Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 497 Brother Wang is still Brother Wang, but the brother has changed

Hearing Wang Weidong's advice to himself that even if he had money, he didn't need to show off, Lin Yizhong also looked at Wang Weidong who was sitting opposite him.

When he met Wang Weidong, Wang Weidong was already a small boss with more than 20 assets.

In the 80s, Wang Weidong was considered a very rich man.But at that time, Wang Weidong worked with the workers to install radios during the day, and slept in the radio factory at night as a security guard. He was no different from ordinary people in food and clothing.

Now Wang Weidong is already a big boss with billions of assets, but in Lin Yizhong's eyes, nothing changed when he met Wang Weidong in the 80s.

"You are also the boss now, and your feelings should be similar to mine. The bigger the business, the more you feel that you are short of money. There is no need to spend money on meaningless things." Wang Weidong said.

"It can't be said that this is completely meaningless. At least now that I go back to my hometown and look at the [-] Mercedes-Benz car, all the people look at me completely differently from before. In the past two years, every time I Once I went back to celebrate the New Year, the leaders of the county all visited my home to ask about my health, hoping that I could move the factory back and invest in my hometown." Lin Yizhong said.

"Have you agreed?" Wang Weidong asked.

"I didn't agree at the beginning. There are many small factories like mine in Longgang, which can support each other in production. Longgang is very close to Yiwu. Every year, a large number of foreign businessmen go to Yiwu to purchase, and the sales of our factory products also increase. There is no problem, so I don't want to go back and invest." Lin Yizhong replied.

Hearing what Lin Yizhong said, Wang Weidong felt relieved.

But Lin Yizhong went on to say: "In the past few years, my reputation in my hometown has grown. Many people have said that I am a big boss with tens of millions of assets in the south. Therefore, my hometown wants me to go back and invest even more urgently." This year, the leaders of the region made a special trip to Longgang twice to talk to me for a long time. They promised me that as soon as I moved the factory back, they would grant me a piece of land several times larger than the current factory, and the price would increase. It’s easy to negotiate. Now there are a lot of laid-off workers in my hometown, so the salary level is also very low. As long as I give 400 yuan, everyone will rush to do the same job. They also promised me that as long as I can go back, they will give me the best tax benefits. Everything is negotiable!"

Hearing what Lin Yizhong said, Wang Weidong's expression became serious.

"In recent years, there have been many such things. Many people made good promises before investing, but after investing, the conditions promised before cannot be fulfilled at all!" Wang Weidong said.

"It has nothing to do with them! I am different. I have a relative who is now the leader of a department in our hometown!" Lin Yizhong said with some pride.

Wang Weidong has met a lot of great leaders over the years, and this is the result of him deliberately hiding behind the scenes, otherwise he would have met more leaders.

Speaking of big leaders, Ou Xiaoyang and Ou Xiaojun's father is of a high rank, and Song Yu's father is even higher.Now he speaks casually in front of Shi Ke, who was once a vice minister.The level of these people is simply not comparable to that of Lin Yizhong, a relative.

Seeing Lin Yizhong's complacent expression, Wang Weidong sighed in his heart.

This is the deep-rooted traditional concept of the Chinese people, no matter how much money you earn, you will be inferior to officials.

"When I first met you, I only knew that your family was an ordinary farmer with poor conditions. I didn't expect that there was such a relative who was an official in your family. Then why didn't he help you when you were studying?" Wang Weidong asked.

Wang Weidong's words already contained a hint of sarcasm.

Hearing what Wang Weidong said, Lin Yizhong also felt a little annoyed. He was not to Wang Weidong but to his distant relative.

Back then, in order to raise funds for his college education, his parents visited almost all relatives, including this distant relative who was a cadre, but they sent his parents back with a few words.

Now knowing that he has made a fortune, the distant relative who is a cadre took the initiative to establish a good relationship with their family, which made his parents feel very honored, and the past was wiped out.

What Lin Yizhong didn't say was that the reason why his distant relative who was a cadre in his hometown was so enthusiastic about investing in his hometown was mainly because of the new investment policy introduced by his hometown.If anyone can attract investment, the local government will reward 3% of the investment immediately.

In other words, if he invests 100 million, his relative can get a reward of 3 yuan.

After all, Lin Yizhong is a businessman, and the reason why he returned to his hometown to invest was his own interests.

He was very tempted by the many preferential conditions offered in terms of land, labor, taxes and fees.Moreover, returning home to invest and build factories is also a matter of elated return home.

"From what you said, you have made up your mind to go back to your hometown to invest this time," Wang Weidong asked.

Lin Yizhong nodded and said: "The sales of toy products abroad are very good now, I must seize this opportunity! Maybe the assets will double in a few years!"

At this time, Wang Weidong had already guessed the purpose of Lin Yizhong's coming to find him this time, but he still asked: "Since you have already made up your mind, then go back and invest. Why are you looking for me?"

Lin Yizhong looked at Wang Weidong with hopeful eyes and said, "Brother Wang, although the assets of my factory are about [-] million, but the liquidity in my hand is not much. Even if all the factories are transferred together, the money to go back and invest is still not enough. Can you lend me a few million? This money is considered your investment, how about we set up a joint venture factory?"

Hearing what Lin Yizhong said, Wang Weidong shook his head without hesitation and said: "A few million is nothing to me now, but I firmly disapprove of your going back to your hometown to invest and build a factory, so I will never lend you this money .”

Lin Yizhong's eyes dimmed, but he did not give up hope.

He went on to say: "Brother Wang, just help me again! Just 200 million, you can definitely get the money. I can pay you back the principal with interest in a year or two. If you don't believe me, go to Yiwu to inquire about it." Inquire, no one who sells plastic toys for export has lost money.”

Hearing what Lin Yizhong said, Wang Weidong still shook his head without hesitation: "To be honest, I am not optimistic about your investment this time at all. Since the local government supports you so much, you can ask them to help you contact a bank for a loan."

Ten minutes later, Lin Yizhong walked out of the dormitory of the football training base in frustration. This was the first time Wang Weidong rejected his request since he met Wang Weidong.

Although Wang Weidong did not agree to lend money to Lin Yizhong, but it was so late, Wang Weidong still planned to arrange for Lin Yizhong to live in the dormitory tonight.

But Lin Yizhong said that he came with his father this time, and now his father lives in a hotel in Wulin City, so he must go back at night.

Wang Weidong asked the guard to open the iron door again, then walked to the side of the car and said to Lin Yizhong who was sitting inside: "Brother, when I gave you 2 yuan, we both agreed that I would give you 30% of the shares. I don’t want 30% of the shares now, just return the 2 yuan to me. However, I will keep the 2 yuan for you. When you are really in trouble one day, I will give you the 2 yuan. Money for you!"
