Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 428 Looking for trouble

As soon as Li Weidong finished speaking, the crowd fell silent for a moment, as if they were afraid that his breathing method was wrong and Li Weidong would find a reason to criticize him.

This is just like a student facing an angry teacher who is afraid of being discovered by the teacher, and even silently says in his heart, "You can't see me, you can't see me!"

Li Weidong did not pause for too long, but said with a smile: "I have been in business for ten years, and I have known you for many years. We are very familiar with each other, especially Lao Song. The first extra money I made was from him.

I took it from my hand!"

"If you look at it from this point of view, Lao Song can be regarded as the leader of my business. Otherwise, I might still be nesting in the machinery factory. I have to thank Mr. Song for this. Thank you, Lao Song!" Li Weidong faced Song Guofeng in the crowd.

shouted.

"Chairman, you are telling me the opposite. It was you who led me to do business, and it was you who showed me what big business is!" Song Guofeng bowed and said jokingly.

Song Guofeng didn't dare to take credit. If it weren't for Li Weidong, maybe he could have done well, but if he was good, he would probably only be a small rich man.

What kind of life are we living now? In Qizhou, there are countless celebrities and wealthy people. Even his retired father comes to visit him from his former employer during holidays.

This shows that his success has benefited his family!

And in front of so many people, Li Weidong said this to flatter him and to give him face. This was also to give face to the people who came from their machinery factory!

Li Weidong waved his hand and continued: "After so many years, everyone knows my character. I don't play with nonsense and seek truth from facts. If we have a discussion, I won't be polite!"

Someone in the crowd said, "Chairman, you say it, we are all listening!"

Li Weidong relaxed for a moment, trying to find an entry point, and then said with a smile: "In the past few days, I have met many comrades. Due to time constraints, the conversations were not very deep. Some issues may not have been thoroughly discussed, but we will talk about it later.

There’s plenty of time!”

"I have a straight character and don't have so many twists and turns. I may not take care of the face of my comrades. I hope you don't mind. It may make you more embarrassed after a while!"

Everyone felt that he was serious, and no longer dared to smile playfully. They became serious. They all opened their notebooks and started taking notes.

Regardless of whether you can train yourself or not, at least your attitude must be corrected, otherwise it will be an attitude problem, and attitude problems are often the most serious problems!

Usually when leaders say, pay attention to your attitude, they are probably going to mess with you!

Li Weidong was still very satisfied with the attitude of the people below. He nodded and said: "We are all our own people, and there is no point in saying those kind words, so I don't plan to talk about the results, only the problems!"

"To be honest, who doesn't know how to brag about yourself? I can also say that it is nothing more than how much output you have done this year, how many jobs you have created, and how much you have contributed to society. What's the point of saying this?"

"These things are for outsiders to see, they are of no interest to the inside, and they are kept there whether you mention them or not. If you have the time to count these things, why not go and see if there are any shortcomings!"

"There is a problem now, and it needs to be corrected. At the end of the year, you will send the work report, and the secretary will bring it to me, a thick pile!" Li Weidong gestured and said.

"I picked it up and took a look, my dear, there are more than ten pages of work summary, several pages of results, and two or three lines of questions, but they are all insignificant!"

"I think this is very bad and is not conducive to the continued development of our business, so today I don't want to talk about the achievements, just the shortcomings!" Li Weidong said while tilting the table.

"Of course I don't say it, it doesn't mean it's bad. I just said it, I am very satisfied with last year's work, and most of the goals have been completed!" Li Weidong felt that he might be a little harsh, and said with a smile.

"After preliminary calculations, the company's average profit has increased by more than 30%. This does not include foreign companies. I haven't seen the foreign data, but according to the news I have received, it is not bad!"

"And in order to encourage everyone to continue working hard, the company has carefully considered that this year's year-end bonus will be 30% higher than last year!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

Everyone was in a better mood and applauded. It turns out that nothing is more exciting than money!

"Mr. Xu, this matter will be completed today. You apply and I sign. The money must be distributed to the employees before the Spring Festival!" Li Weidong said to Xu Dehai next to him.

"Okay Chairman!" Xu Dehai nodded and replied. This matter was entirely a temporary decision made by Li Weidong. Where did the company consider it? Anyway, it was never disclosed to him.

A profit increase of 30% may seem like a lot, but some companies had very low profits last year and can achieve this increase with just a little profit.

If the year-end bonus increases by 30%, it is very likely that all these profits will be eaten up, and maybe a little more supplement will be enough!

If a company that was originally profitable is going to lose money again, does it count as turning profits into losses?

But in front of so many people, Xu Dehai didn't dare to say anything or ask anything. This was all Li Weidong's money. Even if it wasn't a wholly-owned company, he was still the major shareholder!

Who can say anything?

Who dares to say anything?

Aren't you worried that your employees will eat you?

After everyone was happy, Li Weidong picked up a piece of paper on the table and said: "Boss, I have a piece of data in my hand, I will read it to everyone!"

Li Weidong cleared his throat and read: "Last year, 2,378 people were fired for violating laws or regulations, of which 893 were sent to the judicial authorities!"

Li Weidong's voice stopped, and the people below looked at each other. They had never known that there was such a data. Of course, no one would doubt the authenticity of this number.

Li Weidong disdains doing such sensational things!

Li Weidong put down the paper and said sternly: "When you embezzle public funds and accept gifts from suppliers, does it mean that the salary offered by the company is not high?"

"However, there are more than 200 people here with an annual salary of more than 200,000 yuan. How to explain this? Comrades, 200,000 yuan can buy a nice house in Qizhou, which is enough to live a well-off life!"

"I have read the information about these people. They all have bad personal ethics. The red flags at home are not down, but the colorful flags are flying outside. They use money to make others happy. When they go in, they have to ask their families to make up for the lost money!"

"If you really had some difficulties at home and had nothing to do, so you did this, how could I still sympathize with you, respect you as a man, and even avoid being held accountable? What do you think is going on now?"

"I don't know if there are people like this sitting here. Of course your salary is high. Let alone one of you, you can even hold up the seven kinds of colorful flags "red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple"!

Li Weidong's eyes looked around. It was too far away to see clearly, but he was sure that there was definitely someone with a guilty conscience here.

After Li Weidong looked around, he continued: "If there is this problem, I hope you can step back from the cliff and be responsible for your family and the company. No, of course it is best. The law is the bottom line. I hope everyone will not touch this bottom line!"

Li Weidong lit a cigarette, took a puff and continued: "The second issue is a disciplinary issue, but it is an internal disciplinary issue and the law cannot control it!"

"It is precisely because the law has no control over it that I have to emphasize it. Otherwise, I will send you directly to prison to reflect. Who has the time to waste words with you!"

"And this question is mainly aimed at everyone here!" Li Weidong took a puff of cigarette and put the cigarette butt in the ashtray.

"An organization must have discipline, otherwise it will never last long, and the same is true for companies. We operate in the form of a company, and naturally there are shareholders and controlling shareholders!"

"A parent company can't handle the documents issued by its subsidiaries, and it goes against the rules. Can any of you explain to me why?" Li Weidong said in a deep voice.

Everyone dare not speak, especially the elders, how often they have this problem!

"What's wrong? Now that you know silence is golden, you still don't bother to explain to me?" After a while, Li Weidong asked in a deep voice.

"You are the chairman of the board, the general manager, and you even own some shares. You have a high and powerful position, but you were also appointed by the shareholders' meeting. Please remember your responsibilities!"

"The company will not issue you a document for no reason and ask you to implement it. These documents have been discussed and approved by experts from various committees and have also been investigated in practice. They are beneficial to the development of the company and are beneficial to them.

It will be sent to you!”

"And the documents sent to you are all approved by me. You can put forward different opinions and report them to me, but if you shelve them, you will lose your job responsibilities!"

This is a bit serious. If you don’t implement these documents, you are opposing him, Li Weidong!

Li Weidong paused for a moment and continued: "If you think you are very capable and don't like these things, please tell me so that we can get together and part ways!"

The people below were silent. Li Weidong said it nicely, what does it mean to get together and break up easily? As long as the group breaks up, there will be no good things. Are you living an uncomfortable life now?

"Another possibility is that it doesn't have much to do with you, but it does have something to do with the companies you invest in, and this matter also has something to do with me!"

"The company's investment direction is not fixed. The pancake stall is very big. There are companies in all walks of life, and even the major industry classification of Wanguo Securities. There are more than 20 in total. We have almost everything. We even have farms. We

The rice at home is said to be produced on our own farm!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

"However, there are problems that still need to be solved. Some companies with weak growth and poor financial conditions still need to be dealt with!" Li Weidong changed the subject and said.

"I said that the investment period can be extended, and there may be reasonable answers to many things, but some industries have reached the end of the road, so please let it go!"

"Although there will be some social problems, first of all we are a business, not a charity. It will not do any good if we continue like this. In the end, society must solve it!"

"Mr. Zheng, there are many companies like this under the name of Jingwei Investment. I hope you can solve it properly and accumulate some experience. I think there will be more and more such things in the future!"

"Okay, Chairman, we have hired some experts to find the best way to solve this problem!" Zheng Sijing said, touching his somewhat sparse head.

Jingwei Investment invests in too many companies, which are too complex. Especially when it first entered the country, almost all types of companies invested.

You can invest in a company with hundreds of thousands of dollars, and you will own a lot of shares. Naturally, you invest with your eyes closed. It is not surprising that such a result occurs.

There are also many successful companies among these companies. After all, in the 1990s, as long as you dared to do something, your chances of success were quite high. The fact that Jingwei Investment holds shares in dozens of listed companies is good evidence.

But for venture capital, the probability of failure is greater than the probability of success. In fact, they discovered this problem only a few years after investing.

Companies go bankrupt almost every year, and some even have their bosses take the money and run away with their sister-in-law. Jingwei Investment has nothing to do. You can’t become a bounty hunter just for hundreds of thousands of dollars!

I can only comfort myself that investment has risks, and venture capital has even greater risks.

However, it is very troublesome for some companies that end up becoming major shareholders because of excessive investment. What was originally a financial investment ended up being an equity investment, and they passively became the actual controller.

If the company goes bankrupt, you have to consider the risks!

Li Weidong turned around and continued: "On the contrary, some companies are growing too fast. I don't know if this is your industry model or if it's just a few people who are overjoyed!"

"Unlimited expansion, unlimited increase in asset-liability ratio. Some entities can reach a debt ratio of 90%. Do you think you are opening a bank?"

"Some companies use different methods to split project funds in order to avoid the company's regulatory approval. Do they think that if I, Li Weidong, are rich, I will definitely increase capital when the capital chain is broken?"

"Of course, I will not watch the company's capital chain break. I will replace all of you managers before that happens!" Li Weidong said murderously.

Someone below is acting unnaturally, and it seems that he is speaking from the bottom of his heart!

"Last point, let me just say one more thing. It's just a suggestion. Just listen to it!" Li Weidong hesitated and said.

"I recently received an invitation from a college classmate of mine, representing my alma mater, who wanted me to go back and tell the students how to succeed!"

"I was very happy at first. When I graduated from college, I wanted to stay in school and become a teacher, but unfortunately I didn't succeed. I didn't expect that ten years after graduation, I would still be able to stand on the podium of my alma mater!"

"But I had a dream that night. I dreamed that someone threw shoes at me while I was giving a lecture. I woke up immediately, mainly because the person's shoes were so smelly!" Li Weidong looked disgusted.

Everyone laughed, and some people shouted, "The chairman has many things to do every day and takes time to give lectures to them. This is the good deeds of their ancestors. Who dares to throw shoes!"

Li Weidong waved his hand and ignored the speaker, but said lightly: "Later, I thought about it for a few days, but I still didn't give face to my classmates. I found that there was nothing to say!"
