On the morning of the 3rd.
Li Dong woke up very early.
The environment of Shi 'ao Peninsula was excellent. It was backed by mountains and faced the sea, and was surrounded by trees.
Villas were hidden between the mountains and the sea, and the faint sound of the waves could be heard.
Compared to East Garden, the environment of Shi 'ao was more natural.
East Garden also had mountains, but the trees on the mountains were not as green.
East Garden also had a lake, but it was a man-made lake, unlike here, where the sea was in front.
On the lawn in front of the villa, Li Dong finished a set of self-created boxing. Tan Yong seemed to be there all the time, and at this moment, he was watching from the side, bored.
A long time ago, he introduced many capable people to Li Dong.
There were traditional Taiji masters, Sanda champions from the army, and martial arts masters who looked very good when they fought.
Li Dong had learned a little from them, but in the end, he had learned nothing. At the end of the day, in Tan Yong's opinion, there was not much difference between him and the hooligans who engaged in gang fights on the side of the road.
Therefore, when the boss proudly finished a set of boxing, Tan Yong thought about it the most. He had spent a lot of money to hire those guys, but in the end, it was all for nothing?
Tan Yong's imagination ran wild. Most of the time, he knew that he should not think so much.
Perhaps he was really old and had advanced in years.
Maybe it was because Li Dong had not worked so hard recently that the boss became lazy. Even he was a little lazy and could not lift his spirits.
In the past, he was careful, and every time he went out, Tan Yong would be nervous.
But now, Tan Yong felt that he had fallen. Sometimes, he wished that Li Dong could lie on the chair and bask in the sun, so that he could find a place to bask in the sun and stare blankly.
When he heard faint footsteps behind him, Tan Yong did not turn his head and greeted softly, "Good morning, Miss Yuan."
In the past, Yuan Xue was used to being cold, but now, perhaps because she was pregnant, her expression was much gentler than before.
Hearing that, she smiled and greeted, "Good morning, Big Brother Tan."
After greeting each other, they did not speak.
Yuan Xue was not a talkative person, and similarly, Tan Yong did not speak much.
The silence was broken when Li Dong walked over while wiping his sweat.
Li Dong and Yuan Xue didn't talk much when they arrived last night.
At this time, Li Dong wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "Why are you up so early? Pregnant women should rest more. "
A smile appeared on Yuan Xue's face. She shook her head and said, "I don't feel energetic after sleeping for so long. But you, it's been so many years. It's rare for you to rest for a while. Why are you still up so early?"
Li Dong chuckled and said, "I'm used to it. Besides, if I don't exercise, I'm going to have a big belly. In the future, when the child is a little bigger, if the belly is too big, he might not even be able to carry the child. So, good habits should be maintained. "
The two of them chatted for a while before Li Dong helped Yuan Xue to the side and sat down. Not long after, the villa staff pushed a cart and delivered breakfast.
As for the villa's housekeeper, he stood with a standard posture and humbly nodded at Li Dong and Yuan Xue.
This was a woman in her forties. At first glance, she gave off a strong sense of affinity, which made people feel comfortable.
In this villa, apart from the high-paid housekeeper, there was also a team led by her.
Two chefs, a pastry chef, two cleaners, a nursery, and herself formed a team of seven.
Apart from them, there was also a chauffeur and four bodyguards that were often not seen.
The team of more than ten people only served Yuan Xue.
Of course, when Li Dong came, he also needed to add him as the host.
Yuan Xue suddenly laughed as she ate, causing Li Dong to raise his head and look at her in puzzlement.
Yuan Xue wiped her mouth and said with a bright smile, "I just thought of my dad. Not long after the New Year, my dad and my mom came for a visit. When they saw my current situation, my mom didn't say anything, but my dad kept scolding you, calling you an evil capitalist or something. Of course, his scolding was even worse. Then, he asked Sister Chen about my salary and benefits. In the end, my dad said that he couldn't support me and that I shouldn't ask him for money in the future. "
Li Dong laughed involuntarily. Old Yuan wasn't considered poor. At least his factory could bring in hundreds of thousands of yuan a year.
But hundreds of thousands of yuan couldn't even afford the salary of this housekeeper team.
Li Dong could imagine Yuan Zhongqing's angry and helpless expression.
Of course, at that time, he would definitely curse at Li Dong. This was almost certain.
Yuan Xue laughed and said, "Of course, my dad scolded me too. After scolding me, he told me not to save money for you. He said that you're rich and don't lack money. You should spend as much as you can. Oh yes, my dad also said that when the child is born, the surname must be Yuan. It's useless if you don't agree. He said that when the child is born, he will go back to his hometown to register his household registration. Anyway, my household registration is still with him. He is the head of the family. "
Li Dong raised his eyebrows slightly and said after a while, "Isn't the surname Li good?"
Yuan Xue looked at him and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter to me. But if I'm registered with your household registration, then the surname can be Li. Otherwise, I'll listen to my dad."
Li Dong thought about it and admitted defeat, "Then the surname Yuan will be fine. Just treat it as me marrying into the family."
"You admit defeat so easily?" Yuan Xue joked, "I thought you would stubbornly say that you don't want the child if your surname isn't Li."
Li Dong ate his breakfast and said with a smile, "It's not that traditional. Uncle Yuan's anger is finally appeased, and now you want to compete with him. Isn't that asking for trouble? It doesn't matter what surname it is, as long as it's my son. "
"Are you sure it's your son?" Yuan Xue said with a smile.
Li Dong's face was a little black, and he said angrily, "Unless you women can also breed. If that's the case, I'll admit it!"
"Haha …"
Yuan Xue smiled brightly, and Li Dong quickly patted her back and said helplessly, "Don't laugh. There's another one in my belly. Is it so funny?"
Yuan Xue ignored him and laughed for a while. After a while, she calmed down and continued, "Sometimes I really feel that I'm a princess in a fairy tale, living in a big castle. It was just a fantasy, but I didn't expect it to become a reality now. "
Li Dong was about to answer, but Yuan Xue said again, "In fact, there's no need to always feel sorry for me. This is my own choice. I said a long time ago that I'm an adult, and I'll be responsible for my own choices.
I've said this to my parents, and it's the same for you.
There's no need to feel that you owe me. Every time you think like this, the distance between us actually increases.
You want to give me the best in everything, to make me happy and satisfied.
Just like this house, I'm afraid you haven't lived in such a luxurious house, have you?
Of course, if you give it to me, I'll take it, if that makes you feel happier.
If you think that spending some money on material things can make this guilt dissipate a little, that's also what I want to see.
But I don't want this kind of emotion to keep accumulating. One day, when you feel that you owe me too much and feel ashamed, that's probably the time you disappear.
And this kind of result is not what I want to see.
It's plain and plain. Come and chat with me often when you have time, look at the scenery, and talk about family affairs. That's good.
Or if I have time, I'll go to Pingchuan to see you. It's not bad. "
Li Dong looked at Yuan Xue and saw her serious face. After a while, he smiled and said, "Okay, but it's not just that. Men and women can't do less."
Yuan Xue did not blush. She said calmly, "I'm just afraid that your body is weak …"
"Go away, I'm healthy!"
Li Dong shook his head helplessly. When women did not blush, men would feel helpless.
…
Maybe because of Yuan Xue's words, Li Dong felt more natural.
On his first day here, Li Dong felt like he was a guest.
But from the second day, Li Dong really treated himself as the host.
In the villa, Li Dong received the fund manager of a private fund company. He chose to stay in the villa instead of the company. The smart fund manager must have understood his intention.
Li Dong did not ask about the future investment direction or management plan. He only talked about some digressions before the meeting ended.
Before leaving, the executive from Citibank did not invite Li Dong. Instead, he invited Yuan Xue to visit the company when she had time.
Or, when she was free, he could report some work.
Yuan Xue readily agreed, so the meeting was a perfect success.
They were all smart people. Needless to say, everyone knew what to do next.
Li Dong stayed in Hong Kong for nearly a week. During this period, he went to the golf course next door and played a few rounds with several strangers.
Yuan Xue accompanied him quietly, and Li Dong's friends, who had just met, were wise not to ask who Yuan Xue was.
The friendship between gentlemen was as indifferent as water. Maybe it was appropriate to use it here.
These friends were not ordinary people. Of course, so was Li Dong.
Everyone talked loudly, but they didn't talk about specific business or cooperation. They just treated each other purely as friends.
When Li Dong played, Yuan Xue sometimes chatted with the pregnant movie queen in the rest area. However, the mixed-race beauty would soon go to the United States to give birth, so the two sides probably would not have many opportunities to communicate.
Of course, Li Dong knew that soon after the birth, the two sides would part ways.
But this had nothing to do with him. Just like the little superman who played with him, he did not mention the grievances between Li Dong and Changjiang.
Li Dong made a name for himself in Hong Kong. Tencent's listing was only secondary. In fact, he mainly stepped on the reputation of Old Li. The key was that Baijia was forcibly taken over by Far away.
However, businessmen, especially those who were determined to get rid of the influence of their families, would not care too much about this.
More friends meant more opportunities. A friend like Li Dong should be made if possible. Even if they could not become friends, it was better not to become enemies.
Therefore, the two sides talked happily, and there was no situation of hostility.
…
It was not until April 10th that Li Dong set foot on the road back.
During this period, the business world in the mainland was already boiling.
While Li Dong played quietly and accompanied Yuan Xue for a walk, a lot of major events happened in the mainland business world.
The first major event was the fight for the shares of Vanke.
Hsu Shengzhe obtained the support of China Construction Engineering and Baoneng, and controlled 46% of the shares and voting rights of Vanke.
This guy may have been influenced by Li Dong's words. The first thing he did was to go straight to Shenzhen and jointly issued an announcement to Vanke with Baoneng.
What announcement?
Hsu Shengzhe was probably sure that he could not control that smelly and hard stone, so the first thing he said in the announcement was to reorganize the board of directors.
How to reorganize?
It was inevitable that the hard stone would leave. The number two of Vanke, General Manager Yu Liang, did not give an exact answer. In fact, Hsu Shengzhe was waiting for the other side to surrender.
If the other side did not surrender, then Yu Liang and Old Wang would be fired.
As for the rest of the board of directors, Hsu Shengzhe did not dare to fire all of them, but more than half of them would be kicked out of the team.
When the announcement was made, Vanke resisted fiercely.
Vanke's board of directors strongly opposed the restructuring. Out of 11 directors, 8 of them voted against the restructuring, and Vanke even chose to suspend trading.
Weibo and forums became the center of the war between both sides.
Many Vanke's top management expressed that they would not support Longhua's takeover and would not agree to let Old Wang leave.
But Longhua and Baoneng held an interim shareholders' meeting. During the shareholders' meeting, both sides worked together with some smaller shareholders to remove Old Wang from his position as the chairman.
But the shareholders' meeting did not let Vanke's board of directors compromise. Both sides engaged in a tug-of-war.
Old Wang was also not willing to be forced to leave under such circumstances. Suddenly, all sorts of lawsuits and public opinions were released. When Li Dong arrived in Shenzhen, both sides had not finished their fight. Now, both sides were seeking support from Shenzhen and China Securities Regulatory Commission.
Although the shareholders' meeting was the highest decision-making level of the company, the board of directors was the company's operational body.
At this time, both sides could not come to an agreement and could not implement peace. Hsu Shengzhe could not force Old Wang and his men to leave.
If he really did that, Vanke's internal strife might break out, and this was not what Hsu Shengzhe wanted to see.
This time, Vanke's board of directors had strongly opposed the restructuring, and this was the first time many companies saw the power of the board of directors.
At this time, so what if Longhua and Baoneng became the biggest shareholders?
If the board of directors could not be settled, Longhua would not be able to back down.
… …
Shenzhen City.
Li Dong saw Hsu Shengzhe with a tired and resentful face.
The first time this fellow saw Li Dong, he was extremely resentful. "You let me be arrogant once, and I was arrogant. But now, what should I do?"
Li Dong almost spat on his face. With a face full of black lines, he said, "I asked you to be arrogant, not to be stupid! You know that Old Wang is still around, and the board of directors is still under his control. How dare you force him to leave? Aren't you asking for trouble? "
Li Dong was speechless and sighed. "It's rare for a major shareholder to be forced to this extent.
Can't you take it slow?
It's better to take it slow now. Why do you have to chase Old Wang away now?
Restructure the board of directors first, and with your shares, you can't chase Old Wang away. If it's just a simple restructuring, it shouldn't be a problem to send three to four people in, right?
The board of directors is not a monolithic entity, and it's easy to get a few people to fight against them.
When the board of directors is settled, Old Wang will be under your control.
Now, everyone knows about this. Let's see what you can do. "
Hsu Shengzhe smiled bitterly. "Do you think I'm stupid? You think I don't know about this?
But time waits for no man. Vanke is still under Old Wang's control, and I heard that he will soon adopt the poison pill strategy and acquisition plan.
Once that happened, I might lose my position as a major shareholder that I had worked so hard to obtain.
At this time, I can only forcefully dissolve the board of directors.
Otherwise, I won't have the funds to increase my shareholding, and Baoneng will also waver.
Tell me, what can I do now?
Although I have fallen out with him now, it's better than letting his plan go through. "
Li Dong glanced at him and asked after a long while. "Then what are you going to do next?"
Hsu Shengzhe sighed and gritted his teeth. "I have no other choice now. If he doesn't want to leave, then I will force him to leave!
The board of directors' decision can't be passed at the shareholders' meeting!
This is his blood, sweat, and tears, and I don't believe that he can bear to part with it.
If this drags on, Vanke will not be able to function. Let's see if he can sit still.
Vanke will be finished, or I will take over. At that time, he will have a choice.
At that time, the board of directors will no longer listen to him. Should he leave with a bad reputation, or should he leave now? What do you think he will choose? "
Li Dong thought for a while and laughed. "You should not say this to me. You should say this to Old Wang. Be fierce, and don't hesitate. That's how fierce you are!
If he doesn't leave, you will stop Vanke from operating.
This will work on them. Of course, it depends on the person.
If it is Old Ma, he will not do it, and you will suffer a huge loss.
But Old Wang will probably compromise. If he is willing to let Vanke go, he would not have made this decision many years ago.
This matter cannot be dragged on, or it will be your loss.
If I were you, I will look for Old Wang now. You must be firm, and don't wait for the CSRC and Shenzhen to decide.
Tell Old Wang that if Vanke doesn't want to be finished, he should ask him to move.
If you don't want to let down those employees who hold shares in Vanke, you must resume operations as soon as possible. If not, Vanke's share prices will fall below the IPO price, and all the employees will hate you.
All your efforts will be in vain.
As for you, you are an outsider, and you will only lose money. What are you afraid of? Longhua is still around.
If not, even if you let him stay and let him complete his plan, it's fine if you lose your position as the major shareholder. Just tell him to dump his shares after the deadline.
Anyway, do whatever you want to do to Vanke. Just ask him if he is afraid!
If you want to gamble, just do it directly. You have already reached this stage, and you have spent all your money. If he doesn't give way to you now, then he will be your mortal enemy. If he doesn't die, you will be half dead. What are you hesitating for? "
Xu Shengzhe hesitated for a moment before he nodded heavily and said, "You're right. At this point, there's nothing for me to hesitate about! I will look for him in the afternoon. If he doesn't leave, I will fight him to the death! Do you think I got my position as a shareholder for nothing? That is worth tens of billions! It's not an exaggeration to say that we are mortal enemies! "
Hsu Shengzhe became tough again. If he still can't deal with Old Wang now, then he will be letting down all the money he had spent and the favor he owed.
Just to get Li Dong to help him, Hsu Shengzhe did not seem to have done anything. But this favor was more troublesome than money.
Before he came to look for Li Dong, he had already made up his mind.
But these few years, he likes to listen to Li Dong's opinion when he is hesitating. Now that Li Dong said this, he has made up his mind.
Xu Shengzhe, who had made up his mind, did not stay any longer. He quickly left the hotel and went straight to Vanke.
Li Dong did not care about him. If he still cannot deal with Old Wang now, then it is Hsu Shengzhe's incompetence. But there is a 90% chance that Old Wang will compromise, and Li Dong does not need to worry too much.
What Li Dong really cares about is Far away.
In April, Far away's retail listing had reached a critical stage.
During the few days when Feng Yu was not around, the most discussed topic in the business world was Vanke. Far away's retail listing was second.
The CSRC and Shanghai Stock Exchange had passed the review and released the prospectus to the public. Far away's retail listing was about to start.
Soon, Far away's retail listing was about to start.
The first stop was Shanghai. This time, the listing was also going to be held in Shanghai. The Shenzhen Stock Exchange mainly serves small and medium-sized enterprises. Large-scale companies had to go to Shanghai to get listed.
Originally, Li Dong had wanted to go back to Pingchuan. Now that the first IPO was about to start, even if Li Dong did not care about the company, he had to go and take a look.
Far away's retail listing was not a small matter. There were only a few trillion-dollar companies in China. If Feng Yu did not show up at this time, the outside world would be talking about it.
Li Dong was not in the mood to care about Vanke anymore. He simply packed up and continued to go to the Shanghai market with his people to prepare for the listing.
