Chapter 266: I really didn't want to cut leeks

When poor, cultivate one's own virtue; when rich, benefit the world.

It is true that merchants aim for profit, but if possible, who wouldn't want to earn money standing up, and make those who had money taken from their pockets feel good about the money-earner, instead of being cursed with "no asshole for giving birth to a child" all over the sky.

For 22-year-old Du Guoying, who came from a teaching background, it was true that he wanted to make money, but he still maintained the restraint of a cultured person. Li Dongling's "Confucian merchant" simply spoke to his heart.

For Du Guoying, why wouldn't he want to return home in glory years later, and have his relatives, old friends, former colleagues, and students he taught be proud of him, instead of being ashamed to be with him!

"Confucian merchant!"

"Earn money standing up!"

At this moment, Du Guoying only had these two sentences in his mind. According to what Li Dongling said, Beibeijia needed to be re-invested in R&D, and part of the profits would have to be given out in the future to insurance companies and the Beibeijia Foundation to guard against accidents.

This would make Beibeijia's profits far from being as high as they were now. If Beibeijia was priced at 300 yuan, according to the current sales, the profit wouldn't dare to say 100%, but 60% or 70% was definitely there.

And at that time, the General Manager of Oak International was exactly Hu Yujun, who was sitting here today. As one of the founders of Diweisi, Hu Yujun was also pulled over by Oak International because of Diweisi's decline. It was no wonder that Hu Yujun had a feeling of "meeting an old friend" when he saw Du Guoying just now. The two were "pearl-curtain combined" in the previous life, double knives combined into one, and made the sharpest "leek-cutting" artifact in the country...

Li Dongling was just saying this casually. In the previous life, Beibeijia was shouted at by everyone, but a certain brand of waist protector was selling hot. But the same words, just like Beibeijia back then, the publicity of the waist protector was also only publicizing the benefits, not the disadvantages.

Du Guoying and Hu Yujun, who were preparing to leave the shooting range, nodded to the crown prince of Sanzhu, Wu Ying, and others when passing by the lounge, and then left.

When Hu Yujun and Du Guoying left, their faces were full of satisfaction. They both got a big cake from Li Dongling. Once people have a goal, they will no longer be confused. People are not afraid of darkness, but afraid of the unknown in the darkness. If they know what is ahead, even if it is a ten-thousand-foot cliff, they will try every means to climb over it!

Li Dongling shook his head gently. If you want to talk about cutting leeks, then relying on Focus Media to invest in companies like Diweisi and Tianjin Yipin, the leeks could probably be cut, and the sickle could be cut dull.

But if you follow Li Dongling's set of rules, everything is done according to formal procedures, then Beibeijia's profits may slide to at most about 30%, or even less, and it no longer belongs to a particularly profiteering product.

Seeing Du Guoying and the two leave, Wu Ying and Wu Siwei in the lounge looked at each other. Both of them, who were of the same surname 500 years ago, were speculating about who Li Dongling would see next.

"Manager Wu, please!"

Su Chicheng seemed to be able to feel the gaze of Wu Siwei behind him that seemed to be able to devour people, but he still stretched out his hand towards Wu Ying.

Wu Ying was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes couldn't help but look at Wu Siwei. A thought arose in his heart: the gods are fighting. He didn't know the reason, but clearly, there was a posture of arm-wrestling between the two giants in different fields, Dongling Gao Ke and Sanzhu.

But this kind of "gods fighting" thing was not something he could participate in. After Wu Ying got up, he and Lu Hongliang got up and followed Su Chicheng away.

As veterans and old ministers of the Sanzhu company, Qiao Dejing and Du Wenzan knew the temper of their crown prince. At this time, they looked at Wu Siwei with fear, fearing that this master would make a big fight here. If this made news, it would probably cause an uproar in the entire country.

Qiao Dejing wanted to persuade Wu Siwei, but was a bit afraid. If Wu Siwei really got angry, even his old man Wu Bingxin couldn't control this crown prince. It would be strange if he, an old minister of the Wu family, was useful.

Sneering, Wu Siwei didn't seem to be angry at all, and said quietly to Qiao Dejing and Du Wenzan on the left and right, "It seems that this Mr. Li of Dongling Gao Ke doesn't want to see us!"

Wu Siwei lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, but the whole person relaxed, crossed one leg, and leaned on the chair.

But Li Dongling had already made the attitude of keeping Sanzhu out of the door, but he didn't expect Wu Siwei to be so stubborn, actually insisting on seeing him.

Although Wu Siwei's temper wasn't good, he wasn't brainless. Sanzhu was steered by Wu Bingxin, but Wu Bingxin was good at marketing strategies, was a good hand at advertising, and had a good overall view. He could see opportunities and lead the Wu family to soar in the health supplement industry.

Wu Ying and Lu Hongliang threw a lot of flattering words at Li Dongling as soon as they saw him.

Placed on Dongling Gao Ke's management, it was even more so. Sanzhu's annual revenue of 8 billion, so what? It didn't pay taxes to Hanxi. Besides, the taxes paid by Dongling Gao Ke were more than Sanzhu's, and it also earned a large amount of foreign exchange. If Hanxi didn't help the local "God of Wealth," would it help an outsider?

Wu Ying and Lu Hongliang put their attitude very low when they saw Li Dongling, even lower than when they saw Masayoshi Son back then.

But what surprised Qiao Dejing was that for Li Dongling's attitude of preferring to see two "nobodies" first, then see UTStarcom's people, and not wanting to see them from the Sanzhu company, Wu Siwei was angry first, and then suddenly calmed down.

In the health supplement industry, in the future, when later generations open this crazy history, Sanzhu is a name that cannot be bypassed, and the names of the Wu family father and son will definitely be on the list.

Glancing at Du Wenzan and the two, Wu Siwei spat out a smoke, "Don't worry, I didn't do things so roughly. In these years, have I done anything that made you, or that Teacher Wu of yours, disappointed?!"

If he didn't know how high the market value of Yahoo would rise after listing in the future, for this wave of SoftBank's entry, throwing 100 million dollars to Yahoo and getting 33% of Yahoo's equity, also pushing Yahoo's valuation to a shocking 300 million dollars, the value of Yahoo equity held by the Knowledge Foundation would also soar. Li Dongling said that he might thank SoftBank for helping to lift the sedan chair.

Now, Li Dongling made this gesture. In fact, he had already thanked the guests. He didn't want to see Wu Siwei. Under normal circumstances, Wu Siwei should have left angrily with people.

Lu Hongliang said with a smile, "In this way, it is really a hero's view, and SoftBank of Director Masayoshi Son also invested in Yahoo. Speaking of which, everyone is 'one of our own'!"

"Bang!"

Li Dongling really didn't want to see Wu Siwei. He wouldn't touch the health supplement industry. There were so many industries to make money, why did he have to drill into a controversial industry.

Opening the history books, but anyone who can leave a little bit of ink in the history books, whether it is praise or criticism, can never be an incompetent person. You can say a person in the history books is bad, but you can never question his ability.

Hearing Lu Hongliang mention this, Li Dongling just said expressionlessly, "The Knowledge Foundation can't compare to SoftBank's big hand!"

"I have long heard of Mr. Li's great name, and today I finally see the true face. It is really well-deserved!"

"Before coming to Hanxi this time, we also talked to Director Masayoshi Son of UTStarcom's SoftBank on the phone, and he is also very looking forward to meeting Mr. Li and tasting wine and discussing the Dao together!"

"I just want to see that Li Dongling. I want to ask him a few questions face to face, otherwise I won't be able to sleep!" Wu Siwei threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it hard.

But because Li Dongling was clear about Yahoo's violent performance in the previous life, he didn't have much joy for SoftBank's investment in Yahoo. After all, SoftBank got so much Yahoo equity, and the Yahoo equity held by the Knowledge Foundation was diluted. Li Dongling couldn't be happy. This was related to the huge amount of US dollars in the future!

Before, the Knowledge Foundation exchanged 300,000 dollars for 10% of Yahoo's equity. Now, with SoftBank's entry, this equity was diluted to 7.6%.

"I heard that the Knowledge Foundation established by Mr. Li also invested in an American internet company, Yahoo?"

Du Wenzan also couldn't help but earnestly say to Wu Siwei. Wu Siwei, who had been fighting with front-line ground-pushing sales staff all year round and had fought with other health supplement companies to grab territory, acted with a bit of banditry. Otherwise, how could he suppress the scene? He was afraid that Wu Siwei would make some big things.

"Manager Wu, here is Pingyang, the Hanxi of Dongling Gao Ke's headquarters, not the Jin Ling and Shandong where our Sanzhu is. It's better not to have a conflict, so as not to cause trouble!"

For Sanzhu and other health supplement brands, Dongling Gao Ke and its companies, including Focus Media, will not cooperate in the future. There is no doubt about this. To be honest, advertising for Sanzhu is not as good as advertising for Du Guoying's "Haojixing" and "Xiaoguancha"...

Hearing Wu Ying and Lu Hongliang mention Masayoshi Son, Li Dongling was noncommittal. In the next ten years, it would be Masayoshi Son's high-light moment. Although he only served as the richest man for one day, the success of investing in Yahoo and Alibaba made him the top risk investor in the world. If not necessary, I am afraid no one wants to be an opponent with such a person.

Qiao Dejing felt that the gloomy Wu Siwei was even more frightening than the angry him.

Wu Bingxin sat in the Sanzhu headquarters, truly leading those 150,000 sales staff of Sanzhu to fight the world, fighting with other various Sun God, Fengtian Feilong, Giant Brain Gold, China Turtle Essence, Angli, and other health brand companies, and it was Wu Siwei who took down the health supplement market in the streets and alleys of the country from cities to villages. How could he be an incompetent person.

But now, Wu Siwei didn't mean to leave at all, but sat there leisurely, making Qiao Dejing unable to guess his meaning.
