He slept until he woke up naturally.
Li Dong, who had exhausted all his energy a few days ago, was once again full of energy.
After washing up, eating, and practicing a set of tortoise boxing, Li Dong once again went to Distance Building.
…
Li Dong had just arrived at the office.
Yuan Chengdao knocked on the door and entered. "General Manager Li, the evaluation report on Longhua is done. I've handed it to Assistant Bai. You can take a look at it when you have time. In addition, I've booked an afternoon flight to Sichuan. The airline's matter must be settled as soon as possible. I'll go with CEO Qin. It's very sincere. CEO Lan won't refuse. "
"It's hard to say. The old man has deep feelings for Sichuan Airlines. Give it a try and do your best. "
Li Dong wasn't sure if Lan Xingguo would come.
But if he didn't try, no one could tell what the result would be.
Far Away was indeed very sincere this time. The group's CEO and the logistics CEO personally came to invite him. Li Dong had also invited him before. It could be said that he was very courteous.
But Lan Xingguo was indeed worthy of this invitation from Far Away. He could set up half of the airline's framework by himself.
If it wasn't for the fact that Li Dong was really busy, he might have to invite such a person himself.
In this society, as long as you had the ability and talent, it wasn't impossible to visit the thatched cottage three times.
Of course, not everyone could have this kind of treatment. If you didn't have the ability, you were arrogant, and you always had the attitude of being talented, no one would care about you.
The two talked for a while. Before Yuan Chengdao left, Bai Su knocked on the door and walked in.
She handed a few documents to Li Dong. Li Dong glanced at them briefly and then said, "Besides the evaluation report on Longhua, what's the other one?"
Bai Su hurriedly said, "A few days ago, Yinchuan held a press conference and summit meeting for Hua Xia's top 500 enterprises. They released the list of Hua Xia's top 500 enterprises. I was too busy before and didn't have time to take a look at it. I just remembered this. "
Upon hearing this, Li Dong was not very interested.
The list of Hua Xia's top 500 was naturally not released for this year, but for last year.
Everyone had a rough idea of the results of last year.
However, there were some organizations in the country that procrastinated. Logically speaking, once 2007 was over, it would take at most two to three months for the list to be released.
But some people would hold meetings, discuss, discuss, and eat and drink while they were at it …
In short, if it was a small matter, he could delay it for half a year.
It was already September, and the long overdue 2007 rankings were finally out.
In fact, Li Dong wasn't very interested in the list. Instead, Yuan Chengdao smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I suddenly thought of something. I was also invited to the summit before, but I didn't go. We had a lot of things to do during those days. In the end, during that time, there was too much news about us. We didn't go, and dozens of companies that had planned to go also didn't go. The organizers had wanted to make it a little more intense, but in the end, two or three kittens had gone. I heard that the news conference only lasted for an hour or so, but it took three days to eat and drink. "
Li Dong sneered and did not say anything.
He picked up the list and looked at it briefly. He was not in a hurry to look at Far away. Looking at the top three companies, Li Dong smiled and said, "It's much better than the ones released in 2007. I remember that only Petrochemical broke a trillion last time. This year, it has reached three. The State Grid and Petroleum have also reached a trillion. It looks like it will be difficult to enter the top ten without a trillion in revenue in the future. "
Yuan Chengdao smiled and said, "That's normal. After all, it's a monopoly industry. Furthermore, it has a deep foundation and has been established for a long time. When it's released next year, we can still be in the top 20 no matter what. "
Li Dong did not reply and looked down the list.
In 2007, Bailian had more than 150 billion in revenue, ranked 25th.
China Resources had 115 billion, ranked 37th.
Gome had 102.5 billion, ranked 44th. Suning had 85.5 billion, ranked 53rd.
When he looked at Far away, the results were not out of Li Dong's expectations. 52 billion, ranked 80th.
It seemed that 80th place wasn't much. In fact, Far away had only been established for less than four years. It was already amazing to be able to enter the top 100.
Excluding those state-owned enterprises, it was also in the top ten among the private sector.
However, Li Dong only looked at it casually. After looking at it, he threw down the list and said, "Old Huang has experienced it. This year, we will strive to enter the top 15. If we can't do it, we have to be in the top 20. In another two years, we will enter the top 10. Our five-year goal is to be first in Hua Xia! "
Yuan Chengdao's expression was calm. If it was a year ago, when Li Dong said this, he would have directly kicked him to death. Could he not brag so much?
Now, he was used to it. Wasn't Hua Xia first? If you said you could beat Wal-Mart, he would have no objections.
On the other hand, Bai Su's spirits were roused. She hurriedly nodded and said, "We can definitely do it! Now, everyone is very enthusiastic … "
Bai Su flattered him a little. Yuan Chengdao sighed helplessly. What was the use of being enthusiastic? The key was to achieve results.
The atmosphere in the company now was indeed good. Everyone was in high spirits.
However, there were also disadvantages.
If they were too excited, it would be easy to cause trouble.
In the past few days, Yuan Chengdao had received at least 50 new proposals. Some requested for expansion, some requested for new business, and some requested for funding for research and development.
All of them really thought that Far away had opened a bank.
Yuan Chengdao could not be bothered to look at these reports.
If he was not afraid of damaging everyone's confidence, he would have held a meeting to reprimand these people for being impetuous.
Being in high spirits did not mean being impetuous.
However, the most impetuous representative Far away was Li Dong. Yuan Chengdao did not say anything. Seeing that Li Dong was looking at the report, Yuan Chengdao stood up and said, "General Manager Li, then I will leave first."
"Ok. Go ahead with your work."
Li Dong waved his hand and continued to look at Longhua's documents.
…
Longhua's performance in the past two years was quite good. After working with Li Dong a few times, Longhua had made a lot of money.
Although the real estate market was not good this year, Longhua's reputation was still good because they were willing to refund their properties. Hence, their performance did not decline too much.
Even so, Longhua was still a lot worse than Far away.
According to the data that Yuan Chengdao had found, as well as the data that Long Hua had provided.
In the end, they gave a rough estimate. Their total assets were about 30 billion, and their liabilities were about 15 billion.
That means Longhua's net assets were in the range of 15 billion.
But Longhua's debt ratio was not high compared to other real estate companies. It was only 50%.
Also, Longhua was not listed yet, and their total assets were already 30 billion. It was considered very high.
At this time, Vanke was the leader in the real estate industry, and its market value was only about 75 billion.
Of course, Vanke was a listed company, and it was hard to say.
During the bull market last year, Vanke's market value was as high as 300 billion. In the blink of an eye, Vanke lost more than 200 billion. Vanke might even want to die.
Luckily, Longhua was not listed. If it was listed, its market value might not be as high as now.
The companies that went public in 2008 were too horrible to look at.
Ali's share price had almost fallen below the issue price, and the internet industry was not affected.
Feng Yu had mentioned that he wanted to exchange 25% of Longhua's shares for 10% of Faraway Supermarket's shares.
Li Dong thought for a while. If he added the mall, it would not be worth it.
But if he did not add the mall, it would be fine.
In the future, Longhua's real estate industry was bigger than Faraway Supermarket.
If Longhua got listed in another two years, its market value might reach 100 billion, and this was under the circumstance that it did not expand much.
As for Faraway Supermarket, if it got listed, it might not be worth 100 billion. Of course, it did not include the mall.
Li Dong looked at it for a while, calculated in his mind, and came to a conclusion.
…
He spent the whole morning in the office.
In the afternoon, Li Dong went out in a low-key manner. He changed to an Audi and asked Tan Yong to drive him to a cafe.
When Li Dong arrived, Yuan Xue had just arrived.
It was September, and the weather in Pingchuan was slightly cooler.
Yuan Xue was wearing a white shirt and a light-colored skirt as usual.
She looked around and saw Li Dong in the hall. Yuan Xue walked over and sat opposite him with a faint smile. "Are you not afraid of being recognized?"
"What's there to be afraid of? I did not do anything shameful."
Li Dong pursed his lips. Yuan Xue chuckled. "I admire your ability to lie with your eyes open. You are not embarrassed at all."
Li Dong smiled bitterly and did not reply. "Have you been staying at your aunt's place for the past two days?"
"Yes. I have to visit them since I am back. Besides, Yueyue insisted that I go shopping with her these two days. It is a good opportunity for me to relax. "
Yuan Xue casually said a few words. When the coffee was served, she took a sip and asked Li Dong, "Have you solved your problem?"
"Almost. Didn't I say that I am fine? I told you not to worry."
"I am not worried. I am planning to rest for two days."
Li Donghao laughed and said, "Your ability to tell lies with your eyes open isn't weak either. We just happen to be on good terms."
Yuan Xue rolled her eyes and ignored him.
They did not speak again. They drank their coffee in silence and looked out of the window from time to time.
Sometimes, when they were together, they did not have to talk non-stop to show that they cared.
The quietness was also a kind of enjoyment.
After a while, Yuan Xue said, "I am going back tomorrow. You don't have to send me off."
"So soon?"
"I took a few days off. If I don't go back, I will lose my job."
"If I lose it, I will lose it …"
Before he could finish, Yuan Xue chuckled. "You want me to lose my job and rely on you in the future, right? It is difficult to find a good job in the current financial crisis. Don't instigate me. Besides, didn't you say that you are very poor last time? If I don't earn some money, what if you have no money to support me in the future? "
Li Dong was helpless and did not say anything else. He replied, "Then I will send you off tomorrow. Take care of yourself. If you are really tired, take a break and relax. It is good to travel and relax when you have time. With your salary, saving it is a waste. "
Yuan Xue rolled her eyes again and gracefully drank her coffee, ignoring him.
…
After spending more than an hour in the cafe, Li Dong wanted to continue accompanying her.
However, Yuan Xue did not agree. She left the cafe early.
It was not that she did not want Li Dong to accompany her. The main reason was that Li Dong was too famous in Pingchuan.
In Shanghai, the two of them were not afraid of being recognized when they walked on the streets.
However, in Pingchuan, they would be recognized before they could even walk a distance. There was no use in disguise.
These few days were the peak of Li Dong's popularity.
All the media and newspapers were looking for Li Dong for an interview. Unfortunately, Li Dong rejected all of them.
But even so, there were still a lot of reporters waiting outside the Distance Building.
At this time, it was not a good thing to have any more gossip. Yuan Xue did not want to appear in the gossip.
Yuan Xue left early. This afternoon, Li Dong had nothing to do.
It was not that he had nothing to do. There were a lot of things to do.
However, Li Dong was not in the mood to do anything. Since he was out, he was too lazy to go back. Li Dong slowly walked along the street.
After walking for about ten minutes, he heard the sound of high-heeled footsteps behind him.
At first, Li Dong did not pay attention. It was not until the sound of high-heeled footsteps that Li Dong turned his head to look.
Under normal circumstances, when a stranger approached him, Tan Yong would appear.
Since he did not appear, it must be someone he knew.
When he turned his head, it was indeed someone he knew.
Zhang Lanyu was wearing sunglasses and carrying a handbag. She smiled faintly and said, "What's the matter? Shopping alone?"
"I'm just looking around. What about you?"
"Me too. I just happened to see you. I didn't dare to recognize you."
Zhang Lanyu was not telling the truth. In fact, she had seen Li Dong long ago. There were several times when she hesitated to approach and talk to him.
However, in the end, she walked over. She did not know when they would meet again.
Li Dong did not think much of it. He smiled and said, "Do you want to find a place to sit?"
"It's okay. Let's go."
Zhang Lanyu refused. As they walked, Zhang Lanyu said, "I thought you would be gentle. I didn't expect it to be like this. Uncle Chen is actually not bad. It's a pity … "
Zhang Lanyu did not say what was a pity. She did not mention the matter about Chen Rui.
Since she did not say it, Li Dong naturally would not mention it.
As they walked from one side of the street to the other, Zhang Lanyu stopped. With a tranquil smile on her face, she looked at Li Dong and said, "It seems that since we know each other, this is the first time we are shopping alone. Do you feel anything?"
Li Dong smiled bitterly and shrugged. "It's not really shopping. As for feeling, does tiredness count?"
Zhang Lanyu stared at him for a while. Finally, she shook her head and said with a smile, "Well, I really thought too highly of myself. Then let's call it a day. If there is a chance in the future, we will walk together again. I just don't know if there will be such a chance. "
Li Dong did not answer. He just looked at her.
Zhang Lanyu looked up at the sky and said, "I am a little tired of looking at this piece of flat land. No matter how big the flat land is, after a few decades, everything will become dull and boring. I am going to leave here. I will come back when I miss home and this piece of sky. "
Li Dong was silent for a moment and said, "Where are you going?"
"I don't know. The world is very big. Let's look around. I am also a rich woman now. Last time you transferred me a hundred million. It is enough to spend however I want. A person's life is actually very short. While you can still walk, let's go around. "
"You …"
Li Dong wanted to say something, but in the end, it turned into a blessing. "Have a safe trip."
"Thank you."
Zhang Lanyu smiled, waved her hand, and left in a carefree manner.
