Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 340 Rongbaozhai

I don’t know if the lunch banquet can be regarded as a state banquet. Li Weidong took it for granted that there would be big leaders attending, and he could even have a drink and talk with the big leaders. Unfortunately, he thought too much. The leader of the Federation of Trade Unions took all these big leaders away.

represented.

After lunch, the provincial leader proposed to climb the Great Wall and go to the Forbidden City. Tomorrow is Labor Day, and working people have to celebrate the holiday.

This was also a traditional program in the past. The organization paid for it and it was also regarded as a reward for the winning comrades.

Privately, Li Weidong went to the leader and said, "Leader Yang, I'm really sorry. My brother-in-law is getting married tomorrow. I have to rush back today, so I won't be able to advance and retreat with everyone!"

"This is a happy event. You can arrange the time yourself. When our brother-in-law gets married, you, the brother-in-law, will be picked on if you don't go back!" The leader of the team is a provincial leader. He speaks kindly and has no objection to Li Weidong's behavior of leaving the team.

Not satisfied.

He didn't want to be dissatisfied, but he also knew that Li Weidong was not the same as them at all. He came alone when he came, and it was appropriate to go back alone, and they could save some money.

Moreover, as the leader in charge of this matter in the province, he did not know what happened to Li Weidong's labor medal. Li Weidong was not on the initial list.

When it was time to submit the report at the beginning of the month, this name appeared on the list again. Even a person who is not very sensitive and unfamiliar with the system knows that this relationship is a bit difficult.

"Thank you for your understanding, the leader. If we have time, we would like to invite the leader to the company for inspection and guidance. You stand high and have a wide field of vision. Your words can save us a lot of detours!"

"You are so humble. The province is very supportive of you. Some time ago, the leader went to inspect Innovative Locomotives. I accompanied him. Your company system is very good. The leader said to the heads of several companies who were following him.

Now, I want to learn from your experience!”

As the sedan chair was carrying people, Li Weidong praised Leader Yang. He didn't know Li Weidong's background, so he naturally boasted back. Although it was a boast, it was true.

There are too many companies that are struggling now, and everyone from top to bottom is calling for learning advanced management experience and establishing a modern enterprise system. In the next two years, a group of companies will even be specially designated to carry out pilot projects.

Qizhou Innovation Locomotive Company is a joint venture with a modern management model. It often receives inspections and studies from other companies, which makes Song Guofeng very annoyed, but he can't say anything.

Later, the deputy director-general assigned by the city was asked to receive various visiting and inspection groups. As long as it did not affect the normal work, they were happy and Song Guofeng did not have to deal with it, so he got the best of both worlds.

"Boss, you are so polite. I will definitely ask you to take the time to provide guidance to the company when I get back!" Li Weidong said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, it's settled then!" Leader Yang was no longer polite. For such a star company, the risks are not high and the benefits are huge, so naturally he is willing to go.

Leaders can never choose to inspect sunset industries, outdated production capacity, or companies that are about to close down or go bankrupt. There will be no benefits, and they will get stuck if they fail.

Li Weidong got in the car and rushed to the hotel. He had to go back and change his clothes. These clothes were too restrictive and uncomfortable.

It is said that people within the system should prepare a few extra sets of clothes, and when dressing, they should watch TV to see what their leaders are wearing and learn from them. Li Weidong really felt tired.

"Chairman, I went to Liulichang yesterday. Rongbaozhai there is very famous. Their watch and quilt masters are all top-notch!" Zhang Dongshuo said.

"Rongbaozhai? It's quite famous. What time is the flight?"

"It's four o'clock in the afternoon."

"If you have enough time, go back to the hotel to clean up, and then go to the airport to take a look!" Li Weidong glanced at his watch. It was just past one o'clock, and the reception banquet ended quickly enough.

Liu Jinhui and Shen Yueying arrived in Qizhou yesterday with their children. It is more convenient for Li Weidong to bring a bodyguard and secretary with him.

When we arrived at the hotel, we all knew that Li Weidong was leaving, and several people came to see him off again. Li Weidong's visit would have kept these bosses extremely busy and wasted resources.

"You all go back. I, Dachun, can just give me a ride. They are both multi-millionaires and earn hundreds of dollars every minute. We can't delay your business!"

Li Weidong smiled and greeted several people, shaking hands and saying goodbye one by one. Liu Dachun next to him smiled happily, and several people were full of envy and jealousy towards Liu Dachun.

As Li Weidong spoke, he walked out the door. When he was going out, he happened to meet the tour group he met on the day he checked in. However, this time he did not let Li Weidong give way, but took the initiative to give way.

That Xiao Li even looked at Li Weidong with some fear. He carefully inquired about the situation of Wanhong Real Estate and found out what kind of behemoth it was.

Not only Ma Jun, but Chen Gu next to him also recognized that everyone he could not afford to offend. It would be strange for such people to gather together to accompany a young man and not be afraid.

Seeing Li Weidong get into the car and leave, and Chen Gu and Ma Jun also waved and left, Xiao Li hid his envious expression.

"Brother, there's no need to take a detour when you go there. I was here once some time ago and I know one of their stewards. I'm sure there will be no problem in mounting calligraphy and painting!" Liu Dachun said when he learned that he had to go to Rongbaozhai first.

"What are you doing there? You can't tell the difference between genuine and fake silver coins, so why are you trying to get something good?" Li Weidong said jokingly.

"Brother, don't keep bringing this up. Antiques are very popular now. There are treasures everywhere in the capital. If we don't miss something, let's look for the real thing!" Liu Dachun was not embarrassed at all.

When he bought a basket of silver coins, he thought he had missed them, but Li Weidong saw at a glance that they were white copper, which almost made him angry to death. He wanted to find someone else, but there was no trace of him.

He was not as wealthy as he is now, and a few hundred dollars almost cost him his life, so when he got into this business later, he never went out to pick up the missing items, either at auction or in a big shop.

Rongbaozhai is a well-known large shop in Liulichang, and it is also a serious state-owned enterprise. It is quite reliable. They say that antiques from the golden age of troubled times must be reliable for collecting antiques.

"Come on, if you want to invest in appreciation in the future, it's better to buy a few houses. If you like this business and want to build a collection, you'd better take a break now!"

"This thing is so mysterious, I just collected a few small things, hundreds of dollars, at most a few hundred yuan, we don't want the expensive ones!" Liu Dachun knew very well what he was worth, and it was not this material.

"Who knows, we mortals like us, even if we put the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun in front of us, we wouldn't be able to recognize it!" Li Weidong said with a sigh.

He had also thought about collecting some to improve his realm, but when he saw those antiques, he only thought about how much they would be worth in the future!

If you have thought about it like this, then what are you doing? You are collecting it because you are hoping for appreciation in value. This has nothing to do with improving your personal realm. The key is that he doesn't understand it either.

Liu Dachun also scratched his head. It seemed that it would be better to cause less trouble with this thing in the future. Even people like Li Weidong stayed away, so he just let it go, not to mention that Li Weidong was right!

As they talked, they arrived at Liulichang, found a place to park the car, and a few people walked along the street. It really looked like a cultural district, and the things on display looked real.

Li Weidong was curious at first and looked at it, but then he didn't even look at it. A chamber pot can be fooled into being used by emperors of any dynasty or generation. Is Li Weidong so easy to fool?

When I entered Rongbaozhai, I felt something different. There was no hustle and bustle on the street. I could feel the difference just by looking at the placement of objects. It seemed like there was knowledge everywhere.

Zhang Dongshuo came yesterday and had contact with people here. He was recognized at a glance, but the acquaintance Liu Dachun mentioned was not seen, which made Liu Dachun embarrassed.

"Where is your manager Liu?" Liu Dachun asked.

"Excellent guest, I'm sorry, our manager Liu went down to collect things and won't be here today!" A middle-aged man entertained them and said politely to Liu Dachun.

People who come here to talk about leaders are either really familiar with them, or they are not familiar with them but know them, and they are afraid of being cheated when buying things.

"Sir, you were here yesterday. If I remember correctly, you wanted to frame a piece of text. Our framer, Mr. Feng, happens to be here today. He is an expert in this field!"

The middle-aged man's eyes are bright and lively, and he relies on these eyes to make a living in this business. He can see people very accurately, and while he is talking, he glances at Li Weidong calmly.

Knowing that this was a big customer, his eyes glanced at the painting tube held in Ding Yuan's hand, and suddenly his eyes changed a little.

Zhang Dongshuo saw Li Weidong nodding and said, "Yes, I want to frame a piece of calligraphy, but this calligraphy is a bit special, so..."

"Don't worry, this is the rule. We are keeping it absolutely confidential and safe. We don't dare to smash the Rongbaozhai signboard casually. No matter the content of the calligraphy or painting, the employer won't mention anything!"

The middle-aged man understood Zhang Dongshuo's worry as soon as he heard it, and said quickly, knowing of course that this was probably a novice.

Seeing Li Weidong nodding, he took Li Weidong and others directly to the second floor without even asking his name, and entered a huge room filled with various famous calligraphy and paintings, which made him feel good just looking at them.

"Teacher Feng, there is a guest here who wants to frame a picture. He came here once yesterday and he has to find our best master, so I can only work hard for you!"

After finishing his work, Teacher Feng looked up and said, "Whose words are there?"

The middle-aged man did not speak, but looked at the painting tube in Ding Yuan's hand. Teacher Feng also saw the painting tube, and the movement of his hand paused slightly.

Li Weidong had no need to hide it, so he took the painting tube from Ding Yuan and opened it carefully. Teacher Feng and the middle-aged man had already cleaned up a large table and wiped it with a dry rag.

Although Ding Yuan also guessed who sent this word, he had never seen it before and was just guessing. The others didn't know what it was and looked at it curiously.

Li Weidong carefully took out the rice paper, slowly opened it and spread it on the table, and then the words appeared. After seeing it, several people around him let out a few exclamations, and their eyes changed when they looked at Li Weidong.

"Teacher Feng, thank you for your hard work!" Li Weidong said politely.

Teacher Feng lay down and looked carefully for a while, then raised his head and looked at Li Weidong in surprise. He wanted to ask, but finally held back. He couldn't ask questions that shouldn't be asked in their profession.

Teacher Feng looked down again, and after a while he said: "Yours?" Seeing Li Weidong nod, he then said: "Awesome, ten days, no, two weeks, you can pick it up in two weeks!"

"So long?" Liu Dachun asked curiously.

"You can come and get it tomorrow!" Teacher Feng said angrily.

Liu Dachun almost choked to death at the old man's words. If not for Li Weidong's presence, he would have said a few more words and returned.

"Teacher Feng is a leader in our field. If it weren't for the special calligraphy, it would be quick to get it in half a year!" The middle-aged man quickly explained that you can't offend anyone when you open your business.

The middle-aged man looked at Li Weidong's expression and said with a smile: "Don't worry about safety, we will make an order for you. If you give this calligraphy to others, others will not dare to ask for it, right?"

"Trouble Teacher Feng, come back to pick it up in two weeks!" Although Li Weidong felt uneasy, he also knew that what he said was reasonable, and he couldn't stay here and watch.

"No trouble!" Teacher Feng was quite polite to Li Weidong. After all, he was not an ordinary person to get this calligraphy. Although he had seen his calligraphy, it was his first time to frame it, so he was honored.

Li Weidong glanced at the handwriting and took the list handwritten by Teacher Feng. The content of the handwriting was clearly written, indicating the obligations and responsibilities of both parties, stamped with his private seal, and the official seal of Rong Baozhai.

"Brother, don't worry, I'll find someone to watch at the door and I'll definitely be able to guard it for you!" Liu Dachun said after leaving Rongbaozhai.

"What's the use of looking at it at the door? You can even take a look at the calligraphy people draw. Don't mess with those useless things. Don't dare to make random decisions if you measure them!"

The deterrent effect of this calligraphy is still very great. Li Weidong believes that no one would dare to make any decisions.

When Li Weidong got home in the evening, Liu Jinhui's children and their father-in-law were busy with work, so they took them there. Only Shen Yueying stayed at home. It was not good for her to visit her in-laws at this time.

She is so busy, and there is no time to take care of her. As an in-law, it would be rude not to take care of her, so it is better not to cause trouble.

"You're here just in time, hurry up and pick up the child. It's already eight o'clock, it's time for the child to go to bed!" As soon as Li Weidong entered the house, Shen Yueying urged him to pick up the child.

"You have to let me eat, right?" Li Weidong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"You won't die of hunger if you don't eat. Your wife is still pregnant with a child. What are you busy with?" Shen Yueying said angrily.

After hearing this, Li Weidong realized what his mother meant. In their hometown, pregnant women do not participate in other people's marriages, saying that it is a conflict that is not good for both parties. As for the reason, he no longer knows.

But whether you are getting married or pregnant, it is a happy event, and you will not do anything to make the other party unhappy. Naturally, you would rather believe it than not.

"Mom, this matter is superstitious. Besides, Qizhou doesn't say this. It's not a serious matter!" Li Weidong quickly consoled her.

"Nonsense, why isn't there? I asked your Aunt Li this afternoon, and she said that there is such a custom that you can't meet each other without paying homage to the church, even if you bring the Qinglong Tie!"

"Okay, I'm going to pick him up right now!" Although Li Weidong didn't believe it, he was worried about the child in his belly, and it was relatively late, so he might as well bring him back!

But just as he was about to go out, he heard the sound of a car. When Li Weidong went out, he saw that he had come back. Li Weidong and Shen Yueying looked at each other, and the old lady stood up and greeted her out with a smile.

Shen Yueying has fifty years of life experience and thirty years of experience as a daughter-in-law. She has also been a mother-in-law for several years, so she is already able to deal with this kind of thing with ease.

"I'm back. The in-laws are all ready. Let Weidong go there early tomorrow morning to help. There are too many chores involved in marrying a wife. It's very tiring to deal with everything!"

"Mom, you don't need to go so early, everything is almost ready. My second uncle and my sister-in-law's family came from the northeast, and the whole room is very noisy!"

"There are so many people and it's noisy. You're still pregnant. There will be more people tomorrow, so you have to be careful!" Shen Yueying said pointedly.

Li Weidong took Li Qian and kissed him. He might have been a little sleepy, but he became excited again when he saw Li Weidong.

Hearing Liu Jinhui mention her second uncle and sister-in-law, Li Weidong lamented that this girl and her son were really different. When he and Liu Jinhui were together, her sister-in-law sent two sets of sheets and quilts, and her second uncle sent two mink furs, but no one came. .
