Chapter 6: The Council of Elders

The Li family's quaint and elegant conference room is very simple. In the middle of the north wall of the room facing south and north is a huge sculpture screen of Hainan Huanghuali.

The screen-type back mountain is inlaid with red coral to form an ancient plum tree. Ancient plum petals are carved from white jade. Hainan Huanghuali background high relief technique perches on the branch of the ancient plum a vivid gilded golden eagle that is about to spread its wings and fly high. The golden eagle eye is set with eagle's eye stones, and the eight talons are set with diamonds, the smallest of which is the size of a pea.

In front of the back mountain, a red sandalwood case, a metaphorical interstitial screen is placed on the left side of the case, and a mutton fat white jade Guanyin plum bottle is placed on the right.

Sitting on a red sandalwood chair facing north is the old man who talked to Li Zhiqi last night, Li Dexian, the current patriarch of the Li family. There is a row of rosewood chairs on the east and west compartments, and there are rosewood coffee tables in the middle of the chairs. The workmanship of a red sandalwood furniture is simple, the system is round and the bottom is round, and the overall lines are smooth. At first glance, it is a typical Ming Dynasty furniture, simple and simple, implying noble and elegant taste.

On the east and west chairs, at this time, there were four elders of the family. Behind the four elders stood six people on each side, making a total of twelve people. Among them, eleven people were urgently recalled from the Huludao base yesterday. The other person looks old and strong, and the younger generations in the clan know that he is the manager of Shending Villa.

Li Dexian saw that everyone was ready, so he said: "Regarding Li Shaoqing's news that the palace master of Taipei Zhibei Palace asked our clan to reopen the Shending, the elders have been discussing it for a long time yesterday, and I think a few of you will also know about it. Speaking of this, he looked at the twelve people standing in the back row, and when he saw that they all nodded slightly to indicate that they knew, he retracted his gaze and continued:

"I'd like to put this thing aside this morning, and then everyone will think about it. Since our clan was ordered to open up territory overseas for hundreds of years, although it has benefited from the great prestige of the elixir refined by Shennong Ding, it has also gained great benefits. However, the pill has some benefits for our people's cultivation, and I think everyone knows what benefits the pill has been to our clan's cultivation of the exercises in the past hundred years. Do the pros outweigh the disadvantages, or do the cons outweigh the pros? The hall was silent, and everyone was listening intently to the Great Elder's words.

"Not to mention, the damage caused by the explosion 32 years ago to our people has not been eliminated to this day. Where can the path of cultivation be able to achieve the Great Dao with pills alone? I think everyone understands that. After saying this, he paused, and saw that everyone in the meeting nodded yes, and then continued: "For the sake of my clan in the long run, I think it is necessary to restart the experience of searching for ancestors that has been stopped for 16 years. What do the elders think? ”

At first, the four elders in the audience agreed very much with the principle of not relying on pills. But suddenly, when they heard that they were going to restart the ancestral experience, everyone's hearts were like a stone, stirring up a thousand waves, and they were all taken aback.

But after all, those here are people who have practiced for many years, and the surprise in their hearts did not show that they were outside, but they sank down and took a closer look. The air in the hall seemed to freeze.

There was enough tea kung fu, and the three elders of the fire attribute spoke first: "Big brother, in fact, I already had this intention. Looking at the young generation who have been trained all over the world for more than ten years, but they can't go to the mainland to find their ancestors and return to their ancestors, my heart is very sad. But after all, due to the political trend on the mainland, we and other overseas people can't help it. Fortunately, the situation has changed considerably recently, and not only has the new situation been stable, but it has also been reformed and opened up, and many overseas Chinese have entered the mainland one after another to invest. It's not lively! ”

Hearing this, the fifth elder smiled and took over the conversation: "The third brother is right, the news from the United States is that the mainland government is about to enter the United Nations as the sole legitimate government. Since you have entered the family of nations, you will inevitably abide by the relevant international legal and political norms. I think that although it is not appropriate to enter the mainland at this time to seek out ancestors and ask about their ancestors, it should be consistent with the mainland's current policy to intervene in the form of business cooperation. ”

The second elder nodded, and said slowly, "The third brother is in Europe, and the fifth brother is in the Americas, so the information obtained should be good." Entering in the way of searching for ancestors, with our status of cultivating truth overseas, is indeed inconvenient. It's the best way to get in as a business. However, most of our industries are agriculture, pharmaceuticals, finance and shipping. In recent years, it has also invested in many high-tech companies. But how can these industries get involved in the mainland? ”

The second elder was in charge of the family business in the clan, and as soon as these words came out, it was like pouring a bucket of ice water out of thin air, causing the atmosphere that had just begun to heat up to zero degrees again.

It is important to know that China itself is a large agricultural country, and with the difference in land ownership systems, the possibility of agricultural cooperation is very small. As for pharmaceuticals and finance, not only the Chinese government, but also the governments of the countries where the family capital is located, not to mention the high-tech sector. That's an embargo in many countries.

Seeing this, the four elders laughed and said, "Why are you nervous about what kind of business to start? What the family doesn't have now can be newly created. Zhiqi has a good idea. Big brother, you might as well let him talk about it. ”

"Zhiqi? Fourth brother, this is the family elders' meeting. He didn't have a say, and besides, what was there to say about the child's family? The Great Elder said unhappily.

"Big brother, the words are good. But my old rotten people are going to give way to these young people one day, right? Although they are here today, since they are here, it is okay to talk about it. "It's still the third elder who is quick to speak.

"Haha! Big brother, since the fourth brother came forward to speak, he must still appreciate Zhiqi's thoughts. The second elder laughed and said:

"But fourth brother, the financial investment you manage and the money you need to start a new business still have to be handled by you. Ha ha! ”

"Big brother, Zhiqi has been in charge of overseas business for many years and has a lot of experience. In the past few years, the cause he has been responsible for has been relatively successful. Since he has an idea, let's ask him to tell me about it. The fifth elder said more cautiously.

"Zhiqi, come forward."

I saw Li Zhiqi walking to the center of the conference hall, and bowed respectfully to the five elders in turn. The Great Elder said sternly, "The Fourth Uncle recommended your idea, and all the elders also unanimously recommended you. Well, let's hear it. If it's feasible, it's fine, if it's nonsense, you will be punished to go to Huludao to guard the island for a year. Be careful! ”

Li Zhiqi bowed deeply to the Great Elder, and then said, "Thank you, Great Elder and all the elders for listening to the opinions of the juniors. If the juniors lie and disrupt the meeting, they are willing to be punished. ”

"Okay, you say!" The Great Elder shouted loudly.

"My plan is to start tourism on the mainland."

As soon as the words were spoken, there was an immediate exclamation in the conference hall.

"Elders, please listen to me carefully." At the same time, in the midst of discussion, Li Zhiqi took out six printed business plans from his briefcase and distributed them to the five elders, and also gave one to the steward of Shending Villa.

Seeing that the elders were looking through their reports, he continued: "The business plan is the specific steps for implementation, the budget and the timeline. However, for the specific reasons and SWOT analysis, I think it is more appropriate to state them in person. ”

Only the Great Elder nodded slightly, so he said: "Internationally, the tourism industry pays the most attention to prior field visits, according to my statistics, the proportion of inspections and successful projects is 0.2%; That is, the success rate is very low. A large number of investigations are more conducive to concealing the purpose of our ancestors. The low success rate lays the foundation for continuous training in the future. Recently, the U.S. President and his wife visited China for the first time and praised China's natural beauty to the international media. It has launched a great market opportunity for the development of China's tourism. ”

Watching the elders listen to their own statements and look at their own plans, they continued: "Besides, I have found in my contacts with overseas Chinese in Taiwan and around the world that the younger generation's curiosity about China and the older generation's homesickness are all strong consumer groups that will open up China's tourism market in the future. The third point is that looking back on the past experience, the loss lies in the failure to establish Zhuangkou Wharf on the mainland. Rush in, rush out. So in order to set up a system, there is a need to have a point of contact in the right place. The tourism business has a wide range of social contacts, and also involves major service facilities such as entertainment, hotels and transportation, which is undoubtedly the best cover. ”
