Chapter 1229 Thick-Skinned
On December 6, the 7th Annual Conference of Huaxia Business Leaders was jointly organized by Huaxia Entrepreneur Magazine and Huaxia Entrepreneur Club.
The Huaxia Entrepreneur Club can be said to be the largest business district in China at present.
Almost all leaders in various industries in China have joined the association.
Unlike the Jiangnan Association formed by Ma Yun and the others, the Jiangbei Mutual Aid Association established by Li Dong...
These associations all have regional limitations.
Only the Entrepreneur Club has no geographical limitations. Almost all industry leaders who meet the standards will be invited.
Of course, not everyone can get in.
Even Li Dong joined the Huaxia Alumni Association last year, and was introduced by Liu Chuanzhi and others before joining.
If the Entrepreneur Magazine held the annual meeting alone, there may not be many giants to attend, but the club calls, and more business leaders will come.
...
Beijing Hotel.
When Li Dong's car stopped, the front of the Jingcheng Hotel was unusually lively.
From far away, Li Dong heard Guo Guangchang's laughter.
Before he approached, Li Dong heard Guo Guangchang laugh loudly: "No more gossip, once you report it later, there will be no place for me in Huaxia.
Li Dong has a lot of gossip, so don't ask me alone.
Lao Liu and the others all knew about it, but they all held back and pushed me out alone as a shield.
As far as Li Dong's temper is concerned, if he knows what I'm talking about, he can't ask me to practice alone, so please forgive me. "
"Mr. Guo, you've said everything, you've said one thing, you've said two things, why don't you say more?"
"I really can't say, I have to go in, if I don't go in, I will be blocked later..."
Before Guo Guangchang finished speaking, he heard someone shout: "President Li is here!"
Guo Guangchang stretched out his head to look, and hurriedly said: "I'll go in first, don't tell me what I said later..."
Guo Guangchang was about to dodge, but Li Dong who was not far away laughed and said: "Old Guo, why did you run away when you saw me, and what did you do wrong?"
"Who ran away?"
Guo Guangchang stopped in his tracks, and said with a helpless smile, "I can do anything wrong, but I just don't want to be with you, every time I am with you, I become a foil.
You ask, how many of Lao Liu and the others are willing to walk with you? "
Li Dong smiled while posing for the reporter, "Now is the age of looking at faces, you can't blame me.
He's handsome but also worried, look, when I come, the big guy insists on taking pictures of me, what can I do?
Lao Guo, I heard it just now, you said bad things about me, when did you break your mouth like Ma Yun? "
Li Dong made a joke, and the reporters all laughed.
Guo Guangchang also laughed and said: "You still use us to talk about it, you have to admit what you did.
Just now Lao Zhu went in first, and before he went in, he cried and told you that you scolded him at the party, not to mention how sad he was.
I didn't hear it anymore, so I just said something casually, you just asked Ma Yun to practice solo yesterday,
Your enemies are all over the world, and you still care about me. "
Li Dong burst out laughing. Seeing that Li Dong was in a good mood, the reporters immediately asked, "Mr. Li, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Guo, are they telling the truth?"
Li Dong said with a smile: "Half-truth, half-false, it is true to call old Zhu about fighting old horses, but it can be said that I have enemies all over the world, it is Guangchang's intention to blackmail me.
I have many friends. If you don’t believe me, ask Lao Guo, are we friends or enemies?
If he dares to say that he is an enemy, I will practice solo with him now, and you all will be witnesses! "
Everyone couldn't help laughing, just about to ask a few more questions, Li Dong looked at the time and said: "I won't talk to the big guys anymore, I'll go up first, lest I be late and someone spread rumors with their mouths.
I'm not afraid to tell you that there are a lot of big mouths in the business world.
Those weird-looking guys with the biggest mouths don't need to tell you their names, you'll know them when you see them. "
Li Dong smiled and left a word, and walked towards the hall.
When passing by Guo Guangchang, Li Dong laughed again: "What's the matter, don't leave yet, are you going to continue to expose my scandal?"
Guo Guangchang laughed and said: "Forget it, I'm afraid you will beat me in public, you are the only one of us who can do this."
"Don't hate me, let's go, where is the old horse?"
Li Dong asked while walking, Guo Guangchang walked side by side with him, and said with a smile: "I went in the morning, you said he was spreading rumors, I don't think you wronged him."
After teasing Li Dong and Ma Yun, Guo Guangchang said again: "Speaking of which, you have nothing to scold Lao Zhu for what to do.
Seeing Lao Zhu like that, I'm afraid I've been muttering in my heart for the past few days, because I just looked a little restless down here. "
Li Dong said angrily: "Who scolded him?
If he wants to sell Huiyuan or sell it to foreign capital, I can't bear it after a few words?
It's his right to sell, it's my right to be upset, Lao Zhu wasn't so narrow-minded before, but now he's more narrow-minded! "
Guo Guangchang sighed softly: "Everyone has their own difficulties, and Lao Zhu's life is not easy.
This year's market is not so good, Huiyuan's funds are a little tight, and Lao Zhu is focusing on the upstream, buying orchards and bases everywhere.
Seeing that there is not much money, and the market competition is becoming more and more fierce..."
Guo Guangchang helped and said a few words, Li Dong said disapprovingly: "Who didn't come here like this, and it's not just his family.
forget it, say this
These are boring.
As I said, it is his right to sell it. Besides, he can’t sell it. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see. The more you struggle, the worse you will be. "
Seeing this, Guo Guangchang stopped talking about it, and they walked upstairs together.
...
conference hall.
When Li Dong and the others arrived, many people had already arrived.
The acquaintances who had dinner a few days ago were all there, and Ma Yun, Li Yanhong, Ma Huateng, Zhang Chaoyang, Ding Lei, Cao Hongwei...these giants were also there.
In addition to these bigwigs in the Internet industry, Li Dong also saw Wu Yajun, Wang Shi, Pan Shiyi, Wanda Pharaoh... these giants in the real estate industry.
In addition, there are some giants who Li Dong has never met, but whose names he has heard of.
New Hope's Liu Yonghao, Google's global vice president Li Kaifu, Google's global vice president Wang Yang...
These people are barely considered private entrepreneurs, and a group of people from state-owned enterprises have also come.
Jiang Jianqing, chairman of gōng háng, Ma Weihua, president of China Merchants Bank, Fu Chengyu of CNOOC...
It can be said that when a bomb explodes at this time, most of the Chinese business community will be wiped out!
With so many CEOs added together, the assets represented by the company definitely exceed trillions!
And many people are the soul of the company. Once they have an accident, it is not the same concept as ordinary executives. Without these people, the operation of the enterprise will be a big problem.
Although there are many giants, even though some companies are even much stronger than Yuanfang.
However, when Li Dong came, these people still couldn't cover Li Dong's light.
As soon as he and Guo Guangchang came in, many people laughed and said, "Li Dong is here!"
"Dongzi, I'm just waiting for your finale."
"Dongzi, come on stage and say a few words later? Who are you going to fight tonight, let's help you fight together!"
"Old Ma and the others gathered together to speak ill of you. I persuaded you a few times, but no one listened. How shameless!"
"..."
Everyone greeted each other, joking and joking, and all of a sudden, the originally large and small circles instantly became with Li Dong as the core.
It's not that Li Dong's prestige has really reached this point.
Some bigwigs present are not weaker than Li Dong, and have been operating in the business world longer than Li Dong.
But in recent years, Li Dong almost represents the rise of a new class.
Li Dong is a well-deserved leader of the new class, and almost all young and middle-aged entrepreneurs are headed by Li Dong.
In addition, this guy is daring to speak and act. Although he has many enemies, there are many who admire him.
This is the case in any industry, the strong are respected.
Li Dong may not be the strongest, but he has too much power to speak in the distance, and his execution ability is also frighteningly high.
If you don't agree with each other, this guy will start a war with you. Even if you don't flatter, there is no need to offend, it's not worthwhile.
Selling face is not a loss, so everyone is naturally more polite.
...
And just when Li Dong greeted the giants.
Among the crowd, Cheng Gang slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "It's only been a few years, and this is it?"
To be honest, even he didn't expect that Li Dong would have such prestige.
There are too many business leaders present. On their own one-acre three-point land, no one is high and powerful, and they say what they say.
He originally thought that although Li Dong had risen rapidly, he was still a junior in the business world, so he might not have much influence.
But looking at it now, Cheng Gang knew he was wrong.
Li Dong is a domineering person, and he is a domineering person, and he offends others, but many people get angry after dealing with him a few times.
For example, Ma Yun and Ma Huateng, in fact, the relationship between the two and Li Dong was not harmonious before.
As a result, after a few times of contact, everyone usually scolds and scolds, but the friendship is actually pretty good.
Even Li Yanhong, when something happened to Baidu, the first thing he thought of was Li Dong.
It's not that there is no one else in Huaxia who can help. The key is that Li Dong doesn't seem very reliable, but in fact he is more reliable in what he does.
In addition, people like Wu Yajun have a good personal relationship with Li Dong.
Although Li Dong is strong and domineering, he is not arrogant. When Wu Yajun met Li Dong, Li Dong was like this. Now Li Dong has three steps a year, but he still has this personality. It is difficult to feel the sense of difference from him.
Although Li Dong didn't have much contact with everyone, everyone liked to deal with this kind of person.
Even Zhu Xinli, who had some complaints about Li Dong, still felt that Li Dong could be handed over to him, at least he had something to say on the bright side.
Even though he is actually very deep in the city, it makes you feel that this guy has no city, and it is very easy to communicate with.
Hearing what the boss said, Cheng Hui who was sitting on the side whispered, "Do you want to say hello now?"
Cheng Gang shook his head slightly and said: "Forget it now, wait for the banquet time to communicate, so we can communicate."
Cheng Hui didn't say anything after hearing the words, and glanced at Li Dong, but felt a little trembling in his heart.
He had heard about Li Dong for a long time, but this was the first time he had met him.
It was difficult for Cheng Hui to connect the smiling, sunny and cheerful Li Dong with the rumored arrogant and domineering Li Dong.
Thinking of Wu Bo who was not out of danger until now, Cheng Hui even felt a little chills unconsciously.
It is said that a dog that bites does not bark. This guy Li Dong barks while biting. It is difficult to judge his true thoughts from the surface.
... />
The Cheng brothers were paying attention to Li Dong, but Li Dong didn't pay attention to them.
After greeting everyone, Li Dong suddenly slapped the guy sitting next to him, cursing and saying: "Old Xu, your brother Dong is here, and you don't say hello, you don't ask hello, you don't even smile. It’s like you didn’t see me, it’s getting better and better now!”
Xu Shengzhe's face was full of black lines, and he said speechlessly: "I said if you can rely on some information, I will say hello to you, I feel ashamed.
Also, this is the annual meeting of entrepreneurs and leaders, not a private club, so don't act like a little liú máng, you will lose face for us Jiangbei. "
Li Dong said disdainfully: "Come on, hang out with Brother Dong, you've earned it.
Isn't it because I'm jealous that I'm too popular, why don't you pay attention to me, don't be so small-minded. "
Xu Shengzhe said weakly: "I'm jealous. Go back to your seat. Minister Yi and the others are here. May I ask you not to let me be the focus, I'm not as thick-skinned as you."
Li Dong looked contemptuous, and stopped talking to him, and shouted with a smile from a long distance: "Minister Yi, Director Wang, Chairman Chen..."
After greeting for a while, Li Dong walked among several officials, pushed Zhu Xinli who was communicating with them, and said, "Old Zhu, make room for me. You can talk about your merger and acquisition later, it's not an important matter." , I have something to talk to some big guys."
Zhu Xinli was speechless, and couldn't help but said: "Li Dong, it's fine if you bully me in private, but with so many people, you still bully me, I really want to fight you one-on-one!"
Several officials couldn't help laughing. Minister Yi of the Ministry of Commerce said something to an accompanying person and sent him away. Then he said to Li Dong: "Mr. Li, sit with me, you still have the temperament to find fault We have to change, we are all wronged for Mr. Zhu."
Zhu Xinli called Qu and said, "Who said no? He didn't bully me. Minister Yi, ask those present, how many people are not bullied by him?"
"Hahaha……"
Everyone burst out laughing, sometimes it's really relaxing when Li Dong is around.
Li Dong didn't care, he sat down with a smile, and then said: "Don't listen to Lao Zhu's nonsense, Minister Yi, you have to help me decide this time.
I heard that the policy of sending home appliances to the countryside has come down, and there is no Jiangbei in the pilot city!
When I heard the news, I was so desperate.
The people in Jiangbei are so miserable. They can't afford washing machines, diàn huà, or TV...
After finally meeting the opportunity, the country is still thinking about the people in Jiangbei, and wants to benefit our people.
But looking back, we are not in the pilot provinces!
When I heard the news, our neighbors all came to me and complained. They said, Li Dong, you are someone now anyway, and I heard that you know all the big leaders of the central government.
You have to do this matter and intercede with us.
Otherwise, we will depend on you every day and never leave!
Let me see where this is going..."
Li Dong crackled for a while, Minister Yi's mouth twitched, and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Li, this policy hasn't been officially issued yet, and your neighbors know about it?"
Li Dong said sincerely: "Really, I can still lie to you!
Of course, there is a little bit of exaggeration..."
"Hahaha……"
Several people couldn't stop laughing again, and the deputy director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission who was sitting next to Minister Yi laughed and said, "President Li, let's change the routine next time.
Now everyone knows your way, cry first, complain about grievances, and then make demands...
It was fine before, but now we should complain to you about our grievances, but you stole our lines, which is not acceptable. "
Li Dong smiled bitterly: "Director Wang, if you say this, then you think highly of me.
I'm really miserable, I'm really worried that my hair has turned white recently, and I can't do anything.
You asked Chairman Chen, how many times have I communicated with the central bank and other institutions because of Vancard.
As a result, until now, nothing has been achieved.
Finally, the government came up with a policy. I was still thinking, if the east is not bright and the west is bright, I can finally gain some small advantages. Now I am strangled to death in my stomach. "
Everyone laughed, and Minister Yi said softly: "Mr. Li, we all understand some things.
It is not easy to be an enterprise. The Ministry of Commerce deals with enterprises. Who knows better than us?
The last time we acquired Carrefour, we also communicated that Yuanfang has not been easy in the past few years, and we also hope that we can give a helping hand to make Yuanfang go further.
But sometimes, we also need to consider the actual situation.
On the Jiangbei side, the reason why it was not listed as a pilot province was mainly due to the lack of conditions, and the other provinces were more suitable.
But Mr. Li doesn't need to worry too much. According to the plan, after March next year, Jiangbei should be covered. "
"Minister Yi, I understand everything you said, and I can also understand your difficulties..."
Li Dong cried again, almost saying that he would not be able to eat soon.
Everyone was a little dumbfounded, being entangled by him was really helpless, Minister Yi said: "Well, let's talk in detail after the meeting is over.
And this time it's not our side that takes the lead. I'll make an appointment with people from the relevant departments later, and we can talk together.
You can't tell us to change the policy just by complaining. I think you should have prepared something, Mr. Li, am I right? "
Li Dong nodded hastily, smiled and said: "There are everything, and our Secretary Qin from Jiangbei also went to see it in person.
Beijing, just for this matter, please be more considerate, our central provinces are not easy..."
When he said that, several people's expressions were slightly condensed.
This guy Li Dong has a lot of energy.
A big official like Secretary Qin would not participate in ordinary affairs, let alone a policy related to enterprises.
Qin Hanyuan personally went to Beijing to help Li Dong for this matter, and Du Anmin from the capital, the others didn't say anything, the two officials interceded for this matter, they really had to think about it.
Now they refuted the face of the two for this matter, and it will be difficult to deal with them in the future.
What's more, Li Dong can also pull his face down, crying poor and complaining, with the help of the above two, if he really wants to refuse, then he will offend many people at once.
Seeing that everyone understood what he meant, Li Dong didn't say any more, just said a few polite words, and walked to his seat.
Seeing this, Zhu Xinli hurriedly greeted the others, caught up with Li Dong, and said in a low voice, "Dongzi, you can do it, if I knew this, I would intercede for me..."
"Thinking too much, I scolded you, you said I would help you intercede for the merger?"
Now Coca-Cola's acquisition of Huiyuan, the biggest difficulty lies in the review by the Ministry of Commerce.
Zhu Xinli worried a lot about this matter.
He was also communicating with everyone about this just now, but several people were arguing with him, without any accurate words.
Who knows, as soon as Li Dong went, he would say a few words, and even the policies that had been set up might change in the future. Zhu Xinli had to sigh with emotion that Li Dong was indeed very energetic now.
If Li Dong could help... Well, even though this possibility is unlikely, Zhu Xinli would be a dead horse as a living doctor.
Li Dong's refusal was not as he expected, Zhu Xinli sighed and said, "Dongzi, I know what you mean.
But I am really struggling now, otherwise, I don't need to be like this. "
Li Dong said while walking: "Everyone has difficulties, but let me tell you the truth, this matter cannot be done 100%.
If you believe me, give up the merger and acquisition plan as soon as possible and start a new layout.
If you make the layout based on the situation after the merger, you will suffer. "
Seeing that he had already arrived at his seat, Zhu Xinli thought for a moment before saying, "Then let me think about it again, but it's almost the end of the year, and I really want to give up. You have to help me at the end of the year, what do you think?"
"Let's talk later."
Li Dong didn't give an accurate answer, and motioned to the host who had already come on stage. Seeing this, Zhu Xinli had no choice but to go back to his seat and sit down.
