Chapter 1553 So you're actually a rich young master!
"Ten Five-Year Plans? You're something else."
Ni Dashen was speechless.
Li Ye's words, "I'm still young. As long as I don't die, I'll give you ten five-year plans," left him speechless.
Because Master Ni can't exactly swear at people, right?
[Ten Five-Year Plans—are you trying to compete with a nation in terms of capability? Only China has ever set sustained goals for fifty years. Are you trying to match the capabilities of a nation?]
Looking at Ni Dashen's "you're kidding me" expression, Li Ye asked unhappily, "What's wrong, Lao Ni? Do you not have confidence in my character? Or do you not believe I can live to be eighty?"
Master Ni blurted out, "I believe in your character, and I believe you can live to be eighty, but I don't believe that capital won't be greedy."
Li Ye, you studied economics, you should understand that individuals are very vulnerable when faced with enormous profits.
Private enterprises have fewer constraints, and their development is driven primarily by their own interests, without regard to the will of the state.
Even if you, Li Ye, have a patriotic heart, when faced with huge profits, will the shareholders of Fengyu Electronics obey you alone?
"Let alone private enterprises, even in state-owned enterprises, I've seen too many cases of brothers fighting amongst themselves and causing chaos, abandoning invaluable projects for a little personal gain."
Perhaps because he had drunk too much, Ni Dashen's words became increasingly blunt and indignant, as if the honeymoon between Fengyu Electronics and the mobile company was over and the good situation he had worked so hard to build over the years would fall apart.
It's no wonder that Master Ni is so pessimistic, or that he harbors so much resentment. It's just that these days, there are far too many lessons of people turning against each other for personal gain, and of people being short-sighted for their own benefit.
Private enterprises, once they make money, will want to make even more. They will develop in whichever direction is profitable, so sometimes their development is beyond their personal control, or their development direction may be "forced" upon them.
There are mountains of gold and silver ahead of me, why can't I earn them? I'd jump into an abyss if it were the deepest abyss.
Li Ye listened quietly to Ni Dashen's ramblings, showing no sign of getting angry.
He felt that Ni Dashen was like an overinflated balloon, about to burst. Now that he finally had an outlet to release his pressure, it was good for him.
Of course, this is only because of Ni Dashen; if it were anyone else, Li Ye would have already flipped the table.
I spoil you.
But think about it: decades later, many people are still single-mindedly pursuing "freedom" in the West, while Ni Dashen gave up the opportunity to become a middle-class citizen in the West in the 1980s, spent all his savings on books, and resolutely returned to the mainland.
Based on Ni Dashen's courage and conviction alone, he deserves Li Ye to listen to his heart and to give him a corresponding explanation.
When Ni Dashen realized he was embarrassed, Li Ye gently asked, "You've been keeping these words to yourself for a long time, haven't you? Now that you've said them, do you feel much better?"
“.”
Master Ni stood there stunned for a long time before letting out a deep sigh.
"I've indeed been holding this in for a long time, but it's not just because of you, Li Ye. But after thinking it over, the only person I can persuade is you, Li Ye. No one else is willing to listen to me; they only believe in immediate gains."
Ni Dashen talked for a while, then shook his head and chuckled: "You know, Li Ye, I didn't expect to be able to say so much so freely. I thought we would have an argument, after all, you are a beneficiary."
Li Ye smiled faintly and said, "You know I'm a beneficiary, yet you still want to argue with me. I admire your frankness."
Master Ni gave a bitter smile: "What kind of frankness is this? You know, Li Ye, I actually wanted you to speak the truth after you've had a few drinks."
Because I truly can't see through you. I really want to know what you're thinking. Are you a shrewd capitalist, or the same Li Ye who was once so sincere?
"Truth comes out when you're drunk? Are you trying to get me drunk? Old Ni, do you even know your own alcohol tolerance?"
Li Ye was both amused and exasperated.
If you want to speak the truth while drunk, you should at least get yourself completely tipsy. But Li Ye's alcohol tolerance is what it is, so Ni Dashen's idea is really overestimating himself.
But Ni Dashen said with a complicated expression, "My alcohol tolerance is much better than before, and it seems to be getting better and better."
Li Ye immediately understood that what Ni Dashen meant was that he had been drinking with people more and more often over the years, which had increased his alcohol tolerance.
A technician who dislikes socializing has managed to develop a high alcohol tolerance through sheer hard work; the difficulties and sacrifices involved are unimaginable.
Now that all his efforts are about to go to waste, how could he not feel resentful?
Li Ye smiled, because this country really needs people like Master Ni.
"Old Ni, it's unlikely you'll get me to spill the beans when I'm drunk. I can't hold my liquor; by the time I'm drunk, you'll probably be fast asleep."
So let me tell you in advance! I have absolute control over the development direction of Fengyu Electronics. Even after we implement this technological separation, Fengyu Electronics' investment in the mainland computer-related industries will not decrease.
Moreover, not only will the investment not be less, but it will be doubled, and the pace of development must be accelerated, because those hungry wolves overseas have already noticed our growth, and we don't have much time left."
“.”
Ni Dashen stared blankly at Li Ye, trying to see through Li Ye's facade and to make sure he wasn't lying to him.
But then he felt ashamed. After all, why should he let Li Ye fool him? Did Li Ye have the time to fool him? And if he didn't, what could he do? Did he have the ability to stop this from happening or something?
But Li Ye didn't try to fool Ni Dashen; instead, he gave him an explanation.
"Old Ni, do you know the origin of Fengyu Electronics?"
Ni Dashen nodded and said, "I know. It's a joint venture invested in by Hong Kong businessman Pei Wencong. Pengcheng Fenghua Clothing and Pengcheng Red Bull both contributed funds. Hao Jian of Fenghua Clothing is from your hometown, so he's practically one of your own."
Li Ye glanced at Ni Dashen: "Besides Hao Jian, Pengcheng Red Bull is also one of my own."
Ni Dashen was taken aback and asked in surprise, "What do you mean? Isn't Pengcheng Red Bull a Malaysian company?"
Li Ye leaned forward and whispered, "You know Fu Guiru, right?"
Master Ni said, "Of course, she's been in the newspapers and donated a lot of money, who doesn't know that?"
Li Ye smiled faintly and said, "Fu Guiru is my mother. In the 1960s, she couldn't bear some things, so she went to Malaysia to stay with her uncle. Do you understand now?"
Master Ni was stunned again, remaining so for a long time as a series of unbelievable things came together in his mind.
"I see, you're a rich young master!"
