The Age of Rebirth

The gold medal is only superficial. The sense of honor of winning the gold medal, raising the national flag and playing the national anthem is important. Even Li Weidong, who has been a man for two lifetimes, still has a sore nose and goosebumps when he hears the national anthem.

This kind of thing is probably feelings, and I have to admire the seniors who created this song. This kind of resonance is simply amazing!

Tens of millions of dollars have been thrown in, so that everyone can have one more experience of directly hitting the soul. Li Weidong thinks it is worthwhile, and patriotism grows in this kind of trembling that directly hits the soul again and again!

After Li Weidong finished speaking, he walked to the office in the main room. There was a pair of large water tanks in the yard. The Wanlian in the water tanks was at the end of flowering, and the few flowers showed signs of failure.

This is designed to imitate the layout of the ancients during the decoration. It was originally intended to be used to drain water for running water. When the weather is hot, Li Weidong put a handful of open lotus seeds.

Later, Li Qian and Li Rui brothers and sisters caught some fish and shrimps and put them in. Such a small micro-ecology was completed with the efforts of two generations, and it was a little more green when placed at the door.

Every time Li Weidong passed by, he was always in a better mood and had a little more smile on his face.

Seeing Li Weidong enter the house, the people outside let out a sigh of relief. It turned out that Ju's hunchbacked figure was much taller and straighter.

When Chen Jun walked to the door, he looked back at a few colleagues who looked worried, and couldn't help but want to laugh, and suddenly thought that he was not like that just now.

Facing a person who can determine the upper limit of one's own destiny, it is not shameful to have such a heart.

"What are you doing in a daze? Let's press the projects invested by the secondary companies!" Chen Jun said with a smile, and then followed Li Weidong into the room.

Li Weidong walked behind the desk and sat down, Chen Jun also passed the water glass over, and reminded, "Chairman, it's hot, be careful!"

Li Weidong didn't follow the order, and Chen Jun couldn't make tea in advance.

Seeing Li Weidong nodded, Chen Jun left the boss's office. As for whether the boss came early for something, he couldn't ask if the boss didn't say anything.

Li Weidong flipped through the company's documents for a while, thinking about the meeting of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, picked up the post-it note on his desk, and wrote with a pen, "Suggestions on the development of the central and western regions."

He doesn't need to write this kind of article himself, he just needs to give the central idea he wants to express, otherwise he can't use sticky notes.

First I wrote a few clichés, and then I made suggestions, but suggestions are also divided into dry goods and wet goods. Some things look like suggestions, but they are actually flattering.

And the real dry goods are often at the end, with a few tactful words, so Li Weidong's first few suggestions seem to be big and empty things.

For example, improving competitiveness according to local conditions, establishing a new development model, achieving leapfrogging in innovation, and seeking breakthroughs in opportunities and challenges seem like clichés.

At the end, Li Weidong just mentioned, to cultivate and improve the business environment.

In fact, he would like to add that it is necessary to strengthen the crackdown on consumer fraud and slaughtering customers to damage the local reputation. It's just that it is better to say these words, but it is a bit inappropriate to put them on paper.

After writing this, Li Weidong picked up the phone and asked Chen Jun to come in, gave him the note, and asked him to write an article that could be sold according to this.

Just after work in the afternoon, Zheng Sijing ran over. He is the vice president in charge of investment. The things Li Weidong asked Chen Jun to count were directly related to him.

Zheng Sijing entered Li Weidong's office and said hello, then took two folders and said, "Chairman, this is the list of projects invested by various companies in the central and western regions according to the statistics of the Investment Department!"

"This is a list of projects that have been approved by various investment companies recently, but have not yet been completed!"

Li Weidong took it and looked at it for a few times, but didn't pay much attention to it. Except for a few projects with relatively large investment amounts, such as projects such as the West-East Gas Pipeline and Salt Lake Potash Fertilizer, he only needs to know the number of projects invested, and the total investment amount is Can.

Li Weidong put down the document, stood up, walked to the sofa next to him and sat down, and called Zheng Sijing to come and sit down too.

"You need to deliver this kind of thing in person?" Li Weidong asked with a half-smile.

"The chairman is joking. It is my honor to report to the leader. How can I not personally!" Zheng Sijing also said with a laugh.

Li Weidong said, "Oh, that's good, I have received the things, you can go back!"

"Come on, chairman!" Zheng Sijing smiled.

"It's okay, if you don't leave, do you still rely on me to use the air conditioner or the tea?"

Zheng Sijing still smiled and said: "The chairman is like this. Our investment department manages thirteen VCs and four PEs. After research and analysis during this period, we found some problems, so we want to hold an internal seminar. Discuss the current investment environment and investment strategy, and let everyone exchange and share investment experience with each other, so as to carry out work better!"

Li Weidong nodded and said: "This is a good thing. The investment department itself has the role of strategic guidance. I think this kind of meeting should be held frequently, which will also help them develop their business!"

Internal seminars are completely different from those public investment seminars and venture capital conferences. It is estimated that those who participated did not tell the truth.

It's all to promote the company, promote itself, and get more attention. As for the real development direction and mode of operation of the company, how can it be possible to tell outsiders, let alone its competitors!

Even the speeches of some experts and scholars are mostly for certain purposes. As for the really useful words, how can they be said so casually!
Knowledge is power, and the manifestation of power is value. True knowledge is valuable!
Moreover, the various multi-forums, seminars, and even debates that have flourished in recent years have lost their original meaning from the very beginning.

Now it seems to be arm wrestling and debating, but in the end, the real meaning is often mutual support for business.

Although the company's internal seminars will also have hidden killers, after all, you can still discuss some operating methods and investment strategies.

You have an idea, I have an idea, if everyone speaks out, there may be countless thoughts.

And in some environments, people have the desire to express themselves, especially in front of people who can grasp the ceiling of their own struggles, the company's funding source for the next year has to be approved by the investment department.

Seeing that Li Weidong agreed, Zheng Sijing said, "What the chairman said was that we brought it up when we were discussing the process and topics of this meeting a few days ago. I wonder if we have the honor to listen to you!"

"Internal seminars, still engage in these empty-headed formalism?" Li Weidong said with a little helplessness.

Zheng Sijing was also a little embarrassed when he heard the boss say this. How could this be formalism? This reflects the company's emphasis on it, but he also knows that the boss's intention is not an obvious rejection, and he has to work harder.

"Chairman, although it is the company's internal seminar, it is the first time after all, and it will be held frequently in the future. It must always highlight the key points. Everyone is looking forward to your coming, and I hope the chairman can support us. It seems that the company takes it seriously!"

Li Weidong looked at Zheng Sijing and said with a smile: "You are going to command my army. If I don't participate, I won't support your work!"

Knowing Li Weidong, Zheng Sijing continued to smile and said: "This is not your army. The main thing is that your speech is from a high level and has new things. Let us be enlightened and avoid many detours..."

Li Weidong waved his hand to stop Zheng Sijing's flattery, and asked a little unbearably, "When?"

"Friday and Saturday, depending on the discussion, appropriate adjustments can be made!" Zheng Sijing replied.

"I'm afraid it won't work. I have a meeting of the Federation of Industry and Commerce on Thursday, and I promised to take the children to play in the capital for two days. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back!" Li Weidong was secretly happy.

Li Weidong insisted on getting rid of his daily work and only asking about some major company events. Although this kind of seminar is reluctant to say that it is a major company event, it is also reluctant to say that it is a daily job. After all, it is also a group activity. If you are ambiguous, you may not participate.

"Chairman, considering everyone's work situation, the convenience of travel, and the overall cost, this meeting will be held in the capital!" Zheng Sijing said with a smile.

Zheng Sijing didn't have much confidence in inviting Li Weidong to the capital. No one knew how lazy Li Weidong was usually, so he coined the word "otaku" for this reason.

In the morning, he suddenly heard that the boss was going to the capital for a meeting, which gave him hope, and the probability of this happening increased a lot.

A meeting with Li Weidong and a meeting without him are definitely two different things, and the effect of the meeting must be different!
"Waiting for me here, right!" Li Weidong said helplessly.

"You can't blame me. The company recently issued a regulation to save meeting costs. This is also a comprehensive consideration of various situations!" Zheng Sijing said with a smile.

There are more than a dozen companies, there are many company partners, general managers, and deputy general managers, plus directors in charge of relevant departments, and there are at least two to 300 participants.

Most of these people are concentrated in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and it is more convenient to travel to the capital, which saves a lot of time and cost.

Although the cost of accommodation and conference affairs in the capital is not low, if these are transferred from the capital to Qizhou, the cost will be even greater. Even in the capital, the use of hotel conference affairs is the company's internal resources, and the fertilizer and water are still circulating internally, and the cost is also high. not tall.

In fact, Zheng Sijing still had something to say. He always felt that it was not a wise choice to place the headquarters of a company with such a large business scale in Qizhou, but he couldn't say that.

Li Weidong nodded to agree with this statement. He knew this regulation, and it was also proposed by him. It should be implemented not only in the head office, but also in other second- and third-tier subsidiaries.

After Tian Ya took office, she made an analysis of the financial situation of the head office itself. As the headquarters, it does not involve production and operation activities, and the company's income is distributed among the rights and interests of each subsidiary, and there is not much tax relationship.

Therefore, in addition to the investment part, the most important part of the company's finances is the operation and management costs, so such financial statements look particularly simple.

When Li Weidong saw the financial statements, he saw these numbers in black at a glance, and only then did he know that the company's operating costs had almost doubled in the past six months.

After careful questioning, I realized that the increase was the expenses of welcoming and sending off, meeting receptions, and dinners and receptions.

Li Weidong guessed that these subordinates must be working hard because they knew that the richest man in the world was not short of money. Although the money was not much, it was not spent in the right place, and Li Weidong couldn't be used to it.

Li Weidong nodded in agreement and said: "You follow the normal process, I will spare time to go and have a look!"
