How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 571 - 262 The Officially Recognized Wealthiest Person_2
"Now you suddenly appear as a businessman who views money as dirt, do we believe you, or do we believe our own judgment?"
"If what you said earlier is true, then I can say, your awareness in today's domestic market, even in the whole world, is second to none, and even we three can't match you."
"So, are you really such a person?"
Upon hearing Mr. Chu's well-founded words, Gu Heng shook his head with a bitter smile, "I can't hide anything from the three leaders.
I admit, what I said earlier wasn't truly my inner thoughts, and my awareness is not that high.
But!
The promises I made just now are real."

The three bosses still looked doubtful, waiting for Gu Heng to continue.
Gu Heng took a deep breath and slowly explained, "I believe at your positions, you are very clear about the source of my assets.
True, all my funds come from the international financial markets, and I still have a large amount of assets that can be liquidated at any time. Currently, although the amount of more than a hundred billion I'm investing seems substantial, it is not yet enough to cause me any serious difficulty.
Money, to a certain extent, is just a string of numbers, a saying you leaders have likely heard before.
And that's the situation I am in right now.
In terms of material enjoyment, I can easily obtain anything in the world, which is exactly why the pursuit of material things has lost its appeal to me.
So, I simply decided to use part of my money to provide for my own personal enjoyment.
Originally, I planned to establish a company, to become a giant financial conglomerate, but halfway through, I discovered that I simply lack the talent. No matter how much capital I put in, it would never reach that level, so I changed my approach.
Since I can't become a financial tycoon, why not become a people's entrepreneur who seeks welfare for the grassroots of Hua Country? Spending money is definitely easier than earning it.
That's why I made such a commitment on stage earlier.
But this promise is made on the condition that it won't compromise my own interests. If one day my wealth diminishes to a point that it no longer allows me to benefit society and instead affects my personal living standards, I will undoubtedly withdraw."
Having said this, Gu Heng immediately felt more relaxed.
After all, he was a refined egoist; pretending to be a charitable figure of high ideological awareness was just too exhausting...
Listening to Gu Heng's words, the three bosses exchanged glances, then each saw an expression of admiration in each other's eyes.
Mr. Hua also spoke slowly, "Rather than believing you are a saint, I prefer the words you just spoke. You are truly worthy of being handpicked by the top leadership as one of Hua Country's top ten outstanding youths. In fact, I believe that it is unfair to you to be listed among the other nine."
Mr. Hua's praise embarrassed Gu Heng, who quickly said, "Oh, it's really just about spending money I can't finish for a good reputation, you're making me blush by putting it that way, sir."
However, Mr. Hua shook his head, "One should judge by deeds, not by intentions; no one is perfect by heart.
That you can do so much is already unique, and there is no need to overcriticize.
As for your statement that if one day your wealth diminishes, it will affect your standard of living and you will withdraw, let me tell you, that's impossible.
If you can maintain your current mindset, your wealth in Hua Country will never diminish. This is not just a promise from me, but from everyone I represent."
With that, he didn't wait for Gu Heng to speak, stood up, and approached the podium.
In a moment when the audience hadn't yet reacted, he whispered into the microphone, "Please be quiet."
His voice, both congenial and authoritative, immediately silenced the audience, who had been discussing Gu Heng's startling speech. The reporters gripped their cameras and sound collectors, quietly waiting for Mr. Hua's statement.
The series of development plans Gu Heng had just announced were enough to cause an uproar on the internet. Now, with Mr. Hua stepping forward to reveal the details of the partnership between the Ministry of Industry and Hengyi Group, this was another super news item...
All reporters had but one thought, the establishment ceremony of Hengyi Group was indeed worthwhile...
"Regarding the cooperation between the Ministry of Industry and Hengyi Group, I will briefly disclose some information, and you can pay attention to the press conference held by the Ministry of Industry on September 7th for detailed information."
"The Ministry of Industry will invest 800 billion to create a large-scale high-tech semiconductor company named 'Huaguo Semiconductor'.
The peer industrial standards will be 'Huaguo Tobacco Industry' and 'Guisheng Maotai', directly overseen by the Ministry of Industry.
The company's main business will be high-precision semiconductor industry, and it is expected to launch a mass-produced 2nm chip with national technology by 2026, achieving complete global leadership in semiconductor technology!
The company is a public-private partnership, with Mr. Gu Heng's wholly-owned Hengyi Group holding a 25% share, and the Ministry of Industry holding a 75% share."
Another shock, more intense than a tsunami...
Especially for those businesses that had heard a hint of the news, their pupils dilated at Mr. Hua's words, perhaps many times over...
The representative of Huawei Company, the head of the publicity department, had his expression change several times...
He was aware of the attention the upper echelons paid to the semiconductor industry, and just recently, a large number of scientific researchers had been borrowed from Huawei's labs...
