Chapter 1718: Coming Soon
Early morning on the 3rd.
Li Dong got up very early.
The environment of the Shek O Peninsula is excellent, with the mountains on the back and the sea facing, and the trees are shady.
The villas are hidden between the mountains and the sea, and the faint sound of the waves can still be heard faintly.
Compared with East Garden, the environment in Shek O is more natural.
There are also mountains in the East Garden, but the trees on the mountains are not so green.
There is also a lake in the East Garden, but it is an artificial lake, unlike here, the sea is in front of it.
On the lawn in front of the villa, Li Dong finished punching a whole set of Wang Baquan created by himself, Tan Yong seemed to be there all the time, and at this moment he was watching boredly from the sidelines.
A long time ago, he introduced many talented people to Li Dong.
There are traditional Taijiquan masters, Sanda champions from the army, and martial arts performers with extremely good-looking routines.
Li Dong followed them and learned a little bit, but in the end, he learned something different. In the final analysis, in Tan Yong's view, there is not much difference between him and the gangsters who fight on the side of the road.
So, when the boss finished a set of punches triumphantly, what Tan Yong thought about the most was, he spent a lot of money to hire those guys, and the co-authorship was in vain in the end?
Tan Yong was thinking wildly, and most of the time, he knew he shouldn't think so much.
Maybe it's really old, old.
Maybe it's because Li Dong hasn't worked so hard recently, the boss has become lazy, and even he is a little lazy and can't lift his spirits.
He was cautious before, but every time he went out, Tan Yong's nerves would collapse.
But now, Tan Yong felt that he had fallen, and sometimes he wished that Li Dong would lie on the armchair and bask in the sun, so that he could find a place to bask in the sun and be dazed.
When he heard the slight sound of footsteps behind him, Tan Yong greeted softly without turning his head, "Morning Miss Yuan."
Yuan Xue used to have a habitual cold face, but now it may be because of her pregnancy, her complexion is much softer than before.
Wen Yan also greeted with a smile: "Morning Brother Tan."
After greeting,
There was no words for each other.
Yuan Xue is not a talkative person, similarly, Tan Yong is not talkative.
It wasn't until Li Dong came wiping his sweat that the silence was broken.
When we arrived last night, it was relatively late, and Li Dong and Yuan Xue didn't talk too much.
At this time, Li Dong smiled while wiping his sweat: "Why do you get up so early? Pregnant women should rest more."
A smile appeared on Yuan Xue's face, she shook her head and said, "It's only after sleeping for a long time that you lose energy, but you, after so many years, finally took a break, why did you wake up so early?"
Li Dong laughed and said: "I'm used to it, not to mention that if I don't exercise, I will have a belly.
In the future, the child will be a little bigger and the belly will be too big. I am afraid that I will not be able to hold the child.
So, good habits still need to be maintained. "
The two talked about commonplace things, and Li Dong helped Yuan Xue go to the side and sit down. After a while, the staff of the villa pushed the cart and brought breakfast.
The butler of the villa stood in a standard posture, nodding to Li Dong and Yuan Xue with a modest attitude.
This is a woman who is nearly forty years old. At first glance, she gives people a strong sense of affinity, which is very comfortable to look at.
In this villa, in addition to the private butler hired with a high salary, there is also a team led by her.
Two chefs, a pastry chef, two housekeepers, a babysitter, and herself make up the seven-member team.
In addition to them, the villa also has a driver and four bodyguards who are often invisible.
The team of more than ten people now only serves Yuan Xue alone.
Of course, when Li Dong comes, he needs to be added as the host.
Yuan Xue ate and ate, and suddenly laughed out loud, causing Li Dong to look up at her suspiciously.
Yuan Xue wiped her mouth, smiled brighter and said: "I just thought of my dad.
Not long after the new year, my father and my mother came to visit.
As a result, seeing my current situation, my mother didn't speak, and my father kept scolding you, basically you are a vicious capitalist or something like that.
Of course, scolding is worse than this.
Then I asked Sister Chen about the salary and benefits. In the end, my dad said that he couldn't support me, so don't ask him for money in the future. "
Li Dong couldn't help but laugh, Lao Yuan is not considered poor, at least his factory can still bring in hundreds of thousands of income a year.
But hundreds of thousands, even the salary of the current butler team can't afford it.
Li Dong could imagine Yuan Zhongqing's angry, angry and helpless expression.
Of course, at that time Li Dong had to be cursed at him, that was almost certain.
Yuan Xue finished laughing and said: "Of course, my dad also scolded me, and after scolding, he told me not to save you money, saying that you are a big dog, you are not short of money, and you can spend as much as you can.
By the way, my dad also said that when a child is born, the surname must be Yuan.
It's useless if you don't agree. He said that after the child is born, he will go back to his hometown to register. Anyway, my household registration is still with him, and he is the head of the family. "
Li Dong raised his eyebrows slightly, and said after a while: "Isn't it good to be surnamed Li?"
Yuan Xue looked at him and smiled and said, "I don't care, but if I get registered with your family, then I can be named Li, otherwise I will follow my father's orders."
Li Dong thought for a while, and said: "The surname is Yuan, you can just pretend that I am in the door."
"Give up defeat so easily?" Yuan Xue joked, "I thought you would stick your neck out and say that if you don't have the surname Li, you don't want it."
While eating breakfast, Li Dong said with a smile: "It's not that feudal tradition, Uncle Yuan finally calmed down a little bit, now you have to compete with him, isn't it just looking for trouble?
It doesn't matter what the last name is, as long as it is my species. "
"Are you sure it's your seed?" Yuan Xue said with a smile.
Li Dong's face turned dark, and he said in a bad mood: "Unless you women can also breed, if you really want to do this, I will admit it!"
"Pfft..."
Yuan Xue smiled brightly, but Li Dong quickly patted her on the back, and said helplessly, "Don't laugh, there is another one in your belly, is it so funny?"
Yuan Xue ignored him, and smiled for a while, then recovered her composure after a while, and continued: "Sometimes I really feel like a princess in a fairy tale, living in a big castle.
It was just a fantasy back then, but I don't want it to become a reality now. "
Li Dong just wanted to answer, Yuan Xue said again: "Actually, there is no need to always feel sorry for me, this is my own choice, I said a long time ago, I am an adult, I will be responsible for my own choice.
I told my parents this, and it's the same for you.
There is no need to feel that you owe me, every time you think this way, the distance between us will actually increase by one point.
You want the best for me and make me happy and satisfied.
Just like this house, I'm afraid you haven't lived in such a mansion before, have you?
Of course, if you give it to me, I will take it, if it makes you feel happier.
If you feel that spending some material things can make this guilt dissipate, that's what I want to see.
But I don't want this kind of emotion to keep accumulating, until one day, when you feel that you owe me too much and feel ashamed, it will probably be the time when you disappear.
And this result is not what I hope to see.
It's just plain, come and chat with me when you have time, look at the scenery, and talk about small household things, that's good.
Or if I have time, it would be nice to go to Pingchuan to see you. "
Li Dong looked at Yuan Xue, saw her serious face, and smiled after a while: "Okay, but it's more than that, there is a lot to do between men and women."
Yuan Xue didn't blush, and said lightly, "I'm afraid you are weak and weak..."
"Go away, I'm in good health!"
Li Dong shook his head helplessly. When women don't blush for these things, men should be powerless.
...
Perhaps it was because of Yuan Xue's words that Li Dong naturally felt a lot better.
On the first day here, Li Dong felt like being a guest.
But from the second day on, Li Dong really regarded himself as the master.
In the villa, Li Dong received the fund manager of the private fund company and chose to stay in the villa instead of going to the company. Presumably the smart fund manager understood what he meant.
Li Dong didn't ask about the future investment direction or management plan, but simply chatted for a while, and the meeting between the two parties ended.
Before leaving, this executive who jumped from Citigroup wisely did not invite Li Dong, but invited Yuan Xue to visit the company when he had time.
Or when he is free, he can come to report some work.
And Yuan Xue also readily agreed that the meeting was a complete success.
They are all smart people, needless to say too directly, everyone knows what to do next.
Li Dong stayed in Xiangjiang for nearly a week, during which time he went to the golf course next door and played a few rounds with some strangers.
Yuan Xue accompanied him quietly, and Li Dong's golf friends who had just met were wise enough not to ask who Yuan Xue was.
The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, maybe it is very suitable to be used here.
These golfers are not ordinary people, of course, so is Li Dong.
Everyone talked a lot, but they didn't talk about specific business, specific cooperation, but simply regarded each other as golf friends.
When Li Dong and the others were playing, Yuan Xue in the rest area sometimes chatted with the actress who was also pregnant. However, this mixed-race beauty will soon go to the United States to give birth, and the two parties will probably not have much in the future. opportunities for communication.
Of course, Li Dong knew better that shortly after this production, the two parties would part ways.
But this has nothing to do with him, just like the little Superman who played with him, did not mention the grievances between Li Dong and Changjiang.
Li Dong's reputation in Xiangjiang, Teng Xun's listing is only second, in fact, it is mainly based on Lao Li's reputation, the key is that Baijia was forcibly won by Yuanfang.
But businessmen, especially those who are determined to get rid of the influence of the family, don't care too much about this.
Many friends have many paths. For a friend like Li Dong, make friends as soon as you can. Even if you can't become friends, it's best not to become enemies.
Therefore, the two sides had a very happy conversation, and there was no situation of tense situation.
...
It was not until April 10 that Li Dong embarked on his way back.
During this period, the mainland business community has turned against the sky.
While Li Dong was playing golf quietly and taking a walk with Yuan Xue, many major events happened in the mainland business circles.
The first major event is the dispute over Vanke's shareholding.
Xu Shengzhe has won the support of China Construction Engineering and Baoneng, and holds 46% of Vanke's equity and voting rights.
This guy may have been influenced by Li Dong's words. The first thing he did was to go straight to the Shenzhen market and jointly issue a notice to Vanke with Baoneng.
what announcement?
Xu Shengzhe was probably sure that he couldn't hold down that smelly and hard stone, and the first thing he said in the announcement was to reorganize the board of directors.
How to restructure?
It is inevitable to get out. Vanke's No. 2 person, general manager Yu Liang, left or left without giving an accurate answer. In fact, Xu Shengzhe was waiting for the other party to surrender.
If you don't come to surrender, let Yu Liang and Lao Wang go out together.
As for the other board members, Xu Shengzhe didn't dare to let them all go, but more than half of them would be kicked out of the team.
As soon as the announcement came out, it naturally aroused Vanke's fierce resistance.
Vanke's board of directors strongly opposed the restructuring proposal, 8 of the 11 directors voted against it, and Vanke directly chose to suspend trading.
Weibo and forums have become the center of the battle between the two sides.
Many Vanke executives spoke in their real names, absolutely not supporting Longhua's taking over, let alone allowing the company's soul, Pharaoh, to leave.
However, Longhua and Baoneng jointly held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. At the general meeting, the two parties joined forces with some small shareholders to complete the dismissal of Lao Wang as chairman.
However, the resolution of the general meeting of shareholders did not allow Vanke's board of directors to compromise, and the two sides engaged in a tug-of-war.
Lao Wang was also unwilling to be forcibly driven away under such circumstances. All kinds of public prosecutions and public opinions came out one after another. When Li Dong arrived in Shenzhen, the two sides had not yet finished fighting. and the support of the SEC.
Although the general meeting of shareholders is the highest decision-making level of the group, the board of directors is the operating organization of the group.
At this time, the two sides could not reach an agreement, and peace could not be implemented. Xu Shengzhe could not bring people to forcefully drive away Old Wang and the others.
If this is the case, Vanke is likely to break out large-scale civil strife, which is not what Xu Shengzhe wants to see.
This time Vanke's board of directors objected too strongly, and it also allowed many companies to see the authority of the board of directors for the first time.
At this time, what if Longhua and Baoneng become the largest shareholders?
If the board of directors cannot be completely settled, Longhua may also be in trouble at this time.
...
Shenzhen.
Li Dong saw Xu Shengzhe with a tired and resentful face.
The first time this guy saw Li Dong, he was extremely sad and said: "You made me crazy once, and I was crazy, but now it's better, what should I do?"
Li Dong almost sprayed him on the face, and said with black lines all over his face: "I made you crazy, I didn't make you stupid!
Knowing that Lao Wang is still there, and the board of directors is still in his hands, you actually force him to leave at this time. Isn't it just looking for trouble? "
Li Dong was speechless, and sighed: "It's rare for a major shareholder to be forced into such a situation.
Can't you just take your time?
Slowly is better at this time, why do you have to drive Lao Wang away at this time.
First reorganize the board of directors, with the equity you control, don't let Lao Wang get out. If it's just a simple reorganization, it's no problem to get three or four people in, right?
The board of directors is not monolithic. It is so simple to pull a few and fight a few.
When the board of directors is settled later, Lao Wang still doesn't let you rub it round and flat.
It's all right now, it's become such a trouble, and everyone knows it, I'll see what you do. "
Xu Shengzhe smiled bitterly: "You think I'm stupid? You think I don't know this?
But time waits for no one, Vanke is still in the hands of Lao Wang. I heard that he will soon adopt poison pill tactics and plans for acquisition and reorganization.
Once this happens, I finally got the status of major shareholder, and I may lose it soon.
At this time, I can only forcibly dissolve the board of directors.
Otherwise, I really don't have the funds to continue to increase my holdings, and Baoneng may also be shaken.
You said, what can I do at this time?
Although it is tearing his face now, it is better than letting his plan pass. "
Li Dong glanced at him, and said after a while: "Then what are you going to do next?"
Xu Shengzhe breathed out, gritted his teeth and said, "I can't do anything now, if he refuses to leave, then I will force him to leave!
Don't even think about passing any of the resolutions of the board of directors or the shareholders' meeting!
This is his painstaking effort, I don't believe he can really give up.
After a long period of time, the entire Vanke cannot operate. I wonder if he can sit still?
Whether to let Vanke go, or let me take over, at that time, he will naturally have a choice.
At that time, the board of directors will not continue to listen to him. Should he leave with infamy, or leave at this time, how do you think he will choose? "
Li Dong pondered for a moment when he heard the words, then smiled and said: "You shouldn't have said that to me, you should have told Old Wang, be more aggressive, don't hesitate, it's just that cruel!
If he doesn't leave, you will make Vanke unable to operate.
This trick works well for them, of course, it also depends on the person.
If you change to an old horse, he won't do it, and you will lose a lot at that time.
But Lao Wang will probably compromise. If he was willing to let Vanke die, he would not have made such a choice many years ago.
This matter cannot be delayed, and it will be your loss if it is delayed.
If I were you, I would go to Lao Wang now, and my attitude must be firm, and I don't need to wait for the resolution of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, otherwise accidents will easily occur if it is delayed.
Tell Lao Wang face to face, if Vanke doesn't want to die, let him move.
If you don’t want to feel sorry for those employees who hold shares, resume operation as soon as possible, or in the end, Vanke’s stock price will fall below the issue price, making all employees hate him and resent him.
Years of painstaking efforts instantly vanished.
As for you, you are an outsider anyway, and the only thing you lose is money, so what are you afraid of, Longhua is still there anyway.
Otherwise, even if you let him stay this time and let him complete his plan, and you lose your position as a major shareholder again, that's fine. You tell him to sell stocks on a large scale after the deadline.
Anyway, no matter how bad it is for Vanke, you just spend time with him and ask him if he is afraid!
Still the same sentence, just gamble directly, you have reached this point, the money has been spent, and the price has been paid. If you don’t give way at this time, you are the enemy of life and death. What are you hesitating about. "
Xu Shengzhe hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and finally nodded heavily, exhaling: "You are right, at this time, I still have no reason to hesitate!
I'll go look for him in the afternoon, if he doesn't leave, I'll fight him to the death with a crushing heart!
If I really thought that this shareholder came for nothing, it was in exchange for tens of billions!
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the enemy of life and death! "
Xu Shengzhe stiffened again. If he still can't handle Pharaoh at this time, then he will be really sorry for the money he spent, the price and favor he paid.
He didn't seem to have paid anything just to get Li Dong to come forward, but it was a favor, and a debt of favor was more troublesome than money.
In fact, before coming to Li Dong, he had already made a decision.
However, over the past few years, he likes to listen to Li Dong's opinion when he is indecisive. Now that Li Dong said so, he has made up his mind.
Having made up his mind, Xu Shengzhe didn't stay any longer, and soon left the hotel and went straight to Vanke.
Li Dong didn't care about him. At this time, he still couldn't deal with Old Wang. It was Xu Shengzhe's own incompetence, but the possibility of Lao Wang's compromise was as high as 90%, so there was no need to worry too much.
What Li Dong really cares about is Yuanfang's own affairs.
By April, the listing of Yuanfang Retail has reached a critical stage.
In the past few days when he was away, Vanke's matter was the most discussed in the business world, and the second major event was the listing of Yuanfang Retail.
The China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Shanghai Stock Exchange have passed the review, and Yuanfang officially released the prospectus.
Soon, there will be a roadshow here in the distance.
The first stop is the Shanghai stock market. This time the listing is also on the Shanghai stock market. The Shenzhen Stock Exchange is mainly for small and medium-sized enterprises. Large enterprises need to go to the Shanghai stock market to go public with an issued share capital of more than 80 million shares.
Originally, Li Dong planned to go back to Pingchuan, but now that the first IPO roadshow is coming soon, even if Li Dong doesn't care about the company's affairs, he still has to go and see it at this time.
The listing of Yuanfang Retail is no small matter. There are not many trillion-dollar conglomerates in China. At this time, he does not show up. I am afraid that there will be little discussion from the outside world.
Not in the mood to care about Vanke anymore, Li Dong simply tidied up, and took people to the Shanghai stock market without stopping to prepare for the listing.
