Mr. Zheng's statement is very generous, because the same technology itself and its subsequent development results are not the same thing. If the country wants to continue to develop thermonuclear technology, it needs to invest a lot of money and manpower. If it is willing to share it with Ling Cang, it will be equal to Ling Cang got a bargain out of thin air: "Okay. Thank you, Mr. Zheng. I promise that in the future, other technologies will only be reserved for the country."
"Okay." Mr. Zheng nodded and praised: "Not only have you developed so many technologies at such a young age, but you also have such a broad mind and sense of dedication. It is extremely rare."
Just hung up the phone call from Mr. Zheng. Another call came in. Ling Cang was worried and asked impatiently: "Who is it?"
"It's me..." The caller was Shen Fanlei. Hearing Ling Cang's tone, he was startled: "You are in a bad mood."
"Oh... I'm a little upset. But it's nothing." Ling Cang softened his tone. He smiled and asked, "Do you miss me?"
"I..." Shen Fanlei has never been good at sweet words. This time it's the same: "It's like this. My dad said there is nothing to do tonight. I want you to come home for dinner."
"Okay. I'll go now."
Like Lin Xuening and Jiang Mingxian, Shen Minglin has also been busy with Century Energy. The three of them have different divisions of labor. They meet from time to time to exchange information.
Shen Minglin had already taken care of the work, but suddenly encountered some emergencies at the project site. As a result, when Ling Cang arrived at Shen's house, he was still in the office.
"You sit down for a while first..." Shen Fanlei brought Ling Cang into the study. She said a little apologetically: "Dad said to come back as soon as possible."
"It doesn't matter if you wait a while." Ling Cang smiled: "Who said we are juniors?"
Shen Fanlei looked at Ling Cang and asked tentatively: "You seem to have something on your mind."
"Yes." In front of Shen Fanlei, Ling Cang would not hide anything, but he would not tell everything: "Before you, someone called me. He was a very important figure in this country. He asked One suggestion is for me to form a huge enterprise group based on Century Energy."
"How to distribute equity."
"The state allocated a sum of industry support funds. I invested in technology and Century Energy. Although he didn't say it, I can estimate that the state will definitely take the lion's share."
"What do you think."
Ling Cang didn't answer and asked: "What do you think?"
"It can be said that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Countless people dream of getting it." After a pause, Shen Fanlei added meaningfully: "However, the specific situation requires detailed analysis."
"That's right."
"So I want to know what you really think."
"I think you should also know. In the future, I may inherit a huge amount of property..." Speaking of these things, Ling Cang did not express any excitement. Instead, his tone seemed a little heavy: "After I have this money, I will You can do whatever you want. There is no need to make additional money."
"I know this." Shen Fanlei nodded: "So I want to know even more. What are your thoughts on this."
"Yes." Ling Cang nodded with certainty: "When I was in the mountains, I enjoyed that kind of life very much. Although I had no money, I was very happy. I read books every day and learned all kinds of knowledge. When I was on vacation, I would spend time with my children. We ran all over the mountains and fields together, catching sparrows, voles, frogs... and then we came to Minghai. I went to class every day, played with you, and often participated in club activities. We were also very happy. Although money is very important in this big city. It has never troubled me..."
"So, you..." Shen Fanlei looked at Ling Cang and asked word by word: "Very contented."
"It's not about being content or dissatisfied..." Ling Cang shook his head slowly and corrected: "I just think that after inheriting the property in the future, I can already live a better life without getting involved in various fights. "
"You are right. More wealth and power means more responsibility and risk." After a pause, Shen Fanlei reminded meaningfully: "But have you ever thought about it. Let your life reach a peak that is difficult for anyone to reach."
Ling Cang hesitated: "I..."
"And..." Shen Fanlei continued: "Have you ever thought that when you inherit that wealth, your thoughts may be completely different from what you think now."
"You're right..." Ling Cang nodded heavily: "A person's ambition will change differently at different times."
"Let's take the simplest example. In our grandfather's generation, there were a few years when it was a luxury to have a full meal every day. At that time, many people thought, when can we happily eat every day? Eating rice and white noodles will satisfy you. But today, those people at the beginning are thinking that they have eaten enough. What else can they eat next?" Shen Fanlei smiled and reminded meaningfully. : "This is true for small things, let alone big things."
"I understand what you mean."
Shen Fanlei did not speak anymore. Instead, she picked up a book from the bookshelf. After flipping through a few pages, she scribbled on it with a pen. Then she handed the book to Ling Cang and left the study.
This is a linear version of "Three Kingdoms" annotated by Pei Songzhi. What Shen Fanlei showed Ling Cang was Cao Cao's famous article "Rangxian Ziming Benzhi Ling" included in "Wudi Ji". That is, "Shu Zhi Ling" 》.
Under these words, Shen Fanlei drew a horizontal line: "Gu Shiju is Xiaolian. He is young. He thinks he is not a well-known person in the cave. He is afraid that he will be seen by people in the country as a common fool. He wants to be a county guard. He is good at doing things. Politics and religion. To establish a reputation and make the world know it clearly.", "After the expedition, he became the captain of the capital. He moved to the military academy. He wanted to make meritorious service to the country against thieves. He wanted to be named a marquis and became the general of the Western expedition. Then he inscribed on the tomb and said, "The old expedition of the Han Dynasty" The tomb of General Caohou of the West'. This is his ambition.", "Then he led Yanzhou and defeated 300,000 Yellow Turbans..."
People at that time and later generations called Cao Cao a traitor. This article is an autobiography written by Cao Cao when he was criticized by the world. In this autobiography, Cao Cao made a summary of his life. The core idea is He was expressing his ambition. This ambition was constantly changing until Cao Cao became the most powerful minister in the world.
Anyone who knows the history of the Three Kingdoms knows that the motivation for writing this autobiography was that Cao Cao resigned from several fiefs given by the Han royal family. However, this was just a gesture. The purpose was to calm the material dispute. While surrendering the fiefs, Cao Cao gave himself His son acquired a larger area of land. A few years later, his eldest son Cao Pi became independent on behalf of the Han Dynasty, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and founded the Wei Dynasty.
However, there is no evidence that Cao Cao wanted to conquer the world as soon as he came out of the mountain. There is also no evidence that the first half of his statement in "Shu Zhi Ling" is not true. In other words, his original starting point was very simple. But With the development of the current situation and the continuous improvement of his own status, he finally had the ambition to aspire to the top.
"Treacherous hero..." Ling Cang smiled. He closed the book and put it back on the bookshelf: "I want to be a villain. A traitor and a villain. It seems to be about the same."
When Ling Cang came out of the study, Shen Minglin had already returned. Shen Fanlei didn't say anything. He just winked at Ling Cang playfully.
Shen Minglin didn't mention anything else. He just asked about Ling Cang's recent living situation. Then he told Ling Cang that he must take good care of himself.
Speaking of which, it seems that Shen Minglin should report on his work. After all, Ling Cang is now the major shareholder. Since he didn't mention Century Energy at all, this means that everything is going well. Although he is very busy with various tasks.
However, not everyone was as indifferent as the Shen family's father and daughter. Not two days later, Tong Zhengrong called Ling Cang and asked with great concern: "Did you receive Mr. Zheng's call?"
"Yes. Got it."
"You agreed."
"Still considering."
"What..." Tong Zhengrong originally thought that Ling Cang would agree happily because he had already determined that Ling Cang was a very patriotic person through Century Energy and Modern-class destroyers: "Do you know I know, our country is facing a very critical situation right now, and you can contribute. I really can’t understand why you still need to think about it..."
"What kind of critical situation have we encountered?" Ling Cang scratched his head. He just felt that Haiyanheqing was singing and singing everywhere recently. Except for the skyrocketing prices, it didn't seem like anything big had happened.
"Don't you understand economics very well? Don't you know how severe the inflation has been recently?"
"Of course I know. The egg-filled pancakes in our canteen have increased from two yuan to three yuan each, and they are also smaller." Thinking of the recent soaring numbers, Ling Cang felt very helpless: "And... we The water, electricity and gas bills in the apartment have also collectively increased. Students who drive are always complaining that the price of gas is too high..."
"What I'm talking about now is a macro-level issue. How do you use the bits and pieces of life to make an issue."
"How can you call it a piece of cake?" Ling Cang didn't like hearing this sentence a little bit. He retorted: "I think the feelings of ordinary citizens in real life are more meaningful than any macro-level numbers. They are noisy in the news every day. It is said that our GDP has surpassed that of Japan. Some people are stupid and calculated how many years it will take to surpass country M. But the income of the people has not increased. The percentage of wages in GDP is the lowest in the world. It still takes several decades of net income. Go buy a house... In this case, even if the country's GDP surpasses Mars, it has nothing to do with the people..."
Tong Zhengrong was stunned. On the one hand, no one dared to swear in front of him. On the other hand, he had no way to refute. After a while, he said in a daze: "What you said is all nonsense." Something..."
"This is a mess. It's the real reality."
If it were anyone else, Tong Zhengrong would have lost his temper a long time ago. But Ling Cang is very valuable after all, so he could only endure it: "I don't want to talk to you about this. I just want to tell you that now we are facing a very serious threat. ………”
