Chapter 1617: Dream Come True

Wednesday, September 2nd.

Li Dong's private plane arrived in Xiangjiang again at 3 pm.

This year, Li Dong came to Xiangjiang more frequently. Since the acquisition of Guomei, he has been running to Xiangjiang.

In order to win Teng Xun, Li Dong also came several times, and he came several times in the last few months.

It was strange from the first time he came here, now, Li Dong is almost used to it, and he no longer cares about the surrounding scenery.

Xu Shengzhe came earlier than Li Dong. This time when Li Dong came to help Longhua get listed, Xu Shengzhe also gave him a lot of face and took Longhua's people to pick him up at the airport.

When Li Dong got off the plane, Xu Shengzhe said with a smile: "Come here today, the timing is just right.

There is a dinner party here in Xiangjiang tonight, how about showing up together? "

Li Dong walked and said, "What dinner party?"

Now that he's here, Li Dong doesn't have anything to be hypocritical about. He was originally here to give Longhua a platform, and when he needs to show up, he naturally has to show his face.

"This year's horse racing season has begun, and it just so happens that the first race is the night race on Wednesday night, which is today.

You were not there before, and the Jockey Club probably didn't send you an invitation letter.

But the season started, and the banquet tonight is not small, and most of the local tycoons in Xiangjiang will be there.

You are here now, someone will probably send you an invitation later, if you have nothing to do at night, it's good to join in the fun together. "

"Invitation card?"

Li Dong glanced at Xu Shengzhe as he spoke, and after a while he said with a smile that was not a smile: "I still use the invitation letter? After all, I am also a selected member of the Jockey Club, and I can go anytime and anywhere."

"Choose members? You?"

Now it was Xu Shengzhe's turn to be dazed. In Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang Jockey Club is almost synonymous with Regal Club.

The name of Xiangjiang Jockey Club is much more famous than China Entrepreneur Club, Huaxia Alumni Association...these institutions are even comparable to the American Skull and Bones Club.

The Xiangjiang Jockey Club is usually managed by the board of directors, and under the board of directors are a small number of selected members.

Next, there are multiple membership identities.

As a selection member, it is already regarded as the core layer of the Jockey Club, because the selection members have the right to recommend, and new members of the Jockey Club must be recommended by the selection members to join the club.

With Li Dong's status, it is not uncommon to become a selected member.

But how many times has this guy been to Xiangjiang?

Has he ever been there?

This is quietly becoming a member selection?

Seeing him in a daze, Li Dong laughed again: "What? Don't believe it?

What is the selection of members? The chairman of the Jockey Club invited me to become an honorary director of the Jockey Club, but I just refused.

Otherwise, I would be considered half the host of the Jockey Club.

In fact, it doesn't make much sense. To be honest, even if I am not a member of the board of directors at this time, if I go to a banquet at the Jockey Club, will anyone not welcome me?

Even if I'm not even a member, with this face, it's not difficult for me to hang out at high-end banquets and have a meal all year round. "

Xu Shengzhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said speechlessly: "Then why don't you try it?

Forget it, since this is the case, that's even better.

Let's go together in the evening, and Longhua still has some taboos about being listed in Xiangjiang this time, and this time it really depends on you to suppress the situation. "

The reason for saying this is that the listing of Longhua is a bit abrupt.

Originally, among mainland real estate giants, only Longfor and Evergrande decided to list in Xiangjiang.

Some local tycoons in Hong Kong have actually been attracted by these two companies, and many people's private funds have purchased the shares of the two companies.

At this time, Longhua suddenly came out. As I said before, Xiangjiang's market is so big, and the three giants will be listed at the same time, and some of them will inevitably be diverted.

For these tycoons who participated in advance, that is to snatch benefits.

Although Xu Shengzhe had recruited some people to enter the arena before, but after all, the time was too short, and not many people actually entered the arena.

These Xiangjiang local tycoons have great influence in Xiangjiang.

Even though Longhua used Li Dong as the basis for its propaganda before, there are still many people who don't sell face,

After all, Li Dong is Li Dong, and Longhua is Longhua. Before this, Li Dong didn't reply directly.

Longhua issued 2 billion new shares this time, and the international placement accounted for 1.6 billion shares.

Heung Kong's public offering is 400 million shares.

The issuance range is 6-7 Hong Kong dollars.

In other words, even if the highest price is issued, the financing amount of the public offering is only 2.8 billion Hong Kong dollars.

2.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, the market is a little more positive, and Li Dong’s personal influence is here, it is not difficult to reach more than 10 times the oversubscribed multiple of the public offering part of the subscription period, and there is hope for dozens of times more.

But because some local tycoons in Hong Kong don't want to sell this face, in fact, the subscription amount of Longhua's public offering in Hong Kong this time can barely reach 30 billion Hong Kong dollars.

This is also one of the reasons why Xu Shengzhe felt guilty, did not dare to go public alone, and insisted on letting Li Dong come to the platform.

The current subscription period is fine, and it doesn't matter if these people don't sell face.

The key is that it will be officially listed tomorrow, and some tycoons will enter the market to speculate.

This kind of thing didn't happen.

Once the new stock is speculated on the first day of listing, the situation will not be so good.

Xu Shengzhe is not well-known in the mainland, let alone Xiangjiang.

On Xiangjiang's side, he couldn't control the scene, nor could he suppress those tycoons. This was completely different from Li Dong.

Li Dong came to Xiangjiang before, and the Yangtze River in Xiangjiang had to bow his head.

That was when Teng Xun was not listed. Now Teng Xun has a market value of more than 500 billion Hong Kong dollars in Xiangjiang. In addition, Li Dong has also intersected with some local giants in Xiangjiang. During the last visit, everyone gave him three points of face.

With Li Dong personally in charge, those people dare not use their brains.

If it weren't for this, Xu Shengzhe wouldn't have postponed the listing time, just to wait for Li Donglai to attend the bell-ringing ceremony, it wouldn't be the case.

Hearing what he said, Li Dong smiled and said: "Actually, it's not as complicated as you think, do you really think that people like Xiangjiang are full of food and insist on going against you?

Yes, there may be a loss of profit this time, but after all, it is not listed, so it is not an actual profit.

And I accounted for 20% of the shares in Longhua, and almost everyone knew about it.

At this juncture, it can be said that as long as there are tycoons with business in the Mainland, no one will attack my property at this time.

Even if there is no business in the mainland, unless it really causes them a lot of losses, otherwise, some face is still to be given.

But since you're worried, I'll go with you tonight. "

"I'm just a little worried. After all, I'm different from you. If you fail to go public once, there will be another time.

It's just this time for me, I haven't been able to sleep well for the past few nights. "

Xu Shengzhe didn't hide it at this time. When he talked about this, his face was full of regret and emotion.

Once upon a time, he had an absolute advantage in front of Li Dong.

But now, whether he admits it or not, Li Dong is indeed not comparable to him.

...

At 6:30 in the evening, Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe arrived at the Sha Tin Racecourse together.

This season just started today.

The enthusiasm of Hong Kong people for Marseille is actually the same as that of mainlanders for gambling. Marseille is a gamble, but a legal one.

Today, the first day of the racing season, when Li Dong and the others arrived, although there was still a little time before the official race, at this moment, there was already a lot of people and it was overcrowded.

Li Dong got out of the car, looked around, couldn't help but shook his head and said, "It seems that everyone has a gambling nature in their bones."

"Naturally, the thing about gambling is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

You said, who in this world is not gambling?

As big as a country or as small as a family, new policies are announced, and new plans are implemented, all of which are gambling..."

Xu Shengzhe said something, then his eyes changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Chairman Chen is here!"

Ahead, the chairman of the Xiangjiang Jockey Club personally led some members towards this side.

In Xiangjiang, outsiders only know the names of the four major families, but they don’t know that in Xiangjiang, there is another saying that the real right to speak in Xiangjiang is not the four major families, but three people!

Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Taipan of HSBC, Chairman of Jockey Club!

These three people are the pinnacle figures who hold the right to speak in Xiangjiang.

Compared with the four big families, the influence of these three people has penetrated the entire Xiangjiang, and the four big families have to sell face.

As for the Chairman of the Jockey Club, at this time he personally came forward to welcome Li Dong. This face is considered to be at home.

Even if the Chairman of the Jockey Club, who is over sixty years old, does not show up, no one will say no. It is normal for people not to come out to greet Lao Li when he comes.

But this time, he did come in person.

In fact, the key point is that this time, Li Dong showed his face on CCTV, potentially becoming China's economic spokesperson.

No matter how the two systems are in Xiangjiang, after the reunification, it will also be China's inherent territory.

Businessmen can transfer their assets and go to other places, but these power figures have to keep up with China's pace, otherwise, it is not difficult to lose the rights in their hands.

Li Dong is now the core figure of China's official economy. Anyone who understands Xiangjiang knows what it means.

So knowing that Li Dong was coming, the chairman of the Jockey Club brought people down to greet him.

Of course, Li Dong was not really arrogant enough to wait for the other party to arrive. After a distance, he walked forward quickly and said with a smile on his face: "Hello, Chairman Chen, good evening Mr. Guo and Mr. Wu..."

Among the crowd, not only the chairman of the Jockey Club came.

The oldest generation of tycoons didn't come, I don't know if they didn't come to participate or they didn't come down, but a few of the younger generation's tycoons also came.

Including members of the Guo family of the four major families, the most famous Guo family in the mainland is probably the Shangri-La Hotel.

In addition, the Mr. Wu mentioned by Li Dongkou is also the leading existence in Xiangjiang. The Wharf Group and Wheelock Group under the other party are giant enterprises.

At the same time, the other party has another identity, the second son-in-law of the ship tycoon.

In Xiangjiang, there is only one ship king, the late Mr. Bao Yugang.

The other party is not only a legend, but his two sons-in-law are not ordinary people either. During Li Dong's wedding, the other party's eldest son-in-law's family had been there before.

The eldest son-in-law took over the global shipping of the ship king, and the second son-in-law took over the Wharf Group.

In other words, the family is separated, otherwise, the Yangtze River may not be an opponent if the two unite.

These tycoons came down to greet them in person, that's enough to save face.

At this time, Li Dong was not as arrogant as he was in the past, and was different from the previous few times. He looked humble and introverted.

This scene also made several Xiangjiang tycoons who were over sixty years old look satisfied.

It's true that Li Dong is a giant, and no one would deny it.

But after all, it was too late to rise and too young. This time, these people came down to greet Li Dong in person. In fact, the main purpose was not to give Li Dong face, but to express an attitude.

At this time, if Li Dong is really arrogant, it will make people look down on him by three points.

But now Li Dong has a humble face, and compared to the Yangtze River that was forcibly suppressed by Li Dong before, these old men are even more satisfied.

The relationship between tycoons is sometimes very complicated. Today they are rivals, but tomorrow they may sit together and drink tea.

But no matter what, Li Dong didn't sell Changjiang's face, but gave them face. With a comparison, it makes people feel different.

Everyone laughed and chatted while walking towards the stands.

Of course, not ordinary public stands.

The stands at the Shatian Racecourse are divided into many floors. Tonight's banquet will be held on the seventh floor, where non-selected members are usually not allowed to enter. In other words, it is specially prepared for high-level people.

Tonight's banquet will be held there. When the banquet starts, Marseille will also start.

Walking on the road, a few people chatted and chatted, and naturally they couldn't avoid some gossip and secrets.

When it came to the fact that the "Sixth Uncle", who turned 100 years old this year, was about to sell TVB because he could not find a successor, everyone was a little bit embarrassed.

In Xiangjiang, no one has more qualifications than Mr. Shao.

Not only qualifications, but also status, and the relationship with the Mainland, something can be seen from the Shaw Buildings in various places.

They were chatting, Li Dong listened for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "I have been listening to the name of the old man since I was a child, and even the school I attended has a teaching building donated by the old man.

Now that Mr. Shao is over a hundred years old, it is indeed time to let go and relax a little.

Elders, do you feel that if Dongxing Entertainment takes over tvb, will it be a bit abrupt? "

Xu Shengzhe, who was following Li Dong, stagnated. Although it is no longer what it used to be, TVB's reputation has declined a lot.

But this does not mean that tvb has really declined, the other party still has a lot of resources.

Among other things, just signing artists, Xiangjiang still has a large number of well-known artists signing contracts under tvb.

It can be said that Xiangjiang's movies and TV shows have influenced countless people in China. Almost 90% of the movies and TV shows in China back then came from Xiangjiang.

And tvb in Xiangjiang still occupies the absolute first place in ratings.

Li Dong actually wanted to buy tvb!

Although he said it was Dongxing Entertainment, in Xu Shengzhe's view, there was not much difference.

Once it is really made by Li Dong, with the support of Dongxing Mainland, then Dongxing Entertainment will be the well-deserved king of Chinese entertainment.

For companies like Shanda, what they are doing now can only be regarded as small troubles.

The acquisition of tvb is not only an acquisition, but also a change of era. Compared with Wanda's plan to acquire abroad, tvb is the epitome of an era that China and even the whole of Asia will never forget.

Of course, tvb is not the same as Shaw Brothers, but this concept has long been confused after decades of Shaw Brothers' leadership.

Li Dong's words made Xu Shengzhe stunned, and the other tycoons were also a little stunned.

But soon, several people made eye contact.

This mainland tycoon, it seems that he is really going to enter Xiangjiang in an all-round way!

And the restrictions are very small. At least, the Xiangjiang government, they think, will not set up obstacles.

TVB is a giant among traditional media giants, and has great influence among Chinese at home and abroad.

If such a TV broadcasting platform is handed over to others, the Huaxia government may not agree.

But leave it to Li Dong, since he dared to push the other party to be the spokesperson, this obstacle should not exist.

And Li Dong also owns Weibo, a modern online social platform, which now affects Xiangjiang, and if he masters the traditional media platform, his influence in Xiangjiang will reach a new peak in an instant.

Several people looked at each other, and the chairman of the Jockey Club smiled and said: "We have also heard the reputation of Dongxing Entertainment, Dongxing Charity Night, the previous two years, Mr. Li did not invite us, and we are embarrassed to take the liberty to go.

In next year's charity night, all circles in Hong Kong will definitely contribute.

As for taking over TVB, it depends on Uncle Six's thoughts.

In addition, I heard that Jinxing is also interested recently and is in contact with Uncle Six..."

Cheng Guoqiang, the helm of Jinxing, is known as the "shell king" and has a close relationship with Changjiang Lao Li. The other party has a lot of influence in Xiangjiang. He is best at buying shell companies for capital injection and reselling them at high prices.

This Li Dong has also heard about it, and the TVB was indeed taken down by the other party in his previous life.

But Li Dong didn't care too much, and said with a smile on his face: "Let's try it, I'll ask Mr. Hu from Dongxing to come to Xiangjiang to visit Mr. Shao later.

It doesn't matter whether it is successful or not, the key is to have admired Mr. Shao for a long time, and that is a legend that has influenced us for generations.

I came in a bit of a hurry this time, so I won't bother the old man. Next time I have a chance, I must visit the old man. "

"Then we wish President Li the best of luck..."

Chairman Chen and the others also smiled and congratulated in advance. In fact, Li Dong participated, and they all felt that King Ke was not an opponent.

So what about relying on Lao Li, Li Dong even suppressed the Yangtze River, so he is still worried about this?

A few people chatted and laughed, and they had already reached the seventh floor.

Taking advantage of other people's busy time, Xu Shengzhe came to him and whispered: "Aren't you afraid that Shen Qian will trouble you?"

Li Dong frowned and said, "What are you talking about, the acquisition of TVB is just a normal arrangement..."

"Don't you have no shares in Dongxing? Do you need to come forward?"

Li Dong glared at him, and said angrily: "What's wrong with not having a share? Can I help a friend without a share?

Winning tvb will more than double Dongxing's value.

The value of tvb is not too high, the key is influence and fame, even if it is acquired for 10 billion yuan, it can create a value of 20 billion yuan later.

If you see the matter of making money for nothing, of course you have to intervene.

What's more, winning tvb can be regarded as fulfilling one of my childhood dreams.

Our generation, the previous generation, are not deeply influenced by Xiangjiang movies and TV series. In order to realize my dream, it is okay for me to spend some money to buy it myself. "

Xu Shengzhe didn't provoke Li Dong any more at this time, but said with a sly smile: "Some of the contracted female artists of tvb are all our teenage dream lovers..."

"Nawful! Even if she was in the past, she is still a mistress now, don't talk to me about this."

Li Dong rolled his eyes. Back then when Shaw Brothers was popular and TVB was popular, the female artists in Xiangjiang were indeed the fantasy objects of countless people in the mainland.

But it's been so many years, and most people are around fifty, so only Xu Shengzhe thinks about this.

I was too lazy to talk to this guy. At this time, many people were already walking towards Li Dong. Li Dong also put on a smiling face and walked towards the crowd.

And Xu Shengzhe still counted on Li Dong to help him stand up, so naturally he didn't have the time to tease him, so he hurriedly followed them into the crowd.

As for celebrities and so on, after all, how could Xu Shengzhe really care about it.
