Li Cong knew what was going on with these public servants who seemed to be serving the people. He was also basically clear about the conflicts between Dalian City and Liaoning Province, but he did not want to get involved and did not interfere in China's politics.
These are the rules Li Cong has set for himself. How he follows them is his own business.
In fact, conflicts similar to this between the most economically powerful city in the province and the province exist in every city, such as Qingdao City and Shandong Province, Shenzhen City and Guangdong Province, so the central government has introduced this kind of sub-provincial
As long as they have money in their hands, they are no longer satisfied with the title of this sub-provincial city. They want more. Provincial cities are impossible, so they march towards municipalities.
The place where Li Cong and Li Yan stayed was known as the most luxurious Gulf Hotel in the Far East. It was built by the Grand Hyatt Hotel Group, a subsidiary of the energy group, at a cost of 5 billion yuan. It is bound to compete with the seven-star hotels in Dubai. Some
Some international celebrities have spoken highly of this hotel after staying here, saying that it can definitely be called a seven-star hotel. However, when compared with the Burj Al Arab Hotel, it can only be said that each has its own merits.
Li Cong and Li Yan stayed in the hotel's only two royal suites. The external price was as high as 140,000 yuan per night. This was still the price during the off-season, and it was basically impossible to book it. In fact, Li Cong only wanted to do it at the last minute.
Coming here, with his status, he would naturally have his own luxury apartment in the best area of Dalian and his own seaside villa by the sea, but Li Cong just wanted to see what kind of luxury this seven-star hotel has.
After moving in, I saw that it was much worse than my own room.
"This world is really scary. We, my brothers and sisters, can live in a room like this for 150,000 yuan a night, but there are cases in Africa where people are beaten to death for a bag of grain. I really don't know how God says that everyone is equal.
"Li Cong wandered around for a while but felt that he was no longer interested. He walked to the opposite side of Li Yan and waited for the chef to cook for him a table of food worth tens of thousands of yuan.
Li Yan pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses. Li Yan, who had not been very myopic over the years, has now become a little myopic. However, after wearing these gold-rimmed glasses worth over 10,000 US dollars, she looked more solemn than before.
What's wrong with my younger brother today? He either doesn't speak or speaks like this, what philosophers say, which makes me feel a little confused.
"I said what's wrong with you? Are you out of your mind or something? The newspaper said you are God, do you really think you are God? There are so many unfair things in the world, why do you have to take care of them?
Now? Don't pity those people in Africa who don't have enough food to eat. Strictly speaking, it's your fault that they don't have enough food to eat. If you hadn't done anything in Africa, they would probably be better off." Li Yan said maliciously.
, she has always been disapproving of the group's African plan. Spending so much money to go there, in Li Yan's opinion, it is better to step up and enter Europe. Africa is a useless place in the eyes of many people.
, the money and energy consumed to develop it are really too great.
"Haha, okay, okay, I won't argue with you on this issue. Our views are different. But one thing I have to remind you is that the group's funds have reached a terrible point. The group spends less than
The group earns 5%. If this continues, I am afraid that all the money in the world will be in our hands. Deflation has already occurred in several countries. Now how to spend the money reasonably is what we have to consider now.
If the money is not spent, it will still be a pile of waste paper and of no use at all," Li Cong said.
The issue Li Cong mentioned was indeed something Li Yan considered. The group's income is now too huge. More than 20 trillion US dollars flow into the energy group every year, while the annual expenditure is less than 1 trillion US dollars. That is
No matter how luxurious the life of Li Cong and the management is, they can't spend all their money. The group is looking for multiple investment opportunities, and now entering the shipbuilding industry is one of them.
"The investment department just gave me a report, selecting bonds from dozens of countries and institutions. We can buy about 500 billion U.S. dollars, and the annual return is only about 10%, but it can be done
It is stable and will not have any fluctuations. As for high-yield products, they basically carry certain risks. I don’t think you will do it.” What kind of bonds to buy is also an important issue. Li Yan and hundreds of people from the Finance Department
It took people a month of research to come up with these 500 billion bonds.
"Except for the shipyard in Dalian, how did the group invest in other machinery?" Li never answered the question about the bond. It would have been nice to have his sister over there to watch. Even after he asked, he still did the same thing.
Time is so precious, it’s better to say something more useful.
"The shipyard in Dalian is the second largest in the country and the fourth largest in the world. We spent 1.7 billion yuan to acquire 47% of the shares. The other half is naturally in the hands of the state. The shipbuilding industry is
There is no profit for us to get involved now, but our ocean-going group needs a large number of ships. It is better for us to have our own shipyard. In fact, my ultimate goal is not the shipbuilding industry, what I want to do is the automobile industry.
, what do you think?" Li Yan said while reading the document. In fact, she had already thought about entering the automobile industry, but she never had a chance to have a good talk with Li Cong.
Is the shipbuilding industry obsolete now? Then the automobile industry will not be obsolete? Now in the world, American cars, Japanese cars, and German cars are competing for supremacy. How can there be any share left for ourselves?
"I also want to get into the automobile industry, but how should we get in now? This thing is a technical job, and we can't get into it only if we have money. In the 1990s, China vigorously developed the automobile industry, but in the end it could only produce something like this
We have a lot of joint ventures, and only the sales and production departments are in our own hands. The R&D department and some important parts are not ours. We don’t need such an enterprise." Li Cong expressed his refusal tactfully.
"These are still problems for the time being, but they should not be problems in the near future. My son has already started to contact the public in Europe. You also know that they were seriously injured during the civil strife in Europe some time ago. At this time, they need a strong shareholder to join them.
." After Li Yan finished speaking, she found that Li Cong was looking at her with a strange look. Is there something wrong with him?
"Haha, sister, that's awesome. I just thought you liked cars before, but I didn't expect you really wanted to own a car group. Now that my nephew has already started the layout, there is no need to stop. Although I am not a patriot,
However, having an automobile group that truly belongs to the Chinese people can be regarded as making a name for the country. If we can successfully acquire the Volkswagen Group, I am afraid that the group will be able to buy sports cars at a 20% discount in the future, haha." Li Cong said jokingly, but also
Only Li Cong dared to make fun of such a group with hundreds of billions of dollars in assets. Others couldn't afford it.
Li Yan was a little embarrassed after her brother revealed her inner thoughts. She did have the idea of buying a sports car. The Volkswagen Group has Volkswagen (Germany), Audi (Germany), Lamborghini (Italy), Bentley (UK),
There are several brands including Bugatti (France), Seat (Spain), Skoda (Czech Republic), Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (Germany), Porsche (Germany), etc. Li Yan's favorite is Lamborghini, and she has to buy it for this reason alone.
Li Cong looked at the information and found that the Volkswagen Group is currently the largest automobile manufacturing group in the world. It has 68 subsidiaries around the world, 350,000 formal employees, and 200,000 informal employees. The group's total assets are
At its peak, it reached 180 billion U.S. dollars, with the highest annual turnover exceeding 200 billion U.S. dollars, and the group's net profit of 17.5 billion U.S. dollars. If you want to acquire such a huge automobile group, the various forces involved
It's not that simple.
"Well, the idea is not bad, but we are a little too subjective. Not all big groups in the world think the same as us. It's just that if we are willing to pay for it, others will sell it to us. Let's call that boy nice.
Investigate and study carefully. The Europeans have suffered such a big loss from us, so they must be careful when cooperating with us. I don’t want the group’s investment of hundreds of billions of dollars to get nothing back.” Li Cong still thinks of his sister.
I understand very well that other things may not be a big deal, but when it comes to sports cars, problems will inevitably arise.
While the two were talking, the food came out. Looking at the price list next to him, Li Cong felt so damn bad. Calculating, the chopstick dish he ate cost hundreds of yuan. What is delicious? Look.
My sister looked like she was enjoying herself. Could it be that she was really a wealthy person?
"Both of us can't eat such a table of food, so don't just stand around. There's no work for you to do now, so just sit down and eat." Li Cong looked at his secretaries and sister.
The assistants all stood watching the two of them eat. Li Cong felt so awkward. How was this different from the landlords and wealthy people in the old society?
This was not the first time he asked his secretary to sit down and have a meal with his boss. Li Yan didn't say anything. It was a bit luxurious for two people to eat more than a dozen dishes, so she nodded to her assistants and everyone sat down.
But this meal is quite embarrassing. The key to eating at the same table with the boss is to eat more and talk less. Li Cong originally wanted to chat for a few words, but everyone basically showed no intention to talk, so he just talked hastily.
Ended the dinner.
After dinner, Li Cong had a lot of arrangements. He had to meet with people from the provincial government, the city government, and various business groups. He was busy until ten o'clock in the evening before finishing his last appointment. Li Cong took a shower.
After I came out of the shower and lay on the sofa, I really didn't want to move at all. If I had known that I was so tired, I shouldn't have agreed to that Wang Lingling coming here to participate in some launching ceremony.
Thinking of Wang Lingling and Li Cong taking the phone and dialing her number, he was so tired that he didn't see this girl all night and didn't know what she was doing. At this time, Li Cong was still a little bit curious, but then he scolded himself for not doing anything.
Come on, why are you always curious about the beautiful female secretary? But the phone has been connected.
"Who is it, calling so late, do you have any morals?" The voice on the phone was unusually irritable, and it seemed that he had been woken up. Wang Lingling did not need to go to work tonight, and had already made arrangements for Li Cong.
Secretary, besides, she didn’t know the CEO very well, so she didn’t even think that the call was from Li Cong.
Wang Lingling's uncle and aunt lived in Dalian, so as soon as she arrived in Dalian, she asked for leave and went to her aunt's house. Unexpectedly, when she arrived, the whole family was there, and there was also a young talent. How could Wang Lingling not understand when she saw such a scene?
, it must be another blind date arranged by my family.
The so-called young talent is currently a small boss of a foreign company in Dalian, and his annual salary seems to be around one million. He is also some kind of distant cousin of his aunt. Wang Lingling can't help but spoil everyone's happiness. After all, these relatives only earn about one million a year.
We wouldn't meet each other a few times, so I accepted this blind date. Anyway, I had nothing to do.
Who knew that this man would fall in love with Wang Lingling as soon as he saw it, and he would stick to him like a marshmallow. Wang Lingling couldn't be embarrassed by him because her family was all around, so she could only act perfunctorily.
In his eyes, both of them were interesting. They looked like a talented and beautiful couple. How could there be no sparks? Then he urged the two of them to go out for a walk after dinner. After all, it is not convenient for two people to be here with so many people.
mutual understanding.
After going out, the guy got more and more excited as he chatted with her, and finally wanted to kiss her. Wang Lingling slapped him without thinking, and then took a taxi back to the hotel. He was so lustful when they met, and he was not a good person. At that moment,
Regardless of my aunt's face, she fell asleep easily at this moment, and there was a call coming in, and she would have to scold whoever it was.
"Well, it seems very immoral. I won't disturb your rest. Goodbye." Li Cong thought for a moment that it was his off-duty time. He was suspected of harassing his female subordinates by calling at this time, and then did not wait there.
He responded and hung up the phone.
Wang Lingling looked at the phone in a daze. Who is this? How can he be so arrogant? Then she started to do it. She was no longer sleepy at all, so she called back directly. No, this number, my mother.
Yeah, it belongs to the CEO. Wang Lingling quickly hung up the phone. What did the CEO mean? He called her in the middle of the night. Is it true that what he said before and that he and Dai Lai were unclear about it? Now Dai Lai
Lai is gone, does he think of himself?
After Li Cong hung up the phone, he went to watch TV. Wang Lingling didn't fall asleep all night. She turned around and talked to herself for a while, then took her mobile phone to see if there was anything there.
I made a phone call and then checked the call log to see if I had just hallucinated. But when I looked at the number, I realized that the damn president had indeed called me just now.
Until Wang Lingling was about to fall asleep, the phone rang again.
"President...what's the matter with you?" Wang Lingling asked carefully, thinking about how she would respond if he made some excessive demands, when the other side spoke up.
"Well, Miss Wang, I was a little impulsive just now. Now I'm in the cafe below your hotel. Do you want to come down and listen to me explain? In fact, I'm not that kind of person. I..." Before he could say anything,
After that, she immediately hung up the phone. Wang Lingling's tense nerves collapsed, "Damn, why are you here tonight? I can't live with this. I drank a lot of coffee in the middle of the night."
Jinan Yaoqiang International Airport
There is a direct flight from Beijing to London tonight. Dai Lai also chose this flight to go to the UK. Dai Lai is wearing a black windbreaker and black sunglasses. She is dressed like a strong woman who wants to stay away from her homeland. In fact, when she arrived in London, she saw
Maybe that is her second hometown to her parents. It’s just that Dai Lai grew up in China with her elders and is not very close to her parents. She is really unsure about her future life, but she also wants to give it a try and prove herself.
.
"Director Dai, it's time to board the plane. The president asked me to watch you board the plane. This is what the president asked me to give to you." No. 2 walked behind Dai Lai like a bodyguard, holding an envelope in his hand.
, I don’t know what’s inside, but anyway, the CEO asked me to give it to Dai Lai.
"Thank you. I've accepted the things. You can go back and return." Dai Lai took the envelope and put it casually into his handbag. He waved to No. 2 and walked into the security check. In fact, he was going to see off Dai Lai's friend.
There were a lot of them, but Dai Lai was resistant to seeing them in his heart, especially when there were some friends of his former husband who wanted to question him. These people he really didn't want to see.
Dai Lai's heart for Jiang Heng was completely dead. Before leaving, she knew that he had been released, but she had no intention of looking for him. Maybe a woman really doesn't love a man for that moment.
, I really have no place for any man in my heart. If there is someone I want to talk to, that person might be my former boss.
The plane took off on time. Looking out of the window, Dai Lai cried. He cried very sadly. He has always had feelings after living for more than thirty years. When he boarded the plane just now, Dai Lai was still very free and easy. He told himself that he was still young.
, I just left. I would have a better life in the future, but when it was time to leave, I still couldn't help crying.
Jiang Heng also rushed to the airport when the plane took off, but he was not here to see Dai Lai off. Seeing that Dai Lai's plane had already taken off, Jiang Heng gritted his teeth in hatred, telling you to leave like this, it was really an advantage for you.
Jiang Heng wished he could pull Dai Lai down. At this time, he also held some sexy photos he had taken with Dai Lai in his hand. He didn’t know where he found them. Since you left, I will let you continue.
My reputation will be ruined, Jiang Heng thought bitterly.
