Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 383 Not yet qualified to participate in the Wealth Forum

"What are you afraid of with face cramps? It's already fine if your heart doesn't cramp!" The smile on Li Weidong's face did not diminish at all, but he said a little shamelessly.

No one would understand Li Weidong's mood at this time. After all, Li Weidong invests in too many companies every year. If everyone was so excited, this day would not be necessary.

"Isn't it just investing in a company, why should I be so excited?" Although Liu Jinhui and Li Weidong met day and night, slept in the same bed, and often had in-depth exchanges, she could not understand Li Weidong's indescribable excitement.

Like most people, she doesn't know much about the new thing called the Internet, or even if she knows there is a future for them, she doesn't think about what the future will look like.

Perhaps even the most imaginative novelist would not have imagined that the Internet would be all-encompassing and omniscient in the future, becoming a true crest of a wave.

"That is necessary. This company is different from other companies. It is not of the same order of magnitude at all. You will know later, just wait and count the money!" Li Weidong said arrogantly.

Although Li Weidong didn't know Yahoo's final market value, he knew that this company had dominated an era for a long time.

Including Mr. Zhang, who later became known as the Godfather of the Internet in China, the company he founded also plagiarized Yahoo’s operating model to a certain extent.

Moreover, during the Internet bubble period a few years later, Yahoo! has always been a benchmark company on Nasdaq and the object of worship for many Internet companies. Its market value is definitely not small.

Even after the Internet bubble ended, Yahoo was still very large, with not only a large market value but also large cash flows. It later invested US$1 billion in Alibaba.

Only then did Alibaba buy back Yahoo's shares in later generations. Although Alibaba had not yet gone public, Yahoo still made tens of billions of dollars from Alibaba.

Even if Li Weidong doesn't know this, he has heard of the name Yahoo. As long as the company whose name is left in his mind is a good company, and there are only a few such companies in the world, it is natural to catch every one.

As for whether Sequoia Capital and SoftBank, which invested in Yahoo in their previous lives, can get a share of Yahoo's pie, Li Weidong doesn't care.

With Li Weidong here and with Li Weidong's Peking Capital in San Francisco and struggling on Nasdaq, it's unclear whether these two companies can continue to achieve glory.

It is estimated that venture capital companies such as SoftBank and Sequoia Capital can only live in Li Weidong's shadow. Companies that can become giants in the future will become Li Weidong's bag.

As for whether it is ethical to do so?

When has capital ever paid attention to morality, it has always used the law to the extreme. As for morality, it can only restrain others.

After Li Weidong was happy for a few days, he became a little depressed, only a little depressed of course.

Maybe Li Weidong will be very rich in the future, and even become the richest man in the world, and his current wealth is enough, but he is still not qualified to participate in this wealth global forum.

The first Fortune Global Forum was held not far away in Singapore. Of course, Li Weidong also knew that there would be many more in the future, and it would be held many times in China.

According to their logic, they choose an attractive "popular" location in the world to hold the event. From this, it is not difficult to see the status of China's economy in the world economy.

The forum only organizes attendees by invitation, and is limited to the chairmen, presidents, etc. of major multinational companies. In short, it is people who talk the talk and discuss global economic issues together.

As for whether this slogan is too loud and whether it can really discuss global economic issues, it depends on whether this unofficial organization has official participation and how high the level of the participants is.

This kind of specification directly brings the Fortune Global Forum to a new height. Everyone is proud to participate in this kind of meeting, and the leaders of the world's top 500 companies gather together to talk about cooperation.

How many economic interests will collide in this process?

To be honest, Li Weidong wanted to see this forum, but they only participated by invitation, and they did not invite Li Weidong.

He can't be so shameless as to run to the door by himself!

Therefore, although Li Weidong has a lot of wealth and is the head of a multinational company, he does not run entities and only engages in investments, which makes it difficult for him to be invited by Fortune magazine.

Li Weidong looked at the attendees. Several of them he had heard of were world-class celebrities, but they were all over forty or fifty years old, so Li Weidong felt calm.

Why is he arguing with these old men at such a young age?

As for what is reported in newspapers, he doesn't care much. Really valuable things will definitely not appear in newspapers, but after the forum is over, there will definitely be some economic cooperation.

This forum is actually for the purpose of maintaining media coverage and bringing these leaders together to see if there can be some sparks and a strategic cooperation.

The weather in Hong Kong Island is slowly getting hotter, the sun is scorching, and ultraviolet rays are beginning to show their power. Li Weidong, who often goes fishing, has already developed a lot of black and white skin on his body.

Li Weidong must seize the last opportunity to fish in the sea. The weather in Qizhou is gradually getting warmer. There is no need to face the sea, and spring flowers are blooming. Li Weidong's family will also go back.

A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as one's own doghouse. This is a wise saying. Although the villa where Li Weidong lives is also named after him, he always feels that this is not his home.

The carpentry shop that Li Chengwen had just made his name was no longer in operation and was transferred to the original landlord, Lao Zhang. In return, Lao Zhang returned the rent for more than one year.

Of course Li Chengwen is reluctant to let go, but there is nothing he can do about it. This is not his root. His roots are still in his hometown. Even if he is deeply reluctant to let go, he can only keep it in his heart.

Moreover, the current task of the old couple is to take care of their children. Naturally, wherever their son goes, they will follow the children. At worst, they can just go back and start another business.

He has money in his hands, so he is naturally not panicked!

If he can't let go of his newly established carpentry shop, there is also his youngest daughter Li Weihong. If they leave, only her daughter will study here by herself!

"Do you think Wei Hong can do it alone here? We shouldn't have agreed to let her come to school here in the first place. Now it's fine. He goes to school here and we go back!"

The night before they went home, Shen Yueying and Li Chengwen chatted. This really meant that Li Chengwen had come to his heart. After seeing this couple for thirty years, they still had a lot of common topics.

It really feels like "we are talking about it". Before Li Chengwen said anything, Shen Yueying knew what he was thinking. It was probably the tacit understanding and understanding between the husband and wife.

"What do you know? Can studying here be the same as studying at home? Besides, Wei Hong came here to ask for your opinion?" Li Chengwen said with a sigh, and he was not worried.

But he is a man. Although Shen Yueying usually shows off his power, when he really makes the decision, it is Li Chengwen, so he has to maintain a man's overall view.

Li Chengwen also knew his son's intention of making this arrangement, so he naturally knew that this arrangement was right.

He has been on Hong Kong Island for more than a year. Even though he commutes to and from get off work every day and occasionally meets some people who are willing to chat, he still knows how big the gap is between here and the mainland.

The education he received here was definitely different from the education in the mainland. As for what the difference was, Li Chengwen didn't know, and he didn't even know the term international perspective.

But he knew that after studying here, it would be different when he returned to the mainland. Even if he studied abroad and became a capable person, it would be different when he came out.

Moreover, it does not cost them a penny to go to school for their daughter. From the simplest point of view, they have no control over it. Of course, they can do it as parents, but they have lost their duty.

"I don't understand, but you know better. But she is a girl and has no one to rely on here. Don't you worry?" Shen Yueying simply sat up and said.

"Why don't you have anyone to rely on? Didn't Wei Dong say that? Those people below him can take care of Wei Hong. Okay, go to sleep. We have to catch a flight tomorrow morning!"

Li Chengwen did not want to continue discussing this issue. Although he played the role of Shen Yueying as the head of the family, he actually had this obstacle in his heart.

Although Hong Kong Island is very close to Shenzhen, and there are flights from Shenzhen to Qizhou, in my heart, they belong to one inside and one outside, and their entry and exit are subject to legal restrictions.

"How can those people be reliable? How can they take good care of themselves?" Shen Yueying retorted. She felt that children cannot leave home. Are children who leave home still children?

"Then what do you want to do? Let her go back to school. You think the school is run by your family and she can go wherever she wants?" Li Chengwen also sat up and lit a cigarette and said.

Sleeping at this time is meaningless for both of them, so it is better to smoke a cigarette to relax their mood.

Shen Yueying stopped talking. She was just complaining because she was worried about the wool.

"Just keep it in your heart, Weidong is more thoughtful than us. Such a big company can be managed well, don't talk about our housework!"

Li Chengwen took another drag on his cigarette and said, "We are all old and our children are older. We can no longer worry about our children. Just don't drag them down in the future!"

Li Chengwen said that his enthusiasm was waning. He didn't dare to think that he would retire this year when he was only 51. At this age, he was a full-year labor force in rural areas!

"Forget it, stop talking and go to sleep!" The more Li Chengwen thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, so he simply stopped thinking about it, put out the cigarette, covered his head and went to sleep.

Shen Yueying wanted to say something else, but when she saw that Li Chengwen had covered his head with Xia Liang, he could only sigh and lay on the bed with his head covered to sleep.

But I couldn't fall asleep because I was thinking about things. Just as I was about to fall asleep, it was getting dark again, and I saw Li Chengwen next to me still sleeping soundly.

Shen Yueying wanted to pat Li Chengwen and tell him to get up and go to work, but then she thought that they were going home today. It seemed that the habits they had developed over the past year were not so easy to change.

The family ate the breakfast carefully prepared by Sister Ding. Sister Ding naturally knew that Li Weidong's family was going back, and she felt very reluctant to leave. However, she was a nanny, so naturally she couldn't say much, so she could only send her boss off in her own way.

"You take care of yourself here and study hard!" Li Weidong said to Li Weihong while drinking porridge what he had said countless times.

"I know, I must study hard and make progress every day!" Li Weihong was also tired of hearing it, and his ears were getting calluses, but knowing that this was for her own good, she could only frown and respond.

"Stop being so playful and listen to your brother!" Shen Yueying said, looking at her daughter from the side.

"Mom, don't worry, there will definitely be no problem with me here!" Li Weihong put her arm around Shen Yueying's shoulders and said affectionately.

Li Weihong is not willing to let her parents leave. If her parents are here, she can still eat the food cooked by her mother when she comes back on weekends. Although it is not delicious, it tastes like her mother.

But she knew that Hong Kong Island was only a temporary residence after all. Their hometown was Handong, and that was their home.

"If you have anything to do, call Zou Yi or Luo Jialiang. I have already told her to call home frequently, you know?" Li Weidong continued to give instructions, as he had said the same thing.

Luo Jialiang has many brothers, so it is easier to handle some things, but for some serious matters, Luo Jialiang and his subordinates are not able to use them, and they have to trouble Zou Yi.

Seeing Li Weihong nod his head to show that he understood, Li Weidong thought for a while and felt that he had no instructions, so he continued to drink millet, yam and wolfberry porridge. Sister Ding was still very considerate.

At this time, there were several cars parked at the entrance of the villa. The boss was about to set off, and his subordinates naturally had to send them off. Originally, Li Weidong and his party had more people and more salutes, so a lot of cars were needed.

Now with the addition of these men who came to see him off, the convoy looks a bit spectacular!

At the departure platform of Shenzhen International Airport, there were several luxury cars lined up, one more luxurious than the other. They were all cars with license plates from both places. You could tell at a glance that they were not easy to mess with. Even the traffic police next to them turned a blind eye to this illegal parking behavior.

Li Weidong looked at the people standing in front of him and said, "Okay, we are all busy people. Go back and do your own thing. Don't delay your work by sending me off. I don't recognize this account!"

Hearing what Li Weidong said, several people knew that it was Li Weidong's joke, so they naturally laughed along with it.

"Chairman, don't worry, we have a flexible working system, and we will definitely work overtime to make up for it during this time!" Luo Jialiang said cooperatively after he finished laughing.

"Well, that's right. Mr. Luo's suggestion is good. You must have this awareness. Mr. Zou, please remember this and don't let him cheat!" Li Weidong said pretending to be serious.

After Li Weidong left Hong Kong Island, he appointed Zou Yi to be responsible for the daily work of Ruibos Holdings, so he could naturally manage Luo Jialiang.

"Chairman, don't worry, I will strictly assess Mr. Luo and conscientiously implement your instructions of strict management and love!" Zou Yi also said pretending to be serious.

Li Weidong and Zou Yi sang together, which did not make Luo Jialiang feel embarrassed at all. Instead, his face was full of excitement. Being able to make Li Weidong joke about him was a success in itself.

The usually serious Mr. Zou also started joking, which was even more of an honor for him.

At present, Guangying Entertainment is on the right track. The movies it shoots are getting higher and higher box office in the port. It has also invested in several movies and TV series in the mainland and has received excellent response.

With its abundant capital and high-quality scripts, Cinema Entertainment is considered a rising star in Hong Kong Island's film industry, and it even feels forced to shoot Qianlang to death on the beach.

Although the achievements of Light and Shadow Entertainment gave him some status in the industry, Luo Jialiang knew that he was considered a low-level figure among Li Weidong's subordinates.

In terms of personal ability, he is at the bottom. Among the bosses under Li Weidong, the lowest is a master's degree from a prestigious school, while he graduated from high school and later went to a part-time university.

In terms of company assets, these companies can easily reach billions or billions, while Movie Entertainment has assets of several hundred million, which is still a serious water injection.

But today, Zou Yi, the normally stern vice president, cooperated with Li Weidong in making his jokes. At this moment, he felt that he had a place in front of these people.

Being teased by others is also a kind of strength, and not everyone can be the target of Li Weidong's jokes.
