Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 385 Picking up the kids from school

At four o'clock in the afternoon, as usual, there were many families waiting for their children to leave the school gate at the entrance of the government primary school, but what was different from the past was that today was the day for the children to take exams.

Some of the more particular parents brought flowers, but of course most of them were as undiscerning as Li Weidong, with nothing in their hands except a cigarette in their hand.

Li Weidong leaned against a big tree, listening to the conversations of several parents nearby who were also gathering together with cigarettes between their arms, and looking at the campus. Of course, they were not necessarily all parents, and some were drivers or secretaries who picked up children for leaders.

The campus is silent now, with only a few of us security guards patrolling the door. But in a few minutes, when the school bell rings, you will know what it means to be lively.

Ding Yuan followed Li Weidong, looking around with wary eyes. Although the people around him looked familiar, the habit he had developed for a long time made him have to be vigilant.

With Li Weidong's current status, no one can be too vigilant, and people who want to do his job can be lined up for miles. Not to mention the distance, there are many people in their security team who want to replace him, and he is now

Guard captain.

Although there are only a dozen of them, their salaries and benefits are all top-notch, their annual bonuses are larger than those of ordinary executives, and they also receive a desired increase every year.

In short, if Li Weidong did not treat them badly, they must work seriously and responsibly and not let Li Weidong suffer even a little external harm.

His senior, Xie Ming, accidentally broke into a car accident while driving and knocked Li Weidong's head blue. Although Li Weidong didn't say anything, Xie Ming felt embarrassed to continue working, so he submitted his resignation to Li Weidong.

Although Li Weidong tried his best to persuade him to stay, he still refused to change his ambition. In the end, Li Weidong had no choice but to arrange for Xie Ming to work as a security captain in a company.

Although they are both captains, not to mention the difference in salary and remuneration, there is a huge difference in status. This is not a matter of money at all.

Li Weidong listened to the people next to him discussing national affairs and watched the silent countdown on his watch. The school's electronic bell rang, and the whole campus became lively. The sounds of children screaming could be heard from a few streets away.

Ding Yuan pointed to Li Weidong, who was far away in a blue down jacket, Li Qian. Li Weidong put out his cigarette butt on the wall. When Li Qian came closer, he waved and shouted, "Li Qian is here!"

"Dad, Uncle Ding!" Li Qian ran over happily after seeing Li Weidong and greeted Ding Yuan next to him.

"How did the exam go?" Li Weidong looked at the excited Li Qian and asked with a smile. If the child takes the exam, don't ask him how he did in the exam. Don't let the child have thoughts that he shouldn't have.

Some children hope that their parents will forget about this matter, but they don’t want to think about it. They went to school for half a year and just took this exam. How could they forget about it?

"It's definitely stable. It's simple. Eighty will definitely be no problem!" Li Qian raised his head and said matter-of-factly.

Li Weidong's heart trembled after hearing this. Usually the final result of saying this is not very good. This kid won't just fail the first grade exam and come back, right?

"When will you come back to get the results?" Li Weidong felt that seeing is believing. If you don't see the final results, no matter how good you say, it will be in vain.

"The teacher said that we will go back to school on Friday to get our results, and there will be a parent-teacher meeting then. Who will come, you or my mother?"

"Who do you want to come?"

"Can you come?" Li Qian looked at Li Weidong expectantly. As for why he didn't let his mother come, he naturally had his little Jiujiu in mind.

"Okay, as long as dad is fine on Friday, he will come to the parent-teacher meeting!" Li Weidong stroked Li Qian's little head and said. His son knew how to coax people, so naturally he had to give him face.

Zhang Hao drove the car over, and Ding Yuan immediately opened the door for Li Weidong and let Li Weidong and his wife get into the car. Then he ran to the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt, and the car started slowly.

The distance from school to home is less than one kilometer, but the weather is so cold, so driving is naturally warm, and Li Weidong is not short of gas money, so he can naturally make it as comfortable as possible.

The car drove slowly on the street, the scenery outside receded, and there were many shops along the street.

"Dad, you see, I can get 80% on the test. Can you agree to a request?" Li Qian looked at the scenery outside and said suddenly.

"Little bastard, the results haven't come out yet. How do you know you can get an 80% score? Why don't you compare with others who can get a 100% score? But you can talk about it first and see if I can agree!"

Li Weidong looked at Li Qian's begging, and finally couldn't bear to refuse. He had to give his children something to think about. Besides, what was wrong with a family like theirs.

"Dad, how can it be so easy to take the 100% test? Our teacher said that it is good to get 80%. I want to go to eat hamburgers, do you think it is okay?" Li Qian looked at a popular shop outside, hoping.

looked at Li Weidong.

"This won't work, your mother doesn't agree!" Li Weidong was stunned when he heard this request. This request was too simple. He was about to agree, but after thinking about it, he softened it.

"Dad, are you doing this? I told my mother when she sent me off this morning. My mother said you didn't agree. Now you say my mother doesn't agree. Which one of you disagrees?"

"It must be your mother who disagrees. In our family, your mother has the final say. My disagreement is based on your mother's disagreement!" When it comes to sophistry, Li Weidong will definitely not lose to his son.

"Everything you say is a lie, it's so boring!" Li Qian heard what Li Weidong said and felt that there was no hope of eating a burger. Li Qian's hopeful eyes immediately turned off, and his body collapsed when he was sitting upright. He leaned on the seat weakly.

said.

"Son, what's there to eat in this burger? It's all junk food. Eating it regularly is bad for your health!" Li Weidong didn't expect to be educated by his son.

"Dad, I remember that the last time I ate burgers, I wore long sleeves. Now I wear down jackets. I eat them once every two months, which is called regular meals? And Uncle Beancake said that their burgers are healthy, nutritious and delicious!"

Li Qian turned around and said.

The burger shop outside the window is not KFC or McDonald's, but Wallace. However, the current Wallace is not the Chinese fast food in my previous life.

Five years ago, Doubian traveled to Beijing and accidentally discovered that KFC and McDonald's were very popular. After eating it, he felt that it tasted very good, so he asked Li Weidong if he could do it too.

Li Weidong felt grateful that Doubian has been following for so long, and there is no credit but hard work, and competition with foreigners is what Li Weidong wants to see. He can't just watch these foreign fast food occupy the Chinese market and remain indifferent. If you have money, pay for it!

In this way, Doubian, with Li Weidong's support, started to open a hamburger restaurant. As for the secret recipe, it was naturally easy to come up with, and with Li Weidong's huge financial support, it was difficult to succeed.

As a result, big and well-known brands like KFC and McDonald's almost lost their domestic market. Let alone development, it is already good to maintain their current share.

As for the name Wallace, it was naturally Li Weidong's suggestion. Foreign fast food naturally had to have a foreign name that matched him. Chinese people now believe that foreign monks can chant sutras. Among the names of later generations, Li Weidong thought this one was pretty good.

After several years of development, Wallace now has thousands of chain stores in China, basically covering most large and medium-sized cities, and it continues to develop at a high speed.

Maybe it won't be long before this Chinese fast food restaurant with a foreign name can really squeeze those foreign brands out of the Chinese market. The quality is not bad, and the price is low, so there is nothing to worry about in a price war.

Li Weidong was very satisfied with his unintentional move. He didn't talk about how much money he could earn, but he felt happy that he could squeeze foreign fast food out of the country.

In a few years, thousands of chain stores have been opened, and all of them are directly operated stores. Imagine how much money you have to invest. But now that the brand has been established, the next step is to open franchise stores, and then the money will pour in.

.

"Okay, when your results come out, if it is really what you said, I will let you get your wish!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

Children should be encouraged more, and they should be encouraged with practical actions. What is the use of talking about those big principles? If they can understand, there will be no old words about young people who do not work hard but who will be sad.

"Really, it's really good!" Li Qian immediately said excitedly. Although he didn't eat it now, it is still possible.

A child's happiness is so simple. A hamburger can make you forget yourself with joy. However, an adult's happiness is too difficult to come by. Maybe owning a hamburger restaurant will make you so happy.

"Of course, dad has never said anything before. As long as you can get a hundred points, I will definitely agree!" Li Weidong said pretending to be serious.

When Li Weidong's car arrived at the street intersection, the electric isolation pile on the ground had already fallen down, and the car drove directly into the street with the "Pedestrian Street" sign without any pause.

This entire street belongs to Li Weidong's family, but this road is still a public road. In order to reduce the disturbance of vehicles, Li Weidong asked someone to apply for a permit for a pedestrian street.

Li Weidong paid for everything from door security to cleaning. Even if it was a pedestrian street, few people could enter. Mainly because of the sharp eyes of the security guard at the door, tourists didn't dare to go in.

Don't talk about privileges. The houses in the whole street belong to Li Weidong. This is the basis of privileges.

Li Weidong also thought about moving to the suburbs to save himself trouble and not waste social resources. However, the conditions here are good and he is used to the life here. Relocating is not as simple as a sentence, but a real psychological obstacle.

.

Besides, the people living in this row of houses are either Li Weidong's bodyguards or their cleaners. If they don't live here, the place will be completely empty, wouldn't it be even more wasteful?

At this time, the street was deserted, with almost no other people around. Except for a few old men and women from No. 3 Courtyard, there were no other people passing by.

So it was like this all day long, but the cleaning was spotless, except that there were a few luxury cars parked on the roadside that looked a bit eye-catching. No matter which one of these cars was put out, it would be good.

But for people like Li Weidong who don't go out much, so many cars are a bit redundant. If they weren't regularly wiped down and driven out to warm up, they might all be broken.

You can see hidden cameras in corners and other places along the car windows. The entire street is within the surveillance range. Not to mention a person coming in, not even a mouse can escape the eyes of the people in the surveillance room.

As soon as the car stopped, the person waiting at the door opened the door. Li Qian grabbed his schoolbag and said hello to the person before jumping out of the car.

As soon as Li Weidong entered the yard, he heard Li Rui's voice inside, "Brother, do you see how beautiful my new doll is?"

There is still a bit of a ringing sound in the childish voice, and if you are familiar with it, you will know that it is a cold.

She has not been to kindergarten for several days because of a cold. In her current condition, she does not need to go to school within two days, and kindergarten will be on holiday in two days.

The hobbies of the two people are obviously not on the same channel. Li Qian is not interested in toys such as these dolls at all. He has his own hobbies and toys.

"It looks good!" Li Qian took off his coat, looked up, and said in a perfunctory manner, pretending to be happy.

Naturally, this perfunctory tone cannot be concealed from his sister, who has been fighting with him for several years. The fight between the brother and sister has been going on since they were one year old, and will continue.

"Why don't I think it looks good? Where does it look good?" Li Rui asked sincerely in a childish voice.

Li Weidong listened with a headache outside the door. His daughter was obviously a little clever. Although his son was not stupid, he usually suffered at a disadvantage against this sister.

The age difference between the two is only one and a half years. They have fought a lot when they were young to earn toys and supplies. Even if they have the same thing, they can always tell the difference. As long as it is not their own, it is good.

Although adults have no partiality, they will naturally take care of the younger ones in their behavior. Over time, they will naturally develop this clever habit.

"Li Rui, are you obedient at home?" Li Weidong opened the door and came in to relieve his son.

"Dad, you are back. I have been reading picture books at home, but you are obedient. If you don't believe me, ask Aunt Dai?" Li Rui said happily when he saw Li Weidong come in.

Dai Mei, who was standing next to her, took the coat that Li Weidong took off and hung it on the hanger. She did not take the initiative to prove it to Li Rui, and Li Weidong just asked casually.

Dai Mei couldn't take the initiative to answer, otherwise she would lose her duty. They were father and daughter, so they still had the trust they should have, so naturally they couldn't really ask for confirmation.

Li Rui felt relieved when Li Weidong didn't ask and Dai Mei didn't say anything. In fact, she had been playing on the computer while Li Weidong was out.

"Dad, I've finished the exam today, can you play on the computer for a while?" Li Qian glanced at his sister and said, not knowing whether he meant to expose it or if he really wanted to play on the computer.

"Okay, let's go play, but don't play for too long, or your mother will have to scold you when she comes back!" Li Weidong's way of educating his children has always been a free-range approach, and computers will be so popular in the future that there is no way to stop them.

Those who live can only guide.

The brother and sister happily ran to the study room and started playing on the computer. At this time, there were not many games on computers, especially those suitable for children.

The Kingsoft typing game Whack-A-Mole and Catch Frogs can be a great time for brothers and sisters. It is highly interesting, educational and free. It has been widely accepted since its launch.

Li Weidong looked at the familiar interface. In his previous life, he also got started with this kind of game. However, in this life, this game has advanced a lot. He is naturally responsible for this.

During the most difficult period of Jinshan, Rebus was almost depressed and even begged his boss to sell his villa to pay wages to his employees. Li Weidong took the initiative to invest money to feed him, which was a natural help in times of need.

With Li Weidong's blessing, Kingsoft's take-off naturally accelerated, and a new generation of software was soon launched. For this reason, it was at loggerheads with Microsoft.

Microsoft even hesitated to relax supervision on piracy, but Kingsoft was the first to make it free. Li Weidong naturally knew that free was the future of the Internet.

Li Weidong thought that in a few years, he would have a listed company with a market value of tens of billions, and the most important thing was that Rebus would be his subordinate in the future. He felt very satisfied in his heart, and naturally he was happy to teach the two children how to play.

.

When it was completely dark, Liu Jinhui came back from get off work. When the brother and sister heard the noise, they immediately hid from the computer desk. After years of experience, they had already concluded who had the final say in the family.

Sorry everyone, I've been on hiatus for so many days. The New Year is over and I'm going to resume.
