"Dad, I think it's the safest choice to focus on the hydropower business that we are good at. Globally, the entire photovoltaic industry chain has entered an explosive period. It's not a good time for us to get involved. The competition is too big." She had no intention of taking over the family business, but her family was in this business, so it didn't stop her from paying attention to it.
Chen Youli grinned. "After a few years of experience, you'll understand what it means to live off the government and do a money-burning business."
"Dad, I'll study hard." She wouldn't look down on her father just because he was uneducated. Her father's life experience was more than what she had learned in books.
Chen Youli said seriously, "When the business is handed over to you, I won't interfere. It's better if you make a profit. Even if you lose, that's the path you chose. You have to accept it. If you lose, you have to accept it. Don't complain. We're not afraid of falling down.
But I only ask one thing from you. "
"Tell me. I'm listening." Chen Faqi rarely saw her father so serious, especially in front of her.
Chen Youli said, "Your father can't be considered a good person. Everyone says that I'm not a good person, so naturally, I don't have a good reputation.
But there's one thing that others can't say. That is, your father has a good reputation. I've never gone back on my word when I've promised others. Even my competitors have never picked on me in this aspect.
No matter what industry you're in, you have to rely on your face and reputation. If your reputation is ruined once, you can say goodbye to the industry.
As long as you keep your word, with a phone call, tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even billions will be in your hands. People will dare to lend you money.
For example, your Uncle Li He. He started his business earlier than me and is more capable than me. He shouldn't be interested in people like me. But in the end, with a phone call from your father, he didn't even frown when he borrowed billions.
This is the charm of sincerity and honesty. This is also the most precious thing we've always held onto.
This is also one of the reasons why I don't dare to hand over the business to your brother. He's too arrogant and not practical at all. If this kind of person could do business, there would be no poor people in this world. "
"I understand this logic." Thinking of his brother's shameless behavior, Chen Faqi believed his father's judgment more and more. His brother was indeed not suitable to take over the family business. He would only make a mess of everything.
"I'll slowly teach you about business in the future. After you graduate and enter the company, I'll let your Uncle Daoming take care of you first," Chen Youli said lightly. "A new official will make a clean sweep. Use some tricks to see who's an enemy and who's a friend. Enemies must be driven away, and friends will eventually form their own team.
As for those who don't have feelings for you, make them scram. There's no need to be polite. "
"Dad, what if it's those old people who have been with you for many years?" Chen Faqi couldn't help but ask.
Chen Youli asked, "Have you ever heard of the saying, 'Ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains, ten thousand miles of dust, a new ruler, a new court of ministers'?"
"I think it's from The Peony Pavilion." She knew that her father didn't read much, but he liked to listen to storytelling. Every day, no matter how busy he was, he would listen to storytelling for half an hour or even an hour so that he could learn from history.
"What Peony Pavilion? Dan Tianfang said so! " Chen Youli lectured, "In ancient China, not recognizing the legitimacy of the emperor was considered a crime of treason, punishable by execution."
"I understand what you mean." Chen Faqi didn't correct his father's mistake. Although his father couldn't tell the difference between a storyteller and an original author, it didn't matter.
Chen Youli nodded. "It's good that you understand. No matter how capable and smart these people are, if they don't listen, why do you keep them?
If they're not satisfied, you can dismiss them as you see fit. If anything happens, I'll cover for you. "
"Thank you, Dad."
Chen Youli said with a doting expression, "Silly girl, I'm your father. Whatever I do, it's my duty. Don't say thank you. Alright, it's getting late. Go to bed and wake up early tomorrow.
Oh, it's past time. Tonight, Yuan Kuocheng will be talking about The Long March of the Year Five … "
Without waiting for his daughter's response, he hurriedly got into the elevator and went back to his room.
The next morning, after breakfast, the father and daughter hurried to Li Village.
"Uncle Li lives here?" Chen Faqi looked at the Li Family's house in disbelief. The Li Family's conditions were so simple.
Chen Youli sighed. "What do you know? If it wasn't for the convenience of your mother's treatment, I'd like to go back to the countryside and buy a few houses like this. I'd keep two dogs at home, build a greenhouse in front of the door, and grow some green onions, cucumbers, cabbages, tomatoes, kidney beans. That would be a heavenly life."
Looking at the old hens scurrying at the door, she smiled and said, "Uncle Li has so many chickens at home."
However, as soon as she got out of the car and stepped on the ground, she had a bad feeling. She raised her foot in fear.
"Oh, my dear niece has won the lottery." Li He looked at the puddle on the ground and laughed.
"Hello, Uncle Li." Chen Faqi was so disgusted that he wanted to cry.
Chen Youli smiled. "What are you spacing out for? There's a haystack over there. Hurry up and clean it up."
Then, he said to Li He, "You don't need to mention how delicate children these days are."
"Come in." Li He welcomed him in and moved a stool over. "Sit at the door. It's sunny and warm."
"Okay." Chen Youli looked around the house. "This place is good. It's good for people."
Li Ke came out of the house and greeted Chen Youli. Then, he ran to Chen Faqi and handed her a brush and a pair of slippers. "Take off your shoes and brush them. Just brush the base."
Chen Faqi didn't expect to be so embarrassed. She said shyly, "It's okay. It's fine."
Li Ke asked, "Shall I brush it for you?"
"No, I'll do it myself." Chen Faqi took off her boots and changed into slippers.
"The chickens here are all raised by my grandmother. The old lady likes them and can't bear to keep them in cages. Every day, they run all over the ground and cause trouble at the door. I can't get rid of them. Sometimes, they even jump on the stove to shit. It's disgusting. "Li Ke helped her fill the well with water and explained," I have to follow behind and sweep the ground several times every day. "
"Thank you, Sister Li Ke. I'm done." Chen Faqi put on her shoes again.
Li Ke took the slippers and brush and placed them on the windowsill outside. Then, she went back to the house and pulled out a hose. She turned on the electric switch and took the water gun and sprayed it against the cement floor outside.
Chen Faqi had good eyesight. She endured her disgust and took the broom to sweep the place where the water gun had sprayed.
