Jiang Cheng could think so far ahead because of his past life experiences and the inspiration he drew from Tianhaha Company.
Back then, when the founder and CEO of Tianhaha Company passed away,
The successor, the Eldest Princess of Tianhaha, was initially caught in a forced takeover attempt by the company's shareholders due to her reforms.
The situation at that time was precarious.
But in the end, she successfully launched a surprise counterattack by relying on the powerful raw material supply chain system behind Tianhaha.
This counterattack not only brought down the company's veterans,
But also allowed the Eldest Princess of Tianhaha to firmly secure the core position of the company.
The key factor in all this was that the leading raw material supply enterprises in Tianhaha's production supply chain were all owned by the Eldest Princess.
These raw material supply chain companies were like sharp swords, firmly controlling the lifeblood of Tianhaha's survival.
In fact, as early as when her father served as the CEO of Tianhaha Company, he had already begun secretly expanding the company's supply chain industry.
Moreover, he cleverly registered all the companies involved in the development of raw materials under his daughter's name.
Subsequently, relying on his management power, he systematically replaced those raw material supply companies one by one.
Successfully making his daughter's companies take over the entire raw material supply business of Tianhaha Company.
This step not only firmly protected the future path of Tianhaha Company's development, preventing other competitors in the market from surrounding and blocking them,
But more importantly, it gained more winning chances and leverage for his daughter to manage Tianhaha Company later.
Jiang Cheng's move was to emulate this practice.
It is said that behind the booming rise of one leading enterprise, another leading enterprise will surely be supported to rise along with it.
The production of lithography machines will inevitably drive China's chip industry.
So what Jiang Cheng wants to do is not just lithography machines, but even the raw materials for lithography machine production, as well as other key technologies needed in the chip manufacturing process.
Facing such a grand plan, Jiang Cheng responded nonchalantly: "It's just a basic operation, don't get too excited. When you have time, help me register a company first; this is just the preliminary stage."
Hearing this, Shen Chong, who was nearby, immediately spoke up: "Understood, Young Master. I will handle the matters regarding this properly. Additionally, there is another important issue, which is the funding. A large-scale project investment like this will certainly not be a small amount. Second Master's intention is to transfer Mingsheng Group's charity fund to you, and you can arrange all the funds yourself."
"Old Shen, Mingsheng Group is not listed. I still don't know how much my Second Master's assets are??"
Shen Chong paused for a moment upon hearing this: "This... I'm not actually sure about the specifics, but I can tell you for certain that it's definitely much more than those so-called richest men."
After hearing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
He naturally believed Shen Chong's words.
In a country as vast and complex as Huaxia, the distribution of wealth is often not as simple and clear as it appears on the surface.
Those who make it onto the rich lists are certainly eye-catching.
But in reality, there are many wealthy people who remain hidden and keep a low profile.
After all, power is greater than money.
Jiang Cheng remembered an explosive news headline that read:
"He Kun, the corrupt official who held the record for over 300 years, never expected his record to be surpassed by someone 300 years later."
Although Jiang Cheng couldn't remember the exact amount of money involved at that time,
When this news was exposed, the entire country was shocked.
Because this value directly exceeded the wealth of the richest man.
Although it was later changed to 50 million embezzled due to negative influence,
But would you believe it?? A high-level executive of the 'Two Oil Barrels' being pulled down from the clouds for a mere 50 million? Stop joking, okay?
After a brief thought, Jiang Cheng shook his head decisively and refused: "It's not needed for now. Regarding the funding issue, I plan to find a way to solve it myself first, and talk to Second Master when there's no other way."
Hearing this, Shen Chong quickly cut in: "Young Master, the next investment is not a small amount. Although it's a cooperation, if you want to occupy a 70% share, you will inevitably need to bear greater responsibility and pressure in terms of funding."
"I know. Isn't the defection not complete yet?? Wait until he gets the design drawings and everything out, then we'll see. I know what I'm doing."
Seeing Jiang Cheng say this, Shen Chong didn't persuade him further, and even thought more highly of Jiang Cheng in his heart.
Not accepting Second Master's assets wasn't because Jiang Cheng was being arrogant.
Although Great-Grandfather and Second Master had always shown him great care,
And Jiang Cheng also knew that he would most likely need to inherit the family's business in the future.
But he is still young now, at an age where he should go out and make his own way.
To be fair, in the past six months, with the power of the system, he had already gained a lot.
The wealth and achievements he had obtained could be considered a small success.
However, if he were to abruptly take over the massive Mingsheng Group now,
Then his more than half a year of operations would probably go to waste, and his halo would be directly overshadowed.
From then on, when people talked about him, he would probably just be labeled as the heir to Mingsheng Group.
It wasn't that Jiang Cheng was being pretentious.
If he were just a Second-generation rich without a system,
Then he would have gladly accepted Shen Chong's suggestion and even been deeply grateful.
But the situation is different now.
Following the current trend, the brilliant achievements he can achieve in the future might not be inferior to the prestigious Mingsheng Group.
It's just a matter of time.
In real life, even with blood ties between father and son,
One should try to rely on their own ability as much as possible when they are capable.
It is said that human emotions are very complex.
Although things passed down from the older generation are easy to take, holding them still feels somewhat unsettling.
This unease does not stem from material lack, but more from spiritual emptiness and confusion.
Otherwise, why would so many Second-generation rich go out to start businesses with such ambition, just to tear off their labels and increase their confidence?
Although Jiang Cheng is still relying on the system now,
But to put it bluntly, this system is on him, and it's his private product.
Money earned by relying on his own private product is definitely more confident than standing under the trees planted by predecessors.
At least in the future, when he talks to his own father or even Second Great-Grandfather, and makes certain decisions, he will have more decision-making power.
Of course, this situation currently only applies to people like Jiang Cheng who have cheats.
Ordinary people shouldn't foolishly go out and start from scratch; they should honestly rely on the resources accumulated by their families and then strive upwards.
