Li Dong walked off the stage, his complexion returning to normal.
Yuan Chengdao and the rest quickly caught up, and Chen Lang said, "General Manager Li …"
Li Dong waved his hand and said, "Send the guests off first, we'll talk later. In addition, Wumart, Huarun, and a few others will immediately start discussing the transfer. Tell them that if the conditions are not suitable, I'll directly transfer it to a medium-sized company, and let them continue to fight in the north! "
Chen Lang smiled bitterly. Did a medium-sized company have the ability to take over?
Before he could say anything, Li Dong said, "It's not limited to retail companies. Now, real estate companies like Wanda and Vanke also want to enter the retail sector. Suning also wants to enter the department store sector, so our options can continue to expand! I won't say much about the specifics. You guys decide. If the losses are too high, then there's no need to talk about it. "
After saying this, Li Dong did not care about them anymore. He walked to Chang Yuanshan and Wu Changguo and smiled. "Mr. Chang, Mr. Wu, let me send the two of you off."
Wu Changguo glanced at him, frowned, and did not speak.
Chang Yuanshan said in a somewhat heavy tone, "General Manager Li, have you really made up your mind?"
"There's no other way."
"Sigh."
Chang Yuanshan had a splitting headache. A storm was coming!
Now that Li Dong had directly withdrawn from Beijing, would he withdraw from Jiangbei?
Very likely!
The protection that Jiangbei could bring to Far away was far inferior to important places like Shanghai.
This time, Far away would most likely choose Shanghai because in the country, only Shanghai could not ignore Beijing, and they did not need to act according to the other party's mood.
Far away gave up on Beijing and chose Shanghai was a logical choice.
But knowing this was one thing, Chang Yuanshan still wanted to continue fighting for it. He thought for a while and said, "I heard that Far away was preparing to relocate Gome's headquarters. Has General Manager Li considered returning to Jiangbei?"
Li Dong smiled. "This will have to wait and see. But Far away's headquarters is in Pingchuan, so it's actually the same. After Gome merged into the retail group, it can only be considered as our subsidiary. If we continue to move to the plains, the resources will be wasted. "
Even though he knew that this was the answer, Chang Yuanshan could not help but feel a little disappointed.
Without saying anything more, Chang Yuanshan and Wu Changguo walked out together.
Li Dong chatted along the way and sent the two of them to the parking lot. When Chang Yuanshan saw Wu Changguo standing still, he immediately understood what he meant. He called out to Li Dong and got into his car.
After he left, Wu Changguo frowned and said, "Don't think too much when you're running a business! If he didn't have a guilty conscience, what was there to face? Who are you trying to impress by choosing to retreat this time? "
Li Dong snorted. "Don't say that. I'm just doing it for others to see!
Am I that easy to bully?
I have money. I don't care. If I lose money, so be it.
If it weren't for the fact that I was Far Away, I would have left a mess behind and let them play.
Tell me, have I ever wronged anyone in all these years of doing business?
Whatever requests the local government has, I'll try my best to satisfy them. If there's a waiting quota, I'll accept it without a second thought.
As a retired soldier, I have never refused a job in Faraway.
Taxes, I've missed quite a few reports.
The industries I invested in, other than the real estate company that had no money last year, I paid for everything else with my own money. Who can say anything wrong with me doing this?
In the end?
I have a lot of things to do and really don't have the time to talk to them.
Just be straightforward. I'll leave, alright?
Far Away only withdrew from the department store industry. It's not everything. I'll take a step back now. When I can't retreat anymore, I'll leave a mess for them to clean up.
I'd like to see if these people are really so unscrupulous.
So what if they fight with me and win?
If they lose, I'll make them suffer the consequences! "
Wu Changguo berated, "Lower your voice. How can you speak like that in front of me?"
Li Dong shrugged and said, "Aren't you treating me like an outsider? It's just that you don't have a daughter. Otherwise, you can even be my father-in-law … "
"B * stard!"
Wu Changguo was so angry that he wanted to laugh. After a while, he scolded, "Who said I don't have a daughter?"
Li Dong immediately coughed and said awkwardly, "Do I?"
Wu Changguo could not be bothered to explain to him. After a while, he sighed and said, "It's good that you've thought it through. Take a step back, then.
But it's better for the headquarters to stay in Jiangbei. Leaving your hometown is not as easy as you think.
When you first go, others will definitely be enthusiastic.
After a long time, when you've taken root, that might not be the case anymore.
A small place has its advantages. Mr. Qin and the rest are doing their best to deal with Far Away.
If you go to other places, you won't have such treatment.
When that time comes, it'll be too late for regrets. "
Li Dong nodded and said, "I understand this. Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I'm the king of the mountains here. If I go to the big cities, I won't have that status. Look, I'm living a good life in Jiangbei. If I go to Shanghai or other places, I'm afraid I'll have to live with my tail between my legs. "
Wu Changguo's face darkened and he frowned. "You've already come this far, so you have to restrain your words. What king of the mountains? What do you think Jiangbei is? If I hear you say this again, I'll send you in to sober up first. "
After that, Wu Changguo did not continue the topic. After some consideration, he said, "Also, if you don't plan on leaving, go to the provincial government for a few days. Also, you're already a NPC. Have you participated in any meetings? Don't think that meetings are useless. You still have to go when you need to. "
Li Dong reacted after a while. "You're right. I'm already a NPC. I almost forgot."
Wu Changguo was a little tired and could not be bothered with him. He turned around and left.
When he reached the car, he heard Li Dong ask curiously, "Senior, how old is your daughter? Is she beautiful?"
Wu Changguo's face darkened. He opened the door and got into the car.
Meanwhile, his chauffeur was speechless. Awesome! He even dared to tease Blackface Wu. He had to give it to him.
Li Dong did not even bother with Wu Changguo's ignoring him. He said embarrassedly, "I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to ask if you're married. If not, I'll introduce you to someone. I know plenty of young and talented men. I guarantee you they'll be better than you … "
"Drive!"
Wu Changguo could not be bothered to reply. This scoundrel. No wonder so many people wanted to beat him up.
At this moment, even he wanted to beat him up.
…
Old Wu's car had just left.
Shen Qian walked over and asked softly, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Oh right, where's my mom and the rest?"
"They got in the car first. Old Zhou is here."
Knowing that his parents had gotten in the car, Li Dong did not ask anymore. He held her hand and said with a smile as they walked, "It's just a few billion worth of investment. It's nothing.
Actually, I wanted to retreat a long time ago.
Not only did Old Du not give me any benefits, he was also pressuring me. I'm very unhappy.
Think about it. If I go to other places and they don't give me any benefits, I can just go to them and ask for it.
But if Old Du doesn't give me any benefits, I'm too embarrassed to ask for it.
Now, I'll get back the losses from Shanghai. It won't be a problem.
When that time comes, I'll see where Old Du can put his face. "
"Don't call me Old Du!"
Shen Qian rolled her eyes at him. This guy was always so unscrupulous.
Since Li Dong had made up his mind, she did not say anything else. She changed the topic. "Oh right, why did you ask about Mr. Wu's daughter?"
"Did I?"
"I heard everything!"
"You must have heard wrongly. Think about it. Old Wu is a black-faced Master Bao. His daughter must be black-faced too. Compared to my wife, she can't be compared … "
"Glib tongue!"
"…"
So far away's Annual Gala came to an end as the two bickered.
So far away's impact on the Annual Gala would not end immediately.
…
That night, everyone was talking about So far away's Annual Gala on the Internet and in real life.
Li Dong had revealed too many things during this Annual Gala.
The retail industry alliance, the use of new technologies, So far away's withdrawal from Beijing, the merger of Gome and So far away's retail stores, and Weibo's third round of financing to get listed …
Any one of these incidents alone would be enough to attract attention.
Everyone was talking about So far away's Annual Gala.
Everyone had their own focus. Ordinary people were more concerned about the gifts, red envelopes, the scale of the Annual Gala, and the celebrities …
The only regret was that Li Dong was a little stingy.
He did give out bonuses. Some outstanding employees who were commended received bonuses during the employee commendation period.
But the total amount was less than 10 million.
This was a far cry from the rumors that Li Dong had prepared hundreds of millions in cash and distributed them on the spot.
Because of this, Li Dong had been ridiculed a lot. He was scolded for being stingy on the Internet.
…
When Li Dong returned home after chatting with the guests for a while, he almost vomited blood when he saw the criticism.
These bastards. Did they know how much money he had spent this time?
There was no need to talk about celebrities. It was East Star's friend who did not receive any fees. Li Dong had thickened his skin and did not give any money.
But just the preparations for the Annual Gala alone had cost more than 30 million.
As for the gifts, according to the market price, they were worth about 50 million.
And the red envelopes were worth nearly 100 million!
Including the cash rewards on the spot and some other rewards that were not given out on the spot, he had spent more than 200 million in this Annual Gala!
How many companies could afford a price of more than 200 million?
For this Annual Gala, Li Dong had tightened his belt and ate steamed buns for his meals.
These bastards. How dare they scold him for being stingy!
Li Dong, who was in a bad mood, immediately posted on Weibo and angrily rebuked the netizens. "I spent more than 200 million for the Annual Gala. How am I stingy? Ali's 10th anniversary is coming up. Look at how much they spent. Is there anyone in the industry who is more conscientious than me, Li Dong? Doesn't it hurt to scold me for being stingy? "
The moment the Weibo post was posted, it instantly became a trending topic.
And the replies on Li Dong's Weibo were all over the place. In any case, no one felt that their conscience would hurt.
Tycoon Dong was so rich, but he only spent 200 million for the Annual Gala. He was too stingy!
At the same time, Ma Yun, who had just entered the hotel, said tiredly, "I've decided. I'll kill him tomorrow. I've invited him to the hotel. I won't rest until I kill him!"
Ma Huateng, Liu Chuanzhi, and the others looked at him and left silently.
Damn it. You've already killed him hundreds of times, but I didn't see you do anything. Can't you be more reliable when you're bragging?
