Chapter 845 Business School Graduation
December 28th.
Oriental Plaza.
With Xiang Bing's enthusiastic concluding remarks, the second batch of CEO students officially graduated.
Of course, the morning is just the graduation ceremony.
The main task is to issue graduation certificates, and there will be a graduation party in the evening, which will not be held at the Oriental Plaza.
After taking graduation photos, the students did not leave.
It's rare to get together, and we have a lot to talk about.
Especially recently, the domestic financial market has gradually become unstable, and many people are worried.
It's not that they are looking for trouble. Although there are not many students in the CEO class, they are almost all the general managers and chairman of the major groups.
Now that the financial turmoil hits, they are the first to be affected.
Li Dong just said a few words with Yang Shaopeng, Wu Yajun came over, patted Li Dong's shoulder carelessly, and said with a smile: "Dongzi, what are you talking about?"
I have to say that sometimes Wu Yajun's masculinity is overwhelming.
Especially in front of Li Dong, Wu Yajun never cared about the details.
This is also related to the age gap between the two. Wu Yajun is in his forties this year, half older than Li Dong, and his son is not younger than Li Dong.
In fact, when interacting with other people, Wu Yajun would never behave like this, and things like this casual pat on the shoulder would never happen to others.
The reason for the different attitudes towards Li Dong is that on the one hand, the two sides have dealt with each other more often, and on the other hand, Li Dong is young, so Wu Yajun doesn't have to shy away from anything.
Wu Yajun didn't wait for Li Dong to answer the question, and smiled at Yang Shaopeng: "Brother Yang, lend us Li Dong for a while, and return it to you later, don't you mind?"
Yang Shaopeng laughed and said, "Just use it, as long as your Lao Cai doesn't mind."
Li Dong on the side was full of helplessness. After dealing with these bosses for a long time, Li Dong realized that everyone was actually an ordinary person.
Don't look at them usually being high in the company and dignified in the media and social occasions. In fact, they usually make jokes, and there are no less dirty jokes than others.
But everyone has to maintain their image outside and restrain themselves.
But now, everyone is almost at the same level, people in the same circle, and they are not taboo when joking around.
In front of them, Li Dong was as innocent as a little white rabbit.
They are all uncles and aunts in their 40s and 50s, not to mention children, some people have a lot of grandchildren, and they are much more open than Li Dongke.
As Li Dong expected, Wu Yajun didn't care, put his arms around Li Dong's shoulders affectionately and smiled and said: "Our old Cai doesn't mind, I also want old cows to eat tender grass, but it's a pity that our Dongzi doesn't like it." I.
If I knew I would have given birth to a daughter, I have to recruit this guy as my son-in-law. "
"You don't have a daughter, but I do. Dongzi, think about it?" Yang Shaopeng answered by the way, with a smile on his face.
Li Dong said with a wry smile: "Brother Yang, I've already called you Big Brother, so don't harm my niece."
"Hahaha……"
Yang Shaopeng laughed out loud immediately, which attracted the attention of others.
But seeing Li Dong and the others chatting, the others didn't mind and smiled back.
Li Dong, Wu Yajun, and Yang Shaopeng are all from the wealthy class, even in the CEO class, they are at the forefront.
The status of a businessman generally depends on influence first.
There are two types of influence, commercial influence and political influence.
In China, there are not many businessmen who can influence the national political situation, or none.
However, there are still many businessmen who have affected the local political situation, including Li Dong.
Under influence, the other is wealth.
Businessmen, what to talk about if you don't talk about money.
Li Dong is one of the ten richest people on the Hurun List this year, with a net worth of more than 30 billion.
Wu Yajun entered the top 100, with a net worth of more than 8 billion.
Although Yang Shaopeng is slightly weaker, his net worth exceeds 6 billion, hovering around 100.
Don't think that more than one hundred is enough. There are so many companies in the country, how many can be on the list?
So many provinces across the country,
In some provinces, because of the backward economy, there are not even two in the top 100.
In terms of net worth, Yang Shaopeng is also one of the top super tycoons in Lu Province.
The three of them gathered together, no matter what circle they were in, they would never be low-class.
A lot of people were planning to have a relationship with their classmates. At this time, Yang Shaopeng laughed louder. Of course, no one would jump out to spoil the fun.
...
Freed from Yang Shaopeng's devilish laughter, Li Dong fell into another clutch.
Wu Yajun didn't let his thoughts go, following Yang Shaopeng's words just now, Wu Yajun pulled Li Dong to the side, and said with a smile: "Lao Yang was not joking just now, I think he really moved his mind, Dongzi, don't you think about it?" consider?"
Li Dong said helplessly: "Sister Wu, look at Old Brother Yang's appearance, do I dare to agree?"
"puff!"
Wu Yajun almost burst out laughing, and it took a while before he came back and said, "Lao Yang heard this, so I have to fight you hard. But don't judge people by their appearance, Lao Yang's daughter is quite beautiful.
If I were you, I would definitely consider it.
Think about it, Lao Yang has such a big family business, who else can give it to him if he doesn't give his only daughter?
If you open your mouth, Haifeng is yours, don't you feel tempted at all? "
As the largest private shipping group company in China, SITC has extraordinary influence and wealth.
Although Wu Yajun's personal wealth is higher than that of Yang Shaopeng, compared to his influence in the industry, Wu Yajun is slightly weaker.
After all, there are countless real estate companies across the country, and there are many real estate developers who are richer than Wu Yajun.
But there is no shipping boss richer than Yang Shaopeng, because the three shipping groups that are more powerful than him are all state-owned enterprises.
Li Dong laughed and said, "Money, you can earn it yourself. It's also comfortable to use. Sister Wu, don't you think so?"
"That's true. Since you don't consider Lao Yang's daughter, why should you consider my niece? Let me tell you, my niece is very beautiful..."
Wu Yajun talked a lot, and almost praised his niece as a fairy.
Saying she's totally joking doesn't sound like that either.
Similar to Yang Shaopeng, Wu Yajun also raised his mouth in a joking tone, but in fact he was somewhat sincere.
As Yuanfang Group grows bigger and bigger, especially when it defeated the old chain giant Suguo some time ago, Li Dong's influence and wealth have now reached a balance.
In the retail industry, apart from two supermarket chains and two home appliance chains, Yuanfang Group is the fifth largest group.
As far as supermarket chains are concerned, Yuanfang Group is the top three overlord enterprises.
The head of this overlord enterprise in a remote place is only 22 years old this year, and only 23 years old after the Chinese New Year. He is young, unmarried, and not ugly...
Li Dong joked about the national male god on Weibo, and no one really objected.
It's not just ordinary girls who fantasize about flying on branches and becoming phoenixes, there are also many people in the industry who play Li Dong's idea.
Of course, everyone will not be so direct, they just mention something in a roundabout way.
It's best if it can be done, and it won't be too embarrassing if it can't be done.
They are all people who want face. If they really bring their daughter and niece to meet Li Dong, they will lose face even if Li Dongxiao doesn't say anything.
After Wu Yajun finished speaking, Li Dong laughed and said, "Sister Wu, stop joking. I'm having a headache now, so I don't want to think about it."
He didn't bother to say that he had a girlfriend. Don't these people know that he has a girlfriend?
All clear!
But a girlfriend is a girlfriend, and a wife is a wife, and it's not an excuse to say it.
It's better not to mention it. It's better if Li Dong said that, he rejected the other party and didn't hurt the peace.
Sure enough, Wu Yajun didn't say this anymore.
It is enough to mention this matter. Since Li Dong has no such intention, he will become an enemy if he continues to talk about it.
The two found a relatively secluded place. At this time, Wu Yajun also regained his composure, and said in a low voice: "Dongzi, the market has really changed recently, you are amazing!"
Li Dong pretended to be stupid and said, "What's wrong?"
"What's the matter, didn't you tell me back then that this year's situation is not good? I didn't take it seriously before, who knows that the situation will become more critical as the end of the year approaches.
Fortunately, I gave up my plan to go public, otherwise I would be in big trouble.
Country Garden was so crazy in the middle of the year. The market value of the shares in the hands of Yang's father and daughter exceeded 100 billion. When the Hurun list came out, they were the richest people in the country.
Tsk tsk, I'm afraid they really regarded themselves as the boss in the industry at that time, who did they value?
As a result, you can see that it has only been more than a month, and the decline may have exceeded tens of billions.
If things go on like this, I don't even dare to think about what they will do next year. Shareholders' money is not so easy to get. "
There was a hint of gloating in Wu Yajun's tone, but also happiness.
It stands to reason that she and Country Garden have no enmity, and the development locations of the two parties rarely overlap.
However, it is said that colleagues are enemies. Although this is not so absolute, it is also true.
At that time, Country Garden went public and created quite a miracle. Taking advantage of the booming period, Country Garden made a lot of attacks.
Wu Yajun was cut off by the other party once. He made a lot of money in the listing, and he seemed rich and powerful. Wu Yajun didn't have the slightest temper when he was smashed.
But no matter what, he is also a top-ranked rich man in the country, and being smashed in the face with money is more ruthless than anything else.
Wu Yajun kept holding her breath, and now seeing Country Garden's stock price plummeting, she didn't bother to hide it, she was just happy.
It's not just a loss of money when the stock price has fallen so much.
If one is not handled well, there is a possibility of bankruptcy.
Li Dong smiled and said: "It's not my god, but I'm more cautious. At that time, the central bank raised interest rates several times, and the subprime mortgage crisis in Europe and the United States intensified, so I was a little worried.
By the way, Miss Wu, are you okay? "
"fine."
Wu Yajun said it was okay, but there was a hint of worry on his face: "However, housing prices and land prices in various places are falling now, and Longfor has also hoarded a lot of land and real estate.
In the past, it’s okay to hold back for a while, housing prices and land prices are rising, and banks are willing to lend.
But if things go on like this now, what the bank considers is not to lend out, but to take back the loan.
Longfor's loans exceeded 10 billion, and there were also secured loans of more than 10 billion. Many people bought houses at the time of the peak housing prices.
The price is much higher than it is now, and many people have overdue loans.
Although there is a house as collateral, even if the house is taken back now, it cannot be sold.
Once there are more overdue loans, we have to pay them back, and I'm having a headache recently. "
Real estate companies are generally the largest loan guarantors. People who buy houses rarely pay in full, and most of them choose loans.
For a house sold for 10 billion yuan, the loan amount will be at least half of it.
Li Dong on Yuanfang didn't care about it before, that's because they didn't sell many houses and secured loans, so it didn't affect Yuanfang.
But companies like Longfor have been established for many years, and they have sold a lot of properties. For any large real estate company, the guaranteed loan will not be less than 10 billion.
Once the buyer can't pay back, the real estate company has to be responsible.
During the period, the real estate company had to repay the loan first, and then the court could enforce compulsory measures, and finally the house was auctioned.
But all of this takes time and needs to be paid in advance.
It was okay before, but doing it like this now is not something that can be done just by talking.
The market conditions were not good in the first place, and hundreds of millions or even billions of cash had to be advanced. When the money reaches the bank, it is not a matter of changing hands at this time, and it is very likely that they will not be able to get it back.
Without cash flow, what's the use of hoarding a large amount of land and real estate with bare hands, and just wait for death.
Seeing that Wu Yajun was worried, Li Dong couldn't help it.
He can't say that he supports her, can he?
Now Li Dong himself is very short of money, wishing that others would send him tens of billions, how can he care about Wu Yajun.
Fortunately, Wu Yajun is not an ordinary person. After a few words of emotion, he smiled and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about these unpleasant things today, not to mention that I can hold on here."
Longfor Real Estate is also a famous company in the mountain city, and the mountain city will not sit idly by if something goes wrong, so Wu Yajun still has some confidence.
Simply ignoring this matter, Wu Yajun continued: "Dongzi, I recently heard that your Dongyu side is entering the arena. Do you have any inside news?"
Li Dong glanced at her, these people have really sharp noses.
Wu Shengnan in Pingchuan had just made a move, and he just bought a few unremarkable pieces of land. He didn't expect this to be noticed.
Now that Wu Yajun found out about it, Li Dong didn't hide anything, he smiled and said: "Taking advantage of the low land price now, let's get some land for fun.
After all, real estate is related to people's livelihood. Even if there is a crisis, I don't think it will last long.
Over the years, GDP has been driven up by us. Even if we want to die, the government will not watch us die.
When I was in Huayuan, didn't Ren Dapao shoot at me?
I said at the time that I would suppress him every year, and I would never break my promise, and I would continue to suppress him next year. "
Wu Yajun laughed, but didn't ask any more questions.
It was because she had a good relationship with Li Dong that she said what she just said, otherwise she shouldn't have asked these words.
Afterwards, the two chatted briefly about the affairs of the mountain city, and at the end, Wu Yajun said: "Go early to the graduation reception tonight, we are the hosts, we have to receive the guests.
Go and help me, don't you feel wronged? "
"guest?"
Wu Yajun said with a speechless face: "Did you listen to what the dean said? Besides, didn't I tell you before? This time, some of the students from the previous class will come, and there will also be people from CEIBS."
Li Dong's eyes brightened slightly, "Okay, I'll go early at night."
Thinking of meeting some famous people in later generations at night, Li Dong became a little excited.
