Chapter 939: New Year’s Party
…
During the Spring Festival of 2002, Liu Dong did not spend a very quiet time. As his status in the business world continued to rise, especially after the fermentation of "Times Magazine", in the past few days just after the New Year, he came to the door for various reasons.
There is an endless stream of people visiting!
Everything in the world is for profit, and everything in the world is for profit. In less than three or four days, Liu Dong finally understood the true meaning of this sentence!
However, just after the New Year, Liu Dong also wanted to pay New Year greetings to others. There is no need to count on the cheap master Liu Dong. The old man didn't even come out to celebrate the New Year, and he didn't know what he was tinkering with in the carving room!
I went back to my hometown to pay New Year's greetings to my master, and then met a few good old classmates. Of course, the most important thing was to meet Mei Xue. On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Dong came to the capital again. A hundred years for Mr. Li is indispensable!
Of course, it is inevitable to be boasted about, and by the way, let me explain the reason for the sudden increase in net worth!
Fortunately, with the support of gambling stones, Liu Dong could barely make it through!
Next, after Mr. Qi Gong, Mr. Xu Bangda, and these familiar seniors in the industry paid their last respects one by one, Liu Dong's purpose of coming to the capital this time has been completed for a quarter!
"Brother Zhou, I'm afraid I have to apologize to you for what happened in Jinzhong this time. It's not that I don't want to invest, it's that the conditions between the two parties are really far apart!"
In the club in heaven and earth, Liu Dong and Zhou Bin gathered together again, and of course Li Yuncong was indispensable! But what surprised Liu Dong was that Lu Mingyuan, who had met him several times before, was also there!
Because of Li Yuncong's relationship, Liu Dong and the other party can be considered friends. ○It's just not as close as Zhou Bin and Li Yuncong!
"I know. I don't blame you this time. I didn't expect that the Jinzhong Municipal Government would come up with such harsh conditions. Let alone you, I wouldn't be able to accept it even if I went there!" Zhou Bin shook his head.
Hearing what the other party said, Liu Dong felt relieved!
"But Xiaodong, you really impress me. In less than two years, you have appeared in Time Magazine in the United States!" Zhou Bin said with a tone of deep admiration and even envy in his tone.
Before the party, Liu Dong knew that the other party would definitely say this, so he was already prepared in his heart at this moment.
"I'm a little surprised too. But it was only mentioned in the economic section of Time magazine. When will it be on the cover, I will be really happy!" Liu Dong said.
"You're a guy who can stand up and talk without pain, and you just mentioned it on the economic section. If we can be mentioned on it, let alone the economic section, we can do it in every corner!" Li Yuncong next to him said with envy.
Because of the relationship between Taizu and Emperor Taizong, Time Magazine is undoubtedly the most powerful among all recognized magazines in the country! Both the political and business circles hope that their names can appear in it, but it is a pity that the stingy and arrogant Americans
.Rarely given such a chance!
On the contrary, the 'China threat theory' often occupies the main page of major American media.
"Xiaodong is probably the youngest billionaire in the world!" Lu Mingyuan said enviously.
Having studied in the United States, his pursuit and desire for wealth is undoubtedly more urgent than that of Zhou Bin and Li Yuncong. It was also today that he got the news about Liu Dong's three-person gathering. That's why he came here with Li Yuncong specifically in order to be able to meet Liu Dong.
The relationship with Dong, a rising business star, can go even further!
Although China is an official-based society, and the status of businessmen is lower, when a person's wealth accumulates to a certain level, his status will also undergo fundamental changes. Liu Dong is now worth tens of billions, and
Still measured in US dollars, this gave him the qualification to enter Zhongnanhai!
Being received by national leaders is no longer difficult for Liu Dong now!
Therefore, in the small circle with Zhou Bin and Li Yuncong, his status is also very different from before.
In the past, Zhou Bin was polite to him like a friend, but now there is more respect in his tone!
And this is the most obvious change!
However, Liu Dong did not forget about this respect. Relationships and favors are the same as the relationship between husband and wife. If you want to maintain long-term intimacy, you need to manage it carefully!
Therefore, this time Liu Dong came up with an idea that he had been considering for a long time!
Looking at the envious eyes of the three people, Liu Dong said: "Brother Zhou, how much money can you still use in your hands now?"
"What's the meaning?"
Zhou Bin had some questions, but the speculation in his heart made him vaguely expectant and even more excited!
"Now I have a good business with huge profits, and I would like to invite you, Brother Zhou, to join me. Of course, if Yun Cong and Mingyuan are also interested, they might as well invest together. I guarantee that you will make a profit without losing any money!"
Seeing the confident look on Liu Dong's face, Li Yuncong, who was a little impatient, immediately asked: "Xiaodong, please stop being so pretentious and tell me what kind of good business can make a profit without losing money!"
"Yes, Xiaodong, tell me quickly!" Lu Mingyuan also said.
However, Zhou Bin was obviously more calm than them, but the urgency in his eyes was also quite obvious.
"It's like this. The Macau government will auction three gambling licenses in the middle of this year. I have jointly registered an entertainment company with Ms. He Chaoqiong from the Macau He family to participate in the competition for gambling licenses. I believe it is not difficult to obtain a license.
Difficulty! In addition, I believe you will understand even if I don't tell you how profitable the gambling industry is. Now this opportunity is before you. As long as you are willing to invest, everyone will calculate the shares according to the investment, and we will make money together!" Liu Dongdao.
After Liu Dong finished speaking, the eyes of Zhou Bin and the others suddenly lit up. They naturally knew that the gambling industry made money. If nothing else, just look at Macau gambling king He's net worth of tens of billions of dollars!
However, they are also hesitant to participate in the gambling industry, because unlike Liu Dong, they are just simple businessmen. As long as it is not illegal, they can invest in anything that makes money. But Zhou Bin and the others are obviously not able to do that. Although they are also willing to make money,
But whether it is the Zhou family, the Li family, or even the Lu family, their foundation has never been in business, but in politics. The most important and core thing for their family is to always ensure that the family remains standing in the political world.
As children of the family, their words and deeds outside always regard this as the unshakable fundamental principle!
But the lottery industry, that is, gambling, has always been involved in human production activities for thousands of years, but people, especially the Chinese, really love and hate it, and they still hate it far more than they love it!
It is precisely because of these considerations that Zhou Bin and the others appear to be so scrupulous. Even people with a carefree personality like Li Yuncong are hesitant!
Of course, Liu Dong also understood their concerns and immediately said from the side: "Brother Zhou, actually you don't have to worry, the entertainment company we formed is not a listed company, and there is no need to publish the list of shareholders, so the outside world will not understand the company's equity structure!"
Liu Dong's explanation made the three people's eyes light up again.
The reason why they are hesitant about the performance of the gambling industry is that they are afraid of damaging their family reputation. But if they can make a fortune silently, it will undoubtedly be a good thing, and it is also legal to make money, and others can't say anything.
!
"Xiaodong, I need to seriously consider this matter!" Zhou Bin, the oldest and most stable person, said solemnly after suppressing the impulse in his heart.
"It doesn't matter. Whether the impact of this matter is big or small, it should be seriously considered! There is still half a year until the license is issued, so there is no rush!" Liu Dong said.
The reason why he threw out this hugely profitable gambling project was not only to relieve Zhou Bin and the others of some envy and even jealousy caused by their soaring wealth and to maintain their friendship, but also to deepen their mutual understanding.
Interest ties.
Emotional connection, coupled with common interests, can create an unbreakable and closely related alliance!
After Liu Dong finished speaking, Li Yuncong and Lu Mingyuan were relieved. They really didn't want to miss this opportunity to make money legally, but they also had to discuss this matter with their elders in the family! They couldn't make a hasty decision.
"Xiaodong, no matter whether this thing succeeds or not, we still accept your love!" Lu Mingyuan said with a hint of gratitude.
"Mingyuan is right!" Li Yuncong nodded, with a look of agreement.
"Haha, please don't say thank you. As a friend, I still have something to ask for your help!" Liu Dong said.
"What is it? As long as we can do it, we will never refuse!" Li Yuncong said, patting his chest.
After listening to his words, Zhou Bin and Lu Mingyuan next to them also nodded.
"That's it, little brother, I had enough of Asia Television in Hong Kong some time ago. Brother Zhou should know about this!"
"Indeed, I have to say that gambling in Macau made you a lot of money!" Zhou Bin nodded with a smile.
Liu Dong also smiled in agreement and continued: "Now ATV's cable TV and the newly launched Asia Satellite TV channel want to launch in China. The application materials were submitted last year, but there is no news yet.
So I can only ask a few brothers here to see if anyone has a connection with radio and television and ask for help!"
"Haha, Xiaodong, you have found the right person this time!" After finishing speaking, Zhou Bin focused his eyes on Lu Mingyuan next to him.
And Li Yuncong said directly: "Mingyuan's second uncle is the executive deputy director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, specializing in television. Asking him to come forward to guarantee it is more effective than asking anyone else!"
Lu Mingyuan didn't refuse, "I'll ask you when I get back. As long as it's not a matter of national policy, there shouldn't be any big problem!"
"Then I'll say thank you here first!" Liu Dong said happily.
"Hey, saying thank you is a big deal! We are all friends!"
