Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 554 Practice
The meeting room in the Cheng family manor had become quiet, and those who were supposed to leave left with things in their minds.

Regarding investment, since the head of the family has decided to invest personally for the time being, the Cheng Group can acquire it when the situation becomes clear. Of course, this requires a board meeting.

As for who in the family wants to follow him, that’s fine, but there’s no need to discuss what’s going to happen next.

When the people of the Cheng family learned that there was a real one of theirs over there, and that his current level was not low, and that he was willing to invest there, and that they would slightly increase the investment amount, they became more concerned.

For people like them, who have been doing business for decades, they are not worried about the intrigues in the business world. What they fear most is unclear policies and unstable times.

This situation would cause them to lose all their investment, which would make them very depressed.

Now they are no longer afraid, as they have someone on their side. At the very least, this can ensure that they are always aware of the latest policy trends. What they want is not privilege, but fairness.

There is no problem with investing, but it also brings with it concerns on the other hand.

Although Cheng Huaigu repeatedly emphasized that the eldest son would not come back to fight for the family property, everyone was still full of doubts. After all, internal strife was most likely to damage the foundation.

As for whether power or money is more important, is there any need to choose? Of course, they should grab both at the same time, at least that's what they think.

In their opinion, it is impossible for anyone not to be tempted by billions of assets.

Cheng Huaigu believed his wife's judgment more, and according to his youngest son, his eldest son did not seem to be short of money. He and his family lived in a large courtyard house in the city center. The furniture in their home was made of precious wood. The government also provided them with a car, and both husband and wife had jobs.

Based on his understanding of the domestic political ecology and living standards, his eldest son, whom he had not seen for decades, could be considered a superior person in every way.

Although the family does have some property, when it comes to comparing money and power, different people have different opinions.

"Brother, are you sure that the person you found in the country is Jianwen? Is it possible that he is fake?"

In the conference room, Cheng Huaixin did not leave. He told his brother that he was still a little worried about finding his nephew who was lost more than 30 years ago.

Besides, if he remembered correctly, his nephew should be less than 40 years old this year. How could he be so high-ranking before 40? There must be something wrong with this.

"I'll admit it even if it's fake. He and Jiansheng look exactly like two peas in a pod. Your sister-in-law said that Jianwen looks more like me when I was young than Jiansheng does.

Huai Xin, do you think this was specially prepared by that side? And the most important thing is to make your sister-in-law believe that he is Jianwen. "

"what?"

"He can tell me his childhood nickname, Huaixin. I'm afraid you don't even remember Jianwen's childhood nickname, right?"

"Ah? How old was Jianwen when he was lost? How could he remember his nickname that he hasn't been called since he was two years old?" Cheng Huaixin's eyes widened and his face was full of surprise.

"Maybe Jianwen has a special talent. Your sister-in-law talked to him about many things that outsiders could never know, and he remembered them all. It is precisely because of this that your sister-in-law determined that he was Jianwen."

"So that's how it is!" Cheng Huaixin nodded: "In that case, the possibility that it was sighting is very high. Does our father know now?"

"I know. He's been asking me to go back to the mainland these days."

"What did our father say about investment?"

"You know that the old man doesn't care about the company's affairs at all. He doesn't want to comment on this matter. He just wants to go to the mainland to see his eldest grandson as soon as possible."

"Hehe..." Cheng Huaixin smiled and shook his head.

"It's fine if he wants to go and see, but can his body withstand a flight of more than ten hours?"

Just when he said this, he seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly asked again: "Brother, sister-in-law's health...sister-in-law must be very excited to see what she saw, is there anything wrong with her heart?"

"How could there be no problem? Your sister-in-law fainted the first time she saw Jianwen. The medicine she took in advance didn't work. Jiansheng and Yushi were scared at the time. You can't imagine that your sister-in-law was finally saved by Jianwen."

"What? Brother, didn't you say Jianwen is now the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau? How come he also... knows medical skills?"

“It is said that he was taught by the old man who adopted him back then. His medical skills are very advanced. Your sister-in-law’s attending doctor here said that she must undergo surgery due to her current physical condition, otherwise she could get into trouble at any time. But Jianwen said that he can also cure her without surgery.

Oh, I forgot to tell you, Jianwen is Chinese medicine."

Cheng Huaixin didn't know what to say. The nephew whom he hadn't seen for a long time was not only the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, but also a skilled Chinese medicine doctor. This... This made him feel weird no matter how he thought about it.

The main reason was that he really couldn't understand how these two professions were combined.

"Brother, are you planning to let Jianwen treat my sister-in-law?"

"It's mainly because your sister-in-law is willing. The attending doctor didn't dare to guarantee whether your sister-in-law could survive the operation. A 60% chance of success was too low. That's why your sister-in-law didn't agree to the operation.

Now that there is a method that does not require surgery, of course she is willing to try it. What's more, since it allows her to be with Jianwen, she is even more willing.

Huaixin, you also know that your sister-in-law has been blaming herself for what happened to Jianwen over the years, thinking that it was her fault that the child suffered that disaster. In fact, the biggest reason for her illness is her heart disease. Let her live with Jianwen for a while. I estimate that even if she can't be cured, her mood will improve and her physical condition may be able to recover a lot. "

"I hope so!" Cheng Huaixin nodded with some emotion.

"So what are you planning to do with the investment?"

"As I said just now, this is my first investment, and Jiansheng will be in charge. My idea is to build a textile factory, a clothing factory, and I also want to build a TV factory..."

"TV?" Hearing this, Cheng Huaixin interrupted his brother directly.

"Who are you going to sell the TV sets produced in China to? Are you going to ship them all abroad? The living standard in the mainland is so low, so I'm afraid that if you produce TV sets in China, you probably won't be able to sell many of them, right?"

When asked where the televisions produced would be sold, Cheng Huaigu frowned.

In fact, normally speaking, he is the chairman of the Cheng Group. He does not interfere in the daily operations of the branch factories. He only looks at the results. How to produce and how to sell the products is the job of your factory manager.

But the situation this time is different. For the investment in the mainland, Cheng Huaigu plans to use his personal money first. He will bear the initial risks himself. When things stabilize in the future, whoever wants to invest can negotiate the price at that time.

Since he is investing his own money, of course he has to consider all aspects.

It was his youngest son who suggested building a TV factory, and the idea was first proposed by Li Yancheng and Cheng Jiansheng.

Others may not know what the domestic consumption capacity is like, but Li Yancheng, who experienced the 1980s, knows it very well.

Manufacturers of household appliances such as televisions, tape recorders, washing machines, refrigerators, etc. experienced rapid growth in the 1980s and before the mid-1990s, and they did not have to worry about not being able to sell their products.

It was not until the mid-to-late 1990s that, as more and more manufacturers began to enter the home appliance industry, quality began to vary. Ordinary people also began to pay attention to brands and quality when buying things. After the test of time, those shabby manufacturers were washed away on the beach.

Many state-owned enterprises that did not have time to transform were also eliminated in this wave.

It was only the 1980s, and there were only a few domestic television manufacturers. They were all black and white, and the production was not enough. If it weren't for the fact that you needed a ticket to buy a television, and tickets were the hardest to get, and if there were not many programs on television and the demand for televisions was low, the production would not have been enough.

But this situation will soon change.

The Cheng family is now investing in a TV factory in China. It will take at least one or two years before production can start, just in time to catch the first wave of hot sales.

Li Yancheng suggested to Cheng Jiansheng not only to invest in a TV factory, but also to manufacture cars, various industrial products, and so on.

Anyway, he is asking for a huge sum of money. He wants the Cheng family to invest in and build all of their manufacturing companies in China. As for what they are willing to invest in, it depends on how they consider it. The production lines of some things are even banned here by Europe and the United States.

Now Cheng Huaigu certainly didn't know whether this TV could be sold in China, but he was willing to give his eldest son some face. Isn't it just spending money to build a factory and buy a production line? Got it!

"Let's not worry about sales for now. We'll deal with it after the factory is built."

Cheng Huaixin curled his lips and asked, "So you mean you want to go back and take a look too?"

"I'm not going for now." Cheng Huaigu shook his head. "The old man and Shuyi are both going this time, plus Jiansheng and his wife, if I go too, I'm afraid some people in Chou Country will get nervous. What? You want to go back?"

"I want to see and smell it."

"If you want to go back, you can say hello there first, but don't go with the old man and the others."

As one of the important figures of the Cheng family, Cheng Huaixin's every move touches the sensitive nerves of many people. If several key figures of the Cheng family all run to the mainland, many people will be restless, and the Cheng family's business will inevitably be suppressed.

After more than 30 years of ups and downs in the Ugly Country, the Cheng family has long seen through the true faces of these people. What the ancients said was right, those who are not of our race must have different hearts.

So the last time the mainland invited them to conduct an inspection, even if there was no recognition of kinship, they would have taken the trip to diversify their investments and not put all their eggs in one basket.

The Cheng family may have their own plans for the distribution of internal interests, but when faced with such major events and major issues, they will definitely unify their thoughts and act in unison.

After so many years in Ugly Country, no matter what they did, they were never able to integrate into the real high-level circle. At many important moments, they were excluded or had to give up enough benefits, otherwise they would not be allowed to play. This made them deeply realize that this is not their home.

They had discussed earlier about shifting the industry bit by bit, and it has been implemented.

In recent years, they have invested in and built factories in many countries in order to diversify their industrial structure in the United States.

Investing in the mainland is a step they must take now.

Before knowing Li Yancheng's identity, Cheng Huaigu was more inclined to try out small moves first to test the waters, and then gradually increase the stakes after making sure there were no problems.

Now that his son is a leader of a high level, he must know about policy changes earlier than ordinary people, which is very important for their business.

Coupled with what his youngest son brought back, Cheng Huaigu made up his mind that he must support his son's work no matter what, even though he hadn't seen this son for more than 30 years.

……

Li Yancheng did talk a lot with Cheng Jiansheng at that time.

On the one hand, he also wanted Cheng to return to China to invest. As a very typical benchmark enterprise established by overseas Chinese, if Cheng could take the lead in returning to China to invest, it would play a very important role.

On the other hand, during this period, if you invest and build factories in the country, it is very easy to make money as long as you do business honestly and don't do anything messy.

Since you can really make money, why not let your own people make it?
After all, even if he didn't plan to change his name, the blood flowing in his current body was from the Cheng family, and he was still the child of the Cheng family who had been lost for more than 30 years.

The higher-ups agreed to recognize his relationship, even though it was forced upon him and he himself did not actually have this wish, but it had indeed happened.

He could understand the intention of asking him to recognize his relatives, which was to let Cheng invest in the country through him.

That's why Li Yancheng gave Cheng Jiansheng advice on investing in and building a factory.

Of course, whether the Cheng family would listen to his advice is another matter.

……

The Cheng family, far away in the Ugly Country, was discussing investment in China. At noon on October 3, Li Yancheng met with an old professor from Peking University, whom he had made an appointment with before the holiday, at a hotel.

When Li Yancheng arrived at the booked hotel, he found that the person who came to the restaurant was not just the old professor from Peking University with whom he had an appointment, but four people, three men and one woman. What they had in common was that they were all quite old. He had met one of them at his father-in-law's house last year. While teaching at Peking University, this person was also a specially hired consultant for a government department.

Ever since the proposal he wrote was published in the newspaper, many people wanted to talk to him, including those who worked in related government jobs, and many who were engaged in theoretical and policy research.

Before the holiday, he received a call from someone who clearly opposed the suggestion, but the other party did not make any personal attacks. He just discussed the matter with him.

There were those who supported the suggestion he made, and of course there were also those who opposed it.

In the restaurant, Li Yancheng's communication with the four professors lasted for four hours from noon. Fortunately, he knew the manager and waiters of the restaurant, so they did not drive them away. If it were other people who sat in the restaurant and chatted after eating, the waiters would have started to drive them away long ago, disturbing their rest.

Nowadays, all hotels are state-owned and do not necessarily belong to any particular unit. Many units have their own tertiary industries, which include guest houses, restaurants, shops, clubs, bathhouses, etc.

The family quarters of many large enterprises are like a closed small society. They have everything and can fully meet all the normal living needs of the employees and their families living there.

In many places, a district can be built around such a large enterprise, and all the basic public facilities built by the government here are to serve this enterprise.

Even decades later, this situation still exists.

For example, the Public Security Bureau has its own guesthouse and hotel. The staff there are not on the public security system, but most of them are formal employees of the Public Security Bureau. In fact, many policemen are now on the worker system, but their work is on a paid basis.

There is no other way to deal with this situation. There are not enough cadres, so we have to do this. If there are not enough workers, we have to recruit temporary workers.

At this time, most temporary workers still have the possibility of becoming regular employees. After working for two or three years and having some ability, many of them can be converted to regular employees. This is also the reason why everyone is so eager to be a temporary worker.

Although temporary workers' wages are very low, only about 20 yuan a month, and they do not have the monthly benefits that regular workers should have, and they do more work and are more tired than regular workers, it is still better than staying at home and doing nothing.

Before coming, Li Yancheng told his daughter Xiao Xiaoyu that if he hadn't returned after four o'clock, she should go to the hotel to look for him.

Little Xiaoyu was very obedient. She ran over as soon as it was four o'clock, and asked her father to play with her. Although the four experts and professors were still reluctant to leave, they were too embarrassed to continue holding Li Yancheng back to avoid leaving due to the request of a child, so they could only let him go helplessly.

"Meng, what do you think?"

Li Yancheng and his daughter left, but the four professors remained in the hotel's box and continued talking.

"It's a waste of such a genius to be in the Public Security Bureau. I feel like he knows more than those of us who have studied Western economics our whole lives."

Lao Meng is the old professor who called Li Yancheng before the holiday, and it was he who arranged today's meeting.

In response to his old friend's question, Professor Meng put down the teacup in his hand and shook his head with some emotion.

"I am somewhat curious about how he knows so much about the economic development of European and American countries, and how he grasps the capital operation of those European and American companies."

The only female professor among the four expert professors frowned and spoke.

"Have you forgotten what he did before?"

"From the Social Affairs Bureau. Of course I know."

"Then don't you know that the Social Affairs Bureau has an external department?"

"Uh..." The female professor paused for a moment when asked.

"Some of the information we learned about Western countries was provided by the foreign affairs department, and some was obtained by the Social Affairs Bureau and then forwarded to the foreign affairs department.

He was previously the deputy secretary-general of the Social Affairs Bureau headquarters office. Do you think he would not have seen that information? "

The one who started explaining was another professor, the one Li Yancheng had met at his father-in-law's house.
