Mockery was not the key. The key was other influences.
Ma Yun was a little troubled. Far away's credit system had been established, consumer finance licenses had been delegated, and the internet finance industry was at the forefront Far Away.
Internet finance included a lot of things.
Any industry that was related to funds could be considered as internet finance.
When that time came, would Taobao not be affected?
It was not just Taobao!
Alipay, Ali's B2B, and even all Ali's industries would be affected.
Ali could not get a consumer finance license now.
The only thing Ali could do now was to get a microloan license immediately!
As long as he got it, even if there were restrictions, it would be better than now.
Otherwise, once Far Away made a move, they would not even have a chance to resist.
But the internet microloan license was still under discussion and had not been officially implemented. How long would it take?
Three months? Half a year? Or even longer?
No one could guarantee this.
Just like the third-party payment license, Li Dong and the others had pushed for it time and time again before it was finally issued with much difficulty. It had dragged on for a long time.
Now, Li Dong was not involved. He could not wait for it to be released later.
How long would it take for them to push for it?
Far Away's consumer finance license, when would it be issued?
Far Away's credit system, when would it be established?
When that time came, how would Ali handle himself?!
He had only come to promote internet finance, but now, Ma Yun had a headache. If he was not careful this time, Ali would suffer a huge setback.
Thinking of this, Ma Yun suddenly said, "Li Dong, I've always been curious about something. If you don't mind, can you tell me?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "Ask away."
"Most of the time, there are some things you don't have to say. If you don't say it, we will be unprepared and might be forced into a corner by you. Are you really too talkative, or do you have other thoughts? "
This was what Ma Yun was puzzled about.
Li Dong was really a complicated person!
If you said that he was ruthless to his enemies, he was indeed ruthless and would kill at every turn.
However, if he really wanted to be ruthless, there were many things that he could choose not to mention. He could take his time, and he could even use it as a trump card to deal a fatal blow at a critical moment.
But most of the time, this guy liked to say it out in advance.
This included the mobile internet, internet finance, the red envelope system, the QR code payment system, and now the license issue.
If it weren't for Li Dong revealing so much information and allowing everyone to come up with some countermeasures in advance, with Li Dong's endless means, Ali might have been suppressed to the point where he couldn't move.
Li Dong chuckled and said, "Who's the one with the bigger mouth? Are you talking about yourself?
Didn't I say that this year, I'm going to use sharing as the theme?
Really, I've always been sharing, and everyone can see it.
When I get something good, the first person I think of is someone else, not myself.
If you're willing to share your happiness with me, then we're friends.
If you don't want to, I won't force you. But if you insist on going against me, then you are my enemy.
Did you see what happened to Brother Ma?
I shared my happiness with him. I even told him about the Virtual Currency Fund, but he didn't appreciate it. At the critical moment, he stabbed me in the back. He's too shameless!
And WeChat, I don't have any other thoughts. I just want to share something good with everyone.
But for him, he's in such a hurry to snatch my market share. Is that appropriate?
I definitely can't finish it alone. When the time comes, I'll take the initiative to share it with you so that you won't burn your hands.
You just had to snatch it. You saw how depressed Brother Ma was yesterday. It was tragic.
So everyone, don't be like this in the future. I'll share it … "
"Do you want to share your soup and water?"
Ma Yun mocked before saying, "You've taken it from others, but you've taken it from others. You still have to take what you have yourself. Didn't you, Li Dong, get everything you have now? Instead of drinking soup and water, why not eat meat! Either you eat until you're full, or you don't eat at all! "
"Sigh, why bother? He's just like Brother Ma again. This person, he's just stubborn and refuses to lower his head. That's right.
I also like to eat my own food. Even if I snatch it, it's better than someone else's charity.
It's fine as long as you're happy. Anyway, I've already told you.
If you don't want to be destroyed by me, get a license as soon as possible. Any license is better than none.
Of course, it's not my style to crush others with a license.
Really, that's meaningless. They can't understand my, Li Dong's, strength.
I regretted it when I destroyed Tencent. It's meaningless. Using huge capital to bully others doesn't give me a sense of accomplishment.
We can't use capital to crush Ali and Taobao. We have to get something more interesting.
Capital can be used as a support. Don't you think so? "
Ma Yun stared at him and snorted. "Don't. I don't need it. If you have the ability, bring it on!"
"Bring it on? Can I do that? I can even let Brother Ma do that. "
Li Dong joked. Then he looked at the time and said, "It's past 12 o 'clock. I'm a little hungry. Let's eat together?"
Previously, he said he couldn't eat. Now, he could. The problem was, could Ma Yun and the rest still eat?
Ma Yun wasn't as angry as he thought he would be. Now, he realized that he couldn't get angry with Li Dong.
Maybe he was used to it, or maybe it was because Li Dong's big mouth liked to leak information in advance. He didn't know if he should hate this bastard.
When Li Dong said to eat, Ma Yun agreed. "Sure, let's eat. It's my treat today."
"Really?"
"Really!"
Li Dong laughed. "You're finally generous for once. Then don't stand on ceremony. Let's eat and drink to our hearts' content!"
"…"
After accompanying Ma Yun and the rest to eat a good meal, Li Dong didn't talk about business. He was too lazy to talk about it.
After eating, Li Dong went to the next place he wanted to go. These two days, his time was very tight.
As soon as he left, Ma Yun asked, "How much is it?"
The hotel manager was personally accompanying them. He quickly smiled and said, "General Manager Ma, this meal is on the house. Can you stay in our hotel …"
Ma Yun shook his head and said, "No need. Li Dong ordered a lot of good wine just now. I saw him bring a few bottles before he left. He said that he was going to the next place to drink. We can order as much as we want."
The hotel manager hesitated for a moment. Considering the character of these big shots, he finally said, "160,000."
Ma Yun was not surprised. He nodded and said, "Later, give each of us a box of the wine that Li Dong took away."
The hotel manager was speechless. The rich were indeed rich. They bought wine by the box!
Moreover, with so many people, it would cost at least 500,000 in the end.
Just as he was thinking about the rich, a few people beside him quickly said, "Old Ma, don't stand on ceremony. It's too expensive!"
"Yes, Old Ma, there's no need to fight over this …"
Everyone began to talk, but Ma Yun was a little surprised and said, "What's wrong? You don't want free things? Besides, it's not me who is paying. "
"…"
Everyone's persuasion came to an abrupt halt. What did he mean?
Didn't he say that he would treat them?
Ma Yun said with a smile, "Isn't the hotel booked by Li Dong? He said that he would pay for all the food and drinks. My treat is my treat, but with his premise, I won't pay, lest he thinks that I'm looking down on him. As long as the intention is there, it's fine. It's better to sign the bill with Li Dong. "
"Cough, cough, cough …"
There was a lot of coughing at the scene. The hotel manager was also dumbfounded. It took him a long time to recover. It seemed to be the case!
Far away had already been informed. The guests could eat and use whatever they wanted. Even the money for renting a car was paid by Far away.
Li Dong was rich and overbearing. In addition, these guests were also celebrities. It was rare for them to spend indiscriminately just to occupy a small space.
But Li Dong did not expect that Ma Yun would really do it!
The hotel manager was sweating profusely and said quickly, "General Manager Ma, this … the kind of wine that General Manager Li took away, our hotel can't provide so much for the time being …"
"It's okay. Give me a few boxes of the same. If you can't, then give me something better. Such a big hotel shouldn't not have this kind of thing. White or red, we don't have any taboo. Anything is fine. Okay, that's it. Arrange for someone to send it to us later. "
Ma Yun calmly instructed. He did not care about the others' dumbfounded eyes and walked to the elevator. It was time to go back.
Li Dong had made a big move again. Since he made a move, he had to think of a way to deal with it.
This time, if he could not wait for the license to be issued, then he would cooperate with Bailian once!
Alipay. Ma Yun originally did not intend to introduce other capital. But this time, he was forced to this point. If he did not take action, once Wan Tong's business was perfected, the speed of seizing the market would greatly increase.
If Alipay lost a large part of the market, how could it compete with Far away?
…
Li Dong, who was out of the hotel, quickly received the news.
The hotel did not dare to make a decision. A few hundred thousand was nothing to Li Dong. But if they did not inform Li Dong and directly reported it to Li Dong, who knew what Li Dong would think in the end.
Opening a high-end hotel in Pingchuan would not have a good relationship with Far away. Then, in the future, he would not be able to get any big client resources.
Li Dong, who received the call, found it funny and said, "This guy. I was wondering why he suddenly became so generous."
He did not care about these things. Old Ma was angry and wanted to find a place to vent. Just let him be.
As for what Li Dong said before, it was all true.
Why did he say it? Li Dong naturally had his own reasons.
Of course, maybe he was worried that Ali would die too quickly. That would not be fun.
If Ali could not get the small loan license, then it would be almost inevitable to cooperate with Bailian to get the consumer finance license. After all, there were not many companies that had deep cooperation with Ali. Bailian was the only company that could reach 60 billion in assets and 30 billion in revenue.
Maybe, when the time comes, it would be more interesting to pull in more companies.
Li Dong thought about it for a while. As for the wine, it was just a passing thought. Li Dong didn't really think about it.
…
At night.
Li Dong's class reunion.
For this reunion, both his college and high school classmates gathered together.
Li Dong was in a hurry and could not host them in two groups. Since they were all classmates, after a discussion, they decided to host them together.
However, there were not too many classmates this time. There were only 30 people from high school and college.
There were more at the college side, so there were two tables. There was only one table at the high school side.
Li Dong brought Shen Qian with him. After all, everyone was attending a wedding. It was inappropriate for Shen Qian not to show up.
Plus, many people knew that she had a strong background. If she did not come, others might think that she was looking down on them.
…
For this reunion, they did not choose a big hotel, but a restaurant near the campus of Jiangzhou University.
There were three tables, and two private rooms were booked. The screen in the middle was pulled open, and everyone was gathered together.
When Li Dong arrived, the owner of the restaurant was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
Some people in Pingchuan might not know Li Dong, but as the owner of a restaurant near Jiangzhou University, Li Dong was the most talked about person among the students and the people near Jiangzhou University.
Plus, Li Dong got married yesterday. Everyone was still talking about it. How could they not know him?
The owner did not expect that Li Dong, who was so arrogant yesterday, would appear in his restaurant today!
Although they did not see the situation at the Greenland Manor yesterday, they knew that there were many big shots there. The scene would not be too shabby.
All of a sudden, the tall and mighty Li Dong suddenly appeared here. The boss naturally felt that it was a little strange.
But soon, the owner thought of the group of people who just went upstairs.
They said that it was a class reunion. He did not think too much about it. Now that he thought about it, he knew many of them.
Didn't these people say that Li Dong was their classmate when they came to eat here?
The owner was excited and very polite. He sent Li Dong and his wife upstairs.
As for the unfamiliar men downstairs, they were wandering around. A few of them went upstairs too. The owner pretended not to see them.
Being able to do business, even if it was a small business, was not something that ordinary people could do.
It would be strange if someone like Li Dong did not have anyone to protect him when he went out.
…
In the private room, Li Dong smiled as soon as he arrived. "Sorry, I'm late. Either you came late or you came late on purpose. If I came early, you wouldn't have the time to pick up girls. Now that we've all graduated and are all over the world, it's rare for us to have a chance to meet up. Let's chat and who knows, we might even form a couple. "
He teased everyone as soon as he entered the room. Fang Qingfei could not help but laugh. "You're married. You don't want to see anyone single now, do you?"
Li Dong was surprised. "Isn't it a class reunion? Why is a leftover warrior like you here? "
Fang Qingfei's face darkened. The others also laughed.
After Li Dong said that, he looked at Wang Jia, who was sitting next to him. "Before we start, let me say something off topic. This woman is getting old. She really needs to find someone to get married. Don't think that you're still young. Look at yourself. You're about to grow wrinkles. As friends, I hope you can find your own happiness. Otherwise, I won't dare to bring my wife to the next gathering. "
He said it like he was joking, but Wang Jia knew he was talking to her.
Glancing at Li Dong, Wang Jia chuckled. "Are single young women like us really that much of an eyesore to you?"
"I'm not talking about you. Don't think too much. I'm talking about Old Fang."
Fang Qingfei said angrily, "You're already married, and you still can't keep your mouth shut. Don't talk nonsense. Now that we're here, there's no such thing as the richest man. Today, I have the highest status. I'm your teacher, so you all have to listen to me! Shen Qian, you're Li Dong's lover, so you're considered half my student. You don't have any objections, right? "
Shen Qian said with a face full of smiles, "No, I'll listen to Teacher Fang."
"That's good. You're much more reliable than Li Dong. Actually, I've always felt that Li Dong isn't very reliable. People like him need to find a reliable wife …"
Fang Qingfei talked and laughed, and the atmosphere became lively in a short while.
At the gathering that night, Li Dong did not mention his business. He did not even mention the word Far Away.
For the whole night, Li Dong either talked about his wife, or his life after marriage, or talked about parenting with others.
If he did not mention it, others would naturally be embarrassed to mention it.
In the end, even if he did not talk about it, the atmosphere became even more lively.
Even Li Tie and Yuan Qingfeng, who he did not get along with in the past, were chatted with by Li Dong for a long time.
The little conflict back then seemed so laughable now.
Some things were not worth remembering for a lifetime.
During the banquet, Li Tie drank a little too much. At the end of the gathering, he put his hand on Li Dong's shoulder and said with a blank expression, "Dongzi, tell me, who was wrong back then?
I really liked her, but after liking her for so long, we became enemies in the end.
Xu Chen dropped out of school and disappeared without a trace. These few years, I've been feeling uneasy.
For her, I've hated you for many years because of her.
Fatty said that I was selfish and only cared about my own thoughts. He also fell out with me …
In the end, I realized that it seemed like I was right, but it also seemed like I was wrong.
Tell me, was I wrong? Did I hurt her? "
The 'her' he was referring to was Bai Su.
Back then, the atmosphere in the dormitory was quite good.
Later, Li Tie fell in love with Bai Su. For Bai Su, he argued with Li Dong a few times.
He also argued with others for Bai Su.
The reason why Li Tie said that he felt uneasy when Xu Chen was mentioned was actually related to Bai Su, or Li Dong.
When Huang Shanshan and Xu Chen were together, many people had a feeling that it might have something to do with Li Dong.
The two beauties in the class were both involved with Li Dong. Li Tie's jealousy was inevitable.
But he could not do anything to Li Dong, so he could only find another place to vent.
Xu Chen dropped out of school partly because of Li Tie.
Many people did not know about this. Li Dong only found out later.
Li Tie wrote a letter to the Education Department to report it. Jiangzhou University was questioned and felt that the impact was too bad. In the end, they made the decision to expel him.
It could be said that a lot of things were caused by women.
But were these women in the wrong?
Li Tie liked Bai Su, so Bai Su had to accept it?
Was Li Dong in the wrong?
Huang Shanshan liked him, so he had to accept it?
So, it was really hard to say who was right and who was wrong.
Bai Su and Huang Shanshan also arrived today. They were drinking with a few girls in their dormitory. They seemed to be in a good mood.
Li Dong was not completely drunk. Hearing Li Tie's words, Li Dong patted his shoulder lightly and shook his head. "The past is in the past. There's no point in talking about it. People should look forward. There's no need to remember the past. After today's gathering, everyone will have to travel all over the country again. I don't know when we'll meet again. Let go of what should be let go. "
Li Tie did not know if he heard it or not. He continued to drink, and Li Dong did not stop him.
After walking around, Li Dong finally approached Shen Qian and said in a slightly drunk tone, "Wife, do you think some things can really be let go?"
Shen Qian looked at him and said after a while, "You drank too much."
"Drank too much?"
Li Dong laughed at himself and murmured, "I'm good at persuading people. But if it really happened to me, how can I let go?"
Shen Qian was speechless. She gently stroked his back and did not say anything.
