In the 5880th year of the Xia calendar, the Allied Navy was defeated.

After that, the war was mainly fought by the army. The two sides fought bloody battles in the original Zhongzhou area. During the years-long war, both sides used various new weapons such as airplanes, tanks, and poison gas bombs, which also created a terrible record of casualties. The total number of casualties on the battlefields of both sides exceeded hundreds of millions, not counting the people affected by the war.

In the 5885th year of the Xia calendar, the Allied Powers were the first to be unable to support it. They almost wiped out a generation of young people, and the war resource area was exhausted, so they initiated peace talks.

The three allied countries also suffered heavy losses. Years of war also caused a large number of deaths of their young people. The casualties were not lower than those of the Allied Powers, and the domestic economy was also a mess. The anti-war wave was one after another, so they accepted the request for peace talks.

After several months of negotiations, the two sides signed a treaty, a defeat treaty that was very unfavorable to the Allied Powers, and imposed various restrictions on them, such as forcing some of the Allied Powers to dissolve parliament, restricting their military development, and asking them to pay war reparations.

After the treaty was signed, the allies were happy, thinking that they had won and there would be no more war in the world.

At Bianhai University, Lin Jiang poured a cup of tea for several professors, and then listened to them talk about what they were researching now.

Several people tried their best to persuade Lin Jiang to fund their research. Now Lin Jiang was one of the few people who was willing to invest in them.

The war had been going on for so many years, and the country had been half-dead poor. How could there be any funds for their research? Especially since several of them were engaged in cutting-edge academic theories, it was not easy to realize these research.

Lin Jiang smiled and listened to them talk about their research. Although they had exaggerated many times, in Lin Jiang's opinion, it was still a failed plan and could not impress a qualified capitalist at all.

Of course, Lin Jiang did not let them go back empty-handed. He promised to give them a grant, but it could not be the number they said, which was a big discount.

They seemed very disappointed, but when they went out, they all laughed out loud, because they had shouted out a number in the first place, and now they had achieved their goal.

After they left, Lin Jiang went to visit other professors at Bianhai University, especially those in science and engineering. Lin Jiang was quite polite to them.

Bianhai University is a higher education institution in the Huaxia Federation second only to Kyoto University and Kyoto University of Science and Technology. The faculty is very strong. Lin Jiang's food factory hired professors from Bianhai University to solve several technical problems. After a few visits, everyone became familiar with each other.

Now that the war is over, it should be a time for all industries to be revived, but in fact it is not the case. The economy is still very depressed for the time being, because the destructive power of the war is too great. Even those colonies have been beaten to ruins. What purchasing power is there? Before the government introduces new economic policies, everyone's life is very difficult.

Of course, this does not include the rich. In this era, the gap between the rich and the poor is rapidly widening. The rich can continue to live a life of luxury. Just look at Lin Jiang's increasingly popular film factory. Now the products of several camera factories are not enough to sell every year.

However, it is difficult for some college students. They will be unemployed after graduation, which is too miserable. The teachers in the school can't stand it, and they all look for ways out for them and find familiar bosses to make connections.

Lin Jiang meets most of the requests of these professors and teachers. Even if many people's majors are not useful to him now, Lin Jiang also accepts them.

"Mr. Lin, my students are majoring in mechanical processing, which is not in line with your current career. Why are you willing to give them high-paying positions?"

"Respect knowledge and respect talents"

"Mr. Lin, we are so familiar with each other, don't fool us, we want to hear the truth."

Several professors looked at each other and felt that Lin Jiang was fooling them. The big masters in the parliament also said that they respect knowledge and talents, but they don't increase their funding every year, but instead they keep causing trouble for them.

"Professors, I'm not just saying this to please you. I really think so. You've helped me several times, but you still don't know my philosophy. Science and technology are the primary productive forces. The masters of the parliament should be engineers, not those shameless politicians..."

Lin Jiang immediately spoke eloquently, and his few words touched their hearts. Most people in science and engineering have a problem, that is, they think technology can save the world and change the world.

So their thinking is very straightforward. Lin Jiang's words made them find resonance. Even the way they looked at Lin Jiang was different. There was light in their eyes. That was called worship.

In the 5886th year of the Xia calendar, Lin Jiang established the first commercial laboratory in China, hired hundreds of engineers, technical experts, etc. from many universities, gave them research funds, and let them set up projects for research.

In the same year, Lin Jiang's business territory expanded again, and began to enter the heavy industry, won the mining rights of two iron mines, and began to build an iron smelting plant.

Such heavy assets are naturally not something that Lin Jiang can take alone. The connections that Lin Jiang has made in recent years have played a great role. Although there are more than a dozen shareholders, Lin Jiang still has control.

Two years later, the iron smelting plant under Lin Jiang's name is the most advanced in the world. The large number of engineers in Lin Jiang's hands have made outstanding contributions. Lin Jiang has made a lot of money just by selling iron smelting equipment. In the

same year, Lin Jiang launched a very powerful patent law in the Huaxia Federation, requiring the federal court to improve and revise the patent law full of loopholes. This move has received support from a large number of business and academic circles, and finally obtained the consent of the federal court. They promised to introduce a new patent law within a year.

A year later, the new patent law was introduced. Less than half a year later, Lin Jiang applied for thousands of patents in one go, all of which were masterpieces of those engineers. Of course, their team has also grown.

Then, Lin Jiang set an example for other companies, letting them know what a legal department is, and there will be special lawyers to fight lawsuits for them in the future.

After 12 years of debut, Lin Jiang has gone from being a nobody to a billionaire in Harbour City, ranking among the top 100, and has become a legend.

"The Lin Yang alias is almost done, now I have to start my real business territory."

Lin Jiang looked at a magazine in his hand, which was an interview with him. Naturally, he used the alias Lin Yang, which he had used before.

The background of the Lin Yang alias is that of a young man from a small town. The town was attacked and massacred by bandits, and he was the only survivor. Apart from that, his background is very ordinary, so his current achievements have reached the limit of ordinary people. It will not be so easy to go further, and he might expose something.

So Lin Jiang decided to stop the growth of the Lin Yang alias and start another business territory. This time, Lin Jiang is not going to show up in person, as he already has many subordinates.

The first batch of orphans taken in, the youngest are now fifteen or sixteen years old. After more than ten years of careful training, most of them have become talents.

Lin Jiang had secretly set up many shops before, and also registered these orphans in the household registration of those shop owners. On the surface, they were their children and grandchildren.

Now Lin Jiang arranged for them to inherit the family business. The previous shops had more than ten years of savings. It was normal to take out a sum of money to expand or enter other industries. It can be said that even if the most powerful detective of this era was asked to investigate, it would be difficult to find out anything.

In the following two years, these businessmen who only had one or two shops as capital were smooth sailing in business, as if pie in the sky was chasing them, which made their wealth rise rapidly and they also had a certain reputation in Harbour City.

"One million white money, three million black money, give you half a year to whitewash, after whitewashing, you go to invest in a tractor factory..."

In the 5894th year of the Xia calendar, Lin Jiang said to the young people in front of him. They were all orphans adopted by Lin Jiang. One of them was the company controller arranged by Lin Jiang, and the others were executives of his company. In fact, it was also a means for Lin Jiang to balance them.

As for the four million funds, one million was from Lin Yang, the vest, and three million was obtained by him controlling those gangs. Lin Jiang didn't want to waste them, so he asked them to launder all the money to the new company.

Several people looked at each other, agreed, and said several feasible plans. Lin Jiang was very satisfied with this and let them leave.

Not long after they left, another group of people came in. Lin Jiang gave them millions of funds again, this time asking them to invest in fertilizer plants.

Groups of people came in and left again. They didn't know each other because Lin Jiang had separated them a long time ago. After more than ten years, their appearances had changed a lot. Even if they knew, Lin Jiang was not afraid. Lin Jiang still believed that their generation was loyal enough to him. As for their descendants, Lin Jiang also had ways to control them.

This time, the factories that Lin Jiang asked them to invest in could all be transformed into war resources during wartime. For example, the tractor factory could produce tanks at that time, and the fertilizer factory could also be turned into an explosives factory.

Lin Jiang did this because he knew that there would be more world wars. The countries of the Allied Powers were forced to sign such unequal treaties by the Central Powers, and there must be resentment among them. So as long as a painter raised his hand at that time, something might appear.

Moreover, even if there were no such things, the war would have to be fought sooner or later, and those colonies would also have national awakening movements. It is impossible for you to exploit them forever.

In short, Lin Jiang needed such a war so that they could easily get rid of Lin Yang's vest, and let these controlled companies develop by leaps and bounds, so that they could become a behind-the-scenes consortium.
