Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 498 Survival is the most important thing

"Did you take notes?" Li Weidong raised his book and asked in surprise, curiosity and disbelief.

The book is full of marks with pens of two colors. Although the fonts are not very neat and not appreciable, the notes are very solid and detailed. As for the results, I will not comment for now. The attitude of studying is worthy of recognition.

"Hey, I was reading blindly by myself. I couldn't understand many places, so I asked a few top students in the company to explain it to me. I couldn't remember it after they said it again, so I had to write it down in the book first, and then I would read it by myself when I had nothing to do.

Turn it over!"

Doubiang smiled sheepishly and said that there are many college students who graduated in marketing in the company. His secretary is in this major and is still a graduate student. The textbook he taught him was full of mistakes.

This matter is quite secretive, and the secretary is also a smart person, so he will not be dissatisfied with the company's publicity. Not only can't publicity harm it, he must always keep it secret. As long as there is leakage, he will be the most suspicious, and his good life will come to an end.

Although the boss does not have a high degree of education, he is very energetic, which at least allows him to live comfortably, earn a salary that is the envy of many classmates in state-owned enterprises, and has a bright future.

Of course, the secretary also admires the boss very much for being able to take the initiative to learn and not being ashamed to ask questions. It is not unreasonable for him to succeed.

Li Weidong was also very surprised by this. He didn't expect that a gangster who had always been a bit of a gangster in his eyes could study so seriously, which was enough to impress him.

Li Weidong casually flipped through a few more pages, and then changed a few more books. There were more or less notes in the books. It seemed that he had practiced hard, not just trying to deal with someone.

"Very good, keep up this momentum, you will be half an expert in five years!" Li Weidong sat on Doubiang's office chair, looked at Doubiang with admiration, and said encouragingly.

"Don't make fun of me. You're an expert. I can only look at these things. Economics and accounting give me a headache. I don't know how to teach them!" Doubiang said with a grin, baring his teeth.

.

"Economics is a bit difficult and requires some knowledge of calculus, but it doesn't matter. Just take your time and understand the meaning. You don't need to deduce many principles!" Li Weidong nodded in agreement.

Li Weidong studied two books on economics by himself in his last life, and he only read them twice. Many important principles and conclusions require some advanced mathematics knowledge to deduce.

As for accounting, he is even more familiar with it. His wife is doing this, and she has been educated in it throughout her life. Besides, these things can also be used in business, so naturally he followed suit and learned some things. It is indeed difficult to understand some things.

The word "loan" confused him for a long time.

"Yes, yes, I just want to understand what those nouns mean. The people below me think that I am illiterate, so they just use those advanced words to fool me!" Doubiang quickly expressed his attitude.

"As long as you read, reading is not free. You all have to work hard. Academic qualifications don't matter, but if you don't study, it will be embarrassing and it will be easy for others to fool you!" Li Weidong nodded in agreement.

"Yes, we have been studying, reading newspapers, and going to school to attend classes, trying to improve our academic qualifications!" Liu Dachun quickly assured him when he heard what Li Weidong said.

I was also envious of Doubi in my heart. The boss saw such a glorious side, and the impression score can be given full marks.

This is similar to the effect of prostitutes becoming good and evil people doing good. It is simply a subversive impression. Even Liu Dachun himself admired Doubian's learning enthusiasm, not to mention Li Weidong who kept asking them to study.

"Well, you don't have to worry about high academic qualifications. The higher the better. The company will reimburse the tuition fees for improving your academic qualifications. As long as you get a diploma, you will be reimbursed!" Although Li Weidong has some doubts about raising the level of academic qualifications, it is always good to learn a little bit.

Doubian then introduced to Li Weidong their strategic plan, development goals, and results for the next three years. Li Weidong affirmed these and encouraged them to continue working hard to create a better tomorrow.

Li Weidong rarely made any criticism this time, which shows that he was very satisfied with Doubian's learning attitude.

"Chairman, after two to three years of layout, the first, second and third tier cities can basically be saturated. The next step is to consider moving to the fourth, fifth and sixth tier county-level areas. This is a broader market!" Doubian finally said passionately.

said.

Li Weidong frowned. He wanted to maintain his usual attitude of praise, but he couldn't help but said: "Although the county-level regional market is vast, the consumption power still needs to be investigated again!"

"You advertise to the outside world that the price is uniform across the country. This price is relatively cheap in big cities, the sales volume is good, and the profit is not bad. But as you read in the book, the relationship between price and sales volume has an inflection point!"

"At this price, how much sales do you think you can achieve in the county and how many employees you can support? It's best to investigate first and try it out!"

When Doubi heard Li Weidong's words, he pondered for a moment and said: "Chairman, this is just an immature idea of ​​mine. The details must be discussed by the board of directors, and other institutions will be entrusted to conduct research!"

"However, I also learned about the development of county economies, especially in some provinces in the south. They are developing very rapidly. The output value of townships in the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta is even greater than that of cities in the mainland!"

"So I think that when our layout in first-, second- and third-tier cities is similar, about two to three years later, their economic situation will definitely be better than now, and their ability to accept this price will be better!"

After listening to Doufang's words, Li Weidong's understanding of him became higher. He had his own opinions, which were well-founded, and he could even talk to Li Weidong to a certain extent.

Li Weidong nodded and said nothing, acquiescing to Doubian's inference, but he knew in his heart that this situation could only be possible in more developed places in the south, and probably not in most counties in the north.

He seemed to remember that there were no KFC or McDonald's stores in their county until the year he was reborn. They were all so-called fried chicken burgers or domestic and foreign fast food. The price advantage was too obvious.

It’s all junk food, how can you still say that yours doesn’t have the junk from other homes?

To the common people, it’s all junk food, and it doesn’t make any difference which one they eat. On the contrary, the food from those small workshops tastes quite good!

After chatting for a while and drinking two cups of tea, Li Weidong proposed to leave. In the elevator room, Liu Dachun asked tentatively: "Brother, you are here, do you want to go to Jingwei Investment?"

Li Weidong hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Yeah, I'm here already. It's a bit too much not to go up and have a look. Then go up and have a look. I seem to remember that the person in charge of the Beijing company is Jiang Zongtao, right?"

"If you remember, it's Mr. Jiang. When the office was upgraded to a subsidiary, Mr. Jiang came to take charge of the business here!" Liu Dachun said with a smile.

Some shares of Anjuke are still held by Jingwei Investment to ensure their status as Hong Kong investors, so Jingwei Investment is a shareholder of Anjuke. This is the case for most companies under Li Weidong's name.

Later, Jingwei Investment established several subsidiaries, and based on the principle of proximity, each subsidiary held these shares in its name. Naturally, each subsidiary had to assign full-time or part-time directors to the board of directors.

For a relatively large company like Anjuke, the directors on the board of directors are usually senior managers or general managers of subsidiaries. Therefore, Jiang Zongtao naturally became a director of Anjuke and was naturally familiar with Liu Dachun.

Although they basically don’t ask about anything, they only supervise financial audit matters on time and standardize the company’s accounting and other financial issues, directors are directors and have an important vote on the board of directors.

Therefore, Liu Dachun is also very polite to others, especially when the decision-making layer of the board of directors and the executive layer of the managerial committee are separated in the future, Liu Dachun's power will definitely be weakened. If he can make good friends with this director, there will be no harm.

Now Liu Dachun proposes and Li Weidong agrees, Jiang Zongtao has one more opportunity to report directly to the big boss, and also has one more opportunity to let the big boss understand his abilities.

It is definitely beneficial for Jiang Zongtao to have such an opportunity. Knowing that Liu Dachun facilitated this matter, I will naturally feel grateful to him from the bottom of my heart. Is it necessary to support him more in some matters without violating the principles and morality of the world?

The office building in New Century Plaza has a total of 25 floors, the top three floors of which belong to Jingwei Investment, but the elevator can only go to the 24th floor, and the 25th floor is not controlled by outsiders.

Doubian explained to Li Weidong: "Although the 23rd to 25th floors are nominally rented by Jingwei Investment, in fact the 23rd floor is not for their own use. It is called "Maker Space"!"

"It's more than 1,000 square meters, divided into many offices. The big ones are more than ten square meters, and the small ones are only a few square meters. You can even start a business with a desk. Now many young people are starting their own businesses here!"

"Furthermore, the rental price offered by Jingwei Investment is simply ridiculous. As long as you have a good idea, write it down and get it approved, it's basically free, and you'll also be provided with entrepreneurial guidance!"

Li Weidong nodded. He had mentioned this to Zheng Sijing before, and knew that Jingwei Investment was also doing this kind of work, but he knew in his heart that this kind of thing was just to let young people experience entrepreneurship and have experience.

If it is really difficult to succeed in starting a business based on this thing, it is a small probability event for college students to start a business, and the possibility of success for this kind of random business is even smaller. Of course, small does not mean there is no chance.

"It is said that in just three or four years, thousands of makers have come here to experience entrepreneurship. Of course, most of the makers have failed, but there are also some who have successfully gone out and started companies!"

"Just a few months ago, there was a team working on a search engine, and a few of them were turtles studying abroad. It is said that there were only six or seven people. They received an investment of 10 million from Jingwei Investment, and now they have moved to Zhongguancun.

!”

Li Weidong smiled knowingly after hearing this. He was familiar with this matter. He had always had a habit of regularly summarizing to him the directories of companies invested or pre-invested by Jingwei Investment and Peking Capital.

At the end of last year, he saw the name Baidu in the pre-investment list. With 5 million in funds, Li Weidong didn't need to ask about it at all, so there was no need for Jingwei Investment to report separately.

But when Li Weidong saw this name, he felt happy. They came to him before he went to find them. At that moment, Li Weidong knew that no future BAT would be able to escape his grasp.

So as soon as he was happy, Li Weidong called Zheng Sijing and doubled the investment to 10 million. As for the shares, Li Weidong didn't need to worry about it. He believed that the people below would understand.

Boss Li probably didn't know what was going on, so he happily accepted this excessive investment. Before the business succeeds, who knows whether it will succeed. Naturally, the more money, the better.

And the more money there is, the greater the possibility of success. Most entrepreneurs have not been tortured and baptized by the shopping mall. Where do they get their foresight and long-term vision? Survival is the most important thing. Naturally, they will accept money wherever they come.

"With these successful cases, more makers applied to start their own business here. With more people, there are all kinds of makers, and it's a mixed bag. Later, it had an impact on the work of Jingwei Investment!"

"So in order to reduce the impact and maintain company safety, we separated this floor from their company. We can only go to the company reception desk on the 24th floor by taking the elevator!"

"Even if you go up from the elevator, you can only go to the 24th floor. If you want to go to the 25th floor, you have to go through the front desk. This creates a semi-enclosed place, which not only ensures safe passage but also reduces the impact.

!”

Doubian introduced that the elevator had reached the twenty-fourth floor. When the elevator door opened, it was indeed different from other floors.

The young lady at the front desk noticed that the elevator stopped at the twenty-fourth floor. When the elevator door was not open, she lowered her head and glanced at the registration book on the desk. There was an appointment record at this time, but people had already entered.

The young lady frowned slightly, but immediately returned to her professional smile. After all, as a domestic venture capital giant, they have considerable influence. Entrepreneurs often come here because of their reputation, so you can't be angry with them.

When the elevator opened, Li Weidong came out first. The young lady smiled and asked politely: "Hello, sir, welcome to Jingwei Investment. Who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?"

Li Weidong didn't say anything, but just looked at the young lady. Well, she's not bad. With her appearance, she made enough mistakes on the stage.

The young lady seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of scrutinizing gaze, her eyes changed slightly, and she began to slander her own peerless appearance, causing others to ignore her talents.

She was originally going to be an investment manager, but human resources told her that we still need a front desk, and I think you are a good fit. If you are willing, you can come to work at any time.

The young lady agreed very spinelessly. After all, when faced with an invitation from the largest venture capital company in the country, not everyone can get it. For advanced companies, there might be a chance.

However, the young lady's eyes soon became a little surprised. Although she did not recognize Li Weidong, she recognized the bean cake behind. After all, they were on the same floor and had business and investment relationships. It was not difficult to meet a general manager of this level.

.

"Hello Mr. Zhu, welcome to Jingwei Investment. You are looking for Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang should be in a meeting at this time?" After the young lady was surprised, she immediately straightened her already straight body and asked with a smile on her face.

But I also started to mutter in my heart, who is this person who walked out before Mr. Zhu? According to business etiquette, the first person to enter the elevator and the first person to get out of the elevator must be the most noble person. This is impossible to make a mistake?
