Chapter 1322 – Worries

After boarding the Leader’s car, the car drove towards a place surrounded by armed guards.

“Manager Feng, what would you like to drink?” The Leader asked with a smile.

“Anything. Plain water is fine.”

“Then let’s have some red tea with me. The weather had become cold now, and hot tea will warm our body.”

Feng Yu is surprised to see the Leader pouring tea for him. Although it’s just normal tea, it symbolized a lot.

Feng Yu received the teacup with both hands. “Thank you.”

“Manager Feng, I should be the one thanking you. I am thanking you on behalf of China for your contributions.” The Leader said and bowed slightly.

Putting the Leader’s status aside, he is old enough to be Feng Yu’s grandfather. Feng Yu cannot accept his bow.

Feng Yu quickly stand up and step aside. “Leader, please don’t do this.”

“Have a seat. Do you smoke?”

“I seldom smoke.”

“Oh, you are always flying to the US, and I think you should like cigars. I have some cigars with me. Do you want to try?”

Feng Yu accepted the cigar and started cutting and roasting it before passing it to the Leader. After that, he does the same for the second cigar.

Feng Yu had done this out of respect for an old man who had devoted his whole life to the country. If he is in this Leader’s position, he will never be as good as him.

Many netizens had complained about the country’s policies. But if you put them in the leader’s position, they might not know what to do.

Feng Yu knows about politics but is not good at it. If politics and the economy are not related, he would not even care about it.

If Feng Yu has the time to worry about politics, he might as well do something useful. Look at all those Leaders. Which one of them is slim? They must eat all sorts of tonics to supplement their health, and Feng Yu does not want to experience that!

“Manager Feng, you had made significant contributions to our country. I had asked those engineers, and they said our aircraft carrier developments could speed up by three to five years with the technologies you bought!”

Feng Yu felt speeding up the developments by three years for 3 billion USD is worth it.

“We will be equipping our training aircraft carriers’ hulk with these technologies, and we will have our aircraft carrier soon. Our Navy will become much stronger.”

With a stronger Navy, China will be much stronger, and it’s the economy will get better.

In the past, pirates had been targeting Chinese ships. But after China’s Navy got stronger, they will have to think twice.

Also, China’s say in Asia will become stronger, and Taiwan will not create any problems.

Taiwan’s economy had not been doing well these few years. Their leaders had been visiting the US and the United Nations. This made China very angry.

One day is enough for China to occupy Taiwan. After all, Taiwan is small, and its military cannot be compared to China.

But China does not want to do this as the US and other countries will not sit back and watch this happen. Another reason is they are also Chinese.

However, China does not want to see that Taiwanese Leaders continue to create problems. After China’s aircraft carrier is ready and with economic sanctions, Taiwan will be more obedient.

Taiwan will know who is the one that is good for them. The US and Japan will never make any sacrifices for them.

“Good to know that. I don’t know about all these technologies or politics. I only know how to make some money.”

“Hahaha... who else in the world can make money as good as you? Our country lacks people like you.”

Feng Yu smiled and did not say anything.

“You had asked the state fund to invest in gold futures some time ago. We had made some profits, but the profits are not as high as you. Have you considered helping the country to head our state-owned investment institution?”

It is this topic again, and Feng Yu has some hesitations.

“Leader, I don’t mind donating money to the country, but I have my worries if you want me to manage our state funds.”

“What worries do you have? Tell me! I will settle it for you!” The Leader waved his hand as he said this.

“Investments have risk, and it will not be a problem if I make money for the country. But what if there are losses? What will people say? They will say I am filling my pockets with the public funds, creating the country’s assets, etc.”

“Just look at this transaction. After news of the contracts I signed is released, what did the netizens say? They scolded me for being stupid to spend more than 6 billion USD for mines and selling them to a Russian company at a loss of more than 1 billion USD. They scolded me for worshiping the west and even accused me of funding our enemies.”

Netizens like to criticize others, and most of them have grudges against the wealthy. Most of them will dream of striking the lottery and becoming rich overnight.

Feng Yu had made significant contributions to the country, and everyone will benefit from it. But some people will complain about him not donating to them. They are poor and were rejected by Feng Yu when they asked for donations.

Some people said Feng Yu’s assets are not from legal sources and must be in cahoots with corrupted officials. There are even rumors about Feng Yu being the illegitimate son, grandson, etc., of XXX’s leader.

Feng Yu is speechless about these people. Although he had asked his men to ban these accounts, new accounts will continue to appear.

The more you ignore these people, the more rumors they will start. Many netizens like to imagine things and believe what they want.

The Leader becomes quiet after what Feng Yu said.

When the State assets invest, they will also suffer losses, and they can accept Feng Yu for making losses. They are confident he can recover the losses in the future.

But there is no way for the government to stop Feng Yu’s worries. Feng Yu’s status is different, and no leaders from the state assets are hired from outside. There will be strong objections to it.

“Then let’s put this aside for now. Let’s talk about this transaction. The country will not forget about what you did this time, and we will be offering Tai Hua Holdings three years tax exemptions and two years 50% tax subsidies to repay you.”

“Do you have any other request? Tell me.” The Leader dares to say this because he knows Feng Yu will not make any ridiculous demands.

Feng Yu smiled. “Thank you. I don’t have any request.”
