Chapter 1519 Eight Years Later (4300 words)

"Okay!" Luo Xiyun responded. After hearing what her husband said, she put down her worries and thought that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were taking care of her, and Wu Jialei and Geng Yuqin were also following her, so what could happen.

When Wu Jialei drove away, Luo Xiyun was still telling Yatou and Tongtong over and over again to be obedient when they went back.

"Mom, don't worry, I, Tongtong, have always been the safest in doing things." Tongtong said, patting her chest.

The more she said this, the more uneasy Luo Xiyun became, always feeling like something was about to happen.

But what everyone didn't expect was that nothing happened to Yatou and Tongtong, but on the third day after his father Xia Weicheng and his mother Zhou Yinghong returned, when Xia Zekai and his wife Luo Xiyun were taking a break at home, their father Xia Weicheng was a little choked when he returned to his hometown.

I called him.

"Zekai, your grandpa may not be able to survive these days. Come back as soon as possible." Xia Weicheng said this.

At that moment, Xia Zekai's cell phone hit the ground with a bang.

Xia Zekai hurriedly picked up the smartphone with a broken screen, and confirmed that he heard correctly when he asked "Hey, hey, hey". This made him look a little dazed and sad, as if he still didn't dare to accept this reality.

Then he quickly packed up his things and called his wife to go back to his hometown together.

"How could this happen? It's obviously fine?" Luo Xiyun was also a little panicked, but she still had to work hard to calm down and take care of her three children.

"I don't know. When I called him years ago, he said everything was fine?" Xia Zekai couldn't figure out why such an accident happened.

He blamed himself and felt that he should have gone against all opinions and brought his grandfather to the capital. Since he was not short of money, if something unexpected happened, he went directly to the hospital.

It's great now. I can imagine the level of medical conditions in my hometown.

"Dad!" Qingyu felt that her father's mood was not right. She stretched out her little hand and held Xia Zekai's hand, trying to comfort him.

Xia Zekai looked at his daughter who looked a little scared and felt very uncomfortable. He told himself not to show his emotions in front of his children.

The next moment, he smiled: "Qingyu, dad is fine."

"Do you want to cry?" Qingyu said.

Xia Zekai showed a big smile to his daughter, then turned his head to the side.

"Be good Qingyu, mom will play with you." Luo Xiyun said.

Xia Zekai looked at the buildings, scenery, and trees passing by quickly outside the car window. He was still very anxious and wanted to urge Wang Yi to drive faster, but he knew that he had to stay calm and not be impulsive.

On the way, Xia Zekai called his father twice, and his grandfather could still speak, which made Xia Zekai breathe a sigh of relief.

The speed of the car increased again on the highway, but today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and there are already many returning cars on the highway. Even if Xia Zekai is not afraid of being checked for speeding, or deducting points and fines, for the safety of the family at this time, their

The speed of the car is not much faster.

On the other side, Dongcheng, Dazhang Village, Zhang Jun’s home.

Standing at the gate, you can feel that the atmosphere inside is a bit depressing.

Xia Weicheng and Zhang Jun were standing at the door smoking, with bad expressions on their faces.

Xia Weicheng has not smoked for a long time, but he broke the habit today.

He took another deep puff, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and crushed it to death with his feet: "Zekai is coming back soon, and Zejiang is coming this way too."

"Brother-in-law..." Zhang Jun couldn't continue as soon as he started.

Instead, Xia Weicheng comforted him: "It's okay, our dad is already over ninety, this is a relief for him."

Even though he said that, Xia Weicheng couldn't accept this fact in his heart.

Thinking of those few years, his mother-in-law passed away, and later his father also passed away. The only elder left in the family was his father-in-law. Xia Weicheng still planned to fulfill his filial piety before bed, but who knew that this would happen.

He was even more worried that his wife Zhou Yinghong would not be able to accept this reality and would not be able to get back up again.

"Dad, my grandpa wants to say a few words to you." Zhang Peng came out of the house and shouted quickly when he saw his father and uncle.

"Brother-in-law, let's go in quickly." Zhang Jun also dropped the cigarette butt in his hand and stepped on it.

A few hours later, Xia Zekai's car drove into Dazhang Village and finally stopped in front of his uncle's house.

At this time, there were several cars parked here. Xia Zekai glanced at them and found that some of the cars looked familiar, but most of them were unfamiliar.

Before he even entered, he felt the sad atmosphere.

At that moment, Xia Zekai was thinking about a question: "If I don't go in, will grandpa be fine?"

But the facts obviously won't go the way he wants.

When Zhou Lin was dying, he heard a vague shout in his ear: "Dad, Zekai is back, your grandson is back, please open your eyes and take a look..."

When Xia Zekai entered, he saw his grandfather Zhou Lin turning his head towards him and narrowing his eyes.

"Grandpa, it's me, Zekai is back to see you." Xia Zekai shouted softly.

I originally thought that my grandpa couldn't hear clearly, but who knew that his grandpa had surprisingly good ears now and tried hard to keep his last smile. It could be seen from the expression on his face that he was very satisfied.

He said: "Zekai, I saw your grandma, I really saw it!"

The next moment, he raised his arm as if to grab something, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

Until his hand suddenly froze in mid-air without any warning, and he fell back to the bed in an instant.

"father!"

"Grandpa!"

"grandfather!"

Various cries rang out, but grandpa still left.

It was already three days after I finished arranging funeral arrangements for my grandpa.

At this time, most companies were open for business, but his mother Zhou Yinghong was very emotional. Xia Zekai was not at ease at all and he was in no hurry to return to the company.

Instead, he chose to stay with his mother to finish the housework, and then took her to relax.

People can't live in the past. Xia Zekai also felt very reluctant to part with his grandfather, but he knew that he still had a lot of burdens on him and there were still five children to take care of at home.

On the company side, there are tens of thousands of families, large and small. If you include upstream and downstream partners, there are more than hundreds of thousands of people who rely on Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. for a living.

He can't give up easily!

…

Time flies by, years pass by, and in the blink of an eye it is already eight years later!

This year is the year of the Great Recession.

The overall economy is not advancing but retreating.

To be precise, from 2018 onwards, the overall economic environment has deteriorated.

At that time, some people commented that 2018 was the worst year in the past 10 years, and it was also the best year for the economy in the next 10 years.

I can’t say whether this statement is accurate or not, but in fact it does appear to be the case.

Later, unexpected situations occurred, and many factories were even more difficult to deal with.

This era of big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating shrimps, proves the cruel truth in economic development all the time.

What many business people believe in in the past few years is to do whatever it takes to survive!

The same is true for a behemoth like Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.

After Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. reaches a certain level, all aspects involved cannot be explained clearly in just one or two sentences.

While other companies were reducing costs through layoffs, Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. also closed recruitment channels, but it did not take the initiative to lay off even one person, nor did it choose to cut salaries to reduce costs for this reason.

Many people are saying that Xia Zekai is not a qualified capitalist because he is not cruel enough!

At the critical moment, he should have cut him off, but he didn't do that. Instead, he tightened his belt and moved forward together with all the brothers and sisters of the company, upstream and downstream factories, and moved forward with a heavy load!

Some say he is the most conscientious entrepreneur.

However, he was able to do this thanks to the company's conscious large-scale deposits in the past few years. No one can tell clearly how much money Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. has.

But many people know that since Xia Zekai was listed on the Forbes list of China's richest people, he has frequently moved below the second place in the past ten years, but he has never been down.

What's even more interesting is that his net worth on the list has always been more than 200 billion, and at its highest, it was more than 300 billion.

But even the general public knows that this number is watered down.

If nothing else, there are some things that many netizens know very well.

Xia Zekai is the major shareholder of Ningde Battery. After Ningde Battery was listed in 2018, in just a few years, its market value on the GEM exceeded one trillion!

Kelan Chemical has now become one of the largest chemical plants in the industry..

More importantly, after 8 years of accumulation and development, Toutiao has not yet been listed on the market, but its market-recognized valuation exceeded US$180 billion last year.

Douyin Short Video, a new kid on the rise, has come from behind. After a series of integrations and mergers, it has now become the biggest darling in the capital market. Recently, it is still talking about merging with Toutiao.

Every well-known capital company wants to take a bite of the cake, but many people know that its big boss is still Xia Zekai.

Beijing Xiaoai Technology Co., Ltd. has been rumored privately in the capital market that if it chooses to go public, its "Xiaoai Cloud Intelligence" built with "artificial intelligence" and "smart future" as its core will definitely be more than a trillion-level

Volume.

Jingcheng Health Biopharmaceuticals, under special circumstances in the past few years, relied on a large amount of capital to steal the limelight. However, it did not make this fortune. Instead, it chose to sell some special products at low prices, which made the industry scold it.
