Chapter 425: Chapter 425 This Isn’t Considered Money_1

As they watched the shiny black Mercedes-Benz G-Class driving away, Director Li and Director Zhang had smiles on their faces, waving their hands non-stop.

It was only when they could no longer see the taillights of the Mercedes-Benz, that they lowered their hands...

"Director Zhang, why do I feel a bit dizzy? Wasn’t today just about having a casual meal, to inquire about studying in Russia? How did it turn into a foreign investment!" Director Li exclaimed, shaking his head.

Director Zhang laughed and said:

"Isn’t this a great thing?!

Speaking truthfully, you’re really lucky this time, Li. Our district’s first foreign investment was born under your control, your reputation...

It’s a big deal now!

Do take this matter seriously, get it done as soon as possible, don’t let the cooked duck fly away.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you, once this news gets out, not to mention other counties, even the district management might want to come over and steal it!"

He was not trying to scare Director Li. At that time, every means were used to "grab" investors.

Blocking people at airports, intervening halfway, making subtle moves behind the scenes, and more. If you could think of it, it was done!

Even within the same district, everyone was a competitor...

Such matters are related to everyone’s "reputation" and future, there’s no time for niceties or sentiment!

Hearing Director Zhang’s words, Director Li’s smile faded, and he nodded vigorously.

He said: "I understand! Wang Ye’s father is one of our bureau’s employees, so Wang Ye can be considered a descendant of our bureau, he’s one of us. The fact that he chose to talk to me directly, rather than going to the district or county authorities, means he values our friendship. This kid is decent in his actions!"

Indeed, for such an investment, Wang Ye didn’t really need to find Director Li.

If he had gone straight to the district, he could definitely get better policies and conditions!

Even going to the county authorities would not be a problem at all.

To put it bluntly, as long as he represents foreign investment and is ready to invest with a cheque in hand, whether it’s the county, city, or even the province, he could enjoy VIP treatment!

We all know that in domestic affairs, things often work more efficiently when they are pushed from the top down than being pushed from the bottom up...

Doesn’t Wang Ye understand this principle?

He does!

But he still chose to tell Director Li directly, essentially handing him a weighty "political achievement".

That’s why Director Li feels Wang Ye is genuine!

As for why Wang Ye did this and what his real intention was, it might be somewhat different from what Director Li thought...

......

"Why did you suddenly bring this up to Director Li? Actually, it would have been better if I had spoken with the county. Do you have a deeper consideration? Or, is there some big plan you have?"

Inside the car, Wang Ye’s dad finally voiced his doubts.

At the dinner table, when Wang Ye talked to Director Li about buying a flour improver factory, his father felt confused, but he didn’t say anything.

He understood, since Wang Ye had managed to stir up so much and make so much money in just one year abroad!

He definitely wasn’t stupid, he might have thought of many things that he himself hadn’t considered.

Therefore, there must have been a reason for his actions, perhaps it was just something he himself hadn’t thought of...

Wang Ye gave a grin, casually saying, "It just happened, it’s easier this way, I didn’t think too much about it. Anyway, letting Director Li push and handle this matter is even more convenient, right? So, I just told him."

His father was astounded. So it turned out that Wang Ye was just trying to save some trouble, and there were no plans or deep considerations...

"Are you... serious? You’re not fooling me, are you?" His father seemed a bit incredulous.

This is a purchase worth millions after all!

It’s about the fate and future of hundreds or even thousands of employees!

But when Wang Ye spoke, he seemed so flippant, as if it was nothing...

Wang Ye looked surprised, turned his head to look at his father, and asked back, "Ah? Of course I’m serious, why would I fool you? The acquisition would be at most 10 million, less than 1.5 million USD. I’m not exaggerating, it’s not much money to me. Is it worth going round and round just for this?"

He wasn’t bragging.

This amount of money really wasn’t much to him...

Not to mention the Siberian gold mine, Polar Bear Investment Company, Xiao Ying Group and so on. Just Wang Ye’s salary and subsidies from his various positions, could fetch him more than 10 million US dollars annually!

His father was speechless. For a while, he didn’t know whether Wang Ye was being too arrogant or his perspective was just too narrow...

In front of his son, he felt a little...

How to put it? His emotions were quite complicated, I suppose.

He felt pride and honor for his son, but also a bit of...

Loss!

Yep, that’s how he felt.

Many fathers are the pillars of their families, and mountains in the eyes of their children.

And usually, fathers take pride in this.

But all of a sudden, their children who once admired and depended on them have grown up, achieved success, and even reached a height that requires them to look up to!

As a father, while feeling happy for his child, he would also have a faint sense of loss!

Now, in front of Wang Ye, this was his father’s feeling.

A year ago, his father overcame objections and took out most of the family’s small savings and even borrowed some money to send Wang Ye abroad.

Although doing this put pressure on the family’s finances, his father didn’t feel bad about it.

He felt that he was doing what a father should do for his child!

Doing his utmost to create better living and learning conditions for his child; so even if his child didn’t achieve great success in the future, he could have a clear conscience as a father.

At that time, he was Wang Ye’s pillar, his "mountain"!

Wang Ye looked up to him with dependence, and admiration!

But just a year later, a lot had changed...

The kind of cash he’d never dared to dream about, his son casually brought it out.

He’d never even seen the type of million-dollar luxury car his son drove, and his son drove it with such nonchalance.

His son had already gained the "respect" and "face" that he himself had never had at only nineteen...

......

In the end, his father sighed.

At the same time, a smile appeared on his face.

His son had grown up...

His thoughts and considerations are probably very different from his own.

But he couldn’t use his old experiences and habits to judge his son’s actions.

Even though he had been through more than his son, this didn’t mean he was right. His son had in fact faced situations he himself had never encountered!

There are times when being older and having more life experience doesn’t necessarily mean understanding more.
