"How can this be called crossing a river and destroying the bridge?" Feng Lingyu said speechlessly: "I have the medicinal material production line in my hands, but I don't give you the medicinal materials. This is called crossing a river and destroying the bridge."
"Now that the medicinal material production line has been seized, I certainly can't deliver the goods."
"It seems that Mr. Chen has lived in Hong Kong for too long and has been exposed to many foreign things, so his Chinese has also regressed."
Chen Zenian didn't expect that Feng Lingyu would immediately retort after he just expressed his feelings.
"Okay, I can't beat you." He surrendered.
"But then again, this production line is really needed in Qingshan Village. If we can successfully obtain the production line, the benefits are self-evident. So, the pressure can't be borne by me alone."
Let’s just say that this batch of production lines is enough to upgrade the small workshop in Qingshan Village and turn it into a leading medicinal material processing factory.
It will be of great benefit to future development.
You know, even the several large medicinal materials manufacturers that had competed with Feng Lingyu before only had machines operating in individual production links, but the production line that Chen Zenian gave to Feng Lingyu was basically fully automated, which could greatly save labor costs.
Feng Lingyu spoke calmly: "Mr. Chen, you are joking. If it weren't for solving the problem, I wouldn't have come to you today. It's just that I come from a small place, and Qingshan Village is just an insignificant mountain village. It is not worth mentioning in front of a big city like Shanghai. Mr. Chen also knows this. So the help I can provide is very limited."
In fact, Feng Lingyu felt a little confused after receiving the news.
Given Chen Zenian's status, it was obvious that officials and leaders in Shanghai were very attentive and considerate to him, even to the point of fawning on him.
Everyone hopes that he can invest more and introduce advanced machines from abroad through him. It can be said that his treatment in the Shanghai Stock Exchange is top-notch and no one dares to offend him.
The best proof of this is that he lives a luxurious life in the hotel and eats Western food openly, which is contrary to the current national conditions.
Even if that's the case, hasn't he been here for such a long time and still been fine, with no one bothering him?
Chen Zenian introduced the most advanced medicinal materials production line to the country. Isn’t this exactly what the leaders want to see most?
This is obviously a good thing that benefits the country and the people, so why did the customs suddenly seize the machine?
This will not only offend Chen Zenian, but will also cause the country to lose this batch of advanced machines. No matter how you think about it, there is no benefit at all!
Although Wei Wuyan has been operating in Shanghai for some time and has considerable influence, he has really no involvement in the Shanghai officialdom.
So Feng Lingyu actually has no control over this matter.
The only thing she could rely on was that the quality of the medicinal materials in Qingshan Village was quite good, so good that Chen Zenian was reluctant to give up this business.
Only in this way will Chen Zenian do his best to help her successfully restore the production line.
"Ms. Ling, you underestimate yourself." Chen Zenian smiled with his eyes curved.
If Ling Feng had no ability, then wouldn't all those enemies she defeated back then be good-for-nothings?
You know, those people are all old hands in large state-owned factories.
Feng Lingyu: "Mr. Chen, I am completely in the dark right now and I don't know anything about the situation on the production line. You called me here not just to tell me this, right?"
"Indeed." Chen Zenian signaled Chen San to remove all the plates on the table, then sat up straight.
"In fact, I spent a lot of effort to successfully purchase this batch of production lines from Germany. It changed hands several times and I spent a lot of shipping costs. You know, when foreigners hear that it is a Chinese who wants to buy the machine, they will refuse."
The international blockade faced by China is quite severe. All mechanical products are prohibited from being exported to China.
Chen Zenian was able to buy this batch of machines by asking a friend he met abroad to buy them for him.
"After I bought these machines, they were first sent back to Hong Kong by my friend, where they stayed for a few days. Then they were transported from Hong Kong to Shanghai through my connections."
What Chen Zenian didn’t say was that this batch of machines almost had problems in Hong Kong City.
His good elder and second brothers knew that he had a batch of goods staying in the port city, and they both wanted to interfere, but they were stopped by the people he left in the port city and failed in the end.
"I thought that once we arrived in Shanghai, these machines would be safe once they were handed over to you, but suddenly the customs sent a message saying that these machines were carrying a lot of foreign contraband and could not be brought in for the time being. Everything had to be investigated first. I just received the news two days ago."
After Feng Lingyu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.
She really didn't expect that the experience of these machines would be so tortuous.
"Do you know what exactly was smuggled in?" she asked.
"It seems to be political books and leaflets about foreign countries?" Chen Zenian waved his hand. "You know, these things are very sensitive in China."
"How could these things exist?!" Feng Lingyu went crazy.
These things, let alone now, even if they happen twenty years from now, will be grievous sins!
In the past few years, there were cases where people were dragged out, insulted and even demoted because foreign books were found in their homes.
"Is there something wrong with your friend?" she asked again.
"Impossible." Chen Zenian said firmly, "He is a pure businessman. He only cares about making money. He doesn't care about politics at all. As long as you give him enough money, it is not impossible for him to betray the country. It will not do him any good to put these things in the machine."
He knew his old classmate James very well, and that guy only cared about money.
In his words, money is the most fascinating thing in the world, and he would even give his life for it!
"What if someone uses more money to frame you?" Feng Lingyu proposed another scenario.
This person loves money so much that he is willing to betray his country. Wouldn't it be easy for him to betray a friend?
Chen Zenian: “?”
He held his forehead and said helplessly, "You want these machines, why do you want to frame me? My base is in Hong Kong City. Even if someone really wants to deal with me, they will not choose this method. After all, reading these political books in Hong Kong City is just a small matter."
Moreover, a mere batch of machines is nothing to him, just a drop in the bucket.
Who would go to so much trouble just to pull out a single hair from his body?
"Don't you ever think about yourself?"
Seeing Feng Lingyu's almond-shaped eyes still looking at him suspiciously, Chen Zenian's forehead twitched and he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"You mean you're coming for me?" Feng Lingyu pointed at himself innocently.
"What else?" Chen Zenian was really speechless this time.
"These machines are important to you, right? If they are not allowed to enter the country, you will be the one who suffers the most. As for me, if the machines are not allowed to enter the country, I will just take them back to Hong Kong. I don't think they dare to confiscate them, so I won't suffer any loss at all."
