If you want to be a good person, find Huadi

After Liu Yi finished his presentation, everyone began a discussion. This time, the focus was on the business direction each person was responsible for. As a time traveler, Liu Yi had a clear understanding and grasp of future development trends, and was able to offer many valuable opinions and suggestions. Some of these suggestions were beyond their current understanding, but out of trust in Huadi, they decided to adopt them.

After a lively discussion about future development, Liu Yi asked He Xin to make an important announcement. He Xin stood up, glanced around, and solemnly declared, "After consultation between the Alliance Leader and our three leaders, the Hua Alliance has decided to grant each member an interest-free loan to support their business development. If this amount is insufficient, members can apply for additional funding from our three leaders. However, there is a prerequisite: each member's business development strategy must be approved by Hua Di." As He Xin finished speaking, a buzz erupted in the room, with everyone whispering and discussing. With the exception of He Xin and Guo Yingnan, everyone present was considered poor. Even Lei Luo was poor compared to them. Having an interest-free loan to support their business development was a huge advantage. With Hua Di's support and the support of He Xin and Guo Yingnan, it was easy to make money, solving everyone's financial problems.

Thus concluded the Huameng's first meeting. Though hastily convened and held in a hospital ward, it established a solid direction for the Huameng's development. From then on, the Huameng, a seemingly loose yet deeply cohesive civil society organization, began to flourish globally. Forced by Guo Yingnan and He Xin to recuperate for a week in the hospital, Liu Yi was forced to spend the next week in Guo Yingnan's exclusive, luxurious ward. While admittedly far more comfortable than Huadi's humble attic, Liu Yi was troubled by the doctor's prohibition against strenuous exercise. Nevertheless, Liu Yi persisted in his Xingyiquan practice and continued to review his lessons.

At ten o'clock in the morning on the third day after Liu Yi's hospitalization, Long Jiajun and Zhang Huashao came to visit Liu Yi. "I'm so glad to see you're safe and sound. If something had happened in my office, I wouldn't know how I would have explained it to Mr. Guo," Long Jiajun said apologetically upon seeing Huadi.

"My fainting is none of your business, and I'm grateful for saving your life. There's no need for us to be so polite," Huadi said with a sincere smile. However, this left Long Jiajun somewhat bewildered, and he asked, "Saving my life?" He pondered the question, unsure why, but since Huadi didn't continue the conversation, he didn't ask any further.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious. Long Jiajun finally stated the purpose of his visit: "Huadi, we only talked halfway in my office last time. This time I came here to finish the rest." Huadi readily agreed: "Of course, no problem, Jun brother, even if you don't come to see me, I will come to see you after you are discharged from the hospital. First, tell me what changes have taken place in your Long family over the past two days."

"Just yesterday, our Long Group underwent a major change, which can be said to be an 'earthquake'. Through two days of detailed audits, I found many serious problems. Therefore, yesterday I decisively fired a group of people headed by Mike, most of whom were relatives on my mother's side. Although there is no guarantee that everyone in the current Long Group is honest and upright, at least similar problems will not occur in the business again. So, I came here today to discuss with you how to cooperate with the Guo Group." Long Jiajun answered seriously.

"Okay, Jun, I have an idea. First, I'm going to call a friend over. He'll be one of the key executors of this project." With that, Liu Yi immediately called Lin Kun, urging him to rush to the hospital. After hanging up, Liu Yi continued, "As I said before, the most profitable direction for foreign trade is to support factories in mainland China to produce products needed for the international market. We can act as middlemen and earn the difference. At the same time, we can also purchase goods and technologies needed by mainland China from international sources and resell them to mainland Chinese companies. However, I've thought about this over the past two days and realized this isn't the best approach. So, we need to change our thinking."

"Change your thinking?" Long Jiajun asked with some confusion.

"Yes, let's change our thinking. The business of reselling is too simple. The current production costs of mainland factories are too low. Although we can use the least amount of money to purchase enough products to earn the difference, it is difficult for us to make fine control over the quality of the products. The biggest problem is that if we only resell, we will not be able to reap the dividends of the mainland's booming development." Liu Yi said seriously.

He continued his analysis, "I believe that in ten years at most, products produced by mainland enterprises will be sold worldwide. By then, the mainland will truly become the world's factory. By then, countless smart people will be eyeing this piece of the pie, and our profits will drop significantly before that happens. Therefore, the best approach is for us to build factories in the mainland or acquire some factories and enterprises there to establish our own brand. This way, we can not only guarantee the quality of our products, but also better grasp market demand and trends, thereby improving our competitiveness."

Having said that, Liu Yi looked at Long Jiajun, expecting his response.

While Long Jiajun was still thinking, Zhang Huashao spoke: "Mr. Long, actually before this, I have proposed to Mike the suggestion that we invest and build a factory in the mainland, but he rejected it. However, now that Mr. Liu mentioned this matter again, it fully demonstrates that building a factory in the mainland is a very correct decision." After saying this, he kept staring at Long Jiajun.

As a seasoned businessman with years of experience, Long Jiajun understood that Huadi and Huashao's suggestions were sound. However, he still harbored a lingering concern: uncertainty about mainland China's policies. Despite numerous trips to the mainland for research, his understanding was incomplete due to Mike's obstruction, leaving him somewhat hesitant.

"Hua Di, I believe your suggestion is correct, but the question is, can the current development policy of the mainland be sustained? If there are policy changes in the future, how should we respond? You know, building a factory is not something that can be done overnight, and the investment in the factory is huge. I must explain it clearly to the shareholders and take responsibility." Long Jiajun said worriedly.

"Brother Jun, first of all, I can assure you that the mainland's reform and opening-up policies will remain unchanged and will gradually improve and become better. The mainland's development will also continue to improve. You can rest assured about this. Secondly, you mentioned investment. My idea is that you, Long Jiajun, leave your Long Group and form a new industrial group with us to handle mainland business. I only trust you as a person. As for your other relatives and shareholders, I don't trust them. Our future industry scale will exceed one trillion yuan, so from the beginning, we must have trustworthy people." Liu Yi looked at Long Jiajun seriously, his eyes gleaming with determination. His voice was low and powerful, as if every word carried a heavy weight.

Long Jiajun frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "You guys?"

Liu Yi smiled slightly, nodded gently, and then slowly said: "The Guo family, Lei Luo, the Xuan family, and some other friends." His tone was calm and confident.

Hearing these names, Long Jiajun was startled. He had assumed only the Guo family would support Huadi, but he was surprised to find that Lei Luo and the Xuan family were also Huadi's backers. He fell into deep thought, reassessing the situation. He wasn't worried about these people failing to accomplish anything, but rather that they could definitely accomplish something if they united. He was concerned about the apparent ties between these families. How would the Long family cope in the future? What if someone from one of those families plotted to seize their assets?
