After a few meetings in a row, even though Li Dong was young, he could not take it anymore.
The retail group had to launch a boutique supermarket, relocate Gome's headquarters, and increase investment in the south …
As for logistics, they had to continue to lay out their national network, open air routes, and discuss cooperation with several express delivery companies …
As for the real estate company, the construction of the employees' residential area, the construction of Far away City …
All of these things made Li Dong's head hurt.
There was either a lack of money, a lack of people, or a lack of everything.
In short, now that everything was piled up, many things needed Li Dong to personally adjust.
…
After returning to the courtyard from the company, Li Dong looked a little tired.
In the courtyard, Shen Qian was whispering with Little Shitou, while Tian Xiaoyu was writing on the drawing board.
When Li Dong entered the door, Shen Qian looked up at him and saw the fatigue in his eyes. She couldn't help but get up and walk over. She said softly, "If you're tired, rest for a while. Work is endless. Today, I heard that you and Ma Yun challenged each other again. Did he call you again to anger you? "
Li Dong laughed and said, "He dares to call me?
It's not a challenge. We're rivals. He wants to be the boss, and I want to be too. Sooner or later, we'll fight.
Look at Da Qiangzi. Do I care about them?
It's okay. Ma Yun can only say a few words now. Sooner or later, I'll teach him a lesson.
If everything goes well this year, I'll be the king of the Internet field!
Even if it doesn't go well, it doesn't matter. I've planned it earlier than them, and I have the advantage in mobile devices. They won't be able to get rid of me easily.
At most, we'll divide the world equally. "
Li Dong said a few simple words and waved his hand. "Let's not talk about this when we go home. Take care of yourself. I've been too busy recently and don't have much time to accompany you. Come to think of it, it's been three months. You must take it easy. Old Li's family is now staring at your belly. "
Li Dong joked and walked over to Tian Xiaoyu to take a look. Ever since the painting that the girl drew that year was bought by Li Dong at the charity auction, she began to be interested in painting.
Tian Xiaoyu was very serious about drawing. Of course, she did not neglect her cultural studies either.
Previously, Li Dong had joked that she shouldn't take first place every day so that others wouldn't be able to see the opportunity. From this, it could be seen how serious and hardworking this lass was.
Although she and Little Shitou were both adopted by Li Dong, Little Shitou was still young. When he came to Li Dong, he didn't know anything, so he didn't think as much as this lass.
Tian Xiaoyu was different. She had come to Li Dong and was already sensible.
Even though a few years had passed, the girl still hadn't integrated into the family.
She actually only communicated with Li Dong and rarely talked to other people, including Shen Qian and Hu Xiaorui.
When Li Dong wasn't at home, she was usually very quiet. Just like now, Shen Qian was talking to Little Shitou, but she was quietly drawing on the side, immersed in her own world.
As soon as Li Dong walked in front of Tian Xiaoyu, he seemed to smell a familiar scent. Tian Xiaoyu raised her head and glanced at him. Then, a smile appeared on her face and she happily said, "Uncle."
"Continue to draw. It's quite nice, but Uncle doesn't like the sunset very much. Next time, I'll draw the morning sun. The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk. We're still young, and you're still a little girl. Don't draw these things. "
"Okay, then I'll draw the morning sun tomorrow morning." Tian Xiaoyu nodded obediently.
Li Dong smiled and rubbed her head. Seeing this, Shen Qian couldn't help but laugh and say, "I finally realized that you like to rub everyone's head when you see them. This is a bad habit."
Li Dong was speechless and said, "What are you talking about? When I see Hsu Shengzhe and Ma Yun, do I rub their heads? Rubbing heads is a sign of intimacy. What do you know? Don't not know how to cherish it. When I don't rub your heads one day, it means that I don't love you anymore. "
"So, I have to beg you to rub me often?" Shen Qian couldn't help but laugh.
Li Dong raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "It's been three months. You should be able to rub it now."
"Get lost!"
Shen Qian glared at him. This guy didn't know what to do. The two children were still here.
Li Dong felt wronged and said, "What's wrong? I was talking nicely, but you scolded me. What are you doing? "
Shen Qian couldn't be bothered with him. Just as the nanny called for dinner, everyone cleaned up and went into the house together.
As soon as they entered the house, Li Dong saw that the nanny was busy and couldn't help but say, "Aunty Zhang, don't be busy. Rest when it's time. Let Jiajia take you home to enjoy your life. There's no need for you to serve me here. I heard that a few days ago, Jiajia's Women's Street had a second round of financing, valued at more than 50 million. She's a millionaire now. How could she let me be a nanny outside? "
When Aunty Zhang heard this, she quickly said, "Mr. Li, are you driving me away?"
Li Dong laughed and said, "I don't mean that. But you should enjoy your life. Why do you have to tire yourself out?"
After that, Li Dong said, "Aunty Zhang, don't worry. Whether you are here or not has nothing to do with the business. Young people should do their own things. There's no need for an old man to bear too much responsibility for his children. "
Aunty Zhang was a little embarrassed and didn't say anything else. She went into the kitchen and continued working.
Once she left, Shen Qian couldn't help but whisper, "What's wrong?"
They had previously agreed that Aunty Zhang would leave after moving into the manor.
Now that Li Dong suddenly asked Aunty Zhang to go home early to enjoy her life, Shen Qian felt that something was wrong. Most of the time, some of Li Dong's words couldn't be taken at face value.
Li Dong shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Young people are still inexperienced.
I have long said that shopping guide websites like Women's Street rely on third-party e-commerce platforms.
You do your shopping guide comparison, and our platforms also need their assistance. We are too lazy to do this ourselves. After all, we can't be neutral.
But when shopping guide websites have success, they want to embezzle the profits of our e-commerce platform. Do they really think we are idiots?
When Women's Street had a second round of financing, they actually wanted to use this money to build their own vertical e-commerce platform. They are courting death!
Once Taobao and we ban them, they will be finished in an instant.
I'm fine. After all, we have shares in Women's Street. Plus, I'm not focusing on C2C now, so I can turn a blind eye to it for now.
Just wait and see. If Qian Jiajia and the rest really want to launch their own vertical e-commerce platform, Taobao will definitely ban them!
After financing tens of millions, do they really think they can enter and play?
Now, others invest a billion or so but don't dare to enter. With their little funds, I don't care now. I'll just wait for them to go online and see how they die! "
Shen Qian frowned slightly and said, "Why are you competing with a few young ladies? If you are really dissatisfied, I'll talk to them later. I haven't been too concerned about this recently, so I've neglected it … "
Li Dong shook his head and said, "No need. It's not competing with them. It's not worth it. The key is that there have been too many things recently, and they are still making trouble. I'm a little impatient. Forget it, let's not talk about this. Young people, it's good to suffer a little. Young people nowadays have smooth sailing when it comes to entrepreneurship. Do they really think that they are the best in the world … "
When he said this, Shen Qian looked at him strangely.
This guy is acting like an old man. Are you talking about yourself?
In this world, who is more confident and arrogant than you?
When she looked at Li Dong, Li Dong did not notice.
Actually, Li Dong was not talking about himself, nor was he talking about Qian Jiajia and the rest. He was just feeling a little emotional.
Qin Yuhan's platform in Shanghai was almost set up, but this lass was not good at accounting. In the early stages of setting up express delivery channels and building the platform, as well as working with merchants, she had burned through almost all the money she had.
Until now, the platform had not been set up, and the money was gone!
The efficiency had increased, and the scale was not considered small. It directly covered a district in Shanghai.
However, now that there was no money, the whole family was in an awkward situation.
Li Dong had actually given Qin Yuhan a card, but that girl's personality was different from Yuan Xue's. She refused to use it no matter what. They were still in a stalemate, looking for financing everywhere.
Seeing that her entrepreneurship this time was a failure, coupled with Qian Jiajia's trouble, Li Dong was a little uncomfortable.
Qian Jiajia and the rest could rise because of Li Dong's investment.
Now that these people had not risen yet, they had already turned a deaf ear to his advice. This made Li Dong, who was used to being domineering, very unhappy.
Moreover, Qin Yuhan was unwilling to use his money, which made Li Dong feel very uncomfortable. That was why he said a few words just now.
However, he did not tell Shen Qian in detail. There were some things that would only be bad if he said too much.
…
March 30th.
When Li Dong went out in the morning, he was silent for a while in the car. He suddenly said, "Isn't Yuhan looking for investments? Register an investment company later and invest some for her. "
Tan Yong quickly said, "Okay, I got it."
"Ask for shares normally. Don't be too obvious. Director Qin and the rest are not fools. If it's too obvious, they will guess that it's me."
"Understood."
Tan Yong nodded again.
After Li Dong said this, he sighed and said, "Women, why are you so domineering?"
Tan Yong could not respond to this, so he could only play dumb and remain silent.
Li Dong did not expect him to respond. After saying this, he stared at the roof of the car and did not say a word.
…
As soon as they arrived at the company.
Li Dong summoned Liu Hong and then said angrily, "The group buying platform that I asked you to set up last time hasn't been completed yet! So far, it's been one of the top internet companies in the industry, but in the end, it can't even be compared to a grassroots team! It's been almost a month. Is it that difficult to set up a platform? It's not like it's a new business. There are group buying platforms both at home and abroad. If you can drag it out until now, can't you do something serious in the future? "
He was so angry that Liu Hong really wanted to cry.
What's wrong now?
Recently, the boss's period seemed to be a little more frequent!
It was not difficult to set up a platform. The key was to launch these platforms, it needed an opportunity!
How could there be a platform that would be launched immediately after it was set up?
So far, the platform had been set up a long time ago. However, there were many things happening recently, so Liu Hong wanted to put it aside. In addition, he was still talking with merchants about cooperation, so he planned to delay it until May when it would be launched together with the Wanjia website.
He seemed to have reported this matter before, but he did not expect the boss to forget it again.
Stealing a glance at Li Dong, Liu Hong felt a little helpless. Recently, he was probably under a lot of pressure and the boss was looking for a place to vent.
Liu Hong coughed lightly and explained, "The platform has been set up, but we are going to wait for the Wanjia website to launch together, so …"
After a few perfunctory words, seeing that Li Dong did not continue to find fault, Liu Hong knew that he had guessed correctly.
He did not continue this topic. The group buying website was indeed not a big deal at the moment.
After Liu Hong said this, he said, "For Weibo's Series C financing, we want to do the same as last time. We want to hold a financing reception and send invitations to all the major investment banks. Also, this time, you said that we will mainly introduce state-owned assets, so I want to focus on state-owned assets this time. What do you think … "
The previous two rounds of financing, in addition to Li Dong's exchange for Gome's shares, most of Weibo's shares had flowed into the hands of foreign investors.
During the Series A financing, Baidu and Victoria Fund received a small amount of shares.
During the Series B financing, the only state-owned asset that received shares was Bank of China.
If the Series C continued to be dominated by foreign investors, most of the profits would be from the foreign investors.
Although Weibo had opened up most of the markets in the world, it was still mainly in the Hua Xia market.
Almost half of the users on Weibo were on Hua Xia's side.
Therefore, in order to take care of the users and market demand, it was obviously not appropriate to continue to let foreign investors increase the proportion of shares.
Li Dong nodded and said, "Then we will invite more domestic investors this time, but there is no need to make it too special. If you really want to make it special, other people will feel uncomfortable too. Let's invite them normally, just a little bit. After the financing, we will start preparing for the listing. I want to see if I can sell the internet one by one and see if it can be worth a few trillion dollars. "
Liu Hong fell silent again. When the boss was bragging, he just needed to listen.
Yesterday, he had just said that the mall was worth 150 billion dollars, and now it had become a trillion.
According to the boss's increase, the money Hua Xia printed every day couldn't keep up with his growth.
Li Dong didn't care if he responded or not. A few trillion dollars wasn't just a bluff. Who knew, after killing Ali and Tencent, it might really be worth that much.
But that was all for later. Now that people said he was bragging, Li Dong couldn't just deny it.
…
March 31st, the last day of March.
Throughout March, there were many things happening in the industry. On the last day, all parties suddenly fell silent.
Many people were not used to this silence.
It was almost April, and many netizens found it a little strange. Over the past few days, there had been all kinds of announcements, all kinds of gossip, and all kinds of acquisition news from the major companies.
Unexpectedly, on the last day, all the companies seemed to be fine and quiet.
Even Li Dong, who liked to steal the headlines, didn't hear anything from him on that day.
The netizens just said it casually. In any case, there were more than 300 days a year. How could they watch the excitement every day? It was normal to take a day off.
…
The netizens didn't care, but others couldn't help but care.
Shenzhen.
Standing in front of the window, Ma Huateng mumbled, "Tomorrow, the policy of lowering traffic charges promoted by Mobile and Far away seems to be officially implemented. Tomorrow, there should be some movement from him. "
Li Dong wasn't someone who would let others take advantage of him. Ma Huateng didn't believe that the policy of lowering traffic charges was really just to serve the public.
Since Li Dong had promoted it, he must have a request.
Thinking of this, Ma Huateng took a deep breath, turned around, and said, "Tomorrow, keep a close eye on Far away's every move. It's April Fool's Day. Don't get fooled by him!"
A senior executive couldn't help but say, "If he wants to target someone, he's also targeting Ali …"
"Ignorant!"
Ma Huateng glanced at him. What an idiot. He didn't even know how he got to his current position!
Didn't he understand the logic of attacking others with false principles?
Although all the signs pointed to Li Dong's ambition being in the e-commerce field, Ma Huateng just didn't believe it!
Even if Li Dong kept hiding it, Ma Huateng had a feeling that Li Dong was targeting Tencent.
He had analyzed it many times. Far Away's business overlapped with Tencent more and more, far more than Far Away's business overlapped with Ali's.
Li Dong's number one opponent in the IT industry was actually not Taobao, which was still dominated by C2C, but Tencent!
The gaming industry, instant messaging industry, video services, browser services …
A series of overlapping businesses. Far Away had almost become a replica of Tencent.
It was enough for one such company to exist. If it were him, Ma Huateng, he would also want to get rid of Distance at this time. It was just that he had not made up his mind for the time being. It was just a battle to the death!
He was prepared to wait until the virtual fund was launched in May.
But some signs were telling him that he might not need to wait anymore. Li Dong might be even more impatient than him.
Ma Huateng mumbled, "Moving the board. What kind of trump card do you have?"
He was still brooding over Li Dong's confidence. Where did Li Dong get his confidence from? Why did he continue to provoke him when there was a possibility of a war with Ali?
At this moment, Brother Ma really wanted to give Li Dong a call and ask him a few questions.
Even if he couldn't get any information, he should be able to glean some information from Li Dong's tone.
But considering Li Dong's lousy mouth, Ma Huateng dismissed the idea.
…
Ma Yun also had the same idea as Ma Huateng.
Actually, he also wanted to ask about Li Dong's situation. But considering Li Dong's poisonous tongue, he chose to give up.
Even if this guy exposed something, it would definitely be outdated information.
Rather than being mocked, he might as well wait for him to make his move.
…
Both of them chose to give up.
Li Dong, who had already returned home, said unwillingly, "Those two are really good at holding back. Aren't they going to ask me about the specifics?"
In his opinion, those two should be thick-skinned enough.
It was normal for them to ask about the situation. Even if they were mocked, they wouldn't mind.
Actually, at this point, there was no need to hide too much. Li Dong was really prepared to reveal some information.
But who knew that even after he had a stomach full of words to say and thought of how to mock them and how to insult them, they didn't call!
When he called them in the group, no one showed up. This made Li Dong feel quite hurt.
He wanted to call them to show off, but considering that it would be too unreserved, Li Dong fell into a dilemma.
Seeing him tossing and turning, Shen Qian really couldn't stand it anymore. She said angrily, "You might as well move in with them!"
Li Dong was a little embarrassed and said dryly, "What are you saying? Forget it, I'm going to sleep. I'll see how they react tomorrow."
The WeChat would be released at 9 am tomorrow. Li Dong wasn't too anxious. Moreover, the first version of WeChat was actually very bad. It would be pure self-deception to say that it was very powerful.
The key was that Li Dong had set up a lot of traps this time. He was ready to let Brother Ma step into them.
He just didn't know if Brother Ma was staring at him like he imagined. If he really stared at him and started to follow him, that would be fun!
