Su Cheng didn't say anything, but that's what she was thinking too.
Of course, he couldn't let a little girl get her hands on it so easily. Not only could he not lose these assets, but he also wanted to find a way to deplete Meng Suqin's last bit of value.
The doctor's diagnosis was clear: Meng Suqin wouldn't live much longer. While she was still alive, they should make use of her as soon as possible.
However, we need to investigate the background of that little girl first.
An eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl couldn't have run away alone; someone must have helped her.
Su Cheng immediately sent someone to investigate, but unfortunately, they couldn't find the person even after several days.
Meng Fuyan hasn't left the house for the past few days. She came to Gotham City with Gu Tingzhi and went straight to his house. She hasn't left since. As long as news about Gu Tingzhi doesn't leak out, there will be no news about her outside.
After being treated by the spiritual spring water, Meng Suqin's health improved more and more, which surprised even herself. During her time recuperating at home, she taught her daughter to study the businesses of the Meng and Su families, and after many days, she saw considerable results.
Looking at the documents in her hand, Meng Fuyan had a general idea of what was going on.
"Mom, the Su family must have been looking for us these past few days. I told Tingzhi, and he said the news wouldn't leak out, and the Su family definitely wouldn't be able to find us. So, in the end, they'll probably go and ask the Meng family, right?"
Meng Suqin was drinking tea from a cup in her hands. It was a health-preserving tea that Meng Fuyan had prepared for her. She had recently fallen in love with drinking tea and always felt full of energy after drinking it.
Her daughter was truly her best medicine. Since her daughter came to visit and she knew that her son in China was also safe, her health improved, and she felt that she could live a few more years.
Sitting down next to her daughter, Meng Suqin listened to Meng Fuyan's words and said with a smile, "I will definitely go, but I won't go at first. The Su family is very greedy, and in their hearts, they still secretly regard us Meng family members as servants. They feel that what we servants have should belong to them, the masters. So, taking advantage of my worsening illness, they put me under house arrest at home because they were worried that I would become too closely connected with the Meng family and that the Meng family would take away my wealth."
“Now that I’m missing, they’ll look for me on their own at first, but it’s still early, so they won’t tell the Meng family about my situation for now.”
Meng Fuyan raised an eyebrow. "So, they only went to the Meng family to inquire, or perhaps they joined forces with the Meng family to deal with us, because they had no other choice?"
Meng Suqin nodded, "Yes, they won't be willing to let a little girl like you take over the business I own. In their eyes, I'm about to die, and you're an obstacle in their way."
Meng Fuyan glanced at the documents in her hand and placed two blueprints in front of Meng Suqin. "Our machinery factory can also make these two things."
Meng Suqin glanced at it, nodded, but sighed, "It is indeed possible to make it, but it is difficult to get orders. Heavy industry products are profitable, but right now, it's good enough if we can sell a few handicrafts in China. We should have just lifted the lockdown this year."
Meng Fuyan fell silent.
Indeed, the international situation forces them to do some things they cannot do.
This year has only just begun to show some promise; the trading environment will only improve next year.
In fact, many of the exported goods in that era were simple handicrafts, mostly made by rural people. Complex, mechanized production simply didn't have a chance to sell them.
Moreover, there is a shortage of it domestically.
Everyone knows these things make money, but in this day and age, it's just difficult.
However, Meng Fuyan knew about the future, so she was still very confident.
"The situation has gradually improved this year, and it will only get better in the future, Mom. We can prepare ourselves so that when the opportunity comes, we can seize it. Right now, how about we make something simple, like clothing, hair accessories, hair ties, and shoes?"
In the 1980s, we still exported a lot of cloth shoes to make money, let alone now in 1971.
Meng Suqin raised an eyebrow, somewhat curious about her daughter's thoughts, "You're very optimistic about the future of the mainland?"
Meng Fuyan nodded affirmatively, "Of course, the world's most hardworking and intelligent people live there. They have been leading the world for thousands of years, but they have stumbled. I believe they will catch up soon."
Meng Suqin was very happy and nodded, saying, "I believe it too. So, whether it's the Meng family or the Su family's industrial layout, it's all related to this. In the short term, what the mainland needs most are daily necessities. When we have money in the future, we will be able to make high-tech products. Right now, we are still in the accumulation period, and I can't get involved yet."
Looking at the documents in her hand, Meng Fuyan said, "Let's start with something simple, not sensitive materials. That should make the transactions much easier. I'll talk to Tingzhi; he has more channels."
Meng Suqin nodded, "Okay, you go talk to him. Once you've settled things, we'll go to the Meng family home."
Meng Fuyan immediately smiled and went to find Gu Tingzhi.
Gu Tingzhi has been very busy lately. Meng Fuyan waited until he came back in the evening before going to see him. In the study, Meng Fuyan knocked on the door and saw him reading documents, with a thick stack of papers in front of him. Meng Fuyan smiled and walked over, "You've been very busy lately?"
Gu Tingzhi looked up and saw that it was her coming over, and his eyes showed joy.
He was too busy with work, and with his mother-in-law around, he had less and less time to spend with this young woman. Sometimes he wouldn't get home until midnight, and she would already be asleep.
"come over!"
He reached out his hand to her, and Meng Fuyan immediately placed her hand in his palm and sat down on his lap.
What are all these?
Holding the person in his arms, Gu Tingzhi felt quite satisfied and replied, "Development plans for the next few years."
Meng Fuyan glanced at it and thought, "Hmm, she's very good at timing."
Do you want to buy grain?
Gu Tingzhi nodded, "Stock up a bit. I've analyzed the economic environment here for a long time and estimate that it will be quite unstable in the next few years. The prices of daily necessities are likely to rise. Now that I have the opportunity, I plan to stock up in advance."
Meng Fuyan suppressed a laugh and continued, "Is this oil? You want to stockpile oil too? You're an outsider, it won't be easy for you to get involved in the oil business, will it? Besides, is this stuff easy to store?"
Gu Tingzhi looked at the documents in front of him, his eyes gleaming.
"This is the lifeblood of industry, so it's natural to stockpile it. We don't have a channel for it yet, but I'm trying to find a way."
This stuff is essential; he's hoping to make a fortune. Although he won't stockpile a lot, there was an oil crisis in the US in 1974. If he operates secretly and properly, he'll definitely make a profit and gain a foothold so he can enter a better circle in the future.
For businessmen, networking is very important. They need to establish a foothold within a few years, otherwise it will be difficult for others to take over.
Seize this opportunity and leverage it; once trust is built, you'll attract more and more partners.
Meng Fuyan knew what he wanted to do, so she didn't press him further. Instead, she showed him some blueprints and asked, "I'd like to have this done domestically. Is that alright?"
