Wang Cheng and the others quickly left.
They still had to prepare for this matter. If they were caught, they would just be jailed.
But if there was nothing wrong, who would want to go to jail?
They were prepared to go to the capital to explore and figure out the situation first.
Once they left, Tan Yong couldn't help but whisper, "General Manager Li, actually I can do this. If I really can't do it, I can ask Xiao Cao to do it. Wang Cheng and the others … "
"You don't trust them?"
"Not really. But they haven't been in contact with you for long. I'm worried …"
"Worried that they will sell me out?"
Li Dong smiled faintly. "Don't worry about that. Did I say anything just now? I just asked them to bring a few kids out to play. There's no other meaning in it. And the truth is that they did bring them out to play. Even if they really sell me out, it's not a big deal. "
"But …"
Tan Yong wanted to say a few more words, but in the end, he didn't speak again.
Li Dong made it sound simple. But if he was really sold out, it would still be a little troublesome.
After all, he wasn't familiar with them. What right did he have to bring their kids out to play?
If their families didn't let go, Li Dong would definitely be in trouble.
But Li Dong really wasn't too worried. He had already calculated in his heart.
If Wang Cheng and the others were accidentally caught and sold him out after being caught, he would first reason with them. If reason didn't work, then he would use force.
Those people were full of sh * t. It was hard to say whether they would dare to make a big deal out of it.
In Li Dong's opinion, there was a high chance that they wouldn't dare.
Even if it was a life-and-death struggle, the biggest possibility was that they would die. Li Dong wouldn't be a big deal.
Of course, there were always exceptions.
If some people didn't care and insisted on fighting with Li Dong, then it would be a lose-lose situation.
At Li Dong's level, if he didn't play dirty, he wouldn't die. He would be sentenced to a few years at most.
Li Dong would rather bear a crime and be sentenced to a few years than let those people have an easy time.
Otherwise, he would always be targeted by others. If he forced himself on her this time, no one would dare to do anything to him in the future.
Youth was capital. Li Dong was only 23 years old. He was qualified to gamble with others.
Li Dong did not continue to talk about this matter. He changed the topic and said, "By the way, help me find some channels. Secretly, help me exchange tens of millions of gold or something to preserve my value."
"Exchange for gold?"
Tan Yong was a little surprised and felt a little guilty. What happened to the boss?
Li Dong smiled and said, "Leave a way out. I've been tossing and turning during this period of time, so I'm a little lacking in confidence. If one did not plan for the future, there would be immediate worries. Otherwise, he would be tricked by others one day and would not even be able to eat. I still have some money on hand. I'll spend it first. "
Li Dong still had hundreds of millions in cash on hand. He would be a fool to not spend it in the bank.
Buy some gold and find a place to bury it. Maybe it will come in handy someday.
Even if he couldn't use it, it didn't matter. While he had money, it was good to keep some for himself.
Li Dong even secretly thought about buying some property overseas.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows. He did not care about it in the past, but now he had to.
During this period of time, he had been a little annoyed.
Again and again, trouble seemed endless. Who had the time to fight with others every day?
Tan Yong hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and ask around. There are many people who do this kind of business."
"Okay, that's it. You go do your work first. I'll be alone for a while."
"Then rest early."
Tan Yong said with concern and left the room.
…
Outside the room.
Tan Yong thought for a while and entered Wang Cheng and the others' room.
Seeing Tan Yong, Wang Cheng hurriedly said, "Old Tan, does General Manager Li have any instructions?"
Tan Yong shook his head and sat down. "I came to look for you. I have a few things to tell you."
"Tell me, what is it?"
"General Manager Li just said."
The few of them looked puzzled. What was it again?
Tan Yong deliberated for a moment before saying, "You are Old Zhou's comrades. Wang Cheng, you were in the same class as me, so you are also my comrade. The other brothers, although we were not in the same class, we were still in the same army. If there's anything between us, just say it. "
Wang Cheng said with a solemn expression, "Just say it. Just say whatever is good or bad. Why are we fussing over this?"
"Although General Manager Li does not care much about this matter and is not afraid of others knowing about it. But we owe General Manager Li a favor, and that's why we are where we are today. Now that we've done it, it's best that we don't cause trouble for General Manager Li. In my opinion, there's actually no need for you guys to do it. Little Cao, Old Zheng, or I can do it. But since General Manager Li has taken a fancy to you guys, I have to remind you that there's a rule in the army. If you're captured as a captive, you must never betray your own people! "
The few of them frowned and did not say anything. Tan Yong did not care and continued, "But there are always some people who can't handle this. Those who betray their own people are traitors, not captives. We have our own rules when it comes to traitors. I, Old Tan, will say this upfront. I believe you guys, but we have to be prepared for the worst. If something really happens and you guys betray us … "
Tan Yong paused, lit a cigarette, and started smoking. After a while, he said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony! I won't touch anyone else, but if I don't kill you guys, I'll kill myself! "
The few of them frowned and did not say a word. After a while, Wang Cheng grunted and said, "Old Tan, you're underestimating us!"
"I'm just saying. You can hate me or blame me, but that's it. General Manager Li doesn't know about this matter, but you guys know General Manager Li's character. Don't misunderstand. It's not easy for my life, my mother's life, and so many people in my family to have the days we have now. If something happens to General Manager Li, then it's me who will be in trouble. No matter what, I'll definitely do it. Wang Cheng should know my character. "
Wang Cheng snorted and said, "You are like that, so am I not? Old Tan, don't make it sound like you're the only loyal official! All of us have never thought about this matter. Ignoring the fact that you are threatening us, even if you didn't say anything, if anything were to happen to any of us, I would kill him myself! "
"That's for the best. I'll be leaving first."
Tan Yong did not say anything else as he got up and left.
After he left, the man with the crew cut beside Wang Cheng curled his lips and said, "Old Tan, this fellow is still playing this game with us."
Wang Cheng shot him a glance and said in a muffled voice, "Old Tan is just like that. Just listen to him. However, this fellow, Old Tan, is a man of his word. Don't blame me for not warning you. If anything were to happen to anyone, I wouldn't doubt that he would kill you. Also, I was serious just now. If any of you were to play that game, I'll kill you myself! When the time comes, I'll take care of your family and know what to do. "
The hearts of the few of them froze. After a while, someone said seriously, "Brother Wang, we have worked together for so many years. Don't tell me you don't know who we are? Besides, this time, General Manager Li gave us 500,000 yuan and a house. If we aren't satisfied with that and betray General Manager Li, then we can just kill ourselves! "
"Yes, it's good that you know what to do. Besides, it's just a matter of being arrested. "
"Brother Wang, we all understand."
"Then I won't say anymore. After this matter, we can be considered on the same line as General Manager Li. In the past, Old Zhou, Old Tan, and the others weren't as good as us. Now that they are all like this, I don't believe that you won't be tempted. In the past, you didn't have a chance. Now that the opportunity has come, you have to grasp it well. "
"Understood!"
The few of them hurriedly responded. None of them knew about this matter.
Li Dong was still young. Only by following such a boss would he have a bright future.
At least if they died, Li Dong would not die. He might even be able to take care of his family and children in the future. This was a good deal.
…
On the 12th of August, Li Dong left Gan Province and led the team to Jiangzhe.
Wang Yuzhang had been following him, but Wang Cheng and the others had gone to Capital one step earlier.
Tan Yong, who was following beside Li Dong, could not help but sympathize with Wang Yuzhang's flattery.
This guy probably did not know that the boss was going to deal with him later.
In Jiangzhe, the process was the same.
After leaving a team of people to check the accounts, Li Dong gave them a target and prepared to return to Jiangbei.
As for the other places, they would wait until they returned to pay their respects to the ancestors.
If it were not for Liu Qing, Li Dong would not have stayed in Capital for so long. Before the 15th, he would have been able to check the other places.
Now, it seemed that he had to delay it for a while.
…
In Jiangzhe, as soon as Li Dong arrived, someone came to visit him without an invitation.
Not long after he stayed in the hotel, Ma Yun came to find him.
When Li Dong saw Ma Yun, he was slightly surprised. He asked him to sit down and said with a smile, "Old Ma, you're quite well-informed. You're here to treat me to a meal?"
Ma Yun did not bother to answer and went straight to the point. "We'll talk about the meal later. It's already the 12th. I think you've lost the bet."
"Bet?"
Ma Yun put on a fake smile and said, "Are you going to go back on your word?"
Only then did Li Dong react. He was speechless. "Do I need to go back on my word? I've been so busy recently that I don't have the time to care about such a small matter. Only you are so narrow-minded. You settled the score with me for a house, and now you're here to remind me about such a small matter. You're too narrow-minded. "
Ma Yun's face darkened. Don't you know that you lost the bet?
Besides, who said this was a small matter?
Before he spoke, Li Dong curiously asked Bai Su who came over with tea, "Bai Su, what's the monthly sales of our Far Away Mall's promotion?"
Li Dong really did not pay attention to this matter recently. Bai Su hurriedly said, "22.5 billion."
"What about Taobao?"
Bai Su just wanted to speak, but Ma Yun interrupted, "16 billion!"
"Oh!"
Li Dong emphasized his tone meaningfully. After a while, he said, "You were in such a hurry. I thought you surpassed me, but you still lost 6.5 billion."
Ma Yun did not even bother to despise him. What about 10 billion?
Of course, Li Dong's words still had some impact on him, and he was quite shocked.
It had surpassed Taobao by 6.5 billion!
Taobao was mainly in the C2C industry. Tens of thousands of shops were all third parties. In the end, it was still surpassed by Far Away by so much. It was embarrassing to say this.
But this matter was also related to Li Dong.
Thinking of this, Ma Yun changed the topic, "Let's not talk about this first. I say, can you be more reliable? Is it fun to have people report me all the time? You know about the C2C industry. Ali has recently been reforming, but it takes time. You, on the other hand, have people watch me all the time, and report and expose me at every turn. Aren't you being too unreasonable? "
Ma Yun really had nowhere to vent his anger now. Encountering a person like Li Dong who did not play by the rules, he was having a headache.
This guy really had his eyes on him.
He would report to the Consumer Association, or the AQSIQ, or even the Industry and Commerce Department. Sometimes, he would even go to the Tax Department.
Far Away was not a small business. They would even report Taobao directly.
The higher-ups could not ignore it. Once they did, they would have to rectify the situation. Rectifying the situation would mean closing down a portion of the shops. Business would be greatly affected, and morale would be greatly affected.
Ma Yun was about to vomit blood. How could he be so shameless!
When Li Dong heard that, he said righteously, "That's where you are in the wrong. You think you are in the right when you sell fake goods? It doesn't matter who is in the right. I'm the one in the right. Is it against the law for me to report you? "
Ma Yun said impatiently, "I'm not arguing with you about this. Stop interrupting. I've already said that I need time to rectify the situation. If you keep doing this, it'll be boring. In a month of promotions, you have reported me more than twenty times. Do you think I can rectify it in time? Things have to be done step by step. Don't think you are any better than me. I can't be bothered to argue with you over this. If not … "
"You're welcome to report me!"
Li Dong's face was full of smugness. He said with a face full of smiles, "I'm not afraid of that. It'll be good for me to report you."
"Dream on!"
The two of them bickered for a while. In the end, Ma Yun said, "Remember to give me a month's advertisement on the front page. I came to you today mainly not for this matter."
Li Dong was a little surprised. "There's something else?"
"Nonsense. Do you really think I'm so free to talk nonsense with you just for an advertisement?"
He was quite familiar with Li Dong. The two of them had meals together, drank together, had meetings together, and often talked nonsense in the group chat.
As time went on, Ma Yun could not be bothered to act serious with Li Dong.
Actually, Li Dong was not serious either. Ma Yun secretly despised him. A guy who often acted cool in the group chat had long been seen through by everyone.
After letting his imagination run wild for a while, Ma Yun said, "This time, I'm looking for you mainly to discuss cooperation."
"Cooperation? What's there to cooperate with? It's a life and death situation. Don't tell me you want to acquire us? "
"Be serious." Ma Yun could not stand him. I'm talking about serious matters, and you're talking nonsense with me.
Li Dong smiled. "Alright. Tell me, what do you want to cooperate on?"
"It's not just you. This time, I'm working with a few other online payment companies to propose to the central bank to implement new regulations to promote the development of online payment. In the past, online finance has always been irregular. Our Alipay and your Wan Tao are now unregistered accounts. There are some blind spots in the law that have limited our development. What I mean is, let's work together. There's strength in numbers. Let's promote the development of online finance together … "
Li Dong did not pay attention to what Ma Yun said next.
He roughly understood what Ma Yun meant. This was to clear the name of online finance and prepare to go all out.
Could it be that this guy is thinking about Ant Gold now? Isn't it too early?
Li Dong glanced at him. Was this guy provoked by me? Or did he already have this idea?
