After the party, at 10 p.m., in the study on the third floor of Wanjia.

Lin Dong was stunned when he saw the thick stacks of banknotes in front of him.

What's gotten into Wan Qingshan tonight? Why is he suddenly giving him so much money?

"Here is 500,000 yuan, a special reward from the company for you securing that shipment."

Wan Qingshan said with great pride:

"I told you, if you follow me, Wan Qingshan, as long as I can eat meat, I'll never let you just drink soup, haha..."

"Brother Shan, isn't this too much?"

Although Lin Dong is not short of money now, he was still quite shocked when he saw so much cash.

These days, which boss would be willing to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to reward their employees? After all, at current prices, 500,000 yuan is enough to buy a courtyard house in Beijing.

"Hey, what's a little money? I, Wan Qingshan, have always been one to reward those who have made contributions. Take it."

"Alright, since Brother Shan says so, then I won't stand on ceremony, hehe."

Lin Dong didn't stand on ceremony anymore, putting the 50 stacks of money into a travel bag on the table. After thinking for a moment, he took out another 50 bills:

"This 5,000 yuan was borrowed from the company before."

Wan Qingshan was taken aback, then burst into hearty laughter:

"Hahaha... Not bad, Lin Dong, you're a man of principle!"

Lin Dong carefully placed the travel bag full of cash and said with a smile:

"Brother Shan, please rest assured, I will not leave Wanqi. No matter how powerful other forces are, they are not what I want."

"Oh? So what do you want?"

"What I want is to build Wanqi into the largest electrical appliance retail giant in the country within two years, and at the same time, become the largest force in the Southern Capital and even the Southern Province."

"You've got quite the ambition, Lin Dong. Do you really think we want to expand northward?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Qingshan's spirits lifted. As one of the first businessmen to get rich in the 1990s, he certainly wouldn't be limited to his current territory and profits.

He wasn't unwilling to expand northward and establish a nationwide presence; rather, he simply couldn't find the right people to carry it out.

"Yes, while electronics smuggling is highly profitable, it's a risky business, like licking a knife's edge. Given the country's policy direction, it won't be long before they crack down on it..."

Hiss~

Wan Qingshan gasped, greatly alarmed, and pressed for an answer:

Are you sure?

"It's pretty much a done deal. The last time the smuggled goods were seized was a clear signal."

Lin Dong calmly analyzed:

"Brother Shan, it's time for us to shift our funds and focus away from smuggling. Taking advantage of our information gaps and channels, we should expand northwards. That's the right path."

Wan Qingshan fell silent. Lin Dong's words had a huge impact on him, but Lin Dong's amazing performance over the years also made him take him very seriously.

After a long while, Wan Qingshan asked in a deep voice:

"Lin Dong, where did you come up with this guess?"

Lin Dong extended a finger, tapped his head, and said:

"Read more books and newspapers, watch more news, and use your brain more, and the conclusion will naturally come out."

Analyzing the future economic trends in China is a simple matter for Lin Dong, a reborn individual.

If we just pull out a tiny bit, wouldn't that make Boss Wan completely obedient?

"Alright, I believe you! Lin Dong, tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, I will convene a meeting with all the company's middle and senior management to formally announce your appointment as general manager."

Wan Qingshan is a ruthless man. He made a decision so quickly and went all the way, directly pushing Lin Dong into power.

It seems that none of these nouveau riche in the underworld are simple. They just appease you with a lot of money and then give you a high-ranking position.

Wan Qingshan's move not only logically achieved the company's strategic adjustment, but also incidentally trapped Lin Dong.

"Uh? Brother Shan, isn't it a bit too fast for me to become the general manager? I've only been with the company for half a month."

Lin Dong was perfectly aware of Boss Wan's thoughts, but he still needed to be humble.

"What's the rush? I'm still in charge of Wanqi now. If I make you the general manager, who dares to object?"

Wan Qingshan waved his hand and said in a gruff voice:

"Don't worry, the general manager's monthly salary and bonuses are generous, and we'll start implementing it tomorrow."

"..."

...

It was past 11 p.m. when I came out of Wan Qingshan's study.

Lin Dong went down to the living room on the first floor and saw that Fan Gui had not left yet and was sitting alone on the sofa watching TV.

"Old Fan, you haven't left yet?"

"I've been waiting for you. Come on, I'll give you a ride."

Thank you.

The two got into the car together and drove towards the bustling northern district.

Along the way, Fan Gui glanced at the travel bag beside Lin Dong, but didn't ask any questions. He just smiled and said:

"Lin Dong, congratulations."

Lin Dong was taken aback and asked:

"What's the meaning?"

Fan Gui rolled his eyes and said:

"Of course it means exactly what it says. I know the boss's personality too well. Just look at the attitude of Cloud Shadow Society and those other big and small forces tonight. Wouldn't the boss offer you a hefty sum and a high-ranking position to keep you here?"

oh?

I never imagined that you, Fan Gui, who are usually so quiet, would actually be so clever. You're quite a talent; you'll be useful in conquering the world in the future.

"Brother Shan wants me to be the company's general manager. What do you think, Lao Fan?"

"I think you're great. I might not support others, but you're different. I admire you!"

Lin Dong sighed helplessly; asking was pointless, as the guy didn't question him at all. Then he remembered another question:

"Right, Lao Fan, besides the riverside villa, does Brother Shan own any other properties?"

Why do you ask that?
