528: Young people should be confident

Meanwhile, Qian Ziyong attended Liu Gaoda's wedding.

Liu Gaoda was smiling very happily, and his parents were even shedding tears of relief and joy.

For a single person, attending a wedding is truly not a wonderful experience.

After the wedding, he immediately rushed back to Han City.

There were simply too many things, too many miscellaneous tasks, a huge pile of big and small matters.

Upon returning to Han City, at Feihuang Headquarters.

As soon as Qian Ziyong entered, Secretary Xu Zijin hurried over.

"Boss, Elder Zhou is here," Secretary Xu Zijin whispered.

Secretary Xu Zijin was his new secretary.

"Elder Zhou is here!" Qian Ziyong's heart jolted.

He had only ever spoken to Elder Zhou over the phone and had never met him in person.

Elder Zhou came in person?

"Take me to him!" Qian Ziyong said quickly.

Elder Zhou was in the lounge nearby, and as soon as Qian Ziyong entered, he saw an elderly man sitting in a wheelchair, and an older, middle-aged man in a military uniform standing silently behind him.

It was evident that the elder was very old and not in good health.

But with just one glance, Qian Ziyong was certain that this must be Elder Zhou.

His eyes were bright and piercing, emanating a powerful sense of strength.

Although his body was aged, even his old age couldn't suppress the iron-blooded aura about him.

"Elder Zhou!" Qian Ziyong stepped forward respectfully.

It was precisely because of the sacrifices of the predecessors that the people of the nation could stand tall and live with dignity.

Elder Zhou smiled, "Qian Ziyong, this should be our first meeting."

"As expected, you possess an extraordinary demeanor."

Qian Ziyong smiled, "Elder Zhou, you flatter me."

Elder Zhou said kindly, "Everything you've done, I've seen it all. You are much more outstanding than my good-for-nothing grandsons."

Qian Ziyong dared not reply.

How could he speak ill of Elder Zhou's grandsons?

He didn't even dare to agree.

Elder Zhou praised, "Feihuang Plaza is built very well. I can feel that you are making a very big move!"

Qian Ziyong shook his head, "Not at all, not at all. I just wanted to spend more money."

He truly wasn't being modest.

He just wanted to spend more money.

Investing in high-tech spent money too slowly.

Real estate spent money faster.

Elder Zhou shook his head, "You're being modest again."

"I know your character; before something is accomplished, you won't blab about it everywhere. Many times, you look ten steps ahead for every step you take."

"Whether it's Feihuang Supermarket, Heli Lao Hotpot, or Feihuang Restaurant, it has always been part of a grand scheme."

It must be admitted that Qian Ziyong's strategic planning was unmatched.

From the very beginning of his business ventures, Qian Ziyong had been planning.

Without Feihuang Supermarket and Feihuang Restaurant, Feihuang Plaza would have been very difficult to develop. It was Feihuang Supermarket and Feihuang Restaurant that brought in a large flow of people.

It's very likely that when Qian Ziyong opened Feihuang Supermarket and Feihuang Restaurant, he was already planning for Feihuang Plaza.

And when he opened one Feihuang Plaza, he was also preparing for the future expansion of Feihuang Plaza across the entire country.

Qian Ziyong was always preparing, always planning.

Those who were his enemies never truly understood what he was doing.

On the surface, his actions seemed wild and imaginative, even foolish to some.

Only after things were accomplished did the resulting events make people exclaim in surprise that Qian Ziyong had already calculated everything.

Once might be luck, but twice, three times, countless times—how could it all be luck?

Qian Ziyong shook his head, "Elder Zhou, those were just my attempts to lose money. I truly didn't intend to make any."

"It was just a fluke; I don't know how I ended up making money, and the money I made kept increasing, to the point where I couldn't spend it all."

Elder Zhou smiled and shook his head, "Oh, you, you're good in every way, except you're too modest."

"Young people should have some pride."

At this point, Elder Zhou smiled.

It seemed Qian Ziyong was quite proud.

If he was dissatisfied with domestic businessmen, he dared to directly rebuke them in interviews.

No matter what he bought, if it could be domestically produced, he would buy domestically produced as much as possible.

Even when facing foreign capital forces, he stood tall and yielded not an inch.

Although he was sometimes modest, modesty was a good thing.

It was precisely because of Qian Ziyong's modesty, that even after achieving great success, he didn't become complacent, which made Elder Zhou feel very reassured about him.

"Ziyong!" Elder Zhou said sternly, "I am very satisfied with everything else, but there is one point where I must criticize you."

Qian Ziyong humbly bowed his head, "Please enlighten me, Elder Zhou."

Elder Zhou's eyebrows furrowed as he questioned, "Ziyong, why did you take the profits from the eye drops to raise money abroad?"

Qian Ziyong quickly said, "Isn't it because we need to build Feihuang Plaza, but I don't have enough money..."

Elder Zhou said, frustrated, "Didn't I say that if you have any difficulties, you can come to me?"

"Does the country lack money?"

"Do you need to get it from abroad?"

"The country's money?" Qian Ziyong hesitated.

He had never thought of taking that money.

Elder Zhou sighed, "This can't be blamed on you!"

"All this time, my health hasn't been good, so I couldn't come and meet you. You're still quite unfamiliar with me."

"Whenever you encounter difficulties, you always think of solving them yourself."

Qian Ziyong did not speak.

He didn't quite dare to touch the country's money.

Elder Zhou smiled, "You, Qian Ziyong, are exceptionally intelligent, but your vision is still a bit lacking."

"You are no longer an ordinary businessman; you shouldn't view problems from a businessman's perspective."

"Elevate your vision, look at problems from the world's peak."

"Place your vision from the country's perspective; don't dwell on minor gains and losses."

Qian Ziyong paused for a moment.

He pondered carefully.

It truly seemed to be the case.

Ever since he started dealing with trillions of funds, his every move affected more than just one enterprise.

Elder Zhou continued, "The reason I came this time, besides wanting to meet and chat with you, is also to bring money."

"Didn't you need ten trillion and couldn't gather enough?"

"You should still be short three point five trillion, right?"

"I brought three point five trillion."

Hearing this, Qian Ziyong was very surprised, "Elder Zhou, you want to give me three point five trillion?"

"This..."

With so much money, Elder Zhou must have been under immense pressure to secure it for him, right?

Elder Zhou seemed to read Qian Ziyong's thoughts and smiled, "There's no pressure."

"Your extensive construction of Feihuang Plaza this time benefits both the country and the people; everyone is very supportive."

"Moreover, the country is not short of money. Not only is it not short of money, but it has a lot of money with nowhere to spend it."

Qian Ziyong was puzzled.

Elder Zhou explained, "As you know, foreign trade brings in a lot of money every year!"

"This money has been sitting there, just sitting there, not of much use."

"The country needs talented individuals to activate the funds. Money is only money when it's alive; if it just sits there, it's just a pile of paper!"

"Why me?" Qian Ziyong asked, "I'm just a young man, and I don't have..."

He had no connections. He had thought about taking the civil service exam before, but it had become too difficult in the past two years.

Plus, he wasn't from a prestigious university, which made the exam even harder.

Elder Zhou smiled, "You underestimate yourself too much."

"As for being young, that's not a disadvantage, but an advantage."

Elder Zhou looked out the window at the sky and murmured, "Our Huaxia, from ancient times to the present, has had many young geniuses who amazed the world."

"Gan Luo became a prime minister at twelve, and Han Xin could lead troops in his twenties."

"Why can't you?"

"Others have great confidence in you, so why do you lack confidence in yourself?"
