On Longhua's side, Hsu Shengzhe might have already made up his mind.
Li Dong had only reminded them a little, and Longhua had already reached an agreement with them.
On March 29th, China Construction Engineering Corporation acquired 10% of Longhua's shares at a price of 9 billion HKD.
At this point, China Construction Engineering Corporation became Longhua's third-largest shareholder.
Li Dong's shares did not change, and Hsu Shengzhe had reached the six-month sales restriction period, and he had sold some of his shares.
At this time, Hsu Shengzhe's shares in Longhua had dropped to 50%.
… …
When Li Dong heard the news, he was still a little surprised.
Hsu Shengzhe's actions were too fast. This was not something that could be settled overnight.
It seems that even if Feng Yu did not mention it, Hsu Shengzhe had already made up his mind to find himself a strong backer.
Was China Construction Engineering considered a strong backer?
Of course. A strong backer, even stronger than Huarui!
In 2009, China Construction Engineering Corporation was ranked in the top 20 of Hua Xia's list of enterprises, and Huarui barely made it into the top 50.
Although China Construction Engineering Corporation was not famous, it was the real hegemon of the real estate group.
China Construction Engineering Corporation was not simply building buildings, but it was the most advanced real estate company in Hua Xia. Technology development, engineering exploration, equipment manufacturing, architectural design, property management … …
China Construction Engineering Corporation was good at all aspects of these businesses.
The construction industry might not be the strongest in China, but it was the strongest in terms of the overall strength of the real estate industry.
Hsu Shengzhe had looked for China Construction Engineering Corporation, and it was obvious that he had a plan.
Li Dong did not ask about the conditions that both parties had agreed on, and he did not want to ask.
Li Dong only knew that he had underestimated Hsu Shengzhe. This guy had probably made up his mind long ago.
Even if Li Dong did not help, he would find a helper to take down Vanke.
Of course, if Li Dong was unwilling to help, Hsu Shengzhe would have to pay a higher price.
If Li Dong did not promise to help him settle Baoneng, Hsu Shengzhe would have no choice but to seek help from Construction Engineering. In the end, it might not be just a matter of 10% shares.
Construction Engineering and Longhua had reached a strategic cooperation agreement. Li Dong knew that Hsu Shengzhe had done it.
This fellow was full of ambition. Who knew how much he had paid in secret.
He didn't know if it was a good or bad thing to take down the unstable Vanke.
Li Dong couldn't say anything about this.
However, since he had made a promise to Hsu Shengzhe, he naturally had to help him achieve it. On the second day of the strategic agreement, March 30th, Li Dong's private jet headed straight for Shenzhen.
Diplomacy before force!
Li Dong personally went to Shenzhen to negotiate with Hsu Shengzhe. It would be best if the other party agreed to his terms.
If they did not agree, they would not only offend Li Dong this time. Could Baoneng, who had just emerged, withstand the pressure from three parties?
Since Construction Engineering had entered Longhua, it was obvious that they had something to ask.
Baoneng now had a stake in Vanke. It was important for them to support Vanke.
As for Baoneng itself, unless a heavyweight giant came forward to support it, it was destined to be a bystander.
…
On the afternoon of the 30th, Li Dong arrived in Shenzhen.
This time, he personally came to Shenzhen. He told Hsu Shengzhe that he would help him negotiate a cooperation with Baoneng.
To the public, he said that he was inspecting the Tencent.
In fact, Li Dong had many other purposes for coming to Shenzhen this time.
This included a trip from Shenzhen to Xiangjiang. Going from Shenzhen to Xiangjiang would be a lot quieter than flying directly to Xiangjiang.
In addition, the UAV research institute that Far away had jointly established with DJI and several universities had also achieved some results. Li Dong would go and see the actual effect.
As soon as Li Dong arrived in Shenzhen, people from the Tencent and Far away personally came to pick him up at the airport.
Li Dong's working group also received many invitations from heavyweight companies, including the local government.
Some of the giants in Shenzhen also invited Li Dong, hoping to have a talk with him.
There were some jobs that Li Dong did not need to do. The working group would carry out a competition. Many people's calls would not reach Li Dong at all.
…
The leader who came to pick him up was no stranger to Li Dong.
The original Tencent veteran, Zhang Zidong, personally came to pick him up. The current CEO, Liu Zhiping, stayed at the headquarters.
On the Tencent side, Liu Hong was still the chairman.
However, Liu Hong did not spend much time here. He spent most of his time in Pingchuan. It could be said that Liu Zhiping was the main person in charge of the group's work.
Zhang Xiaolong, who was previously responsible for the development of WeChat, had now become the senior vice president of the group, mainly in charge of the mobile business.
In terms of position, he was not necessarily higher than the chiefs. However, in terms of real power and status, he was obviously slightly higher than Zhang Zidong and the other old people.
When Zhang Zidong saw Li Dong, he felt a little complicated.
In 2009, under the leadership of Brother Ma, although Tencent was thriving, there was still a gap between it and the other two companies in BAT.
Coupled with Far away, it could be said that every step was dangerous.
At that time, Tencent's peak market value was only 150 billion Hong Kong dollars.
However, since Far away was acquired and restructured, Tencent resumed trading, and its stock price skyrocketed. Coupled with the absorption of many businesses Far away, the mobile business such as WeChat was even more brilliant.
In less than a year, Tencent's market value had exceeded 600 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Compared to a year ago, its stock price had increased by 300%.
This group of old people, those who did not leave back then, had almost all made a lot of money, and they had also left Baidu and Ali behind.
From this point of view, when Tencent was acquired Far away, it brought new life to Tencent.
However, from the perspective of the old people, Far away was an invader, who took away the foundation they built, and even chased away the founder.
Zhang Zidong did not know if he was glad or angry, so unless it was necessary, he rarely went to the headquarters Far away.
When he saw Li Dong, Zhang Zidong only greeted him briefly, and did not try to get close to him.
On the other hand, Li Dong did not mind. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he smiled and said, "Pony has been doing well recently. YY's registered users have exceeded a hundred million, and at its peak, the number of online users exceeded ten million. It looks like Happy Gathering will be able to return to the top in no time."
Zhang Zidong smiled and said, "Although Happy Gathering is doing well, it's still a long way off from Tencent. Now, Tencent's WeChat users have exceeded 200 million users both at home and abroad. With the further development of the mobile internet, this number is still rising, and I think it will soon exceed the 300 million mark. Just based on this point, Happy Gathering's achievements shouldn't be worth General Manager Li's attention. "
Li Dong smiled faintly and said, "You can't say that, the foundation is different. If Pony was still in charge of Tencent, perhaps it would have done better than me. Happy Gathering's foundation is poor, and it's already not easy to achieve this. Forget it, let's not talk about Pony. How is Tencent doing? "
Zhang Zidong nodded and gave a simple report. Upon hearing that, Li Dong said, "Nowadays, society is constantly changing, and technology is also constantly developing.
Before this, Tencent, including Far away, has been doing multiple synchronized access. Simply put, it's a one-on-one approach.
Whatever business we want to do, we have to grasp it all, from one field to another, constantly expanding and expanding, constantly investing and investing.
But there are too many extended businesses. By now, everyone should have felt that the business is getting harder and harder to do, and the more we do it, the more we can't finish it.
Just one mobile business, and all kinds of derivative businesses, we might not be able to finish it in our lifetime.
So this time, I came to Tencent mainly to say one thing — open cooperation!
Focus on the core business, grasp the big and let go of the small.
Some things, it's not that we can't do, and it's not that we don't have the technology to do it, but it requires a lot of energy and investment.
This is actually not worth it, putting limited energy and investment on innovation and core business development.
As for other less important derivative businesses, we will cooperate through the platform.
This is also the path that Tencent will take in the future, from closed to open.
Not only Tencent, but Far away is also taking this path … "
Zhang Zidong heard this and deliberated for a long time before saying, "I understand what you mean, but from some of your previous initiatives, Far away is not doing link-based services?"
Li Dong chuckled and said, "I said that this is the path that we have to take in the future.
In the past, you didn't have the qualifications to do it. You were weak, so why should others cooperate with you, why should they serve you?
Now it's different, we are the hegemons, the one and only hegemons.
At this time, everyone will rely on us to develop.
Cooperation is cooperation, but there must always be a distinction between primary and secondary. Far away is the leader, there is no doubt about this.
In the early stages, others won't acknowledge it, and feel that they are qualified to be on equal footing with us.
So when the time comes, we have to convince them and let them know that Far away is not to be provoked.
Now that everyone is convinced, we can move on to the next step of the plan. "
With that said, Li Dong looked at Zhang Zidong and said with a smile, "Just like Tencent, would Pony be convinced if I said I wanted to cooperate? Even if we cooperate, there will be a distinction between primary and secondary. If I asked him to serve me, would he agree? So, running a business is the same as being a person. If you want people to be convinced, then beat them to submission! If they are still not convinced, then beat them to death! "
Li Dong said it as if he was joking, but Zhang Zidong could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He felt a chill in his heart.
Li Dong was not lying when he said he would beat him to death. All these years, almost all those who were not convinced were beaten to death by him.
Those who were not beaten to death, even if they were not convinced, had to be convinced verbally.
This was a truly ruthless person. Zhang Zidong still had some thoughts before, but after a few words from Li Dong, Zhang Zidong was a little afraid.
Although Li Dong did not seem to care much about Tencent, Zhang Zidong knew that he was watching everyone's every move.
Although there was already news circulating internally that Li Dong would be able to leave the decision-making circle soon.
But if anyone thought that they could do whatever they wanted after Li Dong left, that person would be a fool.
Li Dong was not the kind of person who would leave everything to others. Once he left, everyone would be able to stand on their own and become their own king.
If anyone really thought so, Zhang Zidong suspected that these people would die miserably.
Although this guy was young, he was very shrewd. People like Yuan Chengdao and Sun Tao were not weak, but under Li Dong's suppression, they did not even dare to let out a fart.
There were many things that one might think that Li Dong did not know, but in fact, he was very clear about it. It was just that he did not act up yet.
Now that Li Dong had said so much to him, Zhang Zidong suspected that this should be a warning to him.
Or rather, it was not only him, but also the senior members of Tencent.
He did not say these things in the Tencent Group, nor did he say these things to Liu Zhiping. He just had to say these seemingly unimportant things to him. Some words had to be considered more.
Ever since the Tencent was integrated Far Away, the division of factions was still relatively obvious.
Far Away, Tencent, and the neutral faction led by Liu Zhiping. They were not biased towards one side and mainly focused on business.
Far Away, the members of the Tencent, and the neutral faction led by Liu Zhiping. They were not biased towards one side and mainly focused on business.
As for the Tencent faction, they controlled the businesses of instant messaging, online media, and technical engineering. Recently, the two sides had not been working well together.
Zhang Zidong did not know whether Li Dong was biased or not, but Zhang Zidong felt that Li Dong was now giving him a warning.
Perhaps, he would also give Bai Feng and the others a warning.
In short, once Li Dong arrived, he hoped that everyone would restrain themselves a little, and they had to restrain themselves. If they wanted to challenge Li Dong's authority, they were not qualified.
…
The truth was as Zhang Zidong expected.
On the day that Li Dong arrived, he did not go to Tencent for an inspection. Instead, he received a visit from some of the executives in the hotel.
Soon, insider news started to spread.
Bai Feng, the former CEO of the Interactive Entertainment Business Group, was about to be transferred to the position of CTO of Far Away Technology. Wang Junyu, the former CTO of Far Away Technology, became the CEO of the Interactive Entertainment Business Group.
It seemed that the position of CTO of Far Away Technology was naturally higher than that of the CEO of the Tencent Business Group. Wang Junyu and Bai Feng swapped positions, but in fact, it was Wang Junyu who was demoted.
However, everyone knew what the actual situation was.
Far Away Technology did not have many things left. The most important thing was the Far Away Finance.
Far Away Finance had its own CEO, and Cao Jinsheng was one of them.
Above Cao Jinsheng were a few deputy CEO's and the group's director, Liu Hong. What could a CTO do?
On the contrary, it was Tencent's Interactive Entertainment that controlled Tencent's cash cow gaming business. This was the real power.
Logically speaking, this kind of personnel transfer was against the rules.
Tencent was a listed company. Changes in the senior management needed to be approved by the board of directors and announced to the public. Li Dong was only a shareholder now. He was not a direct shareholder of the other party. He did not have the right to say such a thing.
However, did anyone dare to refute Li Dong?
No one dared!
CEO Liu Zhiping did not say a word. Zhang Xiaolong, Zhao Ting, and the others did not come forward to say anything. Rumors did not spread for long.
On April 1st, April Fool's Day, the rumors became reality.
On the day that Li Dong personally came to Tencent's headquarters, Liu Zhiping held an emergency board meeting. In the absence of Liu Hong, Li Dong attended as an unknown. All the board members who attended unanimously passed this resolution.
Fast, so fast that no one could imagine it!
Tencent's business group's CEO and board member was "promoted" the day after Li Dong's arrival.
Wang Junyu, who was the same age as Li Dong, made a comeback after being shelved for a period of time. He rushed from Pingchuan to Shenzhen to take over Bai Feng.
When the board meeting was held, Li Dong casually glanced around. Those who were seen lowered their heads. No one dared to look directly into Li Dong's eyes, including Bai Feng.
For the first time, the high-ranking executives who were usually in power and thought that they had left the system Far Away completely understood that Li Dong just did not want to manage it. It did not mean that he could not manage it.
Bai Feng's sudden transfer was not necessarily a good thing for Tencent's Interactive Entertainment business. Wang Junyu, who had not been in contact with these businesses before, might not be able to smooth things out.
If it was another shareholder, they might not dare to change at this time. Even if they did, these executives might not agree.
However, Li Dong had no scruples, and there was no objection from within.
So far away, no one dared to question Li Dong or challenge his authority, whether it was a company that was acquired or developed by itself.
This was something that people like Yuan Chengdao would never be able to do.
…
Li Dong mainly wanted to give Tencent a warning. Other than Bai Feng, he did not make any big moves.
There were many reasons why he made a move on Bai Feng.
In fact, it had to go back to the 2008 Olympics.
At that time, Li Dong was in Shancheng. Bai Feng called Li Dong, hoping to annex East Star.
Li Dong asked her if she had contacted the Sun family, but Bai Feng denied it.
From then on, Li Dong had a thorn in his side.
Li Dong was not a stingy person. Of course, he was not that generous either. When Bai Feng exposed her ambition in Tencent again, she hoped to take a step forward and wield more power when Li Dong and Liu Hong quit Tencent.
At this time, Li Dong calmly let this ambitious woman retire to her old age.
He could tolerate ambition, but he could not tolerate betrayal.
Not everyone was Sun Tao. Wu Shengnan's initiative to leave Far away might not be subjective. She could see it more clearly than Bai Feng.
She had stabbed a nail in Li Dong's heart. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Li Dong's blood was cold.
Hu Wanlin thought that Li Dong had a lover, but that was only her opinion.
If anyone really thought that they had seen through Li Dong, that would be a foolish idea. This kind of person would eventually die a quick death.
Outsiders might not know, but Wu Shengnan had seen two cases.
One was from Feng Jingsong, and the other was from the Liu family of Sichuan.
At Li Dong's level, he had personally come out to eliminate the root of the problem and kill his enemies in front of him. Who would dare say that such a man had a lover?
Wu Shengnan had urged Yuan Chengdao to fight for it. Yuan Chengdao had been tempted at the time, but he had suppressed his desire later on.
Therefore, when Sun Tao and the others wanted to fight for it, Yuan Chengdao was the one who gained the most in the end.
Li Dong did not hide it. He only told everyone that you could only take what he gave you.
If he did not give it to you, he would cut off your hands and feet.
If Sun Tao did not have a past relationship, he might not have ended up well.
At that time, Wu Shengnan had completely seen through Li Dong. He did not want her to take more, and she did not have the confidence to fight for more. Therefore, Wu Shengnan left.
Now it was Bai Feng's turn, and the result was the same.
As for Qi Yunna, she did not want to get much, but Li Dong gave her a lot.
Many times, people like Wu Shengnan and Yuan Chengdao felt that being in the king's company was like being in the company of a tiger. It was best not to guess about that young man. Otherwise, the more they thought about it, the more disappointed they became.
