Mixed in 1980

Chapter 545 Future
Chen Yanxi glanced at her younger sister, curled her lips in disgust, and thought that she didn't want to take care of her own child and just wanted to dump her on her parents. She felt indebted to her sister.

However, her little devil is indeed difficult to deal with.

Sometimes I just can't understand it. The stepmother is lazy, the fourth child is lazy, and that's all normal. So why did the little devil's generation suddenly mutate?

When that girl goes crazy, no one can control her.

"Brother Chen, don't look at me like that. You live with your in-laws and have someone to take care of your child. I'm not the same," Chen Yanyin said, feeling annoyed.

My in-laws are very nice, but I just can't get used to living here.

Unlike some people who absolutely refuse to live with their in-laws, Chen Yanyin likes it very much. Having her in-laws around saves her a lot of trouble.

Unfortunately, my in-laws are used to life in their hometown. They can manage to come to Beijing for a month or two each year, but they can't stand it for long and insist on going back no matter what.

Chen Yanxi smiled but did not refute.

After passing the traffic jam, we soon arrived at Xinghuo Building. Xu Jinqiu Charity Foundation is on the second and third floors, and Liyuan Charity Foundation is on the fourth floor.

As soon as Chen Yanyin arrived, she took over the publicity department.

Chen Yanyin was very familiar with everything from jade identification to the jade stock market and publicity, and she handled everything with ease.

Chen Yanxi really wanted to keep her.

Both are PhDs from Peking University, but while I have a PhD in archaeology, I've always fallen short in the business world, whereas the fourth brother is very capable.

Unfortunately, the fourth brother was completely unyielding.

Shaking her head in frustration, Chen Yanxi threw herself back into her work. She wasn't the type to work half-heartedly; she was always serious about what she did.

Life is fulfilling.

The two sisters have completely different temperaments, personalities, and even attitudes towards life. One tries to be a lazy bum every day, while the other tries to make the most of every day.

Time flies.

Before we knew it, it was time for Feixing Mobile to release a new phone. The launch event was a grand affair, but Chen Laosan was not present. Among the Chen brothers, he was the most low-key.

They are so low-key that they are almost invisible.

Logically speaking, most people in the technology industry are high-profile and frequently attend various press conferences, such as Yu Dazui and Lei Jun.

Chen Laosan, however, was an anomaly.

He rarely appears in the public eye. The last time he appeared was because someone on the internet was slandering Chen Lao Er for taking away a large amount of family property, which led to him showing a video.

However, after the new product launch, Chen Laosan was interviewed.

"Starting today, Feixing mobile phones have completely broken free from their dependence on imported chips."

Chen Laosan only made a special appearance after the breakthrough in chip technology.

Since the late 1990s, the Chen family has invested heavily in the chip industry, and although they haven't caught up yet, they have enough to last.

Most importantly, the technology tree has reached its limit.

We can catch up eventually.

The interview went smoothly, but the atmosphere became awkward when the Q&A session began, with some even suspecting that the interviewers were sent by a "competitor".

“Mr. Chen Yancheng, as far as I know, you are a Hong Kong resident? As far as I know, many wealthy people in the technology field immigrate.”

"What is your view on this issue?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yancheng narrowed his eyes: "Is a Hong Kong residency the same as immigrating? Young man, there's something seriously wrong with your thinking."

"I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to find a job again in the future."

"I don't think any company would want to hire someone with questionable thinking."

Ignoring the other person's pale face, Chen Yancheng smiled contemptuously: "As for my Hong Kong residency, I can explain it again without any problem."

Everyone knows that we have three mothers.

“In the 1980s, the social environment was quite special. The best option for my aunt and my own mother was to move their household registration to Hong Kong, and I also settled in Hong Kong.”

"That's all."

"As for immigration, some wealthy people immigrate, which is not hard to understand."

At this point, Chen Yancheng coughed lightly.

The statement that “rich people do not want to live in the country and prefer to immigrate” is incorrect.

"I've met too many rich people."

"Those who have immigrated and those who haven't can easily be grouped together, which explains your question." He chuckled as he said this.

He glanced around the room and said, "It can only be said that some people are very smart and rich, but lack ideals and beliefs, which is why they are unwilling to stay."

"Because they are extremely intelligent."

"They believe that in capitalist countries, a thoroughly Darwinian society, they have the capacity to expand at will."

"Take the law of the jungle to its extreme."

"They plunder vast amounts of wealth and fame, act with impunity and do whatever they want, turning all ordinary people who are not smart enough into nourishment for them, draining them dry."

"Making a fortune and quickly reaching the pinnacle of life—that's the true essence of democracy and freedom advocated by capitalist society."

"We will not try to protect the weak, nor will we interfere with social values. Everyone can develop freely, each according to their own abilities. Success is everything, and there is no going back on our moves."

Do you like it this way?

Chen Yancheng glanced around and said sarcastically, "It's safe to say that if that's the case, 90% of the people here will become nourishment for capital."

"They are the韭菜 (leeks) of capital."

“You might be unconvinced and think you’re very strong. But if that’s the case, go out and try it out to find out. Just being unconvinced won’t help.”

“My father, my second brother, loved to go out and plunder.”

"In their eyes, foreigners are just leeks to be harvested, and they will take any opportunity to cut them without ever considering the feelings of the leeks."

"Everyone should know about them."

"Under the impact of massive capital, personal talent and hard work are like castles on the beach; a single wave can level them all."

"This is why some people are leaving."

“If you have capital and ability, you can plunder wealth without restraint, but things are not like that in China.”

"You can create, but you can't be biased."

"You can make money, but you can't be unrestrained."

"For example, a few years ago, when Ant Group's IPO was blocked, Jack Ma was furious and jumping around. Many people should remember that, right?"

"At the time, many people did not understand and thought that his actions were really to help small and medium-sized enterprises. He was a wealthy man with the world in his heart."

What is the truth?

"Those in the know quickly revealed his true colors; that was nothing more than something Wall Street had already played, a form of capital arbitrage that could have triggered the subprime crisis."

"Many people just can't see through it."

"All I see is the rising balance of borrowed money. They're actually on the same side as Lao Ma, being sold out and still helping the other party count the money."

"What was it like back then? Everything was harmonious, and it seemed like we were about to harvest this wave of leeks (a metaphor for easily exploited people)."

"But when the iron fist from above came, everything vanished."

"If you were Old Ma, wouldn't you be angry?"

"Mad!"

"I swindled money through my own abilities, and the victims had no complaints. But now a third party is coming along and trying to strangle me. What's the point of being the richest man in the world?"

"Hey, by the way, being the richest person in the country is just so boring."

At this point, Chen Yancheng crossed his legs.

He glanced around again and joked, "At this point, some people will say, according to the logic I just mentioned, if all the smart and rich people have left, how did we develop?"

"Remember what I just said." "It's the smart and rich people who have no ideals or beliefs who run away."

"In our China, there has never been a shortage of truly idealistic and faithful people who are more capable than all these shameless clever people."

"They are the backbone of the nation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience erupted in applause. But there are always those who are stubborn. The person who asked the question earlier, in a fit of desperation, asked: "Is it possible that the welfare and social security systems are better abroad?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yancheng narrowed his eyes.

"There is indeed a point to make about this, and it is also a clever aspect of capitalist society."

"For example, if I want to enslave someone, can I first plunder them completely? In order to survive, that person will definitely fight me to the death."

"That's definitely not going to work."

"To paraphrase Master Tang, if you can't work yourself to the bone, how are you going to make money?"

"Then what should we do? Give them benefits!"

“I won’t give you a good job, so your children won’t have money to go to private schools. I’ll promote ‘happy education’ in public schools, so that after they graduate, they can only serve us by waiting tables or washing cars.”

"Or become a homeless person."

"Then they'd slip some tips out of their hands and give them some welfare benefits so that these people could get by. They didn't have much motivation to go in or resist."

"Happily be harvested like leeks every day."

"Is that true?"

"In peaceful years, everything is harmonious, but in years of disaster, when I need to give up some of my interests to help these leeks, I will definitely refuse."

"We still need to work hard to promote democracy and freedom."

“Look around, in the years since the biological warfare, has the capitalist society been doing this?”

"Don't think too highly of capital."

“Our family are big capitalists. When we’re abroad, we only have one idea: to reap huge profits. Who cares about the lives of foreigners?”

"After this crop is harvested, there will be another one."

"Never-ending".

At this point, Chen Yancheng chuckled: "Isn't it true that people often say, 'That's not right either, jobs in developed countries are easier than ours, and they pay more'?"

"It's not surprising that people have this idea."

"It's like a startup mobile phone company that's just begun to operate, and it's already trying to compete with Feixing Mobile in terms of benefits and compensation. Isn't that just courting disaster?"

……

The interview aired quickly.

The topic is quite pointed, with one commenting, "Chen Laosan is really fierce; how many people will he offend with these words?"

"He offended every wealthy immigrant."

"Anyway, Lao Ma is not convinced."

"Don't worry about it. Would the Chen family care about these people? Look at these people, how can they compare to the Chen family?"

"How much influence do you have outside when you take money out to spend? The Chen family is different; they can amass wealth outside, so you can imagine their influence."

Chen Laosan dismissed these comments with disdain.

If you dare to speak your mind, you're not afraid of offending people. So what if you spit in someone's face, even if it's just an interview?
The Chen family didn't take these people seriously.

So does he.

Feixing Mobile is a leader in the mobile phone industry and has invested in the entire industry chain. Although Chen Lao Er took the lion's share, he still retained a considerable number of shares in these industries.

His wealth could easily surpass that of a group of billionaires.

Feixing is the sole proprietor!
After briefly glancing at the online reactions, Chen Yancheng got busy again, constantly considering one thing: whether or not to take Feixing public.

Or turn a sole proprietorship into a joint venture!

Feixing Mobile has been doing very well under its own leadership, but whether its children will be able to take over in the future is uncertain. What if, in the end, the tech empire collapses overnight?

Who can say for sure about these things?

Family succession is never about each generation being stronger than the last; it's normal for each generation to be less capable than the last. If you're not as good as your father, your son might not be as good as you.

When that day comes, Chen Yancheng doesn't want to see this technological empire, founded by his father and further expanded under his own leadership, destroyed.

Joint ventures are also a trend.

Chen Yancheng waited until his parents returned from their trip before bringing it up directly, wanting to hear his father's opinion.

"You're going to die!"

Zhao Yuanyuan got agitated first and slapped her son several times: "What were you thinking, a leading technology company like yours wanting to form a joint venture?"

"Alright, why are you scolding your son?"

Chen Fan pulled his wife down to sit and comforted her, saying, "The third brother's idea is right. Technological competition may seem like a competition between companies, but it's more about the contest of national strength."

"Feixing and Huawei are like two peaks."

"Feixing is good whether it's in my hands or in the hands of the third brother. We've come this far step by step. If the descendants are incompetent, decline is inevitable."

"It would be a huge loss if such a technological behemoth were to decline overnight."

"Joint ventures are actually a very good option."

"The difference is who you partner with."

“Since the 1980s, our family has had fixed partners for joint ventures. The government is the best partner for joint ventures, and Feixing is the same.”

"Give up 30% of the shares."

"Three rotating presidents, one of whom is an official."

"If future generations are incompetent, it's fine to continue giving up shares. Keeping a portion of equity means you'll always have food to eat, which is better than dying by your own hand."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yancheng was somewhat surprised.

The old man had always been domineering in business, so it was unexpected that he would agree to transfer shares: "Dad, is that the decision? Let's bring in government capital?"

Chen Fan nodded and waved for him to leave quickly.

Zhao Yuanyuan was seething with anger, and when she exploded, she was going to give her son a good beating.

"What's there to be angry about?"

Pinch his wife's cheek and Chen Fan joked, "You know we have five children, and the third one is the most generous and sentimental."

"Flying Star embodies his hard work and dedication."

"He has already developed an emotional attachment to the company. Rather than keeping the company under his control, he hopes that Feixing, this technological behemoth, can participate in future competition."

"That's really good."

"What a load of crap!" Zhao Yuanyuan gritted her teeth.

After a long pause, he said dejectedly, "We just separated the family and officially handed the company over to him, and he immediately pulls this stunt. It would have been better not to give it to him at all."

Chen Fan put his arm around his wife and said, "You're wrong about that. Joint ventures are an inevitable trend. I can only say that the third brother has foresight, which is better than mine."

"I will only hold onto it in my own hands."

"The idea that a company should only lose because of its own mistakes is not a good thing. It's good that the third brother is willing to share power."

Zhao Yuanyuan pouted, looking very unhappy.

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Just watch, not only the third brother's company, but also the Chinatown supermarket under the fifth brother's control will follow the path of joint venture in the future."

"The difference is whether it was Xiao Wu who suggested it or his two children."

P.S.: The finale is tomorrow!
