The daughter-in-law of a wealthy family does not lie flat

Lu Qing was surprised and said, "Not really. If all parties can manage their differences and the major powers have strategic determination, maybe there won't be a war."

Fu Daishi smiled bitterly, "Not every country has the strategic fortitude, and some countries even risk war for domestic elections. We are the most peace-loving nation. Looking through history books, except for the Yuan Dynasty, none of our dynasties invaded other countries. We basically convinced people with reason and virtue. So, this matter is not for us to worry about, but for Western Europe and the Middle East. If it breaks out across the board, our business will be affected."

"As the saying goes, war is dangerous, but we have always been peace-loving. Dad, let's sort it out and try to control the risks. If we are really unsure, just make a move, even if the price is low."

"Tell me your judgment!"

"Dad, I'm not studying international relations. I'm afraid I'll have the wrong influence on you."

"Just tell me, I want to hear it! I will naturally make the judgment on whether it is right or wrong."

"Well, first of all, the seemingly constant provocations in the South China Sea should not be a big problem. It's okay for flying monkeys to jump up and down. You can look at the composition of its navy. There are really no ships that can be attacked. We have no investment in South Korea, only some trade exchanges. Moreover, it does not constitute competition but complementarity. Sanctions cannot be imposed on us. We are not exporting semiconductors and cars to it. We export processed foods and industrial components, which they need. Japan is very similar. We just use the exchange rate loophole of the Japanese yen as a hedge fund. As long as it does not change the fixed exchange rate policy that has been adhered to for decades, we will not be affected."

Fu Daishi nodded, this was what he thought.

"Do you also think it is necessary to move the factory to Vietnam and India?"

"Of course not! Overall, I don't think Vietnam and India can replace China as the world's factory. Vietnam's size is very limited, and the education level of Indians can never support it to build an industrial system with a full range of industries and the entire industrial chain. The caste system leads to a huge class gap. We can't underestimate our opponents, but facts are facts. From another perspective, when we do business, on the one hand, we make money for ourselves, and on the other hand, we increase employment opportunities and improve the income level of employees. We also have our social responsibilities. If we blindly pursue low wages, that is not our original intention. It is better to have less profits and give more to workers. This is the long-term solution!"

"Lu Qing, go on and talk. I'll pour you some tea!" Fu Daishi was very excited when he heard this.

"It's really hard to say about the Middle East. The situation is hot and a real war is imminent. Israel is actually an Asian country. I only realized this a few days ago. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been going on for so many years. My family has no investment there, but my mother's family should pay attention. After all, many routes have to cross the Red Sea. I have discussed with them some time ago that if we have to go there, we should not use foreign ships, but our own country's ships. My father has also made arrangements according to this. Now we are waiting for these ships on the sea to reach their destination and will not take any more risks."

"Lu Qing, you thought about it earlier than me?"

"No, it's the special nature of shipping companies that forces them to do so."

"Go on!"

"I wouldn't say all of the manufacturing industry in Europe is going to flee, but at least a large proportion of it will flee, either to the U.S. or to our side. As we all know, without the cheap natural gas from Russia, European industry can't survive. They don't even have enough hot water to take a shower in winter! The problem with our investment in Europe may still be in the automotive sector. Dad, you need to make a decision on this. I'm considering selling it and investing in shares of civil airliners. Airbus has always had good profits."

"I agree. What about the Americans?"

Lu Qing smiled and said, "As long as it doesn't commit suicide, no one will attack its homeland. If its homeland is attacked, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos."

When Fu Daishi was working, he discovered that many of his judgments were very similar to those of his daughter-in-law, and he was very happy.

"I've been traveling to Europe a lot recently for this matter. I want to see if there's any good direction I can turn to. I've also been communicating with your uncles and aunts a lot. Some of them are uncrowned kings. It's not an exaggeration to say that they're as rich as a country. Okay, let's think about this again. Let's talk about the hedging of funds!"

"Although I majored in economics, I find it increasingly difficult to understand the U.S. employment and inflation data. I suspect that these data may not be completely true, so this may require more research from professionals and people who know more about the situation in the U.S."

Fu Daishi nodded and said, "Yes, the recent non-farm payroll data and other data do not match each other. They say different things."

"Dad, the price of gold has been rising ridiculously recently. I know you bought a lot. Let's wait and see. If there are signs of stability on the battlefields, the price should drop a little, and then we can restock. It's not easy to make a profit from speculating in gold, but it is still first-class in terms of value preservation, especially in the context of global de-dollarization. To be honest, when the price was still in the early 300s, I asked my financial manager to buy a lot for me and stored it in Switzerland."

Fu Daishi knew that the current price had exceeded 600. "You are right. It is not for speculation, but for value preservation."

"As the saying goes, antiques are valuable in prosperous times, and gold is valuable in troubled times. Dad, you should also talk to Yan Heng. Don't buy those jewelry anymore, especially diamonds and jade, unless they have special meaning or are worth collecting. I think the diamond market is hard to say. The artificially cultivated ones in Henan are really a big impact. His gallery has a lot of real and fake antiques in it. I also want him to sell it."

"Well, turn it. I agree. I'll talk to him."

Fu Daishi had been talking to Lu Qing about issues in various fields and didn't notice how time had passed so quickly.

Ming Simuan couldn't sit still in the bedroom. He didn't know what the old man was talking about with Lu Qing alone behind her back. It couldn't be that he was really going to repair the computer.

A maid was sent to fetch some water, but when she came back she only said that the master and the eldest mistress were talking about the war!

It was not until the masseuse's car honked, opened the door and left Fu's house that Fu Daishi realized it was almost ten o'clock.

"I'm sorry, Lu Qing, you've already worked all day, and I'm still dragging you to talk about something! You can rest more tomorrow if you have nothing to do!"

"Dad, I'm very happy to communicate with you. I can always learn a lot from you. Last time, I listened to your advice and trained reserve cadres and reserve technicians in the company. Sure enough, it comes in handy now."

"That's in North City, right? Well, Luqing, do your best and don't be too stressed. I, Yan Heng, and this family will always support you!"
