Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 610 Playing with things to lose one’s spirit

The heads of the subsidiaries are not stupid either. Seeing that Li Weidong has a tough attitude, they will naturally not force themselves. Besides, how can you care about the immediate gains and losses in this kind of thing? It will last longer in the future.

Moreover, when the business department debuts for the first time, it naturally has the determination and momentum to succeed or succeed. At this time, the sharp edge is revealed, and there are big bosses pressing the battle, so stay away.

Otherwise, you will get the first shot. Just look at the current situation and you will know how serious the consequences will be. Anyone who does not take it seriously will end up in a bad situation.

Many senior executives were affected. Those who were not capable enough were removed from the company's senior management ranks, and those with financial problems were either fired or kicked out of the company.

The first round ended with the victory of the professional managers of the business unit. However, these professional managers also knew how this victory came. They should not do things too badly and should know how to stop when enough is enough.

In the end, what everyone pursues is balance and win-win, not life and death, and Li Weidong does not allow this.

Moreover, Li Weidong himself is a balancer, helping whoever is weak and suppressing whoever is strong.

At present, this move of the company is not bad, and the general managers of the subsidiaries have also followed the trend and begun to report to the business units and the company.

Li Weidong hopes that after this time of running in, he can be freed from daily things and spend more time thinking about some so-called strategic things such as unrestrained imagination.

But this idea is somewhat extravagant. Although many daily things do not need to be reported to him, it does not mean that these subordinates do not come to see him.

Moreover, the company has many subsidiaries, and Qizhou is the headquarters of the company. The bosses of these subsidiaries come to the head office to report their work, and they always have to visit some big bosses.

Moreover, because of this reform, the power of subsidiaries has been restricted, and more important matters need to be approved by the head office, which in turn makes these bosses come to Qizhou more frequently.

Even though Li Weidong didn't have time to see them, they still didn't want to visit. Besides, if the boss suddenly came and was interested in meeting, it would be an honor for them.

At the beginning, Li Weidong felt that he wanted to give these people some face and show his kind side, so he asked these people to come over and chat. Although they did not talk about work, they could just drink a cup of tea and encourage them, or talk about something big but empty.

things are also good.

But as time went by, Li Weidong discovered that he had more subordinates than he thought. He was also the general manager of the subsidiary. It seemed not good to see this one or not. If he saw them all, it would be much worse than when he was also the general manager before.

Still busy and not free in time!

Doesn't this delay him as the chairman from thinking about the company's development strategy, so he asked the secretary to control the number of people, frequency and time he meets every day within a certain range, so as to free up most of the time to think about major issues.

As for whether he is really thinking about important issues, outsiders don't know. Even the secretary who follows him every day doesn't know what the boss is thinking about every day.

Chen Jun can see that the dozen or so pots of inexpensive green plants kept in the boss's office are getting more and more lush. This is Li Weidong's old hobby.

When Li Weidong has nothing to do, he likes to get some flowers and plants and trim them according to his own ideas. After a while, the originally elegant flowers and trees are beyond recognition.

However, Li Weidong just likes to play around and has no special collecting hobbies. He will not be taken advantage of and spend hundreds of thousands to collect and auction so-called precious flowers and trees. What he breeds at home are also some common varieties in the flower market.

Compared with ordinary people, at most it looks better and the price is a little more expensive, but there is nothing particularly outrageous about the price.

However, in Chen Jun's opinion, the boss is somewhat "losing his mind by playing with things", but naturally he, a secretary, cannot comment.

And when Li Weidong was doing all these flowers and plants, if someone called, he would have to explain it to his boss.

This is understandable. Doing these things when thinking about big things can also help cultivate your sentiments and expand your thinking. Besides, the boss is always right.

Li Weidong was staring at a pot of Monstera deliciosa again today. Unexpectedly, he managed to grow it until it blossomed. Looking at the tender pink flowers, Li Weidong was very satisfied.

I took a watering can and sprayed some water on the monstera that was about to bloom. This is Li Weidong's favorite thing to do, watering and fertilizing, and being a gardener.

Fortunately, when Chen Jun bought these flowers and plants for Li Weidong, he had already considered Li Weidong's habit. Basically, the green plants at home like water.

At this time, Chen Jun walked in, holding a document in his hand, and said softly to Li Weidong: "Chairman, I just received a fax, which is a meeting notice from the Federation of Industry and Commerce!"

Li Weidong took the watering can, looked back at Chen Jun, and asked in confusion: "What happened at the meeting of the Federation of Industry and Commerce?"

Li Weidong is also the vice chairman of the Federation of Industry and Commerce. In Li Weidong's opinion, it is just a status symbol, and there are several vice presidents like him who are private enterprise bosses, so they are worthless!

Of course, this worthlessness is only what he thinks. God knows how many people want to obtain this worthless status.

During normal meetings, Li Weidong rarely speaks. If there is anything that needs to be voted on, he will follow the wishes of the person in charge.

Li Weidong still has this awareness. After all, the charter of the Federation of Industry and Commerce determines the nature of this organization. It would be wrong to talk too much. Just listen to the organization and do the right thing. Don't run counter to the main theme.

"I just received the fax. The specific matter was not mentioned. The time is set for the fourth day. I seem to be very anxious!" Chen Jun also said with some confusion.

The fax rang just now, and then I received something like this. If it weren't for the signature and seal on the fax, Chen Jun would have thought it was fake. We have a meeting on Thursday and today is already Tuesday. Can we not be anxious?

Li Weidong put down the watering can, picked up the fax and took a look at it. The content was simple. There was no reason or agenda for him to participate in the meeting.

This is very formal. The more important the meeting, the more so. Nothing that can be said is important. The important things are often other things.

Just when Li Weidong was about to say something, his cell phone on his desk rang. Chen Jun heard the sound and quickly walked to his desk and gave the phone to Li Weidong.

Then he walked to a place slightly far away from Li Weidong and stood there. Chen Jun had just taken a look at the display screen. It was a landline number in Beijing. He guessed that it was about this.

Without saying a few words, Li Weidong confirmed the identity of the other party and said with a smile: "Secretary-General Cheng, I was just about to call you, but I didn't expect you to call first!"

"..."

Chen Jun didn't know what the other party said, but he could make a rough guess.

Li Weidong continued to smile and said: "I just received the fax, and I was just trying to find someone to ask. You look very anxious?"

The two talked for a while and then heard Li Weidong say: "Oh, I understand what uncle means. Please tell uncle that I will attend on time!"

Li Weidong hung up the phone, walked to his desk, and threw his phone on the table. This was originally his personal phone, but now it has become a work phone.

"Go and collect recent information on investments in the central and western regions, and make statistics on the company and its major subsidiaries' recent investments and planned investment projects in these places!" Li Weidong ordered.

Chen Jun knew in his heart that this should be related to the content of this meeting, and immediately said: "Yes, I will prepare right away!"

Then he turned around and left. There were so many subsidiaries, and it would take time to compile statistics. Although Li Weidong didn't say the deadline, Chen Jun also knew that he didn't have much time.

There is a meeting the day after tomorrow, and Li Weidong will leave tomorrow night at the latest. Before that, he has to summarize the data.

After Chen Jun went out, Li Weidong paced slowly in the large office, thinking about the phone call just now.

The leaders above need to listen to the suggestions and opinions of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce on this matter, so the Federation of Industry and Commerce must urgently hold a meeting to discuss and come up with something that satisfies the leaders above.

The Federation of Industry and Commerce is defined as a non-public economic non-governmental organization, and Li Weidong is the representative of private entrepreneurs in the Federation, so it is natural for him to participate.

When Li Weidong was first selected, he was asked to do this kind of thing. The importance of the non-public economy has become increasingly prominent, and this necessity has become more and more important.

Moreover, Li Weidong has invested tens of billions in this plan. Once these data are presented, it will be very convincing and it is also an achievement of the Federation of Industry and Commerce.

Of course, it is Li Weidong's achievement, so this is not about listening to suggestions and opinions. It is simply a commendation meeting for Li Weidong!

So what Li Weidong has to do now is to summarize these things. This is the supporting evidence.

When Li Weidong went back at noon, he saw a dirty off-road vehicle entering the door and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Thinking that the person who could ask the security guard to open the door and let him in would be an acquaintance, Li Weidong stood in a shady place and waited for a while.

Ding Yuan next to him said in time: "It's Teacher Li!"

"Where did they go? The cars are driving like this!" Li Weidong remembered that when Li Weihong went out, he said he wanted to drive an off-road vehicle, but he didn't pay attention to the specific model.

Ding Yuan exclaimed, "I've been to a lot of places, almost half of China!"

More than a month ago, Li Weihong, with the support of Li Weidong and the reluctant consent of Shen Yueying, started her long-thought-out plan to travel to the motherland.

It’s the end of August now, and it’s time to come back!

She was traveling by herself. Li Weidong was a little worried, so he asked Ding Yuan to arrange for the two of them to travel together. Naturally, he knew their itinerary well.

At this time, the off-road vehicle also arrived in front of Li Weidong, and Li Weihong also stuck his head out of the window and said with a smile: "Brother, it's so grand, you welcome me personally!"

"That's right, when the female version of Xu Xiake comes back, we can't give him a warm welcome!" Li Weidong looked at Li Weihong and joked.

As soon as the car stopped, Li Weihong opened the door and got out of the passenger seat. She didn't pay any attention to Li Weidong's teasing. She was used to it anyway.

Li Weidong looked at his sister who was standing in front of him with a smile. Her face was a little dark and a little red. It was probably that the sunscreen could not withstand the bright sun. There were two distinct colors on the cuffs, which looked distinct.

However, the expression on his face looked very sunny and healthy. I guess this trip of thousands of miles did play a big role, and my soul must have been cleansed.

Li Weidong was very happy to have this result, but he still said: "Tell me, you are a big girl, how do you look like a tanned girl?"

"Dark? I think it's okay. Besides, we have a good foundation. What are we afraid of if we get tanned? I'll be white again after covering it up for two days!" Li Weihong had a good attitude and said indifferently.

Li Weidong smiled and said: "Have you told my mother about coming back? I smell something wrong with today's lunch?"

Li Weihong said helplessly: "Well, originally I planned to come back in a few days, but the old lady called me every day to urge me to come back!"

"I miss you!" Li Weidong agreed.

"That's not true. How can I still know what the old lady is thinking?" Li Weihong said, dumbfounded.
