Chapter 362: Wind and Cloud in May

Putting aside his personal grudges, Li Dong became much more rational.

He puts more energy on his career and devotes more time to the company.

Li Dong didn't ask whether Yuan Xue went to the class reunion or left Pingchuan.

Li Dong didn't care about whether Qin Yuhan was on vacation or how the dessert shop was doing.

He was crazy about his work, and Li Dong personally took care of some lingering affairs in the distant place in the early stage, no matter how big or small.

If it wasn't for the fact that the negotiating team wasn't in place yet, Li Dong was even going to conduct a province-wide inspection.

There are more than 100 stores in Yuanfang, both open and unopened.

Coupled with the upcoming acquisition of three small and medium-sized supermarkets, the number of stores will reach 120.

Of the 120 stores, Li Dong has actually been to less than a third of the stores, and now he urgently needs to understand Yuanfang's operating system.

The province-wide inspection was not something that Li Dong suddenly thought of. As early as that time when Yuanfang Mall went online, Li Dong was ready to do it.

However, many things happened in the middle, and things have been delayed until now.

...

While Li Dong was busy, Pingchuan was also changing little by little.

These changes have little to do with ordinary people, but they are earth-shaking in the eyes of some people.

On May 22, Chen Jikuan, secretary-general of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, retired from illness ahead of schedule. Due to physical reasons, Chen Jikuan and his family went to the old cadres' institute in Beijing to recuperate.

On May 23, Guanghe Group changed hands.

Due to tax evasion and financial chaos, the defection of the company's top management, and various other problems of the Guanghe Group, the Qi family's capital chain was broken. In the end, it was insolvent and was acquired by the Hu Group with 50 million cash.

Of course, the insolvency is only in name, but in fact most of the 50 million fell into the hands of the Qi family and his son.

He didn't know if he had reached an agreement with Hu Wanlin, or he felt that he couldn't stay in Pingchuan anymore. The Qi family and his son left Jiangbei for Shanghai with all their belongings.

As for the issue of tax evasion, the Qi family paid up the tax, and then it seemed that nothing happened.

No one has held them accountable for tax evasion.

In fact, this is also normal. To be honest, no matter how many enterprises are involved, at least six out of ten have this problem.

If everyone is arrested, the prison will not be able to sit down.

With Hu Wanlin in the middle, the matter passed so quietly, and the Guanghe Group was officially incorporated into the Hu Group.

This time Hu Wanlin bought Guanghe Group, and Li Dong also picked up a small bargain.

Because Li Dong didn't get a cent of Longhua's first batch of land payments, and all 190 million went to Yuanfang, Li Dong is now penniless.

But just because he doesn't have money doesn't mean he can't borrow money. Li Dong secretly borrowed 30 million from Xu Shengzhe.

Among them, 20 million was used in exchange for 15% of the shares of Kelong Supermarket in Hu Wanlin's hands, and 5 million was used to pay for the Lanshan Manor Villa that Chen Rui transferred to him.

Both of these things were carried out secretly by Li Dong, and few people knew about them.

Even Xu Shengzhe didn't know what Li Dong was borrowing money for, but he didn't ask, it was only 30 million, and Li Dong still had 700 million in Longhua's side that hadn't been paid, and 30 million was impossible for Li Dong Repudiation.

Li Dong didn't rush to transfer Kelong's shares to his own, and it's still in Hu Wanlin's hands.

It is not a problem for Hu Wanlin to annex the Guanghe Group and take over these shares, but if it is transferred to Li Dong, it will be a lot of trouble.

For such a big company, other shareholders must be notified of the transfer of shares. Li Dong does not want people like Yao Hong to know that he holds 15% of the shares of Kelong Supermarket, so he is not in a hurry to change hands.

As for whether Hu Wanlin hacked his shares, Li Dong believed that she was not so unwise.

Because on May 25, Pingchuan's officialdom was shaken again.

Chen Hongbo, secretary of the Pingchuan Political and Legal Committee, retired to the second line due to health reasons, three months earlier than expected.

Originally, Chen Hongbo was going to retire this year, but everyone knew that it was around the end of August.

It was only the end of May, and Chen Hongbo had at least three months left in his tenure, but now that he retired three months earlier, it was not a big deal.

Of course, compared to another leader surnamed Chen, Chen Hongbo's retirement caused much less discussion.

One retired from illness ten years earlier, and the other three months earlier. The feeling was different, so Hu Wanlin could still hold on for the time being.

After all, Chen Hongbo had just stepped down, and the political lingering shadow was still there, so few people were so eager to trouble Hu Wanlin.

In May, the officialdom in Jiangbei was turbulent, and the business world was also turbulent.

All of this has more or less something to do with Li Dongneng, but Li Dong seemed to have disappeared in front of everyone in May.

Except for Yuanfang's statement a few days ago that Liu Haoming would no longer be held accountable, Li Dong seemed to be no longer in Pingchuan at other times.

However, Yuanfang Company is developing smoothly, and the mall and stores are developing rapidly and orderly.

The distribution center and the Yuanfang Building are also working overtime. It is expected that the Yuanfang Building will be completed by the end of August. One or two days for post-construction decoration and accessories should be enough, and Yuanfang will be able to move into the new building in October.

The same is true for the distribution center. There are fewer people in the southern suburbs, and the start of work is smoother, with day and night processing.

The distribution center, which was originally planned for a year, is only three or four months away, and half of the project has been completed. If it goes well, the distribution center should be put into use before winter comes.

Whether it is in the eyes of outsiders or in the eyes of insiders in the distance, the distance in the past six months has been developing by leaps and bounds.

Only a few high-level executives knew that Li Dong was planning to make a big move, buying Times Supermarket far away in southern Jiangsu!

This kind of thing has not only been thought of by outsiders, but also by other high-level executives in Yuanfang. No one would have thought that Li Dong would have such a big appetite that he would want to annex Times Supermarket, which has more assets than Yuanfang.

...

Of course, Du Anmin is not on this list.

He had already learned from his daughter that Li Dong was going to do this. To be honest, the first time he heard the news, Du Anmin felt that Li Dong was whimsical.

The second thought that arises is that this young man is daring!

When he calmed down, he had a third thought, the waves behind the Yangtze River pushed the waves ahead, the young people really have the drive!

Li Dong asked Shen Qian to ask Du Anmin, and Du Anmin actually wanted to meet Li Dong.

But a few days ago, he was going to the prefecture-level city for research, and he didn't have time to receive Li Dong.

On the second day after returning from the investigation, that is, on May 28, Du Anmin invited Li Dong to a banquet in the provincial party committee compound.

The No. 7 Courtyard of the Provincial Party Committee.

This is Du Anmin's residence in Jiangbei. It stands to reason that Du Anmin should live in No. 1 Courtyard.

However, the previous old leader lived in the No. 1 courtyard, and he has not moved out so far. Du Anmin would not take the initiative to let people move out. At that time, the No. 7 courtyard was empty, so Du Anmin lived in directly.

Li Dong is the provincial party committee compound that he and Shen Qian went to together.

In Li Dong's impression, the provincial party committee compound was majestic, serious, and deserted, and it was also the power center of Jiangbei.

But the moment he passed the sentry and officially stepped into the provincial party committee compound, Li Dong knew he was wrong.

In his impression, the mysterious and majestic provincial committee compound was actually no different from an ordinary residential area.

It's nothing more than a quieter environment with more trees.

In comparison, the Provincial Party Committee compound looks a bit dilapidated because of its age, and it is not as beautiful as Wanyuan and Jinhu Garden.

Moreover, the Provincial Party Committee compound is not empty, but is full of old people and children wandering around.

Shen Qian greeted her all the way, which was a bit inconsistent with her usual cold and arrogant appearance, but here, Shen Qian was more open and more like a child.

The old people responded enthusiastically, and the children chased after them with smiles.

Some old people looked at Li Dong ambiguously, and then at Shen Qian, which made Shen Qian coquettish.

Li Dong was dumbfounded. This is the legendary provincial party committee compound?

This is the old man who once stood at the pinnacle of power?

These old people seem to be amiable, no different from the elders and aunts in ordinary communities, but Li Dong knows that those who can live here, and can let Shen Qian say hello, must have held or are now in great power.

But now, with the power left behind, these old people seem more real.

They are actually just ordinary people, but they are too mysterious in the imagination of outsiders. These old people who have no rights, who are fond of grandchildren, are there any difference from ordinary people?

Walking all the way, at the end of the compound, there is a separate garden-style building.

Between the trees, Li Dong could see small independent three-story western-style buildings. Compared with the surrounding houses, the small buildings here are newer, and the walls should be repainted.

Moreover, the security here is also a little stricter, like a courtyard within a courtyard, separating this place and the outside into two worlds.

Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief, that's right, if Shen Qian's family lived in the same place just now, then Li Dong would be suspicious.

The current Jiangbei No. 1 brother lives in that kind of place, and his safety is too insecure.

There are only so many provinces in China, and how many first brothers of the provincial party committee, they are the real big officials in the frontier. If the security is so lax, then how these big bosses can survive until now is a problem.

While Li Dong was thinking wildly, Shen Qian led him across the last security line.

Entering the courtyard, Shen Qian said softly: "Don't be nervous later, my dad is actually very talkative, if it works, you don't need to say much, my dad will definitely agree. Of course, if it doesn't work, don't get angry ,otherwise……"

Before she could finish speaking, Li Dong rolled his eyes and said, "Am I out of my mind? Get angry, what kind of anger should I get? Do I dare to get angry? If your old man says a word, I might be tossing about when I look back. I have nowhere to go. , The rich do not fight with the officials, this is the most important truth left by the ancestors."

Shen Qian glared at him, and said angrily: "What are you talking about! My dad is not that kind of person, so I don't bother to tell you more. Also, I will remember it later, and we will talk about the loan and the company, and other things There is not much to say."

Li Dong knew what she meant, and said with a little amusement: "Understood."

Then she winked and said: "Your old man is also forced to marry you. I thought the emperor's daughter would not worry about getting married."

"roll!"

"Hahaha……"
