Hu Ming's attitude gave Li Dong a headache.
It was not easy to find a sucker these days.
Especially a rich sucker like Hu Ming. It was even more difficult.
Li Dong dared to ask for one or two billion because Hu Ming really had the money.
Although Hu Ming was not famous in the country, he was not weak.
He had been in the business world for more than 20 years. In the past, he had the backing of the Sun family. At that time, the Sun family was still a famous family. Hu Ming and his wife had accumulated a lot of wealth.
Outsiders thought that Nan Rui was Hu Ming's foundation.
Two years ago, Nan Rui even had to sell his building to survive.
At that time, Li Dong also thought that Nan Rui was just so-so. But now, Li Dong did not think so.
Hu Ming must have other sources of funds. Nan Rui was just his wealth on the surface. Maybe it was not the most important.
Hu Ming understood after seeing Hu Ming take 5% of Longhua's shares without any pressure.
Longhua's shares were definitely not the only ones. Old Hu definitely had other companies' shares, stocks, and other fixed assets in his hands.
Li Dong wanted to get some for emergencies since the old fox was so rich.
After all, the opportunity was in front of him. He must have the ability to take it.
Without money, no matter how chaotic Carrefour was, Li Dong would not have the opportunity to make a move.
Far away did not have enough funds. The 700 million from selling shares last time had to meet the needs of Far Away's development.
This time, it should not be easier than taking down Su Guo. Without one or two billion, Li Dong might not be able to take advantage.
Seeing Hu Ming laughing, Li Dong had to lower his standards. "Uncle Hu, if you really can't do it, how about one billion?"
Hu Ming did not laugh this time. He smiled. "Li Dong, it's not that I don't want to help you. I really don't have money."
"Uncle Hu, we don't need to be like this. You are a famous tycoon …"
"Forget it. There's no use in flattering me."
Hu Ming laughed for a while. He had an expression that said he would not borrow money even if he had money.
What a joke. If Li Dong said one or two billion, Hu Ming would be willing to do Li Dong a favor.
But 1 billion?
No matter how much money he had, there was no need to lend it to Li Dong.
If Li Dong wanted to transfer his Faraway Supermarket shares, he would consider it. But if he wanted to mortgage it, then forget it.
The mortgage didn't mean anything. When Li Dong returned the money, he wouldn't get anything.
If that was the case, why would he lend so much money to Li Dong? Li Dong was not his son.
Of course, Hu Ming could consider it as a son-in-law, but Li Dong had a special relationship with Shen Qian. Hu Ming had no intention of making him his son-in-law, so he would not be generous.
Seeing Hu Ming's resolute attitude, Li Dong had no choice but to remain silent.
He didn't say anything, but Hu Ming's interest was piqued. He smiled and said, "Actually, if you want money, it's not impossible …"
Li Dong's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Uncle Hu, feel free to state your conditions!"
"5% shares of Faraway Supermarket, 1 billion in cash!"
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Li Dong choked and rolled his eyes. He thought to himself, 'You really dare to dream.'
At the end of last year, the total assets of Faraway Supermarket exceeded 22 billion, and this did not include the brand value and the expansion in the past few months.
It should not be a problem for it to exceed 25 billion.
In the end, Hu Ming wanted to buy 5% shares with 1 billion. Not to mention that Li Dong was not interested, even if he wanted to sell his shares, he would not agree.
Seeing that Li Dong did not say anything, Hu Ming said again, "1.2 billion, Uncle Hu will not let you suffer a loss. I know the value of Faraway Supermarket, but that was last year. This year, the economy is declining. You should know that the value of Faraway Supermarket is not as good as last year. After all, the value of some fixed assets has shrunk. 1.2 billion, I estimate that Faraway Supermarket is worth more than 24 billion. "
Li Dong still shook his head. "Uncle Hu, you know that I'm not interested in transferring the shares of the supermarket. But Far Away Technology, you can consider it. I will give the investment bank the same price. Uncle Hu should know that investment banks have other benefits. As for your personal matters, you just have to pay the same price. This means that I'm giving in … "
Hu Ming quickly shook his head. "Forget it. I am not interested in the internet industry.
I am old, and I am timid.
Others say that internet companies are like picking up money from the ground, but I see corpses everywhere.
Since the end of last year, many internet companies had closed down.
Even if they did not close down, their assets had shrunk a lot.
Far Away Ali. I did not pay much attention to them in the past, but I noticed them Far Away.
When it was listed last year, the media made it sound like everyone had made a fortune.
But the share price had fallen from HK $40 to HK $20, and I think it will fall further. It is only a matter of time before it falls below the IPO price.
The internet industry is too risky. I dared to gamble once when I was young, but I don't dare to do it now. "
Hu Ming is not interested in the internet industry, and Li Dong does not want to transfer the shares of the supermarket. There is no room for negotiation.
Li Dong is not too disappointed. The chances of failure are high, and he had thought about this before he came.
Hu Ming's rejection is also within his considerations.
Li Dong did not force the issue. He raised his wine cup and said with a smile, "Then let's not talk about this anymore. Let me toast to Uncle Hu!"
Hu Ming smiled and raised his cup, and the two of them drank together.
At this moment, Hu Xiaorui came back from the washroom.
Hu Ming glanced at Li Dong. He is worried that Li Dong will bring up this matter again.
If his daughter heard this, she will pester him to lend money to Li Dong. Hu Ming is not willing, and he will be in a dilemma.
It wasn't that Li Dong hadn't done this before. When he bought bonds, Li Dong had actually done it once.
But this time, Hu Ming had wronged Li Dong. Li Dong did not invite Hu Xiaorui because he does not want to bring up this matter in front of Hu Xiaorui.
Li Dong was not an idiot. He could feel Hu Xiaorui's attitude toward him over the past two years.
They are not familiar with each other, and Li Dong does not have any qualms making use of this girl.
Now, Li Dong is still making use of her, and he is feeling guilty.
Li Dong did not mention anything about money or business. He smiled and accompanied Hu Ming for a few drinks.
When the banquet ends, Hu Ming is still puzzled. This guy really does not want to talk about it?
If Li Dong continues to ask, Hu Ming will still be willing to lend him 100 or 200 million. But Hu Ming did not expect Li Dong to stop talking about it.
Li Dong did not mention it, and Hu Ming is happy.
…
Outside the Golden Tripod Club.
Li Dong bade farewell to Hu Xiaorui and her father.
When Hu Ming boarded the car and left, he saw his daughter still staring at the car. Hu Ming could not help feeling a headache.
His daughter was not stupid. She was just stubborn and couldn't be pulled back by nine bulls.
She has taken a fancy to Li Dong, and Hu Ming will not be able to persuade her.
Just as he was having a headache, his eyes suddenly moved. He hesitated for a moment before he steeled his heart and said, "Little Rui, stop looking!"
Hu Xiaorui blushed. "I didn't look."
If it was in the past, Hu Ming would not say anything.
But today, Hu Ming wants to use this opportunity to make his daughter give up on that guy.
"Do you know what Li Dong said to me when you went to the washroom?" Hu Ming asked after some consideration.
"What did he say?" Hu Xiaorui asked curiously.
"To borrow money!"
Hu Ming's face turned livid. "He asked for 3 billion. He really thinks I'm an ATM machine.
I bought 500 million worth of bonds from Far Away back then, and that's the best I can do!
But now, Li Dong is even more ambitious.
What relationship do you think I have with him? We can't even be considered partners. Why would he dare to ask for money?
Xiaorui, I'm not belittling him, but he is not a good person.
From the beginning, he got close to you to make use of you for his own benefit. "
Seeing that his daughter is not bothered, Hu Ming gritted his teeth and continued. "Don't think that Dad is saying this on purpose. Think about it. When did he not meet you with a motive?
How did Far Away get rich in 2006?
Didn't he earn money from Su An? How did the money come about? Jia Wenhao helped him out.
And how did Jia Wenhao get to know him? You were the one who introduced him.
From then on, he used you to get help from your uncle.
Later, in order to overthrow Governor Huang, he used you to get help from your uncle. That's how he annexed Greenland and Menshen.
Then, he cooperated with you to make a movie. He was also using you.
Otherwise, do you think I would have bought 500 million worth of Far Away bonds for no reason?
Now, his appetite is even bigger. He asked for a few billion. Why did he dare to ask for this? Isn't it because he thinks he can take advantage of me?
But why does he think he can take advantage of me? That's because of you.
Xiaorui, Dad told you all this because I hope you can see his character clearly.
This guy is unscrupulous for his own benefit. He's not as good as you think.
He's entangled with Secretary Du's daughter and keeps a distance from you. You should know this in your heart.
In short, it's better to have less contact with him in the future.
As for East Star Entertainment, it's best to find an opportunity to cut ties with him. Our family doesn't lack money, so we don't have to cooperate with him.
If you really don't have money, your mom and I will support you. Our daughter doesn't need to rely on others to do business.
Also … "
As Hu Ming spoke, he suddenly saw his daughter yawning.
This attitude almost made Hu Ming vomit blood.
So what I said was for nothing?
You didn't take it seriously?
Why are you so narrow-minded?
Hu Ming gasped and stopped. Hu Xiaorui was also a little embarrassed. She covered her mouth and yawned again. Then she smiled and said, "Alright, Dad. I heard what you said. Well, I will have less contact with him in the future. This guy is especially bad. Oh right, Dad, why don't you lend him the money? Anyway, you have more money than you can spend … "
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Hu Ming almost choked to death. His face was full of grievance. Silly girl, what did you hear?
I said he was using you. Lending him money was just a side effect!
In the end, you didn't say anything else. You actually persuaded your father to lend you money. I said how much was it? It was 3 billion!
Do you really think your father runs a bank?
At this moment, Hu Ming didn't want to say anything. He made up his mind. Even if he had money, he wouldn't lend it!
What did that bastard do to my daughter? She didn't even listen to my father's words.
The more Hu Ming thought about it, the angrier he got. His daughter was not warm at all. It was all Li Dong's fault.
