Chapter 566 The Ways of the Traveler! (5K)
"Enough!" He knew his wife's little thoughts, but he didn't want to hear them.
Chen Dongji, who was already upset, was made even worse by his wife's complaints. He yelled and simply ran to the study room with his quilt to think of a solution.
······
The third brother, Chen Huaying's family, is no less well-off.
"Tell me what's wrong with you. Don't you know what your father-in-law's temper is like? He is a dictatorial king who has the final say!"
"You dared to contradict him openly. Now you have lost everything!"
Cui Changji, who always obeyed Chen Huaying's orders, rarely got angry with Chen Huaying.
Chen Huaying, who was always arrogant and domineering, rarely lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.
At this moment, her mind was filled with an idea, and this idea became more and more deeply rooted, but she just couldn't make up her mind.
In fact, she now feels that she has done something stupid. Why did she talk back to her father?
Now, his old father has become furious and has changed his will in a fit of rage. In the future, he will definitely lose his inheritance.
Little did she know that whether Lin Hao changed his will or not had nothing to do with her being stupid or not. Even if this hadn't happened, Lin Hao would still find other excuses to change his will.
Zhou Shuren once said a famous saying: What is worrying is not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of wealth.
Lin Hao was going to arouse the jealousy of the second and third brothers towards the eldest brother, and he also listed the names of deaths~, no, it should be the list of heirs, otherwise how could he arouse them to kill each other.
The atmosphere in the family of the fourth son, Chen Runji, was particularly excited. Although Chen Runji was directly declared to have lost his inheritance rights, his son had obtained the inheritance rights.
Regardless of whether the possibility of inheriting a chaebol is high or not, having this title itself is a kind of capital.
But as Chen Daojun's mother, Li Hairen, looking at the still ignorant Chen Hengjun and Chen Daojun who looked thoughtful, an idea came to her mind...!
However, the couple tacitly agreed not to mention the matter, but they all had their own calculations in their minds. At this time, the time traveler Chen Daojun was also thinking.
Knowing Shunyang Group very well, he naturally knew that in his previous life, Chen Yongji, the eldest son, inherited the position of the second-generation leader, and later, Chen Xingjun, the eldest grandson, successfully became the third-generation leader.
That is to say, there was no evidence of infighting after this will, so what happened in between?
He has obviously read Chen Yangzhe's autobiography, but what happened today is not recorded in his autobiography at all. It seems to be another autobiography written in Spring and Autumn Period.
Moreover, before he traveled through time, several heirs were alive and well. The only one who had an accident was Chen Daojun, who died in a car accident. What on earth was going on?
As a time traveler, Chen Daojun would never have imagined that an old coin traveled through time and became his grandfather.
Therefore, Chen Daojun's mind was in a mess at this time, but an idea emerged in his mind, which was to bypass Shunyang Group and start his own career.
By then, he would use his strong capital to buy out Shunyang Group and bypass the hurdle of competing for heirs. Then he would find a way to find out the truth about his own death in his previous life.
But if you want to build a career, you need money!
So where should I get my first start-up capital from?
Then a light bulb went off in Chen Daojun’s mind. As a time traveler, he couldn’t help but think of the same thing as Lin Hao: Black Monday!
However, the crux of the problem is that we still lack some start-up capital!
······
next day
Early in the morning, Chen Dongji came to Lin Hao's door and knelt.
"Please forgive me, father. I will never do it again!"
Lin Hao took a look at Chen Dongji who was kneeling on the ground, but he was concentrating on his breakfast.
After finishing breakfast, Lin Hao looked at Chen Dongji who was kneeling on the ground, and then Lin Hao said lightly:
"If you do that again, I will deprive you of your status as heir!"
"Thank you for your forgiveness, father!"
Chen Dongji felt relieved when he heard his father say such harsh words. At least his father had not given up on him, and this incident of colluding with outsiders was over.
"Go down!" Lin Hao waved his hand.
As soon as Chen Dongji left, Director Li came to Lin Hao and reported:
"President, according to your instructions, I have selected a list of excellent traders from our Shunyang Securities Company overnight. Please review it!"
"No need to look at it, I still trust you to do the job!" Lin Hao thought for a moment and ordered:
"Divide these people into five groups. One group will go to Wall Street, the second group will go to Dongjing, and the third group will go to London, Paris, and Germany, and enter the stock exchanges in these places respectively.
You have to know that on Black Monday, it was not just the Dow Jones Index that plummeted. Almost all global stock markets plummeted due to the impact of the US stock market. These places are all important stock exchanges in the world.
"President~!" Director Li hesitated to speak.
"Huh? Do you have anything else to say?" Lin Hao asked puzzledly.
"This is today's newspaper, our Shunyang Semiconductor~!"
Lin Hao glanced at the newspaper and immediately understood what was going on. It was nothing more than a price war for semiconductors with Beautiful Country in his childhood.
Moreover, their prices are extremely cheap, even lower than the cost price of Shunyang Semiconductor. It is purely a case of hurting others at their own expense. Lin Hao hates this kind of competition without any technical content the most.
"It's just a small matter, but the most urgent thing is to finish what I just asked you to do!" Lin Hao said lightly.
Compared with the profits made on Black Monday, the money lost in semiconductors is just a drop in the bucket.
But to be honest, even Lin Hao had to admire Chen Yangzhe's forward-looking strategic vision. When no one was optimistic about the prospects of semiconductors, he was willing to lose money to develop semiconductors.
It was his persistence that laid the foundation for Shunyang Group to stand firm in South Korea for decades to come.
"Yes~, I'll do it right away!"
Director Li bowed and left, but as soon as Director Li left, Lin Hao heard a noise coming from outside the study.
The next moment, the door of the study was pushed open, and Chen Yongji came in anxiously.
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Yongji said loudly:
"Father, something bad has happened. The Eagle Country and Xiao Ri Zi Semiconductor are fighting each other. Their selling price is even lower than our cost price!"
"If we sell at the price of a normal day, the group will lose at least hundreds of billions, and this is just the beginning. If we continue, Shunyang will lose even more!"
Lin Hao sat on the chair, looking at Chen Yongji expressionlessly, and said calmly:
"So? What do you want to say?"
Chen Dongji was overwhelmed by Lin Hao's momentum and gritted his teeth and suggested:
"So~, why don't we give up semiconductors!"
"Haha!" Lin Hao sneered and said, "You want me to give up semiconductors?"
"Yes, father, semiconductors are a bottomless abyss!" Chen Dongji also gritted his teeth and echoed:
"Father, if we don't give up now, it will be too late. We have invested too much initial capital in semiconductors. If we stop the loss now, the most we will lose is the initial capital!"
Seeing that Lin Hao didn't speak, Chen Yongji continued loudly:
"If this continues, our entire Shunyang Group may be involved."
"And I heard that even Yongjin Semiconductor has succumbed and has started to contact Xiaori!"
"Father, let's give up semiconductors!"
Chen Yongji tried his best to persuade Chen Yangzhe to give up semiconductors. In his opinion, the money that Chen Yangzhe lost due to his stubbornness would be his, Chen Yongji's, money in the future!
Lin Hao just looked at Chen Yongji quietly without interrupting him. Only after he finished speaking did Lin Hao speak:
"Who do you think owns Shunyang Group?"
"Huh?" Chen Yongji was stunned, as if he didn't understand what Lin Hao meant, but he was not stupid and reacted immediately.
This violated his father's authority. He wanted to explain to his father, but Lin Hao stared at Chen Dongji and asked:
"Why? You haven't even become the guild president yet, but you're already so eager to gain management rights?"
Chen Yongji quickly explained:
"Father, I didn't mean that. I just~!"
"So, don't worry about it!" Lin Hao narrowed his eyes and suddenly thought of a good idea, so he said:
"If you think you are capable enough and the first-in-line heir is not enough for you to display your abilities, I can give you some money to start your own business and see how capable you are!"
"Then give up the position of the first heir and let your brother Dongji be the first heir!"
Every word Lin Hao spoke was like a sharp knife, stabbing Chen Yongji's heart.
"Father~!" Chen Yongji wanted to say something, but Lin Hao ignored him and asked again:
"So do you think I should go into semiconductors?"
"I~, although I don't understand why my father is so obsessed with the semiconductor industry, but my father must have your intentions in doing this!"
At this time, Chen Yongji had already recovered from the surprise of being the first-in-line heir, and felt that he was indeed too excited.
My father just changed his will yesterday. If I say a few words to contradict him, he will get angry and make the second son the first heir. Who can he cry to?
However, Lin Hao would not let him go like this, so he said:
Well, since you don’t like working with semiconductors, then you can leave the semiconductor matters to the second brother. It just so happens that the second brother just said that he wants to share more of the burden with me.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yongji immediately thought of the look Chen Dongji gave him yesterday, and then a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes again.
Lin Hao saw all of Chen Yongji's reactions. Although the murderous intent was only a flash, it did not escape Lin Hao's eyes.
At this moment, Director Li, who had arranged the financial elites, came back quickly and reported to Lin Hao:
"President, I have already taken care of what you arranged!"
"The people from Qingwa Moss are coming!"
Lin Hao nodded, and then followed Director Li to meet the candidate.
After Lin Hao met with the people from Qingwatai, he found that Chen Huarong and his wife had also arrived, and Chen Yongji and Chen Dongji were also waiting for Lin Hao.
After seeing Lin Hao coming back, everyone immediately gathered around with concern, asking Qingwatai about the purpose of his visit:
"Father, the person coming from Qingwa Moss is~!"
In fact, everyone knows it very well. Why else could the people from Qingwatai come to their father during the election?
Isn't it to seek the support and money of their fathers, that is, the political donations from the free people that the West admires most.
In the past, Chen Yangzhe's brainless children would have expressed their opinions long ago.
However, Lin Hao had just lost his temper yesterday, so these people did not dare to express their opinions directly, and instead tried to make indirect comments.
At the same time, Chen Daojun, a time traveler, also arrived.
There was no other way. This guy had no start-up capital and was unwilling to give up the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune on Black Monday. He could only turn to Chen Yangzhe, his cheap grandfather, to seek help from the tiger.
That’s right, in his opinion, looking for Chen Yangzhe was like seeking the skin of a tiger, because Chen Yangzhe was too shrewd.
He would never underestimate the man who built the Shunyang Group from scratch.
At the same time, he was also afraid that if he really cheated money from him, Chen Yangzhe would send people to monitor the flow of funds, which would lead to his magical operation of shorting Wall Street being discovered.
After all, if Chen Yangzhe discovered that he could foresee the future and predicted the Black Monday stock market crash, it would be too shocking and might very well be beyond his expectations!
"Daojun, why are you here?" Li Biyu said to Chen Daojun with a kind face.
The arrival of Chen Daojun's adopted grandson made Li Biyu feel a little unhappy. She hated Chen Runji's illegitimate son and his family from the bottom of her heart.
If possible, it would be best not to come here in your lifetime.
But Li Biyu, who was good at disguising herself, suppressed her inner unhappiness, put on a kind smile and walked forward to greet her adopted grandson warmly.
He even touched his cheap grandson's head affectionately.
"Grandma~!" Chen Daojun bowed deeply and pretended to be innocent.
"I came here to apologize to Grandpa for what I did yesterday!"
Li Biyu secretly looked at Chen Daojun who had a helpless look on his face, wondering if he was sent by Chen Runji and his wife to show up in front of the old man.
But on second thought, hasn’t the old man already announced that the first line of succession to Shunyang Group will be given to his eldest son Chen Yongji?
Even if this kid can please the old man, giving him a few melons and dates would not matter, just like treating him as a beggar.
Thinking of this, Li Biyu calmly brought Chen Daojun to the outside of Chen Yangzhe's study.
"Your grandfather is in the study, talking to your uncle, second uncle and aunt. Please sit here and wait for a while!"
"Okay, grandma." Chen Daojun bowed quickly.
"Haha~, silly child, you don't have to be so polite with grandma." Seeing Chen Daojun bowing all the time, Li Biyu said with a smile.
Chen Daojun, who was getting a little bored while waiting, suddenly found that the study seemed not to be closed tightly, so he moved over.
Following the faint sounds coming from the study, Chen Daojun discovered that several people were actually asking about the green tile moss.
Then Chen Daojun's eyes lit up, and he thought of a way to gain Chen Yangzhe's trust and obtain funds without leaving any trace.
He suddenly realized that he was not obsessed with Black Monday at all, although he could make a lot of money from the stock market crash.
But he is a reborn person. He has the memories of the next few decades and grasps the development context of the future era. He will have plenty of opportunities to make money in the future. Why should he be obsessed with the stock market crash on Black Monday?
Not to mention the distant past, even the life on the other side of the strait was peaceful. The appreciation of the Japanese yen after the Plaza Accord continued until the 90s, not to mention Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Tesla...!
Thinking of this, Chen Daojun's impetuous mood has completely stabilized, and he even looks extremely confident.
After a long while, the door of the study finally opened, and Chen Yongji, Chen Dongji, Chen Huaying and others came out one after another.
Seeing this, Chen Daojun stood up hurriedly.
"Daojun, why are you here?" Chen Dongji asked with a smile, and then looked at the sixth heir in front of him with scrutiny.
Chen Daojun knew what kind of person Chen Dongji was, but it was obviously extremely unwise to offend the first-in-line heir now.
So he took out the almighty taboo and said innocently:
"I came here to apologize to Grandpa for what I did yesterday!"
It was just a casual question, and after Chen Daojun finished speaking, he didn't want to pay any attention to him.
Chen Dongji said jokingly:
"Runji has always given people the impression of being very scheming since he was a child. We have had very little contact over the past ten years, but now he has sent his son to show up. Is he really planning to compete for the first-in-line heir?"
"Hahaha~!" He looked at Chen Yongji meaningfully and laughed out loud. In fact, he was also excited about getting into the semiconductor business.
"Did your parents ask you to come? Why are you here alone?" Chen Huaying said with a smile and half-jokingly.
Seeing that several people were still teasing the young master, Director Li, who had just sent everyone out, returned to the study and reported to Lin Hao:
"President, the young master wants to come and see you!"
"Please help me ask him what's the matter. If nothing happens, he will disappear!" Lin Hao said lightly.
Although they were clearly just inside the door, Director Li was still needed to pass on the message. It was not that Lin Hao was pretending to be arrogant, but that he was being cautious in the face of a time traveler.
Then Director Li conveyed Lin Hao's words, and Chen Daojun immediately said:
"I just overheard you guys talking about which presidential candidate to support outside the door. Please tell grandpa for me!"
"If it were me, I would bet my election money on Roh Tae-woo, because Roh Tae-woo would be elected president!"
Just when a few people were about to mock him, Lin Hao asked Director Li to bring Chen Daojun to the study.
Lin Hao looked at the time traveler in front of him, and said with a smile on his face:
"Tell me! Why are you so sure that candidate Roh Tae-woo will be elected president?"
Chen Daojun got the conversation with his grandfather and immediately began to analyze:
"It's simple, because everyone has their own ambitions, especially when the two are evenly matched. Obviously, one is only one step away from the highest position, so who would be willing to give in?"
"It's like there are three students in a class, all wanting to run for class monitor. The first and second place will definitely not cooperate because they both think they can be elected."
"And in order to succeed, they will seize every flaw and weakness of their opponent and attack them desperately."
"In the end, the teachers and students saw the two sides using all means to attack each other, and they naturally didn't want such a person to be elected."
"So the third place candidate who was originally chosen without any intention became their first choice. At least he doesn't seem to have..."
