Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 359 Cashing in Equity

After thirty years of drinking, everyone started to let go. Li Weidong had no need to exert authority to suppress them. They got along more casually after work, so everyone became less restrained.

But they all wanted to toast Li Weidong, which Li Weidong couldn't stand. They were all close friends. It couldn't be justified with who they drank with or not, and they couldn't stop after the first drink.

However, if you drink more or less, you have to know how to stop drinking. A toast is just for the sake of meaning. Drinking more is not right. This is because you want to make the boss look bad, so be careful of being put in the wrong shoes.

If you don't find Li Weidong, you have to find someone else. Chen Gu was the first to jump out and said, "Mr. Zheng, I'd like to toast you. You are a cultural person and we won't bully you. You can do whatever you want with me!"

"Mr. Chen, you are trying to conquer my army. Mr. Li once said that a man cannot say no, let alone give in. He must drink what he has to drink until he dies!"

Zheng Sijing became familiar with people like Chen Gu in China, but he could no longer be civilized. Although he was a well-educated person, his bad habits in his heart were also stimulated.

Of course, the important thing is that he represents a small gang, which is completely different from Chen Gu's group of brothers. Chen Gu's words are full of thorns, and he cannot give in.

Jingwei Investment, managed by Zheng Sijing, is a shareholder of many companies. Although Li Weidong still has the final say, Zheng Sijing can completely block them in some small matters.

There are always some troubles, although he has not been in front of Li Weidong yet, but he is not so harmonious. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is deliberately done to show Li Weidong.

After all, a group of united subordinates is not the result that the superior wants. Only when subordinates struggle, the superior has the opportunity to be the referee. This is the norm.

Topics at the wine table are always inseparable from hot topics of current affairs. Just bragging is meaningless, and you will get tired of it if you listen to it too much. It is also good to talk about hot topics of current affairs to improve your personality.

"Now that a comet is hitting Jupiter, do you think it will hit the Earth one day?" Song Guofeng brought up a topic. This is a hot topic and will definitely make headlines in future generations.

The question raised by Song Guofeng should be a question that everyone has at the moment, and major newspapers and experts also have various explanations, but they can never convince the people.

Li Weidong also thought about it for a long time in his previous life, but time smoothed it all out.

Although we don’t know which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident, we have to live our lives. To live for a day, you have to prepare food, rice, oil and salt. You can’t always think that if you encounter an accident tomorrow, you may be gone.

If there is no accident, but he is starved to death, wouldn't it be too pitiful? If he goes to the underworld to become a ghost, he will starve to death, and he will be looked down upon by other ghosts. How can he be a good man after eighteen years?

"I think what those experts say is unreliable. Who knows if this thing will come? Didn't there a Nobel Prize winner who said that the extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by a comet hitting the earth?"

"It has happened before, and it may not happen in the future. If it can hit Jupiter, it should hit the Earth. No one can say for sure. Now there are all kinds of opinions in the newspapers!"

"Anyway, I'm just taking it easy. If you have money, spend it as soon as possible and have fun as soon as possible. Maybe one day there will be no more people. Come and have a drink. We won't come back until we get drunk!" Cheng Kui followed up and shouted.

"Just rest, we won't see that day when we die, and there won't be a tragedy like people disappearing before all the money is spent, but you have to be prepared for the desolation of living without money!"

Several people laughed after hearing this, and Cheng Kui also laughed, "I just like to listen to my brother talk, he can always make his words so humorous and convincing!"

"With your words, we feel relieved. We have to spend money more leisurely in the future. If the money is gone, it will be so miserable for people to still be alive. It's scary to think about it!"

"Okay, stop being poor and drink your wine!" Li Weidong shook his head and smiled, having become immune to this flattery.

While several people were laughing, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Guo Huai led a waiter in, "I can't help but help you cook a few dishes. I'll punish myself with three drinks!"

Guo Huai is the chef and the boss. He usually cooks the dishes himself. This is for Li Weidong. Everyone at the dinner table is full of people. If you see through it but don't tell it, you are still a good friend.

Guo Huai rarely cooks now, and at most he gives guidance occasionally. Moreover, as the restaurant becomes more famous, the chefs it hires are of higher standard, and some chefs are as skilled as him.

His main job now is management, not in the kitchen, but he doesn't cook often, and he is afraid that his skills will become rusty. Moreover, when Li Weidong comes today, he is worried about others doing it.

Of course, it was limited to Li Weidong's table, and he couldn't handle dozens of other tables.

"Well, it still tastes the same, and the craftsmanship hasn't deteriorated yet. Not bad, not bad!" Li Weidong took a sip and gave a thumbs up.

"That's good. I haven't done it for a long time, so I'm afraid it won't suit your taste!" Guo Huai seemed very happy, sat down in his seat, and said with a smile.

Even though he now runs more than 20 restaurants and is the general manager, his original intention has always been to please Li Weidong. Not only does he have the shares that he is about to receive, but he also has a sense of gratitude.

"I see that you already have more than 20 hotels and 17 or 18 are open. Don't slow down just because you think the task is completed. You have to speed up the progress!"

"After a while, you can find Mr. Xu to fulfill our original contract. From now on, Mr. Xu will be in charge of your assessment. Don't let anything fall into his hands. It's not easy to beg me!"

"Old Xiao, I still have you. You are not slow and can complete the task ahead of schedule. Let Mr. Xu review it. If there is no problem, the option will be cashed in for you in advance. Is that okay?"

"Chairman, you are joking. We were just joking in the beginning. Everything I have today was given by you. If I don't know how high the sky is, how can I still be considered a human being if I ask for shares?"

Xiao Jihui quickly stood up and expressed his position. He said what he said was sincere. As for how much of it was true and how much was false, only he knew.

"Chairman, that's what I mean. I can't take this stock no matter what. I was just a gangster back then. If it weren't for you, how could I have access to cars and my current status!"

After listening to Xiao Jihui's words, Guo Huai just sat down and quickly stood up and said, his expression was more genuine than Xiao Jihui's.

"Okay, since you don't want it, forget it. Go back and tear up the contract. You can use the money to make up for the shares you promised to others!"

Li Weidong put down his chopsticks and said with a smile. The smile looked a little scary. The people around him were all looking at their noses and their noses, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

"Okay, sit down. If we have a contract, we will handle it according to the contract. If you follow me, I will not treat you badly. Just take what I give you and follow me for free!"

"That can't be done, that can't be done. It's too late for us to express our gratitude to you. Who doesn't know that without you, we are nothing?" Chen Gu quickly said with a smile to smooth things over.

"We are all strangers. We have known each other for several years. When I talk to you, I don't hide it. Most of you are here today, so I will just say a few words!"

"Let's all listen. I haven't listened to your teachings for a long time, and I don't know what to do anymore!" Cheng Kui's flattery made everyone in the room laugh.

Li Weidong glanced at Cheng Kui and said, "I am very happy that you are willing to follow me. Let's work together to make our business bigger and make a fortune together. If you want to make a fortune somewhere else someday, I will definitely not stop you!"

"Nothing!" Several people said in unison.

Li Weidong waved his hand and continued: "But everything in our cooperation must be done in accordance with the contract and the law. We must not confuse our brotherhood with business matters. In the end, nothing will be left!"

"I gave you shares, options, and a high salary because I think you deserve it. And it turns out that Lao Xiao and Ma Gan are both doing well. They have also worked very hard in the past two years and have spent less time with their wife. This is not good.

, family is the main thing!”

"Of course, what makes me happy is that you are able to understand the principle behind the gathering of wealthy people, you are able to give out so many shares, and you know how to use option incentives to bring everyone together."

"If you are not willing to give up these shares, you will not be able to get these shares even if you rely on your own ability. If you give some of them as rewards to the management, things will be much easier to handle. This is a win-win situation and the company can continue to develop!

"

"Chairman, compared to you, what we have done is still too little. If you pay so much, we will do our best and get so many shares..."

"You can't say that. I am very happy now as a hands-off shopkeeper. I contribute money and you contribute efforts to make the industry bigger. I make money and you have shares. This is great!"

"And we have just arrived now. The goal of Wanjia Mall is to open 10,000 stores. It may be difficult, but 5,000 stores will be no problem. Keep working hard. Don't think that this little money is money. This little money is nothing.

Yeah, look at the pig killing list, that’s what you call rich!”

Several people at the dinner table looked at each other, not knowing what the Pig Killing List was, let alone why there was money on the Pig Killing List.

After seeing their performance, Li Weidong remembered that there is no such thing as a pig killing list in China, and there is no inland version of the pig killing list.

"Don't worry, we will continue to work hard and not be afraid of difficulties to achieve the goal of 5,000 homes as soon as possible!" Xiao Jihui said through gritted teeth, probably because he was drunk.

What is the concept of five thousand families? According to the scale required by Li Weidong, Xiao Jihui felt that it was impossible to complete it, but when he got here, he couldn't do it without bragging.

"Chairman, our Four Seasons Hotel is also striving to open all over the country, so that no matter where you go, you can eat the food in our own hotel!" Guo Huai said while biting.

The rest of the people also began to express their opinions. As for whether they said it out of the blue, I don't know. Anyway, if word spread, they must think that the people at this table are mentally ill.

While several people were talking, the door of the box was pushed open, and a group of people came in, which was today's newlyweds. Several groomsmen and bridesmaids were helping with wine and glasses!

There are also photographers accompanying you, and toasting by the newlyweds is also a major part of the wedding, and there are many interesting points, accounting for a large proportion of the entire wedding process!

"Brother, thank you for coming!" Dachun said with a red face, and Qin Xiaolu next to him also followed the greeting with a smile.

Qin Xiaolu knew that Liu Dachun's business was quite big, and of course she also knew that he worked for Li Weidong. His own shareholding was very small and could almost be ignored.

But this small amount of shares has allowed him to have enough food and clothing, a car and a house. In Qin Xiaolu's view, this is considered a big business, but Liu Dachun told her that Li Weidong didn't even look at Anjuke.

When sending the invitation, Liu Dachun told Qin Xiaolu about each of these people except his own relatives, firstly to let her know about his circle of friends.

Secondly, there is also some element of showing off. With such a circle of friends, Liu Dachun is naturally a member of this circle, even though he is a junior in this circle.

Through these introductions, Qin Xiaolu had some understanding of Li Weidong's situation. Liu Dachun didn't know about those foreign businesses, so he couldn't introduce them to her.

The more I know about Li Weidong, the more curious I become and the more I respect him. He is not an ordinary person and is not in the same world as them.

Her grandfather's original house, which she had looked at when she passed by it two days ago, was completely unrecognizable now. It was all newly built, and its grandeur told her that a courtyard house should be like this.

"Thank me for nothing. I'm happy for you to get married. Don't be polite. There are no outsiders at this table. A glass of wine is all you need. You should go take care of other relatives and friends!"

"That won't work. You are a distinguished guest. Brother, I will bring you a glass of wine!" Qin Xiaolu disagreed and said first.

Then he took the wine bottle from Doubian without any explanation, poured a glass for Li Weidong, and brought it to Li Weidong respectfully. Although his face was normal, his hands were shaking all the time.

It can be seen that she is nervous inside. She is not sure about Li Weidong's temper and whether he will be angry. Most young and promising people like him also have arrogance.

"I have to drink this glass of wine today. The wine served by the bride is called wedding wine, so I feel a little happy too!"

After Li Weidong finished speaking, he picked up half a tael of wine and drank it all in one gulp. The people around him saw the excitement and applauded, and some even shouted that good things come in pairs.

"This wine is meant to bless you, and the blessing must be wholehearted. One glass is of course enough. We don't want to listen to them making noises. Did you see the one who made the noise? Let him drink it perfectly!" Li Weidong pointed to the one who made the noise!

Chen Gu said.

When Chen Gu heard Li Weidong's words, his face immediately turned bitter. If he had a perfect drink, he wouldn't have to go out here today. Now he wants to hit himself.

Chen Gu's face turned bitter, but everyone's faces became happy. They were all watching the fun. Naturally, the bigger the fun, the better, as long as they don't burn themselves.

Li Weidong patted Liu Dachun on the shoulder and whispered: "Dachun, congratulations on your marriage. From now on, you will be a family man and you must be responsible!"

"From now on, you will have to obey the company's control in the company, and you will have to be under the control of your wife at home. If you are bullied in any way, you will have to swallow it yourself. We will definitely pretend that you can't see it!"

Liu Dachun originally thought that Li Weidong wanted to teach him some experience. Hearing this, his face was full of helplessness. He should have guessed that Li Weidong didn't speak serious words often.

"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely be able to swallow it on my own. Didn't you say this before? You have to walk the path you choose with tears in your eyes!" Liu Dachun also said in a low voice.

Qin Xiaolu was very close next to him. Even if their voices were very low, he could still hear them clearly. Li Weidong's image in his heart suddenly changed drastically.

In her impression, these successful people must be the same as those who are high-ranking officials. First of all, they must be stable. They can't joke easily, and it's this kind of joke.

Not only Qin Xiaolu heard it, but also several people nearby heard it. They all wanted to laugh, but they had to hold it back.

"That's wrong. Why are you walking away with tears in your eyes? Look at how well-matched you two are. The bride is both talented and beautiful. You are such a good companion. You will definitely live a happy life and grow old with a smile.

, you are right to listen to me!”

This time everyone at the table couldn't help it. Even Liu Dachun smiled bitterly. He felt that he was not bad, and he thought that he could have a handsome man and a beautiful woman. The co-author was just a foil.

Qizhou Airport finally had a direct flight to Shenzhen. After attending Liu Dachun's wedding, Li Weidong took a flight from Qizhou to Shenzhen the next morning.

Although it is still once every other day, and it is still a hundred kilometers from Huangtian Airport in Shenzhen to the residence in Deep Water Bay on Hong Kong Island, it is still much more convenient than taking a detour to Beijing or Shanghai.
