The Age of Rebirth

Li Weidong saw Fu Xiaomin's freshness, gave him a thumbs up, and praised with a smile: "Bold and refreshing, it's refreshing to drink like this!"

"I'm sorry, I'm a little excited, I'm making a fool of yourself!" Maybe he drank too quickly, or maybe he was really embarrassed, but Fu Xiaomin's face was a little reddish, and it looked even more charming under the flickering lights.

Seeing Fu Xiaomin's appearance, Zhang Chaoyang was a little distracted. If Fu Xiaomin hadn't coughed lightly, he didn't know when he would be able to recover!

Hearing Fu Xiaomin's reminder, Zhang Chaoyang quickly raised his wine glass and said to Li Weidong, "Chairman, I respect you!"

Li Weidong touched Zhang Chaoyang with a smile, took a sip of his wine, glanced at Fu Xiaomin, started to gossip, and asked Zhang Chaoyang in a low voice: "Looking at the movement of your red luan, is something good going to happen?"

Although Li Weidong spoke in a low voice, Zhang Chaoyang was sure that Fu Xiaomin, who was one step away, would be able to hear her. It is estimated that Li Weidong had no intention of hiding her at all, otherwise he would not have asked such a question.

However, Zhang Chaoyang still glanced at Fu Xiaomin with a guilty conscience, and quickly said in a low voice with a little helplessness: "There is nothing, there is still a long way to go!"

After all, Li Weidong is someone who has experienced it. Although practice makes perfect for this kind of thing, and he is well-informed, he can also tell from his expression that although there is a problem, there must be progress.

"Then fight for it quickly, I'm optimistic about you!" Li Weidong patted him on the shoulder and said.

"You're in your thirties, so what's the point of embarrassment? Men need to be thicker-skinned. Your excellent genes must be passed on. With all your money, you must have a son to take your place!"

"The reason why people are good is not how hard they work, but what God gives them, so good people should give back to society, such as building a house and having a son!"

Li Weidong patted Zhang Chaoyang's shoulder earnestly and said: "Human reproduction is a major event, and everyone needs to work together. Everyone has a responsibility, and you have a great responsibility!"

In his previous life, Zhang Chaoyang, as the commercial idol of people of his time, was definitely a man standing on the cusp of the storm. Li Weidong naturally admired him, and he had heard about his past.

This was the time when Zhang Chaoyang was at his craziest. He was doing nothing but dancing or going to entertainment clubs. Those who called him to accompany him to sing and dance were either college students nearby or future business bosses.

Later, it was all kinds of depression, worshiping the Buddha, cultivating the mind, and all kinds of weird things happened, which even delayed the development of Sohu. .

Perhaps because of Li Weidong's existence in this life, the structure of the domestic Internet has been changed, and he has not been as inflated as he was in his previous life, and he has been relatively low-key.

Although occasionally there will be some high-profile things, but they are all due to their flamboyant personality, and they are not too out of the ordinary.

And Li Weidong attributed all these to being young and immature!

Although not all men will mature quickly after getting married and having children, and begin to take on the responsibilities of husbands and fathers, but this is a universal rule.

...

Moreover, these two people have the same talent and appearance, the same business leaders, and they are an absolute combination of top and bottom.

If it is true that he has never been married, as he did in his previous life, and it is incompatible with the traditional Chinese universal morality of self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and peace of the world, Li Weidong is not at ease.

Maybe he will intervene in the company's affairs at the right time, and even choose a suitable professional manager.

Li Weidong continued to clink glasses with other people, and chatted for a while when he was happy. Although Li Weidong was the focus of course, it was impossible for him to communicate with everyone at the same time.

Moreover, the pre-dinner reception is also part of the wine bureau, and mutual communication is fundamental. If you only listen to Li Weidong alone, then it is better to hold a meeting and let Li Weidong give a speech.

However, although everyone communicated in a low voice, they also kept an eye on Li Weidong's direction. Some people who had not communicated with Li Weidong, so as to move closer to that direction, and those who had clinked glasses and drank wine were not good to appear in front of the chairman all the time.

Everyone saw the exchange between Li Weidong and Zhang Chaoyang just now. They patted their shoulders and pulled their arms, and they almost hooked their shoulders to their backs. It was hard not to attract attention.

These intimate actions made the surrounding people envious, and they probably took it for granted that this was the big boss' recognition and importance to Zhang Chaoyang.

As soon as Li Weidong left, Zhang Chaoyang was surrounded by a few acquaintances. Although he didn't directly ask the boss what he said to him, the meaning behind the words was obvious.

Mr. Zhang is not a rookie in the workplace, and the ready-made tiger skin must not be easily let go. Naturally, the content of the conversation cannot be leaked, especially in front of several competitors.

And this matter is a bit difficult to say, he can't tell everyone that the boss is concerned about the important issue of human reproduction, and criticize him for not fulfilling this important responsibility, right?
It is estimated that this will be a lot of fun, and it will definitely become a big burden for their Internet industry!

Several people couldn't come up with any useful words from him, so they had no choice but to say something, and left after having time to play together, drink tea and other polite words.

After a few people dispersed, Fu Xiaomin came over with a new glass of red wine, and stood casually in front of Zhang Chaoyang, and there was a sense of excitement.

"Touch one, did you do it?" Mr. Zhang raised his glass and touched it lightly, then said with a smile.

"Laugh at me!" Fu Xiaomin also said with a smile, she really drank that cup just now, so she really did it.

"Absolutely not. In fact, I think that's how you should drink red wine!" Mr. Zhang seemed to want to prove himself that he really didn't laugh at her, and drank the new glass of wine that he had just replaced in one gulp!
Zhang Chaoyang swallowed the wine in his mouth and said: "Look, it's so fun, this is what makes me happy, drink to my heart's content, drinking is for happiness!"

"Actually, when I was studying abroad, I used to work part-time in a bar. When the sommeliers were tasting, they took a small sip and then took a big sip to feel the whole thing."

"Drinking in small sips not only lacks the taste, but also fails to fill the entire mouth. The overall feeling of the wine in the mouth that cannot be tasted is at least incomplete."

"Actually, many winemakers have tried their best to make the wine soft and easy to drink, just to make the drinker very happy when they swallow it. Cheers, why not?"

...

"Really!" Holding the wine glass, Fu Xiaomin touched the empty wine glass in Zhang Chaoyang's hand, raised her neck, drank it all in one gulp, and asked, "That's all?"

With a smile on Zhang Chaoyang's face, he said happily: "Where you are happy, drink to your heart's content, that's all!"

The empty cups of the two touched again at the same time, and they laughed even more happily, as if everything had been said without saying anything.

Li Weidong walked around the field, trying to be as comprehensive as possible, and only finished the welcome ceremony after he felt that they had almost clinked glasses.

At this time, it was the originally agreed time for the dinner. Li Weidong was a punctual person, even if all the people who wanted to have a banquet came, they had to wait until the time was up before they could start.

The sound of the entire leisure area suddenly quieted down in an instant. This kind of quietness did not seem to require a pre-rehearsal, and it was the consensus of all the people present.

It is said that this is a sociological psychological effect. Someone who does not speak will infect everyone to be quiet, and this silent person is the focus, such as Li Weidong at this time.

Li Weidong still had the wine glass in his hand, and after touching different wine glasses dozens of times, the wine in the glass didn't seem to decrease too much.

The scene quieted down, everyone walked slowly, stood around Li Weidong, and then fixed their eyes on Li Weidong, waiting for Li Weidong's next speech.

Holding a wine glass, Li Weidong said with a smile on his face: "Everyone, good evening, I thought we would have a light meal together tonight, drink and catch up, talk about the past, have fun, and relax!"

Some people's eyes began to flash with excitement. Li Weidong's words about his own people made them feel that they had found an organization and a big tree where they could enjoy the shade.

"But just now, I saw that some people seemed to be full of worries, at least with hesitation in their smiles. I don't think you are short of money, so it must not be a problem of money!"

"Since it's not about money, there are probably ninety-nine percent less troubles in this world. I wonder if it's because the body affects the relationship between husband and wife in middle age!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing, even the young ones present were in their 30s, so this kind of joke was naturally understood!

"Laws of nature, definitely can't be solved with money. I can't hide the matter, so I took the liberty to inquire about it, only to find out that despite some people's age, their performance in this aspect is not bad. It is said that my wife is very satisfied!"

"I also thought, since this is not the reason, it must be a matter of money. The money is still too little, not enough to make you feel at ease!"

"Everyone is a businessman. What we do every day is noble things like making money. It's easy to understand why we are troubled by this!"

Everyone laughed again. Although the issue of class was not mentioned at this time, and some people were allowed to get rich first, everyone still could only secretly enjoy this kind of thing!
And since ancient times, there has been a saying of making a fortune in silence and shooting the top bird with a gun. Things to make money can be done but not talked about.

But now it seems that we have really come to an era where we can do and talk about it. Even being a hermit hero modestly is too Chinese and too reserved, and there is no way to comfort the likes of Fan Li and Shen Wansan.

...

"There's no shame in making money, and it's even less shameful to make money based on ability. It's shameful to have no money. As long as you can put it in your pocket reasonably and legally, and let others not find fault, that's skill!"

Li Weidong continued with a smile and said: "So I thought, some people probably have doubts about their ability to make money, or have become confused!"

"If this is the case, there is no need to worry about it. Shakespeare has a famous line, we are destined to encounter such an era!"

"When our generation encounters such an era, we should really thank our ancestors TOEFL. I have read everyone's information. Although some people have extraordinary resumes, even if you are a high-achieving student in Qingbei, or a sea turtle who returned from studying abroad, compared to those People with profound backgrounds, complicated connections, and obscure relationships can only be regarded as ordinary people!"

Li Weidong seems to consciously avoid dealing with people with complicated backgrounds, and generally avoids certain people when investing, so as to stay away from right and wrong.

In the domestic Internet industry, these companies are not the only ones, and there are even many companies that were established earlier, have better prospects, and have more investment value.

But when he saw the names of shareholders behind these companies that made him seem familiar, but his scalp tingled, Li Weidong could only stay away from them.

Even if others came to the door on their own initiative, Li Weidong would only send him away politely without offending him.

For this kind of people, Li Weidong has always had a standard, you can have personal friendship, you can eat, drink, and take a sauna, but you just can’t have business contacts, money transactions, otherwise the yellow mud will fall into the crotch, and it will be unclear when the time comes up.

Fortunately, in the past, Li Weidong used his identity as a Hong Kong businessman, and even got a chance to form a good relationship with the leaders above, and he didn't encounter too embarrassing things.

Now that he is famous, others know what Li Weidong is like, so no one will provoke him anymore.

Anyway, those who want to do business with them line up, and Li Weidong is not bad. Besides, Li Weidong has a great reputation and a lot of movement, and sometimes it is not suitable for their business.

Li Weidong is cautious when dealing with people with such complicated relationships, and he will not use those people as subordinates. Therefore, although not all of his subordinates are mud-legged, there are none of the more senior children.

Li Weidong continued: "But we are fortunate to have encountered this great era, caught up with the great changes in history, and encountered an opportunity that has not solidified the wealth class!"

"And you have already entered this door, and your future is bright. You don't need to worry about whether the general situation will change or whether the policy will be adjusted. If it changes, it will only get better!"

Now these "common people" can only pursue material wealth. As for higher-level pursuits, they have basically been locked up. Without the accumulation of several generations, relying on individual efforts, the achievements are ultimately limited.

"As for the various problems you encounter, they are just the scenery on the way, which can be admired or even sad, but they should not be your fetters!"

"Internet cold winter, egalitarian hog-killing theory, accession to the WTO, real estate, the second-board securities market, and other things that have been discussed are all vain in the long run!"

"I can tell you responsibly that these things will pass, and the Internet winter will go away, and this industry will even give birth to a series of vigorous industries. Now it is an opportunity to absorb and accumulate strength!"

"The current Internet is a seedling that has just broken the ground. This is just the first wind and rain he has experienced. It blows up and down, and even a few leaves will fall off, but it doesn't matter!"

"I see that there seem to be quite a few people in the Internet industry present. I suggest that you don't stop because of the wind and rain during this pioneering period of the Internet. At this time, every step you step down may step on a gold mine!"

"Don't let this era live up to it. It is our responsibility to meet it. We must find a way to make this tree grow a few more leaves!"

"Don't worry about not having enough money, as long as your idea is good, the money bag standing next to you will be very generous!" Li Weidong said with a smile, pointing to the heads of several venture capital companies.
