to these associations, Li Dong was also trying to expand the influence of Jiangbei Merchants in Hua Xia.
Li Dong was even prepared to take over the position of the President of Jiangbei Merchants. Although it was only a title, he would be the leader of Jiangbei Merchants in the future.
This was the reality of society. If you don't form cliques, others will.
People like Liu Chuanzhi could not avoid being suspected and joined all kinds of associations.
Ma Yun was even more so. Joining the Jiangnan Group was not enough. The purpose of establishing the Jiangnan Group was to unify the power of the Zhejiang merchants.
Li Dong also had some foundation now. If he could unify the power of Jiangbei Merchants, he would be able to have a place in the country. Not only in terms of money and reputation, but also in terms of influence.
For example, Shi Dazhu, BYD's Wang Chuanfu, Suning's Zhang Jindong …
Since these people were from Jiangbei, and Li Dong was the leader of Jiangbei Merchants, Li Dong had to give him some face in the future.
After chatting for a while, the Charity Banquet was about to start.
Li Dong glanced at Qin Yuhan and the rest. There was no one there.
When he was about to look around, someone appeared beside him.
Shen Qian smiled and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing." Li Dong smiled and asked softly, "Where is your mother?"
"She is not with us. She is at the back …" Shen Qian paused and added, "She is with Qin Yuhan."
"Ahem!"
Li Dong turned his head to take a look. Sure enough, the two of them were sitting together.
Li Dong was troubled. He continued to ask softly, "What are you two doing?"
Shen Qian's expression did not change. "What are you two making a fuss about? What can we make a fuss about? As for you, I was about to look for you, but I did not see you. Now that I met your classmate, why don't you have a few words? "
Li Dong said, "I'm busy."
"Yeah, you are busy chatting with Hsu Shengzhe. He has a wife and kids. Why are you butting in?"
"What are you talking about? I can't just not chat with him because he has a wife and kids. Look at these businessmen. Which one of them doesn't have a wife and kids?"
"You don't."
"…"
Li Dong was speechless. After a while, he said, "Don't tease me. Let's have eight or ten kids later."
Shen Qian rolled her eyes and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense. The camera is coming. It's a live broadcast!"
Upon hearing that, Li Dong immediately sat upright and still, looking like he was listening attentively.
…
On the stage.
The promotional video began to play on the big screen.
The main scene was the scene of the previous earthquake. The tragic scenes caused the noisy hall to gradually quiet down.
One hundred celebrities began to go on stage one by one.
A sad melody slowly sounded.
The hall was filled with people's singing.
"When the wind and rain wet the wings of dreams. When the rainbow has not yet shone on your face. Stretch out your hand, it represents the warmth you want. Believe in love, there will be infinite hope … "
The charity night opened with a chorus of stars singing "Believe in Love."
The East Star Charity Night was not much different from ordinary charity nights, but it had made some changes.
There were three main processes: celebrity benefit performances, charity auctions, and live fundraising.
However, there were still some differences this time around with East Star. One performance, one sale, and one live fundraising were interspersed, instead of three separate processes.
In this way, it would be easier to raise more money.
All the celebrities quickly finished singing the song. Jiangbei's most famous host and a few East Star contracted stars went on stage at the same time to be the hosts.
This was also one of East Star's goals. They wanted to use this opportunity to promote their own artists.
Sometimes, charity and benefits did not conflict.
Few people would do things that did not benefit them. If this charity night had no benefits for East Star and Far away, and if it did not benefit these celebrities at all, how many people would come?
After the celebrities returned to their positions, the host picked up the microphone and said loudly, "Good evening, everyone. Welcome to East Star Charity Night! Tonight, the stars are shining brightly! Tonight, more than 100 of the most outstanding artists in the Chinese entertainment circle have gathered here! Tonight, more than 300 business leaders, cultural celebrities, and social celebrities have come here! Everyone is here for love, and will move forward for love … "
The host spoke for a while and briefly introduced the rules.
He then emphasized that tonight's auction items were donated by celebrities and social celebrities for free. There were hundreds of auction items.
After every celebrity benefit performance, ten auction items would be auctioned.
The celebrities who performed the benefit performance would act as auctioneers and decide the winner of tonight's auction and the celebrity who raised the most money.
For this reason, the celebrities on the scene were eager to try.
This was a good opportunity to show their faces and communicate with the business giants on the scene.
After the host finished speaking, the first program began.
The artists under East Star took the lead.
Yang Si took the lead, and there were more than ten others, almost all of them female celebrities.
Li Dong saw Yang Xin, Zhao Liying, and Sun Li, who had been signed for "Empresses in the Palace" …
Among some of the old people, there were some newcomers.
East Star's goal was to use the old to lead the new and let these newcomers stand out.
The music began to play slowly.
At this time, Hu Xiaorui came over and said to Li Dong in a low voice, "You'll have to help later. The most money raised tonight will be from our East Star's artists."
Li Dong raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It's hard to say if the first group appears. Unless everyone else is pressuring them, but that's not my goal. You should put them at the end. "
Hu Xiaorui said helplessly, "I'm not sure if they'll be the last. There are too many artists here tonight, including many kings and queens. They won't be convinced if we let them be the last."
"Try your best. If you can't do it, then forget it. Although there are many goals this time, the more the better."
Hu Xiaorui responded and looked at Shen Qian next to her. She smiled and said, "Sister Shen, don't sit here. We are the organizers, and we have to entertain the guests later. It's not appropriate for you to sit here, right?"
Shen Qian rolled her eyes at her. Stupid girl, you know how to make an army out of me.
But what Hu Xiaorui said was right. There were so many guests on the stage, and the people on the stage were performing. She should also entertain them.
Shen Qian said goodbye to Li Dong and left with Hu Xiaorui.
As soon as she left, Hsu Shengzhe ran over and said to Li Dong, "Li Dong, I didn't know that East Star's female stars are of high quality. Introduce some to me?"
Li Dong's face darkened and he said in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense. You have to pay more tonight! Also, in the first round, you have to raise the price as much as you can. East Star wants to win first place in the celebrity group, and I want to win the highest bid. "
"Damn, it's rigged!"
"Are you doing it or not?"
"Yes!"
Hsu Shengzhe quickly nodded and said with a smile, "I like this kind of thing the most. It's not a problem to be a pawn, but I have to think about paying more."
Li Dong ignored him. At this time, Yang Si and the others had finished singing.
As soon as they finished singing, the staff of the venue brought up an auction item.
Yang Si opened it and looked at it. Then, the introduction of the auction item appeared on the big screen.
"Dahan Crystal Garden Penthouse, 126 square meters, owner Ma Yun, original owner Li Dong …"
In addition to this basic information, there was also the origin of this property.
When Far Away Mall just started its Instant Auction, Ma Yun won this property in a second.
It could be said that this property was more legendary, and it could be related to Ma Yun and Li Dong.
In addition to this, there was also a hint of connection.
It was from this Instant Auction that Far Away Mall became bigger and bigger, and even gradually surpassed Taobao.
Ma Yun was not too famous now. If it was a few years later, Ma Yun would also become the richest man, and the value of this property would be immeasurable.
This time, East Star contacted all the families, and Ma Yun took the initiative to auction this property.
And the first item to be auctioned off caused a lot of discussion among the crowd.
The staff brought up the property certificate and land certificate of this property.
In fact, this property was originally prepared to be auctioned at the end. East Star did cheat and put this property first.
Yang Si got the property certificate and looked at the introduction again. She was a little surprised and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a story. General Manager Li and General Manager Ma are here today. I think they should be quite emotional when they think of this property again. General Manager Ma, would you like to say a few words first? "
The staff hurriedly handed the microphone to Ma Yun.
Ma Yun took the microphone and said with a smile, "It's really emotional. The biggest emotion is that General Manager Li is going to renege on the debt and won't give me the property no matter what. I was so angry that I called him several times and said it in person a few times. In the end, General Manager Li couldn't stand it anymore and had to return the property to the original owner. However, the property is in Pingchuan, and I'm afraid that General Manager Li will take it back when I'm not here. So this time, I took it out for auction, and the money raised will be used for the construction of Wenshan Orphanage. "
Everyone quickly applauded. Yang Si said with a smile, "General Manager Li, General Manager Ma said that you are going to renege on the debt. Do you have anything to say?"
Li Dong also took the microphone and said helplessly, "Everyone, please don't take this seriously. General Manager Ma is just looking for trouble. I gave him the property a long time ago. Director Guo of Complex Star can testify. Back in Beijing, when I first met General Manager Ma, he asked me for the property. You guys should know that there were so many famous people there. I was so embarrassed. I had no choice. When I returned to Pingchuan, I went through the procedures. Director Guo witnessed the whole process. When the property certificate was given to General Manager Ma, Director Guo was also there. "
Not far away, Guo Guang smiled and said, "Don't drag me into this. I'm not going to participate. However, I'm quite interested in this property. Everyone, please don't fight with me for it."
Yang Si also smiled and said, "General Manager Ma, General Manager Li, aren't the two of you going to keep this property? It's so valuable. Ten years later, twenty years later, when you look back, whether it's Ali or Far away, you've both fought for this property. It's because of this property that the two of you have the chance to get together. It'll become another story in the business world … "
After Yang Si spoke for a while, Ma Yun smiled and said, "I'm a little hesitant now. Let me think about it."
Seeing this, Yang Si smiled and said, "Alright then. Now, the auction for this legendary property will officially begin. The starting bid is 0!"
"300,000!"
Guo Guang was the first to raise his paddle.
Yang Si quickly said, "Thank you, Director Guo. 300,000 is not a lot. The value of the property itself is only secondary. What's really important is that it has witnessed the development of Far Away and Ali. It has also witnessed the friendship between General Manager Li and General Manager Ma …"
The crowd roared with laughter. Many people whispered to each other, "Are these two friends?"
"Their brains are about to pop out, right?"
"…"
While they were talking, a young man at the side of the hall raised his paddle and shouted, "500,000!"
Everyone looked over, including Yang Si. Then, her eyes lit up and she said, "Jingdong's General Manager Liu has bid 500,000. Is this property destined to be circulated in the e-commerce industry? Perhaps in the future, we can say that this property has witnessed the ups and downs of Hua Xia's e-commerce industry, and the deep friendship between several e-commerce giants … "
Li Dong, who was below the stage, was already too tired to complain. Yang Si, you should just go do crosstalk.
Friendship? I'm just about to hammer these people to death. What friendship?
