Chapter 1161 Quietly Revealing Economic Capabilities
The important event in the family made the old man very excited.
However, being of advanced age, he became somewhat tired after a while.
Professor Xie told his parents to go inside and lie down for a while so they could get some rest.
Upon learning of the situation, Liu Yiwen was also shocked: "What the hell?"
Liu Meilan nodded: "Yes, you go. This time it's just about family ties, nothing financial. Of course, you can also learn about their business empire. Don't hide anything about our family's situation; there might be opportunities for cooperation."
Liu Yiwen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go buy the plane tickets. By the way, when is my uncle coming?"
Liu Meilan replied, "My uncle will arrive tomorrow. Okay, I'll book a flight for tomorrow night, and I'll just sleep on the plane and arrive."
"Okay!" Liu Yiwen agreed. He was the only pure businessman in his family and did not need special approval to go abroad.
Besides Professor Xie, the other five children in the Xie family also knew about this news.
Uncle Xie and Uncle Xie were very happy and called every day, saying they would come over after finishing what they were doing.
They made the call when both sets of parents were in good spirits.
Wu Meihua is the youngest of the three siblings and also the most spoiled. She kept calling out "Big Sister" while holding the phone, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing. She was especially relaxed and at ease in front of her older sister.
She is still the beloved young lady.
When Wu Zhenhua spoke with his sister, both of them appeared composed, but their voices trembled and choked with emotion, as they looked forward to meeting again in the future.
Uncle Xie rushed over, travel-worn. As a son, he wanted to fulfill his mother's wish whenever he had the chance. Especially after Uncle Xie went to the countryside years ago, he settled down there, built a family, and established his career there. He could only go back to reunite with his parents during the Spring Festival and summer vacation, and his feelings of guilt towards his parents grew stronger every day.
This sense of guilt intensifies as parents get older.
Therefore, Uncle Xie dropped everything and rushed over immediately.
After having a meal here and learning about the situation from his family, Uncle Xie, Liu Yiwen, and two bodyguards boarded a plane and flew to the other side of the ocean.
Professor Wu and Qin Zheng picked up Liu Yiwen and Xie Xiaojiu at the airport.
Uncle Xie looks like his father, while Liu Yiwen looks like his mother, Professor Xie. So Professor Wu was overjoyed to see his grandson who looked about 50% like him.
"Auntie," Uncle Xie greeted, "I am Xie Qinghe, the sixth son of the Xie family."
"Great-aunt!" Liu Yiwen introduced himself. "Great-aunt, I am Liu Yiwen, the son of Ms. Xie Qingya, the fourth daughter of the Xie family. It's a great pleasure to meet you. How are your great-uncle and great-aunt doing now?"
Professor Wu felt a slight lump in her throat. Although it was their first meeting, the feeling of being connected by blood instantly warmed and moved her heart.
"Okay, they're all fine!" Professor Wu replied. "Qinghe, Yiwen, come with me to the nursing home. The two elderly people are waiting for us. Qinghe, don't worry. It's not that your two cousins don't want to come; one of them is handling some paperwork, and the other is at a critical moment at his company and needs to take charge. He should arrive around tomorrow night."
Xie Qinghe smiled and said, "Things happened very suddenly, so it's normal that I couldn't get away. However, my mother is already very satisfied that she was able to see my maternal great-uncle and maternal great-aunt."
Qin Zheng had already rented a car: "I rented a minivan, let's talk in the car."
Liu Yiwen patted Qin Zheng on the shoulder: "Qin Zheng, thank you."
Qin Zheng said angrily, "Second Brother, don't say that. Yi Bang and I are good brothers. I've made money investing in projects with you and Mei Lan. If you keep being so polite, how can I ask you to help me get rich in the future?"
Professor Wu's eyes flickered slightly; it seemed that the influence of his aunt's family in China was greater than he had imagined.
Once in the car, Professor Wu asked, "Yiwen, I heard from Xiao Qin that you two are doing business together. What field are you in?"
Liu Yiwen smiled, took out an exquisitely packaged box from his bag, and handed it to Professor Wu: "Auntie, this is a gift from your family."
"For me?" Professor Wu was taken aback, then reached out and took it, gently opening it. "A pearl necklace? Oh my, it's made of South China Sea pearls! From Sifang Island? This... this seems to be quite famous."
Liu Yiwen nodded: "Yes, our company has not only invested in the South China Sea pearl farming on Sifang Island, but we've also acquired shares in this jewelry brand. In addition, our investment company's ornamental fish farm and deep-sea fishing company already have seven large ships..."
Professor Wu was taken aback: "I didn't expect you to have such a wide range of investments, including semiconductors and wafer fabs?"
Liu Yiwen smiled and said, "Yes, we have discussed it. This is the direction of future development. It has high technological content and high profits. However, because our technology is relatively backward, we can only produce some ordinary products at present. But I believe that with technological updates, we will definitely catch up in the future."
Professor Wu praised, "It's good that you have confidence. Your cousin now runs a top-five semiconductor company in the United States. I think you may have opportunities to cooperate in the future."
Liu Yiwen replied, "It would be best if we could cooperate, but it's okay if we can't. The main reason I came here is to reconnect with my relatives."
Professor Wu was even more satisfied; the child was neither arrogant nor impatient. He learned from Qin Zheng that his sister's three sons and three daughters were all doing well, and many of the younger generation were also promising, with a bright future ahead.
Professor Wu didn't ignore Xie's uncle: "Qinghe, are you in the coffee business?"
Xie Qinghe smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm a professor at the Yunnan Agricultural College. I discovered that many places in Yunnan are suitable for growing coffee, so I've been dedicated to coffee cultivation and roasting for many years... Although the brand has won awards internationally, it hasn't gained much recognition yet. However, it's considered a pretty good brand domestically. My gift is in the box; I'll get it for you later."
Professor Wu's eyes lit up: "Qinghe, impressive! You're a professor too?"
Xie Qinghe humbly replied, "I can't compare to your achievements in the financial field; I've only made some small progress in my own little corner of the world."
Professor Wu praised, "It's like being in a completely different world. I'm better than you in finance, but I'm totally clueless when it comes to agriculture. Auntie is amazing; all three of your sons and daughters are so successful."
My aunt not only achieved great success in her own field, but also raised so many outstanding children; she is truly admirable. No wonder my mother is always so proud of her and misses her so much.
Professor Wu also asked many questions about things in China, which Liu Yiwen and Xie Xiaojiu answered one by one. The group chatted happily throughout the hour and a half drive.
After getting off the car and completing the formalities, Professor Wu led them to the sanatorium.
Wu Zhenhua and Wu Meihua had been eagerly waiting, repeatedly looking down from the windowsill. When the group came up with Professor Wu, the two elderly people quickly helped each other downstairs.
