Tao Liangchen
Chapter 1043 This Is a Great Career
Sorting through the massive amounts of information to find attackable weaknesses and deduce how to manipulate things to further exacerbate the subprime mortgage crisis was no small task.
Su Yehao deeply trusted Zheng Yongwen and Feng Tiancai, so he continued doing what he did best—being a hands-off boss.
He had his assistant, Zhuang Wei, personally handle communication with the team while he took Yin Liuli and her daughter to the desert in the Great Northwest to visit the newly built cultural tourism resort.
It was just a two-day weekend getaway.
They drove around the desert during the day and even bought a whole roasted lamb, which left them so full that evening they had to stroll through the night market next to the amusement park to digest.
Just then, they passed a group of young women dressed in elaborate ancient costumes, and Yin Liuli exclaimed, "The local area is very distinctive. I thought it would be like any other amusement park. Their outfits look very intricate. Otherwise, I would want to try it. I reckon just doing the makeup and hair would take an hour."
Su Yehao told her:
"Those are Flying Apsaras. They are all carefully selected beautiful employees. About three or four years ago, some planners said the resort was all the same and lacked thematic features. Later, they came up with the concept of returning to the age of mythology, and they invested in building a batch of resort areas, such as the Gonggong Water World and the Classic of Mountains and Seas Amusement Park. It's actually just old wine in new bottles. When economic development reaches a certain level, the cultural industry still has quite a market."
Wandering around the night market, some stalls were filled with various cultural and creative products. They took murals drawn by ancient people, improved them, and printed them on T-shirts, cups, and other merchandise. There were also notebooks and calendars.
Through the channels of Ken豪 Tourism, it attracted many domestic and foreign tourists. In this desert town built with a lot of money, any casual snapshot was a scenic picture.
Yin Liuli was in a good mood. After buying candied hawthorns for her daughter, she said:
"There are so many scenic spots in the mainland. Snowy mountains, hills, grasslands, deserts, you name it. All it needs now is investors to come and develop the tourist attractions."
"Things have been changing pretty fast in recent years. Capital is pouring in. In a few years, the market will be saturated, and everyone's profits will decline. When the economy develops to a certain point, the advantages of labor and resource-intensive enterprises will quickly disappear. To accommodate a market that can bear so much labor, we need to focus on developing the tertiary industry. This will be the focus of the next stage of development."
Su Yehao bought a green mung bean popsicle. Eating this in the dead of winter was simply bone-chilling.
He added:
"Things like hotpot restaurants, chain malls, and cinemas have been developing especially fast in the last two or three years. Coupled with some industries with core competitiveness, our family's business is already solid enough, and it still has growth potential."
Yin Liuli was still in charge of the family foundation's charitable work.
Earlier that day, she had driven to visit a patch of Haloxylon ammodendron trees. The initial total of 3,300 mu (approximately 543 acres) was donated by Su Yehao's family foundation.
Nongfu Three Fists Water Factory had successfully acquired Want Want. At her suggestion, under the guise of protecting the environment and vigorously developing economic crops, they launched a sea buckthorn juice drink.
This kind of crop from arid regions is rich in vitamins, which is not only healthy but also increases the income of poor areas.
Combined with the logistics channels of TaoBao and Red Panda online shopping mall, it also helped sell fruits and agricultural products from all over the country to all parts of the country.
At this moment, they encountered a stall selling durians. Perhaps because business wasn't very good, the auntie was already busy packing up.
Su Yehao supported the other party's business and picked one to be opened on the spot. It had a lot of flesh inside.
On the way back to the hotel, he said to Yin Liuli:
"I thought of another good business. You can pick some suitable places and try to get people to plant foreign cherry varieties and durians on a large scale. These two kinds of fruits are relatively expensive, and the seedlings take a long time to cultivate. With the current economic growth rate, I believe they will become popular in a few years. It's not that people don't like to eat them now, it's just that the price is a bit high."
Yin Liuli nodded and carefully noted this.
Over the years, she had long been accustomed to listening to Su Yehao's arrangements, such as Internet crowdfunding and advocating for a fishing ban in the Yangtze River, which had all proven him right.
A few months ago, with the efforts of the family's charitable foundation, a fishing and angling ban was implemented in the 100-kilometer river section upstream and downstream of the Jiang豚 (Yangtze finless porpoise) hometown, and now there are more than 100 Jiang豚 living there.
Drawing inferences from one instance, Yin Liuli said:
"Delicious fruits are often cultivated, and the market scale is very large. Now the logistics speed is very fast, so we can find more suitable varieties. Oh, right, there is another thing I forgot to tell you. I want to increase the publicity investment in animal protection. People suggested that I should promote legal education and find some typical examples."
Su Yehao calmly replied:
"Our own Internet company doesn't cost money to place advertisements. Remind me to say hello at that time. As for the popularization of law, I will ask the Four Nine City (Beijing) for help and ask someone to help."
His daughter, Su Leyao, was already in the third grade of elementary school. At this time, she was energetic and asked, "Daddy, I also want to plant trees and rescue small animals everywhere like Mommy in the future. Liang Zi in our class is very hateful. He said he had eaten wild pheasant and kept a beautiful feather."
Smiling and stroking his daughter's head, Su Yehao said:
"Sure, that's a great career. But artificially raised pheasants can be eaten, whether they are braised with edamame or stewed in soup, they are very delicious. We buy pheasants to support the business of the farmers. I'll take you to eat more next time."
The little girl drooled and nodded on the spot.
With the family's financial conditions, it's indeed difficult to care about some trivial daily matters, and life is difficult to be down-to-earth.
Investing in some businesses can affect the development of the entire industry, and arranging some charitable undertakings can also have a huge impact.
Growing up in such an environment, Su Yehao's children will be influenced more or less.
It is the age to shape their values.
He took his daughter's hand and continued:
"You are the older sister. Remember that compared to continuing to earn more money, or making the business bigger, I hope that our family's wealth can achieve sound development. Use the wealth of the family foundation in places where it is really needed."
The little girl nodded and said, "I have older brothers and younger siblings, but I haven't met them. Mommy said that Daddy, you are too popular, so you are so busy."
Smiling awkwardly, Su Yehao looked at Yin Liuli and explained, "Some things were not spoken at first, and then it became difficult to open your mouth later. There will be opportunities in the future."
Yin Liuli reached out and tapped her daughter's forehead, shaking her head and saying:
"I don't have any extra thoughts. She is just curious. Any random search online will show you news about you. She likes to watch it everywhere by herself. I can't stop her..."
