Chapter 1162 Everything Is Changing
Li Dong and Qin Yuhan chatted while eating.
On TV, entertainment news is being broadcast.
Maybe it's for the sake of popularity, maybe it's time for the announcement, and the entertainment reporter is interviewing Hurun at the moment.
The 2008 Hurun Report was officially released on the day after tomorrow, which is the 4th, at 9:00 am on Saturday.
The reporter asked Li Dong by the way, and Hu Run mysteriously said that he would know when the time came, which whetted everyone's appetite.
After listening to a few words, Qin Yuhan couldn't help laughing and said, "Could there be a dark horse this year?"
Li Dong's position as the richest man is relatively safe.
The specific wealth, because Yuanfang is not a listed company, is temporarily unknown.
But judging from the statistics of the past few months, no one who has been known to be rich in the country can surpass Li Dong.
Last year, Yang Huiyan, who had a fortune of 130 billion yuan, is not bad if she can keep a fraction as the stock price of Country Garden fell into the abyss this year.
Others, for the time being, it seems that no one suddenly exploded.
With the expansion of the financial crisis, the wealth of most rich people has begun to shrink, especially for listed companies.
Hu Runnong is mysterious and mysterious, Qin Yuhan is naturally curious as to whether there will be a dark horse appearing.
Li Dong didn't raise his head, and said indifferently: "It's just a marketing method.
Do you think this foreigner is really idle and has nothing to do, so I can get you a ranking list?
The more people pay attention, the more money he will naturally make, using me as a gimmick.
I don't bother to bother him, otherwise, he can't afford to go around if he finds an excuse.
Sometimes, this guy makes up numbers and gets annoying.
I'm too transparent now, let them say whatever they want, and replace it with someone who doesn't want to be exposed. If he dared to do this, he would have been sent back to his hometown for the elderly. "
At Li Dong's level, he really doesn't care if the list is exposed or not.
The Hurun List, known as the "Pig Killing List", only kills the guys at the back. Except for the accident of Lao Huang, whoever is in the top ten is not alive.
Li Dong doesn't care much about these things.
Qin Yuhan was quite interested.
There is an uproar in the outside world. Some people say that Li Dong's wealth has already exceeded 100 billion, some say trillions, and some even talk about it. East China's economy is controlled by Li Dong alone, and the wealth is incomparable.
Some words can't be taken seriously, just listen to them casually.
However, some people speculated that Li Dong's net worth should be hundreds of billions, and they made a rough statistic.
Qin Yuhan likes to surf the Internet even when she has nothing to do, and often sees these remarks.
Just talking about this, Qin Yuhan couldn't help but asked a little curiously: "Li Dong, how much money do you have now?"
"have no idea."
Li Dong shrugged and said helplessly: "Now it's changing every day, it's not that I really don't care about money, the key is that some things are starting to shrink.
Dongyu Real Estate, compared with last year, may have shrunk by more than 5 billion.
Some fixed industries in the distance have also shrunk to a certain extent.
Of course, in general, I am still clear. Anyway, the things are here, so I don’t bother to think about them.
In the past two years, I used to do calculations on that piece of paper every now and then to see how much money I had. As a result, now that I have more money, I have no intention of doing calculations. "
Qin Yuhan burst out laughing, if someone else said this, it would be an act of coercion.
But she really believed what Li Dong said.
When the money was not much, Li Dong liked to do the math often, but now, to be honest, with a few billion up and down, Li Dong might not be able to make any waves.
On Dongyu's side, land prices have plummeted recently, and Li Dong's wealth has shrunk a lot.
Even Wu Shengnan was running around in a hurry, but Li Dong didn't care about it, and many people admired him.
Of course, Li Dong ignored it because he had the confidence to tell others.
Now that his wealth has shrunk a little, he doesn't care too much.
Wait a year or two, Guang Dongyu's side, he can make a lot of money.
The entertainment news was still being broadcast, but Li Dong lost interest, and instead said, "Dongyu Dessert House, how many branches have you opened now?"
"Not many, there are a total of 8 in Beijing, 3 in Pingchuan, and 2 in Minghu, so there are 13 in total.
I plan to open 20 stores by the end of the year, so I will suspend the first phase of expansion. "
Qin Yuhan doesn't have as much capital as Li Dong, and he doesn't have as much courage as him. As far as the plan of 20 stores is concerned, he is actually quite nervous.
Li Dong thought for a while and said, "I heard that you want to open a store in Shanghai?"
"Well, Jiangbei is actually not suitable for the development of dessert houses.
I visited the Shanghai stock market last time, and it is more suitable for Dongyu. For the remaining 7 stores, I plan to open 3-5 stores in the Shanghai stock market. "
"Running here and there, it's not cost-effective to set up these dessert houses." Li Dong sighed.
Seeing that Qin Yuhan was silent, Li Dong had no choice but to say: "It's fine if you like it yourself, but if you can leave it to others, let others take care of it. Don't put so much pressure on yourself."
He's not really stupid, Qin Yuhan's wholeheartedly want to expand the business, and even make it into a national chain, because he knows why.
But to put it bluntly, even if Dongyu Dessert House becomes a nationwide chain with thousands of stores, so what?
Qin Yuhan has not passed the hurdle in his heart, and Li Dong's persuasion is in vain.
...
Friday, October 3rd.
Li Dong has an appointment.
Today is the first day of the official launch of "Where Are We Going, Dad?" At 8 pm, this variety show will be the first to be recorded on PP video.
As for the broadcast on the stars, it has to be postponed for a while.
Hu Xiaorui called Li Dong early in the morning, saying that Dongxing was going to hold an entertainment press conference and asked Li Dong to join him.
This is Hu Xiaorui. If you change people or companies, you might not dare to call Li Dong.
When your first program is launched, it would be great if you could invite Bai Feng, the president of Yuanfang Interactive Entertainment Business Group, to participate. It's amazing, Liu Hong made a big appearance in the past.
Most people probably wouldn't even dare to ask Li Dong to come over and support him in person.
But Hu Xiaorui is not an ordinary person, she called for help and threatened, Li Dong had no choice but to go.
...
When Li Dong rushed to the press conference site.
I thought I would say a few more words to help create momentum, but he was stopped by Hu Xiaorui as soon as he arrived.
Without even giving Li Dong a chance to get off the car, Hu Xiaorui got into his car directly, and said with a smile, "Let's go, where are we going?"
Li Dong looked out of the car window with a confused face, and said after a while, "Didn't you say the press conference?"
"Yes, but there are directors, celebrities, and the director of your distant video at the press conference, so we have nothing to do."
"and you……"
"It's boring to be idle, I finally got to the National Day, and I'm going to rest for a few days, and you're not here.
I think you've been fine recently, so I called you out to relax, do you have to thank me? "Hu Xiaorui was overjoyed, and naturally began to claim credit.
Li Dong was speechless!
Am I free?
I have too many things to do now, so I don't have time to spare.
Even if you are really idle, it would be nice to sleep a little longer in the early morning, thanks to the fact that I got up early in the morning.
Speechless, speechless, everyone is here, what else can I say.
Seeing Hu Xiaorui jumping for joy, Li Dong breathed out and said, "Tell me, where are you going?
It was agreed in advance that we will not go to the bar, it will be early in the morning.
If you don't go to the game hall, what kind of games are you playing as a girl?
If I go shopping, I don’t go for more than an hour, I am too famous, I am afraid of being surrounded by people..."
Hu Xiaorui was overjoyed, because he was so famous that he was afraid of onlookers, so he was lazy.
But she didn't plan to go shopping, before Li Dong finished speaking, Hu Xiaorui said with a smile: "I know, I know, I didn't say to go to those places, but to the Jinding Club.
Two days ago, Ji Lanxin called me and said that their club had transported some racehorses from Xiangjiang.
Let's go horseback riding today, what do you think? "
"Horse racing?" Li Dong was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Ji Lanxin is really focusing on the club now, just Jinding, can you play horse racing?"
"I heard that Ji Lanxin has taken down several pieces of land next to the club, and plans to expand it.
Just try it now, after two years when the expansion is completed, maybe we will be able to watch Marseilles in Jiangbei. "
Hu Xiaorui just joined in the fun, but didn't think much about it.
But Li Dong frowned slightly. The investment in horse racing is not a small amount.
And if you want to make money, the fastest way to get money back is naturally to open the horse racing project.
This thing is legal in Xiangjiang, but not in the mainland.
Ji Lanxin is doing this now, don't you want to bet on horses?
If this is the case, the Golden Tripod Club will change a bit. Nowadays, women are getting more courageous than each other. Maybe Ji Lanxin really has such a plan.
The guests of the Jinding Club are now the top figures in Jiangbei, and even some wealthy businessmen and celebrities from other places almost always go to the Jinding Club when they come to Jiangbei.
Ji Lanxin wanted to set up a private jet club for a while, but the investment was too big and she gave up. Only the really high-end people can enjoy that thing.
Now that she wants to play Marseille again, this woman has a smart enough mind, the key is not to make the Golden Tripod Club a gambling den in the end.
With some doubts, Li Dong asked Tan Yong to drive to Jinding Club.
...
Jinding Club.
Ji Lanxin separated a part of the golf course as a racetrack. The space is a bit small, but it is enough for the time being.
There is no professional horse racing track, and the conditions are a bit rough, but for those inland people in Jiangbei, horse racing is a new thing to play.
It's not that there are no horses in Jiangbei, but they are all bad horses. They are usually used in zoos or amusement places for tourists to take pictures.
There is currently no real horse racing, or a more formal equestrian club in Jiangbei.
When Li Dong and Hu Xiaorui arrived, there were already guests at the racetrack.
Li Dong saw Xu Shengzhe and his wife at a glance. Xu Shengzhe was carefully riding around in circles with the help of his rider.
Ji Lanxin watched from the outside, and there were a few guests standing beside her pointing at the horses in the racecourse.
As soon as Li Dong arrived, Ji Lanxin quickly spotted him.
Seeing Hu Xiaorui and Li Dong coming, Ji Lanxin hurriedly greeted her and said with a smile on her face, "Li Dong, Xiaorui, you are here."
Li Dong nodded slightly, while Hu Xiaorui said excitedly: "Sister Lan Xin, are these just a few horses? Are they pure-blooded? Can I ride them now? Is there any competition?"
She asked a few questions in a row, Ji Lanxin smiled and said: "There is no competition for the time being, and it is not a thoroughbred, but the pedigree is not bad.
If you want to ride, I'll let someone take you in, but these horses are still adapting to the environment, a little restless, so you have to be careful. "
"Then get someone to take me in and prepare two horses for us..."
Before she finished speaking, Li Dong waved his hand and said: "I can't, you better not ride a horse, didn't you hear what Lan Xin said? If you have a bad temper, it will be bad if you fall."
Hu Xiaorui looked at Xu Shengzhe in the racecourse, and muttered, "Isn't the treacherous minister all right?"
"He's used to it, and it's not the first time he's done a deadly thing. Don't learn from him."
Hu Xiaorui was a little disappointed, Ji Lanxin quickly smiled and said: "Li Dong, I have a mare with a relatively peaceful temperament, why don't you let Xiaorui try it?"
Li Dong looked at Hu Xiaorui, and said after a while: "Then go in after taking safety measures, don't make a fuss, it's not good if you startle the horse."
"What about you?" Hu Xiaorui asked quickly.
"I'm not going, just take a look and talk to Lan Xin by the way."
"Alright then." Although Hu Xiaorui wanted to ride horses with Li Dong, Li Dong didn't want to, and she didn't force Li Dong to participate.
Besides, if there is going to be some trouble, Li Dong's side is much more troublesome than her.
The people from the club took Hu Xiaorui to change equipment, but Li Dong didn't follow, chatting with Ji Lanxin from the side, "Are you going to play casually, or play big?"
Ji Lanxin smiled and said, "Let's take a look for now, Jiangbei may not be suitable for a horse racing venue.
The club still has too few events and lacks some stimulating sports. Many people complain about the lack of events after coming several times.
The last time I went to Xiangjiang for inspection, I thought horse racing was a good activity, so I brought in a few horses through my relationship. "
"Horse racing doesn't matter, it's also good to have an equestrian club, everyone can enjoy it.
The point is, don't race horses and end up betting on horses. "
Li Dong reminded her a little bit, but Ji Lanxin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Jin Ding will not participate in these matters."
However, Li Dong heard the voice-over. Jin Ding didn't participate, but it didn't mean there was no such thing.
Chinese people have always been curious and obsessed with gambling.
Betting on horses used to be possible only in Xiangjiang or Macau. If you really want to get one in Jiangbei, I am afraid it will attract many rich people to participate.
Once this is the case, the funds involved may be indispensable.
Li Dong glanced at Ji Lanxin from the corner of his eye, but said nothing.
After chatting casually, Hu Xiaorui over there had changed into a knight uniform, wearing riding boots, and came over with a helmet on.
After changing the suit, Hu Xiaorui looked majestic and a little more heroic.
While waving the rein in his hand, Hu Xiaorui said happily: "Li Dong, why don't you try it?"
"I'm not going, don't play around, be careful." Li Dong warned.
Hu Xiaorui smiled and said: "Don't worry, I used to ride in the capital, it's okay, then I'll go first."
The two said a few words, and Hu Xiaorui entered the racecourse with the rider.
As a result, she had just entered when Xu Shengzhe, who was riding, saw her, without saying a word, threw the rein of the horse, got off the horse, turned around and walked out.
Li Dong couldn't hold back for a moment, and almost burst out laughing.
After a while, Xu Shengzhe came over with a sullen face, and complained: "Why is this stinky girl here?"
Li Dong laughed and said, "She can't come when you come? Why are you afraid of her?"
Xu Shengzhe said angrily: "I'm afraid of her? I'm afraid she will go crazy!
This damn girl has never done anything good.
She dared to bump into me while driving, and insisted on drag racing with me. Several of my collector's cars were turned into scrap iron by her.
If this is hit by her riding a horse, how can I reason. "
"Isn't it?" Li Dong didn't believe it, he really didn't know about it.
Xu Shengzhe scolded: "You know what a fart, it's not enough, everyone in Jiangbei doesn't know about this.
It's just you, like an idiot, who doesn't know anything except the distance.
I'm too lazy to argue with her. If I change a man, I'll beat him so long ago that his parents don't know each other anymore. "
The two sat down and chatted for a while, and Bai Yueqin who was next to him chatted with Ji Lanxin.
Li Dong glanced over there, then looked at Hu Xiaorui who was cheering in the field, and lowered his voice slightly, "What's wrong with Ji Lanxin?
If you don’t do serious business, do you have to do this? "
"Don't mention it." Xu Shengzhe shook his head and said: "I don't know why she thought of this, it may be that Jinding's business is not doing well recently, and she wants to win over more people.
I persuaded a few words, but it didn't help much.
But it's fine if she doesn't participate..."
"Is it possible?" Li Dong snorted and said, "Even if she doesn't participate, if she really wants to be held accountable, she won't be able to escape responsibility.
Jinding's business is not easy to do, and it's not her family. Who can do business now?
I think if you do this, something will happen sooner or later.
Marseilles is really about to start, I won't come here in the future, you can decide for yourself.
By the way, turn around and take down the Lanshan clubhouse, renovate it, and go to the Lanshan clubhouse for the next meeting. "
"OK."
Xu Shengzhe didn't say anything, and readily agreed.
But after thinking about it, he sighed: "This Jiangbei, the changes are getting bigger and bigger now.
I think the acquaintances I used to know at the beginning have changed now.
Chen Rui fell, Zhang Lanyu ran away, Jia Wenhao was going to leave soon, and there was no one in sight for Shen Qian.
Even Hu Xiaorui stayed in Dongxing all day long.
Originally, Ji Lanxin's side was the only one that hadn't changed much in the past few years, but now it seems that it has also changed. "
"It's normal, everything is changing. You used to be a playboy brother, but now you are also the chairman of Jackie Chan."
Li Dong didn't take it seriously, and said: "Ji Lanxin is interested in you, so please persuade if you can. Why bother with this thing, make yourself guilty."
"Keep your voice down!"
Xu Shengzhe quickly pressed his hands, turned his head to look at Bai Yueqin who was not far away, then heaved a sigh of relief and complained: "Are you torturing me on purpose?"
"You're timid, afraid to go home and kneel on the washboard?"
"Fuck you, I don't have a washboard in my house, kneel down!"
Xu Shengzhe scolded, instead of chatting with Li Dong, he changed the subject and said, "I happened to meet here, and I was going to talk to you about something."
"What's up?"
"Isn't this all about diversification recently? Real estate companies like Vanke, Evergrande, and Wanda have all started to enter other industries.
Longhua bought Yurun's tourism real estate project last year...
I pondered for a while, what do you think about Longhua being a Longhua hotel project? "
"hotel?"
Li Dong raised his eyebrows slightly, and said after a while, "Why did you suddenly think of this?"
"Don't you have a distant city? I was thinking..."
"Go away, no way!"
Li Dongna was not polite to him at all, and refused without saying a word.
Xu Shengzhe's old face suddenly darkened, and he said angrily: "I haven't finished talking yet? Why can't I give you a chance?"
"Don't think about it, I'm afraid that the Yuanfang City project will fall into your hands, where can I justify it?"
Li Dong shook his head, real estate companies engaged in hotel management, and now it has almost become a recognized model.
But Longhua didn't have this experience, so he directly wanted to settle in Yuanfang City. Li Dong didn't want to use Yuanfang City as Longhua's test site.
So much has been invested in the Yuanfang City project, if something goes wrong because of this, Li Dong won't be able to cry.
Although he knew that he was likely to be rejected, Li Dong refused so quickly, which still made Xu Shengzhe very angry.
He didn't talk to Li Dong anymore, and he didn't have time to chat with Li Dong. This guy turned his back on him so quickly, he turned around and went to find his wife.
Li Dong didn't care either. He smiled and turned his gaze to the center of the racecourse again.
