That day, Chen Dong received a phone call from Old Lin, who was far away in Yanjing.
The moment the call connected, the old man asked:
"Xiao Chen, you've really stirred up a hornet's nest this time. How's it going? Can you handle it?"
Chen Dong said loudly, "Please rest assured! I saw it a long time ago."
Hearing Chen Dong say this, Old Lin felt relieved.
Indeed, although Chen Dong is still young, his maturity and insight into the ways of the world and people's hearts indicate that he is not so simple.
However, he still asked with some concern, "Really? But you haven't shown any effective countermeasures yet!"
"Don't worry about me, sir. I certainly have my own methods, but it's not time to use them yet."
"Okay, that's good. Just say the word if you need my help. Is there anything you need my assistance with?"
"Thank you, please rest assured, I will definitely contact you when I need it. And I estimate it will be in a few days. I would also like you to help me contact a high-level newspaper so that we can make the final decision!" Chen Dong said.
"Oh, you're so confident?" Old Lin asked, somewhat curious.
"Of course! You don't even know who I am. For you to value me so highly, I have to show you some real skills!"
"Heh, you little rascal! Aren't you afraid I'll worry? As far as I know, there's a lot more to this than meets the eye!"
Chen Dong chuckled lightly, "I expected that too, so I've made thorough preparations. Besides, what storms haven't you weathered? Just wait and see!"
"It seems you don't want to tell me your specific thoughts?" Old Lin said with a smile.
"It wouldn't be very interesting to just tell you directly, would it? Of course, because I haven't finalized what level of achievement is needed either. However, I believe the final result will not disappoint you."
"Haha, you little rascal, you're still keeping me in suspense!" Old Lin laughed heartily.
"I'm just giving you a little entertainment! I'm letting you watch a great show for free and let you experience the thrill of war again," Chen Dong said.
"Okay, you're right. I'll take a good look and see what tricks you can come up with."
Old Lin was also stirred up by Chen Dong.
He hung up the phone with a smile and then paced around the room excitedly.
Just then, his grandson, the eldest son of the Lin family, came in.
Upon seeing Old Master Lin like this, he immediately stepped forward, supporting Old Master Lin's forearm while asking curiously, "Grandpa, what's wrong that makes you so happy?"
When Old Lin saw that it was his most beloved grandson, his eyes were full of smiles.
"Of course it's a good thing."
Then, he told the young master about Chen Dong and Tenglong Motors' reaction to the external attacks.
Hearing Old Master Lin's words, the eldest son of the Lin family became even more curious: "You trust him that much?"
Originally, he knew that Elder Lin attached great importance to the development of domestic automobiles, and that he was the one who facilitated the joint venture between Chen Dong's company and FAW Group, and he often paid attention to news in this regard.
Around this time, the first car from Longteng Auto rolled off the production line. The old man was very happy and even made an exception and drank two glasses of wine that day.
But unexpectedly, the situation suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.
More importantly, Longteng Auto has become the focal point of the conflict between the "shipbuilding faction" and the "ship-buying faction," attracting widespread attention.
However, Mr. Lin believed in Chen Dong's skills and abilities, so he wasn't in a hurry.
Of course, he also secretly exerted some effort behind the scenes to make certain forces restrain themselves, so that the various forces in the whole matter would appear more balanced and not look so ugly.
However, Elder Lin is just one of many senior figures in China.
It's impossible to have absolute power.
He was unwilling to do so.
Moreover, he knew that Chen Dong, with his character and having put in a lot of effort to make cars, would certainly not allow himself to be manipulated by any party.
He even felt that he could use Chen Dong as a tool to teach those unruly guys in the country a lesson, and make everyone realize what is truly good for the country.
At the same time, he also had a selfish motive: he wanted to push Chen Dong to the forefront and make him a figure of great public attention.
It would be a real shame not to give such a talented person more responsibilities.
Of course, Chen Dong was unaware of some of Elder Lin's arrangements.
If they knew, they would definitely feel a little resentful towards Elder Lin, but they would continue on their way and be a good wielder of this knife.
After hearing what Old Master Lin said, the eldest son of the Lin family became even more curious about Chen Dong.
At that time, Lin Lao entrusted him with the task of investigating Chen Dong's situation.
After seeing Chen Dong's information, he was greatly impressed. He had been unknown for decades, but suddenly became famous.
Then, as if divinely inspired, Chen Dong completed his wealth accumulation.
Today, he is a behemoth in Hong Kong.
They also have many investments in the country.
As for how much influence he wields abroad, he only knows a portion of it and cannot know everything.
Especially after witnessing Chen Dong's series of business and financial operations, the eldest son of the Lin family became even more interested in Chen Dong.
After coming of age, the eldest son of the Lin family did not enter politics or the military, but instead went into business.
Although he tried his best not to rely on the family's power, the descendants of these high-ranking people still received a lot of attention and care from many people, both openly and secretly.
From this perspective, their business success seems unfair compared to those who started from scratch.
Only when he heard his grandfather talk about Chen Dong did he truly realize how high his grandfather's expectations were for him.
He became increasingly eager to meet Chen Dong in person and see what kind of person he was, that he was so capable.
I've never seen my grandfather value a younger generation so much before.
This even made him a little jealous. His grandfather's feelings for him were more familial than admiring, even though he felt that he had done quite well in many aspects, and was even better than most of his peers.
However, I haven't had the chance to go to Shenzhen recently. Otherwise, I could have met him sooner and observed him up close to see what makes him so remarkable.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and said to Grandpa Lin, "Grandpa, when will Chen Dong be able to come here? I really want to see him."
Old Lin thought for a moment and said, "It should be soon. This debate should be resolved soon. I think he will come as soon as the result is in."
"Are you waiting for him to report back?"
"Hehe, that's for sure. I made an agreement with him to guess his strategy in this argument and predict his specific actions. If he doesn't come, this show isn't over yet."
After finishing speaking, Old Lin squinted his eyes, smiled, and showed a hint of anticipation.
