Chapter 653 Strong Support

February 8, 1986, Saturday, the New Year's Eve of the Year of the Ox in the lunar calendar.

Wen Leyu started calling home at 5 a.m., and finally got through at 6 a.m.

The time difference between San Francisco and Beijing is 15 hours, so 6 a.m. in the lighthouse is already 3 p.m. in the mainland.

Wen Leyu originally planned to call home in the evening, but Li Ye thought that by then, the calls to Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng to wish a happy new year would probably have to wait in line, and whether Wen Leyu could get through would depend entirely on luck, so it would be better to call earlier.

"Mom, are you busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner? It's not even daybreak here! Li Ye said he wanted to wish you a happy new year."

Teacher Ke smiled and said, "Oh, Li Ye said he wanted to wish me a happy new year, so why don't you wish me a happy new year?"

"I should say Happy New Year to you? Isn't it strange?" Wen Leyu said coquettishly, "You didn't answer my call a few days ago? I was angry. It's good enough that I can call you today."

"Oh, oh, oh, my daughter is angry with me! I have to comfort her, otherwise she won't recognize me as her mother. Oh, I'm so scared. Can you eat dumplings today?"

Facing Wen Leyu's bluffing temper, Teacher Ke was not angry at all. She teased her daughter with a smile. I don't know if she has been waiting for Wen Leyu's call at home today.

"We will go to the University of California to celebrate the New Year with the international students! Li Ye bought a lot of food, so we will definitely have dumplings.

And there will be lion dances in Chinatown tonight! I feel that the Spring Festival here is more lively than in our mainland."

"Are you going to the University of California? That's good too, but when you are in contact with compatriots, you should control your temper. Although we are all flower growers, no one will spoil you like Li Ye when you are overseas."

A mother worries about her son when he is far away. Wen Leyu has been with Teacher Ke since he was a child. This is the first time he has celebrated the New Year outside. Teacher Ke would be lying if he said he didn't miss him.

The young couple has money in their pockets, so they are definitely not short of food and clothing, but the interaction between people is the most complicated and most likely to cause emergencies, so Teacher Ke began to patiently advise.

Wen Leyu listened to her mother's nagging quietly, and was not as impatient as before. Instead, she waited until Teacher Ke stopped talking, then sniffed and said, "Mom, I miss you a little bit."

"."

Teacher Ke, who had seen countless big scenes, could not help but remain silent for several seconds.

"Silly, mom misses you too."

Teacher Ke sighed and turned to comfort: "But even if I miss you, I can't let you fly back, right? Things should be done from beginning to end. You and Li Ye went to the lighthouse for an internship this time, but it is an opportunity that many people can't get.

So you should focus on your work now, and think about it carefully when you come back. Let me tell you! How many practice reports have you written recently? It's been almost half a month from New York to San Francisco. What do you think? Do you have any experience?"

"You only know how to talk to me in official language,"

Wen Leyu pouted and said unhappily: "I'm almost busy these days. You know, if today and tomorrow are not the weekend, we may not have time to celebrate New Year's Eve!"

Teacher Ke was a little surprised, so he asked: "Hong Kong Island also has holidays during the Spring Festival! Don't the companies you invested in the lighthouse have holidays?"

"No," Wen Leyu said: "Li Ye said that it is important to make the employees of the new company think that this is a lighthouse company, not a foreign-funded company controlled by Hong Kong or the mainland. "

"."

Teacher Ke was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately and asked in a deep voice: "What is Li Ye worried about?"

Wen Leyu looked up at Li Ye who was sorting things, and whispered: "I can't tell you clearly for a while, but I have observed Li Ye these days, and he is indeed worried about something."

Teacher Ke said decisively: "Let Li Ye answer the phone."

"Oh~"

Wen Leyu said, "Oh", and shouted at Li Ye: "Li Ye, come and wish my mother a happy new year, otherwise my mother will be angry~"

"No, no, no, I'll come right away, but don't make Aunt Ke angry."

Li Ye stayed outside to give Wen Leyu and his mother some personal space. When he heard Wen Leyu's call, he hurried over with a smile.

Wen Leyu handed the phone receiver to Li Ye, stuck out his tongue, and slipped out the door.

She didn't know whether Li Ye was willing to discuss this issue with his mother, but she found that Li Ye had been worried for several days after worrying.

The reason why Wen Leyu decided to ask her mother for help was because Teacher Ke's vision was far higher than that of the young couple, and it would be good to give some advice.

Teacher Ke first chatted with Li Ye about family matters, and then frankly asked Li Ye why he was "worried".

Li Ye told the truth: "Because we are now in contact with the most cutting-edge technology industry of Lighthouse. Although Lighthouse is now transferring industries abroad, I think there will be some invisible protective restrictions on this cutting-edge industry.

And after we make money here, we have to take the money away smoothly. So I think we should be careful and try to weaken some unnecessary risks."

In the 1980s and 1990s, Western developed countries did transfer a lot of technology and industries to the mainland, but in their "world division of labor", the mainland is a low-end industrial area lower than Japan and South Korea, and definitely does not include computers and high-tech technologies involved in the information industry revolution.

Don’t even mention that the mainland has not joined the WTO yet. Even after joining, won’t there be restrictions on this and embargoes on that?

Why did those Chinese stocks return? Isn’t it because the Lighthouse believes that they took their money to upgrade the industries of mainland enterprises, affecting their so-called "world division of labor"?

So Li Ye wants to steal other people’s technology and gold coins. If there is no obstacle, then the group of vultures in the Lighthouse are just eating dry food?

“Risk?” Teacher Ke asked nervously: “Do you think there is danger?”

Li Ye said frankly: “Not yet, but I’m not sure about the future, so I’m just preparing for a rainy day”

Teacher Ke was silent for a few seconds, then asked: “Do you need help now?”

“.”

This time it was Li Ye’s turn to be silent, because he had been struggling on his own for the past few years, and he had never actively sought help from Teacher Ke.

Because he was afraid that Teacher Ke would misunderstand that he was dating Wen Leyu because he was trying to climb up the social ladder and seek wealth.

But now listening to Teacher Ke’s words, Li Ye felt another layer of meaning.

After a moment, Li Ye said slowly: "I can still handle it myself now, but I have analyzed a problem these days.

When an enterprise grows to a certain extent, it will definitely touch the power of the state. If I am lucky enough to expand my enterprise to that level, I hope to get the support of the state."

"."

After listening to Li Ye's words, Teacher Ke was surprised. She really didn't expect that Li Ye's tone would be so big.

He didn't seek personal support from Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng, but directly sought support from the state. Is this a problem that a student who has not yet graduated should consider?

Moreover, is this a problem that an "individual business owner" should consider?

Although Li Ye's business is not small, he is a completely free individual business owner!

But Li Ye's idea is different.

Think about the things of the princess of Huawei in the future. Is that still something that a company can do?

Even in the free country of America, if Microsoft wants to make some big moves, will it not say hello to the relevant departments of the Lighthouse?

An insider in the later generations revealed that when you have a net worth of less than 10 billion, you are in the most free stage. If you go further, you can't play at all without strong support.

Teacher Ke exhaled and asked Li Ye: "How long do you think it will take to make the company reach the point where it needs national support?"

Li Ye pondered for two seconds and replied with a smile: "I'm not sure about this, Aunt Ke, maybe ten or eight years, or maybe fifteen or sixteen years!"

"Hehehe~, Li Ye, you are not modest this time!"

Teacher Ke couldn't help laughing. Maybe Li Ye felt that more than ten years was too long, but in Teacher Ke's eyes, this time was too short.

Li Ye is only in his early twenties now. Even after fifteen or sixteen years, he will not be forty years old.

Forty-year-olds can reach the level of contact with the national level, and the word "prodigy" cannot be used to describe his excellence.

But Li Ye knew that the information industry revolution of Lighthouse would encounter a major setback in 2000, and Cisco would reach its highest valuation of 550 billion US dollars in March 2000.

So Li Ye felt that if he could steal some technology, then the best time would be before 2000.

After laughing a few times, Teacher Ke asked Li Ye half-jokingly: "Li Ye, if you want to get 'strong' support, you have to have at least a few hundred million dollars!"

"A few hundred million dollars?"

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said softly: "Aunt Ke, I have several hundred million dollars now!"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem~~"

. . . . . . . .

Li Ye and Teacher Ke talked on the phone for a long time in the room. When he came out, he saw that his young wife Wen Leyu's eyes were a little flickering.

"What's wrong, Xiaoyu?"

"What did my mother say to you for so long?"

Li Ye chuckled and said, "Your mother said that she has decided to marry you to me and you are not allowed to regret it, so we can sleep in the same room tonight."

"."

Wen Leyu opened her mouth for a long time,

But after a few seconds, she stared at Li Ye's eyes and said contemptuously: "Tsk, your ability to deceive people is not even as good as that Pandit, and you still want to deceive me?"

"."

Li Ye pretended to be furious: "If I want to deceive you, I will make you count the money even if I sell you."

Wen Leyu Replied immediately: "Count the money, I'll put it in my pocket after counting it, and you have to trick me back."

"."

Li Ye was surprised and said: "Xiao Yu, when did you learn to be so sharp-tongued?"

Wen Leyu curled her lips: "I already knew how to do it, but I just didn't use it on you."

Li Ye was silent for a long time before he said seriously: "Xiao Yu, in fact, I can lie, but I won't do it on you, never."

"."

Wen Leyu's beautiful big eyes blinked and finally narrowed, stretched out her arms to hug Li Ye's waist, buried her head in his arms, and rubbed it hard.

"It's okay, even if you lie to me, I'm willing to believe it."
