The component manufacturing plants in Northeast China, which were originally intended to be used for supporting projects, had already begun frantic production with the support of Lin Huowang's massive industrial upgrading and data.
This once stagnant "eldest son of the Republic" has finally been revitalized after Lin Huowang's drastic measures, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it has been completely transformed.
...
Of course, while Lin Huowang was carrying out sweeping reforms in Northeast China, the outside world also became incredibly lively because of him.
Especially in Japan.
As the patent incident involving Yasuji Nakamura and others unfolded, and as Lin Huowang's identity as Kobayashi Tenmoku in Hong Kong Island was gradually exposed, the Japanese business and political circles could be said to be extremely resentful of him.
They finally realized that Lin Huowang, the Northeast farmer who had been fooling them, was actually a genius entrepreneur who made a fortune in Hong Kong under the alias "Xiao Lin Tianwang".
Many radical Japanese right-wingers even threatened to retaliate against Kobayashi Tenmoku, and these Japanese conglomerates also attempted to suppress Dragon Media Group and the Dragon Plaza project.
Under these circumstances, Lin Huowang was quite disappointed and naturally could no longer easily show his face in Japan. As a result, he was unable to attend the opening ceremony of Japan's first Dragon Plaza.
However, since Lin Huowang had anticipated Japan's "turn against him" and "making things difficult," he naturally had made some arrangements accordingly.
All of his Japanese businesses had long been transferred to Lin Tongchun and Kobayashi Keiko through a complex shareholding structure.
As for Keiko Kobayashi, since she also has the blood of the Tokugawa family in Japan, she can now be said to be a guest of honor of the Tokugawa family.
Thanks to the immense cultural influence of "Dragon Jump" and the Tokugawa family's deep-rooted political connections, coupled with Lin Tongchun's adept political maneuvering, Japanese politicians and conglomerates, though seething with hatred, were hesitant to act rashly and dared not easily sabotage these industries.
On the contrary, because of the irreplaceable status of "Dragon Jump" manga among young people in Japan, they can only grit their teeth and continue to let Lin Huowang make money off them.
What do you call this? This is called: I love seeing you hate me, but you can't get rid of me, and you still have to obediently give me money.
...
Lin Huowang finally returned to Beijing only after the situation in Northeast China had completely stabilized and spring had arrived.
It's still that three-courtyard house.
The atmosphere in the study was quite lively.
Liao Gong also made a special trip over to hear Lin Huowang's next steps regarding the reforms in Northeast China, especially regarding funding.
After all, transforming the old industrial base in Northeast China is practically a bottomless pit.
However, when he entered the study, he saw Lin Huowang sitting cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed), with the fax machine in front of him spewing out paper tape as if it were having a seizure.
"Huowang, what are you up to now... things have just stabilized in the Northeast, what are you doing now?"
Liao Gong still asked with some concern, "The various equipment costs from FAW, and the promised housing funds for the workers—these are astronomical figures. Before our cars officially roll off the production line and go on sale, there's only investment and no output. Do you... do you have enough money on hand?"
"Money? Mr. Liao, let's not even talk about the billions of dollars we made last time. Right now, our new gold mine has arrived..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Huowang smiled and looked up. He then casually grabbed a stack of reports that had just been spit out and handed them to Liao Gong, saying, "Liao Gong, please remove the 'ma' from that. Right now, the last thing we lack is money."
"Please take a look at this first."
Lin Huowang pointed to one of the reports and said:
"This is Dragon Plaza's financial report from yesterday."
"Dragon Square?"
"Yes. It's the 'one-stop' commercial center that I built simultaneously in Ginza, Tokyo and Central, Hong Kong Island."
You have no idea how popular it was! I combined 'eating, drinking, playing, and shopping' all in one place. The Japanese and Hong Kong locals had never seen anything like it! On opening day, the doors were practically knocked down by the crowds!"
“Those Japanese aunties and wealthy ladies from Hong Kong Island are lining up to give us money! The net profit of just these two stores in one day is enough to pay all the workers in Northeast China for a year! And I’m already planning to replicate this model in New York and London. This is our cash cow!”
"And this too!"
As Lin Huowang spoke, he picked up another book and a set of data: "Harry Potter, this book has now sold over 100 million copies worldwide! I've already received so many royalties that I'm overwhelmed! The film rights were also snatched up by Hollywood for a high price. This is called cultural export, just like when I founded the Dragon Jump comic magazine. I make money from foreigners with these cultural products, it's easy and extremely profitable, and I won't hesitate at all."
Liao Gong was completely dumbfounded when he saw the astronomical sums of money he had received.
To others, earning foreign exchange is incredibly difficult, but in Lin Huowang's hands, it's practically a magic bullet.
Making a little bit here, a little bit there, Liao Gong thinks that the richest person in the world right now is probably not the US government, but Lin Huowang right in front of him.
What impressed Liao Gong even more was that Lin Huowang donated all the money he earned through his own abilities, except for the Hong Kong Island Land Group and Dragon Plaza which had other shareholders, as well as the royalties from selling "Harry Potter" and other sources, to the country for the needs of reform and other construction in Northeast China.
