Jingdong's Liu Qiangdong was in his early 30's.
Whether it was his previous life or this life, Jingdong was not famous in 2008.
But in comparison, Jingdong was ranked third in the B2C market.
Far away was the biggest in the B2C market. Taobao's Tmall was ranked second, and Jingdong was third.
But just looking at the rankings was useless. Far Away Mall had 80% of the B2C market share, Tmall had about 10%, and Jingdong, Joyo, Dang Dang, Red Child … these B2C websites only had 10%.
Therefore, when Yang Si said that he was an e-commerce giant just now, it could be considered as lying through his teeth.
Currently, there were only two giants, Taobao and Far away.
Even Paipai Net had more transactions than Jingdong, but Paipai operated in C2C mode.
Everyone was like this. When someone raised their status, no matter what they said, they would still feel good.
Yang Si could represent Far Away Mall to a certain extent. She said e-commerce giants, which was equivalent to Far Away Mall acknowledging Jingdong's status.
Da Qiangzi was overjoyed when he heard this, but he did not show it on his face.
But actions proved everything. He had just bid 500,000, and Guo Guangzheng increased it to 600,000. Da Qiangzi did not hesitate and raised his paddle. "1 million!"
Yang Si smiled and continued to shout. "Jingdong's General Manager Liu bids 1 million. Is there a higher bid? I think there is. 1 million is just a drop in the ocean for you. There is only one such legendary property. If you miss this opportunity, there will be no next time. Chairman Xu, you are the leader of real estate in Jiangbei. Have you never thought of collecting this property? "
The camera panned to Hsu Shengzhe, and Hsu Shengzhe did not know whether to laugh or cry. Collecting a property?
Why would I collect a property?!
Now, there are too many properties in Longhua. The 2,000 properties that had been returned have not been sold, and there is a large number of properties in the new city.
However, since it was his turn to bid, and he had just promised Li Dong to raise the price, Xu Shengzhe raised his sign and smiled. "1.5 million. Let's get some inspiration from the previous two owners."
Hsu Shengzhe's bid of 1.5 million yuan, and Yang Si had specifically mentioned his name, which attracted a lot of attention.
Although the Longhua Group was not well-known in the real estate industry, its strength should not be underestimated.
Similar to Longhu Real Estate, both parties were rooted in one place and did not carry out large-scale national expansion.
However, being able to stand firm in one place did not mean that one's strength was weak.
Both Longhu and Longhua were ranked within the top 20 in the real estate industry.
There were so many real estate companies in the country, but Ren Dapao's company, Hua Yuan, was not even in the top 100. It was obvious that Longhua and Longhu had extraordinary financial resources.
In addition, Hsu Shengzhe was young and looked more handsome than Li Dong. His temperament was excellent too.
Initially, many people did not notice him. When he spoke, many of the celebrities' eyes lit up.
Unexpectedly, Jiangbei was full of young tycoons.
Some of the celebrities asked around and soon got the news. Before Li Dong appeared, the Xu family had always been the richest family in Jiangbei. Their assets were worth more than 10 billion yuan.
Now that Old Xu had retired, Hsu Shengzhe was in charge of the company.
Not long ago, Longhua started to go private. Hsu Shengzhe controlled about 80% of Longhua Group's shares. His wealth might be more than expected.
Another billionaire. Another top tycoon who was not even 30 years old!
In an instant, there were burning gazes from all directions. They wanted to swallow Hsu Shengzhe whole.
As for getting married and having children, it did not matter. They did not need to be together forever. Spending the night together was enough.
Hsu Shengzhe was already used to these gazes. He did not mind it too much.
1.5 million was not a low price.
The property market was not doing well this year. So far away, this house was worth about 500,000. There should not be a big difference.
Hsu Shengzhe had offered such a price. Moreover, he was a local tycoon in Jiangbei. Most people would not continue to fight for it if they gave him face.
A good start. If the organizer did not take it, Li Dong would not make a move. If Hsu Shengzhe made a move, many people would give him face.
Hsu Shengzhe probably thought that there was no one else fighting for it. He was about to put down his sign when someone suddenly raised it. "1.8 million!"
This time, Yang Si did not say anything. She did not expect someone to fight for it.
Everyone turned around and saw who was raising the sign. It was Wang Shi, the biggest tycoon in the real estate industry.
Wang Shi did not want to fight for it at first. Like Hsu Shengzhe, Vanke had many properties. He did not need to stand out at this time.
But when he saw Hsu Shengzhe raising his sign, Wang Shi decided to fight for it without hesitation.
A good start. Today was an opportunity for him to make a name for himself.
It did not matter if it was others who made a name for themselves. But Hsu Shengzhe was now the public enemy of the real estate industry like Li Dong!
When Longhua allowed a large number of people to check out their properties, Vanke was the first to be pushed to the heart of the struggle.
They were already in the midst of the checking out of their properties. Because of the earthquake donation, they were attacked by everyone. After that, Longhua's strategy put them in a difficult position.
These tycoons in the real estate industry hated Hsu Shengzhe.
Although Wang Shi knew that it did not matter if he was in the limelight or not, he still held back his anger.
Not only him, but all the tycoons in the real estate industry, including Wu Yajun, were also feeling uncomfortable.
It was fine if you want to stand up for yourself. But this time, Longhua was stepping on them. Who would be happy about it?
Li Dong, who did not follow the rules, appeared in Jiangbei. There was nothing they could do about it. Li Dong was too fierce. He had killed Su Guo and Carrefour, so everyone was afraid of him.
But Hsu Shengzhe, how dare you ignore the industry's unspoken rules?!
In the real estate industry, there were more than a dozen companies that were better than Longhua. No one else was doing it, and you jumped out to do it. What did you mean?
As soon as Wang Shi opened his mouth, the smell of gunpowder became a little stronger.
Some celebrities did not know what was going on. They thought it was normal competition and did not take it seriously.
But those who knew the inside story knew that these two people were going to fight it out.
Unsurprisingly, Hsu Shengzhe was just going to be a scapegoat. It did not matter if he could not win the bid. But when he heard Wang Shi's words, Hsu Shengzhe raised his paddle again. "2 million!"
Wang Shi did not say anything. Pan Shiyi, who was standing not far away, smiled and said, "2.4 million!"
Hsu Shengzhe frowned. He did not expect to poke a hornet's nest. Without hesitation, Hsu Shengzhe raised his paddle again and said, "3 million!"
"3.2 million!"
This time, it was Wu Yajun who raised the bid. She knew Hsu Shengzhe and was even prepared to work with him. But at this moment, the tycoons in the real estate industry had made it clear. No matter what, they had to let Hsu Shengzhe know of their existence.
Longhua was not the only real estate company in the real estate industry. You could not do whatever you want.
The auction did not mean anything, but it showed everyone's intentions. They wanted to suppress you!
Hsu Shengzhe knew in his heart that he had angered everyone. He also knew that he was going to get the house today!
"3.5 million!"
With 3.5 million bid, Wang Shi, Pan Shiyi, and Wu Yajun did not make another bid. They did not really want to compete, but they wanted to express their stance. Once was enough.
And if there were no accidents, there would be someone else to carry on the bidding.
As expected, Evergrande's Xu Jiayin chuckled and said, "Since everyone is joining in the fun, I'll join in the fun too. I hope I can help the children in the disaster area. 3.8 million."
"4 million!"
Hsu Shengzhe nodded at them and raised his paddle again.
At this moment, many people realized something. Everyone else had made a bid once, but Hsu Shengzhe kept bidding. It seemed like he was too persistent.
In a charity auction, it was fine as long as the price was around the same. Usually, no one would keep bidding too many times. But now, the situation had clearly changed.
When the bid of 4 million was raised, Hsu Shengzhe looked around to see who else would come forward.
The few companies in front were very powerful and could suppress him. But the representatives from the other real estate companies were either not as powerful as him, or they were not the ones in charge.
If they suppressed him now, Hsu Shengzhe might not continue to accept the challenge.
There was a moment of silence. After a while, Yang Si covered her mouth and said with a smile, "4 million. I don't think anyone will compete with CEO Xu, right? Thank you, Chairman Xu, for your contribution to charity. This legendary property belongs to Chairman Xu. "
After she finished speaking, she personally brought the property certificate to Hsu Shengzhe.
Xu Shengzhe stood up and accepted it with a smile. He casually wrote a few words of thanks.
After Yang Si left, Hsu Shengzhe lowered his voice and said, "Li Dong, you did this on purpose, right?"
Li Dong was puzzled. "What on purpose?"
"You asked me to raise the price and even asked Yang Si to call me out. Did you expect this to happen? If you didn't say anything, I don't believe that Wu Yajun would make fun of me. "
Li Dong said snappily, "What a despicable person. Why would I do such a thing? You're the one who's being hated. I've already said that you would offend someone sooner or later. It's a good thing that I didn't raise the price to tens of millions. Even if I raised it to tens of millions, you still have to take it. "
"Bullshit. If it really goes up to tens of millions, whoever wants it can take it!"
Li Dong sneered and could not be bothered with him.
However, the price of four million was considered to have set the tone for today. The auction price could not be too low.
If Li Dong appeared himself, it would be easy to be criticized.
Now that Hsu Shengzhe was competing with other real estate tycoons and raised the price to four million, it had nothing to do with Li Dong.
As the auction items were auctioned one by one, soon, the auction of ten items was over.
Among these ten items, there were valuable items like the house just now, some collectibles donated by businessmen, antiques, paintings, and some personal items of celebrities.
After the ten items were auctioned, a total of 9.8 million was raised.
This data obviously surprised many people.
This was only the first round. Today's charity auction would probably have no less than 20 rounds.
If there were so many items, the auction alone could raise about 200 million.
In addition, there would probably be a lot of on-site donations.
Compared to other charity parties, East Star Charity Night was indeed the work of the richest man.
Peeza had held several events, and the highest amount raised was a few million. It had never even reached ten million, and it was still regarded as the top charity dinner.
Now, East Star had raised nearly ten million in the first round.
At this time, whether it was the people on the scene or the onlookers who were watching the live broadcast, they could not help but sigh. The face of the richest man was really big.
If it were not for Li Dong, this situation would not have happened today.
Inviting a large number of top tycoons to participate in the charity night, it would not be right for him to be stingy.
…
After the first round, there was even a donation on the scene.
The business tycoons did not make a move, but some third and fourth-tier celebrities made a move. This was their home ground.
Since they were invited, they had to give them a chance to show themselves.
50,000, 100,000, 200,000 …
Although the money was not much, the host still called out names one by one to express his gratitude. The live broadcast camera also swept across everyone.
As soon as this move was made, some celebrities complained in their hearts.
Originally, they were just there to freeload, but now it seemed that they had to spend money.
Otherwise, someone would definitely say that someone went to the charity night but did not donate a dime. If this spread, their reputation would be ruined.
Regarding this point, it was Li Dong and Hu Xiaorui who suggested it.
It was not enough to just freeload, no matter how much it was, without spending money.
In his previous life, many people did not understand the Peeza Charity Night at the beginning and thought that everyone who attended had donated. Later on, when the list of donors was announced, many people realized that many people were just there for a walk.
It was fine if you were performing for charity, but you did not even perform or donate money. You just walked the red carpet. What was the point of having you there?
Li Dong naturally despised people like that.
…
When the second wave of celebrities went on stage, the first round was completely over.
Including the live donations, the first round raised a total of 12 million.
At this time, Li Dong did not just sit there and did nothing. He took the opportunity to walk around.
There were many people who did the same thing as him. The charity night was longer today, and no one could stand sitting there for four to five hours.
Walking around halfway, getting to know others and discussing business was what everyone agreed on.
Li Dong did not walk towards Qin Yuhan. Shen Xuehua was there, and it would be awkward if he went there.
He changed his direction and walked to L'Oréal. Li Dong was suddenly surprised. "Yuan Xue, you work at L'Oréal?"
Yuan Xue was speechless. Did he have to be so pompous?!
She understood what Li Dong meant, but she did not really want Li Dong to stand up for her, especially on such an occasion.
Yuan Xue smiled faintly and nodded. "I just joined the company not long ago."
At this time, L'Oréal's research and development director could not help but ask, "General Manager Li, do you know Yuan Xue?"
Seeing Yuan Xue's expression, Li Dong was a little embarrassed, but he maintained his composure and said, "Yes, I know her. She was my high school classmate, but I didn't expect to meet her here."
After a brief exchange, Li Dong did not say anything else and went to the next table.
After he left, the research and development director of L'Oréal quickly asked Yuan Xue about the inside story. Yuan Xue said calmly, "She's just an ordinary classmate, and we don't have a good relationship. Otherwise, I would have told you long ago."
The director thought about it and agreed, or else Yuan Xue would have mentioned it before.
He did not dwell on it anymore. No matter what, Li Dong was a good friend, and it would come in handy sooner or later.
Thinking of this, the director smiled and said, "Yuan Xue, you've been in the company for some time now. When you go back this time, you can become a permanent employee in advance."
Yuan Xue thanked him and looked at Li Dong, who was talking to someone not far away. She could not help but sigh in her heart.
She did not show anything to Li Dong. She only said a few words and mentioned that they were classmates.
In the end, because of this, she became a permanent employee in advance.
L'Oréal was, after all, a world-renowned enterprise. It could be seen that Li Dong was in the limelight now, and his influence in the business world was extraordinary.
