Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 614 Reward

The two talked again. Ding Yuan knew that Li Weidong wanted to rest, so he went out of the yard. Li Weidong didn't bother to get up and go back to the room. He flattened the wicker chair under his buttocks and turned it into a recliner, lying on it comfortably.

Li Weidong opened his eyes slightly. When the breeze blew, occasionally a ray of sunlight would be reflected on Li Weidong's face through the leaves above.

Although this kind of sunlight was not as harsh and dazzling as the direct sunlight, it still made Li Weidong's eyes a little uncomfortable. Li Weidong casually picked up a large cattail leaf fan on the table to cover his face.

Listening to the chirping of cicadas on the trees and the tinkling of the spring water next to me, I breathed slowly and steadily.

When he woke up again, he was woken up by some naughty children. Li Weidong glanced at his watch and roughly estimated that he had only slept for ten minutes.

There is still time before going to work, but I have lost my sleepiness. It would be uncomfortable to force myself to sleep again, so I might as well not sleep at all.

Li Weidong yawned and said angrily to several children: "Stop playing games, your eyes will be damaged!"

No need to think about it, these children must be going to play games again!

Gao Haiyan flattered Li Weidong and assured him: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of them!"

Li Weidong laughed angrily. The child's temper was getting more and more outrageous, and he didn't know which gene he inherited. "I'm talking about you. I think you are older and you play more!"

"Hey, uncle, we're going to start school soon. Even if we don't have time to play, how long can we play, don't you think?" Gao Haiyan continued to say with a smile.

Li Weidong asked: "You still know that school is about to start, have you finished your homework? Don't wait for the last few days to launch a surprise attack?"

"I finished it a long time ago. Not only did I finish it, but I also overfulfilled the task. My aunt was so good to us that she was afraid that we wouldn't be able to learn it, so she even asked two teachers for guidance!" Gao Haiyan said helplessly.

They came here thinking they could escape the nightmare of being forced to do homework and study by their parents, but who would have thought that their good days were completely gone.

I just came here for a few days and it was very comfortable. I had a lot of fun riding horses, archery, taekwondo, swimming, fishing and golf.

But his dear aunt suddenly wanted to see their summer homework. Summer homework is usually written last, or it is simply torn up by younger siblings, or more shamelessly, it is told to the teacher directly and lost.

Naturally, their homework did not satisfy their aunt, and the final result was that several teachers were hired to take turns watching them, not only doing homework, but also making up lessons.

Although there is only half a day every day, they have to get up early in the morning to read and do morning exercises, which is just like going to school. They are so happy that they almost run home!

My parents originally thought it was not good to stay here and wanted them to go back as soon as possible, but after hearing this, they didn't even mention letting them go back.

It's great here. There are people watching over you while you study. You don't have to worry about going out to fool around. There are bodyguards following you either openly or covertly whenever you go out. You can still study safely, so why not!

Li Weidong wanted to laugh inexplicably when he looked at him, so he asked with a smile: "Not happy?"

"I am happy, I must be happy!" Gao Haiyan nodded quickly. If he said he was not happy, his uncle would definitely nag him for a long time until they were convinced.

"As long as you are happy!" Li Weidong was very satisfied. He liked to see others pretending to be convinced even though they were obviously very unhappy.

Seeing that his uncle had let him go, Gao Haiyan quickly apologized and went to the room to play games.

"Do you want to go to the capital with me to play?" Li Weidong said to Gao Haiyan, who was about to turn around.

"Think about it!" Gao Haiyan said simply. He had been to the capital many times, but he still wanted to go. The key was to go out and have fun, so he didn't have to study.

"Then I'll give you a holiday, and I'll also give your grandma and grandpa a holiday. I'll take you to the capital tomorrow!" Li Weidong said brightly, and the children were extremely happy.

After Li Weidong finished speaking, he did not enter the house. He went directly out of the corner door of the yard and entered the temporary office in his backyard.

The staff in the backyard did not expect Li Weidong to come so early. Several of them had just finished eating and were resting. They sat together chatting, arguing and laughing.

It can be seen from the laughter that although they work beside Li Weidong and accompany him like a tiger, the working atmosphere is not too depressing.

By the time they saw Li Weidong, he had already passed through the screen door and entered the second courtyard, and was looking in their direction!

Chen Jun was sitting directly opposite the second door. He was talking happily with his colleagues when he looked up and saw Li Weidong. He was so frightened that he quickly stood up and walked out.

"Hello, Chairman!" Chen Jun greeted respectfully.

Li Weidong smiled and waved his hand to signal him not to be nervous. This was the lunch break, not working time.

"What are you talking about? Are you so happy?" Li Weidong asked with a kind look.

"Everyone mentioned the Sydney Olympics just now and discussed how many medals we can get this time and where we rank?" Chen Jun did not dare to deceive Li Weidong, so he had to speak honestly.

"Oh, the discussion started before it even started. It seems that everyone is very enthusiastic!" Li Weidong smiled knowingly and asked: "What did you come up with during the discussion? Can you tell me?"

It's not yet time to go to work, and Li Weidong is happy to interact with everyone.

Chen Jun didn't know what Li Weidong meant, so he laughed and said: "Everyone just guesses, it's not accurate!"

Li Weidong smiled slightly and motioned for him to continue.

Chen Jun could only say: "Everyone guessed that we were fourth last time. If we work hard this time, we may be able to advance one place. To be conservative, we should still be fourth, but we should have more gold medals!"

Li Weidong smiled and said: "Well, it is indeed a bit conservative. With our current level, I think we can surpass Germany and get third place. There is no suspense. As for whether we can be second, it depends on luck!"

Li Weidong couldn't remember how many gold medals China won at the Sydney Olympics in his previous life, but he knew that he was third in medals.

“Although the Olympic Games is a sport, it is actually a competition of comprehensive national strength. Only when the country is strong and the people are rich, with more energy, strength and financial resources, can we have more advanced training equipment and more scientific training methods.

With the results and our system, it’s not a big problem!”

Li Weidong continued, of course, these are all nonsense, only the last sentence is the key point. Sometimes it is not the opponents who put pressure on them, but their superiors.

"The chairman's analysis is incisive. We have been discussing for a long time with no results, just because we didn't get to the point!" Chen Jun complimented.

Others also followed suit, but they were not as natural and shameless as Chen Jun. These staff members could usually see Li Weidong, but after all, they did not have the opportunity to report on their work.

Li Weidong thought for a moment and then said: "Call Zou Yi, Mr. Zou, and ask her to take out a sum of funds from the company's account to reward the athletes who participated in this Olympics and won the prize!"

Li Weidong paused and continued: "The Huo family rewards the Olympic champion with one kilogram of gold and 80,000 U.S. dollars, which amounts to 700,000 to 800,000 U.S. dollars!"

"We don't have to go to such trouble. Direct cash rewards are too much. It's not good to have too many. The gold medal is one million, the silver medal is half a million, the bronze medal is 20, let's make up the total of 300,000!"

At this time, the stardom of athletes has not yet spread. As for endorsements, they have just begun. Most athletes' income is only participation fees, wages and awards. It is not yet the case that future generations can live with one endorsement for a lifetime.

And at this time, one million is not a small amount, and it is quite attractive. Of course, Li Weidong can also use the money to make a gimmick. Even if the bonus is zero, it is still a small amount of money for Li Weidong.

Just doing this will lose the meaning of the reward itself. Don't make the material rewards too outrageous. Leave some space for the "sense of honor" for spiritual rewards. Both material civilization and spiritual civilization must be grasped.

"Yes, I'll call Mr. Zou right now!" Chen Jun said with some envy.

As long as he can get a medal, the reward will exceed his salary for a year, how can he not be enviable?

It's just that not everyone can be an official, knowledge can't be done by picking one's head, and sports can't be done by just finding someone. This is someone's talent, and I can't envy you!

In fact, Li Weidong had some special intentions when he used the money to reward these people.

When the final vote was taken to determine the city to host the Olympics, Beijing was bound to win, and even the live broadcast was prepared. However, it ended up being a joke to more than a billion people, and it ended up losing by two votes!

Li Weidong knew there was something fishy going on at the time, but he was in the process of acquiring Skoda's shares at the time, and he kept his mouth shut. He had no real evidence and no way to do it.

So much so that when Li Weidong later took the risk to go to the Black Sea Shipyard to purchase the controversial aircraft carrier that had been suspended, he was somewhat affected by this incident.

Therefore, Li Weidong and the Olympic Games formed a fate at that time. If he doesn't do something now, it will always feel a bit regretful!

If he stimulates it a little bit, it would be good for a certain athlete to perform exceptionally and get better results!
