The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 562 Active Exposure
What Li Weidong was worried about still happened. The window paper was punctured by several authoritative foreign media, which almost exposed Li Weidong's old background.

The Wall Street Journal reported in a rather vague way, "According to relevant sources, Ribosi Holdings is jointly held by several companies registered in Cayman and the Virgin Islands!"

"And the actual controllers of these companies are certain Orientals. If this news is true, the ranking of the world's richest people may undergo earth-shaking changes. We will continue to follow up and report on this matter!"

The Wall Street Journal is a newspaper that focuses on business information. It is one of the newspapers with the largest circulation and the strongest authority in country M. The influence of this news can be seen.

Different from the rigor of the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times is straightforward, making enough gimmicks, and publishing them directly on the website in the form of headlines.

"The richest man in the world is an Oriental!"

Although this news is true, the evidence is obviously insufficient, and it is somewhat suspected of sensationalism!
Some other authoritative newspapers also followed up at the same time, and their reporting styles were nothing more than these two.

Not long after the news was reported, in the morning of Qizhou, Li Weidong's office gathered the company's vice president-level executives and directors of functional departments.

There are also some people who are away from home because of business trips, so they can only participate in the meeting by telephone.

The coffee table in front of Li Weidong no longer had teapots and cups, and replaced it with several hands-free phones.

Li Weidong's office, which was transformed from four south rooms, was no longer empty as usual, and there were more than a dozen people of different identities sitting there.

A few people with higher positions or older qualifications sat on the small sofa in front of Li Weidong's desk, and everyone else sat around the conference table.

Everyone sat upright without saying a word, and the whole office was quiet, except for Li Weidong's occasional drinking water, there was no other sound.

No one in the room spoke, not even an expression on their faces, but that didn't mean they didn't have any thoughts in their hearts.

If you can see the hearts of these people, it will definitely be very exciting. They will witness a historic moment and even participate in it personally.

Li Weidong said calmly: "They are not outsiders, so I won't say polite words. I think everyone has seen this news report!"

Li Weidong raised the printed papers in Yang's hand and continued: "These media are hateful and unprincipled. As long as there is news, they don't verify it, and report it regardless of whether it is true or not!"

No one in the room spoke, just listening to Li Weidong's words, with an expression of common hatred and hatred on his face, of course it must not be the case in his heart.

How could these media verify it? Even if it is verified, can Ruibosi Holdings still admit it?
Besides, the most important thing about news is timeliness. You have to verify it, and others have already reported it. If you are one step behind, then there is no enthusiasm!
Besides, there is not much discrepancy in other people's reports. If there is discrepancy, it can only be that what the media said is less than the truth.

Li Weidong put down a few pages of paper in his hand, and continued: "Of course, this also shows to a certain extent that our work is not in place!"

Zou Yi, who was closer to Li Weidong, blushed slightly, lowered his head slightly and said, "Chairman, I am mainly responsible for this matter!"

"I..." Zou Yi wanted to continue talking, but was interrupted by Li Weidong reaching out his hand.

Zou Yi is the general manager of Mayfly Capital and the deputy general manager of Ruibosi Holdings, and this matter was caused by Mayfly Capital, so she bears the leadership responsibility, there is no doubt about it.

Although she managed the two companies well, Li Weidong also paid enough salary, and if something happened, she had to be in charge, which is nothing to say.

But Li Weidong shook his head and said: "Now is not the time to talk about responsibility, and besides, this matter is not someone's responsibility!"

"If you want to say that I am responsible, I am the general manager of the company. I have the greatest responsibility. I usually neglect the management of the company!"

As soon as Li Weidong said this, the hearts of the people sitting in the room and the people on the other end of the phone were shocked, the boss had something in his words!

The boss said that the management of the company is negligent, so the next step will definitely be strengthened, which means that their days of no control are coming to an end.

This kind of strengthening does not necessarily mean that Li Weidong personally participated in it. In fact, what Li Weidong is doing now is to strengthen the management of the company.

The company reforms, formulates a system, and uses the system to manage the company instead of relying on the personal qualities of certain professional managers. This can also control them to the maximum extent, which is equivalent to protecting them.

Li Weidong said softly: "I asked you to come here early this morning. I just want to hear your good opinions on this matter!"

After Li Weidong finished speaking, he looked at the people next to him, hoping to hear a better way from them, and of course it was just hope.

He also knew that at this point, besides resigning to fate, he would take the initiative to announce his status as the richest man in advance.

This world paper cannot contain the fire. Li Weidong is the sole shareholder of Ruibosi Holdings, and the fact that he is the richest man in the world will be exposed sooner or later.

After waiting for a while, Li Weidong didn't get any answer he wanted, and the whole office was still quiet, and no one spoke.

It seems that everyone knows that it is easier to directly disclose the fact than to clarify a problem that is not true at all.

It is impossible to tell everyone at this time that what these newspapers and media say is wrong, and you have to prove your innocence if you say someone is wrong.

To prove your innocence, you need to announce the real situation of Ruibosi Holdings, which is no different from issuing a communiqué to confirm that these media reports are true.

Li Weidong said: "I know everyone's thoughts. If this is the case, then I will disclose that Ruibosi Holdings is my personal property!"

As soon as Li Weidong's words fell, the office immediately remembered the voices of discussion.

"Chairman, you should have done this long ago!" This is the voice of most people.

"I fully agree with the chairman's approach, let those people see that we Chinese are also qualified to be the richest man in the world!" This is a relatively angry statement.

"Yes, Chairman, you should have stood up a long time ago. We fully agree with your actions!"

The following directors of various departments, general managers of various subsidiaries, and the remote personnel on the phone unanimously agreed with Li Weidong's approach.

Zheng Sijing was on a business trip in the capital to attend an important meeting, but did not make it in time for the meeting, so he could only participate in the discussion by phone.

Although I can't see the expressions on everyone's faces clearly now, I can hear the excitement of these people from their voices, and I can guess their attitudes.

He listened for a long time, although he couldn't see Li Weidong's expression, and couldn't guess what Li Weidong was thinking at this time, but he also knew that it was time for him to express his opinion.

As far as Ruibosi Holdings is concerned, Li Weidong is the general manager, and Zou Yi is the executive deputy general manager in charge of the company's daily operations.

And Zheng Sijing is another deputy general manager of the company, second only to Li Weidong and Zou Yi in terms of power.

Moreover, Jingwei Investment is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ruibosi Holdings. Even if Li Weidong wants to dismantle it, it is still a whole.

Something happened to his brother company Anma Capital, which implicated the parent company Rebos Holdings, so Zou Yi naturally couldn't speak.

At this time, it was suitable for him to speak in terms of emotion and reason, so Zheng Sijing cleared his throat on the phone.

Zheng Sijing said: "Chairman, I completely agree with you. After you announce this information, it will have a great impact on the company's brand. You are the most powerful spokesperson for the company!"

"This is many times better than how much money you spend on advertising, and this effect is not only a certain company, but also has a certain promotion effect on all companies under your name or related!"

"I think some of our companies should reduce their advertising expenses this year and use the saved money to do more meaningful things, such as increasing employee benefits and increasing investment in research and development!"

"I did a rough calculation just now, and the cost of this part is not less than one billion yuan, so I very much agree with the chairman's approach. After all, this is an idea worth one billion yuan!"

Li Weidong knocked on the table and said, "Okay, I'll stop pouring ecstasy soup, where is the one billion? Hurry up and talk about your but!"

There was a burst of good-natured laughter in the office. If the boss could make a joke, it meant that the atmosphere of the meeting was good.

Zheng Sijing also laughed twice on the other end of the phone, knowing that the goal of enlivening the atmosphere had been achieved, and did not continue until everyone's laughter stopped.

"Chairman, I really don't have this, but if I insist, it can only happen to you!"

"It is estimated that everyone can imagine that after you announced this news, reporters from all over the country and even the world must flock to Qizhou!"

"For foreign journalists and media, you can still refuse, but for domestic news media, you can't refuse all of them, right? Some people still have to give face!"

"As well as your family members, I'm afraid they will also be disturbed to a certain extent. You need to prepare in advance for these!"

Li Weidong nodded in agreement, of course Zheng Sijing couldn't see these.

He can find a place to hide, but his family can't all hide with him!
"Thank you!" Li Weidong said softly, this is to thank Zheng Sijing for reminding him, although he can also think of these things, but when others remind him, this kind of affection naturally has to be remembered.

Xu Dehai and Xia Guoqiang also expressed their views, which are similar to Zheng Sijing's. Doing so can improve the company's brand effect. The only disadvantage is that you can't continue to keep a low profile, chairman.

Think about it too, a company run by the richest man in the world is born with an advertising effect, and the public will have a natural sense of trust.

"It seems that everyone's attitude towards this matter is quite consistent, so it is decided like this!" Li Weidong said calmly, as if talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"Mr. Zou!" Li Weidong looked at Zou Yi, and then said, "You and the public relations department, on behalf of Ruibosi Holdings, drafted a statement to express a severe protest against these media's infringing reports!"

Zou Yi and everyone in the office looked a little astonished. This was somewhat inconsistent with the result of the discussion just now. What kind of medicine is sold in Li Weidong's gourd?

Soon everyone understood what Li Weidong meant, which was expressing an attitude.

It is not up to you to make irresponsible remarks about my own affairs. If you want to announce it, I will announce it. If you do not obtain my consent, you will violate my rights.

"Okay, we will negotiate with these media and express our views!" Zou Yi nodded.

She also only dared to use the word negotiation. As for the word severe protest, it is difficult to use it in ordinary events.

An ordinary report, at most, is suspected of headline party, and it did not cause substantial harm, and the protest was meaningless.

Li Weidong nodded and continued: "You draft another statement on the controlling shareholder of Ruibosi, and announce it at the company headquarters Ruibosi Building!"

Li Weidong once bought a [-]-story high-rise building on Hong Kong Island as the headquarters of Ruibosi Holdings.

Most of the companies under Li Weidong's name on Hong Kong Island, including Liu Jinhui's Wing On Accounting Firm, all work in this building.

This building seems to be his private domain, and the announcement about the controlling shareholder of Ruibosi here has a strong symbolic meaning.

"Okay, we will prepare it right away and send it out as soon as possible!" Zou Yi said more simply.

"Don't worry about this beforehand, wait until I hide first!" Li Weidong shook his head and said.

Li Weidong's words made everyone stunned again, but the words used in hiding seemed quite accurate.

After all, Zheng Sijing also said just now that once this matter is announced, it will definitely attract the attention of some departments, especially media such as CCTV Daily.

If the people in charge of these media greet Li Weidong and want to interview him, Li Weidong really has no reason to refuse.

When such a great leader greets you, how can you not give face, how can you disagree?
That being the case, it is better to simply hide, at least in a place where it is not easy to be found or found.

And in addition to himself, his wife and children, his parents and his father-in-law's family must also make complete preparations.

The best way is to arrange for them to travel abroad. After traveling abroad for ten days and a half months, it is estimated that the popularity of this matter will drop.

And his own goal is bigger, the best way is to find a hidden place, retreat for a period of time and then come out.

This is similar to some ancient swordsmen who committed a crime outside, found a deserted mountain and wilderness, and waited for a few years to avoid the limelight before coming out.

Li Weidong doesn't need to look for a place, Hong Kong Island is very suitable. Although this place talks about freedom everywhere, it is also for whom.

That morning, Li Weidong arranged everything properly. His parents and parents-in-law traveled around the world, informed his brothers and sisters, and then quietly went to Hong Kong Island with the children.

Although Ruibosi Holdings is located on Hong Kong Island, the retreat with Li Weidong's family on Hong Kong Island has no slight impact.

When people all over the world know that Li Weidong is the richest man in the world, the first place everyone thinks of is Qizhou in China.

It is estimated that Qizhou has never been so lively. Countless major media reporters stationed in mainland China flooded in, but all of them came to nothing.

Even if some people with rank and status want to contact Li Weidong, they can only get through his work mobile phone, and the private mobile phone shows that it is not in the service area.

At this time, Li Weidong's family was living a leisurely life drifting on the yacht, regardless of the various media reports.
