Li Zhaofan was thinking about the long-term development of Chaling Colony.
Because he knows that the oil will one day be exhausted, but the population of his Li family is increasing. It is impossible to say that relying on oil will always lead a good life like now.
The Li family has always been a scholarly family, and the family mainly focuses on studying and taking imperial examinations. This kind of sitting and eating life is not the Li family's way of survival, and it is also inconsistent with the legacy left by Li Dongyang.
Li Dongyang came to Chaling Colony and left a legacy to Li Zhaofan and the Li family. The most important sentence is that people without long-term worries must have immediate worries. The Li family cannot just lie on oil and become nothing.
That¡¯s why the Li family strongly supports their children to study, take imperial examinations, and go to college, because only by studying, gaining knowledge, and becoming educated can they truly preserve the huge wealth of the Li family.
This has been the case since ancient times.
Some people may become rich overnight, but they cannot keep their wealth and will soon lose it in various ways.
The biggest problem here is that you have little culture and knowledge. You know too little and have too little experience. Therefore, your virtue is not matched and you cannot retain huge wealth at all.
Since ancient times, all big families that can last forever have basically attached great importance to the education of their children, because they know very well that knowledge is the only wealth that cannot be taken away by others, and it is also the most precious wealth. With knowledge, wealth Nature will follow.
¡°What is a better investment?¡±
Li Zhaofan was thinking in his mind.
There are many places to invest now. Not to mention anything else, just by taking the funds to the Tianjin Stock Exchange or the South African Stock Exchange to buy stocks, you can get good returns every year.
These two stock exchanges are currently the only two major stock exchanges in the world. A large number of commercial banks and factories are listed here. Their complete systems can also ensure the rights and interests of investors. At the end of each year, dividends are distributed to shareholders. When we are happiest.
"Dongdong~"
Just as Li Zhaofan was thinking, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Come in~"
Li Zhaofan came back to his senses and said.
Soon, a young man in his twenties walked in with a smile. This man's name was Li Yanchuan. He was the son of Li Zhaofan's brother and a top student who just graduated from the University of Technology in South Africa.
¡°Oh, it¡¯s Yanchuan!¡±
Seeing Li Yanchuan, Li Zhaofan immediately laughed.
"Uncle~"
Li Yanchuan also saluted respectfully.
"sit down."
"Thank you, uncle!"
After some pleasantries, Li Zhaofan also asked about Li Yanchuan¡¯s studies.
"How are you doing studying here in South Africa?"
"I have graduated and am ready to return to work within our family."
Li Yanchuan quickly replied.
"Very good, our Li family just needs talents like you who have gone to a new university to come back, so that we can develop better."
"It just so happens that I am also thinking about the future development of our Li family. You can also help me."
When Li Zhaofan heard this, he immediately nodded with satisfaction.
The Li family is full of talents, but many of them study traditional schools. The road to the imperial examination is much more difficult. Although there are several children in the family who have passed the imperial examination, they have never been able to pass the imperial examination.
Even if you become a Jinshi and can serve as an official in the Ming Dynasty, Ning State, or Chu State, it actually doesn't matter to the Li family.
Because the Li family moved to Chaling, in the Ming Dynasty, only the Huguang hometown still has some fields and real estate, but there are no other industries or people.
So for the Li family, the most important thing now is actually the Chaling colony in front of them, which they have worked hard for. The quality of development here is the most important thing for the Li family.
Reading the old school obviously has no meaning or effect on the Li family colony. Although it is a small independent kingdom, it does not need to establish a dynasty or the like.
Because the population here is only a small one, and they are all members of the Li family.
For this place, your learning of old skills is the art of slaying dragons, which is useless. On the contrary, you are learning new skills, which is very important to the Li family.
Li Zhaofan actually intends to develop the oil refining industry, smelting the oil himself and exporting the finished products directly. In this case, the income will be much higher than selling crude oil directly.
? ??Bought back the other half of the ownership, but Li Zhaofan did not dare to mention this matter to the Liu family.
On the one hand, this is a matter related to the reputation of the Li family. If you regret what you said at the beginning and regret it now, the credibility of the Li family will be gone.
Another aspect is that the Liu family is not an ordinary family. Whether it is in the Ming Dynasty, South Africa, or other vassal states, colonies, etc., it has huge influence. If you and the Liu family are trying to burn bridges, don't let the whole thing go. Kill yourself.
The Liu family is a super family with extremely far-reaching influence in the world today. Its influence and wealth are beyond imagination and have exceeded the scope of the Li family's current worries.
The Li family is only thinking about how to continue and expand their wealth. The Liu family has already laid out the global layout decades ago and laid out the development and pattern for the next few hundred years.
"What you said is very good!"
"This new learning is still very useful. Compared with your brothers who study the old learning, your knowledge and thinking are several levels higher. You are a rare talent in our Li family."
Li Zhaofan praised Li Yanchuan for coming. After listening to Li Yanchuan's words, Li Zhaofan finally had a clear understanding of the current global economy and structure.
He has a rough idea of ??how the Li family will go from here.
Although the Chaling Colony belongs to the Li family and needs to be managed well, it cannot be restricted by the Chaling Colony. Instead, it should look at the world and integrate into the global economy. At the same time, it should also continue to integrate into the huge Ming Empire. into the system.
Such a Li family can truly develop into a global Li family, rather than a Li family limited to the small place of Chaling.
We must look globally and focus on the world and future development.
