The Zhou family's matter still had some impact on Li Dong.
At least, it made Li Dong feel something on a deeper level.
Those who were good to him today might not be good to him tomorrow.
When it came to investments of interests, he could only talk about interests. It was best not to involve other emotions.
The last thing was to stay away from politics and these families.
In the past, Li Dong had always thought about these things.
But at that time, he did not feel it as deeply as he did now.
The Zhou family had helped him twice. In fact, it was not a big deal, but they dared to make such a condition, and Li Dong could not refute it.
If not for Zhou Yue, he might really be in some trouble this time.
If he agreed to invest tens of billions of yuan, Li Dong would be under too much pressure and could not afford it.
Especially at this time, he still had to take down Gome, and funds were even more scarce.
If he did not agree, he would offend the Zhou family. In the future, when the Zhou family took revenge on him, Li Dong would have nothing to say. Other than Du Anmin, no one would be willing to help him.
If he was the one who was ungrateful, he would not allow others to take revenge on him.
If his reputation was bad, it would be difficult to do things.
That mistake in the past almost caused big trouble.
Now, Li Dong had repaid the debt, and in the future, he did not owe anyone.
As for Qin Hanyuan, because Far away and Jiangbei's interests were linked, Li Dong did not owe Qin Hanyuan anything. He gave Qin Hanyuan what he wanted, and Qin Hanyuan gave him what he wanted.
The others were also business matters, and had nothing to do with personal relationships.
Finally, there was Du Anmin, who was the father-in-law. Whether or not you had any interests linked to him, it was the same thing.
As long as Li Dong followed the rules when investing in Capital in the future, he did not have to think too much.
Fortunately, Du Anmin had left Jiangbei. Otherwise, Li Dong would have to consider moving his headquarters. The melon fields were the most troublesome, and he and Du Anmin could not let go.
Finally, Li Dong understood something.
Therefore, when he called Shen Qian, this was what he said: "Don't ever scam me in the future. Even if you scam Old Du, it's fine. We have to live together for the rest of our lives. Old Du is about to retire, so it doesn't matter if you scam him."
On the other side of the phone, Shen Qian looked confused.
What does that mean?
Who did I scam?
As for cheating his father, he seemed to have cheated a few times, but didn't he fail in the end? What the hell was Li Dong talking about?
It wasn't until Li Dong told her what happened that night that Shen Qian snapped, "Are you crazy? Also, if I want to scam someone, I will scam you, not my dad! You've seen it yourself. Zhou Yue did something for her husband and was ridiculed by you. Later on, people will call her an idiot. I'm not that stupid. Anyway, you're stupid and rich, so it's not a big deal for you to suffer some losses! "
"Is that how you talk about your husband?"
Li Dong mumbled and said embarrassedly, "Forget it, let's not talk about her. This is actually a good thing. It's one less worry for me. Help me think, in these few years, who else do I owe favors to? If I owe them, I should return them as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'll be in a dilemma like today. Luckily, Zhou Yue helped me. Otherwise, I don't know how to resolve this. "
Shen Qian felt wronged for Zhou Yue. How pitiful. In the future, it would probably become someone's catchphrase. Being a woman was really not easy.
On one side was her family, and on the other side was her husband's family. Both had to be taken into consideration.
If anything went wrong, she would not be able to please either side. Being a woman was really not easy.
Thinking back on herself, Shen Qian was glad that her father was easy to talk to and did not blame her.
As for Li Dong, if that bastard dared to blame her, she would cut him up immediately. Dream on!
Thoughts aside, Shen Qian also helped to recall Li Dong's problem.
After a while, Shen Qian said, "If we're talking about favors, you really owe a lot … The more I think about it, the more I feel that your final outcome is to repay them with your body!"
Shen Qian gritted her teeth. Li Dong was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Don't you know? All these years, Hu Xiaorui is one of the people who helped you without asking for anything. Also, although Zhang Lanyu did not help you much back then, she still helped you. Also, although Hu Wanlin is in trouble for her own benefit and herself, you still have to resolve this matter. Finally, Secretary Wu. But Secretary Wu is an upright person, so it's good that you know what to do. "
Li Dong heard that and sighed. He said gloomily, "You scared me. I thought something was wrong. These things are easy to settle. Old Wu doesn't have any requests. He just needs to send him a few tubes of good tea. What's with Zhang Lanyu? I don't even know if I should appreciate it. Besides, Old Zhang is now traveling around the world. I don't even know where he is, so don't be jealous. As for Hu Wanlin, it's just benefits. I'll give it to her. "
"What about Hu Xiaorui?"
Seeing that Li Dong did not mention Hu Xiaorui, Shen Qian asked with a faint smile.
Li Dong said embarrassedly, "I'll resolve this matter. This girl doesn't lack money. Besides, we're friends. It's only right for friends to help each other. Between friends, talking about money will hurt feelings. Why are you so calculative? "
"You're on your own, Li Dong. I'm warning you, if you really gather a table of mahjong for me, there won't be a seat for you at home. The table only has four sides, and with you, it's full now. If there's one more person, think about it yourself. Where should you sit? "
Li Dong thought for a while and agreed, "Your analogy is very vivid."
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. We won't buy a round table. We'll buy a square one. Do as you see fit!"
"Beep, beep, beep …"
Li Dong looked helpless. When did I say we'll buy a round table?
Also, didn't you say you won't be jealous? Now you're like a vinegar jar.
Women, don't take their words seriously. I really thought that you were magnanimous beyond measure.
…
On the 11th of December, Li Dong had to return to Jiangbei.
He could ignore anyone when he went back, but he could not ignore Old Du and his wife.
He did not greet them when he came, and Shen Xuehua even took the opportunity to knock him down.
If he left without a trace, Shen Xuehua would definitely curse him when she got back.
Of course, the possibility of Old Shen scolding him was not high. He still had the demeanor, but the next time they met, there would be a round of ridicule.
He had planned to just make a phone call.
However, when he made the call, Shen Xuehua came straight to him. When he saw Shen Xuehua at the airport, Li Dong was shocked.
After looking at her for a while and confirming that he did not recognize the wrong person, Li Dong said with some doubt, "Auntie, aren't you being too polite?"
Shen Xuehua glanced at him and said calmly, "You're thinking too much. I'm going to Pingchuan too. I'm on the same flight as you."
"You're going to Pingchuan too?"
Li Dong was shocked. What was Old Shen going to Pingchuan for?
Shen Xuehua frowned and said, "Why are you so surprised? This is a public place. Pay attention to your image!
You're not a nobody now. You're the number one private entrepreneur, the richest man, and the spokesperson of Hua Xia's younger generation!
Every action must be in line with the rules.
Character and self-restraint were all reflected in these small things.
"Also, try to wear a suit when you go out in the future.
You're too young. You must appear more mature.
"You're different from those older entrepreneurs. The ancients say that one should stand tall at thirty, not be confused at forty, know one's destiny at fifty, be obedient at sixty, and follow one's heart at seventy.
"You're not even thirty yet. You haven't reached the stage where you can follow your heart and follow the rules …"
When Shen Xuehua started lecturing people, she had a way with it.
In the past, it was not easy to lecture.
Li Dong was not someone she could lecture as she pleased. If she said too much, Li Dong would just ignore her and even rebuke her.
But now, she wanted to try retorting?
Old Shen was feeling smug. 'Aren't you capable?
'Didn't you rebuke me in the past?
'Now you're rebuking me again?
'If you dare to talk back, even if I can't deal with you, I'll let my daughter deal with you!'
Li Dong looked helpless. He could not afford to offend a woman in her menopause.
Logically speaking, Old Shen was almost sixty. Why was she still so talkative? Was her menopause not over yet?
After a while, Bai Su suddenly walked over and glanced at Shen Xuehua cautiously. Then, she said in a low voice, "General Manager Li, a phone call."
Li Dong was relieved and said apologetically, "Auntie, I'll take the call."
Shen Xuehua was a little unsatisfied, but Li Dong had business to attend to, so she did not say anything more.
Li Dong took the phone and walked to the side to answer the call.
…
"Mr. Du, the rumors outside are all nonsense.
8% of the shares is enough to shake Gome's foundation?
If that's the case, then forget it. Gome has no confidence and has lost its confidence. It's not the Gome I want to work with.
They don't even have the most basic trust and confidence. It shows how depressed and desperate Gome is.
At this time, even the cleverest housewife can't cook a meal without rice. Even if I go, it won't be of much help.
The shareholders are at odds, the directors are at odds, and the employees don't trust and have no confidence …
What's the point of being a company?
You even dared to bring in Fukang. Back then, before Director Huang's accident, Gome was in high spirits.
But now … hehe … "
Li Dong shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, Mr. Du. I'll go to Yu Province to see the results of our joint online and offline operations. I don't want to waste too much time on Gome. If I miss this opportunity, it'll be difficult to suppress Suning in the future. I'd rather spend more effort on my business than be entangled with you. That's all I have to say. Consider it yourself, Mr. Du. "
Du Juan was silent for a while before she finally said, "2 billion. Not only me, but several investment banks also disagree with the price. Most of the shares we're selling this time are from investment banks. We're only offering 3%, so I don't have the initiative. "
Li Dong lightly said, "Then I'll talk to Morgan and the others. Let's see if my name, Li Dong, is worth tens of millions.
Once I enter Gome, Gome's value will immediately rise. If you want to die with Gome, then forget what I said.
1.5 billion. If you're not satisfied with this price, then 1.6 billion. I'll give you a better share.
If you want more, then don't talk anymore.
100 million is nothing to me, but I hate this insatiable greed!
Mr. Du, that's all. My flight is about to arrive.
Call me if you've thought it through.
It doesn't matter if you haven't thought it through. Maybe Gome will live a better life … "
Li Dong pondered and directly hung up the phone.
At this time, Shen Xuehua suddenly said behind him, "Do you really want to enter Gome?"
Li Dong was stunned for a moment. He almost forgot that this goddess was still there.
Hearing this, Li Dong coughed and said, "I have this thought."
"I still have 2% of Gome's shares. Do you want it?"
Li Dong was still in a daze. You have shares of Gome?
Shen Xuehua did not mind and casually said, "When I withdrew from the Shen Corporation, I established Xihua Investment and invested in many projects.
Gome was doing well at that time, so I invested a little.
Other than that, I've invested in many companies.
Oh yes, do you think I should withdraw my investment in Jingdong?
A few days ago, they cooperated with Wal-Mart, and I think it's still promising.
But Far away, there's been a lot of activity recently. I'm a little worried that Jingdong won't have enough momentum … "
Li Dong knew that Shen Xuehua had invested in Jingdong.
Back then, Shen Xuehua and a few other investment institutions had invested in Jingdong. Shen Qian had mentioned this before.
In the past, Li Dong did not pay much attention to it. But now, Li Dong asked, "Aunty, how much did you invest in Jingdong?"
"Almost 200 million, and I invested three times. Xu Xin's investment is a bit more than mine, around 300 million. Today Capital owns 15% of the shares, and I own 10%. "Shen Xuehua explained.
Li Dong's mouth twitched. Old Shen, you're good!
Far away, this 200 million investment will be worth more than 2 billion USD when Jingdong gets listed like in Feng Yu's previous life. Even if it's diluted to 5%, it will still be worth more than 2 billion USD.
Of course, that was in Feng Yu's previous life.
Li Dong had completed Jingdong's path, and it's hard to say if he can continue.
200 million for 10% of Jingdong's shares. It's not a lot, nor is it a small amount.
Relatively speaking, it's not a loss.
Far away's Grand Alliance has not been announced and completed, and Jingdong still has room to survive.
It's not hard to estimate 2 billion RMB, especially after they set up No.1 Store and cooperated with Wal-Mart.
Even if they make a move now, Shen Xuehua will still make a profit.
Li Dong thought for a while and said, "We can hold on to it for a while, but we'll make a move as soon as possible after we complete the online integration."
Shen Xuehua did not say anything. Anyway, she will know about Li Dong's news through Shen Qian.
Once Li Dong's online integration is complete, making a move before that should not be a loss.
The two exchanged a few words, and Li Dong said again, "Auntie, are you going to sell Gome's shares?"
Shen Xuehua said calmly, "As long as the price is right."
Li Dong pursed his lips. 'I've already said it. You only have one daughter, and she will be my money sooner or later. Why are you still so calculative?'
Thinking about it, Li Dong was generous this time. He said, "500 million. I'll give Du Juan and the others less than 20 billion."
Shen Xuehua frowned and said, "800 million!"
"600 million, no more."
"Okay, deal!"
Shen Xuehua agreed readily. 600 million was not a loss for her anyway, and it was enough.
As she thought about it, Li Dong said, "I'll write an IOU first, and pay it back in three years."
Shen Xuehua's body froze. After a while, she snorted and said, "Sure, 20% annual interest!"
Li Dong smiled and said, "No problem. Auntie, do you have any extra money? I'll give you 15% annual interest. Borrow as much as you have. "
Shen Xuehua was speechless and didn't reply. She turned around and walked to the gate.
Li Dong sighed. 'I'll give you interest, why do you have to keep me at arm's length?
'I'm really short of money now. Tens of billions is not too much, and billions is not too little either. Anyway, the money will be mine in the end, so what's a little interest?'
