That's outrageous!
How could he say that?
Was that what Lao Tzu just meant?
Li Jiacheng was dumbfounded, feeling as if he had shot himself in the foot.
Li Xiaoman turned her head to the side, equally stunned by Chen Dong's shameless words.
When she saw Li Ka-shing get humiliated again, she wanted to laugh, but she was also afraid.
She wanted to punch Chen Dong in the chest with her small fists.
Who is Li Ka-shing? He is the richest man in Hong Kong, and even the richest man in all of Asia.
There were far too many people who wanted to curry favor with him and flatter him.
Just as Li Ka-shing thought, he was indeed willing to give Chen Dong money, but would Chen Dong dare to accept it?
He wasn't the only one who thought this way; Li Xiaoman shared the same idea.
A person's name is like a tree's shadow!
Hong Kong has been under the tyranny of Li Ka-shing for far too long, making it difficult for people to even think of resisting.
certainly!
It's not that no one dares to disagree with Li Ka-shing; those who do either have their companies go bankrupt or are acquired by him.
Over time, such people become extremely rare.
but!
Now, Chen Dong, this hothead, or rather, this newcomer from out of town, not only isn't afraid of Li Jiacheng at all, but also opposes him at every turn.
The crucial point is that Li Ka-shing has absolutely no way to deal with Chen Dong!
In terms of ability, the two are not in the same field.
Li Ka-shing is involved in manufacturing, while Chen Dong's assets are mostly in the financial sector.
In the financial field, Chen Dong says he is a king, and he believes no one would dare to disagree.
Li Ka-shing was no match for him either!
"Cough cough..."
Li Jiacheng coughed lightly and said, "Um, Mr. Chen, isn't this a bit unfair? As far as I know, Wanjia Company has several thousand employees. Although I feel good about doing this, isn't it too unfair to the employees?"
The only excuse Li Ka-shing could think of was his employees.
Hopefully, this will dispel Chen Dong's idea.
Are you kidding me? Let Wanjia Company go bankrupt? That would mean all his money went down the drain.
Saying it is one thing, but doing it is another.
Moreover, Li Ka-shing was only saying those words to Chen Dong; he didn't actually intend to give Chen Dong the shares.
Li Ka-shing spent HK$1 billion on the investment alone for 35% of the shares. If he were to actually give it to Chen Dong, he would feel the pinch.
"I see...?"
Chen Dong pretended to think for a moment, then said, "If we acquire it, wouldn't that just be giving Jiang Wanming a free ride? Mr. Li, I won't be able to help you get revenge then?"
"It's alright, it's alright. Compared to my employees, what is my anger?"
It sounded righteous and awe-inspiring, but Chen Dong almost burst out laughing inside.
Do you really think Li Ka-shing is doing this for the good of his employees?
They're putting capitalists too seriously. Li Ka-shing is a man who is the richest man in Hong Kong and Asia. All his money was earned little by little from ordinary people.
Later, he stopped making money because he had taken all the money from ordinary people.
He came up with a solution: he partnered with banks to have people use their purchased properties as collateral to get the money from the banks.
The bank received the interest, while he received the loan; it was a perfect match for both of them.
Later, he realized that this way of making money was still too little, due to things like pre-sale properties, purchase restrictions, and shared area.
All of these moves were devised by Cheung Kong Holdings.
And he, Li Ka-shing, is the biggest boss of Cheung Kong Holdings. If these ideas weren't his, then who were?
This is the kind of vampire who tells Chen Dong that he's doing it for the good of the employees at Wanjia Company. Would Chen Dong believe that?
However, on the surface, Chen Dong nodded, "Li Sheng, you're right. We can't let the employees below suffer because of Jiang Wanming. They also have families, they also need to eat, and they need us to provide them with jobs."
Li Jiacheng laughed, a very happy laugh. This kid was quite sensible; his words hadn't been in vain.
However, before he could even enjoy his happiness for three seconds, Chen Dong's next words nearly made him fly into a rage.
Chen Dong thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mr. Li, what you said makes a lot of sense. I agree with your point of view in my heart, but I can't do it."
"Because my money didn't come from thin air. How can I explain this to my subordinates? What do you think?"
Chen Dong passed the ball back to Li Ka-shing, seemingly letting Li Ka-shing make the decision, but in reality, he was the one in control.
If Li Ka-shing dared to say that Chen Dong's money came from thin air, he would be slapping himself in the face.
Which businessman doesn't pursue profit? Charity has never been relevant to businessmen.
Superficial charity is merely a means to gain favor with others and enhance the company's reputation, ultimately aiming to obtain greater profits.
If Li Jiacheng says no, then he agrees with what Chen Dong just said, and it seems that he has entered a dead end no matter which option he chooses.
this......
Li Jiacheng looked at Li Xiaoman with a pleading gaze, as if asking her for help.
However, Li Xiaoman was powerless to help; why should she help Li Jiacheng?
But?
In fact, Li Xiaoman actually spoke up for Li Jiacheng, saying, "Mr. Chen, I think Mr. Li would rather see that all the employees under Wanjia Company have food to eat, right?"
"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant."
Li Jiacheng nodded quickly. With Li Xiaoman speaking up, the atmosphere wasn't as tense as it had been just now.
Chen Dong smiled and gave Li Xiaoman a meaningful look. What a formidable woman! She saw right through him.
