Tianhu Hotel.
The opening ceremony was still going on. As the investor, Li Dong had just finished speaking and stepped off the stage when there was a sudden commotion.
Many reporters picked up the phone and looked at Li Dong.
Li Dong frowned slightly. Did something happen?
He did not know that Yao Hong had suddenly shouted out his name before he fainted. Otherwise, Li Dong would have been infuriated. How could he have imagined that he would be the one to blame for this?
Just as he was wondering, Wang Pengfei, who was placed at the front, also picked up the phone.
After a while, Wang Pengfei waited for Li Dong to come over and sit down. He quickly said, "General Manager Li, I still have something to do here. I'm really sorry, I have to rush back to deal with it."
Li Dong frowned and said, "General Manager Wang, the ceremony is not over yet. Isn't it too disrespectful for you to leave now?"
Wang Pengfei smiled bitterly and said, "General Manager Li, I really have something to do. Otherwise, I wouldn't be leaving."
"Alright, since General Manager Wang has something to do, I won't stop you. But wait a little longer. I'll send you off after the incense is offered. If you want to leave before the incense is offered, it would be a slap in my face. "
Wang Pengfei looked at him deeply and nodded after a while. "Alright, I'll wait for the incense to be offered."
After the incense was offered, the ceremony was over.
At that time, even if he did not leave, the others would have to leave. Would Li Dong leave him here alone?
Wang Pengfei took a deep breath and thought of what the other party said on the phone. Yao Hong shouted "Li Dong". Could it be that this guy really did it?
If that was the case, then Wang Pengfei had to re-evaluate Li Dong's strength.
This guy had quietly opened up so many connections and dealt a heavy blow to Yao Hong. This was not something an ordinary person could do.
Also, if it was really Li Dong who did it, what was his purpose?
In terms of hatred, it should be Yao Hong who hated him. After all, this guy had a lot of disputes with Yao Hong because of the price reduction, but in the end, Li Dong won most of the time.
Now that the two sides were in a rare period of peace, Li Dong suddenly stirred up trouble. It couldn't be for revenge, right?
Just as Wang Pengfei was deep in thought, it was time for the Pingchuan Municipal Committee's leader to finish his speech.
It was not a superstition to burn incense before the movie started, but a tacit rule.
Therefore, even though the leaders of the Pingchuan Municipal Committee were present, they still lit the incense. Although the leaders of the Municipal Committee did not participate, they did not avoid it and just watched from the side.
By the time he finished lighting the incense, the opening ceremony was almost over.
At this moment, the surrounding reporters swarmed forward.
Before anyone could react, a reporter said loudly, "General Manager Li, we just received news that Men Shen has fallen into a crisis of unpaid wages and bankruptcy. The bank is pursuing the loan. Men Shen's Director Yao suddenly fainted in front of the Men Shen Building. Before he fainted, he shouted your name. Can you tell us what the deeper meaning behind this is?"
As soon as the reporters said that, the other guests on the scene were stunned.
Many people were not in the real estate business, so even though such a big thing had happened, most of them did not receive the news.
Now that they suddenly heard that Men Shen had fallen into bankruptcy, many people were filled with shock.
Men Shen was going to go bankrupt?
This was too sudden. Ever since Yao Hong and the rest set up their small group, Men Shen had been seen as the number two enterprise in the real estate industry in Jiangbei.
Especially when Longhua had shifted its strategic target, Men Shen had become the leader of the real estate industry in Pingchuan.
A few days ago, Yao Hong and the rest were still riding the crest of success and had invited many guests to celebrate their success.
It had only been a few days, and Men Shen was going to go bankrupt?
Many of the company's directors quickly took out their phones to make calls, asking what had happened and if it would affect them.
…
At this moment, Li Dong was also stunned.
Before the reporters asked him, he really did not know what had happened.
Because everything was arranged by Hsu Shengzhe and the rest, Li Dong did not get involved. Therefore, he did not know much about the details.
But from his point of view, he should not have been involved in this matter.
On one hand, he really did not have the ability to do this. On the other hand, he seemed to be very busy now. Yao Hong should not have asked him about it.
Even if Yao Hong had doubts, he would not have mentioned it in front of others.
But what did the reporters say?
Yao Hong had fainted, and before he fainted, he had called out his name. Did this mean that they had found the right person by chance? Or did Yao Hong have a deep grudge against him?
Although that was what he was thinking, Li Dong's brain was working very fast.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Li Dong thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry, this news is too sudden. I was not prepared at all. I was a little shocked when I heard this news. My reporter friend, are you telling the truth? "
"It's true. If General Manager Li doesn't believe me, you can call and ask."
"There's no need to ask. I don't think anyone will spread rumors about such a big matter."
Speaking of this, Li Dong suddenly sighed. "I really did not expect that Men Shen would suddenly go bankrupt. Everyone, I am too surprised. Really, I had just talked to President Yao a few days ago. At that time, President Yao was still smiling, and there was no sign of him going bankrupt. But now … Sigh, my mind is in a mess, and I don't know what to say. Now, I can only say that before the matter is clear, try not to believe what you hear. When the matter is clear and confirmed to be true, report it according to your discretion. "
Seeing Li Dong sigh, a reporter asked again, "Director Li, before Director Yao fainted, he shouted your name. What's the meaning of that?"
"Shout my name?"
"Yes, my colleague was there at the time. He heard that President Yao was very angry before he fainted. When he shouted your name, he roared angrily before he fainted."
Li Dong said with a bitter smile, "About this, I really don't know what to say. I'm not a god, so how would I know what President Yao was thinking? But I suspect that before he fainted, President Yao wanted to discuss how to deal with the matter. After all, President Yao and I have been friends for many years. Forget it, it's useless for me to explain now. I'll know when I go to the hospital to visit President Yao. "
Although Li Dong said it as though it was the truth, there were still people who didn't believe him. "General Manager Li, you and President Yao are friends? Why are there rumors in the industry that you and President Yao are arch-enemies? Many people suspect that Men Shen's bankruptcy might be due to the pressure Far away exerted. Can you explain? "
Li Dong frowned. "Explain? Explain what? You said it was just a rumor. Can rumors be trusted? President Yao and I might have some differences in business philosophy, but in fact, we are indeed friends who can't get along without a fight.
Even if we aren't friends, it's also nonsense for you to suspect that this matter has something to do with me!
First, it's not that I, Li Dong, am belittling myself, but Men Shen is also a large corporation with assets in the billions. Far away doesn't have the ability to bring down a corporation with assets in the billions.
Second, where does the pressure come from?
Far away doesn't have the ability to exert pressure on Men Shen, and what reason does it have to exert pressure on Men Shen?
Third, Far away is mainly in the retail industry. Recently, Far away is developing the market in Jiangzhe, Lu, and Gan provinces. In Gan Province, it was me and President Yao who worked together to enter it.
At this time, we are business partners. Similarly, I'm very busy. I'm so busy that I don't have time to meddle in these things.
Even for this movie's opening ceremony, I can only attend it when I'm free. Do you think I have the time to manage Men Shen Real Estate? "
As soon as Li Dong gave his three reasons, many people were stunned.
Then, someone said in surprise, "General Manager Li, Faraway Supermarket is starting to expand?"
They really didn't know about this before. After all, not many people paid attention to something that happened outside of Jiangbei.
If it weren't for Li Dong mentioning it now, people would probably only pay attention to it when it was officially settled.
Li Dong couldn't wait for everyone to change the topic. When he heard that, he quickly said, "That's right. Far away has been proposing the East China strategy for a long time. Since the acquisition of Sunan, Far Away has been laying out plans. Now, Far Away has set sail again. This time, Far Away has invested more than 3 billion in the market expansion of the three provinces! This is only the first batch of investments. According to Far Away's plan, in the next three years, Far Away will continue to increase their capital. When Far Away completes the strategic layout of the East China region, the total investment should exceed 10 billion! "
"10 billion!"
Quite a few people cried out in surprise. This was a big move, truly a big move!
It would have been fine if there wasn't any news today, but when there was, there were a few big pieces of news.
Men Shen was facing bankruptcy, Jiangbei tycoon Yao Hong was unconscious, and Li Dong was involved in the Men Shen incident. Far Away had invested 10 billion …
Any piece of news like this could be reported on the front page of a newspaper on normal days.
But today, there were a few pieces of news. The reporters were all excited.
As for the original movie, everyone thought it was big news at first. After all, this movie's opening ceremony was quite grand.
But now, what was the opening ceremony?!
Even if it was grand, it was just a few celebrities strolling around. It was nothing compared to the bankruptcy filing and Far Away's expansion.
This was a big event that involved billions or even tens of billions of funds. To put it more seriously, it might affect the entire domestic retail industry in the next few years. This kind of change that affected the entire industry was the real news!
And celebrities walking the red carpet could only attract the attention of some ordinary people. Those with real social status would not care about such trivial matters.
The reporters became even more excited and hurriedly asked all at once.
Just as everyone was asking questions, many people quietly left.
This included people like Hsu Shengzhe, Hu Ming, and Wang Pengfei. If he didn't leave, his phone would explode.
Such a big event had happened. The leader of the small group, Yao Hong, was unconscious. Lu Zhanpeng and Greenland's CEO couldn't even take care of themselves. Although the other small real estate companies weren't being chased by the bank, they were still panicking.
Adding on the fact that the person above them had just fallen two days ago, many people were afraid that they would be implicated in this matter.
At this time, the others couldn't appear, so the first person these small real estate companies thought of was naturally Wang Pengfei.
Wang Pengfei was probably the only person who wasn't implicated in this matter. Adding on the fact that Wang Pengfei was smart and powerful, everyone wanted Wang Pengfei to help them analyze the situation and think of a solution.
