Chapter 2221
After eating your fill, it's time to eat well.
He Yuzhu smiled lightly and said, "Why bother trying to pull chestnuts out of the fire?"
After saying that, he stared blankly at the other person.
He didn't care that the other party was asking the question in a personal capacity for the sake of their own business.
Or perhaps the other party represents a group with vested interests and is trying to test He Yuzhu, this 'expert'.
But the fact that Hong Kong Island must return home is a non-negotiable bottom line, and this is absolutely unshakeable.
In other words, our negotiations with John Bull will absolutely not remain unchanged, as some people in Hong Kong have been advocating.
Once the news comes out, the Hong Kong market will inevitably experience a major shock.
That's for sure.
Those who are still stubbornly rushing in now are either stupid or malicious.
A fool would naturally want to earn the last coin.
As for those who are stirring up trouble in Hong Kong's economy at this time, it's unclear what their intentions are.
It's like a little story. Originally, both landlords treated their tenants and farmhands the same way. Later, when landlord A's family fell on hard times, landlord A seized a piece of landlord B's property.
Now that B has made a comeback, A is afraid of being punished, so he must return all the property and the people who worked for it to B.
Then, A chose to feed his farmhands and tenants meat every day and pay them extra wages...
Once those tenant farmers and farmhands returned to the Yi family's name, their mentality would be quite obvious.
So, the saying that John Bull was a troublemaker is exactly what it is.
Mr. Chen sensed the dissatisfaction and warning in He Yuzhu's words. Such a idiotic question was something a successful businessman like him shouldn't have asked in the first place.
Since the founding of our nation, our country has stood up to both the world's number one and number two powers, and we've even won.
How could they possibly back down to a bandit who is on his last legs?
In fact, discerning people like the HU family are quite certain about what will happen next.
The ideas that some foreigners with yellow skin and white hearts advocate are simply impossible to achieve.
In other words, the negotiations would inevitably result in John Bull unconditionally accepting our demands, and Hong Kong Island having to return home...
This is the result.
And what will inevitably follow is a hasty withdrawal of Hong Kong's economy.
Now, ordinary people go in thinking they can make a quick buck, and that's fine with them.
However, once such a huge sum of money is invested by a Malaysian tycoon, it will be extremely difficult to withdraw it later.
Lou Xiao'e was able to withdraw because she was originally from Hong Kong Island and was one of only two female Justices of the Peace on the island.
Last year, the Hong Kong government appointed another woman as a Justice of the Peace.
But that's not important; they're not in business.
"Mr. He, can I apply for a visa in mainland China? Will it be like it was years ago?" Mr. Chen asked again in a low voice.
He was even more nervous now than before.
Whether it's blood ties or the domestic market, both forces him to face the reality of China's reform and opening up.
But his concerns are understandable.
After all, people with some wealth are always worried about what path we will take in the future.
He Yuzhu really couldn't look down on the other party in this regard.
Now it's either completely Western-style, or it's the way our northern neighbor does it.
We have essentially forged a path that never existed before.
To outsiders, we are seen as having the foundation of a northern neighbor, but we are actually pretending to play the Western game.
This is a normal understanding.
"Our family has something special."
I don't want to say anything grand here.
Now that our two families have become related by marriage, we are now one family.
····
In many cases, don't look at what people say, but look at what they do.
What we, the higher-ups, want to do, and are doing, is ensuring our people have enough to eat and warm clothes to wear, and don't have to worry about being targeted by bandits...
Mr. Chen, you too grew up studying the Four Books and Five Classics, so you should know that our ancestors never believed in any universally applicable methods. Yu the Great controlled the floods by dredging and guiding the water...
We used that method during the liberation because that was the only method we had at the time.
Since the First Sino-Japanese War, what kind of methods of saving the country haven't we tried?
Reform, constitutionalism, democracy...
When have those foreign devils and their agents ever not caused trouble?
If we had been any softer in our methods back then, we would never be the independent and self-reliant we are today.
Now that we have completed the first step, our next goal is to make the people prosperous and the country strong.
Therefore, economic development and technological advancement are of paramount importance for the future.
You can rest assured about your investment concerns.
He Yuzhu patiently explained to Chen Sheng across from him.
At this point, he was no longer discussing the matter as the in-laws.
He was making a guarantee to the other party as a member of the group.
Chen Sheng's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and the tension in his body when he asked those questions also eased.
He let out a long sigh and laughed, "Hearing your words is better than reading books for ten years."
Principal He, you've really put my mind at ease.
····
By the way, Mr. He, may I be a little presumptuous?
But I still thought I'd ask.
If my family's business were to come in, what could it do?
The commercial real estate market in mainland China is clearly not yet open.
When he got to the part he was talking about later, he seemed quite embarrassed.
After all, compared to the previous issues, this one is rather small in scope.
He Yuzhu laughed heartily, feeling quite pleased with himself.
To put it bluntly, although his previous answers were all definite, he was still in considerable pain.
Convincing someone is not something that can be accomplished with just a few words or a promise made with a pat on the chest.
In particular, it requires persuading a businessman who has been successful in the business world for many years.
It can only be said that the other party originally intended this, otherwise even if He Yuzhu had just taken out his own heart to show the other party the red and black.
The other party won't be so forgiving.
The difference lies in the level of assertiveness, the sincerity of one's attitude, and the consistency of one's words...
Both will cause the other party's judgment to go in different directions.
If it weren't for He Yuzhu's reputation and the fact that the two families were indeed related by marriage, He Yuzhu would never have bothered to go through this trouble.
It would be better to spend that time in the yard teasing Su Manyun, who is helping out.
As for what to do...
After pondering for a moment, He Yuzhu said seriously, "We should work in industries that the people need."
Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng looked slightly bewildered.
The mainland is still lacking in everything, so does He Yuzhu mean that he can do anything?
It seems there's no difference between answering and not answering.
"Mr. Chen should go and visit the rural areas in the interior."
In previous years, we imported dozens of fertilizer production lines with a capacity of 300,000 tons each.
Last year, the contract responsibility system was further extended to lower levels.
Soon, the problem of people having enough to eat will be solved.
"The next step, naturally, is to eat well..." He Yuzhu spoke of this like a charlatan. (End of Chapter)
