"I didn't say I was going to retire. I just thought I would focus on investing from now on, and leave the management to others!"
Besides, what am I doing guarding such a large family business? Is there anyone to inherit it?
"That's true, none of your children are interested in economics."
"Xiao Li, you can't say that! If the son can't inherit, there's still the grandson, isn't there?"
"Grandson? Our eldest son is almost 30 and still not married. Even if he gets married now, it will be twenty years before he has children."
These past twenty years are neither short nor long; given the current pace of development in our country, we've long since fallen behind the times.
"How is that possible? We're still far behind developed countries!"
"Leader, we are far behind, but I believe that in twenty years, in some aspects our country will definitely not be worse than developed countries!"
"Tell me about those aspects!"
"For example, in the military field, such as aerospace!"
"In terms of military affairs, even in the most difficult times of the past, our country has never stopped developing in this area, let alone now, and it will never stop in the future, so I believe it."
But how could our space program surpass that of developed countries?
"Boss, just wait and see! Putting aside everything else, in developed countries in aerospace, scientific research is all done by individuals."
In our country, however, there are dedicated departments that specialize in this research, which makes a difference.
What he wants from individuals is the information they bring, which is meant to make money, and to make the most money in the shortest amount of time. This is very rare. Even if it takes twenty years to see results, it will take at least thirty to fifty years!
People in those countries can't afford to wait!
"You're absolutely right. Is there anything else?"
"Of course, there's also the fact that no matter what difficulties we encounter, our people will support any decision made by this country to the greatest extent possible, something that Western countries would never do."
How can you be so sure that our people support our government?
"It's very simple! If we insist on doing practical things for the people and do everything for the people to live a good life, won't the people naturally support our government?"
Western countries can't do that. But there's one thing they do better than us!
"Oh! That's a good place!"
"They have all sorts of emergency relief! But we don't. Ordinary people, especially those in rural areas, can only rely on their children when they get old and can no longer work."
But if the children are good, it won't be a problem for them to take care of their parents in their old age. This is unfilial. Or they are the five-guarantee households, and it will still be a problem when they get old.
The most crucial issue is the difficulty of accessing medical care. Minor illnesses often pass unnoticed, but for serious illnesses requiring hospitalization, the first consideration is whether they can afford it; otherwise, they're left to go home and wait to die.
"That's true."
Do you have any good suggestions?
"I haven't made any suggestions yet, but I'm thinking about whether I should set aside a portion of my annual income for this purpose."
But I haven't thought about it in detail yet!
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"The most important problem is how to determine whether they really need it. Putting aside other things, there are some people in the village who have become rich, but when they encounter someone who can help them, sometimes they can't maintain their moral bottom line."
Similarly, in this town, there are also people living at the very bottom of society who also have great difficulty accessing medical care.
"What you said is indeed a problem, but we need to think carefully about how to solve it. We don't want to end up with people resenting us even though our intentions are good."
"So, I'm planning to take a good look at that Western fund recently."
Let's see if we can find a solution.
"No, are you not planning to leave any for your own child?"
"We definitely have to keep them, but we'll decide how many and how to keep them later! I'm still so young, isn't it a bit too early to think about this?"
"Don't you think it's a bit early to be thinking about retiring from the chairman's position so soon?"
"Is it too early? I feel I have more important things to do, so let's get someone else to take on the chairmanship as soon as possible!"
"You're just thinking about it here; it's not that easy to back out if you really want to."
"So, I've set a timeframe of ten years for myself. After ten years, I'll be able to retire no matter what."
"You're really different from everyone else. Everyone else wants to hold the reins forever, but you, on the other hand, seem to think that the power you have is too hot to handle, and you can't wait to let go of it."
"I also just want to retire early and see the beautiful landscapes of our motherland as soon as possible."
"Yes, I want to go see it too!"
After gradually moving to the Li Building, all work returned to normal, and I had time to visit other places.
Although I live in Beijing, the places I visit most often are Shanghai and Guangzhou, where I have invested in quite a few projects in recent years.
In the twenty years since they opened up, these places have also developed the fastest, and they are completely unrecognizable from their original state.
Everywhere is brightly lit and bustling with traffic, and people's lives are getting faster and faster.
Young people are increasingly drawn to sunny places, but I myself yearn for a life away from the city—it's too tiring.
Over the years, as his business has grown bigger and bigger, his reputation has also grown, and more and more people have sought to invest in him.
So this time, several projects were finalized.
I've found one company that I like in the express delivery sector.
The Chinese people have also done a good job in developing their own mobile phones. Although every household uses telephones now, mobile phones will definitely become the mainstream in the future.
I have a natural advantage here; I know which industry will be the most profitable in the next one or two decades.
These are all in the early stages right now. If you need money and have some on hand, why not invest it?
As for those that can go abroad and set up factories in Western countries, isn't that also acceptable? We won't let any of them go unnoticed.
Putting aside everything else, whether it's lawyers, legal advisors, or financial advisors, I have people and investments to support them, so that's not a problem.
It's fair to say that even before the turn of the millennium, his net worth had already reached several billion.
As for waiting a few years until the company or related industries go public, then the net worth will not just double, but could be several times or even dozens of times higher.
However, with economic development, the development of the internet has also accelerated.
