Qin Shi waited for a whole day for a phone call.

Qin Shi also imagined how the eight elders would argue when his report was submitted. Every year's budget and expenditure were calculated in detail and formulated based on the actual situation. It would be difficult for anyone to suddenly increase so much expenses.

"Team Leader Qin, I'm really impressed by you. Although Congress argued for a long time, they still agreed to your budget and decided to increase your funding in the defense budget!"

"Very good!"

"I don't know what the elders of Congress are thinking. In the past, even matters worth tens of billions, let alone hundreds of billions, would be pushed to next year. This time, they're really giving you face!"

"Haha, it's just that the elders are far-sighted!"

Just after I hung up the phone, Congress officially announced this year's budget. Defense spending was directly increased by nearly eight percentage points, which actually took Qin Shi's money back.

"Wanli, take your men over to coordinate. We should sign a contract with Huaguang Technology in the name of Qinhan Group. We must keep the satellite business in our own hands. Then notify the military and take over immediately!"

"Don't worry, Boss! I understand!"

Wanli set off. Things were the same as usual. Qin Shi was not worried. With the support of this private satellite company, as long as the number was sufficient, even if a war really broke out, at least China would not become blind and deaf.

But at the United Nations, many countries protested against China's increase in military spending.

"You Chinese are already strong, yet you're increasing your military spending. Are you going to let us small countries survive?"

"China is almost catching up with our great Eagle Sauce. We can't let China continue like this. We must curb it!"

All countries, big or small, were wary of China. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to spend a lot of time and effort to calm the situation down, but Qin Shi was still a little unhappy.

"What are you thinking about? You seem listless these past two days. Isn't everything going well for Wanli?"

Mingyue and Qin Shi were strolling on the streets of Kyoto at night. Mingyue saw that Qin Shi was a little unhappy and asked.

"It's not Wanli's business. I'm thinking about something else."

"What else is troubling you? Congress has specifically increased military spending for your request. It's unprecedented! I heard there's a lot of international opposition!"

"Let them be, they're just a bunch of bickering people. As long as there's no real war, they're just talking nonsense!"

"Then why are you still unhappy?"

"I'm thinking about what's happening in northern Myanmar. Wen Hui is still at large, and there are many Chinese people trapped there, and I can't rescue them!"

"This is too difficult, especially since it's outside the country. What should I do? Otherwise, you should try something else!"

Qin Shi smiled slightly. The other thing might be even more difficult.

At that time, the elders of the Congress gave Qin Shi three tasks. The first and simplest one was to have Concubine Ji visit China, while the second and third ones were the disaster in northern Myanmar and the affairs of Danggui Province.

But the remaining two things were even more difficult, and even Qin Shi had no idea where to go. The key point was that Congress had squeezed out such a large sum of money for Qin Shi all at once, which put Qin Shi under great pressure.

"By the way, Humadu will be back tomorrow. Let's get together then!" Seeing that Qin Shi didn't say anything, Mingyue started talking about other topics.

"Okay, we'll have to put his affairs on hold for now..."

Speaking of things, Qin Shi had promised Mr. Ren to secretly get the lithography machine back. But now that he has the thing, it is still a headache for Qin Shi to transport it back to China without being discovered by others.

The next day, Humadu arrived in Kyoto. Although Wanli was not there, Qin Shi still hosted a banquet and invited all the members of the investigation team to welcome Humadu. Wanli was so angry that he cursed in the group.

There was nothing to do that day, so Qin Shi called Humadu to his office.

"Boss, the things have been settled, but it's really difficult to transport them back without letting anyone know!"

"Madu, it's good that you're back. Let's put this matter aside for now. I have something else I want to discuss with you!"

"What's the matter? Why are we still discussing it? Team leader, just arrange it directly!"

"...I've been spending a lot of the government's money lately, and I've also been investing a lot, but I haven't seen any returns yet. Since you're in business, is there any way I can make money quickly?"

"Making money?" Humadu's eyes widened like light bulbs.

"Team Leader, even though it's called the Commerce Department, we're actually doing general inspection and supervision work. Besides, there's no such thing as getting rich overnight these days, unless..."

"Unless what?" As soon as Qin Shi heard the word "unless", he knew something was going to happen.

"Unless you disregard the law, such as shorting the stock market, hoarding goods and selling them at a high price, smuggling national treasures, or trafficking in arms and drugs, even though these are all prohibited by law, who would dare to investigate if you did it? As long as..."

"stop..."

Qin Shi hurriedly interrupted Humadu and asked him if he could control the lottery directly according to what he said.

"Let's not consider these illegal and disorderly matters!"

"Team Leader, if you really want to make money, I have someone I can introduce to you!"

"Oh? Who is it?"

"But don't be angry, Team Leader. You've heard of this person before!"

"Have I heard of it?" Qin Shi became even more suspicious.

"That's my cousin, Hu Maocai. He's the son of Minister Hu Tu of the Ministry of Commerce. Although he's not a biological son and hasn't been in politics, he's quite talented in business. Just look at the story about selling high-power water pumps overseas..."
