As time was tight in the afternoon, Li Dong did not go to look at the houses.
At the car market, Li Dong let Qin Yuhan pick her own car. In the end, Qin Yuhan picked two Volkswagens.
A Volkswagen Beetle and a Polaroid.
Li Dong frowned and said, "You are driving this thing for business? I said you don't have to save money for me. You didn't say it yourself. You asked Auntie Yang to drive a Polaroid. Are you slapping my face? "
Qin Yuhan quickly said, "Isn't a car just a means of transportation? It's useless to drive it so well. Besides, cars are consumer goods. They will be obsolete quickly. "
"You can't drive this. If word gets out, people will laugh at you. I am not in Beijing, and those Tom, Dick, and Harry still dare to target you. Drive a better car. At least let those people know their place. Not everyone can act cool! "
Li Dong did not care about Qin Yuhan's objection and continued to look at the cars.
The car market in Beijing had a lot more types of cars than in Pingchuan. Many cars that were not seen in Pingchuan could be bought here.
After looking around, Li Dong finally picked a Porsche and a BMW.
After swiping his card, he saw Qin Yuhan looking at him. Li Dong waved his hand and said, "That's it. Between the BMW and Porsche, you can drive whichever suits you. If you don't like any of them, you can buy a few more. I have money!"
Qin Yuhan saw him joking around and could not help but laugh.
At this time, the people looking at the cars could not help but look at them with contempt. Li Dong had enough of these people. He said loudly, "I have money! If you are not happy, you can buy it too! "
The fat man next to him had been looking at him as if he was a country bumpkin ever since he entered the door. He even peeked at Qin Yuhan lecherously from time to time. Li Dong found himself almost unable to hold back his anger.
What's wrong?
Is Beijing so awesome?
I'm here to buy a car, and I'm spending my own money, not someone else's. Who are you all putting on airs for?
This was the third time in his life that he had come to the capital, but this third time made Li Dong furious at this place.
Imperial Capital!
Under the feet of the Emperor, within Sijiu City, the royal family and nobles …
These people all thought that Li Dong was a rich man from the countryside. These people all thought that Jiangbei was a remote and desolate place.
But what right did these people have to despise him?
I, Li Dong, don't steal or rob. Even if I earn money, I don't flaunt it in Beijing. Do I have to ask for other people's opinions when I buy a car?
Shen Qian wanted him to be low-key, Qin Yuhan also wanted him to be low-key, and Zhang Lanyu also thought that it was better to be low-key …
But why was he so ostentatious?
What was he hindering now?
Based on what?
Some people put on airs outside, but their families were barely able to feed themselves. Instead of working hard to earn money, they looked down on Li Dong? What right did they have to look down on him?
Li Dong didn't dare to say that he had contributed much to society, but he had provided for tens of thousands of people!
The amount of taxes he paid every year was something that these people would never be able to achieve in their lifetime.
He had created wealth for society. To put it bluntly, the country's prosperity depended on these people.
Without them, could the capital develop so well with these people in Sijiu City?
Well, in the end, Li Dong had become the sinner.
Don't spend money, and keep a low profile. It was your honor to be slapped in the face by others. Others didn't have the right to be slapped in the face by those nobles.
If you were a commoner, they wouldn't even look at you. So Li Dong had to be grateful!
But was Li Dong that kind of person?
Grateful, he was grateful to his eight generations of ancestors!
Glaring fiercely at the darn fatty, Li Dong was prepared to say a few more words, but Qin Yuhan hurriedly pulled him out.
As soon as they went out, Qin Yuhan asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"
Li Dong suppressed his anger and took a deep breath. "Nothing, I'm not in a good mood. That darn fatty keeps staring at you. I want to beat him up."
Qin Yuhan couldn't help but laugh when she heard that. "What's wrong with him looking at you? You're jealous. Don't be unhappy. Look, others are staring at us."
"So what if they stare? I don't know them. Who cares if they look or not."
Li Dong said. He looked at the time and said, "I have to go back. Let's look at the house tomorrow. Do you have class tomorrow?"
"The house …"
"Don't refuse. You can see that I'm very angry now. I have to continue shopping to extinguish it."
Qin Yuhan couldn't help but laugh. She could only nod and said, "I don't have class tomorrow afternoon."
"Then let's go look at the house in the afternoon."
Li Dong went straight to the car. Qin Yuhan's two cars couldn't be driven away today. They would be sent over in two days.
After sending Qin Yuhan back to school, Li Dong rushed back to the hotel.
…
Before entering the hotel, Li Dong paused for a moment.
He was not in a good mood today and liked to lose his temper. He had to restrain himself later.
Wei Hengzhi had no enmity with him. It was disrespectful to meet a guest with an angry face. Li Dong understood this basic etiquette.
After calming himself down, Li Dong whispered, "Imperial Capital, sooner or later, I, Li Dong, will come here to dispel your arrogance!"
Li Dong encouraged himself and set a small goal for himself. Only then did he feel much more at ease.
At this time, someone suddenly called out from behind, "General Manager Li?"
Li Dong turned his head and saw Wei Hengzhi walking over in a casual outfit. Compared to yesterday, Wei Hengzhi was less solemn today and more carefree.
Li Dong glanced at him and chuckled, "Director Wei, I thought you wouldn't be here so early."
Wei Hengzhi smiled, "I'm off today and happened to be free. I live nearby, so I came for a stroll."
Wei Hengzhi said, "General Manager Li, don't call me Director Wei. It sounds awkward. Just call me Hengzhi or Old Wei."
"Hahaha, then I won't stand on ceremony. Old Wei, calling me Old Wei is more cordial. You can just call me Li Dong."
Li Dong took the opportunity to make friends. At this time, Zhang Lanyu also came out and smiled when she saw Wei Hengzhi. "Director Wei is quite early today. I was just hesitating whether to call you or not."
"Miss Zhang is too polite. Let's go in."
Wei Hengzhi chuckled and the group entered the hotel together.
When they boarded the elevator, Wei Hengzhi saw that they were the only ones inside. He asked softly, "Were you alright last night?"
Li Dong shook his head and smiled. "I was fine."
"That's good." Wei Hengzhi then explained, "I left early yesterday. Please don't take offense, Li Dong. I used to be friends with those fellows, but our relationship became a bit strained after a bit of a ruckus. I would only have caused more trouble for you if I stayed. "
"It's fine. It's just a small matter. I can't be bothered to argue with a few brats. "
Although Li Dong said that it was fine, Wei Hengzhi knew that the young boy was probably upset when he said those words.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Hengzhi asked softly, "Do you want me to help you make up?"
"No need."
Li Dong shook his head with a smile. "I won't be staying in the capital for long, so there's no need to make up. However, I still have to thank you for your trouble."
"It's fine."
Wei Hengzhi didn't say anything else after Li Dong declined. He and Li Dong weren't that close yet, so a few polite words were enough.
This time, they didn't choose a private room for dinner but the main hall of the hotel's restaurant.
Li Dong and his group were considered early, so there weren't many people, only a few tables occupied.
Wei Hengzhi didn't mind. He sat down with Li Dong and Zhang Lanyu, then went straight to the point. "Last night, you asked me if I had a solution. Today, before we eat, I have to make it clear. I can't eat your meals for free."
Li Dong smiled. "Still bickering with me? Just treat it as making a friend and treating a friend to a meal, okay? "
Wei Hengzhi laughed for a while, then said after a while, "So far, it's not like there's no way to issue bonds."
Li Dong said with a straight face, "I'm all ears."
"Not long ago, the central government issued a document. I wonder if you've read it, Li Dong?"
"What document?"
"The central government's No. 10 document clearly states the development strategy to achieve the rise of Central China. It requires the establishment of large circulation enterprise groups in Central China, focusing on the development of the modern service industry."
Wei Hengzhi spoke for a while, then finally said, "So far, whether the bond issue can pass or not depends on this document."
Li Dong frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"
"Focus!" Wei Hengzhi said with a straight face, "Although I haven't seen your application plan for So far, I can roughly guess that you must be applying for the group's future development plan. In your view, Faraway Group has more assets, and with the group's name, it will certainly have a higher chance of passing. However, this is actually a mistake. I suggest you redo the plan and focus on Faraway Supermarket. The focus of the plan is your supermarket strategy in East China. With this as the entry point, many things will be overlooked. "
In the end, Wei Hengzhi said meaningfully, "Li Dong, in the eyes of many people, Faraway Supermarket is more competitive than Faraway Group."
Li Dong's eyelids twitched, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "Thank you. A word is worth a thousand gold. Old Wei, your words today have enlightened me."
At this time, Li Dong also realized that if he used Faraway Group as the main body, others might look at So Far's real estate plan.
Although the country valued real estate, real estate was actually the most unreliable thing, and some senior officials were still opposed to real estate boosting the economy.
At this time, Li Dong used Faraway Group to apply for the bond issue, and there were still some small problems with the accounts. Others might casually reject it.
But developing Faraway Supermarket, a large retail group, and also in line with the requirements of the central government's document, a large circulation enterprise group in Central China. Others considered it comprehensively, and the possibility of passing was indeed much higher than before.
In Li Dong's view, the total assets of Faraway Group were naturally better than Faraway Supermarket.
But in the eyes of others, the difference of a few billion was actually nothing. They were more concerned about whether it was in line with the spirit of the document and the relevant regulations.
Seeing that Li Dong understood what he meant, Wei Hengzhi smiled again and said, "Don't be too happy yet. I can only say that this is a little more likely, but I can't give you a 100% guarantee."
"Enough, it's enough!"
Li Dong quickly said, "Just because of these words, I, Li Dong, will definitely be friends with you!"
Wei Hengzhi suddenly laughed and raised his teacup. "Okay, then I will also be friends with you. Let's drink tea instead of wine."
"Cheers!"
Li Dong raised his teacup and drank it in one gulp. The melancholy in his heart finally dissipated a lot.
