The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 534 How much money do you have?
Li Weidong's Versailles made Chen Guoxing and Wu Gang roll their eyes angrily, especially Wu Gang was even more depressed, and he also went into the sea, people are more angry than others!
"40% of the shares, you are not the largest single shareholder of BYD, are you?" Wu Gang said with his eyes wide open.

"You're so smart!" Li Weidong replied with the eyes of a kindergarten teacher.

After hearing Li Weidong's words, Wu Gang had to say in admiration: "Oh, I'm convinced, how do you have such a brain, how do you have such a good vision, you can always invest in this kind of company!"

Li Weidong asked in surprise: "You know this company too?"

BYD has not yet shown signs of making cars. Wu Gang is the vice president of a car company. The two are completely irrelevant industries. There is no reason to pay attention to him!
"I understand that batteries for electronics and other digital products are relatively powerful, and they account for a high proportion of the mobile phone battery market!" Wu Gang said casually.

Wu Gang also got to know BYD because of an accident. His wife bought a digital camera made by Panasonic, but the child accidentally dropped it and the battery fell out.

When he was about to put the battery back in, he found that the name of the battery was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he didn't care at the time.

When charging the mobile phone that night, I suddenly realized that the battery used in the mobile phone and the battery on the digital camera have the same logo, so I became interested and wanted to see what kind of company it was.

I searched the Internet myself, and I found a lot of content about BYD batteries. Looking at the name, I thought it was a foreign company, but it was a domestic company.

After some research, I found out that it is not only a domestic Bird mobile phone, but also a supplier of foreign international companies such as Ph.D., Philips, Panasonic and Motorola.

Moreover, in order to enter the battery market in other countries, it has also established research institutions, branches, and offices abroad. Strictly speaking, it can be regarded as a multinational company.

There are even news reports that BYD is seeking to go public in Hong Kong to open up the financial sector and seek greater development.

After doing such a research, Wu Gang felt that this company is very powerful, and it was only a few years after its establishment that it was able to achieve this level, and he was full of admiration.

Now that I heard from Li Weidong that this is also his company and still has 40% of the shares, isn't there a lot of emotion in my heart!
Now it seems that with the support of Li Weidong and the help of a series of companies that he doesn't understand, the probability of BYD's success in listing on Hong Kong Island is close to [-]%.

Thinking of this question, Wu Gang asked curiously: "I heard that they are going to go public, is it true?"

After listing, it is not a small company. It is estimated that it is easy to contribute hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to Li Weidong's net worth, and judging by Li Weidong's attitude, the future development potential must be good.

"Is it possible to go public?" Li Weidong hesitated and said.

Years ago, he let out rumors to support everyone going public. Now many related companies under his name want to go public, but going public is an easy task. Just wait in line. It’s normal to queue for three or two years, so he also wants to go public. Not too concerned!
Wu Gang said with emotion: "You are amazing. A company with such a large shareholding ratio will not pay attention to such a big event when it goes public. Is it because the net worth is too rich to bother to pay attention?"

Wu Gang rolled his eyes and asked, "How much are they worth when they go public, and will they grow in the future? Should I also buy some of their stocks?"

If it is true, then you can really buy some stocks. With Li Weidong's character guarantee, the possibility of losing money is very small. Anyway, the money in your hand is idle.

Li Weidong said: "It's hard to say how much, but it must be worth a few hundred million. Otherwise, I wouldn't be ashamed to go public. As for buying their stocks, it would be appropriate. Buy hundreds of thousands now. After 20 years, when your son gets married, you can definitely give it to him." He bought a villa in the capital."

"Several hundred million? It's not small. I can buy a villa by investing hundreds of thousands, but you can buy this building!" Wu Gang said with emotion.

When he was free these few days, he also took a casual stroll in the capital to look around, especially paying attention to a few newly opened houses, and there was no one within the second ring road that was less than [-].

The price between the second and third ring roads is about 9000 to [-]. There is a community called Kangbao Garden at the entrance of the Workers' Sports Management Office.

Even on the edge of the Fourth Ring Road, it costs six to seven thousand yuan. If it is less than 5000 yuan, it is estimated that it can only go to a few surrounding counties!
Then Wu Gang asked curiously: "Can you tell us the truth, how much money do you have?"

Chen Guoxing also urged from the side: "Yes, yes, yes, you are said to be rich, but no matter how I think about that rich list, I feel that something is wrong. You should show us everything!"

Ever since Chen Guoxing knew that the aircraft carrier was donated by Li Weidong, he began to speculate on how much money Li Weidong had.

Seven or eight years ago, he was able to donate more than one hundred million US dollars. How much money he had to have the courage to donate. Anyway, now his salary is two to three thousand, and it feels distressing for him to donate two to three hundred!
Moreover, Li Weidong's business must be getting bigger and bigger. He used to be so rich, but now he must have more money. Besides, how many billions are the billions mentioned on the rich list!

"If you want to borrow money, there is no way!" Li Weidong will not be fooled, in fact he is not sure, after all, his wealth is changing every moment, in short, it is a lot.

And he has no way to say it. If he tells the truth, he is afraid of scaring these classmates. If he tells lies, he will feel sorry for his old classmates, so it is right not to tell them.

Li Weidong's friendship with his old classmates was not to show off his wealth, so it's meaningless to say these things.

"No, what were we talking about just now? Why are you always talking elsewhere? Can you do it? Don't hold back, give me a correct sentence!" Li Weidong was led astray by these two guys.

Electric cars, he definitely wants to do it. Of course, he can't do it himself. He has to find someone who is trustworthy, capable, and preferably has relevant experience.

However, domestic electric vehicles are still just a concept, they are only in the theoretical research or experimental stage, and they are still crossing the river by feeling the stones. It is impossible to find a completely suitable one.

Therefore, we can only lower the requirements, find someone with relevant experience in the automotive industry to grasp the overall situation, and then look for other fields to grasp the parts, and finally realize the combination of sub-total and total.

In this way, there are too many people who can use it. For the overall control, battery, and motor, each finds his own mother!

The choice of Wu Gang just happened to coincide with the meeting. He attended the meeting and still had some thoughts in his mind. Of course, he was not the only choice. It all depended on how Wu Gang chose.

"Do it, of course I did, you have so much money, if I don't spend more for you, how do you spend it!" Wu Gang said immediately.

This is an opportunity.

Zhao Dongsheng, a person who graduated from a technical secondary school, seized the opportunity with Li Weidong, and now he can sit on an equal footing with him. He is the vice president of production of the company, and his qualifications are older than him!
"Then it's settled. When you go back, organize manpower research, and then write a detailed plan. Whoever you need, whether it's recruitment or selection, it's up to you!"

"Electric vehicles are almost zero in China. It must be difficult for us to start from scratch. However, many companies abroad are already doing research. You can go abroad to investigate and see if there are suitable talents. Don't be afraid to spend money!"

"In addition, don't be too eager for success. This is a new thing in China. I don't think there will be any specific policies during the "Tenth Five-Year Plan".

"But this time will not be too long. During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, specific policies, regulations and norms should be introduced, and small-scale encouragement and pilot projects will be carried out!"

"We want to try to appear on the pilot list, so this is a long-term and persistent job, and there is also a certain amount of pressure. You have to be prepared!"

"My dear, you have to invest for ten years in a row to be able to make a profit. This thing is really beyond the reach of ordinary people. Brother admires you!" Chen Guoxing took a breath when he heard this.

It didn't take them ten years to build an aircraft carrier. Of course, what they did was imitate. There were also many experts from Ukraine, including the general design of this aircraft carrier.

Wu Gang knows what this mental preparation means. It is very painful not to see the company's output value and profits for a long time.

Secondly, it is definitely not as comfortable as his current vice president.

Now he is the deputy general manager in charge of sales. In his business scope, everyone has to respect and support him. I'm afraid he won't be so famous in the future.

Wu Gang pondered for a moment and said, "Can we have technical cooperation with the school, so that we can gain some advantages in terms of policy. Our school has a vehicle engineering major!"

"And the level of transmission technology, electronic technology, suspension technology, etc. has already taken the lead in China, and the transmission and suspension have even reached the international advanced level!"

Cheng Guoxing interrupted and reminded: "Most of the research fields in our school are military vehicles or other armored vehicles, which are somewhat different from commercial vehicles, and the school may not necessarily agree with it!"

Li Weidong also nodded and said: "How about this, let me talk to Teacher Wang first, and let him come up with an idea. It will be the best if it works, but if it doesn't work, you have to figure it out yourself!"

Before the two of them had any reaction, they said, "I'm starving to death, hurry up and eat. The Tan family's dishes in the Jingcheng Restaurant are the most authentic. Let's go and taste them for him today!"

The direct heirs of Tan’s cuisine are in the Jingcheng Restaurant, and the various versions of private kitchen dishes in the old alleys of the capital are also very good.

Moreover, the successors of all generations of Tan family cuisine have taken in many apprentices, and many apprentices have come out to do it themselves. Tan family cuisine has not applied for a patent, and anyone can do it.

As for who is authentic, everyone has their own reasons, but in terms of momentum, the Jingcheng Hotel has a good foundation, so it is naturally much stronger.

The taste is not the same thing. Everyone has improved and always thinks their own is good. Anyway, Li Weidong has eaten it a few times and he doesn't think there is anything particularly magical about it.

"Let's go, I'm starving to death. I drank a lot of wine last night. It's useless to fart. If I'm not too sleepy, I'm so hungry that I can't sleep!" Chen Guoxing immediately became excited when he heard the food.

Wu Gang wasn't thinking about electric cars either. The ten-year cycle was not too short of a meeting or two, so he echoed, "Yes, today we're going to eat big players. We don't choose the right ones. We only order expensive ones. What's more expensive? Sea cucumber, shark's fin and abalone, what's so expensive!"

As soon as they opened the door, they saw that the door on the opposite side was also open. Ding Yuan was fully dressed, stood up and walked towards the door. He must have been staring at this door just now!

He is a bodyguard. He was embarrassed to disturb Li Weidong and his classmates, so he opened a room at the opposite door. Since morning, this door has not been closed. He and another bodyguard have been paying attention to the situation of Li Weidong's door!
A few people came to the seventh floor, and it was already past the meal time, and there were fewer people at noon than at night, and there were still many seats.

The waiter greeted warmly, asked if there was no reservation, and learned that he was a hotel guest, so he led them to a box, took out the menu, and recommended several signature dishes.

Although Wu Gang and Chen Guoxing said that they wanted to eat a big family, they actually ordered food. Looking at the prices on the menu, they felt heartache again. Especially Chen Guoxing, one dish was enough for half a month's living expenses.

Moreover, he lived and worked in a secret unit all year round, and he still knew too little about Li Weidong, so he whispered: "Why don't we change places, my own people, there is no need to waste this money!"

Then he suggested: "I think the Jingcheng restaurant we ate at last night is not bad, why change to the Jingcheng restaurant, why is there such a big price difference!"

Li Weidong glanced at the waitress who was busy pouring water, and said in a low voice: "Are you kidding, let's just go out like this, and we won't be laughed to death by this young lady!"

Chen Guoxing glanced at the waiter, then at Li Weidong, and said meaningfully: "You don't think you have any idea because the waiter is beautiful?"

Li Weidong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he stopped teasing Chen Guoxing, "What a mess, we just eat like this every day. Except for the three highs, we will never eat poor me!"

After finishing speaking, Li Weidong stopped ordering. He closed the menu and said to the waiter, "Miss Sister, bring us all the signature dishes you just recommended!"

The waiter wondered what the name "Miss Sister?" was, but he still replied enthusiastically and professionally: "Okay sir, do you have any taboos?"

Li Weidong looked at the appearance of the two classmates, as if there should be no other taboos except hunger, so he said, "No, hurry up!"

"Okay sir, do you guys need drinks?" Several signature dishes have already earned her a lot of service commission, and if you order two bottles of high-end white wine and red wine, the commission will be even higher.

"Tea is fine, but there is no need for wine. What I drank yesterday still tastes bad!" Wu Gang waved his hand and declined.

The waitress saw that Li Weidong also nodded, and said, "Yes sir, you ordered a total of six dishes and one soup!"

Then he explained several dishes and soups in full. After Li Weidong nodded in agreement, the young lady gave the menu to another waiter at the door and stayed in the room to serve.

If you want guests to pay the service fee, you have to be warm and considerate. It is the basic quality not to leave guests alone in the room.

The dishes were served very quickly. This speed met Li Weidong's requirements, but it also made him feel like he was eating leftovers. None of these signature dishes could be served so quickly.

It is estimated that it was extra prepared at noon, and it was not specially prepared for the person who made the reservation. The heat and time of the meal are very important. More or less will affect the taste. People who are particular about it are stuck, just right.

However, this is the only way to deal with Li Weidong's sudden visit without an appointment.

It's just that Li Weidong hadn't finished his meal yet, Chen Jun hurried over with an anxious face, whispered something in his ear, and handed him a dozen pages of documents printed in English.

Li Weidong took the document and frowned when he saw that it was in English.

Seeing Li Weidong's frown, Chen Jun quickly explained in a low voice: "The incident was too sudden and time was tight, so there is no translation!"
