Chapter 2505
The Sense of Accomplishment of Being a Father
He Yuzhu didn't drink alcohol; he wanted to have a grandson.
He Chengyun bounced around on his grandfather's lap, his chubby body always trying to climb onto the table.
He Yuzhu hugged him tightly with one hand to prevent the little guy from falling into the chicken soup.
Children of this age are not to be neglected.
Their digestive systems are very good. Even when they are full, they still want to try some of the adults' food as they watch He Yuzhu's mouth move.
Winter and early spring in Beijing are not very healthy, so the little guy rarely goes outdoors after arriving in Beijing.
Despite the warmer, more fertile south, Tan Yali chose not to go, but instead led her children to stay in Beijing.
He Yuzhu understood what the old lady meant.
There must be family ties involved.
Lou Xiao'e must have wanted the children to get closer to He Yuzhu.
But Lou Xiao'e's choice was also based on blatant calculation.
Firstly, there is definitely no safer place in the world than Beijing.
Secondly, Lou Xiao'e herself didn't care, but she thought that He Yuzhu could introduce her workplace resources to He Xinghua.
Lou Xiao'e knows many people.
Even some big shots, whom He Yuzhu knows, may not necessarily remember him.
But no matter how much attention Lou Xiao'e receives, she is still just a business partner in Beijing.
She couldn't compare to He Yuzhu, who was one of the people in Beijing.
Just like the Song and Zhang families, they seem to keep a low profile in Beijing.
It seems they don't have much power.
But it is precisely these kinds of families that are the backbone of the workplace.
This kind of social circle is something Lou Xiao'e longs for, but can never truly integrate into.
Moreover, Lou Xiao'e didn't believe that He Yuzhu hadn't made any plans during his more than 30 years in Beijing.
He was able to remotely control three generations of his family, enabling them to become the richest family in Hong Kong.
So He Yuzhu didn't get any assignments in the Beijing workplace?
Will those friends I have in the workplace in Beijing also become successful people in the future?
This is what Lou Xiao'e coveted.
It is also a woman's little plan for the future of her children.
He Yuzhu was not angry.
Husband and wife, father and son, even the fourth son and He An sometimes play tricks on him.
Even in the closest relationships, it's normal for some calculation to exist.
As long as such scheming is not intended to harm others, then there is no problem.
Furthermore, there are the social connections that He Yuzhu has now cultivated.
For example, people like Lao Niu and Lao Chang definitely hope that their children will take better care of them in the future.
This resource is either for He Ping or for Xinghua.
Everything depends on the two children's own development and goals.
He Yuzhu would never approach Lao Niu and his group for something as trivial as arranging a job or getting a plot of land approved somewhere.
If that's all the children want, it proves they're hopeless.
If you push a child who lacks vision too far, you'll only harm them.
Fortunately, his two sons, whom he valued highly, are doing well now.
He Xinghua is a young prodigy who has now taken sole control of the He Group's strategy in the Japanese sword industry.
Furthermore, with increasing calls from outside for currency appreciation, the likelihood of success for this initiative he spearheaded is quite high.
If this goes through, He Xinghua will become a true business tycoon in the entire Asian business community.
Even in the global business world, no one will look down on him anymore.
This is not like the profit from the last silver investment.
That kind of thing is all about quick in and quick out; as long as someone can predict how precious metals will play, they can succeed. To put it bluntly, investing in silver for profit is more like a speculative activity.
This plan to develop the Japanese sword actually began two or three years ago.
By the time we manage to profit and exit, it might be the 1990s already.
By then, He Xinghua will be in the prime of his youth, the perfect age to build his career.
Although He Ping is low-key, he is actually doing quite well.
He didn't have He Xinghua's fame, nor did he have He Xinghua's money.
But he took steady and solid steps forward.
During this period, his mentor has spoken with He Yuzhu by phone several times.
The idea is to have He Ping become a graduate student after graduating from university and stay at the university as a teaching assistant.
He Ping's mentor knew about He Yuzhu's influence.
If He Yuzhu wanted to secure a good position for his child, having a degree from a prestigious university would be enough in today's society.
They were afraid he wouldn't agree.
But He Yuzhu was more than happy to agree, and he first confirmed He Ping's thoughts over the phone.
After learning that Mr. Fei had already communicated with He Ping.
They arranged a time, and the He family prepared six gifts for Mr. Fei, so that He Ping would properly kowtow to him several times.
What are the six gifts? Celery, red beans, lotus seeds, red dates, longan, and cured meat. This should be the common gift for students to pay homage to their teachers in ancient times.
This was much more elaborate than the cigarettes, alcohol, and tea that He Ping had given to Mr. Fei when he visited the university last time.
From now on, wherever He Ping goes, he can refer to himself as "my mentor" or "my teacher."
The key point is that Mr. Fei did not refuse the gift from the He family.
This is quite interesting.
Liu Ting must really enjoy being able to focus on her studies at school.
But He Yuzhu knew that with the development of reform and opening up, it would not be uncommon for academic excellence to lead to officialdom.
However, He Yuzhu did not tell He Ping about this matter.
Everything depends on the child's own aspirations.
He wanted to pursue scholarship, and the He family had the means to support his integrity.
If He Ping is thinking about taking on more social responsibility, He Yuzhu has already paved the way for the children.
This is the arrangement that He Yuzhu, as a father, is most proud of.
In this respect, He Yuzhu will never become someone like Lao Lu.
He always had selfish motives; it's impossible for him to be completely clean.
When spring arrives and flowers bloom, the world's capitalists stop pretending.
A large-scale sell-off of US dollars was conducted, while Japanese yen and German marks were bought.
América originally intended to devalue the US dollar by 12%, but the final result far exceeded expectations.
This is where the benefits of Lou Xiao'e's advance planning become apparent. According to a report in a Hong Kong economic publication, it was Lou Xiao'e's planning two years prior that passively doubled the assets of the He Group.
The reason is quite simple: the devaluation of the US dollar has affected Hong Kong's export business.
In 1983, Hong Kong Island pegged its local currency to the US dollar.
The devaluation of the US dollar makes Hong Kong dollars cheaper, which is a significant blow to Hong Kong's economy, which is currently transitioning from manufacturing to services.
Exported products have become more expensive, leading to a decline in competitiveness.
All industries are facing the dilemma of reduced orders and squeezed profits.
This should be a good thing for the Ho Group.
Because Lou Xiao'e had already arranged for her manufacturing companies to relocate to the mainland several years ago.
Most of their available cash was invested in the Japanese sword market. (End of Chapter)
