Li Dong soon got the news about Hu Ming showing off to others.
He had no intention of asking about this, but Hsu Shengzhe called him in the middle of the night.
While on the phone, Xu Shengzhe really could not find anyone to vent his anger on, so he decided to find the culprit, Li Dong.
Hsu Shengzhe scolded Dong Xuebing the moment the call connected. "What's going on? Why do you have to show off to me about everything? What's the meaning of this? Li Dong, the business world was not like this in the past. Who doesn't make a fortune quietly and show off to the world?! But ever since you appeared, all kinds of things have happened. If you made a fortune, then so be it. I am not jealous, so why do you have to show off to me? Old Hu is such a jerk. My old man can't even speak, but he still deliberately called me to show off in a roundabout way … "
Hsu Shengzhe was full of resentment. He started complaining the moment the call connected.
Li Dong, who had just fallen asleep, heard a few sentences and hung up the phone.
Damn it. Who has the time to listen to your nonsense in the middle of the night?
Li Dong had learned how to hang up the phone without making a sound.
Old Du often did this, and Ma Yun had also learned how to do it. Ma Huateng had also done it once before. Now, he felt that he should also learn how to do it.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Li Dong went back to sleep.
Shen Qian, who was beside him, was woken up. She was about to ask when Li Dong caressed her stomach. "Go to sleep. Ask me tomorrow. Hsu Shengzhe, that bastard, has nothing better to do than to complain to me."
Shen Qian did not say anything after hearing this. She leaned her head against Li Dong's shoulder and closed her eyes to continue sleeping.
…
The next day, Li Dong woke up early in the morning.
Today was Li Qing's wedding. Since they had agreed to go, they couldn't be too late. There was no need to rush the finale.
Early in the morning, Li Dong called Hsu Shengzhe back.
After a while, Hsu Shengzhe finally picked up the phone and said angrily, "It's so early in the morning, is there something wrong with you?"
Li Dong snapped, "Didn't you also harass me last night? Cut the crap. What's going on? I didn't understand last night. Say it again. "
"I @ # ¥…"
Hsu Shengzhe cursed for a while before he said dejectedly, "Damn it, getting angry with you guys makes me look stupid.
I wasn't angry, and I didn't want to be.
The matter is very simple. Old Hu's daughter is as good at bragging as you. She said that East Star's listing would have a market value of 20 billion yuan.
Then, Old Hu called. In any case, he kept bragging.
It's one thing to brag, but you have to use me as a comparison. What do you mean?
You tell me, who did I offend?
I'm just a second-generation rich kid, and I didn't bully anyone. Why are they bullying me?
Do you think it's easy for me?
… … "
Hsu Shengzhe complained for a while before he asked curiously, "Do you think East Star's market value will be 20 billion yuan if it goes public?"
Li Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "Listing? East Star is going public now. Who said that? "
"Old Hu said it. He said that Growth Enterprise Market will be launched, and Xiaorui wants to give it a try."
"Now?"
"I don't know."
Li Dong tapped the coffee table lightly and paused for a while before he said, "It's not the right time to go public now. It's useless to pursue a high market value. If we want to go public, we should go to the main board. Currently, no film and television company has been listed on the A-share market. Growth Enterprise Market is just a transitional period. East Star doesn't lack development funds, and it has not reached a bottleneck yet. There's no point in going public. Becoming the first film and television company to be listed on the A-share market is a serious prospect. Why did Xiaorui want to go public on the Growth Enterprise Market? "
"How would I know?" Hsu Shengzhe was speechless. "I'm just asking if you can reach this market value. Why are you talking about this with me?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "20 billion should be about the same.
East Star is actually quite famous in the film and television industry. Especially after last year's East Star Charity Night, it became even more famous.
East Star doesn't lack much now. There are two main points. First, it lacks some internationally famous big-name stars and directors.
Second, it lacks a blockbuster film and television work.
As for other things, it actually doesn't lack any, including a series of copyrights. East Star has hoarded a lot of copyrights in the past two years, and it will be worth a lot of money in the future.
If the above two points are filled, what is 20 billion?
East Star is also grabbing both online and offline markets. Of course, it's different from our online and offline markets. I'm talking about the cinema and film industry.
All in all, 20 billion is definitely underestimating East Star. "
"It can't be, right?"
Hsu Shengzhe said with some doubt, "Why are your companies more valuable than others? Is it fun to brag in front of me?"
Li Dong withdrew his shares from East Star without making a statement.
Li Dong was too lazy to do this. East Star still needed Li Dong and Far away's fame to support it for the time being.
Shen Qian mentioned this last time, but Li Dong interrupted her.
Even Hsu Shengzhe wasn't very clear about this matter. Now, he still thought that Li Dong held shares in East Star.
Hearing Hsu Shengzhe's question, Li Dong didn't explain. He smiled and said, "Whether it's valuable or not, the market value doesn't have much reference value.
To be honest, there's no need to care too much about this.
It doesn't matter if you have a market value of trillions. Once you are insolvent, you can still go bankrupt and liquidate. Is it useful?
The key is still the company itself. Don't think about this all day long. It's meaningless.
As for Longhua, don't be too eager for success.
I still have 20% shares in Longhua. If you ruin it, who am I going to find to settle the score? "
"Hehe, do you think I'm so stupid?"
Hsu Shengzhe said disdainfully. Finally, he suddenly said, "Don't forget our agreement."
As soon as he said this, Shen Qian, who came to ask Li Dong to eat, happened to walk over. She probably heard it. Her expression was slightly strange. She glanced at Li Dong and didn't say anything.
Li Dong was a little tired. He said to the phone, "Speak clearly. What agreement? Don't make it sound like there's something going on between us. Can't you complete your sentences every time you speak? Are you trying to trick me by leaving out the other half? "
Hsu Shengzhe knew Shen Qian was at the side and did not tease Li Dong. He laughed. "Don't tell me you've forgotten about it. In 2007, you issued bonds for me to borrow money, and I spent 500 million to buy your bonds. You had bet with me that Dong Yu will surpass Longhua within 3 years and become the leader of Jiangbei's real estate industry. If you can't do it, Longhua will take control of Dong Yu! "
Li Dong raised his brows. "Including Far away City, Dong Yu is not weaker than Longhua. In fact, it is stronger."
"Your 10 Far away City are all empty shells. You might have hoarded a lot of land, but you have a huge debt. Regardless of scale, influence, or operating system, do you think Dong Yu can be compared to Longhua? "
"That means you want to take control of Dong Yu Real Estate? Firstly, it hasn't been 3 years yet. Secondly, Dong Yu is mainly focusing on commercial real estate. This year, Dong Yu will build another 10 Far Away City. Just 20 Far Away City is an astronomical figure, and you can't afford it. Furthermore, with 20 Far Away City, how can Longhua compete with Dong Yu? Speaking of fame, who in the country doesn't know about Dong Yu's Far Away City? "
After that, Li Dong frowned again. "Seriously, why did you bring this up all of a sudden? If you have any thoughts, just say it. Don't beat around the bush. "
Hsu Shengzhe laughed. "I knew I can't hide it from you. Far Away City's current plan, I can roughly see through it.
Far Away City is probably your only external expansion plan. As for the rest, I don't think you're going to get involved.
But just for Far Away City, you have to support many departments and industries, and it's not worth it.
Your property management company, construction company, renovation company, sales department, planning department …
These human resources departments are not worth much.
If you are willing to entrust Dong Yu to Longhua, you can abolish all these departments. Far Away City will still be Far Away City, and I'll just charge you a small hosting fee every year.
I can guarantee that the expenses will be less than half of what you have to pay!
Furthermore, when Longhua earns money, it's you who earns it. You will also earn back a portion of it. In the end, you will realize that not only will you have fewer things to do, but your expenses will also be much lower.
More importantly, once Dragon Floret accepts your task of seizing over the soul, the combined effect of the two will be much stronger.
When that time comes, Longhua will still be Longhua, and its assets and everything else will remain the same.
But it will be like Gome previously. Without those 300 + stores, can Gome still have its previous fame?
The revenue from those stores will also be counted into Gome's revenue, and that's why it became the number one household appliance chain a few years ago.
If Longhua accepts Dong Yu's hosting tasks, Longhua will be able to claim to be the number one real estate conglomerate!
Once it enters the market, the added value it will generate will be immeasurable!
Li Dong, think about it. This is not a loss to you, and it's a chance to earn a lot of money.
I can even negotiate with you on the hosting fees. You just have to pay for the costs.
I don't even want to change the name of Far Away City. It's still Far Away City. It's true. You can think about it carefully, and don't be in a hurry to reject me.
You should know that you can't afford to divert your attention to expand Dong Yu Real Estate. With so many structures there, are you really going to let them take their salaries and not work?
It's a win-win situation for both sides. I've been wanting to talk about this for a long time.
But I wasn't clear about your plans previously, and I thought you were going to continue expanding your real estate projects. Those Qin, Han, and Tang series you mentioned sounded scary, but now it's a joke.
Instead of that, you might as well let Longhua manage it.
You even set up a property management company just for a few districts. Isn't it a loss? "
Li Dong was silent for a moment before replying. "Let me think about it. Some of the things you mentioned are a little one-sided. No matter how much the expenditure is, it's not much. Most importantly, this is one of our industries' ecological chain. If I hand it over to you, my ecological chain will not be complete. "
"It's just hosting!" Hsu Shengzhe emphasized.
He had been planning this for a long time, and he had wanted to say it a long time ago.
If Dong Yu Real Estate was handed over to Longhua now, it would be a different story!
Longhua started off with residential real estate. In Jiangbei, and even in East China, Longhua's residential real estate projects were famous.
But Longhua had only been involved in commercial real estate for a short time. Pingchuan's Longhua Square, which was now known as Far Away Square, was their first attempt at commercial real estate.
After that, Hsu Shengzhe continued to expand his investments in commercial real estate in Su 'an New City and Beijing.
But because Longhua's strength was limited, coupled with the slow recovery rate of commercial real estate, and the large scale of investments, Longhua was still not well-known in the commercial real estate industry.
But once it was connected to Far Away City, it would be a different story.
Although Dong Yu Real Estate was still an empty shell, the Far Away City project had long been famous throughout the country.
Now, as long as the first batch of 10 Far Away City projects were put into operation, it would be amazing!
A complex of 10 municipalities and provincial capitals was not an ordinary commercial square. Once it was put into operation, it would be equivalent to 10 small cities.
As long as Far Away City could support this project, just Far Away City alone, Li Dong's 100 billion plan would no longer be a plan, but a reality.
If Longhua took over Far Away City, they could also announce to the public that Hua Xia's largest real estate group!
The first would never be comparable to the second.
Li Dong still did not agree to it. He said slowly, "Let's talk about it later. I don't think it's necessary now."
"Li Dong …"
"Alright, just focus on your project. Don't think of borrowing my chicken to lay eggs.
Even if I want to borrow, I have to think it through.
Also, you took over Yurun's tourism project, and now you want to take over our commercial real estate. Longhua is still focusing on residential real estate.
Previously, you even wanted to do entertainment and hotels. Seriously, don't bite off more than you can chew.
Longhua's strength is not weak, but it's not strong yet.
A few years ago, you were only ranked in the 20s and 30s. Now, you want to be the industry leader? Aren't you afraid of dying from overeating?
"The bold will die from overeating, and the timid will die from starvation!"
Hsu Shengzhe said in a low voice, "In this day and age, if you don't do it, others will not be courteous with you!
What do you mean by biting off more than you can chew? Everyone wants to do more when they are big.
Are you doing fewer industries?
Or are other companies doing fewer industries than me?
As long as there's a chance, everyone will do it. Now that I've seen an opportunity, of course I have to grab it.
You don't want to be big in the real estate industry. I know you probably have some concerns, but I'm not afraid of you.
Don't worry, even if you die, it's me. You can't eat it, but give me some soup. That's not too difficult, right? "
Li Dong clamped his cell phone with his neck and drank his porridge as he said, "Old Xu, don't be so radical. The real estate industry is much more dangerous than the industries Far away.
I'm feeling immense pressure now. I can't take it anymore when my father-in-law takes over.
Not to mention, the risk is even greater on your side.
The real estate industry is seen as a profiteering industry, and now it has formed a more complete regional power distribution.
Now, you want to directly take over the position of the industry leader. Have you considered the feelings of others?
Take it easy, I'm serious.
Taking one step at a time is better than advancing by leaps and bounds, and it won't be eye-catching.
As for Dong Yu, I really have to consider it carefully. It's not that I don't want to give you some soup, but the key is that if you drink this soup, it might be poisonous. There's no need for that.
You can eat as much as you want.
You can't become fat in one bite. I can eat so much, but it took me five years to get to where I am now.
Even so, I'm getting indigestion.
As for you, don't keep thinking about surpassing me. Why bother? If you surpass me, I won't give you a single cent. Just be the second … "
Hsu Shengzhe was speechless. Damn it, every time I talk about serious matters, I can still have a good chat at the beginning, but at the end, it's all nonsense.
We're talking about serious matters now, big matters, alright!
The 100 billion yuan industry trusteeship plan, the plan to fight for the top position in the real estate industry, which matter isn't more important than being the first and second?
What surpassing Li Dong, not being the second? At this time, Hsu Shengzhe did not even think about it.
In the end, when it came from Li Dong's mouth, it was as if everything he was doing now was because of jealousy.
Just because of jealousy, did Hsu Shengzhe have to do such a thing?
Too lazy to explain, Hsu Shengzhe said tiredly, "That's all. You really have to think about it. If Longhua becomes the first in the industry, it will be a great help to you."
"We'll see."
Li Dong hung up the phone, put it aside, and lowered his head to eat.
Seeing that he was deep in thought, Shen Qian did not disturb him.
However, when she saw that he was still eating empty air even though his bowl was empty, Shen Qian did not know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "I'm done. Want another bowl?"
Li Dong came back to his senses and looked at the empty bowl. He smiled and said, "No, I'm done. Pack up and go to Qingyang."
As for what Hsu Shengzhe said just now, he did not say much. Shen Qian was not very interested in business now, and Li Dong was too lazy to say these things to let her use her brain.
