Li Dong was about to take a nap, but in the end, he fell asleep without realizing it.
When he woke up, Shen Qian was sitting beside him.
Seeing that he was awake, Shen Qian hurriedly said, "Do you want some water?"
"Make me a cup of strong tea."
"Strong tea is not good. Plain tea."
"Alright, do as you see fit."
Li Dong replied lazily. Looking at Shen Qian busying herself, the corners of his mouth curled into a slight smile.
When Shen Qian walked over with a cup of tea, Li Dong yawned and said, "I don't want to move. Feed me a few mouthfuls."
Shen Qian rolled her eyes and did not refuse. She picked up the cup and fed him a few mouthfuls.
After drinking the tea, Li Dong felt that his throat was not as dry as before. He exhaled and said, "That feels good. By the way, has Old Du left?"
"Don't call him Old Du. Call him that in front of him if you dare." Shen Qian replied in a bad mood. She then said, "Not yet, but soon. It won't be later than the end of the month."
"I heard that a deputy secretary came to the province?"
"Yes, he was transferred from Minnan."
Li Dong grinned and said, "This is going to be fun. When Chang Yuanshan was transferred over to be the deputy governor, everyone said that he would succeed Qin Hanyuan. Who would have thought that Old Chang would really become Old Chang. Fate really makes a fool out of people! "
Shen Qian also sighed and said, "The political world is unpredictable. Before the dust settles, no one can see clearly. Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with you. If it wasn't for you … "
Li Dong hurriedly stopped her and said, "This matter cannot be blamed on me. It's his surname that's not good. Why not Chang? Managing Yuanshan is suitable."
Shen Qian could not help but laugh and said, "Don't spout nonsense. What does this have to do with surname?"
"It has a lot to do with it. Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you."
Li Dong joked and said, "That's good. I was a little worried at first, but now I'm not. Chang Yuanshan might be polite to me, but how can the old man not hate me? I got my son-in-law in, and my daughter became the second marriage first. If the old man gets the chance, he might really kill me. Now, the second in charge of the provincial government, plus he is new. He might have a fight with that person. No matter who wins or loses, he won't have the time to bother me now. "
Li Dong had only briefly mentioned Chang Yuanshan's matter. In fact, he had long felt that something was amiss.
Changyuanshan was not in charge of Jiangbei in his previous life. How could there be such a big change in this life?
The result was as he expected, Chang Yuanshan indeed did not have that fate.
After talking about politics for a while, Li Dong looked at Shen Qian and asked, "Why hasn't there been any news from your mother recently? What is she doing?"
Shen Qian looked at Shen Qian and said, "Why is there no news from your mother? What is she doing?"
Shen Qian said unhappily, "You are so free. You like to meddle in everything."
That woman, Shen Xuehua, was not an ordinary person. Li Dong had not heard any news about her recently, so he was indeed a little curious.
Moreover, Du Anmin was really going to the capital this time. It wouldn't take more than ten days.
Li Dong wanted to know if Shen Xuehua had ruined the Shen Corporation. This woman must have been preparing to leave the Shen Corporation.
But before leaving, Shen Xuehua had to get some capital.
Because he was too busy before, Li Dong did not have time to pay attention. Now that he was finally free, he naturally wanted to understand.
Li Dong wanted to know. Although Shen Qian talked big, she still told him about Shen Xuehua's current situation.
Similar to Li Dong's guess, Shen Xuehua had indeed left the Shen Corporation before Du Anmin entered the capital.
But Shen Xuehua was not an ordinary person. She had left the Shen Corporation because she wanted something.
Before this woman left, she had indeed ruined the Shen Corporation.
As for how she did it, Shen Qian did not say, and Li Dong was too lazy to ask.
In any case, the result was that Shen Xuehua had emptied all the Shen Corporation's liquid funds. This was secondary. In addition, the Shen Corporation had paid a big price to make Shen Xuehua cut off contact with the Shen Corporation.
Now, Shen Qian's mother did not open a company. Instead, she turned to angel investment.
This had fewer restrictions than opening a company. At least, it had little to do with where Du Anmin worked.
Although the angel fund had just been established, Shen Xuehua's angel investments had become famous in a short period of time.
There was nothing else. She was rich and willful.
From the Shen Corporation, Shen Xuehua had received at least two billion in cash. Once she got the money, Shen Xuehua invested wantonly.
She invested in some Internet industries and quickly became famous in the industry.
In less than a few months, the angel investments under Shen Xuehua's control had invested at least one billion.
When Shen Qian first mentioned it, Li Dong thought that Shen Xuehua had good taste. When Shen Qian said that Shen Xuehua had invested in Jingdong, Li Dong could not help but curl his lips and say, "Is your mother trying to challenge us?"
Shen Qian said helplessly, "I tried to persuade her once, but my mother said that Jingdong has good potential, and Xu Xin thinks highly of it …"
"Wait, how did your mother get involved with today's venture capital?"
Shen Qian frowned and said, "Just say it properly. What do you mean by getting involved? They are both in the business world in Beijing. It's not strange for them to know each other. Moreover, Xu Xin is quite famous in the investment field. This time, my mother is also in this field. Both of them do not have much capital in the venture capital industry, so it's normal for them to form an alliance. "
"Then how much did your mother invest in Jingdong?"
"One hundred million."
"Renminbi?"
"Nonsense. What else do you think?"
Li Dong laughed and said, "I'm glad for your mother. Otherwise, if she invested too much, what would she do if she lost everything in the end? If it weren't for us, I wouldn't be surprised if Jingdong could rise. Liu Qiangdong is quite capable. But with us in front of him, it won't be so easy for him to continue on our path. Let's wait and see. Maybe your mother won't lose out. "
Shen Qian did not refute. Indeed, Jingdong seemed to be on the same path as Far away …
Fortunately, Liu Qiangdong did not know about this. Otherwise, he would be beaten to death.
He had planned to do this long ago. It was just that Li Dong carried it out ahead of time. Now, he had become the plagiarist.
Of course, even if he knew Shen Qian's thoughts, Liu Qiangdong could not do anything.
After all, from the current situation, Far away was indeed one step ahead of him, and the gap was huge. Based on the current scale of Jingdong, it would take at least five to six years to catch up to Far away.
This was also under the situation that Far away was not developing. Otherwise, it would be a problem for them to catch up.
Li Dong and Shen Qian chatted for a while. Finally, it was getting late, so the two returned to the Provincial Party Committee Compound together.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was late November.
In late November, the financial crisis gradually had some impact on the country.
The most direct impact was probably the stock market. From the peak in October, the stock market began to fall in November.
This was the second time the stock market fell after May 30th.
The previous May 30th could be said to be the impact of the domestic policy. This time, a smart person could see that this was no longer just a policy issue.
The entire stock market environment was changing. The bull market that lasted for nearly two years was gradually fading away.
The stock market fell, and the housing market gradually changed.
Although the stock market and the housing market were not closely related, the two were actually closely connected.
With the fall of the stock market, the previously crazy housing market gradually became sluggish.
In 2007, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was crazy.
King of buildings and land were frequently appearing everywhere. Everyone madly took land to build buildings without spending money. The land that could be bought for 100 million yesterday could be sold for 200 million the next day.
Especially in the first and second tier cities, it was even crazier. The third and fourth tier cities were slightly better.
However, when the impact came, it was the third and fourth tier cities that suffered.
After all, there was a market in the first and second tier cities. Places like Beijing and Shanghai were expensive, but many people felt that it was worth it.
However, it was different in the third and fourth tier cities. Previously, housing prices had skyrocketed, and consumers had also fallen into a frenzy.
Now that they had sobered up, these people realized that it was just a third or fourth tier city. There was no room for appreciation at all.
In addition to the crazy withdrawal of buyers, the country was also constantly regulating.
On September 15th, the Central Bank raised interest rates for the fifth time this year.
On September 27th, the People's Bank of China and the China Banking Regulatory Commission raised the down payment ratio for housing loans.
On September 30th, land supply regulation measures were introduced, stipulating that the construction land for low-rent housing, affordable housing, and small and medium-sized ordinary commercial housing should not be less than 70% of the total residential land.
…
On October 31st, the National Development and Reform Commission issued a policy to restrict foreign investment.
In November, the central government issued three consecutive policy guarantee plans for the construction of low-rent housing.
For real estate developers, building low-rent housing and affordable housing was not worth the loss.
However, at this time, the banks were very strict on loans. The money supply was tight, and the foreign financial crisis was sweeping the world. At this time, many small and medium-sized real estate developers were afraid.
Not only small and medium-sized real estate developers were afraid, but some large real estate developers were also worried.
In this atmosphere, there were more and more houses on the market, but there were fewer and fewer buyers.
When supply exceeded demand, it was often a sign of collapse.
Real estate companies couldn't sell their houses, they couldn't recoup their funds, and they couldn't repay their loans.
If they couldn't repay their loans, the banks would further tighten the money supply, and the real estate developers would be under more pressure. The houses would become cheaper, but the buyers were still unwilling to buy …
This way, a vicious cycle was formed.
Li Dong didn't pay attention to other places, but he had been paying attention to the housing market in Pingchuan.
In late November, housing prices fell for the first time in a year, and the volume of transactions also decreased significantly.
Previously, under the state's regulation, although housing prices rose slowly, they were actually still increasing.
However, as the stock market continued to fall, the crazy housing market finally showed signs of collapse.
At this moment, although it wasn't obvious, and many people didn't even notice it, Li Dong and the others all noticed it.
It wasn't just the housing market, inflation was also very high this year.
If there was anyone in Pingchuan who knew this the best, it would be Li Dong.
Far away had a lot of life supermarkets. Daily necessities, rice, oil, and salt were all necessities in the supermarkets, and they were also closely related to the lives of ordinary people.
Starting from the second half of the year, prices started to rise.
Previously, the wholesale price of rice was only about 1.4 per catty, and in the past, the increase was around 15%.
However, starting from the second half of the year, the increase started to increase.
In less than half a year, the price of rice had increased by more than 20%. Although the difference was only one or two cents, if one thought about it carefully, one would know that inflation was very high.
Prices had increased, and so had labor costs. The cost of everything had increased.
However, the market demand had decreased, and all of this indicated that trouble was coming.
Li Dong didn't have the intention to save the world. It was already good enough that he could save himself.
With 5 billion in cash, Li Dong planned to enter the market and make a small profit.
Without external support, although he coveted many things, he couldn't do anything. He could only choose the safest way to make money.
Just as Li Dong was about to enter the market to make a profit, someone came to look for him.
At this time, other than Hsu Shengzhe, there was no one else who came to look for him.
Ever since he rejected Li Dong, Hsu Shengzhe had also been paying attention to the changes in the domestic economy, and even the world's economy.
The impact of the sub-prime mortgage crisis was getting bigger and bigger, and he also saw what Li Dong saw.
In October, the stock market started to go downhill, and Hsu Shengzhe also noticed it.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Hsu Shengzhe chose to wait and see. He waited for a month, and at the end of November, Hsu Shengzhe couldn't sit still anymore.
On the 30th of November, when the central government announced the third affordable housing management plan, Hsu Shengzhe rushed to the Provincial Party Committee.
