Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

The moment Li Yi turned around, he saw an old man wearing a black tunic suit walking in from the outside, and behind him was a middle-aged man in his forties.

The old man is over 70 years old. He is thin but energetic.

After seeing the old man come in, the old man immediately stood up and said: "Hahaha, I thought you were a little late, but I didn't expect you, Lao Chen, to get off work on time!"

"There's nothing I can do. It took a lot of effort for my friend to volunteer to meet me. If we don't hurry up, there might be no store like this after we pass this village!" Mr. Chen said with a teasing look on his face.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Li Yi's face, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, it's my fault!"

Even though he thought he was thick-skinned and didn't care what others said about him, the identity of the person in front of him was different after all, and he still couldn't remain calm when being teased by this big boss.

"You are so brave. Not only did you dare to reject me, but you also ran away overnight. You are definitely the only one among the younger generation!"

Just when Li Yi was about to explain, he heard Mr. Chen say again: "But judging from what you just said, you are indeed a straightforward person who hates evil as much as he hates it. Not bad!"

Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "Old Chen, don't praise him. Young people don't always praise him!"

"Hahaha, others may cause trouble when they praise you, but this kid doesn't, he is very smart!" Mr. Chen said with a smile.

Mr. Jiang did not continue on this topic, but asked: "Old Chen, the meal is ready. Should we eat first or should you and Xiaoyi chat first?"

"Let's talk first!" Old Chen said.

After reading the document handed over by Jiang Shiying, he was surprised, happy and shocked. After learning about Li Yi's situation, he was even more surprised.

It is really unimaginable that a young man in his twenties who has never even attended college can make so much money outside in just two years.

According to Guoan's estimates, Li Yi's domestic and foreign assets add up to at least US$300 billion, and he will definitely rank among the top ten richest people in the world.

I originally wanted to have a good chat with this young genius and see how young people see reform and opening up, but I didn't expect that the other party was unwilling to see him and ran to the countryside overnight.

After finally waiting for this kid to come back, how could Mr. Chen still think about eating? It was more important to talk about business.

"Then you can talk in my study. It should be quiet there!" Mr. Jiang said.

Mr. Chen smiled and said, "Old Jiang, you should go too, so as not to worry about me bullying your grandson-in-law!"

"It's not easy for you to bully this kid. There have been many people who wanted to bully him in the past two years, but no one has done it!" Mr. Jiang said with a smile.

Regarding the situation of Li Yi, his grandson-in-law, Mr. Jiang has investigated everything inside and out, so he has a good understanding of the things Li Yi has done.

In his opinion, his grandson-in-law is a handsome man with a thoughtful mind. He often anticipates the enemy before he can advance and retreat, and he is very ruthless and knows how to advance or retreat. If he does, he will either not take action. Once he does, he must seal his throat with a sword, so that the opponent loses the ability to counterattack.

Whether he was facing the provocation and bullying of a few educated youths in the village, or confronting the gang of ghosts in Hong Kong Island, this kid could do it with ease.

Even if he is facing the British Hong Kong government, he can calmly dig holes for the opponent and force the Hong Kong governor to bow his head and give in.

Therefore, among the three generations of disciples in the family, the one that Mr. Jiang is least worried about is Li Yi. If this kid doesn't bully others, he is already burning a candle. Who can bully him?

"Then let's go in together. Don't you want to hear what this kid has to say?" Old Chen said.

"Okay, let's go together!" Then, the three of them walked into the old man's study together.

After sitting down around a small round table, Li Yi immediately stood up to pour tea for the two of them, but was stopped by Mr. Chen: "Okay, stop working, let's talk about business first!"

Hearing this, Li Yi stopped immediately, and then said: "You always say, I listen!"

"I read the document you sent me a few days ago, and I also had people investigate the issues you mentioned. The results are exactly what you said, and they are even more serious than what you said!"

Then Mr. Chen continued: "We old guys have been discussing how to solve these problems during this time. We have come up with solutions to some problems, but we have never found a proper solution to some problems, so I want to hear from you. The boy’s opinion.”

Li Yi did not express his opinion, nor did he ask what problems had not been solved, but said directly: "Mr. Chen, in fact, the problems I mentioned before are all micro-level problems, and it is not difficult to solve them."

"Isn't it difficult?"

"Yes, there is no suitable solution from above. It is just that it is difficult to choose between some problems, such as high deficit and upcoming high inflation. The problem seems serious, but there are many ways to solve it, but any method is possible. A variety of chain reactions will occur, and the higher-ups can't make up their minds for a while!" Li Yi said.

Mr. Chen thought carefully and realized that this was really the case.

They have already studied the problems that this kid mentioned before, and they do have backup solutions, but some solutions have too much impact, which is quite a bit of choosing the lesser of two evils.

Therefore, the Presbyterian Church found it difficult to make a decision for a while, but it was not that it was really helpless.

"Interesting, keep talking!"

Li Yi was not pretentious and said directly: "In fact, for our country, the biggest problem currently is macroeconomic policy. This is the most troublesome and the most deadly."

Mr. Chen immediately asked: "Oh, tell me what you think. What problems do we have in economic policy?"

"Now that we are in the initial stage of reform, our country faces many difficulties. We must not only solve various problems that have been accumulated in the past, but also explore new paths. It is not easy. It has the significance of ending the past and opening up the future."

Then Li Yi continued: "Although we have made it clear that the country's work should be centered on modernization and economic construction, and we are strengthening this focus of work, a lot of work is still just about shouting slogans and not doing so. There is no actual policy guidance and policy strengthening, especially in the vast inland areas and remote counties."

"As a result, the cadres and the masses below will adopt a contradictory view when dealing with the development of industry and commerce in the region. On the one hand, everyone is envious of those who have made money, but on the other hand, they are full of doubts about it. Jealousy, this will not only greatly impact our country’s emerging private economy, but may also affect the entry of foreign capital.”

Li Yi knew that since he was here, it would be impossible not to drop some goodies today.

Therefore, before he came, he summarized the core problems encountered in my country's economic development in the early stage of reform, and now he said them all in front of Mr. Chen.

Not only is there insufficient policy support, leading cadres are not open-minded enough, and their attitudes are not firm enough, but there is also consideration of the external environment.

In particular, Li Yi mentioned the restrictions of the dual-track system and the shortcomings of large-scale money printing and price manipulation, which was quite meant to criticize the current shortcomings. Mr. Chen and Mr. Jiang nodded frequently as they listened.

At the beginning, Mr. Chen would also add a few words and occasionally ask one or two questions.

But when Li Yi later spoke more deeply and faster, Mr. Chen stopped talking and listened intently to Li Yi's analysis. When he heard something exciting or something he didn't quite understand, he would write it down in the notebook he carried with him. .

For a moment, there was only one voice in the whole study room talking incessantly.
