Chapter 664 No Wonder They Say You Can Spend What You Earn

"Xiao Ye, from the looks of you two, you didn't expect grandpa to come to the lighthouse, right? What, you don't want to provide meals?"

Li Ye was thinking about it in his heart, but Li Zhongfa was in a good mood. After leaving the gate, he joked with Li Ye and Wen Leyu with a smile.

Wen Leyu quickly smiled and said, "No, no, we didn't understand it clearly in advance, so you gave us a surprise."

"Hahaha~"

Li Zhongfa laughed loudly, and then said to Wen Leyu, "After the Spring Festival, Xiao Ye's father and I went to Beijing to discuss your marriage with your parents!

As a result, your parents just said they wanted to come to see you, so I thought I would take advantage of it and come over to take a look and broaden my horizons."

"Oh, haha~"

Hearing Li Zhongfa talking about his marriage with Li Ye, Wen Leyu smiled shyly and retreated to Teacher Ke's side, still a little embarrassed.

Li Ye looked behind Li Zhongfa and asked, "Where's my dad? Why don't I see him?"

Li Zhongfa waved his hand and said, "He doesn't have a passport, so of course he can't come. I'm still taking advantage of you. I went to Nanyang and Japan several times as a consultant to the instant noodle factory, so I have the convenience of going abroad."

"Grandpa, you're not taking advantage of me. It's my natural filial piety to you."

"Aunt Ke, Uncle Wen, can we find a place to sit down first, and then do business?"

Li Ye took Li Zhongfa's luggage with a smile and discussed with Teacher Ke.

Because there were two entourages standing behind Wen Qingsheng, Li Ye guessed that he came to the lighthouse for "official business" and always had to say a few polite words.

Wen Qingsheng smiled and nodded, and said to the two people behind him, "Xiao Zhang, you go to the designated hotel first, and I will contact you later."

Xiao Zhang agreed with a smile, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Ye.

Li Ye wrote down a phone number and gave it to Xiao Zhang: "Call this number if there is an emergency."

"Okay, okay."

Xiao Zhang quickly agreed, then quickened his pace and left with his colleagues.

Those who could follow Wen Qingsheng here must be his confidants. When they heard what grandpa Li Zhongfa said, they knew that he wanted to discuss family affairs. They didn't ask or listen, and they just left as soon as possible.

Li Ye led Li Zhongfa, Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng out of the airport and walked to the two Bentleys.

One of the two cars was a four-door Bentley Mulsanne, and the other was a new generation of two-door Continental that had just been launched in 1982. It was brand new and very dazzling.

Although Li Zhongfa's expression remained unchanged, he glanced at Teacher Ke, then smiled and said, "Hey, Xiaoye, these two cars are good! Did you borrow them or buy them?"

Li Ye said honestly, "Grandpa, I bought them. Doing business in Dengta is all about appearance."

"That's not just Dengta, we also pay attention to appearance over there!"

Li Zhongfa laughed and asked, "These cars look good, they are worth 100,000 or 200,000, right?"

Li Ye smiled and nodded, "About the same! Two or three hundred thousand for two cars."

Li Zhongfa walked around the Mulsanne and nodded repeatedly, saying, "The cars in Dengta are really cheap. This car is 200,000, and it looks much better than Santana."

Li Ye and Wen Leyu both laughed and didn't respond.

But Fu Yiru stuck out her tongue, and the smile on her face couldn't be suppressed.

After all, she was young and her expression management ability was not in place.

Li Zhongfa blinked his eyes and looked at Fu Yiruo and said, "What's wrong, Xiaoruo, did they set an ambush for me?"

Fu Yiruo smiled and said, "No, no, Grandpa, when Li Ye bought these two cars, he also felt that they were worth it!"

Fu Yiruo's "Grandpa" made Li Zhongfa feel mixed emotions.

This is his own granddaughter!

. . . . . . . . . .

Li Ye picked up Mr. Ke and his wife and Grandpa Li Zhongfa and returned to their new home, which had been renamed LW Manor.

After entering the manor, Li Zhongfa was surprised by the surrounding scenery: "Is this a hotel?"

Li Ye shook his head slowly and said, "This is our home. I just moved here a few days ago."

Li Zhongfa nodded repeatedly and said, "Not bad, not bad, how much did it cost to buy this place?"

Li Ye swallowed and said, "We negotiated the price, less than two million US dollars."

"."

Li Zhongfa was stunned for a moment, and finally asked, "Then these two cars are also two or three hundred thousand US dollars? "

Li Ye nodded slowly, saying that Grandpa, you are really smart.

"Hiss~"

Li Zhongfa took a breath, and then said with a smile: "No wonder Xiaoyu's mother told me that you can spend as much as you can earn. It turns out that you spend money in tens of thousands, and in US dollars!"

Fu Yiru, who was driving, smiled secretly, because her mother Fu Guiru was also shocked by Li Ye's "pricing in US dollars" at the beginning.

After everyone arrived at the main house of the manor, Fu Yiru quietly slipped away.

The little girl was very smart. She knew that Li Zhongfa, Teacher Ke, and Wen Qingsheng came together, and they must have something to talk to Li Ye.

Wen Leyu blinked at Li Ye, as if asking: "Do I need to avoid it? "

Li Ye reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her into the small living room.

Crosstalk requires a supporting role! Li Ye must have a helper.

However, after entering the small living room, Teacher Ke and others did not immediately get to the point, but asked Li Ye and Wen Leyu about their thoughts and opinions after coming to the lighthouse.

After all, the two came here for internship, so they must have their own ideas.

Li Ye said simply: "Grandpa, Aunt Ke, Uncle Wen, and Wen Leyu and I believe that Lighthouse's mid- to low-end industries, and even mid-to-high-end industries, have begun to irreversibly shift outward.

The only one that can undertake these mid-to-high-end industries is our East Asian cultural circle. This is our opportunity and our test. "

"The center of the world now is a lighthouse, there is no doubt about it, but the center of the world thirty years from now will definitely be East Asia."

"."

Li Zhongfa and Wen Qingsheng were both stunned, because the conclusion Li Ye said seemed to be bragging.

However, Teacher Ke smiled and said to Li Ye: "Every time I chat with you, Xiaoye, I always hear some advanced and unique remarks. Can you explain to me today why it is our East Asia region?"

Li Ye explained: "When I talk about East Asia, I actually refer to the East Asian cultural circle, or the Confucian cultural circle, because there is a saying in our Confucian culture - Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives to constantly strengthen himself."

"After thousands of years of penetration, this sentence has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of us people. It inspires us to be like the sky, striving for self-improvement, perseverance, perseverance, and never stopping."

Li Ye's words are certainly not nonsense.

The population of East Asia, including China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, will carry the production end of a large number of high-tech industries in a few decades.

Although part of the high-tech research and development end is still in Europe and the United States, the production end mainly relies on East Asia.

Because East Asian culture really advocates "volume"!

The movement of heaven is strong, and a gentleman's constant self-improvement will keep you busy all the time!

The production of those high-tech industries relies on the high-end industrial population brought about by East Asia's involution culture!

People in East Asia have been taught since childhood to "get involved" and "get ahead". This population is fundamentally different from the G7 European and American population.

East Asians pursue collectivism, like to save money, are able to work, observe discipline, and obey management. They have a lot of cruel advantages.

Compared with the East Asian population, the European and American population values ​​freedom, pursues no work, likes to spend money, is incompatible with discipline, and is difficult to manage.

This kind of population is not naturally suitable for industrialization, right?

Of course, the populations of Southeast Asia, Latin America, and South Asia can also endure hardships, but their education cannot keep up, and their culture does not encourage learning or collectivism. This results in a slight lack of overall quality.

Therefore, Musk’s factories in other countries have been unable to operate for several years. TSMC has also been unable to operate for several years since it relocated its lighthouse.

But you said that "volume" is an advantage of East Asians? Or a weakness?

This is actually a very contradictory question.
