Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 552 Gossip

Zheng Sijing's words may not mean anything at all, but they are said without intention and the listener has intention, but they have different meanings in Ma Ruilong's ears.

With more than 10 million yuan to buy land, plus the cost of ground leveling, track paving, turf planting, and buildings, Li Weidong's investment in this racecourse is huge.

But now there are only a few dozen members, and the possibility of repaying the capital is slim. Being able to break even requires a stroke of luck.

Therefore, Zheng Sijing's words made Ma Ruilong look embarrassed and sounded somewhat ironic.

Fortunately, Li Weidong doesn't care. In his opinion, profit or not is not the goal. The key is to give himself and his family a place to relax.

Such a large grassland, unlimited access to nature, and riding horses, this is more important than anything else!

Li Weidong walked up to the child and asked with a smile: "How are you studying? When can you run a few laps?"

"You think you have learned how to ride a horse. You must first communicate with it. People and horses must be familiar with each other. The most important thing is to practice the basic movements well!" Li Weihong corrected with semi-professional knowledge.

Li Weidong shook his head and said: "It's not that strenuous. You can walk up there for a few laps and you'll be good at it. It should be easier than riding a bicycle!"

When Li Weidong was learning, the horse trainer only took Li Weidong for a few laps, and then Li Weidong could ride independently.

Li Weihong said disdainfully: "You can learn to ride that way, but if you want to ride beautifully and look good, and if you want to achieve results, it will be difficult!"

"For example, if you learn to swim, you can throw yourself into the water and you can splash twice after a while. You can also learn to dog paddle, and you can slowly swim a few laps!"

"For example, if you want to swim elegantly, handsomely, smoothly and effortlessly, there is basically no chance!"

"And once you learn how to dog paddle, it is more difficult to practice standard movements than to learn it from scratch. Even if you change it, the deep-rooted marks will never be changed!"

"I don't want my eldest nephew and eldest niece to be satisfied with just riding two laps. We want to practice and achieve results!" Li Weihong said with some pride.

Li Weidong was naturally dissatisfied with this theory of cause and effect, so he said: "What's the result? I'm just practicing for fun, not relying on this to make a living!"

Li Weihong frowned and said: "Your attitude is wrong. If this is the case, I will say something!"

"Since childhood, we have learned a lot of things, but how many of them are really useful and can be used as a livelihood? Can we not take these useless things seriously?"

"The two of them also learn taekwondo, art, piano, swimming, and fencing. Will they rely on these to survive in the future?"

Li Weidong nodded in approval of Li Weihong's words. If his son and daughter have to rely on these skills to make a living, then he, the richest man, has failed too much.

Li Weihong continued: "Learning these skills is not just for them to know how to do it, but to exercise their concentration, willpower, and cultivate perseverance. These..."

"Yes, yes, you're right, let them practice, and I'll go to the lounge to take a rest!" Li Weidong shook his head quickly and said.

Li Weidong is much richer in this kind of truth than Li Weihong. After all, his children also faced such problems in his previous life, but now he continues to listen to Li Weihong and his mind is buzzing.

He just said it casually, who would want to cause Li Weihong to make a long speech.

Li Weidong fled, and the two children continued to practice basic movements under the supervision of Li Weihong and under the guidance of several coaches.

In fact, these basic actions will make many children who are originally interested in learning lose the fun of learning.

Ma Ruilong took Li Weidong to the lounge next to him to rest. The large lounge had no other guests except Li Weidong and it seemed deserted.

I guess this is because I knew Liu Jinhui was coming, and there should be some guests on weekdays.

Li Weidong looked at the deserted surroundings. Except for the waiters, they were their own people. He said with a smile: "We don't need to be like this in the future. When we come to the club, you will stop business. There will be no income. In the end, this account will have to be recorded on my head. I

It’s not unfair!”

Marilong hesitated for a moment, then nodded in response.

In fact, the closure is only one aspect, the main reason is that their reception capacity is insufficient, there are only a dozen horses in total, and Li Weidong's family's horses cannot be moved casually.

There are only about a dozen horses that can accommodate other members, and they can basically only accommodate a few groups of people a day.

Ma Ruilong said: "Chairman, you can rest assured that as the number of horses increases, our reception capacity will gradually increase, and it is only a matter of time before we achieve profitability!"

"Then I'll wait and see!" Li Weidong said with a smile. He would neither disbelieve nor fully believe what these subordinates said.

Li Weidong found a place to sit by the glass window, where he could see the two children practicing.

There were only two children, but there were four or five coaches. This kind of treatment made Li Weidong shake his head.

Having too many masters is not necessarily a good thing, especially when there is Li Weihong standing by to make irresponsible remarks!

As soon as Li Weidong sat down, the waiter in the lounge brought a pot of tea that had just been brewed, and there were corresponding tea sets on the tray.

The waiter glanced at Ma Ruilong, carefully placed it on the table in front of Li Weidong, and was about to pour tea for everyone according to the procedure.

Ma Ruilong made a gesture to let her go away, then picked up the teapot and poured two cups, and gave one cup each to Li Weidong and Zheng Sijing, who was qualified to sit together.

Although there were several tea cups on the tray, Ma Ruilong knew his identity and did not pour himself tea.

Li Weidong picked up the tea cup and sipped it, looking at the performances of the two children outside the window. Fortunately, the coach was relaxed and knew the children's preferences.

After practicing for a while, let the two children get on the horse, and the coach will hold the horse in front, allowing the children to experience the fun of riding.

This is similar to practicing driving. You only practice reversing piles, moving warehouses, and parking on the side, which is too boring. Occasionally running on the road and blowing in the wind can enhance the fun of driving.

Seeing the two children happy, Li Weidong also had a smile on his face.

Then Li Weidong turned his head, looked at Zheng Sijing sitting next to him and said, "The investment method you just mentioned makes sense. If you have time, prepare a plan and give it to me!"

"Okay, I'll make an assessment plan as soon as possible!" Zheng Sijing was slightly excited.

Knowing that Li Weidong and Zheng Sijing were about to talk about business, Ma Ruilong slowly backed away and left quietly, although he had curious thoughts.

Do not see what is inappropriate, do not hear what is inappropriate!

It’s better to be less involved in such a big event!

Not having enough status and knowing too much is not a good thing!

Li Weidong took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Also, the company is planning to set up a business unit to manage these investment companies. What suggestions do you have for the candidate?"

Zheng Sijing was stunned. He had naturally heard about this business unit, as well as the splitting of the investment company.

For the investment management division, Li Weidong has clearly defined the deputy general level. Unlike several other divisions to be established, those few will only enjoy deputy general level treatment.

With two more words, the status is much lower. This is very Chinese!

The meaning is very clear. In addition to their four vice presidents, the company may also add another vice president, but his opinion must be followed in the selection. What does this mean?

This is where Li Weidong has the most power. How could he let others participate?

Zheng Sijing lowered his head and thought, trying hard to recall the people Li Weidong had been in contact with recently, who might have this possibility!

Zheng Sijing thought for a while and finally gave up the opportunity. He couldn't make a mistake if he didn't say anything.

"Chairman, I really didn't think of anyone who is more suitable for this position!"

Some benefits can be fought for, while others require caution, especially when it comes to personnel issues.

He has followed Li Weidong for such a long time, and he has a good understanding of Li Weidong's character. He is very open-minded about money and relatively strict about people.

As long as the reason is right, you can ask for financial benefits at any time. As long as you are worth the price, Li Weidong will generally not reject it.

But Zheng Sijing hasn't dared to test the personnel matters yet. This is where Li Weidong speaks his mind.

Especially for the vice president of this company, who is technically on the same level as him, it is definitely not appropriate for him to recommend!

"You're dishonest!" Li Weidong took another sip of tea and put the teacup on the table. "I'm also making things difficult for you!"

Zheng Sijing didn't say anything, just smiled and offered Li Weidong more tea.

"Since there is no candidate, you should work on it first and communicate the plan with Zou Yi and Lao Xu first!" Li Weidong did not embarrass Zheng Sijing.

In fact, Li Weidong has a candidate, but he hasn't communicated with it yet, so he just pulls him over. It's very disrespectful to take this position.

After all, he is the vice president of the company, so he still needs to be treated with enough respect!

"Me?" Zheng Sijing said in surprise. He thought Li Weidong would say a name, but he didn't expect this result.

"What, is there a problem?" Li Weidong asked.

"No problem!" Zheng Sijing agreed readily. He couldn't fight for it, and naturally he didn't have the right to refuse.

"The company is in a troubled time right now, especially the changes in the organizational structure that involve too many things. It is not easy to smooth out these relationships. I hope you can work together to get this done!"

"As you just said, the company is actually an investment company. The position of the investment department is very important. Straightening this department will be of great benefit to the future organizational structure!"

"I understand what you mean. I will discuss it with Mr. Zou and Mr. Xu soon and we will definitely get this matter done!" Zheng Sijing promised.

Li Weidong picked up the teacup and signaled to Zheng Sijing, who also quickly picked up the teacup.

The two of them drank tea instead of wine, and both took a big sip, as if they were drinking liquor that was the same temperature as the tea!

Li Weidong put down his tea cup and looked out the window. The children were having fun and had a smile on their face again.

I also didn’t forget to say to Zheng Sijing: “I have worked hard for you all these years. Without you, my life would not be so free and leisurely!”

"No, no, no, Chairman, you have given me the award. It is us who should say this. Without you, we would not be so cool and live such a life!"

Zheng Sijing quickly said, this is not modesty, but a fact. He has many classmates and friends, but none of them can reach his height.

It’s not about how smart or hardworking he is, it’s about opportunities and choices!

Choice is more important than hard work. He was lucky to meet Li Weidong, and Zheng Sijing had the opportunity to choose.

But those colleagues, friends, and classmates who are better than him, smarter than him, and more capable than him, do not have the luck of this choice, and in the end they only have to work hard!

Li Weidong smiled and said: "Okay, let's not flatter each other. You serve the company. The company will not treat you badly and will give you whatever it can!"

Zheng Sijing heard what Li Weidong meant, and the matter at the M country branch still made Li Weidong uncomfortable.

The second half of the sentence should be: You can't take what I won't give!

Zheng Sijing couldn't comment on this matter because it was quite sensitive, and it was also an issue involving Zou Yi, so it was hard for him to get involved.

This boundary is very obvious, and both Zheng Sijing and Zou Yi know that this is a way to avoid suspicion in front of Li Weidong.

The two chatted for a while, and then Li Weihong brought brother and sister Li Qian in to rest.

Zheng Sijing also stood up at the right time and said: "Chairman, if there is nothing else, I will go back first?"

Li Weidong also stood up and said: "Go back, it's the weekend, don't think about work all the time, relax properly!"

"The main reason is that the overtime pay you paid is too high and I don't want to take a vacation!" Zheng Sijing said with a smile, then said hello to Li Weihong and Li Qian and left.

Li Weihong sat down where Zheng Sijing had been, picked up an unused teacup from the tray, poured water, and said, "You are such a laid-back boss, even your subordinates come here to report their work!"

"What do you know? The boss spends a lot of money to hire all kinds of O's. The purpose is to free himself to think about strategic issues and do everything personally. This company is destined to not be successful!"

"You are smart!" Li Weihong gave Li Weidong a thumbs up.

Li Qian and Li Rui also sat around the table, eating snacks brought by the waiter and drinking freshly squeezed juice, feeling comfortable.

"Have you investigated him?" Li Weihong looked at Li Weidong, took a sip of tea, and asked suddenly.

Li Weihong put down the tea cup in her hand. She was not used to drinking tea, and drinking tea for women can easily cause pigment accumulation, so she poured herself a cup of freshly squeezed juice.

"Who is being investigated?" Li Weidong said pretending to be stupid.

"It's boring. I dare not admit it. I didn't even say that you invaded my privacy and interfered with my personal freedom!" Li Weihong rolled his eyes and said disdainfully.

Li Weidong said confidently: "Is there anything I dare not admit? Isn't it illegal for me to want to know certain people's information through reasonable channels?"

Li Weihong said in a tone of popularizing legal knowledge: "From a legal perspective, as long as the method of acquisition is not illegal, it is indeed not illegal to collect citizens' published information and not use the information to make profits or commit crimes!"

It is difficult to define the scope and boundaries of published information. What does disclosure mean? Is it announced to the public or to a few people? Are these all disclosures?

"That's it!"

I thought I could see Li Weihong's helpless expression, but it was obviously not the case. Instead, Li Weihong asked with some gossip: "Then you found out something interesting and interesting, can you show it to me?"
