HCB Chapter 1170 Investment Intentions
Chapter 1170 Investment Intentions
The three elderly people, though they hadn't seen each other for decades, showed no signs of awkwardness.
Grandpa Xie also found common ground with them, discussing literature, history, and interesting stories from home and abroad, which delighted him greatly.
Wu Zhenhua and Wu Meihua have decided that they will live here from now on and will not go anywhere else!
The relevant government departments stepped in to find burial plots for their parents and grandparents, and Wu Zhenhua, as the eldest son, agreed.
At the same time, Wu Zhenhua accepted his sister's suggestion, not wanting to make a big fuss. As long as they could determine where their parents' remains were, that would be enough; they could erect a monument there and have a place to pay their respects.
Director Li breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the feedback. This greatly reduced his workload.
Wu Meihua stayed close to her older sister Wu Songhua, saying, "Sister, my brother and I are living with you. Don't you find us annoying?"
Wu Songhua reached out and pinched her younger sister's cheek. Although it wasn't as smooth as it used to be, that didn't stop her from spoiling her. "What nonsense are you talking about? The kids all have their own things to do. The four of us live here, and we can even put together a mahjong table! We can also go to the museum together or go out for a meal... we can keep each other company!"
Grandpa Xie quickly added, "That's right! If we didn't want to reunite with my older brother and younger sister and live together, we wouldn't need to live here! At our age, what's the point if we live far apart and only see each other a few times a year?"
"Besides, it's usually just the two of us who can't finish all the food we cook, it's such a waste! With you two included, we can have a few more dishes! The room you're staying in upstairs is decorated to your liking, so please don't feel uncomfortable staying here!"
Wu Zhenhua smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm 86 this year, and I'm going to live in this old house! I'll die here!"
Wu Songhua quickly spat, "Why are you saying such unlucky things so early in the morning? It's bad luck! You should think of it this way: you're only 86, you're still more than ten years away from 100!"
Wu Meihua laughed too, "Sister is right, brother, you misspoke today! We're going out for a stroll this afternoon, it's your treat!"
Wu Zhenhua nodded repeatedly, "Okay! My treat!"
The four elderly people had endless topics to discuss, while the younger generation had even more to talk about.
Wu Fengdeng was very interested in Liu Meilan's investment. "Meilan, I have a feeling that the local government will invite me to invest in Hohhot! Do you think it's necessary for me to invest here?"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "From a public perspective, we will consider anything that can bring huge profits to your company. With more than 20 years of reform and opening up, this place has become not only a production base for many industrial products but also a consumption base. The chips you produce have a broad market here, and the investment environment here is also very good."
"Personally, my maternal great-uncle and paternal great-aunt have already expressed their intention to retire here. Based on the unspoken rule that a local official is more powerful than a distant one, and for the sake of convenience, I think you will also invest in the market here."
Wu Fengdeng laughed, "You were absolutely right! I heard from Qin Zheng that you've invested a lot here, and all of them have been very profitable, without any mistakes! Would you be interested in taking a stake?"
Liu Meilan had been waiting for this very sentence, but upon hearing her uncle's words, she didn't mince words, "Of course I'm willing! In fact, I've already been planning to invest in semiconductor-related projects! I've also funded many R&D teams in China and achieved some results. No, we only produce low-end chips; we can't produce mid-to-high-end ones!"
“Uncle, I know that you chose me because you value our family relationship and our social connections in China, so that I can take good care of this factory while you are away!”
Wu Fengdeng nodded repeatedly, "You are indeed very smart, you understand immediately! In fact, foreign R&D and high-end chip production still need to be done there. Even if we want to switch back, the US is not willing. If we don't follow their instructions, we are very likely to be marginalized, blocked, or even shut down!"
Liu Meilan nodded, "The US uses this high technology to reap profits globally, so of course they won't allow high-end products to be transferred to China! However, as we are making rapid progress in developing mid-range chips, the US must have already received the news. Therefore, they would be happy to see the market for terminal chips dumped in China! This way, they can directly disrupt the domestic chip industry!"
Wu Fengdeng smiled and said, "That's exactly what they're doing! They're lifting the ban on terminal chip technology in order to counter the challenges from China's chip industry!"
Liu Meilan readily agreed, "I can accept this investment! We'll discuss the specific investment method and amount with the government later!"
Wu Fengdeng smiled and said, "Great! It's good that you're interested! I'll send someone over later, and you should arrange someone on your side as well!"
Liu Meilan nodded, "I will arrange for Qin Zheng to participate with his team!"
"Is he going to invest too?" Wu Fengdeng asked.
Liu Meilan nodded, "He played a very important role in our reunion, given our willingness to do so. I can't let him work for nothing!"
“That’s true! This young man is very smart!” Wu Fengdeng replied. “Plus, he’s a local, which gives him a natural advantage! In addition, this project involves a lot of investment, and having more investors can also mitigate the risks.”
Wu Fengdeng and Liu Meilan reached an agreement on this matter, and both of them were very optimistic about the project.
Wu Fengdeng asked curiously, "Meilan, I heard you also have a deep-sea fishing team?"
Liu Meilan nodded quickly, "Yes! Fishing was the source of my first pot of gold! Before I got pregnant and had children, I went out to sea every time! Everyone said that as long as I went with them, the catch was always huge! Now, even though I can't go out to sea anymore, I often go sea fishing in my yacht! Uncle, do you like fishing? If you also like sea fishing, I'll have someone prepare a yacht, and we'll go sea fishing!"
Wu Fengdeng laughed heartily, "I like it! But I expect there will be a lot of people visiting these days. Let's go fishing when we have some free time!"
Liu Meilan nodded repeatedly, "It's settled then! We'll have a fishing competition. My fishing skills are exceptional; I've never lost!"
Wu Fengdeng was also quite arrogant, "That's because you haven't met me yet!"
Liu Meilan was delighted, "Uncle, you used to be the best at fishing among your friends. Meeting me might show you what a true master is!"
Faced with Liu Meilan's arrogance, Wu Fengdeng was not annoyed at all, but rather very happy. The younger generation in his family did not like fishing, which dampened his enthusiasm.
Now that a younger generation member enjoys fishing, and even yacht fishing, how can I not be happy?
In contrast to the lighthearted discussion between Liu Meilan and Wu Fengdeng, the exchange between Wu Fengnian and Professor Xie was very formal and rigorous.
