My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 893 Children All Need to Be Taught

But this tactic of striking a chord to intimidate others is truly effective.

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.

Without a sound oversight mechanism, various problems are bound to arise.

What Dong Xueqing saw was the general ledger. The accounts from the branch office to the head office were fine, but there were still many loopholes to exploit downstream.

Having worked in grassroots sales himself, Wei Dong was all too familiar with this situation.

However, expanding the supervisory team now would be a waste of valuable human resources and a missed opportunity for numerous industries.

Intimidation is the simplest way to clear one's name.

When Yu Qili arrived at the hotel in the middle of the night, he saw a bustling scene of people holding meetings in groups all night long.

The migrant workers were relocated to Building 5 to spend the night. They could sleep on the ground floor of the shopping mall, which was closed at night, and there was heating so it wouldn't be cold.

Each person was given a suit, shirt, and leather shoes made in Jiangzhou from the second half of the clothing mall.

Leung Ka-fai continued to mingle among them.

The next morning, Wei Dong changed into a sharp suit from his own brand and came over. He never cared about those few high-end suits that Qin Yuye had customized in Hong Kong and California.

His current aura is undeniable, even when he's wearing a tattered cotton-padded coat.

The man who wasn't wearing a tie came over carrying his daughter and led everyone to the back alley to queue for breakfast.

If it's divided among several stores, there's bound to be some swelling.

The sudden influx of young men in suits onto the street drew a barrage of complaints from the elderly residents, who assumed it was some kind of political movement disrupting their daily lives and causing them to waste a lot of time queuing.

Soy milk, fried dough sticks, flatbread, pan-fried buns, fried dough balls, scallion pancakes.

Dong Xueqing, carrying her son, took Lamu and Zhuoma to each shop to pay.

It's quite like a young couple starting a startup, doing everything themselves.

After we finally got to eat, we strolled to the Bund, walked past the busy commuters crossing the river to work in the morning, and followed the riverbank to the observation deck near the X Computer store at the Glass Pyramid.

This is probably the only exclusive store in the entire country that sells unlimited quantities.

Xiaodie rode on her father's shoulders, hugging his head tightly and getting close to him.

As my father pointed to the massive building framework that had already taken shape on the opposite bank, he said, “Some of you were transferred from the X Building construction site across the river to the automotive industrial park. Experience how your work and life are gradually changing. You won’t just have construction sites and factories in your eyes every day. Maybe you will stay in Shanghai to start a family and build a career, or you will be transferred to various places to lead teams to conquer new markets. I hope that a few years or decades from now, you will still remember the dream you had at this time to try to change something, instead of being like some salespeople who have already lost their way in money.”

The men in black suits were no longer flustered; they all crowded around their leader, trying their best to hear his thoughts.

To be precise, the sales team grew too fast from the very beginning, and many of them were not actually Wei Dong's direct subordinates, and some had never even met him.

It was only the sales enthusiasts in universities in provincial capitals across the country who, with their boldness and quick thinking, seized the opportunity to occupy the untapped areas.

It rose rapidly following the sudden opening of a money-making opportunity.

On the contrary, it was the core members of the infrastructure team and the automobile manufacturing members who repeatedly followed Wei Dong in his battles.

I listened very attentively.

Wei Dong pointed to the glass pyramid and said, "Let me tell you about this case. An imported IBM computer sells for around 20,000 yuan, while our manufactured X computer, without a monitor, costs just over 500 yuan, and even with that, it's only a little over 1,000 yuan. If we follow the logic of businessmen, we can sell it for at least 10,000 yuan without any competitors."

"But we not only sell at this price, but also in China, in addition to supplying banks and the financial system, we also send them to primary, secondary and tertiary schools at half price. We try to hold onto them and do our best to exchange our production capacity for foreign exchange abroad. Why is that?"

"Some people may say that our low prices suppress the prospects of research and development in other departments and companies. I think this is squeezing out a lot of ineffective research investment. Now that Europe and the United States have proven the right direction, we should focus on catching up instead of pretending to work hard while slacking off. This is the current situation of many domestic research institutes and state-owned R&D units."

"But should we give up just because of these realities? The biggest reason we haven't opened up the domestic computer market is that we need to accumulate strength so that domestic consumers can use advanced computers that will last for five to ten years, instead of giving countless families half-finished products that will become outdated. So the Pengzhen Semiconductor Factory is about to achieve this goal. Next year will be a crucial moment for the domestic rollout of advanced 386 computers and domestically produced Dodge cars. If any of you want to do sales, you can try to switch careers, but I hope you remember what I said. Why are we doing this?"

So at this point, Wei Dong laughed instead: "I spent a lot of time in Hong Kong this year, and I saw even more of the splendor and decadence. I feel that those comrades who are fighting on the battlefield of sales and foreign affairs have it even harder because they face more material temptations and more dark setbacks. If they get a little addicted to it, they will turn their ideals and beliefs into a life of pleasure. The choice is in your hands: do you want to leave something behind in your short few decades of life, or do you just want to live a comfortable life?"

After saying that, he gestured in the direction: "Let's go. First, we'll visit a few companies in Building 5, then we'll look at two or three hotels over here. After the morning rush hour for commuters is over, we'll take a car to the Electronic Development Zone to compete with the sales team. The purpose of our national conference is to improve together!"

Everyone said yes in unison.

Something went wrong.

Nearly two hundred young people dressed in black suits crowded around the Bund observation deck. How conspicuous!

Even after twenty or thirty years, the police will come and question whether it is an illegal gathering.

They are more vigilant now, and the city's buildings are right here, making it easier to attract attention.

Moreover, quite a few tourists actually gathered around out of curiosity.

So a group of people walked along the Bund back to Building No. 5, and happened to pass by the city building where people were just starting their workday. Security personnel came over to question them.

Then, seeing the leader who had taken the lead and had his daughter's place, he was a little amused and exasperated: "Comrade Weidong, you're a leading cadre now. Shouldn't you come to report on your work when you get back to the city? Why are you still out there admiring the scenery!"

He lowered his voice and reminded them, "The city has asked several times already. We've even gone to Building 5 to inquire about your itinerary. Hurry up!"

I can say that Wei Dong is the kind of person who won't have much of an impact if I'm not there for a while, but the future development mindset and direction of a group of young people is the key area that I can truly influence.

Therefore, whether in Jiangzhou, Pengzhen, Shanghai, or Beijing, the priority is always to visit college students and youth teams, and only after things are in order will they go out and report to others.

He could only nod and hand over the team to Dong Xueqing to lead. However, he wanted to take his daughter away, but Xiaodie hugged him tightly with both hands and feet, tears streaming down her face. She really missed her.

Then bring it with you; it's not like we haven't been there before.

He also gestured with his eyes for Liang Jiahui to go back and get his things.

I had to carry my daughter across the street under the proud and admiring gazes of everyone. It took a lot of persuasion before she finally let go and walked on her own, and I even had to bend down to reach her and hold her hand.

Watching their not-so-dominant leader disappear amidst the throng must have left an indelible mark on everyone's hearts.

He turned around and treated Dong Xueqing with the utmost respect, repeatedly calling her "sister-in-law."

Fengchu would rather everyone call her Second Sister-in-law; she's heartbroken.

However, bringing his daughter back here again still made Wei Dong feel a bit emotional, as almost everyone had changed.

Fortunately, someone who had seen Xiaodie before must have remembered her well: "Are you feeling better?"

How many people would dare to bring their children to discuss business?

Wei Dong quickly replied, "I'm much better. I'm in kindergarten in Jiangzhou. I haven't seen you for months and I can't bear to leave you. Say hello to your uncle..."

She probably sensed that her father's hand had involuntarily clenched a little tighter.

Xiaodie changed her catchphrase and bowed, saying, "Hello, Uncle!"

The one who could apply the knowledge to other situations called everyone "Uncle," but he was clearly just going through the motions and didn't even look up. He called an older woman the same way, which made her happy and she reached out to hug him.

She quickly squeezed into her father's arms.

In short, the atmosphere was indeed made very relaxed.

Wei Dong then took the opportunity to introduce his situation in Hong Kong: "In my eyes, Hong Kong is also like a child who is attached to his parents but has lived alone outside for decades. Returning home to reunite with his family is one thing, but whether they can live well together is another issue. So now I spend more time in Hong Kong because of my foreign trade work, and I also promote cultural and sports projects to strengthen various ties with the mainland..."

The description of how the pier basketball court could be integrated with the commercial center to become a new landmark in Yau Tsim Mong has sparked a lot of anticipation in the city: "Is it possible to do the same in Shanghai?"

Wei Dong thought for a moment and said, "Comparing the locations, it's like doing this on the riverside near the Bund. It looks beautiful, but evacuating tens of thousands of spectators would be a real hassle. The density of people in downtown Shanghai is already very high, and the demolition costs would be very high. We could try doing it on a more remote side. Moreover, the biggest reason why Hong Kong does this is that they have a relatively mature subway and minibus system."

Someone immediately nodded: "It's being planned, it's being planned. The subway line 1 is currently being planned and site selection will begin as soon as possible. The basketball stadium and commercial center will also take several years to build, so it will fit in perfectly."

Wei Dong laughed and said, "Okay, I'll ask the city to let me know the route of the subway line later and see how we can consider it. Oh right, isn't the Hong Kong-based Tak Group going to apply for the construction of the commercial center? Should I team up with them to do it? I'll focus on reducing the commercial component of the basketball arena."

Chi Shiming had said long ago that De Erge really wanted to expand into the city, which is why he had to back down. As a result, after the battles for the cinemas and television stations, Wei Dong had already switched his chips to De Shu's second wife.

He first explained the process: "...We met through the TV series 'Shanghai Beach,' and formed a company by working on the Centennial Runfa advertising project. This collaboration on filming also went well, so while promoting basketball in Hong Kong, we also made several movies. This time, I came to Shanghai hoping to get one of the movies, which tells the story of educated youth playing chess, screened in mainland China. As a result, the founder of the Deshi Group invited me to talk at the cinema..."

Liang Jiahui had already gone to pick up the big bag.

The heavy boxes of film reels and videotapes underwent rigorous inspection. Standing outside the conference hall, I looked at the boss, who was talking eloquently while taking care of the child, with eyes full of admiration.

I really don't know if he'll ever play those slutty and despicable characters again in his lifetime.
