Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 316
Ten years did not leave any marks on Yang Shuzhen's face, but because she has been in charge of a large company for a long time, the demeanor of a strong woman has become more obvious.

Shanhai Venture Capital Fund took advantage of the hype of Muhe to soar into the sky, and backed by the two giants of industry and commerce, successfully invested in hundreds of high-tech companies within a few years, becoming the largest investment fund in the world and the fifth largest company in the world.

Shanhai Fund has more than 10 employees, and its investment scope covers all investment fields in human society. Its reputation in the world is no less than that of Red Star.

It's just that not many people know that the big boss of Shanhai Fund is the initiator of the 'Shennong Innovation Award'.

The predecessor of the Shennong Innovation Award was the "Zhongcheng Science and Technology Progress Award". On the eve of the establishment of the Asian Federation in 2025, Zhongcheng changed the name of the "Zhongcheng Science and Technology Progress Award" to the "Shennong Innovation Award".

Shennong is also called Emperor Yan, and the Chinese call themselves descendants of Yan and Huang, and respect Yan and Huangdi together as the first human ancestors of the Chinese nation.

Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs and created herbal medicine to treat diseases; he invented slash-and-burn farming and created two kinds of farming tools for turning the soil, and taught the people to reclaim wasteland to grow food crops; he also led the tribal people to produce pottery and cooking utensils for eating.

Shen Nong was a great inventor in ancient China, and it is very appropriate to name the Invention Award after him.

Yang Shuzhen and others didn't understand Zhong Cheng's change of the name of the bonus. Zhong Cheng himself didn't know the change in his mentality, but he just withdrew his name willfully.

In ten years, the prize money of the Shennong Innovation Award has increased to 10 billion yuan, and there are 18 awards covering all aspects of human civilization. It is already the most famous and valuable worldwide award today.

Now it is a great honor for leaders in various industries to win the Shennong Innovation Award, and it is a great honor to be nominated. The annual award ceremony is a grand event.

Shanhai Fund's money cannot be used for private purposes according to the original company's articles of association, but it can be used for the development of the fund itself.

Such a restriction doesn't really make much sense, since Zhong Cheng didn't have any large personal expenses in the first place.

However, in the name of a development fund, Shanhai Fund can do many things with its huge capital. For example, after Red Star Company went public, it purchased a large number of shares in various ways, allowing Zhong Cheng to actually control Red Star Company.

The Shanhai Fund has become a powerful tool for him. This is something that Zhong Cheng did not expect when he established the fund, but these are all in Yang Shuzhen's expectation.

After Yang Shuzhen got married, she did not shift the focus of her work to Lu Yao's company, but instead focused more on the development of Shanhai Fund, which made Zhong Cheng even more grateful to Yang Shuzhen.

7 month 20 day.

Zhong Cheng had been busy in Haicheng for a few days, so he personally stepped forward to reassure everyone.

Red Star Company will focus on the development of civilian industry, and will hand over all production lines and equipment related to weapon manufacturing in the next three years.

And promised to continue the transformation project of desertified land and wasteland around the world. Except for the self-retained part, all the wood grains produced will be provided to the official agencies of the local federation at 50% of the average market price.

After finishing the work, Zhong Cheng is ready to go back to Beishan. Tomorrow is his son's 12th birthday, and Yang Shuzhen will go back together.

Zhong Yi will go to the mecha training base on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in a few days, and he will only be able to go home during the Spring Festival. Zhong Cheng wants to see his son off.

Among their children, only Zhong Yi and Zhou Long passed the admission examination.

In fact, it was Zhao Wei and others who were reluctant to let the child leave home at such a young age, so Zhong Cheng secretly stopped it.

Because Zhou Hu was also full of fantasies about mechas, he couldn't do it himself, so he put his hopes on his son, so Zhou Long also went to the mecha training base.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Zhong Cheng and his party returned to their residence in Shanhai Mansion.

When Zhou Hu found Zhong Cheng, he hesitated to speak.

"Huzi, what are you talking about, just say what you have to say!"

Zhong Cheng said impatiently that he and Zhou Hu had known each other for more than 20 years, and later became brother-in-law, closer than brothers.

"Boss, there are two people who want to see you!"

Zhou Hu frowned and said, it seems that he himself was hesitant to see or not.

"Who?" Zhong Cheng asked casually, seeing so many people these days, it doesn't matter if he sees two more.

Zhou Hu glanced at the direction of the Federal Building, and replied, "It's not those people, they are our old friends!"

"Oh?!"

Zhong Cheng became interested. He noticed the words "our old friend" that Zhou Hu emphasized.

He and Zhou Hu have many old friends in common, but most of them are in the Red Star Company, and they would not come to him like this, so the rest is guesswork.

"Lei Yongzhong and Wang Anlin?"

Zhong Cheng asked in surprise, Lei Yongzhong and Wang Anlin were roommates when he and Zhou Hu were assigned to Red Star Company after graduating from school.

After Lei Wang left Red Star Company in 2012, they lost the news, and it has been 21 years now.

Zhou Hu nodded, confirming Zhong Cheng's guess.

Zhong Cheng stood up excitedly, and said loudly: "Huzi, what are you still doing in a daze, where are they, let's go see them now!"

Seeing that Zhou Hu was still a bit reluctant, Zhong Cheng asked angrily: "Is it because their conditions are not so good now, are you afraid that they will come to us for help?"

Zhou Hu was in a hurry, "Look at what you told me, am I such a person? If they are really down and out, taking care of them is not a piece of cake!"

Zhou Hu's words were not exaggerated at all. With Zhong Cheng and his current status and wealth, just a little help would be enough for him to live a very nourishing life for the rest of his life.

"Hehe, Xiao Mian, I said you were in a hurry, so tell me what's going on?"

Zhong Cheng is also concerned about chaos, but he is even more curious.

Zhou Hu replied: "The conditions of the two of them are not bad at all, at least they can be regarded as rich people!"

"I asked Hanxing and Shaojie to check their files. Lei Yongzhong is the boss of a large Internet company, and Wang Anlin is the boss of a large entertainment company."

Zhou Hu thought for a while and said, "Have you heard of Yunwang Company and New Entertainment Company? They are the two who opened it."

Zhong Cheng nodded. These two companies are both top [-] companies in the world and are very famous in the Asian Federation. It seems that these two old friends are doing very well.

He smiled and said, "They are doing well, we should be happy for them, what worries do you have about meeting old friends?"

Zhou Hu said hesitantly: "I'm just wondering that they should have been looking for us a long time ago. What are they looking for at this time? The key is that they didn't come here to look for us, but asked us to meet them. What's the problem? No?"

Zhong Cheng knew what Zhou Hu was worried about, it was his safety.

"You think too much, maybe they have some reason to come here, maybe they want to show off their wealth, haha!"

Zhou Hu brought up the projection light curtain of the wrist computer, clicked on a link, and it was an address, "This location is at sea, I checked, and the location is moving, it should be a sea ground effect aircraft, let's go there, Will there be a problem?"

Zhong Cheng pondered for a while, "No one dares to do anything to us now, let Shaojie bring a few people to go with us, old friends still have to meet!"

Zhou Hu nodded and said, "Well, that location is not far from our base on Changxing Island. I'll notify Liu Yang to send someone to prepare for it. If there is a situation, I will come to respond immediately."

"So be it!"

Zhong Cheng didn't dare to take it too seriously. After all, these two old friends hadn't seen each other for more than 20 years. Who knows what's going on now. It's always better to be careful.
