Chapter 395: The Battle for the Richest Man in Two Generations

Originally, Li Dong planned to take time to go to Switzerland, but the time was too late. novel"%

There are so many things going on in June!

Not to mention the land auction at the end of the month, I have to take over Chengrui Real Estate in the middle and find someone to replace Zhang Lanyu.

In addition, the distance here is also very busy.

For the secretary interview on the 18th, Li Dong had to see it for himself.

This time, the chairman's secretary was recruited. Logically speaking, he was closer than the assistant. He could be regarded as Li Dong's personal butler, so Li Dong couldn't do it casually.

But before the secretary's interview, Li Dong became popular again.

On June 16, the terms Yuanfang and Li Dong filled the pages of major newspapers in Jiangbei.

There are two reports about Li Dong and Yuanfang this time.

First, Yuanfang plans to spend huge sums of money to acquire Times!

The news came from Southern Jiangsu. The second round of negotiations between Yuanfang and Times was over, and both parties knew that they couldn't hide it, so they officially announced the news.

At the same time, Jiangbei Yuanfang also issued an announcement. Regarding the acquisition era, Yuanfang is determined to win!

As soon as the news came out, not only the retail industry was shocked, but other industries were also shocked.

The era of distant acquisitions?

A city that has only been established for two years, and now wants to acquire a large city that has been established for ten years and has assets of more than two billion?

Everyone was very puzzled, and there were two main doubts.

First, where did the money come from afar to buy Times?

Second, what is the purpose of Yuanfang's acquisition of Era? Is Yuanfang planning to formally set foot in the East China retail battlefield and head-to-head with several large markets?

No matter what everyone thinks or doubts, the matter has become a fact.

Yuanfang is not doing a gimmick, nor is it hype, but is really preparing to acquire Times.

The inside story about the negotiation between Yuanfang and Times has also been exposed, and Yuanfang has invested 2.3 billion!

This price was definitely passed on by one of the parties involved, and Li Dong knew 100% that it was from the Times.

Perhaps in order to increase the sense of crisis of several other companies, Times disclosed Yuanfang's offer to the outside world. It stands to reason that this is a violation of regulations. The negotiation has not officially ended, and Times cannot disclose the inside information to the outside world.

But this kind of thing is just talking, people really revealed it, and there is nothing to do in the distance.

As soon as the price of 2.3 billion came out, those who had said that Yuanfang was speculating all shut their mouths.

No one would joke about so much money. In fact, the 2.3 billion acquisition era is very likely. Once successful, Yuanfang will make an acquisition.

And if Yuanfang can't afford the money, when the acquisition is terminated, Yuanfang will also suffer huge losses.

A professional negotiating team takes one or two months, and the cost is not a small amount.

In addition, some professional organizations should be invited to evaluate the price of the era, which is also a big expense. In addition, the failure of the acquisition may have adverse effects on Yuanfang.

Based on these points, the possibility of speculation in the distance is almost zero, because the gain outweighs the loss.

The news that Yuanfang was going to acquire Times was confirmed, and Jiangbei also spread. In a short period of time, Yuanfang's reputation soared a lot.

And this is just the first report about the distance.

As for the second report in the major newspapers in Jiangbei, it has nothing to do with the distance, but Li Dong's personal problem.

After all, Li Dong's experience in Longhua Group could not be hidden from others.

Both parties are Jiangbei celebrities, one is Jiangbei Fu, and the other is a leader of young entrepreneurs.

Li Dong was frustrated in Longhua, Xu Jianghua refused to see Li Dong, and Li Dong walked away. As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

Both of them are tycoon-level figures, and there should not be too many people who are interested in the gossip news related to the two big men.

If it was said that Li Dong was weaker than Xu Jianghua before, but now that the news of Yuanfang's acquisition of the era has spread, many people think that Li Dong and Xu Jianghua are not much different.

Some people even speculated whether Jiang Beifu's name should be changed.

Longhua Group is rich, but Xu Jianghua is not alone in Longhua Group. Xu Jianghua has the highest share in Longhua Group, but it is only about 60%.

As for the 60%, Xu Jianghua's two sons each accounted for 5%, and Xu Jianghua actually controlled only about half of the shares.

Longhua's market value is about 12 billion, which means that Xu Jianghua's personal net worth is 6 billion.

As for Li Dong, the newspapers reported last year that his net worth was about 1 billion, but this year, since Li Dong had capital acquisitions, everyone felt that Li Dong was underestimated.

If the acquisition era is successful, Yuanfang's market value will probably reach 4 billion.

In addition, it is rumored that Li Dong still retains a large number of Baidu shares in his hands. According to outside rumors, the value of this share is no less than 500 million.

That is to say, Li Dong's personal net worth can reach about 4 billion. At the annual meeting last year, Li Dong generously distributed shares to the general manager of Yuanfang. Many people knew about it, so he didn't include this money.

4 billion to 6 billion, it seems that Li Dong is not as good as Xu Jianghua.

Don't forget, how old is Li Dong, and how old is Xu Jianghua!

Xu Jianghua is three times the age of Li Dong, more than 40 years older than him, it is clear at a glance who has potential.

Even if Li Dong is not Jiangbei Fu now, sooner or later he will be. Now that the old and the new are fighting and even turning against each other, everyone feels a little happy to see it.

As soon as the report came out, it not only aroused public discussion in the business community, but also in the official circles and the people.

Many people have speculated, why did the two tycoons turn their faces?

Among them, there are two most widely spread guesses, and they are also two diametrically opposite conclusions.

The first conclusion is that Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe are on good terms, and Li Dong was criticized by the media for having a bad temper because of two beating incidents. Under such circumstances, Xu Jianghua regards Xu Shengzhe as the future head of Longhua, and he naturally does not want Li Dong, a reckless hero, to spoil his son.

Coupled with the fact that the video of the two partners beating someone was released a few days ago, Xu Jianghua's move may be to make his son and Li Dong separate.

This is the first guess, and there are many people who agree.

The second guess is a bit more interesting. When the newspaper reported it, it was specially noted that this was the news from the senior officials in Longhua.

That is, the friendship between Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe may have an impact on the future handover of Longhua.

This influence does not mean that Li Dong brought Xu Shengzhe down, but that it will affect Xu Shengzhe's elder brother's succession.

According to this insider, Xu Shengzhe, who has always been favored by the outside world, may not be the ideal successor in Xu Jianghua's mind.

And the eldest son of the Xu family, known as the playboy, is Xu Jianghua's ideal candidate.

The reason why Xu Jianghua humiliated Li Dong may be to pave the way for the eldest son of the Xu family. After all, Li Dong is not an ordinary person. Once the brothers fight against each other, Li Dong will be a great help to Xu Shengzhe.

In order to get Li Dong out of this succession struggle, Xu Jianghua made this move.

Some people believed the two conjectures, and some didn't believe them, thinking that Xu Jianghua and Li Dong wouldn't be so boring.

Believe it or not, everyone understands that Longhua and Yuanfang really fell out!

Everyone has known a lot about Li Dong's temper in the past two years. Being rejected by Xu Jianghua, the slap in the face is unusual.

It can be seen from Li Dong's leaving with a flick of his sleeves that Li Dong was very angry this time.

In this case, even if Li Dong had a personal relationship with Xu Shengzhe, that would not change anything, and the enmity between the two parties was officially settled.

Many people want to see the follow-up, to see if there will be another conflict between the two in the future.

But at present, there is little hope. Li Dong is in the retail business and Longhua is in the real estate business. There are not many places where the two sides meet, and it is difficult to have disputes in the business field.

No one knew that Li Dong was ready for revenge.

No one knew that Li Dong had acquired Chengrui Real Estate. After all, the two parties hadn't handed over yet, and Zhang Lanyu was in charge of Chengrui's work, and there were not many people who knew the inside story.

Even if he knew the inside story, he would not have thought that Li Dong, who was in the acquisition era, would be planning to get involved in the real estate industry.

Because no one knew about it, even though the dispute between the two was rumored, in fact, everyone felt that this matter should be over. If they want to see the follow-up, they may have to wait a few years.

But Li Dong obviously suffered in the first round.

Being rejected by others is not a matter of face, if it is an ordinary person, forget it, the key is Li Dong!

An influential figure in the Jiangbei business circle, and a business leader born in the 1980s in China.

He was slapped in the face, and he didn't even have a chance to retaliate. No matter how you look at it, Li Dong suffered a bad loss and lost his lord once.

Many people are wondering if Li Dong has lost his temper now.

...

Not only outsiders think so, but also people who know Li Dong.

As soon as the report came out, many people called to comfort Li Dong.

Wang Jie called, Fatty called, Zhang Lanyu called...

Even Qin Yuhan, who was far away in the capital, made a special call and comforted Li Dong in a low voice so that he would not be angry. She would be back in a few days, and then she would accompany Li Dong to beat up that old bastard.

Although he knew that everyone was comforting him, Li Dong was still a little helpless.

In fact, he is really not angry now. Ever since he decided to participate in the auction, Li Dong was ready to take revenge.

What he lost was face, but Li Dong was going to let Xu Jianghua lose face at the same time. At that time, it was Xu Jianghua who should be angry, and there was no need for him to comfort him.

But there are some things that can't be said now. Li Dong is going to surprise Xu Jianghua at that time, but it is not enough to say it now.

No way, everyone called to comfort, Li Dong had no choice but to accept them one by one, and he had to say a few words of thanks.

In the end, Li Dong was about to shut down the phone.

Just when Li Dong wanted to turn off the phone, Xu Shengzhe, who was watching the World Cup in Germany, also called.

Xu Shengzhe's first sentence was: "I'm sorry!"

Li Dong smiled and said: "It's okay, it has nothing to do with you, you greeted me before, but I didn't expect your old man to do such a terrible thing."

Xu Shengzhe was speechless, and it took a long time before he said: "The old man is the old man, and I am me. No matter how you and the old man handle it, I hope this matter will not affect our personal relationship."

Li Dong smiled and said: "Of course, but when the time comes, your old man will suffer, so don't blame me."

Xu Shengzhe has a very keen sense of smell, and when he heard it, he said vigilantly: "Sufficient? What are you going to do? Li Dong, I don't care how you fight in the business field, but if you play tricks, our friendship won't work. That's my father, you can Don't mess around!"

Li Dong laughed and said, "What are you talking about, am I that kind of person?"

"Don't try to hide it from me. Those surnamed Zhu and Feng have nothing to end with. Li Dong, if you treat me as a friend, please don't mess around. It's not worth getting yourself into a fight for face!"

Li Dong said impatiently: "Believe it or not, I'm too lazy to talk to you, that's it, hang up!"

As soon as he hung up the phone, Xu Shengzhe felt relieved.

But he also took Li Dong's words to heart, since it wasn't a private fight, it was a business matter.

Xu Shengzhe wanted to remind the old man a few words, but after thinking about it, forget it.

Now the old man is a bit headstrong, and he may not listen to his own words, otherwise he would not have treated Li Dong like that before.

It would be a good thing if Li Dong really suffered a little.

With such a big group as Longhua, Xu Shengzhe didn't believe that Li Dong could torment Longhua so quickly. If this was the case, then Li Dong was too awesome, and it was useless for him to remind him.

...

After hanging up Xu Shengzhe's phone call, Li Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Without hesitation, he turned off the phone directly.

He answered so many calls a day, and everyone still seemed to care about him, and Li Dong was also extremely helpless.

Just as he was about to take a break, the office door was pushed open.

Shen Qian walked in and said, "Is what the newspaper said true?"

"What about Xu Jianghua?"

"right!"

"real."

After hearing Li Dong's confirmation, Shen Qian's face changed, and she said gloomyly: "Xu Jianghua is so shameless? What right does he have to treat you like this! My father even saw you..."

Halfway through the talk, Shen Qian didn't continue, took a deep breath and said, "You went to the auction to fight Xu Jianghua once?"

Li Dong didn't deny it either, nodded and said, "Part of it is because of this, and it's also about interests."

Shen Qian didn't care what he said later, she thought for a while and said: "Longhua's money hasn't arrived yet, and the money from the far side cannot be spared for the time being, and the money for buying land cannot be used from far away."

Li Dong was a little unhappy when he heard it. He had already greeted Sun Tao before, and let him embezzle the 300 million yuan in the distance.

Sun Tao had no objection, what else did Shen Qian object to?

Seeing Li Dong's dissatisfied face, Shen Qian took a deep breath, with some hesitation on her face, and finally became firm again, she bit her red lips and said, "Don't use the money from far away, if you are short of money, I will lend it to you!"

"you?"

Li Dong looked at her in surprise, and it took him a while to smile from ear to ear and said: "I said, big sister, you should keep your savings of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands to buy clothes yourself. You lend me? You How much can you lend me? One hundred thousand or one million?

You don't know what I want to do with the money?

What is hundreds of thousands of dollars enough to buy land? "

"Is 500 million enough?"

"What is 500 million enough for..." Li Dong suddenly paused in the middle of speaking.

The office was also quiet, Li Dong looked up at Shen Qian, and after a while he smiled and said: "Shen Qian, is it interesting to make this joke now?"

"I'm not kidding! I lent you 500 million yuan, and you got rid of that old ghost Xu Jianghua for me! Why does that old guy bully people!" Shen Qian said angrily.

The corner of Li Dong's mouth twitched, and it took a long time before he said solemnly: "Are you serious?"

"real!"
