Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 619 Flattery

The reason for the ten minutes was not that the plane docking point was too far from the terminal, but that Ding Yuan told Li Weidong that many people came outside to pick him up.

Li Weidong looked at the few passengers on the flight and waited for a moment to let other passengers get off the plane first, so as not to disturb the normal flow of passengers for the people picking him up outside. It was a shameful waste of time, and it was even more shameful to waste other people's time.

.

It's just that Li Weidong miscalculated. These fellow passengers had already recognized Li Weidong. Even if they didn't recognize him, they would have noticed something at the exit.

With so many people, dressed so formally on such a hot day, they looked like they were not ordinary people, and the people they greeted must not be ordinary people either.

Therefore, those people who were not in a hurry and were happy to watch the excitement stood outside the crowd and became part of the group picking up passengers.

When Li Weidong came out, he saw such a scene. People stood around and around the exit, staring at the exit of the terminal building with curiosity.

This situation made Li Weidong's eyes instantly filled with people, and he couldn't tell who was who for a moment.

Secretary-General Cheng is the Secretary-General of the Federation of Industry and Commerce. Today he came to pick up Li Weidong on behalf of the Federation of Industry and Commerce. He is in his fifties, tall, slightly fat, and looks very burly. From his hairstyle, clothing to behavior, his demeanor is very structured.

face.

After seeing Li Weidong, Secretary-General Cheng stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Chairman Li, you have worked hard all the way!"

Li Weidong walked a few steps quickly, shook hands with Secretary-General Cheng's outstretched hand, and said with a slight exaggeration: "I don't dare to trouble the Secretary-General, I'm flattered, I'm flattered!"

Judging from Li Weidong's attitude, Secretary-General Cheng is somewhat satisfied. Although he is the Secretary-General and is responsible for the daily affairs of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, his position seems to be lower than that of the Vice-Chairman.

But in fact this is not the case. Vice-chairmen are also different. Some vice-chairmen have the final say, while others do not. Their actual power is even worse than that of the secretary-general.

Normally, among these people who have the final say, there is definitely no representative of private entrepreneurs like Li Weidong, but Li Weidong at this time is obviously an exception.

When wealth reaches a certain level, it can really determine many things. For example, if Li Weidong wanted to, he could meet with the leaders above, but he, the Secretary-General of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, could not.

Secretary-General Cheng's visit to the airport to greet Li Weidong was indeed a bit beyond the ordinary treatment. It was a special case. Under normal circumstances, it would be enough for the leaders of the office to come.

But now Li Weidong's status is different, and he must be respected. The upper-level leadership's meaning cannot be expressed more clearly, and it is necessary to understand the leadership's meaning.

"It is my job to serve the leaders. I am here to welcome Chairman Li on behalf of Shu Lao and Hui Li!" Secretary-General Cheng said with a smile.

"I don't dare, I don't dare, thank you uncle, thank you secretary-general Cheng!" Li Weidong clasped his hands together and said humbly.

"We from Handong are all cheerful men, why don't we dare!" Secretary-General Cheng was even more satisfied, but he still pretended to say that they are fellow Handong fellows, so there is nothing wrong with saying that, but one is from the southwest and the other is from the northeast.

Not even close.

"I'm really embarrassed. I'm ashamed of myself. I'm ashamed of myself!" Li Weidong could only say humbly. To deal with these people, you have to be able to act.

"That's right!" Secretary-General Cheng paused while looking at the crowd around him, and continued: "I originally wanted to arrange accommodation with you, but I was afraid it would be inconvenient for you..."

Li Weidong took the words to the man on the steps and said: "Thank you very much, Secretary-General Cheng, for your kindness, but as a big family like me, people talk a lot, so I won't cause any trouble to the meeting!"

Secretary-General Cheng nodded and said: "That's fine. There are many rules in the meeting, and it's not as convenient as living outside. How about I give you a break tonight and let's have a couple of drinks?"

Li Weidong first looked embarrassed and said: "Oh, Secretary-General Cheng, let's avoid this. Look at so many people, let's do this. Next time you go back to Handong, we won't come back until we're drunk!"

"This is what you said, don't break your promise!" Secretary-General Cheng also borrowed the donkey from the slope.

After talking to each other, it was just verbal. Both of them knew that they were just being polite to each other and saying something for the occasion. Their status was definitely not suitable for private contact, and even if they were in contact, they couldn't talk.

Li Weidong felt relieved when he saw Secretary-General Cheng leaving in the car first. He should really put some effort into acting with these old foxes, otherwise he would show an impatient expression and reveal his secret.

The official figures were gone, and the remaining ones were his own. Li Weidong did not expect that so many people would come to pick him up when he came to the capital.

As for how these people knew that he was coming to the capital, Li Weidong didn't need to guess, didn't want to guess, and didn't bother to guess. This kind of thing was definitely not a secret in his circle.

He didn't know how many people there were, but if he took a closer look, almost everyone who had business dealings with him and thought he had some respect were here.

That is to say, Li Weidong doesn't want to make friends. Without friends from the so-called mutual aid chambers of commerce, it would be even more lively.

It's not that Li Weidong doesn't want to make friends, it's because these "friends" are too unreliable. In the business circle, the first people to be tricked are acquaintances, and at this time, the risk in the circle of rich people's friends is still very high.

Li Weidong looked at Ma Jun, Fu Xiaomin, Zhang Chaoyang and other independent and educated people beside him, as well as Luo Jialiang, Liu Dachun, Doubian and others who had already left behind low-level tastes and transformed into successful people who were famous.

Li Weidong took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with the people around him to greet them, which made these people a little flattered. Li Weidong never adhered to etiquette with them. Such vulgar things as shaking hands have always been possible without it.

People in the crowd at the back also pushed forward, eager to shake hands with Boss Li, but Ding Yuan and several other bodyguards were surrounding and couldn't get too close.

Looking at these people, Li Weidong waved his hands to indicate that they would not be crowded, and said with a smile: "Thank you everyone, thank you everyone!"

The scene was a bit chaotic. Ding Yuan was afraid of an accident, so he protected Li Weidong and walked to the car that had already driven over to leave. As for the children, the bodyguards had already taken them to the car and settled them down.

After Li Weidong got on the bus, everyone got on their own and left. After all, this was not a place to talk, and it was well known that Li Weidong didn't like public places.

The fat and thin administrators were a little stunned when they saw this scene. This battle was too big, not just the number of people. They had seen many more people than this. If some Hong Kong and Taiwan stars landed, there would be even more people.

They just have never seen so many rich people gathering.

Just now they roughly counted the names and surnames, and there were only a few people who could have a place on the rich list. As for whether there are hidden rich people among them, it is not something that people at the bottom like them can know.

What they saw today really surprised them both. Since the world's richest man is so young, if they didn't know better, no one would think that he was the world's richest man, or even think that he was just a humble boss.

However, these corporate CEOs who often appear in the media and newspapers are so cautious and even a little groveling in front of this small boss.

Of course, there was another thing that slightly surprised the short administrator. The diamond king Lao Wu Zhang, who was worth over 100 million US dollars, did not get into his own car, but got into a Mercedes-Benz.

The short administrator remembered clearly that the owner of the Mercedes-Benz was the one who asked him about his flight. He had also paid attention just now. As he had guessed, this was a strong woman with a strong aura who could match her voice.

Of course, it doesn’t count in front of Li Weidong.

The driver of Li Weidong's car was Doubiang. It wasn't until the car drove out of the airport that Doubiang cautiously said, "Brother, if I say I don't know how they got here, do you believe it?"

Although Li Weidong's visit to the capital was not a secret, it was not made known to everyone. He just asked his secretary to inform Doubiang to arrange several cars to pick them up.

Now in this scene, Doubiang can't hold it any longer. The key is that he really wasn't the one who leaked the secret!

"Believe it!" Li Weidong said with a half-smile.

Doubian looked at Li Weidong through the car's rearview mirror and felt that something was wrong. He had to laugh along and continued to explain: "Brother, I really didn't tell anyone about this. Brother Dachun, I didn't even tell him.

It was only when he called me that I realized everyone knew about it!"

Li Weidong kicked the back of the seat with his foot and said: "Okay, I don't blame you, just drive your car and be free!"

Doubi felt that this was the normal Brother Li, and said happily: "Okay, brother, please sit tight, let's set off now!"

Doubian stepped on the accelerator so hard that the car felt good on the back, but it earned him a scolding from Li Weidong and an eye-roll from Ding Yuan from the passenger seat. How can such a rough guy be the chairman?

Doubiang said without knowing it: "By the way, brother, you can have a peaceful meeting tomorrow and just leave Li Qian and Li Rui to me. I promise to take them to play well, eat well, and not suffer any grievances!"

"I have found several well-known tour guides in the industry. They are all reliable people. They are very familiar with various scenic spots in the capital and various cultural allusions!" Doubiang talked non-stop. He knew the nature of his job very well.

, playing with a few young masters and princesses.

In Fu Xiaomin's car, Fu Xiaomin saw that Zhang Chaoyang, who was sitting next to him, was in a bad mood, and asked, "What's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood!"

Zhang Chaoyang smiled slightly and said calmly: "It's nothing, how can I feel wrong!"

Since March this year, the two of them met abroad, and then reunited in China. And because of a heroic rescue of the United States, the relationship between the two has become closer and closer.

After work, the two of them would often sit together, drink a cup of coffee, chat, and even meet friends occasionally.

These circumstances made their friends, colleagues, and subordinates naturally think that there must be something going on between these two people.

An older single young man and an older single young woman are both equally outstanding, with similar wealth and social status. It is normal for others to think this way.

Even the two of them sometimes have this idea, but in fact, they both know that they are still a little short of success, and it seems that there is still a lack of an opportunity.

The two of them didn't speak. The car drove quickly into the city, and the speed during rush hour slowly decreased. By this time, the sky was almost completely dark, and the whole city had changed.

The high-rise buildings facing the street are brightly lit, and there is a constant flow of cars with their headlights on. The street is like a fast-flowing river of bright lights filled with wishing lanterns.

The silence in the car was in stark contrast to the noise outside, making the atmosphere in the car somewhat out of place.

"The chairman is a very legendary person!" Fu Xiaomin said softly, seemingly casually.

"Yes, the chairman's strategic vision and insight are simply amazing, at least when it comes to the Internet. What he said is slowly becoming reality. Believe him, he is right!" Zhang Chaoyang also sighed.

"So, you don't have to be disappointed, some people are born different!" Fu Xiaomin comforted.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. That's not the case. I'm not arrogant enough to compare with him!" Zhang Chaoyang waved his hands and said, if others heard this, they would laugh to death.

Although he has been awarded honors such as "Digital Hero" and "Corporate Rising Star", he has also founded a decent company, successfully listed in the United States, and has a large net worth, but comparing these with Li Weidong is too ignorant.

Already.

It is not an exaggeration to say that if someone plucks a hair, it would be thicker than his thigh. Moreover, his company also has shares in others, so his success is also supported by him.

Fu Xiaomin was a little confused. She thought that Zhang Chaoyang had some idea because of the scene just now. In her impression, Dr. Zhang was a cheerful and talkative person, not a person who was influenced by other things!

Did she think wrong?

"Don't think too much, it's just a family matter!"

"What's going on at home?" Although Fu Xiaomin was confused, it was hard to ask too detailed questions.

Dr. Zhang then changed the subject and said, "Yes, it's about family matters. There are so many people here today. I think we can hold a business summit today!"

The two started chatting and laughing again. As the traffic slowly moved, the car finally got used to the bustle outside. The assistant in front also breathed a sigh of relief, but in his heart he thought that these two successful people were really interesting. Maybe

There are really missing strings in other places.

Li Weidong's car arrived at a star hotel. This hotel was booked by Doubian. It is the closest five-star hotel to the Federation of Industry and Commerce, which makes it convenient for Li Weidong to go to the meeting.

Li Weidong lived in the largest suite in the hotel, with four bedrooms, which was enough for Li Weidong and his party to settle in, and also ensured maximum safety.

In addition, there are study rooms, restaurants, and reception rooms. At this time, the reception room is crowded with people. Some of them don't even have seats and can only stand carefully against the wall. Of course, there are also some who are ashamed of themselves.

I'm too embarrassed to come up.

After a while, Li Weidong walked out of the bedroom, and everyone in the living room stood up. At this time, he had put on comfortable slippers and walked with ease and ease, which was enviable.

"Everyone, sit down, sit down. It's late at night and I'd like to thank you all for coming to pick me up at the airport!" Li Weidong said politely.

"We are very excited to learn that Chairman Mao will come to Beijing and have the opportunity to listen to your guidance and learn from you. We should be grateful to you!" Ma Jun said with a smile.

This flattery is very loud, especially for a cultural person. Li Weidong likes to hear it. If it is Doubian, Dachun, Luo Jialiang and others, he will just listen, but it will be too tacky!

Li Weidong smiled and waved his hand and said: "Anyone can tell me what I can guide. The real ability is to be successful. You are all doing well. Even if it were me, I might not be able to achieve your speed and height!"

"You are the captain at the helm, and we are the oars. Only when you point in the right direction can our speed be meaningful and our height be possible!" Ma Jun continued, and he had to be full of flattery.
