Ye Xingbei thought about it and nodded, "Actually, I understand. It was the same in ancient times. I remember reading in a book that in ancient large families, the legitimate branch would hold official positions while the collaterals would engage in commerce. Otherwise, the officials wouldn't have money; they couldn't live well on their salaries alone, and those in commerce without the protection of authority would be easily bullied and couldn't hold their heads up high. Wealth and power have to work together for lasting success."
"Exactly, that's the principle!" Xie Jinfei said, "Actually, from the beginning, Grandpa wanted my older brother to go into politics, but at the time, he wasn't willing to and preferred doing business. Over the years, my brother's matured and changed his mind. He's decided that after developing the company further, he'll go into politics and leave the company to me."
