Not to mention Shen Qian, even Xu Jianghua couldn't understand his son.
When Xu Shengzhe finished speaking, Xu Jianghua was completely confused. He asked, "You agreed?"
Hsu Shengzhe nodded. "Yes."
"Are you sure you are awake?" Xu Jianghua couldn't help but ask.
Hsu Shengzhe was speechless. "Dad, do I look like a fool to you?"
Xu Jianghua sighed. "Not in the past, but now."
"500 million to buy bonds from Far away. What are you thinking? Even if Longhua has money, you can't waste it like this. What benefits did Li Dong give you? After he acquired Greenland, Pengfei, and Beichuan, Dong Yu Real Estate is not weaker than us. At this time, he is in a financial crisis. We should be considerate of your friendship if we don't hit him when he is down. You still want to buy their bonds and help him open up the bond market. I don't believe you are not a fool. "
Hsu Shengzhe curled his lips. "Dad, do you think I will invest 500 million just for this?"
"Then why?" Xu Jianghua asked.
Hsu Shengzhe raised his brows. "He made a bet with me."
Xu Jianghua was surprised. "What bet?"
Hsu Shengzhe narrowed his eyes. "He wants to bet with me. Li Dong said that Dong Yu Real Estate will surpass Longhua Real Estate within three years and become the leader of Jiangbei's real estate industry! I don't believe it. So, I will bet 500 million with him! If I lose, he will pay me back with interest three years later. I don't have anything to lose. If I win, Li Dong promised to let Longhua have the controlling stake in Dong Yu Real Estate! "
Xu Jianghua looked at him for a while and coughed. "Shengzhe, I am not trying to discourage you. Are you sure you want to bet with him? Although I don't like Li Dong, I have to say that his courage and opportunities are top-notch. In less than a year, Dong Yu Real Estate has grown from nothing to strength, and now, its scale has reached half of ours. In three years, some things … "
Xu Jianghua still wanted to say something, but Hsu Shengzhe interrupted him calmly. "Dad, if I don't even have the confidence, then I might as well give up on taking over as the chairman of Longhua!
An old company that had been established for almost 20 years, a leading company that had dominated the real estate industry in Jiangbei for over 10 years, and now its founder was saying that his company could not be compared to a real estate company that had only been established for a year!
I don't believe in this, and I don't think that Longhua is inferior to others!
Moreover, even if I really lose, I'll admit it!
It's just a loan of 500 million for him to develop. If he can really surpass Longhua, then I'll admire him and owe him a favor.
To Longhua, 500 million was just another piece of land. How big of an impact could it have?
I'd like to see if Li Dong can really take off with this additional 500 million yuan.
If he can't soar, then we'll take over Dong Yu Real Estate, and the entire real estate industry in Jiangbei will belong to us, Longhua. "
Xu Jianghua didn't say anything more and only advised, "Words alone are no proof. Since you've decided, I'll support you. But friends are friends, and some things should be written on paper. That fellow doesn't play his cards according to common sense, so he might regret it. "
"Really?" Hsu Shengzhe raised his brows.
Xu Jianghua shook his head and warned, "Don't trust others' promises easily, and don't trust others' character too much. I won't comment on Li Dong's character, but don't forget that he owed us a sum of money. How long has it been? "
Hsu Shengzhe immediately sobered up after hearing Xu Jianghua's words. "Yes, we need to sign an agreement! That bastard claimed that he's a trustworthy person, but he tricked me several times. Dad, you're right. I'll get him to sign the agreement later. "
When Hsu Shengzhe left in a hurry, Xu Jianghua couldn't help laughing.
After pondering for a while, Xu Jianghua shook his head and decided to let them be.
Actually, Xu Jianghua didn't care about the agreement at this moment. Perhaps, Li Dong's existence could help his son grow.
His youngest son was a prideful person, and others might not know about it, but how could he not know?
If a person was too prideful, he would suffer a loss sooner or later.
In the past, Xu Jianghua didn't want to hand over Longhua to Hsu Shengzhe because he was worried about this.
Now that his business had reached this stage, he actually didn't want to gamble anymore. Gambling on the future was a matter for young people, and he was also like this when he was young.
But when one was in his seventies, no matter how hard he tried, it would be worn down by time. What Xu Jianghua wanted was stability.
But now that the matter was settled, Xu Jianghua wanted to borrow Li Dong's hand to polish Hsu Shengzhe.
No matter how much hatred he had with Li Dong, Xu Jianghua had to admit that Li Dong was a character.
In just a few years, Li Dong had risen rapidly. Whether it was because of external factors or his luck, it was enough to show that Li Dong shouldn't be underestimated.
Since his son wanted to fight with Li Dong, no matter who won or lost, he would still benefit from it. Xu Jianghua couldn't be bothered with this matter anymore.
… …
Jiangbei Grand Theatre.
Shen Qian heard the reason and couldn't help but frown. "You're doing it again! Did you feel that you got the better end of the bet with Suning? Now you're addicted to it! Longhua and Dong Yu Real Estate might not seem to have a big difference, but they are worlds apart. Do you understand? Longhua Real Estate does not look at valuation and market value. It looks at influence in all aspects. You want to surpass them in 3 years? Where did you get the confidence from? If you are talking about supermarkets, I will not say anything. You are talking about Dong Yu. I am not trying to attack you, but you can wait for Longhua to become the controlling shareholder in 3 years. "
Shen Qian was not saying this to attack Li Dong. She was telling him a fact.
Longhua Group's market value was not high. It was about 10 billion, about the same as Faraway Group.
But sometimes, the influence was not based on these numbers.
Also, Li Dong had forgotten one thing. You don't want to be listed, but it doesn't mean others don't want to be listed.
Once Longhua got listed, it would be easy for the company's market value to double or even more.
Shen Qian did not think that Li Dong could surpass Longhua in 3 years. Even if she trusted Li Dong 100%, she still had to question his decision.
Li Dong replied. "So be it. It's not like we don't need to pay for it. If we still can't surpass Longhua in 3 years, then there is no future in the real estate industry. Let them have it, and I will use the money to do other things. I don't want to waste my time on this. "
This was also Li Dong's true thoughts. If he could not surpass a provincial real estate company in 3 years, then what was the point of doing this?
His goal was the galaxy … … Cough … … His goal was to become a national giant.
It was good to give himself some pressure to prevent himself from being complacent.
Now, Dong Yu Real Estate was somewhat complacent. In less than a year, they had become the second largest real estate company in Jiangbei. Many people in Dong Yu Real Estate had this kind of complacent mentality.
It was useless to talk about it. Everyone had this kind of mentality.
Li Dong was prepared to tell Wu Shengnan about this bet when the bonds were issued. He did not believe that they could still sit still.
If they could not surpass Longhua in 3 years, then Wu Shengnan and the rest would not be Far away people anymore.
Don't think that they could continue to stay in this position after being controlled by Longhua. There were very few people who could really stay.
Longhua was not like Far away. There were a lot of professionals there. When the time comes, these people would most likely get lost. Now, they should have the motivation.
Hearing Li Dong's words, Shen Qian could not help but shake her head.
This guy was always anxious. She was not the only one who could see Li Dong's anxiety. Many people could see it too.
Since the establishment of Far away, he had been chasing after time. Sometimes, Shen Qian really wanted to ask him if there was a devil chasing after him.
If it was not for Li Dong's monthly medical examination, and she would read the medical report every time, Shen Qian would still have some bad Association.
Li Dong did not care about her and continued. "Once the 1 billion entered the market, it will cause a big chain reaction. I think it should not be difficult to get the remaining 2 billion. With this 3 billion, Far away's life will be much better this year. "
"I hope so. I just hope you will not make any big moves again."
"Don't worry. I should not be doing anything for the first half of the year."
Shen Qian rolled her eyes. Do you think there is something wrong with my ears?
So you mean to stop for the first half of the year and continue to stir up trouble in the second half of the year?
For the past two years, Shen Qian followed Li Dong. She did not have any other thoughts. There was only one feeling, excitement!
This guy always did not take the normal path. He always wanted to do something unexpected. It was impossible not to be excited.
As she was thinking about this, Li Dong asked again, "Has Wang Junyu arrived at the company?"
Shen Qian nodded. "He has arrived. I just realized why you chose him."
"Why do you say that?" Li Dong asked with some doubts.
Shen Qian said helplessly, "Because this guy is the same as you. He is extremely daring! He has only been in the company for a few days. Guess what he did? "
"What did he do?"
"He came to the company for a week and handed a proposal to Liu Hong …"
When Shen Qian finished, Li Dong could not help but touch his chin and smile. "Interesting. This guy's brain works quite fast."
Shen Qian rolled her eyes and said: "You are still so happy! He is a student who has not even graduated. What is he thinking about?! Far Away Mall did not invest much in total. The moment he opened his mouth, he said that we are going in the wrong direction. Marketing is the right way. Every year, the mall has to spend 1 billion on marketing. Is this something to be happy about? "
Li Dong said in astonishment, "He's not wrong. Marketing and publicity are the way to go. In this day and age, even good wine is afraid of a deep alley. I think he is not wrong. As for you, how did your thinking deteriorate? You were quite radical in the past. Now, you have become calm. "
Shen Qian said angrily, "With an unreliable boss like you, if I am not reliable, then wouldn't the company be filled with a bunch of radicals? I am here to pour cold water on you, lest you let your imagination run wild. In addition, when Wang Junyu said marketing, I did not say that I did not agree. Far Away Mall has been doing it. But he suggested that the annual marketing expenses should not be less than 1 billion. Is he crazy or are you crazy? How much profit does our mall make every year? It is even in a state of loss now. Anyway, I do not agree with such a large amount of marketing. "
