Chapter 1214: Do Whatever You Want
Made a joke.
Li Dong briefly introduced Qi Fangfang, who was following behind Qin Yuhan, and said, "Your school girl, a top student at Peking University, Qi Fangfang."
Qi Fangfang was a little more nervous in front of Li Yanhong than in front of Li Dong. Hearing this, she hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Li, hello."
Qin Yuhan and Qin Yuhan were no strangers to Li Yanhong.
They knew about Li Yanhong a long time ago.
When Li Dong went to the capital, he didn't even think of buying Baidu's stock. It was Qin Yuhan who mentioned that the Ideal International Building was opposite, and there was a legendary brother over there, so Li Dong thought of Baidu.
And just this year, Li Yanhong was also invited to give a speech as a guest at the graduation ceremony of Peking University not long ago.
There are not many students in Peking University who don't know this entrepreneur who has been the most popular in Peking University in recent years.
Moreover, Baidu has always cooperated with Peking University. Some graduates of Peking University will join Baidu every year. Even Qi Fangfang and her classmates will go to Baidu this year.
After Qi Fangfang greeted her, Li Yanhong couldn't help but glanced at her, and then said in surprise, "Are you a graduate of this year?"
Qi Fangfang nodded quickly, and now Li Yanhong couldn't help laughing and said, "I said, why does it look familiar, this year's graduation ceremony, you should be the graduate representative to speak on stage?"
Qi Fangfang was a little flattered and said: "I didn't expect Senior Brother Li to still remember me."
Seeing the two started chatting, Li Dong laughed and said, "Talk about the old days slowly, Yan Hong, you can only flirt with girls in private, why are you so hasty?"
Li Yanhong said helplessly: "I just feel that the world is too small, why did it become so dishonest when it came to your mouth.
By the way, Miss Qin's side..."
Qin Yuhan took the initiative to answer the conversation: "Fangfang and I are classmates, and we are also fresh graduates of Beijing University this year. We have met Senior Brother Li several times."
Li Yanhong couldn't help but joked: "Our Peking University students are the most powerful, even the biggest thorn in the business world can surrender."
Li Dong is too lazy to talk about this, but he still said with a smile: "It's interesting to say that, these years, almost 90% of the students who graduated from Beijing University and entered the business world went to engage in the Internet or related industries.
It stands to reason,
You guys, you should go from literature to politics.
The Internet industry should be handed over to Aoki's students. It's good for you to drill into other people's territory. "
In recent decades, most of the famous entrepreneurs in Beijing University, as Li Dong said, are engaged in Internet-related industries.
Li Yanhong is one, Xu Xiaoping, a well-known investor in the industry, Li Bing, the boss of Bitauto, and Wang Zhidong, the founder of Sina, are one.
Of course, Wang Zhidong, the founder, did not do well. He was kicked out of Sina shortly after Sina's listing by capital institutions.
In addition to these people, there are also the founders of Dangdang, Qunar, the two founders of G Portal, the founder of Jiayuan Century, the founder of Jiufu Finance...
And Wang Junyu, who was dug far away by Li Dong, is currently working on the Internet.
Even New Oriental, where Yu Minhong works, actually has a lot to do with the Internet.
I don’t know about other aspects of Beijing University these years, but in terms of business, it may be influenced by the predecessors. Most graduates, the first choice to start a business is an industry related to the Internet industry.
Now, these Beijing University students are all-powerful in the Internet industry, which makes Aoki lose a lot of color.
Li Yanhong laughed and said, "No one stipulates that students from Beijing University cannot be in business. What's more, students from Peking University can be the best in any industry."
"Since Yuhan is a graduate of Peking University, I won't bother to hit you."
Li Dong smiled, looked at the time again and said, "What shall we say next?
Should we talk directly, or change the time? "
Li Yanhong glanced at Qin Yuhan and the two, hesitated slightly, and asked, "Is it convenient?"
"It's nothing inconvenient, and it's not a big deal. We've talked about it before. According to me, it doesn't matter if you come or not. Fax a contract and I'll just sign it."
Li Dong didn't take it seriously, Li Yanhong was used to his style now, so he didn't bother to argue.
Not a big deal?
Millions of shares of Baidu stock are traded, according to the current market, a transaction of more than one billion US dollars is nearly RMB!
This guy has a scary tone, just fax a contract?
Li Yanhong didn't want to say anything, and sighed: "If it's convenient, go to the hotel I booked and sit for a while.
I've been quite busy recently, running both at home and abroad. On your side, I managed to find time to come here.
The sooner it's resolved, the more at ease I'll be. Being missed by you, I always feel like a stick in my throat, and my heart is not at ease. "
This statement is half true and half false, anyway, Li Yanhong is indeed a little afraid.
It doesn't matter if the transaction with others is delayed, but with Li Dong, it's best to settle the matter as soon as possible.
In order to avoid any trouble in the end.
Seeing that he was in a hurry, Li Dong himself was too lazy to spend his energy entertaining Li Yanhong every day, he nodded and said: "Okay, let's make a quick decision, after signing the contract, let's have lunch together, I treat guests, and then we will break up. "
"I……"
Li Yanhong was a little annoyed and said, "I'm going to check Weibo, do you need to be so realistic?"
"Fuck you, anyway, I don't have time to entertain you recently.
By the way, will you go to the annual meeting of entrepreneurs? "
"Go, you go too?"
"Well, let's talk about it then.
The payment of the license plate has to be implemented as soon as possible. I said you guys, can you do something, if you don't, don't blame me for clearing the field!
I will talk about it myself, and at most talk about the formalization of us and Alipay. Fortune Tong and Baifubao are not in the ranks of our negotiations.
Don't just think about picking up cheap things, if there are so many cheap things to pick up in the world, how could it be your turn? "
Li Yanhong frowned and said, "Don't make it seem like you're the only one contributing, I've been to the city hall several times recently to discuss this matter.
But it hasn't been long since the last Internet conference, so it's not going to be settled so quickly.
At the earliest, I think it will be next year. "
Li Dong shook his head and said: "It will be late next year, we have to open it as soon as possible.
The G license will be issued at the end of this year. I mean, it is best to finalize the payment license at this time.
If we have to delay this year, we have to prepare for the Spring Festival next, and after the Spring Festival, we have to make some preparations, and then come down, or we will get May and June.
I heard that the discussion on this matter is almost done, and there is no point in procrastinating now.
The foundation of the Internet payment system has been laid. At this time, in addition to legalization, regularization, and government guidance and supervision, what else can we do?
Could it be that, at present, the banning of Internet payment is impossible?
What should be decided should be made as soon as possible. The central bank and the China Banking Regulatory Commission should work together to promote it. It is not a big problem. "
Li Yanhong glanced at him, and said after a while: "You have a big move at the end of the year?"
There is no big move, and there is no need to be so anxious. For them, so many years have passed, so what if it is a year or so late.
In the current situation, it will be a matter of time before the Internet payment system is formalized.
Even Ma Yun wasn't in such a hurry anymore, but Li Dong kept hurrying up.
Li Dong said indifferently: "It has nothing to do with you, and I haven't thought of grabbing your business yet."
"Then snatch who?" Li Yanhong said subconsciously.
Then I realized that I was asking for nothing. Apart from Ali and Tencent, Li Dong has no business to grab now.
Li Dong didn't answer him either, and when he got to the motorcade, Li Dong smiled and said, "Are we in the same car?"
Li Yanhong looked at Qin Yuhan, and after a while she laughed and said, "You just say so if you don't want to ride with me, do you think I do?
Li Dong, I have been in business for many years, and I have never seen you like this. "
Li Dong smiled and said: "What do you mean you haven't seen me like this, and I don't care about you?
Besides, why do we two men have to ride in the same car?
Qi Fangfang, chat slowly with your old senior, and Yuhan and I are in the same car. "
It was rare for Qi Fangfang not to refute, but a little excited.
Li Yanhong is the object of admiration of many Peking University students, and it is difficult for them to find such an opportunity to chat alone.
Li Yanhong has too many things to do, so how can she have time to chat with them.
Now Li Dong let her share the car with Li Yanhong, which made her a little grateful. Li Dong is really quite capable.
Li Yanhong smiled lightly, but did not refuse.
As Li Dong said, the two elders have nothing to talk about except business.
Sharing a car with a beautiful woman, even if it's just a casual chat, will make you feel happier.
...
in the car.
Qin Yuhan couldn't help but asked, "Is it appropriate for us to go together?"
"There's nothing inappropriate, it's not a big deal, we've talked about it in general, and now it's just a matter of signing the contract.
It's only a matter of time, and by the way, I will let you see what these entrepreneurs who are bright in front of outsiders are like behind the scenes.
Just wait and see, it's not uncommon for Li Yanhong to lift the table later, but he's not as calm and calm as you imagined. "
When Li Dong said this, Qin Yuhan couldn't help being surprised and said, "No way? Why did you lift the table?"
Li Dong smiled and said: "Yes, because I am not going to give money."
Qin Yuhan's face was full of bewilderment, what do you mean?
...
Qin Yuhan soon knew what Li Dong meant.
When they arrived at the hotel, both Li Yanhong and Li Dong went straight to the hotel's small conference room, without further politeness.
Once seated, Li Yanhong said: "10,000 common shares, each priced in US dollars, the total price is 100 million US dollars, because there is a difference between the market price and the market price, according to the relevant regulations of the United States, a certain tax needs to be paid, which is about US dollars..."
Li Dong said unhappily: "I have to pay taxes before I buy this, why didn't I know there was such a regulation?
For hundreds of thousands of dollars, don't you have any way to exempt from tax?
I'm ashamed to mention this little money to me, 100 million U.S. dollars is exactly the same amount, and there are some odds and ends, is it interesting? "
The corners of Li Yanhong's mouth twitched, and he said after a while: "Okay, let's count it as 100 million, and you can look at the contract yourself.
However, it is not yet possible to go through the transfer procedures and have to wait a few days. "
"Can."
Li Dong didn't say much, took a glance at the contract, and then handed the contract to the staff around him.
The staff looked at it for a while, and it took about half an hour before they nodded and said, "Mr. Li, you can sign."
When Li Dong heard this, he was not in a hurry, but said: "100 million US dollars, I can't get it out now, why don't you give me a discount, such a large amount of business, a discount is also appropriate..."
"Li Dong!"
Li Yanhong looked annoyed, are you sure you didn't tease me?
Qin Yuhan and Qi Fangfang, who were listening on the sidelines, were already dumbfounded. They didn't know what they were talking about before.
Li Dong didn't take it seriously at the time, and the two thought it was a small business.
But now, the two of them finally understood, can a transaction worth hundreds of millions of dollars be called a small business?
Well, what I said before is Li Dong's pretense.
But now it's good, Li Dong actually asked Li Yanhong to give him a discount, even Qin Yuhan blushed a little.
Li Yanhong yelled, then suppressed his anger, frowned and said, "Dollar, you have made a lot of money.
After the Nasdaq opened yesterday, the stock price closed at the US dollar!
Just now, you have made tens of thousands of dollars, what else do you want? "
Li Dongtian said shamelessly: "That's because of me. Look, Baidu's market value has increased by hundreds of millions of dollars yesterday. You have made a lot of money. You can't even give me a discount. Are you too stingy?"
"This is not my personal resolution, but the resolution of the general meeting of shareholders and the board of directors!"
"Forget it, look at your stinginess."
Li Dong didn't continue to provoke him, and said: "Then there is no discount, can I pay in installments?
Once the depositary receipts are in hand, I will send you US dollars first, and pay the rest within one year..."
Li Yanhong frowned and said, "Li Dong, don't be joking. To be honest, I can trust you, but Baidu is a listed company. The stock this time is not my own, but a joint stockholders' meeting.
And stock trading, there is no reason for installments, aren't you making me happy? "
Li Dong said helplessly: "Why am I teasing you, seriously, I really have no money at the moment.
I owe it first, why don't you help me pay in advance?
In the future, you can calculate the interest with me, and you don’t want to make a deal about whether it is listed or not. Who will go to your company to check the amount of cash?
I didn't ask you to waive it directly, and it was credited, but the money was not in place for the time being.
The flow of hundreds of millions of funds is not normal. It's not that I have never dealt with listed companies, and I have never heard of anyone who will be credited at once. "
"I……"
Li Yanhong was so angry, could this be the same?
This is a stock transaction, not a financing, nor a business, so where is the installment!
If you don’t have enough money, then you should order less. Since you want it, it’s just a joke to say you don’t have any money.
Besides, you guys will be short of this money?
Li Yanhong doesn't believe this, whoever believes is stupid!
Next, the two were no different from small vendors in the vegetable market, and began to bargain.
After dozens of minutes, the plan was finalized.
Li Dong pays in US dollars first, and settles the rest within three months. Otherwise, Baidu has the right to take back the remaining common shares.
Li Yanhong wanted to say, just forget about it.
In the end, Li Dong was unwilling to live and die, and he was also irritated by Li Dong. In addition, it was only three months, and he could still afford to wait. In the end, Li Yanhong was too lazy to continue doing such shameful things with him.
Didn't you see that everyone else was dumbfounded? If you continue to do it, you will lose your face.
Once the plan was confirmed, both of them returned to normal.
The transaction was successfully concluded, except that Li Dong was a bit shameless in the middle, the rest went extremely smoothly, and a transaction worth hundreds of millions was announced to be completed.
And after talking about things, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon.
We had lunch together at the hotel, Li Dong said some polite words, and then left quickly with the people, Li Yanhong was extremely helpless.
This guy is really not polite.
They all said that they were going to Weibo to check it out, but they didn't even make any arrangements. They really didn't treat themselves as guests.
...
out of the hotel.
Qi Fangfang couldn't help but said, "Li Dong, do you do this every time you talk about business?"
Li Dong said with a half-smile: "What kind? What do you mean?"
Qi Fangfang pondered for a long time before concluding in one word: "It's too casual."
Li Dong smiled and said, "Is it strange?
It's not some difficult business, it's just stock trading, the price has been negotiated, it's normal to be casual.
In fact, except for some issues involving details, otherwise, it is commonplace for us to talk casually.
Moreover, both Li Yanhong and I have autonomy, and it doesn't matter if two people with autonomy talk about things together.
If someone else comes, you have to ask for instructions and go back to discuss.
We directly omitted this step, so naturally it is not so much trouble. "
Li Dong briefly explained a few words, and then said: "Okay, it's useless for you to know so much, anyway, you can't reach Brother Dong and me.
By the way, do you want to take a taxi, or do you want me to send you?
Or just open a room in the hotel, Yuhan doesn't have time to entertain you these days, so feel free to do it yourself. "
Qi Fangfang's face was full of black lines, this guy is so frightening!
Qin Yuhan also couldn't help laughing and said: "Li Dong, stop teasing her, Fangfang and I will go back together.
For the past few days, let Fangfang live with me, at Jinhu Garden. "
"That won't work, with such a big light bulb, how can we enjoy the world of two.
How about this, I have a villa in Lanshan, the house in Jinhu Garden is too small, Qi Fangfang, send you to live in a villa, am I good enough for you?
The environment there is not good enough, and if there are a lot of rich people, you might even meet your wealthy son-in-law. "
Qi Fangfang rolled her eyes, and said angrily: "It doesn't matter how straightforward it is to drive someone away. You can keep that villa for yourself. I'll stay in the hotel by myself. Remember to reimburse me!"
"Succeed, for the sake of your sense of humor, you can book Pingchuan Hotel as you like, and you will be reimbursed." Li Dong said with a smile.
Qi Fangfang was speechless, and talked with Qin Yuhan for a while before going to book a hotel by herself.
After Qi Fangfang left, Qin Yuhan said in a low voice: "Do you have something to say to me?"
If it weren't for this, Li Dong didn't have to drive Qi Fangfang away.
Of course, Qin Yuhan didn't say anything because he felt this meaning, and Qi Fangfang also tactfully flashed her way.
Li Dong said with a smile: "There is something, but there is no rush.
I just happened to be idle these few days, let's go around, the few times you came back, I didn't have much time to accompany you.
Let's have fun for a few days this time, and talk about other things later. "
Qin Yuhan stared at him for a while, finally nodded and said: "Okay!"
