The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 649 Final Chapter - Retirement

If you don't consider Forbes's nonsense, Li Weidong's family is still very happy to play on Hong Kong Island.

Especially when the children are playing, they enjoy playing so much that they don't feel tired at all. They wake up early every morning and have to play outside all day before they come back.

He also has a special interest in going out to sea on a yacht. It seems to be every boy's dream to face the wind and waves on the endless sea.

Li Weidong looked at the children standing on the splint on the bow, with their hands open and laughing in the wind, and there was a trace of youth in his heart.

Standing beside Li Weidong, Liu Jinhui also looked at these children with a satisfied smile on her face.

Then she looked at Li Weidong who was standing next to her, her eyes were full of tenderness, she married Li Weidong in a daze, and it has been many years since she married Li Weidong.

But up to now, Liu Jinhui dare not say that she has seen through Li Weidong, sometimes she is silly and cute, and sometimes she is very profound, as if there are countless secrets hidden in her heart.

Although Liu Jinhui didn't understand Li Weidong's heart, but after getting along for so many years, she was sure of one thing, that Li Weidong was impeccable towards this family and her.

Is there anything to be dissatisfied with?

"Is there a flower on my face?" Li Weidong asked curiously.

"There are waves!"

"No wonder, people say that what you think in your heart is what you see in this world. It seems that you have waves in your heart!" Li Weidong deliberately emphasized his tone on the waves.

"How old are you, can you be a little decent?" Liu Jinhui said with a disgusting gesture.

"What you said is wrong. What did I say, why didn't you do it right?" Li Weidong quibbled.

"I'm too lazy to tell you!" Liu Jinhui said helplessly, maybe this is Li Weidong's unique function, he can always mislead things intentionally or unintentionally.

"The announcement released by Forbes yesterday has something to do with you?" Liu Jinhui asked after a pause.

"What announcement?" Li Weidong was a little curious. He only knew that Forbes magazine issued a statement, but didn't it happen a few days ago? Why was there something else yesterday?

"There was supposed to be a special edition at the beginning of the month to release the World Rich List, but now it will be postponed to the middle of the month!" Liu Jinhui looked at Li Weidong and said.

Li Weidong was at a loss, he really didn't know about this matter, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

As for whether it has something to do with him, it is even more unknown, and their special issue, unlike the regular issue, does not have a fixed date, and it is normal to postpone it.

However, there is a high probability that it has something to do with Li Weidong. If the original journal has been printed or typeset, then there must be an impact.

"I don't know!" Li Weidong shook his head and said again: "This is a special issue, what impact will it have if it is postponed or not!"

"I read the comments on the Internet this morning, and some people said that they offended someone they shouldn't offend, so they postponed it!" Liu Jinhuiming said.

"How can you think of me like this, am I so stingy, you let me down so much?" Li Weidong quibbled.

Liu Jinhui knew from Li Weidong's appearance that this incident probably had something to do with him. This style of speaking was too much like an unreasonable three-pointer.

Besides, whether Li Weidong is stingy or not depends on something. Sometimes Li Weidong is indeed stingy.

Forbes was only postponed, not not released. A week after Li Weidong returned to Qizhou, Forbes magazine was still released globally.

There are several lists released by Forbes this time, and the list of China's richest people is deliberately listed separately, which seems to indicate that China has become an important part of the rich list.

And this time is also different from last year. Last year's China Rich List was compiled by a young man named Hurun, just borrowing the name of Forbes.

According to their introduction, this time, Forbes personally sent a team to conduct a half-year investigation and conduct data analysis and comparison to obtain the results.

Its authority is much better than last year's. After all, judging from the current situation, last year's ranking in China is simply a joke. If they continue to cooperate with Yeluzi's Hurun, it will simply smash their brand.

Li Weidong has undoubtedly become the richest man in the world. Of course, even without these surveys, it seems that this result will not be affected.

Only relying on the stocks of various listed companies held by Ruibosi Holdings and its subsidiaries, this highly publicized information has established Li Weidong's status as the richest man.

In addition, Forbes seemed to feel Li Weidong's hostility towards them. In Li Weidong's introduction, he was full of unsparing words of praise.

It's just that Li Weidong simply laughed it off when he saw these things, they were meaningless to him, and he hoped that his name would never appear on this kind of list.

It's just that his wish is doomed to disappointment. For a period of time to come, his name will always be listed first, and the three words Li Weidong are so dazzling.

It's just that after many years, Li Weidong's name suddenly disappeared from this rich list.

There are rumors that Forbes magazine was acquired by a company controlled by Li Weidong, and as the big boss, Li Weidong is unwilling to list his name again.

There are also rumors that Forbes magazine believes that in Li Weidong's lifetime, no one can surpass his wealth, and it is meaningless to rank him on this list and list his wealth.

And it will only embarrass the top few rich people, because the combined wealth of several of them is not as much as Li Weidong's.

Under the joint pressure of most of the top rich people including Li Weidong, Forbes magazine had to compromise and hide Li Weidong's name.

It's just that there is always an empty column at the top of the rich list, and the ranking starts from No.2 every year. Of course, these are things for later.

One year after Li Weidong topped the rich list, his villa complex in Nanshan was finally built and decorated, and his family moved from the downtown area to the suburbs.

And his original office in the courtyard has also been moved to the villa, which has widened the distance from the company in space, and seems to be delegating power to a certain extent.

And shortly after the move, an internal encrypted email was sent from Li Weidong's office through the company's independent intranet to the company's vice president and executives above the president of the subsidiary.

No one knows the specific content of this email except the person concerned. Even if some executives later resigned or retired from the company due to various reasons, they kept silent about the content of the email, as if it had never happened.

In fact, the email was automatically deleted from the intranet after the executives read it, and there was no trace of the email even in the company's server.

So much so that no one knew the specific content of the letter after a long time, but this letter allowed many subsidiaries to adjust the company's development strategy in a short period of time.

Some people speculate that this is Li Weidong revealing his advanced strategic vision to the company's executives, pointing out the way forward for each company.

It was later proved that the strategic directions formulated by these companies have indeed grasped the pulse of the times, and they are basically the vanguards of their industries and the leaders of industry development.

At the same time, this email is also regarded as one of the signs within the company that Li Weidong no longer interferes with the company's specific affairs.

Not long after this incident, the management of Xinsheng Holdings Co., Ltd. underwent a huge change.

The number of board members has more than tripled, from the original four to 13, and these newly added directors include veterans of the company, and some are senior presidents from multinational companies.

The composition of the board of directors is so complex, and the outlook on life and values ​​are very different, and it is doomed to not be peaceful.

Corresponding members of the board of supervisors have also doubled. Although the members of the board of supervisors are relatively low-key, they are playing an increasingly important regulatory role, forming a strong supervision of the company.

And these seemed to be done intentionally by Li Weidong. After that, although Li Weidong still served as the chairman of the company, it was obvious that he began to live in seclusion and showed up less and less frequently.

Except for the company's regular meeting once a month, Li Weidong is rarely seen.

There are fewer and fewer company executives coming to report on their work, but Li Weidong is more enthusiastic about the old subordinates and old friends who come to reminisce about the old days.

During this period, whether it was Li Weidong's deliberate indulgence or the conflict of interests of the company's executives, there were many power struggles, and many personnel adjustments were made later.

However, the number of people on the company's board of directors has not changed. Whenever someone quits, a more suitable person will be on top.

Fortunately, under Li Weidong's deliberate control, these struggles have been going on inside the head office. The executives of each subsidiary will not participate in it, and they are immersed in the company's development strategy. They also know that everything else is fake. Only when the company develops can it get benefits.

After a period of running-in, the company's management finally reached a balance of power and learned to balance and compromise. Stability became the mainstream, and Li Weidong became more relaxed.

Two years later, with the stability of the company's personnel, the company's development has also moved forward steadily, maintaining a high growth rate every year, and all businesses are carried out in an orderly manner.

At this time, Li Weidong seldom participated in the company's regular meetings. He only participated in the board meeting held once a quarter, or sent congratulatory letters to all employees of the company during festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival, which became more of a spiritual symbol of the company.

Li Weidong's high-profile appearance again was at the opening ceremony of the company's headquarters building.

After more than six years of construction, Xinsheng Building was finally completed and put into use, which is a very important event for Xinsheng Holdings.

The ceremony that day was very grand. Not only were there many levels of leaders participating, but according to the statistics of the good people, there were as many as a thousand celebrities and rich people who participated in this ceremony, and as many as a hundred of them were listed on the world's richest list. Their combined assets can rank among the top ten in terms of output value of all countries in the world.

At the opening ceremony of Xinsheng Building, Li Weidong delivered a passionate speech. This is the first time that Li Weidong has spoken in public in recent years.

The participants listened carefully and wanted to find some useful language from Li Weidong's words, and the media directly broadcast the text live on the Internet.

On the second day after the ceremony, the chairman and president of the subsidiary who came to attend the ceremony gathered in the huge auditorium of Xinsheng Building and held a major meeting.

At this meeting, Li Weidong first reviewed the history of more than ten years from the early days of entrepreneurship to today, and talked about Song Guofeng who first cooperated with him.

The first extra money of 100 yuan earned from Song Guofeng, the two went to Hailan Pao to sell clothes and canned food together, and they were shot at themselves. At that time, they thought they were going to die, but finally they survived. I want to thank Mantian God and Buddha.

Everyone in the audience laughed kindly after hearing this, and Song Guofeng, who laughed the happiest, smiled with tears in his eyes.

Speaking of which, sixteen or seventeen years have passed, but Song Guofeng never thought that the meeting at that time would change his life.

Then Li Weidong mentioned Chen Gu's brothers who were still little ruffians at the time.

Everyone at the meeting laughed again. Today's real estate tycoon, foreign trade king, household overlord, and catering king, after packaging, have already become inspirational models of hard work and hard work to change their destiny. I didn't expect such a history.

Even their little brother has become a giant in the industry, making people envious and jealous, and at the same time admiring Li Weidong's ability to turn decay into magic.

Li Weidong talked about how he resigned from the machinery factory, led a group of brothers to start a business, and talked about how to sell the machine tool equipment recovered from Soviet Russia as waste as second-hand equipment.

It talked about how to fool Zheng Sijing and Zou Yi, who are now the company's directors and executives, talked about how to cut leeks in foreign stock markets, and talked about how to invest in the United States.

Speaking of, how his assets accumulated step by step, to the present level.

Finally, I would like to sincerely thank my friends who have always followed him along the way and their contributions to this society.

After all, no matter how forward-looking Li Weidong is, many things still need to be done by someone.

And the companies founded by these small partners with the support of Li Weidong are of various types and cover almost all industries.

The development of these companies seems to have also driven the development of the entire domestic industry, and even the innovation and use of some fields are getting closer and closer to the international leading level.

Li Weidong has reason to believe that as long as there are no major changes, it will only be a matter of time before he reaches the world's leading level.

And this is what Li Weidong is most proud of. Facts have proved that his existence still has some effect. At least under his leadership, many unnecessary twists and turns have been overcome.

At the end of the meeting, Li Weidong said that the company has experienced exploration and stress tests in recent years, and has gradually grown into a modern international company.

The company's organizational structure has been improved, the management system has basically formed, the supervision system has been established, and most of the company's employees agree with the corporate culture and values.

So Li Weidong finally announced that he would stop serving as the chairman of the company on his 40th birthday a few days later and start his retirement life.

This announcement did not seem to surprise the people present too much. After all, in the past few years, Li Weidong has actually stopped asking about the company's specific affairs.

It's just that everyone present at the meeting still couldn't accept Li Weidong's resignation as the chairman of the company, as if they had lost their spiritual support and reliance all of a sudden.

Finally, under the joint request of all executives, Li Weidong still served as the chairman of the company's board of directors, and the board of directors will also implement the rotating chairman system.

Then a helicopter took off from the roof of Xinsheng Building and flew towards the villa in the southern mountain area.

After several years of transformation, the villas there have been integrated with the surrounding mountains, achieving a harmonious coexistence between man and nature, just like a landscape painting of a paradise!
