Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 371 Sequelae

"As for Hong Kong Island, I think everyone does not need to have unrealistic worries. No matter it is now or in the future, Hong Kong Island can only get better and better and more prosperous!"

Li Weidong was a little against his will, but said with a very firm tone, God knows what the future of Hong Kong Island will be, but we cannot blame others for all this.

The development of skills is regular, and it will naturally slow down when it reaches a certain level. Moreover, during this 13-year transition period, the future of Hong Kong Island has been overdrawn.

The most direct thing is that housing prices on Hong Kong Island doubled several times. After 1997, they went back to their original shape and did not return to their original levels until ten years later.

"Of course, there are still many people in Hong Kong Island who are advocating some nonsense, and there are always people with ill intentions who slander us and say that our current policies will change!"

"I can also tell you for sure that change is definitely necessary. I am a staunch materialist and know the three laws of dialectics. Change is in line with the law of development of things!"

"But this change will definitely become better, more stable, and more conducive to the prosperity and development of Hong Kong Island. It will bring happiness to the people of Hong Kong Island without harming the interests of the people of Hong Kong Island!"

"Looking at what some people are doing now, they have the intention to bring down Hong Kong Island, and they even want to make a profit before retiring, hyping certain concepts and looking for someone to take over!"

"The mainland will not mess up Hong Kong Island, nor will it allow Hong Kong Island to be messed up. A stable business environment is not only needed by Hong Kong Island, but also by the mainland, so be careful of those rotten people who are misleading the public!"

Li Weidong said with a smile, but the anger in his mouth was relatively strong. Everyone here was not a fool, and they could all understand who some of the people Li Weidong was talking about!

There were even a few expressions on the scene that were a little abnormal. Maybe these were people who wanted to make a profit at the last moment. They were exposed and felt uncomfortable.

"Everyone, the mainland has a vast hinterland and a market with huge potential. Cherish this opportunity. Twenty years from now, you will definitely have a place on the rich list!"

There were some things he couldn't explain too clearly. In order to attract Hong Kong investment, the mainland offered tax exemptions and tax reductions, which greatly reduced their operating costs.

If all Hong Kong businessmen flood into the country, it will be unfair to local companies that pay taxes normally.

Although most of the companies under Li Weidong's name invest or hold shares in the mainland as Hong Kong investors and enjoy such benefits, there are only a few like Li Weidong after all.

"Dear guests, thank you again for coming. I won't say any more nonsense. I'll have some wine on the side. Please take your seats. We'll chat while we eat. I apologize for the poor hospitality!"

Li Weidong felt that he had said a lot, and it was all practical information. As for whether they believed it or not, Li Weidong didn't care. Anyway, he believed it, and everyone who believed in him had already made a fortune.

"Comrade Xiao Li, the investment promotion department should give you a bonus, otherwise I will be sorry for your speech today!" After Li Weidong came down, President Zhou said with a smile.

"I'm just talking casually, just give me a bonus. I wonder if the leaders of China Merchants Bureau can help me solve the staffing problem?" Li Weidong also smiled and followed the words.

Starting this year, the civil service examination with a very low admission rate appeared. In August this year, the first batch of civil service examinations began to register, which also started the history of China's civil service examination.

Although it is not yet implemented that all applicants must take the exam, in the near future, this requirement will gradually be implemented, and it will become increasingly difficult. For some positions, thousands of people will even be admitted to such a terrifying ratio.

Li Weidong remembered that his daughter had graduated from college and looked down upon their careers. She wanted to join the system and find a way to live a peaceful life. It took a lot of effort and it was difficult to get into the system.

"Haha, okay, one day when I meet the comrades from the relevant departments, I will definitely mention your request to them. I believe they will be very happy!" President Zhou also said with a smile.

"Thank you very much, President Zhou. I will definitely treat you to dinner then!" Li Weidong also followed President Zhou's words and said with a sincere and frightened expression.

President Zhou laughed when he saw Li Weidong's expression. Making a joke would help liven up the atmosphere and bring the relationship closer, and then continued.

"What you just said is very good. You should have this kind of confidence and confidence. We have been reforming and opening up for more than ten years, and Hong Kong's policies have been established for several years, but some people just don't believe it!"

"I am paranoid and paranoid every day. I always seem to be thinking about what we are after them, what we are after them, and what do they have? We are safeguarding unity."

"Not only them, but also some of our own comrades can't see the situation clearly. Although they call for liberating their minds every day, their thoughts are still very conservative."

President Zhou used to be a soldier. He has a hot temper and tough words. He dislikes some people and says it directly to his face.

"Just because we are conservative, we must emancipate our minds!" Li Weidong saw that the old man was very angry and quickly answered.

"Hey, let's not talk about them. If there are more people like you, comrades like Zhenhua will be able to do well outside and won't be afraid of anything!"

"President Zhou, you think too highly of me. I just did some things that I should do. Let's take a seat, shall we?" Li Weidong didn't dare to take advantage of this to flatter him.

"Okay, okay, we can't keep the guests waiting, go and greet them quickly, we are our own people, don't worry about us!" President Zhou waved his hand and asked Li Weidong to take care of the guests.

Suddenly, President Zhou seemed to have thought of something. He waved to Li Weidong and said, "In a few days, there will be a symposium held by Chinese-funded enterprises. You can also come and listen to it. You can communicate with each other and see if there is any possibility of cooperation.

!”

Hearing this, Li Weidong's heart skipped a beat. The Chinese-funded companies in Hong Kong Island were just a few, each with a Chinese prefix, and later they even occupied the top 500 companies in the world for a long time!

And these companies all have one thing in common: they do a lot of business, almost everything, and any one of them can meet almost all the needs of a small country.

After communicating and discussing cooperation with these big guys, it was natural that Li Weidong agreed.

There are almost hundreds of guests, but the waiters are no less than the guests. Almost every guest has a corresponding waiter to serve him.

The tables in the entire banquet hall were arranged in the shape of a plum blossom, with the catch being at the center of the plum blossom. The cold dishes on the table were ready, and four cold dishes were placed in front of everyone.

Hot dishes were also pushed in on a trolley, and there were still several servers serving one table. Li Weidong even wondered if these waiters were borrowed from other places.

Seeing this scene, Li Weidong felt that the money spent was really worth it. The meal sharing system was spectacular. He saw it at the state banquet last time and immediately remembered it in his heart.

It feels so shocking, like an ancient emperor giving a banquet.

The meal-sharing system is not Western. It has precedents in ancient China. In the 5,000-year history of civilization, the rulers of the meal-sharing system have been rulers for almost 3,500 years. The emperor has nine tripods and eight guis, the princes have seven tripods and six guis, and the officials have five tripods and four guis!

What's more, if a husband doesn't have enough food to eat during his lifetime, he will only have enough to drink when he dies. These are all products of the meal-sharing culture.

Li Weidong held the wine glass and toasted at the table, taking care of everyone whether they were familiar or unfamiliar.

There were hundreds of guests, each of whom spoke a word or hundreds of words, and some even spoke a few more words. Li Weidong basically did not sit down during the entire dinner.

The banquet is not long. After all, everything that needs to be said has been said and everyone that needs to be known has been met. Almost none of the guests here are here just for dinner.

The banquet ended at around nine o'clock. When I got home, both children were already asleep. After Li Weidong took a bath, he lay down on the bed so tired that he didn't want to do anything.

"Oh, it's so tiring. I can never do this kind of thing again. I talk in a foggy way, and I'm always worried about being taken in!" Li Weidong complained to his wife while lying on the bed.

"You won't be able to do it even if you want to, and I can't do it again. I've had two babies in the past three years, and everyone is laughing at me!" Liu Jinhui also said tiredly.

"Who are you laughing at? They are just naked jealousy!" Li Weidong said while holding Liu Jinhui's hand.

"What's there to be envious about? Envying me for waking up several times a night, envying me for not being able to work for half a year?"

Liu Jinhui was chattering there, but she couldn't hear Li Weidong's response. She turned around and took a look and found that Li Weidong was already lying there upright and asleep.

Pulling a thin quilt over Li Weidong, Liu Jinhui stared at Li Weidong carefully. It seemed that she hadn't stared at him so closely for a long time.

Li Weidong is not the handsome type, but he is very good-looking. Rich people should be very good-looking. As long as they are rich, even aliens will be called daddy.

Liu Jinhui looked at Li Weidong and was thinking about something. Watching Li Weidong greet everyone at the banquet today, Liu Jinhui felt very distressed!

Li Weidong had told her more than once what kind of life he liked. Although he told her many kinds of things, none of them involved drinking and drinking together. Li Weidong hated this kind of occasion.

But I can’t help myself!

After the full moon wine was served, Li Weidong took care of the children at home and became his daughter's slave. However, the influence of the full moon wine did not disappear, but gradually fermented.

The media in Hong Kong Island began to report vigorously. Li Weidong became a celebrity in Hong Kong Island overnight. Under the media reports, he no longer had any privacy.

They were more interested in how much money Li Weidong had, and began to analyze various industries under Li Weidong's name. They even predicted where Li Weidong would rank in next year's rich list.

What Li Weidong couldn't accept was that reporters had already arrived at the door of his home, and some reporters began to gather, all trying to take a frontal photo of Li Weidong.

If that's all, that's it. Li Weidong's family has also been affected. His father has not been to the carpenter's shop for several days and has been sighing at home all day long.

If you don't go there for one day, you will lose hundreds or thousands of dollars!

Xie Ming chased away the reporters gathered at the door several times, but like dog-skin plaster, these reporters set up cameras not far away and pointed at the door of Li Weidong's home.

Li Weidong even called the Hong Kong police. When the Hong Kong police arrived, they ignored the matter and said that these reporters were conducting legal interviews and did not infringe on Li Weidong's rights.

He even made some high-sounding sarcastic remarks, saying that reporters have the right to supervise and everyone must live in the sun. He seemed to be suspicious of Li Weidong's source of wealth.

Young Zhang Hao looked at the mixed-race Hong Kong policeman's expression of wanting to be beaten. If he hadn't considered that it would bring some trouble to Li Weidong, he would have even wanted to go up and beat him twice.

"Where has Luo Jialiang been these past two days? Let him come and deal with it!" The Hong Kong police ignored the matter, and Li Weidong naturally thought of Luo Jialiang, who was a gangster.

Since ancient times, there have been evil people who still need to be punished by evil people. This method is often effective, quick, and prevents recurrence.

"It is said that they went to the Mainland to shoot a movie. How about we stop them at night and beat them up, so that they won't be able to detect any injuries!" Xie Ming said thoughtfully.

He is more annoying than Li Weidong. They are Li Weidong's bodyguards. With so many people, who knows if there will be any crazy ones. If there is any harm to Li Weidong, it is their dereliction of duty.

Even if Li Weidong can't be hurt, even if he throws a stone and hits the flowers and plants, it's wrong. They know how much the boss lady cares about these flowers and plants.

"What a bad idea this is. If you can't test it and hurt them, they can't be disgusted with you!"

Li Weidong rolled his eyes and said, the best way to deal with these paparazzi is to be more ruthless than them. They are not afraid of gentlemen but villains.

"What kind of movie is he going to make? Does he understand movies? He is also thinking of traveling at public expense and asking him to come back to deal with this matter!"

Xie Ming looked at Li Weidong and didn't look like he was cheating. He ran into the room to make a phone call!

Luo Jialiang came back quickly and showed up at Li Weidong's home that afternoon, smiling obsequiously at Li Weidong.

Luo Jialiang responded to Li Weidong's call to develop in the mainland. In order to show its importance, he flew to the capital early on the second day of the Full Moon Wine.

A movie they were co-producing with the Mainland was being shot. Originally, he wanted to go directly to the filming location to guide the filming. However, he was called back by Li Weidong within two days of his arrival and before he could get enough of it.

Xie Ming didn't even tell him what was going on. That kind of words were definitely not suitable to be said on the phone, or even said out loud. It had to be conveyed through eyes or expressions.

If he said it directly, wouldn’t he become a gangster?

"Chairman, don't worry, they won't dare to come tomorrow, not only at your home but also at the company, including your uncle's furniture factory!"

Luo Jialiang said aggressively, there are too many ways to deal with these people, some from top to bottom, and some from bottom to top.

"Okay, be careful and don't kill anyone!" Li Weidong looked at Luo Jialiang's aggressive look and was a little worried. If someone died, it would be a big mess.

"Chairman, don't worry. If you kill someone, you will be jailed. We must be sensible. Let's first check which newspapers they belong to. If you have any friendship, say hello to their leaders directly!"

"If this method doesn't work, then we can only follow his family and threaten him. Of course, we are just trying to scare them. It will definitely not happen, and it will not harm his family!"

As Luo Jialiang was talking, he saw Li Weidong's actions and quickly explained that he believed that if he explained too late, the teapot in Li Weidong's hand might fly to him.

Three days after Luo Jialiang arrived, the door of Li Weidong's house was indeed quiet. Occasionally, a few reporters who came over and wanted to take pictures of Li Weidong were "politely" asked to leave.

Although reporters don't appear here often, Li Weidong's satisfaction with this place has dropped a lot.

Although as usual, I often go fishing on the yacht, or take my wife and children out to bask in the sun, my sense of belonging here is getting lower and lower.

Thank you all for your monthly votes, thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you very much!
