Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 380 380 Around the Spring Festival

"We have started to build a position, and now we have almost 30% of the position. The stock market in Hong Kong has been sluggish recently. If we sell too many stocks, it will have a great impact on the market!" Xu Yanden said carefully.

Xu Yanden knew that his progress on this matter was indeed a bit slow. In addition to the decline in the Hong Kong stock market, the US stock market also did not stop falling and rebounded, and even continued to decline.

Therefore, he has been acting unhappily. Now that Li Weidong has intervened again, he is naturally a little unreasonable. If he fails to complete the work assigned by the leader, he will be criticized.

Sure enough, Li Weidong looked at Xu Yandeng with an unhappy expression, "Deal with it as soon as possible. If you feel there is a problem with the execution, you can come to me at any time!"

"I'll make arrangements when I get back." Xu Yanden didn't have any rebuttal, and he didn't dare to give any explanation. Li Weidong's words were very clear. If he couldn't do it, he could replace him.

Naturally, Xu Yanden could not give up this bright future. Facts proved that he could not have any doubts about Li Weidong. Nothing Li Weidong had done was unsuccessful.

Xu Yandeng saw that Li Wei had no other arrangements, so he said goodbye. Liu Weidong did not make any effort to stay. The rewards and punishments were clear. This was what a boss should do.

If you listen to him, for example, if you make more than one billion in the Japanese financial market, he can reward you. If you don't listen to him, he will also provide timely criticism and education.

If you don't correct it, you will be eliminated!

The technology stocks in the United States and the resulting bubbles are the key to Li Weidong's future layout and the best opportunity for him to increase his wealth, so Li Weidong does not allow any mistakes.

This requirement is not only for Xu Yandeng, but also for the branch of Fengxing Capital in the United States. He must read the work report every month and be prepared to make corrections at any time.

Xu Yandeng left, and also brought the news of Li Weidong's illness. Early the next morning, several waves of people came to visit him.

If he followed this standard and treatment, people who didn't know better would have thought that Li Weidong was seriously ill!

"What are you doing here? I'm just going to sneeze twice and have a runny nose. You people who are trying to stir up troubles don't know that you thought you were going to send me off for the last time!" Li Weidong said helplessly.

Several people expressed condolences to Li Weidong one by one and said some sincere words of concern. Looking at their smiling expressions, Li Weidong felt that they were mostly joking.

Li Weidong said to Zou Yi, Zheng Sijing and others who came, "Okay, I've seen it, and I've said it. Let's go back. This Xu Yandeng is almost a father, and he is still a big mouth. Sooner or later, he will

Deal with him!"

Several people looked at each other and didn't know what to say. Finally, Liu Jinhui smoothed things over and said, "You are sick. Everyone came to see you but they didn't say it was troublesome. You are still saying weird things here?"

Liu Jinhui said to several people again, "He has had a sore throat these past two days and his speech is unpleasant. You are not outsiders, so don't be surprised.

He just caught a cold, a small cold, it will be fine in two days, there is no need to mobilize troops and waste everyone's time like this!"

A few people quickly said they didn't dare. The lady boss was kind, but the boss was not sure!

Zou Yi is a lesbian and does not need to be too taboo about what she says. She just smiled and said, "The leader is sick. If he doesn't come to visit, it will appear that we subordinates are too unkind and unjust!"

"By the way, this is the latest model of mobile phone produced by Nokia. It is only about the size of a palm, much smaller than before. These are customized encrypted mobile phones, specially given to you!"

Zou Yi took out two mobile phones from the paper bag next to him. Looking at the pattern on the outer packaging, he found that they looked relatively small.

"They have so many product models and they release new products every day. You can make a suggestion to their board of directors on my behalf!" Li Weidong looked at the outer packaging of the mobile phone and shook his head.

"You said it, I'll remember it!" Zou Yi took out a palm-sized notebook and a pen from a brand-name handbag next to him. The woman's handbag was indeed a treasure chest.

"You tell them not to make so many models. What's the point of making so many mobile phones at the same price? If you have the energy, why not study one carefully and make them perfect!"

"Don't have too many models, as long as they can cover the high, middle and low-end, don't be too obsessed with diversification!"

Li Weidong thought of the mobile phones of later generations. Among almost all models, only Apple's model was the most successful. Of course, their system contributed a lot, but the relatively single model was also one of the factors for success.

Later, both Xiaomi and Huawei adopted the relatively single model of this model and succeeded. This shows that this model is better than grabbing eyebrows and beards.

Moreover, by concentrating on a few series, R&D funds and production costs can be saved a lot.

Those who wish to have dozens of models at the same price point, claiming to meet different customer needs, often end up with too many models, causing all kinds of troubles.

Later, the failure of Nokia and BlackBerry was due to too many model types in addition to the system.

After Zou Yiyong wrote it down, he said, "I will tell the truth to the board of directors. I think they will definitely consider your opinion carefully!"

Li Weidong smiled and said nothing. Although he was the major shareholder, according to the original agreement, he did not have all the voting rights at this stage and could not play a decisive role in the board of directors.

However, as long as the company's board members are not fools, they should carefully consider Li Weidong's suggestion.

"Chairman, although the final version of Nokia's financial statements for last year has not yet been released, the first version has been released. This year's profits have more than doubled compared to the previous year.

Especially in the second half of the year, it can be said to be explosive growth. It is foreseeable that profits will be even greater next year. The board of directors has made the decision to continue to expand production capacity to meet the surge in market demand!"

"It means I won't see any dividends this year!" Li Weidong interrupted Zou Yi and said.

"It's not entirely true, there may be a little bit. After all, the company needs to expand production capacity and requires a lot of investment!" Zou Yi said with a smile after hearing Li Weidong's words.

"Okay, if you don't pay dividends, don't pay dividends. Just don't let me invest any more money. I'm a pauper now, but you are all rich!" Li Weidong said with a sigh.

Several people smiled kindly. What Li Weidong said was true. The two companies he directly held, whether it was Ruibos or Xinsheng, didn't have much money in their accounts. I'm afraid they really didn't have the cash of the subsidiaries under their names.

Lots of flow.

After talking for a while, Li Weidong sent a few people away and said, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I wish you all a Happy New Year in advance. You are all busy during the Chinese New Year, so there is no need to come over!"

During this year's Spring Festival, both parents are in their hometown, and only Li Weidong's family of four is celebrating the New Year here. Although it is relatively deserted, it is also the first Spring Festival for their little family and they cannot be careless.

Li Weidong doesn't want to be disturbed by too many people. Spending the Spring Festival with his wife and children is also a warm thing.

Two days before the Spring Festival, Li Weidong's illness finally recovered, and the family began to clean up the old and welcome the new. They cleaned up dead spots and were determined not to let dirt celebrate the New Year with them.

Last year's lanterns were replaced, new ones were hung high, new couplets were replaced, and New Year pictures were posted. The festive atmosphere was very strong.

Although he was mentally prepared to celebrate the Spring Festival as a family of four, Li Weidong felt a little uncomfortable holding a wine glass alone on New Year's Eve.

He wanted to ask Xie Ming and the others to come over and have a drink with him, but since the number of bodyguards at home increased, these bodyguards also started to behave themselves and no longer ate at the same table with his boss.

In Xie Ming's words, in the past, it was because of ignorance and ignorance of the rules. Now that there are more people, if they continue to disobey the rules, it will mess up the hierarchy and make it difficult to manage.

After dinner, Li Weidong thought that his mobile phone would be busy, but he miscalculated. It seemed that everyone had made an appointment. Except for a few people with higher status, no one called him again.

The pager, which is no longer used much, keeps ringing, all to send him New Year greetings. It will take another two years for the SMS function to be implemented in mobile phones produced by Nokia.

Li Weidong wanted to call home, but the village has not yet received a call. He used to call Li Weimin for anything, but now Li Weimin can't get through the phone in his hometown.

Liu Jinhui called her father-in-law's family to wish her a happy New Year. Although she said auspicious words, the expression on her face was somewhat melancholy. She had not seen her parents for more than half a year.

"Grandma is such a badass, why don't you celebrate the New Year here next year!" Li Weidong swore secretly in his heart.

If your parents are here, you can celebrate the New Year anywhere. Without your parents, you always feel like something is missing.

Fortunately, after the Spring Festival, Li Chengwen and his wife came back with Li Weihong within two days. Hong Kong Island does not have annual holidays, and Li Weihong's winter vacation is coming to an end.

"Mom and dad, how are you at home?" Li Weidong asked after picking up his parents at Shencheng Airport.

This was a good sentence, so naturally I asked about everything about my family, including my grandparents, grandma, and my parents and fellow villagers.

"Okay, everything is fine!" Shen Yueying's answer also included that everything was going smoothly.

After getting in the car, Shen Yueying began to talk to Li Weidong about everything at home. She had to tell Li Weidong everything that happened during the more than half a month they had to go back.

Li Weidong also looked like he was bowing his head and listening, still thinking about things at home.

"Listen to what you said, are you going to visit all your relatives this time?" Li Weidong was eye-opening.

He couldn't even imagine that he would have to visit a relative's house almost every day. There were many relatives in rural areas, and Li Weidong's family was a star in the village and had even more relatives.

"No, there have been so many weddings and funerals at home this year, but we didn't go there. After the event, we went home and went to see them!" Li Chengwen said matter-of-factly.

Li Weidong didn't know much about these worldly affairs. He didn't even know that if something bad happened to a family this year and someone was missing, he would have to go to that family to express condolences before and after the Chinese New Year.

On the way for more than two hours, Li Weidong didn't even finish listening to what his parents and sister said about what happened in his hometown.

When we arrived at home, Liu Jinhui and her two children were already waiting in the yard!

When Li Chengwen and Shen Yueying saw their grandson and granddaughter, they quickly got out of the car and forgot about everything that happened in their hometown. They hugged their children and were very affectionate.

"Grandson, kowtow to grandpa, grandpa has prepared a big red envelope for you!" Li Chengwen took out a red envelope and said to Li Qian.

In Li Chengwen's opinion, it would be more joyful for a grandson to kowtow to his grandfather than a son to kowtow to his father. It would be even happier if he could wait until his great-grandson kowtows to him.

Li Qian looked at the red envelope in Li Chengwen's hand with no interest, and he was even less interested in kowtow.

Seeing his grandson's reaction, Li Chengwen didn't feel any embarrassment at all. Instead, he dug out two exquisitely crafted ceramic zodiac signs in his suitcase and placed the chicken-shaped one in front of Li Qian.

Li Qian reacted and wanted to reach out to take it. This time, Li Chengwen asked his grandson to kowtow to him in the New Year and it was much smoother.

Looking at his grandson who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to him in a decent manner, Li Chengwen burst out laughing. He handed the doll to Li Qian and put the dog-like one in Li Rui's stroller.

I took out two red envelopes, one for my grandson and one for my granddaughter. I should give some lucky money during the Chinese New Year. I don’t care how much it is, but I still have to have it.

Li Weihong also took out two red envelopes and handed them to his niece and nephew in a decent manner. The size of the red envelopes was the same as the ones given to Li Tai, Haiyu and Gao Haiyan at home.

It’s not because of Li Weidong’s relationship that we should give more points. Brothers and sisters are still more pure.

My parents came back and finally made up for the unfinished New Year and had a happy reunion dinner.

"It will get warmer in a while. Do you really want to go back?" After dinner, Li Chengwen and Li Weidong, father and son, sat together drinking tea and chatting. Li Chengwen suddenly asked.

When Li Weidong heard his father's words, looking at his expression, he was stunned for a moment, and then his thoughts turned secretly, and he knew what he meant.

"I came here because I was pregnant with Li Rui, and now the children are born. If it weren't for the fear of the weather in the north, I would have gone back years ago!" Li Weidong said.

Li Weidong said comfortingly, "Of course you can not go back now and continue working in the carpentry shop here. The contract still has two years!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You have all gone back. What am I doing here by myself?" Li Chengwen shook his head.

Then he sighed again and said, "It's just such a pity for this profitable business!"

Li Chengwen felt it was a pity, but he also knew that this little money was nothing to Li Weidong. The money he earned had no practical significance except to prevent him from asking his son for money!

When it comes to the fundamentals, whether he can earn this money is because of his son, and there is not much difference between reaching out and asking his son for money.

For him, it's just something to do. He doesn't need to make too much money. It's enough to buy some snacks and toys for his grandchildren.

Moreover, with the money Li Chengwen has, it is already enough to buy snacks and toys for his children.

"If you can't bear it, let others manage the carpentry shop and become the hands-off shopkeeper yourself!" Li Weidong reminded, this is what he and Liu Jinhui did.

Manage personnel well, find a professional manager, and set up a supervision system. It doesn't matter whether there is someone in that position or not.

Besides, with today's transportation and communications so advanced, it is completely possible to strategize and win a victory thousands of miles away.

"How can such a good thing happen? How much money can this carpentry shop make? If we hire another shopkeeper, we will only lose money!" Li Chengwen shook his head and said.

"Then open a bigger one. It will create scale and profits will naturally be higher. Why don't you just hire a shopkeeper?" Li Weidong said smoothly.

Li Chengwen looked at Li Weidong as if he were an idiot, drank all the water in the cup, stood up and walked out.

Li Weidong was a little embarrassed when Li Chengwen looked at him like this. The carpentry shop was almost a manual workshop with a low degree of mechanization. How could there be any scale effect?

As time goes by, the temperature in Hong Kong Island gradually rises. By the end of the month, you only need to wear a short-sleeved shirt to cope with the morning and evening temperatures.

Li Weidong was sitting in the living room, reading the newspaper and drinking tea!

The entire half of the financial section of the newspaper used a few prominent characters and a slightly mocking tone to comment on the 327 National Debt Incident that had occurred for two days.
