Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 1105. Give a slap in the face and give a sweet date, where is the date?

After Dong Qiangqiang asked, he suddenly remembered the question he asked Lao Ding. He was startled and thought to himself: Could it be that Xu Tongying was asking about Lao Bai opening an account for someone else? Lao Bai was very secretive at the time. He told Duanmu the details after he had done it. If it weren't for the fact that Duanmu and he were close, Lao Bai would know that he couldn't hide it from him. He might not have mentioned a word to him. But even if he knew about it, he still didn't know the details to this day. And not only is Lao Bai tight-lipped, but in retrospect, Lao Ding, who Lao Bai picked, is also a tight-lipped person, unlike Lei Lanting and Li Lei. I think it's because Lao Bai needs someone he can trust by his side after he has drifted away from Dong Qiangqiang, so he didn't hide the matter (opening an account) from Lao Ding.

  Thinking of this, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but cast his eyes again to the distant Lao Ding, who was now surrounded by several elderly aunts, enthusiastically explaining the scenery in the distance. From this moment on, Lao Ding became different in Dong Qiangqiang's eyes. He was curious about how much Lao Ding knew about Lao Bai, and wondered if he was also a link in the profit chain?

Xu Tongying asked a few more questions in a roundabout way, but seeing that Dong Qiangqiang didn't respond, he didn't know whether he really didn't know or was pretending to be confused, so he just spoke frankly.

"Before SARS was over, Le Bai started to move around. Investors and shareholders saw this more clearly than anyone else. Of course, to be honest, this is what President Tang and President Ji have been looking forward to seeing. I remember that it was in July that Le Bai's momentum to grab orders continued to increase. The European travel circle was not big to begin with, and Le Bai had a good foundation. It was not surprising that it quickly became famous. It was a good thing for everyone."

"(I) haven't heard so many good news about Lebai for a long time. The last (good news) seemed to be the successful angel round of financing. I didn't expect that more than half a year has passed." Dong Qiangqiang looked at the army of dark clouds that were rolling towards him from a distance with great melancholy. The air began to be filled with the unique earthy smell before the rain. His nose tip felt cool, and the raindrops that seemed to be there and not there were faintly dripping on Dong Qiangqiang's nose, as if a heavy rain was just around the corner.

"But there are some unsatisfactory aspects of this good news. Compared with Lao Bai's activeness in business, he is extremely lazy in communicating with President Tang and President Ji about the second half of the year's plan. Not only did he not send an email, he did not even make a phone call. It is hard to imagine that this is the attitude of the head of an invested company towards investors. It is really chilling." Xu Tongying's tone became more serious and sad, as if Lao Bai had done something unforgivable. "Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is going to make up for the deficit in the first half of the year, it is also an indispensable link to communicate with investors on time, not to mention that this is his job. But I have to criticize you at this point," Xu Tongying suddenly changed the subject before Dong Qiangqiang could react. "When there are disagreements between the major shareholder and the investor shareholder, no, to be more precise, when there are different opinions, as a small shareholder, you not only failed to promote communication between the two parties and play the role of a lubricant, but also acted as a hands-off boss. It is really wrong. You are young and may not know about this kind of thing, but now I tell you, don't make such a low-level mistake again in the future."

The news from Li Lei had already made Dong Qiangqiang feel depressed, like a big ice block stuck in his chest that hadn't melted at all, making him feel cold in his heart. He couldn't even listen to the class well. Now he was suddenly criticized for no reason, and she didn't give him any chance to defend himself. Although he didn't know why she turned her dissatisfaction with Lao Bai towards himself, he still felt extremely unhappy from head to toe. If Lao Bai had a harmonious and pleasant relationship with the investor, he might choose to swallow his anger and pretend not to hear the other party's criticism, but Lao Bai's relationship with the other party had never been very good, so he didn't care. Could it be that... He replied with restraint: "I think the reason why Lao Bai has not contacted Mr. Tang and Mr. Ji for so long may be related to his disappointment with the investors. Since the SARS outbreak, they have not only failed to provide timely assistance, but also failed to provide the most basic icing on the cake for investors in the market. Lao Bai has mentioned more than once that if he could get more support at the first time, many things might not have the current results. (Investors) not letting him move part of the funds to Lebai in Germany is one thing. Oh, by the way, there is also the one-euro hotel project that we carefully prepared. Although you helped a lot, Mr. Tang What about Mr. Ji? I remember you told me that they rejected the plan without even looking at it, and the reason for the rejection was that Lao Bai was not good enough. But what was the result? For this project alone, Le Bai received 27 tourist groups, 27! It was a miracle. I don't know how Lao Bai did it, but he did it. If the two investors could have supported him earlier, would there have been a better result? I think that respect between people should be mutual. Whether it is the entrepreneurial team or the investor, everyone is equal and should work together to help each other get the cake in their hands. Do bigger things, rather than giving alms or preaching from a superior position, or even holding back. If Mr. Tang and Mr. Ji really have any resources and are willing to share them, I think Lao Bai will not ignore the communication, but more than half a year has passed, have they really given anything to Le Bai? Sorry, I really don’t know, I hope you can tell me, or they can’t give anything at all. "Although Dong Qiangqiang tried his best to control his tone, he still inevitably spoke faster and faster. He felt that there was a fire burning in his chest, and if it didn’t erupt quickly, it might burn his chest.

Xu Tongying didn't expect that her words would make Dong Qiangqiang so angry. It was also the first time she saw Dong Qiangqiang so angry. Dong Qiangqiang was right. Although Lao Bai did nothing in the first half of the year, the investors did not play any role either. She was speechless for a while and didn't speak for a long time.

Big drops of rain fell from the sky, hitting the ground, the roofs of cars parked on the roadside, telephone booths, and tourists from various countries who were jogging and laughing because they had no umbrellas.

Lao Ding directed the group members to enter the mall in an orderly manner to take shelter from the rain, and at the same time gestured to Dong Qiangqiang. Dong Qiangqiang nodded and raised his hand in understanding, then quickened his pace and ran towards the mall.

The noisy noise from Dong Qiangqiang's side moderately eased the awkwardness between him and Xu Tongying. Xu Tongying did not hang up the phone, but changed his tone and topic.

"The reason I asked you that question in the beginning was because Mr. Ji and Mr. Tang learned something that surprised them through a friend."

Dong Qiangqiang really wanted to ask her "Is it an accident that Lebai didn't go bankrupt?", but after venting his anger, his reason and emotion made him hold back from saying anything without thinking.

"What's the unexpected thing?"

"Old Bai is privately contacting other investors to prepare for the next round of financing," Xu Tongying said in a somewhat aggressive tone, "How much do you know about this?"

"I don't know anything about it," Dong Qiangqiang said nonchalantly, "No one told me, believe it or not."

"Lao Bai wants to raise funds, which is a good thing for Le Bai and the investors who came in the last round, that is, Mr. Tang and Mr. Ji, but why didn't he say hello to the two CEOs first? The two CEOs can also help find industry resources and familiar investment institutions to help the company's valuation reach a new level, which is beneficial to everyone. It is really weird that Lao Bai wants to find money but doesn't say hello to the current investors. At least he should tell the two CEOs about his thoughts on the next round of valuation, but he chose to say nothing. This can only mean one thing, that is, he already has negative thoughts or resistance to Mr. Tang and Mr. Ji, which is very unfavorable for him to move forward. To put it bluntly, the number of institutions investing in this industry is not much, not much, and if Mr. Tang and Mr. Ji are not happy, he will definitely not be able to find new investors. Even if he finds (new investors for the next round), if Mr. Tang and Mr. Ji do not sign the company's capital increase agreement, new investors will still not be able to come in."

  The raindrops in the sky finally turned into a drizzle, and Dong Qiangqiang's heart slowly calmed down. He was able to savor the meaning of the other party's words. If the previous communication was normal, the few sentences he just said would be a complete threat. But this time he did not rush to respond, but chose to wait patiently for the other party to finish speaking. His past experience told him that if he was threatening others, it would usually be logical to give the other party a reasonable condition after the threat.
