Wu Changguo was angry and Li Dong was speechless.
He did not do it on purpose. He did not expect things to turn out this way.
Who could he blame?
The media?
The police?
Blame himself?
No one could be blamed. He should not have been in the limelight. He could only blame himself for not expecting the media to be present.
Now that the martyr had left quietly, the police officers fighting on the frontlines had lost a chance to show their faces. This might have been the only chance for them to show their faces in front of the public.
This kind of glory was not something that could be had at any time.
Li Dong rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "Senior, why don't we do this? I'll compensate these heroes, okay?"
"You compensate? How are you going to compensate them? "
"I will donate 200 … No, 5 million. I will donate 5 million to reward these heroes who fought on the frontlines! Especially that martyr and the disabled hero. I will express my respect on behalf of Far away. Although material compensation is a little vulgar, now that they are gone, the remaining people have to continue living. What do you think? "
Wu Changguo frowned slightly. "There is no such precedent in Jiangbei to reward the police officers privately."
"There is no such precedent in Jiangbei, but there are other places. I know. Anyway, I am the one paying. What's there to be afraid of? We are doing it openly. There is no power or money transaction, unless you are greedy … "
"Li Dong!"
Wu Changguo shouted. After some thought, he said, "5 million is too much. Let's do 1 million. The impact will be smaller this way."
"Just 5 million. I have money. Other than those two, there are many other heroes. I can't reward them just because they are in trouble. Everyone will have a share. This way, no one will blame me. "
"This …"
Wu Changguo was a little hesitant. But when he thought of the tough lives of the frontline police officers, there were not many opportunities to fleece a tycoon like Li Dong.
Gritting his teeth, Wu Changguo finally said, "Alright, 5 million it is. But you have to keep it low-key. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Yes, I understand."
…
After hanging up, Li Dong felt helpless.
What was this? He had made a trip and spent 5 million. It was a huge loss!
Fortunately, he managed to deal with Wu Changguo, and the old senior was very satisfied in the end. It was worth it.
Not only that, but Li Dong had also done the Jiangbei police a favor.
Five million wasn't a small number.
If all the rewards were given out, each of the police officers would get at least a few thousand yuan.
In this day and age, wouldn't the other party be the least bit considerate if he took a few thousand yuan from him for free?
Thinking of this, Li Dong chuckled again. Usually, he couldn't even give out money so openly. How great was it now? Not only did he give out money openly, but he also gained a lot of favors.
Although five million was a lot, the gains were not small either. Who could tell the difference between gains and losses?
Just as Li Dong was feeling proud of himself, Shen Qian pushed the door open and entered.
Seeing Li Dong laughing happily, Shen Qian snapped, "You're still laughing? How old are you? Can't you be more reliable? You even thought of giving a clock to Li Kai. Luckily, you did not say anything. If you implicated Secretary Wu, I'll see what you can do! "
"Forget it. How can I not know about this? I didn't know there were reporters at that time. When I realized there were reporters, I immediately distanced myself from them. Who can say anything about it? "
"Go ahead and do it!"
Shen Qian rolled her eyes at him and continued, "Don't ask for trouble next time. It's dangerous. If Li Kai had resisted and a conflict broke out, you wouldn't have gotten anything out of it. Also, Li Kai hates you to death now. You … "
Shen Qian pointed at him, not knowing what to say.
After a while, Shen Qian said, "Forget it. I can't be bothered to talk to you. Also, let's find a chance to go karaoke next time. I didn't realize that your singing is quite good. "
Li Dong's face darkened. "I don't know how to sing. I'm tone deaf."
"You still don't know how to sing? Iron door, iron window … "
Shen Qian pinched her throat and mimicked the song. After singing a line, she laughed so hard that she could not stand up straight.
Li Dong's face turned red. "Go, go, go. Don't bother me. If you bring this up again, I'll fall out with you!"
"Hahaha, okay, okay. I won't talk about it. Let's go karaoke next time. Remember that."
"Let's go!"
"…"
Under Li Dong's push, Shen Qian left with a smile. Her laughter could be heard through the door.
Once she left, Li Dong could not help but laugh.
Singing "Tears Behind Prison Bars" was not premeditated. At that time, Li Dongshun just sang one line of the song. He did not expect it to cause such a big reaction.
The Internet was in an uproar. Everyone was clamoring for Li Dong to sing another song.
Li Dong did not have the mood to cooperate with these people. He was regretting it now. It was embarrassing. His singing was terrible.
Just when Li Dong was regretting, his phone rang again.
It was a call from Sun Tao.
Li Dong thought Dong Xuebing was teasing him because of the news. He picked up the phone and complained. "Don't laugh. If you have something to say, say it. If not, hang up."
Sun Tao was stunned for a moment. "What's so funny? I don't care about what you did in the news."
The corner of Li Dong's mouth twitched, and he snapped, "Then let's talk."
"The encirclement has begun!"
Sun Tao's words jolted Li Dong back to reality. He hurriedly said, "Did I predict it?"
"Yes. They really attacked us!"
Sun Tao's voice was heavy. "Huarun Resources, Bailian, RT-Mart, and Agribusiness are surrounding us! Era is in danger. General Manager Li, things are not looking good. "
"Four!"
Li Dong's expression turned serious as he asked, "How can there be four? Why are Agribusiness and RT-Mart joining in? We do not have any direct conflict of interest with them, especially Agribusiness. They are mainly in Shanghai, and we do not have any business there. Why are they joining in?! "
"Just to prevent future trouble. They will eliminate us first, and then they will divide the East China market. Why not? Who asked us to be weak? Being weak is an excuse for others to bully us. "
Speaking of this, Sun Tao was a little depressed.
Li Dong took a deep breath. "Don't panic. They will not be able to crush us anytime soon. Oh, how is the Sunan situation? "
Sunan is the base camp of Era. Even if other places fall, it is not a big problem as long as Sunan is protected.
But Sunan is the place Li Dong is most worried about.
There is a fierce tiger there. Su Guo is more terrifying than the other companies.
Su Nan and Su Guo occupied half of the retail market. If they spent a lot of money to encircle and suppress him, then the era would be really dangerous.
Speaking of Sunan, Sun Tao's voice was strange. "Sunan is fine."
"Sunan is fine?"
"Yes, Su Nan is quiet, nothing happened at all. Su Guo continues to do business with them. Ma Jialiang does not seem to want to attack us. "
"Why? Didn't you say Huarun Resources … "
Li Dong paused and touched his chin. "You said Huarun Resources made a move, but Su Guo did not?"
"Yes. Otherwise, I would not be in the mood to call you. I would have gone back to ask for help."
"Su Guo did not make a move, Su Guo did not make a move …"
Li Dong pondered for a while and suddenly said with a smile, "Could it be that Old Ma has a conflict with Huarun Resources again?"
Huarun Resources and Ma Jialiang have been at odds for a long time. There were rumors that Huarun Resources wanted to replace Ma Jialiang.
However, Old Ma's prestige in Su Guo was too high. In addition, Su Guo has brought huge benefits to Huarun Resources in recent years. In the end, this proposal was not made.
Now Huarun Resources made a move, but Su Guo did not make a move. Li Dong could only think of this.
Otherwise, if Su Guo was willing to fight with him at this time, the possibility of killing Era was still very high.
Sun Tao thought for a while and replied, "This is still possible, but I am not sure whether it is true or not."
"The possibility is very high. Let's wait and see. If Su Guo does not make a move, what are we afraid of?"
Li Dong's expression softened, and he chuckled.
Without Su Guo's encirclement, Era really did not have to worry.
They did not have many stores in other cities. If other supermarkets wanted to encircle them, they would have to pay a higher price than Li Dong.
I am afraid that before Li Dong admitted defeat, those people would not be able to hold on.
Don't forget, Era was not a private enterprise. Fighting with Li Dong also depended on whether the board of directors could agree or not.
Seeing Li Dong say so, Sun Tao did not say more.
In fact, it was useless to say more. One word – no money!
Far away, Era had no money to support. Even if he came back to ask for help, the effect would not be great.
Now Sun Tao could only hope that Su Guo would not make a move. Otherwise, even if Era did not collapse, this time it would be a big loss.
…
The news about Li Dong was still fermenting on the Internet, but Li Dong was too lazy to care about it now.
Zhou Haidong, who was patrolling the store, finally came back!
Once Zhou Haidong came back, Li Dong immediately summoned him.
When Zhou Haidong sat down, Li Dong asked, "How's the situation?"
Zhou Haidong frowned slightly. "Because Pingchuan is right under our nose, we did not notice any big problems. But other than Pingchuan, there are problems that cannot be underestimated. "
"Tell me about it."
"Lax management, corruption, chaotic management, using relatives, eating without pay … there are all these, and it's not just one or two cases. In half a month of patrolling, we found at least ten cases. And this is only half of the stores. Deputy Director Chen is now leading a team to continue patrolling. When the inspection is over, I'm afraid the punishment will be doubled. "
"It's that serious!"
Li Dong furrowed his brows and finally said, "Be strict! Deal with them one by one. We cannot let them go! "
Zhou Haidong nodded. That was for sure.
Li Dong had always been strict with these people. Before reporting, Zhou Haidong had already guessed that this would be the result.
Li Dong continued, "What about the other subsidiaries?"
"The other subsidiaries …"
Zhou Haidong hesitated for a moment, as if there was something difficult to say. He did not say anything for a moment.
Li Dong frowned. Zhou Haidong had always told him everything he knew. This hesitation must have involved someone related to Li Dong.
Shen Qian? Qin Hai? Or someone else?
