Chapter 1343 Too Much Money, Divorced
Yang Hao used to be a bit arrogant, but now he's completely convinced by Liu Meilan. "Yes, Meilan, we'll follow whatever you invest in!"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Don't trust me too much. Past success doesn't guarantee future success! Making money now doesn't mean you'll make money in the future!"
Chen Jing replied without hesitation, "I don't care whether I can make money in the future, I've made money before and I'm making money now. Your track record is verifiable, so I trust you!"
Liu Meilan smiled slightly, "Then are you interested in investing in some projects with high technological content?"
"Electric vehicles or solar power?" Chen Jing asked curiously, unable to guess what Liu Meilan's new project was.
Liu Meilan smiled and shook her head, "No, it's monocrystalline silicon, a semiconductor raw material! My third brother has a suitable place and technology, and our Sifangdao Investment Company is in charge. All we need now is funding! This investment is quite large and the cycle is relatively slow, but I can guarantee you that this will make money for the next 30 years or even longer. It's a project that can be invested in for the long term!"
If Chen Jing hadn't brought it up, Liu Meilan wouldn't have said anything. Now that Chen Jing and Chen Hao are coming over for the New Year, Liu Meilan can't very well refuse.
Hearing this, Chen Jing's eyes lit up. "A long investment cycle is fine, as long as it's profitable, I'll treat it as a long-term investment! With my current business, I can live a life of comfort, but my children might not. But if I can participate in this long-term project, my children can also benefit!"
Yang Hao stroked his chin. "During the Spring Festival, I heard my elders mention the semiconductor industry, saying that we've always been held back by technological bottlenecks. Could it be that we've made a breakthrough?"
Liu Meilan nodded, "We haven't broken through in the high-end yet, but we have in the low-end! Let's get the low-end up first, and then gradually upgrade as we gain more experience! Don't rush to make a decision, think it over carefully!"
The project was revitalized by the technology and equipment provided by my maternal great-uncle, the factory and skilled workers provided by the local government, the introduction of private capital, and the restructuring and improvement of the management of the original state-owned enterprise.
Chen Jing waved her hand, "I'll take it! No need to think about it anymore. When do we sign the contract?"
Seeing his wife taking on all the responsibility, Yang Hao smiled and nodded, "Our family listens to Chen Jing now. If she says to invest, I say to invest!"
"We'll have a meeting in March after the New Year, and we'll let you know then!" Liu Meilan replied. The main reason she was willing to bring Chen Jing and Yang Hao in was because these two only provided the money and never gave any unsolicited advice.
They only look at the financial statements, then monitor the finances, and wait for the dividends.
Because this isn't their area of expertise, giving unsolicited advice will only create more problems for the project. Having sensible partners is also an advantage.
They sat for a while before getting up to say goodbye.
Liu Meilan urged them to stay, saying, "Your sister-in-law has already gone back to her parents' home today, so there aren't many people at the old house. Why don't you stay for dinner, and let the children play together too?"
Chen Jing smiled and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Liu Meilan and Xu Huizhen cooked lunch, and Chen Jing came along too.
Fu Chen and Fu Heng returned from their stroll outside and chatted with Yang Hao.
Yang Hao was a businessman, eloquent, tactful, and humorous. Before long, the laughter of the three men could be heard.
Fu Heng patted Yang Hao on the shoulder, "Yang Hao, I really didn't expect you to actually walk the right path!"
Yang Hao scoffed, feigning a righteous air, "Being naughty as a child was just a matter of youthful ignorance! Now that I'm older, especially after having a son, I understand my father's feelings. I can rely on my father, my wife, and the businesses I run to live a stable life. If I'm unreliable, my son will probably suffer!"
Fu Heng nodded, his impression of Yang Hao even better. "That's the right way to think! I heard Zhang Yang got into trouble?"
Hearing this, Yang Hao sighed, "It's all because of money and women! The couple makes money and lives a carefree life, each doing their own thing, their hearts are not in sync, they both want to mess around outside, they both want to move the money out of the house, as if they will suffer if they are slow to do so! In the end, they fight and get divorced."
"It's hard to say who's right and who's wrong in matters between men and women! Anyway, deep-seated problems don't arise overnight. As a friend, I've tried to advise them and said what I wanted, but they didn't take it seriously! I'm not sad about their divorce, but I feel sorry for that child! His father doesn't love him, his mother doesn't want him, and now he's living with his grandparents! Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang live with their eldest son's family. That child has been living under someone else's roof since he was little, it's so hard!"
Fu Heng sighed, thankful that he married the person he loved, otherwise he couldn't imagine what his marriage would have been like. "Yes! When men and women divorce, it's always the children who suffer the most! When Huizhen and I got married, we agreed that either we wouldn't get married, or we would never get divorced!"
Fu Chen remained silent, offering no comment, and listened quietly.
Actually, that's what he thought too; he'd rather die than get a divorce.
Yang Hao smiled bitterly, "Given how much of a scoundrel I was before, I never even considered divorce! Especially after having a son, I was even less likely to divorce! When I made a lot of money, that woman outside wanted to have my child, and I refused without hesitation! Later, I thought about it, and realized that the woman with that kind of thought wasn't the first, nor would she be the last. For the sake of my son's future, I've settled down!"
"I visit the investment projects several times a year to take a look! In my spare time, I go fishing with a group of fishing buddies! Life is pretty good. In addition, I used to be good at fishing, but now I often feel like I have the will but not the strength, so I write down those random feelings."
If they were outside, Yang Hao would never have mentioned these things. But the Fu brothers had even seen him naked, so they probably already knew about these things, and there was no need to hide them.
Fu Chen nodded, "Actually, that's the right way to think! After you settled down, hasn't Chen Jing treated you even better?"
Yang Hao smiled and said, "That's right! Now my status at home is absolutely absolute! Chen Jing never argues with me about anything, big or small. Of course, I rarely argue with her either! We discuss things together and have a very good relationship. If I get drunk at night, Chen Jing wakes up several times to take care of me."
He wasn't ungrateful; Chen Jing shared a son with him, and he cared for her in their daily life. Even if there were beautiful women around, Yang Hao knew they were after his money, not him as a person.
Liu Meilan was very happy to see Chen Jing and Yang Hao getting along so well. However, in stark contrast to the Fu family's joy, the Liu family on Sanlian Island looked gloomy and distressed.
