After shoveling the snow, Wang Jia and the rest waved at Li Dong and left with smiles on their faces.
There was no warm greeting. Friends do not need such things.
Watching them leave, Li Dong straightened his back. He only had blessings in his heart.
…
January 21st, Monday.
This day was called "Black Monday" by the investors.
On this day, Ping An failed to raise 160 billion, and Ping An hit its limit.
On the same day, the Shanghai Composite Index plummeted by 5.14%. The Shanghai Composite Index fell below 5000 points, and thousands of stocks hit their limit.
By the time the market closed in the afternoon, Hua Xia's stock market had lost hundreds of billions.
Countless investors wanted to cry but had no tears. In the heavy snow, they did not know if there would be a few more nameless corpses.
At night.
A tea restaurant.
When Li Dong arrived, Hsu Shengzhe was chewing.
Hearing footsteps, Hsu Shengzhe looked up. His mouth was full, and he said, "Sit."
Li Dong said unhappily, "What's the matter with you? Every time you say you are treating, you end up eating alone, and I have to eat your leftovers? People like you, if it wasn't for the occasion, I would have slapped you to death! "
"Competition for Yaqi!"
"What are you talking about?"
Hsu Shengzhe drank a mouthful of soup, panted, and said, "I said you are too demanding! Besides, I did not touch your food. We are eating separately, understand? "
"F * ck off. You are disrespecting me by eating in advance!" Li Dong said angrily.
Hsu Shengzhe said helplessly, "Fine, fine, fine. It's my fault. I will treat you next time. I am really hungry. You don't know how busy I have been these few days. I only drank a glass of milk in the morning to fill my stomach. I have not had a sip of water since then. I wanted to wait for you just now, but I was too hungry and could not hold it in. "
Li Dong took off his jacket and sat opposite him. He said mockingly, "Didn't you ask for it? Are you really so busy that you don't even have time to eat? "
Hsu Shengzhe chuckled and said, "That's true. I asked for it."
Li Dong ignored him and called the waiter over to order a meal. Then he said, "Yue Qin is about to give birth, right?"
Speaking of his wife, Hsu Shengzhe threw away the troubles in his heart and grinned foolishly, "Soon, the due date will be in a few days. When the child is born, I'll be a father. You don't know, I haven't been able to sleep for the past few days. That feeling was really indescribable. When I sleep at night, I can feel that my child and I are connected. My child is also looking forward to coming to this world … "
"The more you talk about it, the more unbelievable it is. Alright, I know you're going to be a father, don't show off in front of me." Li Dong interrupted him with a smile and said, "I forgot to ask, is it a boy or a girl?"
"Girls, let me tell you, girls are the ones who are likable. I am handsome and Yue Qin is beautiful. Needless to say, my daughter will definitely be beautiful in the future. I'm a little troubled now. What kind of boyfriend do you think my daughter should find in the future? "
"F * ck!"
Li Dong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I say, aren't you worrying too much? The child hasn't even been born yet, and you're already thinking about a boyfriend. A daughter is good, and I quite like girls. When the time comes, I'll recognize a godfather … "
"Get lost!"
Hsu Shengzhe suddenly turned hostile and said with a vigilant look, "What are you doing? You want to have designs on my daughter?"
Li Dong's face darkened and he gritted his teeth. "Hsu Shengzhe, are you out of your mind? I, Li Dong, am taking the initiative to become someone's godfather. Ordinary people can forget about it. I'm giving you face, but you're still taking advantage of me! Forget it, I don't want my goddaughter anymore. You protective maniac, go play by yourself. "
Hsu Shengzhe snorted. "Anyway, I'm not doing it. If you want to have a daughter, do it yourself. Don't you dare have designs on my daughter. When my daughter grows up, you'll only be about 40 years old. It's too dangerous. Don't come to my house for no reason in the future. Also … "
Li Dong snapped, "Are you done? If you continue with your nonsense, I'm leaving. You ungrateful fellow, I'm just afraid that you'll go bankrupt. When the time comes, you won't even have money to raise your daughter. I'm thinking that when you go bankrupt, as a godfather, I can at least take care of you. Why can't you understand my painstaking efforts? "
Hsu Shengzhe was speechless and he lowered his head to continue drinking his soup.
After a while, Hsu Shengzhe raised his head and said, "You know?"
"Know what?"
Li Dong gave a perfunctory reply. Hsu Shengzhe's face changed and he said softly, "I know I can't hide it from you, but this is my only hope!"
"If I don't make a move now, there won't be another chance in the future. This time, as long as I succeed, I can leave my daughter a family business worth billions! "
Hsu Shengzhe's eyes turned red as he said, "Who does Xu Rulong think he is?
Ever since he was young, he has never been better than me!
But the old man trusts him and dotes on him. Compared to him, I'm like a stepmother!
I can't accept this!
Li Dong, do you understand this feeling? You won't!
I've put in ten times, a hundred times more effort than him, but in the end, it's all for him. Why?
Ever since I got married and had a child, I knew what I wanted to do.
In the past, I was a brother, and I became the chairman of Longhua. I thought that it would be enough to let Boss live a wealthy life.
Doesn't he like to pick up girls?
If one isn't enough, I'll find two. If two isn't enough, I'll find ten.
He likes luxurious houses. Fine, the Xu Family Mansion is luxurious enough. I'll give it to him. If he runs out of money, I can buy it for him.
But he's not satisfied!
He wants to take away everything, everything that belongs to me! "
"Enough!"
Li Dong frowned and interrupted, "You're crazy. Don't be so emotional."
"I don't want to listen to these things, and I can't be bothered. What do you understand? You'll know when you watch television dramas.
It's just an excuse to deceive others. What's the point of telling me?
Even if Xu Rulong really gave up, are you really willing to support him for free for the rest of his life?
When he asks you for 10 million, you agree.
When he asks for 100 million, you grit your teeth and continue to agree.
When he asks for 1 or 2 billion, will you still agree?
Don't tell me to support him for the rest of his life. Why are you telling me such nonsense?
At the end of the day, it's all because of your ambition. You're just looking for a dignified reason to make yourself feel at ease. Am I right? "
Hsu Shengzhe was stunned for a moment, then said dejectedly, "That's right, I'm indeed looking for an excuse. I just can't accept it, I can't accept it, and I'm not willing! "
Li Dong said calmly, "Isn't that enough? The winner takes all. You won, so I congratulate you. You lost, but I don't pity you. You deserved it. "
"That's right. You don't deserve any sympathy." Hsu Shengzhe regained his composure and smiled. "You know me well."
"In Jiangbei, I, Hsu Shengzhe, will only listen to you, Li Dong! If Xu Rulong is like you, I will accept it.
These are my heartfelt words. If he is like you, I will give up Longhua to him.
But he can't. I know him.
In the current market environment, he will only be swallowed alive. In the end, there will be nothing left of Longhua.
Maybe, you will be the one to get rid of Longhua in the end.
At this time, do you think I will give up?
I won't! "
Li Dong could not be bothered to continue the conversation. He asked while eating. "Let's not talk about these useless things. Why did you look for me?"
"Since you guessed it, I won't hide it from you. I want to transfer 2 billion from the stock market. "
"Up to you. But business is business. You will not get a share of the 2 billion."
Hsu Shengzhe's mouth twitched. He had made a lot of money in the stock market.
Especially in the past few days, when the stock market plunged. They had made at least 1 billion since they entered the market.
According to the previous share, he could get more than 300 million.
But if he withdrew the 2 billion, he would lose more than 100 million.
Hsu Shengzhe exhaled and nodded. "Okay."
"Anything else?"
"Nothing."
Hsu Shengzhe thought for a while and narrowed his eyes. "Let me remind you. Don't get any ideas. It's not that I don't want you to enter the market. It's just that I'm not sure how things will develop. If Longhua is finished, don't blame me for not reminding you. "
Li Dong laughed and said, "You speak as if it's true. Why do you care about me? I'm happy to lose money, so why do you care?"
"I can't be bothered with you. But I'll be frank. This time, I will not let you mess up my plan. If you have other thoughts, I advise you to extinguish them as soon as possible. If I, Xu Shengzhe, can't obtain something, I'd rather destroy it than let others have it. "
"Extreme!"
Li Dong shook his head. "You're too extreme. Do you know you're a bad influence on children?"
Hsu Shengzhe snorted. "I'm extreme? I learned it from you! Ask yourself. What will you do if you encounter such a situation? If someone wants to attack Far Away, will you give it up? Believe it or not, you're even more extreme than me! Even if you destroy Far Away, I'm afraid you won't give it up. If you don't believe me, just wait and see! "
Li Dong said coldly. "Don't wait and see. You won't see it! You won't get the chance because I'm stronger than you! "
"That's hard to say!"
"Hehe, when that day comes, you'll know that I, Li Dong, am not someone you can compare to. Your petty tricks are not worthy of being seen in public. "
Hsu Shengzhe pursed his lips and said nothing.
Actually, he believed what Li Dong said to some extent.
If that day really comes, Hsu Shengzhe had no doubt that this guy would poke a hole in the sky.
These few years, Li Dong had become more and more restrained.
When he first appeared, he smashed up a clubhouse, fought with people with knives, and did all kinds of flamboyant things.
But since he became rich, Li Dong gradually became more restrained.
Usually, this guy would greet people with a smile. He almost never fell out with people.
But whoever thought that the current Li Dong was soft and easy to bully was the real idiot.
The two did not continue this topic.
After a while, Hsu Shengzhe said again. "In a few days, when my daughter is born, I'll give her a big gift."
"Do whatever you want. I'll just watch the show."
"Only a fool would believe you."
Hsu Shengzhe snorted. But he was prepared to be bitten by this guy.
But if Li Dong went overboard or wanted to be the final winner, Hsu Shengzhe did not mind letting him have a taste of his own medicine.
Next, the two talked about the stock market.
The stock market had plunged today, and they did not know what would happen tomorrow.
There was also the heavy snow. If the snow did not stop, everyone would be in trouble, and the losses would not be small.
Finally, they talked about Far Away. Far Away was probably the biggest winner of the heavy snow this time.
Not only did they defeat Taobao's market in East China, but they also had an extraordinary response in society.
Now, Far Away had almost become the spokesperson of the national industry. Whenever Far Away was mentioned, many people would praise it.
Li Dong did not feel anything when his family talked about this. But when Hsu Shengzhe mentioned it, Li Dong could not help but smile.
He had indeed achieved a lot in the heavy snow this time.
Supermarkets, logistics, and Far Away Technology. He had benefited a lot from these three.
The only one that did not make any progress was Dong Yu Real Estate. But Li Dong was not anxious. As the stock market plunged, the housing market would not be far away.
The two of them ate and drank until 10 pm before going their separate ways.
Before leaving, Hsu Shengzhe rubbed his face and let out a long sigh. "Li Dong, sometimes it is really nice to chat with you. Others do not understand us, but only we can understand ourselves. If we become enemies in the future, I will not go easy on you. "
His words were deep, but Li Dong did not cooperate. He said with a look of disdain, "Stop acting cool. Why? Do you want me to say that heroes cherish heroes? We are all here to make a living, and you are talking like you are so great. Let's go. I hope you will not go bankrupt this time. "
After saying this, Li Dong got into the car.
After he left, Hsu Shengzhe scolded, "Country bumpkin, it is really hard to talk to this guy!"
