Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 368 Professional people do professional things

Li Weidong touched Li Rui on the crib with trembling hands, and murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear, "Is it really you?"

"Doesn't it sound good? You promised me that the name you gave me would be a manly man, and he would never regret it!" Liu Jinhui looked at Li Weidong with some curiosity.

"Why do you regret it? This name is very nice. It's Li Rui!" Li Weidong heard Liu Jinhui say this and knew that he had lost his composure, so he quickly said seriously.

His daughter in her previous life was also named Li Rui. Liu Jinhui suggested it and he agreed. He never expected that she would still have that name in this life!

Originally, he didn't want the two children to be connected. He thought about something he hadn't said all morning, and asked Liu Jinhui to say it.

Liu Jinhui was happy, and she shouted a few words tentatively. She felt that the screams became smoother and smoother, and the screams sounded better and better. She was very satisfied with her own level, and the smiles on her face became more and more.

When Li Weidong saw this scene, he was thinking about the scene in his life where the mother and daughter were having a rough time at home. The more one wanted to take care of it, the less willing the other was.

Sometimes it also affects Li Weidong, a fish in the pond. One is his wife, whom he chose; the other is his daughter, who gave birth to her, and the palms and backs of her hands are full of flesh!

"By the way, have you told my parents that the baby was born a week early? They probably didn't expect it, right?" Liu Jinhui suddenly asked.

"I told you earlier, I told you at dawn, and you were the one to make the arrangements. They were all very happy. But when I told them it was a caesarean section, they were all frightened. If your mother hadn't had to go to work, she might have gone to Shenzhen today.

."

My daughter is very happy to have a baby, and she is still a daughter. Now she has both a son and a daughter, and she is most proud of it. However, she is naturally worried about her daughter suffering. There are joys and sorrows. If the distance was not too far away, she would have come here long ago.

The person who came to deliver the meal at noon was Li Weihong. There was a party in the dormitory last night to celebrate her arrival, so I stayed in the dormitory one more night with my classmates.

But this morning she came home from school and found that no one was at home. She heard from the nanny that her sister-in-law had given birth, and she wanted the driver to take her to the hospital.

Before they even started to leave, Li Chengwen came back with Li Qian. The first thing he said when they met was, "You're back just in time. You're helping to take care of the kids at home. I'll go to the furniture factory to take a look!"

"Dad, how could you do this? I just got home and I didn't even take a sip of water. Besides, my sister-in-law just gave birth to a baby today, and you still have to go to work. It's already the weekend and you don't even take a break!"

Li Weihong had no problem taking care of the child. She liked her nephew, he was smart and cute, but when she heard that her biological father had to go to work, she said in disbelief.

"I can't help you at home. I can only look after the kids. Now that you're back, someone can take care of the kids. I'm just idle at home. Why don't I go do some work!"

Li Chengwen was a little embarrassed when he heard his daughter's words, but he lost money even if he was idle all day in the carpenter's shop. How could he earn so much money in his hometown?

How long he can work in this carpentry shop depends on when his son returns to China. Now that he has given birth to a child, there is no reason to stay here anymore.

There won't be much time left here, so he has to take advantage of this opportunity to earn more money. There won't be such a good opportunity when he returns to China. There are hundreds of dollars a day, so there is no such a job.

Li Weihong nodded helplessly. Her brother was right. Parents earn some money for peace of mind.

At noon, she volunteered to deliver meals to her brother and sister-in-law, and also let Shen Yueying take a rest. She woke up in the middle of the night and has not stopped until now.

With Li Weihong here, the excitement in the ward instantly rose by several dimensions. He was talking about school at one moment, and complimenting Li Rui on his good looks at another. Anyway, he couldn't stop talking.

After Liu Jinhui stayed in the hospital for four or five days, she really couldn't stay any longer. She sought the doctor's advice and was finally discharged from the hospital. She could just go home and take care of herself.

Li Qian no longer has to live a life separated from his parents, but he has been exposed to bears more and more often. Before he can remember, most of his father's love and mother's love have been taken away by Li Rui, who has even less memory.

However, he is still happier than his sister, at least he has been an only child for more than a year and has been favored by his parents.

Li Weidong's subordinates in China also wanted to take the opportunity of visiting Hong Kong to congratulate Li Weidong on his daughter's fortune.

After hearing the news, Li Weidong resolutely stopped it. If he really wanted to come to Hong Kong Island for inspection, that would be fine, but if he happened to be stuck at this juncture, any fool would understand what it meant.

But despite this, many people still sent congratulatory gifts to Li Weidong for various reasons, and more and more people sent them. Li Weidong looked a little worried when he saw these gifts.

If it was just sent over by his subordinates, then it would be better to just work for him and be more attentive to the boss. The boss will ignore it and no one can say anything.

But there are still many business partners, including some business tycoons from Hong Kong Island who have met once or several times. These people are difficult to deal with and cannot be ignored.

If he invites these big shots in the name of his daughter, it seems like it would be childish. At least he has not received any invitations from others to celebrate the full moon or 100-day banquet for their children.

And this is different from last year, when Li Weidong invited his subordinates to attend his son's 100-day banquet. That was because Li Weidong wanted to introduce his son to them and let them know who would succeed his career.

Although the law stipulates that children have the right to inherit, there is a high probability that Li Weidong's career will be inherited by Li Qian. Of course, if his daughter is better, he will not refuse.

But in this patriarchal society, it is very difficult for women to stand at the top of the world, so men have to do this kind of job of shouldering the responsibility and bearing the pressure.

Li Weidong will naturally ensure that his daughter enjoys endless blessings and spends endless money. The hardships should be left to his son, and the happiness should be left to his daughter.

"Then treat them to the Full Moon Bar!" After thinking for a few days, Li Weidong said to Liu Jinhui, but he was actually saying it to himself.

Li Weidong can be sure that these people will not have as much wealth as him in the future, but measuring a person's status is not only wealth, but also social relationships, and social relationships are social status.

Which of these top wealthy families has not been formed after decades, or even hundreds of years of hard work, how can it be so easy to break this almost solidified status.

When money reaches a certain amount, it no longer plays a big role in improving social status. Especially in the Internet era, the richest people in the world have changed one after another, but those top wealthy families have remained unchanged.

Even though Bill Gates has been the richest man for so many years, in the eyes of others, he is still an upstart who has risen too fast and has nothing but money.

"Just decide!" Liu Jinhui said softly.

In the past, names that could only be seen in newspapers and news could now be given as gifts to her newborn daughter. Liu Jinhui felt that these were like a dream.

Now that he has decided, there is no need to worry anymore. Li Weidong asked people to prepare the hotel and then write invitations one by one.

For important people, the entire invitation must be handwritten, which makes it appear solemn. Only the name of the less important person can be filled in, but this work must be completed by him personally.

Li Weidong's calligraphy is worthless in the eyes of famous people. After all, even his calligraphy teacher told him to write for fun and not to take it seriously, but there is no problem in fooling some people who don't know how to write.

In order to write these invitations as well as possible, Li Weidong practiced calligraphy for several days and became familiar with some writing techniques and structures so that they would not look too ugly.

Luo Jialiang, who came to report to him on the progress of hotel booking, was full of praise after seeing Li Weidong's words.

"Chairman, your calligraphy is really beautiful. I have never seen such beautiful calligraphy in my whole life. One day when you are free, I will also ask for one and hang it in the office to encourage myself!"

Li Weidong glanced at Luo Jialiang, rolled his eyes, and ignored him. An ignorant person said such a thing, what can you do with it?

Even if you put Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy in front of him, he may not know whether it is good or bad. What kind of discernment do you expect him to have?

If he knows that his calligraphy is good, or does not know that his words are not good, and he is praised by others, he may actually write two strokes to show off.

"How is the hotel booking going?" Li Weidong raised his head and asked after finishing writing.

"It has been booked. We have booked a hall at the Peninsula Hotel, which can accommodate six to seven hundred people for dining or having a cocktail party at the same time!"

Luo Jialiang knew that he was being flattered, but he didn't care about it. His purpose was to flatter, as long as the leader knew that he was flattering.

"If you want to hold a party, tell their chef, and they will make a menu according to the style of a state banquet. It should be cold, hot, and have snacks. It should be fresh, elegant, mellow and meaningful!"

Li Weidong was very uninterested in Western-style cocktail parties, but he had a good impression of the state banquet he attended. It was not about how good the food was, but how exquisite it was, and how exquisite it was.

He was also a person who attended the state banquet.

"I'll tell them right now!" Luo Jialiang wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't know what the state banquet was like. If he had known better, he would have asked the hotel lobby manager to come with him.

Now we can only hope that the chefs at the Peninsula Hotel know about it, but even if the chefs don’t know, they have to find a way to find out.

A five-star hotel like this pays special attention to its reputation. If the hotel is canceled because it cannot meet the guests' requirements, its reputation will be ruined if word spreads.

This is a big project, and it is not easy for either the hotel or Li Weidong. Arrangement is a big issue. Who has equal status with whom, and whether they can sit at the same table. You need to have a good understanding of the relationship between these people.

"Go to an etiquette company, find the top one, and plan it. They know the humanities and sophistication better!"

Li Weidong seemed to feel that leaving this matter to Luo Jialiang was beyond his ability, and it would be more appropriate to find a specialized etiquette company to do it!

Luo Jialiang sweated more on his forehead, but he was relieved in his heart. Even if Li Weidong didn't say anything, he planned to find several etiquette companies to help handle this matter privately.

Li Weidong has always believed in leaving professional matters to professionals.

A few days later, Li Weidong ushered in another group of people, and they did what they were good at.

At home, Li Weidong met Zhao Dongsheng, Wu Gang and Dr. Kahn, chairman and president of Skoda Holdings.

"Dr. Kahn, welcome to China!" Li Weidong shook hands with the guest enthusiastically!

Kahn is the chairman of Skoda Holdings, and Li Weidong is Skoda's major shareholder. In theory, there is a superior-subordinate relationship. In principle, Kahn's appointment requires Li Weidong's signature. Even if he disagrees, he must state that he does not agree.

However, Kahn's social status determines that he cannot obey or even bow to the wishes of major shareholders like the chairman of other companies.

"Thank you!" Kahn, looking at this young and a little overachiever, thought about Li Weidong's confident words when they first met last year, and now they are about to come true.

Qizhou Automobile Factory proposed to cooperate with Skoda, and soon got the consent of Skoda Holdings. The Chinese market is too big and they have what they need.

Moreover, China's policy is very clear. In principle, only one joint venture is allowed for the same brand of cars. Volkswagen is an exception because it was established before the policy came out.

However, if Volkswagen wants to continue to expand its domestic market share, the road to joint ventures has been blocked, and it can only achieve its industrial layout goals through other brands.

Skoda owns 30% of Li Weidong's shares, so his words carry a lot of weight, and Li Weidong's proposal is completely based on the company's interests.

Without a proper reason, no one dares to reject this proposal rashly, and no company is monolithic, and there will be various competing interests within the public.

"Dr. Kahn, this is a formality. You are very experienced and familiar with the road. This time you are representing Skoda to discuss cooperation with Qizhou Automobile Factory!"

"I am the largest shareholder of Qizhou Automobile Factory, but I am not the only shareholder. Some of the shares belong to the Qizhou Municipal Government, so the cooperation process must be legal!"

"It's up to you to talk and go through this formality to make this procedure very legal and reasonable!"

Kahn looked at Li Weidong in surprise. Although he had been to China many times and was considered half a China expert, he still didn't understand what Li Weidong meant.

He is very clear about the share structure of Qizhou Automobile Factory. What can be done with 5% of the shares? He has no say in front of the absolute majority shareholder Li Weidong.

Kahn naturally didn’t understand the true meaning of doing business in China, with public ownership as the mainstay, multiple ownerships, and common development. Sometimes it doesn’t matter how many shares you have!

Both the Seventh Five-Year Plan and the Eighth Five-Year Plan listed the automobile industry as a pillar industry, so in this environment, there will definitely be no problems with the general direction of cooperation, and there is definitely no need to worry about the possibility of success.

The two chatted for a while about work issues, and Li Weidong stopped talking about Skoda and cars. On the matter of cars, Kahn has absolute authority!

Even if Li Weidong in later generations knew those things, he only scratched the surface, and he had told Kahn a long time ago. Besides, it was just a repetition, and it didn't make much sense!

Kahn said a few more words of congratulations, then said goodbye and left. He glanced at Zhao Dongsheng and Wu Gang with deep meaning. Naturally, what these two people did at Skoda could not be hidden from him.

Although Skoda's recent production and sales have reached new highs since their acquisition of Skoda, and they have begun to make profits, the future is bright.

This is why he admires Li Weidong. As much as he admires Li Weidong, he hates the current Volkswagen board of directors. All the profits he has gained will be lost, and his layout at Volkswagen will be in vain.

What made him feel even more ironic was that Li Weidong acquired 30% of Skoda's shares. In just the past year, there were rumors from Volkswagen executives that they wanted to acquire this part of the shares.

Moreover, the premium was very high. The key was that Kahn could guess that Li Weidong would never sell this part of the shares.

These various signs have shown that Skoda will be out of decline, but it is also undeniable that Skoda's production capacity is far from reaching the level it should be.

Tens of thousands of industrial workers do not have a saturated job, and naturally they cannot get a satisfactory salary, so it is natural for them to find another job.

The poaching behavior of Wu Gang and Zhao Dongsheng is not hidden. As the chairman and CEO of the company, he is very aware of what is going on and will not stop it.

How could he stop them? Even if Wu Gang and Zhao Dongsheng poached some experienced backbones, he would not have a suitable reason to retain these people.

"Chairman, this time we have recruited more than a hundred people from Skoda's workshop and technical department. They are all backbones of various departments and types of work, and they are all very capable!" Zhao Dongsheng said first when Wu Gang was silent.

"Well, that's right. There are more than a hundred people as seeds. We must make good use of them and don't waste them. We must turn one into two and two into four!" Li Weidong was very satisfied!

"You two are not young anymore, it's time to find a partner!" Li Weidong chatted with them about work matters for a while, and then started gossiping.

Wu Gang looked bad and looked a little embarrassed. At his age, he was most afraid of forcing marriage, Cui Wa!

But there was a bit of shyness on Zhao Dongsheng's face, and Li Weidong was startled. This guy has been in the Czech Republic for a long time. He wouldn't really promote the country's prestige and find a foreign bitch, right?
