Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.
Chapter 218, the family genealogy on a single page, truly is the ultimate temptation for men.
Since Li Xiaofeng's Wanzhong Media acquired the Wei family's advertising company, Wanzhong Media has begun to dominate the domestic LCD screen business.
Mr. You's Hezhong Media has fallen far behind in terms of both the number of LCD screens and the volume of its advertising business.
However, Li Xiaofeng did not let his guard down, but continued to invest the funds he had in the expansion of the LCD screen business.
Currently, Wanzhong Media's advertising revenue has exceeded 4 million yuan, and its net profit has exceeded 1.3 million yuan. Therefore, in addition to the 4 million yuan raised in the last round of financing, he has invested all of the company's net profit into it.
Huang Hao and Huang Jing, the brother and sister, made a great contribution to the Wei family's matter. Li Xiaofeng rewarded them with 50,000 yuan each and also reserved two reserve positions for them as gym managers.
Let the two of them work under other directors for a while, and once they are able to operate independently, they will be sent to Li Xiaofeng's new museum after it opens.
He has taken stock of his assets and found that his net worth this year is still around 500 million yuan. Although he has already misappropriated 300 million yuan to produce TV series, he should still be able to preserve the capital of this investment.
Therefore, based on the gym's profitability last year, Li Xiaofeng wants to maximize the use of his funds and can probably open another fifteen to twenty stores.
Of course, to be on the safe side, Li Xiaofeng's current goal is to open ten more stores this year. After all, in addition to money, opening a store also requires human resources and is subject to certain restrictions.
Looking at the large pile of money in their hands, Huang Hao and Huang Jing were extremely excited. However, after a while, Huang Hao hesitated.
Li Xiaofeng asked in confusion, "Huang Hao, what's wrong? You don't think the money is too little, do you?"
Huang Hao quickly shook his head, while Huang Jing hurriedly explained, "President Li, please don't misunderstand. My brother and I have never seen so much money before. How could we possibly think it's not enough? It's just that we have some family matters to attend to, and my brother needs to go back home!"
"What's wrong?" Li Xiaofeng asked curiously.
Huang Jing said indignantly, "Someone wants to requisition our land to build a factory, but instead of just requisitioning land, they have to take away our Huang family's ancestral hall."
"Our Huang family ancestral hall has stood for hundreds of years. Why should you just raz it to the ground? If it were the government building a road, that would be understandable, but you're building a factory to make money. Can't you find another place?"
Huang Hao also said indignantly, "I heard that it's going to be a chemical plant. If they build it, how will the land around the chemical plant be cultivated? How will the local people live?"
Therefore, several elders of our Huang family were enraged. They beat drums to gather their forces, summoning all Huang family members, both those at home and those living elsewhere, to draw lots and select daredevils to fight those who dared to demolish our ancestral hall.
The clan elders said that whoever draws the draw will have their name added to a separate section of the family genealogy, and during ancestral worship ceremonies, their tablet will be placed at the front to receive the first incense offering, and the entire clan will provide for them, young and old.
Li Xiaofeng was somewhat taken aback after hearing this, and then asked with some emotion, "You're willing to go back for something like this? Why don't you stay? Just say you're too busy working out of town and can't get away!"
"Mr. Li, you must be joking. How could I, Huang Hao, miss such a great opportunity to bring honor to my ancestors? Even if I had to ride a bicycle, I would rush back now that transportation is so advanced and trains and cars are so convenient!"
Besides, my siblings and I weren't doing very well to begin with. It was only thanks to your help, Mr. Li, that we got decent jobs. If we didn't go back for something like this, our parents and relatives would be gossiped about and we'd be too ashamed to face them!
Huang Jing looked at her brother with admiration, then turned to Li Xiaofeng and said, "Mr. Li, thank you for giving my brother this opportunity, but even if it's wasted, my brother still has to go back. After all, the Huang family blood flows in his veins."
If it weren't for the fact that I'm a girl and can't help much at home, and these things don't really require a woman's involvement, I would definitely have gone back with my brother!
Li Xiaofeng was an orphan and couldn't understand so many emotions, let alone the strong clan concepts and ancestral beliefs, but he respected these things very much.
After all, anything that people are willing to risk their lives to protect, whatever it may be, deserves respect, just like nature and life itself.
Li Xiaofeng smiled and patted Huang Hao on the shoulder, took a deep breath, and said with a touch of emotion, "I am an orphan, so I may not be able to understand your feelings, but I respect you."
Also, don't worry, when you come back, I'll still reserve a position for you as the curator. That's all I'll say. Just be careful and stay safe!
"Thank you, Mr. Li!"
"Thank you, Mr. Li!"
The brother and sister were extremely grateful to Li Xiaofeng, and the next day, Huang Hao boarded the train home.
However, to Li Xiaofeng's surprise, Huang Hao returned to his hometown after only half a month, looking dejected.
Li Xiaofeng asked him curiously, "What's wrong? How's the matter with your Huang family going?"
Huang Hao said with a long face, "I'm so angry! I finally made it back, but not only did I not get a spot in the lottery, those despicable guys saw that things were not going well and canceled the land acquisition for our side!"
Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing? Your parents raised you and your siblings with great difficulty, and now you two are doing quite well. Isn't it good to live peacefully and safely?"
Huang Hao said angrily, "What's so good about it? I didn't get a spot in the lottery. It must have been those guys in the clan who sabotaged it. There must be something fishy going on here. My dad slapped me several times because of this and called me a useless idiot!"
Later, I and a few other brothers who also didn't win the lottery discussed it and decided to follow those who did win. If something really happened, would the elders really treat us badly?
We didn't expect much, we just wanted a separate page in the family genealogy, but who knew those guys would chicken out and cancel the land requisition without giving us any chance at all!
Well, I had no choice but to take the bus back!
Haha, having a separate page for the family tree is truly the ultimate temptation for men.
"It's not easy to come home, so it would be good to stay a few more days!"
"Don't even mention it! They say distance makes things better, but close proximity makes things worse. I didn't believe it before, but now I really do!"
For the first few days after I got home, my parents were quite nice to me, but then things changed. Later, they complained that I was just loafing around at home and sent me back to earn money!
Li Xiaofeng was about to say a few words of comfort to him when Huang Hao sighed and said, "When I was a kid, my dad used to beat me all the time. I always thought he had picked me up. Now I realize that I really am his biological son!"
