Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 551 Development

"Mr. Ma, you are a professional. I will trouble you to recommend the most expensive horse to me later!" Li Weihong said to Ma Ruilong with a smile, with the intention of taking advantage to the end.

Ma Ruilong glanced at Li Weidong and saw that Li Weidong had no objection, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely recommend a horse that is most suitable for you!"

The most expensive and the most suitable are definitely not the same thing. Ma Ruilong can't really recommend the most expensive horse to Li Weihong.

The expensive one may not be applicable. If so, he is probably not far away from being fired, and this job will probably be gone.

Zheng Sijing looked on with envy on his face, not that Li Weihong got a horse so easily, but for the way Li Weidong's family got along.

Zheng Sijing has achieved something now, has a certain reputation in society, and can speak well outside, but when it comes to handling family relationships, he is far less calm and relaxed than Li Weidong.

Zheng Sijing has many relatives, especially after he bought the old house in Beijing according to his father's last wish, all kinds of relatives started to come to visit, including cousins, cousins, cousins, and uncles all came to visit.

I know that he is the general manager of Jingwei Investment, and he is in charge of billions of dollars in assets. There are many people who have begged him, borrowed money, and wanted him to work in the company. There are all kinds of things.

.

It's okay to borrow money. In any case, it's his own behavior. Even if these relatives don't repay, he will only lose his own principal. But arranging to work in the company is beyond his control.

If he does something outrageous again, he will definitely be the first to be implicated.

Moreover, from Xinsheng Holdings, Ruibos Holdings, and then to the following companies, Li Weidong has no relatives or family members.

These companies are all owned by Li Weidong, or are controlled by him. It is said that he has the greatest say. He has not arranged for family members to join the company. What qualifications do other people have, what are their reasons, and how can they let their family members work in the company with peace of mind.

Therefore, Zheng Sijing could only refuse the requests of these people. This kind of rejection would naturally be rewarded accordingly. He was ungrateful and did not care about his relatives. Sometimes Zheng Sijing, who had always believed in traditional Chinese culture, was very annoyed, but he had nowhere to vent.

Li Weihong got what he wanted and walked towards his nephew and niece who were learning to ride horses with a smile.

Seeing Li Weihong leave, Ma Ruilong hesitated and followed. Zheng Sijing chased Li Weidong here. He obviously didn't want to race with Li Weidong. He must have something serious to say.

Ma Ruilong plays a role in this equestrian club, but he is nothing in front of Li Weidong and Zheng Sijing. Naturally, he does not have the qualifications to participate.

Didn't you see Li Weihong hiding? If he hadn't left unconsciously, he might have been kicked out by others.

"Chairman, Mr. Zheng, you guys chat, I'll go over there and take a look!" Ma Ruilong said proactively.

Li Weidong nodded to him, and Zheng Sijing also smiled at him. In ancient times, he should be regarded as an equestrian teacher for young princes. His income was not high and his status was not high, but he could interact with the boss.

After Ma Ruilong left, Li Weidong and Zheng Sijing urged their horses to jog on the track without saying a word.

Li Weidong and Zou Yi had a smooth conversation, and Zou Yi expressed his full support for Li Weidong's decision.

But this doesn't mean that Zheng Sijing doesn't have other ideas. Even if he agrees to Li Weidong's request, will he have any grudges in his heart?

This matter not only involves the issue of salary, but also involves the issue of power transition, from a certain person to the executive level of the company, ending this dependence.

Of course, if Zheng Sijing has different ideas, Li Weidong can do without him, or simply ignore him, but Li Weidong is a person who misses old friendships and still hopes that this matter will go smoothly.

"Chairman, I very much agree with your decision to spin off several investment companies!" After a while, Zheng Sijing broke the silence between the two.

Li Weidong glanced at him without saying anything, and motioned for him to continue speaking. This situation usually has a but, and even if there is no but, there will be other twists and turns.

This is called suppressing desire before promoting it!

Zheng Sijing organized his words and continued: "The current business scope of Jingwei Investment is too wide. In the past few years, we have invested in companies in almost every industry!"

"You once said that no matter what industry, the principles of investment are the same. There are only two types of investment, one is profitable and the other is not profitable. Jingwei Investment only invests in profitable investments!"

"Your words have always inspired the colleagues of Jingwei Investment and have always been the goal of Jingwei Investment. They are the most important part of Jingwei Investment's corporate culture!"

Li Weidong raised his eyebrows. This kind of compliment made Li Weidong a little embarrassed. It felt like he was holding back his big move.

"Old Zheng, have we known each other for a long time?" Li Weidong said pointedly. We are all old acquaintances. If you have something to say, just say it directly. There is no need to pave the way!

Zheng Sijing looked embarrassed. He naturally knew what Li Weidong meant and smiled awkwardly.

Then he continued: "Chairman, with all due respect, although investment is still divided into profitable and unprofitable investments, today's venture capital is no longer just that!"

"Today's investment not only requires investment managers to understand finance, accounting, and market things, but they also need to have a certain knowledge reserve about the industry in which the company is investing."

"The requirements for investment managers are too high. After all, people's energy is limited. If they are always in the cross-border state you mentioned, the pressure on investment managers can be imagined!"

"Do you want to set up an investment company based on industry?" Li Weidong asked with a frown.

"...!" Zheng Sijing wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Weidong shaking his head before he could speak.

"This is unrealistic. The boundaries of science will become deeper and deeper in the future. It is nonsense to rely on investors to understand these things!"

"Do you understand silicon wafers, do you understand photolithography machines, do you understand chip circuits? You don't understand these, but it still doesn't prevent you from participating in SMIC's groundbreaking ceremony!"

Although Zheng Sijing was used to Li Weidong's way of speaking, he still looked embarrassed. Fortunately, no one else heard him.

"We don't need to understand too deeply, we just need to have relevant professional knowledge reserves so that we don't understand these industries at all!" Zheng Sijing explained.

"That's not easy. In ancient times, it was said that there were three hundred and sixty industries. Now there are more industries. How can it be possible to set up a company? Even if it is classified according to major industries, there are still more than a dozen!"

"Some industries have bright investment prospects, and everyone must want to do it. Naturally, there are also sunset industries. Whoever you ask to do it, when we choose a partner, we should focus on his comprehensive ability, not professional ability!"

"For example, family background, academic background, and the ability to deal with people, whether it can bring benefits to the company, professional knowledge is the least important part. Of course, it is better to have relevant knowledge background, but it is not fatal if it is not available!"

Zheng Sijing heard Li Weidong's words and thought about it, "Chairman, I think both Xinsheng Holdings and Ruibos Holdings are investment companies in a strict sense!"

Li Weidong nodded and expressed his approval. He controls other companies through these two companies. In fact, these two companies are investment companies in nature.

"Recently, according to your instructions, I started to check whether there are any system loopholes within the company, and at the same time, I also laid the foundation for the establishment of the business department!" Zheng Sijing continued.

"According to my understanding, the operation of these business units is more like equity investment, and whether it is Peking Capital or Jingwei Investment, it is more like venture capital!"

Li Weidong pulled the reins of the horse and turned to look at Zheng Sijing. This was not a hidden secret. These vice presidents all had certain guesses about Li Weidong's thoughts, and the key was quite accurate.

Li Weidong has no intention of betraying anyone. This is what he thinks. Venture capital belongs to venture capital, equity belongs to equity, and promising things belong to the company's business department management.

Zheng Sijing didn't say anything else, but Li Weidong also understood what he meant. Since we already have an equity investment business unit, it wouldn't hurt to become several venture capital companies that echo the business units!

Moreover, such a venture capital company would be easier to control, but Li Weidong has not yet figured out why Zheng Sijing thinks this way. Could it be that he is simply contributing to the company's reform!

Li Weidong said nothing, pulled the reins, raised his whip, and said loudly: "Drive!"

The horse under Li Weidong's butt rushed out quickly and galloped on the track, and some cold spring wind blew into Li Weidong's face.

Zheng Sijing looked at Li Weidong's reaction. Based on his understanding of his boss, he should have heard it. As for Li Weidong's final choice, it can only depend on God's will.

Li Weidong's idea is not easy to change, so it is better to follow Li Weidong's thinking. Since Jingwei Investment and Peking Capital are to be separated, it is better to do it completely.

After running around the racecourse for several times, Li Weidong's horse began to pant heavily. Although it still had the energy to continue running, its speed had been greatly reduced.

Li Weidong jumped off the horse, handed the reins to the staff who had caught up, patted the horse's neck to show intimacy, and then let the staff take the horse to eat, drink, relax and sleep.

At this time, Li Weihong was still giving tireless guidance to the two children, standardizing various movements, with a serious expression like a teacher.

The two children still maintain enough enthusiasm and study very seriously. Under the protection of several staff, they practice various horse riding movements and sitting postures. Now they have practiced the posture of turning over on the horse to be extraordinary!

"Teacher Li's level is very high and his movements are spot on. If he were younger, he would definitely have no problem becoming a professional racer!" Ma Ruilong said flatteringly when he saw Li Weidong coming over.

"It's okay for her to practice casually. If she was really trained as a racer, she would have stretched her hips long ago!" Li Weidong shook his head and said, in fact, he would not allow his sister to become a racer.

Li Weidong doesn't look down on these types of racers, on the contrary, he admires them for their unyielding and self-improvement sportsmanship.

It's okay to practice and develop your temperament. If you want to turn him into a professional, Li Weidong will definitely oppose it.

If you regard him as a means of making a living, you will lose the sportsmanship of self-improvement, and it can only be reduced to a simple "rice plan", just to make a living, without any mention of being noble or bringing glory to the country.

Ma Ruilong did not dare to refute Li Weidong's words, so he could only laugh a few times along with him. Who knows whether the boss is being modest or really expressing his intention? It would be embarrassing if he made a mistake!

Li Weidong looked at the deserted racecourse and always felt that it was a waste of resources. Thousands of acres of land could only be used for fun by a few of them, which was too luxurious.

"How many members are there now?" Li Weidong asked casually.

"So far, the club has thirty-seven main card members, plus the supplementary cards issued to their families, there are a total of ninety-one active members!" Ma Ruilon said quickly.

"Why are there only these few people? You need to develop more members, otherwise when will your horse farm reach financial viability?" Li Weidong said disdainfully.

Ma Ruilong felt a bit toothache after hearing this. This is not my club. It is obviously yours, okay?

And he hasn't said that most of the thirty-seven main card members are senior executives of Xinsheng Holdings, or people who are inextricably related to Li Weidong.

"No, although there are a few fewer Thirty-Seven main card members, the weather is so good today and this weekend, why don't we see anyone coming?" Li Weidong asked again without waiting for Ma Ruilong's answer.

"Chairman, we have an appointment system here. You need to make an appointment before coming. I knew that Mr. Liu was coming today, so I didn't accept the appointment. Besides, we don't have many horses!"

Ma Ruilon's voice became smaller and smaller. His words seemed to evade responsibility, but they were all true!

"How can this work? Isn't this driving customers away? What is the ratio of members to horses under normal circumstances? You write a report and apply, and I will invest some money!"

"We can't afford our expensive breeds, but we can still afford the domestic fine breeds. Buy a few more horses. I would rather let the horses idle than let the customers wait for them!"

When Ma Ruilong heard Li Weidong's words, he didn't hesitate to thunder, it was simply the sound of nature!

He knew that Li Weidong's original purpose of setting up this racecourse was for children to practice and play. He also knew that Li Weidong didn't like this industry at all, and he never mentioned the intention of developing it in front of Li Weidong.

Unexpectedly, one of my words of truth today could be exchanged for Li Weidong's investment in the racecourse. His career is about to take off!

"Okay, Chairman, I'm going to write the application report right now!" Ma Ruilong said excitedly, as if these couldn't express his heart, and added, "Chairman, don't worry, I will definitely develop more high-quality members, and I will definitely develop more high-quality members as soon as possible.

Make the club profitable!”

Now that Ma's problem is solved, he is not afraid of expanding membership. This is Qizhou, the top circle in Handong. Who doesn't want to squeeze in and have a look.

"It doesn't matter whether it's profitable or not, as long as you can survive on your own, the main thing is that such a large piece of land, just sitting idle like this is the biggest waste!" Li Weidong shook his head and said.

Since he has occupied this land, it is estimated that he will not be able to build a wetland park in the future. He must use it, otherwise it will be a real waste.

"Yes, I remember the price of this piece of land was just over 10 million, which is just a piece of swamp land. Otherwise, there would be no door at this price. The price of land has risen so much now!" Zheng Sijing also sighed with emotion.
