Chapter 382: Big Brother's Charisma

"Classmate, may I ask what other beverage you need?"

"No, thank you!"

"Classmate, do you need a blanket?"

"I'm not cold, thank you!"

"Classmate, our plane is about to land, it might be a bit bumpy, please fasten your seatbelt. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you can call me."

"Okay, okay, thank you!"

Li Ye had turned down the kindness of this beautiful flight attendant seven times, finally making it to the plane's landing at Yangcheng Airport.

Shuo Ye's "Flight Attendant" was published in early 1984. When reading this book in his previous life, he was incredibly envious of the protagonist, feeling that having a flight attendant girlfriend was truly a blessing from eight lifetimes.

And when he read to the end, Li Ye and his friends really wanted to drag the male protagonist out of the book and beat him up. If it weren't for the male protagonist's affectation, that elf-like girl might not have died.

But when he sat on a plane for the first time in this life, Li Ye felt that the flight attendants of the early 80s were not as lively and cute as in Shuo Ye's book.

Although the service was very attentive, they still had the seriousness and reserve of service personnel of that era.

But it had only been less than two years, and the era seemed to have changed.

The girls on the plane were obviously more fashionable and beautiful than before, and also more cheerful and decisive. For example, this beautiful girl he met today actually dared to take the initiative to "flirt" with a handsome guy like Li Ye.

Of course, the reforms of the Civil Aviation Administration of China in the early 80s might also be a catalyst for this change. In 1984, the Civil Aviation Administration underwent restructuring, splitting its business departments, which led to the later four major airlines.

And the flight attendants, who previously only received a dozen yuan in subsidies, suddenly became one of the most fashionable professions of the 80s and 90s.

After having money, of course, they became more confident.

"Welcome to fly with our airline again, wish you a pleasant journey..."

When getting off the plane, the young girl even helped Li Ye take his luggage from the overhead bin and handed him a note.

"Passing notes" was talked about a lot in his previous life, but Li Ye saw that there was not a trace of anything bad in the girl's eyes; instead, they were full of nervousness, anxiety, and a longing for a dreamlike romance.

Li Ye had seen this kind of look before; it was when QQ first appeared in his previous life, and one of his junior sisters would often show this look at the computer.

Why was Shuo Ye's book so popular? Because everyone was longing for "love" now, not like many years later, when everyone was longing for cars, houses, and money.

Can you drive a Ferrari with one hand? If you can, it's almost equivalent to love.

QQ friends? Isn't that a collection book for "good guy cards"?

Li Ye nodded at the girl and got off the plane, then squeezed the note and looked for a trash can.

He was a man with a family and principles, so it was destined that the flowers had feelings but the water had no intention.

However, just as Li Ye was about to reach the trash can, a man in a suit walked up to Li Ye and smiled in a low voice: "Buddy, if you don't need that note, give it to me! Don't waste it."

Li Ye glanced at him coldly and said: "There seems to be something on your face, go look in the mirror."

The man in the suit touched his face and asked puzzledly: "Something? What's on it?"

Li Ye put the note into his wallet and said lightly: "There's a toad."

This person had been sitting behind Li Ye just now. When the little girl came over to care for Li Ye, he also requested the same treatment, but naturally, he was met with a roll of the eyes.

Whether now or forty years later, appearance is a plus for love. Otherwise, why would appearance still be ranked after annual salary of 300,000, house with no mortgage, and full salary handed over... in the blind date conditions of those girls?

But now it seems the man in the suit had no self-awareness at all.

"Damn, you silver-tipped spearhead, are you looking for death?"

By the time the man in the suit reacted, Li Ye had already walked far away. He angrily quickened his pace to catch up, wanting to find trouble with Li Ye.

But when they reached the exit, the man in the suit retreated.

Because there were two women, one big and one small, waiting for Li Ye at the exit, and the middle-aged woman's eyes just swept over casually, making him feel timid.

"What kind of person! What character!"

Hearing Fu Guiru watched the man in the suit walk past before turning back to ask Li Ye: "What's the matter with this person? Did you have a conflict?"

Li Ye shook his head: "Came on the same flight, don't know him. Mom, can you not be so nervous all the time? It's not the era of catching spies anymore, don't look at everyone like they aren't good people."

Hearing Fu Guiru glanced at Li Ye: "Mom's eyes might not be able to catch spies, but they can avoid danger. It hasn't been verified just once or twice over these years."

Li Ye walked out of the airport with Hearing Fu Guiru and Fu Yiruo, curling his lips and laughing: "Yes, yes, Mom, you're the most amazing. Even Grandpa is seen as dangerous by you. Why are you so afraid of him?"

Hearing Fu Guiru shook her head, led Li Ye into her car, and then sighed: "I'm not afraid of your grandpa, I just feel a bit guilty."

It turned out that Li Ye had received an "emergency call for help" from Hearing Fu Guiru this time because the Qingshuihe Food Company had finally sent a request to visit the Pengcheng Pengcheng Hongniu.

Could Hearing Fu Guiru refuse that?

But seeing that the day Li Zhongfa would arrive in Pengcheng was getting closer, Hearing Fu Guiru felt extremely guilty, so she had to urgently summon her son to act as her reinforcements, so as not to be embarrassed when meeting Li Zhongfa.

That was why Li Ye could buy a plane ticket and get on the plane in the name of a joint venture company; otherwise, one would need a unit introduction letter from a county-level cadre to be qualified to take a plane!

Because there was no airport in Pengcheng in 1984, Hearing Fu Guiru had to drive from Pengcheng to Yangcheng Airport to pick up Li Ye, so the three of them had to drive from Yangcheng to Pengcheng.

"Brother, take me to the capital when you leave! I'm almost bored to death in Pengcheng."

"I was supposed to return to the capital a few days ago, but Mom said it wasn't safe for me to travel alone, really..."

"Does sister-in-law miss me? I miss her so much. We agreed to go to Xiangshan to see the red leaves in autumn..."

On the road, Fu Yiruo chatted happily with Li Ye, causing Hearing Fu Guiru, who was driving in the front row, to observe from the rearview mirror several times, and the smile on the corner of her mouth almost never disappeared.

Although Hearing Fu Guiru was very anxious because she was about to see Li Zhongfa, she no longer regretted returning to the mainland from Malaysia to develop.

Not to mention the explosive popularity of Pengcheng Pengcheng Hongniu, just this sibling affection between Fu Yiruo and Li Ye was worth her "taking a risk."

And judging from the situation in the past few months, it seemed that no one had come to check Hearing Fu Guiru's previous identity. Everyone was very enthusiastic and welcoming to her, which was a world of difference from Hearing Fu Guiru's encounter in the mainland decades ago.

Two hours later, Hearing Fu Guiru arrived in Pengcheng by car.

The place where she lived was not far from the Pengcheng Pengcheng Hongniu factory, and she could see the tower cranes being assembled and erected over there through the window.

Li Ye asked: "Is that our construction site?"

Hearing Fu Guiru said: "Yes, this is our second-phase expansion project. I didn't think it would start so quickly, but the market demand for Pengcheng Pengcheng Hongniu is too great."

"Fortunately, you had vision back then, otherwise the land nearby wouldn't be easy to buy. Recently, the piece of land west of our factory was bought by a Japanese enterprise, and the price rose by 30% compared to half a year ago..."

Li Ye smiled and said: "30% is little. In a few years, 300% won't be enough!"

When Pengcheng Pengcheng Hongniu was choosing a site to build the factory, Li Ye acted arbitrarily and took down enough land for future expansion. At that time, Hearing Fu Guiru felt it was unnecessary.

But Hao Jian and Pei Wencong followed Li Ye's every word, so how could she, as a mother, go against her son?

As a result, how long had it been? The land had appreciated by 30% just by sitting there, which felt faster than making money from business.

"300%? Then I'll have to pay attention in the future."

Hearing Fu Guiru was thoughtful, but didn't care too much. She probably couldn't imagine that if Hao Jian and Pei Wencong were here now, they might trigger a wave of "best-selling" land in Pengcheng.

After the family finished eating, Hearing Fu Guiru asked Fu Yiruo to wash the dishes in the kitchen, while she chatted with Li Ye.

"Xiao Ye, I called you here this time, besides because of your grandpa's matter, it's also because I think we should increase capital and expand shares."

"Hmm?"

Li Ye smiled and said: "Mom, didn't you strongly oppose increasing capital and expanding shares back then? Why did you think it through now?"

"You still have the nerve to say that?"

Hearing Fu Guiru felt angry when she heard Li Ye's words: "How did I know Pei Wencong had a relationship with you back then? If I had known, how could I let you suffer a loss..."

"Now you have seen the prospects of Pengcheng Pengcheng Hongniu. Our production and profits next year will increase by several times or even more than ten times. The Fu Company cannot continue to enjoy the benefits for nothing."

Li Ye smiled and waited for Hearing Fu Guiru to finish, then asked seriously: "Mom, if Pei Wencong had said he had a relationship with me back then, would you have believed it? Would you have helped me get the controlling stake in the Fu Company?"

Hearing Fu Guiru was stunned, silently began to ponder, and only slowly shook her head after a long time.

At that time, the Fu Company was the only bargaining chip in Hearing Fu Guiru's hands. In such a short period of time, she couldn't sort out the mess of things on Li Ye's side, so she couldn't let Pei Wencong get 51% of the shares of the Fu Company.

Li Ye made Hearing Fu Guiru the key person who could decide the Fu Company, which dispelled her doubts, and then she walked step by step to today.

Even so, it was only after Hearing Fu Guiru realized the huge market potential of the mainland that she decided to focus on her son, rather than the Fu Company in Malaysia.

This was a very difficult transition for her. After all, the Fu Company in Malaysia had a complex relationship with Hearing Fu Guiru that was hard to explain.

If it weren't for her own son, Hearing Fu Guiru might have dragged a group of people from the Fu family to make money for a lifetime to repay the kindness of her second uncle for taking her in back then.

"I agree, Mom. I'll call Pei Wencong over tomorrow. You can discuss the capital increase and share expansion with him. Just tell him how much money you need. If the Fu family can come up with the corresponding money, I won't make things difficult for them."

"Okay, I'll communicate with Malaysia as soon as possible to see what their plans are."

Hearing Fu Guiru agreed to Li Ye's suggestion, but she also knew that it was highly likely that Malaysia couldn't come up with much money, and share dilution was inevitable.

She could imagine the reaction of those people in the Fu family now, but so what? She had dragged the Fu family forward for more than ten years, and now she couldn't use her son's money to support them, right?

Seeing Hearing Fu Guiru's expression a bit desolate, Li Ye added: "Mom, I know there are some things you can't bear to do, but they have to be done eventually. Just leave the things that offend people to Pei Wencong; he will follow your wishes."

Hearing Fu Guiru looked at the confident Li Ye and always felt something was wrong, so she asked: "What do you mean by that? Pei Wencong will listen to me?"

Li Ye smiled and said: "He should listen, because his development over the years is inseparable from me. We have a very good relationship."

"You just have a very good relationship? Or is there some kind of constraint?"

Hearing Fu Guiru had been in the business world for many years and immediately grasped a key point. People in Hong Kong were very realistic. If it was just a good relationship, how could they listen to someone's command?

"It's not really a constraint!" Li Ye said calmly: "Pei Wencong and I should be considered to have common interests. I actually think this kind of relationship is more lasting than any constraint."

At the beginning of his venture, Li Ye's constraints on his subordinates were overbearing. In the small courtyard of the second grain store, he shouted the declaration of "I must have the final say."

But in fact, his relationship with Hao Jian, Jin Peng, and even Pei Wencong was still a relationship of friendship plus interests.

And more importantly, it was interests, the interests of continuous "shock" and "super prophet."

If it were in the later generations with a sound legal system, Li Ye wouldn't have to worry too much; he could solve the corporate structure constraints by finding a professional legal team. But in this era of barbaric development...

Even in the later generations, with various rules, regulations, and laws, were those who ate inside and out constrained?

To say a thousand words and ten thousand, as long as Li Ye could lead this group of people to continuous high-speed development, then his team would always be united and do whatever he pointed at.

This was the legendary charisma of a big brother (leader).

If Li Ye couldn't lead everyone to get rich...

Are you kidding? A transmigrator doesn't know where the wealth of this world is? Then why are you transmigrating?
