Chapter 946: Father-Son Talk

Yang Qing revealed a reality to Yang Fan.

Without manufacturing industry, Yingjiang could not have achieved technological leap back then.

With manufacturing industry, especially advanced manufacturing, you don't need to ask; in the future many scientists will come to work for you.

This is the reality.

Yang Fan is not stupid; he quickly understood what Yang Qing wanted to express.

Imagine the reality.

Yang Fan soon verified the truth of this matter.

This is what they call winner-takes-all, right?

The significance of what he is doing now has been infinitely magnified, and he also feels the weight of the responsibility on his shoulders.

Yang Qihang felt the heaviness of the atmosphere.

"Dad, you wouldn't have already figured this out early, would you?"

"After EUV came out, we almost fully opened the Ren and Du Meridians."

"The new generation of Tianmen's IoT Crystal Element and computing modules are also about to be released."

"The intelligent Crystal Element that was just beaten and lost its bearings will also regain its dignity."

"Our reliance on others is getting smaller and smaller."

"The choice of those living comfortably and opposing us will likely soon face our full-scale competition."

"Under this mutual waxing and waning,"

"The opposing side's small team will become weaker and weaker in the foreseeable future."

"On the contrary, those cooperating with us will get better and better."

"We actually have the ability to turn stone into gold, bringing economic development to our partners."

"This used to be Yingjiang's patent; whoever relied on it got rich."

"Now we actually have this ability as well."

Yang Fan took a sip of tea.

"I feel this is the cause of industrial transfer."

"Although we haven't transferred industry, we have transferred equipment."

"Equipment represents productivity."

"The increase in productivity naturally lifted the economy."

"We sent out part of our productivity, but we did not abandon the productivity of any industry."

"I feel we also cannot abandon it."

"So we must control the pace, not let the opposing side directly compete with us."

"Moreover, we must selectively transfer equipment, so that no side forms a large-scale comprehensive industrial effect."

"Only if their industry is lopsided can they rely on us."

"We need to pay attention to this."

Yang Qing glanced at the world map.

He turned back and sighed.

"I fear there will be much chaos in the future."

"With our rise, someone will go crazy stirring trouble."

"You all pay attention, don't run around recklessly."

"Maybe that place will suddenly fall into chaos."

"Let those places with clear trends prepare for retreat, and as for assets, prepare to liquidate them at any time."

"Once there is a sign, leave immediately."

"This is the trend; we shouldn't get involved."

"This is not something we can play with."

Yang Fan and Yang Qihang didn't know why Yang Qing suddenly said these things.

Yang Qihang had just returned from outside, thought a bit, and noticed some abnormalities.

He nodded.

"I will specially set up an intelligence team to conduct specialized research on some abnormal places."

"Upon detecting a sign, immediately liquidate and withdraw."

Yang Qing thought a moment and added.

"If there is direct or indirect conflict between major powers, don't harbor any wishful thinking."

"Complete transfer."

"Transfer to safe places."

"If it is a minor force, prepare defenses."

"If we have absolute advantage, ensure safety within our sphere of influence."

"Sometimes, crisis is also opportunity."

"We must make good plans."

Yang Qihang nodded.

There is something else to do now.

The Yang family's tradition is to never let any crisis go to waste.

Every crisis, for the Yang family, is an opportunity.

I will make the arrangements.

Dad, part of Hidden Dragon has entered Dongyu Guo.

Should we rebuild our deterrent power in the local area?

Either directly or indirectly control.

The fraud matter is closely related to our departure.

Moreover, rebuilding our deterrence can also effectively deter any disloyal elements nearby.

The fundamental reason Dongyu gave up here is that there is no value.

The mountains are high and the forests dense, making economic development difficult.

Moreover, there is also an issue of lacking proper justification.

They are ultimately aiming to go out into the world; doing this would not be worth the loss.

So Yang Qing shook his head.

We shouldn't directly get involved.

Just building a base would suffice, or we could control things through an agent.

This is an internationally common method.

The base is also mainly for deterrence, to intimidate petty troublemakers, and not to take part in any factional struggles.

This place is simply hard to generate any value.

Hidden Dragon still needs to make a living; we can't keep doing this loss-making business.

We must not let Hidden Dragon directly make money; that would cause even greater trouble.

Separating business from mercenary work is a basic principle.

Yang Fan doesn't really understand these matters.

These places are indeed like chicken ribs—worthless.

However, if we don't solve their survival problems, there will likely be even more troublemakers.

After all, it's still an economic problem.

If we can unify the various regions and then develop some advantageous industries according to each area's specific conditions, we might be able to completely eradicate this scourge.

But we might have to deal with many forces.

Yang Qing waved his hand.

That's not something we should do, and we can't do it that way.

Moreover, the situation here is too complicated.

Too many forces are involved inside.

Not only would it be not worth the loss, but it would also bring endless future trouble.

Wait, wait until we become strong enough that these places tacitly accept becoming our sphere of influence, and others have no choice but to withdraw their hands; then it will naturally be peaceful.

We only do what we can accomplish; we don't act as the first to stick our neck out, we don't exceed our capabilities, and we don't do things that are not worth the loss.

As for Dongyu, compared to that, our other matters are more important.

Besides, this place is right at our doorstep; we fundamentally don't need to worry about it.

Actually, even if we don't intervene this time, someone else will step in.

It's just that it won't be as convenient without us doing it.

Yang Fan, after hearing Yang Qing's words, lost interest in this place.

Indeed, there is no future.

Yang Qing set the tone, and Yang Qihang naturally wouldn't do anything extra.

This time, Hidden Dragon's return is actually somewhat superfluous.

Really, there's hardly any business.

It would be better to set up Great Wall Security; that would be profitable.

However, returning also has its benefits; it is advantageous for Jingmen's infiltration of these worthless places.

Worthless is worthless, but being at the doorstep or retaining some influence is still good.

Otherwise, some riffraff would think they can get away with it.

They dare to come out and cause trouble.

They really think Jingmen can't control them.

Once they go out, Jingmen still needs to have some influence.

We can't let them run wild.

Otherwise, we'll lose face, and the loss will be everyone's.
