"Haha! I was just speaking off the cuff, offering some personal opinions and thoughts. I'm well aware that what I'm suggesting might not be technically feasible right now. It might seem like I'm deliberately making things difficult for our engineers and R&D experts," Yi Anguo said with a laugh.

"You've made many points. It's true that with current technology, many of your suggestions are very difficult to achieve, but they aren't entirely impossible. There is a lot of scientific rationale behind what you've proposed. As long as we continue our research efforts, we can certainly make them a reality. So, for the engineers and R&D experts, this is less of a challenge and more of a helpful pointer. It's beneficial to them and offers endless advantages," Liang Song remarked.

"Of course, if they follow your suggestions and successfully develop these technologies one by one to realize the functions you've mentioned, it won't just be a great benefit to them. Ultimately, our company will reap the largest rewards. And that, of course, represents you, the Chairman."

"Additionally, I have another suggestion. Our company is currently producing integrated circuit boards, providing silicon wafer foundry services, and researching smartphones. In the future, Huaxin Company might undertake other projects as well. I feel that our company's name, Huaxin Integrated Circuits Co., Ltd., might not be very fitting anymore," Liang Song added.

"Then let's just call it Huaxin Technology Company, or Huaxin Technology Group," Yi Anguo suggested after a moment of thought.

"Huaxin Technology Group does sound good. However, I think it would be even better to name it Huaxing Technology Group. The 'xing' is from the saying 'a single spark can start a prairie fire'," Liang Song proposed.

"Huaxing, the Star of Huaxia. The symbolism is quite nice. Let's go with that name, Huaxing Technology Group!" Yi Anguo said, nodding in approval.

After his visit to Huaxing, Yi Anguo went to Anguo Property Management Company and Anjing Online Supermarket. Due to the nature of their work, many employees at these two companies had to remain at their posts and were unable to go home for family reunions.

As for Anguo Redwood Furniture Factory, most of its employees were on holiday, with only security staff on duty.

He didn't need to worry about Anjing Trading Company, Chuan Yu Restaurant, or Chen's Enterprises, nor did he need to extend any greetings to them.

If Anjing Trading Company still had some connection to him, then Chuan Yu Restaurant and Chen's Enterprises had absolutely nothing to do with him anymore.

In 2007, Chen's Enterprises developed at a tremendous pace. The Dongguan Huafeng Industrial Park was completed, and subsidiaries of the Huafeng Group successively moved into the park and began normal operations.

With a large number of domestic mobile phone brands, astonishing shipment volumes, and Nokia as a major client, the Huafeng Precision Technology Group never had to worry about orders. Its factories operated overtime every day, and profits were excellent.

However, these profits paled in comparison to the income from the stock and global oil futures investments made by the Financial Investment Department of Chen's Enterprises.

Although Yi Anguo, acting to protect his own interests, had not shared the top ten performing stocks with Chen's Enterprises, their broad investment scope and large capital injections meant their returns were no less than his.

Combined with their gains from international crude oil futures, Chen's Enterprises had also profited immensely, equaling or even surpassing Yi Anguo.

After all, the Financial Investment Department of Chen's Enterprises had many traders on its payroll, and they certainly weren't freeloaders.

In contrast, Yi Anguo practiced a "sit-and-wait" approach, without frequent trading, such as buying low and selling high.

Once Yi Anguo took a position, he typically held it until his objective was met. After buying international crude oil futures, he had almost no traders managing them.

His stock investments were managed similarly. Apart from the initial portfolio setup, which involved so many stocks that he had to hire professional traders, he rarely used them once the positions were established.

It was only when the time came to sell off and liquidate his holdings that he rehired traders to manage the sales.

By then, the traders could see the returns on each stock, but there was nothing they could do. Yi Anguo didn't have to worry about them copying his trades or setting up any "rat trading" schemes.

Chen Jianguo and his wife were doting on their grandson, Chen Feilong, who was a little over a year old, their faces beaming with smiles.

"Ting! Feilong is already over a year old. Don't you think it's time to consider having a second child?" Chen Jianjun said, looking at his daughter who was reading company documents. "You should have more children quickly while your mom and I can still help out. Once we're old, we won't be able to help even if we want to."

"Dad! What's the rush? We already have Feilong, so why are you in such a hurry?" Chen Ting replied with dissatisfaction.

"You're going to have a second one sooner or later anyway," her mother said. "Your dad is just looking out for you. Besides, if you have a second child sooner, won't Feilong have a little brother or sister for company? Plus, it's better for women to have children when they're younger. It gets harder as you get older, and childbirth becomes riskier at an advanced maternal age."

"Mom! Having a baby isn't just up to me. It depends on timing, luck, fate, and all that," Chen Ting said helplessly.

"Why don't you go see Yi Anguo more often? If he spends more time with you, won't the chances increase?" Chen Jianjun suggested. "You can worry less about the company's affairs; I'm still here! Besides, the company is on the right track now, not like before. There's practically nothing that needs our special attention."

"Dad! The company's current success is thanks to Yi Anguo," Chen Ting said. "Especially the Financial Investment Department. With such huge earnings from the stock market and international crude oil futures this year, shouldn't Yi Anguo get a share of the dividends? His name isn't even mentioned in the dividend plan. Are you planning on giving him nothing at all?"

Chen Jianjun was taken aback for a moment. "Logically, he should get a share, but isn't he family? The company belongs to our Chen family. Huafeng Group has other shareholders, but Chen's Enterprises doesn't. Sooner or later, isn't Chen's Enterprises going to belong to his son, Feilong? Yi Anguo certainly isn't short on money. He must have earned a fortune in the stock and futures markets, so does it really matter whether we give him a dividend or not? If we send him a dividend, wouldn't that seem a bit distant? He might even be a little unhappy about it."

After listening, Chen Ting thought for a moment and replied, "Whether he accepts it or not is his business. But if we don't offer it at all, who knows what he'll think? And even though Feilong is his son, Feilong's surname is Chen! Besides, he has other children, and Chen's Enterprises won't have anything to do with them in the future! It wouldn't be right to give him nothing unless our Chen family merges with the Yi family. Dad, would you be willing to let Yi Anguo's other children share Chen's Enterprises equally with Feilong in the future?"

"I certainly wouldn't be," Chen Ting continued. "We have Chen's Enterprises and Huafeng Group to pass down to Feilong. That's more than enough. We don't expect them to inherit Yi Anguo's assets."

Chen Jianjun pondered her words and felt his daughter had a point. "If we are to give Yi Anguo a dividend, how much do you think would be appropriate?" he asked.

Faced with this question, Chen Ting hesitated, feeling conflicted. Giving too much felt like a painful loss, but giving too little would be worse than giving nothing at all.
