Chapter 1097 Big news is coming (10,000)(1/2)
On September 3, Li Dong and the Shangdu government roughly completed the negotiations.
Shangdu gives money to the land and far away.
He was generous in the distance, even if there were still some buildings on the land of Shangdu, and even a few nail households had not been moved away.
Li Dong didn't mind and just got the land and paid.
This surprised the Shangdu government. There are such easy-to-talk businessmen?
To be honest, as soon as Li Dong's move was made, many people regarded him as a sucker.
This guy is so generous!
He is so generous. If he hadn't known that he was the richest man and had huge investments and was paying attention to him, I'm afraid someone would have made up his mind.
This is not something that comes from investment, money is spent!
...
After the trip to Shangdu was over, Li Dong did not go anywhere else.
There are people in charge in other places. He took action personally, mainly to express his importance.
As soon as Li Dong returned to Jiangbei from Shangdu, his car arrived at the entrance of the building in the distance and was blocked.
Recently, there have been frequent movements in the distance and huge investments, which have attracted countless attention.
Various media also want to interview Li Dong or Yuan Chengdao.
However, Yuan Chengdao has been as big as a cow recently, so he has no time to pay attention to them and has been avoiding them.
Relatively speaking, Li Dong is easier to talk to.
As soon as Li Dong's car arrived in Jiangbei, news came out, and media reporters rushed to the distance to wait.
Fortunately, Li Dong came directly to the distant building, otherwise these people would have to eat dust today.
Seeing that there were many reporters, the security guards came forward to stop him, and Li Dong got out of the car directly.
He was about to talk to the media at this time, and the opportunity was just right.
When the reporters were excited when they saw Li Dong get off the car, they immediately surrounded him.
Everyone also knew Li Dong's routine. Before he could speak, a female reporter who got the best position smiled and said, "Mr. Li, we are not messing around. We ask, just answer.
If you can answer, you just say that if you can't answer, you won't ask too much. Can you see?"
Li Dong could not help but hold it back. After a while, he laughed and said, "Yes, next time everyone would better bring their own small stools and line up to ask each other. You are sure I will get off the bus."
"No." The female reporter quickly smiled: "Because we all know that Mr. Li is a charitable man. Mr. Li can't bear to see us eating dust outside."
"If you are a rough man, I will really bear it." Li Dong joked.
Everyone laughed, and the female reporter who spoke also covered her mouth and chuckled. After a while, he said, "Mr. Li, can I ask a question first?"
"Of course, ladies are preferred."
Li Dong smiled and said, "I have asked all of you at once. I've been busy recently and don't have time to hold any press conferences.
I just got idle today and didn’t have much to do, so I just acted as a press conference.”
The female reporter looked happy and said quickly: "Mr. Li, then I will start asking questions..."
Seeing that she was going to do an exclusive interview, the reporters behind her were anxious.
The rough men were crying but they were still crying, but a few female reporters who were pretty good kept pushing forward.
If I had known that Li Dong would prefer women, he would have squeezed in at the beginning. Now that someone has seized the opportunity, he has lost a lot.
Li Dong was too lazy to care about them and smiled and said, "Ask."
The female reporter before also knew that she could not inflict public anger, so she immediately said: "Mr. Li, I will ask three questions.
First, Hurun Studio previously revealed that your personal wealth exceeds 70 billion.
Because this news has not been confirmed by you, the outside world has been speculating on it. Can you tell us today?"
At any time, wealth is a topic that attracts attention.
As soon as the female reporter's question came out, the others calmed down one after another, waiting for Li Dong to answer.
Li Dong thought about it for a while, then said, "The specific number is hard to say, how to say it, wealth is not fixed.
Just like the stock market, your stock is worth ten thousand today, but tomorrow it may become nine thousand, or more.
Moreover, I have not done specific statistics in the distance, and in fact, I have not calculated how much money I have.
Of course, I probably didn't think I was in my mind at all, and I'm afraid someone would scold me for pretending to behave."
Everyone laughed, it was really good to interview Li Dong.
Li Dong simply spoke directly, and changed to someone else. When he asked this question, he answered the previous sentences and then passed it over with a perfunctory sentence.
But Li Dong doesn't, and the result is not beyond everyone's expectations.
"Seventy billion should not be overestimated.
In my estimate, some industries should be of higher value.
As a result, the estimate given by Hurun has not met my expectations. I think it is correct to make my net worth exceed 100 billion this year."
Everyone laughed again, and the female reporter who asked could not help but say, "Li Dong, are you trying to surpass the richest man last year?"
"Is this the second question?" Li Dong smiled.
The female reporter stopped asking and said with a smile: "No, I'll wait for someone to ask this question later.
Mr. Li, then I will ask the second question.
This time, the plan for the distant city was very rumored. As early as when you went to the mountain city, the distant city revealed the news.
But at that time, we also interviewed some industry insiders.
Many people say that the commercial real estate market is now sluggish, and making large investments in this area in the distance is just a gimmick.
As a result, it didn’t take long before you implemented the specific plan. Can I ask you your personal thoughts?"
Li Dong said disapprovingly: "Everyone has different ideas. Some people are optimistic and some are not optimistic. This is normal.
Moreover, the purpose of the distance is not to do pure commercial real estate.
The distant city is not a simple shopping plaza. The purpose of the distant city is to make it a business card in the distance, or even a city's business card!
Just like we spend a lot of money in Beijing, Shanghai, and mountain cities to build a top-level urban complex.
From now on, when you go to Beijing and want to go shopping and leisure, the first thing you think of is not CBD, but the distant city!
When you go to Shapingba, the mountain city, you don’t think of Shapingba business district, but the distant city!
When I went to Xujiahui, I thought of the distant city!
This is our purpose. As for the sluggish commercial real estate market, what does this have to do with us?
No matter how sluggish the market is, everyone always has to shop and eat and relax.
Unless the economy goes back several decades and returns to the planned economy era, I don’t think there is anything to worry about.”
After Li Dong finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but chewing it carefully.
This is really domineering!
Yes, I don’t care whether I make money or not. All I care about is how much influence this project can bring to the distance.
If you really lose a little, it doesn't matter.
Moreover, Li Dong's goal is not to make money. His goal is even more ambitious, making the distant city the city's business card.
Any city has its own unique style and humanistic culture.
What Li Dong wants to do now is to integrate into the city and replace their culture. This goal is much greater than making money.
Everyone now understands why Li Dong is investing wildly regardless of costs.
If Li Dong really wants to achieve this goal, he will become a business empire in the distance.
Of course, this goal is not so easy to achieve.
Although the investment of billions of dollars is large, sometimes it is not just a matter of money, but also depends on how to operate their urban complexes in the distance.
It is not impossible to go bankrupt if it is poorly managed.
After asking the second question, the female reporter thought for a while before asking: "Mr. Li, then to say that, ten distant cities are not the limit of the distance?
According to you, will there be a distant city in every city in the future?"
Li Dong smiled bitterly and said, "You really overestimate me. How many cities are there in the country?
Just talk about prefecture-level cities and above, there are about 300.
If you want to cover all these cities, the average distance city will have a minimum investment of 2 billion yuan. Some cities will only be higher, that is about 700 billion yuan.
If Dongyu Real Estate can achieve this scale, I can surpass Bill Gates alone with Dongyu."
Everyone will naturally settle the accounts.
