East Garden.
When Li Dong returned to Pingchuan, the first thing he did was to go home.
Shen Qian was also waiting for Li Dong's return at the entrance of East Garden.
Li Dong got out of the car and hugged Shen Qian gently. He said with a smile, "It's done!"
Shen Qian knew what he meant. It was not because of Tencent, but because of Far away.
Tencent's IPO soared, rising more than 60% that day. Its market value reached 61.5 billion USD, and it became the world's second-largest internet stock, second only to Google.
At this time, Tencent was not the only one who benefited. Far away was also the one who benefited the most.
Of course, the one who benefited the most was Li Dong.
It was not just wealth, but prestige and a legend.
Li Dong had created a legend again.
It took Li Dong three months to go from 20 billion USD before the suspension to 60 billion USD after the resumption of trading.
If this was not a legend, then what was there in the world?
Next, Weibo would explode again, and Li Dong's personal prestige would reach the peak of the world!
Tencent's market value was not low, but it was still a listed company in Hong Kong. Its influence was not that big.
Weibo was different. Weibo had an international presence, and it was listed in America. If it achieved shocking results there, it would easily attract the attention of the world.
At that time, Li Dong would stand on the altar.
When he said he wanted to raise funds, countless investors would flock to him.
When he said he wanted to build the world's first retail system, the doubts of the outside world would be reduced to a minimum.
When he said he wanted to surpass Wal-Mart, even if they did not believe it, the investors would not think it was a joke. It just needed time.
All of this was because of the series of miracles created by Li Dong.
Li Dong was in a good mood, and Shen Qian was also happy. "The child kicked me today. He was more noisy than usual. I think he must know that his father has achieved something that will attract the attention of the world today!"
Upon hearing that, Li Dong could not help but laugh. "That's your illusion."
"No!"
"…"
The couple chatted for a while, and Zhao Lin and the cameraman hurriedly recorded this scene.
Li Dong didn't care, but Shen Qian nodded at Zhao Lin.
She had met Zhao Lin before, but she wasn't familiar with her.
Shen Qian also knew that Zhao Lin was doing an interview with Li Dong.
Seeing Shen Qian gesturing to her, Zhao Lin hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Sister Qian. Others say that pregnant women will become ugly, but I find that Sister Qian is getting more and more charming. No wonder the first thing General Manager Li did when he came back was to go home. "
Shen Qian was graceful and generous. She smiled and said, "Linlin, you flatter me. How is Uncle Zhao?"
"I'm doing well …"
The two women chatted for a while, and Li Dong did not interrupt.
After the two were done, Li Dong looked at Zhao Lin and said, "If you want to do some filming in East Garden, just do some partial filming."
As soon as this was said, Zhao Lin understood and said, "General Manager Li, don't worry. We will deal with it later."
East Garden occupied a large area. It was not a problem overseas, but it was better to keep a low profile in China.
Although it was not a problem for Li Dong to live in a big house with his status, some troubles should be avoided.
They did not stand outside the door. Li Dong helped Shen Qian walk in and asked, "Has Xiaoyu and Shi Tou's school been arranged?"
"Yes, they will be reported in a few days. They are all in the same school, and it is not too far from East Garden. But you probably won't be able to go when you report. At that time, Weibo will also be listed. "
Li Dong thought for a moment and said, "It depends on the schedule. I will try to go."
As the two were chatting, Zhao Lin could not help but interrupt. "General Manager Li, the two children you are talking about are …"
Li Dong looked at her sideways. His stare made Zhao Lin feel a little nervous.
After staring at her for a few seconds, Li Dong said, "Reporter Zhao, you can follow me, but try not to interfere with my private life. Also, don't let the children appear in the media. "
Zhao Lin felt a little suffocated when she was stared at. She had never experienced such a feeling even from her father.
At this time, when Li Dong finished speaking, Zhao Lin subconsciously gasped for breath and then quickly said, "No, I'm just … just a little curious."
Seeing that Zhao Lin was a little nervous, Shen Qian interrupted with a smile. "The two children are still young. I know that Li Dong is under too much attention now. For the children's growth and future, Li Dong does not want them to appear in the spotlight at this time."
Zhao Lin quickly said, "I understand. Don't worry, Sister Qian."
"…"
Li Dong ignored Zhao Lin and chatted with Shen Qian for a while.
When they arrived at the main house, Li Dong's parents and Shen Xuehua were there.
At this time, Li Dong turned slightly and looked at Zhao Lin again. Zhao Lin immediately said, "General Manager Li, would it be convenient for us to go somewhere else to film?"
"Sure. Old Tan, show Reporter Zhao around and prepare some food. We have to go back to the company after a short rest."
Tan Yong responded and then led Zhao Lin and the others out.
After they left, Li Dong shook his head and said, "I knew it would be inconvenient for the media to follow us. I will let it go this time. Next time, I will try to avoid it."
After complaining, Li Dong greeted his parents. He then looked at Shen Xuehua and said with a smile, "Mom, I'm sorry to have troubled you this time."
Shen Xuehua laughed and said, "It's my daughter. I am here to see if it is troublesome. As for you, although you know that some things cannot be delayed, you should rest as much as possible for a period of time. These days, I see that you have been running around. You have to pay attention to your health. "
"I will. It will be during this period."
Li Dong and Shen Xuehua talked for a while and then looked at his mother. "Mom, I have to go back to the company later. I may come back a little late at night. I will not celebrate my birthday this year. Have you made noodles for me? I will eat a bowl and have to go later. "
"Yes, I will go get it for you …"
As Cao Fang spoke, her eyes suddenly became a little red. "I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. Why are you so busy? Qianqian is still pregnant. She is about to give birth, but you are not at home all day. Even for a birthday, you … "
As Cao Fang spoke, Li Chengyuan gently pushed her.
Cao Fang quickly wiped her eyes and said to Shen Xuehua with some embarrassment, "In-law, look at me. I am talking nonsense on a happy day. Then I will go to the kitchen to take a look. You guys sit down. Dongzi, accompany In-law and chat. I will come later. "
Li Dong nodded and looked at his mother again. After thinking for a while, he said, "Mom, I will be busy for the next one or two years. Once I've settled the matters on hand, it won't be like this in the future. "
Cao Fang responded and did not say anything else. She turned and walked to the kitchen.
After she left, Shen Xuehua looked at Li Dong and said, "Recently, you seem to be a little anxious. Let's talk about Tencent and Weibo's listing. Logically speaking, it is better to separate them. Although the outside world says that it is good for both, the additional effect is stronger. But in fact, if it were to be listed separately and produce two sensational effects, it might not be worse than now, and it would not be so rushed. You are … "
Li Dong smiled and said, "I don't mean anything else. I just want to finish the things on hand as soon as possible. These few years, I have been busy, busy. I am so busy that I don't even have time to take care of my parents. Qianqian is about to give birth. In the future, there will be three children at home, and the children are all young. If I am still as busy as before, won't I become a work machine? I should take this opportunity to settle the matters, so that I can have more time to take care of the family in the future. "
Shen Xuehua was stunned for a moment, then she nodded and said, "Actually, this is also a good thing. If an ordinary person said this at your age, I would have to say that they are lethargic. But you are different from others. You are under a lot of pressure now. Since you have decided on your own, then do it according to your ideas. Qianqian's father and I are not at the stage where we can't move yet. There are still some things that can be taken care of. "
Li Dong responded with a smile and chatted with his father for a while.
Li Chengyuan did not speak much. The father and son talked about some family matters. When Cao Fang walked over with the noodles, the father and son ended the conversation.
After eating the noodles in a hurry, Li Dong quickly left the house.
When he went out, Li Dong's phone rang a few times.
Today was his birthday. Even if he did not say it, it was not that no one knew, and there were many people who sent congratulatory messages.
Qin Yuhan and Yuan Xue only sent text messages, but Hu Xiaorui called him.
Last year and the year before that, these people came to celebrate Li Dong's birthday.
But this year, Li Dong did not have a birthday party, nor did he say that he would. In addition, he was already married, so in the end, no one mentioned celebrating his birthday.
When Hu Xiaorui called, she first gave him a few blessings, but in the end, she could not help but cry, "Can't we have a birthday party in the future? That man in your family is too narrow-minded! "
Li Dong said softly, "It's just a small birthday, it's not a big deal. Besides, it's mainly because I'm too busy today and can't find time. If you want to have a gathering, you can do it anytime. I didn't say that I can't even afford to treat you. "
"You only know how to talk!" Hu Xiaorui snorted and finally said, "It doesn't matter if you have a birthday party or not. Anyway, I have prepared a gift for you. I will get someone to send it Far away later. Will you be there later?"
"Yes, what gift?" Li Dong said and reminded, "Don't let it be something big again."
When he celebrated his birthday, Hu Xiaorui gave him a statue and a Raider, both big things.
The Raider was now almost a decoration.
Li Dong almost never sat in it, but Hsu Shengzhe kept an eye on it. Several times, he wanted to ask Li Dong to send him, but Li Dong ignored him. It was just transported to the garage in East Garden a few days ago and continued to be used as an object to keep the atmosphere.
"It's not a big thing. Anyway, you will know when you see it."
Hu Xiaorui did not say more and hung up the phone after a few words.
…
As soon as Li Dong arrived at the Far away building, someone from East Star came.
Hu Xiaorui's gift arrived!
When he received the small gift box, Li Dong was relieved. It's fine as long as it's not a big thing.
However, when he opened the gift box and saw Hu Xiaorui's gift, Li Dong was a little dumbfounded.
The gift wasn't the usual wallet, belt, scarf, or anything like that, but a small crystal hammer.
At the end of the hammer's handle was a cartoon head, which was similar to Hu Xiaorui. The whole small hammer was full of a cute aura.
Li Dong looked at it for a while, and his phone rang again.
This time it wasn't a phone call, but a video call.
When the video was connected, Hu Xiaorui's face appeared on the other end of the video. When she saw Li Dong playing with the small crystal hammer, Hu Xiaorui smiled and said, "Are you satisfied with this gift?"
Li Dong was dumbfounded. "It is cute, but why did you give me this?"
"Keep it. When we do bad things in the future, we can use this together! I have one here too. It matches yours. "
"How old am I? Can I still do this kind of thing?" Li Dong said, then smiled and said, "Besides, it's not worth it to use this to smash cars and doors."
"I don't care. Anyway, you have to keep it."
"Keep it as a souvenir."
Li Dong looked at the time and said, "I have to go down. There's a third anniversary party later. Everyone is waiting."
"Okay, go ahead."
Hu Xiaorui responded. Just as Li Dong was about to hang up the video, Hu Xiaorui suddenly said, "I won't marry in this life!"
"…"
With this sentence, the video call ended.
Li Dong was stunned for a moment, then he rubbed his cheeks with both hands. After a long time, Li Dong said self-deprecatingly, "I thought I was fair to everyone, but in the end, I found out that I am sorry to everyone."
…
At seven in the evening, Far away's third anniversary celebration was held.
At the celebration, Li Dong gave a few words to everyone's anticipation.
"Tencent and Weibo's listing are just the beginning. Far away will continue to move forward without end! Since I've come to this world, I must leave behind an indelible mark! Even if one day, Far away really becomes the dust of history, I hope that Far away is the most dazzling dust! … "
With thunderous applause, Far away's third anniversary celebration began.
Meanwhile, the Central TV reporters and cameramen also recorded this moment.
Zhao Lin recorded a lot in her notebook. Finally, she wrote one sentence: "Even if it's just a dust, I am the most dazzling — Li Dong."
As she finished her sentence, Zhao Lin raised her head to look at the smiling Li Dong in front of her. She couldn't help but whisper to Sister Juan, "Sister Juan, you've followed up on many entrepreneurs. What kind of person do you think Li Dong is?"
Sister Juan said softly, "It's very complicated and hard to describe. In short, he always gives people the feeling that there's a layer of fog around him. He's a very contradictory person. Yes, contradictory. "
Seeing Zhao Lin's puzzled expression, Sister Juan shook her head and said, "He gives me the feeling of contradiction. Maybe it's because our statuses are different, or we don't understand him well enough. Through these two days of contact, I've discovered that what he pursues may be different from what other entrepreneurs pursue. No matter how well others put it, what they ultimately pursue is nothing more than fame and fortune. In the past, I didn't think Mr. Li was much different from other entrepreneurs. But these two days, following Tencent's listing, I suddenly realized that what Mr. Li pursues may not be these things. "
"Then what is it?" Zhao Lin murmured.
Sister Juan shook her head. She didn't know, and it was hard for her to guess.
This was a very complicated person, so complicated that she couldn't use ordinary eyes to guess.
