After settling everything, it was already past three in the afternoon when Li Dong returned home.
Today was the weekend, so Little Shitou and Tian Xiaoyu were both at home. The two children were watching TV.
When he saw Li Dong, Little Shitou twisted his little butt and ran over, insisting that Li Dong carry him.
Li Dong chuckled as he picked up the little girl. Then, he glanced at the TV and couldn't help but laugh, "You two girls are interested in this?"
The TV was currently broadcasting the situation of Shenzhou No.7.
Today was the return flight of Shenzhou No.7, and the experts on TV were explaining the meaning of Shenzhou No.7 and the new technology.
Li Dong didn't expect that the two girls didn't watch cartoons, but watched this kind of thing.
Little Shitou grinned and said, "Sister said that if we take this big plane, we can go to the stars, and Chang 'e lives on the stars."
Tian Xiaoyu, who was next to him, blushed slightly. Li Dong didn't laugh at them. The world of children was full of innocence. When they were young, everyone would look at the moon and wonder if there was a fairy Chang 'e living on it.
At that time, with innocence and anticipation, they lived a happier life than when they grew up.
Humans were just so pretentious.
When they grew up, they wanted to go back to their childhood, but when they were young, they also looked forward to growing up quickly. It was extremely contradictory.
…
With contradictory feelings, Li Dong went next door to look for Shen Qian.
The first thing he said was, "Do you want to become younger?"
Shen Qian's face darkened, and she was almost in a state of gnashing her teeth. She said angrily, "Am I that old?"
Li Dong had a dumbfounded look on his face. 'I was just expressing my feelings, why are you so agitated?'
However, he soon realized that Shen Qian had misunderstood. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why are you angry? I was just saying it casually. Just now, Little Shitou told me …"
After briefly explaining the situation, Shen Qian's anger subsided, but she still said indignantly, "You still think I'm old, right?"
"Absolutely not! Besides, look at you, your skin is so soft and tender. People would even believe you if you said you were eighteen … "
"Go to hell!"
Shen Qian cursed. Was he praising her or scolding her?
Shen Qian was too lazy to argue with this guy with zero EQ. She poured him a cup of tea and said, "You didn't accompany CEO Lan?"
"The old man can go by himself. I don't need to get in the way."
Li Dong said casually. He leaned back on the sofa and took a sip of tea. After a while, he said, "The company is now officially on the right track.
Just now, Yuan Chengdao suggested that the four subsidiary companies should set up a group company.
The airline company and Weibo could be separated and directly controlled by the headquarters.
After that, our strategy was much clearer. There were six main areas in total.
Strictly speaking, it was still four major sections. In order to take care of Old Man Lan, the airline company had to do something.
As for Weibo, if it had not been funded, it could have been attributed to Far Away Technology.
But since it's been split up, I'm going to go for a second round of financing when the international version is released and the operation goes well.
After a few rounds of financing, I'll get Weibo listed first and earn some money. "
"You want to get Weibo listed?"
Shen Qian was slightly surprised. She did not expect Li Dong to mention this now.
Li Dong was speechless. "Why would I get financing if I don't get listed? Weibo is not easy to make money, and there are fewer ways to make money. It's different from things like Far Away Mall, PP, and Wan Tong.
The main purpose of Weibo is to control a piece of public opinion that belongs to us.
But in China, public opinion is not easy to control, and it may cause a lot of trouble.
It's better to bring in more funds. If we can get tens of billions by getting listed, I'll even consider selling some of the shares after the ban is lifted.
As long as Weibo still has the name of Far Away, we'll achieve our goal.
With money, we'll invest in internet finance. This is a money-burning business. We'll definitely need to invest in the early stages, and the investment will not be small.
I'm exhausted now, and I don't have the time to get money anymore.
Also, internet finance is not easy to control. We can only rely on our own investments in the early stages. As for financing, we'll wait until we get listed. "
Shen Qian nodded thoughtfully. "Actually, it's good that you have this idea. Far Away is indeed exhausted. What about you? You've been doing more and more recently. If this goes on, you might collapse from exhaustion. It's a good thing that Weibo is listed. It can attract a lot of attention for us. "
"Yeah, I'm a little tired."
Li Dong sighed and smiled. "I once said that I'll be busy until I'm 30 before I retire. But after these few years, I feel that I might not be able to wait until I'm 30. If everything goes well, it's best for me to retire around 25. At that time, you can be free and unfettered, travel around the world, and cultivate your character. "
Li Dong sighed, then smiled and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about these meaningless things first. Let's continue the topic just now. Far Away's path is gradually becoming clearer. Our main sectors are almost ready. Supermarkets, logistics, real estate, and the internet are all connected. It can be considered as a small ecosystem. I don't have the energy to do it for the time being. But you can't just sit around doing nothing after leaving the foundation … "
Shen Qian found it funny and said helplessly. "What do you mean I can't just sit around doing nothing? How can I be idle? Besides, other women go shopping, do beauty treatments, or travel when they have time. You just can't stand to see me relaxing, right? "
"You are different from them.
If I don't find something for you to do, you won't feel comfortable.
Far Away's main sector, I'm not going to touch it for the time being. You left Far Away, and you don't want to come back.
However, apart from the distance, I have something else on my side.
I have half of the shares in East Star Entertainment.
I also have 42% of the shares in OPPO.
These things are all hanging on me, and I don't have the energy to care about them.
Also, there are a lot of promising projects appearing recently. I don't have the time to invest in them, but you can.
So, what I mean is to set up an investment company.
Transfer the shares in East Star Entertainment and OPPO to that company. I will think of ways to raise some money. You can invest in some promising projects. There are many opportunities in 2008.
Take advantage of the financial crisis, and many projects that are difficult to enter are short of money … "
Before Li Dong finished speaking, Shen Qian interrupted. "You mean to be a venture capitalist?"
"You can say so. But not all of them. Venture capitalists only want to make money, and they usually withdraw after they get listed.
Some of our projects can be held for a long time.
It can be considered as a supplement for Far Away, but we have to separate it from Far Away.
In short, it can be considered as insurance. Try not to get involved with Far Away.
I still have a lot of Apple and Tencent shares in my hands, and I will transfer them over. This way, I can control Far Away, and you can be considered a backup plan.
When the day comes that Distance is finished, I'll be able to live a good life, right? "
All these years, Li Dong had left a lot of backup plans for himself.
Previously, he had asked Tan Yong to exchange for some valuables for him. But these things are under his control.
If something happens to him, these things might not be able to be hidden.
He still needs to have a sense of crisis. Although he is getting bigger and stronger, and his status is rising, he still needs to hide his weaknesses.
But he still had to keep a low profile. If one day, Distance really collapsed, as long as nothing happened to them, he would be able to live the rest of his life rich and powerful.
Shen Qian frowned and said after a while. "It is not a problem to set up an investment company. But I am worried that if I make a mistake …"
"Don't worry too much about this. Just ask me if you don't know anything. I have good foresight, and you don't need to worry too much about it. Your job is simple. Just set up a negotiation team. You don't need to participate in any operations. You just need to get shares and dividends. You are free, and the other party is free. That is enough. "
"Alright. I will get it done later. Speaking of which, do you still have Apple and Tencent shares? How much are they worth? "
Shen Qian was a little curious. She really didn't know much about this.
She knows about Baidu shares, but Li Dong sold them for a lot when he needed money.
Li Dong laughed. "When I bought them, their share prices were not high. Tencent's shares were worth about 20 RMB, and I bought 100 million.
Now, it is at 70 RMB, and it did not increase much. It is only about 300 to 400 million.
After we kill Tencent, it will be worthless. If we do not kill them, they will still be worth some money. It depends on the situation.
But when we release the news on WeChat, you can find a chance to dump them. This will save them from falling too much.
As for Apple, I bought it for about 70 USD, and I bought 100 million. Of course, it is in RMB.
Last year, it had risen to 180 USD, and it was a profit. This year, I thought that after the release of the iPhone, the share prices will continue to rise. But the financial crisis caused their share prices to fall a lot.
Now, it is worth about 120 USD, and it is not even half of it. It is less than 200 million.
The total value of these two stocks was about 500 million yuan.
This is all I have. The other shares are East Star Entertainment and OPPO. I am not sure how much it is now. We will see in the future.
Anyway, in another 8 to 10 years, I will have a few billion.
When that time comes, it won't be a big problem for me to be an idle tycoon. "
Li Dong said casually, but Shen Qian is speechless. This guy still has so many things hidden.
500 million?
Only this much?
Hearing Li Dong's words, all the billionaires in China will be furious. 200 million invested in 1 to 2 years, and he is still not satisfied?
Of course, for Li Dong, his investment in stocks is actually a loss.
Far away, in the past 2 years, the returns are very good. All kinds of investments are profitable.
If you really calculate it, it should be more than the returns from stocks.
However, the things that Li Dong casually sold, together with OPPO and East Star Entertainment, are probably worth 1 billion.
Other than East Star Entertainment and 10% of OPPO's shares, no one else knows that Li Dong has other things.
Shen Qian waited for him to finish and teased, "Are you not afraid that I will take everything away?"
"Take it away. At most, I will beg for food. When I come to your house, just give me something to eat …"
Shen Qian pinched him and did not speak again. She made up her mind to keep these things for herself.
It is different from before. She holds the shares of OPPO because she paid for it herself.
But now, Li Dong handed over all his businesses Far away to her.
Once this money is gone, if something happens Far away, Li Dong will not even have a chance to make a comeback.
Now, this money is 1 billion, and it might be more in the future.
If Distance really collapsed, Li Dong would have the capital to make a comeback. Only then would he have the confidence to do so.
Then, he is qualified to say, "What are you afraid of? At most, you can start all over again!"
…
As the National Day approached, everyone was busy, but Li Dong was idle.
Lan Xingguo did not wait for National Day and started to work.
On the 30th, Lan Xingguo brought people to investigate the airport address and the situation of the major abandoned military airports.
Qin Hai's negotiations in Sichuan were almost done. The 25% shares of Sichuan Airlines were divided into 6 parts and sold more or less.
Altogether, he made a little more profit than when Li Dong invested.
Li Dong had made a loss when he invested 2.5 billion. For the past year, Sichuan Airlines had been developing well. It should not be a problem to sell it for 3 billion.
But Far away was in a rush to sell the shares. Also, the companies that were willing to take over the shares were pushing down the price.
Li Dong could not be bothered to waste time with them. In the end, he sold the 25% shares for 2.8 billion. Compared to his investment, he had made a profit.
Before he got the money, Li Dong had already made arrangements.
Two billion to invest in Distance Airlines was definitely enough. If he really wanted to rent planes and airports, not to mention two billion, even one billion would be more than enough.
But since he had decided to do it, Li Dong did not want to be stingy.
SF Express did not have the capital. Li Dong had the money, and he had to spend it.
Far away Airlines had set aside 2 billion, and Li Dong had left the rest of the money for his investment company.
As for Far away's own development, there was still a large sum of money left. Far Away had recently been negotiating a loan, so they were not short of money for the time being.
In addition, Beijing's Zhuang Fan and the others had also signed a buyback contract with Far Away. Just from this alone, Li Dong had made a lot of profits.
It was almost October, and there were a few major events happening Far Away.
Weibo's international version would be launched in October, and so would Wantoon's mobile version. The Far Away Logistics Park would also be opened in October.
In addition, in the supermarket sector, Huarun and Faraway Supermarket's backend had started to connect.
It was expected that the stronghold would be opened around December, and the two sides would officially enter into cooperation.
As for Longhua, Far Away had already subleased or resold some of its stores near Longhua Commercial Square and had officially entered Longhua and Longhu.
In terms of real estate, the second wave of ten Far Away Cities had also been put on the agenda.
Taking advantage of the financial crisis, Li Dong allocated 10 billion yuan. This time, the price of the land was cheaper than the previous time. Li Dong could not help but feel that he had made a huge profit.
Of course, in the eyes of others, Li Dong had lost a lot of money.
If he had known that land prices would fall, he would have saved at least 500 million yuan for the first ten plots of land. What a huge loss!
Everything was going well, and Li Dong also received some good news at the last moment of the National Day holiday.
The Central Bank and the relevant departments of the State Council had begun to discuss Internet finance matters.
The formalization and legalization of the payment system might be released by the end of the year. As for other aspects, they might also carry out pilot work next year!
