Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 458: More money can buy a house, less money can buy Maotai

When Li Weidong and his party arrived at the hotel, they saw Gao Shengran, Yin Ning and Ma Weidong standing at the door chatting from a distance.

Seeing the three of them, Li Weidong nodded secretly and approved of Zhu Liping's arrangement. This could be regarded as taking care of his classmates quietly.

Before Li Weidong's car stopped, Zhu Liping, secretary Dong Chenghong, and a man wearing glasses appeared at the door of the hotel.

It is estimated that they have arrived a long time ago, but it is not convenient to stand at the door and wait. I just saw Li Weidong's car coming in, so I walked to the door to greet him.

Waiting for guests at the door and greeting guests are two completely different concepts. Being too respectful may not necessarily have an effective effect.

After all, their status is very special in the county. It would be too grand for the two most important people, plus a taller one, to wait for guests at the door.

Li Weidong pushed open the car door and came down, stretched out his hand from afar and said with a smile: "Sin, sin, I'm late, please criticize me from the leader!"

"No way, it's not that you are late, it's that we came early because we were not punctual!" Zhu Liping, who has the highest ranking, came to the front and shook hands with Li Weidong with a smile.

After many years of relationship, it's not a problem to make a joke, and they did come a little earlier than the agreed time. The host of the treat must arrive early, otherwise it will be rude.

Then Li Weidong shook hands with Dong Chenghong and exchanged greetings, "Boss, hello, hello, I wanted to visit you years ago, but I was just afraid that you were busy and couldn't spare the time!"

Dong Chenghong held his hands and said very enthusiastically: "Dong Li is too polite. I have to make a statement today. As long as you come, we will have time no matter how busy we are!"

If someone can talk about the situation, he can take over. It doesn't matter who can't spare the time. What matters is that Li Weidong can come. It would be best to invest hundreds of millions more.

Qiushan Cement Factory is a major taxpayer in Qiushan, and Li Weidong is the major shareholder of Qiushan Cement. To a certain extent, he is their money-giving boy.

Besides, he is a well-known rich man, and his money is higher than the output value of his county. No matter how polite you are to such a person, you can't be too polite.

Dong Chenghong is still young, and he also wants to improve the economy, achieve some results, and strive to reach the same level as Zhu Liping.

It was because of Zhu Liping's luck that she got lucky after meeting Li Weidong, almost every two years. In just seven or eight years, she was like riding a rocket, which made him extremely envious.

In the final analysis, the reason is to improve the economy. If the economy can improve, Qiushan Cement has played a big role. Several factories of Qiushan Cement Factory are the main force in the output value of the county.

At this time, Dong Chenghong could especially understand the words of the great man: economic development is the last word, otherwise everything will be a castle in the air.

"Then I will come here more often, but if I come in the future, don't you think I'm delaying your work?" Li Weidong said smoothly with a smile.

"That's great, we can't ask for it. This is the greatest support for our work!" Dong Chenghong smiled even more happily.

"Director Li, let me introduce to you. This is our new Magistrate Guo from Qiushan. He is a top student in the Chinese Department of Handong University. He has directly raised our average academic qualifications by a large margin!"

Can Li Weidong understand the meaning of Dong Chenghong's words just now, which is to improve the average academic qualifications. What does this mean? Can it only improve the academic qualifications and not enhance the collective leadership ability?

They were all human beings, and Li Weidong felt his brain hurt. This was a relatively friendly situation for him. If he wanted to dig a hole to bury him, he could probably trick him into digging a hole to bury himself.

That's why he chose to do business, because it was easy to get ahead and he could live without having to use his brain to figure out people's hearts!

"Hello, Mr. Li, Guo Xianping!" Guo Xianping stretched out his hand and said with a low posture.

"Hello, Magistrate Guo!" Li Weidong reached out and held it, frowning slightly and said, "Have we met somewhere?"

"Director Li really has a good memory. This year, or should I say last year now, at the celebration party for the completion of the Skoda production line, I, along with the provincial leaders and Director Ma, had the honor to meet you once!" Guo Xianping said with a smile on his face.

"Oh, I remember, I remember, last year the leader inspected the Skoda Automobile Factory, Director Ma was accompanying him, and you were standing next to him!" Li Weidong said, pretending to be enlightened.

In fact, Li Weidong really doesn't remember it very clearly, but this Director Ma is special, and the leader is even more special. The leader's secretary has a secretary, so he can be an ordinary person!

Moreover, he was inspecting the Skoda Automobile Factory. Li Weidong naturally knew about this. As for whether he was standing on the sidelines, that was definitely the case. Everyone had to surround the leader.

"Yes, yes, Chairman Li really knows how to remember things well!" Guo Xianping was very happy. He was a young man at that time, and being remembered by others was enough to show their respect.

When Dong Chenghong saw this scene, his expression was slightly abnormal, but he quickly recovered, because Director Ma had already retired, so how much influence could he still have.

At this time, Zhu Liping had already greeted Li Weimin and Gao Anbang. Seeing this scene, her expression changed slightly.

Li Weimin and Gao Anbang were somewhat reserved in shaking hands and greeting these leaders, and were not as calm as Li Weidong.

Zhu Liping saw Li Weidong saying hello to several classmates and then said: "Let's stop standing at the door and drink. How about Director Li condescend to go in and chat?"

"You are a leader and a lesbian. If you don't go first, we won't dare!" Li Weidong joked with a smile.

"Director Li, if you want to say that ladies are given priority, I will do my best, but I don't dare to say leadership. Today is a gathering of friends, but there are no leaders or subordinates!" Zhu Liping said pretending to be angry.

"Yes, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you!" Li Weidong waved his hand quickly, and already determined the nature of the dinner before it even started, it was just a gathering of friends.

The key is that these are friends. The more you emphasize something, the less reliable it becomes!

After several people entered the box, the director of the reception office outside breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ordered the waiter to start preparing the dishes to make sure no mistakes were made.

Li Weidong sat humbly in the seat of the guest of honor, next to Zhu Liping and Dong Chenghong. The others sat in turn and could find their seats without asking.

After sitting down, several waiters came up and started pouring tea and wine, and several exquisite dishes began to be served to the table.

"Director Li, our conditions here are limited, so we can only serve some hometown dishes. Do you think it suits your taste?" Zhu Liping said, pointing to the dishes on the table.

"Hey, if you don't use your chopsticks, my greedy mind will be aroused. To be honest, after living outside for so many years, I like our hometown food!"

Li Weidong looked at the dishes on the table. Although he hadn't eaten them yet, they smelled good and looked good, and he really felt like a glutton in his stomach.

"That's perfect, and it's not worth the leader's special explanation. Then let's use chopsticks quickly?" Dong Chenghong agreed with a smile.

Li Weidong picked up a piece of cold crispy lotus root with his chopsticks and tasted it, "Not bad, it still tastes the same!"

The lotus root from Weishan Lake, the fine lotus root tips, are crisp and refreshing, and the mixed taste makes Li Weidong miss it very much. It tasted like this when we had banquets at weddings and weddings in the past.

"And this spicy chicken, what's the difference when you try it?" Zhu Liping said, pointing to a large plate of spicy chicken that was still hot.

"What difference can there be? The peppers are different, the chicken is different, it can't be the potatoes, right?" Li Weidong picked up a piece of potato and tasted it.

"You can't try the chicken. This is a wild rooster. According to them, it has lived for several years!" Zhu Liping said angrily.

The best rooster for spicy chicken is masculine. Young roosters and old roosters are both good, and each has its own taste, but old wild roosters are better.

"Well, it tastes good, this one is amazing!" Li Weidong took a bite and felt that it was indeed different. The meat was firm and chewy, and the key was that it was very fragrant with the spiciness.

"Taking advantage of this taste, if you have another drink, it will be even better. Let's have a drink together?" Zhu Liping said with a smile while holding the wine glass.

"I have to have a drink!" Li Weidong was also unambiguous. He was already here, so he couldn't be pretentious, otherwise it would be better not to come.

Zhu Liping made a scene, and everyone at the table raised glasses together and knocked on the table lightly. If there was more noise, it would be like a meeting with the Beggars' Gang.

The main business of the wine party started, and there was not much of a meeting. The first glass of wine was over. At this time, the waiter picked up the bottle and started pouring wine. Gao Shengran stood up and waved to them to let them out.

Then he took the wine bottle and walked to Li Weidong's side with a smile to pour the wine. "Director Li, you have tasted good wine. How would you rate our 20-year-old Qiushan puree?"

Gao Shengran has already calmed down his mentality a long time ago. He is not the stupid young man he was back then. He has been in the system for so many years. If there is no change, how can he survive.

It's for sure that I envy Li Weidong for being rich, but since he works in the investment promotion department, he has met many businessmen, many of whom are successful and many who are unsuccessful.

Not everyone has the ability to do business. A few years ago, many people made a fortune doing business, but now they have lost everything, and even owe a lot of debt.

There are many such companies in Qiushan that are on the verge of bankruptcy or have already gone bankrupt. Many people even asked him for help, hoping that he would attract investment to save their lives.

So he envied money, but he didn't dare to go out and earn it. Of course, he was very satisfied with his job and became the head agent of the department at the age of thirty-three.

Moreover, there are too few people like Li Weidong who can make money. He can't even say that he envies Li Weidong. When talking about Li Weidong, he can only think, "Why is he so good?"

He has no other thoughts at all. Is he able to envy the amount of wealth that other people possess? Only worship is appropriate!

So when he poured wine for Li Weidong, he was willing to do so. Others may not have this opportunity!

And being shameless, it would be even better if he could attract some investment through his connections with classmates. His agency might be about to be straightened out.

"Old classmate, there is something in these words. I always feel like what are you going to do?" Li Weidong looked at Gao Shengran with a smile.

"Look what you said, we are classmates, what tricks can I give you, a beauty trick?" Gao Shengran's face remained unchanged and he continued to say with a smile.

"You are quite confident, but I don't like fat people. I still like gentle middle-aged men like Principal Ma!" Li Weidong looked at Gao Shengran's round face and said with a smile.

After several people listened, the scene burst into laughter, especially Principal Ma himself, who choked out the tea he drank.

Gao Shengran's position is different, and his work nature is also uncontrollable. He entertains customers blindly, eats and drinks arbitrarily, and becomes potbellied.

Ma Weidong wears glasses, is a teacher, and has a bookish air about him. Gao Shengran is indeed a step below Ma Weidong.

Everyone at the table had strange expressions.

Ma Weidong used to work in the Education Committee, but later took the initiative to apply to be transferred to the school to be a teacher. This was somewhat contrary to common sense.

Others are teaching in schools, and only if they teach well or have connections can they be transferred to the system, so it is definitely not appropriate for him to go from the education committee to a school just to be a teacher.

Therefore, Principal Ma came into being. His hair is still very moisturizing. You can tell by looking at his hair. Even in middle age, his hair is still so thick.

"I am lucky enough to be remembered by the richest man Li, and I will die with no regrets!" Ma Weidong finally calmed down, and after hearing Li Weidong's words, he sighed with a smile, joking must be praised by someone, otherwise it will not be a joke.

After Li Weidong's interruption, Gao Shengran couldn't say what he wanted to say. This was also done deliberately by Li Weidong. The effect would be much worse if he said it or not.

In front of so many people, if Li Weidong really commented that the wine was good, and then Gao Shengran climbed up the pole and complained again, no matter how he refused, it would be better not to let him say it.

Of course, Li Weidong can say it's not good, but in front of so many people, saying that the drink you invited me to drink is not a good person.

And this wine is really good. It has been aged for twenty years. It tastes very smooth and has a rich wine taste, which is rare on the market.

"What do you think of the richest man? How much can I spend? The money is for use, as long as it is enough. Besides, the money is only temporarily with me and will be returned to society sooner or later!"

Li Weidong drank a glass of water and improved his skills a little. Anyway, no one had said this before. He was original.

"Dr. Li's awareness is so high that we should learn from it. Applause, applaud!" Dong Chenghong immediately took the lead in applauding after hearing this.

"How do you think you can make so much money? Why don't you teach me how to make money? I don't ask for much, just a car and a house!" Yin Ning said in a tone of genuine asking for advice.

"Your requirements are not low. The Forbidden City is also a house, and the train is also a car. Which one do you want?" Before Li Weidong could speak, Ma Weidong said first, this is to continue the adulation to the end.

"I'm serious, money is so thin now. Even though I don't have much money in my hand, it's even less valuable if I leave it alone!" Yin Ning sighed. With the rapid economic development, money will naturally depreciate along with it. This is inevitable.

"This is easy to do. You can buy a house with more money and buy Maotai with less money. In twenty years, if the price does not increase tenfold, I will replenish it for you!" Li Weidong said confidently.

He said this sincerely. For a dual-income family like Ma Weidong and Yin Ning, it is indeed unrealistic to speculate and hoard houses. The unit price is too high and they cannot afford it.

If you want to stock up on Maotai liquor, you have the ability to do so. If you store the liquor in your early 200s for ten or twenty years, it will multiply ten times or more than twenty times. Compared with other investments, it is more reliable!
