They also added a lot of unnecessary things to it.
In short, they'll do whatever it takes to rip us off.
Wang Shouren was aware of this and remembered it. It's fair to say that since the economic opening up, our country has encountered far too many pitfalls. He couldn't possibly know or understand every single one. But this was one he did remember.
It's just a little blurry for a moment.
This sudden mention brought back some of his memories.
"What do you know? Stop arguing!" the person in charge shouted.
The flight attendants didn't dare come over either.
Holy crap, I just flew a flight, and wow, all the big shots in China are here?
It seems to be for the young man in the middle?
Is it that amazing?
“Shouren, you have to tell me the truth. You really can handle this. This is no joke. That thing, the blueprints alone weigh four tons.”
"Hmm, that's typical of them. They probably aren't up to anything good. Whether you believe me or not, they'll give you a set of blueprints after the New Year. Show them to me then. I'll also give you a plan. Just so you know, this is very complicated, so let me handle it. I can do it, but it will take a lot of time."
“You handle things for him, and we’ll take care of everything outside! If anything happens, just chop my head off and use it as a chamber pot! I don’t ask for much; just give me 300 million of the 380 million, and you can split the rest.”
"What the hell are you talking about?! A chamber pot? Is there such a big chamber pot as yours? I've noticed you've never been a good person since you were a kid."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Wang Shouren was getting a headache from the noise. "We don't need Xiao Rizi's plan, but some machinery still needs to be imported. There are some things we can't make domestically right now. We need to bring them in, but the price will be much cheaper. How to bring them in is up to you to figure out."
"So, how much would this set cost approximately?"
"Hmm, it depends on your methods. Thirty or forty million should be about right," Wang Shouren estimated.
"What? How much did you say?" The person in charge's voice trembled slightly.
"Thirty or forty million..."
The two children watched as their father was surrounded by a group of people speaking in a language they couldn't understand.
Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru stared blankly at Wang Shouren. Only now did they realize that their husbands were already involved in something worth over a hundred million. After disembarking, a team of special police officers stood outside. The entire crew, plus their group, were invited back to the station for questioning. These bastards were really causing trouble; was this the kind of thing to discuss on a plane?
However, there was no one else on the plane besides our own family.
Later, some people jokingly referred to the meeting on the plane as the "Foreign Exchange Incident of the 1980s".
After coming out, Qin Tian felt completely numb.
"Brother Qin Tian, do you still want to go find your younger brother?" Wang Shouren looked at Qin Tian with a mocking expression.
Qin Tian waved his hand weakly: "This matter is too big today, but..." He looked at Wang Shouren meaningfully: "Brother Shouren, you are a man of great talent, you dare to take on this."
Putting everything else aside, Wang Shouren immediately declared he could handle this national-level project without hesitation, which Qin Tian admired the most.
Not to mention Qin Tian's admiration, even the higher-ups were stunned when they heard the news.
My first thought was that Wang Shouren was bragging.
Then, they eagerly called the Ministry of Metallurgy to inquire. Wang Shouren had left behind a wealth of knowledge there, teaching many people. And wouldn't you know it, the answer came back to them. In the end, after a series of investigations, the higher-ups discovered that he hadn't been exaggerating. If they had let him handle it, he might actually have been able to solve it.
This caused an uproar throughout the entire department.
The people below were yelling at their superiors, saying how could they let such a talented person slip away? Everyone knew that Wang Shouren had resigned.
Li Weiguo felt completely numb.
All I could say was that the person had issues with their lifestyle.
The people below roared again, "So what if he has a problem with his lifestyle? So what! 380 million US dollars!! Give it to him! Give him three! Give him five!"
Li Weiguo: ...
Finally, this unreasonable fellow was kicked out. Of course, the busyness of the new year will likely come knocking on Wang Shouren's door soon.
The top leader and Li Weiguo remained silent.
"This kid really surprised us."
"What did they say?"
"Well, he scolded us, that's all." The big boss gave a wry smile. Neither of them had a technical background, but in fact, even those with a technical background wouldn't have guessed that Wang Shouren would pull such a move.
"Judging from his expression, it seems like it was a spur-of-the-moment decision..." Li Weiguo said.
"Alright, alright, stop making excuses for him." The big boss waved his hand: "I'm getting old, I'll be retiring soon, but you're probably nearing the end. But it's a good thing."
"Good news?" Li Weiguo asked, somewhat puzzled.
"That kid is like a wild horse. He knows he's a wild horse, so before he left, he handed you the reins. On one hand, it's to let you keep him in check, and on the other hand, it's to tell you that if you're not strong enough, don't blame him for running away. You're in the perfect position to keep him in check; I wouldn't feel comfortable giving it to someone else."
“That’s true…” Li Weiguo nodded in agreement, then added with a hint of schadenfreude, “However, that kid probably won’t have time to cause me any trouble. That project will probably take two or three years to complete.”
"Two or three years wouldn't be bad. It's just the motorcycle plan..."
"There's no need to worry about that. He's been recruiting people, so he'll probably have the follow-up plans sorted out. Besides, researching that stuff isn't a closed system. It's not a big problem." Li Weiguo wasn't worried about this. As a leader, his greatest strength wasn't in doing things, but in putting the right people in the right positions.
Many years ago, Wang Shouren had this awareness, and he has always done a good job in doing so.
"That's good."

They ended up staying in Guangzhou for a day, but unfortunately missed their flight, so their plans changed. Qin Tian still left, asking Wang Shouren to bring his good-for-nothing brother back before he left. The situation was clear: they were actually after foreign exchange, but they never expected that such a small matter would lead to such a shocking revelation.
Now, these people will have something to laugh about when they get back.
Actually, they weren't interested in Wang Shouren's current foreign exchange reserves; what they were after was sustainable foreign exchange. These days, every department is short of that stuff. Foreign goods are just too expensive!
