On the 24th of September, the Internet Conference continued.
On this day, there was a high-level conference and a charity conference.
Li Dong did not attend. Liu Hong represented Far away.
At the charity conference, Liu Hong also gave a speech on behalf of Far away. When it came to charity, when it came to internet charity, you couldn't avoid Far away.
Far away was the only internet companies that were willing to fork out huge sums of money for charity.
The other companies were willing to fork out tens of millions or nothing. Under such circumstances, it was inevitable that Far away would lead the charity conference.
On this day, although Li Dong did not attend the conference, he did not stop to rest.
He had many things to do. The internet was not Far away's only business.
The construction of the Beijing CBD Far away City project, the integration of Carrefour and Faraway Supermarket, he had to ask and take a look.
…
He busied himself until night time. Only then did Li Dong drag his exhausted body to the Far away North China branch.
Branch conference room.
Zhuang Fan, Lu Mingfeng, Sun Yuehua, Shen Xuehua, as well as two other Tianfang shareholders whom Li Dong had never met before but knew were all present.
The few men were smoking quietly, and no one said anything.
Shen Xuehua and Sun Yuehua did not get along well either. They sat on the left and right of each other and did not interact with each other.
The conference room fell into a strange silence.
When Li Dong entered, everyone finally came back to their senses.
Old Lu stubbed out his cigarette. When Li Dong sat down, Old Lu said in a hoarse voice, "Li Dong, a straightforward person does not beat around the bush. We know what you want to do. But don't you think your appetite is too big? Other than their 900 million and Han Yu's 300 million, you want to swallow all 3.8 billion in one go! You have to know that in this day and age, people are willing to risk their lives for 380,000! 3.8 billion. You know what the consequences are for this sum of money! "
Li Dong glanced at him and said indifferently, "Is this a threat? You said it yourself, people are willing to risk their lives for 380,000. Do you know how much Far away is worth?
I'm putting 100 billion here. Do you dare to take it?
There was no need to say such nonsense. It was meaningless.
If you're not convinced, you can find someone to kill me. It just so happens that I spend tens of millions every year to raise a large group of people. Until now, no one has come to test their actual combat ability.
If you have the ability, give it a try.
Are you out of your mind? Why are you talking about such nonsense at a time like this? Do you believe that before I die, your entire family will be buried with me? "
Li Dong's face was filled with disdain and even a little mockery.
These people were not like Liu Qing and the other fugitives.
In fact, the higher one's status was, the more they feared death and the more timid they were.
Unless they were really at death's door, they wouldn't dare to have any other thoughts or take any other path.
Furthermore, even if they really had such thoughts, Li Dong's security guards were not to be trifled with.
As long as they survived the first wave, they would really all go to hell.
One was a path of certain death. The other was to lose money, but there was still hope of continuing to earn money. Between these two paths, they knew in their hearts which one to choose.
Furthermore, Jia Wenhao and the others were all waiting now.
They were afraid that the evidence would not be sufficient, afraid that the matter would not be big enough. If they were to deal with Li Dong now, the moment they made a move, they would all be wiped out by Jia Wenhao and the others.
Understanding people knew what to choose.
Those who didn't understand that once this matter was over, it would be more or less over. Would Li Dong be afraid of a few threats?
Lu Mingfeng's face turned red. He gritted his teeth and said, "Even a rabbit will bite when it's cornered. Furthermore, we're not rabbits!
If you don't give us a way out, then it's not you who will bury us with you. It's us who will bury you!
Also, you were the one who designed the contract. I don't recognize this kind of contract!
On Tian Fang's side, there were also loopholes in the contract. The shareholders had sole ownership of the project. This also conflicted with the contract signed between Tian Fang and Far away.
This kind of contract would definitely not be valid.
On Tian Fang's side, without the approval of more than half of the shareholders, you won't be able to take away more than half of the project's ownership. Hence, we don't agree to your construction plan! "
Li Dong said lazily, "It doesn't matter whether you agree or not.
As for Tian Fang's side, CEO Shen and CEO Sun have 18% of the shares. However, the voting rights have reached 30%. This is not wrong, right?
Also, Han Yu, Chen Rui, and the others have 10% of the shares. Now, all of them are in my hands.
The voting rights have reached 40%.
Other than these, Chen Siping and the others have also given up their voting rights and handed it over to me.
All in all, Tian Fang's voting rights have reached more than half.
In fact, I haven't reached half, but so what?
I don't care how you Tian Fang signed the contract. However, the 60% ownership of the Far away City project was signed by you yourselves. You can freely transfer it. It's not like it's the same.
If you feel that it's inappropriate, you can sue them.
But now, I have all the shares of Chen Rui, Han Yu, and the others. Together with the support of CEO Shen and CEO Sun, I have already exceeded half.
In summary, there's only one meaning. If you have something to say, you have to hold it in. If you have different opinions, you have to bear with it.
Whether you're happy or not, there's no point in talking nonsense with me.
Now, I'll say this. Far away City will be built with an investment of 40 billion. Does everyone agree? "
After saying that, Li Dong raised his hand.
Shen Xuehua and Sun Yuehua also raised their hands. Only then did Li Dong smile and say, "Alright, the proposal has been approved. According to the agreement, you need to continue increasing the capital by the same amount. As for the exact amount, you can calculate it yourselves … "
Li Dong spoke to himself, not giving the others a chance to refute him.
Lu Mingfeng's lungs were about to explode. However, his main point was not this. He already knew that Li Dong wanted to do this.
The main point was what Li Dong had said previously. "Chen Siping and the others have also given up their voting rights!"
Although he knew that using Tian Fang's share distribution plan to make Li Dong give up was not very likely.
However, he did not expect that even Tian Fang's internal department would have internal strife!
Not to mention Han Yu and the others, how could Chen Siping and the others compromise?
If they did not compromise, they could at least drag it out for another half a year.
Could it be that these fellows did not understand that everyone was bound together for good or ill?
Just as Old Lu was still fuming, Li Dong looked at the crowd and smiled. "Is there anyone who is willing to sell their shares of the project now? I'm a magnanimous person. I won't let you lose everything. CEO Zhuang, 50 million, will you consider it? "
The corner of Zhuang Fan's mouth twitched. I offered 500 million, and you want to give me 50 million? You really dare to dream!
Exhaling, Zhuang Fan said in a deep voice, "If we go according to General Manager Li's plan, Tian Fang can obviously split the investment. You can invest another 40 billion. According to the ratio, I will take 6% of the total project. That means I only need to invest another 2.4 billion. Including the money that has not arrived yet, it will be a total of 4.4 billion. Did I calculate it correctly? "
Li Dong raised his eyebrows and smiled. "If you didn't calculate it wrongly, then CEO Zhuang means that you are willing to fork out the money?"
Zhuang Fan said in a deep voice, "As long as you can fork out the corresponding funds, I, Zhuang Fan, can fork out the corresponding funds! If you want to swallow my 500 million in one go, that will depend on your own ability! You can't fork out the money yourself. Just using a few plans to scare people is still not enough! "
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!"
Li Dong said with a face full of smiles. "Alright, since you said so, what else can I say?
Wait, before the end of the month, I will invest 10 billion and prepare to buy the land.
Remember, the money on your side has to arrive. It's not a lot. According to the agreement, you only need to invest a few hundred million in the first phase.
Half a year later, no, five months later, you still have more than 1 billion to arrive.
If you want to play, I will accompany you to play.
If you can really persist until the end, fine, I will give you however much you earn. I, Li Dong, still have a good reputation.
Even if two years later, I will buy back the land according to the guaranteed 10% annual yield.
But next year, I may continue to build more. You have to keep up, otherwise, don't blame me for looking for trouble. "
Zhuang Fan's mouth twitched again. He couldn't help but say, "You're crazy! With the current situation, you really want to invest in dozens of Far away cities? "
"Do you think I'm joking?"
Li Dong sneered. "Of course I'm serious. As long as you have the money, I will continue to play with you. But I'm not a bottomless pit. With 100 Far away cities as the base, it won't be more than that. If you can persist until the end, the investment won't be too much. A few tens of billions will be enough. The Zhuang is rich. A few tens of billions is nothing. Maybe in the end, it will reach 100 billion. You guys will earn big. "
"I …"
Zhuang Fan really wanted to curse. I'm crazy to play with you like this.
What was the concept of 100 Far away cities?
With a total investment of hundreds of billions, where did Li Dong get his confidence and ambition from?
If he really went on like this, once it collapsed, the Zhuang's savings over the years could be said to be goodbye.
As for whether Li Dong dared to do it, Zhuang Fan didn't really doubt it.
Madman, if he didn't do something crazy, how could he be called a madman?
Whether the Far Away City project could make money, Zhuang Fan was actually quite optimistic, even if the market wasn't good.
But they weren't fools. The government was constantly regulating, and they all knew that.
If they really persisted to the end, there might really be hope to earn tens of billions.
But other things aside, the investment intensity and the speed of return was really not something they could bear.
When they signed the contract for the second half of the year, it could be transferred after half a year. It wasn't without purpose.
Half a year was a deadline. If it exceeded that long, it would be troublesome for them to use the little amount of money they had.
Not to mention, they would have to increase the investment in the future.
And if they really had the ability, who would be willing to cooperate with Far Away City like this? It would be too stupid to just take the money, ignore the management, ignore the project, and only care about splitting the money after a few years.
Companies with tens of billions of funds would rather do it themselves than accompany Li Dong to fool around.
Therefore, once Li Dong's plan started, even if they survived this half a year, they might not be able to find anyone to take over in the future.
Zhuang Fan took a deep breath and said after a while, "50 million is impossible. I'd rather throw it all away."
"Then it's up to you."
Li Dong didn't care. He knew what Zhuang Fan meant. Add a little more, add a little more money, and Zhuang Fan would compromise.
But Li Dong didn't want to add more points. Sell if you want.
If you don't want to sell, then wait.
The additional 10 billion he said was not a joke. At that time, if Zhuang Fan couldn't take out the money, all the losses would be on Li Dong's head. Just wait for the accounts to be settled.
Zhuang Fan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. 50 million, and you don't even want to do it. You're f * cking black-hearted!
Just as he was about to curse, Li Dong looked at Lu Mingfeng and said with a smile, "Director Lu, the same treatment, 30 million. Think about it."
Lu Mingfeng's face darkened and he didn't say anything. Li Dong ignored him and looked at the other two. "You two also think about it. It's good enough to get back 10% of the cost. Or you can be like Director Zhuang, rich and overbearing, and continue working with me. I promise, at most 100 cities Far away. Once this number is reached, the plan will stop. At that time, we should be able to make a fortune. "
The two's faces darkened. Even the Zhuang family didn't dare to get involved in this mess. Would they dare?
Besides, even if they dared, they didn't have the capital.
One of the two men with a crew cut took a deep breath and said slowly, "Li Dong, we lost this time.
If we lose, we have to admit it. We understand this principle.
But killing everyone is a big taboo.
We don't want much. We just want to get back half of the cost, and this matter will be over.
If you want to buy back at 10% now, you're forcing us to fight to the death.
We still have some power here in Capital.
If it really comes down to it, you guys have invested billions in Capital. At worst, we'll die together! "
Li Dong picked his ears and chuckled. "Alright, you guys go ahead. Even if you want to perish together, it'll depend on your abilities.
If it really comes down to it, I'll withdraw my investment.
Since you guys are so powerful in Capital, I admit defeat. If you guys have the ability, I have no opinion.
Of course, the Far away project still has some influence if we really go all out.
Also, we have to see if the Capital's government agrees to it, right?
President Shen, you have to uphold justice for me. "
Shen Xuehua rolled her eyes at him and glanced at the person who just spoke. "Hua Xia still has the country's laws. 'Zhang Tao, don't go all out and try to take me down with you.' Those in the know know that we're talking about business. Those who don't know might think that we're going all out. "
The crew cut man's face instantly turned red. He really couldn't refute what Shen Xuehua said.
The key was not Shen Xuehua, but Du Anmin.
If Du Anmin stood up for Li Dong, it would not be hidden. On the first day of the Internet Conference, Du Anmin was just short of making an official announcement to tell everyone that he had Li Dong's side under his protection.
This kind of overt protection was actually very rare.
It might be seen at the township or county level.
But at Du Anmin's level, it was rare to see someone so direct.
From this, it could be seen that Du Anmin was going all out. At this moment, if you want to touch the Far away project in Capital, you have to get rid of Du Anmin first.
Was that possible?
If it was really possible, and if he really had the ability, they would not even need to discuss with Li Dong. They could just fall out with him.
The few of them did not say anything, and the meeting room fell silent again.
Li Dong did not mind. He stood up and said, "Then let's call it a day. Far away will start the project at the end of the month. Continue to acquire land, and invest 10 billion Far away first. For those of you, increase the capital according to the ratio. For those who did not pay, I will give you a detailed bill. Because of your problems, you will have to be responsible for how much loss you caused. First, deduct the money from the front. If it is not enough, we will continue to calculate. "
After saying this, Li Dong turned around and prepared to leave.
Zhuang Fan, who had not said anything earlier, felt helpless. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "General Manager Li, wait a moment!"
Li Dong stopped in his tracks and turned around with a smile. "Chief Zhuang, do you have anything else to say?"
"I …"
Zhuang Fan gritted his teeth again and sighed. "50 million it is. I don't want to continue to struggle with you. Li Dong, it is a small place. Being so ruthless is not the way to do business. "
"Then I thank you for reminding me. Whether it is ruthless or not, there are people who know better than me. I have always been a person who does not offend me. If someone wants to pick a fight with me, I do not mind being more ruthless. It is my magnanimity to let you recover some of the cost. Do you understand? "
"Then, should I also thank you for your magnanimity?" Zhuang Fan gritted his teeth.
Li Dong smiled and said, "Yes, you should thank me. It is necessary to be grateful."
"I …" Zhuang Fan was speechless. After a long while, he got up and said, "I will not argue with you about this. I will ask someone to sign the contract later. I will leave first!"
After saying this, Zhuang Fan left without looking back.
Although he had expected it, he really lost so much. He also had a splitting headache. He could not wait to bite Li Dong to death.
However, Zhuang Fan knew that it was difficult for Li Dong to bite him now.
Those who had malicious intentions towards Li Dong were almost wiped out this time.
If he went against Li Dong alone, it was no different from courting death.
Since that was the case, there was no other way but to admit defeat. 50 million was also money. It was better to get some back than none.
After Zhuang Fan left, Li Dong looked at the others and smiled. "Come and find me at any time after you have thought it over. If I am not around, you can find President Qi. However, at the end of the month, before the National Day, we will need to inject capital. If you do not keep up, it is your fault. Anyway, I have informed you in advance. "
Old Lu and the others did not say a word. Obviously, they did not want to compromise at this time.
Li Dong did not care and continued to walk out.
Shen Xuehua and Sun Yuehua also followed him out, leaving the others to sulk alone.
They wanted to lose their temper, to explode, to punch Li Dong to death.
However, their remaining rationality told them that it was useless to explode at this time. Li Dong obviously did not care much about their thoughts.
Moreover, they were far away. If they were to really fight, according to Li Dong's personality, the few of them would most likely be beaten up.
…
In the corridor.
Li Dong smiled at Shen Xuehua and Sun Yuehua. "I will transfer the money to Aunt Shen and Aunt Sun as soon as possible. Thank you for your help this time."
Sun Yuehua said with a faint smile, "It is mutually beneficial. Don't worry about it."
As she said that, Sun Yuehua asked again, "What is going on with Chen Siping and the others?"
"Nothing much. They did not pay much, and there were too many people. It would be troublesome to kill them all with one blow."
Li Dong said a few words casually, but did not go into details.
In fact, the matter was simple. Du Anmin had instructed them to let these people go for now.
There was no choice. There were a lot of people this time. These people in the circle, when they heard that there was money to be made, did not necessarily want to go against Li Dong. The key was that it was enough to make money.
This also led to some people pooling a few million or even tens of thousands to join in.
These people did not pay much, but there were a lot of people. If they really wanted to take care of all of them, not to mention Du Anmin and Jia Wenhao, even if they had double the amount, it would not be enough. They might even be killed by others.
Considering this, Li Dong naturally had to make a decision. He would capture the key people and let the others go first.
Anyway, the money was not a lot. It was not that Li Dong did not do anything. He returned about 80% of the money. This taught them a lesson, but they did not completely offend him. It was not to the point where they would fall out with him.
This way, everyone could relax a lot.
As for Old Lu and the others, they had invested a lot. They were obviously the main force. Of course, they could not let go. They had to kill them first.
The majority of the money still lay with these people.
After deducting the 900 million from Shen Xuehua and Sun Yuehua, as well as the money returned by Chen Siping and the others, and the funds needed to buy back the shares, Li Dong could earn at least 3 billion this time.
3 billion might not sound like much, but in fact, it was enough to make some people jump off a building and go to hell to repent.
Li Dong did not say in detail. Sun Yuehua did not ask anymore. She said goodbye to Li Dong and left.
Shen Xuehua watched her leave. Then, she frowned and said to Li Dong, "Don't hang out with Sun Yuehua. She's not a good person! Do you think she's helping you sincerely this time? If you were really caught, she would sell you out. Don't really think of her as a good person! "
Li Dong smiled and said, "I understand. I understand all this. Among so many people, only Aunt Shen is helping me sincerely. I know that in my heart."
Shen Xuehua's face looked a little better. Then, she said, "It's good that you understand."
As she said that, Shen Xuehua seemed to think of something. She said, "According to the distribution ratio that I discussed with Han Yu and the others, 10% of the profits will belong to me. Let's leave it at that for now."
"Ah?"
Li Dong's face was full of confusion. So that's what you mean!
Didn't you have the attitude that I'm the only one who is sincerely helping you?
Turning around and talking about the distribution of profits, this is not appropriate.
Li Dong's mouth twitched. Shen Xuehua did not care about him. She said as she walked, "I'll go back first. When Qianqian is back, I'll ask her to come back to Beijing to take a look."
"Then … Well, take care."
Li Dong did not know whether to laugh or cry. He sent Shen Xuehua off.
He was not too angry or unwilling. Even blood brothers should settle accounts clearly.
Sun Yuehua obtained the supply rights of North Hua District. There were benefits to be gained. Hsu Shengzhe started in the new city. That also needed to be distributed.
Shen Xuehua invested 400 million. In addition, she had offended many people. The possibility of her selfless contribution was not high.
Unless Li Dong and Shen Qianqian were really married, there was still a possibility.
But now, Shen Xuehua would definitely not do such a thing.
If she wanted to participate in the distribution of profits, Li Dong had nothing to say.
But what made Li Dong smile bitterly was Shen Xuehua's previous words. She said that Sun Yuehua is not a good person. I'm the only one who helped you.
As a result, just as Li Dong finished thanking her, she said something like that. This made Li Dong unable to react.
Shaking his head, Li Dong did not continue to think about it.
To be honest, his main goal this time was not to make money.
Making money was secondary. Solving some problems was the main goal.
Of course, it was good to earn a little more. At least this time, he could use more and more funds. He even solved the problem of payment.
After letting out a long breath, Li Dong loosened his muscles and bones.
Next, it was up to Du Anmin and the others. He could focus all his attention on business.
After the Internet Conference ends tomorrow, he should return to Jiangbei.
As for Zhou Yue and Wu Qingping's wedding, Du Anmin reminded Li Dong. He thought it through and did not plan to attend. As long as the sincerity was there, he had plenty of excuses.
