The God of Wealth starts with doing whatever you want

Neither Zhong nor his son are technically skilled personnel.

Therefore, they were not at all surprised by solid-state batteries.

On the contrary, they were somewhat surprised by Xu Yun's sudden partnership with Lin Zhengyu in business.

Because neither the father nor the son understood Xu Yun's actions.

You already have such a close relationship with the Zhong family, why would you still want to curry favor with the Lin family?
According to Zhong Yanyan, once this solid-state battery comes out, it's a business where you can make money without lifting a finger.

Such a good thing, and you're giving it to the Lin family instead of letting us use it?

Zhong Shouguo snorted coldly: "This kid really knows how to think of good things, trying to please both sides."

"Dad, please don't be so subjective."

Zhong Yanyan didn't expect that revealing this matter would not only fail to earn Xu Yun points, but would also have a negative effect.

"This isn't about doing business with anyone; it's about Xu Yun having his own research lab, conducting scientific research, and achieving some results."

Zhong Yanyan said, "Isn't this a contribution to the country?"

"If he really wants to contribute to the country, he should have the ability to get his research institutions to develop chip technology so that we won't be held back by others."

The areas under Zhong Shouguo's jurisdiction are all high-tech industries, particularly the electronics industry.

In particular, Huawei's headquarters are located there.

As a pillar enterprise in his area, the other party is undoubtedly a major taxpayer.

However, in the past two years, the other party has been hampered by its chip technology, which has caused them a lot of headaches.

Although the country has provided strong support and they have invested heavily in research and development, there is still a gap.

The manufacturing process is 2-3 generations behind.

For example, in logic chip manufacturing processes, the international standard is 3nm mass production, while we are at 14nm mass production, a gap of 5-7 years.

Storage chips and advanced packaging will take approximately 1-3 years.

Furthermore, EDA tools have also been around for about 8-10 years.

Let's not even talk about lithography machines; they'll be around for more than 10 years.

Although we are making great efforts to catch up, whether we admit it or not, there is a real gap.

Therefore, Zhong Shouguo was simply speaking out of anger as a father, deliberately trying to upset his daughter.

If Xu Yun can really develop this thing and reach, or even surpass, international manufacturing technology...

I'd be willing to marry my daughter to him, or even my son.

"Forget it, I'm not going to talk to you about this. You're just being prejudiced."

Zhong Yanyan said, "In your eyes, a good son-in-law is one who has a good family background, a respectable government job, and preferably someone at your level, right?"
Everyone else is beneath your notice, especially businessmen!

"You're wrong. It's not that I look down on businessmen, it's that I look down on businessmen who are solely driven by profit and completely disregard the interests of the nation and its people when they do things."

Zhong Shouguo said in a deep voice: "If he is like Huawei, or those scientific research companies, an entrepreneur who strives for the rise of the nation, I will admire and respect him from the bottom of my heart."

"I have to disagree with you on that point."

Mr. Zhong suddenly became serious and said, "You have no right to speak if you haven't investigated."

Do you really think I'm old and blind, that I'd watch my granddaughter go off with just any man?
Xu Yun's actions demonstrate that he is a qualified and responsible entrepreneur.

He disregarded personal gain and personally funded the construction of unfinished buildings and the redevelopment of old urban areas, ensuring that people were no longer homeless.

This solved a major problem for the Jiangcheng government.

After that, he even used his own money to establish a charity and quietly helped others all over the country.

You've probably heard about what happened to Hong Kong stocks recently, right?

It was he who stepped in, helping the Yu family win this financial battle, preventing shareholders from losing everything and going bankrupt.

Zhong Shouguo: "..."

Zhong Yanyan felt extremely pleased to see her grandfather criticizing her father like that.

Let's see if you're still so arrogant!

Zhong Shouguo remained silent for a moment, but still didn't say anything. Instead, he asked, "So when do you plan to get married?"

"What kind of marriage?"

Zhong Yanyan countered, "We're just dating now, we haven't reached the point of marriage yet."

Besides, they might not even want me.

"What are you talking about!"

Zhong Shouguo said, "Is my daughter not good enough for him?"

"Maybe they just didn't like me in the end."

Zhong Yanyan deliberately said, "After all, in other people's eyes, your daughter isn't as outstanding as you imagine."

"Dad, aren't you going to do anything about it?" Zhong Shouguo's word was law, and no one dared to disobey him.

But this is at home.

No matter how high his official position or how powerful he is outside, when he returns home, he is always a father.

Your daughter isn't afraid of you at all.

They'll call you when they're happy, but they won't even acknowledge you when they're not.

There's nothing you can do about her!
Old Zhong said, "Let the young people handle their own affairs. Why should I interfere?"

"I have only one bottom line: as long as they don't commit crimes, I won't interfere."

"..." Zhong Shouguo.

Seeing that this guy named Xu Yun had completely won over his father and daughter, his own opinion was no longer important.

My main purpose in coming to Jiangcheng this time is for an international economic forum. I'm heading back tomorrow.

After having lunch at home, Zhong Shouguo, along with his family, went back to work in the afternoon.

People in high positions are always very busy, with full schedules every day, which is why Zhong Yanyan often sees him.

"Don't blame your dad."

Old Zhong explained to his granddaughter, "Your father is basically carrying the pressure of the entire Zhong family now. Everyone is counting on him to make further progress."

So in some matters, I get a bit anxious and want to ask for some external help.

Besides, that Lin family boy has indeed liked you since childhood, and he's a good person; he'd be a good marriage prospect.

"But how can you force something like this?"

Zhong Yan Yan sighed and said, "I don't like him at all. I want to live for myself for once."

Also, Grandpa, tell me, how high a rank does one have to be to be considered an official?

For ordinary people, my dad's current status is already incredibly high.

"So Grandpa supports you this time."

Mr. Zhong said with a smile, "I didn't believe in fate before, but now that I'm old, I'm starting to believe in it a little."

Some things, the more you want them, the less likely you are to get them.

When I joined the revolution, I never imagined I would survive and achieve my current status.

So, we just need to do our best and leave the rest to fate.

"Ah."

Zhong Yanyan smiled and nodded, then told her grandfather about Xu Yun going to watch the flag-raising ceremony, indicating that his worries were completely unnecessary.

Xu Yun is a man who loves his motherland to the core!
Mr. Zhong was naturally quite satisfied after hearing this.

That's good, that's good.

That way, even if he were to leave and someone wanted to settle scores or take advantage of his misfortune, he hoped Xu Yun could shield them and prevent his descendants from suffering too tragically.

In the Jiangcheng government building, Xu Yun met Zhang Heping again.

The reason he was here was because he had nothing better to do than wander around the development zone on the Jiangzhong Peninsula to check on the progress of his project.

Just now, I ran into Zhang Heping leading a team to conduct research.

Xu Yun had intended to slip away, but the other party saw him and immediately sent him a text message, asking him to come to his office in his car later to chat.

There was nothing he could do but wait at the project site for the other party to conduct their research.

Because a high-ranking leader came to inspect, all the senior management on the construction site went with him, leaving only some middle-level managers and him here enjoying the air conditioning.

Huang Haoguo happened to be delivering his first batch of steel bars.

After the handover was completed at the construction site, I was about to go to the project office to complete the signing procedures, but none of the leaders were there.

We had no choice but to wait.

The two sat together. Xu Yun looked at him and listened to what he had just said, and had already vaguely guessed the other person's identity.

Isn't this the guy Xi Huaimin asked to help him with?

He asked with a smile, "Are you the boss who supplies steel bars to this construction site?"

"Yes, my name is Huang Haoguo."

Huang Haoguo didn't recognize Xu Yun. He offered him a cigarette and asked with a smile, "What's your name, teacher?"

"My surname is Xu, you can just call me Xiao Xu."

Xu Yun asked, "I heard there was an issue with the steel bars at this construction site before. Are there any problems with the quality of your steel bars?"

"Teacher Xu, I don't like what you're saying."

Huang Haoguo said confidently, "My steel bars can be randomly inspected on-site at any time, and there will be absolutely no problem."

"That's fine. I heard that the boss of this company, President Ning, hates nothing more than inferior products being passed off as superior ones."

"Who says it isn't?"

Huang Haoguo nodded and said, "To be honest, Brother Xu, I know the steel bar that caused the accident last time. He often does things like passing off inferior goods as superior ones."

I never expected to encounter such a conscientious and responsible boss this time. Because of this incident, they investigated and punished everyone from top to bottom, leaving no one unpunished. That was truly satisfying.

"That's right, Ms. Ning is beautiful inside and out."

Xu Yun then praised him and asked, "Besides steel bars, is there anything else you're doing?"

"Yes, I also own a glass factory."

Huang Haoguo said awkwardly, "Business is just not good, it's about to go bankrupt."

"Then why don't you try to bring this business in as well? Such a large construction site must require a lot of glass, right?"

"Of course I want to, but never mind."

Huang Haoguo explained, "To be honest, I was able to secure this steel reinforcement business for the construction site thanks to the help of my friends. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance."

You wouldn't believe it, but many companies are afraid to buy my goods because they'll offend their superiors.

"I'm already very grateful that President Ning gave me this opportunity. I can't cause any more trouble for my friends or President Ning."

"Personal relationships are also a part of strength."

Xu Yun smiled and said, "Actually, as long as your products meet the quality standards, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

That's true, but...

"Brother, listen to me, go back and give it a try."

Xu Yun said, "As long as your products are really good and cheaper than others, the company has no reason not to use yours."

"..." Huang Haoguo.

Soon, the group accompanied Zhang Heping back to the project site, marking the end of the survey.

The leaders did not linger and boarded the Castel to head back.

Just before leaving, Zhong Heping suddenly called out to Xu Yun inside the project office.

"Mr. Xu, aren't we coming together?"

This scene stunned both the government officials around him and the engineers in the project team, who all looked at the young man.

Huang Haoguo was also somewhat bewildered.

He wasn't stupid; he watched the news. The man in front of the car was an extremely high-ranking official in Jiangcheng.

But this important figure, with a gentle smile, asked the man beside him to ride in the car with him.

What does this mean?
Xu Yun asked with a smile, "Secretary Zhang, do you have any empty seats in your car? Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"

"You boy!"

Zhang Heping said, "Yes, it won't crowd you, don't worry."

"Ok."

Xu Yun stood up and said to Huang Haoguo beside him, "Then I'll be going now, let's talk another day."

"Oh? Okay, okay."

Huang Haoguo responded blankly, watching as the other person got into the official car with license plate number Jiang A:00001 and drove away.

My God, what an important person I've run into!
The project manager, general manager, and supervisor were all unaware that such an important figure existed in their project team, and they were all terrified.

They asked the other middle managers present, but none of them knew anything. They only knew that he had come suddenly on his own, worked for a while, and then chatted with General Manager Huang.

These words made the project's senior management all look at Huang Haoguo with meaningful glances.

Seeing this, Huang Haoguo honestly said, "I'm not very familiar with him. We just chatted for a few minutes. I don't know who he is. He only said his surname is Xu."

Everyone: "..."

The manager, the general manager, and the supervisor all simultaneously thought of the man standing behind President Ning!

He seems to have the same surname, Xu!

No way, is this the big boss sneaking into the construction site for an undercover inspection?
For a moment, everyone was reflecting on whether they had done anything wrong or made any mistakes.

At the same time, everyone decided to change their attitude towards Huang Haoguo starting today.

After Xu Yun followed Zhang Heping back to his office, they began to chat.

First, I gave the usual briefing on the site survey I conducted today.

The standard procedure was originally adopted, which is why Ning Qian was not present today.

This kind of inspection is also the most genuine.

Since Zhang Heping has captured Xu Yun, it's more appropriate for him to tell him the situation on the spot than for General Ning to tell him.

Overall, he was very satisfied with the construction of the project; there were no major problems, and everything was done in accordance with regulations.

This shows that Ning Qian is a good manager and has lived up to my expectations.

The southern part of the city and the Jiangzhong Peninsula, to put it bluntly, represent Zhang Heping's further political achievements, and of course he doesn't want any problems to arise.

Xu Yun accepted all of Zhang Heping's praise.

Then Zhang Heping told him something else.

This matter has not yet been officially announced, but the number of spots has basically been confirmed.

In the next election, Xu Jiang will become a member of the CPPCC (Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference) in Jiangcheng and a representative to the National People's Congress in his capacity as an entrepreneur!

Xu Yun was completely dumbfounded after hearing this.

"Am I becoming a member of the system?" (End of Chapter)
