Chapter Nine Hundred and Sixty Seven

As one of the second-tier cities, Guancheng has strong comprehensive strength.

The urban area of ​​Guancheng is even more prosperous than the urban area of ​​Pingchuan, but it is not as spacious as Pingchuan.

In comparison, the pace of life in Guancheng is faster, and Li Dong still prefers Pingchuan.

When Chen Mingyong invited Li Dong to dinner, the place he chose was naturally not too bad.

According to Chen Mingyong, the Cantonese cuisine here is the most authentic and tastes the best.

The group got out of the car, and Chen Mingyong helped introduce them.

It's not just the three of them eating this time.

When Li Dong came to Guangdong Province, he brought a lot of people with him, and Chen Mingyong also brought a few senior executives to accompany him.

A few people were about to enter the door when suddenly another car stopped behind.

Li Dong turned his head and looked, and saw a fat middle-aged woman, with a big smile on her face, leading a few people with their heads back to the hotel.

Li Dong didn't pay attention at first, but Chen Mingyong next to him lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Zhang from Nine Dragons."

"she?"

Li Dong was a little surprised, he didn't expect to meet Zhang Ying here.

This one is not simple, a frequent visitor to the Hurun List, if it wasn't for Yang Huiyan last year, she would have been the richest man in China.

Even so, she beat Huang Guangyu and others to become the second richest man in the business world.

But now, Li Dong didn't feel it at all.

Zhang Ying dressed very plainly, and she didn't look imposing at all. She flattered and flattered the few people in front of her who seemed to be government officials.

Li Dong raised his eyebrows slightly, and lowered his voice, "Who is Mr. Zhang inviting to dinner?"

He originally thought that the person who could make Zhang Ying so flattering must be a bigwig in Guangdong Province.

But who knows, Chen Mingyong on the side said with some disdain: "The group of people from the Federation of Trade Unions."

This time Li Dong was really surprised. Zhang Ying is also the top richest man in the country, no matter how low-key he is, he can't be so low-key.

There has always been a lot of intersection between the political and business circles, but the trade union has little real power, and if it were in Jiangbei, Li Dong would not care.

Unexpectedly, in Guangdong Province, even a rich man like Zhang Ying would be so flattering to people from the trade union.

As if seeing Li Dong's confusion, Chen Mingyong sighed softly: "In normal times, Mr. Zhang might not be willing to talk to them, but it's different now.

Not long ago, something happened to Nine Dragons, and it was on the list of sweatshops.

Zhang finally stumbled, she was the most famous, and the other people's attack targets were naturally her.

Now the government is silent, only the trade unions are willing to stand up for them.

Usually the trade union has nothing to do with workers' affairs, but at this time, without the support of the trade union, Nine Dragons may have a hard time. "

Chen Mingyong said that Li Dong finally remembered this.

No wonder Zhang Ying is so low-key now, and it's okay not to be low-key. Nine Dragons really stumbled this time, or they deserved it.

Li Dong didn't feel sympathy for Zhang Ying's fate.

At Nine Dragons, the treatment and benefits for workers are very poor. The environment of the paper mill is already poor, and they even have to trade their health for performance.

As a result, Nine Dragons also squeezed the surplus value of workers.

Now Zhang Ying has been given the title of "sweatshop owner", and this reputation is considered a stink.

Domestic rich people, especially those in the top ranks, even if they are notorious outside, but internally, the employees of their own companies generally praise too much.

Whether it is Huang Guangyu or others, their family background may not be very clean, but I have to say that in their own company, employees have a strong sense of belonging and honor, and most of them admire these big bosses.

But Nine Dragons is different. Zhang Ying's family has amazing wealth, but they still want to squeeze the benefits of grassroots employees for petty profits.

This also caused that, even if Zhang Ying is one of the most wealthy people in the country, there are not many people who are really willing to stand up for her.

When it comes to business, at Li Dong's level, everyone knows what money should be saved and what money should not be saved.

If it were the other predators in the top ten on the ranking list, they would never encounter such a thing this time, even if they did,

No one will stand up and help speak.

At least Li Dong believed that if such a thing happened to Yuanfang, the Jiangbei government would not sit idly by.

It's a pity that Guangdong Province really didn't help much this time.

On the one hand, there are too many famous enterprises in Guangdong Province, and on the other hand, what Nine Dragons did this time is also disgusting, and even the government is unwilling to speak for it.

Zhang Ying's encounter made Li Dong feel even more deeply.

You need to be hard on your own to make iron. Although the power of capital is strong, but if you have a shit on your own ass, no matter how much capital you have, it is nothing more than pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Only if one's own foundation is strong enough, coupled with strong capital and extensive contacts, is this a long-term solution.

Otherwise, just having money is not enough. No matter how much money you have, there are a lot of black materials, and some people can't help you if they want to bless you.

Just like the one in Wenchuan, Li Dong’s donation to the school did not save people, but these alone were not enough for the boss to praise him as "the backbone of the nation".

At least Li Dong himself is strong enough, and his money came in an aboveboard manner.

There are traces to follow every step of his career.

Because of this, someone is willing to give him shelter and support him.

Seeing Zhang Ying bowing his knees, Li Dong felt a step deeper.

Hu Wanlin reminded him last time, and now Zhang Ying reminded him that strength is not only about money, hard power and soft power are equal, this is real power.

While the few people were talking, Zhang Ying and those from the labor union also arrived.

Although Chen Mingyong is not strong now, he is still a billionaire, and everyone is in Guancheng. Zhang Ying still knows him.

Seeing that Chen Mingyong was entertaining guests here, Zhang Ying smiled at him and said, "Mr. Chen, long time no see."

Chen Mingyong also responded. At this time, several members of the trade union also recognized him, and quickly smiled: "Mr. Chen, what a coincidence, let's have a drink together later?"

They seemed to be more polite to Chen Mingyong than to Zhang Ying.

At this time, someone in the trade union seemed to recognize Li Dong, his eyes moved slightly, and he whispered something to the leader.

The leader's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "This is Director Li from Yuanfang Group?"

Li Dong heard the words and said politely: "I am Li Dong, you are..."

"Hello, Mr. Li, I'm Wang He from the Guangdong Provincial Federation of Trade Unions..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Mingyong added with a smile: "It's President Wang of the Federation of Trade Unions."

Li Dong stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "President Wang, I'm sorry, it's my first time in Guangdong Province, I'm ignorant, forgive me."

"Dong Li is too polite."

Wang He quickly reached out to shake his hand, and then greeted him with a smile on his face.

Li Dong accompanied him for a while, then greeted Zhang Ying, and then entered the hotel with Chen Mingyong.

Wang He and the others didn't leave first, and only stepped into the hotel after they left.

Looking at Li Dong's back, Zhang Ying looked a little sad.

She and Li Dong are supposed to be entrepreneurs of the same level, and Guangdong Province is still her home field.

As a result, now that Li Dong is here, the vice president next to him is not polite to him.

On the other hand, he was obviously not weaker than other people, and he was much stronger than Chen Mingyong, but in the end he was not much different from passers-by.

Even Chen Mingyong can be reserved in front of this vice president, but she is not even qualified to be reserved.

The more she thought about it, the more depressed Zhang Ying became.

In her heart, she hated those people from her husband's family even more. In fact, there are some things she doesn't know, but Nine Dragons is still a family business.

Many relatives of the husband's family work in the company.

The reason why this happened this time is actually mostly caused by those people.

It's not that Zhang Ying doesn't know, it's just that she always cared about her family and didn't care about it.

But now, she is one of the top three tycoons in the country. In order to settle this matter, she bows down to others, and even her colleagues in the business world look down on her.

Zhang Ying was able to create such a large family business, and it was not because she was really brainless.

Thinking of Li Dong's indifference just now, President Wang's flattery, and Chen Mingyong's respect...

A thought faintly rose in Zhang Ying's heart, perhaps, kicking out all those people would be the best ending.

As for whether her husband would be angry, Zhang Ying gritted her teeth and struggled for decades, not to prodigal them.

If you really want to be dissatisfied, the big deal is divorce!

...

Li Dong didn't know, because this meeting made Zhang Ying have this idea.

This is also one of the disadvantages of family businesses. In many cases, favors outweigh rules.

There is no such trouble here in the distance. The Li family doesn't have many relatives, and there are even fewer immediate relatives.

Parents don't care about Li Dong's business, and other people are not qualified to take care of it, and Li Dong won't let them intervene.

So from the very beginning, Li Dong was less constrained.

Up to now, Li Dong is still wishing that the Li family can produce a few talents and help him a little bit.

It's a pity that in the Li family, Li Nanming is a waste material, and Li Qing is a woman who doesn't have much knowledge, so he is quite satisfied with living his own life.

He couldn't find any talented people, let alone someone going to a distant place to cause trouble for Li Dong.

Thinking of this, Li Dong couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

If Zhang Ying knew about his intentions, he might have the desire to vomit blood. It's a pity that she now wishes that all those seven aunts and eight aunts would get out of here!

During the meal, Chen Mingyong and Li Dong also briefly chatted about Zhang Ying's experience.

Both of them sighed a little, and became more vigilant.

After dinner, Chen Mingyong took the initiative to suggest: "Mr. Li, since you are in Guancheng this time, you should stay for a few more days.

Tomorrow, I will accompany you around. Some features of Guancheng are quite interesting. "

When Chen Mingyong talked about the characteristics, Li Dong accidentally thought of the "service industry" in Guancheng.

The "service industry" in Guancheng was not so well-known at the beginning, but after a major cleaning, the whole country knew about it.

Later, Guancheng's well-developed electronics manufacturing industry was forgotten, but became synonymous with the whole country in the "service industry".

Thinking of this, Li Dong couldn't help but take a look at Chen Mingyong. Could this guy be planning to take him to such a place?

Chen Mingyong didn't know what he was thinking, if he knew it, he would definitely call him wronged.

He took Li Dong to that kind of place when his head was flooded. Li Dong was so rich that no woman could be found, so he needed him to take Li Dong to spend time and drink.

Besides, the relationship between the two has not reached this stage.

Chen Mingyong didn't want to leave a bad impression on Li Dong's side. After all, Opal would probably have to rely on afar for development.
