Chapter 515

Hearing this, Su Yang was really surprised. 20 million is a huge sum of money at present; even for a rich company, it would have to hold a board meeting to study and decide.

And this is not a field they are good at, but Xie Siyang can decide in one sentence, which is enough to show her status in their family.

"Okay, then you make this decision happily, and then go do whatever you want. In short, the development of Xiushui Mountain cannot be delayed for a moment; there is not much time left for me."

Xie Siyang said: "Don't worry, what I say is absolutely reliable! I'll call my dad right now."

After her voice fell, she took out her mobile phone and dialed a set of phone numbers directly. It only rang once, and the other side answered.

Before the other side could speak, she said directly: "Dad, regarding the development of the Xiushui Mountain Scenic Area that I told you about last time, I have decided to invest 20 million. According to the current plan, 20 million should be the initial investment, which can account for about 20% of the shares."

"However, this money may not be enough; prepare about 25 million in total. I will give you an account number for the first batch of funds within three days, and you transfer it over."

Old Xie on the other side laughed when he heard it: "Okay, I told you long ago to do business at home, but you ran to work; isn't this returning to business? Why are you going around in circles?"

Then he said: "Okay, then I will prepare 25 million. This investment will be counted as your personal investment; whether you earn or lose in the future is your own business. If you really lose, then lose your dowry."

Xie Siyang said: "Then I won't talk to you anymore; it's settled. I'll talk to you in detail when I go back on the weekend."

After speaking, she hung up the phone directly, without any dragging of feet. This efficient and resolute style really made Su Yang give a thumbs up.

After Old Xie on the other side hung up the phone, he picked up a roasted cigar, lit it, took a puff, and his mouth twitched as he said: "25 million, not a small number. This silly child still has no clear concept until now, thinking that our money was blown by a strong wind."

The middle-aged woman who was well-maintained beside him said: "I say you just spoil the child like this. You spoil her and pet her like this now; what should you do in the future? This family business will be ruined by her sooner or later."

"She is doing industries that we are completely not good at. Does cross-industry investment really not need to consult relevant industry insiders? If this really loses, it will be a not-so-small loss."

"Although our cash flow is still sufficient now, you also said before that in our line of work, we must always prepare enough cash to prevent emergencies. And aren't you planning to open two more pharmaceutical factories in other provinces? If this money is drawn out, what will be used to open the pharmaceutical factories?"

Old Xie said: "People always say that long hair means short knowledge. I have always felt that this sentence is not suitable for you, because you have always been a very far-sighted person; why are you suddenly confused about this matter? Do you know what the core of investment is?"

The woman was a little displeased by these words: "What? Are you lecturing me? You must explain it clearly to me today, otherwise I won't spare you."

Old Xie said: "The core of investment is not the quality of the business itself, but connections. Especially under the system of our country, how big is your business considered big?"

"Don't look at how glorious we are now, and there are quite a few leaders in the province who give face, but these are all fake. If there really is that day, and we cannot give people benefits, then don't talk about a provincial-ministerial level cadre; even a division-level, or even a section-level cadre can pinch us."

"Do you remember the sentence I once told you from a section-level Industry and Commerce Bureau Chief? He said he had no way to make an enterprise big and strong, but he had 100 ways to make an enterprise close down."

"This is not a joke at all. What is power? Power is a piece of A4 paper; whatever is written on it is decided by others."

"Let me give you a simple example: people say our pharmaceutical factory causes pollution, and then they come to rectify you every three or five days, come to inspect you every three or five days, and fine you every three or five days. Think about it, if we really reach this situation, the loss at that time will probably be irreparable."

The middle-aged woman still didn't quite understand, and she asked: "But what does this have to do with investing in the Xiushui Mountain Scenic Area? And is our relationship in the province now not as good as in the township?"

Old Xie smiled and said: "Some things are at a strategic level. We must not only look at the present, but also at the future. Just from the present, our relationship in the province is enough, but the energy of these people is limited, and given their age, it is impossible to go further up. After they retire, their influence will gradually decline."

"And it is very difficult for those people below to grow up now, which is equivalent to us having to re-lay connections. This is a very energy-consuming and money-consuming thing. The key is that sometimes you invest huge energy or property, but you may not get a return."

"I decided to invest in the Xiushui Mountain Scenic Area; I don't care at all whether this scenic area can make money or when it can return the capital. I just want to bind our daughter and Su Yang together."

"I only mentioned Su Yang before, and you don't know much about him. He is now just a deputy director of the Poverty Alleviation Office and a Township Party Committee Secretary; it doesn't sound like much, but you must know who is standing behind him? I only found out a few days ago that he is the son-in-law of Governor Zhou of Jiangnan Province."

"Governor Zhou values him very much. Do you know that Governor Zhou is only in his early 50s now? His future is almost placed on the table. If we go to walk his path and relationship now, it won't work at all, and people don't bother to deal with businessmen like us."

"And I also asked someone to inquire; he is a proper Jingcheng person, doesn't care about any connection with businessmen at all, and doesn't care about those small gains. So I plan to bet on Su Yang."

"He is a 25-year-old cadre with actual power at the section level, and this person is very upright and doesn't bother with corruption, bribery, or greed for money and lust at all. This is also the reason why Governor Zhou can take a fancy to him."

"A 25-year-old cadre with actual power at the section level, plus such a strong backing as Governor Zhou, I estimate that he will definitely be able to reach a bureau-level position at the age of 30. Of course, I don't think about getting any benefits from him; it's just that he can help or say a word at a critical moment, and that is enough."

"This is the fundamental reason why I let my daughter go directly to the Poverty Alleviation Office as soon as I heard that Su Yang was going to be the deputy director of the Poverty Alleviation Office. To sum up, there is no risk, and it is very reliable."

"Whether we can become big and strong and create brilliance again in the future depends entirely on how far Su Yang can go. So now do you think it is a loss to spend 20 million or so to invest in a scenic area that has a high probability of returning the capital?"
