346: Mr. Xu is not optimistic about Lin Yao
"Are you back?"
Looking at Xu Lingjun walking into the door, Mr. Xu put down the newspaper and asked with concern: "How are you having fun?"
"Beijing is very big, much more prosperous than our northwest ranch, especially the cars on the street, and we can't see a few cars there."
Xu Lingjun sat next to the old man, handed over a pen holder, and said, "I also bought you a pen holder, blue and white, a Hangzhou kiln from the 23rd year of the Republic of China. Do you like it?"
Mr. Xu put on his glasses, took the pen holder from Xu Lingjun, looked at it and nodded, "I like it, I remember there was such a pen holder in the study room that was broken by you later."
"Do you still remember?"
Xu Lingjun's smile became even stronger and he sighed: "I bought it because I thought of the pen holder after seeing it."
Pen holder is not expensive, what is rare is this kind of intention.
Mr. Xu stroked the pen holder, as if he had returned to the years he had been in the Xu family compound thirty years ago.
This contemplation took more than ten minutes.
After savoring it, Xu Lingjun looked up, and couldn't help but sigh: "I have two sons abroad, but none of them can match you. They are impulsive, frigid, and do not consider the consequences.
If they were here, they would probably not be able to wait for a few minutes, so they should have run out and messed around long ago."
Xu Lingjun just listened without saying a word.
Mr. Xu sighed, lowered the pen holder in his hand, and asked, "How is that young man surnamed Lin? Can you play with him?"
"You talk about him!"
Xu Lingjun thought for a while and said, "I have never seen such a calm young man. He is not even like a young man, but an old guy in his fifties and sixties.
You will never feel bored when chatting with him. He has a wide range of knowledge. Not only does he have certain insights into the affairs of his hometown, but he also has his own unique remarks on international issues."
"Um..."
Mr. Xu nodded slightly and reminded: "Although I don't communicate much with him, I can tell from a few words that he is a very powerful young man.
You can communicate more with him. You are only 36 years old. Don’t be like an old man all day long, that would be too boring.”
Xu Lingjun didn't speak. Those ten special years made him develop a character that was not easy to express his opinions.
He likes to read more, but doesn't like to say more.
At present, he has a good sense of Lin Yao because he does not have the arrogance of Hong Kong businessmen and has a positive attitude towards the motherland. This attitude is something that Xu Lingjun admires very much.
Your own country is like your own mother.
Even if you have complaints, you can't tolerate others saying that she is not good.
"Today, Xiaozi Lin said that in fifty years of life, you have to do something to make your life worthwhile.
I have achieved success in the United States and many people know me.
But in my hometown, in this place where I gave birth to and raised me, there was no trace of me.
His words touched me a lot. After I came back, I thought about it. Everything that happened back then has passed. Now that the country is prosperous and strong, I should do something too.”
Mr. Xu turned the topic to himself, showing that he was reluctant to speak but stopped.
Xu Lingjun saw it and asked, "What do you mean?"
The old man said in a deep voice: "I am going to use 10 million US dollars to fund the major schools in Yanjing.
No matter how hard you are, you cannot be educated. I heard from the people below that the libraries of major universities have not updated their books for many years, and many scientific journals are still used from ten years ago.
Over the past few decades, technology has been developing rapidly. If you derail from the outside world, it will be difficult to catch up.
In addition, I found that there were not many computers in my hometown, so I was going to donate another hundred computers to come.
The future is the era of information technology. How can a college student have never even been exposed to computers?”
After hearing this, Xu Lingjun couldn't speak for a long time.
He had a conversation with the old man yesterday. The old man still had a knot about what happened back then and had no intention of investing in the mainland.
But I didn’t expect that I met a Hong Kong businessman early in the morning, and the effort of three or five words brought so many changes.
"Dad, have you figured it out?"
"I figured it out, while my old bones are still there, do what I can."
Mr. Xu said, looking up at Xu Lingjun, and then said, "What are you thinking about? When will you go back with me?
If you and I go back, I will let you take over the company. In just three to five years, you will become the controller of a billion-dollar group.
By that time, if you are still concerned about this, you can do whatever you want and you can realize your value."
Xu Lingjun smiled bitterly.
Although some places have changed, some places have not changed.
What he cares most about is his company, and he is worried that there will be no successor. Whether it is to fund his hometown or come back to find him, it is actually a bit of purpose.
"Dad, give me some more time. This is not an easy thing to make a conclusion. I need to think about it again."
Xu Lingjun's heart is complicated.
Here is the land he loves, his wife and children who share weal and woe, and his first half of his life.
He could not leave at will and went to America with a father he had known for two days.
What's more, is America really as good as it says?
Not necessarily?
The old man has two sons in America, although in his words, these two sons are playboys and are not good at it.
But after all, if he appears, he has to consider how to face the two half-brothers.
Hundreds of chain supermarkets have over 10,000 employees and over 100 million assets.
What does this mean? Just the old man’s business can support people in a county.
With such a huge industry, will those two younger brothers who have never met be willing to let him take the position of chairman?
Let’s take a step back, even if he becomes the chairman, can he lead the company to achieve greater glory as the old man said?
He is 36 years old this year, and he can't even speak English, and he is not a young man anymore.
Can you adapt to the country under capitalism?
If it were five years ago, when he was in his early thirties and had not met Xiuzhi, he would be willing to go to America to make a breakthrough.
But now, what he values most is his family.
He just wants to stay by his relatives and be a husband and a father conscientiously.
No matter how good life in America is, it is not what he wants. He does not expect to be a billionaire, nor does he expect to manage a company with more than 10,000 employees.
Mr. Xu had these things, but Xu Lingjun did not find that he was very happy.
Xu Lingjun had nothing, but he was very happy and was full of hope every day.
"Lingjun, I'm not in a hurry to go back. You can think about it again."
Seeing Xu Lingjun's attitude, Mr. Xu said nothing, but his eyes were filled with loneliness.
Xu Lingjun's personality is so similar to him. He is a stubborn person who can't even pull back something.
If I had known this, I would have left him more Western classics to neutralize his red-colored brain.
"By the way, you went out with them today. Have you asked them what they were going to do when they came to the mainland?"
Mr. Xu changed his mind and asked Lin Yao and others again.
After hearing the sound, Xu Lingjun thought for a while and replied: "They seem to want to invest in a super mall, just like you did in America."
“Super mall?”
Mr. Xu was silent for a little, shook his head and said, "It's difficult. I have considered before whether I can be the first person to try it out before the super mall appears in my hometown and enter the Tang Kingdom in large numbers.
Later I denied this proposal. The situation in Tang State is still unclear, and there are different opinions on how to go in the future.
If you enter rashly, what if the policy of reform and opening up is rejected? At that time, all the private capital will be collected as state-owned, and you and I will cry without tears."
Mr. Xu caught up with a serious incident in which private capital was collected as state-owned thirty years ago.
He admits that he is afraid, and you can't help but be afraid.
The Xu family was also a powerful person in the north and fell apart overnight. He still remembers that scene.
Lin Yao is not afraid because he is familiar with the direction of history.
Others do not have this forward-looking nature, just take the reform and opening up as an example. It was also a situation that the great men made a complete opening when they visited the southern tour after the 1990s.
Before this, take this year as an example. The founder of Shame Guazi was arrested and once was imprisoned.
It was because he hired more than a dozen people to sell fried melon seeds.
The crime is: capitalist restoration.
Who can not be afraid?
If we were not afraid, foreign capital would have entered the Chinese market, it would not have been after the 1990s.
In the 1970s and 1980s, foresighted capitalists had long taken a fancy to the Tang market.
Don't move, it's not because you don't have capital.
