"boast!"
Chen Nan stuck out his tongue, thinking that Chen Dong was trying to ease the tension.
really!
Everyone laughed when he said that.
Chen Xuelin said with a smile.
"Dongzi, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. Your mother and I are able-bodied and won't go hungry."
"Besides, don't you still have your older sister and brother-in-law?"
Chen Nan and Lin Zhiyuan both echoed this sentiment.
"Dad is right, Dongzi. If you have something to do, just go and do your thing."
Chen Dong nodded, not bothering to refute what he had just said.
Sometimes, telling the truth doesn't guarantee that people will believe you.
By adding a few lies, people tend to believe them wholeheartedly.
Afterwards, Chen Dong called Annie and Fox over and told them about accompanying their parents shopping for clothes.
After listening, the fox didn't react much, simply nodding to indicate that it understood.
Anne, on the other hand, was much more lively and cheerful, her eyes crinkling with laughter as she spoke with obvious delight.
"Boss, can I buy some clothes that I like?"
"certainly!"
Before coming here, Chen Dong had promised to do this, and he naturally kept his word, which could be considered as a way of repaying her.
"Oh, by the way, when we leave, we'll ask Manager Ma if he has time to take him along, and we'll buy him a few outfits too."
Not only Annie, but also Ma Guoliang came to Shenzhen with Chen Dong.
One should not be biased in dealing with others. When it comes to doing things for oneself, one should naturally treat everyone equally.
"Yes, boss!"
Anne happily agreed.
Not only did Chen Dong spend money to buy her clothes, but more importantly, it also helped her get closer to Xiao Xinyi, Chen Nan, and others.
Next.
Chen Dong returned to his room and called Li Aiguo using his personal business card.
The two exchanged a few brief pleasantries on the phone.
The two then agreed on a time and place to meet.
One o'clock in the afternoon.
Chen Dong arrived at a private room in a teahouse right on time.
When he entered the private room, Li Aiguo was already sitting inside.
"President Li, I'm sorry I'm late."
"No, no, no, I'm the one who arrived too early."
The two smiled at each other, shook hands, and then parted ways.
Chen Dong took a sip of the tea that Li Aiguo had poured and said with a smile.
"President Li, to be honest, I've called you here today because I need your help with something."
"oh?"
Li Aiguo picked up the teapot, added water to Chen Dong's teacup, and said with a smile.
"I don't necessarily have the ability to get a billionaire like you to ask me for help."
In fact, Li Aiguo was also having doubts.
I'm just the branch manager of a branch of China Construction Bank in Pengcheng. What qualifications do I have to help a billionaire?
If anyone should help, it should be someone more capable than themselves.
Chen Dong didn't take it seriously. He was not only calm inside, but also showed no extra emotion on his face.
The two can't really be called friends, so saying they're helping each other is a bit of a stretch.
It's more accurate to call it an exchange of benefits; that would be much more practical.
Thinking of this.
Chen Dong smiled slightly, held up five fingers, and said.
"$5 million."
"Mr. Chen Dong, what does this mean?"
Li Aiguo's eyes widened, his face showing a mixture of shock and anger.
Chen Dong spoke slowly and deliberately, as if on purpose.
"I want to invest $5 million in Shenzhen to open a large supermarket."
That scared the hell out of me!
Li Aiguo looked at Chen Dong with a hint of resentment.
You should have said so earlier! I was already thinking you were tempting yourself to commit a crime, and this is all?
Li Aiguo's chest heaved, his heart filled with turmoil.
He suddenly realized the problem.
Invest $5 million?
Open a large supermarket?
This isn't asking for my help at all; it's clearly doing me a huge favor.
conspiracy?
trick?
Or perhaps something else?
Otherwise, why would he do me this favor?
In the blink of an eye.
Li Aiguo thought about it a lot.
He really couldn't understand Chen Dong's purpose in doing this.
He believed Chen Dong could come up with $5 million.
If it's not a funding issue, then what could it be?
Li Aiguo frowned slightly, staring into Chen Dong's eyes.
Because he couldn't fathom Chen Dong's thoughts, he felt that he wasn't facing a young man, but rather a cunning old fox, which made him feel afraid.
Upon seeing this!
Chen Dong smiled calmly, revealing a gentle and welcoming expression, and said.
"President Li, don't misunderstand. If you're talking about helping, that's not wrong."
"When I first arrived, apart from having some money, I didn't know any of the leaders in Pengcheng. I didn't know how to handle things like supermarket registration and land approval."
You call that having a little money?
That's over 200 million US dollars.
Li Aiguo rolled his eyes inwardly and muttered to himself.
If it weren't for HSBC, he would never have believed that a young man under 20 years old could have $200 million in assets. How could anyone live like that?
With a monthly salary of less than 400 yuan, even if he worked for 2000 years, he wouldn't earn a fraction of what others earn.
But then I thought about it again.
Being complimented by a billionaire made Li Aiguo feel quite pleased.
“Mr. Chen Dong, I think we don’t need to be so polite with each other, calling each other ‘sir’ and ‘bank manager’ all the time.”
"If you don't mind, I'll take the liberty of calling me Brother Li. Don't call me Manager Li, it sounds too formal."
"Brother Li!"
Chen Dong called out naturally; it was just a form of address, and he wasn't at a disadvantage.
