On June 7th, Li Dong and his party finally returned to Pingchuan.
There were gains and losses on the trip to the capital. The biggest gain was naturally the 500,000 original shares of Baidu.
Of course, this trip also emptied Li Dong's assets.
For the 500,000 shares, Li Dong paid at least 75 million yuan in cash.
After returning to Pingchuan, Li Dong planned to rest for a day and go to the supermarket the next day.
However, less than half an hour after arriving home, Liu Qi pushed Sun Tao in a wheelchair to the door.
Li Dong thought that Sun Tao wanted to talk about money. When he was about to speak, he saw Sun Tao's face turn livid, "General Manager Li, you must be very excited now, right?"
Li Dong frowned slightly and did not say anything.
Seeing that he did not speak, Sun Tao suddenly said angrily, "Did you go to buy Baidu's shares?"
Li Dong was shocked. How did Sun Tao know?
Only Zhou Haidong and Zheng Long knew about the acquisition of Baidu's shares.
However, Li Dong believed that they would not talk about it. He felt that he could still control it. How did Sun Tao know?
As if he saw Li Dong's doubts, Sun Tao threw a newspaper on the tea table in front of Li Dong with a black face.
"Read it yourself!"
Li Dong frowned and picked up the newspaper to read. Soon, he found what Sun Tao wanted him to read.
"Weekly Morning Post."
Title: The youngest billionaire?
Mysterious young man spent hundreds of millions of yuan to buy Baidu's shares … According to this newspaper, the mysterious young man is from Jiangbei. He is in his 20s and is worth more than 100 million … His surname is Li, and he works in the retail industry. It is said that he is a college student in Pingchuan …
There was an illustration at the bottom of the report. It was a photo of Li Dong and Xu Yong shaking hands.
This was the scene when Xu Yong sent Li Dong out of the Zhonghe Building after signing the contract. From the angle of the photo, it seemed that it was taken outside the building.
Although the photo was a little blurry, anyone who was familiar with Li Dong should be able to recognize Li Dong.
Li Dong did not speak after reading the newspaper.
After a long time, he slammed the newspaper on the coffee table and cursed, "Damn it, do these entertainment tabloids have nothing to do? Why do you have to get involved in everything? "
Sun Tao frowned and interrupted, "General Manager Li, now is not the time to be angry."
Li Dong was exasperated. He sat down with a gloomy face and said nothing.
The deal between him and Xu Yong was not top secret, so ordinary people would never know it.
Xu Yong, Gu Honglou, lawyers, Baidu's board of directors...
To be able to find out so much about him, there must have been a mistake among these people. Someone must have leaked his information!
This entertainment tabloid was just short of directly naming him by name. They even knew what industry he worked in.
Even in Pingchuan, not many people knew what Li Dong did for a living.
After lighting a cigarette and taking a few deep breaths, Li Dong said with a fluke, "Even if the news is leaked, it should have no impact, right?"
"Is General Manager Li deceiving himself?"
Sun Tao was angry and said with a black face, "Far away's family assets are known to many people. Can't they guess where the money to buy the shares comes from?"
"Once they know that General Manager Li misappropriated the goods and shopping funds, General Manager Li should know the consequences without me saying anything! I am 100% sure that suppliers will come to collect the money. If there is a careless run on the shopping vouchers, Far away may face bankruptcy liquidation! "
Li Dong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
Sun Tao snorted, "General Manager Li, don't expect to tell those people that Baidu is a potential stock, and the stock will soar when it goes public …"
"Nowadays, only money is reliable, other stocks are unreliable! Those suppliers and you say that Baidu's shares are valuable? Will those citizens with shopping vouchers listen to your explanation that Baidu's shares will soar? "
Sun Tao's words broke Li Dong's last fantasy.
Li Dong knew that what he said was right. Those suppliers and ordinary citizens didn't care whether the shares were worth hundreds of millions or billions. The only thing they knew was that Far away had no money.
Far away had no money, so could they get the goods back?
Far away had no money, so would the shopping vouchers in their hands become waste paper?
These were the key points they cared about. As for you, Li Dong, hundreds of millions or tens of billions in the future had nothing to do with them.
Li Dong rubbed his cheeks, trying to wake himself up.
After a while, he said, "Contact the bank immediately. I want a loan!"
It was too late to say anything now. He could only think of a way to get through this crisis.
Although what Sun Tao said might not happen, what if it did?
You can't just rely on luck. No matter what happens next, it was better to be prepared.
Sun Tao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. The reason why he had such an attitude today was that he was afraid that Li Dong would not take it seriously.
Now it seemed that Li Dong was still clear-headed. Sun Tao thought for a while and said, "The bank needs time to get a loan. What if the news spreads quickly?"
Li Dong was annoyed. He was going back to Pingchuan in high spirits. Who knew that he would encounter this trouble?
Although it was troublesome, he still had to deal with it.
Li Dong paused and said, "Inform the local newspapers first. Tell them not to reprint it. It doesn't matter if they spend some money."
Weekly Morning Post was a tabloid newspaper, and it was a tabloid newspaper in Beijing.
No one would read Pingchuan. It was an accident that Sun Tao saw it.
Although Sun Tao did not think it was useful, he still nodded.
He said, "Should I contact the CCB?"
Li Dong nodded and said, "Do it as soon as possible."
He was not worried about getting a loan. Far away's scale and cash flow, as well as working with the CCB, it was easy to get a loan.
The key was time. Li Dong was afraid that there was not enough time.
...
In the era of the Internet, news spread faster than Li Dong imagined.
On the morning of the 8th, Li Dong was about to go out to meet the CCB leaders when his phone rang.
Li Dong looked at the number and answered the call.
Meng Qiping said excitedly, "Brother Dong, you really don't need a bed warmer?"
Li Dong was speechless and said, "Get lost!"
Meng Qiping did not care and said excitedly, "Damn, I can't help it! Brother Dong, the person in the photo is you, right? It must be you! A billionaire! Hahaha, I actually know a billionaire … "
Li Dong felt a headache. He knew the news could not be hidden, but there was no need to be so fast!
The tabloids only reported it yesterday. Today, even a lazy person like Meng Qiping knew. This was too much.
Li Dong did not answer and asked, "Where did you see it?"
"The campus forum. The university forums in Pingchuan are going crazy …"
Without waiting for him to finish, Li Dong hung up the phone.
Taking a deep breath, Li Dong calmed himself down. Let it spread.
Now that it had come to this, there was no point in saying anything. It was better to settle the loan first.
Even if the suppliers knew the news, they would not come to ask for money so soon.
After all, Far away was a big customer. If they dared to ask for money without confirming the authenticity of the news, they could forget about doing business with Far away in the future.
After delaying for ten days to half a month and waiting for the loan to be approved, Li Dong was not afraid of them asking for money.
However, what Li Dong was worried about now was how much he could get.
If it was too little, Li Dong would not be confident if he did not have a minimum of twenty to thirty million.
