Chapter 439 Father's Meaning
The meal was very enjoyable and the daughter’s red wine was also delicious.
The Shu siblings never mentioned Lei Zhen and Shu Jin, but talked more about Lei Zhen's work, especially the eldest brother Shu Huizhan.
"These past few years have been tough for everyone, from top to bottom. Layoffs and job losses have led to numerous social problems, and our economic model is still at the stage of relying on agriculture to support industry..."
Shu Huizhan talked a lot with Lei Zhen, mainly about people's livelihood and economic issues.
As a leader, he actually has a hard time seeing what is going on below, but Lei Zhen is an undercover in the underworld and has a more thorough understanding of the problems at the grassroots level.
"Everything is geared towards joining the WTO. Everything will be fine once we're in." Lei Zhen lit a cigarette and said, "The demographic dividend will allow the economy to leapfrog. No matter how hard it gets, it will only take five or six years at most."
"Xiao Lei, you understand it more deeply."
"Using agriculture to support industry, promote investment, and encourage consumption, that's the overall approach."
Having experienced all of this, no one knows the development path for the next few decades better than Lei Zhen.
The past few years have indeed been difficult, but after joining the WTO, the huge population base of a big country will lead to economic take-off.
"Great, great."
Shu Huizhan was very surprised. He didn't expect Lei Zhen to have such awareness.
"Go on."
"What?"
"Let's talk about people's livelihood, economy, trade, etc."
"Okay, then I'll just briefly explain..."
To put it simply is to be modest. Lei Zhen spoke in great detail and made predictions for every step of the economic development.
He knew all this because he was aware of the wars that broke out internationally, and war and economy have always been tied together.
In other words, if you understand the history of war, you will naturally understand the economy, people's livelihood, etc. of that era.
Because these are behind the wars, and all wars do not exist alone.
"With the deepening reform of land policies, our country is bound to enter urbanization, and real estate will lead to a surge in infrastructure..."
Lei Zhen talked freely, and the Shu brothers and sisters looked at him with completely different eyes, full of surprise.
Shu Jin was even more proud, and she hugged Lei Zhen's arm in front of her brothers and sisters without any hesitation.
"Third sister, trade is profitable now, mainly to generate foreign exchange." Lei Zhen said to Shu Fan, "When you make money, buy a courtyard house. I guarantee you'll make more than running a company, and you can make money without having to do anything."
"Okay, I'll listen to my brother-in-law." Shu Fan nodded with a smile.
"Good, good, brother-in-law sees things very clearly. I even have doubts about what's going on in your head, haha." Shu Kaixuan joked with a smile.
"Not just right, absolutely right." President Shu said solemnly, "What Xiao Lei said is even more detailed than the estimates of our national economic team."
Hearing this, Shu Kaixuan and Shu Fan were shocked.
They knew what the brokerage team that the eldest brother was talking about was. It was the think tank responsible for the future economic development and operation of the country.
How the future will develop is basically in the hands of think tanks.
"Lei Zhen, how old are you this year?"
"Brother, I'm 20 years old."
"20 years old..."
Seeing Shu Huizhan silent again, Lei Zhen felt a little embarrassed.
No matter how you look at it, I am a little too young. My wife is more than ten years older than me, and my elder brother is more than thirty years older than me.
Maybe my eldest nephew is older than me.
"Are you interested in politics?" Shu Huizhan stared into Lei Zhen's eyes and said, "You could start as a grassroots civil servant, gain experience for a few years, then move to the city government, then to the provincial government, and then be seconded to the imperial capital..."
These words once again surprised Shu Kaixuan and his sister.
Big brother is preparing to train Lei Zhen, and even the promotion path has been planned well in a short period of time, and it is the fastest path.
“No!”
"Why? A career in government can do a lot for the people."
"Brother, this won't work. Last time, Boss Wu wanted to transfer me to the War Department Headquarters, but I refused."
"Career and military life are two different things."
"I still like the underworld."
“…”
It's that simple and crude, but Lei Zhen doesn't want to be bound by this kind of restriction.
At that time, you can't fight, you can't kill, and you have to go through a lot of procedures to travel abroad.
I have so many women and so much money, why should I be an official?
"Brother, having you at home is enough. Don't make things difficult for Lei Zhen." Shu Jin said, "He just likes freedom, and his temperament and personality are not suitable for officialdom."
"I understand, it's just a pity."
Shu Huizhan smiled and stopped talking about it, although he felt very sorry.
In the era of feeling one's way across the river by feeling the stones, there was a severe shortage of talent in economics, and development was barbaric everywhere. People like Lei Zhen who could see the future economic situation so clearly would surely have a bright future once they entered the political arena.
What a pity, what a pity.
…
After lunch, Lei Zhen said goodbye to Mr. Shu first, and then left accompanied by Shu Jin.
Shu Huizhan and his two siblings held a small meeting.
"Everyone please express your opinions."
As the eldest brother and the future pillar of the Shu family, President Shu asked his younger brothers and sisters to speak and express their opinions.
"I think he's pretty good. As long as Xiaojin likes him, that's fine." Shu Fan said, "Although Lei Zhen is young and not very mature in his work, his abilities are beyond doubt."
She fully supports this brother-in-law.
It’s not that she likes Lei Zhen that much, as long as her sister likes it, she will agree.
"This Lei Zhen is no ordinary person. He's risen from an unknown undercover agent to his current position in just six months. He's definitely a rare talent."
Shu Kaixuan took out a cigarette and lit it, praising Lei Zhen but frowning.
"He has a lot of women, and he's getting engaged to Tang Yingwu soon... That's what I'm not happy about. What will become of Xiao Jin in this situation?"
"I won't even mention how much this will affect our family's reputation. The main issue is my younger sister. What kind of person is she?"
"My younger sister has suffered for over thirty years outside. As her older brother, I feel so bad for her. If there are problems in her marriage again... Sigh!"
The Shu family is very united. The three brothers and sisters love their youngest sister very much. They always feel that they owe them a lot, so they always try their best to make up for it.
"What I mean is that as long as my younger sister likes it, that's fine. She's different from us, and we don't want her to become like us." Shu Huizhan shook his head and said, "I hope my younger sister is happy. I hope she's happy. As for marriage, it's not that important."
"Brother, is this appropriate? If our Xiaojin follows someone else without any status or status, I'm afraid that the rumors will be very unpleasant." Shu Kaixuan said.
"Let's block it. This is what father wants."
"Also, the only one who can control Lei Zhen is our little sister."
"Xiao Fan, when Lei Zhen gets engaged to Tang Yingwu in the Magic City, you will go there on behalf of our Shu family."
What does father mean?
Shu Kaixuan frowned.
"Brother, what on earth is going on?"
Shu Fan next to him couldn't help it either.
"Isn't it inappropriate for us to go? Everyone in the capital knows that our little sister is engaged to Lei Zhen, even though no one has come to inquire."
They can choose to respect it for the sake of their younger sister's happiness, but it is unreasonable to congratulate Lei Zhen on his engagement to someone else.
"I don't understand what my father means."
Shu Huizhan smiled bitterly, because this was also what his father meant.
