Li Dong did not worry too much about Hsu Shengzhe being the banker.
At night, Li Dong went to accompany Hu Ming.
Seeing that Li Dong had already invested, Hu Ming did not hesitate. He quickly made up his mind to invest 70 million yuan.
Hu Ming's business was not small. Although 70 million was not a small amount, it was not a lot to him.
Hu Ming was able to use 70 million to pull himself, Li Dong, and Hsu Shengzhe into the same boat. No matter if it was a loss or a profit, this was a good deal.
One was the successor of Longhua, and the other was the helmsman of Far away.
Both of them would be the pillars of Jiangbei's business world in the future. Hu Ming was not even 50 years old this year, and he would have a lot of time to interact with them in the future.
This was the time when both of them did not have their own supporters. It was better to befriend them now.
After talking about the investment, Hu Ming did not dwell on it. Instead, he changed the topic. "Director Li, Director Xu, I have an idea recently. How about you two listen to it?"
Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe looked at each other and nodded. "Please speak, CEO Hu."
"It's like this. Many places have started to set up charity foundations recently. I have checked, and there are no large-scale charity foundations in Jiangbei. Although Jiangbei's economy is not developed, we cannot fall behind others in terms of charity work. I have discussed with a few friends and decided to set up a Jiangbei Charity Foundation. Are you interested in joining us? "
"Jiangbei Charity Foundation … …"
Li Dong was speechless. Then, he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green!
He had forgotten about this. This was the best way to become famous, and it was also a huge umbrella!
If he could set up Jiangbei's first large-scale charity foundation, Li Dong would be able to do whatever he wanted in Jiangbei.
This was a huge loss!
In this day and age, to be honest, which big businessman didn't have a lot of titles on them?
Director of a certain foundation, president of a certain charity association, president of a certain protection association …
Could it be that big businessmen were really so passionate about charity?
There were certainly entrepreneurs who did charity from the bottom of their hearts, and there were quite a few of them. However, there were very few of them who did not seek fame at all.
At Li Dong's stage, the initial capital accumulation was almost complete.
This was actually the time for him to seek fame. Unfortunately, he hadn't thought of this before, and Hu Ming had snatched it away from him.
Li Dong regretted in his heart, but it wasn't too late. Although he couldn't get first place, it wouldn't be a big problem to set up his own foundation.
As long as he did charity work well, it would not be a problem for him to become famous.
Although Li Dong felt regretful, Hu Ming had taken the initiative to invite Li Dong to the Charity Foundation. Li Dong did not hesitate and replied. "No problem. Being passionate about charity is what an entrepreneur should do. I, Li Dong, am duty-bound to do my part for Jiangbei's charity!"
Hu Ming and Hsu Shengzhe couldn't refute him.
This was not Li Dong's first time doing charity. The $10 million painting incident that caused a sensation in Jiangbei was Li Dong's doing.
Hsu Shengzhe also said, "I'm fine with it. Director Hu, when will this Charity Foundation be set up?"
"It's currently being approved. It will probably take another two months. Let me thank the both of you in advance."
"Director Hu, you are too polite!"
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Hu Ming left first.
As for the investment of $70 million, Hu Ming promised that it would be transferred to his account tomorrow. Hsu Shengzhe was free to decide what to do next.
After Hu Ming left, Hsu Shengzhe sighed. "This guy has a good nose. Although he is divorced from his wife, I can guarantee that the person in Beijing is still supporting him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a big influence. Not everyone can be the Chairman of Jiangbei Charity Foundation. "
"It's just the Chairman of a Charity Foundation. Is Hu Ming not qualified?"
"You don't know anything. It's not the Chairman of a Charity Foundation. It's the Jiangbei Charity Foundation. Do you understand? It's a semi-official organization. If Hu Ming doesn't have someone supporting him, do you think he can be the Chairman with his status in Jiangbei's business world? "
Li Dong thought for a while and said, "What do you think about me?"
"You?"
Hsu Shengzhe didn't laugh at him. He thought for a while and said, "You are still too inexperienced. Wait for a few more years. By then, you can just be a director. There's no need to fight with them for the Chairman position."
"Okay."
Li Dong nodded. Hsu Shengzhe's words made sense.
He was indeed too young, and his foundation was weak. He had thought wrongly before.
Even if he took the initiative to set up a Jiangbei Charity Foundation, he might not be the Chairman in the end. Xu Jianghua might be the one to do it.
…
Because Hu Ming mentioned the Charity Foundation, Li Dong couldn't help but think of the little girl, Tian Xiaoyu, in Su 'an.
Li Dong remembered that the little girl said she wanted to learn how to paint. If she learned how to paint, she would paint for him for free.
At that time, he asked Liu Qi to make arrangements. These days, Li Dong had almost forgotten about her.
Thinking about this matter, Li Dong asked Liu Qi when he arrived at the company the next day, "Do you remember Tian Xiaoyu's child?"
Liu Qi quickly said, "I remember. You wanted to adopt the little girl from the orphanage."
Li Dong rolled his eyes at her and continued, "Didn't the child say she wanted to learn how to paint? Did you make arrangements for her? Did you send someone to check on her? "
"This …"
Liu Qi looked helpless. She had so many things to do. How could she remember this matter?
In particular, she went to Sunan and stayed for so long. If Li Dong didn't mention it, she really couldn't remember.
Now that Li Dong asked, Liu Qi had to tell the truth. "I just sent someone to check on her once. The orphanage hired an art teacher from outside. I asked someone to donate a batch of supplies to the orphanage and left tens of thousands of yuan. I don't know what happened after that."
"It's fine as long as you hired an art teacher. If you didn't check on her, then so be it."
Knowing that the other party already had a teacher to teach her how to paint, Li Dong was also relieved.
After all, this was what he had promised the little girl. If he didn't keep it, it would be embarrassing enough.
Knowing the general situation, Li Dong didn't say anything more. He said to Liu Qi, "You've been working hard these days. Prepare the materials for the establishment of the group. They will be used soon."
"Got it."
Liu Qi nodded and then asked, "What about the E-Commerce Department and the Property Management Department?"
"Shen Qian's side has long been prepared. It's not urgent. The main thing is the logistics company. Director Qin, please take care of the handover."
It was easy to split up the E-Commerce Department. There weren't many people and there weren't many accounts. After all, it was established not long ago. Li Dong had mentioned this before.
There were some troubles on the logistics side. The main problem was the distribution center.
After all, this time the distribution center was also attached to the logistics company. The subsidiary's finance was independent. Naturally, it was necessary to clarify with the headquarters.
Sun Tao still had shares in Faraway Supermarket. Since the last time he talked to Sun Tao about the shares, Li Dong didn't want to be vague anymore.
It was better to clear the handover now than to have disputes in the future.
Then, Li Dong told Liu Qi a few more things. Liu Qi noted them down. In the morning, Li Dong had nothing to do.
Now, Sun Tao was keeping an eye on Times. The real estate company had Wu Shengnan, the logistics company had Qin Hai, Far away had Wang Yue, and the e-commerce company had Shen Qian. Li Dong found that he could finally rest for a few days.
He stretched his body and strolled around the office a few times.
Then, Li Dong went out to patrol. Seeing that everyone was full of energy, Li Dong was very satisfied.
Since the acquisition of Times, Far away was going to establish a group company. The employees of the company were all fired up. Their fighting spirit was off the charts. This made Li Dong feel very carefree.
After strolling upstairs, Li Dong went downstairs to the e-commerce department to take a look.
Everything was good in the E-Commerce Department. There were no signs of chaos.
Although it was going to be separated to establish a separate company, in fact, the office was still here, and the staff was still the same. It was just that the name was changed. It did not affect the employees too much.
When Li Dong entered Shen Qian's office, Shen Qian was talking to Liu Hong.
Seeing Li Dong enter the door, Shen Qian seemed to see her savior. She quickly said, "General Manager Li, you came at the right time. Team Leader Liu has something to talk to you."
When Liu Hong heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then he said embarrassedly, "General Manager Li, I …"
Li Dong looked at the folder in his hand and thought for a moment before saying, "Is it still the proposal from last time?"
"No, no, I changed it. I changed it."
Liu Hong quickly explained, "Since President Shen conveyed your opinion last time, I made some changes according to your opinion. You can take a look."
Li Dong nodded and took the proposal from Liu Hong.
After sitting on the chair for a while, Li Dong looked up and said, "Compared to last time, it is more in line with my taste. But to be honest, I can't give you much support now. I think you know what Far Away is doing recently. Far Away is short on funds, and we don't have enough funds to support you.
Other than creativity, this type of microblog also needs a good online platform.
It is best if there is a portal to support it. This way, there will be an audience, and it will spread.
Far Away is not doing this. There are a few difficulties in setting up a portal. First, there are no talents in this area.
Second, if we start too late, it will be hard for us to catch up with Sina, Sohu, and other big portals.
Third, we don't have money.
Apart from these, there are other difficulties that need to be overcome. I've also read your proposal. The possibility of a microblog becoming popular by itself is really not high. "
This was not the era of mobile apps. Developing an app was enough.
If Weibo wanted to become popular, it had to be a portal or a browser. With these support, Weibo would have an audience.
Li Dong did not think about making a Weibo before, so he did not prepare for it. Now that Liu Hong changed the proposal according to his suggestion, Li Dong had to consider these things.
Seeing Liu Hong's disappointed face, Li Dong hesitated for a while and said, "How about this, I will give you five million RMB first, and you can try it. Develop this independently first. If there is an audience, or if there is hope for profits, it is possible to acquire a portal or a browser in the future. "
Liu Hong's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Shen Qian pouted, but she did not interrupt. In fact, in her opinion, Li Dong had nothing better to do.
Far away wanted to have a hand in everything. It was fine if there was a mall, since it was closely related to Faraway Supermarket.
However, a microblog was not a good idea for Shen Qian.
Facebook was popular overseas, but it depended on the situation. The school intranet in China was also a flop.
Shen Qian also looked at Liu Hong's microblog plan. Other than some improvements on the original blog, there was not much difference.
Shen Qian did not think that this microblog would become popular. Even if it became popular, the source of profit would be limited.
If he had the time, he might as well put more effort into the mall.
Currently, the mall was still limited to Jiangbei, and the mall system for the East China region had not been completed. Li Dong wanted Liu Hong to study this. Wasn't this undermining him?
Shen Qian did not try to persuade him.
Li Dong was a stubborn donkey. It was useless to persuade him. Far away, there were not many people who could change Li Dong's mind.
It was only five million. Let them try. At most, they would lose everything.
