Chapter 1273: How to Use the Money Earned is Key
After finishing their meal, the elderly people strolled back home, taking a leisurely walk to digest their food.
Each courtyard has two housekeepers, one responsible for cleaning the courtyard and the other for taking care of the food and daily life.
After the elderly people finished tidying up and went back to their rooms for a midday rest, the four of them were drinking tea in a bamboo pavilion in the courtyard.
Liang Cheng looked at Xu Feng and asked, "Do you think what the old man said was a dig at us?"
Xu Feng rolled his eyes. "Don't tell me you didn't hear that! I need to think about whether I've been doing something wrong lately?"
Liang Cheng was also thinking, "It's possible, then think about it carefully! I'll think about it too!"
Liu Meilan and Fu Chen looked at each other and said, "Let's think about it too!"
Liang Cheng laughed when he heard Liu Meilan's words, "Meilan, you don't need to think about it! You've already done a very good job! My grandfather often analyzes what you do at home and praises you, telling us to learn from you and to do things in a practical way!"
Xu Feng was taken aback. "Your grandfather praised Meilan too?"
Liang Cheng nodded, "Of course you're praising me!"
Liu Meilan blinked. "I just run my business honestly and straightforwardly. It's not as good as everyone says!"
Liang Cheng shook his head. "Meilan, you underestimate yourself! Let's not even talk about the gold you handed over last year, which solved the country's urgent needs and made the national treasury more abundant. We also transported hundreds of tons of gold as a credit guarantee in order to join the WTO. It was like someone was delivering a pillow when you were dozing off, stabilizing the financial situation."
"Let's talk about your businesses, the electric vehicle industry, which is new energy! It upgrades people's transportation and creates a lot of jobs, as well as upstream and downstream industries. Xu Feng has more to say about this!"
Xu Feng nodded repeatedly, "Yes! The upstream and downstream industries are gradually improving, and products are constantly being updated and iterated! We now have staff members researching new energy vehicles. This is developed based on electric vehicles."
“Our area is a power supply production base. We are taking this opportunity to improve our infrastructure and attract investment, and more and more people are investing locally. There are also more and more factories producing related parts. The city, the province, and even the country are paying close attention to this.”
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "I just discovered some great things in the lab, and then spent money to promote them, turning these things from paper to reality! Now there are fewer and fewer people riding motorcycles on our island, and a lot of people riding electric bikes! They're quiet and easy to charge!"
Liang Cheng's eyes showed approval. "Let's not even talk about the ornamental fish farming industry! While other farmers are doing business domestically, you've already taken your business overseas! Exporting all kinds of ornamental fish! Pearl farming, which drives farmers to grow pearls, is another huge industry! Now, Shenzhen, Hainan Province, and the saline-alkali land areas in the west of the inland are all actively expanding their farming scale."
"Following Dafu Jewelry, which mainly produces low-end products that flood the market, its emergence filled the gap in the mid-to-high-end segment of China's jewelry industry. With its superior materials, excellent design, and rich cultural heritage, it has gradually gained an increasing market share both domestically and internationally!"
"It carries more than just money; it carries culture. These things transcend low-end manufacturing and are highly profitable! That's what we're pursuing in the future! You've taken the lead, and more people will see that as long as you work hard, you can make a profit and survive!"
"Finally, in the financial field, domestic investors only engage in long-term investments! When targeting international speculative capital abroad, your operations are treated as classic cases and become essential examples taught in schools."
"Finally, your almost obsessive and aggressive investment in emerging internet technologies and high-end technologies such as semiconductors has allowed these companies to develop fully without any worries, and the results are already beginning to show. Each of these areas is truly remarkable!"
Xu Feng wholeheartedly agreed, "Yes! My grandfather also discussed it! But Liang Cheng, what you've said are all superficial reasons. I think my grandfather's analysis is correct. The most fundamental thing Meilan did was to achieve a secondary distribution of profits in every investment she made!"
"First, after receiving the profits, taxes were paid and salaries were distributed, completing the first phase of distribution. In the second phase, these profits ended up in Meilan's hands. He didn't squander the money on a lavish lifestyle, nor did he transfer the money abroad to immigrate. Instead, he chose to increase investment in industries that the country and the people needed. In addition, he donated the money to schools, research institutions, and charitable organizations!"
Liang Cheng thought about it carefully, then gently patted the table. "Yes, that's the key! In fact, for the country, the national market is so big, it doesn't matter who makes money! But how those who make money use it is another matter! Meilan, you are a good role model."
Liu Meilan touched her face, "Oh dear, I'm a little embarrassed by all the compliments!"
Fu Chen smiled and said, "They were just telling the truth; they weren't praising you."
Fu Chen never worried about Liu Meilan, precisely because of this. Liu Meilan made money, but she didn't love money. She used that money to do more things, to improve the lives of her employees, and to continuously innovate the company's processes and technologies. Most of her investments aligned with national policies, and some were even ahead of the curve in certain industries.
As Xu Feng said, money is money no matter who earns it, so why not let someone who is poor but self-reliant and successful but generous to the world earn it?
Liu Meilan smiled as the three men praised her, "Since you all say so, then I accept it. My grandfather always told me that people have a sense of belonging. What we do is not important; the key is what the country needs and what the people need."
This is one of the reasons why Liu Meilan receives so much positive praise.
Grandpa Fu came for two consecutive years. Last year it was to support Liu Meilan, and this year it was to recuperate, but there was a deeper reason behind it, which was to show his approval of Liu Meilan.
Xu Feng smiled. "You have a long-term vision. Tell me, what will happen next?"
Liang Cheng also looked at Liu Meilan with hope in his eyes, "After joining the WTO, some people agreed and some people opposed. However, development is the main theme and will eventually prevail. It's just that many people are unsure about the unknown road ahead."
Liu Meilan carefully considered the matter, saying, "Going forward, we will involve more people and more people in the international division of labor. Foreign trade is developing rapidly along the southeast coast. Inland cities will also develop, but at a slower pace than the coastal areas, but that's alright. The eastern region will use the resources of inland cities through transfer payments, thus promoting common development."
