3 PM.

Chen Dong appeared before Elder Lin on time.

"Greetings, Elder Lin. It's been a while since I last saw you, and you seem to be getting better and better."

Chen Dong smiled broadly, flattering Old Lin.

Upon hearing this, Old Lin chuckled and scolded, "You rascal, it's been a while, and your tongue has gotten sharper and sharper."

"Please sit down!"

Old Lin pointed to a chair to the side and turned to Secretary Wang, instructing, "My quota just came through, go and make some snacks for Xiao Chen."

this.....?

Secretary Wang was taken aback; Old Master Lin was referring to the Da Hong Pao tea that had just been distributed.

This is Da Hong Pao from the mother tree; the annual yield is so limited, and with so many wolves and so little meat, everyone is eyeing it.

Even Lin Lao himself is reluctant to drink, but today Chen Donglai insisted that he be served Da Hong Pao tea, which shocked Secretary Wang.

"Why aren't you going yet?"

"oh!"

Secretary Wang responded and turned to leave.

Chen Dong was completely bewildered. What was going on?

"Kid, you're in luck today. I don't know where you got the news from, but you've come here to beg for a free meal from this old man."

As he spoke, he stared at Chen Dong with a suspicious look for a while.

"......"

Chen Dong was speechless.

Did he say anything? It seems like he didn't say anything at all.

That old geezer is wicked!

Chen Dong rolled his eyes. Just then, a peculiar fragrance wafted in from outside.

Secretary Wang walked in from outside carrying two cups of brewed tea. He first placed one cup in front of Old Lin, and then placed the other cup in front of Chen Dong.

"Sniff..."

Chen Dong's nose twitched slightly, his expression froze, and he asked in surprise, "Old Lin, you're not talking about this, are you?"

"Hmph, that's why I say you're lucky!"

Old Lin chuckled and looked at Secretary Wang. At this moment, Secretary Wang turned and went out, then placed a paper bag and two packs of cigarettes with the words "Special Supply" printed on them in front of Chen Dong. "This is a small token of Old Lin's appreciation."

"Lin, Mr. Lin, what's going on?"

Chen Dong was astonished. If he wasn't mistaken, the bag in front of him contained the legendary Da Hong Pao tea, and the two cartons of cigarettes in front of him were the legendary special-supply cigarettes. Without a certain level of official rank, one probably wouldn't even be able to see them.

But now Old Lin has brought it to him, and it would be a lie to say that he wasn't moved.

This kind of top-quality item is rare everywhere, and it's not something anyone can have as much of as they want.

Tea is subject to strict restrictions every year, and tobacco is a bit better, but it's not an ordinary product either.

The reason for adding the word "special supply" is that top-grade medicinal materials, such as cordyceps and deer antler, are added to the tobacco.

Smoking this kind of cigarette not only does not harm your health, but can actually have health benefits.

"Old Lin, I would be too impolite to refuse."

Old Lin pointed at Chen Dong and laughed, "Stop with your hypocritical face. What haven't I seen before?"

"I know you often have social engagements outside. I still have some cigarettes here. If you need more, just ask me for more."

"That.....?"

Before Chen Dong could finish speaking, Old Lin glared at him and said, "This is all the tea I have. I've saved it for you from the bottom of my heart. This is all I have. If you don't want it, you can give it back."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Chen Dong chuckled. Such a good thing, but the problem is, even if you have money, there's nowhere to buy it.

In another parallel world, two taels of red robe once circulated on the black market. You read that right, only two taels of red robe.

One tael of this product sold for as much as 2 million RMB, and that was before the year 2000.

After 2000, many big bosses who were waving their money couldn't even find a way in.

Now that Old Lin is giving it to him for free, Chen Dong naturally has no reason to refuse.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin!"

"Heh, you little rascal!"

Old Lin also laughed, seeing Chen Dong's energetic appearance as if he were seeing the future of China.

"Speak, what is it that you want to see me this time?"

Old Lin changed the subject abruptly. He knew Chen Dong's character all too well; he was the kind of person who would never visit someone without a reason.

"Old Lin, you really understand me!"

Chen Dong gave a forced smile, then turned serious and said, "It's like this, my people in Japan acquired a car company under the name of American citizens, and now they've taken over the technology from the company."

Are you serious?

Old Lin's eyes widened, looking incredulous.

China has always had a weakness in the automotive field. Although China has its own Hongqi brand cars, the technology used in those cars is outdated technology from Russia.

Compared to Western developed countries, German cars are simply no match.

Hearing that Chen Dong had acquired the Japanese automotive technology, Old Lin was pleased but also tentatively asked, "You're not telling me this just to show off, are you?"

"certainly!"

Chen Dong nodded. "I'd like to ask Mr. Lin to help me make a connection."

Old Lin stared at Chen Dong, waiting for him to continue.

Chen Dong had no choice but to continue, "I invested in a high-tech industrial park in Pengcheng. My thinking is this: we already have the technology, but turning that technology into cars on the road is not something that can be done overnight."

"I was thinking, could we perhaps establish a new automobile manufacturing company in conjunction with FAW Group through your introduction? We have the technology, and they have skilled workers. As for shareholding, here's my idea: Longteng would contribute the technology and a portion of the funds, holding 51% of the shares, while FAW would hold 49% of the shares based on their investment ratio and the skilled workers."
