Rebirth of the Rising Sun

The touching scene at the airport happened again in the Zhao family courtyard.

When Zhao Lirong saw the two elderly people, Zhao Mingyuan and He Jiayu, standing at the gate of the courtyard she had not seen for a long time, she ran out of the car as fast as she could and knelt down at the gate to kowtow to her parents. "Mom and Dad, the unfilial daughter is back."

The fifteenth day of this day was destined to be a family reunion. At night, Zhao Wanyong, the eldest son of the Zhao family, who served as deputy captain of the newly established Hong Kong garrison, and Zhao Lishu, the second daughter who had become a member of the Standing Committee and deputy mayor of Hangzhou City, Jiangxi Province, also rushed back home. At this point, the Zhao family was truly reunited.

At the wine table, Zhao Mingyuan was filled with emotion as he watched his two sons and three daughters finally gather around him. Of course, what made him even happier was that the Zhao family finally had hope, because Feng Sizhe's appearance made him see the future of the Zhao family, and it was also because of Feng Sizhe's appearance that the Zhao family could be reunited.

As the only one of the third generation of the Zhao family who could sit at the wine table, Feng Sizhe looked at the people at the table and his thoughts were indeed different from those of others.

He was the only one who was calmly looking at the overall strength of the Zhao family.

My grandfather, Zhao Mingyuan, is currently the Minister of General Armaments, one of the four headquarters of the People's Liberation Army. He has the opportunity to join the Military Commission next year and become a member of the Military Commission. He will also hold high the banner of the Zhao family for a long time.

My grandmother, He Jiayu, is a retired cadre of the All-China Women's Federation and has basically no influence.

My uncle, Zhao Wanyong, had just been transferred from the Capital Rapid Reaction Division to the newly established Hong Kong Garrison, where he was appointed as deputy battalion commander and a full-time department head. Looking ahead, it would be easy to be promoted to deputy minister, but it would be a difficult and tortuous process to be promoted to full minister.

My second uncle, Zhao Wangang, is the director of the Security Division of the Security Bureau of the Eighth Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, and is a high-ranking deputy director. This position is rising to the deputy director of the Security Bureau, and then to the director. It is unknown when this will happen.

Second Aunt Zhao Lishu, Deputy Mayor of Hangtong City, Jiangwu Province, with a rank of Deputy Director. If Second Aunt, who does not have much ability, had not been promoted to a female cadre, it is hard to say whether she could have become a member of the Municipal Party Committee. In short, as a woman, she is not very suitable for politics. However, she is also the only cadre of the Zhao family working in the local area besides Feng Sizhe.

My aunt Zhao Lizhu is the director of the Second Division of the Personnel Department of the Central Propaganda Department. She has been in this position for seven years. To be honest, she didn't want to do it anymore. If she wasn't afraid of her father Zhao Mingyuan getting angry, she would have gone abroad to find her elder sister Zhao Lirong. It can be said that she is also a person who can't help the Zhao family politically.

The above are the real strengths of the Zhao family. It looks so pitiful. Although it is much stronger than ordinary families, if you want to gain a foothold in Kyoto with these, it is obviously harder than climbing to the sky. There is still a long way to go in the future. Otherwise, with these strengths, you will still be powerless to fight back when facing the Wen family's attack in the future. Fortunately, it took him less than seven years to complete the transformation from nothing to deputy director. This speed is already very fast, but Feng Sizhe himself knows that when he reaches his current position, it will not be so easy to leave in the future.

It is not as easy for a deputy department-level official to be promoted as it is for a disciplinary department. Anyone who reaches this position is either capable or has a background. In short, there are fewer people who are completely useless, and even fewer who just muddle through. This means that the competitive pressure he faces is naturally much greater. Under such circumstances, how can he stand out and complete the process of promotion to a higher level? He really needs to use his brain and make a lot of efforts. Fortunately, he has a clear idea of ​​the future trend. This is Feng Sizhe's biggest advantage. In addition, he has laid a foundation and has established relationships with several powerful families in Kyoto. Although they are not very reliable, they are better than nothing. If there is a chance, these people may also speak for themselves. Under such an advantage, how to operate better depends on Feng Sizhe himself.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, the first day of work for all government agencies across the country, Feng Sizhe invited his mother and a group of people to the Foreign Bank Preparatory Bureau located in the State Council. In his office, Feng Sizhe asked his mother to sit on the VIP sofa.

"Wow, the conditions are pretty good." When Feng Sizhe asked He Wenbao and others to take Dong Jie and her group around for a tour, the mother and daughter could finally have a good chat.

Yesterday in the Zhao Mansion's courtyard, the mother and daughter didn't have a chance to have a good chat. Zhao Lirong was first pestered by her parents, then she chatted with her brother and sister for a long time, and finally went to Feng Sizhe's place to see his pregnant daughter-in-law. So she stayed there until very late, and the two of them never had a chance to have a good chat.

Feng Sizhe gently closed the door of his office, then turned to Zhao Lirong and said, "Of course. Mom, you don't know that my office is well-furnished among the agencies under the State Council. You also know that this is an external agency, and it is a place that brings honor to the country. How can the facilities be too bad? Besides, this is a place to welcome celebrities on the world's rich list. If the specifications are too low, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"

"Come on." Seeing that her son was still being so unruly even though he was already a director, Zhao Lirong smiled at him, then her face slowly became serious, "Son, talk to me, are you really going to take this path in China? You know, if you want, then Tang Sheng International will be yours. It's much more comfortable here than living under someone else's roof."

"Mom, who said I'm living under someone else's roof? How do you know that I won't have a chance to make a breakthrough? You've already seen the situation at home. Grandpa is getting older and older. The future of the Zhao family will need to rely on me. My uncles and my second aunt and my second aunt are not such people. Do you think that if I don't help grandpa, will he be happy in his later years? Haha, so you don't have to worry about it. Don't worry. Tangsheng Company is my retreat. If one day I really can't make it here, I will naturally come to you, mom." Feng Sizhe laughed and answered Zhao Lirong's questions.

Seeing that his son has grown up and is about to become a father, it is time for him to have his own opinions. Since he likes this business, just let him do it, as long as he is happy. "Okay, no matter what you do, mom will support you. So tell me, if this foreign bank is successful, will you have many political achievements? Will this be good for your future development?"

"Of course, it's not only beneficial to me personally, but also to the motherland. How much money does Mom plan to invest in advance this time?" When talking about business, Feng Sizhe became excited. Although he had come up with many ideas for the current Tangsheng Company, he still had no idea how much liquidity the company actually had.

"So the more you invest, the more confident you will be? And the greater your contribution will be?" Zhao Lirong did not directly say how much money she would invest, but asked her son tentatively in this tone.

"That's right. Of course the more investment the better. The more money you invest, the better things will be." Feng Sizhe nodded. The central leaders have basically reached a consensus on the establishment of foreign-funded banks. Now it depends on how much foreign investment can be attracted this time. This is a concern for all those who care about this matter.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll tell you a number and see if it's enough." Zhao Lirong thought for a moment and then held up two fingers. This was a number she had thought of before coming here.

"Two hundred million?" Feng Sizhe asked softly when he saw the number his mother held out. Two hundred million was not a small amount in 1996. Although it was not a large amount in the investment banking industry, it was not something that ordinary people could come up with. You have to know that not everyone has confidence in this thing. If you invest too much in the early stage, you may face the possibility of a collapse. In other words, no matter how much you invest, you may not get much. In fact, two hundred million is not a small amount of money under the cautious approach.

"Guessing?" Zhao Lirong couldn't help but laugh at how timid her son was, then shook a finger and continued speaking.

"Impossible? Two billion?" Feng Sizhe thought that with his mother's current status, it was impossible for her to come all the way back to China for only 20 million. This was unrealistic. So, other than this number, could it be two billion? If so, wasn't it a bit too much?

"Haha, it's 2 billion US dollars. What do you think?" Zhao Lirong couldn't help laughing when she saw her son's surprised expression. It was a rare thing to see such a smart son lose his composure.

"What? So much?" Upon hearing the number his mother said, Feng Sizhe stood up from his chair. Two billion US dollars means 16 billion RMB. To be honest, this number was something he had never thought of before. He thought that his mother might invest more money to support him, but he didn't expect her to come up with so much at once.

"It's a lot. Didn't you say it before? This is just the initial investment. As long as it's managed well and can bring in profits, I can still invest. Besides, what are you surprised about? All this money was earned by you with your advice. After I had the basic capital, I realized that it is easy for rich people to make money. When you have a lot of working capital, countless people will come to you with countless good projects. My task at that time is to review these projects and find a project that I believe can make money. As a result, my money is getting more and more. Haha, are you surprised, my dear son?" Zhao Lirong simply explained why she had so much money.
