Ping Chuan.
Far away from the building.
The press conference was coming to an end.
The reporters' questions came one after another, and Li Dong spoke with confidence and composure, not feeling guilty at all.
When the reporters asked about wealth again, Li Dong said impatiently, "I've said it before, wealth is not important. 200 billion or 300 billion, it's all in the past. "
Seeing that he did not want to talk about this anymore, the reporters did not force him. Anyway, there was enough explosive news today.
But when the press conference was about to end, another reporter asked, "General Manager Li, in 2008, the world's richest man, Mr. Bill Gates, chose to donate his entire wealth of 58 billion US dollars to a charity foundation. If you succeed in this lawsuit and become the world's richest man, what will you do with your wealth? "
Li Dong laughed when he heard that. "How old am I?"
"Uh …"
"I'm only 24 years old. What's the rush?
It's not too late to talk about this when I'm 42 years old.
Also, our system is different from other countries.
Taxes are too heavy overseas. I don't deny Mr. Bill's greatness, but I have to say that you should understand some things before saying this to me.
Also, Hua Xia's charity foundation system is not perfect.
Mengniu's Old Niu donated his shares, but it has been years and there are still many troubles.
I heard that Mengniu is going to be acquired by COFCO soon. Look, this is the result of not being motivated.
Why not be motivated?
That's simple. I've already donated my shares. Why should I care about the company? It's too troublesome.
So, I'm still working hard. I don't want to waste myself for the time being. I'll talk about these things when I'm older. "
When he said this, everyone was speechless.
He said it as if it was true!
This reason was good enough. I don't want to donate. It's not that I don't want to donate. It's because I'm still young. I still have to work hard and continue to create glory.
You have the cheek to use Mengniu as an example?
Was it because of this matter that Mengniu was acquired by COFCO?
It was because of the incident in 2008. The impact was still there. Helpless, he could only choose to rely on COFCO in exchange for more room for development.
In the end, from Li Dong's mouth, it was as if Old Niu donated his shares because he didn't want to work anymore, so he purposely made Meng Niu like this.
Li Dong didn't care what they thought. He stood up and said, "Take care, everyone. Far away, there will be someone to entertain you. It won't be too late to go back after you've eaten your fill. I still have other things to do, so I won't entertain you. "
After saying this, Li Dong directly walked out.
…
He walked out of the door.
Brother Ma caught up and exhaled. "Next time, I promise I won't appear in front of the media with you!"
Li Dong sneered and said, "You make it sound like I'm begging you.
What did I do to you?
Isn't it good to increase your exposure?
Also, sign the agreement as soon as possible. To put it bluntly, do you not trust me, Li Dong?
I've seen the materials, and I've done my due diligence, yet you're still dragging it on. If you really don't want to cooperate, then forget it. Anyway, the announcement has already been held, and your usefulness is limited.
Don't use delaying tactics with me. It's meaningless. "
For people like Li Dong, it wasn't necessary to haggle over the smallest details.
It was enough as long as everyone could bear it.
Especially when it was just a shareholding and not a merger. It was impossible to investigate the source of any transaction.
They would look at the materials and verify them later. As long as the difference wasn't too big, they could sign the agreement.
Even those small and medium-sized enterprises had chosen to sign the agreement, but Tencent was still dawdling. Li Dong couldn't be bothered to say anything.
Ma Huateng glanced at him and said as they walked, "Let's do it in the afternoon. Actually, I really can't understand you sometimes.
If you really wanted to defeat Taobao, you actually had many chances these few days, but you gave them all up.
Sometimes, you might say you love money, but you might not really love it.
You might say you're unscrupulous, but you still have a bottom line.
You might say you're thick-skinned, but you're not black-hearted enough.
Tell me, why are you always doing this? "
"Idiot!"
Ma Huateng's face darkened. He said angrily, "If you scold me again, I won't be polite!"
Li Dong chuckled. "I'm not scolding you. I'm not that kind of person. I'm just stating the truth. You have to admit it. "
"Get lost!"
Ma Huateng's self-restraint was actually very good. In the circle, especially in the Internet industry, the big shots had good self-restraint.
In the entire industry, the worst one was 361's Old Zhou, and the second was Ma Yun.
These two did not have a good reputation in the industry.
Of course, even if they did not have a good reputation, it was not questioning their character.
The big shots in the internet industry were usually highly educated. Compared to the big shots in traditional industries, they were a level higher in terms of education.
More than half of them were overseas returnees and highly educated.
Hence, even if they chatted casually, it was rare for them to scold others. Ma Yun often scolded others, so people like Ma Huateng often looked down on him.
But now, there was no need to look down on him. Ever since there was Li Dong, Ma Yun was nothing.
Li Dong was a sharp-tongued person. He was specially used to provoke others.
Many well-mannered entrepreneurs were provoked by Li Dong and could not help but scold him. Li Dong's existence had dragged down the quality of the entrepreneurs.
The word "scram" came out of Brother Ma's mouth as soon as he opened his mouth. This had never happened before.
After scolding Li Dong, Ma Huateng took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "I can't be bothered with you. I will sign the contract in the afternoon, and I have to go back tomorrow. Tencent has a lot of things to do, and I don't have time to listen to your bragging. Also, arrange for the opening of Tencent as soon as possible. Also, we are almost done with the fund company. We should be able to complete the integration in March. The fastest we can do is in April. How are things on your side? "
"Soon. I will sign the contract soon. After the contract is signed, I will immediately apply for the online virtual currency fund. Anyway, it will be faster than you. "
Li Dong continued, "At the end of February, UnionPay announced a partnership with Dang Dang to officially enter the e-commerce payment industry. I've been thinking about it for a while and I'm prepared to introduce UnionPay into Distance Mall. Do you have any objections?"
Ma Huateng glanced at him and said after a while, "I won't comment."
Although both parties were about to enter the partnership phase, Li Dong was still in charge of the Far Away Mall. His suggestions were useless.
UnionPay was known as the national team. Li Dong had introduced Tencent and UnionPay at the same time. This guy was getting scarier.
Yes, scarier!
UnionPay had entered the electronic payment industry, but its market share was very small.
In the electronic payment industry, MasterCard was almost the same as Alipay.
Tencent was third.
UnionPay was still a newcomer, even for the national team.
Li Dong had introduced UnionPay. With Far Away Mall's scale, UnionPay would be overjoyed.
However, once UnionPay was dragged into the battle Far Away Mall, they would be in trouble.
Li Dong was about to do something in the internet finance industry. At this time, if UnionPay entered Far Away Mall, what would the outsiders think?
What would the major banking institutions think?
What would the financial institutions think?
Far Away Mall was doing something while they were working together. Should they suppress them or not?
Also, pulling UnionPay over would suppress Tencent Mall's survival.
Li Dong would rather give up a portion of the market to UnionPay than Tencent Mall. His motive was obvious.
Ma Huateng had no reason to reject it.
The reason why Li Dong was said to be terrifying was because this guy used to like to fight alone.
But now, he had learned how to fight as a team.
Since last year, he had been trying to rope in partners.
First, it was Suning, then China Resources, then Longhua and other companies. Then, this year, it was small and medium-sized retail companies, Tencent, state-owned enterprises …
He was weaving a web for himself that was getting bigger and bigger, denser and denser.
Pull one hair, and the whole body will be affected. Once he finished weaving this huge net, Fang Yuan would truly be invincible.
Far Away Mall was worry-free. He, Li Dong, would become the world's richest man and a world-renowned entrepreneur. His personal security would also be guaranteed.
In two or three years, Li Dong would become a real giant.
At that time, his position would be stable and no one would be able to touch him.
It had to be said that while Li Dong was attacking, he was also constantly protecting himself. The two tasks were being carried out at the same time. It seemed that the progress was good.
Although Ma Huateng knew about it, it was not appropriate for him to say anything.
He did not say anything else. Because he had to sign the contract in the afternoon, Ma Huateng went back early to prepare.
…
Far Away Mall ended.
The news of Li Dong suing Forbes became the hottest topic in the media.
However, this did not mean that Far Away Mall only had this much news.
Whether it was the official establishment of the retail industry alliance or the trillion revenue slogan announced by Li Dong in 2009, they were all worthy of attention.
Including the establishment of C2C Mall and the integration of Wan Jia and Pai Pai.
Of course, the ordinary people were interested in the 2 billion red packet that Li Dong mentioned.
If Li Dong did not reach his target, he would give out 2 billion red packets before the end of the year. If he reached his target, it might be as high as 5 billion. This was something that everyone was interested in.
Some people who were preparing to work Far Away Mall were more interested in their own welfare in Far Away Mall.
Three years of working in a 50-square-meter two-bedroom apartment. Even if the property was not in their hands, it was still very rare.
For a time, the various personnel departments in the distance received countless resumes.
…
On the afternoon of March 1st.
Li Dong signed a strategic agreement with the Tencent.
Tencent used Pai Pai Net and 4 billion in cash to hold 10% of the ordinary shares of the e-commerce company Far away.
Of which, Paipai Network would be injected into Far away E-Commerce Company, while 4 billion in cash would be given to Far away Holdings.
This was a sale of shares, not a capital injection.
Far away, the 4 billion would have to be invested in an e-commerce company.
Tencent, according to the ratio, could increase his wealth by 400 million.
However, the two sides had discussed it beforehand. It was a sale, not an injection, so Ma Huateng did not say much about it.
After the agreement was signed, both parties still had a lot of work to do. Ma Huateng did not stay for long. After signing the agreement that afternoon, he left Pingchuan.
On the same day, Distance also signed formal agreements with various large, medium and small retail companies one after another.
After the agreement was signed, Far away Holdings held 72% of the shares of Far away Retail Group.
The shares of various retail companies and 20% of Longhua's shares would be controlled by Far away Investment Company.
So far, Li Dong held 100% of the shares of Far Away Logistics Group and Real Estate Group.
Retail Group, 72% of the shares.
Far away Technology Group, 40% of the shares of Weibo, 90% of the shares of Far away E-Commerce Company, and 100% of the shares of other internet companies.
In addition, he also held 100% of the shares of Far away Investment Company, and 60% of the shares of Far away Security Company. The security company was established in cooperation with Jiangbei Public Security Bureau and the Armed Police Force. Both parties held 40% of the shares.
Far away's share structure gradually became clear.
However, this clarity made people even more surprised and appalled!
Far away, it was rare for Li Dong to be able to maintain absolute control at this scale.
Two of the four sub-groups maintained independent controlling rights.
As for the other two companies, they also lost very little shares.
Weibo held the least shares. However, Weibo had brought too many benefits to Li Dong.
Including Gome!
It could be said that even now, the distance still belonged to Li Dong alone.
Of course, according to the law, Far away controlling rights did not allow an individual to hold all of the shares.
Li Dong's parents each held 5% of the shares in Far away Holdings.
Far away Holdings, not Far away Sub-Groups.
Distance Holdings currently only had the three of them as shareholders.
However, no one in the outside world cared about this. It was not like everyone did not know whether Li Dong had introduced capital institutions to hold the shares.
As for who the other shareholders of Far away Holdings were, they did not want to know and were too lazy to know.
In the eyes of outsiders, they were just puppets.
Whether they were people Li Dong randomly found or relatives, in fact, these things still belonged to Li Dong. There was no difference.
…
On the same day, Far away was not the only one making a move in the country.
On this day, OPPO officially released the OL02 smartphone. Compared to the first phone, the second model did not have many more features. However, some hardware features were improved.
The internal memory was increased, the battery had a longer standby time, and some minor improvements were also made.
In addition, the key point was that the OL02 phone included TD phones!
TD phones were exclusive to mobile phones. This was also the standard for mobile 3G.
This was Hua Xia's unique 3G standard system. Unlike Unicom and Telecom, it adopted an international version.
Previously, due to technical and time constraints, the OL01 phone was not introduced to TD phones.
This also meant that it did not support mobile users.
Not every user was willing to change their card. Hence, since the first smartphone was launched on New Year's Day, the smartphone user market did not experience explosive growth.
As of March 1st, only about 6 million OL01 phones were sold. In fact, as early as January, the figure was already close to 5 million.
In the next month, the sales volume was less than a third of the previous month.
Including some counterfeit phones, Hua Xia's smartphone users were less than 8 million. Compared to the entire smartphone market, it was not worth mentioning.
On March 1st, the OL02 phone's sales volume exceeded 800,000!
Although it was less than the first model's sales on the first day, in fact, the first model had been in the works for a long time before the sales figures exploded.
The second model supported mobile users, and it had more endurance.
…
On the 1st, it was close to 9pm. Li Dong was still in the office.
At this time, Zhang Xiaolong also went to look for Li Dong.
Zhang Xiaolong only had one purpose, and he asked. "Chairman, when will WeChat be officially launched?"
Although Li Dong was exhausted, he still asked Zhang Xiaolong to sit down. "Soon. Bear with it for a while more. There are less than 10 million smartphone users now. Bear with it for a few more days. In the middle of the month, many manufacturers will release their new phones. The Association, Huawei, and ZTE will all release their new phones. The last time I spoke to them, they did not use our WeChat app, but the Pea Pod mobile app! "
Li Dong smiled. "At the end of the month, the smartphone market should exceed 15 million users. When the market reaches 20 million users, we will launch our WeChat app on the Pea Pod!
This way, we will not attract too much attention, and the effect will not be bad.
Currently, there are not many apps for smartphones in the market.
As long as we launch a new app, people will definitely pay attention to it.
Let's divert some attention and get through the initial stage.
When Tencent notices it, we will publicize it on a large scale!
They will not be able to catch up in time. Also, it should be May by then. In May, we will launch the virtual currency fund. Unless Ma Huateng gives up, Tencent will be distracted and will be slowed down by us again.
After three months, the foundation will be set, and the smartphone market will reach 50 million users!
Even if we cover half of the market, we will still have 20 million users. That will be enough to win.
No matter how Tencent responds, it will be too late. "
Zhang Xiaolong licked his lips. "I am worried that it will not have the desired effect. QQ's user loyalty is much higher than PP. Tencent is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if we launch WeChat, they will still be able to get good results if they launch the same app three months later. "
Li Dong raised his eyebrows. "You don't even have this much confidence?
So what if Tencent is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?
Do you think their user loyalty is still so high now?
Instant messaging is no longer a simple instant messaging app. Tencent's other industries have been suppressed by us, and their user loyalty is already superficial.
As long as we defeat them in the mobile market, even if Tencent is not finished, it will not matter.
So what if we can compete with them in the PC market!
In the future, mobile will be the king!
Furthermore, WeChat and QQ can coexist. But as time passes, QQ's old users will be lost, and new users will not know about QQ.
The 90's generation has gradually entered the stage, and Tencent has a bigger market share than us among the 70's and 80's generation.
But among the 90's generation, they can't compare to us!
They are in the past, and we are in the future. There is no conflict between the two, and success always belongs to the future generation! "
Li Dong had given up competing with Tencent in the PC market among the 70's and 80's generation. The 90's generation was more likely to accept Far away's products.
Far away was only 15 or 16 years old when it was popular. At that time, Tencent was not deeply rooted in their lives and hearts.
Therefore, in terms of competitiveness, Far away had a bigger advantage than Tencent among the 90's generation.
Hearing Li Dong's analysis, Zhang Xiaolong heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, Zhang Xiaolong laughed. "PP is indeed very popular among the 90's generation. Let's not talk about other things, just based on your emoji pack, us old people often use it. Young people like to use it more."
"What?"
Li Dong was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said, "What emoji pack?"
"You don't know?"
Zhang Xiaolong's mouth twitched, and he immediately got up. "Chairman, I still have something to do, I'll leave first."
After saying that, Zhang Xiaolong broke into a run.
Liu Hong was crazy!
The boss did not even know, and this guy dared to use the boss's emoji pack. Was he not afraid of death?
He thought that Li Dong knew and did not care, so he said it.
But looking at Li Dong's expression, it was obvious that he did not know.
As Zhang Xiaolong ran, he thought to himself, 'Should I inform Liu Hong to hide for a few days?'
…
After Zhang Xiaolong ran, Li Dong raised his eyebrows slightly, and muttered, "What emoji pack?"
Li Dong opened his phone and looked, but he did not see his own emoji pack, and could not help but feel suspicious.
But it was already late, and Li Dong could not be bothered to ask again. After thinking about it, he put the matter aside and asked later.
