The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 397 Invitation Letter
Hearing what Li Weidong said, Chen Gu didn't dare to be polite anymore, so he quickly found a seat and sat down, and when he saw Gao Anbang was about to pour him tea, he quickly stood up again.

"Mr. Gao can't let you pour tea, I'll do it!" He said and grabbed the teapot and cup, first refilled it for Li Weidong, and then refilled it for Gao Anbang and Li Weimin.

"Mr. Chen, you're too polite, there's no reason to ask a guest to pour tea!" Li Weimin watched Chen Gu pour tea for himself, said politely, and tapped his fingers on the table twice.

Li Weidong frowned as he looked at it, which was a bit exaggerated. Although he tapped his fingers to express his gratitude, the politeness was a thank you to the waiters and those who were inferior to him.

Because in social etiquette, it is difficult to meet a distinguished person pouring tea for you, and you are still talking to others, it is too late to thank you with words, you can only express it with your fingers, which is too impolite.

"I know that I still ask guests to pour tea for you. I don't understand politeness at all. Lao Chen, sit down!" Li Weidong said aloud, what others can't say, he has to say, this is at home, if he is outside, let others see joke.

Li Weimin also smiled embarrassingly. No matter what his brother said, he would definitely not refute it in front of outsiders, no matter whether it was right or wrong, and it was indeed a bit rude.

In terms of age, he is the youngest, in terms of net worth, he is the least, and in terms of host and guest, he is considered half a master, so no matter from which point of view, there is nothing wrong with him serving the bureau today.

"It's a matter of convenience, how can there be any impoliteness, and what kind of guest am I? I remember that I came to you eight hundred times a day, and I came here every day to eat and drink!"

Chen Gu sat in his seat, poured himself a cup, and said with a smile.

With a smiling face accompanying him, Chen Gu thought in his heart that he would never get the treatment of a guest here, and not only him, but most people would not be treated as a guest here.

Although Li Weimin and Gao Anbang are his second parties in business, they can be regarded as half of his bosses from Li Weidong's point of view, so he, the first party, has no airs.

Anxia Real Estate has developed greatly under his management, and its scale has doubled several times. Even if his shares are not many, he is still worth over [-] million yuan.

There are also people with names and surnames on the rich list. No matter where he goes, he is a man who shits in a hut and faces outward, but in front of Li Weidong, he feels that he is not a fart. Even if there is only Ansha Real Estate, Li Weidong’s shares are also his eighty-nine. times.

And Li Weidong is not the only company under his name, even in the real estate industry, he is not alone.

The key point is that Chen Gu knows that with the current scale of Anxia Real Estate, the ranking in the enterprises under Li Weidong's name is getting lower and lower, which means that his status will also be getting lower and lower.

Chen Gu was among the first group of people to follow Li Weidong, and Li Weidong didn't hide many things from him, so he knew more about the companies under Li Weidong's name.

But it was because of this that he knew how powerful Li Weidong was, and he had quietly earned huge assets abroad, which had already surpassed those at home by an unknown amount.

Chen Gu stopped his thoughts, some things can't be thought too much, it's easy to make himself depressed if he thinks too much, and he's richer than Li Weidong, isn't that uncomfortable!
And he has gained a lot. In the whole circle of relatives and friends, no one would say that he is amazing!

"Brother, your tea is really good. It has a strong aroma and lasts for a long time. Could it be that the authentic Dahongpao is produced on those three tea trees?" Chen Gu took a sip of the tea and began to show off, admiring repeatedly.

As he grows older and the company expands, Chen Gu calls Li Weidong the chairman most of the time. He seldom calls Li Weidong according to the rules of the world, but occasionally when there are few people, he still calls him that when he mentions the past. .

"Oh, I haven't seen you for three days. I'm impressed. Not only have I learned how to taste tea, but I also know the three tea trees on the Kowloon nest. It's not bad, it's good!" Li Weidong said in agreement.

Hearing Li Weidong's words, Chen Gu thought it was true, and carefully looked at the tea leaves in the teapot with a surprised expression on his face.

Seeing Chen Gu's surprised look, Li Weidong said with disgust, "What are you thinking, a few hundred grams a year, I can't even see it, and I wouldn't entertain you if I had it!"

The rumors of the Nine Dragons Nest Dahongpao became more and more evil. As for whether it is really that good, Li Weidong has never drank it, so he doesn't know.

"Hehe, it's okay for me to drink a catty. Drinking tea is really a waste. How can I get it out? I don't know that all the tea here is good. I can still see this Dahongpao, so this Why don't you just cover it up!"

Chen Gu chuckled and didn't take it seriously, he could pretend to be a successful person in front of others, but he had nothing to pretend to be in front of Li Weidong, he couldn't!

Recently, Chen Gu's name has been listed on the rich list, and he is often interviewed by some TV stations, newspapers and magazines. In order to improve his personality, he specially invited teachers to teach him those courses to improve his personality.

There are all kinds of things taught, as long as you can improve your skills, you have learned golf, red wine, and tea ceremony. Naturally, you have a little superficial research on tea, but it’s useless, and it’s so tiring.

In the end, it was Li Weidong's words that made him feel really right, "Don't talk if you have nothing to do, and you will be naturally high-quality!"

After learning so much, he will be able to distinguish what kind of tea and what the best tea is. If he is asked to taste it with his eyes closed, he will probably have the same taste.

"It's not bad for you, but it's not from the three tea trees, but from the branches cut from him. The taste is just like that!"

The person who gave this tea was Hu Jian, a glass maker, and Jingwei Investment was the major shareholder of his company. It was natural to give Li Weidong a gift, and it should be given in a brilliant way.

As for whether the tea tree of this tea was multiplied by those three mother trees, Li Weidong still believed it. After all, the relationship between them is quite powerful, so this thing can be done.

"If you can make such an evaluation, this tea must be extraordinary. If you don't want to drink it, I'll take it away?" Chen Gu said with a smile. Li Weidong can say that it is good tea, so it is good tea.

"Give it to you? That would be a waste. If you come to me during the New Year's Eve, you can just come here empty-handed. Why do you want to bring it back? Let alone the door, there are no windows!"

Several people laughed loudly, Chen Gu didn't feel embarrassed at all, he was still one of his own if he brought a gift!
"Chairman, can I discuss something with you?" Several people chatted for a while, and Chen Gu felt that the atmosphere was good, so he opened his mouth.

"I want Anxia Real Estate to be listed!" Chen Gu said with some trepidation when he saw Li Weidong nodding.

They all know that Li Weidong's attitude towards the company's listing is very vague, and he never took the initiative to mention it, otherwise it would not have been so many years, and there are very few listed companies.

These people often get together to talk about this matter. The most discussed is that after the listing, the company needs to disclose more things, and Li Weidong is a person who likes to keep a low profile.

But there are too many benefits for a company to go public. Apart from being able to raise a lot of money and not having to repay it, there are many other real benefits.

As the valuation rises, the wealth of shareholders will increase rapidly, which can be called a wealth-creating machine, and this is also something Chen Gu values ​​more.

Both promotion and publicity are good for the company's image and brand, so although there are disadvantages of going public, they are insignificant compared with these benefits.

Li Weidong didn't speak, but calculated in his mind that there should be quite a few of his subordinates who have this kind of thinking. Chen Gu's seniority is probably a representative of them.

"Okay, I have no objection, but you have to understand that after listing, it will not be so casual, and many businesses must be regulated!" Li Weidong felt that he had no good reason to stop them from making a fortune.

"I have consulted with Wanguo Securities, and some standards may have some impact, but other impacts are not large, and our financial performance has been doing very well these years!"

Chen Gu was very happy. Unexpectedly, Li Weidong agreed without even asking why. It seems that the previous guesses about Li Weidong were too narrow. People did not mention listing because the company has not been short of money for development.

"I discussed with Mr. Yu of Wanguo Securities. With our current scale, referring to Vanke's allotment financing situation some time ago, the raised funds are about [-]-[-] million, or even higher, which is very important for our capital replenishment and company expansion. There are great benefits!" Chen Gu said excitedly.

"Yu Yuan is a professional. He knows a lot about policies, and it's good to communicate more!" Li Weidong nodded.

Yu Yuan has the title of No. 1 in China's stock market, but he had no choice but to resign due to the 327 incident. At that time, Li Weidong had already planned to take a stake in Wanguo Securities, so he took the initiative to solicit and promised a high position.

Yu Yuan was naturally unwilling to leave the industry he was familiar with, and Li Weidong gave him a good salary, and the cakes were huge, so he was naturally willing to pay.

And Yu Yuan has indeed lived up to his title of No.1 in China's stock market. He has made Wanguo Securities a success and has become a big brother in China's stock market.

However, Li Weidong opened his own securities company, but the irony is that there are not many companies listed under his name, which is similar to slapping himself in the face.

In order to raise funds and go public, Li Weidong does not need it yet.

It is estimated that his funds in the United States will start to be realized soon. Although it is difficult to transfer to mainland China on a large scale, it is not difficult to enter Hong Kong Island through some means after a few hands.

Chen Gu got an affirmative answer from Li Weidong, and he was happy. He didn't care about Li Weidong's lunch at noon, so he ran away in a hurry. He had to hurry up and prepare a report, the sooner the better, don't wait for Li Weidong to go back on his word.

After lunch, Li Weimin and Gao Anbang went to the Lily Garden after a short break to carefully arrange tomorrow's ceremony. This is a good opportunity for them to broaden their contacts.

Others can give Li Weidong face, but Li Weimin and Gao Anbang may not be easy to deal with. Although they know that this is Li Weidong's brother, but Li Weidong doesn't speak up, others may not give this face, so some connections have to be managed by themselves.

Li Weidong stayed at home. He originally wanted to go to the old man next door to play chess and chat, but seeing the gloomy and cold weather, he gave up this idea.

Not going out does not mean that you can't play chess. After years of training, Ding Yuan's chess level has also made great progress. It is not easy for Li Weidong to win when he cheers up.

Seeing that Li Weidong was about to win this game, a sound came from the earphones that Ding Yuan had been wearing.

"Boss, a few people came outside the door, saying they are from the Navy, and want to see you?" Ding Yuan said to Li Weidong after listening to the voice in the earphone.

"Hai*jun, when did we deal with the navy? Could it be that Ma Chao and his transportation company had a problem?" Li Weidong was supposed to be a general, but he was stunned and said after hearing Ding Yuan's words.

Relying on two [-]-ton cargo ships, Ma Chao and Yan Wenshou operated the shipping business of neighboring countries, and they did a good job, and gradually added several ships of similar tonnage.

During the financial crisis a few years ago, we took the opportunity to acquire two ocean shipping companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy, expanding the company's scale at once and truly realizing ocean shipping.

Therefore, Li Weidong's first reaction to being able to be related to the Navy was whether there was a problem with the transportation company.

"Let them come in, or let's meet them at the door!" Li Weidong put down the chess, Ding Yuan was completely checkmate, and stood up, ready to meet these people.

Although Li Weidong knew a lot of officials, and he was a high-ranking official, sometimes it would be fine to make a few jokes when he met a soldier, but he felt a little uneasy when he met a soldier.

Li Weidong greeted them at the door, and Ding Yuan hurriedly asked the security guards to let them in, and used the walkie-talkie to keep the bodyguards on alert. Protecting Li Weidong's safety was their top priority, and sometimes they even did some illegal things.

An Audi car drove over slowly. Li Weidong looked at the license plate and wondered, there was nothing special about it. The car stopped and a few soldiers in civilian clothes got out.

Why is it determined to be a soldier, because you can tell it at a glance!

"Hello, Chairman Li, I am the staff officer of our military * area, and this is Colonel Liu of the Navy!" A comrade in his 30s smiled and wrote to Li Weidong.

People recognized Li Weidong at a glance. Naturally, he had done work. Before Li Weidong could react, Colonel Liu saluted Li Weidong and shook hands. He was almost a good friend.

"Hello, Colonel Liu, welcome, please come in!" Li Weidong didn't know what to do, but his attitude shouldn't be a bad thing, just the strength of his salute and handshake.

After entering the yard, there were fewer people around, and those who followed Colonel Liu were all waiting outside.

"Chairman Li, this is my certificate. I am here to visit you this time, and I am ordered to send you an invitation letter, please accept it!" He took out the certificate from his jacket pocket and handed it to Li Weidong.

Li Weidong took the certificate, but before it was opened, Colonel Liu took out another envelope from his bag and handed it to Li Weidong with both hands.

Li Weidong felt that there should be something wrong. Could it be that he has amnesia? What is the invitation letter for? He opened the ID card in his hand suspiciously, and the photos and military ranks matched, so he didn't see any problems.

Then he took the envelope, which was sealed. Li Weidong took the scissors handed over by Ding Yuan, cut it carefully, opened it for a look, and immediately stood up in surprise.

"Is this true?" Li Weidong asked in surprise.
