Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 452 The grown-up Runtu

Li Weidong was startled when he heard this voice. He was trying to harm him!

Following the sound, he looked over and saw a middle-aged man whom Li Weidong knew. He was an uncle of theirs who had never been to the fifth level.

He is a well-known idiot in the village. Not only does he not talk carelessly, but he also has no brains. He is best at following other people's words and talking to them. He will follow what others say.

From the looks of it, he probably didn't mean to harm him, but he could only do bad things with good intentions. Li Weidong has never seen a living person who erected a monument!

Li Chengwen also got out of the car. Hearing everyone's discussion, he said: "What a big deal, what monument should be erected? Eat the food grown in our village and drink the water in our village. Now that we have some money, we have to do something for the village."

contribute!"

These words interrupted everyone's cheers. What they said seems to make sense. It is right for people who have been nurtured by this land and water to repay this land and water when they are prosperous. Of course, this can only be said by Li Chengwen.

Li Weidong looked at Li Chengwen and suddenly felt sincere admiration for his speaking skills. His words were so profound. When did he improve so quickly!

Li Chengwen saw that everyone had stopped talking and was very satisfied with the effect. Facts have proved that his status in the village is not necessarily lower than that of the village director Li Zongqi.

Seeing that the effect was good, Li Chengwen added another sentence: "If you ask me, what I have done is far from enough. If you have any difficulties in the village in the future, just ask him and he will definitely help!"

Li Weidong originally admired his own father, but when he heard this sentence, he always felt something was wrong. He felt that the matter was not big enough. He was cheating on his father, so why was he cheating on his son?

Of course, if there are difficulties in the village, Li Weidong will definitely help, but is it a bit too much for his father to brag to his son like this? Besides, not all difficulties can be helped.

For example, if someone cannot give birth to a son, how can he help?

But now is not the time to make trouble. Li Weidong said obediently: "Yes, yes, I grew up in our village. Without the care of everyone, I couldn't leave the village, and there would be no today. If you have any difficulties in the future, if you can look down on it,

I, I will definitely help if I can!"

After everyone heard this, they all cheered and clapped, forgetting about erecting the monument just now!

Li Weidong suddenly felt that he would never come back. Now he was no longer an ordinary person, and his influence would be too great wherever he went.

Li Weidong was thinking, no wonder the future bosses don't go back to their hometowns very often. How can they live a peaceful New Year in such an environment!

These days are a little better. The Internet has not yet emerged, and the timeliness of news will be much worse. Later, short videos will become popular, and there will be Internet celebrities everywhere who are enjoying the popularity.

The water is blocked.

Thinking of this, Li Weidong looked up at the scenery around him, wanting to take another look and imprint his hometown in his mind. After all, he might not have the chance to see it in the future.

A few kids got out of the car behind to watch the fun. Although my nephew and nephew went to school in the county, they often came back during holidays, so they were no strangers to the villagers.

Only the two children of Li Weidong's family would only come back during the Chinese New Year. The children grew up so fast, which naturally surprised the villagers, who gathered around them and praised them.

He's grown up so fast, he's so good-looking, he's so tall, he's so fair, he's so beautiful, he's so smart, he's such a director, and so on and so forth.

Li Qian is already a director and can't stand these useless compliments, but seeing the smiles on his parents' faces, he can only bear it.

"Okay, stop hanging around. The children don't have enough clothes to wear. Get in the car and get warm quickly!" Li Zongqi saw that it was almost done and quickly let several children get in the car.

People in the city have heating and are pampered. They cannot bear the cold for a long time. It would be a sin if they really catch a cold or have a fever.

Shen Yueying also hurriedly urged several children to get on the bus. She had long been impatient with these people, but because of the reputation of the villagers, she was afraid that others would gossip, so she couldn't say anything.

"You go back first, I'll walk back with them and talk!" Li Weidong looked at several friends in the crowd and said to Liu Jinhui.

"Okay, go ahead. Don't forget to go back for dinner later. I guess the eldest sister has already prepared it!" Liu Jinhui glanced at her watch, the smile on her face remained unchanged, and she whispered.

It's past twelve o'clock now. Even if rural people don't have time to eat in winter, they are still hungry. And Li Weihua knows that they are back, so he must be busy at home.

And she is also embarrassed here. She is the daughter-in-law of the Li family, but she doesn't come back often. Others know her, but she may not know them.

She couldn't pronounce her name, and the more she spoke, the more embarrassed she became. In front of so many people, she couldn't verify with Li Weidong.

It would be okay if Li Weihong was here, at least she could call her sister-in-law together. Anyway, the title is still correct, but Li Weihong didn't show up at all, and was just hiding in the car!

She is an older, unmarried young woman. It is best not to appear in crowded places in the village. In winter, old women have nothing to do except eat melon seeds and gossip.

Given the personalities of the old ladies in the village, if they didn't talk about her marriage problems for a few days, it meant that they were very busy this winter.

"Don't wait for me, you eat first, the children must be hungry!" Li Weidong also looked at his watch and said, his little friend came to greet him, if he left without saying a few words, he would be too arrogant, and he would definitely not suitable.

"The children must not be hungry. They are probably full on the way. Yesterday the old lady prepared a large bag of snacks, which are all the children like to eat!" Liu Jinhui reminded in a low voice.

After speaking, Liu Jinhui smiled with the ladies, waved her hands, and got into the car. The driver was replaced by Miao Yu, and Ding Yuan did not get in the car.

Ding Yuan is the first bodyguard and must always be with Li Weidong. Although nothing will happen in the village, the boss may have other needs.

Li Weidong took another pack of cigarettes from the car, greeted the crowd that had not dispersed, and then walked to Li Hua and others who were chatting with Li Weimin.

People like Li Hua are considered wealthy people in the village, and their reputation in the village is no less than that of Li Weidong. After all, Li Weidong is too far away from them.

The hollow brick factory they used to work in partnership split up a few years ago under the witness of Li Weidong due to too many differences. Now they are working on their own.

With Li Weidong's temper, he would never get involved in such a thing, but this group of friends were all his friends since childhood, and it was his idea to do this.

Li Weidong even had a copy of the partnership agreement drafted at that time. He properly assumed the obligation to guarantee everyone's character and was also a fair person.

Doing business as a partnership will usually go through these stages: working together, sharing the same bed, having different dreams, fighting in the same room, dying together, from the Water Margin to the Shanghai Bund.

Now the differences are getting bigger and bigger, and they have begun to move from being in the same bed with different dreams to being in the same room and fighting each other. If it takes a while, they will probably perish together.

And now that their industries are getting bigger and bigger, it is obviously inappropriate to rely on this kind of relationship to win over each other. Instead of fighting with each other in the same room, it is better to separate altogether.

Theoretically, assets should be divided and liabilities should be divided according to the proportion of the original investment. Of course, problems will inevitably arise in the process.

For them, the heaviest asset among assets is equipment, but there is a problem with equipment depreciation. As time goes by, depreciation will definitely occur.

But depreciation doesn’t mean it can’t be used. Everyone wants a good one now. After all, everyone will still be in this industry in the future. How expensive will it be to buy a new one?

In fact, the focus of their separation was here. Millions of equipment was not a small sum for anyone, and everyone came to Li Weidong to complain.

This left Li Weidong with no good solution. He happened to read an unofficial history saying that Emperor Chongzhen didn't know who to choose for his cabinet, so he held a divination ceremony.

Cabinet ministers can draw lots, but their hundreds of thousands or millions of things are worthless. In the end, they decided how to divide the family by a joking method like drawing lots.

The few people who did it were also surprised. This is money, and does this count as gambling? If they are caught, does it count as a huge amount of gambling money?

After they separated, they were still a team to the outside world, maintaining an overall image and competitive strength, but internally they were doing their own things, but the relationship was pretty good.

Facts have proved that after we were in the same boat, it was absolutely right for everyone to separate their small assets, and their respective companies developed very rapidly.

At least in the surrounding areas, a tangible and nameless industrial consortium has been formed, monopolizing the nearby concrete prefabricated component industry.

Now we are producing not only hollow bricks, but also many floor slabs, box beams, roof truss beams, culvert frames, concrete piles, etc.

And unknowingly, these people in the village have taken over the entire industrial chain, including cement and gravel in the upstream and construction companies in the downstream.

Several people saw that Li Weidong did not get in the car, so they walked towards this side and greeted him. There is a difference between being a little rich and having a lot of money. In the town and county, you can walk sideways, but in the village, you still have to lie down honestly.

Don't dare to show off in the slightest.

"Weidong!" "Big brother!" "Big brother!"

Several people called them by their own names according to their seniority and age.

"What a coincidence, why are you back today?" Li Weidong was stunned, but greeted him warmly.

As he said this, he popped out a few cigarettes from the cigarette case to signal them to smoke, but something seemed wrong with a few of them and they did not directly take out the cigarettes from the cigarette case as usual.

"Smoking, have you quit smoking?" Li Weidong asked in surprise.

"No, no, even if you become a ghost, you still have to take two puffs!" Li Hua, the elder, spoke first, stretched out his hands and took out one.

Li Wen, Li Sanyuan, Li Chuan, Li Lei and others also followed suit, holding cigarettes in both hands, extremely polite and reserved!

When Li Weidong saw them all like this, he suddenly felt a toothache and the cigarettes he was smoking were not getting better. His young man Runtu had changed.

Li Weidong couldn't remember when people of his own age had ever called him eldest brother or eldest brother. They always called each other names, even nicknames, and nicknames randomly.

He wanted to tell them interesting stories about his school days, how he harmed the second uncle's orchard, and how he stole other people's sweet potatoes and roasted them on the way to school.

But they became polite to him. This was probably the grown-up Runtu, with a look of joy and embarrassment on his face, and his attitude finally became respectful.

The way they hold the cigarette with both hands seems to be similar to the "master" in Runtu's mouth. There is already a thick wall between them because of their wealth and status.

Li Weidong suddenly felt a little lost and didn't know what to say. Although it was noisy, it made him feel as if he was still for a few seconds.

"Weidong, they say you have one billion. How much are these one billion? Can you bring it back to us one day and open our eyes?"

When Li Weidong was stunned, a voice next to him said. Li Weidong turned around and saw that it was Li Qi, a pig farmer in the village and Li Sanyuan's cousin.

This man contracted to raise fish in the reservoir, and built a pig farm next to the reservoir to raise pigs. In these days, pig farming was not monopolized by breeding companies, and ordinary people still made some money.

Therefore, Li Qi can make tens of thousands of dollars every year by doing these things. At least in his opinion, he belongs to the top class in the village and is qualified to talk to several rich people in the village.

As for the claim that Li Weidong had more than one billion, he didn't believe it. It was probably a boast in the newspapers. No one knew about it before. He had so much money.

Of course, even if it wasn't that much, it would definitely be much more than his family's money. At least while others drove luxury cars, he could only drive a tricycle, so he was still a little respectful when he spoke.

Li Weidong doesn't like this person, not just Li Weidong, but many people don't like him very much, but when people come up to him, Li Weidong can't ignore him.

Li Weidong handed over a cigarette and said with a smile: "Second brother is here, have a cigarette!"

Li Qi smiled and took the cigarette handed over by Li Weidong, put it to his nose and smelled it, and said with an intoxicated expression: "Good cigarettes are good, but this one is not worth my box!"

As he spoke, he took out his lighter and lit the cigarette. The way he smoked was filled with the thoughts of a small farmer, and asked again, "Weidong, do you really have one billion?"

Li Weidong knew he couldn't escape, so he had to smile and said: "Listen to their nonsense, if they ask me to get tens of thousands, I can actually come up with one billion. Even the bank doesn't have that much money!"

After hearing what Li Weidong said, Li Qi smiled and said: "Let me just say, we have never seen one billion, but I weighed one hundred thousand yuan at home, which is almost two and a half pounds. One billion is not more than 20,000."

Jin, it’s heavier than the pigs in my pen!”

The expression on his face when he spoke was very interesting, with a feeling of relief, and at the same time he was showing off. He had seen one hundred thousand yuan, so he was not short of money!

"Yes, yes, but it weighs more than 20,000 kilograms. I'm afraid I can't even pull this car!" Li Weidong agreed with a smile, do you still want to explain to him?

Li Weidong didn't mean to laugh at others. After all, it was not his fault, it was his fault of his origin, and he also admired this person's ability!

In his previous life, Li Weidong was a college student, and he didn't have so much money in this era. In other words, according to normal logic, he was not as capable as others!

Li Weimin looked at Li Qi next to him and wanted to laugh, but was embarrassed. The other people also had similar expressions, and Li Sanyuan looked slightly embarrassed.

They all follow Li Weidong's example of keeping a low profile. Although they have made a lot of money in the past few years, they never publicize it to the outside world. How can Li Qi, who has a hundred thousand yuan, have to show off.

"It's very cold here. Let's not stand here. Why don't we go to my house for a cup of tea?" Li Weimin couldn't let his brother be embarrassed anymore, so he pointed to his home not far away and said.
