Chapter 433: Wealth Covering the World's Heart

~12 min read 2,249 words

"Li Zong, I finally waited for you to come!"

Seeing Li Dongling, Duan Yufeng was overjoyed. He was afraid that Li Dongling would not be willing to come to cheer for Founder's listing.

Li Dongling saw that the senior executives of Founder had basically arrived in full force, including Academician Wang Xuan.

"Li Zong, let me introduce you. This is Zhang Xuanlong, president of Founder Xiangjiang Company. The Malaysian Founder Company was also established by Zhang Zong. Founder wouldn't be where it is today without the great contributions made by Manager Zhang!"

Duan Yufeng pointed to a man in a suit and leather shoes who looked gentle and refined, and the intention of wooing was almost overflowing.

Founder is about to go public, but the inside is still surging. Duan Yufeng is constantly wooing various mountain heads within Founder, wanting to monopolize power, but a considerable number of people support Academician Wang Xuan. Although the two sides haven't torn their faces yet, two major camps have already appeared.

A large part of Founder's overseas business is done by Zhang Xuanlong, and he also has considerable influence within Founder. Duan Yufeng naturally wants to woo Zhang Xuanlong.

But at Zhang Xuanlong's status, he obviously wouldn't easily stand in line. Like Li Dongling, he actually didn't want to intervene too much in the dispute between these two major factions within Founder.

Seeing Li Dongling, Zhang Xuanlong looked quite enthusiastic, "Li Zong, I've heard of your name for a long time."

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Li Zong for solving the urgent need of Jinshan. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain to Bojun!"

Zhang Xuanlong is also a major shareholder of Jinshan. Many companies in Zhongguancun related to computers have more or less to do with Zhang Xuanlong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the title of Godfather of Zhongguancun. Of course, there are quite a few people with this title...

Jinshan was short of money several times before, and he helped raise it, but this time, Zhang Xuanlong looked for a long time and didn't find a big gold master for Jinshan, which was rumored to be unable to hold on.

Zhang Xuanlong was ready to use his connections to let Sitong and Legend invest in Jinshan, when the news of Li Dongling's investment in Jinshan came out, which also let Zhang Xuanlong breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Dongling chatted with Zhang Xuanlong for a few words. Duan Yufeng pointed to a person beside him and said to Li Dongling solemnly, "This is Liang Botao, president of Peregrine, and Peregrine is also the sponsor of Founder's listing!"

"Welcome Li Zong!"

Liang Botao smiled and stretched out his hand to Li Dongling, "I've heard of Li Zong's name for a long time. This time, you must stay in Xiangjiang for a few more days, so that I can fulfill the friendship of a landlord!"

Sitong, Legend, plus this Founder, were all listed by Liang Botao and Peregrine. He has also been paying close attention to the domestic industry, and in the past few years, where can the domestic technology industry bypass Dongling Gao Ke?

Compared to Sitong and Legend, Liang Botao actually hoped to introduce Dongling Gao Ke to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. If he could really do it, Liang Botao felt that Peregrine might create a new miracle in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange or even the Asian stock market!

"Miss Ning Wanke, Dongling Gao Ke is in Xiangjiang's..."

"A heroine who doesn't let her eyebrows be shaved, who in Xiangjiang doesn't know the name of President Ning!"

Liang Botao, Zhang Xuanlong, and others said with a smile. They didn't have much contact with Ning Wanke, but they had heard rumors about Ning Wanke more or less.

"This gentleman, I don't know your surname?" Duan Yufeng saw Zhao Shinan standing on the side with an incorrect expression and asked Li Dongling.

Hearing Duan Yufeng's words, Zhao Shinan's face was even uglier. In fact, the moment he saw Liang Botao, Zhao Shinan felt a bit bad in his heart.

Originally, Zhao Shinan didn't want Ning Wanke, a person whom wealthy families in Xiangjiang all wanted to marry, to be snatched away by others, and wanted to let Li Dongling "know the difficulties and retreat."

Zhao Shinan thought that Li Dongling might have some background, but thinking that this is Xiangjiang, according to the mentality of Xiangjiang people now, mainlanders, whether they are bosses with some net worth coming to do business or ordinary people coming to Xiangjiang, are all making a living. As a local native, Zhao Shinan has a psychological advantage.

No matter who comes, if it's a dragon, it has to coil, and if it's a tiger, it has to lie down. They all have to follow the rules. Zhao Shinan felt that with his connections and resources in Xiangjiang for so many years, it was enough to handle Li Dongling.

And the most important point is that he didn't want to let this "fat meat" of the Ning family fall into the hands of others. If it were someone from those wealthy families in Xiangjiang, Zhao Shinan would have retreated, but seeing Li Dongling from the mainland, he still wanted to fight for it. Wine and color confuse the eyes, wealth covers the world's heart. Sometimes when facing huge interests, even if you know there is a pit in front, some people will still jump down with their eyes open...

But when he saw Liang Botao, Zhao Shinan felt a bit cold in his heart. Liang Botao might not have an impression of him, but he recognized Liang Botao and knew Liang Botao's identity.

However, seeing Liang Botao, Zhao Shinan still had some luck, but seeing Liang Botao's attitude towards Li Dongling, he died completely.

Li Dongling glanced at Zhao Shinan, and the image of the elegant gentleman could no longer be maintained, revealing an expression that was not much better than crying.

"I'm not familiar with this Mr. Zhao!"

In this kind of occasion, Li Dongling said these words, Duan Yufeng, Zhang Xuanlong, and Liang Botao could all hear Li Dongling's attitude towards Zhao Shinan, but Li Dongling's second sentence made Liang Botao and others' faces change.

"But this Mr. Zhao doesn't seem to welcome me to Xiangjiang!"

"I don't know, does Dongling Gao Ke still need to follow his rules in Xiangjiang?"

Zhao Shinan's expression is unknown, but Liang Botao and Zhang Xuanlong's faces are huge changes. They all know Dongling Gao Ke's status in the mainland. It is absolutely registered in Yanjing. Even the few wealthy families in Xiangjiang who are praised cannot say such things openly!

Especially next year, Xiangjiang will officially return. At this juncture, Zhao Shinan dares to say such things. Liang Botao looks at him, his face is cloudy and sunny. He doesn't know if this guy said it himself, or if someone behind him is instigating it, giving Dongling Gao Ke a "warning," or even having a deeper meaning, wanting to put eye drops on the mainland side...

But no matter which one it is, if the news spreads, if the news spreads, Xiangjiang will probably be shaken!

"I..."

Zhao Shinan's face is already pale at this time. He has seen many big storms and waves, and he has been reckless in his actions in the past, but he has never paid any price. But this time, he feels that the situation seems a bit bad.

"Li Zong, let's go in first, in case there are any accidents!"

Zhao Shinan was still preparing to speak, but was interrupted by Duan Yufeng, whose face was ugly. They were originally preparing to go to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to make some handovers during the listing, but now they met Li Dongling and heard these words. Duan Yufeng prepared to return to the hotel first to inquire about some news.

Duan Yufeng didn't know whether this Zhao Shinan was targeting Li Dongling or wanted to give Founder Group a slap in the face. He had to guard against it. He couldn't tolerate Founder Group's listing failure. That consequence was not something he could afford!

Arriving at the hotel suite as a temporary stay, Li Dongling will go to the villa prepared by Ning Wanke to rest at night. Dongling Gao Ke actually has some real estate in Xiangjiang for office use.

Many domestic companies, including Legend, Sitong, etc., have purchased office buildings in Xiangjiang, but Legend lost too much this year and sold the luxurious office building in Xiangjiang again.

In the past few years, housing prices in Xiangjiang have skyrocketed. Dongling Gao Ke has not yet started to purchase land and office buildings in Xiangjiang and overseas. However, after next year, after Soros arrives, there will be quite a few opportunities in the entire Southeast Asia, including Xiangjiang.

"How do you plan to handle Zhao Shinan?"

Ning Wanke poured a cup of tea for Li Dongling. She had been to Hanxi many times and had figured out Li Dongling's preferences more or less, knowing that compared to coffee, Li Dongling preferred tea a bit more.

Li Dongling's words just now made Ning Wanke feel that Li Dongling wanted to do something about this matter.

Looking at Ning Wanke, Li Dongling knew that this time, including the things Dongling Gao Ke would do in the future, there were many things that needed Ning Wanke to do, so he revealed a bit of the wind.

"After finishing Founder's affairs the day after tomorrow, I will visit Ning Bo Fu. This time I came to Xiangjiang, besides attending Founder Group's listing bell-ringing ceremony, there are other things to do. If there are fewer monsters and ghosts, things can be done more conveniently!"

Li Dongling said to Ning Wanke. What kind of background Zhao Shinan and the Zhao family company behind him have, Li Dongling doesn't care.

But Xiangjiang is different from the mainland, or rather, the overseas market is a completely different model from the domestic one. Sometimes, you still need to show your fist, so as not to let any monsters and ghosts run over, wanting to take a bite, and finally be swallowed without even slag left.

Dongling Gao Ke's future in Xiangjiang, and using Xiangjiang as a pillar to radiate overseas regions, requires quite a few investments in Xiangjiang. In a place where monsters and ghosts gather like Xiangjiang, as an outsider, if you show weakness at the beginning, there will be endless troubles in the future. I am afraid that nothing can be done, and everyone wants to take a bite!

Li Dongling took a sip of tea, his eyes placed on the phone in the suite. Xiangjiang is big and big. People of different status and status, even if they live in the same city, many people's circles are completely different. Two people of different classes may not meet each other in a lifetime, but it is also small. After all, the circle is only so big. Many things will be spread if there is a bit of wind. It is not that there are no paparazzi popping up at the hotel entrance.

"Ding-a-ling!"

The phone suddenly rang. After Li Dongling connected the phone, "I am Li Dongling!"

"Thank you, Manager Du, for your concern. I have arrived in Xiangjiang. After finishing Founder's affairs, I will visit Manager Du!"

The first call was from a deputy manager of Bank of China Xiangjiang Company. Bank of China knows what Li Dongling is doing in Xiangjiang this time.

This is like a signal. A moment later, several more calls were made, two of which were from Yanjing.

Afternoon tea, horse racing, yachts, etc., Zhao Shinan had no mood at all, and even the little actress couldn't take care of it, and hurriedly returned to his luxury home of more than 200 square meters. 【433-62

In Hong Kong, over two hundred square meters is indeed considered a luxury residence. Currently, property prices in Hong Kong are more than double those in New York, with a single apartment easily costing tens or hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Not to mention ordinary people, even Hong Kong celebrities complain bitterly about paying off a mortgage on one property. Even for Zhao Shinan, he is currently carrying a mortgage; let alone him, even his father couldn't come up with hundreds of millions in cash at once to pay in full.

After making several phone calls, Zhao Shinan finally rummaged through a copy of *Asia Weekly* that had been published some time ago. Seeing Li Dongling on the cover and then recalling the Li Dongling he had met today, Zhao Shinan couldn't help but collapse onto the floor, his face filled with a deathly pallor.

Before Zhao Shinan could clear his thoughts, the landline in the room suddenly rang. After answering, the content of the call made him involuntarily shout, "What? The Housing Department is inspecting and has determined that the building's load-bearing walls have safety hazards, requiring the eviction of tenants and a deadline for repairs?"

Zhao Shinan felt dazed, not knowing how that building, which he had been renting out for years after taking it over, had suddenly developed problems.

But before he could react, Zhao Shinan's construction company and property leasing company received a continuous stream of calls; the Buildings Department, the Civil Engineering Department, the Highways Department, and the Drainage Services Department had successively issued penalties against his companies.
