Chapter Seventy-Fifth Arousing Attention

  His father was reading the newspaper there, and Duan Yunpeng didn't dare to disturb him. He just turned his head and took a glance at Feng Sizhe, seeing that he also nodded slightly towards himself, so he understood what he meant and stood still beside Feng Sizhe without moving.

  It wasn't until about seven or eight minutes later that Duan Jianghe finally turned the newspaper over, preparing to look at the other side. At this moment, he also noticed his son Duan Yunpeng and guest Feng Sichao standing in front of him.

  "Hey, Yunpeng, the guest has arrived and you didn't even call me. This makes our guest stand there looking so impolite." Duan Jianghe first scolded his son in a low voice, then shifted his gaze to Feng Sicheng. His eyes were so focused yet warm, far from the intimidating glance he had received from He Lao at first.

  "Uncle Duan." Seeing Duan Jianghe's gaze fall on him, Feng Sicheng lowered his head and called out in extreme respect.

  "Ah, you must be Zhao General's grandson Feng Sicheng who returned from studying in the UK, haha, indeed young and promising. Come, since you're already here, don't be too formal, take a seat." He pointed to the sofa across from him, saying with a smile on his face.

  "Thank you, Uncle Duan. I've long heard from my grandfather that you're a very kind and gentle person. Even Yunpeng has mentioned to me many times that you never put on airs when interacting with others. Although I was still a bit nervous before meeting you, now I know that everything Grandfather and Yunpeng told me about you is true." Feng Sicheng slowly sat down on the sand while bringing up his grandfather and Duan Yunpeng again.

  He was telling Duan Jianghe that his family's elders also maintained a very optimistic attitude towards being on good terms with the Duan family, and naturally, Duan Yunpeng would be treated as a junior. After saying this, Feng Sicheng sat on the sofa with half of his buttocks hanging in the air, not fully seated, which was enough to show his attitude, that is, his respect for Duan Jianghe.

  It's been said that Feng Si Zhe, this young man, is very polite to others. Until today, when I met Duan Jiang He, I realized that this young fellow not only has good manners but also knows his place. Every word he says and every small action proves that he understands boundaries while knowing his position. Hmm, not bad at all! This is Duan Jiang He's first impression of Feng Si Zhe. At least the rumors about him being disrespectful to Wen Chao Ying are false. Even at the He family gathering, where he was with his elders, he gave Wen Chao Ying a look that showed he didn't know how to gauge the situation. With two elderly people present, as well as Zhao Ming Yuan, he still dared to pick on someone from an older generation. Isn't that just being arrogant? It's only fitting that he gets what's coming to him; no one will pity him for his own doing.

  "Hehe, Xiao Zhe, I'm calling you that, is that okay?" Duan Jianghe smiled and looked at Feng Siche, personally pushing a cup of tea in front of him. Although it was just moving the teacup that was originally in front of Feng Siche forward by a few centimeters, these few centimeters represented his attitude.

  Feng Sicheng naturally felt Duan Jianghe's attitude towards him, and he bowed again, "Thank you, Uncle Duan. In fact, my elders at home also call me that."

  "Good." Feng Siche's response made Duan Jianghe very satisfied. He had already learned from his son, Duan Yunpeng, that he had made a fortune in oil futures thanks to Feng Siche's ideas and plans, with preliminary estimates suggesting they could make 5-6 billion yuan. But this was not the end, as long as they held on for a while, it was said that they might even double their gains, which would be over 10 billion yuan in profit. This 10 billion yuan was pure profit, far exceeding the benefits of doing other businesses, and the return on investment cycle was also shorter. Just based on this point alone, they should be very grateful to Feng Siche. Everyone knew that the economy behind high-ranking officials was a major support, because once you had money, neither you nor your people would take risks for money. Without economic problems, an official's future prospects were naturally bright, and even if political enemies wanted to attack him, they would not be able to find fault. For this reason, many large families would have someone go into business, both to meet the daily needs of their family members and to better realize their own political ideals. Without money, ordinary people could not make ends meet, and similarly, without money, high-ranking officials would also face many constraints in doing things.

  It can be said that Feng Sicheng helped Duan Yunpeng, which is equivalent to solving a big problem for the Duan family, especially since this money was earned from foreign oil merchants. This kind of money is not easy to earn, so it's better to earn it than not.

  He thought of Feng Siche helping his eldest son make so much money, which reduced his worries and also made Duan Yunpeng show his face in front of the Duan family. He found Feng Siche more and more pleasing to the eye. But today he called Feng Siche not to thank him, but because his son had just told him on the phone that Feng Siche predicted that the neighboring Soviet Union would have a split and collapse, which was a big deal.

  When Duan Yunpeng first mentioned it, Duan Jianghe just smiled and dismissed it. However, after hearing that the words came from Feng Siche, who also explained many reasons why the Soviet Union would collapse, he suddenly felt the importance of the matter. With Feng Siche's two interventions, both events were accurately predicted by him. For example, when Shencheng Securities Company was established, there were still some controversies among the top leaders. But after Feng Siche's article appeared in the internal reference, listing many reasons why the securities industry is necessary for the Republic, every word of the article struck a chord, making people exclaim that the country's securities industry should be established as soon as possible. As a result, the opposing voices decreased significantly, and everything went smoothly afterwards.

  If the rise of the securities industry was mainly due to the efforts of many people in the early stages, and Feng Si Zhe just added a bit of force at the right time, then how should we say about the outbreak of the Gulf War? In an area that no one paid attention to, Feng Si Zhe surprisingly predicted several months ago that the war would inevitably break out, and everything that followed was indeed as he had expected. The war broke out, and it was a local high-tech war, just as he had written.

  Two consecutive predictions, both of which came true, are not just a coincidence, but rather a reflection of one's vision. At the time when the Gulf War was still raging, Feng Si Zhe put forward another point, saying that the Soviet Union, the superpower and military giant neighboring China, might also disintegrate, which was another bombshell.

  As soon as Duan Yunpeng told himself about the matter over the phone, Duan Jianghe had to take it seriously. He first called his father, who was cultivating himself in Zhongnanhai, and told him the news, asking his father how likely such a thing was to happen. His father, who had experienced many major events, revealed an ambiguous attitude on the other end of the phone for the first time.

  It's hard to say that Feng Siche is wrong, the current Soviet Union is indeed very chaotic. After Gorbachev came to power, he completely denied the history of the Soviet Union and the route set by leaders such as Stalin, making the country chaotic. Although it's chaotic, is it still too early to talk about splitting up or disintegrating? Especially since the Soviet Union is indeed experiencing social unrest, with people living in a state of turmoil. What explanation can be given for this?

  But if we say that Feng Siche is right, then it seems unlikely that such a large country would disintegrate. At least on the surface, their social order hasn't collapsed.

  In the end, Lao still told Duan Jianghe to meet with Feng Siche first and listen to what he has to say. After all, as a communist country, the future of the Soviet Union will have a significant impact on our republic.

  This led to Duan Jianghe inviting Feng Sijie to his home for a meeting. Now, Feng Sijie sat across from Duan Jianghe, looking at this young man with an extremely sincere attitude and extremely respectful behavior. Finally, Duan Jianghe slowly asked the doubts in his heart, "I heard Yunpeng say that you have set your next business goal on the Soviet Union, saying that they will have the possibility of disintegration? Is that right?"
