The banquet hosted by the Liu family did not make Liu Long and his son famous.
Even Li Dong's acquisition of Pengfei Real Estate did not cause any commotion.
What really caused a commotion was the Jiangbei Mutual Aid Association, which Li Dong did not expect.
He didn't even know the name of the Jiangbei Mutual Aid Association, but in less than a day, the name of the association, which hadn't even been established yet, had spread throughout the political and business circles.
The next day, in the morning, Li Dong received at least more than ten calls.
The people who called were very special. There were local Jiangbei tycoons, Jiangbei and other economic experts and celebrities, and a few Jiangbei tycoons from other places.
These people called Li Dong with only one purpose: to ask about joining the association.
This result was out of Li Dong's expectation. The Jiangbei Mutual Aid Association did not even have a constitution. How was he going to add people?
Li Dong had no choice but to explain for a while. After a while, he hung up the phone with a gloomy face.
After hanging up, Li Dong asked, "What's going on? It's just an association. There are many associations like this in Jiangbei. There's even a semi-government Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce. I don't see these people paying attention. "
Seeing Li Dong was confused, Yuan Chengdao, who had just rushed back, asked, "General Manager Li, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean?"
Li Dong and Yuan Chengdao looked at each other. They did not understand why this guy was so surprised.
Yuan Chengdao was confused. He did not know what to say.
Li Dong was speechless. He asked, "Why are you back at this time? So early. Did you rush back last night? "
"Yes!"
Yuan Chengdao wanted to cry. He nodded and said, "I rushed back last night."
"Is there something urgent in Lu Province?"
"No."
"Then you …"
Yuan Chengdao did not know whether to laugh or cry. "I heard that you are going to set up Jiangbei Mutual Aid Association. I thought I had to rush back to plan for such a big event. I called you before, but no one picked up, so I came back. "
"You came back because of this?" Li Dong was confused. "How come you know about this?"
"General Manager Li!"
Yuan Chengdao was about to collapse. He looked at Dong Xuebing and said, "Are you kidding me? Or did you really not think about what kind of platform Jiangbei Mutual Aid Association will become?"
Li Dong was so frustrated that he couldn't help but say, "I'm not teasing you. This Jiangbei Mutual Aid Association I'm talking about doesn't even exist. The reason why I said this is to force some people to make up their minds to join. "
Li Dong then told him about Hsu Shengzhe's preparation for the alliance. Unexpectedly, Yuan Chengdao shook his head and said, "General Manager Li, you are wrong. Very wrong!"
Li Dong frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Yuan Chengdao could not sit still. He stood up and said, "General Manager Li, I thought you had thought it through. Now it seems that you have not thought it through at all!"
"What alliance to exchange shares? These are all unreliable things. Let's not talk about the chaos caused by the exchange of shares between so many companies. It will be a big problem to coordinate when the time comes. You are thinking too simply. How can things be so easy? "
"Also, don't you understand the collapse of the Delong Group? The country is not suitable for consortiums, and there is no need for consortiums. "
"It was a mistake to form this alliance. I did not expect you to force others to join. This is even more wrong!"
"General Manager Li, your vision is too limited. You should go out and take a look! Not only you, but also Hsu Shengzhe. I heard that he is very powerful in the past. Now it seems that Hsu Shengzhe is just ordinary. This kind of person may become a profitable businessman, but he will never become an outstanding entrepreneur! "
"…"
Yuan Chengdao not only looked down on Hsu Shengzhe and the others, but also Li Dong.
This guy probably let go this time. Even when he saw Li Dong's face turn black, he did not care and continued to scold him for more than ten minutes.
In the end, Yuan Chengdao sat down and said calmly, "General Manager Li, if this is what you think, then let me resign today."
Li Dong frowned and said unhappily, "Are you threatening me?"
"No. I just do not want to stay in a company with no future."
"Yuan Chengdao, you have to make it clear. Far away has no future?"
"Far away can still be saved now. But once the alliance is formed, there will be internal and external troubles. I cannot see a future!"
"Then tell me, what is wrong with the alliance?"
Yuan Chengdao shook his head. "It is not bad, but it is unrealistic! There are more than ten large enterprises, and you can attack whoever you want. Is it possible? These people are all old foxes in the business world. Will Hu Ming, Ji Yuanzhong, and the others really listen to you? "
"Once the interests of the alliance are damaged, it will be the end of the alliance. It will be good enough if these people do not drag you down. You still expect them to help you? "
"Also, every company has a different future. You casually change shares, and this is the biggest harm to Far away!"
"You always want to solve the problem once and for all. You always want to take a few shortcuts. This is not what you should do! General Manager Li, wake up. This is the business world, not a fairytale world! "
"You think everything is so perfect, and everything is supposed to be smooth sailing. But in the end, you will be the one suffering!"
"I do not feel sorry for you. I just feel sorry for Far away."
After saying this, Yuan Chengdao got up and bowed slightly to Li Dong. He said softly, "I am sorry for betraying your trust. I will finish what I need to do in Lu Province, and then you can send someone to take over. I will send the resignation report to you later. "
Li Dong did not say a word and just stared at him.
When he turned to leave, Li Dong was like a wounded beast. He said in a hoarse voice, "Yuan Chengdao! Don't give me this. I am asking you, what did I do wrong? Also, since you came back for Jiangbei Mutual Aid Association, you must be in favor of this. Why are you against it now? "
Yuan Chengdao looked back at him with a little disappointment on his face. He said softly, "I am in favor of Jiangbei Mutual Aid Association, not the alliance. You still don't understand what I mean."
"Phew …"
Li Dong let out a long breath and rubbed his cheeks hard.
At this moment, Li Dong really wanted to curse out loud.
His many days of scheming and planning had all been overruled by this fellow as if they were dog sh * t.
No, it was not rejected. It was thrown on the ground like a pair of old shoes and stepped on it again and again.
Li Dong really wanted to beat him up and ask him to leave immediately. But it did not mean that Li Dong would really do it.
Yuan Chengdao was a talent, a man who had seen the world and had worked in many multinational companies.
Although Li Dong was very egoistic at times, it did not mean that he was hopelessly egoistic.
After calming himself down, Li Dong said calmly, "You are saying that you are only supporting an association, which is similar to Jiangbei's Chamber of Commerce. But I know the current state of Jiangbei's Chamber of Commerce better than you. There is no such thing as helping each other internally. Everyone is just sweeping the snow in front of their own door. What's the point of establishing such a Chamber of Commerce? "
Yuan Chengdao was not in a hurry to leave. He shook his head helplessly and said, "General Manager Li, you are wrong! Jiangbei's Chamber of Commerce is not as weak as you think. The reason why it is in a state of disunity now is that there is no competent organizer. Humans have to live in circles. Whether it is a big circle or a small circle, circles will always exist. "
"The business world has its own circles. Jiangbei's Chamber of Commerce is one of them. But Jiangbei's Chamber of Commerce is just a local business group. Plus, the current leader did not receive the support of the people, so it became a place for retirement. "
"When I heard that you were going to establish Jiangbei's Mutual Aid Association in Quancheng, do you know how excited I was?"
"I thought you had thought it through. I thought you finally understood what is called reality."
"But when I heard that everything you are doing is for an alliance, do you know how disappointed I was? An alliance with constant internal strife, an alliance where everyone is fighting for power. Is there any meaning to such an alliance? "
"The business world is not as small as you think. Do you know why others are calling you to join?"
"If you still do not understand, then let me tell you. It is because everyone sees the potential of Jiangbei's Chamber of Commerce, not your so-called alliance's potential!"
"Have you heard of the Mount Tai Club? Have you heard of the Hua Xia Alumni Association? Have you heard of the Jiangnan Club and the Hua Xia Entrepreneur Club that was established last year? "
"If you do not know, then I advise you to find out more about it! What should an entrepreneur do? What is true mutual aid? What is the true path to success? "
"What can an alliance do? There is nothing we can do! "
"I know you are anxious. You want to speed up the development of your enterprise. You want to use the help of others to make Far Away grow faster and more stable. But that does not mean that only a consortium can achieve this goal."
"Other than your so-called alliance, the circle that you do not care about is the one that can truly become your right-hand man!"
"Why was Shi Dazhu able to make a comeback? Why did Duan Yongji help him? At the end of 2003, the Four Tong Group bought Brain Platinum for 1.2 billion. Was it really because Brain Platinum was worth that much money? "
"None of those!"
Yuan Chengdao said emotionally, "That is because they are all members of the Mount Tai Club! So when the giant faced a crisis, all the members of the Mount Tai Club tried their best to help him make a comeback! "
"Other than the Mount Tai Club, the Jiangnan Club and the Hua Xia Entrepreneur Club that were established last year are the same. No matter which one of them is in trouble, the others will do their best to help. Do they have too much money to spend? No! "
"Because they understand that helping others can help themselves. When one side is in trouble, help comes from all sides. This is the way to everlasting prosperity."
"Perhaps the alliance you mentioned will appear among them, but they will never use their own group's shares to collude with each other. They will only take out some money to set up a company or organization outside the group. These organizations are not for money, but to show an attitude of cooperation. "
Yuan Chengdao spoke for a long time and gave many examples.
Li Dong kept listening. After a long time, Li Dong said, "Then how do they ensure that everyone in this circle can be united?"
Yuan Chengdao sneered, as if he was a little disdainful and a little speechless. He said lightly, "There is no need for any guarantee. The reason why they do this is because they rely on foresight, magnanimity, and foresight."
"When they set up this circle, they constantly filter and filter. Only those who truly have foresight and magnanimity will be accepted by them."
"Soldiers are valued for their quality, not their quantity. What help can a motley crew bring to you and Far away?"
"Only a group of truly elite enterprises, enterprises with ambition, and leaders with foresight can do this. When you said you wanted to set up the Jiangbei Mutual Aid Association, I thought this was your idea. I thought you were going to use your influence to build a circle that belongs to you, a circle that belongs to Far away. "
"But now I know that I was wrong. You are still entangled in the gains and losses of a city and are still thinking about these trivial matters."
"But you don't know that when you are having a headache because of the internal strife, others have already left you far behind."
"Never place your hopes on others. Even if you have a circle that belongs to you, it is just a subsidiary product. The circle can be relied on, but it cannot be used as a life-saving straw. If you can't even do this, then I think you should continue to be a dictator. That might be better. "
"…"
This time, Yuan Chengdao really left. Li Dong did not ask him to stay.
He sat alone in his office and looked at the ceiling. No one knew what he was thinking. He thought about it for a long time.
The meaning behind Yuan Chengdao's words was very clear. It was okay to have a circle and an alliance of interests. But it was best to have a friendship that was as indifferent as water.
Of course, it was not to say that the relationship was indifferent. It was to be clear about interests.
Don't entangle everyone's interests together. When others encounter difficulties, everyone can help together. But don't get too involved in the operation and development of other enterprises.
Similarly, he did not want other people's hands to be involved in Far away.
Especially people like Hsu Shengzhe. In Yuan Chengdao's eyes, this group of people only knew how to fight for power. Maybe Yuan Chengdao felt that without them, Far Away would develop better and faster.
He rushed back in a hurry just to build a network for Li Dong.
Invite some like-minded, forward-looking and capable friends to help each other and help each other grow together.
It was not the kind of financial group that Li Dong needed. In Yuan Chengdao's eyes, this was very stupid.
Not to mention that it would waste a lot of energy, the effect might not be satisfactory.
In addition, the hearts of the internal people were not united. If it was not done well, it might backfire in the end. This possibility was not impossible. Once the cross exchange of shares, if Far Away encountered a crisis, this possibility was very high.
In fact, there was one thing that Yuan Chengdao did not say. He felt that the current development speed of Far Away was fast enough.
What Li Dong lacked was not money, nor did he need to continue to speed up. He just needed to be steady and steady.
A like-minded circle was enough for Li Dong. What was the point of expanding blindly?
The role of the circle was to protect and escort Li Dong. It was not the financial support that Li Dong needed. Li Dong did not understand what he needed at all.
