Chapter 1018 Secretly Inquiring
Liu Yiwen was stunned. "Uncle Wang, do you also value the Internet?"
Director Wang replied, "Of course I do. I also value upstream internet software and hardware, as well as even more upstream semiconductors and related materials, and top-level lithography technology. However, these days, it's often better to buy than to make. Many people don't want to spend money on research and development and only want to buy from abroad."
"We are lagging behind other countries, so they will sell to us. These high-value-added items can be exchanged for our low-value-added products, which can buy a lot. When we develop in the future, of course we will not just want to drink the soup and eat the meat. But if we try to take the meat from the tiger's mouth, the other party will use all kinds of means to make things difficult for us."
Liu Yiwen gave a thumbs-up and looked at Director Wang in astonishment. "Uncle Wang, you really are like this! My sister also mentioned this issue when we were chatting privately. We donate so much money every year, and the reason is that we hope to have some technical reserves so that we won't be strangled by others in the future and have no means to fight back."
Director Wang's eyes gleamed, "Meilan said the same thing?"
Liu Yiwen nodded. "Yes, we will increase investment and research and develop technology in the future. It's too early to say that now, but it's better to be prepared than not. After all, an industry can't be built in a day, so we have to work on it step by step."
Director Wang nodded. "Okay, if you have any promising projects in this area, please tell me about them. Our unit is also looking into some long-term projects."
Liu Yiwen nodded, "Okay!"
After chatting for a long time, Liu Yiwen said goodbye and left.
Director Wang sighed that Liu Yiwen was already very outstanding, and Liu Zhengtao also had such an outstanding daughter, Liu Meilan.
Anyway, it should be no problem for him to invest in any projects Liu Meilan invests in in the future.
I remember that the two families had joked about getting married. His wife looked down on Liu Yuxin at first. In fact, even Liu Yuxin at that time might not have been able to marry Liu Meilan, let alone the current Liu Meilan.
Liu Meilan was indeed very capable, as she was able to pick a member of the Fu family in the capital.
This time the Liu family was able to achieve great success without being targeted, and the Fu family played a great role.
Many people wonder why making great contributions is not always a good thing.
There's a saying that goes, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." People who are too outstanding are also easily envied because their brilliance is so strong that it overshadows others.
Now the Liu family can securely obtain the credit for their meritorious service and land safely, which requires superb political means.
Although this is somewhat inconsistent with people's simple values, it is the fact.
After Liu Yiwen sold his underwater salvage company, the matter came to a successful conclusion.
On Sanlian Island, Yang Hao, Zhang Yang, Zhao Yong and Cao Jin came again.
This time they came not to go directly to Liu Meilan, but to find Qian Kun.
Qian Kun treated him with delicious food and drinks, "Don't be polite, just treat it like your own home."
This is true. These people have invested money and are considered our own.
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Qian Kun, your place has changed a lot since the last time we came. Will it be operational next year?"
Qian Kun nodded. "Yes, it should be ready by May Day next year. I usually spend my free time thinking about how to make this place better. How can I not do it quickly? I can't let your money go to waste, and I can't let my business, which has been turning around, suffer any accidents."
Cao Jin smiled and said, "Qian Kun, don't you feel bored staying here every day?"
Qian Kun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I really wasn't used to it at first, but for the sake of my life, I had to endure it. Later, after I stopped the killer here, I realized the advantages of this place and gradually fell in love with it. As it became more and more beautiful, I also regarded it as home."
The other three people looked at Yang Hao, hoping that Yang Hao would speak first.
Yang Hao touched his nose and said, "Qian Kun, don't you have any intention of targeting that underwater salvage company?"
Qian Kun was stunned. "Undersea salvage company? Do you really think it's that easy to salvage a shipwreck? Are you sure that whatever you salvage will be gold?"
"Hahaha!" Yang Hao smiled awkwardly, "Haven't I heard there's a lot of gold on the seabed? Liu Meilan's second brother's salvage company is really powerful now..."
Qian Kun didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, then shook his head firmly. "You're oversimplifying the problem. Everyone knows that old ships were not strong and many would sink in bad weather. But look, since so many people know that Liu Yiwen is making money, why hasn't anyone set up a new salvage company?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "We've thought about this, haven't we? It's not just us, there are many others who do. It's just that we're embarrassed to ask the Liu family. After all, no one wants to leave the opportunity to make a fortune to others."
Qian Kun pointed at himself and said, "Even if the Liu family has something that records the location of the shipwreck, do you think they will give it to me? Do they think Liu Meilan is a fool, or do they think Fu Chen is a fool? Besides, don't just be jealous of what others have salvaged. Do you know how much it cost? You rashly invested tens of millions and threw it into the sea, and you won't even hear a splash."
Yang Hao smiled bitterly, "I told you this wouldn't work."
Qian Kun added, "Also, judging by my cautious attitude towards the Liu family, even you are jealous and want to set up a salvage company to share in the pie. I am sure that the Liu family's salvage company will be deregistered soon."
"Huh?" Yang Hao was stunned. "Why? That would make more money."
Qian Kun smiled, "There are too many people watching. As the saying goes, you don't have to worry about thieves stealing, but you have to worry about thieves thinking about it. There are too many thieves like you. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the sunken ship cannot be found."
Zhang Yang was puzzled, "How come I can't find it all of a sudden?"
Qian Kun smiled. "If you can't find it, then you can't find it. Can you still tie up the Liu family and torture them? I advise you not to get involved in this business. First, there's no guarantee of making money. Second, if you were to fish out that much gold within our territorial waters, would you hand it over?"
Yang Hao and the others looked at each other and shook their heads, "Not necessarily."
Zhang Yang swallowed hard, "That's hundreds of tons of gold! I have a cousin who's in the precious metals mining industry. He said that's equivalent to three or four years of national gold production. No one would be willing to part with it."
Qian Kun looked towards Sifang Island and spread his hands. "Isn't the result here? The Liu family handed it over, and even assisted the country in completing some cultural relic exchange tasks. If you had been reluctant to hand it over, then the charge of embezzling state property would have been enough to land you in jail for the rest of your life."
Cao Jin chuckled and said, "If there really were that much gold, I guess many people wouldn't want to part with it and might choose to flee the country."
"Naive!" Qian Kun, who had spent some time abroad and studied there for a long time, understood the survival logic there. "If you didn't have so much gold, you might still be alive. But once people knew you had so much gold, you would soon become a corpse in a cement block. Do you really think everyone abroad is a good person? If they were, they wouldn't be colonizing the world."
