Beijing.
Chang 'an Avenue.
Looking at the people coming and going at the construction site and the roaring machines, Li Dong said, "Hsu Shengzhe is really proactive. He's already starting to make a big move?"
Bai Su, who was following behind him, smiled and said, "He started a long time ago. He even asked us about it."
"Why do you think he's in such a hurry? It's not like he doesn't need to spend money. Now that he's starting, and I'm not doing anything, won't I be a laughing stock? "
Li Dong grumbled, then looked at Wanda not far away and said, "I heard that Wanda's plaza in Shijingshan is also opening for business?"
The person-in-charge of Dongyu Real Estate in Beijing was also a female in her early thirties.
Hearing Li Dong's question, she immediately said, "It's about to open in the second half of this year.
Also, their Pullman Hotel here should open at the same time.
Wanda's current slogan is' One Chang 'an Avenue, two Wanda Plazas.'
When Shijingshan Plaza opens, Wanda will have 19 urban complexes under its banner.
In the past, they did not feel much about it. But now, the industry finally realized that Wanda was not weak.
I think they might be able to make it into the top ten in a few years. "
Before 2008, Wanda's comprehensive strength had never entered the top ten in the real estate industry.
But it was hard to say this year, but it looked like it had a chance.
Li Dong smiled and said, "None of you are idle. Looks like we have to hurry up."
Building an urban complex was Li Dong's slogan a long time ago.
In fact, how many urban complexes did Dongyu Real Estate have?
0！
Yes, only one.
Far away, there were a lot of shopping malls, but they were just shopping malls.
Urban complexes included not only shopping malls, but also office buildings, residential buildings, hotels, apartments, and leisure and entertainment venues.
Since it was called an urban complex, it must have the concept of a small city.
In Beijing, Li Dong was preparing to build the first urban complex Far away.
After looking at the construction site for a while, Li Dong said, "It's time to attract foreign investment. Most importantly, it's from hotels. Hotels are a big part of building an urban complex. This is especially true for the capital. It's the first city complex in the truest sense of the word. Far away, there's a hypermarket. Cinemas. East Star also had cinemas. The most important thing is the hotel. It doesn't have to be the best or the most luxurious, but it has to be suitable for us. "
Dong Yu's female general said, "Chairman, are we preparing to develop it?"
Li Dong nodded and pondered for a moment before saying, "The land has already been taken down. It would be a waste to leave it empty.
The funds for the development were not in place in one go. They had to take it slow.
In addition, we should attract investment first and see how much capital we can get back.
When other people develop real estate, once the land is in their hands, they get their capital back.
Although we don't need to compare with others, we can't be too far behind. We should try to get as much money as we can.
Let's take it slow. It's fine as long as we can open for business in about 10 years. "
"Okay, I'll go back and report to Boss Wu."
The development of the project was not something that she, as the person in charge of the capital, could decide.
As she spoke, the female general continued, "Chairman, the Shen Corporation has approached us a few times regarding the matter of the hotel's investment. They hope to cooperate with us. Do you think we should give them special treatment?"
"No need!"
Li Dong shook his head and said, "If they want to participate, let them participate. There's no need to give them any special treatment. In recent years, the Shen Corporation's management has been lagging behind, and their share in the hotel industry has gradually fallen behind. In particular, some foreign hotels have entered the Hua Xia market. They are like the setting sun. I don't want to be dragged down by the Shen Corporation. "
Li Dong really did not care much about the Shen Corporation's side.
Even Shen Qian herself did not care much about the Shen Corporation's business. Shen Xuehua had also retired. Li Dong could not be bothered about their life and death.
In the capital's first urban complex, Li Dong definitely hoped to find a partner to help him.
The Shen Corporation could not help him and might even drag him down.
Moreover, those people from the Shen family were all arrogant. Li Dong was also not willing to deal with them.
Since it was a business matter, he would settle it with business methods.
Moreover, the Shen Corporation was too involved in politics. Li Dong felt that they would encounter trouble sooner or later.
If they cooperated with the Shen Corporation now, they might be unlucky in the end.
…
On the way back to the hotel from the CBD, Li Dong had been thinking about it.
He could not wait any longer. The financial crisis was said to have broken out, and it was still brewing. This kind of darkness before the storm was the most annoying.
The bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers was a turning point.
Li Dong had been waiting for the other party to go bankrupt, but it had not gone bankrupt until now. Li Dong was annoyed.
If it collapsed, the financial crisis would break out completely. After this stage, everyone could breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Dong could also sell part of the land after the government rescued the market.
Now he only had a little private money on hand, and the company's account was only left with the money from the last allocation, but it had already been used up.
Without a source of funds, the speed of expansion Far Away would definitely be affected.
Building an urban complex would cost a lot of money in this aspect alone.
In addition, the logistics had not completed all the layout, and the supermarket side could not take care of itself. Far Away's technology was almost the same.
Every aspect required money, and Li Dong was almost burdened to death.
…
Qin Yuhan was not in Beijing, and Li Dong did not return to Huaqing Jiayuan.
In addition, this time it was mainly for work, so Li Dong chose to stay in the hotel.
As soon as he returned to the hotel, Li Dong saw Shen Qian at the entrance of the hotel.
Shen Qian saw him and said with a smile, "Did you just go to the business center?"
"Yes."
Li Dong looked around and said, "Did you come alone?"
Shen Qian knew what he was worried about and said with a smile, "It's okay. Someone is secretly watching."
"That's good. Be careful."
The two exchanged a few words, and Shen Qian looked at Cao Feng and said, "Cousin is here too. Let's have dinner together tonight."
Cao Feng smiled and did not speak.
Being called cousin by Shen Qian, he was really under a lot of pressure.
Li Dong helped Cao Feng out of the situation and said, "Qi Yunna will treat you tonight. It's a welcoming banquet. You should come with us."
"Okay, I'll treat you later."
Shen Qian did not insist. She greeted Cao Feng and then said to Li Dong, "The Ministry of Civil Affairs said that they want to talk to you."
"Talk about what?"
"Secretary Liu has exerted pressure. Although my father did not say anything, his presence here is also pressure. In the past, the Ministry of Civil Affairs would have taken a step back. The key is that this time is different. The people below are also dissatisfied. Far away from the fund, they will not be able to explain to the people below. The Charity Association, the Red Cross, the Poverty Alleviation Fund, the Earthquake Reconstruction Fund Committee … These charities are all watching. They have to give them an explanation. "
Li Dong laughed and said, "So, it's still my fault? I stopped them from raising money on their own? Of course, the money I raised will be used by our foundation. Do I have to give them some for them to be happy? "
"You don't have to be so resistant. I don't care about others, but the Earthquake Reconstruction Committee, since you said that it's for the sake of post-earthquake reconstruction, we still have to negotiate."
Li Dong nodded and said, "I understand. The main factor is still money.
Let's do it this way. I'm not that kind of unreasonable person.
This time, we violated the rules first. It's not a solution to drag it on like this.
It's not easy for everyone to bleed this time. If we really give up, it's hard to say if we can make them bleed again next time.
Isn't the fundraising fund 425.2 million?
That 25.2 million will be supported by the Earthquake Reconstruction Committee. "
Shen Qian was speechless. Are you serious?
25.2 million, although not a small amount, Far away intercepted 400 million funds, I'm afraid it will not be satisfactory.
Seeing this, Li Dong smiled faintly and said, "Just reply to them like this. Whether they are willing or not, that's it. As for the person, I'm missing. I'm not the person in charge of the foundation. Why would they want to see me? More than 25 million should not be a small amount, right? What else do they want? It's said that taking a step back will open up the world. I've also taken a step back now. If you continue to force me, then we'll just break up. "
"Sigh!"
Shen Qian sighed. She knew that there was no way to change Li Dong's decision.
She also knew that it would probably not be so smooth in the future.
Would they be willing to take out less than one-tenth of the charity fund?
This was a serious fraction. There were zeros and there were whole zeros. She was afraid that those people would die.
As the two were talking, Li Dong's cell phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, Li Dong showed a strange expression and whispered, "Sun Wenhua."
"Him?"
Shen Qian raised her eyebrows and said, "Answer it. Let's hear what he has to say."
Li Dong nodded and answered the phone.
As soon as the phone was connected, Sun Wenhua said with a smile, "Li Dong, why didn't you say hello when you came to Beijing? If Manman hadn't mentioned this, I wouldn't have known."
Li Dong also said with a smile, "Director Sun is too polite. You're busy every day. I'm afraid of causing you trouble."
"No matter how busy I am, it doesn't matter. Are you free tomorrow afternoon? Let's have a cup of tea when you're free. "
"Tomorrow afternoon?"
Li Dong thought for a moment before apologizing, "Sorry, sorry, I'm afraid I can't tomorrow. Why don't I invite Director Sun later?"
"That's not necessary." Although Sun Wenhua knew that his invitation to Li Dong would most likely be rejected, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Then Sun Wenhua said, "It's at my house. It's not too far. Manman's grandpa is also at home. Let's have a chat?"
This time, Li Dong finally understood that it was not this guy who invited him.
Although Li Dong had never met Old Man Sun, he had heard of him many times.
The first time he heard of it was Hsu Shengzhe who said that he was protective of his people.
Back then, when someone provoked Hu Xiaorui, the old man flew to Jiangbei and slapped the person in front of him. It was a real slap, and his temper was not ordinary.
He was the older generation who killed his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. No matter what happened now, at least his deeds in the past were worthy of his respect.
Although he did not know if this old man was looking for trouble with him or something, Li Dong immediately smiled and said, "Alright, I'll be there tomorrow!"
Although Old Man Sun had retired, he might not offend him, but it was better not to offend him.
This time, he took the initiative to invite Li Dong. If he did not go, it would not give others a good impression.
The old man was a powerful person, and you, Li Dong, was just a businessman. Now that the old man had retired, who would dare to deal with you in the future?
Of course, Li Dong was not afraid.
He did not offend the other party. Other than slapping his granddaughter a few times, he did not do anything else.
If Old Man Sun wanted to make things difficult for him because of this, then Li Dong would politely decline.
Li Dong was not alone now. Not only did he control a hundred billion dollar corporation, but he also had many people supporting him.
Not to mention the two officials in Jiangbei, Liu Minghua from Sichuan also owed him a favor.
In addition, he had connections all over Faraway Land, as well as Du Anmin in Beijing, as well as a few big shots who had shown goodwill to Faraway Land …
Even if the old man did not retire, he would have to weigh the pros and cons before making a move against Li Dong.
To make a move against Old Huang, it would take a few years of work. They had to advertise in advance, tarnish his reputation, and have a good reason to do it.
To make a move against Li Dong, without evidence, it would take at least three to five years of preparation. Not many people could bear the responsibility if they rashly made a move against him.
The number of employees Far Away was growing to 200,000. The 200,000 employees could not be properly settled, and Far Away suddenly lost control of Li Dong. Could anyone really take over this responsibility?
Even Gome almost got into trouble in his previous life.
This was under the condition that they were prepared. The boss of Yongle Electrical Appliances, Cheng Xiao, had long been pulled out to be his successor.
In the end, Gome, who suddenly lost Old Huang, still had problems.
In the end, Old Huang's wife was released from prison to solve the problem. Old Huang stayed in prison to command, and the incident was settled.
On the other hand, Faraway was now stronger than Gome.
Gome still had Cheng Xiao as a substitute, and Old Huang's wife could still hold the fort. What about Far Away?
Yuan Chengdao?
Sun Tao?
Or who else?
These people could not do it. Once Li Dong fell, Far Away would immediately decline. Many people understood this.
…
They hung up.
Shen Qian said softly, "Elder Sun?"
"Yes, treat me to tea …"
As he spoke, Li Dong said awkwardly, "Luckily I'm not an official. Otherwise, I wouldn't go even if you wanted to treat me to tea."
Shen Qian laughed. After a while, she said, "Elder Sun is fishing and growing flowers now. He doesn't care about what's going on outside. Why would he look for you? How about this, I'll go with you tomorrow to avoid trouble. "
"Is it convenient?"
Li Dong did not refuse Shen Qian to go with him. However, it seemed inappropriate to bring Shen Qian along without the other party's consent.
Shen Qian covered her mouth and laughed, "It's not inappropriate. At most, we won't go together. I'll visit alone. If I meet you by chance, no one will say anything."
She was Du Anmin's daughter. If she went to visit the Sun family, would they not let her in?
Obviously, it was impossible.
Since they couldn't stop her, they had to entertain her. At this time, Li Dong was also there. How could they not let them meet?
As soon as Shen Qian said this, Li Dong laughed and said, "Okay, let's do it this way. In fact, I'm not afraid of them. I'm mainly afraid that Elder Sun is old and wants to beat me. If he falls, what should I do? "
"Pfft!"
Shen Qian couldn't help but laugh.
Rolling her eyes at Li Dong, Shen Qian reminded him, "Don't talk nonsense tomorrow. It's fine if you say this to me. It's not appropriate for others to hear it."
Li Dong said with a smile, "I understand. But thinking about it, it's not necessarily impossible. If I'm being blackmailed, I really can't explain myself. You'd better go as soon as possible."
Shen Qian hit him. How is it possible!
No matter how unruly Elder Sun is, he wouldn't do such a thing.
However, after thinking about it, Shen Qian couldn't help but think, "It's hard to say. Li Dong is also unruly."
Then Shen Qian snorted. I've been led astray by this guy. I actually think of Elder Sun in this way. I've sinned!
