"One hundred and twenty billion USD."
This was Li Dong's latest wealth statistics.
In fact, Li Dong's wealth had reached one hundred and ten billion USD when Weibo went public in 2009.
Now that half a year had passed, Li Dong's personal wealth did not seem to have increased much.
With the rise of Weibo and Tencent's share prices, it seemed like Far Away's wealth had not increased at all.
But in fact, in the second half of 2009, Far Away's business had achieved breakthroughs.
The one hundred and twenty billion USD statistics would sometimes attract some criticism.
Many people felt that Forbes was deliberately taking revenge on Li Dong. Some people even encouraged Li Dong to sue Forbes again.
…
Even Bai Su felt that there was something wrong with Forbes' statistics.
An increase of ten billion USD was an unbelievable increase for anyone.
But for the legendary Li Dong, it was too low.
Li Dong did not feel this way. He simply glanced at the statistics and put it aside.
Bai Su was slightly surprised. After all, the current Li Dong was still somewhat different from before.
In the past, when Li Dong saw this data, he would have been furious.
Li Dong seemed to have noticed her surprise and smiled, "Why? Something's wrong?"
Bai Su shook her head.
Li Dong did not mind. He smiled and explained, "The statistics are accurate. It's about what I expected. Now, Tencent's market value has exceeded six hundred billion HKD. Far Away and I hold sixty percent of the shares, which is worth about 48 billion USD. Weibo's market value has exceeded 40 billion USD. I hold thirty percent of the shares, which is worth 12 billion USD. Together with the integrated Far Away Retail, it's worth about 420 billion RMB. I hold eighty percent of the shares, which is less than 50 billion USD. Other industries such as Far Away Logistics, Far Away Finance, Far Away Investment, etc. are valued at ten billion USD. It's not an underestimate. "
After Li Dong finished speaking, he smiled and said, "The reason why you have the illusion that the growth is too slow is because So far this year, there seems to be a lot of activity, but in fact, it is mainly about integrating resources.
Acquiring a company did not mean that the value of the company would increase.
Before these resources were digested, they could not be converted into actual value.
Taking Distance Retail as an example, compared to August, there was not much growth.
The main reason was that the current retail group was still a messy business. There was only a system, but no actual combat power.
Forcefully merging these enterprises together might seem huge, but in reality, whether or not it could produce additional effects depended on the later stages.
Therefore, at this time, the actual value of Distance Retail, especially the e-commerce business, was not as high as before.
Sometimes, 1 + 1 might not be greater than 2. At the very least, it would not be recognized by others before there was an actual effect.
But once I digest these spoils of war, it will be completely different. "
Bai Su nodded, agreeing with Li Dong's explanation.
In fact, there was no need for Li Dong to explain to her. It was probably because he was in a good mood that he said a few more words.
After briefly talking about wealth, Li Dong was not prepared to go too deep.
But Bai Su thought about it and said, "So far away retail, after it goes public, you will be the first billionaire in the world to have a wealth of more than a trillion RMB."
Li Dong laughed and said, "Is this something I should be concerned about? Whether it is a trillion or ten billion, it is actually not important now. So what if it reaches a trillion? This is the literal definition of wealth. At least I can't see that much money. Once I sell all the shares of the major companies, it will not even be worth a hundred billion, let alone a trillion. Forget it, let's not talk about this. You have been in Huabei for some time. How do you feel? "
In September, Bai Su officially joined Huabei.
Now, almost five months had passed. For other companies, it was not a long time, but for So far away, five months was not a short period of time.
"Fulfilling."
Bai Su summarized it simply.
She had been in Huabei for less than five months. She did not always stay in the administrative department. The last time Qi Yunna came back, Li Dong asked Qi Yunna to rotate Bai Su's duties.
In fact, for the past few months, Bai Su had spent most of her time in various departments, including the grassroots system.
It was only a few days ago that she was transferred back to Huabei as the deputy director of the administrative department.
Upon hearing that, Li Dong smiled and said, "It's good that you feel fulfilling. I have been paying attention to your situation. In the beginning, you were the kind of person who did not have a good mouth and did not work well.
Later on, you learned to be careful with your words and actions.
Don't think that just because you have been my secretary, you really know everything.
Even I dare not say that I know everything.
Sometimes, a matter, in my opinion, is very simple. I can just casually throw it out and someone will naturally take care of it.
But you are different. You do not have this right, nor do you have the capital to make people believe you.
The middle and lower management is more of an executor.
At this time, you should calm down and properly play the role of an executor.
At this time, there is no need for you to issue some far-sighted suggestions. This is the right and obligation of the higher-ups.
If you do it well, there will naturally be room for you to display your abilities in the future.
But if you can't even be an executor, how can you be a decision-maker?
Far away, which decision-maker did not rise up from the position of an executor?
You know CEO Qi's experience. CEO Sun and CEO Wang also had a bumpy road before becoming deputy directors. That is how they got to where they are today.
CEO Yuan's journey is smoother than theirs. But for the past few years, he has always played the role of an executor. The decisions have nothing to do with him.
You young people, don't bite off more than you can chew from the beginning and think that you can do anything … "
Bai Su felt a little headache. Can you not use this tone?
You speak as if you are in your seventies or eighties!
But since Li Dong said it, she could only listen quietly.
Fortunately, Li Dong only mentioned it briefly. At the end, he said, "In general, you have done quite well in Huabei.
Actually, for you, at this time, not making any mistakes is success.
Many people like you, when they come to the branch organization, feel that they are so great, that they are a cut above others. They see things further than others. Just a little bit of flattery, and they even forget what their surname is.
Of course, this kind of people die quickly.
If you can settle down, don't make any mistakes in the early stages, and slowly integrate, then you will be considered a success.
Far away's reputation as a female general is now known by everyone in the business world.
But Qi Yunna, Wang Yue, and the rest have now reached the peak.
As for the middle and lower levels, there are no more successors emerging.
Currently, only Chen Ying, who was in Shanghai, was doing quite well. Among the other female managers, there wasn't anyone who was eye-catching.
As for you, what you're thinking about right now isn't promotion or anything else, but doing your job well.
No matter how great your ability is, you still need to have a foundation to display it.
Even for me, to be in charge of this big stage Far away, I have spent a lot of time and energy … "
Li Dong and Bai Su talked a lot, and Bai Su kept listening.
In the end, Li Dong suddenly said, "For a woman, or for anyone, a career is a part of life, but it doesn't mean that it is the only thing.
Especially for women, a career is not everything in life.
While you are still young, and your career is not so busy, you have to manage the other things that need to be managed.
Go back to see your parents more often. After you are done with work, the necessary social activities are also indispensable.
I don't want a large number of old leftover women to appear in Far away a few years later.
All of you are like this, and this makes me very worried. Do you understand? "
Li Dong realized that he now had the potential to be a matchmaker.
Not only did he have to worry about these middle and upper level managers' work, but he also had to consider their private lives. It was not easy being a boss.
Li Dong did not only say these words to Bai Su, but to many people.
Of course, there was no way for Li Dong to forcibly change the effect of the words.
It was not known whether Bai Su heard it or not, but she said slightly perfunctorily, "I understand."
Li Dong glanced at her and laughed. "Forget it, I don't have to worry about this. You are all smart people, and it is good that you know what you are doing. You go to Boss Qi's side to do the work handover. Since you are back, you can stay for a few more days. Consider it my personal special treatment for you. "
Bai Su did not say anything and nodded.
When she left the office, Li Dong sighed and said with emotion, "A man can't be too outstanding!"
At this moment, no one was present, and naturally, no one refuted.
Even if someone was present, it would be difficult to refute. At least, the current Li Dong was indeed outstanding to the point that no one could surpass him.
…
For Li Dong, Bai Su's matter was not a big deal.
According to the popular saying at this time, there are many people who have a crush on me. Who do you think you are?
Along with the passage of time, these unknown feelings would gradually fade away.
After a few years, these former feelings and crushes would all become memories.
Who didn't have a Prince Charming or Snow White in their hearts?
But after all, reality was reality. Recognizing reality was also a part of life.
Some people could recognize reality, and some people felt that reality could also be changed.
For example, Hu Xiaorui.
When Li Dong saw Hu Xiaorui again, it was only a few days before the New Year.
Lanshan Club.
From the moment he entered the door, Hu Xiaorui looked at Li Dong as if he was a rare animal.
It was not until Li Dong was puzzled that Hu Xiaorui picked up her drink and took a sip. She said with a smile, "These days, I have been dealing with TVB in Hong Kong."
As soon as she mentioned Hong Kong, Li Dong felt that the situation was not good.
Sure enough, Hu Xiaorui then said with a smile, "I heard that your fund company has been set up, so I went to have a look. I didn't expect … "
Li Dong said calmly, "Didn't expect what?"
Hu Xiaorui snorted and said, "Do you think you can still hide it from me?"
Seeing that Li Dong did not say anything, Hu Xiaorui did not continue this topic. She said with a smile, "The construction of my garden has started, and I will probably be able to move in at the end of next year. At that time, I will move in. Have you thought about what gift to give me? "
Li Dong rolled his eyes. Wasn't it too early to think about this when the construction had just started?
Hu Xiaorui did not wait for his answer and said with a smile, "In fact, I don't lack anything now, but a man, don't you think so?"
"Cough, cough, cough …"
"Stop coughing. It's like this every time."
Hu Xiaorui's face was full of disdain, but soon she showed a smile and said, "It's okay, take your time. I'm not in a hurry. If you don't think it's suitable, I can actually move to another place, so you don't have to worry. "
Li Dong said with a wry smile, "Haven't you considered other options?"
"Why should I consider other options?" Hu Xiaorui said disapprovingly, "When all material things can be satisfied, at this time, it is more to satisfy the spiritual needs.
Actually, all my problems are not a problem now, including my parents. I have made it very clear that I am just pestering you.
The problem is not me, but you.
Of course, it is not actually you. You are only thinking about Shen Qian.
In fact, this seemingly thinking about her is very hypocritical.
Otherwise, there would be no Yuan Xue.
In my opinion … "
Speaking of this, Hu Xiaorui saw that Li Dong's expression was changing, so she did not continue. She said with a smile, "Forget it, I won't force you.
Take it slow. In fact, it is not bad now. At least I can chat with you openly and talk about things.
No matter how jealous Shen Bingshan is, there is indeed nothing between us. It is not to the extent that we can not even have a female friend, right?
Sometimes, I really feel that this is good.
Say, if something really happens between us, will I feel a little guilty when I face Shen Qian again?
Now, I have nothing to feel guilty in front of her. A fair lady is a gentleman's desire.
Even though you're a married man, I didn't do anything to you, right?
Hmm, thinking about it this way, perhaps maintaining the current distance feels better … "
Li Dong was speechless and interrupted, "This topic is over. How is TVB?"
"Everything is going well."
Hu Xiaorui said proudly, "East Star and Far away, no one dares to rebel. Moreover, the current layout of the domestic cinema chain is becoming more and more perfect. It will not be long before East Star can also be listed. Surpassing Hsu Shengzhe is close at hand. I want to see if Hsu Shengzhe will have the face to show off in front of me at that time … "
Li Dong said amusedly, "He dares to show off in front of you? Every time he shows off, he gets blackmailed. He can't even hide. But don't be too complacent. If he can really win Vanke this time, you will still have a long way to go to surpass him. "
"It will happen sooner or later …"
"…"
The two chatted and talked about business. The atmosphere was quite good.
…
Until Li Dong left, Hu Xiaorui smiled and said to herself, "This is the right way."
For Li Dong, it was useless to force him. He could just let nature take its course.
Just like now, there was no need to deliberately say those things. They could just casually chat and talk. After a long time, everything would fall into place.
Otherwise, if she forced him, it would be like before, where Li Dong avoided her every day. That would go against her original intention.
