The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 567
"Sister Ding, are the salaries of you and those security guards still paid by Ribosi Holdings?" Li Weidong asked curiously.

This is his own nanny, and there are several security guards who are responsible for the security of the villa. The usual task is basically to maintain the normal operation of the villa, and it is enough not to be targeted by some criminals to destroy it.

"Mr. Li, it's not anymore. We signed a contract with Yongli Building Property Management Company a few years ago, and now we receive wages from them!" Sister Ding replied softly.

It turned out that he signed the contract with Ruibosi Holdings, which is almost a contract signed directly with Li Weidong. After all, Li Weidong is the legal representative of Ruibosi Holdings. Later, when the contract expired, there was such a property company to sign the contract for them.

Although Sister Ding didn't know the specific connection between this property company and Ruibosi Holdings, but the content of the job remained the same, and the salary did not decrease, so she didn't think too much about it, and in fact, she had no other choice!

It's just that Ruibosi Holdings suddenly became popular now, which caught her by surprise!
In the past, she only knew that Li Weidong was very rich. After all, if he could afford such a luxurious villa, own a luxury yacht, and get in and out of high-end cars, he must not be short of money.

Those who occasionally come to Li Weidong to report on their work can sometimes be seen in newspapers, and the business cooperation of tens of millions or hundreds of millions is reported along with them.

Thinking about it with fingernails, I know that Li Weidong's identity is unusual, and he must have plenty of money.

It's just that the recent news made Sister Ding feel a little shocked. Ruibosi Holdings not only controls assets of over [-] billion U.S. dollars, but also the company is personally owned by Li Weidong.

She has served the boss for so many years. Since she is the richest man in the world, she is several ranks higher than the rich man next door who also has the same surname Li.

Does this also mean that she is also a top figure in the nanny circle?

Thinking about it, she is quite proud. After all, there are so many nannies, and she is the only one who can be the nannie for the richest man in the world!

"Oh, so, has the salary changed?" Li Weidong asked again.

This should be the property management company directly under Ruibosi Holdings, probably the property company serving Yongli Building.

"No, no, it's the same as before, there is no reduction, and there are red envelopes to get during the New Year and holidays!" Sister Ding said with a smile.

Li Weidong paused for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Have you not raised your salary for so many years?"

In Qizhou, Sister Yan also worked as her nanny for several years. Although the salary is not as high as that in Hong Kong Island, it will increase to varying degrees every year.

The economy is developing, prices are rising, and wages have to rise accordingly. Even if the increase cannot exceed the speed of economic development, it must exceed inflation.

The social economy is developing rapidly, but wages are not rising. Isn't this a hooligan?

Sister Ding knew that she had misunderstood what Li Weidong meant, but seeing Li Weidong's expression, she didn't know how to answer.

Affected by the financial turmoil in Hong Kong Island in recent years, wages in many industries have declined to varying degrees, and some have even exceeded 20%.

Moreover, her salary is already much higher than the median income of Hong Kong Island, and she already belongs to a relatively high-income group on Hong Kong Island.

The most important thing is that Li Weidong's family has not lived in Hong Kong Island for a long time. In the eyes of many people, not being fired is already a high incense, including herself.

Even if she is like most workers in Hong Kong Island, she can accept a drop in income, so why would she have the nerve to ask for a raise!

Seeing that Sister Ding didn't speak, Li Weidong knew that the salary might not have been raised in the past few years, but after a little thought in his heart, he understood what was going on.

He made an empirical mistake, only thinking about the economic development speed and inflation rate of the Mainland, ignoring these data of Hong Kong Island.

In fact, in recent years, the development of Hong Kong Island has not been fast, on the contrary, it has been very slow, especially after the outbreak of the financial crisis, which has had a great impact on this financial city.

According to the data, the economic growth rate of that year was negative, and even erased the high-speed growth of the output value that year.

Judging from the latest data this year, the economic growth rate of Hong Kong Island last year was only a little over [-]%.

This is the charm and destructive power of the free financial market. It can make you rich overnight, and it can also make you poor overnight.

Especially in a city like Hong Kong Island, as long as there is a financial crisis in a mainstream country in the world, even if it is a fluctuation, it will have an impact on its economic growth rate.

Since this is the case, Li Weidong can't insist on raising wages for others, he has to take care of the company's normal management process.

They are not the only ones in the company. If the wages are raised, they must be raised, otherwise they will break the rules and make it difficult for the subordinates to do their jobs.

You can’t say that they have worked hard and made great achievements, right?
"You have worked hard these past few years. If you have any difficulties, just tell them directly, don't be a layman!" Li Weidong said calmly.

But these words sound like thunder in Sister Ding's ears. This is a kind of promise, and getting Li Weidong's promise is much more meaningful than a salary increase.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, Mrs. Li!" Sister Ding thanked her more respectfully and sincerely.

When Li Weidong and his wife went downstairs, the two children were having a great time playing in the living room.

During the time when I came to Hong Kong Island, except for the few days of exploring at sea, I basically stayed in the villa for the rest of the time.

Fortunately, the villa is relatively large, and there is a huge back garden. There are many rare and rare plants in the garden, which is probably comparable to Mr. Zhou's herb garden.

This has become a check-in place for the two children to explore. They can find novel things every day. The two young children are full of interest in this Baicao Garden, which is much richer than their life in Qizhou.

There is also a huge open-air swimming pool in the yard, which is also a playground for them to play games.

This swimming pool was built when Li Rui was born. Not long after it was built, the family moved out of Hong Kong Island.

Later, those who came to Hong Kong Island lived for less days, and basically did not make use of it, but there are special people to maintain it regularly, and the maintenance is not bad.

Now it finally comes in handy. The two children can play freely in it at noon when the weather is relatively hot.

In short, as long as you come here, you don't need to go to school or do homework, it is heaven.

Seeing the two children fighting in the living room, he was very energetic, but Li Weidong felt that he still owed the two children.

Although they can enjoy a rich material life, they are also doomed to not have many friends of the same age, so they lose the fun with their peers.

Even if there are children of the same age, as Li Weidong, these two children will definitely receive different treatment in school.

Their children go to government kindergartens and government primary schools, and you can tell the difference by hearing the name of the school.

The education the children here have received since they were young is different from ordinary children, they are too mature and sophisticated!

"Hurry up and eat!" Liu Jinhui said as she saw the two children making such a fuss, walking down the stairs.

"I've finished washing a long time ago, and I'm waiting for you to serve dinner!" Li Rui ran to meet Liu Jinhui, took her hand, and said with a smile.

It is said that the second child in the family is the most observant and the most able to come to things. This phenomenon is vividly manifested in their family.

Generally speaking, Li Qian is more introverted and more reserved. He doesn't talk much, but he has something in his heart.

This kind of inner show may also be aimed at others, or at parents. When they were together with Shen Yueying, the two of them seemed to have endless conversations.

He would tell his grandma about everything, which made Shen Yueying very proud, and his grandson didn't look in vain!

Compared to Li Qian's subtlety, Li Rui's personality is more lively and cheerful, with a very sweet mouth.

Even if Liu Jinhui criticizes her, she can quickly find out where to start and make her parents happy.

Several people gathered around the table to eat lunch, and the two children chattered about what they had seen and heard in Baicao Garden and some adventure experiences.

What made them both happy was that a bird's nest was found on a tree outside the backyard wall today, but it hadn't hatched yet.

Even so, it was enough to comfort Li Rui's regret of not being able to bring the pair of turtledoves at home.

Small animals can fly or go through customs, but these things must have quarantine certificates. Li Weidong came in a hurry, so he didn't care about these.

And they didn't plan to leave for too long this time, so they naturally left the two turtledoves at home and entrusted others to take care of them.

"Be careful, don't run around, be careful of snakes!" Liu Jinhui reminded.

"It's okay, Ding Yuan and the others have already seen it. Even if there were snakes, they would have been scared away by these two children!" Li Weidong said with a wave of his hand.

"You said it lightly. There are a lot of poisonous snakes here. There was a report yesterday that someone was bitten by a poisonous snake while running up the mountain. Fortunately, the treatment was timely!"

"Then you really have to pay attention, let Lao Ding go buy some realgar, sprinkle it in the grass, and make sure everyone will show their original shape!"

"You've watched too many TV dramas. The White Snake showed her original shape not because of realgar, but because she drank too much!" Liu Jinhui said contemptuously.

"Wine is even better. There is plenty of wine at home, red, yellow, white, and green!" Li Weidong said indifferently.

He really got the knowledge that snakes are afraid of realgar wine from TV dramas, and Li Wei believes that most people learned it from it.

"Not to mention, it seems that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, so I really need to buy some realgar wine. After drinking realgar wine, the illness will go away!"

"I don't dare to drink it. I don't know if the disease will go away. If you drink a few more bowls, you will definitely go away. It's arsenic!" Liu Jinhui continued to correct this knowledge point.

The main component of realgar is arsenic sulfide, and arsenic is the main component of arsenic, and realgar is almost equal to arsenic.

"You're good at chemistry, aren't you? You're showing off!" Li Weidong countered.

"This is the importance of knowledge. Children play at home every day, what can they learn!"

It is estimated that Li Qian and Li Rui never dreamed that they would lie down with guns in this place, and they quickly lowered their heads to eat, and they must not burn themselves.

After eating, there is no need to urge them to go directly to the bed to prepare for a nap. These are usually forced to do.

After eating, Li Weidong felt that it was still necessary to arrange for Ding Yuan to check the backyard, so that there were really poisonous snakes and venoms that could hurt the children.

It's not even good to be frightened.

Li Weidong came to the place where Ding Yuan and the others were on duty, and several people were chatting.

Several people saw Li Weidong coming, and quickly stood up to say hello to Li Weidong.

Li Weidong walked into the room, Ding Yuan moved a chair over and asked Li Weidong to sit down.

"What are you talking about, in full swing?"

"Nonsense, I just saw a news in the newspaper that someone from your hometown has sued Telecom. They paid 1000 yuan for the installation, and now they charge 12 yuan for the maintenance fee of out-of-boundary lines every month. I felt that the charge was unreasonable, so I sued the county's telecommunications management department!"

"How did you sue, did you go to court?" Li Weidong was a little curious.

"How can I go to the court, to the provincial telecommunications management department!" Ding Yuan said with a smile.

"Isn't this nonsense, they belong to the same family, and you can sue them, what's the face of them!"

"That's the reason, now I've replied, the fee is reasonable!" Ding Yuan said helplessly, spreading his hands.

Li Weidong nodded. The result is not difficult to guess. Let alone a group of powerless rural people, even the elites in today's society can only accept their fate.

Some time ago, there was a similar incident, which was heated up on the Internet and in major media.

More than 100 professors from Zhejiang University jointly complained to the telecommunications management department, asking them to explain the phenomenon of billing for short-term calls.

Judging from their call records, many calls are only a few seconds long, and this call time may also be the ringing time of an unanswered call.

This kind of charging behavior is obviously unreasonable, even if you think about it with your fingernails, you can know the tricks in it.

More than 100 professors from Zhejiang University jointly complained. The professors are definitely the elite class of society, and their influence can be seen.

So this matter quickly got everyone's attention, but the final test results made people drop their glasses!

Everything works fine!

Now, the telecommunications department has become the wronged party, and even pretended to be good-looking when they got a bargain. Since they announced in a high-profile manner: Even if there is one ten-thousandth of their problems, they will not avoid it, and they must have the courage to face the problem directly!
This high-profile statement was quickly "recognized" by some media, and even sang praises.

This matter will be over.

However, a very good Internet celebrity principal in later generations mentioned this matter many times and publicized it as a feat of opposing injustice in his life.

In this matter, Li Weidong can only express his admiration for the professor's courage, he did not have the courage to participate.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot go on forever. Now that China Mobile has been established, the future China Railcom is also being established.

These two companies are definitely shit sticks. Not only did they drastically reduce the production cost of the phone until it was zero, they even waived the monthly rent in the end!

Later, the most unreasonable call duration of 3 minutes was completely changed to 1 minute.

Of course, these are all things to say later. If this situation wants to change now, it is estimated that there is still a long way to go. If you want to take out the money in your pocket, this difficulty is not ordinary.

Besides, fundamentally speaking, this is a matter of self-supervision, if there is no problem, there will be ghosts!
Otherwise, where does the tens of billions of profits a year come from? Li Weidong wants to participate, but they don't give him a license, so he can only be envious!
