Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 370 There are not many people as kind as me.

Tang Zhenhua smiled at Li Weidong, said nothing, and used his eyes to signal Li Weidong to pay attention to the elderly man next to him.

When Li Weidong's eyes focused on the elderly man next to him, Tang Zhenhua introduced, "Comrade Weidong, let me introduce to you. This is President Zhou, who is also my old leader!"

Li Weidong was stunned for a second before he realized which yamen held the position of president. The news agency on Hong Kong Island had two names, one was the small agency and the other was the big agency.

The news agencies that are really responsible for news gathering and communication are small news agencies, while large news agencies have nothing to do with the so-called communication work and are just a temporary structure due to historical issues.

President Zhou is the president of this news agency. Of course, his job is to be responsible for the operation of the big agency. Otherwise, it would not be possible for a department assistant to make such a grand introduction.

Although he is still the president in his position, in theory this person is the plenipotentiary representative of the mainland in Hong Kong Island, and his status is evident.

"Hello, President Zhou, welcome, welcome!" Li Weidong stretched out his hands and said enthusiastically. Li Weidong never dreamed that he would appear in such an informal occasion.

"Hello, Comrade Weidong, congratulations. We haven't had the chance to meet each other. I'm taking this opportunity to be an uninvited guest. I have to ask you to be kind and save a seat!" President Zhou said with a smile.

Even though I said this, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart. He was very clear about what Li Weidong did after he first arrived on Hong Kong Island, and he handled almost all the information.

He wouldn't know if he didn't check, but he would be shocked when he checked. Some of the operations made him tremble with fear, but the result was huge profits. He was simply a child of luck and blessed by the Buddha.

To his relief, he did not find that Li Weidong had done anything wrong, and his income could withstand the investigation, and he even did many good things for the country and the people.

The most important thing is that this money is earned from abroad and can be used to develop the domestic economy, which is perfect.

"You are so polite. It's great that you can come. Seeing you makes me feel confident!" Li Weidong said sincerely.

But that's not the case. President Zhou's presence on the platform itself sends a signal to the outside world that he is one of our own and is protected by us.

Having a backer is also a source of strength. Only with a backer can you feel at ease!

"That's wrong. Your confidence is not ours. There are many people like you, but it is our confidence!" President Zhou said with a hint.

The confidence externally is comprehensive national strength, which will ultimately be reflected in military strength.

Li Weidong knew that in the eyes of President Zhou, he would not have too many secrets. After all, their scope of work included this aspect, and he would definitely be aware of what he had done over the years.

"Thank you very much, President Zhou. Would you like us to go in and talk about it?" Li Weidong could only speak vaguely and asked with a smile to President Zhou and Tang Zhenhua.

"That's right, let's go in and chat. We can't let the guests wait and say we've lost etiquette!" President Zhou also said with a smile, as if he didn't regard himself as an outsider and spoke like the master.

Li Weidong and Tang Zhenhua walked together and asked in a low voice, "When did you come to Hong Kong Island? You didn't tell me in advance. It almost confused me!"

"I'm going somewhere else. I'm transferring on Hong Kong Island. My flight is at 9pm. If I still have time, I'll come and visit my old boss. I just found out that you're giving your daughter a full-moon wine today, so you're here to have a meal!"

Tang Zhenhua didn't say where he was going on a business trip, so Li Weidong naturally wouldn't ask about it. It's a confidential matter. Asking blindly can easily lead to problems.

Li Weidong didn't ask how Tang Zhenhua knew that he was serving full-moon wine to his daughter today!

He has invited so many rich people, and it can be leaked no matter where he is. Whether it is the etiquette company or the hotel, they will regard this as one of their achievements, and they will naturally reveal it intentionally or unintentionally.

Although it won't cause a storm in the city, so many rich people are going to gather here, and the hotel's security has been on standby a few days ago, lest there be trouble.

Naturally, the news spread within a small area. If President Zhou and the others didn't know about it, then there was something wrong!

"President Zhou has known about you for a long time, and he also knows about those things. He is very curious about you, but there is no suitable opportunity to meet you, so we come together today!"

Looking at Li Weidong's expression, Tang Zhenhua knew that the question was not about him at all, but why his old leader was here, so he laughed and said.

Counting this time, he has sold Li Weidong many times, but every time it was a helpless move. It was arranged by the leadership above. The leader is greater than the sky, what can he do.

He is just an assistant who enjoys the treatment of deputy department. There are many smart heads above him, and the system has reached a certain level. How can he only look at the level?

President Zhou has the duty to engage in united front work. The people who came today are people with status and ability in Hong Kong Island. They have gathered almost all the rich people in Hong Kong Island.

The weight of his words on Hong Kong Island can be seen. This is also closely related to his work. It is right to unite the front.

Before "1997", everything had to be handled carefully and no disturbance was tolerated.

Hong Kong Island cannot be chaotic, this is the premise!

"I thought you had been promoted. Hong Kong Island is a pretty good place!" Li Weidong sighed.

"How can I still know which place is better and where can it be my turn? This position is already burning high incense. I'll stand at the last post and wait for the organization's arrangements!" Tang Zhenhua and Li Weidong were familiar with each other and didn't take him seriously.

Being an outsider, he shook his head and said.

Everyone likes to be promoted, but it is difficult to move up to this position. Without some hard skills, how can you have a chance?

"You are an official and I am a citizen, no matter how bad you are, you are still better than me!" Li Weidong sneered at his words. How many people dream of it, but even if you die in this position, your treatment will be different.

"How about we switch over and let me enjoy your capitalist treatment?"

Tang Zhenhua said seriously, he was very serious. He had dealt with Li Weidong a lot, so he knew how carefree he lived.

"Hey, can we decide? You have to ask Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!" Li Weidong quickly took a few steps to catch up with President Zhou.

The Peninsula Hotel has eight halls, and this is the largest. Although Li Weidong has a lot of guests, it can't stand up to the size of other people's halls, and it doesn't look good if it's so empty.

Li Weidong agreed to the hotel's suggestion and divided the hall into two. The east side was used for drinks and snacks as a resting place for guests, and the west side was used as a place for formal banquets.

At this time, in the lounge on the east side, from the air, people gathered in groups of twos and threes, talking and chatting. Everyone had their own circle of friends, and it was difficult to cross them.

Even if Li Weidong provides the venue and opportunity, not many can succeed, but for that small probability, you have to try your luck.

There is a small stage next to it. Most of the people singing on the stage are popular singers. If there is a concert outside, the seats will be packed and the venue will be full.

But here it seems that I have received undue treatment. There is no interaction or applause, and I am completely reduced to a foil.

Because the people here are all rich and wealthy, and there are no fanatical star-chasers. Even if they are star-chasers, they can't miss the mark here. When can you not be rich?

Moreover, the rich people gathering here are the best time for business exchanges, getting to know each other, and seeking cooperation. How can they have the free time to attract celebrities?

Celebrities who are accustomed to flowers and applause do not dare to be dissatisfied at all. Celebrities without capital support are destined to not last long. Fans are just tools to make money, and capital is the father.

No matter how big a person is, he is just a star in front of capital, and when Luo Jialiang invited them, he had strict requirements, and no one dared to mess around.

So what if they are not actors under Luo Jialiang? The big guys will naturally give each other face, and their cooperation will never be affected by one star.

When Li Weidong walked in, Liu Jinhui also appeared at the door of the banquet hall with her daughter in her arms. Li Weidong was naturally reluctant to let his wife and children wait for the guests at the door.

Several people walked into the banquet hall, causing a commotion. When the guests found out, they all stood up to say hello. Even several Hong Kong tycoons stood up to show their respect.

Li Weidong took the wine glass handed over by the waiter, and started clinking glasses with his wife and children one by one from the door, listening to the blessings and polite remarks such as poor hospitality.

Wang Jingwen, who was singing on the stage, saw a young man come in and clink glasses with the guests frequently. She knew without thinking that this was the owner, but such a young owner surprised her.

He was young, but all the guests were very polite to him, which showed that his status was definitely not low. When she saw this, she almost forgot the lyrics.

The music in the good headphones did not stop, and I was extremely familiar with my song. I could hum along with the melody, so there was no performance accident.

She only knew that this banquet was a full-moon feast for the daughter of a rich man. She thought it was prepared by a rich man for his granddaughter, who at least had a son in old age.

Otherwise, how could we afford to invite so many tycoons to give us face?

Li Weidong walked up to several big bosses, clinked glasses one by one, and said, "Thank you for your respect and coming to my daughter's full moon drink. Thank you very much!"

Li Weidong's net worth may be the envy of many people, but it is really not enough in front of these few people. He can't compare to his net worth of tens of billions.

It was beyond Li Weidong's expectation that they came. At first, he thought that these people would send his children and nephews to come over. After all, Li Weidong's heels were too shallow, so it was enough to give them some face, without being there in person.

But when Li Weidong sent someone to send the invitation, they all replied that they would be there in person to congratulate him. Li Weidong knew that he was doing a great job.

"Only when I saw Mr. Li did I realize what it means that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. It seems that I can't accept it anymore!" Mr. Huo, who was standing with President Zhou, said with a smile.

"Mr. Huo, please don't flatter me. At my level, which is just for my own entertainment, how can I compare with seniors like you?" Li Weidong said hurriedly and humbly.

When it comes to money, Li Weidong may have a point. According to status, everyone in this group of people has a lot of titles. These titles are not just for fun, they are social status.

Either the president of the Chamber of Commerce, some kind of chairman, or some kind of justice of the peace, anyway, there is no Bai Ding.

"We are all from Songnei. Our purpose is to seek truth from facts. Excessive modesty is pride. Stop being humble!" A big boss next to him said to save face.

Of course I say that, but I don’t know what’s going on in my heart, but Li Weidong is carrying people in sedan chairs and has such a big industry at his age, so his future is limitless.

It is said that a young man should not be bullied into poverty, but this young man is so rich, so he cannot be bullied even more. With the speed of Li Weidong's fortune, he will either go bankrupt or have unlimited wealth.

Several people gathered around Liu Jinhui and praised him again, saying that Li Weidong was so lucky to marry such a beautiful wife and give birth to such a smart and lovely daughter.

This compliment and praise made Liu Jinhui feel flattered and made Li Weidong feel proud. He was now someone who could talk to these big guys on an equal footing.

Wang Jingwen sang two songs, and towards the end, the emcee motioned for Li Weidong to come up and speak!

In order to avoid making a fuss, the emcee Li Weidong invited was only responsible for the ordering, and there was no opening remarks, connection, etc., and there was no need to go on stage to introduce.

All the singers come up to sing in order. After singing, they go down and another singer comes up.

If you don't look at the stage, you will think it is a tape playing. This is the effect Li Weidong wants. No one can take over the spotlight. Today, his daughter is the protagonist, and no one can take away her glory.

Wang Jingwen handed the microphone to Li Weidong, and also observed Li Weidong at close range, with eyes full of curiosity!

It was the first time that Li Weidong saw this queen-level figure up close. His gentle smile at her made Wang Jingwen instantly feel that the rich man was really handsome.

Li Weidong cleared his throat and said, "Dear guests, relatives, friends, and friends, thank you for coming to my daughter's full moon banquet. I didn't want to trouble you, but I also want to share my joy with you. It's a pity!"

"So I invite you all to take time out of your busy schedule to attend my daughter's full moon party. On behalf of my daughter, I am here to feel honored and on behalf of my whole family, I would like to thank you all!"

"But to make up for everyone's wasted time, I want to tell you a way to get rich here, and you will not lose any money. If you lose money, you can come to me to make up for it!"

Li Weidong looked like a magician and said with a smile. He felt that he still had to say it. Although the effect may not be good, saying it was better than not saying it at all.

There was a round of applause from the audience, and several celebrities laughed the most and were the most excited. There is no such thing as a guaranteed profit, but if Li Weidong, a rich man, said it, the credibility would increase.

"The way to get rich is very simple. We are all wealthy people. If you invest in the mainland, you are guaranteed to make money!" Li Weidong said after the people below calmed down.

Discussions rang out below, with voices of disbelief, the most questioning, and very few nodding. It was not only Li Weidong who became the focus, but even President Zhou who was sitting on the chair seemed to be the focus.

At this time, President Zhou was smiling, but he felt a little embarrassed in his heart. This was not what he asked Li Weidong to say. Besides, it should have been said at the investment promotion meeting!

"The simplest factor is that the mainland has a population of one billion. What is the population of Hong Kong Island? Six million. What is this concept?"

"For example, Miss Wang, who sang very well just now, I heard that her songs are very popular in Hong Kong Island, selling millions of copies, and even setting records!"

"But these millions are not even 1% of the population of one billion!"

"Some people will say that mainland China is poor and there are few rich people. We don't plan to buy it for everyone. Only 1% of people will buy it. What is its sales volume?"

"And which one is easier? Miss Wang, if you return to China to release records, I think our company's employees will have the purchasing power, and of course I will buy it myself!"

The laughter in the audience was filled with goodwill!

After Wang Jingwen heard what Li Weidong said, she immediately said, "Mr. Li, I will return to China to develop immediately!"

The laughter in the audience became even louder. Li Weidong recommended it so hard that Wang Jingwen should pay Li Weidong advertising fees.

"Some people may also say that the situation in the mainland is unstable. I would like to ask who said this. I can guarantee that his motives are not pure and he wants to be the first to do business in the mainland!"

"It is very possible that this person has made a lot of investments in mainland China. After all, there are not many kind-hearted people like me in this world. I will tell you that there is money to be made here, come here!"

Li Weidong's words caused everyone to applaud again, but everyone still wanted to hear the next words, so the applause was short and rapid.

"I can tell you responsibly that in the next fifty years or even longer, the center of economic construction will not change, because one billion people do not want to live in poverty!"

"Furthermore, the path of reform and opening up has been proven to be correct, so it will only become wider and wider, and will never become narrower or narrower. The people will not agree with it if it goes back."

"The needs of one billion people are better understood by those here than me. Moreover, at a time when the domestic infrastructure is poor and the technical level is low, you have the funds and technology, why can't you succeed?"

"At this time, if you are still hesitant or even thinking about the future of Hong Kong Island in three years, you are simply wasting your life!"
