Chapter 182: Livelihood and Economic Influence

After his gaze remained fixed on the report on his phone for a long time, Su Xin could not help but take a deep breath, struggling to calm himself down.

He had always known that Tianqi Group was very profitable, but ever since he delegated authority, he had not looked at the reports carefully, so only now did he realize that Tianqi Group was terrifying to such a degree.

Not to mention the terrifying annual profits and the influence of Tianqi Group itself.

The massive capital of over 800 billion Long Coins that Luan Weiliang operated alone could be called invincible as it swept across the global market.

Originally, at Su Xin's request, Luan Weiliang only focused on angel investment projects within Long Country, investing in startups with potential, helping them grow, and exchanging that for returns.

But Tianqi Group had far too much capital.

With over 800 billion Long Coins, the entire Long Country did not have enough suitable companies for them to invest in.

Therefore, after seeking Su Xin's approval, Luan Weiliang began to sweep across the globe with the excess capital.

On one hand, he constantly operated in the financial markets of various countries to earn profits for the group.

On the other hand, he used it to invest in and acquire shares of companies with potential or well-known large companies, or simply acquired certain companies, allowing the group's reach to extend into more industries.

As of now.

The enterprises Luan Weiliang had invested in globally included express logistics, film and entertainment, clothing, food, housing, and transportation, finance and insurance, energy and chemicals, mineral resources, real estate and property, and so on.

It was almost all-encompassing.

Today's Tianqi Group was no longer the simple technology company it once was, but a large international conglomerate inextricably linked to various industries.

It could be said that if Tianqi Group moved even slightly, it could potentially cause a global stock market earthquake, with various livelihood or technology enterprises fluctuating in its wake.

After pondering for a moment.

Su Xin looked back at the report on his phone.

The group was too profitable.

It was a good thing, but not entirely a good thing.

Because the speed of spending money was increasingly unable to keep up with the speed of earning it.

Through the report data, it could be seen that in the last two or three months, the frequency of the group's external investments had been too high and too dense; almost every two or three days, an investment project was finalized.

Currently, the group's Financial Management Department alone had 128 elite employees from the financial world, who were scattered all over the world, inspecting suitable projects, negotiating, and investing every day, busy to the point of exhaustion; they could often finalize an investment project in about ten days.

This efficiency was already quite high.

It was almost equivalent to scattering money externally.

Yet even so, there was still over 60 billion in capital in the Financial Management Department's dedicated external investment account at this moment.

Plus, the group would regularly transfer a portion of funds exceeding 100 billion into the investment account for external financial operations.

It left the Financial Management Department unable to finish scattering the money.

By the time Tianqi Group expanded further next year and profits increased significantly again, the total daily profit would approach 20 billion.

By that time.

If too much was accumulated on hand without being spent in time, it would likely affect the circulation of capital in society, subsequently leading to a series of chain social problems such as rising prices, market stagnation, reduced consumption, and currency devaluation.

Money must circulate to generate value.

Several trillion in capital was already enough to impact a country's economy and people's livelihoods.

When a company's scale reaches a certain level and its influence on society rises to a certain degree, the company and society are complementary.

Because at this point, the company's reach extends to every corner of society; while the company can have a great impact on society, society can also have a great reverse impact on the company.

Only when the general environment is good can the company be good.

If the general environment is bad, and the lives of users and merchants at all levels are difficult, or even if certain industries decline and many people become unemployed or go bankrupt, then the company will inevitably be affected.

The simplest example: if everyone has no money on hand, consumption will certainly be very cautious, and no matter how good the company's products are, sales will drop significantly.

Therefore.

Tianqi Group's profits are too high and must be spent, allowing the massive capital on hand to circulate normally and promote market prosperity.

In this way, with money in the hands of markets at all levels and consumers, the economy will be more vibrant, which is of great benefit to the country, to people's livelihoods, and to Tianqi Group.

This is a virtuous cycle.

Once a company develops to a certain scale, it must consider these major social issues.

Of course, spending money is spending money; it is not about actively reducing profits or giving money away randomly—that is not social responsibility, but stupidity.

Su Xin was pondering when he suddenly heard his mother calling, and only then realized they had arrived home.

After getting out of the car.

He greeted the enthusiastic fellow villagers, introduced Liu Xuewei's identity to everyone, and returned to the house amidst a chorus of congratulations and praise.

Su Zhengming was at home preparing a meal.

Hearing the noise, he hurried out to greet them.

"Son, you're back."

Su Zhengming was all smiles, looking at Su Xin, then at Liu Xuewei beside him.

"Hello, Uncle!"

Liu Xuewei greeted him hurriedly.

Su Xin immediately introduced, "Dad, this is my girlfriend, Liu Xuewei."

"Hello, hello, please sit!"

Su Zhengming greeted them enthusiastically.

"Dad, I didn't see you when I just got out of the station, I thought you were away on business and hadn't returned; why is it your turn to cook at home today?"

Su Xin glanced at the apron his father was wearing and teased with a smile:

"Today is Xuewei's first time visiting my home; with Dad's cooking, won't it be a bit of a slight?"

Su Zhengming reached out his hand, preparing to pat Su Xin on the shoulder, but seeing the obviously expensive high-end suit Su Xin was wearing, he retracted his hand, glared at his son, and said:

"How would my cooking be a slight? I've improved quite a bit during this time; I'll let you see for yourself in a moment."

Zhang Chunhua smiled and said, "Actually, I was the one who insisted on picking you up, so I left your dad at home to cook. Don't worry, your dad's cooking skills are actually quite good now."

"Then I'll have to see for myself."

As they spoke, the group sat down in the living room.

Liu Xuewei took an exquisite square gift box out of her bag and handed it to Su Zhengming.

"Uncle, this is my first time visiting, so please accept this small token of my appreciation."

"Good, good! Thank you!"

Su Zhengming wiped his hands on his apron over and over again before taking the gift box, his face beaming with a smile he couldn't suppress.

After chatting for a while longer.

Su Zhengming returned to the kitchen to continue cooking.

Su Xin took Liu Xuewei to tour the house, and once they were out of sight of Su Xin's parents, Liu Xuewei visibly let out a sigh of relief.

Su Xin couldn't help but chuckle: "What, were you still a bit nervous just now?"

"Of course I was nervous."

Liu Xuewei rolled her eyes at him, then sighed and said:

"After all, I'm six years older than you, and you're so outstanding. If your parents think I'm not good enough for you, I really wouldn't know what to do."
