At night, in the hotel room.
Li Dong did not invite many people. Far away were Wang Yue, Liu Hongmei, and his secretary, Chen Ke.
Wu Shengnan from Dongyu Real Estate, Zhang Qing, the director of the strategy department, and Wang Lei, the finance director and Liu Hongmei's former assistant, came from Far away.
Including Shen Qian and Li Dong, there were only eight people in total.
When Li Dong arrived, everyone had already arrived.
Shen Qian glanced behind Li Dong and asked, "Your girlfriend didn't come?"
Li Dong waved his hand and said, "She went out for dinner with her classmates. It's good that she didn't come. We can celebrate it internally."
A smile appeared on Shen Qian's face. She nodded and said, "Indeed, we should celebrate!"
Then she handed a newspaper to Li Dong and said, "Take a look."
Li Dong took the newspaper but was not in a hurry to read it. He asked everyone to sit down first and then lowered his head to read it.
Li Dong suddenly smiled. "That's fast!"
This was the Jiangbei Evening News. The headline on the front page was about Li Dong. The evening news was not as formal as the morning newspaper. It was more entertaining.
The report had a very detailed retelling of today's auction.
Among them, the largest piece was the fight between Li Dong and Xu Jianghua. In the report, it even specifically pointed out the grudge between the two.
Li Dong read the report and smiled. "It's not bad. It's quite objective. They didn't deliberately discredit me."
Shen Qian rolled her eyes and said, "Is there a need to smear your name? Your reputation isn't any better now. Why would they bother with that?"
Hearing this, everyone could not help but want to laugh.
But in the end, they endured it. Shen Qian could joke with Li Dong, but they were not qualified.
Shen Qian did not continue after saying this. She said, "It's almost 6: 30. There will be reports about this auction in Jiangbei News. I want to see if you are on camera."
"Jiangbei News is reporting on the auction?"
Shen Qian shook her head and said, "The main point is not the auction, but the country's housing reform policy. This time, isn't it to support the 70/90 policy? I have to report it."
Li Dong nodded to show that he understood. Then, he smiled and said, "I don't think everyone is looking at good news, but the fact that housing prices are going to rise again. I don't know if we should be happy or sad."
Originally, the country introduced this policy for ordinary people to be able to afford to buy a house, but when it came to the specific implementation, it was somewhat different.
In any case, until now, the housing prices didn't fall but rose. Li Dong didn't know if the people who made the policy had already considered this problem. Anyway, it didn't have much to do with him now, so he was too lazy to care.
It was almost 6: 30 pm, and there was a TV in the room.
Shen Qian turned on the TV, and everyone began to order dishes while waiting for the news.
Before this, Li Dong didn't notice it. But when it was time to order wine, Li Dong finally realized it.
He looked at the people around him and smiled bitterly. "Why does it feel like there are more women than men? It seems like only Director Zhang and I are men. There are too many women."
Wu Shengnan smiled and said, "Women can hold up half the sky. Boss, the more women there are, the more capable women are. In the future, you men can just sit at home and watch TV and take care of your children. Just wait for us to take care of you. "
Li Dong and Zhang Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Zhang Qing didn't dare to retort, and Li Dong was too lazy to retort. They let Wu Shengnan be proud of herself.
After everyone had ordered, and the waiter started to serve the dishes, the news finally started at 6: 30 pm.
Jiangbei News. If Du Anmin had something to do that day, he would be the first to report it.
This time, it was Du Anmin who appeared first.
After watching for a while, Li Dong was surprised. "So fast?"
The others didn't understand what Li Dong meant, but Shen Qian smiled and said. "It's alright. The location has just been selected, and it will take at least 3 to 5 years for the construction to start."
Both of them were talking about the logistics park. When Li Dong was preparing for the loan, he had mentioned this to Du Anmin.
It was the end of May. It had only been a month, and Du Anmin had already selected the location. This was not slow for the government.
The news was about Du Anmin's inspection of the logistics park. Li Dong looked at it for a while and frowned. "This place looks familiar."
"Of course it looks familiar. It is just beside our distribution center." Shen Qian said.
When Li Dong heard that, he immediately became flustered and exasperated. "Isn't this taking advantage of me? I have already completed the infrastructure for the distribution center. Now that he has placed the logistics park at my place, it will save the government a lot of trouble. Who will be responsible for my initial investment? "
Wu Shengnan also understood what he meant. She laughed and said, "Boss, are you trying to take advantage of the situation? It is the first logistics park in East China. It is built next to your distribution center. The investment is more than 10 billion yuan. Not to mention other things, the land price has increased. Moreover, the government has invested so much money. Will they not do the infrastructure? When the time comes, they will have to pave the roads and build bridges. You have taken advantage of it. Just the transportation aspect alone will save you a lot of money in the future. "
Wang Yue also smiled and said, "Manager Li, this is great news. There's another happy event today. We have to drink a few more cups later."
Li Dong could not help but grit his teeth. He was just grumbling earlier. In fact, he had indeed taken advantage of the logistics park to be built next to the distribution center.
He did not know if Du Anmin did it on purpose or if the land was really suitable for the distribution center.
Anyway, this matter was only good for Li Dong. They chatted and laughed, and the first round of drinking was over.
The second round began, and everyone toasted Li Dong.
Li Dong was in a good mood today, so he did not reject anyone. The female generals were not weak. They ordered a total of four bottles of white wine and two bottles of red wine. In less than half an hour, they were all finished.
Just when the Jiangbei news was about to end, Chen Ke suddenly said, "General Manager Li, it is our turn."
Everyone quickly turned to look at the TV. The host said, "This morning, in response to the national policy, the Pingchuan Land Bureau auctioned another eight pieces of land, including the Guanhai District …"
"Far Away's Dongyu Real Estate won the commercial land east of Huaihe Road for 3.05 billion …"
"This auction has ended successfully, and it also means …"
The news report was not long, about 20 seconds. But not only did the two companies, Far Away and Dongyu, appear in the news, but there was also a short video of the auction.
In the video, Li Dong won the commercial land along the pedestrian street with 3.05 billion. This video was also on the news.
Everyone was happy to see this. Many people watched the news in Jiangbei. This was equivalent to free advertising.
Li Dong frowned slightly. He knocked on the table and did not say anything.
Shen Qian had been watching him. She was sitting next to Li Dong. She whispered, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy? "
Li Dong shook his head and said softly, "It's not that I'm unhappy. But did you hear the report just now? The host reported about Far Away's Dongyu Real Estate … "
Shen Qian understood immediately. She thought for a while and said, "This shouldn't have a big impact, right?"
"It's not about the impact. I'm thinking about something."
"What is it?"
"Setting up a company."
"You want to integrate Faraway Supermarket and Dongyu Real Estate?"
Li Dong shook his head again and said, "No. If I set up a company, I'm going to separate the e-commerce department. In addition, I'm going to separate Times. This way, I'll form a four-horse Faraway Group with Faraway Supermarket, Times Supermarket, Far Away Mall, and Dongyu Real Estate."
Li Dong was really going to be independent from Times. With the current Far Away Group, it would be difficult to control Times and bring them under its banner.
It was better to become a separate subsidiary of Far Away and change its name to Far Away Times in the future. There was no conflict in this.
It was just like Huarun Suguo under Huarun Group. It was also for ease of management.
However, Shen Qian disagreed. "I have no opinion on the mall and real estate companies. I suggest not to set up a separate subsidiary of Times Supermarket to prevent it from being too big."
Shen Qian's words made sense. Li Dong could not help but fall into deep thought.
As soon as he quieted down, the others also quieted down.
When Li Dong came back to his senses and saw everyone looking at him, he quickly smiled and said, "Eat. Why are you looking at me? Am I that handsome?"
Everyone could not help but laugh. When it was not working hours, Li Dong was actually quite easy to get along with.
Chen Ke poured another glass of wine for Li Dong and said, "There's no more wine. General Manager Li, I'll go and urge them."
Li Dong nodded, and Chen Ke left the private room.
As soon as Chen Ke left, Li Dong smiled and said, "Everyone, eat and drink well tonight. There will be enough wine and food. Today is a happy day. When we set up the company in the future, we will all be one family. Don't be shy."
As soon as they heard the news, the eyes of Wang Yue, Wu Shengnan, and the other senior executives lit up.
Set up a company!
This was big news and also a happy occasion. Setting up a company was a lot of things to talk about.
They did not care about other things. The key was that the existing hierarchy would definitely change after the company was set up.
For example, Wang Yue was only the Deputy General Manager of Faraway Supermarket.
After the company was set up, if she was still the Deputy General Manager of Far Away, her position would be much lower than Wu Shengnan.
But if she became the Deputy General Manager of the company, her position would be different. If Wu Shengnan did not hold the position of Deputy General Manager, she would be Wu Shengnan's direct superior.
Not only the two of them, but the others were also happy.
Today was really one happy event after another. People like Zhang Qing did not expect to be promoted anymore. But once the company was set up, the company's influence would be much greater.
The current Far Away and Dongyu might not be considered big companies alone.
But Li Dong had integrated his own resources and set up a company. Far Away was very likely to enter Hua Xia's top 500 companies this year.
In 2005, Hua Xia ranked last in the top 500 companies, and its annual revenue was more than 5 billion.
This year, it would probably be higher, about 6 or 7 billion. Far Away's annual revenue was only around 5 or 6 billion. It was not very confident to enter the top 500 companies.
But once it integrated Dongyu Real Estate, Times Supermarket, and Far Away Mall, which was doing well, it was almost certain that Far Away would enter the top 500 companies this year.
Although Hua Xia's top 500 companies could not be compared to the world's top 500 companies, a company that was set up for three years and entered Hua Xia's top 500 companies, and it was not even a top 500 private company. This was a different story.
