Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

"Uncle Liu, what have I done to deserve your trust?"

Seeing the expectant look in Liu Fu's eyes, Meng Chuan forced a wry smile and said:

"But Uncle Liu, I really can't agree to this. Please don't make things difficult for me."

Upon hearing this, Liu Fu and Liu Qian's eyes widened instantly, their faces filled with disbelief.

Keep in mind, the Liu Group is worth a full eight billion!

This is practically like giving it to Meng Chuan for free.

As long as Meng Chuan controls 70% of the shares in the Liu Group, he will be the one with the final say within the group.

This is simply a huge piece of fat meat, right there in front of us.

Meng Chuan remained completely unmoved, which was quite unexpected for them.

While Liu Fu and Liu Qian were still standing there, stunned and speechless, Meng Chuan cleared his throat and began to explain:

"Just like Teacher Liu said, the Liu Group was built by you, brick by brick, with your own hard work."

“It is immoral of me to pick the fruit.”

"Moreover, the Liu Group is all about manufacturing. If I take over, it would be like forcibly pulling it onto the path of capital investment, which would not be conducive to the group's future development."

Meng Chuan paused, his gaze becoming profound, as if he could see into the future, and then said:

“Uncle Liu, if you trust me, take my advice. Don’t be fooled by the fact that it seems like you can make quick money through the internet, finance, stocks, and other such superficial things. Everyone is rushing to make that quick money, thinking they can easily make a fortune.”

"But this is all just a temporary frenzy, like a bubble that looks pretty but bursts as soon as you poke it."

Meng Chuan is telling the truth.

In 2014, many entrepreneurs were feeling lost.

Some companies may seem glamorous, but thousands or even tens of thousands of employees toil away all year round.

After the final accounting, the annual profit was only a few million to tens of millions.

Some young girls can easily earn hundreds of millions of yuan by simply twirling their waists and showing their arms and legs online.

It seems like a huge waste, and it's also quite enviable.

That was Liu Fu's mindset at that moment.

He worked hard for most of his life to build up his assets of eight billion.

With a flick of his finger, Meng Chuan received over 20 billion yuan.

But only Meng Chuan knew that the real economy was the backbone of the country's economy.

This point is undeniable.

Take, for example, when Trump took office in 2017, he immediately called for the return of manufacturing.

It is clear that industry is the key to success, and it is the foundation that can never be replaced or eliminated.

Whether it's the internet or finance, they're all castles in the air.

It looks good, but without the support of real industry, it will collapse sooner or later.

"But……"

Liu Fu frowned, still somewhat unwilling, and opened his mouth as if to try to persuade him again.

"Uncle Liu, please let me finish."

Meng Chuan quickly interrupted him, then changed the subject mysteriously, saying:

"There is still great potential in the real economy, but the time is not right yet."

"As for the issue of succession, you and Teacher Liu have always thought that Liu Dong is an incompetent playboy who does nothing but fool around all day and has no sense of propriety."

"But in my opinion, it's quite the opposite!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qian, who had been silent until now, immediately interrupted:

"You don't need to defend that bastard. He's my own brother, I know him better than anyone!"

"They started dating in junior high school. If it weren't for my supervision during those three years of high school, who knows how many ridiculous things they would have done."

As Liu Qian spoke, she was fuming, clearly harboring deep resentment towards Liu Dong.

Liu Fu listened from the side and nodded repeatedly, expressing his deep agreement.

Meng Chuan laughed and asked in return:

"Hehe, so Mr. Liu, do you really think he was well-behaved and obedient during these three years in your class?"

“At least during his three years at school, he didn’t dare to do anything out of line.”

Liu Qian replied matter-of-factly, raising her chin slightly, clearly feeling that she had made a significant contribution.

"No, no, no, Teacher Liu, that's just your opinion!"

“Liu Dong is not a well-behaved person, even under your strict supervision. For example, he can enter and leave the school as easily as he would go home.”

"This is impossible!"

Liu Qian rejected the idea without even thinking about it.

"Why is that impossible? Just a few days before the college entrance exam, he even took me out for KFC, and we enjoyed it so much. Isn't that amazing?"

Meng Chuan raised an eyebrow and asked with amusement.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qian's eyes widened instantly, her face filled with disbelief.

"Moreover, the school has strict regulations on students bringing cell phones. They have to have their bags searched by security guards when they return to school, but Liu Dong manages to bring his cell phone to school smoothly every day."

Meng Chuan continued to reveal more information.

Liu Qian was stunned.

If Liu Dong were here right now, he might fight Meng Chuan to the death.

"Look, he's still doing this right under my nose..."

Liu Qian said angrily.

"No, it is your preconceived notions about him that have blinded you to his true nature."

Meng Chuan interrupted Liu Qian:

“Perhaps you think that Liu Dong’s behavior is disobedient and the behavior of a spoiled brat, but try to think about it from a different perspective.”

Meng Chuan then changed the subject and began to launch into a long, rambling discourse on grand principles:

"As a businessman, especially a qualified industrialist, one cannot be honest and should not follow the rules."

"You have to have the ability to fight your way out of a desperate situation and make things possible when others think it's impossible."

"As long as he has the ability to socialize and manage relationships at all levels properly, then he has the makings of a boss!"

Meng Chuan's words left Liu Fu and Liu Qian speechless, and both of them fell into deep thought.

At that moment, they all suddenly realized that perhaps they had really overlooked Liu Dong!

"Finally, I now own shares in the Liu Group, so I am a part of the group, and I will definitely not abandon the group's affairs in the future."

Meng Chuan patted his chest and assured him:

"Liu Dong and I are good brothers. In the future, he will be in charge of the real economy, and I will be in charge of finance. We will support each other. This is the best way to go in the long run."

Meng Chuan has a clear understanding of himself.

Meng Chuan really has no talent when it comes to management and operations.

His only advantage is that he has the future direction of the next ten years in his mind.

With this ability, he can thrive in the financial field.

But if it comes to running a real business, they're completely clueless.

Meng Chuan's words left Liu Fu speechless.

For a full ten minutes, his brows were so furrowed they could have trapped a fly.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, raised his head, and said:

"Alright! Since you've put it that way, let's not talk about it anymore. Tonight, let's just drink and not think about anything else."

As for what Liu Fu was really thinking, only he himself knew.

But faced with Liu Fu's sudden enthusiasm, Meng Chuan felt embarrassed to refuse.

They immediately started toasting and drinking with Liu Fu.

Meng Chuan's body in this life has never been exposed to alcohol before!

After only a few drinks, he started to feel dizzy.

Looking at Liu Qian, she almost never drinks alcohol.

Today, I don't know if I was shocked by Meng Chuan's words or if I felt a little more guilty towards Liu Dong.

Under her father's enthusiastic encouragement, she unknowingly drank quite a bit.

Before long, their eyes were already glazed over.

Liu Fu was already in a daze.

It was evident that Meng Chuan and his daughter Liu Qian were so drunk that their eyelids could barely stay open.

His eyes suddenly cleared.

“Daughter, your old man has never misjudged anyone in his life. Although this young man is much older than you, he is truly my most satisfactory son-in-law! Whether you can seize this opportunity depends on yourself.”
