Sun Tao's words had a huge impact on Li Dong.
To forge iron, one had to be strong. It was better to rely on oneself than on others.
Among the few paths that Sun Tao had given him, the fastest and most effective one was to become famous. Therefore, Li Dong quickly made a big move.
On July 27th, Far Away Company and the Pingchuan Municipal Bureau jointly contacted the media and held a grand donation ceremony.
In order to repay the citizens of Pingchuan, fight crime, and create a harmonious society, Far Away Company donated ten patrol cars to the Pingchuan Municipal Bureau.
Among them, six were from the Municipal Bureau and four from the Yaohai Branch, totaling two million.
The Municipal Party Committee, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and the Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau all attended the donation ceremony. Far Away Company's General Manager, Sun Tao, represented the company's Chairman, Li Dong, and delivered a donation speech.
After the ceremony, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau invited Li Dong to dinner. Both parties had a good time at the dinner table.
That night, the Pingchuan Evening News and Pingchuan Evening News both reported the news.
On the first day of the report, the response could only be said to be average. Most people did not care about the news.
However, the next day, on July 28th, Faraway Supermarket made a move again.
In order to realize the dreams of poor students in university, Far Away Company donated one million to help 300 poor students realize their dreams.
Because it was related to education, the donation ceremony was attended by more leaders.
The Municipal Party Committee and Executive Vice Mayor, Zhang Yunlong, presided over the ceremony. The Vice Mayor in charge of education of the municipal government was also present. The Director of the Municipal Education Department, the Secretary of the Municipal Youth League, and the Director of the Municipal Commission of Guan all attended the donation ceremony.
This time, the spokesperson of Far Away Company was still Sun Tao. At the donation ceremony, Sun Tao delivered a touching donation speech.
Executive Vice Mayor, Zhang Yunlong, represented the municipal government and gave great recognition to Far Away Company, calling Far Away Company a "conscientious enterprise."
On that day, Faraway Supermarket once again appeared on the pages of major media outlets.
Some media outlets directly quoted Zhang Yunlong's words as the theme, reporting: Faraway Supermarket, Pingchuan's conscientious enterprise!
And this was just the prelude. Since Li Dong had decided to become famous, he naturally would not just wait for the reports to die down.
On the 29th of July, Far away announced that it would donate one million yuan to the impoverished mountainous areas to help these children return to school.
On the 30th of July, Far away announced that in order to care for the lonely elderly, Far away Company would donate $500,000 worth of clothing and supplies to several nursing homes in Pingchuan.
On July 31st, Far away donated 500,000 yuan worth of daily necessities to several orphanages.
…
So far away, the series of actions had shocked the media and shocked Ping Chuan.
For a week, all the major media outlets were bombarded with the words Far away.
There were more than five municipal leaders attending the various ceremonies at Faraway Supermarket, and there were dozens of leaders from other departments and foundations.
So far away, not only did it attract the attention of the media and the government, but it also caused a heated discussion among the citizens of Pingchuan.
Some people said that Far away was an enterprise with a conscience, while others said that Far away was creating hype.
No matter what, Far away was indeed famous this time.
After all, it was more than five million yuan in cash. For a small private enterprise to do this, no one could refute it.
What made Far away even more famous was yet to come. On the 1st of August, the mayor of Pingchuan praised Faraway Supermarket at a public event as "the most socially responsible enterprise in Pingchuan."
This time, not only the city TV station, but even the provincial TV station had reports about Far away.
Far away was so popular that Zhang Qing and Niu Meng did not know what to do.
…
Zhang Qing's house.
Niu Meng sat on the sofa with a face as black as iron. He gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Fei was crippled. It must be that b * stard Li Dong who ordered someone to do it!"
Zhang Qing glanced at him and said coldly, "I've already said that it's useless to look for those shady people! So what if you know it's him? Now he's in hot conflict with the city bureau and branch office. Without solid evidence, what can you do to him? "
Niu Meng said unhappily, "I don't believe I can't deal with him …"
Zhang Qing interrupted him impatiently, "Don't talk about useless things! That Li guy is throwing money around. The city council and city government are all paying attention to him. Don't cause any trouble at this juncture. If something happens, no one can save you. "
Although Niu Meng was unwilling, he knew that Zhang Qing was not lying.
Especially when he remembered that Zhang Qing's father had contributed to this, Niu Meng was even more annoyed. "Uncle Zhang is too much. What kind of enterprise …"
Halfway through his sentence, he saw Zhang Qing looking at him coldly. Niu Meng was immediately embarrassed and did not dare to continue.
The two of them were silent for a while. Seeing Zhang Qing's sullen face and not saying anything, Niu Meng said anxiously, "Brother Qing, what do you think we should do now? That Li guy is in the limelight now. We can't afford to offend him. But are we just going to let the Hua Manor's land go? "
Zhang Qing frowned and said irritably, "Other than that Li guy, there are many rich people in Pingchuan. It's not like I'm taking it for free. There's bound to be people who will cooperate with me!"
Niu Meng curled his lips. If they could find someone else, why would they bother to pester Li Dong?
After thinking for a while, Niu Meng said, "If we don't get the money soon, we won't be able to suppress the situation in Yaohai anymore. This land will definitely be auctioned in a month at most."
"I know!"
Zhang Qing snorted unhappily. He had touched a sore spot.
Niu Meng was about to speak when Zhang Qing's phone rang.
Picking up the phone and glancing at it, Zhang Qing hurriedly signaled for him to be quiet. He picked up the call and said, "Dad, what's the matter?"
"…"
When he picked up the phone, Zhang Qing's face turned green and white.
When he hung up, Zhang Qing seemed to have lost all his strength. He sat on the sofa and did not say a word.
Seeing this, Niu Meng asked carefully, "Brother Qing, what did Uncle Zhang say?"
Zhang Qing waved his hand weakly and said, "You can go back first. I want to rest for a while."
"Then the Hua Manor's land …"
"I said, I want to rest for a while!"
Zhang Qing shouted, his heart filled with displeasure.
Not only did he suffer a setback at the hands of Li Dong, but he also lost his face in the circle and was reprimanded by the old man. During this period of time, he was almost out of luck.
Now, Zhang Qing hated Niu Meng to death. If it was not for this guy, he would not have offended Li Dong the first time they met.
Now, Li Dong would rather throw away money than cooperate with him.
In Zhang Qing's opinion, 90% of the responsibility was caused by Niu Meng.
Niu Meng was at a loss for Zhang Qing's outburst. Then, he flew into a rage!
He was also a person who cared about his reputation. After being shouted at by Zhang Qing today, Niu Meng felt that he had lost a lot of face.
Although there were no outsiders around, Niu Meng still felt embarrassed. He snorted heavily and got up to leave.
As he walked, Niu Meng thought that he should avoid interacting with people like Zhang Qing in the future.
In the past, he thought that Zhang Qing was capable. Now, it seemed that Zhang Qing was also a piece of trash!
…
Just as Niu Meng and Zhang Qing fell out, Sun Tao and Li Dong also fell out.
In Li Dong's office.
Sun Tao said with a pained expression, "You spent five million just like that?"
Li Dong was puzzled. "Didn't you say that I wanted to be famous? I feel very good now. I spent the money and became famous. Not to mention the mayor's praise, even the provincial government's name is in my name. In the future, not many people will dare to offend me. "
Sun Tao wanted to slap this prodigal to death!
Is this how you become famous?
Not to mention five million, even one million was too much for Sun Tao.
Suppressing his anger, Sun Tao said, "I won't talk about other donations. Ten cars from the Municipal Public Security Bureau is too much. Two or three cars will do!"
Li Dong did not think much of it. How could two or three cars show how rich Li Dong was?
Moreover, the police station was still very useful. For example, when the boss of Fei Yang Bar accidentally fell and broke his leg, the Municipal Public Security Bureau did not even file a case. This was the effect.
Also, if he had a relationship with the Municipal Public Security Bureau, he would not have to rely on Wu Jianguo in the future.
That old man had received so many benefits from him, but he did not accomplish much. When it was time to use him, he would shrink back. Li Dong was already unhappy.
