Rebirth: Return to 1991 to be the richest man

Chapter 1990 Vanity is at work
What Chen Congjun said is indeed true.

Moreover, when the Chen family was not prosperous before, they didn't actually have much envy in their hearts. Instead, they felt that they were too high-profile and flamboyant, and they started to waste money when they had some money.

In local terms, it is Baoli Baoqi.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Chen Jianghai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said gently:

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with it if you have money to build your own ancestral tomb. But if you build it too luxuriously, you will be jealous. As the saying goes, too much is too much, and this is the truth."

"The most important thing is to leave an impression on others - nouveau riche. To be honest, I hate this word."

"This is a derogatory connotation. What image comes to mind when you hear this word? Is it fat, rich, and spends money like water?"

"I don't want the Chen family to leave such an image to outsiders, or even our next generation to be branded with this image."

"This basically negates all our efforts and efforts, making people think that the development of our Lao Chen family is purely due to luck."

"But in fact, we are not. We have earned today's prosperous life with our own hands, hard work, sweat and wisdom, and we feel at ease."

"Of course, there is another reason that is my personal reason. You all know where I am now. Business wars are like battlefields. If there is another price war with foreign companies, these things will become their attacks on me. means."

"And those unscrupulous media will also promote these things. They like to report such gossip."

"The key is that because of their urinary properties, they will magnify some things infinitely, and they will catch people's attention in whatever way they can. At that time, many real things will naturally be distorted and turned into dirty water and poured on us."

"To put it more exaggeratedly, if these were seen by the higher-ups, they would also have some opinions on me."

"The trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them. It's true that the trees are so big that they attract the wind!"

"The more prosperous our Chen family becomes, the more we have to keep a low profile. Because this is our own private matter. If it attracts public attention, there will be no benefit at all. Instead, we will suffer unwarranted accusations and attacks."

"There are a lot of people in this world who are guilty of pinkeye, and those who have conflicts of interest with us will use this to make secret plans."

"In short, we are all from the same bloodline. Remember, our Chen family is tied together. One will be prosperous and the other will suffer."

"We handle private matters in a low-key manner, but when doing good deeds, we can keep a high-profile. Only in this way can we ensure that our old Chen family will be prosperous for a long time."

The purpose of what Chen Jianghai said was half true and half false was to persuade all the Chen family members to change their previous ideas.

Of course, his words were not completely groundless.

In fact, he has seen too many such examples.

For example, Ma Tian in the previous life is a living lesson.

After hearing Chen Jianghai's explanation, all the Chen family present understood why Chen Jianghai had other opinions on this matter.

Maybe some young people may not be able to understand the meaning, but old people like Chen Liye can completely understand Chen Jianghai's worries.

The reputation of nouveau riche is really bad, and they don't want to be pointed at behind their backs.

"Jiang Hai, I think you are right, and I support you."

Lin Wanqiu was the first to stand up and express support for her husband.

"Jiang Hai, are we thinking too simply, or are you taking a long-term view?"

At this moment, Chen Liye not only figured out what Chen Jianghai said, but also thought of the previous scene of moving the grave.

He guessed that the idea of ​​moving the tomb might have been his son's. Now after hearing his words, he was even more convinced of this guess.However, he had no intention of blaming Chen Jianghai. Instead, he felt that his son had really good intentions.

As for whether this would affect the Chen family's future fortune, he didn't care at all.

My son is so smart and cautious, he must be able to conquer nature.

If you rely on Feng Shui to change your destiny, what hope is there?

Although the ancestral graves require some construction, they should not be too ostentatious and should be controlled within a certain range.

Chen Congjun and Chen Jiangong naturally understand this truth.

As for the other Chen family members who were watching, they naturally had no objections when they saw this situation, and they all expressed their support for Chen Jianghai's actions.

"Jiang Hai, what you said makes sense. Then we will follow your ideas. We can just build the ancestral tomb a little better. There is no need to make it so luxurious."

"I believe that our ancestors have knowledge, and they should be very happy to see that we people are not extravagant and wasteful."

"After all, there are many things that cannot be judged just by their appearance. Now think about it, what era are we in, and it's a bit silly to build archways or something like that. They are all made for outsiders to see, and people with a discerning eye will laugh at them."

Chen Jiangong's face turned slightly red and he said a little ashamed.

Before, he was just thinking about how to be more glamorous and how to honor his ancestors. Now that he thinks about it, it is actually his own vanity that is at work.

He just wanted outsiders to see the grand scene of his old Chen family.

After all, I had a hard enough time in the past, and I was more or less looked down upon by some people.

Now that I have finally become prosperous, I naturally want to show off.

That's why he was so enthusiastic about rebuilding his ancestral tombs.

Chen Congjun thought of something through Chen Jianghai's words, so after everyone else had dispersed, he quickly found Chen Jianghai:

"Jiang Hai, building the ancestral tombs is a private matter for our family, so building the ancestral hall in the village is a public matter, right? The ancestral hall in our village has hardly been maintained in recent years and has already become dilapidated."

"How about we use this time to repair the ancestral tombs, we will also repair the ancestral hall in Chenjia Village, and then we will donate money for renovation in your name."

"This is a good thing for the village and can improve your prestige in Chenjia Village. And I believe that people from our clan will fully support it and increase the cohesion of our surname."

After hearing Chen Congjun's words, Chen Liye and Chen Jiangong's eyes lit up.

This can also be regarded as a kind of honoring one's ancestors.

The village is called Chenjiacun, and most of the people are named Chen. They were the same family a hundred years ago, and now they are getting closer and closer because of Chen Jianghai, and each other's interests are completely tied up.

"Second uncle, you are a very fast learner, but the donation for building the ancestral hall does not need to be in my name. I don't go back to the village much now, so it is useless to have a high prestige."

"It is quite necessary for you as the village chief. Of course, my father and my third uncle are also included in this matter. It would be more appropriate to donate money for the construction in the name of the three of you."

"In addition, as long as people with our surname are willing to contribute money and effort, we cannot stop them. This is not an ancestral hall for each family, but an ancestral hall for everyone in our village."

Chen Jianghai analyzed everyone.

After hearing this, Chen Congjun slapped his thigh hard: "Okay, I will do this tomorrow, but how much should we donate then?"
