The fifth thousand eight hundred and eighty year of the Xia calendar.

Lin Jiang was sitting in a teahouse, listening to a broker talking. The broker wanted Lin Jiang to buy a batch of land in Taixi Province because he had already received a benefit in advance.

The broker listed a lot of benefits, such as the land did not need to be managed, anyway, the tenants on the land were ready, and a few people were sent to collect rent every year. When the time came, the grain would be transported for dozens of miles, and then it would enter the Yunjiang tributary, and then go downstream to Haigang City, and enter Lin Jiang's cannery. After processing, it would be sold to various places. With self-production and self-sales, it would soon be possible to make a profit.

Lin Jiang's tone was not relaxed, and he did not agree or refuse. After drinking a pot of tea, Lin Jiang gestured to see the guest off, and the broker had to leave.

"Boss, this is the seventh wave of brokers. The land in the Federation is really worthless now."

As soon as the broker left, a well-dressed woman behind Lin Jiang came over and said to Lin Jiang. She is now one of Lin Jiang's secretaries. She is quite sharp and capable in her work and is highly valued by Lin Jiang.

"The low price of Harbour City has doubled in three months. Do you think the land is not valuable?"

"Boss, how can those corners be compared with Harbour City? Even if Harbour City is wasteland, you can build a warehouse and make ten times more money than farming."

"Yes, it's the same land, but the price is different."

"Boss, do you want to buy these lands?"

"Yes, why not? You go and contact them, cut 30% on the basis of their lowest offer, and then connect the land I bought into one piece."

Lin Jiang said, now is the end of the bankruptcy wave of federal agriculture. Before, there was an economic crisis, which caused a large number of these agricultural enterprises to go bankrupt, and then there was a war. Don't think that the land will be valuable when the war starts. A lot of land in the Huaxia Federation is planted with cash crops, relying on the dumping of the colonies. The war has not been decided in these years. Where can it be sold? However,

now that the Allied naval battle has been won, the sales of the colonies will soon be opened, and then the agricultural products will appreciate in value. Of course, the premise is that they can survive.

The reason why Lin Jiang wanted to buy land was because their business empire had to be a closed loop, in which self-sufficiency in food was very important. Sooner or later, they had to buy it, so it was better to start now.

In addition, Lin Jiang already knew that land would be very valuable in the future. The provinces and cities in the inland of China have not yet developed. Once they develop, the land will be different. Even if crops are planted at that time, it will be very valuable. Who can blame Lin Jiang for his forward-looking vision?

"Okay, boss, I will get this done within half a month."

"Got it, get busy."

Lin Jiang nodded, then stood up and left the tea room. Several other secretaries, assistants, etc. around him also stood up and followed him immediately. Someone called a car. When Lin Jiang arrived at the door, there were already five cars waiting outside. The

five cars were exactly the same in color and appearance. There were small curtains on the windows inside, which could not be seen after they were drawn. Lin Jiang got on a car at random, and the convoy started to set off.

This is a very common protection measure. The prominent figures in Harbour City all do this. The reason for this is naturally a bloody lesson.

The motorcade arrived at the canning factory. The bodyguard got off the car first. After checking the surrounding area, Lin Jiang and others got off the car. In fact, Lin Jiang did not need the protection of these bodyguards at all, but he still had to put on a good show.

The canning factory has been renamed as the food processing factory. Canned food is just one of the products. Lin Jiang's main product now is single-soldier field food, which can heat up by itself. Some samples were sold on a small scale before and were warmly welcomed. The real assembly line has not been built yet, but the orders have been scheduled until next year.

This time, Lin Jiang came to inspect the new assembly line to see how efficient it is.

The factory director bowed his head and introduced everything about the factory to Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang listened silently. He had no less than fifty spies in the factory. In fact, he knew everything, including how this guy embezzled and so on. He had not been eliminated yet because the time had not come yet. When he was needed to take the blame, he would be the best candidate.

After the inspection, Lin Jiang did not stay for dinner and chose to go back. When he got back to the car, his secretary immediately said, "Boss, according to the current production, the food factory's net profit can reach 200,000 Chinese yuan per month, which has exceeded the film factory and is second only to the film company."

The profit of 200,000 yuan is enough to beat 90% of the factories on the market. Many factories are now on the verge of bankruptcy. A mature worker in a food factory only earns more than 30 yuan a month.

"200,000 yuan, then use the profit of the food factory as collateral and borrow 3 million to buy land"

"Boss, are you serious? If we borrow again, our cash flow will be very dangerous. Even if the three companies are industries with strong cash flow, once they encounter problems..."

"No problem, let's do it."

Lin Jiang waved his hand and stopped the secretary from talking. He is playing with high leverage now. How could he not know? But so what? Lin Jiang has confidence. Now it is not three years ago.

Back to his own manor, Lin Jiang met many guests one after another. Seeing that it was a little dark, Lin Jiang stopped meeting guests and then announced to rest, telling the secretary and others not to disturb him unless it was a big deal.

But Lin Jiang quietly left through the secret passage of his room, changed his clothes, changed his appearance, and practiced Qinggong, and soon came to the suburbs of Harbour City.

When the film company was popular, it attracted the covetousness of all kinds of monsters. For those powerful people, Lin Jiang had interests to exchange with them, so he naturally would not refuse. However, some gangs also wanted to get their hands on Lin Jiang's interests, which was to die. Lin Jiang personally took action and killed several gang bosses.

But when the gang boss died, it was just a replacement, and he still came to cause trouble. So Lin Jiang did not stop and directly supported some people to control the gang. Now more than half of the gangs in Harbour City are under Lin Jiang's command, and they don't know each other yet.

"Boss, boss..."

Lin Jiang came to the headquarters of a gang, and a group of gang leaders came to greet him. These high-level people were all promoted by Lin Jiang. The previous high-level people had been dealt with, so for now, they are very loyal to Lin Jiang.

"How is it going?"

"Boss, the third batch of 100 people has been sent out, and the fourth batch is being prepared."

"Yes, just send five batches of people."

Lin Jiang nodded. Lin Jiang's goal is to control this country or this world, so naturally he has to get involved in the military.

Therefore, every gang controlled by Lin Jiang arranged for people to join the army, one batch of 100 people, a total of five batches, these people are the kind who have wives and children. After they join the army, their families will be taken care of by the gangs, and if they make meritorious service in the army in the future, Lin Jiang will also help them climb up as quickly as possible.

And these are still the dark side. On the surface, Lin Jiang has established two orphanages, and some orphans who are about to grow up are also sent to the army after a few months of brainwashing. Thousands of people are sent in, and according to probability, there must be a few people who stand out.

"Yes, boss."

"Show me the income this month,"

Lin Jiang said immediately, and asked someone to bring the account book. After checking that it is correct, Lin Jiang took away 80% of the profit. Another very important role of the gang controlled by Lin Jiang is to provide him with cash flow.

This is also one of the sources of Lin Jiang's confidence in high turnover and high leverage. If the capital chain of those businesses on the surface has problems, he can save it if he can, but if he can't, he can always set up another business.

Lin Jiang took the money from several gangs and then invested it in several small businesses. These businesses are very small, such as opening a restaurant or something. These are not for making money, but to prepare more roads.

Lin Jiang wants to build a powerful business empire, but it can only be an ordinary business empire on the surface, and it cannot threaten those powerful people. Otherwise, it will definitely be split up, and maybe Lin Jiang will have an accident.

So Lin Jiang had planned it long ago, supporting several puppets, letting them start with small businesses, and spend decades, or even generations, slowly transforming into a business empire, and even getting involved in some special fields, such as mercenaries, and on the surface, they must have nothing to do with Lin Jiang.

This is a very detailed and long thing, and now it is just laying the groundwork bit by bit.
