Chapter 101: Asia News Agency
After breakfast, Ye Cheng received a call from Chen Yinong not long after.
"Brother Ye, come to Villa No. 8 before nine o'clock; don't be late."
"OK," Ye Cheng said.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Cheng went to rinse his mouth, washed his face, and then asked Zhao Fengli for the location of Villa No. 8.
Villa No. 8 was not far, just opposite his villa, but the terrain was higher, offering a better view, and the villa covered a larger area.
Before Ye Cheng arrived at Villa No. 8, a housekeeper led him the way.
Upon arrival in the living room, the interior decoration was very luxurious and atmospheric, and several people were already chatting inside.
Old Chen was among them.
"Brother Ye is here; I'll introduce you to these guys," Chen Yinong said, immediately standing up and laughing.
Then, he introduced several people, one by one, all of whom were business leaders and were on the Qianrun Rich List.
At this moment, these figures that could only be seen on TV media appeared in front of Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng shook hands with them one by one, acquainting himself with them.
One after another, more people showed up.
In the end, including Ye Cheng, a total of 16 people showed up.
"Since everyone is here, let's get started. Today is the eleventh year of our Yaxin Society gathering, and there are new members joining us. All the seniors are present, and we need to give more support to the juniors," Chen Yinong said, sitting in the C seat.
Everyone present smiled and nodded in agreement.
Ye Cheng sighed inwardly. Although he had a hunch, he never thought that he would have the opportunity to join such an elite circle.
Although the Asia News Agency was still inferior to the Taihe Society and the Dongxing Club, it was still a circle that countless people couldn't enter.
"The people present are all business leaders. They can be regarded as my elders in terms of age. In the business field, they are my predecessors. I am fortunate to join the Asia News Agency today. If there is something that I cannot do well, please also offer guidance, seniors," Ye Cheng stood up and said, cupping his hands.
"Brother Ye, in our circle, we never give advice; we just get together to chat. In a word, upon entering the Asia News Agency, you are like-minded good brothers," Liu Liqian of Ideal Group said with a smile.
Others also nodded.
In the circle of the Asia News Agency, there was a bit of a sense of righteousness, akin to the rivers and lakes.
"However, our Asia News Agency has a rule, which is that there is a test for new members."
Liu Liqian said, "Old Chen, when I came in, I talked about the direction of future investment, but I was criticized by you, so it shouldn't be too much for me to make this request today?"
Saying that, he looked at Chen Yinong.
The test for new members can be proposed by one of the members. Basically, the focus is on the future investment direction, which tests the members' grasp and understanding of the future direction.
The people present are all bigwigs and have unique understandings in their respective fields; otherwise, they would not have achieved what they have today.
For them, if they want to progress further, it is crucial to have a correct grasp of the direction of future investment.
Those who cannot keep up with the pace of the times, cannot keep up with the development of the economy, and cannot keep up with the industry's renewal may be eliminated overnight.
How many former business leaders, resting on their laurels, have finally disappeared?
Therefore, Asia News Agency's annual gathering is actually to discuss business operations, industry conditions, future investment directions, and so on.
Moreover, they will also establish some cooperation during the gathering or help each other.
Whenever someone encounters difficulties, other members will often support and help.
This is the greatest benefit of belonging to such circles.
Why are only bosses of the same level eligible to join?
It's because if you are too weak, they won't be of any help to you. What's the use of having you?
If it weren't for Chen Yinong fighting for Ye Cheng's reputation in advance, I'm afraid these bigwigs wouldn't have taken Ye Cheng seriously at all.
Even so, they still wanted to find a chance to probe Ye Cheng's capabilities.
Discussing the future investment direction can often reveal some things.
"Brother Ye, then you can talk about it casually," Chen Yinong laughed.
He also knew that Ye Cheng had to pass this test.
However, he was quite confident in Ye Cheng; otherwise, he would not have recommended him for membership.
"Since you seniors want to hear some of my thoughts, then I am naturally very happy. If there is something that cannot be said, I will help to point it out and fill in the gaps," Ye Cheng laughed.
He is not afraid of this.
As someone who has been reborn since 2021, he still has some certainty about the next few years.
Everyone smiled and nodded, eager to hear what rising star Ye Cheng had to say.
"I will talk about three aspects. This is a viewpoint that I have derived from various sources. The first aspect is based on population growth. The seventh census will be conducted next year. I believe many people will be very curious about the domestic population structure. There are many discussions now that our country has entered an aging society and the birth rate of newborns has dropped significantly, so there are many opportunities in this area. Moreover, I estimate that the three-child policy should be released in the next two years. Therefore, pension and childbirth will also become very forward-looking investment directions, which can be further divided into many branches."
Ye Cheng talked with Kai Kai.
Then he looked at Zhang Lianxin, chairman of the Future Group, and said, "Dong Zhang, you are a leader in the education industry. Do you think that opening up the third child and formulating various reasonable policies to improve fertility can benefit the field of education and education capital?"
Zhang Lianxin was stunned for a moment, not knowing that Ye Cheng was asking him. He immediately smiled and said, "This is for sure. After all, once more newborns are born, more matching educational resources must be needed. In schools, there are insufficient educational resources. Under these circumstances, there must be a lot of extracurricular resources to supplement it, and now parents are very willing to spend money in order to nurture their children."
Can he be smart with a body of 100 million, and can he rely on the arrangement of 7?
But Ye Cheng knows that in the next two or three years, education capital bosses like Zhang Lianxin will be affected, causing their worth to plummet.
"Dong Zhang, do you know why the birth rate plummeted? After the opening of the second child, the birth rate did not increase accordingly." Ye Cheng asked back.
Zhang Lianxin frowned slightly; of course, he knew the reason.
Due to various reasons such as education, housing prices, medical care, etc., the cost of childcare is too high, making parents too stressed.
"So, I conclude that in order to solve the worries of parents, the above will definitely take corresponding measures. Only in this way can we fundamentally solve the problem of childbirth. I don't believe you can't see these problems above," Ye Cheng laughed.
He didn't say too much, because these big guys are not fools but very smart.
It's just that he's in the game and can't see through it.
After being reminded by Ye Cheng, I immediately figured out some joints.
As one of the players, Zhang Lianxin is most sensitive to this issue. He was shocked and seemed to have thought of something. Then he actually stood up, picked up a cup of tea, and said to Ye Cheng, "Brother Ye, thank you for your words, reminding me. I will use this tea instead of wine to toast you."
As he spoke, he drank the tea in the cup.
The others present were dumbfounded; although they thought Ye Cheng was right, they didn't think as deeply as Zhang Lianxin did.
"Dong Zhang, I'm just guessing myself. Whether it's right or not depends on future development," Ye Cheng said.
"At least you gave me a wake-up call; otherwise, it's really troublesome when that time comes," Zhang Lianxin laughed.
"Brother Ye, what about the other two aspects?" Liu Liqian, chairman of Ideal Group, asked curiously.
Not only him, but everyone else was also curious.
Just the population direction mentioned just now made them look at it with admiration.
"The second aspect, which I call the direction of carbon neutrality, involves new energy, photovoltaics, environmental protection, artificial intelligence, and other related industries. This should be the general trend in the future, and it is also the way that Xia Guo will overtake Yumei on the corner. The direction of the national development strategy is even related to the success of the fourth scientific and technological revolution. There are many branch directions that can be subdivided. As long as one can find the right one, it is a big opportunity," Ye Cheng continued.
"I know about this. The individual mentioned above is indeed planning to make arrangements in this area. However, in the field of new energy, official support has been provided in the past, but the impact has not been significant, and a series of problems have appeared. Do you think the aforementioned will continue to invest here?"
Xu Dapeng, chairman of Dapeng Group, said.
Because Dapeng Group is a new energy enterprise that produces electric vehicles, it once rose through official support and finally gained a firm foothold.
Regarding the aforementioned policies regarding the direction of new energy, Xu Dapeng is the most concerned.
"I think it should be more than that," Ye Cheng laughed.
Because in the future, the aforementioned will directly intervene, lead, and even set up a carbon neutrality research center. Under such a general trend, it is conceivable that there are many opportunities.
Ye Cheng didn't tell these bosses specifics because there was no need for it; he just talked about the direction.
Moreover, it is impossible for him to fully predict the future situation.
This is an infinitely valuable future insight.
At this moment, all the bosses present highly recognize Ye Cheng.
Both the population in the front and the carbon neutrality in the back are of great reference significance and have a great impact on them.
"That's the third aspect," another prominent figure couldn't wait to ask.
This figure is Zhan Youcheng, chairman of BAK Group. The company's business direction belongs to mining machine chips, and it can be regarded as a new star in the capital world. It has risen by relying on digital currency and joined Asia News Agency three years ago.
"The third is the field of semiconductor chips and technology. With the lighthouse country's further suppression of our Xia country, it will inevitably lead to this kind of high-end field. To support a large number of related industries, if population is the foundation and carbon neutrality is the long-term goal, then in the field of semiconductor chips and technology, breaking the US blockade is the most urgent need," Ye Cheng said with a smile. "These three aspects are just my little imaginations, and I can't take them too seriously. If you seniors think it's unreasonable, just take it as my nonsense."
"Brother Ye, you're not just speaking your mind, but you're making sense and making every point incisive," Chen Yinong was the first to say.
With what Ye Cheng said, he definitely felt a sense of enlightenment and had a clearer grasp of the future investment direction.
The people present were all business elites, and none of them were foolish. They understood the value of Ye Cheng's words.
As Chen Yinong spoke, the other prominent figures also praised him.
This was a genuine compliment, not mere words.
In particular, some prominent figures in the industry that are closely related to the direction Ye Cheng mentioned saw his words as a treasure. They already had some vague insights but no clear direction. However, now that Ye Cheng had spoken, their thoughts suddenly became clearer.
