   Chapter 784 Unkind smile

Organized a unique charity auction. After taking a lot of money from Mr. Ren Ma, no, a small amount, that little money is really a small amount for Mr. Ren Ali, and time will come. to June 2008.

In the past half a month or so, earthquake relief is undoubtedly the biggest thing in the whole country. Although the occurrence of such an irresistible natural disaster is distressing and has indeed caused great harm to the whole country, our country's comprehensive strength has already The present is not what it used to be, so up to now, except for the people in the disaster area who are still suffering, the order of life in other places is slowly returning to normal.

During this period, there was also a personal matter related to Li Xiangping, that is, his old man suddenly made a high profile after the earthquake in Sichuan Province. Not only did he donate 200 million to the disaster area in the name of the company, but he also ran to the He went to the disaster area, and announced to the public that he would personally lead the group's southwest branch to fully devote himself to the earthquake relief.

   Well, Li Xiangping just swiped his face in front of the people of the whole country, and his old man immediately swiped a bigger face.

   You must know that it is not 10 years later, and only a few private enterprises have donated more than 100 million yuan, such as "Jiaduobao".

   Therefore, the 200 million donation made by the big local tyrant Li made his popularity across the country rise rapidly--

Before that, the fame of the local tyrants was limited to the industry, and the company was only a regional company, and was only well-known in the capital and surrounding areas. Screen's father".

   But this 200 million RMB is smashed, and the senses of the outside world are very different--

   In the past, many people knew that Li Xiangping had a rich father, but to what extent was he embarrassed? Most passersby don't really have a deep understanding. But now it's different. It can be said that Li Datu's move has greatly increased the company's popularity, and his personal reputation is approaching the level of his father.

   As for his old man's move, Li Xiangping was a little strange at first, because this was not the usual style of Li Datuhao.

  Li Xiangping knows that his old man's thinking is more traditional, and he belongs to the old-fashioned local tyrant in his bones, who pays attention to "not showing wealth", so such a high-profile approach is a bit abnormal.

   But Li Xiangping quickly figured it out: Li Da local tyrant should have planned the next development route of his company. Most of him want to expand rapidly and take a scale effect route.

   If you want to pursue scale effects, you can't keep a low profile like before, let alone "make a fortune in silence" or something like that.

  Because the real estate industry wants to take this path, the core is actually acquiring land, and the company's land reserve will determine everything.

   Obviously, according to the national conditions in China, once you want to take the scale effect route, the fame and reputation are very important.

   To give a very simple example, if the local tyrant Li and his father Tear Cong go to a certain place to bid for a project at the same time, if the financial strength of the two is evenly matched, and the local political and business connections are also evenly matched, then who will win?

  The answer is very simple. Just think about it from a different perspective and you will know: If you are the leader of that place, and faced with competitors with half-hearted conditions, you will most likely choose the more famous one.

   Guessing that his old man wanted to take such a path, Li Xiangping had no objection—

   After all, in the next 10 years or so, many domestic real estate companies have followed this path, especially the top 50 companies in the industry, basically all have the same strategy, the same routine, acquire land everywhere, and expand rapidly.

   Although Li Xiangping is a traveler, he is not a business genius. He can create a better business model, so since the general trend is like this, he certainly cannot persuade his old man to go against the general trend.

   Of course, although Li Xiangping had no problem with the actions of his old man, he was still shocked by the shamelessness of the big local tyrant Li—

   You must know that so far, the company is still only a regional company, and nearly 70% of its business is concentrated near the capital.

   In addition to the capital, about 20% of the business is in the Yangtze River Delta region centered on Shencheng.

   Except for Beijing and Shanghai, the rest of the country has only scattered less than 10% of the business.

   As for the southwest region centered on Chengdu and Chongqing, the local tyrant Li has not started business in that region at all. He only set up a leather-style southwest branch a few years ago, with the purpose of taking the lead.

  It's all right now, Li Datu tyrant boldly claimed that a leather bag company would fully cooperate with the earthquake relief, so thick-skinned that even Li Xiangping blushed for him.

   Of course, although the big local tyrant Li is thick-skinned, his behavior is beyond reproach—

   After all, he didn't cheat donations, he really spent 200 million real money, and doing charity is not about dating, and it is also about the heart when it comes to love stories.

   So since he has concrete actions, although there is also a little personal purpose in it, there is really nothing to say about it.

  The time came to the first weekend of June. On this morning, Li Xiangping was in Wudaokou apartment:

"Sister Yaya, hurry up, everyone will be graduating soon, and the student dormitory will not be able to live in the future, so why don't you hurry to find a house, wait for you to call me Aunt Lin, she will take you there Pick a house."

  Yaya opened her eyes in a daze, not surprised at what Li Xiangping said, because this was what the two had discussed before—

  As the relationship between the two became public, and Yaya was graduating soon, Li Xiangping felt that it was necessary to find another house.

   After all, this apartment is too small, a simple one-bedroom and one-bedroom, and it is too close to the school, so after the relationship between the two people is made public, this place will be a bit inconvenient—

  Although it's not a big thing to live together without marriage these days, but Li Xiangping is a celebrity anyway, and he is a celebrity with a very good public image, so of course he still needs to cherish his feathers a little.

   So he discussed with Yaya to find another house a little further away, and the new house could also be used as a resting place for Yaya after graduation.

   "Aren't you going?"

  Li Xiangping shook his head and said, "I won't go, don't forget that there is still a game in the Chess Academy today, I plan to go to the scene to watch the game."

"Oh."

After all, she has played the role of embroidering the piano, so now Yaya is not ignorant of Go. Of course, she knows that today is the day of the "Fujitsu Cup" quarterfinals. Not only does she know, she can even chat with Li Xiangping now Two sentences:

   "This year's top eight lineup seems to be neat, and none of the six new superstars seem to be absent. Li Xiangping, who do you think will win the championship this time?"

   "Hehe, who knows,"

  Li Xiangping smiled and said to his girlfriend: "You said that the lineup is very neat, and your husband doesn't play with them anymore, so of course everyone has a chance."

  Yaya smiled, then rolled her eyes: "Virtue, look at you."

   Li Xiangping smiled and said, "What do I call Dese? I'm just stating a basic fact. I won't talk to you. I'll go over first. Remember to contact Aunt Lin in advance."

"Oh well."

  Li Xiangping was driving to the chess academy, thinking about the first world competition after he announced his retirement.

  This year's "Fujitsu Cup" top eight lineup is as follows: the Chinese team Chang Hao 9th dan, Gu Dali 9th dan, Kong Erjie 7th dan and Chen Yaoyue 5th dan.

  The Korean team is Lee Changho 9th dan, Lee Sedol 9th ​​dan and Cui Du 9th dan.

  The Japanese team also has a single seedling of Zhang Xu Jiuduan.

Among these 8 people, except for Kong Erjie and Cui Du who have not defeated Li Xiangping's record, (referring to the last 5 years, Li Xiangping's early losses are not counted), the other 6 have defeated Li Xiangping.

   So the 6 of them are the "six new super-first-class" that Yaya just said.

   And although Kong Er and Cui Du failed to obtain the false title of "new super first-class", Kong Erjie currently ranks third in domestic rankings, second only to Gu Dali and Li Xiangping, who has already retired. And in last year's "Chess Advocate Cup" final, he defeated Gu Dali 2-1 to win the championship. He is one of the few players in China who can beat Gu Dali in Fanqi.

   As for Cui Du, his current performance in South Korea is also very good. It is said that the domestic ranking has surpassed Da Li, and he is only behind Li Shishi by a small gap.

It is because of this that the top eight lineup this time can be said to be extremely neat, so neat that even Li Xiangping is in high spirits. He wants to see if the first world champion in the "post-Li Xiangping era" will be able to win. who.

   At 9:30 in the morning, Li Xiangping had already arrived at the Chinese Chess Academy. When other people saw him appear, they naturally gathered around to say hello, especially the young chess players of the current national junior team, and they all respectfully called "Mr. Li".

  Li Xiangping sighed in his heart while socializing, alas, he has finally become a "teacher".

   At 10 o'clock in the morning, shortly after the participating chess players entered the competition hall on the second floor, Lao Xie, Zhang Da and other reporters also came to the chess court. After everyone met, they had another chat, and Li Xiangping asked with a smile:

   "Hey, why are you here so early today? Aren't you all used to coming in the afternoon?"

   Lao Xie joked with Li Xiangping, he pretended to complain:

   "Hey, isn't this all your fault, Xiangping?"

   "Did I hurt?"

   "Of course you did it,"

Reporter Zhang Da smiled and said, "If you don't want to retire, our interviews for the competition are very easy, anyway, you win the championship in the end, so we can all prepare a standard draft with the same content and results, just change the name of the competition every time. ."

   "But not now," Lao Xie pretended and continued to sigh:

   "By the way, Xiangping, who do you think will win this competition?"

   "How do I know this, it's only the top eight stage."

   However, although Li Xiangping refused to predict, he finally added:

   "None of these 8 players is good. I personally don't think it's a surprise who wins the championship. But since Chinese players occupy half of the country, I personally hope that Chinese players will win the cup in the end."

   The match of the day seemed to be in line with this trend. At 5:00 pm, when all 4 sets were over, Gu Dali, Kong Erjie, Chen Xiaoqiang and Li Shishi entered the semi-finals.

  Three Chinese chess players surrounded Xiao Li, and the situation looked good.

   But a month later, Li Shishi defeated Kong Erjie, Gu Dali eliminated Chen Xiaoqiang, and Gu Dali and Li Shishi, the "rivals of life", joined the finals.

   "Hey, it's interesting..."

  Li Xiangping only discovered at this time that because of his own travel, the pattern of the world chess world has really changed beyond recognition by himself.

   At this time in real history, Xiao Li’s number of world champions had already exceeded 10, and he surpassed Lao Cao’s 9, and the number of world champions was second only to Da Li’s history.

   But now, he only has one in his hands, and that championship was won in 2000 before Li Xiangping crossed.

  Gu Dali now has only one in his hand, but he won the championship from Li Xiangping, and the gold content is much higher.

   "Gu Dali VS Li Shishi, although this pair of lifelong rivals can take the lead in rushing out of the championship group?"

   Looking at the title of the article, Li Xiangping smiled unkindly.

   Well, although the effect is not good, let’s continue to ask for tickets feebly.
