While touring Taobao City, it felt like visiting a small commodity wholesale market.

Books, diet teas, women's stockings - all kinds of goods were dazzling. One store selling MP3 players was piled high with express delivery boxes, indicating their sales were particularly good.

Shops selling breast enhancement and leg slimming products were doing even better. Su Yehao figured these things were mostly useless. Considering the food safety issues involved, they should really be cracked down on.

The shop owners probably never imagined that a casual glance from Su Yehao might cut off their source of wealth and bring about disaster.

After all, the things they sold weren't very effective and weren't exactly legitimate.

The online shopping industry was still in a stage of rough, unregulated development. Instead of waiting to be called out before making corrections, Su Yehao felt it was necessary to be a little more proactive and strengthen risk control.

On second thought, it reminded Su Yehao of the Sanlu incident.

He couldn't remember exactly which year it happened, but he remembered that for a little bit of profit, people began to doubt the safety of domestically produced food. The indirect economic losses were likely to be in the hundreds of billions, almost destroying the entire domestic infant formula industry, and also affecting other fields.

In his opinion, this situation occurred mainly because of lax regulation and insufficient penalties.

If they learned from the Americans and widely adopted a high-pressure policy of punitive damages in areas such as financial security and food safety, imposing fines that would bankrupt people and make them tremble with fear, even sending them away for serious crimes, he believed both the stock market and small workshops would become much cleaner.

Thinking of this, Su Yehao felt he might be able to fund some testing institutions, using the name of enterprise risk control to vigorously check the products on the market. Maybe he could nip a devastating crisis in the bud.

Although the Sanlu incident prompted society to strengthen its attention to food safety issues, it seemed too cold-blooded to let so many innocent infants bear the cost. So now that he remembered it, he didn't plan to stand idly by.

Recently, Sweet Fisher Entertainment was filming a sequel to *Boys Over Flowers*, with the story set against the backdrop of Hong Kong's wealthy families, titled *The Heirs*.

Su Yehao put Marvel's classic line "With great power comes great responsibility" into it. Although he thought it was a bit cheesy, the principle wasn't wrong.

Since making money had become an easy little problem, he inevitably needed to have higher pursuits.

For example, investing in cutting-edge education, helping people get medical treatment for serious illnesses, investing in clean hydropower, and building Emperor Crab Island to attract tourists to the country - in his eyes, these were all very meaningful.

Not to mention retaining internet dividends and seizing semiconductor dividends, which were huge cakes worth trillions of dollars, with far-reaching impact.

Ordinary people bury their heads in their daily lives and can't reach certain levels.

According to the news Su Yehao received, some consulting institutions in Washington had already begun to find ways to break through the mainland's defenses, planning to spend ten years laying out a strategy to harvest the fruits of reform and opening up.

This was mainly because since becoming a hyperpower, America had become increasingly assertive.

Since they had made gains in South America, Europe, and Southeast Asia, it was natural for them to set their sights on the mainland, the largest developing country. Fortunately, the mainland's economy wasn't open enough, and its control over the situation was very strong.

For example, after blocking a batch of public intellectual accounts that Su Yehao didn't like on Silver Sea Weibo, helping the higher-ups reduce some negative impacts, American institutions had contacted him, ostensibly saying they hoped to create a "more open internet environment." This seemed to explain many problems, proving that there was indeed an invisible hand pulling the strings.

Unlike his previous muddled life, Su Yehao's vision had now been completely opened up.

For example, the root cause of why Old Y was beaten was that he used the euro to settle oil transactions.

For example, the reason why the mainland successfully joined the WTO was that American companies wanted to make money, and also hoped to use this to open up the mainland market and then harvest it with old tricks. It was just that it was messed up in his previous life, and they didn't expect to let the wolf into the house.

Similar games were commonplace on the world stage.

There wasn't much Su Yehao could do, he could only rely on having money to help deploy some core industries in advance, keep more of the profits in his own hands, and let others earn less.

In the short term, he could still create the illusion of being able to please everyone, but in the future, he would inevitably need to choose a side.

That's why Su Yehao believed that he should travel the world while he was young. It might not be safe to go out later.

Involving trillions of dollars in interests, anything could happen. That simple set of values was no longer suitable for him; the water was deep.

This was also one of the reasons why Su Yehao chose the "piggy bank," thinking of continuously cashing out from the United States in the future and putting his assets in a safe place, to avoid being envied by the Americans, who would find a reason to freeze or confiscate them, and openly suppress and retaliate.

The reason was obvious... what kind of robber doesn't rob?

Even if he cooperated with American companies to make money from the mainland, the final outcome would probably not be very good.

Therefore, it was better to be tough from the beginning. Since he could stand and be a human being, why betray his own people and be a lackey for others in exchange for a chance to be buried with a red cloth covering him.

In the dark, Su Yehao already had a hunch that when he took his business to the extreme, he probably wouldn't be able to put his eggs in different baskets like he did now. So there was no need to do favors and bring American companies to share the dividends of Taobao and tAt. Now he just wanted to fatten up these cash cows and keep them for his retirement.

Taking the escalator to the second floor, the express delivery boxes outside one store were piled up like a small mountain.

When Yin Liuli saw the store sign, her eyes twitched, and she said, "Online shopping is really convenient. People are embarrassed to go to physical stores to buy these adult toys, so they buy them online instead. The sales are exaggerated."

Through the glass, Su Yehao glanced at the items in the adult products store. Even he couldn't help but blush, and said in a low voice, "Want to go in and have a look? There are a few sets of clothes that seem to suit you. You used to like buying those, why haven't you bought any recently?"

Yin Liuli gently patted him and scolded with a smile:

"You have the nerve to say that? Who told you to laugh at me every time? Besides, the maids help to tidy up my things. What if they find them hidden somewhere? Wouldn't I want to dig a hole and crawl into it?"

Su Yehao didn't say much, just said, "What are you afraid of? You already have a child. I'll just buy you a safe."

……

After shopping in Taobao City.

When Su Yehao appeared at the Taobao branch, the girls at the front desk were startled and hurriedly called to report to the executives.

Boss Ma was out running business and wasn't in the company today. Su Yehao briefly understood the recent sales situation and mentioned the issue of establishing a quality inspection center for random checks to avoid safety hazards.

There were more than four hundred people in the branch, mainly responsible for marketing.

After a quick tour, Su Yehao was a little tired. He told the executives not to arrange a dinner for him, and went directly to Nong Qingying's Aman Hotel on West Lake to check in.

Since acquiring Aman and giving it to Nong Qingying, this girl had invested some money in it and successively opened more than a dozen new hotels. The scale was relatively small, but the advantage was that they were particularly exquisite...
