Chapter 594: No wonder they say you can earn and spend

"Little Ye, looking at you two, you didn't expect grandfather to come to the Lighthouse, did you? How about it, you don't want to provide meals?"

Li Ye was guessing blindly in his heart, but Li Zhongfa's mood was very good. After coming out of the gate, he chatted with Li Ye and Watching Wen Leyu with a smile.

Watching Wen Leyu hurriedly said with a smile: "No, no, it's that we didn't understand clearly in advance, and let you give us a surprise, grandfather."

"Hahahaha~"

Li Zhongfa laughed loudly, and then said to Watching Wen Leyu: "Isn't it because after the Spring Festival, I and Little Ye's father went to Beijing to discuss your marriage with your parents?"

"As a result, your parents happened to say they were coming to see you, so I thought I would just hitch a ride, come over to walk around and see, and broaden my knowledge."

"Oh, hehe~"

Hearing Li Zhongfa talk about her and Li Ye's marriage, Watching Wen Leyu smiled shyly, retreated to Teacher Ke's side, and felt a bit embarrassed.

And Li Ye looked behind Li Zhongfa and asked: "Then my dad? Why didn't I see him?"

Li Zhongfa waved his hand and said: "He doesn't have a passport, so of course he couldn't come. I took advantage of your light, under the name of a consultant for the instant noodle factory, and visited Nanyang and Japan several times, so I had this convenience to go abroad."

"Grandfather, you don't call this taking advantage of my light, it's my natural filial piety to you..."

"Ke Auntie, Wen Uncle, let's find a place to sit down first, and then handle official business, okay?"

Li Ye said while smiling and taking Li Zhongfa's luggage, and discussed with Teacher Ke.

Because there were two followers standing behind Wen Qingsheng, Li Ye guessed that he also had "official business" when coming to the Lighthouse, and he always had to say a few scene words.

Wen Qingsheng nodded with a smile and said to the two people behind him: "Little Zhang, let's go to the designated hotel to stay first, and I will contact you later."

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

Li Ye wrote a phone number and handed it to Little Zhang: "If there is an emergency, call this number."

"Okay, okay."

Little Zhang agreed repeatedly, then quickened his pace and left with his colleague.

Those who can follow Wen Qingsheng are naturally his confidants. Hearing grandfather Li Zhongfa's words, they knew that they were going to discuss family affairs, so they didn't ask or listen, and left quickly.

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

These two cars, one is a four-door Bentley Mulsanne, and the other is the new generation two-door Continental just launched in '82, brand new and shining, very dazzling.

Although Li Zhongfa's expression remained unchanged, his eyes flickered and he glanced at Teacher Ke, then said with a smile: "Yo, Little Ye, these two cars are not bad! Did you borrow them or buy them?"

Li Ye said honestly: "Grandfather, I bought them. Doing business in the Lighthouse, everyone pays attention to the brand..."

"That's not just the Lighthouse, we also pay attention to the brand over there!"

Li Zhongfa laughed and asked again: "This car looks good, it must be one or two hundred thousand, right?"

Li Ye nodded with a smile: "About the same! Two cars, two or three hundred thousand..."

Li Zhongfa walked around the Mulsanne and nodded repeatedly: "The cars in the Lighthouse are really cheap. This car is two hundred thousand, it looks much better than a Santana."

Li Ye and Watching Wen Leyu both laughed awkwardly and didn't pick up the conversation.

And Fu Yiruo stuck out her tongue, and the smile on her face couldn't be held back.

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

Li Zhongfa blinked and looked at Fu Yiruo: "What's wrong, Little Ru, did the two of them set an ambush for me?"

Fu Yiruo hurriedly said with a smile: "No, no, grandfather, Li Ye also felt it was very worth it when he bought these two cars..."

Fu Yiruo's "grandfather" made Li Zhongfa feel a mix of five flavors.

This is his own granddaughter!

Li Ye picked up Teacher Ke, her husband, and grandfather Li Zhongfa, and returned to the new home that had been renamed LW Estate all the way.

After entering the estate, 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 in a few days ago."

Li Zhongfa nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad. How much did it cost to buy this place?"

Li Ye swallowed his saliva and said: "I negotiated the price, less than two million dollars."

"..."

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

Li Ye nodded slowly, indicating that grandfather you are really smart.

"Sss~"

Li Zhongfa took a breath, and then said amusedly: "No wonder Little Yu's mother told me you can earn and spend. It turns out you spend money by the ten thousand, and it's dollars!"

Fu Yiruo, who was driving, pursed her lips and stole a smile, because when her mother Fu Guiru was also shocked by Li Ye's "dollar pricing" back then.

After everyone arrived at the main house of the estate, Fu Yiruo slipped away quietly.

The little girl was very smart, knowing that Li Zhongfa, Teacher Ke, and Wen Qingsheng had come together, they must be talking to Li Ye about business.

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

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

Even crosstalk needs a supporting role! Li Ye must have a helper.

However, after entering the small living room, Teacher Ke and the others didn't immediately get to the point, but asked about Li Ye and Watching Wen Leyu's thoughts and insights after coming to the Lighthouse.

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

Li Ye said very simply: "Grandfather, Ke Auntie, Wen Uncle, after this period of investigation, Watching Wen Leyu and I believe that the low-end and even mid-to-high-end industries in the Lighthouse have begun to transfer irreversibly."

"And the only ones that can undertake these mid-to-high-end industries can only be our East Asian cultural circle. This is our opportunity and our test."

"The world center now is the Lighthouse, which is unquestionable, but the world center thirty years later will definitely be East Asia."

"..."

Li Zhongfa and Wen Qingsheng were both stunned, because the conclusion Li Ye said had the suspicion of blowing his own trumpet.

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

Li Ye explained: "The East Asia I'm talking about actually refers to the East Asian cultural circle, or the Confucian cultural circle, because there is a sentence in our Confucian culture—'Heaven is vigorous, and a gentleman should strive for self-improvement.'"

"This sentence, after thousands of years of infiltration, has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of those of us, encouraging us to seek progress, be firm and strong, work hard, and never stop..."

Li Ye's words, of course, are not blowing big air.

East Asian population, China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, carried the production end of a large number of high-tech industries decades later.

Although part of the R&D end of high technology is still in Europe and America, the production end mainly relies on East Asia.

Because the East Asian culture is obsessed with "involution"!

"Heaven is vigorous, and a gentleman should strive for self-improvement" is to let you roll without stopping!

The production of those high-tech industries relies on the high-end industrial population brought out by the East Asian involution culture!

These people in East Asia are educated from childhood to "roll" and "stand out." This kind of population is essentially different from the G7 European and American population.

East Asians believe in collectivism, like to save money, can work, observe discipline, obey management... and have a bunch of cruel advantages.

In contrast to the East Asian population, the European and American population focuses on freedom, pursues not working, likes to spend money, is incompatible with discipline, and is difficult to manage...

Damn it, this kind of population is not suitable for industrialization at all, right?

Of course, Southeast Asian, Latin American, and South Asian populations can also endure hardship, but education cannot keep up, and culture does not encourage learning or collectivism, which leads to being a little bit worse in comprehensive quality.

So Musk's factories in other countries couldn't start work for years, and TSMC moved to the Lighthouse, and it also couldn't start work for years.

But you say "involution" is the advantage of East Asians? Or a weakness?

This is actually a very contradictory question. ===== CHAPTER 595 =====
