On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Wen Dalu suddenly gathered all the younger generations at home to Wenjia Bay and said he had something to discuss.
Wen Dalu's two sons, three daughters, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, grandsons, granddaughters, and dozens of other people gathered at Wenjia Bay at 10:00 in the morning.
Seeing that everyone was present, Xiao Zhen's uncle hurriedly asked, "Dad, do you have anything to announce?"
Wen Dalu looked at his descendants who filled the living room and said, "Now that everyone is here, let me tell you that I'm 85 years old, my wife is 83, and my youngest grandson, Xiao Duo, is 14 years old.
He worked hard for most of his life to raise a large family with just a brick knife.
Each of you has done quite well, and the five of you families are living a comfortable life.
Your mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother and I have no plans to live in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, or Shenzhen after the new year.
I will stay at home, the second son. You can't leave your home anyway, so the two of us will live with the second son's family.
If you find being an old man and a mother annoying, we can just live in this brick and concrete building in Wenjiawan. The old man has money and you don’t have to worry about anything. That’s how it is.”
"Dad, how could I not care about you when you said that? I know you are old now and you don't think your elder brother and sister are bad. You just want to return to your roots when you are old, right?
Then just follow me. Transportation is convenient now and you can drive yourself. If you don’t want to drive and want to go out for a walk nearby, just tell me.
You said you are old, so how can we let you live alone? This will allow people at the Wenjiawan intersection of Yuqian Road to poke me, Wen Yunming, in the back and accuse me of being unfilial.
Big brother and sisters, don’t argue with me. I’m staying in my hometown in Yuzhou and won’t go anywhere.
Besides, for work reasons, there is no mechanism and I cannot go to the big coastal cities.
Don't worry, if the old man and his mother get thin or sick and no one takes care of them, you can come to me directly to settle the score. "Xiao Zhen's second uncle Wen Yunming said hurriedly
"Okay, boss, then you guys should tear down this brick and concrete building and build me a small Western-style building. It should have an elevator. I'm not so agile climbing stairs at my age."
Wen Dalu took out a cigar from the cigar cabinet, and Wenming took it directly, cut it, lit it, and handed it to his grandfather.
"Okay, then Dad, you and Mom will temporarily live with the second oldest brother. After the 8th day of the first lunar month, I will arrange for a construction team to start the work. The second oldest brother got the advantage, but I want you to worry about it, and I can't let you take care of the two elders alone. My sisters and I will give each of them 5,000 yuan a month. What do you think?" Xiao Zhen's uncle Wen Yunli asked the other three sisters for their opinions
"No problem." X3 replied
Wen Yunli continued, "Dad, we all know you have money, but you must keep this 20,000 yuan every month. This is your filial duty while your son and daughter are not around.
Second brother, I'm sorry to trouble you alone. Do you have anything to add?
Dad’s house will probably be repaired and renovated in three months. Will you live in the new house in Wenjia Bay or the house on Laoeryudong Street?
If you live in Wenjia Bay, I will arrange for two people to cook and clean. I will pay for it. Otherwise, your son will not be able to sleep well at night."
"I live in Wenjia Bay. I love Sichuan cuisine. The person you arrange must be a Sichuan chef." Wen Dalu said
"He's the junior apprentice of Lao Kong, the chef from Xiao Town. He opened his own restaurant. You've tasted Lao Kong's cooking.
The other one who cleans the house is Wenming’s aunt’s eldest daughter. She is divorced and not well educated, but she loves cleanliness and is good at doing housework.
How about Mom and Dad? If there are other candidates, these two will be the ones to take up the post in three months. Wen Yunli asked.
"That's fine, your mother and I are not some weird old man or woman." Wen Dalu nodded in agreement.
"Then Dad, I'll arrange a good boy to drive you. You can go anywhere nearby. First, we can drive, and second, we can rest assured with a boy protecting us." Xiao Zhengtang said
"Uncle, when you renovated the house, you built a garage and a hangar. I asked Huamei Aerospace to tow an M911 over here. Dad, the person you arrange must be able to fly this thing.
Grandpa and grandma, don't worry about your concerns. You are over 80 years old and if you have a headache or fever, it will be more convenient to go to the hospital for treatment by helicopter. "Xiao Zhen said
"Well, Xiao Zhen, all of us grandchildren have to pay for this helicopter. We can't just let you pay for it." Wenying's cousin said
Wenming also said, "I know you have money, but for this plane, we have to pay for it as Damei said."
"Okay then!" Xiao Zhen also felt that he couldn't handle all the money by himself...
The matter of Xiao Zhen's grandparents was settled, and Xiao Zhen also returned to Zhenyuan on a private plane on the seventh day of the New Year.
Just after arriving home and resting for less than half an hour, this guy Tottori came to Zhenyuan to report on his work.
"Did Xiao Li's Cyberport go bankrupt?" Xiao Zhen asked, handing Tottori a Cohiba.
"Yes, boss, this guy is also a man who can make money out of nothing, and he is a good storyteller.
Fortunately, we had already submitted the investment plan for the Paradise Innovation Industrial Center in Tin Shui Wai before him.
On one side is bragging, on the other side is a real high-tech investment project, and we just knocked it out like that.” Tottori said
"That's good. That guy tasted the sweetness of the satellite TV project, so he thinks he can do it this time too?" Xiao Zhen said with a smile.
"Haha, didn't you see that guy's argument was directly rejected? He even invited media scrutiny in advance, but it was rejected on the spot. Mr. Li's face turned pale on the spot." Toritori said with a smile.
"Let me see the overall plan. Who designed it?" Xiao Zhen suddenly wanted to see the overall plan and said
Tottori took out the paper plan directly from his briefcase and handed it to Xiao Zhen.
Xiao Zhen saw nine oval buildings with a large bubble in the middle as a conference and activity center, which could be used for exhibitions and academic and technical exchanges.
Moreover, enterprises in these supporting parks can use them for free, and are also given a big discount of three years of rent-free.
The Asian headquarters of Pan American Venture Capital Group is also here, making investment and financing very convenient.
The first batch of investment reports included 43 well-known companies that would establish their Asian headquarters and research centers, with a pre-investment of US$4 billion. This is scientific research funding that will be put into use as soon as it is built, not including the output value of the tertiary industry.
The reason why the Hongcheng Paradise Innovation Center received such a large pre-investment is mainly because Huaguang Semiconductor’s second-generation EUV processing center set has been released. These guys just don’t want to pick up what others have left like the first generation, so they have to catch up quickly.
In addition, Pan American International Venture Capital, the world's largest high-tech venture capital firm, has settled here and has its Asian headquarters here. Is there anyone with a more sensitive business sense than this world's top high-tech investor?
So it is not surprising that Li Er’s Cyberport failed. The two sides had different backgrounds, and the one who was just shoveling the land could not beat the one who was shaking the beaker.
