Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 628: Great Responsibility

Li Weidong looked at Fu Xiaomin's refreshing energy, gave a thumbs up, smiled and praised: "It's so refreshing to drink like this!"

"I'm sorry, I got a little excited and made a fool of myself!" Maybe he drank too much, or maybe he was really embarrassed. Fu Xiaomin's face was a little red, and it looked even more charming under the flickering light.

Zhang Chaoyang was a little distracted when he saw Fu Xiaomin's appearance. If Fu Xiaomin hadn't coughed lightly, he didn't know when he would have come back to his senses!

Hearing Fu Xiaomin's reminder, Zhang Chaoyang quickly raised his wine glass and said to Li Weidong: "Chairman, I respect you!"

Li Weidong smiled and touched Zhang Chaoyang, took a sip of wine, glanced at Fu Xiaomin, became jealous, and asked Zhang Chaoyang in a low voice: "Looking at your red luan star moving, is something good about to happen?"

Although Li Weidong said it in a low voice, Zhang Chaoyang was sure that Fu Xiaomin, who was only one step away, would be able to hear it. It is estimated that Li Weidong did not mean to avoid her at all, otherwise he would not ask such a question.

However, Zhang Chaoyang still glanced at Fu Xiaomin with a guilty conscience, and quickly said in a low voice with a hint of helplessness: "It's nothing, it's still far from enough!"

After all, Li Weidong is someone who has been through this before. Although he cannot be said to be experienced or well-informed about this kind of thing, it can be seen from his expression that although there are problems, there must be progress. The problem is probably the last step.

"Then hurry up and fight for it, I'm optimistic about you!" Li Weidong patted him on the shoulder and said.

"You're already in your thirties, what's there to be embarrassed about? Men need to be thick-skinned. Your excellent genes must be passed on. And you have so much money, you have to have a son to help you save the family!"

"The reason why people are excellent is not how hard they work, but what God gives them. Therefore, excellent people should give back to society more, such as building a house or having a son!"

Li Weidong patted Zhang Chaoyang's shoulder earnestly and said: "Human reproduction is a major event and requires everyone's joint efforts. Everyone has a responsibility, and you have a heavy responsibility!"

In his previous life, Zhang Chaoyang was the business idol of his generation, and he was definitely a man at the forefront. Li Weidong naturally admired him and had heard about his past.

This was the time when Zhang Chaoyang was at his craziest. He was doing anything other than doing his job, either dancing or playing in entertainment clubs. The people he invited to sing, dance and play with him were either nearby college students or future business bosses.

Later, he suffered from various depressions, worshiped Buddha, cultivated his mind, and caused all kinds of weird things, which also delayed the development of Sohu. By the time he worshiped Buddha and awakened, it was already too late, and the company had already fallen out of the first rank.

.

Perhaps because of Li Weidong's existence in this life, the landscape of the domestic Internet has been changed, and he has not become as inflated as in his previous life, and has become relatively low-key.

Although he occasionally does some high-profile things, they are all due to his flamboyant personality and nothing too out of the ordinary.

And Li Weidong attributed all these to being young and immature!

Although not all men will mature quickly after getting married and having children and begin to take on the responsibilities of being husbands and fathers, this is a universal rule.

Moreover, these two people have the same talents and looks, and are the same leaders in the business world, making them an absolute top-notch combination.

If it is like he did in his previous life, never getting married, which is incompatible with the traditional Chinese moral values ​​of self-cultivation, family management, country governance, and world peace, Li Weidong will not be at ease.

Maybe I will get involved in the company's affairs at the right time, and even choose a suitable professional manager.

Li Weidong continued to clink glasses with others and chat with others when he was happy. Although Li Weidong was of course the center of attention, he could not communicate with everyone at the same time.

Moreover, the pre-dinner cocktail reception is also part of the banquet, and mutual communication is fundamental. If you only listen to Li Weidong speak alone, it is better to hold a meeting and let Li Weidong give a speech.

However, although everyone communicated in a low voice, they also always paid attention to Li Weidong's direction. Some who had not communicated with Li Weidong could move closer in that direction, and those who had clinked glasses and drank wine were not always in front of the chairman.

The exchange between Li Weidong and Zhang Chaoyang just now was seen by everyone. They patted their shoulders, pulled their arms, and just put their arms around each other. It was difficult not to attract attention.

These intimate gestures made people around him envious, and they probably took it for granted that the big boss recognized and valued Zhang Chaoyang.

As soon as Li Weidong left, several familiar people gathered around Zhang Chaoyang. Although he did not directly ask the boss about the content of his conversation, the meaning behind his words was obvious.

Mr. Zhang is not a novice in the workplace, so he will not let go of the ready-made tiger skin easily. Naturally, he cannot leak the content of the conversation, especially in front of several competitors.

And this matter is a bit hard to talk about. He can't tell everyone that his boss is concerned about human reproduction and criticize him for not fulfilling this important responsibility, right?

It is estimated that this will be great fun, and it will definitely become a big burden for them in the Internet industry!

The few people couldn't come up with anything useful to say to him, so they had no choice but to say polite words like "let's play ball together and drink tea together when we have time in the future" and then left.

After the people dispersed, Fu Xiaomin came over with a new glass of red wine. He stood casually in front of Zhang Chaoyang and started to show off his style.

"Click one, are you done?" Mr. Zhang raised his glass, touched it lightly, and said with a smile.

"Laugh at me!" Fu Xiaomin also said with a smile. He did drink the cup in a hurry just now, so he really drank it.

"Absolutely not. In fact, I think this is how you should drink red wine!" As if to prove himself, Mr. Zhang really didn't laugh at her and drank the new glass of wine in one gulp!

Zhang Chaoyang swallowed the wine in his mouth and said: "Look, it's so enjoyable. This is where the joy comes from. Drink to your heart's content. Drinking is just for happiness!"

"Actually, when I was studying abroad, I worked part-time in a bar. When the sommeliers were tasting, they would take a small sip and then take a big sip to get the overall experience."

"When you drink it in small sips, not only does the taste not be strong enough, but it also fails to fill your entire mouth. You cannot taste the full feeling of the wine in your mouth, or at least it is incomplete."

"Actually, many winemakers work hard to make the wine smooth and easy to drink, just to make the drinkers very happy when they swallow it. Cheers, why not?"

"Really!" Fu Xiaomin held the wine glass, clinked it with the empty wine glass in Zhang Chaoyang's hand, raised his neck, drank it all, and asked, "That's all?"

With a smile on his face, Zhang Chaoyang said happily: "You can drink as much as you like, that's all!"

The two of them clinked their empty glasses at the same time, laughing even more happily, as if everything was unspoken.

Li Weidong walked around the venue, trying his best to cover everything. He felt that almost everyone had clinked glasses before completing the welcome ceremony.

At this time, it was also the time for the dinner that was originally agreed upon. Li Weidong was a punctual person. Even if everyone who wanted to entertain the banquet came, he had to wait until the time was up before he could start.

The sound in the entire leisure area suddenly became quiet for an instant. This kind of silence did not seem to require any prior practice. It was the unanimous decision of everyone present.

It is said that this is a sociological psychological effect. If someone does not speak, everyone will become quiet, and the silent person is the focus, such as Li Weidong at this time.

Li Weidong still had the same wine glass in his hand. He had clinked it with different wine glasses dozens of times, and the wine in the glass didn't seem to decrease much.

The scene became quiet, and everyone moved slowly, stood around Li Weidong, and then all looked at Li Weidong, waiting for Li Weidong's next speech.

Li Weidong held the wine glass and said with a smile: "Good evening everyone, I thought we would have a casual dinner together tonight, drink, talk about old times, chat, have fun, and relax!"

Excitement began to flash in some people's eyes. Li Weidong's words made them feel that they had found an organization and a big tree where they could enjoy the shade.

"But just now, I saw that some people seemed to be worried, or at least there was hesitation in their smiles. I think you are not short of money, so it is definitely not a problem of money!"

"Since it's not about money, I probably have 99% less worries in this world. I wonder if the health of the people in middle age affects the relationship between husband and wife!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Even the young people present were all in their thirties. It was natural to understand this kind of joke!

"The laws of nature cannot be solved with money. I can't hide things, so I took the liberty to inquire about it and found out that some people perform well in this regard despite their age. It is said that my wife is very satisfied!"

"I also thought, since this is not the reason, it must still be a matter of money. The money is still too little, not enough to make you feel relieved!"

"We are all businessmen, and what we do every day is noble things like making money. It is easy to understand why we worry about this!"

Everyone laughed again. Although the issue of class was no longer mentioned at this time and some people had already been allowed to get rich first, everyone could only secretly enjoy this kind of thing!

Moreover, since ancient times, there has been a saying that you can make a fortune by talking quietly, but you can make money with a gun. You can do things to make money, but you can't talk about it.

But now it seems that we have really reached an era where we can both do and talk about it. No matter how modestly we act as a hermit hero, it is too Chinese and too reserved to comfort the likes of Fan Li and Shen Wansan.

"There's no shame in making money, and there's even less shame in making money by relying on one's own skills. It's shameful if you don't have money. As long as you can put it in your own pocket reasonably and legally, and others can't find fault with it, that's your skill!"

Li Weidong continued to smile and said: "So I thought that some people may have doubts about their ability to make money, or are confused!"

"If this is the case, there is no need to be unfounded. Shakespeare has a famous line, we are destined to encounter such an era!"

"When our generation encounters such an era, we should really thank our ancestors for TOEFL. I have read everyone's information. Although some people have extraordinary resumes, even if you are a top student from northern Qing Dynasty or a turtle who has returned from studying abroad, compared to those

People with deep backgrounds, complicated connections, and obscure relationships can only be regarded as ordinary people!"

Li Weidong seems to consciously avoid dealing with people with complex backgrounds, and generally avoids certain people when investing, so as to stay away from right and wrong.

In the domestic Internet industry, these companies are not the only ones. There are even many companies that were established earlier and look to have better prospects and more investment value.

But when he saw the names of shareholders behind these companies that seemed familiar to him but also made him feel numb, Li Weidong could only stay away from them.

Even if someone comes to visit him, Li Weidong will only politely send him away without offending him.

For this kind of people, Li Weidong has always had a standard. They can have personal friendships, eat, drink and go to the sauna, but they can't have business dealings or monetary transactions, otherwise the yellow mud will fall into their crotch and it will not be clear when the time comes.

.

Fortunately, in the past, Li Weidong used the identity of a Hong Kong businessman and found an opportunity to form a good relationship with the leaders above him, and he did not encounter anything too difficult.

Now that his reputation has grown, others know who Li Weidong is, so no one will bother him again.

Anyway, people who want to do business with them are queuing up, and there is no shortage of people like Li Weidong. Besides, Li Weidong has a great reputation and a lot of movement, so sometimes it is not suitable for their business.

Li Weidong was cautious in dealing with people with complex relationships, let alone using them as subordinates. Therefore, although not all of his subordinates were idiots, there were none who were more senior.

Li Weidong continued: "But we are fortunate to encounter this great era, catch up with the great changes in history, and encounter an opportunity that has not yet solidified the wealth class!"

"But you have already entered this door and have a bright future. You don't need to worry about whether the general situation will change or whether the policy will be adjusted. If it changes, it will only get better!"

Nowadays, all they "commoners" can pursue is material wealth. As for higher-level pursuits, they have basically been locked up. Without the accumulation of several generations, relying on personal efforts, achievements will be limited.

"As for the various problems you encounter, they are just scenery on the way. You can appreciate it and even be sad, but it should not become a fetter for you!"

"The Internet winter, the egalitarian pig-killing theory, China's accession to the WTO, real estate, and the second board market of securities are all hotly discussed, but in the long run they are all false!"

"I can responsibly tell you that these will pass. The Internet winter will come and go, and this industry will even spawn a series of booming industries. Now is an opportunity to accumulate strength by buying low!"

"The current Internet is a seedling that has just broken ground. This is just the first wind and rain it has experienced. It blows all over the place and even loses a few leaves, but it doesn't matter!"

"I see that there are quite a few people working in the Internet industry here. I suggest that in this pioneering period of the Internet, don't stop just because of the wind and rain. At this time, every time you step down, you may step on a gold mine!"

"Don't let this era down. It's our responsibility to meet you. We have to find a way to make this tree grow more leaves!"

"Don't worry about not having enough money, as long as your idea is good, the money bag standing next to you will be very generous!" Li Weidong pointed at several heads of venture capital companies and said with a smile.
