Chapter 387 Just Pretend I Never Said
Jiang Shu came back after class.
When he saw Gu Yu sitting in his living room and glanced at the feather duster on the table, he knew that Gu Yu must have complained.
He sat down unhappily and said to Gu Yu, "What else can you do besides complain?"
Gu Yu said, "What else can you do besides picking on me? If you have the time, can't you just do your academic research? I'm just a fool. I didn't want to study at Jiangzhou University. My family insisted that I go there. Do I have any choice? Don't you know about this?"
Jiang Shu: "It is because you know it clearly that I want you to study hard."
"Oh, you can explain this to Uncle Liu later. He will be back soon."
"you……"
Jiang Shu looked very unhappy.
He may not take anyone seriously now, but Li Yuan is his lifelong idol.
When I was a child, I only thought that my father was a very good friend. There were many things about my youth that I didn’t dare tell anyone else except my father.
When he grew up, he immersed himself in learning, and his understanding of the world gradually became complete. Later, he went to college and graduate school until he completed his doctoral thesis.
Now, his understanding of the world has become almost perfect. The more so, the more he can understand the greatness of his father.
He did many things that ordinary people could not do.
The biggest test in those things is actually yourself.
It’s not that what my father did was difficult, but that he was still willing to do it even though he knew he would lose money.
This is an anti-human way of thinking.
Nanshan Group is losing money.
Although Nanshan Group is now worth hundreds of trillions of yuan, its actual debt is close to ten trillion yuan, and its annual profit is less than one hundred billion yuan. It can only be said that it looks relatively benign.
This is the result in recent years, as the company had been making losses before that.
Even so, without considering the interest on the loan, it would take a hundred years to pay off a debt of 10 trillion.
But Nanshan Group is one of the greatest companies in the world. No one dares to touch Nanshan Group, because whoever touches Nanshan Group will have to find jobs for 20 million people.
Nanshan Group is different from BiXin. Most of the positions provided by BiXin are provided indirectly, and BiXin also has a certain degree of substitutability.
Who dares to replace Nanshan Group? Who has the strength to replace such a big company?
Even if Nanshan Group was given to someone else, no one would dare to take it, because no one would dare to run it like their father.
More than ten years ago, Jiang Shu was still young.
However, in recent years, he has made up for his past history, especially in terms of economics.
Eighteen years ago, there were big problems with the domestic economic cycle, and a large number of gaps suddenly emerged.
The sluggish domestic consumption almost dragged the economy into the abyss.
It was Bi Xin that stood up, it was Qinghe County that stood up, and it was Nanshan Group that stood up.
With the support of Laiqian Capital and Qingtian Capital, some consumer confidence has been restored.
That is a very difficult thing to do, and it is not what you say.
That was something his father had planned five years in advance, and he spent hundreds of billions of dollars to gain everyone's trust in Bi Xin, Nanshan Group, and Qinghe County.
It is not easy to build a mountain. Without a sufficient foundation, it cannot bear much weight.
If domestic consumption had not been boosted that time, China would not be where it is today, and would most likely have collapsed along with the US dollar.
It is precisely because Qingtian Group and Nanshan Group dared to give up profits and provide adequate protection for their employees that tens of millions of people have the capital to consume.
It is precisely because BiXin Mall is willing to give concessions to customers and manufacturers, and is willing to lose money to provide high-quality after-sales service, that everyone can believe in the quality of BiXin Mall's goods and will not feel that they are being ripped off. Even if the economy is sluggish, they are still willing to come here to consume.
Similarly, it is precisely because Nanshan Group provides secure employment for hundreds of thousands of migrant workers and job opportunities for millions of ordinary people that each family can maintain stability.
It is precisely because of these factors that some high-quality domestic companies can survive.
This is a system, a very large economic system.
Eighteen years ago, the combined number of employees of Qingtian Group and Nanshan Group was no more than two million.
Today, the two groups have a combined 60 million employees worldwide, indirectly providing 200 million jobs.
These 60 million employees affect at least 40 million families and involve more than 200 million people.
The jobs indirectly provided affect the lives of more than 700 million people.
Without his father’s anti-human thinking, there would be no two groups today.
He looked through all of his father's experiences and discovered that his father was simply a god.
The guy who had no desires and didn't even have a hundred dollars in his pocket gave up wealth worth at least 5 trillion yuan.
It was 5 trillion eighteen years ago. If it were put into today's money, you wouldn't know how terrifying that amount of money would be.
Before that guy's death, the media gave his worth as 200 billion. He didn't know how those media had the nerve to write that number.
Not worthy of his status at all.
And such a character was not even written into the textbooks.
Recently, he has been completing his last bit of knowledge about this world, trying to comprehend what level his father's realm is.
He just had no idea for the time being , and he wanted to wait for an opportunity to communicate with his father.
In recent years, my father has rarely communicated with me.
Maybe she felt that he was grown up and had his own understanding of the world, and she didn't want to impose his ideas on herself.
After all, everyone's perception is different.
He asked, "When will my dad be back?"
Gu Yu smiled and said, "What? Are you crazy about getting beaten? Jiang Shu, I didn't expect you to be so perverted..."
As soon as Gu Yu finished speaking, Jiang Shu grabbed her arm.
Gu Yu stopped laughing immediately and even panicked: "What...what are you going to do?"
"I'm a pervert, I just want to be beaten! But my dad isn't back yet, I have to beat you up first and collect some interest!"
"You dare!"
"Haha, is there anything in the world that I dare not do?"
"you……"
The next second, Gu Yu was pulled into Jiang Shu's room.
Gu Yu was completely stunned and started trembling after being pulled in.
Jiang Shu picked out a few books and placed them in front of her, and asked her to sit on the chair in front of the desk.
"Gu Yu, let me tell you, your 16 points and 8 points have nothing to do with me. I was just a little strict when grading the papers. Those scores are your real scores! You only got one multiple-choice question right in discrete mathematics. Tell me, is this normal? You didn't study hard at all!"
"I...I just don't understand. What you said is too profound."
“Why can others understand?”
"Because... everyone else scored over 700 points, and I'm just a piece of trash with over 500 points..."
"It has nothing to do with your grades! The scores you got on your midterm exams show that you are mentally ill. To be able to get over 500 points, is there something wrong with your brain?"
"I……"
Gu Yu couldn't answer.
Indeed, she shouldn't have gotten such a low score.
I'm only a freshman now, so the learning difficulty is not that high.
It’s just that she is more afraid of Jiang Shu.
She was tortured by Jiang Shu for three months before the college entrance examination, and she became timid when she saw Jiang Shu.
This guy is ruthless and just uses force.
If you don't know how to do it, you have to force yourself to learn it. If you can't do it well, he will start to mock you.
He could go half a month without repeating those cold words.
So after college, her brain was very resistant to Jiang Shudai’s two classes and she couldn’t understand a single word.
She was now looking forward to Uncle Liu Hansheng coming back quickly to beat Jiang Shu up.
Unfortunately, she was destined not to wait today.
"Now that I have time, just learn from me. If you have any questions, ask me!"
…
The only uninhabited villa in the village is usually used for meetings or banquets.
After all, there is not much furniture here, and there is no distinction between bedrooms and study rooms, so there is a lot of space that can be used.
When someone holds a wedding, they can set up more than ten or twenty tables to accommodate the entire village.
However, it is used as a meeting room today. Before, I was just playing at Gu Dongsheng's house, and my purpose was naturally to wait for someone.
Wen Yuxian, Guo Meng just came here.
57-year-old Yu Yue is still on the road.
After drinking tea and chatting for more than ten minutes, Yu Yue finally arrived.
Yu Yue’s changes from eighteen years ago are not that obvious. After all, he is rich and powerful now, so his mentality must be different.
He greeted everyone with a smile, then came to Li Yuan, handed him the things he was carrying, and said, "I went out to buy Hetian jade when I was free recently. They are all fine products. Only the boss deserves these things."
Li Yuan accepted it with a smile: "I don't have the power now, so I won't reimburse you. You will have to pay for whatever you spend in the future."
"Haha, it's only right that you spend money on your boss. If I die in the future, I will tell my son about your hobby and ask him to continue to send you gifts."
Yu Yue, who is in his fifties, remains the same when facing Li Yuan, who is in his forties.
We have been together for twenty-five years.
Everyone present, including Wen Yuxian, was envious, because the whole world knew that Li Yuan would not accept gifts from anyone else but Yu Yue.
Who here doesn’t want to give Li Yuan a gift?
She had no choice but to send Li Yuan the two children.
"Hold a meeting!"
Li Yuan said something and everyone immediately sat down.
Gu Dongsheng took the document and said first: "The main content of this meeting is the official launch of the third phase of overseas expansion. In the next ten years, we..."
Li Yuan was listening nearby. He had already decided on the general direction eighteen years ago. Now others understood the situation better than he did. After all, he seldom got involved in the work.
He is more of a mascot, and also the principle and bottom line of the entire team.
If he was gone, Gu Dongsheng would definitely not continue on his current path, and he would definitely use Nanshan Group to make more money.
To put it bluntly, many things can only continue because of his existence. If he is gone, who wouldn't want to have more money? Who wouldn't want to have more power? Why would you bother to help others without any benefit?
Human nature is selfish. Only Li Yuan can come up with plans that go against human nature. No one else can do it.
The global plan has been started a long time ago and the results are obvious.
Including cultural output and language output.
Of course, the most common thing is to take foreign land.
Over the years, Li Yuan has forgotten whether the value of the land they hold is in the billions or billions.
It should have exceeded one billion acres.
Because he had seen the data from four years ago, which was 700 million mu, equivalent to half of the total amount of farmland in China.
They use the money in their hands to open up their own market.
Global technology has reached a bottleneck, and there may not be a major breakthrough even in another twenty years. We have to survive in these twenty years, right?
They buy a lot of other people's land and give them the money they need.
With land, they can support their own seed companies, fertilizer companies, agricultural machinery companies, and logistics companies.
It’s nothing more than not making much money, and even losing money occasionally.
But a lot of money is running in our own system, so we are not afraid of losses.
At present, there are at least 300 trillion yuan of funds in operation in this system, and a loss of tens or twenty trillion yuan would not be noticeable.
This is a very healthy ecosystem.
Moreover, some are losing money, while others are making money, and the losses have not continued to expand.
This meeting lasted for more than four hours, so it is conceivable that by the time the meeting ended, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
During the meal, Gu Dongsheng sat over and said, "What did you say to our Gu Yu? She kept yelling that you owed her something."
Li Yuan: “…”
"It seems like I do owe it. Damn it, I was just attending a meeting with you guys and I missed something important! Give me the phone, I'll call Gu Yu."
Li Yuan can get the phone numbers of everyone in the village, but Gu Dongsheng and his friends don't let their children know his phone number, for fear that the children will harass Li Yuan.
After Li Yuan called Gu Yu, he said, "Gu Yu, it's me, Uncle Liu. I'm really sorry this time..."
Gu Yu on the phone burst into tears.
"Uncle Liu, Jiang Shu forced me!"
"Huh? That bastard dared to do such a thing? I'll pull him back now and break his legs!"
Gu Yu on the other side immediately stopped crying: "Did you really break your leg?"
"It's a must, otherwise how can I be worthy of you?"
"Well... actually there's no need to break his legs, just beat him."
"Isn't that too easy for him? I'm ready to call the police."
"Ahhh? No, no, no, he just forced me to study. There's no need to call the police... It's just that I really don't want to be in this school anymore. Uncle Liu, can you help me transfer to another school? I want to go to Sister Fan Shu's school..."
Zhou Fanshu's college entrance examination results were not particularly outstanding, and Li Yuan and Zhou Ranran did not give her any privileges, so she eventually went to Modu Finance.
Moreover, Zhou Fanshu was already engaged when he was eighteen years old. His fiancé was the great-grandson of Hong Dadu, one of the Thirteen Guardians, and his name was Hong Ruiting. The young couple stayed in the Magic City for three years and only came back during the winter and summer vacations. They never went back to the village on weekdays.
"Well... I may not be able to help you. I'm not as capable as your father. How about you talk to your father?"
"It would be great if my dad would agree... I really have no dignity left in the class. Jiang Shu doesn't give me any face at all."
"Well...it's actually very simple. If he doesn't give you face, then you don't have to give him face either. Go and expose his shortcomings. If you don't know his dirty laundry, I can give it to you. I know a lot."
Gu Yu: “…”
"Forget it, forget it. He has such a perfect image, he must be very fragile mentally. It would be bad if I embarrass him. I... I'm fine. Anyway, I've been thick-skinned since I was a child, so I'll just take it if I suffer a little..."
Li Yuan immediately said, "You are too wronged. No, no! We must defeat the evil Jiang Shu! You told me everything. I must be responsible for this matter to the end!"
"No, no, no, that... Uncle Liu, just pretend I didn't say anything. I'm doing well in school. Really well. I'm hanging up now..."
