Chapter 1609 Follow-Up
Li Dong agreed to CCTV's request for an interview, and CCTV came almost on the same day.
On the 16th, CCTV's exclusive interview team, led by a leader of the propaganda department in Jiangbei, came to visit Li Dong.
For Li Dong's interview plan, CCTV's intention here is not a one-off, but a follow-up plan.
Although Li Dong's reputation in China was so great, Li Dong didn't appear in front of the media many times.
Even the previous interview with Dongxing was only a short-term temporary interview.
Everyone is very interested in Li Dong's private life, his usual work status, and many other things, even CCTV is no exception.
The reason why they came here at this time is actually that CCTV has another meaning.
On the 18th, Teng Xun resumed trading, marking the third anniversary of the establishment of Yuanfang Group.
On the 25th, Weibo went public in the US.
These are all major events, even affecting the global business community. CCTV hopes to record this precious moment. This follow-up plan is planned to last until September.
...
CCTV's interview team is not small. Including the staff, there are a total of more than ten people.
The leader of the team is not low in status, and the director of the news department personally led the team.
Of course, the other party won't stay here for too long. The main purpose of the other party's coming here is to express his respect for Li Dong.
If you have visited Li Dong here, he will return to the capital.
And next, a deputy director will preside over the follow-up, and the main contact with Li Dong is the reporter.
...
In the office, Li Dong received people from CCTV.
The two sides exchanged polite greetings for a while, and when the other party asked for a follow-up visit, Li Dong frowned slightly, pondered for a moment before saying, "It's not a big problem for follow-up visits.
But I have to explain a few points in advance, so as not to make both parties unhappy in the later stage, and I hope Director Xiao understands. "
The middle-aged man sitting side by side with Li Dong quickly smiled and said, "This is what it should be. Just ask Mr. Li for anything, and we will definitely do it!"
When dealing with others, even other big entrepreneurs, CCTV can be a bit stronger.
Can be strong against Li Dong?
Don't mention Li Dong's status, CCTV is still partly under the jurisdiction of the capital, unless they don't want to get mixed up.
Li Dong nodded when he heard the words: "It's not a big request. First, follow-up visits are fine, but it's mainly about official business. My private life, especially my family life, I don't really want to make it public..."
"President Li...this..."
Director Xiao was a little confused: "Mr. Li, do you think this is okay? With your permission, we will make some recordings. Of course, we will definitely let you review the follow-up videos afterwards. If it is really all official ..."
Since I want to do a comprehensive interview, I don't have a family life, so it's a big regret.
Seeing what he said, Li Dong thought for a while before saying, "That's okay.
Second, try not to interfere with our team operations. At this time, our team is very busy. If there is a need for personal interviews, please make an appointment with my assistant in advance.
Don't go to the interview abruptly, this, I hope you can do it. "
"That's for sure!" Director Xiao reassured.
In fact, the people on CCTV have always been very strong, and they have done follow-up interviews before, but they really want to interview whoever they are, and they will interview if they are caught. There is no appointment plan.
Li Dong also knew this, so he pointed it out on purpose.
Seeing that he agreed happily, Li Dong didn't say anything else, he smiled and said: "That's all, you can do anything else, I'm a little busy recently, if you have needs, you can ask Bai Su to arrange it.
By the way, this lady will not be the team reporter this time, right? "
Li Dong looked at the woman sitting beside him who had been silent all this time. She was about thirty years old, and her sitting posture was also dignified and elegant. Her appearance was not stunning, but she was very intellectually beautiful.
The other party seemed to have introduced himself before, but Li Dong didn't ask the other party what he was doing.
Seeing that the other party was there the whole time, I naturally mentioned something.
Even if he doesn't ask,
Director Xiao is also ready to introduce. Now when he asks, Director Xiao immediately said: "Mr. Li, this is Zhao Lin, CCTV News Center..."
Director Xiao introduced it for a while, and Zhao Lin stood up instead of sitting down, and stretched out her hand with a smile on her face: "Hello, Mr. Li, let's get to know each other again, my name is Zhao Lin, and it's a great honor to be your follow-up team reporter."
Li Dong also got up and shook hands with the other party, and then said with a little doubt: "I'm afraid I have to run around during this time, Ms. Zhao's side..."
Zhao Lin quickly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I've actually been doing outdoor work all the time, and I've been traveling all over the world, so I won't cause you any trouble."
"I didn't mean that, okay, so be it."
Li Dong nodded, turned around and said to Bai Su: "Bai Su, next you will contact Director Xiao and Reporter Zhao. Director Xiao, I still have something to deal with here, so I will take a step first. I am really sorry.
In the evening, Yuanfang arranged a reception banquet, and I hope Director Xiao, you will appreciate it. "
Director Xiao quickly showed a flattered expression, and immediately said: "Mr. Li is too polite, you go to work first, and we won't waste your time."
The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Li Dong sent them out of the office.
The follow-up will not start until tomorrow, so there is no need to keep these people today.
...
With Bai Su's farewell, Director Xiao and his party left Yuanfang Building.
After getting into the car, Director Xiao let out a long sigh of relief.
Zhao Lin on the side said softly, "Director, he doesn't seem as scary as you said, does he?"
This time CCTV took great pains to do this exclusive interview.
The media loves and hates Li Dong.
I love him and dare to speak, but at the same time I am afraid that he can speak!
In the past two years, Li Dong held several press conferences in the capital, which made the reporters present want to die, and they really dared to say anything.
CCTV was also afraid of messing up the scene this time, but they had to conduct interviews, and finally decided to choose a team reporter who could hold the scene.
Zhao Lin wasn't originally in charge of this area, but this time she was temporarily transferred to be in charge of Li Dong's exclusive interview.
Without him, it's not that Zhao Lin can really suppress Li Dong, the key is that Zhao Lin's background is fairly deep, at least she can turn around at critical moments, so as to avoid a situation where the two sides fall apart.
Seeing that Zhao Lin was a little slack, Director Xiao hurriedly said: "Be careful, there is no big mistake, Mr. Li... how should I put it, when his temper comes, everyone is afraid of him.
Let's just do a good job with the interview this time, and don't worry about the rest.
Don't even think about digging deep. If you dig it out, we can't broadcast it.
By the way, I heard that you are fairly familiar with Mr. Hu of Dongxing, so you can go and pay a visit. The relationship between Mr. Hu and Mr. Li is not bad.
In addition, Mrs. Li's wife, are you familiar with it? "
Zhao Lin shook her head and said, "I know, but I'm not familiar with it, I've met a few times before.
I am familiar with some members of the Shen family, and I am also familiar with Shen Hang, the current president of the Shen family. Director, don't worry, if there is a problem, I will ask them for help, no problem.
What's more, I don't think Li Dong is the kind of domineering person..."
Director Xiao suddenly frowned at this moment, and said in a low voice: "Don't call her by her first name, Zhao Lin, it's private, don't use it in a formal occasion.
In addition, Mr. Li is not domineering, but extremely domineering and powerful.
Forget it, these have nothing to do with us. In short, this follow-up visit must be taken seriously and stabilized. If there is any problem, please notify me as soon as possible! "
Zhao Lin saw that the director who was usually polite to her mentioned Li Dong, and even felt a little scolding herself in it, and she probably knew Li Dong's status in everyone's eyes, so she didn't say anything at this time, nodded and said: " Don't worry, Director, I won't cause trouble for everyone."
"That's good."
"..."
...
Li Dong didn't care what the CCTV people thought.
However, he soon got the identity information of team reporter Zhao Lin.
It's not that Li Dong is interested in seeing a woman, it's mainly just in case, the team reporters will follow him all the time these days, if something goes wrong, it's not good.
After reading the information for a while, Li Dong knew it in his heart.
He didn't pay too much attention to it, and casually threw the information aside, Li Dong looked at Bai Su and said, "Teng Xun is listed, you go with me.
When Weibo is listed, you don’t have to go there.
Get ready and go to North China as soon as possible.
Your task, the next one is to assist Qi Yunna to complete the acquisition agreement.
Of course, this task is very difficult, if it can be completed, it will be completed, if it cannot be completed, then forget it.
You have been by my side for the past few years. You know more about some things than Qi Yunna. From the perspective of the overall situation of the group, Qi Yunna may not be as forward-looking as you.
Go there, talk less and do more. In addition, if you really see something that you think is bad, don't hide it. If you have a good suggestion, you can go to Qi Yunna directly. "
Bai Su's eyes were complicated, he lowered his head and said, "Okay, I see."
"That's it, make arrangements and go to Xiangjiang tomorrow."
"good."
Bai Su responded, bit her lip and left the office.
...
August 17th was the last day before Teng Xun resumed trading.
At noon, Li Dong arrived in Xiangjiang again.
As soon as Li Dong showed up at the airport, he attracted the attention of countless people, and many people took pictures one after another.
Xiangjiang and even some international media reporters also waited outside the airport.
Seeing such a scene, Zhao Lin, who was doing a personal interview with the team for the first time, couldn't help but whispered to another female partner: "Sister Juan, are the interviews you did before also like this?"
After all, Zhao Lin was not a professional. CCTV was afraid of problems, and arranged for another female reporter with many years of experience to accompany her.
Hearing Zhao Lin's question, Sister Juan shook her head and said, "Of course not, Mr. Li's prestige is growing day by day, and now he has great influence all over the world.
It coincided with Teng Xun's resumption of trading and the listing of Weibo. At this time, almost the whole world was focusing on it.
Compared with political figures, economic figures are more concerned by the public, so even some heads of government may not necessarily have such a grand event. "
"It looks very imposing. I have only heard of him before, but I have never seen him in reality..."
Seeing Zhao Lin's interested expression, Sister Juan coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Linlin, although we don't know each other very well, I know your situation.
You can't subdue Mr. Li.
What's more, Mrs. Li's identity is also extraordinary, so don't cause some trouble for you and your family.
In the end, the only one who gets hurt is yourself. "
Zhao Lin smiled bitterly: "That's what I said, sister Juan misunderstood."
Sister Juan smiled and didn't say anything else. It doesn't matter if she misunderstood or not. Zhao Lin really wants to fly to the fire, and no one can stop her.
But Li Dong is not someone who can be subdued by everyone, not to mention that Li Dong seems to be polite to them, but in fact he just treats them like a stranger.
Sister Juan even felt that Li Dong was a great philanthropist and public welfare worker, but compared with some entrepreneurs interviewed in the past, Li Dong might be a little colder than them.
This kind of feeling is actually very unreasonable, but it is not the first time that Sister Juan has conducted an exclusive interview with an entrepreneur, and she does have this kind of mentality.
Maybe this kind of person treats his family and friends with enthusiasm, but if he is angered by outsiders, it may be too late to regret.
The two CCTV reporters who accompanied the team fell silent.
Li Dong, who was in front of him, ignored the reporters for a while and got into the car directly.
Seeing this, Zhao Lin hurriedly followed, and as soon as she got in the car, Zhao Lin took the recording pen and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, the outside world is now paying attention to Teng Xun's plan to resume trading of technology stocks with the world's largest financing scale, and Teng Xun's resumption of trading Just tomorrow, on the eve of this, can you talk about how you feel right now?"
"Feel?"
Li Dong smiled and said: "It is reasonable to say that you should be nervous, but the nervousness was only at the first road show last month.
Now, it should be said that it is calm. "
"calm?"
"Basically, Teng Xun has mixed praise and criticism. When outsiders mention Teng Xun, most of the time, they say that he is very good, but almost no one says he is great.
But now, Teng Xun is going on a great road.
A company may be very good, even become the number one in the world, and outsiders will envy, worship, and boast constantly.
But it's not that simple to go from greatness to greatness.
In my eyes, if a company wants to grow from being awesome to being great, it must at least be worthy of some talents.
First, consumers.
Second, investors.
Third, society.
Fourth, be worthy of yourself and your employees!
It is actually very difficult to be worthy of these four.
Now Teng Xun, including Yuanfang, can't do it.
However, with the listing of Teng Xun, I think we can achieve some things. For example, Teng Xun is worthy of investors in the resumption of listing this time.
In other words, investing in Teng Xun does not have the risks that everyone imagines, and it will only bring benefits to everyone. This is Teng Xun's return to investors.
In addition, Teng Xun did not spend so much money this time, but it was mainly used to give back to consumers and improve their user experience.
In this way, it is also worthy of the user.
The third point is to be worthy of the society. Next, Teng Xun will further increase investment in the field of public welfare. As the number one IT company, we will also create a better Internet environment, purify the entire network environment, and cooperate with the government to take a series of leading roles effect.
The fourth point, employees and ourselves, need time to prove all this.
Therefore, I say that Teng Xun is now on the way to greatness. Although there is still a long way to go on this road, we are indeed on the way.
Unlike Ali, Ali's delisting in Xiangjiang is a stain that cannot be erased for a lifetime.
Even if they are number one in the world, even if they are so awesome that no one can beat them, I am sorry but I am sorry. In Xiangjiang, Ali's reputation, I think it will be very difficult to get better.
In one market, leaving a lot of chicken feathers, such an enterprise can be awesome, but will never be great. "
Zhao Lin laughed a little, and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Li, the outside world said that you and Ali's horse are always enemies. I thought it was a rumor before, but now..."
She was joking, but Li Dong shook his head and said seriously: "This has nothing to do with anything else, what I said is serious.
Ma Yun is a man with great abilities and a great structure, including his courage, which I admire.
But facts are facts. Ali and Ma Yun cannot be equated, nor can individuals and enterprises be equated.
Ali's delisting in Xiangjiang, it can be said, made countless people despair.
A desperate company, no matter how well he does, it will be difficult to make up for it.
Unless... Ali will make up for it later.
And Teng Xun, in fact, almost entered such a situation before, but I resumed trading in Xiangjiang, and did not choose to delist and re-ip elsewhere, in fact, it was to make up for all this.
This time, Teng Xun has frozen more than 450 billion U.S. dollars.
Many people, even the underwriters, said that the price can be raised, and 50 Hong Kong dollars is not the limit of Teng Xun's resumption of trading.
Raising the price to HK$55 is not a big problem.
In addition, in the international distribution part, other companies can generally occupy more than 90% of the share, while Teng Xun, in the international distribution part, is less than 70%, and in the Hong Kong public offering part, it exceeds 30%.
This point, in fact, Teng Xun is extremely risky.
The public offering raised 15 billion Hong Kong dollars. Someone once advised me to reduce this ratio to less than 10%. For retail investors, the scale can be reduced.
But I still insisted on selling 300 million shares. When the frozen capital reached 800 billion Hong Kong dollars, I chose to terminate the subscription. Otherwise, the part of Teng Xun’s public offering is expected to exceed one trillion Hong Kong dollars.
All of this is to give back to investors, scattered individual investors.
Teng Xun is making up for the losses of shareholders caused by the previous competition with Yuanfang. I believe that the previous stains will be gradually wiped out by us.
In the end, it is natural to move towards greatness.
You said, are Teng Xun and Ali the same concept? "
Zhao Lin's expression was no longer smiling at the moment, and she nodded slightly after a while and said, "It's me who is shallow.
But I still want to ask, since Mr. Li said that Teng Xun is on his way to greatness, what about the distance? "
"It's hard far away."
After Li Dong finished speaking four simple words, he stopped talking.
Zhao Lin looked curious. Teng Xun was not Yuanfang's direct descendant. It stands to reason that Li Dong should praise Yuanfang even more after he praised Teng Xun.
Why can Teng Xun go to greatness, but it is difficult to go far?
She didn't know that Li Dong was going to gamble with Yuan Fang now.
The bet is won, everyone is happy, and they are going to greatness, Li Dong dares to say it.
If the bet is lost, Yuanfang will really be dragged down, and the hundreds of thousands of employees, including those cooperative enterprises, those suppliers, and many people, may suffer losses.
Under such circumstances, the distance is not great.
This is related to the choice of founder Li Dong.
If he chooses to remain stable, then the distance is also heading for greatness.
Zhao Lin couldn't understand this point, and Li Dong wouldn't tell outsiders about it.
