Chapter 596: Watching Wen Leyu

"Regarding this matter, we have initially discussed it with your grandfather. We will go in two parts. One part is still your current operating mode, Li Ye, after all, you have already proven the success of this mode."

"The other part, you put up some money, form a joint venture with a state-owned enterprise, establish a subordinate company of an investment nature, and then invest in and control the manufacturing industry in the mainland and abroad. This also coincides with the 'national fortune binding' you mentioned..."

Since Li Ye spoke clearly, Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng explained to him clearly, but it sounded like the routine was similar to the one Li Ye used to invest in the Changbei Machinery Factory and the 506 Factory before.

But Li Ye knew that it must be different, otherwise it would be impossible for Teacher Ke and her husband to come over together.

So Li Ye asked tentatively: "Then who am I investing with? With COFCO?"

COFCO also has business overseas, and it is also possible to establish a joint venture company to test the water while growing.

However, Wen Qingsheng shook his head and said: "Originally, after you graduated, I planned to recruit you into COFCO. After you were promoted a few levels, I would arrange a suitable place for you."

"But since there is a joint venture company, you can't be transferred away within ten or twenty years. This is in the same unit as me... I need to avoid suspicion."

"..."

Li Ye pursed his lips and nodded slowly, expressing understanding of Wen Qingsheng's "cultivation."

Being promoted a few levels in COFCO and going to other places as a department-level official is a shortcut. At the end of the shortcut is a position that many people can't touch for a lifetime.

But if you stay in COFCO for a long time, it's not easy to be promoted. There are only so many positions above, and if the father-in-law and son-in-law are together, there will be gossip.

Li Ye thought for a while and asked: "Then Wen Uncle, who are we forming a joint venture with?"

Wen Qingsheng smiled and said: "CITIC, do you know?"

"CITIC?"

"..."

Although Li Ye had guessed various answers, this answer still surprised him.

【Can this level of company also be a hanging unit?】

If COFCO is biased toward manufacturing, then CITIC is biased toward finance, and whether it is the name or the strength, it is a circle larger than COFCO.

Wen Qingsheng continued to explain: "Starting from a few years ago, CITIC began to expand outward. Up to now, it has invested in and controlled more than 140 companies. These companies are in the mainland and overseas, which is more suitable for your plan..."

Li Ye couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said: "Wen Uncle, the systems in the mainland and overseas are different. When I play investment and speculation overseas, I basically have the final say, but cooperating with CITIC, do I have the final say?"

"What are you thinking? You are a child who just graduated, and you still want to have the final say?"

Li Zhongfa slapped Li Ye on the forehead, as if to wake him up.

What is the level of the current head of CITIC? Li Ye wants to have the final say? Dreaming!

Not to mention this level of unit, even if it is a collective enterprise with a complete establishment, you, a college student who just graduated, don't have the final say.

Just graduated, and go to be a factory director?

Are you kidding?

Even if it is a rocket rise, it must have a process of ignition, launch, and lift-off.

Teacher Ke was also amused by Li Ye.

"Little Ye, you also know that the systems are different, so you have to understand some things, but don't worry, it will ensure that you won't lose money. As long as it is conducive to our construction to the maximum extent, no one can grab your things."

Li Ye raised his hand, as if asking to speak: "I misunderstood Ke Auntie just now. You mean, the manager of the joint venture company is not me. After I am assigned to CITIC after graduation, I will start from the grassroots level?"

Teacher Ke nodded slowly, indicating that Li Ye guessed right.

Li Ye lay back, leaning on the back of the sofa, and let out a deep breath.

If Li Ye put up money for this joint venture company, and he was the manager as the controlling person like the Changbei Machinery Factory, then he would be a hanger-on, and everyone would be doing business.

But if he starts from the grassroots level, then... this is another path.

And listening to Teacher Ke's meaning, the manager of the joint venture company should also be one of their own. Although Li Ye is grassroots, he also has the meaning of a supervisor.

Li Ye's brain turned quickly, and after a long time, he said slowly: "This is a fairy game!"

Grandfather Li Zhongfa frowned and asked: "What did you say, Little Ye? What fairy game?"

Li Ye looked at his grandfather's appearance and knew that he was also anxious in his heart.

But since Li Zhongfa came to the Lighthouse, he hadn't deliberately spent time alone with Li Ye, and had no intention of discussing things, so Li Ye felt that these three elders today also wanted to see his own choice.

So after quick consideration, Li Ye gave his answer.

He pointed at Watching Wen Leyu and said with twelve points of certainty: "I think Xiaoyu is more suitable than me. Let her go to CITIC and watch our family's business!"

Fairy game, of course, is a fairy fight.

Even if Li Ye's level was not high in later generations, he knew how many immortals were in CITIC.

And even if Li Ye married Watching Wen Leyu, he was still a half-immortal. Fighting alone might be very strong, but if he wanted to form a clique...

In fact, Li Ye just wanted to be lazy, just wanted to eat soft rice, just wanted to let Watching Wen Leyu turn into the king Sun Shangxiang, standing in front with a crossbow cannon plus explosive bombs, and he only needed to provide ammunition in the back.

"Hahahaha~"

Li Ye just designated Watching Wen Leyu, and the little girl herself hadn't reacted yet, looking at Li Ye in a daze! Li Zhongfa laughed loudly and spoke.

"Li Ye's proposal is not bad! I think this idea is very good, I 100% agree."

"Tsk~"

Wen Qingsheng hissed, hesitated and said: "This is not good! Xiaoyu doesn't understand economics..."

Li Ye immediately said: "No, no, Wen Uncle, Xiaoyu understands economics. She has been self-studying economic knowledge all these years. If you don't believe me, go and see the books in her room now, they are all economics books..."

Watching Wen Leyu was dumbfounded. She had only just started learning economic knowledge recently, so how did she become "studying all these years"?

But it was already up to her now.

Because she happened to see Li Zhongfa giving Li Ye a thumbs up under the table.

Li Zhongfa came with him this time, not to order Li Ye to be frugal, but for the two families to discuss this major event.

If Li Zhongfa didn't come, then Wen Qingsheng and Teacher Ke would have the suspicion of "bullying the small with the big."

This is like discussing marriage between two families. If one party's parents call the boy or girl to their home and ask, "How much money is your family prepared to spend on this marriage?"

It looks like a discussion, but in fact, the two sides are not equal at all. The requirements put forward by adults are not easy for children to refuse.

Of course, the results discussed in this situation can be changed if they say so.

But if the parents of both sides are present, the conditions discussed are not so easy to go back on.

Li Ye enters CITIC, and all kinds of arrangements along the way, Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng have to provide resources.

Watching Wen Leyu also knows this truth, so although she knows it is not easy to resist, she still asked Li Ye angrily: "Why did you let me go? Didn't you hear my mom say let you go?"

Li Ye smiled and said: "I know, some things I am better at, such as making money, and some things have to rely on you, wife, to support the scene."

"Hahahaha~"

Now Teacher Ke's couple and Li Zhongfa all laughed.

Although the two have not married yet, the two families are already discussing the marriage, plus today's agreement, this marriage is actually a done deal. Li Ye calling Watching Wen Leyu "wife" is not frivolous.

"You... you don't know anything." 【5

Watching Wen Leyu was both anxious and angry; she really wanted to make things clear to Li Ye, but she was distressed that the three elders were present, so she couldn't bring herself to say it.

What Li Ye was refusing was not just a job; it was the tilting of the entire family's resources!

But Li Ye looked into Watching Wen Leyu's eyes and said calmly, "I know, and you know too, that I am relatively lazy, so in the future, I will have to trouble you."

"..."

Li Ye certainly knew what he was giving up to Watching Wen Leyu.

Decades later, it was common practice for deputies of financial state-owned enterprises like the Zhongxin Company to be sent down to local areas to serve as high-ranking officials in charge of the economy.

Of course, even for Watching Wen Leyu, it would certainly be very difficult to reach that step, but didn't she have Li Ye, this "wise inner helper" who was a cheater?

If she wanted results, she just had to shout—"Money, come!"—and wouldn't Li Ye come running?
