My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 511 How to solve the problem of wealth being hidden among the people?

The real estate business was originally in Chi Shiming's hands, but he is now completely focused on his work in Shanghai.

Wu Shengyun took it from him: "I have now received offers from twelve relatively powerful companies around Jiangzhou who hope to open their own offices in Building 5 of Shanghai. These are also important clients for the shipping company to expand its transportation volume in the future. I suggest that we rent half a floor in Building 5 to them, thereby maintaining our leading position in the entire eastern Sichuan region."

Taxpayers generally believe that there is only tax revenue if others make money.

He nodded thoughtfully: "Then let's make the computer sales showroom on the first floor of Building 5 more comprehensive, showcasing local specialties from eastern Sichuan, as well as computers, shampoo, jeans, and other products to the people of Shanghai and tourists from all over the country who come to the Bund. But the building's exterior should remain dignified, using our salespeople on the Bund and the glass pyramid's promotional features to attract people."

Wu Shengyun recorded respectfully, adding praise: "All business associates in Jiangzhou and the surrounding areas admire your acquisition of the Bund Building in Shanghai and the scale of your major investment in Shanghai real estate. They hope to follow suit. Should we hold a banquet around the Spring Festival to express your ambition to lead everyone?"

Last night, Wei Dong shook his head, still wary of the more than 100 million yuan in fixed assets: "What practical significance does such a grand banquet have, besides showing off? I don't need their dependence and following. As long as they don't have bad intentions, that's enough. But I don't mind if you use the shipping company to connect various resources in eastern and western Sichuan, and even along the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Our focus is on doing things, not on being a gang leader."

Wu Shengyun repeatedly said he understood.

Let Wei Dong join Lao Zhang in gesturing: "How about it? This 24th floor is probably the tallest building in the city center for the next few years. Let's open a restaurant here so that citizens and tourists can experience the feeling of being on top of the world?"

Wu Shengyun repeatedly said, "This connects to all our resources. Boss is brilliant!"

Wei Dong finally laughed and cursed as he kicked him: "If you keep doing this, all you'll do is flatter. I'll treat you like a sycophantic traitor."

The pretty boy complained, "I mean it from the bottom of my heart. Look at how wise and decisive you were in every step you took last year. All I could do was follow you wholeheartedly and applaud."

Wei Dong understood very well: "If you keep spouting flattery like this, I'll get carried away and think I'm amazing. This is an opportunity the times have given us, but flattery isn't a good habit. The people around me also try to maintain a truthful style of saying what they mean. Once I find out they're deceiving or misleading me, they'll instantly lose my trust!"

Wu Shengyun then wrote it down in his notebook.

Old Zhang was much more composed and dignified: "The restaurant's preparations are still Manager Shen's job. I will organize the restaurant's decoration plan and discuss it with her. As for the other floors? General Manager Liu has specifically instructed me to leave the decision about the floors held by the photo studio to you. We truly trust and follow you."

Wei Dong was not complacent about this: "It's not a good thing for me to make all the decisions and ideas. I can keep a firm grasp on the general direction, but you still need to think about many specific decisions yourselves. I can make the decisions, and you should even promote those around you who dare to make decisions and have new ideas. This is the key to whether we can continue to be strong in the future."

At this point, he couldn't help but mention his sister-in-law... no, I should say his new wife, though he felt the title was a bit awkward, so he praised her instead: "Manager Dong graduated from the Electronics Department of the Post and Telecommunications School and worked at the Jiangzhou Post and Telecommunications Building. She designed our nationwide and branch network of communications. She also spearheaded the popularization of computers in all departments and the strengthening of electronic financial management. She's a valuable talent. Xiao Wu, your most brilliant achievement was developing a stone supplier and leveraging our shipping advantages to improve the sales building. You should promote this talent instead of praising me. In the future, the profits generated from the stone business will be split equally between you and the company, making it your exclusive business. We will strive to use it extensively in Shanghai."

Wu Shengyun finally couldn't contain his shock and immediately knelt down and kowtowed!
Old Zhang was terrified. Does our family have to be so loyal to the eldest son?
Even Xiaodie, sitting on her father's chest, was calmer than him.

Wei Dong knew that Wu Shengyun, like Shen Laosan, came from an old-fashioned family and had some of these kinds of mannerisms.

He stopped laughing and scolding: "You have the ability. If you want to go out and work on your own in the future, I won't stop you. But remember, if you want to follow me, try to do real business instead of those financial tricks like short selling and speculation. When you have more time in Shanghai, you can ask Manager Zhang from the foreign trade department about their involvement in Shanghai stock trading and see how dangerous it is. It's best not to get involved. I don't like doing those things."

Wu Shengyun understood all too well how much stone the two million square meter foreign-related community would require, especially if the construction of the Pudong Building were added on top of that.

The convenience of being able to ship directly from the place of origin to the construction site using our own ships almost completely outclasses all competitors.

The stone trading business that followed could make one incredibly wealthy.

This meant that Wei Dong had given him the golden key.

They gave him their trust and their wealth.

So he didn't even raise his head: "Shengyun understands, and will remember it well and follow you for life. If he has any disloyal thoughts, may he be struck by lightning."

Without discussing the value of such loyalty expressed in a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) manner, Wei Dong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alright, treat me with sincerity, and I will reciprocate with sincerity. I don't care about other businessmen forming alliances. Sharing resources and mutual benefit is fine, but forming alliances to expand our influence is unnecessary for us, let alone becoming the leader. That would just make us easy targets and used as shields."

Wu Shengyun kowtowed again and said yes.

He stood up, his forehead covered in construction dust.

His suit was covered in marks, which was quite unusual for someone as meticulous as him.

Old Zhang tried his best to think about the amount of information in these conversations.

It was much easier to get Wei Dong to turn to him: "Business suites, the kind with two rooms, twenty or thirty per floor. They can be used for hotel stays, or as long-term private rooms for shell companies or corporate offices. Let's set up ten floors first to see how it goes. Ask Chi Shiming to confirm the plan for you. Yes, Manager Shen and Miss Qin have seen a lot of them and can give you advice. They should also have these kinds of photos."

Old Zhang clearly said yes.

After Wei Dong had dealt with the overall situation here, he went downstairs, drove off, and only pulled over to the side of the street after he had driven at least half a block away.

Looking out over my first commercial building. Jiangzhou on a winter morning, shrouded in mist.

At this point, it becomes clear how brilliant the unexpected turn brought by Wu Shengyun was.

The white podium building is connected by horizontal rings of glass windows, which envelop the pure white marble like a crystal-clear and precious jade belt.

The top seventeen floors are made of vertically stretched glass, which, together with the black marble, are inlaid into strips of black jade ribbons.

The vertical glass flooring, which is consistent with the factory buildings, not only provides excellent natural light and a stunning visual impact from the inside, but also exudes a timeless elegance.

Perhaps it was this extraordinary achievement that made Wu Shengyun surrounded by compliments and start to get carried away.

Let's see if this reprimand will make him feel more grounded.

However, his daughter, sitting on Rang Weidong's arm, hugged his head and looked up at him without saying a word.

Wei Dong's heart stirred: "This is the result of your mother's efforts in building this place together with us. One day she should be able to come back and lead this place better."

You could actually feel the child's hands tightening their grip slightly.

There is no problem with my hearing.

When they arrived at the factory area, Shen Laosan squinted and examined the factory with a calculating look, then said with satisfaction, "Not bad, no unnecessary trouble."

Let Wei Dong... pshaw.

Shen Cuiyue gestured to the five-story building next to her: "It's not safe for you and Xiao Dong to live outside like this. If some daring and reckless person targets you, it will be a loss. How about we settle the master on this rooftop first? Xiao Dong mentioned it to me."

Wei Dong looked up to observe. At present, the fifth level had only completed the framework and the outer walls had not yet been built, but it was clear that they were already working on the sixth level framework.

The entire factory will definitely be completed this year.

Sanitary napkin factories are starting to reduce their workforce and gradually replace it with semi-automated production lines.

Therefore, the area will not expand further, the employed population will shift to other projects, and the production capacity will actually increase dramatically.

Therefore, the fifth level will be the distribution of production lines for shampoo, cosmetics, computers, keyboards, and mice.

There is indeed a huge rooftop terrace of 7,500 square meters.

So he nodded and said, "Then we'll wait until the sixth level is completed to build a comprehensive stadium, and place the residential area for the company's senior executives on the rooftop of the fifth level."

But he also had his own ideas: "However, the most important thing this year is to complete the factory dormitory, so that the entire factory area can be presented to all parties with a brand-new look."

With hundreds of millions of assets, most of which are located here, the goal is to build a complete "base" to ensure the livelihoods and employment of thousands of workers.

That is, one's own contribution to society.

Shen Cuiyue listened and said, "Old Geng has a place to stay, right? Miss Qin said she'll be in Shanghai often in the future, so we need to reserve a house for her here. Do I have a place to stay?"

While talking, she reached out to tease the child, using her finger to lift Xiaodie's chin—isn't that the way you tease a pet?

The indifferent child didn't even glance at her.

Wei Dong was both amused and exasperated: "So this is where it all started. Yes, you're in charge of this factory. I was even saying that you'd get a share if a health product factory was built in the future. Think about it, there are dozens of bungalows that can be built here, enough for the factory manager and general manager... Damn it, what's the difference between this and welfare housing?"

We still need to think about it some more.

However, there are too many things to consider.

Yesterday, Wei Dong was only allowed to make an appearance after his return to boost morale; now, all senior management personnel are meeting to discuss their respective issues.

It was only at this point that Wei Dong brought up the concept of year-end bonus, which had never existed before.
