Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 350 Flattery

After returning home, Liu Jinhui began to prepare a ceremony for Li Weidong. She took out several sets of clothes that Li Weidong had not worn from the closet and asked Li Weidong to try on whether they fit.

Seeing what Li Weidong was wearing, Liu Jinhui nodded with satisfaction, picked out a few more suitable sets, folded them and put them all in the suitcase.

When the husband goes on a business trip, it is natural for the wife to pack things to reflect the relationship between husband and wife. Every piece of clothing and items she packs for her husband is a kind of reluctance to put her thoughts away.

"Why are you bringing so many clothes? It's hot now and clothes dry quickly. You can wash and dry them as you go. There's no need to bring so many clothes!" Li Weidong said as he saw Liu Jinhui packing several sets of shirts in a row.

"You sweat a lot in the summer, and your clothes will smell like sweat after being worn for a while. Keep a few extra sets ready to change at any time. When you meet others, will you be happy when you smell the smell of sweat on others?"

"That's not possible, but who cares? I like the smell of sweat on your body!" Li Weidong put his arms around Liu Jinhui, pretending to smell her body, and said with a smile.

"Go away, didn't you look at how busy I am? If you have nothing to do, don't hold a cigarette or wine party, eat less at night, and exercise more. You have obviously gained weight this month!"

"It's really the Tomb of Heroes of Wenwen Township!" Li Weidong touched his belly. Although it was not swollen yet, the flesh had begun to soften and was no longer strong.

"Nonsense, this is an excuse you men made for yourself. What is the Tomb of Heroes? It's not because you men are weak-willed. It has nothing to do with women!"

"Besides, what kind of hero is Mr. Zhang? He came to the customs and asked what happened to Miss Zhao. The person who said this is not a good person!"

Liu Jinhui put her clothes on the bed, held her waist with both hands, looked at Li Weidong with wide eyes, and said sternly, so much that the spit foam sprayed onto Li Weidong's face.

Li Weidong touched the Tumo Xingzi on his face and looked at Liu Jinhui in surprise. This little mouth was really powerful.

But it makes sense. In ancient times, women did take a lot of blame. Beauty became a disaster. Of course, if it was a disaster, which man wouldn't want to be drowned.

"Yes, yes, my wife is always right. I will exercise from tomorrow on, not tonight!" Li Weidong immediately surrendered.

"I believe you, the treadmill in your office was fresh for two days except when you first moved it in. Think about how long it has not been touched!" Liu Jinhui sneered at Li Weidong and said with a look of contempt.

"What's that look in your eyes? I think you little bitch is going to rebel. It's up to me to serve you in my own way!"

The two played around for a while, and Liu Jinhui said, "Go out and play with your son quickly. I can clean up quietly. I won't be able to finish it until tomorrow if you are there!"

Li Weidong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go play with him. I won't be able to see him for a few days. It's quite uncomfortable to think about it!"

When children are having fun, they begin to imitate people's behaviors, which makes them very happy to watch. Childlike innocence is probably the most beautiful at this time.

When I was younger, I had no sense of autonomy and was very silly. When I got older, I had too much autonomy. At the age of three or four, I knew how to coax and beg my parents. The silly look at the age of one or two was the most interesting.

Li Weidong went downstairs, took Li Qian from Shen Yueying, took him to the children's room, and played with him for a while. The father and son made fun of each other, they laughed and enjoyed each other.

Liu Jinhui leaned on the door frame and looked at the father and son inside, touching her belly that was gradually bulging, and the smile on her face looked very warm and happy.

At noon the next day, Li Weidong and his party arrived at Hucheng Airport. They got off the plane and took Lianqiao. They didn't feel hot, but when they approached the exit, they felt a heat wave hitting their faces.

The weather in Shanghai in July is very hot, not even a little cooler than that on Hong Kong Island, and the humidity in the air is worse than in Li Weidong's seaside residence on Hong Kong Island, which adds a bit of heat for nothing.

Li Weidong traveled with his secretary, Xie Ming and a young bodyguard this time. This bodyguard was recommended by one of Ding Yuan's comrades and was recruited by Li Weidong less than half a year after he retired.

Li Weidong recognized the people who came from this place. He was very strict and would not talk nonsense. Li Weidong had too many secrets. If he didn't keep his mouth shut, there would be big trouble.

Zhang Dongshuo also choked at the heat wave and said, "I informed Jingwei Investment's Shanghai office when we set off. The car to pick you up should have arrived!"

"It's okay, don't be in a hurry, I won't go back to Qizhou this afternoon!" Li Weidong said as he walked. He also hated the weather, but who can say no and who dares to say no to what God has decided.

From afar, I saw Huo Rui, Gao Fuxing and others standing outside waving. I couldn't help but notice that there were a lot of people at the exit, but they stood out from the crowd.

The main reason is that the clothes are too formal, not to mention shirts, trousers and shiny leather shoes, but also wearing a tie on a hot day, which is a bit abnormal.

As soon as Li Weidong came out, a few people gathered around him, causing the people around him to look sideways. Seeing that he was so formal, they thought that the person he picked up must be a rich man if not a foreigner.

Who would have thought that he was such a young man like Li Weidong, and he was dressed a bit casually, with a white short-sleeved T-shirt, light-colored pants, and a pair of casual soft-soled shoes.

Even with a relatively high-end watch on his wrist, he looks like an ordinary person, at most a rich second generation.

"Hello, Chairman!" "Hello, Mr. Li!" Several people shouted in confusion, but they were all very humble.

Li Weidong nodded to everyone, then patted Huo Rui's shoulder, grabbed his tie and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid of prickly heat if you prick this thing?"

"Brother, I don't want to wear this thing, it's like a student's red scarf, but seeing that everyone has it, let's get one!" Huo Rui pointed to Gao Fuxing and others next to him and said.

Originally, Huo Rui had prepared a lot of formal flattery, and even practiced it several times in front of the mirror, but when Li Weidong interrupted him, he couldn't remember anything.

Even the title has been changed. Chen Gu has long told these people, "It is no longer time for us to hang out in the world. We can no longer call us brother, we must call them chairman!"

But when he heard Li Weidong's words, he naturally thought of the past when they engaged in border trade together, the days when they ate wild boar, drank, chatted, and played cards in the Northeast.

"Then just tie it up, as long as you're not afraid of the heat, it looks pretty good!" Li Weidong straightened his tie and said.

Huo Rui was flattered and giggled. His secretary was watching from behind, wondering if his tie was stupid and why he didn't say a serious word. Where did his usual aura in the factory go?

Of course the secretary knew that the person he was picking up was their big boss, but the distance might be too far, so he had no fear at all and only had some respect for his position.

Gao Fuxing and Shen Dongkui next to them also quickly greeted Li Weidong. They did not have the blessing of Huo Rui to joke with Li Weidong, so they could only shake hands briefly.

Zheng Sijing's secretary Pan Yonghua waited for Gao Fuxing and others to finish talking to Li Weidong before he said: "Chairman, thank you for your hard work. Mr. Zheng asked me to apologize to you on his behalf!"

"Mr. Zheng has an important meeting in Ningbo this morning that requires his attendance. He has already started rushing here. He will arrive in Shanghai around five o'clock!"

"Work is important. Wherever the car is, hurry up and leave. It's too hot today!" Li Weidong nodded and said.

After getting in the car, Li Weidong couldn't help but look out the window. At first, it was just a crop field, but slowly a construction site began to appear, and then there was traffic.

Various tower cranes can be seen everywhere, and pedestrians on the road are in a hurry either because they can't stand the heat outside or because they can pick up money in front of them.

There is indeed money ahead. Time is money. If you walk faster, you will naturally find money.

When Li Weidong arrived at the hotel where he was staying, he recognized that the hotel was the famous Pinghe Hotel, which is said to have hosted countless dignitaries and celebrities from various countries.

Li Weidong had been here in his previous life, but it had been renovated. Compared with now, it was still a little different, a little less antique, but after the surprise, it didn't matter anymore.

Li Weidong took off his clothes, went into the bathroom and took a shower. He changed clothes and felt comfortable. Only then did he realize how attentive his wife was.

Chinese people are generally reserved like this. They rarely talk about love and publicize it everywhere. Instead, they hide love in the details of life and savor it slowly.

"Chairman, how about we go have some food, it's downstairs and we've already reserved a seat?" Pan Yonghua asked.

There were not many people in the reception room. They all looked at Li Weidong when they heard Pan Yonghua's words. It was almost two o'clock now. They had arrived at the airport to wait for Li Weidong before eleven o'clock and had already passed the hotel. It was normal to be hungry.

"Let's go to Dongxing Medical after eating!" Li Weidong said as he put out the cigarette in his hand.

As soon as the door to the room opened, the people waiting outside, who were chatting and laughing, became serious and stood respectfully.

When Li Weidong and his party walked over, they breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed. It seemed that they must have been discussing the people in the room just now, most likely about Li Weidong, otherwise they would not be so serious.

Eating is naturally easier if you don't drink. It's already past dinner time, and the dishes are served very quickly. It's just that if you don't drink, the delicious food on the table will be wasted.

But there are not many people who can persuade Li Weidong to drink. Huo Rui at this table does have the capital, but he also knows what is enough and what is not to do.

"The two floors of the Chairman are our laboratories. There are now 137 R&D personnel of various types, and there are currently 13 pharmaceutical and reagent projects in progress!" After dinner, at Dongxing Pharmaceutical,

Gao Fuxing introduced.

"How many original drugs are there?" Li Weidong interrupted Gao Fuxing's introduction and asked.

"There is only one reagent type, which is a hepatitis B diagnostic reagent jointly developed with my alma mater, but now we have a clue!" Gao Fuxing said honestly.

He knew that Li Weidong was not a novice in this field and knew a little bit about medicine. He did not dare to exaggerate, nor did he dare to deceive Li Weidong or lie to him.

Even he didn't know some of the things Li Weidong mentioned, which was okay. After all, he didn't major in medicine, but his partner Shen Dongkui was a graduate of genetic engineering.

Genetic engineering and medicine are somewhat related, and he was shocked by some of Li Weidong's suggestions, which meant that Li Weidong really had something to offer.

"One is a bit lacking. Take your time. Since we can cooperate with your alma mater, we can do more cooperation projects. The combination of industry, academia and research is very promising!" Li Weidong nodded.

"Chairman, you are so... so wise. You and Dongkui's mentor coincide with each other!" Gao Fuxing tried twice before saying such flattering words.

Gao Fuxing considers himself a cultural person, and he has a hard time saying anything about those flattering people, but he can't express his admiration without saying it.

Li Weidong was very happy. He liked this kind of flattery from cultural people. When it comes from their mouths, it means that they really admire you and respect you.

Unlike people like Chen Gu and Huorui, who have been living in alleys since they were young, their sly tongue and flattery are simply the basic skills of a gangster.

"I'm just being blind. Since the school is willing, let's do more cooperation. If the money is not enough, I will invest more money!" Li Weidong was happy to be praised, so he naturally wanted to express it.

"Okay, Chairman, we will definitely talk to the school. They will definitely thank you. This will greatly improve the school's teaching level and scientific research level."

Li Weidong promised to invest money, Gao Fuxing was happy in his heart, so he didn't need to be ashamed, so he let go. Anyway, he had said too much flattery, so he naturally became more fluent.

"In addition, because we don't have a pharmaceutical factory yet, in order to conduct pilot and scale-up tests, we signed a cooperation agreement with the Shanghai Pharmaceutical Factory. After conducting small-scale research in the laboratory, we went to them to do pilot and scale-up tests!" Gao Fuxing continued introduce.

"Is there any risk of confidentiality involved? If we go to other factories to conduct experiments, do we have to share the process flow with others? Is it possible that it will be leaked and will it cause losses?"

Li Weidong frowned and asked, "These days, aren't you talking nonsense to others about patent rights and confidentiality?"

"Chairman, this is theoretically possible, so we will sign a confidentiality contract with them. The consequences of leaking secrets will be very serious!" Shen Dongkui said, which may involve professional knowledge.

"Secondly, even if the secret is leaked, all he knows is the result of our development. There are still a lot of processes and data that need to be explored. By the time they figure out these things, we will probably have obtained the license!"

Li Weidong's wrinkled pimples still haven't been relieved much. Not having his own pharmaceutical factory is always a big problem.

"In this way, you can see if there is a suitable pharmaceutical factory nearby for you to conduct research and experiments. It may not necessarily be in Shanghai, but in nearby Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"

Li Weidong finally decided that since he had invested and it would not cost too much money, why keep this risky opportunity open? Moreover, if he wanted to make a big business, he must have his own pharmaceutical factory.

Now it is in the pure research and development stage. When it is actually mass-produced in the future, it will be too troublesome to find other pharmaceutical manufacturers for OEM.

It’s not like labor will be expensive in future generations, so why not use it now that there is a demographic dividend.

Shen Dongkui and Gao Fuxing did not expect that there would be such a good thing. Although this was also a part of their plan, they would not do it until they made profits and expanded production in the future.

Li Weidong doesn't understand medicine, but he knows how to respect talents. He has more than a hundred scientific researchers, which is definitely a luxurious lineup in this era. There are not many pure R&D personnel in several major pharmaceutical factories.

I shook hands with several comrades with good features. Maybe this was the representative introduced by Gao Fuxing Shen Dongkui. Anyway, they were standing at the front and wanted to shake hands with the good-looking comrade behind, just because their hands were too short. Out of reach.

Li Weidong said, "Knowledge is productivity. The company attaches great importance to talents, and I am very willing to provide you with a high-paying, decent job!"

"Is this your work plan for the second half of the year?" Li Weidong asked, pointing to the work plan on the wall.

"That's good!" Seeing Gao Fuxing nodding, Li Weidong continued.

"If this plan can be completed, I promise to increase the per capita increase next year... But you haven't completed it yet?" Li Weidong asked again.

"No!" Everyone was stunned and understood what Li Weidong meant, and said in unison.

"That's good. If it can be completed, I will ask Mr. Gao and Mr. Shen to give you a salary increase of ten to twenty percent. Is this no problem, Mr. Gao and Mr. Shen?"

"No problem!" The two of them looked at each other and said in unison. Li Weidong is the major shareholder. He originally wanted to do whatever he wanted, but now he is asking for their opinions in front of the employees, which is enough to give them face.

The employees cheered so loudly that they almost attracted the security guard at the door to come and inspect.

Gao Fuxing and Shen Dongkui smiled as they watched Li Weidong get into the car, waving their hands, and then put their hands down until they could no longer see the car. They turned around and looked at the employees who were beaming and full of fighting spirit.

Gao Fuxing pretended to be serious and said: "If I don't go back to work, I don't want a salary increase!"

Everyone dispersed happily and returned to their posts!
