Wang Defa seemed oblivious to the seriousness of the situation, continuing his incessant rambling: "When can't we do scientific research? Aircraft carriers are too far removed from ordinary people like us! Making money is the only real goal! You see, this is my sincerity..."
As he spoke, he pulled a check from his briefcase, on which was filled a staggering number.
Manager Wang has used this tactic many times without fail, especially on those junior managers who have power but meager salaries, and who now watch their colleagues who are running small businesses bulge in their pockets.
They talked a big game about integrity and honesty, but when Wang Defa took out the checks, they all took a deep breath and clutched their chests. In the end, after hesitating and fidgeting, they still ended up taking the checks.
"Smack!"
A crisp sound.
Lin Huowang, however, slapped Wang Defa across the face, turning the check and Wang Defa's face crooked.
"roll."
Lin Huowang pointed to the main gate and said only one word.
"You...you dare hit me? You're just a worthless consultant with no rank, you think you're something special just because you have a little bit of power!"
Wang Defa covered his face, glaring angrily at Lin Huowang, and said, "I am... my uncle is..."
"I don't care who your uncle is, or what kind of deity you are."
Lin Huowang stepped forward and warned him bluntly:
“Go back and tell your master, or your accomplices.”
"Anyone who dares to meddle in the nation's strategic resources, anyone who dares to engage in speculation and profiteering at this critical juncture, or to undermine the nation's resources..."
"I, Lin Huowang, have a hundred ways to make him spit out everything he's taken in, with interest! I might even... make him spend the rest of his life in jail!"
"Guards! Throw these people out! If I ever see people like this again, break their legs!"
"yes!"
Several guards immediately rushed over, dragged Wang Defa and the others up like dead dogs, and threw them hard onto the street outside the alley.
Watching these few figures scrambling away in a panic, Lin Huowang clapped his hands, then sighed and shook his head.
He knew that this was only the beginning.
With the rapid economic development, there will definitely be more and more such "parasites".
This is the price of reform. The economy has improved and there is more money, but just like when there is too much grain in the granary, it will naturally attract many rats.
...
After dealing with all these upsetting things, the hopeful days must go on.
Between 1993 and 1995, there was a lot of chaos in China. It is worth mentioning that all kinds of companies selling health products sprang up one after another. People had just become richer and had some money in their pockets, but they were all swindled out of their money by these "scammers".
As for Lin Huowang, there have been no major changes or actions in the past few years.
Both the home appliance and automobile sectors are developing normally, with industrial capacity rapidly ramping up.
The Harry Potter series sold extremely well overseas, and the translated versions that were brought back to China were also very popular among teenagers.
It might be hard to believe, but the revenue that Harry Potter alone brings to Lin Huowang in a year can reach hundreds of millions of US dollars.
Similarly, Lin Huowang also invested a huge amount of money in the "Longteng Lab" in Zhongguancun.
Academician Ni Guangnan and his team not only made "Zhonghua" computers number one in the country, but also began to tackle the toughest challenge: chip design.
Meanwhile, in Shanghai, the lithography machine that was secretly transported back has been thoroughly understood by our scientists.
The first micron-level chip with completely independent intellectual property rights has been produced. Although its performance is not yet up to par with Intel's Pentium series, it is already able to meet the needs of military and industrial control.
This means that although the Chinese people are still being held by the neck, the hand holding them is no longer as tight!
Moreover, as soon as we announced the news of our independent production, the embargo and sales restrictions imposed by foreign countries were immediately relaxed.
Even some chips that are a generation behind are immediately being dumped into our domestic market at reduced prices.
This is the sinister intention of Western countries: when you can't produce it, I sell it at a high price and make huge profits.
However, once you've finally spent a huge amount of money and resources to develop and produce it, they immediately sell your next-generation product at a drastically reduced price. This makes it impossible for you to sell your own products at a good price, cover the research and development costs, and naturally, you won't have enough funds to continue developing the next generation.
This phenomenon is not limited to high-tech industries; it also extends to various sectors in China, such as the beverage and personal care industries, which have been massively acquired and merged by foreign capital, leaving domestic brands largely forgotten.
In a year or two, you will no longer be able to see these brands that were once well-known and loved by the people, and all you will be able to buy will be foreign brands.
They so easily killed Chinese manufacturing, and then began to frantically extract excessive profits domestically.
Lin Huowang had tried to stop this, but the resistance was enormous!
In particular, many local governments are ambitious and eager for quick success, favoring joint ventures and acquisitions of foreign brands, and even boasting about it in their local newspapers.
Lin Huowang could save one person, but not a second. In fact, because of this, he was reported to the central government several times for repeatedly dampening the investment enthusiasm of foreign investors.
As a result, Lin Huowang stopped bothering with such trivial matters.
