The jeep sped along the newly paved cement road in Bao'an at night, and its speed was quite impressive.
The car quickly entered the Shekou Industrial Zone.
As soon as he entered, Lin Huowang was stunned by the scene before him.
It has changed almost completely since the last time he came here.
This place, that place, is no longer an industrial zone!
This is practically a "city that never sleeps" that is incredibly brightly lit even in the dark!
The roar of machines was everywhere, so loud it was almost deafening.
The searchlights illuminated the entire factory area as if it were daytime, and the tall chimneys were still billowing out white steam.
Moreover, the situation at the gates of these factory areas is quite exaggerated.
The line of trucks waiting to be loaded had practically blocked the road, stretching for several kilometers with no end in sight.
The drivers were honking impatiently, the workers were shouting, and the officials were giving orders loudly... It was a cacophony of sounds, creating a very lively scene.
Lin Huowang even saw many workers sitting on the ground under the lights, waiting for their shift to be changed. Although they looked very tired, their eyes were shining with excitement.
Because here, you can actually earn three or even five times the salary for working overtime!
It's no exaggeration to say that workers transferred from the old industrial areas of Northeast China can earn in a month what they would earn in their hometowns back home.
Do you think the work here is tiring? Of course it is, but it's worth it. They wish they could be this tired every day!
"Comrade Lin, the main gate is full of trucks carrying goods and materials, so we'll enter through the side gate!"
Liao Gong's secretary, Xiao Li, was already used to this scene. He directed the jeep to turn into a side road and then stop in front of a two-story office building with lights on.
This is the "temporary command center" for the industrial zone.
As soon as he jumped out of the car, a wave of heat hit him. It was the smell of an industrial park, something Lin Huowang knew all too well from his past life—mixed with engine oil and dust, and sometimes quite pungent.
"Xiao Li! You finally brought him back!"
A middle-aged cadre wearing glasses rushed out of the building, grabbed Secretary Li's hand, and said anxiously, "You're finally back! Liao Gong has already lost his temper three times! He said if you haven't brought Comrade Lin back by now, he'll go to the airport himself!"
The phone calls from Beijing and Shanghai haven't stopped; they're all asking about the situation!
"Director Wang, this is the fastest I've ever done; I've sent a special plane to the Northeast. And... this is Comrade Lin Huowang." Xiao Li gave a wry smile and quickly introduced him.
"Oh my! You must be Comrade Lin Huowang?"
Director Wang was also visibly taken aback. The information and intelligence he had previously obtained were incomplete, and he obviously did not expect that this "God of Wealth" who had stirred up global turmoil and alarmed the "old man" was actually such a young man.
But he didn't have time to think about it anymore, and he grabbed Lin Huowang and ran into the building.
"Good, good, good! Comrade Lin Huowang, we've been waiting for you! Quick! Come with me! Don't just stand there, Director Liao is waiting for you in his office, the situation is extremely urgent!"
The office at the command post was filled with a strong smell of smoke.
As soon as Lin Huowang entered, he saw Liao Gongzheng standing there with red eyes, holding a telephone receiver in one hand and slamming his other hand on the table, shouting rudely into the microphone:
"I don't care which department you're from! I'll say it again! If the power goes out for even a second tonight, you can go and explain to the commander yourselves!"
"Did you understand? I'm generating foreign exchange for the country! Every minute brings in excess profits. If you delay this, no one can afford the responsibility!"
"Smack!"
He slammed the phone down as soon as he finished speaking, and when he looked up, he saw Lin Huowang being pulled in by Director Wang.
Liao Gong's bloodshot, obviously tired eyes instantly lit up.
It could be said that the moment he saw Lin Huowang, all his previous anxiety and anger turned into a feeling of surprise and hope.
"You little rascal! Haha... You've finally arrived."
Even the usually composed Liao Gong couldn't help but stand up abruptly, rush over in a few steps, and then punch Lin Huowang hard in the chest.
The force of that punch was considerable, but Lin Huowang stood up straight with a smile.
"A great hero of our country! Comrade Lin Huowang..."
Liao Gong patted Lin Huowang on the shoulder again and said, "Do you know how many foreign trade orders we've received this time? Ten billion US dollars! Adding to the previous two billion US dollars, it's a total of three billion US dollars worth of goods. Tsk tsk! We're both happy and worried now! The leader has even come to Shekou personally to oversee things..."
Three billion US dollars!
This string of numbers may not be considered a huge fortune in China in the future, but for China today it is nothing short of an immense wealth!
"Mr. Liao, it was my mistake. I didn't expect the foreigners to be so receptive to and in such high demand for our electrical appliances. If I had known this, we should have expanded the Shekou Industrial Park five times over..."
On the way there, Lin Huowang had already heard his secretary, Xiao Li, explain the details of the situation.
Even the reborn aren't omnipotent!
Moreover, the world situation has already been changed far too much by the emergence of Lin Huowang.
Lin Huowang's words are correct, but if we go back to six months ago, even if Lin Huowang was a "god-like" figure in the eyes of the old man, the entire country would not have been able to mobilize almost half of China's industrial capacity and capabilities to help him build the Shekou Industrial Park because of his plan.
