Even if Li Dong said he had to be low key about selling the land, how could this matter be hidden from others?
The flow of billions of dollars could be easily found out with just a bit of attention.
After waiting for Dong Yu Real Estate to sell three pieces of land in a short week, Hsu Shengzhe finally couldn't help coming to find him.
Entering the door, Hsu Shengzhe did not even have time to speak before Li Dong said, "The matter of the land?"
"That's right!"
"Does it have anything to do with you? Why do you want to meddle in everything? "
Hsu Shengzhe snappily said, "How can it have nothing to do with me! Don't forget our agreement. You've emptied Dong Yu Real Estate and I'll take over the empty shell in three years? "
Li Dong curled his lips and said, "Don't be so sure. What do you mean you'll take over the empty shell? Is it your turn to take over?"
"I wasn't sure before, but now I'm sure." Hsu Shengzhe snorted and said, "You've already sold all of Dong Yu Real Estate's properties, do you think you can surpass Longhua in three years?"
"Of course."
"There's a limit to boasting!"
Li Dong was too lazy to care about him. He picked up a book and began to read it.
Hsu Shengzhe saw this and sat down beside him. He said with a frown, "Tell me the truth, what are you thinking? If you really want to give up the real estate industry, why would you let others take advantage of it? With our relationship, you can just find me. Could it be that I would take advantage of you? "
"I didn't say give up."
"But you're retreating right now. Li Dong, let's not talk about anything else. Are you still going to take over Dong Yu Real Estate's land?"
"That's right."
"We can talk about it. Longhua is willing to take it over!"
Hsu Shengzhe looked at him with anticipation. Once Dong Yu Real Estate was swallowed, Longhua Real Estate would truly become a giant in Jiangbei.
In this year, he had worked together with Li Dong and the others to defeat Men Shen, Green Territory, Hong Tu, as well as Yurun who had invaded Jiangbei.
If he can take down Dong Yu now, then Hsu Shengzhe can shout that Jiangbei is invincible!
How many years had it been? Twenty years!
In the past, although Longhua was powerful, it could not monopolize Jiangbei's real estate industry. But now, Hsu Shengzhe saw hope, and hope was right in front of him.
At this moment, even he himself felt like he was dreaming. Even their old man was in disbelief.
Within a year, Longhua had expanded by half.
It was comparable to the development speed of the previous five years, and all of this was achieved by the joint efforts of Hsu Shengzhe and Li Dong.
Originally, they thought that with Li Dong's miracles, it would be hard to say if Longhua could suppress Dong Yu in the future.
But now that Li Dong had suddenly retreated, whether they didn't believe it or thought he was crazy, the Xu Jianghua father and son felt that this was a rare opportunity.
After Dong Yu sold the three pieces of land, Hsu Shengzhe decided not to wait anymore and came to have a good talk with Li Dong.
Li Dong put down his book and said, "You want to take over?"
"Yes."
"Not selling!"
"Why!"
Hsu Shengzhe had a conflicted look on his face as he said in a somewhat indignant voice, "Even if you sell it to others, it's still the same. Are we giving you less money or what?"
"Because if I sell it to others, I can take it back. If I sell it to you, it's hard to say if I can take it back. Other than that, I'm also worried that if you buy this much land, Longhua will not have enough funds. As a friend, let me warn you, your expansion speed in this year is not slower than ours. Once there is a deviation in the policies, you will be courting death by buying so much land now. The game of beating the drum and passing the flowers will not last long. Furthermore, you are only beating the drum and not passing the flowers. This situation is even more dangerous. Don't be too ambitious. Be careful that you will die one day. "
Hsu Shengzhe frowned when he heard this and asked in a slightly serious tone, "Did you hear some news?"
Although he felt that his information network is not bad, Li Dong often knows some news that outsiders are not privy to.
Now that Dong Yu had sold the land and said these words, Hsu Shengzhe could not be sure if Dong Yu is just scaring him or telling the truth.
Li Dong said indifferently, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Anyway, I am just saying. Also, if you really want to take over, I will not stop you. Don't think I don't know that out of the three pieces of land, you have already bought one. "
Hsu Shengzhe frowned and did not say a word. Li Dong continued, "Seems like you have made up your mind. I will not persuade you. Maybe it is just as you think. This might be an opportunity, as long as you can hold on. Also, if you really want to talk about the land, you can talk to Dong Yu. I will not purposely stop you, nor will I give you special discounts. "
Hsu Shengzhe thought for a while and nodded. "Alright, I understand."
As they were talking, someone knocked on the courtyard door again.
The housekeeper went up to open the door. Wang Pengfei wiped his sweat and complained, "The weather is getting hot all of a sudden. General Manager Li still knows how to enjoy himself …"
As he was speaking, Wang Pengfei saw Hsu Shengzhe was also there. He frowned and said, "Chairman Xu is here too?"
Hsu Shengzhe smiled and said, "Chairman Wang, what a coincidence."
"That's right."
Their eyes were burning. Li Dong ignored them and said casually, "Old Wang, have a seat. Are you here for the land as well?"
Wang Pengfei was a little embarrassed. Li Dong smiled and said, "There's nothing else for you to come to me at this time. That's what Old Xu said just now. I can't be bothered to persuade you. Don't look for me, talk to Chairman Wu. If you have the ability, take over Dong Yu's land. Bear the consequences. That's all. "
Wang Pengfei glanced at Hsu Shengzhe and nodded. He did not continue on this topic.
The few of them sat down and chatted for a while. As they chatted, Hsu Shengzhe brought up the topic of the Ten Thousand Merchants Conference.
Hearing him mention this, Wang Pengfei could not help but say, "General Manager Li, you have been keeping a low profile recently. We thought you would go to this conference, but we didn't expect that you would not show up even when it's almost over."
Li Dong chuckled and said, "I can't be bothered to move around recently. Besides, I'm doing my business, and others are doing their business. What's the point of going? So far away, I don't have any projects that I need to work with. It doesn't matter if I go or not. "
When the conference opened, the Jiangbei provincial government had invited Li Dong to participate.
But at that time, Li Dong was too lazy to go, so he found an excuse to decline.
Hearing Li Dong say this, Hsu Shengzhe said with some regret, "It's a pity that you didn't go on the opening day. Elder Sun specially asked about it. If you had been there, I'm afraid Elder Sun would have come to Far away for an inspection later. "
Li Dong knew about this, so he smiled and said, "There's nothing to be sorry about. It's good that I didn't go. If I really went, I'm afraid that the big boss would give me a hard time. You've probably heard about what happened in Beijing at the end of last year. I didn't give him any face at all. I hit his precious granddaughter. Do you really think he doesn't mind? Not to mention that the old man is very protective of his own people. If he gave me a hard time in front of so many people, it would be ugly. "
Hsu Shengzhe and Wang Pengfei couldn't help but laugh, but Wang Pengfei still said, "I don't think so. He is protective of his own people. It's fine in private, but this is a formal occasion. The old man has to give Governor Qin some face."
The opening ceremony was attended by Qin Hanyuan and the old man of the Sun family. Li Dong was the leader of Jiangbei's private entrepreneurs.
Not to mention that Old Man Sun wouldn't get angry on this occasion. Even if he was angry, he would have to be careful.
Li Dong smiled and didn't continue on this topic. Old Man Sun was going to retire at the end of this month anyway. Li Dong wasn't too afraid of him.
The reason why he said this was just a joke.
Besides, at this time, he could just focus on his development. Even if the old man of the Sun family came to Far away for an inspection, it wouldn't be of much help to him.
If he wanted reputation, Li Dong's reputation was enough.
Throwing out 500 million in Sichuan wouldn't be over so quickly. At least in the next one or two years, Li Dong didn't need to worry too much about his reputation.
The few of them chatted for almost an hour. Finally, Li Dong sent the two of them out.
After they left, Li Dong shook his head slightly.
The two of them seemed to be determined to take over. Li Dong couldn't be bothered to say anything more.
In fact, the financial crisis might not necessarily affect them. If they could survive this, then there would be new developments after the financial crisis.
Fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. It was hard to say whether the final result would be good or bad.
…
Just when Dong Yu's sale of the land caused the outside world to speculate.
On June 1st, Far away made another move.
After a month of publicity, the huge Far away Farm finally went online.
On the first day, PP registered users increased by as much as 2 million.
Having been in the works for a month, many people were curious. What was so fun about this game that was being promoted by Distance Marketing and claimed to be a social game for all?
In just one day, Far away Farm ushered in a wave of popularity.
2 million didn't seem like a lot, but in reality, this number was scary enough.
However, the higher-ups of Distance Mall all had gloomy expressions on their faces. Distance Farm, which had a promotional fee of hundreds of millions of yuan, had only two million registered users on the first day of the launch after a month of preparation.
According to their estimates, with such a huge cost, it should be at least 5 million on the first day.
Registered users didn't mean they were active users. The number of daily visitors on the first day of the farm was actually far from 2 million.
In addition, PP originally had a few hundred thousand loyal users. Currently, there were only about 500,000 people who had started the farm game.
What did this mean?
This meant that of the 2 million registered users, only about one-tenth of the actual active users were!
What did spending over 100 million mean?!
In 2007, there weren't many games that had such a marketing cost, and almost all of them were large-scale online games.
Far away Farm, which had invested so much in this social game, ended up like this.
Everyone was indignant, but they couldn't do anything about it. Reality was just so cruel.
Far Away Building.
Li Dong casually twirled his ballpoint pen. Seeing that everyone was dejected, Li Dong laughed. "What, you're not satisfied with 2 million more users in a day?"
"Let's not talk about anything else. At least after the first day, we've gotten back the users we lost."
"But …"
Liu Hong looked embarrassed. "We've invested so much, but there were only 500,000 active users on the first day. This is far below our expectations."
Li Dong smiled faintly. "Expectations are expectations. I didn't say that we have to achieve it. Moreover, 500,000 active users is not a small number. This is just the beginning. The number of users will slowly increase. We'll see after a few months of operation. Also, don't let go of the marketing work. It's just money. If we can bring more than 2 million active users, 100 million is not a loss. If we can attract 10 million users, we'll make a profit even if we invest 500 million. Don't worry about spending money. As long as I think it's worth it. Today's meeting is not a criticism meeting. It's a celebration meeting. Let's have dinner together tonight. Those who need to have a holiday, don't think we've failed. "
Li Dong was quite satisfied with the 500,000 active users on the first day.
After all, this was a social game and had just been released. Everyone had not experienced the fun of it yet.
When the 500,000 active users were attracted, word of mouth, it might attract millions of users to join.
This was the charm of social games. Who doesn't have a few friends? If you play alone for a while and feel that it's fun, but your friends don't want to start a farm, you must mention it.
Just like those people in his previous life. When the farm was popular, who didn't have a few sub-accounts?
This was not something that could be achieved overnight. It had to be done slowly.
To be able to attract 500,000 players on the first day was much better than Happy Farm in his previous life.
In Feng Yu's previous life, there might be hundreds of millions of players playing Happy Farm. But because Renren and Tencent were split up, the number of active users Far away was less than half of the players.
Furthermore, the number of users in 2007 was much lesser than 2008. Li Dong felt it would not be difficult to get 1 million users next year.
With this foundation, Li Dong was not too worried.
As for the 100 million marketing fees, it might seem like a lot. But as long as 10% of the users were converted to Far away's loyal users, Feng Yu would be profiting.
After comforting everyone, Li Dong continued. "Also, continue to develop social games. PP must learn from QQ. We must have what others have and what they don't have. We must learn from each other. If we don't learn, how can we improve? As for spending money, just spend it. I had sold half of Dong Yu Real Estate, and CEO Wu hates me. Do you want me to keep the money in the bank for interest? Spend it as much as you can. Also, keep upgrading the farm. When everyone is tired of the current model, we must catch up. We must not give the pirates any chance to overtake us. Once the pirated version catches up, we will replace it. Do you know what I mean? "
Everyone did not know whether to laugh or cry. How could they not understand?
Wasn't he talking about Tencent?
Li Dong's meaning was too obvious. They would follow Tencent in other aspects. Once Tencent developed the farm, they would upgrade it immediately.
Although this was shameless, Li Dong was shameless. Who could do anything to him?
Also, Tencent was doing the same. It was all about who could capture the users' psychology.
If the farm could not meet the users' requirements, it would be better not to upgrade it. This was also a risk. It depended on whether the risk could be successful.
Li Dong saw everyone nodding and stood up. "Alright. That's all for now. Also, CEO Shen, come with me for a meeting. Director Liu will organize a dinner for everyone. It will be a celebration. "
Liu Hong nodded. Shen Qian stood up and followed Li Dong out of Far Away Mall and towards the lift.
