Li Chengyuan entered the door and saw Li Dong at home. He asked, "You're back?"
"I just got home. Dad, where did you go?"
Li Chengyuan lifted the bag in his hand and said with a smile, "I went to the market to take a look. There were some small fish left, so I got them. I'll clean them up for lunch and make some dishes."
When Cao Fang heard this, she immediately said with dissatisfaction, "Why are you eating small fish? I haven't had enough of them after so many years. It's so troublesome to make them."
"Then don't eat them. I'll make them myself!"
"Then you make them yourself. I'm not eating them anyway!"
Seeing the two of them arguing, Li Dong quickly interrupted, "Mom, didn't you have something to tell me just now?"
Cao Fang slapped her thigh and said, "Look at me. I'm angry because of the old man. Where were we?"
"You said we can't just sit around and eat."
"Yes, that's it. I mean I want to do some business. Yesterday, Little Liu and I went to the pedestrian street. There were a lot of people there. I saw a few shops selling clothes. Business is good. What do you think about me and your dad opening a clothing store? "
Before Li Dong could speak, Li Chengyuan sneered, "Clothing store?"
"Do you know what materials are used for clothes? Do you know where to buy them? Do you know what young people like? People talk about trends. Do you understand? "
Cao Fang was immediately annoyed and said angrily, "I don't understand. You know the business! How can you know at the beginning of doing business? You'll get it after a period of time! "
Li Chengyuan curled his lips and said, "Then you do it. I'm not doing it anyway."
Cao Fang said angrily, "Then what do you want to do?"
Li Chengyuan put down the bag in his hand and thought for a moment. "I want to open a small restaurant. What do you think?"
Li Dong and Cao Fang looked at each other. Then, Cao Fang frowned and said, "Why do you want to open a restaurant? With your skills, will anyone come to eat?"
Li Dong also said, "Dad, it's tiring to open a restaurant. There are people coming and going, and there's no rest all day."
The big restaurant was still fine. The boss could manage it.
However, a small restaurant was the most tiring. The boss had to do more work than the employees. In addition, he was busy all day, so Li Dong was not very supportive.
Now that he was not short of money, if the old couple wanted to do something easy, Li Dong did not have any objections, but opening a restaurant was too tiring.
Li Chengyuan shrugged and said, "Anyway, that's what I think. Opening a restaurant is more practical than opening a clothing store. Whether the food is good or not, and whether there are customers, I can tell at a glance. What's more, I've been dealing with the market for so many years, so I know what I'm buying. If you go to sell clothes, I'm afraid you won't even know that you've been cheated. "
Cao Fang was a little hesitant.
Although Li Chengyuan's words were harsh, they were indeed reasonable.
They didn't know anything about clothing stores, but they did have some confidence in opening a restaurant.
After working in the vegetable market for so many years, they often delivered goods to restaurants. Even if they had never experienced it before, they often chatted with the chefs and bosses, so they knew almost everything they needed to know.
As for the craftsmanship, they could find a chef to solve it.
She and Li Chengyuan, one was responsible for collecting money, and the other was responsible for purchasing. This was indeed reliable.
Seeing that his mother had surrendered with a few words, Li Dong quickly said, "Mom, don't you like to open a supermarket? Open another supermarket. The business of a supermarket in Pingchuan is good. "
Cao Fang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why open a supermarket? This area is full of Faraway Supermarket. It's all our family's. Do you think I'll steal your business by opening a supermarket?"
Li Dong was suddenly speechless.
Cao Fang saw this and said, "Okay, I'll think about it with your father and discuss it with you later."
After saying this, the couple went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
…
After lunch, Li Chengyuan went into the room to take a nap.
Cao Fang washed the dishes and said to Li Dong, "I've made an appointment with Xiaomeng in the afternoon to go out for a walk. I'll leave first."
"Lin Meng? Doesn't she work? "
"I don't know. She seems to be resting." Cao Fang said casually.
Li Dong nodded and said, "Then I'll ask Old Zhou …"
Halfway through his words, Li Dong remembered that his car was smashed. Now, Zhou Haidong was probably still walking barefoot.
However, there were a few public cars at the company. Li Dong continued, "I'll ask Old Zhou to send you there. There are people coming and going. Don't rub against them."
"No, it's not like they're made of mud. It's not that easy to rub against them."
After saying that, Cao Fang changed her shoes and was about to go out.
Li Dong saw this and said, "Are you familiar with it? Do you want me to accompany you? "
"Forget it. You go do your thing. By the way, there's something I want to tell you. I've asked Chen Jing to help me look after the supermarket in Dongping. I'll also let them live in the house. It'll be ruined if no one lives there for a long time. "
Li Dong frowned. Why did Mom want to ask Chen Jing to look after the store?
Chen Jing was not a good person. Don't let it get tangled up in the end.
Cao Fang changed her shoes and saw Li Dong frowning. She said helplessly, "It's about Xiao Lan. Chen Jing said that there are no good high schools in Chen Jiawan. Xiao Lan will be entering high school next year. Xiao Lan's results are good and wants to enter the county's First High School. Your dad thought about it and asked someone to transfer Xiao Lan to Third High School."
"Xiao Lan is going to school. We can't let Chen Jing stay in Chen Jiawan. Moreover, there's no one living at home. They don't have to rent a house. "
Li Dong was not talking about the house. He thought for a while and said, "Then let Chen Jing look after the store?"
"Don't worry. I'll pay her salary. The others in the store are not familiar with her. Chen Jing knows what to do."
Seeing his mom so confident, Li Dong did not say anything else.
After sending Cao Fang off, Li Dong was ready to go to the company.
He had been in the hospital for the past few days. He did not ask about the e-commerce department and the delivery company, so he had no idea what was going on.
…
The Global Building was not far from Wanyuan District.
Li Dong walked to the company. When he went upstairs, he bumped into Qin Hai who was coming down.
When Qin Hai saw Li Dong, he grumbled, "Can't you calm down a bit? What if something really happens? Yuhan called me a few times. She asked if you've been too busy recently. I don't know what to say. You can call her later! "
Li Dong hurriedly said with a smile, "Uncle Qin, you also know that this matter can't be blamed on me. I've called Yuhan this morning. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. "
Qin Hai did not say much when he saw people coming and going near the elevator. He changed the topic and said, "I've set up a few delivery points. I'll get them to try accepting some orders after recruiting people. What do you think?"
"So soon?"
"That's easy. We'll just set up a shop. We won't accept big orders in the early stage. We'll get some small ones. We'll get them familiar with the process after we've recruited them. I'll get them to accept orders officially. "
Li Dong frowned and said, "There's no rush. They're all rookies. Don't let any problems affect Far Away's reputation. We'll poach a few managers from other delivery companies. We'll try after some training. "
Qin Hai thought about it and said, "That works too, but it'll cost a lot."
"It doesn't matter if it costs a lot. We can't do it half-heartedly. Logistics has a good future. Although I'm not going to get involved, I can't ruin my reputation in the early stage. "
It would definitely be a mistake if they followed Qin Hai's idea and sent a bunch of rookies.
Although Far Away had not officially entered the express delivery industry, these delivery points represented Far Away.
If something went wrong, it would be hard to restore their reputation in the future. The cost was not proportional to the reward.
Qin Hai nodded. He looked at the time and said, "I'll get going then. I still have to go to the delivery center."
"Okay. You go first. I'll go up."
After saying goodbye to Qin Hai, Li Dong got into the elevator.
When he entered the office, the employees greeted Li Dong warmly when they saw him. "General Manager Li, you're here."
"General Manager Li, are you feeling better?"
"General Manager Li, take care of yourself."
"…"
Li Dong nodded and greeted them one by one. He let out a long sigh after entering the office.
It seemed like everyone in the company knew about his show of power. Not only were they more respectful than before, but they were also more enthusiastic.
The boss was embarrassed, and the employees could not lift their heads.
The boss was in the limelight, and the people in the company felt that they had gained face. Their sense of belonging was much stronger. It seemed like he had done the right thing this time.
If he had chosen to do things in the dark like before, even if the Qi family suffered a loss, in the eyes of those who did not know the truth, it would still be Li Dong who had lost face. Moreover, he did not dare to do anything after losing face.
As time passed, not only would the respect decrease, but it would also be difficult to win people's hearts.
When Li Dong arrived at the office, Sun Tao came looking for him.
After entering the office, Sun Tao first asked about Li Dong's health, then said, "Someone has contacted us about the shares, but the price is not high now. Do you think we should wait a little longer?"
"How much?"
"90 USD per share."
Li Dong frowned. During this period, Baidu's share price had fluctuated. Now, it was not even as good as when it was first listed.
The difference between 90 USD per share and 100 USD per share was not small.
Li Dong planned to sell 100,000 shares this time. If he sold them at 90 USD per share, it would only be 70 million RMB.
Thinking of Baidu's share price in the future, Li Dong was full of reluctance.
After a while, Li Dong gritted his teeth and said, "Wait a little longer. If it can reach more than 100 USD, then I will sell it."
Sun Tao nodded.
Li Dong said again, "100,000 shares may not be enough. I'm going to increase it a little. 200,000 shares. What do you think?"
Sun Tao said indifferently, "I don't have any objection. After all, shares are too fragile. I don't have any objection even if you sell all of them."
In Sun Tao's view, no matter how high the share price was, it was not as reliable as real money.
Baidu's share price was now unstable. It was not as good as when it was first listed. In addition, a large number of private analysts had recently analyzed that Baidu's share price was too high, which made Sun Tao even more uneasy.
Li Dong heard this and said, "Then 200,000 shares. When we get the money, we will divide the rest, except for the additional 100 million investment. We are the chairman and the general manager, but our lives are not as good as those rich second generations. It's too miserable. "
Sun Tao heard this and suddenly laughed.
However, he did not object. Although Li Dong's words were a little exaggerated, it was indeed the truth.
Don't be fooled by their wealth. In fact, they were not as good as those rich second generations.
Sun Tao calculated in his mind. If he sold 200,000 shares, after deducting all kinds of taxes, he would probably get around 160 million.
After deducting the 100 million investment, he could get 6 million from the remaining 60 million, which was enough for him to buy a big house.
His house was a little small. Originally, when he saw Li Dong bringing his parents to Pingchuan, he also wanted to buy a house. However, he was a little short of money and did not make the trip.
Now it seemed that he would not be short of money after a period of time.
Then, the two talked about other things. Li Dong stood up and said, "I will go to the e-commerce department to see how Shen Qian is doing."
Far away from the headquarters, there was only one floor, and there were many people. The e-commerce department could not fit all the people. In addition, there were some servers and other things, which took up more space. In the end, Shen Qian rented another floor.
It just happened that the company on the 12th floor of the Global Building moved out before the New Year, so Shen Qian rented it.
Although it was separated by a few floors, it was still a building, so it was not far.
Seeing that Li Dong was going to the e-commerce department, Sun Tao also said, "Then I will go and have a look. Nowadays, the Internet is getting more and more developed. A few days ago, I used Taobao to buy a few things. I feel that it is very convenient. If I don't learn, I will really fall behind."
Li Dong laughed and said, "Yes, we need to learn, but there is no need to overly praise online e-commerce. After all, society cannot do without industries. If we all go into e-commerce, I am afraid that the people below will rebel. There are so many people without industries to support them. Do you expect e-commerce to support them? "
Sun Tao nodded with a smile and did not say anything.
This kind of thing was too far away from them. It was not their turn to worry about it.
