"Thanks to the unremitting efforts of everyone in the company, and the strong support of the Ling family behind the scenes."

"Currently, Wanqi Electric Appliances has 179 chain stores nationwide, making it the leading domestic home appliance retailer..."

"Wanqi's overall performance last year was 3.21 billion yuan, with a profit of 1.57 billion yuan, of which Wanqi Electric contributed 78%..."

Ma Baorong finished speaking in one breath, his speech so fast it was almost as fast as Hua Shao, the host of "The Voice of China," a show Lin Dong watched in his previous life.

"Not bad, not bad! Hahaha..." Lin Dong laughed heartily.

Although this guy is now the general manager and usually dresses in a suit and looks very respectable, he is still a funny little chubby guy at heart.

"Boss, you also think Wanqi's performance is outstanding, right? Hehe, I knew it, choosing me was the right decision..."

Ma Baorong's chubby, round face was filled with joy and satisfaction.

Lin Dong shook his head: "No, what I meant by 'not bad' was that you speak fast enough."

"ah?"

Ma Baorong stared blankly at Lin Dongle's beaming face, completely bewildered.

January 16, 1997, Laba Festival.

Lin Dong ended his stay in Nandu and headed to northern Myanmar alone.

The destination of this Airbus A280 flight is the already well-established "Kokang Casino".

In order to attract gamblers and high rollers from all over the world, Lin Dong specially asked Peng Jiasheng to allocate a large piece of land on the west side of the casino to build a large airport.

The airport is for both military and civilian use.

A standing guard battalion is stationed there, which is directly under the command of the Dragon Gang. An advanced radar early warning system and air defense weapon system are deployed around the airport.

Lin Dong has been away from Kokang for more than half a year.

What has become of this once war-torn land?
