The ancients said: “Born in adversity, die in comfort.”

Chen Pingjiang never thought there was anything wrong with this statement.

Although sanctions have brought a lot of trouble, they have also brought new opportunities.

The value of the phrase “self-reliance” is constantly increasing.

After the reform and opening up, the domestic business community has always adhered to the concept of “it is better to buy than to make, and it is better to rent than to buy”.

Facts have proved that in the 80s, this statement was correct as long as we focused on concentrating funds to accomplish major tasks.

But it seems a bit out of date today.

If it weren’t for this sanction, the domestic chip industry would have to go through a lot of trouble.

“It’s fine like this now. Let’s abandon all illusions, work hard, and try to improve our shortcomings.”

During a conversation with Bai Zhiqiang, the top leader of the Dongjiang Municipal Party Committee, Chen Pingjiang talked about this concept for the first time, which can be regarded as a different perspective on the issue.

Bai Zhiqiang smiled and nodded: “You are the only one in the country who has such confidence.”

At first, when he heard about the developments of Orange Technology, he felt that Chen Pingjiang was, after all, a young man and was trying to stand out.

After careful analysis and research, I finally had a clear idea of ​​the situation.

Chen Pingjiang has been preparing for this for a long time.

“This incident also allowed the Chinese people to see the true face of the other side and abandon some of their previous false fantasies. I think this is beneficial.”

The concept of Manufacturing 2025 has been proposed for several years.

After all, China needs to continuously upgrade its industries and innovate, which to some extent breaks the concept of “global division of labor” and gradually erodes the territory of the West.

No wonder others don’t get upset.

But Chen Pingjiang felt that our mother did nothing wrong.

Who doesn’t want to live a good life?
Why should we exchange hundreds of millions of pairs of jeans for someone else’s big airplane?

Why should we do the lowest-end product assembly within the other party’s established framework?
Why do we need to digest all the foreign garbage from all over the world and destroy our own green mountains and clear waters?
Bai Zhiqiang nodded and said with emotion: “You are right. I would like to make it clear here that no matter how badly Orange Technology is hit in this round of sanctions, our Dongjiang government will definitely support it to the end.”

Chen Pingjiang appreciated the kindness.

But he was confident.

Many people outside are pessimistic, especially after seeing ZTE’s collapse. They think that Huawei now and Orange Technology in the future may not be able to hold on.

But he has witnessed with his own eyes that Huawei did not collapse amidst rounds of sanctions, but instead lived out a second life, not only surviving, but living well.

Since Huawei can do it, why can’t Orange Technology?

At present, Shanhe Holdings’ large ecosystem is operating continuously and is several times larger than Huawei’s.

Preparations started several years ago, and the cards in hand are countless.

Chen Pingjiang naturally would not be afraid.
–
Since June, Orange Technology has clearly stood with Huawei.

The share prices of companies such as Renren and Renrengou fell in response.

Chen Pingjiang had no intention of protecting the market, but instead set a red line.

If the stock price falls below this red line, the buyback will be initiated, and there will be no opportunity for people to buy at the bottom.

It would be best to privatize it directly after it hits bottom.

He is not short of money anyway.

Zhongshan Villa. Chen Pingjiang has been very busy recently and it is rare for him to come over for a meal.

During the dinner, Chen Guangming and Xu Fangjuan both looked like they wanted to say something but hesitated.

Chen Pingjiang saw their worries and asked with a smile, “Mom and Dad, just say whatever you want to say first.”

Xu Fangjuan raised her arm and nudged her husband, and finally Chen Guangming sighed and put down his chopsticks.

“I’ve read a lot of the news recently. No matter what people say, as your parents we support you. We have never been able to spend all the pocket money you have given us over the years. It adds up to more than 200 million yuan. You can take it with you later.”

They have no intention of interfering in business matters, nor do they understand how to interfere.

But Chen Guangming knew that at this time, he had to stand firmly behind his son and support everything, rather than hastily pulling his feet.

Chen Pingjiang was somewhat touched, and then shook his head: “That’s for you, just spend it. I don’t spend much time with you normally, and I’ve caused you a lot of trouble because of emotional issues over the years. Money is the only compensation I can give you. Don’t worry, I have full confidence, I won’t collapse and it’s impossible for me to collapse.”

In fact, in recent times, Chen Pingjiang has received many calls from strange or familiar people.

From the central leadership to former classmates.

Some encouraged, some gave advice, some sent warm regards…

Chen Pingjiang felt the long-lost warmth.

After having dinner at Zhongshan Villa, we returned to the large flat in the city.

Yan Yan also rushed back from her mother’s home with her son Chen Yifei.

At ten o’clock in the evening, after coaxing their son to sleep, the old couple leaned against the head of the bed and chatted.

“I have had some contact with Ali recently.”

Chen Pingjiang, who was browsing his phone, looked over in confusion after hearing this, “Why are you in contact with them?”

Yan Yan smiled gently, “Nothing, let’s establish a connection first. If they need it in the future, I will sell Xiaohongshu to them. After all, the market value of Xiaohongshu is now 20 to 30 billion.”

Chen Pingjiang was silent for a while.

Although Yan Yan spoke softly and slowly, she appeared to be relaxed.

However, Chen Pingjiang knew that this decision was not easy to make.

Xiaohongshu was founded by Yan Yan. Although Chen Pingjiang proposed many ideas at the beginning, it was Yan Yan who finally implemented them.

That was almost Yan Yan’s second child.

Now, for Chen Pingjiang, he is planning to sell it to Alibaba?
Chen Pingjiang laughed: “Don’t let Alibaba get away with it. They want it, but we won’t sell it. If we sell it, wouldn’t it be giving them a traffic portal for no reason? Xiaohongshu itself is a part of the ecosystem of Shanhe Holdings and is very important.”

“But……”

“There’s nothing wrong with that. You guys are so angry.” Chen Pingjiang was helpless. “It was the same when I was having dinner at my parents’ house tonight. The old couple wanted to give me their retirement savings, and now you’re thinking about selling the company. I tell you, don’t bother. Why don’t you all think highly of me? Don’t you believe that your husband can live a comfortable life without any problems?”

Ugh!
It seems that the power of big America is deeply rooted in the Chinese people.

After all, it is 2018 now. Although the country’s national strength has gradually become stronger in recent years, people’s perception is lagging behind.

Besides, the account reconciliation on Xiaohongshu has not been opened yet, and no one knows that the ordinary people at the bottom of society in the United States are also having a miserable life.

Seeing Chen Pingjiang complaining childishly, Yan Yan smiled.

Although she is wearing no makeup, she still has a breathtaking beauty under the dim light.

She gently leaned on Chen Pingjiang’s chest and murmured, “I definitely believe in you. You are my hero. Even though I don’t say it, I actually admire you so much in my heart. You can do it!” (End of this chapter)
