Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

While Li Xiaofeng and Tang Shanshan were still studying the group's strategic plan, Li Xiaofeng suddenly received a call from Secretary Li, who said that there was a project he wanted to discuss in detail, but it was inconvenient to talk on the phone.

Hearing Secretary Li speak so solemnly, Li Xiaofeng immediately booked a private room in a luxury hotel to receive Secretary Li.

"Mr. Li, you're too kind. However, your hospitality standards are a bit out of line with regulations!"

Li Xiaofeng greeted him with a smile and said in a slightly familiar tone, "Secretary Li, I'm not one of your system personnel, so why are there so many regulations?"

In our Li Group, my rule is that since you're here as a guest, you should follow the host's lead. Besides, with our many years of friendship, this little bit of food and drink is nothing!

Secretary Li shook his head helplessly: "You brat, I, Li, have adhered to principles for most of my life, but today I've been corrupted by you!"

"Your principles are too high. If having a meal is considered corruption, then are there any leaders in our country who haven't been corrupted?"

"You can't say that. Having high principles is a good thing. With high principles, you can take a more relaxed view of material pursuits and focus more on spiritual pursuits. At least you won't be easily dragged down by rich people like you."

Li Xiaofeng said with a grin, "That's right. Otherwise, you wouldn't be the leader. But I'm just an ordinary person. I've been used to a hard life since I was a child. Now that I finally have some money, I'm definitely going to enjoy myself."

"When I've enjoyed life to the fullest, perhaps I'll be able to reach your level of spiritual pursuit."

Secretary Li pointed at Li Xiaofeng and said with a look of annoyance, "You little rascal, you're full of tricks and a womanizer. You're already in your thirties and you're still wandering around all day. You don't even know how to settle down and start a family."

"How can I not be married? The Li Group is my home. Don't you people in the system have a saying, 'Sacrifice the small family for the greater good'? Since I can't have a small family, I'll at least have a big family!"

Secretary Li rolled her eyes at him, somewhat exasperated, and said, "Let me tell you, I don't care if you mess with other people, but if you dare to mess with my daughter, you'll be sorry!"

"What are you saying, Secretary Li? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would be indiscriminate in my choices? Besides, Qiu Xia has always looked down on me. Don't worry, she definitely wouldn't be interested in me!"

"Who knows? I'm starting to suspect you gave her some kind of love potion. She used to say a lot of bad things about you, but ever since the Jingwei incident, her impression of you has changed a lot. Sometimes she even praises you!"

"This doesn't prove anything. At most, it just means she misunderstood me too much before, and now she understands me better. After all, I'm not such a bad person!"

“It depends on your perspective. From an entrepreneur’s point of view, you’ve done a great job. But from a father’s point of view, I would love to beat you to death.”

"Secretary Li, your thinking is outdated. We live in a new era now. It's normal for men and women to have their own ideas and choices. As long as they don't break the law, you shouldn't interfere too much."

Take it easy. What truly matters to your children? It's not about what you think is best, but what your children feel is best. That's what's truly good. Times are changing, ideas are evolving, and you need to keep up with the times!

"Don't try to fool me. I'm not as easily fooled as young people. I'm not criticizing you, but this is irresponsible towards girls."

You're surrounded by so many girls, and you've even had children with some of them, yet you don't register your marriages with them. You're just keeping them hanging on like this, in this ambiguous relationship. Aren't you ashamed?"

"That's why I say you're old-fashioned. They're willing to follow me, it's a mutual decision, so what's there to be embarrassed about? There are many other people who want to follow me, but I don't want them to!"

Besides, you feel sorry for the girl who's with me, but who feels sorry for me? I worked so hard to earn billions in assets, and half of them were taken away by a woman with just a piece of paper. Why should I?

The modern marriage system was designed on the basis of gender equality, but the reality of society is that it is stratified, which inevitably creates many loopholes.

Now that the system has been reformed to reduce the gap between people and allow some to get rich first in order to develop the economy, then don't blame those of us who got rich first for exploiting loopholes.

Actually, this is something you've gradually relaxed. In the past, cohabitation before marriage was illegal, and there was even a crime of hooliganism. But now it's been gradually relaxed!

What word should I use to describe it? Oh, right, civilization. It means society has become more civilized, right? Since society has become more civilized and advanced, as a leader, you shouldn't hinder civilization and progress, right?

Secretary Li was speechless and said impatiently, "Alright, alright, I knew you had a lot of tricks up your sleeve. You're just being unreasonable."

"It's a good thing you didn't get into the system. If someone like you had managed to sneak in, you would have made a complete mess of things!"

Li Xiaofeng said with a grin, "Don't worry, I definitely won't be able to get into the system in this life, but who knows about the next life? Maybe I'll get into the system and stir things up."

"Alright, I'm not going to fight you anymore, let's get down to business!"

"Just tell me what you need. You know my personality; I don't like beating around the bush. If I can help, I definitely won't refuse!"

Secretary Li seemed hesitant, coughed lightly, but did not speak immediately.

"What's wrong? Is this difficult?" Li Xiaofeng asked curiously.

Secretary Li took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a serious and earnest tone: "It's like this, a chip foundry in the Bay Area went bankrupt, and their engineering team came to the mainland to find partners."

"Oh, that's a good thing! Chip foundries are a high-tech industry, one of the industries our country lacks most. We should find a way to keep them here!"

"Sigh, the main problem is that their conditions are too harsh. In addition to offering them high salaries, their engineering team also wants to invest 20 billion yuan."

In addition, they also want to have the right to operate and manage the factory. Isn't that the same as us investing in them so they can make money?

Furthermore, the technology they brought is not the most advanced chip manufacturing process in the world. The most advanced process that can be mass-produced in the world is 28 nanometers.

But the process technologies they brought us are 65nm and 90nm, and even a certain domestic chipmaker has already achieved mass production of 40nm process technology.
