The next day.
Pengcheng High-Tech Industrial Park.
Chen Dong, Wolong, and their accompanying bodyguard team appeared in a grand procession at Longteng headquarters.
"Boss, it really is you." The moment Annie saw Chen Dong appear, she ignored the stares of others and rushed into his arms.
Chen Dong gently ruffled Annie's hair and said softly, "You've worked hard these past few days."
"It's not hard work, I just missed you." Annie felt Chen Dong's strong heartbeat and was reluctant to get up for a long time. This period of time was not as easy as she said on the surface.
In reality, Chen Dong's domestic assets account for a very small percentage of his total assets, less than a fraction of his total assets. However, the effort he has devoted to these assets far exceeds that of his other assets.
Take Longteng Group as an example; it covers many aspects, including electronics, hotels, real estate, automobiles, and many other fields.
Logically, with so many businesses, one shouldn't be running around aimlessly, but rather focusing on managing them diligently. But in this day and age, that's not the case at all.
In some respects, China's industrial chain is relatively backward. Many raw materials, high-end equipment, and technologies are all imported. It's not that we don't want to produce domestic products, but that our technological capabilities are insufficient.
The West's blockade of China was not limited to the economic and military spheres; it also included the embargo on instruments, equipment, and technology.
Take the ballpoint pen that everyone uses every day, for example. No domestic company can produce the steel ball in the pen tip. Chen Dong's focus on overseas markets is largely aimed at bridging the gap between the West and the East.
"Have you eaten yet? I'll have the kitchen prepare some food." Upon seeing Chen Dong, Annie instantly transformed from a decisive and efficient female CEO into a gentle and submissive woman, her gaze never leaving Chen Dong for a moment.
"We'll eat later, my brother-in-law and the others are watching."
It would have been better if he hadn't said that. As soon as he did, Lin Zhiyuan and the others all turned their heads to the side, pretending they hadn't seen or heard anything.
Annie's personality is naturally very flamboyant; otherwise, she wouldn't have played the boss's secretary game with Chen Dong. She raised her fair chin and said, "Let them look. I don't care anyway."
"Nonsense!" Chen Dong scolded, then looked at Lin Zhiyuan and the others, and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, Hua Zi, Manager Wang, it's been a while. Come, sit down and let's chat."
Upon hearing this, Hua Zi rushed over and gave Chen Dong a hug. "Brother Dong, it's good that you're back. If you hadn't come back, I don't know what would have happened to you."
Looking at his former good brother Hua Zi, Chen Dong was still very happy, which at least proved one thing: Hua Zi was still his good brother.
"Don't just stand there, come and sit down." Chen Dong pulled Hua Zi to sit on the sofa, followed by Lin Zhiyuan, Wang An, and several other executives. Only after they had all sat down did he plop down in the head seat, while Annie once again took on the role of secretary, serving tea and water to everyone.
"Mr. An, I can do it myself, I can do it myself."
"Mr. An, we can handle this ourselves."
"Don't be so polite, we're all family." Annie smiled, revealing her teeth. If anyone was happiest, it was her.
Seeing this, Chen Dong chuckled and said, "Annie is right. We're all on the same side. It's just a cup of tea; it doesn't matter who drinks it."
Seeing Chen Dong say that, the group sat back down on the sofa.
Hua Zi looked at Chen Dong and spoke first: "Brother Dong, a lot has happened while you were away. Jiang Fei and A Long ran off with all the company's money and started their own business outside. I called them last time and got a good scolding."
Speaking of the two, Hua Zi was furious. These two were among the first to work alongside Chen Dong. Back then, Jiang Fei, A Long, and A Hu were just street thugs. If it weren't for Chen Dong, he might have been in jail by now, instead of being as successful as he is now.
But when they saw that something had happened here, not only did they refuse to stay, but what's worse, they ran off with all the money in the company's accounts. Now, the companies they used to manage have been shut down, and their employees have either run away or caused trouble, leaving the people in Shenzhen in a state of panic and at a loss for what to do.
Annie also went to Yanjing during this period, but the law enforcement agencies there refused to lift the lockdown, focusing on the issue of problems with the accounts inside. But the key point is that the account books had already been embezzled by Jiang Fei and A Long, along with all the money in the company's accounts. Where did the account books come from?
"snort!"
Even though Chen Dong hadn't been involved in these matters, he could still tell.
It wasn't Jiang Fei and A Long who were causing trouble. If no one was backing them, they wouldn't dare do such a thing even if they had a thousand lives. Moreover, I just heard from Hua Zi that Annie went to Yanjing, but the law enforcement there still refuses to lift the lockdown, and the reasons they gave are utterly ridiculous.
Financial problems, what financial problems?
As long as there is no violation of domestic laws and regulations, there is no possibility of any financial problems. Besides, Longteng is a private enterprise and a foreign-invested enterprise. In recent years, domestic business policies have stipulated that foreign-invested enterprises that invest in factories and start companies in China can enjoy a three-year tax exemption and a two-year tax exemption policy.
The meaning is clear: no tax is required. If it's not tax, then what is it?
As someone who had been through it all, and especially familiar with this period of history, Chen Dong understood perfectly well. It was obvious that someone was deliberately causing trouble, and this person was no ordinary individual. To be able to shut down a foreign investment company so easily required immense power; it certainly wasn't something that could be done by a lowly thug.
Of course, this is also why Anne didn't use diplomacy to exert pressure. If she had reported the matter through diplomatic channels, frankly speaking, it would have been a diplomatic incident. Foreign companies are being treated unfairly in their home country.
