Rebirth: From E-Commerce To Business Empire

Li Dong and the others are lucky this time. The FBI is really considering whether to keep Li Dong in the United States permanently.

If it hadn't been for the financial crisis, he would never have come back.

Fortunately, he did not continue to be greedy.

This is all thanks to Li Ying.

If it weren't for Li Ying's dissuasion, Li Dong would never have stopped this search operation.

But even so, Li Dong has not given up his plan to recruit talents.

After he left, he contacted a headhunting company in the United States.

The purpose is of course to pry away the talents of various technology companies in the long term.

The headhunting company doesn't care about that, as long as they give you money, anything can be done.

So even if Li Dong and others return to China, there will be talents flying to Shen City to come to Far East Group every week.

But before returning to China, Li Dong also made an investment.

In 2008, Andrew Mason's small startup ThePoint was on the verge of bankruptcy, and he proposed that the company needed to transform.

How to turn it around? He thought that since the economy was not good and everyone was short of money, he would build a website to sell items that were cheaper than those on the market, but the prerequisite was that enough people would buy them so that the merchants on the website could make small profits but quick turnover.

Unexpectedly, this simple idea became popular in the Chicago area, and the number of users increased exponentially. The boss directly closed the old business and asked Mason to be the CEO to run the new business.

The boss, Eric, is a serial entrepreneur who has worked in Silicon Valley. The boss with a keen sense of smell then invested his own money in Groupon, the originator of group buying, and introduced it to well-known VC institutions in Silicon Valley.

Groupon successfully received a US$4 million investment from Silicon Valley venture capital NEA. During the frightening financial crisis, Groupon, a bargain-selling group buying company, quickly established a foothold in the United States and began crazy international expansion. It only took 16 It achieved a valuation of US$1 billion in just one month.

In 2011, Groupon went public with a market value of nearly US$20 billion.

Mason, a young man from Chicago who had never been to Silicon Valley in his early years, spent more than three years using Silicon Valley money to complete a counterattack and became a wealth creation myth.

Li Dong invested in this Andrew Mason.

Groupon was established in November, which means that Andrew Mason has not yet founded Groupon.

Since it was not established, Li Dong came directly to the door.

He told Andrew Mason about this group buying concept and also provided money to help Andrew Mason start his own business.

When Andrew Mason heard this, he was so shocked that he directly regarded Li Dong as his godfather!

When Li Dong offered 10 million U.S. dollars to occupy 49% of the company's shares, Andrew Mason nodded in agreement without even thinking about it.

As for why Li Dong doesn’t want more shares, it’s because this is the United States!

If his shares exceed 51%, it will be a problem in the future, and the United States will also prevent Groupon's growth!

Otherwise, how could Li Dong be so kind and only need such a small amount of shares.

This moved Andrew Mason very much.

What a good man!

They also sent concepts and funds.

At this time, Li Dong's status in Andrew Mason's heart was already on the same level as God.

No, it is higher than God.

…

…

After returning to China, the first task is to arrange the treasures brought back from the United States.

This time more than 600 high-tech talents came back with him.

The first priority is to rent houses to these people, even if the conditions are too bad.

This was not a problem for Li Dong. He directly handed over the problem to the real estate agency, and within a few days, he arranged for these people to be properly arranged.

Li Ying also officially took office and became the CEO of Far East Group.

Next, I am afraid that the school will not be suitable for the development of Far East Group, because Li Dong wants to develop smartphones, chips, lithography machines, and electric vehicles. These require the construction of large-scale factories. Where can the school accommodate them.

Of course, e-commerce companies don’t have to move them for the time being.

Then Li Dong contacted Tang Guoqiang again.

This time Li Dong is planning to build a factory in Dadong, and he is planning to get support funds.

You know, what he develops is high technology, and your government should fully support it, right?

This can bring many jobs to Shen City.

In particular, the development of electric vehicles will also bring a series of related industrial chains to Shenyang City.

It will also bring huge tax revenue to the finance.

When he told Tang Guoqiang his idea, Tang Guoqiang was also shocked by Li Dong's ambition.

Can Tang Guoqiang not be shocked after knowing that Li Dong brought back more than 600 cutting-edge technical talents from the United States?

This kid is so courageous. He actually dared to extract a tooth from a tiger's mouth, but he actually succeeded without thinking?

Thinking of this, Tang Guoqiang's heart moved, and he had an idea.

These are all cutting-edge talents. They should be more than capable of being teachers, right?

What would happen if they were allowed to come to Shenyang University to take classes once a week?

Maybe it won't be long before Shenyang University will change from two books to one. This is not impossible.

Then Tang Guoqiang expressed his thoughts.

Li Dong thought for a moment and then agreed.

Shenyang University is his alma mater, and Tang Guoqiang and the school have also helped him a lot, so he has no reason not to agree.

What people didn't expect was that just because of his decision, Shen Da became one of the top ten famous brands in the country.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Guoqiang went to the old principal's home in person.

Li Dong's request was no longer within Tang Guoqiang's ability, so he had to ask the old principal to talk to the district.

Ji Junfeng, 65 years old, president of Shenyang University.

"Is everything you said true?" Ji Junfeng looked at Tang Guoqiang with excitement.

"Ji Lao, do you think I would joke with you about this?"

Tang Guoqiang respects Ji Junfeng very much.

Ji Junfeng has worked in the education system all his life, and his voice at Shenyang University is unmatched by anyone.

Tang Guoqiang wanted to sit on the throne of vice principal, but in the end he had to get Ji Junfeng's nod.

“Okay, okay, okay, hahaha~~”

Ji Junfeng was really happy, Tang Guoqiang could see it.

After feeling happy, Ji Junfeng took out his phone, found a number and dialed it.

"Xiao Song, I have something to tell you..."

Tang Guoqiang naturally knew who this Xiao Song was in Ji Junfengkou.

Song Jia, the top leader of Dadong District.

The one in front of me is probably the only one in Shen City who can be called Xiao Song.

Of course, in the entire Shen City, only Ji Junfeng is qualified to call him that.

According to common sense, 65 is already the age for retirement, but Ji Junfeng did not go home to take care of himself for Shen Da, but worked conscientiously on the front line of work.

Over the years, Mr. Ji has been worried about Shen Da!

Even the big bosses in the province gave Ji Lao face...
