Li Yanhong hesitated for a while and finally agreed.
One million shares was not a lot, but it was not a small amount either.
Currently, Baidu's shares were only worth 120 USD per share, and it seemed that Li Dong had made a lot of money. He had made almost 20 million USD without doing anything.
Don't forget that Li Dong had to bear the risk of buying Baidu's shares.
If the stock price continued to fall, it was very likely that Li Dong would suffer a loss within a day.
Since he was taking risks, there must be profits.
It was difficult to buy one million shares from the stock market in a short time, and he could only buy it from the shareholders.
Li Yanhong said a few words and finally said. "I will fly to Pingchuan tomorrow to sign the agreement and go through some procedures. The official handover will take place at the end of the month. But I hope you can announce the news now. Baidu needs good news before the market opens. "
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Of course. How can I not be in a hurry? The US stock market will open in a few hours. These few days … Sigh! "
Li Yanhong sighed. Although these people said they did not care, it would be fine. The market would recover soon.
But in fact, everyone was worried about the falling share price.
Ma Yun's side was also very worried now. He wholeheartedly wanted to promote the partnership system and the delisting of Hong Kong, which was caused by too much pressure.
Li Yanhong was worse than him. Baidu's shares had evaporated more than 200 billion RMB in one year, and he could not even cry now.
The loss of money was secondary. The stock market was like this, and there would be profits one day.
But the confidence of investors, employees, and executives had suffered a huge blow. If this continued, it would be more terrible than the share price falling.
These entrepreneurs were most worried about losing the morale of their employees and investors.
If they failed, they could start all over again. But if morale and confidence were gone, the whole team would be useless.
Li Dong laughed. "Sure. No problem. But you will not go back on your words, right?"
"Li Dong, what kind of person do you think I am?!"
Li Yanhong snorted. I will go back on my words. If I go back on my words, I will suffer even more losses!
He had no doubt that if he were to borrow Li Dong's fame to maintain the stock price, Li Dong would definitely come after him if he went back on his word.
For people like them, credibility was more important than anything else.
Not to mention one million shares, it was a matter of one hundred million USD.
Even 1 billion USD cannot make up for the loss of their reputation, and the consequences will be worse than now.
Li Dong said lazily, "Don't be angry, I'm just telling the truth. So be it, I still trust you. Of course, there's nothing I can do if you don't trust me. Who asked me to be so easy to talk to? "
"Li Dong, I've realized that Ma Yun wasn't baseless when he said that you're the most shameless person in the industry."
Li Dong's eyebrows twitched. After a while, he said, "Who said that?"
"Ma Yun!"
"I am shameless?"
Li Dong said angrily, "That Ma Yun still has the cheek to say that I'm shameless. It seems that he's inflated because I've ignored him recently! Tell him not to worry. The investigation team organized by the Central Bank and the China Banking Regulatory Commission will immediately enter Alipay! I've already told him that he's in for a treat. I want to see who's the shameless one! "
Li Yanhong was stunned for a while and said, "Seems like you want to use your actions to prove that you're the best in the industry. Li Dong, I really admire you for this. Never mind, I don't want to get into trouble. Hurry up, the US stock market is about to open. "
"Stop nagging. You should at least wait for me to prepare. Furthermore, the stock market will open at 9: 30 pm, and it's already 10 pm here. What's the rush? I still need to find someone to help you advertise. I'm too embarrassed to advertise for you. "
"Whatever you say. Just don't waste time."
Li Yanhong doesn't want to talk to him anymore. This guy's words are very annoying.
Luckily, she dragged Old Ma down with her before she left, and she hopes Old Ma won't blame her. She couldn't hold back and said those words.
… …
Back at the Provincial Party Committee's compound, Li Dong was humming a tune. He is a completely different person from when he went out.
Shen Qian was playing with her child, and she laughed. "What's wrong? You're in a good mood?"
"I made a lot of money, and I should be happy."
Li Dong laughed and said. "Li Yanhong begged me to buy Baidu shares, and I bought 1 million shares. 100 USD. Don't you think I should be happy? A few days ago, I sold the shares for almost 400 USD. In another year, the shares should rise to 700 USD. It's 7 times the profits. It's nice to have someone send me such a good deal. "
Li Dong was not spouting nonsense. If he remembered correctly, it would not be long before Baidu was split into ten parts.
Before the split, Baidu's share prices had exceeded 700 USD.
Among the 3 companies, Li Dong doesn't remember Baidu's share prices in the past. He only remembers Baidu's share prices skyrocketed when Baidu was listed, and that's why he went to Beijing.
But these few years, Feng Yu has been dealing with Baidu for a long time, and he had forgotten some things.
Feng Yu can't remember the exact numbers, but it's fine.
Anyway, Feng Yu had made profits. Now, he has 100 million USD, and soon, he will make at least 700 million USD.
Over and over again, Li Dong was able to earn about 4 billion yuan.
Feng Yu had made 1 billion from Baidu's shares, and Li Yanhong had made 5 billion RMB from Baidu. Li Yanhong is really generous.
He is not like Brother Ma, and Feng Yu had not made a lot of money.
Luckily, Ma Huateng doesn't know what Feng Yu is thinking. If not, Ma Huateng will beat Feng Yu up.
It was hard to say about Li Dong's other abilities, but his fighting skills were top-notch. There was no one in Ma Yun and the others who did not want to beat him up. Xu Shengzhe also wanted to beat him up many times, but he always had some misgivings and did not dare to do so.
Shen Qian heard what Feng Yu said and asked. "Where did you get the money to buy shares?"
Li Dong paused for a while before replying. "You are right. I don't have money, right?"
Shen Qian rolled her eyes. "Don't you know if you have money or not?"
"What about you?"
"After selling Sichuan Airlines shares, you allocated 2 billion RMB to the airline and gave me the remaining 800 million RMB. But we have invested in a lot of projects recently, and we need to set aside some money to control OPPO. The money we can use now is less than 300 million RMB. Based on the price of the shares you bought, we need to prepare another 400 million RMB. "
Li Dong was a little helpless and said gloomily, "I don't know if I can put it on credit. I don't know if Li Yanhong will agree to it first. Where am I going to get 400 million now? The company's money is all used. I only have 10 million RMB now, and I am really poor! "
Shen Qian is angry and amused. This bastard only knows how to complain about being poor all day long!
Not long ago, the Forbes list was released, and Feng Yu's net worth is over 100 billion RMB!
These few days, the property market is picking up, and Li Dong's net worth will increase again.
Even so, Feng Yu is still complaining about being poor and Hua Xia's tycoons can go die. The richer you are, the more you like to complain about being poor.
Shen Qian can't be bothered to argue with Feng Yu. "If I really don't have money, I can borrow some from my mum. She made a lot of money last time."
"Forget it. I did not let your mum participate in the previous Weibo financing. Your mum almost killed me, and you still want to lend me money? It's a good thing that she did not kill me. I will think of a way myself. At most, I can pay in installments. Li Yanhong will not have a problem. These shares are not from individual investors, and they might even belong to him. It's not a problem for me to owe them for a period of time. "
Li Dong was quite open-minded and did not dwell too much on the matter of money. Finally, he said, "Help me come up with a bragging report to promote Baidu. Of course, I won't be involved in the bidding ranking. I'll mainly talk about their search business. Help me post it on Weibo and ask the international version to republish it. "
Shen Qian shook her head. This guy only knows how to reap benefits without doing any work. Li Yanhong is also generous. Baidu's bidding ranking is in trouble, and she is willing to let Li Dong stay out of this.
She did not say much. It's not difficult to make such a report. Everyone in the business world can do this.
As for the effect, Li Yanhong does not care about it, and Shen Qian does not care.
Anyway, Dong Xuebing can't be bothered to say more.
… …
Shen Qian's report was updated on Weibo and the international version at the same time.
Baidu cooperated with Feng Yu's report, and all the major websites in China reported about Li Dong's confidence in Baidu.
Li Yanhong also made arrangements to promote Baidu internationally, especially in the US.
At around 10 pm Hua Xia time, Nasdaq opened, and Baidu's share prices stopped falling and started to rise.
Now, Baidu's staff and some people in China's financial industry think of Li Dong as a god.
This guy's simple Weibo post has such an effect?
Of course, not everyone thinks this way. Some experts came out to analyze that it's because Baidu's share prices had hit rock bottom, and Baidu's PR is in place to stop the downward trend.
Li Dong didn't really care about these things.
Feng Yu also knows that even without him, Baidu's share prices will not fall further. It had fallen to 120, and if it continues to fall, it will be speculated by others.
It's still difficult to speculate on Baidu's share prices, and some organizations will not let others speculate on it. Baidu has partners and backers, and there are many financial institutions investing in Baidu.
These people will not let others make a fortune from Baidu, and all the money will belong to them.
But no matter what, Li Dong's participation had stopped Baidu's share prices from falling.
Even Li Yanhong believes that Feng Yu is the illegitimate son of Lady Luck, and he is born with good luck.
Li Dong doesn't care about what they say.
He just needs to earn his own money.
Furthermore, he has something to do at night, and he does not have time to care about these things.
When Nasdaq opened, Li Dong arrived at the entrance of the hospital.
He had made an appointment with Yuan Xue to wait for him at the hospital, as he is sick.
Yuan Xue, who rushed back at 10 pm, stopped her car at the entrance of the Provincial Hospital.
Yuan Xue opened the car door and looked at Dong Xuebing. She looked tired, but she still smiled. "Since you are sick, why are you still here?"
Li Dong said with a cheeky smile, "Knowing that you're coming back, I'm almost better. I just finished the discharge procedures …"
"Stop cursing yourself. Why are you so anxious to get me back? Are you going to marry me?"
Li Dong's face fell, and he said dryly. "Don't rush. Take it slow. We are still young."
Yuan Xue glanced at him and didn't continue the topic. She looked around and said, "Get in the car. Let's find a place to sit."
Li Dong looked at the time and said with a smile, "Why don't we go to the hotel? It is almost 11 pm …"
"I told my aunt that we will go to Pingchuan tonight. We will go there later."
Li Dong's mouth twitched. He sighed as he got in the car. "I have been well prepared recently. You have poured a bucket of cold water on me."
"Aren't you supposed to cultivate your mind? Abstinence? Why are you ready? "
Yuan Xue teased. She wasn't as sensitive as she was before.
If it were in the past, she would have scolded Li Dong when he said this.
But now, regardless of whether there were true feelings between a man and a woman, as long as there was love, there would be sex. She did not mind chatting with Li Dong and teasing him.
After Li Dong got in the car, Yuan Xue waited for a while. She started the car when she saw a car following from the rearview mirror.
Seeing this, Li Dong could not help but laugh, "Quite vigilant …"
Yuan Xue said carelessly, "I am not vigilant. I am used to being followed. What if I lose them if I don't wait for them?"
Li Dong's face stiffened. He laughed dryly. "Well …"
"Don't say that. I understand. It is a bodyguard. It is not easy to enjoy the treatment of the rich. It is good. But can you tell them not to appear when I go to the bathroom next time? Meeting the same person in a different bathroom. You are underestimating my intelligence. I always feel that I am despised by your bodyguards. "
Li Dong's face stiffened. He did not answer. He took out his phone and made a call. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Tell your people to pay attention. Next time you go to the bathroom, change the person. Who are you looking down on? Am I an idiot?"
In the car behind, Tan Yong was a little confused. What did he mean?
After thinking for a while, he saw Yuan Xue's bodyguard car in the rearview mirror. Tan Yong reacted.
Then Tan Yong copied Li Dong's action. He made the call and scolded, "Next time you go to the bathroom, remember to change the person. It is always a familiar face. Do you think I am an idiot?"
…
Let's not talk about what those people thought.
Li Dong hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, I have taught them a lesson. Next time, I will definitely change the person. There will be no repetition."
Yuan Xue giggled. As she drove, she said, "Alright, why are you purposely teasing me? Be serious. Why did you call me back in such a hurry? What happened?"
"I miss you."
"Do you think I will take it seriously?"
"Absolutely serious!"
Yuan Xue smiled and shook her head. "Forget it. I will not ask."
Li Dong also smiled. After Yuan Xue drove for a while, Li Dong suddenly asked, "Where are we going?"
"You will know when we arrive." Yuan Xue did not explain and continued to drive.
Seeing that she did not say anything, Li Dong did not ask anymore. He just looked at the scenery on both sides of the road and felt more and more familiar.
