I'm back in 1990

Chapter 388: He who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present.

The whole family was deeply moved and couldn't calm down for a long time. The word that kept coming to mind was "unexpected".

They never imagined their son would build such a large business empire. It all felt like a dream. How old was he? Old Huang and Zeng Lijuan were at a loss for words.

Old Yu and Zheng Aiying never imagined that their daughter would marry a billionaire. What they couldn't understand was how their son-in-law had managed it. Could the difference between people really be so vast?

The uncle and aunt were also inwardly surprised. They knew their nephew was filial and successful, but they never imagined he would be this successful. It was truly astonishing.

The Zeng sisters, Zeng Hong and Zeng Xia, were the same. At this moment, they seemed to not recognize their younger brother. Was this still the same little brother who used to follow them around like a shadow?

Tang Jianhua and Huo Miao looked at each other, and it was clear from their eyes that they were both under a lot of psychological pressure.

I knew my brother-in-law was rich, but I never imagined he was this rich. The richest man in China is actually my brother-in-law?

Yu Xiang was trying hard to recall, from when she first met Huang Xiaochuan as a child until they got together after he came to Shanghai. Ever since Huang Xiaochuan arrived in Shanghai, he had started a series of dazzling actions that left her bewildered.

Yu Xiang still remembers that day when Huang Xiaochuan took her to the warehouse in Lugong Market to see the warehouse full of postcards. He told her that these postcards were worth millions and also gave her several savings accounts with a large sum of money. At that time, she had saved up a few hundred yuan by living frugally. She had never seen so much money before.

She'd finally gotten used to having money and a house, but the real expense was yet to come? And this wasn't just a few million; for one thing, the two skyscrapers under construction in Shanghai alone would cost at least several hundred million! That's terrifying! Even the printing presses can't keep up with how fast her husband earns money!

With more wealth, Yu Xiang became somewhat worried. She only wanted to live a peaceful life with her lover, but given the current situation, it seemed unlikely that she could return to her previous normal life.

The grandmother felt proud, satisfied, and gratified. Her grandson was very good to the family and took good care of them. Having such a grandson meant that her life had not been in vain.

After lunch, everyone prepared to return to their rooms.

Auntie tugged at Zeng Hong's clothes and whispered, "Tell Xiaoxia to come to my and your dad's room with Huo Miao in a little while. You and Tang Jianhua should come too. Your dad has something to say to you."

Zeng Hong nodded to indicate that she understood.

Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Xiang were also called together by their parents, and some things needed to be discussed behind closed doors.

After being shocked, Mr. and Mrs. Huang and Mr. and Mrs. Yu were worried. They were worried that their success would attract unwanted attention. This was not a matter of ten million or one hundred million; the amount of property involved was far too large, far beyond their comprehension. So they couldn't help but start to worry again.

The six people gathered in Lao Huang and Zeng Lijuan's room. It was a suite. Turning right upon entering, the bedroom was the first room to the left, and the bathroom was the first room to the left. A few steps forward, next to the bathroom, was the walk-in closet, which was separated from the bedroom by a partition. This partition was used to create a small rest area.

All six people were sitting there. Zeng Lijuan ignored the luxurious decoration and exquisite furniture in the room. She was full of worries. Seeing that everyone was sitting down and not talking, she nudged Lao Huang, who was sitting next to her.

After decades of marriage, Lao Huang immediately understood what his wife meant.

He said to Huang Xiaochuan with great concern, "Xiaochuan, you're making money too fast. Your mother, your parents-in-law, and I are all worried about you! We're afraid something might happen to you."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiang gripped Huang Xiaochuan's arm tightly, feeling even more uneasy.

Huang Xiaochuan patted Yu Xiang's hand and gave her a reassuring look to put her mind at ease.

Huang Xiaochuan knew what his four elders were worried about. They had experienced many special periods, and from their perspective, it was natural for them to be concerned. However, Huang Xiaochuan was not worried. Firstly, the first pot of gold he earned was not sinful, and every penny was obtained through legitimate means.

Secondly, he knew the principle of having multiple burrows. The industries he controlled were all cross-shareholdings of dozens of offshore companies, making it quite difficult to investigate with the current technology. However, it would be much easier in twenty years when the era of big data arrives. But by then, Huang Xiaochuan would have already taken precautions.

So he smiled and explained to his four parents and his wife.

"You don't need to worry. I earned all of this legally and compliantly. Besides, I control these industries in a very secure way through companies registered overseas. If you look at the records, they have nothing to do with me."

Furthermore, I have already prepared my will. In case anything happens to me, these assets will be entrusted to a foundation for safekeeping. The annual income generated will be distributed to you according to the predetermined amount. Of course, this foundation was also established by me.

The suggestion to make a will came from the lawyer Huang Xiaochuan hired. Huang Xiaochuan felt it was necessary, as he was controlling more and more industries and assets and needed to plan ahead.

Upon hearing that a will had been made, Yu Xiang was so frightened that tears streamed down her face. Her four parents were also terrified by the word "will."

Huang Xiaochuan quickly explained and reassured them, "That's what wealthy people in Hong Kong and overseas do. It's mainly because they have too much wealth. If they don't make arrangements in advance, these assets could turn relatives against each other if something happens in the future. You must have heard a lot about this, right?"

After Huang Xiaochuan had calmed everyone down, he continued, "The reason I didn't leave these properties to Yu Xiang and the rest of the family in my will is because you can't control them. In fact, they would only bring you unnecessary trouble. So it's better to entrust them to a foundation to ensure that our whole family will be well-off in the future."

Furthermore, as the ancients said, "He who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present." I'm setting up a safe in advance, so don't worry about me. I take good care of myself! I also want to advise you that we are all just movers of wealth. Don't think that this money can be kept in your own hands for generations to come.

Looking back at history, how many powerful families and noble clans have vanished into thin air? That's why I want to work hard to make money and enjoy life to the fullest. You should do the same. Just enjoy your lives. Work when you want to work, rest when you want to rest. As long as you don't do anything illegal or disorderly, I will support you. This is one of the reasons why I work hard to make money, so that you can live a better life.

In my opinion, my family's happiness is far more important than money in this life.

Huang Xiaochuan's words brought tears to the eyes of Yu Xiang, Zeng Lijuan, and Zheng Aiying. Old Huang and Old Yu looked directly at Huang Xiaochuan and realized that it was no wonder this young man had achieved such great success; he was so insightful at such a young age.

Meanwhile, a family conversation was taking place in the uncle and aunt's room, and the topic was, of course, related to Huang Xiaochuan.

Zeng Jiahua said to his two daughters and sons-in-law with a serious expression: "Your younger brother brought you to Hong Kong and told you all about these things, which shows that he doesn't treat you as outsiders. You should know that."

There are some things I need to tell you beforehand. None of you are allowed to say a word about this to anyone outside. It wouldn't be a good thing if outsiders knew that your underlings were so wealthy. I may not be very educated, but I understand the principle. I'm sure you all understand the fear of thieves eyeing your assets.

Zeng Hong said first, "Mom and Dad, don't worry! Jianhua and I know what we're doing."

Zeng Xia responded, "I know it's just about making a fortune behind closed doors."

Then, not forgetting to scare Huo Miao, he said, "Did you hear that? When you get back, you're not allowed to brag to anyone about these things."

Huo Miao was so annoyed. It was as if those words were something only he could do.

However, he still replied, "I know what's good and what's bad; I'm not a three-year-old."

Zeng Jiahua glared at his daughter and son-in-law with displeasure: "I haven't finished speaking yet, what's all the noise about? Listen to me properly."

The group then shut their mouths and continued listening to Zeng Jiahua.

"Your mother and I have seen how good your younger brother is to you, but it's a favor, not his duty. He's not surnamed Zeng, and he's not your biological brother. Besides, even if he were your biological brother, he wouldn't do what your younger brother does."

I'm warning you here: be content and don't be greedy. The money your younger brother earns is his, and you're not allowed to have any foolish thoughts about it. Although I don't earn as much money as your younger brother, it's enough for both of you to live comfortably for the rest of your lives. Besides, those shops on Guanqian Street are enough for both of you to live comfortably. You know how those houses came about.

We've bought you a villa in Shanghai and even registered your household registration there. What other younger brother would do that? Having a brother like this is a blessing you accumulated in your past life; cherish it."

At this point, the aunt chimed in, "Your father is right. Your younger brother is a sentimental child. Don't hurt his feelings over a little money. I know this child. He was raised by your grandmother and me since he was little, and he grew up with you two sisters. In his heart, you two sisters are more important to him than money. Look at how he treats Xuanxuan and Liujin!"

Zeng Hong and Zeng Xia knew perfectly well how their younger brother treated them; it was no exaggeration to say that even their own brothers might not have done the same.

Zeng Hong said to Zeng Jiahua and her aunt, "Mom and Dad, don't worry! We will treat our little brother the same way we treated him before. You're right, family is the most important thing."

Zeng Xia nodded, "I agree with my older sister."
