The call was from Hsu Shengzhe.
This guy did not say anything on the phone. After asking where Li Dong was, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
After Li Dong and the rest ordered, Hsu Shengzhe's car appeared in front of the restaurant.
As soon as he entered, Hsu Shengzhe laughed and said to Li Dong, "Old Li, congratulations!"
Li Dong noticed that people from other tables were staring at him, so he pretended that he did not know this guy and continued chatting with others.
Hsu Shengzhe curled his lips and sat beside Li Dong. "Brothers, I'll treat you guys today. Old Li is so stingy, but he still wants to treat us in the hall. Let's go to the private room."
Li Dong said in disdain, "Go away. This is called atmosphere, understand?"
"So be it. Trying to explain is just a cover up."
Hsu Shengzhe laughed for a while and whispered, "Damn you. Aren't you going to ask why I'm congratulating you?"
"Do you think I'm an idiot? Other than Zhonggang Tianyuan rising, what else can it be?"
Li Dong rolled his eyes. This guy thought he was an idiot.
On the 2nd, when Tianyuan went public, this guy bought almost 10 million shares in one go. After that, he bought a lot of shares in the market and almost controlled the whole situation.
Plus, it was just listed, so the share price must be rising.
Now that a week has passed, Hsu Shengzhe must have made a lot of money.
Being exposed by Li Dong, Hsu Shengzhe was not surprised and continued to laugh, "Then, do you know how much the share price is now?"
Li Dong did not know and asked curiously, "How much is it now?"
"Guess?"
"Guess your head. Is it at 20?"
Tianyuan's initial price was only 4 yuan. On the day of listing, it rose to more than 10 yuan. Now, Li Dong did not care about the specific price.
As soon as Li Dong finished, Hsu Shengzhe said with a sullen face, "Dream on. How can it be so fast? It's 15 yuan."
"15 yuan, what are you showing off for? You only earned about 100 million. Excluding other expenses, it's only a few tens of millions."
"F * ck!"
Hsu Shengzhe raised his middle finger to show his disdain. Only a few tens of millions?
In just a few days, he had earned so much, but this guy was still not satisfied.
Tens of millions. Li Dong's 30 million could almost be divided into 10 million. This was like robbing money. How could there be such a good thing in the world? Li Dong actually did not take it seriously. This was too frustrating!
Xu Shengzhe didn't want to continue talking with him. When the food and wine came, he and Wang Jie and the others ate and drank.
Although they didn't know each other, they didn't feel like strangers.
Men, after all, when they were at the table and drank a few cups of wine, they would be brothers even if they weren't brothers. Who cared what the other party did?
After eating and drinking, everyone was a little drunk.
Li Dong didn't plan to go back tonight. He just wanted to spend the night in the villa. Hsu Shengzhe also had a house here, so he didn't need to go anywhere else.
On the way back, while the others were chatting, Hsu Shengzhe said softly, "I'm planning to withdraw from the company at the end of the month. I just want to pull the share price up to around 30%. After deducting the cost, it shouldn't be a problem for us to double our capital."
"Then aren't you making a fortune? You've earned hundreds of millions in a month. This is a good deal. Why don't you continue?"
"What do you think? There's a limit to one's Heavenly Origin potential. Thirty is just right. As for the other stocks, I don't have the capital or the ability to be the banker. "
Tianyuan was a local listed company. It didn't have much capital. Hsu Shengzhe could still use his connections to play around.
As for other listed companies, it was not so easy for Hsu Shengzhe to intervene.
The stock market had its own rules. If Xu Shengzhe interfered recklessly and angered others, he might even lose all his money at any time.
"Up to you. If you really want to double, I have more money on hand." Li Dong said, "You don't have any problems with the capital in Longhua, right? I'm waiting for the rice to be cooked. If you don't give me 700 million, believe it or not, I will bring Old Du to your door to collect the debt."
Hsu Shengzhe said impatiently, "What's the hurry? There's no need to wait until the end of the month. I will think of a way to give you the money in the middle of the month, so you don't keep bothering me."
"That's for the best."
Although Li Dong wasn't in a hurry to use the money, he really didn't have much money on hand.
In addition, he hadn't paid the 500 million from Times. Li Dong didn't want to drag it out for too long. Although the Fang father and son said they weren't in a hurry, this was a debt of gratitude.
Owing too many favors was more troublesome than owing money. It was better to return the money as soon as possible.
After returning the 500 million from Times, there would only be 200 million left from the 700 million from Longhua. Li Dong also had use for this 200 million.
Whether it was the shopping mall or the logistics company, they all needed investment.
Far away's funds were all used up. Without money, even if he opened a subsidiary company, it wouldn't be of much use. It would just be a waste of resources to feed a bunch of people.
The two of them walked and chatted. When they were about to reach the entrance of Li Dong's villa, Hsu Shengzhe seemed to remember something. He frowned and said, "You know Li Kai?"
"Li Kai? Which Li Kai? "
Li Dong asked casually. Then he responded, "That Li Kai from ZhongTian International?"
"Yes, you know him?"
"I've heard of his name, but never seen him in person."
The corners of Li Dong's mouth curled up slightly. He said calmly, "Why? Is it related to me? What news have you heard? "
In the business circle of Pingchuan, Hsu Shengzhe had more sources of information than him. Sometimes, when Li Dong didn't receive any news, it was not strange for him to know in advance.
Hsu Shengzhe nodded and said, "Li Kai has been looking for a middleman recently. I heard that he wants to establish a relationship with you. How did you get in touch with him? That old fellow is not a kind person. When he found Old Hu, Old Hu rejected him directly. Then that fellow wanted to find someone in my company. I ignored him. Is there any conflict between the two of you? "
If Hsu Shengzhe hadn't mentioned this, Li Dong really wouldn't have known.
When Hsu Shengzhe finished, Li Dong briefly explained what had happened last time.
Hsu Shengzhe frowned. He thought for a while and said, "The one with the surname Li …"
"Just say his name!"
Li Dong interrupted him and glared at him.
Hsu Shengzhe laughed dryly and continued, "Don't provoke Li Kai if you can, lest you get yourself into trouble. He's looking for you because he wants to settle Xiao Shan's matter. Do as you see fit. If it's about the same, don't keep an eye on him. "
Li Dong looked him straight in the eye and frowned. "Are you telling me to let it go? Xu, if that's what you think, then let's avoid contact each other in the future! "
Hsu Shengzhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said helplessly, "I say, can you not be so angry? I'm just trying to persuade you. Are you trying to cut ties with me? I know Xiao Shan isn't a good person, but you took care of him. There are plenty of people like him. You can't take care of them one by one, can you? What I'm trying to say is, sentence Xiao Shan to five or six years. That should be enough to save Li Kai some face. As for what happens to Xiao Shan in prison in the future, he won't take it seriously. Xiao Shan's life or death is up to you. If you do things a little more flexibly, you won't end up creating enemies for no reason, right? "
Hsu Shengzhe's words were actually the attitude one should have in the business world. Everyone could save face. As for what happened in private, it was fine as long as they didn't tear each other's faces.
Li Dong's actions were a little reckless. In Hsu Shengzhe's eyes, the losses outweighed the gains.
He wasn't afraid of Li Kai. The key was that he didn't need to compete with Li Kai.
The other party was probably just trying to save face and get Li Dongrang to step back. He wanted Li Dongrang to stop staring at Xiao Shan and wanting to kill him.
After all, Xiao Shan had followed Li Kai before. If Li Dong crippled him, where would he put his face?
Now that everyone had taken a step back, Li Dong would let him save face. He didn't care how he dealt with Xiao Shan in private. This way, both sides could be considered.
Li Kai might even remember Li Dong's kindness in the future. That was a good thing. One more friend meant one more path.
Li Dong frowned and didn't say anything. After a long time, he waved his hand and said, "I know. I'll wait for Li Kai to come looking for me."
Li Dong had also investigated ZhongTian International. Wu Jianguo had told him before, and Li Dong wouldn't ignore them.
Li Kai's influence in Pingchuan was not shallow. He could be considered the kind of person who had the wind at his back.
He had been in the business world for so many years, and had even washed his name clean. Li Dong wouldn't believe it if someone said he didn't have someone backing him.
As for who was behind Li Kai, or which group of people it was, Li Dong was too lazy to care.
Originally, after investigating ZhongTian International, Li Dong thought that Xiao Shan and Li Kai didn't have much of a relationship. If Li Kai didn't ask, he wouldn't have bothered to provoke him.
But now that Li Kai had found someone to talk to him, it was clear that he was ready to interfere.
Li Dong had to think about whether he should take a step back or not.
Hsu Shengzhe might be right. Taking a step back in terms of face and dealing with Xiao Shan in private was the way to go.
However, whenever he thought of what he had seen in the hospital during this period of time, Li Dong felt uncomfortable.
The old lady's legs were almost crippled, and she was in a daze. She couldn't even remember her own name.
There was also that mute girl. She was only five or six years old, and she was very cute. Xiao Shan and his gang actually wanted to break her legs to make her beg. Li Dong felt even more uncomfortable.
Luckily, that hadn't happened yet. If it did, Li Dong was prepared to kill that guy.
Originally, he had thought of letting Wu Jianguo deal with them. But now, it seemed that he might have to do it himself. After all, if Li Kai really wanted to protect Xiao Shan, Wu Jianguo wouldn't be able to do anything.
Seeing that Li Dong was deep in thought, Hsu Shengzhe didn't say anything else. He said goodbye to everyone and returned to his villa.
…
Li Kai's influence was indeed not shallow.
Although Hu Ming and Hsu Shengzhe had refused to be his lobbyists, Li Kai had still found someone in Pingchuan who could get on good terms with Li Dong.
The day after Hsu Shengzhe finished speaking, Li Dong received a call from Hu Wanlin.
Picking up the call, Hu Wanlin first exchanged a few pleasantries with him before saying: "Are you free tonight? If you have time, let's have dinner together? "
"You have something to talk about?"
"En, I want to introduce a friend to you."
As soon as Hu Wanlin said that, Li Dong was a little alarmed. "Friend? Who?"
"Speaking of which, he and you are from the same family …"
Next, Hu Wanlin didn't need to say anything. Li Dong knew that it was Li Kai. He interrupted and said: "When did you get involved with him?"
Hu Wanlin was stunned for a moment, then she laughed and said: "I say, Boss Li, General Manager Li, what do you mean I got involved with him? Let me tell you this. When I met Li Kai, you were still in elementary school."
Li Dong also knew what Hu Wanlin used to do, so it wasn't strange for her to say that.
However, Hu Wanlin's words made him feel that he had been taken advantage of. After thinking about it, he replied: "When I was in elementary school, you started a business. It means that you are old."
"…"
There was no sound from the other side of the phone for a long time. Just when Li Dong thought that she had hung up, Hu Wanlin said angrily: "Are you coming tonight or not? I was kind enough to give you a call. Are you deliberately provoking me? "
Li Dong did not hesitate and replied: "Yes!"
He couldn't avoid it. Li Kai's stubbornness showed that.
Even if there was no one, Li Kai would probably come to him in the end. It was better to meet him now.
Besides, Li Dong was not afraid of him. If they met, they would meet. How they talked and how they did it was up to him.
It was Li Kai's business that he had power. Li Dong was not alone.
If the other party really wanted to fight him to the death for Xiao Shan, Li Dong was not afraid of him. As long as Du Anmin was in Jiangbei, Li Kai could forget about using the government to deal with him.
As for the business world, Li Dong did not care. It was a good thing that Li Dong did not deal with him in the business world.
The only thing that Li Kai had the capital to fight with him was his relationship with the underworld. Sometimes, this was a double-edged sword.
Even if Li Dong was hurt, Li Kai would not have a good time.
Li Dong really did not believe that Li Kai would do anything to him in this aspect for Xiao Shan.
In this way, Li Dong had no reason to hesitate.
