Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 429 Take a Gamble

When everyone heard what Li Weidong said, their eyes were stunned. What kind of saucy operation is this? If you have nothing to tell, your story can be regarded as a fantasy novel.

Li Weidong looked at everyone's expressions and said: "I know, you may say, you Li Weidong have so much money now, talk about your experience of making money, there will definitely be many wonderful things, these are precious wealth, why can't you

What are you talking about?"

Li Weidong spread his hands and continued: "Okay, I'll tell you how I make money, but I thought about it for a long time. It seems that apart from taking it as a joke, what else can they get? If they really try to imitate it, I'm afraid there will be another issue.

Some questions!”

His path to wealth cannot be imitated by others. He can 100% find the outlet of the wind, then find the pig, ride on it, wait for the wind to rise, and fly with him. But who else but him!

Not only can't I imitate it, but I'm afraid I'll have to fall from the sky and die!

Li Weidong said in a low tone: "So I can't harm my fellow students, otherwise I may add a few blood debts out of thin air and I won't be able to repay them even if I want to!"

Li Weidong glanced at everyone, and then continued: "But I heard that you are busier than me. You are not even satisfied with giving lectures. Some people have even written books to leave their names in history and tell others how they succeeded.

, saying that success can be copied!”

"After all, he is a person whose name is on the rich list. He has a lot of traffic and is very popular. It is said that his books are selling well. He also holds book signings and earns more royalties than his salary!"

Li Weidong's tone was obviously joking, but his expression was completely different, and he quickly became serious.

Some of the more than 20 CEOs sitting below may not have high academic qualifications, but if they can continue to work in this position, they are undoubtedly well-versed in people and the world and have extremely high emotional intelligence.

He had already seen what Li Weidong wanted to say. Some comrades who were usually high-profile, loved giving lectures, and writing inspirational chicken soup, had already turned red and started to feel embarrassed.

Although he had seen changes in the faces of several people, Li Weidong had no intention of stopping. He took a sip of water, moistened his throat and continued his speech.

"I advise you to stop writing these useless and even harmful poisonous chicken soups, and don't think that just by writing a book, you can become a spiritual mentor and leave your name in history!"

"Actually, it's not difficult to become famous. The difficulty lies in not being able to maintain a stable personality. Maybe even if the reputation is left behind, it will be infamous for thousands of years!"

"Don't be so anxious to make final conclusions. Just because you can occupy a place on the mainland's rich list now doesn't mean you can in the future!"

"If one day your character breaks down, and the higher you stand, the worse you will fall. The shabby book you wrote with your face printed on it will be considered too hard if others use it to wipe their butts, and it will be flushed away in the toilet!

"

What Li Weidong said was a bit mean, but no one dared to show disgust!

"Raise your hands and let me see who is on the rich list?" Li Weidong also noticed that he was a little mean and asked with a forced smile.

Some people smiled, but no one raised their hands. Although they didn't raise their hands, everyone knew who was on the rich list.

Li Weidong didn't want them to actually raise their hands, and they were not elementary school students. "I would like to advise you again, don't take the rich list too seriously, it's useless!"

Everyone's expressions changed and became a little playful, including those who were smiling just now and wanted to raise their hands but were embarrassed.

In today's China, who can say such domineering words, only I, Chairman Li!

Li Weidong naturally knew what their expressions meant, and continued: "Looking at your expressions, you seem to be a little unconvinced. How about we make a bet?"

"Let's bet on how many people will still be on this rich list in ten years. I bet that 80% will disappear. Do you dare to bet?"

As for what to bet on, Li Weidong didn't mention it. Besides, gambling doesn't necessarily have to be about something.

Sometimes it makes more sense not to bet on anything. I bet you don’t dare?

If you are a man, you must take a gamble, and you must prove that you dare and that your idea is correct.

But this time Li Weidong miscalculated. Although these people didn't believe it, no one bet with him, which made him a little disappointed. This was a bet that was sure to make money!

However, no one bet with him, which to a certain extent meant that Li Weidong had already won, so he said arrogantly: "You guys are wise!"

Li Weidong stretched out his fingers and tapped on the table and said: "But today I will put it here. Ten years from now, let's see how many old faces there are!"

At this time, Li Weidong was in the early stages of starting his own business in his previous life. At that time, he was drooling over a newspaper, thinking about when he would become famous.

He has studied all the rich people there to see what they do, and he has followed suit. The sage teaches us to learn from others when we see them!

But this list has always existed, but the names in it have kept changing. In the end, fewer and fewer people can stay on the list.

Now the richest man in Handong, Mr. Wu of Sanzhu, is still at the top. However, a few years later, his business plummeted due to sales problems, and his name has never appeared on this list since.

Nowadays, the best role models among celebrities are also on this list, and they will be in jail in two years, which makes celebrities take the issue of paying taxes seriously for many years.

As for forgetting it later, that’s another story!

In short, the vast majority of people will do it for various reasons, and the pig heads who have occupied the rankings for a long time ten years later are still waiting for success.

Of course, because of Li Weidong, many names that should have appeared in history have disappeared, but they are not completely gone, but dormant, waiting for the wind to blow.

"And if there are no 2 billion or 3 billion in the future, if you want to enter this list, you can't even touch the threshold!" Li Weidong said in a gentle voice.

There are even fewer people writing this time. If you say there will be fewer old faces, they reluctantly believe it. If you say it costs two to three billion to touch this threshold, many people will shake their heads!

If you really treat it as a ghost currency, you still have 2 to 3 billion, and now 50 to 60 million can be included in the list. How much does money have to depreciate before this is possible?

"How about we take another gamble and I'll be the banker today and pay ten to one?" Li Weidong looked at everyone's disbelief and said bewilderedly.

Everyone couldn't hold it in anymore, but they just laughed. Who would take a gamble with the boss?

"Hey, it's so boring!" Li Weidong felt uncomfortable if he didn't take a gamble today.

"Brother, I believe you. I'll bet you a hundred dollars to win!" Doubiang jumped out at this time and wanted to take the money out of his pocket. Unfortunately, he couldn't find his wallet, but he still said excitedly.

"Bet I win? It's only 100 yuan, it's okay, and you pay 0.50 per dollar!" Li Weidong couldn't bear to see someone betting. Although he bet on himself, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are.

"Well, I'll bet another 10,000 yuan on you to lose!" Doubiang said in a low voice, looking so obscene and funny, but he was just here to be funny.

For others, it may be embarrassing to win or lose, but he is different. He is very familiar with Li Weidong's family, and it is good to win Li Weidong's money, but what will happen if he loses.

"Well, that's good. I finally got someone who gave me money. If anyone else follows me, I'll buy it and let it go. The lottery will be drawn ten years later and I'll pay ten for each one. There's no shop like this after passing this village!" Li Weidong started to yell.

Ten times seems like a lot, but it doesn't seem to be very cost-effective in ten years. With the speed at which Li Weidong makes money, it will have to be dozens of times in the next ten years.

But someone took the lead, and those who joined in the fun came and started placing bets one after another. It was so lively that some people were dumbfounded.

But as long as the boss is happy!

"Okay, Dongshuo will collect gambling money from these bidders in a while. No one can run away, and I will give you 20% at that time!" Li Weidong saw that everyone was almost enthusiastic, and said to Zhang Dongshuo next to him.

Zhang Dongshuo was a little speechless. He just gave him 20%, and it was no problem to share the dividend. As long as he was not asked to pay the compensation, he couldn't afford it!

Raising his hand and looking at his watch, Li Weidong said: "That's it. I would like to share my last words with you all, keep your feet on the ground and have a clear conscience!"

Having a clear conscience has become part of the company's corporate culture. Whoever sends Li Weidong these words is so awesome, everyone has to think about it.

After the boss finished speaking, everyone began to applaud again. When Li Weidong walked out of the room, the applause inside had not stopped.

After leaving the door, Li Weidong asked casually, "Is everyone here?"

Today's meeting is of a relatively high level, equivalent to a presidium meeting. Not many people can participate, but tomorrow is the year-end meeting.

Under Li Weidong's name, company executives of companies that have reached a certain scale, including vice presidents, are here to participate, so many people will come to Qizhou today.

"It's almost there. There are still some people who will be a little later due to flight delays or train delays, but they have all called and they will definitely arrive tonight!"

Zhang Dongshuo followed behind and reported in a low voice that there were quite a lot of people coming. He was the receptionist and had a lot to worry about.

After Li Weidong heard this, he smiled and said: "You have worked hard, but you still can't relax. Don't make any mistakes. When this matter is over, I will give you an annual leave in advance and take your wife and children back to Hong Kong Island to celebrate the New Year!"

Zhang Dongshuo married a teacher from Handong Normal University a few years ago. Not only did he marry a mainland wife, he even had his registered residence in Qizhou.

This surprised and pleased Li Weidong at the time. He deeply admired his subtle ability. His insistence on not immigrating has already won the admiration of many people.

Now, not only do we not immigrate, but we also influence the people around us to immigrate in the opposite direction. Is this a different kind of role model?

If this situation were to happen twenty years later, with Zhang Dongshuo's academic qualifications, it would be appropriate to introduce high-level talents, and he would definitely be given money, housing, and a wife.

But that’s not possible now. Not only does this policy not exist, but the review is also very strict. After going back and forth several times, I finally found the superior leader!

In the end, I came up with a funny reason. It was a case of moving in with my spouse, so I got it done. Zhang Dongshuo suddenly became his son-in-law.

Within two years of getting married, I gave birth to a daughter. She is a true second-generation immigrant. Except that her ancestral home is Hong Kong Island, she is a native of Qizhou.

The couple's work is good, most of the worries in life have been eliminated, and the family is happy. Whenever he mentions his family and children, Zhang Dongshuo always smiles on his face. He smiled even more when Li Weidong said this.

However, the smile is still a little forced. It would be nice to take a vacation, but that is not realistic.

He is now not only Li Weidong's secretary, but also the director of the company's office, with a large and complex workload.

Although Li Weidong said he would be given a holiday, he did not say that the work at hand could be stopped. Not only could it not be stopped, but it could not be delayed at all.

Even if he really stays at home, the phone calls will come and go without stopping at all. Of course, he can also turn off the phone, but he may not have to go to work the next day!

"Thank you, Chairman, but I don't have to go back to Hong Kong Island this year. My parents came to Qizhou from Hong Kong Island a few days ago, and we plan to celebrate the New Year in Qizhou this year!" Zhang Dongshuo said with a smile.

Li Weidong was stunned for a moment and said: "Really, I haven't said anything about this, so it's even more important to take a few days off and accompany the old man to see Qizhou's winter and Qizhou's snow scene!"

"Thank you, Chairman. I took them to many tourist attractions last weekend. My parents are very happy!" Zhang Dongshuo continued.

"Well, that's good, let's keep warm when it's cold, and say hello to the old man and aunt for me!" Li Weidong nodded, then said a word of concern with a smile.

Li Weidong definitely cannot visit his subordinates' parents unless they are sick and hospitalized. In order to show that he cares about his subordinates, he will visit them in person.

"I would like to thank the chairman for his concern on behalf of my parents!" Zhang Dongshuo said happily. If he could get Li Weidong's words, his overtime work would be worthwhile.

Li Weidong ordered the four vice presidents again: "I will not attend the banquet tonight. You make good arrangements and entertain them for me. They have come all the way!"

The banquet in the evening was held at the Four Seasons Hotel, and a whole floor was reserved in order to arrange these people. With so many people, all of whom had certain identities, one can imagine the pressure on Zhang Dongshuo.

"Chairman, don't worry, we will definitely entertain them!" Xu Dehai said without any surprise. This is not the first year Li Weidong has been like this. They are already familiar with each other.

In fact, this banquet is not entirely because Li Weidong does not want to participate, but if he participates, everyone will definitely be more restrained and unable to let go, and the meaning of the banquet will be lost.

Without him, there was no taboo between them, so things went smoothly. In the past, Li Weidong would attend and say a few words of welcome before leaving. This year, he simply didn't show up.

In fact, there is another consideration. In the presidium meeting held today, Li Weidong said very strong and severe words.

If I had two more glasses of wine with these people at night, I'm afraid these bosses would forget about the pain, which would seriously undermine their words.

Moreover, Li Weidong also intentionally started to leave the company. Not only did he go to the company less and stopped asking questions, but he also merged the senior executives of the two companies together.

All these signs indicate that Li Weidong intentionally or unintentionally wants to be a behind-the-scenes boss and no longer interferes with the company's specific affairs.

Perhaps this is what Li Weidong said: the company must develop into a modern enterprise in the future, with professional management and professional managers.

Every aspect needs to be handled by professional managers. This is the key to the healthy development of a company.

Li Weidong nodded, and then continued walking in the direction of the elevator. Before he reached the elevator entrance, the elevator had already opened from the inside. This was the most meticulous service.
