Time, well...
Sometimes it's like the snow in Northeast China in winter; once it starts falling, it never stops and can cover the whole world in the blink of an eye.
Since China mastered the lithography machine in 1986, it seems like the whole country has been on fast track, and time has been moving incredibly fast!
It's not just about time; more importantly, it's about the overall economic development of China, which can be described as accelerating like a rocket.
As a result, the lives of ordinary Chinese people have become better and better.
In the past, people who had 10,000 yuan were considered extremely rare, but now, not only are people with 10,000 yuan a rare breed, but people with 100,000 yuan or even millionaires are commonplace in China.
With the advent of reform and opening up, the private sector gradually began to emerge on the historical stage.
The crime of speculation and profiteering has been completely swept into the dustbin of history, although the farce of the "Four Kings" made people mistakenly believe that there was a "false spring".
However, the subsequent series of state-owned enterprise reforms, private contracting, and even various investment promotion policies that encouraged the private economy and attracted foreign investment have shown the whole of China and even the world a thriving and rapidly developing Chinese economy.
Not to mention, this time with Lin Huowang as the pioneer of reform, his Longpai Group was the earliest joint venture, and later invested in a large number of state-owned factories in Northeast China, which forcibly brought China's automobile manufacturing and home appliance manufacturing industries from the international backward level to the international advanced level.
Of course, what is not publicly displayed is Lin Huowang's annual investment of hundreds of millions, or even billions, of US dollars in various chip manufacturing R&D and lithography machine-related technology R&D industries.
This part is now a top-level secret in China, and even many high-ranking officials have not been able to access this kind of secret.
Lin Huowang knew that the foreign blockade of high technology against China was extremely severe.
Once they find out that China is rapidly developing and catching up in the chip manufacturing industry, they will inevitably take strong measures to curb it.
Today's China is not strong enough, and it must remain low-key, conceal its strength, and not allow the United States and other Western countries to perceive it as a threat.
And fortunately...
At this time, China also had its big brother in the north to shoulder the pressure from all the Western capitalist countries.
The polar bear, now transitioning from adulthood to old age, was showing signs of exhaustion, immediately attracting countless vultures waiting to devour its carcass.
Before we knew it, it was the deep winter of 1990.
In the capital city, in the Lin family's courtyard house.
The children have grown up quite a bit. Lin Anbang and the other boys are already in elementary school, right at that age where they're bound to get into trouble if they're not disciplined.
Anyone who has raised a child knows how mischievous a little boy of this age can be.
The study was heated to a very high temperature.
Lin Huowang was wearing a thick cashmere sweater and holding two walnuts in his hands, looking every bit the "Beijing gentleman".
Standing by the window, I watched the snowflakes falling outside.
At this point, he was no longer young and impetuous.
Instead, his aura became even more profound.
"Huowang, are you really going to make this decision?"
Sitting on the sofa to the side was Mr. Liao, whose hair was completely white.
Although he has completely stepped down from the front line, he still can't help but personally come to inquire about any major matters that Lin Huowang cares about.
Holding a top-secret intelligence report, Liao frowned and said, "Things are in complete chaos over there! And I've heard that on the streets of Moscow, the ruble is worth less than toilet paper, gangs are rampant, and even the military is involved in the resale of supplies. Isn't it too risky for you to go there personally at this time?"
"chaos?"
Lin Huowang turned around and said:
"Lord Liao, chaos is good! As the saying goes, when the wind rises, the clouds fly. If this whale dies, then we little fish and shrimp waiting on the sidelines will finally have a good meal!"
That big guy won't last until next year.
Now, Americans, Europeans, and even Koreans are like a group of sharks smelling blood, gathered around Moscow waiting to share the spoils.
"We Chinese have been neighbors with them for so many years. They used to be the big brother, and later they became mortal enemies. Now that they are about to fall, if we don't go and take back some of their 'inheritance,' it would be a disservice to all the grudges and grievances we've accumulated over the decades!"
"But……"
Liao Gong, however, still asked with some concern, "What do you want to take? An airplane? A tank?"
“Those lumps of iron, though valuable, are not the most important thing.”
Lin Huowang shook his head and continued:
"What I need is brains."
"They are the people who build airplanes, missiles, and nuclear submarines!"
"I want to bring back all the assets that the red empire has accumulated over seventy years—those top experts who are starving and emaciated, and the blueprints in their minds!"
"I call this operation... the Great Bottom Fishing of the Century!"
...
A few days later.
A green train bearing the sign of international intermodal transport chugged out of the national gate in Manzhouli and plunged into the boundless, icy wilderness of Siberia.
This train was loaded with nothing but "hard currency" that Lin Huowang had urgently transferred from the south.
