Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 567 Supervise yourself

"Sister Ding, are you and the security guards still getting their wages from Ribos Holdings?" Li Weidong asked curiously.

This is his own nanny, as well as several security guards who are responsible for the safety of the villa. Their usual tasks are basically to maintain the normal operation of the villa and not to be targeted and destroyed by some criminals.

"Mr. Li, it's not the case anymore. We signed a contract with the Wynn Building Property Management Company a few years ago, and now we receive wages from them!" Sister Ding replied softly.

It turned out that he signed a contract with Ribos Holdings, which was almost a direct contract with Li Weidong. After all, Li Weidong was the legal representative of Ribos Holdings. When the contract expired, a property company signed the contract for them.

Although Sister Ding didn't know the specific connection between this property company and Ribos Holdings, the content of the work remained unchanged and her salary was not reduced, so she didn't think much about it. In fact, there was no other choice!

But now Rebos Holdings suddenly became popular, which caught her by surprise!

In the past, she only knew that Li Weidong was very rich. After all, he could afford such a luxurious villa, own a luxury yacht, and have luxury cars, so he was definitely not short of money.

Even those people who occasionally come to Li Weidong to report work can sometimes be seen in newspapers, and the accompanying reports are about tens of millions or hundreds of millions of business cooperation.

You can tell with your fingernails that Li Weidong's status is unusual and he must have a lot of money.

It's just that the recent news shocked Sister Ding. Not only does Ribos Holdings control assets of over 100 billion US dollars, but the company is also owned by Li Weidong personally.

Since the boss she has served for so many years is the richest man in the world, he is several ranks higher than the rich man next door with the same surname Li.

Does this also mean that she is also a top figure in the nanny circle?

It's quite impressive when you think about it. After all, there are so many nannies, and she is the only one who can work as a nanny for the world's richest man!

"Oh, so, has the salary changed?" Li Weidong asked again.

This should be a property management company directly affiliated with Rebos Holdings, and it is probably the property company that serves the Wynn Tower.

"No, no, it's the same as before, no less, and you can get red envelopes during holidays!" Sister Ding said with a smile.

Li Weidong paused and asked in surprise: "There has been no salary increase for so many years?"

In Qizhou, Sister Yan also worked as a nanny for her for several years. Although the salary is not as good as that in Hong Kong Island, there will be varying degrees of increase every year.

As the economy develops and prices rise, wages must also rise. Even if they cannot rise faster than the rate of economic development, they must exceed inflation.

Despite the rapid development of social economy, wages have not increased. Isn’t this a hooliganism?

Sister Ding knew that she had misunderstood Li Weidong's meaning, but seeing Li Weidong's expression, she didn't know how to answer the question.

In recent years, Hong Kong Island has been affected by the financial turmoil, and wages in many industries have declined to varying degrees, with some declines even exceeding 20%.

Moreover, her salary is much higher than the median income in Hong Kong Island, and she is already a relatively high-income group in Hong Kong Island.

The most important thing is that Li Weidong's family has not lived in Hong Kong Island for a long time. In the eyes of many people, it would be a shame not to be fired, including herself.

Even though, like most workers in Hong Kong, she can accept the decline in income, why would she have the nerve to ask for a wage increase?

Seeing that Sister Ding was silent, Li Weidong knew that there might not have been a salary increase in the past few years, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood what was going on.

He made an empiricist error. He only thought about the economic development speed and inflation rate of the mainland and ignored these data on Hong Kong Island.

In fact, in the past few years, the development speed of Hong Kong Island has not been fast. On the contrary, it has been very slow. Especially after the outbreak of the financial crisis, it had a great impact on this financial city.

According to data, the economic growth rate that year was negative, and even erased the high-speed growth of output value that year.

Judging from this year's latest data, Hong Kong Island's economic growth rate last year was only a few percent, which is almost equivalent to Hong Kong Island's three years of work being in vain.

This is the charm and destructive power of free financial markets. It can make you rich overnight, or it can make you poor overnight.

Especially in a city like Hong Kong Island, whenever a financial crisis occurs in a mainstream country in the world, even fluctuations will have an impact on its economic growth.

Since this is the case, Li Weidong can't force others to raise their wages. He has to take care of the company's normal management procedures.

They are not the only ones in the company. If the salary is increased, they will definitely increase it. Otherwise, they will break the rules and make it difficult for their subordinates to do their jobs.

You can't say that their hard work is rewarded. This is not true. If you can get a salary increase if you are so idle, do we people also need to get a salary increase?

"I have worked hard for you these past few years. If you have any difficulties, just tell me directly and don't be heretical!" Li Weidong said calmly.

But these words were like thunder in Sister Ding's ears. This was a kind of promise, and getting Li Weidong's promise was much more meaningful than a salary increase.

"Thank you Mr. Li, Mrs. Li!" Sister Ding thanked her more respectfully and sincerely.

When Li Weidong and his wife went downstairs, their two children were playing happily in the living room.

When I came to Hong Kong Island, except for a few days of exploring at sea, I basically stayed in the villa for the rest of the time.

Fortunately, the villa is relatively large and has a huge back garden. There are many rare and inexpensive plants in the garden, which is probably comparable to Mr. Zhou's Herb Garden.

This has become a place for the two children to explore and check in. They can discover new things every day. The two young children are full of interest in this herb garden, which is much richer than their life in Qizhou.

There is also a huge outdoor swimming pool in the yard, which is also a playground for them to play games.

This swimming pool was built when Li Rui was born. Not long after it was built, the family moved away from Hong Kong Island.

Later, when I came to Hong Kong Island, I lived less and less, and it was basically not used. However, there were dedicated people who maintained it regularly, and it was well maintained.

Now it finally comes in use. At noon when the weather is relatively hot, the two children can play freely inside.

In short, as long as you don't have to go to school or do homework when you come here, it's paradise.

Watching the two children playing and quarreling in the living room, he was very energetic, but Li Weidong felt that he still owed the two children something.

Although they can enjoy a rich material life, they are also destined to have few friends of the same age, and thus lose the fun with their peers.

Even if there are children of the same age, with Li Weidong's identity, these two children will definitely be treated differently in school.

Their children go to government-run kindergartens and government-run primary schools. You can tell the difference by just hearing the names of the schools.

The education the children here have received since childhood is different from ordinary children. They are too mature and sophisticated!

"Hurry up and eat!" Liu Jinhui said as she walked down the stairs after seeing the two children making such a fuss.

"I've finished washing a long time ago, and I'm just waiting for you to start dinner!" Li Rui ran over to meet Liu Jinhui, took her hand, and said with a smile.

It is said that the middle child in the family is the most observant and the most knowledgeable about what is going on. This phenomenon is vividly displayed in their family.

Generally speaking, Li Qian is relatively showy and reserved. He doesn't talk much, but he has something in his heart.

This kind of inner show may also be directed at others, parents. When he and Shen Yueying are together, the two of them seem to have endless things to talk about.

Shen Yueying would tell her everything to her grandma, which made Shen Yueying very proud. Her grandson did not see it in vain!

Compared to Li Qian's reserved personality, Li Rui's personality is more lively and cheerful, and he has a sweet mouth.

Even if she is criticized by Liu Jinhui, she can quickly find an entry point and make her parents happy.

Several people were eating lunch around the table, and the two children were chattering about what they had seen in the Baicao Garden and some adventure experiences.

What makes them both happy is that today they found a bird's nest on a tree outside the backyard wall, but it hasn't hatched yet.

Even so, it was enough to comfort Li Rui's regret of not being able to bring about the pair of turtle doves at home.

Small animals can fly or go through customs, but these things require quarantine certificates. Li Weidong was in such a hurry that he couldn't take care of these.

And they didn't plan to leave for too long this time, so they naturally left the two turtledoves at home and asked others to take care of them.

"Be careful, don't run around, be careful of snakes!" Liu Jinhui reminded.

"It's okay. I've already let Ding Yuan and the others take a look. Even if there were real snakes, they would have been scared away by these two children!" Li Weidong waved his hand and said.

"What you said is easy. There are many venomous snakes here. Yesterday there was a report that someone was bitten by a venomous snake while running up the mountain. Fortunately, he was treated in time!"

"Then you really need to be careful. I'll ask Lao Ding to buy some realgar later and sprinkle it in the grass to make sure that everyone's original shape appears!"

"You must have watched too many TV series. The White Snake showed her true form not because of the realgar, but because she drank too much!" Liu Jinhui said with disdain.

"Wine would be easier to handle. We have plenty of wine at home, including red, yellow, white, and green!" Li Weidong said nonchalantly.

He really got the knowledge about snakes being afraid of realgar wine from TV series, and Li Wei believed that most people learned it from this.

"Not to mention, it seems that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, so you really need to buy some realgar wine. Drinking realgar wine will make the disease go away!"

"I don't dare to drink it. I don't know whether the disease will go away. If you drink a few more bowls, you will definitely go away. That's arsenic!" Liu Jinhui continued to correct this knowledge point.

The main component of realgar is arsenic sulfide, and arsenic is the main component of arsenic. Realgar is almost equal to arsenic.

"You're good at chemistry, right? Look, you show off!" Li Weidong counterattacked.

"This is the importance of knowledge. What can children learn by playing at home every day?"

Li Qian and Li Rui probably never dreamed that there would be a gun lying down in this place. They hurriedly lowered their heads to eat, making sure not to let the fire burn themselves.

After eating, they ran directly to bed to prepare for a nap without any urging. These are things that they are usually forced to do.

After Li Weidong had eaten, he felt that he still needed to arrange for Ding Yuan to check the backyard to ensure that there were no venomous snakes that could harm the child.

Even being frightened is not good.

Li Weidong came to the place where Ding Yuan and the others were on duty, and several people were chatting.

When several people saw Li Weidong coming, they quickly stood up and greeted Li Weidong.

Li Weidong walked into the room, and Ding Yuan moved a chair over and asked Li Weidong to sit down.

"What are you talking about? Are you so excited?"

"Just talking nonsense, I just saw a piece of news in the newspaper. Someone in your hometown sued Telecom. They paid 1,000 yuan for installation during the installation. Now they have to charge 12 yuan for out-of-boundary line maintenance fees every month. They

I thought this charge was unreasonable, so I filed a lawsuit with the county’s telecommunications management department!”

"How did you sue? Go to court?" Li Weidong was a little curious.

"Where can I go to the court? Go to the provincial telecommunications management department!" Ding Yuan said with a smile.

"Isn't this nonsense? We belong to the same family, and if you can win the lawsuit, what's the point of their face!"

"That's the reason. Now I've given you a reply. The charges are reasonable!" Ding Yuan spread his hands and said helplessly.

Li Weidong nodded. This result is not difficult to guess. Not to mention a group of powerless rural people, even the elites of today's society can only accept their fate.

Some time ago, there was a similar incident that was highly hyped on the Internet and in major media.

More than 100 professors from Zhejiang University jointly complained to the telecommunications management department, asking them to explain the short-term call billing phenomenon.

Judging from their call records, many of the calls lasted only a few seconds. This call duration may also be the ringing time of the unanswered call.

This kind of charging behavior is obviously unreasonable. Even if you think about it with your fingernails, you can see the fishiness in it.

More than 100 professors from Zhejiang University jointly complained. Professors are definitely the elite in society, and their influence is evident.

So this matter quickly attracted everyone's attention, but the final test results were shocking!

Everything is fine!

Now, the telecommunications sector has become the aggrieved party, and even got an advantage and behaved well. Since it has been announced in a high-profile manner: Even if one ten thousandth of the problem is theirs, they will not avoid it. They must have the courage to face the problem head-on!

This high-profile statement was quickly "recognized" by some media and even sang its praises.

This matter will be settled.

However, in later generations, a very famous Internet celebrity principal mentioned this matter many times and promoted it as a feat of fighting injustice in life.

In this matter, Li Weidong could only express his admiration for the professor's courage. He did not have the courage to participate.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot continue like this. Now that China Mobile has been established, the future Tietong is also being formed.

These two companies are absolute troublemakers. Not only did they significantly reduce the phone installation fee until it was zero, they even waived the monthly rent!

Later, the most unreasonable call duration of three minutes was completely changed to one minute.

Of course, these are all things for later. If this situation is to be changed now, it is estimated that there is still a long way to go. If you want to take out the money you put in your pocket, it is not an ordinary difficulty.

Moreover, fundamentally speaking, this is a matter for you to supervise yourself. If nothing goes wrong, something will happen!

Otherwise, where would tens of billions of profits a year come from? Li Weidong wanted to get involved, but he was only envious if they didn't grant him a license!
