Chapter 664 No wonder they say you can spend what you earn
"Xiao Ye, judging from the two of you, you didn't expect Grandpa to come to the lighthouse, did you? What's the matter, you don't want to take care of the meal?"

Li Ye was thinking about something in his mind, but Li Zhongfa was in a good mood. After exiting the gate, he started to joke with Li Ye and Wen Leyu with a smile on his face.

Wen Leyu quickly smiled and said, "No, no, it's because we didn't understand it clearly in advance, so you gave us a surprise, Grandpa."

"Hahahaha~"

Li Zhongfa laughed loudly, and then said to Wen Leyu: "After the Spring Festival, Xiaoye's father and I went to Beijing to discuss your marriage with your parents!

As it turned out, your parents just happened to say they wanted to come visit you, so I thought I'd take advantage of that and come over to take a look and broaden my horizons."

"Oh, haha~"

Hearing Li Zhongfa talking about his marriage with Li Ye, Wen Leyu smiled shyly and retreated to Teacher Ke's side, still a little embarrassed.

Li Ye looked behind Li Zhongfa and asked, "Where's my dad? Why can't I see him?"

Li Zhongfa waved his hand and said, "He doesn't have a passport, so of course he can't come. I only got this convenience of going abroad because of you. I went to Southeast Asia and Japan several times as a consultant for the instant noodle factory."

"Grandpa, you are not taking advantage of me. It is my duty to be filial to you."

"Aunt Ke, Uncle Wen, can we find a place to sit first and then do our work?"

Li Ye took Li Zhongfa's luggage with a smile and discussed with Teacher Ke.

Because there were two attendants standing behind Wen Qingsheng, Li Ye guessed that he came to the lighthouse on "official business" and had to say a few polite words.

Wen Qingsheng smiled and nodded, and said to the two people behind him: "Xiao Zhang, you guys go to the designated hotel first, and I will contact you later."

Xiao Zhang agreed with a smile and was about to leave when he was stopped by Li Ye.

Li Ye wrote down a phone number and gave it to Xiao Zhang: "Call this number if there is an emergency."

"Okay okay."

Xiao Zhang quickly agreed, then quickened his pace and walked away with his colleagues.

Those who could follow Wen Qingsheng here must be his confidants. As soon as they heard what their grandfather Li Zhongfa said, they knew that they wanted to discuss family affairs. They didn't ask or listen, and it was better to leave as soon as possible.

Li Ye led Li Zhongfa, Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng out of the airport and walked to the two Bentleys.

One of the two cars is a four-door Bentley Mulsanne, and the other is a new generation two-door Continental that was just launched in 82. It is brand new and very dazzling.

Although Li Zhongfa's expression remained unchanged, he glanced at Teacher Ke, then said with a smile, "Hey, Xiaoye, these two cars are great! Did you borrow them or buy them?"

Li Ye said honestly: "Grandpa, I bought it. Doing business in Dengta is all about appearance."

"It's not just the lighthouse, we also pay attention to appearances over there!"

Li Zhongfa laughed and asked, "This car looks good. It's worth 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, right?"

Li Ye smiled and nodded: "About the same! Two cars cost about 200,000 or 300,000 yuan."

Li Zhongfa walked around the Mulsanne and nodded repeatedly, saying, "The cars in Dengta are really cheap. This car costs 200,000 yuan and looks much better than the Santana."

Li Ye and Wen Leyu both laughed awkwardly and did not respond.

But Fu Yiru stuck out her tongue, and couldn't hold back the smile on her face.

After all, she is young and her ability to manage her facial expressions is not good enough.

Li Zhongfa blinked his eyes, looked at Fu Yiruo and said, "What's wrong, Xiaoruo? Did they set an ambush on me?"

Fu Yiruo quickly smiled and said, "No, no, Grandpa, when Li Ye bought these two cars, he also felt that they were worth it!"

Fu Yiruo's call of "Grandpa" made Li Zhongfa feel mixed emotions.
This is my own granddaughter!

. . . . . . . . .

Li Ye picked up Mr. Ke and his wife and grandfather Li Zhongfa and returned to their new home, which had been renamed LW Manor.

After entering the manor, Li Zhongfa was surprised by the surrounding scenery: "Is this a hotel?"

Li Ye shook his head slowly and said, "This is our home. I just moved here a few days ago." Li Zhongfa nodded repeatedly and said, "Not bad, not bad. How much did it cost to buy this place?"

Li Ye swallowed his saliva and said, "We negotiated the price, it's less than two million US dollars."

"."

Li Zhong was stunned for a moment, and finally asked, "So these two cars are also worth two or three hundred thousand dollars?"

Li Ye nodded slowly, indicating that Grandpa, you are really smart.

"Sigh~"

Li Zhongfa took a breath, then said with a smile: "No wonder Xiaoyu's mother told me that you can spend as much as you earn. It turns out that you spend tens of thousands of dollars, and they are US dollars!"

Fu Yiru, who was driving, smiled secretly, because her mother, Fu Guiru, was also shocked by Li Ye's "pricing in US dollars".

After everyone arrived at the main house of the manor, Fu Yiruo slipped away quietly.

The little girl was very smart. She knew that Li Zhongfa, Teacher Ke, and Wen Qingsheng came together to discuss something with Li Ye.

Wen Leyu blinked at Li Ye, as if asking, "Do I need to step aside?"

Li Ye reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her into the small living room.

To perform crosstalk, you need a supporting actor! Li Ye must have a helper.

However, after entering the small living room, Teacher Ke and others did not get to the point immediately, but instead asked Li Ye and Wen Leyu about their thoughts and insights after coming to the Lighthouse.

After all, they are here for an internship, so they should have their own ideas.

Li Ye said very straightforwardly: "Grandpa, Aunt Ke, Uncle Wen, Wen Leyu and I have been investigating for some time and believe that Dengta's low-end and even high-end industries have begun to irreversibly shift outward.

The only one who can undertake these mid- to high-end industries is our East Asian cultural circle. This is our opportunity, but also our test.”

“The center of the world now is the lighthouse, there is no doubt about that, but the center of the world 30 years from now will definitely be East Asia.”

"."

Li Zhongfa and Wen Qingsheng were both stunned, because Li Ye's conclusion seemed like bragging.

However, Teacher Ke smiled and said to Li Ye: "Every time I chat with you, Xiaoye, I always hear some advanced and unique remarks. Can you explain to me today why it is our East Asian region?"

Li Ye explained: "When I say East Asia, I actually mean the East Asian cultural circle, or the Confucian cultural circle, because there is a saying in our Confucian culture: Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself."

"After thousands of years of penetration, this sentence has been deeply engraved in the hearts of people like us, inspiring us to be like the sky, strive for self-improvement, be resolute and strong, work hard and never stop."

Of course, Li Ye's words were not empty boasting.

The population of East Asia, China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, will bear the production end of a large number of high-tech industries in a few decades.

Although part of the high-tech R&D is still in Europe and the United States, the production end still mainly relies on East Asia.

Because East Asian culture particularly worships "curl"!

Heaven moves with vigor, and a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement, which means you should keep rolling without stopping for a moment!

The production of those high-tech industries relies on the high-end industrial population brought about by East Asia’s involutionary culture!

These people in East Asia have been taught since childhood to "win" and "stand out". This population is fundamentally different from the population of G7 Europe and America.
East Asians pursue collectivism, like to save money, are hardworking, abide by discipline and obey management. They have a lot of cruel advantages.

Compared with the East Asian population, the European and American population values ​​freedom, pursues not working, likes to spend money, is incompatible with discipline, and is difficult to manage.
This kind of population is not naturally suitable for industrialization, right?

Of course, the people in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and South Asia are also capable of enduring hardships, but their education is not up to par, and their culture does not encourage learning or collectivism, which results in them always being a little short in overall quality.

Therefore, Musk’s factories in other countries could not start construction for several years, and TSMC’s relocation of the lighthouse also could not start construction for several years.

But do you think that curly hair is an advantage or a weakness of East Asians?
This is actually a very contradictory question.
