Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 334 April Fool’s Day

After a simple test, I didn't expect Li Weidong to make such a request. Seeing that Li Weidong didn't seem to be joking, Tang Zhenhua and the other two looked at each other.

Although it was not a favor owed to them, it was even more difficult to repay the favor owed to the organization. For such a big favor, they originally thought that Li Weidong would have to offer some compensation, but they never expected that Li Weidong made such a request, which put them in a dilemma.

Policies are not violated by anyone who wants to. You cannot relax the requirements just because of how much credit you have. Otherwise, how would you manage them? Besides, it’s not a bad idea for Li Weidong and Liu Jinhui to have their babies in Hong Kong, so why do they have to make it so troublesome?

Tang Zhenhua did not take issue with this, but said: "Comrade Weidong, I heard Ambassador Qi say that your acquisition of Skoda is to contribute to the domestic automobile industry. I think this idea is very good!"

"Of course it's more than that. If you still have similar ideas, our policies are supportive and we encourage creating wealth for the country and the people!"

Even the names have been changed. This is to shorten the relationship. They both grew up in China. Calling me sir would seem unorthodox. How can I be called friendly by like-minded comrades?

Tang Zhenhua can't promise anything, but he can convey these things on his behalf. Tang Zhenhua is a mouthpiece, but this mouthpiece must also have requirements.

He knew Li Weidong and had done some meaningful things in the process. Many things were reported by him. It was very appropriate for the organization to choose him as a mouthpiece. He was very proud.

"Really, this is a good thing. I really want to build a car factory in China and do my best to contribute to our national brand, but I can't find a clue. I feel relieved when you say this!"

Li Weidong followed the words and said happily that he didn't expect any recognition for his plan to have a second child. Basic national policies cannot be changed at will, and no one can make exceptions.

Skoda is currently reorganizing. The new Skoda Group will be jointly established by Volkswagen, the Czech government and Li Weidong. Li Weidong is the one with the fewest shares, but he still has an entry ticket.

Dr. Kahn will serve as chairman and CEO of the new Skoda Group under the joint recommendation of Li Weidong and Volkswagen.

What he said to Kahn, as well as Kahn's personal experience in China through two Volkswagens, made him redouble his efforts to prepare best for entering the Chinese automobile market.

According to China's requirements, the automobile industry does not allow wholly foreign investment. Even a joint venture cannot exceed 50% of the shares. If Li Weidong wants to have a say, he must find a way here.

Domestic regulations have always been vague to the automobile industry, but no private company has obtained a production license for small cars. If Li Weidong can enter the automobile industry and cooperate with Skoda, he is likely to have a controlling stake.

.

He originally thought that it would take a few years for the country's attitude towards the automobile industry to be loosened. Later generations of Geely and BYD still didn't know what was going on in the automobile industry.

Even if Great Wall Motors is now a state-owned enterprise, the products it produces are only pickup trucks that have just been developed. I don’t know how it eventually became a pioneer of private enterprises.

In addition to this requirement, Li Weidong did not mention other things. For example, he hopes that the banking industry will enter the domestic market. Of course he hopes to obtain permission, but if he mentions it too much, it will be suspected of taking the credit for rewards, which is a villain.

, it was easy for people to see clearly, and in the end he lost his original intention on this matter.

After chatting for a while, it turned out that Li Weidong really didn't make any demands. Tang Zhenhua and the two future national treasures also felt a little helpless. It would be difficult to complete their mission.

"Several leaders, can you ask where our things were finally shipped?" Li Weidong asked curiously.

The three of them looked at each other. This was already a secret. If anyone asked about it, they would have been listed as a key suspect. They might be arrested and served with whips and tiger stools.

But the question is about Li Weidong, so that's a different matter. He gave away the entire cruiser, so there is no such suspicion.

A director surnamed Huang said: "Comrade Weidong, to tell you the truth, the first stop is to Ludak Port. I will regret it when I get there. Depending on the specific situation, I will decide whether to transfer to other shipyards!"

"We don't know the equipment inside yet. Although we have conducted in-depth research on the photos you provided last year, it is still difficult to grasp some things without seeing them in person!"

"Moreover, we don't know whether some key equipment has been dismantled. Of course, even if there are only empty shells, our research and development in this area will have to advance for at least several years."

"The main purpose of begging Tang Bu to bring us here this time is to thank you in person. As we deepen our research, we feel more and more that a thank you letter is too thin!"

"You're too polite. I just did it casually. As long as it can be useful to the country, it's not in vain!" Li Weidong respected this future national treasure.

People can work hard for many years and never give up until they achieve their goals. This kind of spirit is needed to engage in research and development.

Li Weidong didn't mention whether the contents of the cruiser were dismantled, so it was probably a surprise for them!

"Now the ship is still in the South China Sea, and our maritime power is still a little bit behind. For safety reasons, we will drive along the offshore sea until we reach our destination!"

Director Huang did not hide Li Weidong's itinerary, and he also had to return to the mainland, and then board the ship by helicopter. As the fleet reached its destination, some data recording and simple inspections would be conducted on the cruiser.

Li Weidong sighed a little. The first cruiser probably has no chance with Handong, but this matter cannot be forced. How can national considerations take care of your little thoughts?

After chatting for a while, Li Weidong said goodbye and stayed for dinner. Isn't that a joke?

The three of them were at the elevator entrance, watching Li Weidong leave with stern expressions. The purpose of their coming was to let Li Weidong make demands, but they didn't mention anything. If they mentioned too much, Li Weidong would be a villain. If they didn't mention it, they would look like they were villains.

.

Watching Li Weidong enter the elevator, the three of them returned to the room without saying a word. Tang Zhenhua handed the two cigarettes and said: "Director Wang, Director Huang, you also saw this, what should we do?"

Director Huang smiled and said: "Comrade Zhenhua, please don't give us problems. These are all your business. We are here to help you complete the handover process."

"I came to Hong Kong Island because my leader agreed. I made a special trip to thank Comrade Weidong. Now that the mission is completed, we still have to get back to the ship and set off with the fleet!"

"The fleet hasn't reached the offshore yet. It's hard to come over here. Let's play for two more days. When we get offshore, we can save some helicopter fuel costs, right?" Tang Zhenhua advised.

"No, we can't afford to waste this time. The whole team is just hanging there. Director Wang is in charge of discipline. If we don't keep an eye on it, it will be bad if something goes wrong!" Director Huang waved his hand.

"Yes, Comrade Zhenhua, we are here to thank Comrade Weidong. Now that the matter is done, we should hurry back to our posts!" Director Wang also said.

They were both very young, and they were less interested in the colorful world than they were in the cruiser. The excitement in their hearts made them energetic.

Li Weidong didn't know the sighs of the three people, but he knew that he had really got the cruiser back. It would be a lie to say that he didn't have a sense of pride and accomplishment.

He even wanted to take his wife and children for a walk on the cruiser and tell them that this is my credit, so be proud!

However, the Chinese people have always believed in hiding merit and fame, and they are all modest and restrained. Moreover, this matter is related to confidentiality, so he half asked the question, but in the end he still did not ask.

At dinner, Li Weidong rarely took out a bottle of good wine and drank with Li Chengwen. Xie Ming and Ding Yuan also happily accompanied him for a few drinks, which surprised the family.

Although Li Weidong drinks and enjoys drinking with others, he generally does not take the initiative to raise his glass frequently. Moderate drinking is good for physical and mental health, and excessive drinking can help to ascend to heaven as soon as possible.

"What happened today? Why are you so happy when you come back from a trip and found money?" Liu Jinhui asked curiously while applying moisturizing cream at night.

"Pick up money, are you kidding? I am the one who can pick up money. I told you a long time ago that your husband will..."

"It's time to rest. If you don't want to say that you are down, just stop talking nonsense. I didn't ask!" Liu Jinhui quickly raised her hands to surrender. She thought she was no match for Li Weidong when it came to talking nonsense.

Li Weidong hummed a happy ditty, took off his clothes and went to the bathroom. It is said that singing in the shower has a soul.

April 1st, April Fool's Day, after a week of fermentation, the situation of Changtai Bank was already very bad.

When Zhao Changtai heard that his family had withdrawn funds from the bank, and the amount of money involved was so huge, he was so excited that he suffered from high blood pressure and heart disease. Fortunately, he was rescued in time and regained consciousness.

After more than a week of recovery, my condition has stabilized and I can already walk. My fortune is really tough. The brain hemorrhage can be absorbed by itself. Maybe the day to return to the bank is not far away.

It is possible to return to the bank, but Changtai Bank has changed beyond recognition. It had to close its doors and cease operations due to the run on the bank by citizens, and its stock price has been hovering at a low level.

In a high-end ward, a rare family gathered together. Zhao Changtai, who was sitting on the hospital bed, had lost a lot of weight. He had been living on nourishment for several days in a row. It was strange that he was in good health.

Looking at the mournful filial son and grandson, I thought to myself, if he died and everyone could get a share of the inheritance, would these people's expressions be better than they are now?

"I have been in a coma for several days this time and have thought through a lot of things. I asked you to come here today to talk about some things and invited Lawyer Wei to testify!"

The expressions of the frustrated people immediately changed, and they all looked at Zhao Changtai with burning eyes.

"I have had a hard life, but fortunately I have achieved something. I have purchased some family properties. Changtai Bank has been my life's work, and I can't bear its decline, so I'd better settle some things as soon as possible!"

"After my death, the shares of Changtai Bank I held were divided into five shares. Each of my three sons had one share, my wife Cui Fenghua had one share, and the remaining share was given to my eldest grandson Xiaojing!"

Cui Fenghua's originally happy face immediately became angry. Zhao Changtai's share distribution was obviously biased towards Zhao Bing and his son. She was very dissatisfied with this distribution plan.

After Lawyer Wei wrote it in hand, he read it out again. Zhao Changtai nodded to indicate that he had no problem, then picked it up and signed his name. The will immediately became legal.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a man in his forties pushed the door open. This was Zhao Changtai's driver, Lao Sun, who had followed him from his twenties to his forties.

The level of trust is no less than that of his son. He has been with Xianmen Bank since it was still a small bank until now. Many matters that are inconvenient for Zhao Changtai to come forward will be solved by him.

"President, there is a newspaper here, would you like to take a look?" After the driver finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd around him seemingly casually and handed the newspaper to Zhao Changtai.

"Old Sun, who asked you to come in? What newspaper? Didn't you see that the president is talking about something now?" Cui Fenghua was angry at first, and someone came over, so he naturally hit the muzzle of the gun.

Lao Sun was unmoved. Zhao Changtai knew Lao Sun. If it wasn't important news, he would not come in and disturb him. He said: "Xiao Sun, give me the newspaper!"

Zhao Changtai opened the newspaper and first took a look at the name of the newspaper. It was also the New Morning News. A photo came into view. The two were holding hands and showing affection. Although it was only a side view, he could still recognize it.

The title even made his blood pressure rise, "An animal father and his son share a secretary to defraud bank assets?"

It was impossible to read the content anymore. Zhao Changtai raised his head and glared at Zhao Bing fiercely, raised his hand to point at him, and breathed heavily.

Cui Fenghua, who was relatively close to him, also saw the newspaper, and the content inside was also unacceptable to her.

"What a good thing you did!" Cui Fenghua grabbed the newspaper and threw it directly into Zhao Bing's face, saying angrily.

Zhao Bing took the newspaper, and the world was spinning. At this time, Zhao Changtai, who was sitting on the hospital bed, started to bleed from his nose and mouth. The driver hurried out to call the doctor. If Zhao Changtai had any shortcomings, he would have done something bad with good intentions!

After two consecutive cerebral hemorrhages, it was hard to say whether he could be saved. At this time, Ye Li, the central figure in the incident, was coming out of the security checkpoint at Frankfurt Airport.

Feeling a few large checks in her bag, she got into a taxi with satisfaction and drove toward the distance, starting her new life.

She is the president's secretary. She thought she would have a bright future and eventually become a bank executive and achieve a counterattack in life. However, the president is old-hearted and a pervert.

What makes it even more difficult for him to accept is that the tiger father has no son, and the son is also of the same mindset, even more perverted than his father. Naturally, he wants revenge on the person who ruined her life.

All this was planned long ago, the photos were provided by her personally, and even the content of the copy was written by her. In order to take revenge on the father and son, this time was chosen very appropriately.

Also on this day, Li Weidong bid farewell to Wu Gang at the airport.

"Okay, I won't keep you here. This journey takes a long time. Someone will pick you up when you get there!"

"It's just me. With my level of English, can people understand me?" Wu Gang looked at the people around him, as if he had brought his own luggage. It was scary to think about it. He was traveling to the Czech Republic alone.

"Believe in yourself. You have US dollars in your bag. If not, let's use money to clear the way!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

Wu Gang was going crazy. After completing the formalities, he returned to his hometown to explain to his parents. After spending two days with his parents, he set off for Hong Kong Island. After staying for two days, all the formalities were completed.

Now that the trip is about to take place, he is told that he has to go alone. How excited he was before, he is now so scared.

"I'm teasing you. Do you know it's April Fool's Day? If you don't know how to tease me, someone will be waiting for you when you get to Frankfurt. Don't worry, I won't betray you!" Li Weidong looked at Wu Gang's pale face and said with a smile.

"That's good, that's good. I was scared to death. I didn't ask before. I really thought I would go by myself!"

"When you arrive in Prague, you must pay attention to moderation and avoid going to those places. They are the essence of our Chinese nation. Don't take advantage of those old ladies!"

"Go away!" Wu Gang felt that what Li Weidong said was too explicit, and at the same time, he also spoke to his heart.

Watching Wu Gang walk into the departure hall of the airport, Li Weidong also headed back home. He wanted to go back and think about reorganizing the company!
