Chen Jiawan.
Li Dong hung up and sneered, "Old Chang wants to turn the tables? He's underestimating me too much."
Hu Xiaorui was lying by the pond, fishing for lobsters with a rope.
She looked up and asked, "What's the outcome now?"
"Chang Qiqi went abroad, and Chen Rui went in to enjoy himself."
Hu Xiaorui said unhappily, "That's too easy on them! I think we should just upload the video online. "
Li Dong shook his head and said, "Even if it's uploaded, the outcome won't be much different. In fact, the outcome will only be easier. The Olympics are a deterrent to Chang Yuanshan, and to me too. As for me, I have to look at the big picture. So, this outcome is the most suitable. We can also watch Old Chang and Chen Rui's father fight. Who knows, we might even be able to watch a big show in the end. "
Li Dong said with a smile, "Five or ten years later, do you think these two can still jump around?"
Five years later, it was hard to say whether Chang Yuanshan and Chen Rui's father would still be in power.
At that time, even if the two of them came back, what could they do?
Right now, the two of them were jumping around because they were their elders. Without the prestige of their elders, these two people were nothing more than a fart.
Li Dong was high above them, and it was hard to say if they would have the chance to see Li Dong in the future.
Being ruthless and having one's reputation tarnished depended on who the person was.
For example, that person in Beijing was more worth it.
But dealing with Chen Rui and Chang Yuanshan and having a bad reputation would be a big loss.
Hu Xiaorui thought about it and nodded. "That's true. But Chang Qiqi really got lucky when she went abroad!"
"Hur hur, she won't be able to endure hardship or do anything when she goes abroad. Do you think she'll starve to death if she gets cheated of all her savings? "
Hu Xiaorui suddenly became interested and quickly said, "You want to find someone to cheat her?"
"A fool? She's easy to cheat. Let's see how it goes. Actually, even if she leaves, she won't be able to bring much money with her. Old Chang still has his reservations. "
Chang Yuanshan sent his daughter abroad, how much money could she bring?
If he really brought too much, he would just be looking for trouble.
Especially when Li Dong was still watching. Wasn't he afraid that Li Dong would take drastic measures again?
Therefore, Chang Qiqi would not bring too much money with her. She was born to enjoy life. If she really went abroad, she might end up washing dishes for a living.
When Li Dong thought of this, he grinned and said, "If there's really no money and Old Chang can't bear to part with his daughter, he'll think of a way to send her a few million. That'll be fun."
"You mean?"
"I didn't say anything. However, Old Tan suffered a loss this time. Let him send more people to keep an eye on him. If there's a chance, it wouldn't be a bad idea to send Old Chang to meet his son-in-law. "
Hu Xiaorui looked at Li Dong with some surprise. After a long time, she said, "You seem to be getting more and more sinister."
"Go go go!"
Li Dong rolled his eyes. After a while, he said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. I can't use force against official figures. If I can find an opportunity to kill one, I'll do it. If I can't find an opportunity, I can only wait. Now that others are afraid of me, I'm actually afraid of others too. In the past, the barefooted were not afraid of those who wore shoes. Now, I'm wearing shoes too. Charging around is a double-edged sword! "
Li Dong sighed emotionally. This was growth.
In the past, he was not strong and did not have a deep foundation. When he encountered trouble, he could just roll up his sleeves and fight.
But now, he had a big family and business. While others were more afraid of him, Li Dong himself also had scruples.
Now, it was up to the person whether or not he could barge in.
Otherwise, what if someone else dragged Li Dong down with them when they were having a hard time?
This time, when dealing with Chang Yuanshan, Li Dong left a way out and negotiated a condition that everyone could accept. This way, Chang Yuanshan would not despair and would not want to fight with Li Dong to the death.
If Li Dong's conditions were too much, then Chang Yuanshan would definitely not agree. Maybe he would despair and fight with him to the death.
If someone like him really wanted to fight with his life, even if Li Dong could withstand it, he would lose a lot.
After weighing the pros and cons, Li Dong made his choice.
Hu Xiaorui sighed softly when she heard that. "It seems that there's no chance to smash other people's doors in the future."
"You, you still want to smash people's doors." Li Dong laughed and said, "Everyone has grown up. You too. Now, you're the boss of East Star. After acquiring New Pictures, East Star will also have a place in the northern cinema market. At that time, you'll be the godmother of entertainment. Still thinking of smashing people's doors, aren't you afraid of being laughed at? "
Hu Xiaorui did not say anything and continued to fish for her lobsters.
Li Dong looked at the time and said, "I'll go back to take a look. You continue to play here. We have to go back tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?"
"There are more things to do. There's no other way. The New Pictures Alliance's matter has to be dealt with as soon as possible."
Hu Xiaorui said disappointedly, "Alright then, where will I sleep tonight?"
"We'll see."
Li Dong did not know the situation at home. Of course, he did not know how to arrange it.
Leaving Hu Xiaorui to fish for lobsters, Li Dong walked home.
On the way, he met villagers, young and old, who took the initiative to greet Li Dong with a bright smile on their faces.
…
Li family's old mansion.
Zhuang Fan was chatting with Li Chengyuan.
Although Li Chengyuan did not know Zhuang Fan, since he was a guest brought back by his son, he did not mind chatting with this young man.
Seeing that Li Dong had returned, Zhuang Fan said with a smile, "Dongzi, you didn't fish for lobsters with Xiaorui?"
The corner of Li Dong's mouth twitched slightly. Damn you, you really know how to take advantage of the situation!
Are the two of us friends?
The two of us are enemies!
Although the hatred is not deep, you act as if we are very close. Where does your confidence come from?
Li Dong said with a fake smile, "Isn't Young Master Zhuang waiting for me? It's getting late. I didn't come to send Young Master Zhuang off, lest I miss the time."
"It's fine, it's fine. I've already told Uncle that I'll sleep here tonight. It won't delay."
Of course, Zhuang Fan would not leave. Hu Xiaorui was still here.
Although Hu Xiaorui did not go to the ancestral worship, if they were to sneak into the same room in the middle of the night, he would still be cuckolded tomorrow.
During this period of time, Li Dong and Hu Xiaorui could not be too intimate.
At least until he returned to the capital to find the old man to cancel this non-existent engagement. After that, he was too lazy to care about Li Dong and Hu Xiaorui's business.
Li Dong glanced at him and said lightly, "As you wish."
"Dongzi, we're not busy now. Let's talk for a while?"
Li Dong looked at his parents and nodded. "Let's go out and talk."
"Okay!"
Zhuang Fan responded and then said to the two elders with a kind face, "Uncle, Auntie, I'll go out first. I want to talk to Dongzi."
Li Chengyuan and his wife really did not see that Zhuang Fan and their son did not get along. When they heard this, they also smiled and said, "Go ahead and do what you need to do. Come back early. I will personally cook for you tonight and make you some local specialties."
"Thank you, Uncle."
Zhuang Fan said politely again and went out with Li Dong with a smile.
When they were out of the door, Li Dong said lightly, "Acting is very tiring, right?"
"That's not it." Zhuang Fan said indifferently, "People are acting all their lives.
When they were young, they acted for their parents, classmates, and teachers.
When they grew up, they still had to act for their friends. In business, they had to act beautifully so that everyone would trust them.
In the future, they might even have to act for their wives and children …
In this life, except until the moment of death, no one can escape from this circle.
Of course, if you say that I'm a fool, then it's meaningless. I'm just a joke. It doesn't matter whether I act or not. "
"It sounds quite sincere, but according to you, you're also acting now?"
"Of course."
Zhuang Fan said with a smile, "Actually, I want to fall out with you now, but I can't beat you. As for me, I'm just a rich second generation. I don't have much ability. If I don't please General Manager Li, I'm really afraid that General Manager Li will make things difficult for me. "
"Hehe!"
Zhuang Fan did not care and said with a smile, "General Manager Li, we are all businessmen. There's not much meaning in arguing about this. You see, my fiancée and you have an ambiguous relationship. I didn't say anything. A man should be more magnanimous … "
"I've underestimated you." Li Dong did not ridicule him. He said seriously, "In my opinion, being thick-skinned and black-hearted is the essence of learning from you. A thick-skinned and black-hearted person has a bright future!"
"General Manager Li, you flatter me."
Zhuang Fan did not mind and continued strolling with Li Dong.
When they were near the village entrance, there were fewer people around. Zhuang Fan said slowly, "General Manager Li, let's talk business."
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Anything. Retail, e-commerce, real estate, logistics, and other internet industries. There's nothing we can't talk about. The Zhuang family has a wide range of businesses, and they are involved in all industries. "
"I'm not interested."
Zhuang Fan said with a smile, "General Manager Li, don't be in a hurry to reject me. Let me say a few words first, and you can decide after listening to me. What do you think?"
"Speak."
"Don't you want to acquire Yonghui? I can help you with this matter. I have some connections at HSBC. It's just a small supermarket, and HSBC doesn't mind. How about you give the acquisition to General Manager Li as a greeting gift? "
Li Dong sneered. There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
A greeting gift from him for free?
If he really believed it, Li Dong would be dumbfounded.
However, Zhuang Fan's words made him slightly wary. The Zhuang family's network was quite wide.
HSBC obviously had a relationship with the Zhuang family, or the Zhuang family simply had a business in this field.
Otherwise, it would not be so easy.
In Li Dong's opinion, Zhuang Fan's words were half to discuss cooperation, and the other half was to show the Zhuang family's strength.
You see, we know that you want to acquire Yonghui.
Similarly, we can also decide how HSBC treats Yonghui.
From this, it can be seen that the Zhuang family's wealth might not be comparable to Li Dong's, but their connections and network far exceed Li Dong's.
Li Dong smiled and said, "Young Master Zhuang, don't stand on ceremony. There's no need for a greeting gift. It's just Yonghui. I will acquire it myself. If I can't acquire it … then let it go bankrupt. As for HSBC, it's such a big favor. Young Master Zhuang, don't use it. "
Zhuang Fan slightly raised his eyebrows and smiled. "General Manager Li is still so stubborn. Forget it, then I won't waste my effort. By the way, is Wumart General Manager Li interested? "
Li Dong frowned and said in a deep voice, "Wumart is also your business?"
"That's not it." Zhuang Fan denied this possibility and said with a smile, "But if General Manager Li is really interested, I can help a little. The Zhuang family is quite experienced in doing business in Capital City. "
"What do you want?"
Li Dong was not in a hurry to agree, but asked about his purpose.
"Equity participation."
Zhuang Fan said matter-of-factly, "The Zhuang family generally does not manage their own business. Most of the businesses are equity participation and dividends.
General Manager Li, don't worry. The Zhuang family has a reputation.
These years, we have equity participation in many companies. There are at least 20 companies in the top 500 Hua Xia companies.
The Zhuang family only takes dividends and does not care about anything else. Everyone knows this.
If General Manager Li is not assured, you can ask around. Some people still know about it.
For example, Hua Xia Alumni Association and Entrepreneur Club. Some companies also have shares in the Zhuang family.
Of course, not much. The Zhuang family's strength is limited.
Also, in business, you get what you pay for. We are not robbing. Let's discuss a mutually satisfactory condition.
When the company has money to develop, the Zhuang family can also help settle some matters.
And we can also benefit from it.
This is killing two birds with one stone. Both parties are willing, and everyone benefits.
It's a win-win situation after all. "
Li Dong frowned and said after a while, "How do you want to be a shareholder?"
"Far away, your shares are a bit messy. Even I don't know the specifics. If you want to be a shareholder, it will depend on whether you are split up or as a whole. Of course, forget about real estate for now. Dong Yu is not strong. If you want to enter the real estate industry, Dong Yu is not in our consideration. "
"What about supermarkets?"
"No problem." Zhuang Fan smiled and said, "Faraway Supermarket is doing well now. If you want to split it up, you can also be a shareholder. Also, as I said, we can provide a lot of help to Far away. We can negotiate with Yonghui, Wumart, etc. In this case, I think Far away will be the number one retail company. General Manager Li, what do you think? "
"Price."
"If it's too much, we can't handle it. 3 billion, 10%. "
"Haha!"
"We can negotiate the price." Zhuang Fan said calmly, "What we are paying is not only money, but also other things. Manager Li should understand this point."
"Without you, I can still do it."
"That's different. General Manager Li, think about it. Do you feel it is very difficult every time you do something? Whether it is Su Guo or Carrefour, the effort and money you put in is not a small amount. But with the help of the Zhuang family, many things can be solved easily. Both sides will benefit. "
Seeing Li Dong did not speak, Zhuang Fan said again, "3.5 billion. I am really sincere. Or we can not talk about supermarkets, logistics is also fine. "
Li Dong finally understood that the Zhuang family would not reject anyone.
They could be a shareholder of anything as long as they could make money.
Of course, most of them were in the real estate industry. This was also the mindset of the old entrepreneurs.
As for the Internet, they were interested, but not very interested.
From Zhuang Fan's tone, it was clear that supermarkets and logistics were the first choice. If they did not want to do real estate, the Internet would be the last choice.
Li Dong thought for a moment and said, "I will think about it and give you an answer later."
"That's for sure. But I still hope to cooperate with General Manager Li." Zhuang Fan stretched out his hand. Li Dong glanced at it and shook it. He smiled and said, "I also hope to have the opportunity to cooperate, but let's talk about it after I think about it."
"No hurry, no hurry."
Zhuang Fan was not in a hurry. The Zhuang family had been doing business for a long time. They had seen all kinds of people.
If they could cooperate, they would cooperate. It did not matter if they did not cooperate.
However, Li Dong's side had risen faster and made money at an amazing speed. Zhuang Fan was still willing to share a share of the profits.
