Chapter 708: Prosperity Ends

After returning from the Yangtze River Tower, this trip to Xiangjiang should almost be over.

On April 14, everyone visited SPACE Business School.

After listening to a lecture in the school that is said to be a world-class financial expert, the Xiangjiang course officially came to an end.

...

Back at the hotel, Li Dongzheng told Chen Ke and the others to pack their luggage and leave tomorrow.

Doorbell rang.

Zhou Haidong stepped forward to open the door, and after a while Li Dong heard Chen Kaixuan's laughter.

Li Dong put down what he was doing, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Brother Chen, you don't have to be so happy to see your sister-in-law when you go back."

Chen Kaixuan laughed and said, "I'm an old man and wife, what's there to be happy about? I'm happy for you, brother."

"I?"

"Yeah, are you free tonight?"

"Yes, I have to go back tomorrow, and I have nothing to do tonight, what's the matter?"

Chen Kaixuan said mysteriously: "Accompany me to a reception tonight, and I have a surprise for you."

"Reception..." Li Dong couldn't laugh or cry: "This is what you are happy for me? What other reception is worthy of your excitement."

"Lao Yang's daughter heard that we are leaving tomorrow, so please invite us to have a meal together. Others can refuse, but you can't. You have to go this time. I am looking forward to the youngest two big entrepreneurs in China. What kind of sparks did they collide with?"

He just started talking about Lao Yang's daughter, but Li Dong didn't know who it was.

As soon as the latter sentence came out, Li Dong immediately knew who he was talking about.

Yang Huiyan!

The richest man in 2007, the first 100 billion richest man, the youngest richest man, and the second generation richest man...

This series of derogatory or praiseful names hang on that head, Li Dong can't decide whether to know it or not.

At present, because Country Garden has not yet been listed, and the Hurun list has not been released, Yang Huiyan is not well-known, and only some people in the industry know her.

But when the Hurun List is released in the second half of the year, most of China will know the name of the richest woman.

26 years old, woman, richest man...

When these three nouns are put together, it will not work if you think about it.

It's not surprising that the other party knows Chen Kaixuan. The headquarters of both parties are in the same city, and they are both heads of large companies. It is normal for them to meet each other.

But others are not too familiar with that person, it seems a bit too attentive to hold a farewell party.

Li Dong glanced at Chen Kaixuan, and Chen Kaixuan said with a smile: "Don't think too much, just treat it as a friend. Shopping malls, many friends have multiple paths, besides, your business scope does not overlap, and you are not enemies, let's go together .”

"Where is the reception?"

"It's on the peninsula, at 7:30 in the evening, I'll call you when the time comes."

Li Dong didn't hesitate any longer, nodded and said: "That's fine, I will go there then."

Since Chen Kaixuan still had to inform other people, he didn't say much, and after chatting for a few words, he went to the next room.

Seeing his busy schedule, Li Dong rubbed his chin. Why is Lao Chen so caring?

Li Dong didn't think it was too dirty, and the two parties didn't have that kind of relationship. He just thought that this reception was not just about meeting a few friends, there was another purpose, right?

The day before yesterday, everyone had just finished talking about Country Garden at the Yangtze River Tower, and the other party came to the door when they turned around. What a coincidence.

...

No matter what Li Dong thought, it was just a reception, and there were still many people going, so he didn't worry about anything.

seven o'clock in the evening.

Ballroom.

When Li Dong arrived, there were already many people inside.

Everyone was chatting around with a glass of red wine, and when they saw Li Dong coming, Wu Yajun who was talking to someone came over with a glass of red wine and said with a smile: "Dongzi, what do you think?"

Li Dong smiled and said, "What do you think?"

While talking, Li Dong took the red wine handed over by the waiter next to him, and asked, "Are they all from our class?"

"There are some other people, and some celebrities are also invited to add to the fun. Would you like to hook up a few?"

"Not interested in."

Li Dong shook his head, Wu Yajun didn't care, and continued: "What do you think,

In the past, you ranked first among young people in China, but once Country Garden completes its listing, it will be difficult to say. "

Li Dong said disapprovingly: "I don't care, anyone who wants this should take it first."

Wu Yajun immediately smiled and said, "You really don't mind at all?"

Li Dong smiled and said, "Sister Wu, is she trying to force me to say something?"

"That's right, I just want to force you to say a few words about your ambition, and see if you can inspire my sister's fighting spirit."

"Why should I compare myself with the second generation?"

Li Dong dropped these words, turned around and went to chat with other people.

Wu Yajun was stunned for a moment, and then laughed after a while and said: "This guy is really proud."

Although Li Dong said it insolently, it was also the truth.

Yuanfang Group is a group created by Li Dong. In addition, Yuanfang has not yet been listed, and if it is really going to be listed, Country Garden may not be comparable to Yuanfang.

And Yang Huiyan is only the second generation, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Li Dong not comparing with her.

Seeing that Li Dong had already run away, Wu Yajun smiled and did not continue to look for him, and started chatting with the people next to him.

The reception is a place for socializing, and the purpose of coming here is to get to know more people. If you come here and hide in a corner to admire yourself, then you might as well not come.

Since Li Dong came, he didn't pretend to be arrogant.

Chat with classmates, meet strangers, pass business cards to each other, and get to know each other.

Li Dong is also a domestic celebrity, and many people know him.

He is busy socializing with people, and others are eager to get to know him.

After a while, Li Dong received more than ten business cards.

Some of these people are from the Mainland and Hong Kong, and they are all the heads of various enterprises.

The reception that Yang Huiyan organized tonight is not low in standard, and the number of people who come is not light.

After turning around, Li Dong was about to find a place to rest, when Chen Kaixuan, who hadn't seen him all this time, came over and pulled him, saying, "I'll rest later, let's go, and get to know Xiao Yang."

Li Dong had no choice but to get up and said, "I didn't see anyone just now, so I thought they didn't come. Has someone arrived?"

"Here, I just greeted you when I saw you, but you didn't hear me."

The two of them walked towards the corner while talking.

Going around the pillars in the hall, Li Dong saw five or six people, men and women, laughing and chatting.

As soon as Chen Kaixuan arrived, he smiled and said, "Everyone, stop for a while, Li Dong has arrived from afar."

As soon as they heard Li Dong's name, everyone turned their heads and looked over.

One of the men in his fifties smiled and said, "It's better to be famous than to meet him. He really is a handsome young man from mainland China."

The other party spoke Mandarin, although it is not standard, but it can be considered Mandarin.

Chen Kaixuan waited for him to finish speaking and then introduced: "This is the president of Dickson Group, Mr. Pan."

After hearing this, Li Dong laughed quickly and said, "Hello, Mr. Pan."

Dickson Poon is still well-known in Hong Kong. Although he is not well-known in the mainland, the strength of Dickson Group is not weak.

Li Dong didn't expect this one to come too.

Probably knowing that Li Dong didn't know much about the inside story, Pan Dickson smiled and said, "I have to join Miss Yang's reception."

Chen Kaixuan then explained: "Mr. Pan also participated in the subscription of Country Garden."

Li Dong now understands that the listing of Country Garden has attracted the participation of many Xiangjiang tycoons, and it seems that this is one of them.

Next, Chen Kaixuan introduced several other people, including the daughter of the head of Great Eagle Group, the executive president of Henderson Real Estate, and the vice president of New World Development...

Li Dong greeted several people one by one, and suddenly he understood why Yang Huiyan wanted to hold this reception.

These people are all tycoons or representatives of tycoons in Xiangjiang. The reason why they hold this reception is probably because they know what the richest man said.

Now everyone stands up together to support Country Garden!

The target is not necessarily Li Dong and the others, but it can also be regarded as a statement to the outside world. They are all optimistic about Country Garden, and they have invested real money. What doubts do you have?

Li's richest man's words may not spread, but it is not impossible for them to spread.

At this opportunity of going public, Country Garden must be a little nervous when there is such a sudden change.

At this time, the Hong Kong tycoons who subscribed were pulled out. On the one hand, it was an explanation, and on the other hand, it was also pressure.

Look at how strong my side is!

Although the one from the Yangtze River Group is strong, this side is not weak either. A Henderson Group is not much different from the other side, let alone other tycoons.

After thinking about this, Li Dong was suddenly a little depressed.

You demonstrators, if you had known it was for this, I would not have come.

After barely finishing greeting a few people, Chen Kaixuan finally introduced the only younger woman in the crowd, and said with a smile, "Brother Li, this is the executive director of Country Garden, Miss Yang Huiyan."

"Xiao Yang, you also know Li Dong, you are about the same age, I think you should have a common language."

Yang Huiyan smiled slightly after hearing this, and stretched out her hand to Li Dong calmly: "Mr. Li, hello."

Li Dong stretched out his hand to shake her, and the two exchanged some polite words.

However, Chen Kaixuan didn't have the smooth talk that Chen Kaixuan imagined. Yang Huiyan didn't talk much, and Li Dong was actually not a talkative person either.

Several other people laughed a little when they saw this, and began to come over to warm up the scene.

Li Dong chatted with a few people for a while, and finally left with the excuse that someone asked him.

As soon as he left, Pan Dickson laughed and said, "The young man is quite arrogant."

He spoke Cantonese, and if Li Dong really paid attention, he would find that the several tycoons or representatives of the tycoons here almost all came from the same place.

Chen Kaixuan smiled and said, "It feels okay. Let's get to know each other today. Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Some of the crowd were disdainful, some chuckled and did not answer.

Yang Huiyan, who didn't talk much, shook her head lightly and said: "There shouldn't be many opportunities for cooperation, Uncle Chen, thank you for your help at this reception. Let's go out for a while later, I think the influence should be almost dissipated."

Several people nodded when they heard the words, and didn't say anything about Li Dong.

Although Li Dong's achievements are good now, he is a bit far away from everyone, and everyone does not feel that he is weaker than Li Dong, so naturally he does not have the imaginary worship.

...

After a reception, Li Dong was like a passerby.

The protagonist tonight is the second young lady of the Yang family. On the eve of Country Garden's listing, she is the one that attracts the most attention.

Li Dong, who was hiding in the north of the river, did not cause much disturbance on the Xiangjiang side.

Li Dong didn't care either, he stood in the crowd and watched coldly.

In the eyes of these people, how many of the entire CEO class can really catch their eyes?

The reason why they were invited was just to convey an attitude.

What people value is not their identities in the mainland, but the name of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business students.

It was the guy from the Changjiang Tower who really caught their eyes. The message they really wanted to convey was to tell that guy, I know what you said, but everyone doesn't mess with the river, so don't make trouble.

As for Li Dong, well, he is a mainlander with some money.

Apart from this, I'm afraid everyone is only surprised by his youth.

But when Yang Huiyan becomes the richest man, Li Dong's brilliance will probably be covered up at that time.

In this world, the second is always unknown.

When Li Dong was the only one born in the 80s generation, everyone remembered him. When there was another person who was more eye-catching than him, Li Dong was not as unattainable as imagined.

Li Dong understood all this, but he didn't care too much.

Momentary glory can't explain anything, others look down on him, and he doesn't necessarily look down on others.

Of these people on the field, there were only three or five people that Li Dong could really catch.

As for Xiangjiang, whether it is Dickson Pan or others, most of them are the second generation. In Li Dong's eyes, they are not as good as the low-key tycoons like Yang Shaopeng.
