Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 510 Speed ​​Up

Zou Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, I understand what you mean!"

Whether it was out of public or selfish motives, Zou Yi was very happy with Li Weidong's decision.

Although Zou Yi is now the deputy general manager of both Xinsheng Holdings and Ruibos Holdings, and her ranking is even relatively high, her scope of responsibility is mainly abroad, especially at Peking Capital.

And this is also what many company executives tacitly agree on. Li Weidong's "two brands, one set of people" approach was short-lived and did not really play a practical role.

And Zou Yi really doesn't have that much energy. The big thing in Hong Kong has already left her scratching her head, so she can't take care of the domestic one yet.

Now Li Weidong does not want to transfer all foreign money to China as he originally imagined. Moreover, looking at the current situation, Li Weidong wants to keep a large amount of funds in Hong Kong Island, which is relatively free.

Hong Kong Island is Zou Yi’s base camp, and Zou Yi has a strong say in this place.

Moreover, Li Weidong asked a few of them to come over this time, which already explained a lot of problems. It is best to put the funds in Minsheng Bank. The use of this funds should be handled by two investment companies.

After Zou Yi made his statement, Zheng Sijing and Li Shihui also nodded, indicating that they understood what the boss meant.

"Let me give everyone a break first. Under normal circumstances, there won't be any specific issues involved today, but they are all financial professionals. Maybe someone will raise something!"

Li Weidong paused and continued: "Most issues can be discussed, but there is no need to discuss issues of principle!"

Then Li Weidong talked to a few people about the causes and consequences of this matter, as well as the possibility of investing in some large-scale projects in the central and western regions of the country.

"I reciprocate the favor, and when someone helps me, we have to carry each other's sedan chairs, and I'm very optimistic about these projects. This is also a way to digest the funds. We can't just lie in the bank and earn interest!"

"And our investment can't just be venture capital. Sometimes we also have to engage in equity investment. We need to have a good strategic mix and diversify the risks!"

"Now the central and western regions of the country are rich in energy, with a lot of oil and natural gas. They have huge development potential and broad investment prospects. This is also a rare opportunity for us to enter the energy industry!"

"Of course, what I said is only a possibility. We can see that this is a piece of fat, and others can also see that although those state-owned enterprises do not have so much funds now, are they willing to share the meat in their mouths with us?

, it’s not necessarily certain yet, it’s good that everyone has an idea!”

Although Li Weidong said this, he also knew that Director Zeng was the matchmaker, so he naturally had this consideration in mind. After all, thinking about the situation at that time, it had this meaning.

In this matter, Director Zeng, who is currently leading the matter, and these state-owned companies are not necessarily of the same mind. There is an element of game, but this large project will definitely not work without these state-owned companies.

After all, the country does not have enough funds now. Even if it has money, it still needs people to do specific things. State-owned enterprises are the main body of doing these things. If these enterprises are acting illegally, it will not be easy to deal with the procrastination.

Of course, for such an important matter, Director Zeng and the senior executives behind him must have had some well-thought-out ideas, and Li Weidong just happened to get it right!

In his previous life, Li Weidong seemed to remember that there were no restrictions on the nature of capital for investments in the central and western regions. Whether it was state-owned capital, private capital, or foreign capital, all investments could be made.

As for why it didn't work out in the end, Li Weidong doesn't know the specific reason. It's just the result of the game. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.

But no matter what the reason is, whether active or passive, Li Weidong has no other choice, and this choice is more in line with his interests.

After listening to Li Weidong's words, Zheng Sijing said: "Chairman, if this is really the case, our talent reserve in this area is quite insufficient, and we need to recruit some experts in this area!"

Li Weidong nodded and said: "This is possible. There are many old comrades who have just retired, and there are also many who are willing to work. Maybe they can't do other things, but there is absolutely no problem in putting forward some professional opinions that are in line with the national conditions!"

"Oh, by the way, if you didn't mention this, I almost forgot. Recently, you communicated with the Director of the High Technology Department of the Planning Commission and asked him to tell you about the latest policies and understand the latest policies. Don't

We took a detour!”

Zou Yi also added a few words. The company she is in charge of, Peking Capital, now has a strategic plan to enter the country, and Fu Xiaomin, who is the main force, has also begun preparations.

Since she wants to enter the country, she naturally needs to achieve some results and further secure her current position.

Only Li Shihui listened to the speeches of these people. He was the oldest among them in terms of age, but he was the youngest and lowest in terms of seniority and position.

Moreover, these things they mentioned were all strategic, and all he could participate in was to provide an account and then ensure the security of this account.

Of course, the biggest benefit is that it can quickly expand the bank's asset size without having to consider soliciting deposits, improve Minsheng Bank's world ranking, and even become a truly big bank.

Li Weidong finally said: "Okay, that's it. You guys go back and have a rest first. We will set off around six o'clock. I will contact you then!"

When Zou Yi, Zheng Sijing and Li Shihui heard what Li Weidong said, they stood up and said goodbye knowingly. They also wanted to go back and digest the content of Li Weidong's words.

After sending a few people away, Li Weidong returned to the room. Li Qian and Li Rui were watching TV, and Liu Jinhui was sitting on the sofa reading a business magazine provided in the hotel to pass the time.

Hearing the commotion, Liu Jinhui raised her head and glanced at Li Weidong, then lowered her head and continued reading the magazine, and then asked casually: "Is the conversation over?"

"Well, let's have a casual chat and unify our thoughts!" Li Weidong sat on the seat next to him, glanced at the magazine, and said with a smile.

"Unity of thought? You will gain a lot from attending this meeting. You will improve your consciousness very quickly. You can use such advanced vocabulary!" Liu Jinhui closed the magazine and said with a smile.

Li Weidong said: "You are being superficial. Whether it is a formal meeting or an informal chat, in the final analysis, the purpose is to reach a consensus and unify our thoughts. Otherwise, why waste this time!"

Liu Jinhui corrected: "I think you misunderstood. What I mean is that you are not unifying your thoughts with them, but conveying your thoughts. Even if you are unifying, you are unifying others under your thoughts!"

Li Weidong said angrily: "Am I so intolerant of other people's opinions as you said? Am I so authoritarian?"

"Go and look in the mirror, look at your expression, and then remove the word "?" and you will know if you are a dictator!" Liu Jinhui pointed at Li Weidong's face and said.

Li Weidong shook his head and waved his hands and said: "Stop talking nonsense, I am famous for being a hands-off shopkeeper. If anyone says that I am dictatorial, they must have some misunderstanding about dictatorship!"

"I think you have some misunderstanding about dictatorship. Dictatorship does not mean that you have to do everything by yourself. You can't be a dictatorship if you just turn your back on the boss?"

"You're making excuses. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's be serious. I won't have dinner with you tonight. You take the kids to have something to eat at the hotel?" Li Weidong quickly ended the topic. If he continued, he might have to do it again.

Get into a fight.

In the end, couples are basically the same as each other. If they don't have money worries, they will have other problems.

In their previous life, they sometimes quarreled because they didn't have enough financial resources, but in this life they have endless money, and this problem still hasn't changed. Fortunately, Li Weidong has already experienced it once, and naturally there are more ways to deal with it.

Whenever a critical point is reached, Li Weidong can immediately stop it when things get better, which not only allows Liu Jinhui to experience how husband and wife get along, but also avoids any unpleasantness.

Liu Jinhui also knew that Li Weidong asked her to do so, but she also knew that although Li Weidong was a bit dictatorial in many matters, the company's decision-making did not cause any major problems.

On this point alone, no one can argue. China’s literature is extensive and profound, and its interpretations of dictatorship are also diverse. If it does well, it is called talent and strategy, and if it does not do well, it is called willful.

If you describe Li Weidong, he is naturally a talented person!

Liu Jinhui hesitated and said: "You are busy with your business, don't worry about us, take the children out to play, what's the point of staying in the hotel all the time, I will take the children for a walk around!"

Li Weidong pondered for a while and said: "That's okay, let Ding Yuan follow. This place in the capital is called Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon at best, and harbors filth and people and practices at worst. There are all kinds of people, and they all think they have two.

Where’s the brush!”

"I know, taking the kids is nothing more than going to some shopping malls. They are all public places. What kind of dragons and tigers can you encounter?"

Li Weidong nodded and stopped talking about it. He stood up and walked to the children watching TV and played with them for a while. This was considered compensation for not being able to accompany them at night!

At 6:25 in the evening, several cars passed through the bustling streets and came to a relatively quiet alley. They said they were having tea together, but in fact it was a restaurant.

There are too many such restaurants in the alleys of the capital, many famous, some not famous, and of course some are only famous in certain circles.

Director Zeng was able to choose this restaurant, so he naturally has a certain reputation in certain circles. At least there is no doubt about its confidentiality.

As soon as Li Weidong got off the car, a waiter came to greet him. After asking his name, he knew which room the guest was in and politely led Li Weidong and his party into the courtyard.

Li Weidong arrived early, but there were already people sitting in the rest area of ​​the room. Everyone had the same idea and would choose a suitable time to arrive at the banquet based on their identity and status.

Of course, punctuality is still relatively good. Even if you come early, it won't take too long, and being late is even less likely.

So Li Weidong had just exchanged greetings with the vice president in the room, and several more people came in one after another from outside to greet each other.

Director Zeng soon arrived, and everyone stood up to greet him.

After seeing this, Director Zeng said with a smile: "Hey, everyone is here. Sorry, I invited everyone to come, but I was late!"

"We just arrived too!"

"Director Zeng came just in time!"

Several people said with compliments.

Director Zeng smiled and shook hands with several people one by one, and said, "We all know each other, right? I don't need to introduce you, right?"

"Director Li is a man of great influence. I have always wanted to get to know him, but I just didn't have the chance. Today, Director Zeng made me realize this wish!" said Yam Chi-gang, President of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, with a smile.

Flattery is a common art in this world. Although I don’t have a leadership relationship, I still know that it’s easier to get things done with multiple acquaintances!

"Weidong, this is your fault. I remember you stayed in Hong Kong Island for a long time. Why don't you pay a visit to Mr. Ren? I'll give him two glasses of wine!" Director Zeng said with a smile.

"Director Zeng said critically, I want to have two more drinks with Mr. Ren later!" Li Weidong also said with a smile.

When he was in Hong Kong Island in those years, he wanted to visit the CEO of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and get a bank approval. However, his net worth was not that big at that time, and his status was not that high, so he could not see him.

Not necessarily yet.

Director Zeng smiled and said: "That's right, I will let Mr. Ren feel some of the enthusiasm of us mainlanders later!"

Then he looked at the crowd and said cheerfully: "I see we are all here, let's take a seat!"

Director Zeng walked to the main seat, and the secretary who followed him guided Ren Zhigang to sit down as the guest of honor. After all, his status was somewhat special. He was the governor of the Central Bank of Hong Kong Island. From another perspective, he was also half a guest.

At this time, Director Zeng pointed to the position on his left and said, "Weidong is sitting here, why are you hiding so far away!"

Li Weidong is obviously a guest of Director Zeng, but his status is different, mainly because he does not have a corresponding level, so he must be a bit particular about how he sits.

Of course, Li Weidong also knew that he had to sit in this position on today's occasion, but Li Weidong still smiled and joked: "Isn't it a bit overstepping for me to sit in this position today?"

"What are you arrogating? Today we are just having a private gathering, drinking a cup of tea, chatting, and sitting wherever you want. I let you sit here just because I want to make it easier for you to chat with me!"

Director Zeng said this to set the tone for today. Private communication has nothing to do with serious work.

It's just that no one here believes this. Most of these people are people within the system. At this position, there is no personal matter at all. Everything is business.

We knew the significance of this matter before we came here, and last night's news made everyone think a little more about today's events.

Everyone sat down one by one, and as expected, no one mentioned anything about work at the dinner table. They chatted about everything and toasted to each other's acquaintances.

In short, the topic was far and near, high and low, popular culture and the realm of life were discussed a lot, but there was no mention of Li Weidong's money transfer.

After the meal, everyone became familiar with each other and became closer to each other. Although no serious matters were mentioned, everyone knew that what should be done must be done well.

So things progressed very smoothly. The next day, Zou Yi communicated with Ren Zhigang and the heads of some banks, and flew directly from Beijing to San Francisco, USA, that afternoon to speed up the matter.
