Chapter 297: Inside and Outside the Circle
March 18th. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Half past six in the evening.
The "2006 Charity Night, Love for Su'an" large-scale charity gala jointly organized by Jiangbei Civil Affairs Department, Jiangbei Radio and Television Station and Jiangbei Daily Media Group was held in the No. 2 studio hall of Jiangbei TV Station.
Su'an City is the prefecture-level city where Monkey Head Mountain is located.
Outside the door of Jiangbei TV Station, the long red carpet was laid all the way to the No. 2 studio hall.
Luxury cars or restrained luxury cars stopped outside the red carpet, and celebrities stepped on the red carpet.
Because the party has not officially opened, these celebrities are not in a hurry to enter, standing on both sides of the red carpet or waiting for people, or chatting.
The flow of people is in groups of three or five, divided into small circles.
"Lao Chen, the stock you recommended to me last time went up, and I made a small profit, thank you, hahaha!"
"You really bought it? Damn, I didn't change it if I knew it, and I lost hundreds of thousands. ”
"Lao Chen, you didn't buy your feelings, did you? You are a big fool, you deserve to die!"
"Old Song, are you sorry to say this? If it weren't for me, would you be able to earn it?"
……
"Mr. Wang, I heard that it was the son of the Xu family who came to Longhua this time, have you dealt with it?"
"I'm not very familiar, I've seen it a few times, my ability is not weak, and the tiger father has no dogs. ”
……
"Sister Ruoqing, they said that Hong Liang also came today, is it true?"
"What! Hong Liang is also here? I like to watch his play the most, have you seen his recent performance of "Valley of Hundred Flowers"? It was so touching that I cried several times. ”
"Your tears are low, and I don't like it. I like to listen to Yang Si's songs, Yang Si is coming over tonight, and I'll take a photo with her later. ”
……
Just as the crowd was chatting, at 6:45, a black sedan with smooth curves stopped outside the red carpet.
The people who came to the party today are not of low grade, and their vision is naturally not bad.
Many people recognized the Maybach, and someone asked in a low voice, "Who is here?"
"I don't know, is it who changed the car?"
"Isn't it Longhua's Xu Gongzi? This car is not cheap, and a car is worth my year's profit. ”
"Lao Huang, you don't come. Last month you made more than five million dollars in a business, when I don't know?"
"Hahaha, the news is well-informed, you have heard about it. ”
The crowd discussed and discussed, but no one made a gaffe.
Although a Maybach is rare, there are not a few people who can afford it today, and if you really have to grit your teeth, there are at least ten or twenty people on the red carpet who can afford it.
However, attention to the ceremony is indispensable.
After all, Maybach is also a world-class luxury car, although it is not the top one, but there are not too many people who can afford to drive Maybach in Pingchuan, and the status is naturally not bad.
When Li Dong got out of the car, the atmosphere on the red carpet was slightly silent for a moment.
Then someone whispered: "Li Dong in the distance." ”
"The kid who smashed the old Qi club?"
"It's him, don't look at his age, he's also a ruthless character. ”
"Cut! What kind of ruthless character is he? If I were Lao Qi, this matter would not be left like this, the young man does not know the height of the sky, and when we started from scratch, he still wore open crotch pants and ran all over the ground. ”
"You can't say that......"
Li Dong didn't hear everyone's discussion, and he wouldn't say anything if he heard it.
Li Dong got out of the car, looked around, and found that there were few people he knew.
Because of Shen Qian's words, Li Dong deliberately observed, and sure enough, the crowd was divided according to the circle.
People in small circles get together, more than seven or eight people, as few as three or two, and few are really alone.
Li Dong stood for a moment, but no one came to greet him.
But a man who drove a Volvo next to him just got out of the car, and three or four people next to him stepped forward to greet him, and then the Volvo man blended into the circle, and after a while, there was a few laughs and conversations.
Li Dong stood on the side of the car, looking at the scene in front of him, and a thought appeared in his mind, this is the "circle"?
Shen Qian said that he was excluded from the business circle, and now it seems that this is the case.
Li Dong stayed in place for two or three minutes, but no one stepped forward to greet him.
On the one hand, Li Dong is not familiar with them, and on the other hand, Li Dong is too young, and everyone has a natural sense of rejection.
They have struggled all their lives, but the result is not as good as a young man, people are emotional, and jealousy is also a nature.
Of course, there is another reason, the boss who is rumored to be far away is very domineering, and this kind of person is not very pleasant in the business world.
Sun Tao and Wang Yue, who came with Li Dong, saw that Li Dong was standing still, and Wang Yue said in a low voice: "Mr. Li, let's go in first." ”
Li Dong didn't say anything, and only said after a while: "Go in." ”
As soon as he took a step, the crowd suddenly stirred.
Then Li Dong heard someone shouting: "Mr. Xu, you are here!"
"Uncle Liu, I haven't seen you for a few days, I'm much younger. ”
"Hahaha, Mr. Xu will make me happy, half of my body is buried in the ground, I am still young, you are really young. ”
……
"Mr. Xu, is Chairman Xu well?"
"Okay, okay, I still had a few big bowls at noon today, he was still running when I came just now, thank you Mr. Zhao for your concern. ”
……
"Mr. Xu, last time you had a treat, you said that you didn't have time to go, but you have time tomorrow, right?"
"Boss Qian, I really didn't have time last time, it's okay tomorrow, Boss Qian, you open your mouth, let me go anywhere, do you think you're so dissatisfied?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied, Mr. Xu appreciates his face, I will definitely entertain you tomorrow." ”
……
Li Dong looked at Xu Shengzhe, who was surrounded by the crowd, and it would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed at all.
Xu Shengzhe is just a lucky person who is blessed by his father's shadow in his eyes, but he is a hundred times more popular than him.
This is not only because of his identity as Longhua's future successor, but more importantly, Xu Shengzhe is better than him.
More than 90% of the crowd around Xu Shengzhe are small bosses, and the assets of Longhua Group are as high as 10 billion, but Xu Shengzhe treats people with a spring breeze.
Whether it is a big businessman or a small boss, facing Xu Shengzhe has a feeling of spring breeze.
Xu Shengzhe did not ignore the small businessmen who came forward to curry favor, and made those businessmen smile in a few words, but in fact, Xu Shengzhe did not accept anything, just said a few polite words.
Li Dong looked at this scene and couldn't help but think, "Can I do this?"
After thinking about it for a while, Li Dong felt that he couldn't do it.
If the same scene happened to him, Li Dong would have dealt with it at most, and there would be absolutely no way to show a smile like Xu Shengzhe.
That smile didn't seem fake at all, as if it was joy from the heart.
Whether it is pretending or Xu Shengzhe is really so kind, Li Dong admires him, he will definitely not be able to do this kind of thing himself.
Just as Li Dong was pondering, Xu Shengzhe also saw Li Dong outside the crowd, with a slight look of surprise on his face, and shouted: "Mr. Li!"
At this moment, Xu Shengzhe is the focus outside the red carpet, and as soon as he speaks, everyone's eyes can't help but fall on Li Dong.
Li Dong stopped, nodded slightly, and said, "Mr. Xu, meet again." ”
Xu Shengzhe walked over with a smile and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Li, you are also here, I knew that you were coming, so I came with you." ”
Li Dong chuckled lightly and was about to make a perfunctory remark.
But I thought of Shen Qian's words, don't be a lone person, don't wander outside the circle.
Li Dong took back the words that came to his mouth, and said with a smile: "You didn't say anything about this in advance, I thought it was Chairman Xu who came over in person, but I was a little worried about his old man, how dare I go with him." ”
Xu Shengzhe suddenly smiled: "It's my fault, next time, next time, if there is such an opportunity, I will definitely inform Mr. Li in advance." ”
The two chatted energetically, and the eyes of the people next to them also changed slightly.
To say that Li Dong was just a lone traveler before, and he had never dealt with them, everyone was also very unfamiliar with Li Dong, so naturally they didn't pay much attention to it.
But when they saw that Li Dong was actually talking and laughing with Longhua's Tai/Ziye, everyone's psychology changed a little.
Longhua Group is not a small family, it is the overlord of the real estate industry in Jiangbei.
Among the big and small bosses present, thirty percent of them directly or indirectly rely on Longhua Group for food.
Now that Xu Shengzhe and Li Dong are on good terms, other people's mentality has changed a little, whether they are afraid of Qi Guanghe or jealous of Li Dong.
In the interval between the conversation between Li Dong and the two, someone next to him said enthusiastically: "Mr. Xu, do you know Mr. Li?"
Xu Shengzhe nodded and said with a smile: "The project of the Yuanfang Building is what we Longhua is doing, and I also had some personal relations with Mr. Li before, and the relationship is not bad, Mr. Li was right?"
Li Dong also smiled: "What Mr. Xu said is, but since the relationship is good, you still call me Mr. Li? ”
"Okay, then I'm not hypocritical, I'll call you Li Dong, and you can call me by my name directly. Xu Shengzhe laughed and said.
The relationship between the two of them was a little closer, and the person who had just asked hurriedly smiled when he saw this: "Mr. Li, I knew that you and Mr. Xu knew each other, so I asked Mr. Xu to help me introduce you." I'm Du Hui from Shangyi Media, you can just call me Lao Du.
I've been looking for a chance to meet you, but unfortunately I didn't have an acquaintance to introduce me, and I was embarrassed to come to the door cheekily, but today I finally found an opportunity. ”
After speaking, Du Hui handed over a business card with both hands.
Li Dong took it with both hands very politely, and then handed a business card to Du Hui as well.
Li Dong said with a smile: "Mr. Du, I should say that sentence just now, I am preparing to make a promotional video in the distance recently, and we can come out and talk together when we are free." ”
"That's a good feeling! I'll just wait for Mr. Li to contact me. Du Hui immediately laughed when he heard this.
Yuanfang has done a lot of publicity before, and it can be regarded as a potential big customer.
In the past, Du Hui didn't want to do business in distant places, but I heard that the CEO in the distance is very lonely and low-key, and outsiders can hardly see this person when they go to find him.
Du Hui contacted the public relations department from afar twice, and the people from afar were quite polite, but what he revealed was that the boss was not ready to find a foreign company to help with publicity, and after a few times, Du Hui also dispelled the idea of doing business in the distance.
When he first saw Li Dong today, he felt that the rumors were true.
The distant boss was too young, and there was a kind of indifference on his face that rejected people thousands of miles away, and many people who wanted to get close to the front had to dispel their thoughts when they saw Li Dong's expression.
If you are treated coldly in front of so many people, it will be a shame to be thrown home.
If it weren't for the time when Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe were chatting just now, Du Hui felt that Li Dong's personality was not as indifferent as rumored by the outside world, and he would not have stepped forward to greet him.
Now it seems that Li Dong, who is far away, is indifferent, but he is quite easy to deal with.
This is also what Li Dong has not paid attention to, it is difficult for him to smile in front of strangers.
In his previous life, he could, but in this life, he may have been too wary, so he couldn't help but show an indifferent look, maybe it was the subconscious insecurity that made him want to use this attitude to protect himself.
It doesn't matter if you're in the company, everyone is used to it.
But in the eyes of outsiders, Li Dong is a little mysterious, and the rumors have been exaggerated a lot, saying that the distant boss has a withdrawn personality and is domineering.
When Li Dong and Qi Guanghe clashed, even if they knew that it was Li Dong who Qi Guanghe provoked first, outsiders still felt that Li Dong was too much.
Because Qi Guanghe is one of them, and he is also an old-timer in the business world.
Li Dong had no one in the circle to help him speak and explain, and after a few times, Li Dong became a typical example of no one in his eyes and bullying others.
Of course, businessmen are profit-seeking.
Seeing that Xu Shengzhe and Du Hui were happy to chat with Li Dong, after a while, a few more people gathered around Li Dong.
Everyone exchanged business cards and exchanged a few polite words to each other, which was considered to be acquaintance.
Naturally, they didn't talk too much when they met for the first time, and Du Hui and the others saw that Xu Shengzhe and Li Dong were talking happily, and they didn't bother, and they dispersed after saying a few words of "contact in the future".
As soon as the person left, Li Dong exhaled softly.
Seeing this, Xu Shengzhe laughed softly: "Isn't it a little unaccustomed?"
Li Dong didn't hide it, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, some." ”
Xu Shengzhe was surprised and said: "At the beginning, I was similar to you, I felt that everyone was too enthusiastic, and the enthusiasm was a little fake. However, after a long time, I have become accustomed to it, communication is originally a part of life, and although everything goes well in my own world, there are few people in the world who can completely ignore the influence of the outside world. ”
Xu Shengzhe's words are similar to Shen Qian's.
One of the two is the daughter of a political tycoon, and the other is the son of a business tycoon.
Since even they can't do what they want, Li Dong naturally can't either.
Thinking of this, Li Dong's awkwardness gradually dissipated, and he said sincerely to Xu Shengzhe: "Thank you." ”
Xu Shengzhe is a businessman, and he is still a shrewd and capable businessman, so naturally he will not maintain a close relationship with Li Dong in front of outsiders for no reason.
He and Li Dong have only met once, and the deal has not been negotiated, and the relationship between the two is not much better than that of strangers.
But Xu Shengzhe obviously came to Li Dong's station today to help Li Dong develop contacts, and Li Dong received this favor.
Xu Shengzhe was not surprised when he heard this, if Li Dong couldn't see this, it would be in vain to blind him with so much net worth.
Seeing Li Dong thanking him, Xu Shengzhe said with a smile: "Thank you, you don't have to, next time you want to sell shares, remember to find me." ”
Li Dong nodded and said, "Definitely, if there is really this day, I will definitely look for you." ”
After that, the two looked at each other and smiled, the relationship was really closer, not as pretentious as just now.
