My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 841 A Sneak Attack Without Care

To Wei Dong's surprise, he soon saw Yu Songhai.

The three reporters didn't mention this to him.

I visited the White Building in the afternoon, had dinner with my parents, and then went back to the factory area.

Naturally, they played basketball and ate barbecue skewers. Xiaodie's schoolbag was brought back from kindergarten by her classmates.

Even though I sent her to kindergarten early this morning, she secretly slipped out and waited by the car.

Dong Xueqing was puzzled as to how she knew her father was coming back.

Wei Dong laughed and carried it with him the whole time, even taking it with him to eat skewers.

Now he travels to Hong Kong more often, comes into contact with doctors and hospitals, and is gradually finding some similar experiences with medical treatment as he did decades later.

The mainland is indeed still lagging far behind overall at this point.

It would be good enough if they could do a good job in public health; their comprehensive medical conditions are far from adequate.

Anyway, he instructed his daughter to deliver meat skewers to the reporter uncle and get beer from the aunties and grandmas. The four-year-old was running around everywhere.

You can tell she's happy. Most importantly, she's making eye contact now, instead of staring blankly with a vacant look in her eyes like before.

This is how we escape the abyss of autism.

In short, even the most knowledgeable reporters couldn't tell the difference.

The atmosphere of the factory area felt similar to that of the state-owned factories they were familiar with, but those were the prosperous states of a few years ago. With the advancement of reform and opening up, state-owned factories have been gradually declining.

That's why I feel this place is brimming with vitality; maybe we can come up with new ideas to save so many state-owned factories.

Wei Dong invited them to visit the Xishan Electronics Building again tomorrow, which is the new state-owned factory's transformation.

As a result, the print reporters, excluding the editor-in-chief and photojournalists, made long-distance calls to the newspaper to report on their experiences from Jicheng to the train over the past two or three days.

When he returned, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly asked Wei Dong to arrange for someone to find the newspapers from the past two days.

That's right, this "state-owned assets, private ownership" reform idea has been published in the Sunshine Daily and several other major newspapers!

The innovative explorations of Comrade Wei Dong were listed by name.

This was the first time Wei Dong had ever seen this combination of four characters, and he felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

It's just that most people in the factory don't look at the front page, otherwise Dong Xueqing would have found it for him long ago.

No wonder the political commissar and others from the infrastructure team were so serious during today's game.

He managed to keep a straight face and chatted with the reporters for a few minutes, saying that he also needed to find out what was going on.

Having just brought her daughter home, Dong Xueqing was humming a little tune as she fiddled with today's reports on her high-end Mac folding computer.

She made Wei Dong throw the newspaper at her, and angrily tapped on the articles with her finger, especially her own name.

They captured Black Pearl and used her to call Pyeongkyung.

That's how it was before cell phones; there was no 24/7 communication.

What's more, Wei Dong has been on the train for the past two or three days.

The staff on duty at the Pingjing branch immediately switched to Yu Xiaoqiu's side. The secretary working overtime at the service center assumed it was his attitude: "It's that uncle from your hometown. He sounds quite knowledgeable in theory. He was the one who told the reporters."

Wei Dong would never dare to introduce You Qili to everyone normally; he's a super conman who can bewitch people all over the country.

The introduction was vague, and Yu Xiaoqiu and the others were told not to interact with this guy too much.

So now he's unusually irritable: "Where is he?! Tell him to get lost!"

Pingjing girl has a strong ability to withstand pressure and was able to respond properly: "He's already left. He flew to Guangzhou with our letter of introduction. I was the one who arranged the ticket for him. What, I think he said it was pretty good?"

Yes, everyone who sees it will feel excited and joyful. It's great; it's well-founded and supported by classical allusions.

It also didn't go in the wrong direction, but discussed solutions to the generally poor performance of state-owned enterprises under the current economic situation.

State-owned assets managed by private entities—isn't it just that the assets still belong to the state, but are handed over to individuals to operate? It's quite reasonable for them to be rewarded if they make a profit and compensated if they lose money.

Dong Xueqing came over, puzzled, holding the newspaper with a confused look on her face.

Yu Xiaoqiu was even more confused: "Then...should I go and ask Brother Wu about the situation? Oh, they haven't been occupying your office anymore. They haven't come since yesterday, and they even moved a TV, video recorder, and refrigerator to your office."

Wei Dong could only sigh, "Alright, alright, let's leave it at that for now. No need to contact Wu Xi, I..."

Trying to do something haphazardly right now will only make you a laughingstock.

He wanted to call Yuezhou to have someone keep an eye on You Qili, but then realized that killing him now would be pointless; the die was cast.

All he could do was tell Yu Xiaoqiu: "If anyone following him reports anything, ask them to make sure you know the details. Be careful that this old bastard doesn't use me as a front to swindle people!"

Yu Xiaoqiu repeated softly, "Understood. I will report any developments immediately."

After Wei Dong hung up the phone, he complained to Erwa's mother: "State-owned enterprises and private enterprises... isn't that just individuals contracting out state-owned units? We succeeded because we had a bunch of genuine private enterprises helping us. We didn't care whether state-owned enterprises could make money or not. Now, Xishan Factory is even losing money. We funded the construction of such a large industrial park for the purpose of developing electronic research. Would anyone else do this? They would all take the opportunity to drain state-owned assets. There are too many ways to do this. After these guys go bankrupt, I'll hang them on the pillar of shame. You Qili, that bastard!" He shouted it out with great emotion.

In reality, he knew perfectly well that if this statement was correct, why hadn't he heard of it later?

If even a veteran security guard in a tax unit who is still considered part of the system doesn't have a well-known model, then it must not have been successful, or at least it's not mainstream.

How can individual will be restricted when contracting state-owned assets?

If restrictions are imposed, it won't be as privatized.

Let Wei Dong be an oddball; he knows where the biggest pitfalls are, and even if he doesn't understand, he'll avoid doing them.

If it were someone like You Qili, wielding enormous assets would be like a child driving a heavy truck onto a busy city street!

Such acts of personal extravagance and embezzlement of state assets are quite terrifying. Wasn't the collapse of the North Korean bloc a result of a large amount of assets being divided up by oligarchs?

Just like when he drove that American-style big boat in Detroit, Wei Dong realized that if you feel that something is definitely not going to be a winner, you should never bet on it.

Who knew that You Qili would go to such lengths to get into the inner circle of Wei Dong, even pushing his butt!

They even come up with theoretical justifications to create a set formula.

Just because Wei Dong can do it himself doesn't mean it can be used as an experience to promote to others.

So I was so angry I added, "You bastard!"

Xiaodie found it, and like a tiger-headed parrot, she immediately clenched her little fist and imitated her father: "Bastard!"

It's amazing how Wei Dong, who was initially furious, suddenly had all his anger melt away like ice and snow after hearing his daughter's childish scolding. He even burst out laughing.

She quickly knelt down in front of her daughter and apologized: "Okay, okay! Don't curse her, don't use foul language."

Xiaodie was full of confidence, clearly having shaken off the shadow of autism. She clenched her fists and defiantly shouted at her father, "Damn it! You bastard!"

Wei Dong burst into laughter, happily picked him up, and put him on his shoulders, trying to change the subject: "How are your kindergarten classmates? Where's your teacher?"

His daughter grabbed his ears from both sides and spurred him toward the door, yelling, "Damn it!"

Language communication was a problem, but as long as they could communicate, that was fine. Wei Dong then distracted himself, making noises as if he were the engine of a train.

He has always maintained this attitude: to influence those he can, so that more people can live a better life; and not to force things that he cannot influence.

Individuals are too insignificant.

Watching the father and daughter leave laughing and joking, Dong Xueqing's eyes were full of tenderness and smiles, but she didn't follow them. She put down the newspaper and sat back down in front of the computer, focusing her mind on the complex management data.

This allows Wei Dong to control all his businesses and industries in mainland China from here.

It felt like stepping back into that cramped yet cozy Dongfeng truck cab, where Wei Dong held the steering wheel while Dong Xueqing was the engine, ensuring the smooth operation of hundreds and thousands of parts.

However, Wei Dong's heavy truck is already a giant ship, attracting a lot of attention.

Information about his return to Jiangzhou likely spread as soon as he appeared in public. The first thing he heard from within Jiangzhou was a phone call: "Just back? Any work arrangements?"

Wei Dong skipped the pleasantries: "I don't have any plans, I'm just going home to see my wife and kids, they hardly recognize me anymore... These past few days on the train from Jicheng, I only saw some newspaper articles about state-owned enterprises being privately owned. It's a false proposition, there are many problems with it..."

The former leader of Shangzhou also called.

Wei Dong cursed directly: "That guy You Qili is just trying to gain fame by calling himself a tyrant. He's just trying to take advantage of this situation to pull off this kind of stunt..."

The old leader laughed heartily: "Seeking fame and fortune, huh? Now you know how powerful that is, right? He tasted the sweetness of success ten years ago..."

Old Fang, full of energy, immediately started scolding: "Why are you spouting all this theoretical nonsense? Can't you just focus on doing your job?"

Wei Dong was helpless: "I was just not paying attention, and this kind of guy can cause trouble. We can't do things like this."

Old Fang knew much better than him: "What does it mean to have state-owned assets but private ownership? Aren't I one of them? The entire investment promotion bureau was handed over to me to lead the work. You know the dangers involved better than I do. I'm wondering why you would say something like that!"

Wei Dong sighed, "Yes, it takes both the reckless spirit of exploration and the unwavering belief of absolute loyalty. It's very difficult for both of these qualities to coexist. I am far inferior to you in the latter, so how can I expect everyone to be able to do so?"

Old Fang laughed heartily: "Oh, so you look down on my business, huh..."

Hu Hai was even more direct: "I was wondering what was going on. I thought you were just touting your own model. Hurry up and come over. You said you were going to make some progress by October. How are you going to deliver results? Of course, putting aside all this theory, the career guidance at universities in Beijing is excellent. Why don't you hurry up and come to Hu Hai to hold a few sessions?"

That's why Wei Dongcai returned to Jiangzhou.

How can I face my wife and children if I leave right away?

So, scratching his head, Wei Dong suggested, "Let's go to Shanghai together. You can take your portable computer with you to work. We've talked about mobile office before. I'll find a software company to provide you with manpower to test and improve the software, and then we'll get it and sell it to Citibank for a lot of money."

Dong Xueqing glanced at him playfully and said, "Shanghai is Xiaoye's territory. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to go there? She'll be coming to Jiangzhou soon."

Wei Dong quickly declared domineeringly, "Ignore that lunatic! I'm the boss!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Fengchu launched a sneak attack.
