Yuan Chengdao and the others did not say anything.
It was not convenient for them to say it. If they said it, they might not be able to please both sides.
If they supported Wu Shengnan, they might get Shen Qian's friendship, but they might offend Li Dong.
If they did not support her, they might offend them all.
No one knew the relationship between Li Dong and Shen Qian.
Previously, Li Dong wanted to transfer 20% of the group's shares to Shen Qian. Shen Qian rejected that time. This time, it was 5%, and it was nominally an escrow. No one knew what Li Dong was thinking.
Others were silent, but Shen Qian could not be silent.
After Wu Shengnan finished speaking, Shen Qian said, "I don't agree!"
Wu Shengnan hurriedly said, "This is the best way, CEO Shen. It's just a name. You don't get a share of the money, and the shares are not actually yours. If the dividends don't reach the foundation, the group has the right to take back these shares. In fact, it's just a name. The main reason is that you are the chairman of the foundation. Otherwise, if someone else were to be the chairman, I would say the same thing. "
Shen Qian frowned and said, "Even so, I don't agree! I was originally going to donate it to the foundation. Now that the shares are in my hands, what's going on? And it's not convenient for me … "
Wu Shengnan knew that she was talking about her identity, so she immediately said, "I don't think it's okay. I've already said that this is an escrow.
This money is used for the foundation, for charity.
Or it's not specific to one person. It's the same for the chairman of the foundation. What do you think?
If that's the case, we don't have to make it so complicated.
Otherwise, according to the new company law, even if General Manager Li wants to donate shares, he has to go through the approval of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and send an investigation team to investigate the operation of the foundation.
In this way, not only will it add to the trouble, it may not be approved in the end.
After all, according to the regulations, if the shares are donated, they can save this part of the tax.
So far away, the tax rate is not low. It's hard to say if it will be approved. After all, it will reduce a lot of tax … "
Wu Shengnan's words were actually a little unreasonable, but no one refuted it.
If he really donated the money, he would be able to save some money.
However, they were not happy with Li Dong's decision to donate his shares.
They were used to Li Dong's dictatorship. If something happened to the foundation in the future, the shares would fall into someone else's hands. That was not the result they wanted to see.
Everyone turned to look at Li Dong.
In fact, when Wu Shengnan said this, Li Dong was already thinking about it.
What's the difference between donating shares to the foundation and giving shares to Shen Qian to manage?
The only difference was his reputation. If he donated his shares to the foundation, his reputation as a philanthropist would be even greater.
But for Li Dong, he didn't need fame.
In that case, Wu Shengnan's suggestion didn't seem to be any different.
The reason why Li Dong wanted to donate his shares was because he was afraid that he would no longer be around when he was reborn.
Since he had reincarnated, he had to do something meaningful.
If the shares were given to the foundation, even if he was really gone, there was nothing to worry about.
Now that Shen Qian was managing it, Li Dong also believed that Shen Qian wouldn't do anything about it. Even if she did, Li Dong didn't care.
Thinking of this, Li Dong didn't stay silent anymore. He nodded and said, "Then it's settled. The dividends from these shares must be paid every year."
So far, the annual profit margin was not low. The net profit of all the industries added together would probably exceed 10 billion.
Of course, this was profit. It didn't mean dividends.
The dividends were not that much, but it was not a small amount either. 5% of the shares would probably have an annual dividend of hundreds of millions.
This was only for now. There would be more in the future. This much money was more than enough to be used for charity.
Li Dong made the final decision. He didn't give others a chance to refute. He said, "That's it for now. Everyone, go back to your work. Meeting adjourned!"
The others left.
…
After they left, Shen Qian frowned and said, "This matter can't be settled like this. If you want to donate, just donate. What's wrong with me managing it?"
Li Dong glanced at her and said, "It's not for you. Don't you understand managing it? You're the chairman of the foundation after all. This matter is settled. I don't want to trouble myself with the audit and investigation. "
"But …"
"Why are you being so wishy-washy? Alright, that's it. By the way, what are we having for lunch? "
Shen Qian rolled her eyes. Can you not change the topic so abruptly?
But she thought about it. It was true. So be it if I manage it.
As long as I don't feel guilty, there's nothing to worry about.
Shen Qian had money herself. It wasn't worthwhile for her to think about these shares. She wouldn't covet the dividends. She didn't have any other thoughts. Since Li Dong insisted, she didn't want to say anything more.
…
At the end of the meeting, Li Dong cut the Gordian knot and quickly finalized the transfer of shares.
He divided his shares into four parts. Shen Qian would manage 5%.
His parents would each own 5%. This was what Li Dong had done previously.
In fact, Li Dong's shares were not much different from the group's shares.
Sun Tao only owned 3% of the supermarket's shares. It was a very low proportion. Weibo's shares in Far Away Technology was not big. Considering the whole group, it was even smaller.
So even if Li Dong gave away 15%, he was still the biggest shareholder.
His parents would not use these shares. Even Cao Fang didn't know about these things. Only Li Chengyuan knew a little.
…
For the next period of time, Far Away kept a low profile and didn't show up.
On the supermarket's side, it was busy with its own expansion. On the other hand, it was busy negotiating with Carrefour.
The logistics side was also expanding rapidly. Storage centers and express delivery points were quickly opened.
Dongyu Real Estate was negotiating with Pengfei Real Estate. As expected, Wang Pengfei agreed without much consideration.
On the other hand, Wu Shengnan led a team to explore the country. She was ready to complete Li Dong's task of hoarding land.
Far Away Technology was developing steadily. It wasn't as fast as the previous two years, but Li Dong didn't care too much.
The data center was still under construction. The mobile strategy was still being laid out. There weren't any breakthroughs at the moment. Li Dong didn't plan to make any big moves at this time.
As for Taobao, ever since the Taobao City plan and the merger with Ali's mother, there were no more movements.
Everyone was accumulating and settling down.
2008 wasn't the time to stir up trouble. If Li Dong didn't take the initiative to stir up trouble, most people wouldn't fight with him at this time. It would hurt both sides.
…
Li Dong didn't go to the Hua Xia Alumni Association gathering at the end of May. However, Wu Yajun told Li Dong the details of what happened at the gathering.
When Old Niu asked for help this time, everyone in the alumni association more or less helped.
The Association raised 200 million yuan to help. New Oriental and Focus Media also raised funds to help Mengniu.
Mengniu's share price finally stabilized. Others also bought some of Mengniu's shares.
Although Li Dong didn't go, he still bought ten million yuan of Mengniu's shares as a gesture.
Anyway, he wouldn't make a loss. He didn't want to be too estranged from Old Niu.
Previously, this matter was exposed because of him. Although Old Niu didn't say anything, he definitely took it to heart.
This time, Li Dong bought ten million yuan of Mengniu's shares. At least his attitude showed that he didn't want to start a feud.
Of course, if Old Niu wanted to hate Li Dong and make another enemy, Li Dong wouldn't mind.
May was spent in sadness and praying for blessings.
In the blink of an eye, it was June.
In June, the graduation season was approaching.
Some universities started to hold their graduation ceremony in June.
Jiangzhou University was one of them. They would hold their graduation ceremony on June 26th.
On June 1st, Jiangzhou University sent someone to deliver the invitation card and letter to Li Dong in person.
It was Fang Qingfei who delivered the invitation. Fang Qingfei was Li Dong's counselor in name.
At least, Li Dong was still a student of Jiangzhou University.
…
In the reception room.
Fang Qingfei looked around casually. Li Dong's private reception room wasn't luxurious.
There were a few sofas, a table, a wine cabinet, and a few oil paintings.
When Bai Su came in with a cup of tea, Fang Qingfei couldn't help but laugh. "You look more mature than me. You make me feel a little embarrassed."
Bai Su blushed. She used to have a good relationship with Fang Qingfei, so they weren't estranged.
Good students always had a good relationship with their teachers. Bai Su was no exception.
Before Li Dong arrived, Bai Su sat down in front of Fang Qingfei. She said with a smile, "Ms. Fang, don't flatter me. I might get arrogant."
Fang Qingfei laughed. "Why are you so arrogant? You can be arrogant when you surpass your boss one day."
Speaking of Li Dong, Bai Su couldn't help but feel depressed. "Forget it. He's a monster. How can I surpass him? I'm not even qualified to be his secretary. If I didn't take advantage of being his classmate, I wouldn't even be his assistant, let alone his secretary. "
Fang Qingfei frowned slightly. "Are you exaggerating?"
Seeing Bai Su's expression, Fang Qingfei couldn't help but pinch her face.
Bai Su giggled and pushed her hand away. She lowered her voice and said, "Teacher Fang, I'm telling the truth.
You're still so naive. You don't even know his status in the country.
A few days ago, he had a meeting with Secretary Qin of the Provincial Party Committee. Guess where Secretary Qin received him? He personally went down to the Provincial Party Committee building.
Even I benefited from it. The Provincial Party Committee's Secretary welcomed me.
Oh my, I didn't pay much attention at first. But guess what? The Director of the Education Department went to work, and he was so polite when he saw the Secretary.
I remember when this Director came to our school, even the Principal was very polite to him.
Compared to him, I used to think our Principal was quite impressive. But now, he's nothing … "
Fang Qingfei glared at her. "How can we compare? Our Principal is an intellectual!"
Amused, Bai Su said, "Ms. Fang, intellectuals have to eat, too."
"You …" Fang Qingfei was embarrassed. She mumbled, "You used to be so pure, but now you've become as vulgar as him. Money is money. Some things can't be bought with money. "
Although she said that, Fang Qingfei sighed in her heart.
She wasn't really ignorant. How could she not know that?
Without money, could Wang Jia be saved?
Sometimes, society was just so cruel and so realistic.
You had to admit it. People were social animals. When others recognized the power of capital, but you didn't, it meant you were out of line with society.
If Li Dong didn't have money, why would Jiangzhou University be so polite to him?
They even specially arranged for him to deliver the invitation. Before he came, the Dean and the Headmaster had instructed him to invite Li Dong over no matter what.
Li Dong had brought a lot of benefits to Jiangzhou University in the past few years.
In terms of students, Jiangzhou University could only recruit students from Jiangbei in the past. There were only a few students from other provinces.
But now, students from all over the country were applying to Jiangzhou University.
Just because Li Dong was from Jiangzhou University, plus the scholarship set up by Li Dong, and the talent training base built together with Jiangzhou University …
All these factors made Jiangzhou University rise from the bottom of Project 211 to the middle of the list.
Just one person had improved the status of a university.
It seemed unbelievable, but it was the truth.
Because Li Dong was still a student!
If he had such a career after graduation, Jiangzhou University wouldn't be able to benefit from it.
But now, Li Dong hadn't graduated yet.
But soon. So before Li Dong graduated, Jiangzhou University wanted to maximize Li Dong's influence.
Last year, when Li Dong went to Jiangzhou University, he said he would be a guest speaker at Jiangzhou University before graduation.
The leaders of Jiangzhou University all remembered this. Nowadays, Li Dong lived in seclusion and rarely showed up in front of the media.
He had almost never given a public speech. If they could invite Li Dong, he would attract a lot of attention and attention.
While the teacher and student were chatting, footsteps came from outside the door.
Bai Su stood up immediately. The smile on her face disappeared, and she became serious.
As soon as Li Dong entered the door, Bai Su went up to him and said, "General Manager Li, Ms. Fang is waiting."
Li Dong nodded slightly, while Fang Qingfei, who was behind him, was a little stunned by this change.
She had thought that Bai Su was joking when she said she was scared. Now, it seemed that Bai Su was not lying.
Fang Qingfei felt that she couldn't have done it in the time it took for him to change his expression.
When she thought of the young girl when she first entered the university, Fang Qingfei suddenly felt that she couldn't keep up with the times.
In the university, because of Li Dong, her life was not bad.
There was no suppression, no scheming …
After a few years, Fang Qingfei's mentality didn't change much compared to when she first graduated. The only change was because of Li Dong.
She used to think that she had matured a lot. Now, compared to now, Fang Qingfei felt sad. I can't even compare to a student.
Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. Should I go out and gain some experience?
But teaching students and running errands for the university seemed to be a good job. She didn't want to do it.
Just as her imagination was running wild, Li Dong had already sat down opposite her.
Seeing that her eyes were not focused, Li Dong found it funny. He said, "Old Fang, what are you thinking about? At least give me a reaction!"
Fang Qingfei woke up instantly. Then, she blushed and said, "Sorry, I was distracted."
Li Dong laughed and didn't continue talking about it. Instead, he said, "I received the invitation. I will go later. Thank the university leaders for me."
Fang Qingfei breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "I've finally completed the task."
Li Dong was speechless. Can you not say that in front of me?
