Chapter 117 - 117 Double Standards
117 Double Standards
When Liu Haikang heard this, he hurriedly said, “Chairman Ye, there’s no need to be polite with me. I’ll create a seal for you when we get back.”
People with such ident.i.ties would create some personal seals that were very convenient to use.
If Ye Xuan didn’t have one, Liu Haikang would help him get one.
Meanwhile, Ye Xuan didn’t seem to care about the seal. He just waved his hand lightly, indicating that he would settle it by himself.
However, Liu Haikang did not give up and silently remembered this matter.
Everyone gathered around the desk and discussed Ye Xuan’s calligraphy with great interest.
In his excitement, Liu Haikang praised him endlessly.
If his son hadn’t secretly tugged at the corner of his shirt, he would have had a lot to say.
Liu Yun winked at his father and said in a small voice that only the two of them could hear, “Dad, look at the time. It’s time to eat.”
Liu Haikang slapped his forehead and said apologetically, “Please forgive me. It seems like I’m really old and don’t know when to stop speaking! Since Chairman Ye is here today, please accept my humble request and have a meal at my house!”
Liu Yun also echoed, “That’s right, Brother Ye. It’s time to eat. Let’s have a meal at my house! You’re usually so good to me, but I haven’t found a chance to repay you. Let me treat you to a meal to express my grat.i.tude!”
Ye Xuan looked at the sincere father and son. Then, he nodded in agreement.
He had a good impression of the father and son. From the moment he arrived until now, the two of them were very polite. He could be considered to be having a good time.
Liu Haikang was very happy to see Ye Xuan agree. He immediately called the butler to prepare the dishes and invited Ye Xuan to a banquet.
The butler immediately arranged for someone to prepare. He had worked for the Liu family for decades, but this was the first time he had seen the father and son value a guest so much. As the butler, he did not dare to delay.
Soon, a warm family banquet was prepared. Liu Haikang invited Ye Xuan to the banquet.
In order to respect him, he even left the master seat to Ye Xuan.
“Chairman Ye, you should be very clear about the development trend in Jinling this year, right? The higher-ups have released the progress of and investments in more than a hundred scientific research projects at once. It seems that the trend from this year onwards is towards scientific research and network security.”
Liu Haikang invited everyone to eat while discussing this year’s developments with Ye Xuan.
When Ye Xuan heard this, he nodded slightly and said, “This year, the higher-ups invested more than 160 billion yuan. Most of the money was invested in the development of the Internet. However, this doesn’t mean that this is a signal. This is the inevitable outcome of the development of the Internet in the country.”
Nowadays, the development of the Internet was extremely fast. Internet information security had become the most important thing.
Cybersecurity and personal privacy were already problems that had to be resolved as soon as possible.
Liu Haikang seemed to be a little emotional about this. “However, the higher-ups have chosen some large research inst.i.tutes to work with this time. It’s really a pity that private companies like ours can’t be related to these projects.”
“Actually, Chairman Liu, you don’t have to feel sorry. There are still many investments in transportation, education, health care, and so on that can be negotiated.” Ye Xuan talked about the development of Jinling. He was clear about the plans and policies of the higher-ups.
Liu Haikang was not the only one who was surprised. Liu Yanran and Liu Yun were also shocked.
Looking at Ye Xuan, who was only eight or nine years old but had extremely gentlemanly and n.o.ble etiquette, they were speechless.
Was this child really only eight or nine years old?
Whether it was his social etiquette, hospitality, or the various skills he displayed, he had already surpa.s.sed too many adults in the world.
In their understanding, there was almost no one as outstanding as Ye Xuan.
Not to mention that such a person was only eight or nine years old.
Liu Haikang’s mouth fell open. After a while, he slowly closed it. “Chairman Ye, your business sense is really too sharp. If there are any new developments, I hope you can give me more pointers.”
Ye Xuan tasted the Liu family’s delicacies and was very impressed by the chef’s cooking.
The Liu family’s banquet valued the requirements of the ingredients very much. However, to be able to produce such a good taste, it meant that the chef’s culinary skills had reached a certain level.
He thought for a moment and said to Liu Haikang, “Chairman Liu, I can’t give you any pointers, but I can provide a little point of view.”
“You just said that Jinling attaches great importance to the development of Internet security this year. Although we can’t enter the large-scale security research inst.i.tutes that are working with the higher-ups, nor do we have the time to build companies comparable to their strength, we can derive other industries to advance with the higher-ups’ policies. We can be considered forerunners.”
The market of every industry could be compared to a big cake. Whoever entered first would be able to allocate the entire cake. They could eat as much as they wanted.
If they could seize the market first, it would definitely be a good thing.
Ye Xuan’s short sentences just now contained too much information.
The others at the dining table stopped and looked at Ye Xuan expectantly, wanting to hear what he would say next.
“We can totally build an intelligent online city with the higher-ups based on the projects we have on hand and connect the entire city. Of course, the premise is that in terms of information security, we have to start by ourselves. Furthermore, we need to absolutely prevent the possibility of the customers’ privacy being exposed.” Ye Xuan talked naturally, his eyes constantly emitting a confident glow.
This light was too powerful, causing the people beside him to automatically ignore his age and be completely immersed in his imagination.
Ye Xuan even mentioned, “We can also partic.i.p.ate in basic livelihood reform and livelihood-related services. Don’t think about obtaining a large return every time you invest. You have to treat Jinling as your home! Once the base is built, wealth can flow in faster and into your pocket…”
Liu Haikang was already terrified.
Yes, he was terrified.
Ye Xuan, who was speaking with fervor and a.s.surance, was too terrifying.
His thoughts were clear and his ideas were unique.
His mind was like a large computer at work. After collecting a large amount of information, it quickly summarized the information and formed new opinions.
Liu Haikang subconsciously looked at Liu Yanran. He saw shock and disbelief in her eyes.
Yes, who would have thought that an eight or nine-year-old child would be more concerned about the livelihood of the local people than people like them who were high and mighty?
They felt ashamed of their inferiority and lowered their heads in shame.
They sighed and lamented to Ye Xuan.
“Chairman Ye, compared to your situation, we’re still far inferior! I’ve really learned something today!”
“Brother Ye, you’re simply too awesome! You were my idol in the past, but from today onwards, you’re my only idol!”
“Young Master, it turns out that you’ve already taken all kinds of situations to heart! To be able to do this, you’re indeed far-sighted!”
There was no trace of flattery in their words. Instead, they spoke from the bottom of their hearts.
They respected Ye Xuan’s words.
Liu Haikang restrained his excitement and hurriedly called everyone to eat first. “Let’s eat first. We can talk later! Otherwise, the taste will change when the food gets cold.”
Furthermore, Liu Haikang also asked the butler to bring over his long-cherished Da Hong Pao tea.
Da Hong Pao was a type of black tea. It was very comfortable to drink as a supplement and could warm one’s stomach.
Ye Xuan liked the taste of Da Hong Pao. Everyone ate happily.
During the meal, everyone understood one another better.
Just as he finished eating, Liu Yun’s phone rang. He glanced at the number and pressed the answer b.u.t.ton.
After a simple conversation, he hung up.
“Brother Ye, the young masters are asking me to race with them. Do you want to take a look together?” After Liu Yun put down his phone, he immediately asked Ye Xuan for his opinion.
Liu Yun respected Ye Xuan very much. It had nothing to do with age or status.
Everything that Ye Xuan had done before was worthy of his respect.
Before Ye Xuan could speak, Liu Haikang, who was sitting beside Liu Yun, frowned and looked at his son. He reprimanded him, “Look at you. You only know how to race all day. What do you want me to say about you? If you have the time to play with cars, can’t you learn finance and understand some policies from Chairman Ye?”
Liu Haikang looked as if he expected better from his son. The more he spoke, the angrier he became. In the future, he would hand the company over to his son to manage. How could he be at ease with such a sloppy appearance?!
He raised his hand and tapped Liu Yun’s forehead. “Look at Chairman Ye! He can see through the development and prospects of Jinling. Do you know how much acc.u.mulation and experience this requires?”
Not only did he have to know the relevant policies of the higher-ups in time, but he also had to be quite familiar with legal and financial knowledge. Only then could Ye Xuan state such an opinion.
Some things sounded simple, but after coming into contact with them, they realized that there was a huge iceberg hidden under the water, waiting for them to discover it.
Even Liu Yun might not be able to understand the core logic of these matters.
Liu Yun did not dare to talk back to his father, but he was very unconvinced.
Even if his father compared himself to Ye Xuan, the difference would be large, let alone if he was compared with Ye Xuan.
How could a little star in the sky be compared to the bright moon?
Ye Xuan was also very helpless when he heard that. He shook his head and smiled. “Chairman Liu, actually, Young Master Liu is still very outstanding. Moreover, I like to play with cars.”
After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he looked at Liu Yun and asked when they were going over.
When Liu Haikang heard Ye Xuan say that he liked to play with cars too, his expression changed. He angrily waited for his son and scolded, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring Chairman Ye to play.”
Liu Yun was confused.
What the f*ck, his mentality exploded!
Did his father have to be like this?!
His father was too scary now!
Could his father not have such double standards?!
