Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 1076 A Lean Camel Is Bigger Than a Horse

Ever since he knew that Tong Lele and Lao Bai would not get married, Dong Qiangqiang had predicted that Tong Lele would sooner or later separate from Le Bai. He analyzed that the two had a long-term friendship as classmates, and now they were at the stage of talking about marriage. Even if they did not end up as husband and wife, they would not break up. How to break up decently was the key. The last time the investors put pressure on him, Tong Lele would have been cleared out together with Dong Qiangqiang, but at Lao Bai's insistence, both of them stayed as small shareholders. Although he was not surprised that Tong Lele withdrew from Le Bai, Dong Qiangqiang did not expect that this day would come so soon, and he did not expect that she would suddenly engage in a music copyright job that he had never heard her talk about. But whether it was true or not, this reason was decent enough and related to Tong Lele's major. Even if Lao Bai was reluctant to let go, it would not be good to force the cow to drink water, not to mention that the two were no longer boyfriend and girlfriend. Going with the flow and sending blessings were the only decent choices.

Because the relationship with Lao Bai became delicate, Dong Qiangqiang was embarrassed to ask Tong Lele directly whether Lao Bai had tried to keep her. However, not long after Tong Lele told him verbally, he received company letters from Le Bai China and Le Bai Germany, asking him to cooperate in signing the "Shareholder Change Agreement" to urge Tong Lele to complete the industrial and commercial change process as soon as possible and officially withdraw from the list of visible shareholders. He noticed that the agreements sent to him were signed by Lao Bai's name, and then he realized that Lao Bai not only knew but also agreed to Tong Lele's request. To his surprise, Lao Bai didn't call him for this, and it seemed that he didn't learn more about Tong Lele's intentions through him. It seems that the two have indeed broken up peacefully and there is no need to say more.

A few weeks passed and Lao Bai didn't contact Dong Qiangqiang, but Xu Tongying called him and talked to him in a rapid manner. After Dong Qiangqiang hung up the phone, he took a long time to digest the information Xu Tongying gave him.

Based on what was reported in the news, in the newspapers, and various information Xu Tongying observed around her, she believed that SARS had been effectively controlled nationwide by the end of May, and that June was basically the time to completely eliminate SARS and wait for the official announcement that SARS was officially over.

This was not much different from the information Dong Qiangqiang had, and it confirmed what Dong's mother said. Dong Qiangqiang's heart became more and more stable.

Xu Tongying explained that the travel plan designed by Dong Qiangqiang based on the one-euro hotel was eventually handed over to Xu Tongying through Lao Bai after being "outsourced" by Dong Qiangqiang to Lao Bai. Of course, Lao Bai did this at the instruction of Dong Qiangqiang. Lao Bai not only came up with several carefully designed travel plans, but also gave three gross profit margins for each plan, namely optimistic, neutral and pessimistic, to avoid being squeezed by investors for his blind optimism.

In order to prevent investors and shareholders from finding faults and digging up old accounts, Lao Bai was happy to reveal all the real data of Lebai in the first quarter that he had been hiding and unwilling to show to investors. He knew clearly: there was no need to wait for the end of SARS, the long-suppressed demand for overseas travel in China would see a retaliatory growth, and Lebai must occupy this time window, at this time time is really money. Face is no longer important, even if investors scold him, he can't care so much, the inside is the real gold, he only hopes that Xu Tongying and investors can make efforts as soon as possible, and continuously send all the tourist groups and business groups that can be received in the country to him. Of course, it would be best if he can use the money.

After all, the sword of Damocles of performance betting is hanging over his head.

Although Xu Tongying was dissatisfied with Lao Bai's previous actions, they were all in the same boat after all. After a few criticisms, he did not make things difficult for him. After carefully studying Lao Bai's plan, he found that there were not many radical aspects, and it was generally quite standard and stable. So he did not make any changes and directly took the plan to the investors and shareholders for comments. According to the investment agreement, although Lao Bai is the largest shareholder and actual controller of Le Bai, he still needs to obtain the consent of the investors and shareholders before using large amounts of funds.

But to her surprise, the investor rejected the plan without even looking at it. The reason for the rejection was not that the business logic or financial forecast of the plan was questionable, but that Lebai's first-quarter data was extremely tragic. Although SARS was a factor, the more important reason was that Lao Bai, as the soul of the company, had done nothing and was only depressed. In the final analysis, Lao Bai was not up to the task.

Xu Tongying knew clearly that this was just an excuse. She was aware that Lao Bai had always had a bad relationship with the investors, especially Mr. Tang, the more powerful of the two investors.

Mr. Tang was actually the follow-up investor in Lebai Angel Round. The lead investor was not him, but another investor, Mr. Ji. However, Mr. Ji did not understand the tourism industry. Although he had a large family, he only made financial investments. Lebai was in its early stages, and he could not make up his mind, so he pulled in Mr. Tang, who understood the tourism industry better. Mr. Tang was a few years older than Mr. Ji and had a great influence on Mr. Ji. At the beginning, he was not very optimistic about Lao Bai. He always felt that his white hair concealed his real age, and he was not married. In the eyes of Mr. Tang, a Cantonese man, a man who was not married in his thirties was a complete loser. Without a partner, how could he do a good business? But Mr. Ji was very persistent, because Mr. Tang and Mr. Ji had other interests to exchange, and finally he could not stand Mr. Ji's soft and hard grinding, and followed with a small investment. Therefore, although Mr. Ji was the lead investor, he obeyed Mr. Tang in terms of business operations. The two always maintained the same opinion, and they were acting in concert.

Since Mr. Tang rejected Lao Bai, there is no reason for Mr. Ji to support Lao Bai anymore.

In Xu Tongying's view, this was an opportunity for the investors to blackmail Lao Bai, so she told Lao Bai directly: as long as he could be humble on the phone, say a few nice words, coax the investors and give the investors a way out, the matter would be over. Moreover, due to the special situation of SARS, Lao Bai did not have to fly back to China in person to accompany Lebai for drinks and meals and apologize. The money Lao Bai needed could be transferred to Lebai's account in Germany soon.

After listening to her, Lao Bai hung up the phone without saying anything. Xu Tongying thought that Lao Bai would admit his mistake after two days of holding back, but she never expected that Lao Bai did not push her at all, nor did he call the two investors, let alone give in. He just told Xu Tongying one sentence: If she has a group, give it to him. No matter how many, Lao Bai can handle it. A lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Later, Xu Tongying learned from a channel that also knew Lao Bai that Lao Bai not only quickly organized a small group of less than ten people to a small town in Germany, but also ingeniously organized a welcoming ceremony. The most outrageous thing was that he had no idea what connections he had used and how much money he had spent, but he even invited the mayor of the small town to the stage as a guest of the welcoming ceremony, and even pulled out a jaw-dropping giant banner: Warmly welcome the first Chinese tourist group to arrive in XXXX City after SARS. The flashing lights at the scene were all printed in the city's newspapers, and of course this scene was also posted on the homepage of Lebai's official website.

  Dong Qiangqiang's first feeling after hearing this was also surprise, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood: In the past six months, everyone has begun to get used to Lao Bai's decadence and frustration, but has ignored his accumulation and precipitation in the previous few years. How could a person who has the courage to negotiate commissions with different luxury stores, who can have exchanges with local snakes on the streets of many European cities, who can walk out of that island alive, and who is brave and resourceful in the face of the snakehead, be a sick cat who loves drinking?

Thinking that Lao Bai finally woke up, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but smile. He hoped that Lao Bai would cherish the time, as it was not too late. (End of this chapter)
