June 2nd.
As he had to rush back to Dongping today, Li Dong got up early.
After washing up and coming out of the room, Li Chengyuan and his wife were just about to go out.
Seeing Li Dong come out of the room, Cao Fang said with some surprise, "You got up so early today. Do you have something to do later?"
Li Dong nodded and took a steamed bun from the table. He took a bite and said vaguely, "I have to go back to Dongping today. Wang Jie is getting married tomorrow."
"Who?"
"Wang Jie!"
Upon hearing that Wang Jie was getting married, Li Chengyuan and his wife were a little surprised.
They all knew Wang Jie. They had seen him a few times when Li Dong was in school. Later, Wang Jie was expelled from school and set up a poultry stall in the market.
Cao Fang asked curiously, "Wang Jie is the same age as you, right?"
Li Dong nodded.
Cao Fang could not help but sigh. "Wang Jie is already married. How did the days pass so quickly? It looks like you have to get married soon …"
Seeing that his mother was talking about him, Li Dong quickly interrupted, "Mom, it's still early for me. I'm only in my second year. I haven't even graduated yet. "
As soon as he said this, the old couple looked at him with disdain.
Still in his second year? Do you know where the school gate is?
Back in Dongping, the couple did not know about Li Dong's situation. They thought that this guy was really studying and starting a business at the same time.
But when they got to Pingchuan, the two found out that this guy had long since stopped going to school. He was only there in name.
However, now that Li Dong's business was big, the couple did not say that he had to go to school anymore. This matter was usually brushed off.
Cao Fang did not dwell on this. She said, "Little Wang is getting married. Our restaurant has just opened. It's very busy, so I won't be going. Remember to give us a red packet when you go. Do you understand?"
"Got it." Li Dong responded and swallowed most of the steamed bun.
After barely filling his stomach, Li Dong wiped his hands and asked, "Are you going to a restaurant?"
Speaking of this, Cao Fang suddenly remembered that she hadn't finished her business yet. She quickly said, "I've arranged for Cheng Fu and the others to stay in the hotel. Your dad and I are going to have a look. We still have to send them back after lunch."
Li Chengyuan also said, "So you have to leave today. Will you be home later?"
"Yes."
"Then we'll take Xiao Lan with us. We were going to ask you to take her out to play, but it seems like that won't be possible now."
At the side, Li Lan said softly, "Why don't you let Brother bring me back to Dongping?"
Li Chengyuan hurriedly said, "That won't do. It wasn't easy for us to come here. Why go back so early? Don't you have a rest day tomorrow? I'll take care of the restaurant by myself. Ask your Second Aunt to accompany you out for two days before going back. "
Cao Fang also said, "Xiao Lan will stay for two more days and go back on Sunday. At that time, Brother Dong will arrange a driver to take you home. It won't take long."
Li Dong nodded and said to Li Lan, "That's it. Anyway, we've taken leave. Let's play here for two days."
Hearing everyone say so, Li Lan nodded gently and did not speak again.
After Li Dong finished speaking, he picked up his coat and changed his shoes. He said to his parents, "You don't have to send them to the station later. I'll call the company later and arrange a bus to send them back together. It'll save you a lot of trouble."
Cao Fang laughed when she heard that. "That's great. If you didn't mention it, I was going to hire a car. It'll save me a lot of trouble."
Li Dong put on his shoes and stood up. "That's settled. I'll ask my assistant to contact you later. When you need a car, just tell her. I still have to go to Dongping, so I won't go with you to see them off."
"You do what you need to do. We can handle it."
"Okay, then I'm leaving."
As Li Dong was about to leave, Li Chengyuan suddenly said, "I'll go down too. Let's go together."
After that, he said to Cao Fang, "Don't go yet. Help Xiaolan clean up and come back later."
Cao Fang didn't think much about it and nodded.
…
He went downstairs with Li Chengyuan and walked to the gate of the community.
After walking for a while, Li Dong asked, "Dad, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Li Chengyuan had been hesitating. When Li Dong asked, he said, "Dongzi, yesterday, Nanming …"
"Well, don't say it. Don't worry about Li Nanming. He's a lazy eater. Am I supposed to support him? Yes, I'm not short of money, but I earned it with my own hands. Who in our family isn't busy? You and Mom are already so old, but you can't sleep all day because of the restaurant. How old is that guy? He's just eating and waiting to die. Why should I care about him? "
Li Chengyuan laughed dryly and said, "Dongzi, Nanming has changed now. He said he wants to start a small business …"
"Dad!"
Li Dong stopped and looked at Li Chengyuan with a frown. "Dad, do you believe Li Nanming's words? If he can change, even a dog can stop eating sh * t! I know he's your nephew and you care about old times, but is that guy so hungry that he has no food to eat? He has money. When Uncle left, he left at least a few hundred thousand yuan. Together with the house in Qingyang, it's enough for him to use! People who don't have any capital can survive, but he can't? Don't worry about him. Let me tell you, he's just a dog skin plaster. If you soften this time, he will definitely pester you in the future. Anyway, I won't give him money, and I won't help him with anything. You can't either. The restaurant has just started, and there are many places that need money. In the future, I won't pay for your restaurant. You can do as you see fit. If you can't bear to part with your nephew, I don't have any objections even if you give him the restaurant. "
After Li Dong said this, he saw Li Chengyuan frowning and not saying a word. Li Dong didn't care. He walked to the Maybach at the door and said, "Dad, that's it. I still have to hurry, so I'll leave first."
With a "bang", Li Dong closed the door and waved to Li Chengyuan. The Maybach slowly drove away.
Seeing that Li Dong had really left, Li Chengyuan sighed helplessly.
Li Dong had already said this today. Obviously, he wouldn't care about Li Nanming. As for himself, he was penniless now, so he couldn't help even if he wanted to.
The restaurant had just opened. In the past, he had saved some money in Dongping, but this money had been invested in the restaurant. The rest of the money was also under Cao Fang's control.
Li Chengyuan didn't even think about asking Cao Fang to support Li Nanming's business.
…
In the car.
Li Dong first called the substitute assistant to talk about the bus. Then he picked up a few morning newspapers to read. In the past, Li Dong didn't like and wasn't used to reading newspapers.
But since Du Anmin told him to pay more attention to politics, Li Dong had gradually developed the habit of reading newspapers in the morning. If he had time at night, he would also read Jiangbei news.
Li Dong roughly read a few newspapers. Finally, he saw reports about Far away in Jiangbei Daily and Jiangbei Economic Daily.
Far away had successfully acquired a few Jia Xinglong supermarkets, and it had a huge impact on the retail industry.
Jiangbei Economic Daily also said that Far away had started to expand rapidly. This year, Far Away's development had been very fast. At the beginning of the year, Far Away had opened stores in Nanhu and Mingcheng.
This time, after acquiring three companies, Far Away had also extended its tentacles to other small and medium-sized cities.
Now, more than half of Jiangbei had been included in Far Away's territory. The Economic Daily also guessed that before the end of the year, Far Away might have taken over the whole of Jiangbei.
Li Dong briefly read. The report wasn't too outstanding. It could only be said to be average.
On the other hand, Jiangbei Daily surprised Li Dong. Far Away's acquisition of Jia Xinglong was actually on the first page of Jiangbei Daily, and it was quite a big one.
Logically speaking, there were so many things happening in Jiangbei. Far Away spending tens of millions to acquire a small or medium-sized supermarket was not a big deal. If the acquisition of Times was successful, it would still be normal. But the acquisition of Jia Xinglong was on the front page. This was out of Li Dong's expectations.
But after reading the report, Li Dong understood why it was on the front page.
The entire report only mentioned Far Away's acquisition of Jia Xinglong. The rest of the report was discussing the future development of private enterprises.
The report used Far Away's acquisition of Jia Xinglong as an example. The main point was to say that the future of small, scattered private enterprises was bleak. Through the integration of resources, strong alliances, and expanding the market demand was the only way out for private enterprises …
Anyway, it sounded very mysterious. Li Dong shook his head after reading the report.
Bullsh * t. It was easy to say. Integration of resources, strong alliances. Wasn't it just encouraging large and medium-sized enterprises to swallow up those small enterprises?
The law of the jungle was the law of the jungle. There was no need for guidance. Who didn't understand this logic when doing business? The key was understanding it, but it also depended on whether it was worth it or not.
It did not mean that the bigger the enterprise, the better it would be. Sometimes, forcefully acquiring some small enterprises with no future would drag the enterprise down. Blindly pursuing the big and comprehensive was not the way to develop a business.
After reading the report, Li Dong threw the newspaper aside. But soon, he picked it up again.
Li Dong did not pay attention to it earlier. Now that he saw the headline, he was stunned and mumbled, "Old Du is really going to do it?"
The headline was about Du Anmin's recent visit to a few small and medium-sized logistics enterprises. During the business meeting, Du Anmin talked about the idea of concentrating development and becoming stronger.
Others may not understand the meaning of Du Anmin, but Li Dong knew that Du Anmin was preparing to invest in the construction of a large-scale logistics park.
Li Dong touched his chin. He was not thinking about how Du Anmin would build the logistics park, but whether he could get a share in it.
If he wanted to build the largest logistics park in Huadong, the investment would be at least close to ten billion yuan. If he could get involved in such a big project, he might be able to make a lot of money.
However, Li Dong did not think of what to do for a while. Far away, there were many things to do now. Li Dong decided to wait and see.
If there was a chance to make money, then he would get involved. If he missed it, then forget it. Anyway, he now had a lot of profitable projects at hand. There was no need to pay attention to this area.
After reading the newspaper, Li Dong began to close his eyes and rest.
At about ten o 'clock, Li Dong's car entered Dongping.
Li Dong's cell phone just rang. When he looked at the number, it was Wang Jie.
