Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 414 Decentralization

After Li Weidong sat down, he held the armrest and leaned on the back of the chair, raised his head, let his neck rest comfortably on the arc along the back of the chair, and twisted it. This feeling was very satisfying.

"Well, this tea is not bad!" Li Weidong moved his neck, picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip, nodded and said.

"They are all high-end products, they cannot be compared with the ones at your home!" Guo Huai smiled and said modestly, but he was still a little complacent in his heart. It is not easy to get a compliment from Li Weidong.

"It's good, it's good. There's no need to be so modest. Decorating this floor into a tea room is a good idea and a thoughtful one!" Li Weidong waved his hand and said.

He is not so bloated that he can only listen to flattery, and Li Weidong never thinks that his experience that is many years ahead of his time can make him smarter than others.

He just knew the consequences. If Li Weidong did it, he might not be as good as them.

Therefore, Li Weidong has always regarded himself as a small person and maintained a humble and prudent attitude. If his determination wavers even a little bit, these subordinates will be blown away by the bragging.

After a long time, Li Weidong probably really thought that he was as wise and powerful as they boasted, and lacked awe.

Such people will have problems sooner or later.

This is also the reason why Li Weidong often stays at home. Asking himself, Li Weidong does not feel that he has the determination to face the wealth he has created.

Human nature cannot stand the test!

It's better to stick to your wife. If you really wander outside every day, you will get stabbed sooner or later!

As for the flowers and plants that want to pounce on him, Li Weidong guesses that he can't hold back. When he sees a beautiful woman, he just wants to take a second look!

Even if he goes out occasionally, someone will hint to Li Weidong intentionally or unintentionally whether he needs to relax.

After all, in this era of liberating the mind and not being so rich in spiritual civilization, it is not unusual to occasionally have a big sword, and the market is relatively large, and it is full of entertainment at night.

"I don't dare to take credit for this. When we first renovated it, it was Chen Lu who proposed to renovate the first floor of the restaurant into a tea room. I didn't expect that there were so many guests!"

When Guo Huai heard Li Weidong's praise, he originally wanted to accept it. Although it was Chen Lu's suggestion, the decision was made by him, and he had no problem taking the credit.

But thinking about what I was thinking about this afternoon, I pushed Chen Lu out with a smile, and this would also leave an impression on Li Weidong that he is not a person who takes credit.

The entire building has 46 floors and 400 guest rooms, of which 10 floors are for dining. Unlike other Four Seasons hotels, this is a large hotel with a relatively complete range of cuisines.

Each of the eight major cuisines has a complete lineup of chefs, each with a head chef in charge. Basically, any cuisine you want to eat is available here, which can meet the needs of different customers.

This is also the reason why this hotel is so popular. The first five-star hotel is high-end. Nowadays, when inviting people to dinner, the most important thing is to prepare the noodles. Whichever price is more expensive, of course, the dishes must be good and complete.

Invite a Shanghainese to eat Hunan cuisine. You are not partners, you are enemies, and your resentment is not light!

Chen Lu is from Hong Kong Island and has a strong interest in drinking tea. Qizhou has always had the habit of making tea with spring water. It is not far from Qizhou's famous springs, and making tea in famous springs is also a major feature.

In fact, drinking tea is more expensive and more profitable than drinking alcohol!

And talking about things over tea is often more successful than drinking.

You should take your words seriously when you drink, you are so naive, and alcohol numbs the nerves, making people unable to speak clearly. Even if you make a promise, it will be difficult to implement it.

Drinking tea is much better. To drink tea, you have to understand tea. People who understand tea are generally not ordinary people, and the things they talk about are not too small.

And this also provides a need to create an elegant atmosphere. Some people love this, and they don't necessarily have to spend their own money.

Just like drinking, you don’t drink wine that costs money, and you don’t drink wine that costs money. The same goes for drinking tea.

"Chen Lu? Oh, she is a person with ideas, not bad!" Li Weidong remembered this person. When she was the manager of the head office, Li Weidong went there often and saw her more often.

"A few years ago, we opened up the southern market and asked her to take charge of it for a period of time. The results were pretty good. She was transferred back as the regional manager the year before last and she did a good job!"

"Yes, now they are all regional managers. If you train them well, they will be valuable assets for the company!" Li Weidong was not very interested in Chen Lu's position and did not care about it.

With so many companies under his name, if he had to take care of and be responsible for the people below him, what would be the point of asking Guo Huai and the others, and they would be exhausted long ago.

I know Chen Lu purely because she is pretty, and also because she was so common in the past!

"Chairman, I want to report something to you, can you see if it can be done?" Guo Huai did not expect that Li Weidong answered his words so perfectly that he did not need to choose another day to report again.

"When did you become so shy?" Li Weidong looked at Guo Huai, a little curious. The name changed must be business, but he hadn't even had two sips of tea, and it seemed a little too fast.

"Chairman, I want to add a vice president to help me share some daily work, so that I can recharge my batteries!" Guo Huai looked at Li Weidong and said carefully.

"Do you want to recommend Chen Lu?" Li Weidong immediately understood why Guo Huai mentioned Chen Lu for no reason. He was waiting here!

"I think Chen Lu has good abilities. She is from Hong Kong Island and has rich experience in both grassroots and leadership roles!" Guo Huai did not dare to hide it, otherwise it might be self-defeating.

After saying that, he bowed his head and stopped talking. According to regulations, he, the chairman, has the power to appoint the vice president, but Li Weidong has the final say in the appointment and removal of him, the chairman.

In fact, the company's board of directors is just a decoration, just a product to improve the company's system. There is only one person who really has the final say, Li Weidong.

This is true for many companies under Li Weidong's name, especially the companies where those who started their businesses with Li Weidong work.

Li Weidong drank the tea in the cup in one gulp. The temperature was just right, and the feedback of the tea on the tip of his tongue was very rich. It was really a good tea, but Li Weidong did not taste it carefully at this time.

Li Weidong leaned back on the chair again, closed his eyes and said nothing. He was not wondering whether Chen Lu was suitable to be the vice president, but wanted to know why Guo Huai recommended Chen Lu to be the vice president.

Chen Gu, Huo Rui, Cheng Kui, Zhou Shuangxi, Liu Dachun, and Doubian glanced at Guo Huai and bowed their heads in silence, but they were a little dissatisfied with Guo Huai in their hearts.

In such a good time, you shouldn't talk about romantic affairs to make the boss happy. I want to report on the work and ask for instructions on important matters. Don't you still have time tomorrow?

The key is to silence Li Weidong. This is a big deal. Originally, they were a little jealous of Li Weidong, but now they are as honest as rabbits.

"There are four vice presidents now. I remember one of them was poached from the position of general manager of Nanjiao Hotel!" Li Weidong said softly without opening his eyes.

"Vice President Yao and Xin joined the company after resigning from Nanjiao Hotel in 1997!" Guo Huai didn't know what Li Weidong meant.

"The others seem to be recruited from various hotels. Do you feel the pressure?" Li Weidong asked thoughtfully, and he seemed to have found the crux.

"No, Mr. Yao and the other vice presidents are very active in their work!" Guo Huai said quickly with sweat on his head.

"It's good to work hard. It's good to add a vice president. It's just more salary. We don't lack this money. Please write an application!" Li Weidong said seemingly calmly.

There is some infighting among the company's employees, and Li Weidong is happy to see the results. If there is infighting, it means that there is dissatisfaction in the heart that needs to be expressed, that is, employees who have demands will be promoted.

How can he be motivated if he eats fast and chants Buddha's name all day long without any desire or request? Li Weidong runs a company and lets others make money for him, not to provide for his retirement.

As long as it is not internal fighting for the sake of internal fighting, a little competition is very necessary, but Li Weidong is a little disappointed with Guo Huai.

Guo Huai, with his authority as chairman and general manager, cannot deal with a vice president, which shows that a good cook is not necessarily a good boss, and it is more important to implement his plan.

It makes sense if you think about it. This Yao Hexin is definitely not an ordinary person. He was able to become the general manager of a hotel in the southern suburbs at the age of less than 40, which shows that he has a high emotional intelligence.

And he was able to resign from his position as the general manager of a hotel in the southern suburbs, which shows that this person understands in his heart that he is not an ordinary person.

He used to be the general manager, but now he is the vice president, and the general manager seems to be a bit strong on the outside, but he must be unhappy in his heart.

If you are not happy, you have to express yourself and show off, and by doing so, you may not fail to prove your ability. If your ability is fully demonstrated, might you still have a chance?

Now Guo Huai seems to be a little weak and wants to take advantage of Li Weidong's situation. It's not a bad idea to support him for a while, and Chen Lu is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Thank you, Chairman!" Guo Huai said happily, but he was still a little trembling in his heart. Li Weidong's words always sounded wrong, and asking Yao and Xin Geng made him uneasy.

"We are not outsiders and have known each other for a long time. You have helped me a lot over the years. I will keep this in mind!" Li Weidong waved his hand and continued.

"It's you who support us. Without you, there would be no us!" Chen Gu said quickly. He seemed to notice something was different. He glanced at Guo Huai, feeling really hateful in his heart.

What does this mean? Generally speaking, when you say you are not an outsider, most of what you want to express is that you are an outsider.

We’ve known each other for quite some time, so that means I’m familiar with your little thoughts, so don’t be mean!

Thank you for helping me a lot, but you also got more. In fact, I helped you.

I have kept these in my heart, but what has been kept in my heart? Is it affection or dedication?

Chen Gu was afraid that Li Weidong would say something else. Although the two of them were in the same spirit, fighting against Li Weidong would mean nothing?

"We are our own people, so I won't say any polite words. I've been having an idea lately, but I just didn't think it was the right time, so I didn't mention it to you. I just took this opportunity to chat!"

"Your companies are now very large. I have seen your financial reports for this year. The total assets range from a few hundred million to several billion!"

"But there is a problem. For such a large company, you are basically the chairman and general manager. This is very unreasonable and reduces the functions of the board of directors!"

"I want you to give full play to the true functions of the board of directors and stop scratching your eyebrows and beards!"

Li Weidong's words were quite tactless. This is a naked division of power, dividing the power in the hands of these people!

Several people suddenly looked up at Li Weidong, which was beyond their expectation.

"Brother, I listen to you!" Doubiang hesitated for two seconds and said first. He is the youngest here, has the lowest status, and was the last to start his career. It would be inappropriate for him to say this.

But Doubiang still said it, and he supported it unconditionally. It was important to be the first to express his stance, and because of the circumstances, he had no right to disagree.

No matter which of the companies they manage, Li Weidong is of course the major shareholder. Even in IKEA, where the shares are the most dispersed, Li Weidong's shares exceed the absolute number.

Doubian also knew that these brothers would definitely be angry after he said this, but compared to them, the most important thing is that Li Weidong is not angry.

"Brother, I also listen to you!" After hearing Dao Doubian's statement, the other people glanced at him and said quickly.

"Well, this matter is settled. After the year, the company will issue documents, not just you, but all similar companies will do the same!" Li Weidong said.

Li Weidong explained something, which was a comfort to a few people.

"To be honest, I have noticed your hard work in the past few years. I see that some of you are studying for self-study undergraduate courses, and some of you have already obtained your undergraduate diploma!"

"This is good, but it shouldn't be a formality. Don't study for the certificate, and don't study for the certificate. You should study whatever is useful, including management and economics!"

Li Weidong took out a cigarette, and Chen Gu next to him helped light it, and then several people humbly lit the cigarette.

"In short, you need to study in a targeted manner and improve your abilities. When we met, I told you that you should study more and read more newspapers. I wonder if you still have this habit!"

"When doing business in our country, if you don't read the newspapers, study the guidance documents, and understand the intentions, you will definitely not be able to do business well!" Li Weidong exhaled a puff of smoke and said.

"If that time comes, everyone will return to the bridge and pass by. I hope you won't blame me!" Li Weidong still said harsh words. The team is so big that it will be difficult to carry a bowl of water evenly.

Although they knew that Li Weidong's chat would not be simple, they did not expect that not only would they take back the power, but they would also be vaccinated!

"We have always read newspapers, from top to bottom, and often invite experts to give us lectures and interpret some documents!" Chen Gu said quickly with a smile.

It would be even more embarrassing if it was cold!

Chen Gu didn't lie. Their real estate business was sensitive to the relevant documents issued by the superiors.

Many companies will suddenly rise because of a document, and many companies will disappear because of a document. And the reason why their companies can rise so quickly is because they are in front of the document.
