It is already May in the capital.
Even in the north, the season of revival has arrived. The lakeside is covered in lush greenery, which makes people feel happy.
In a conference room of a certain government headquarters on Fuxingmen, a group of old men were sitting there smoking. From time to time, they would pick up their teacups to take a few sips of water, and then spit out a few tea leaves because their mouths were full of tea foam.
After Leader Jing finished speaking, he looked at everyone in the conference room with a sharp gaze.
"What do you think of Comrade Lin Sanqi's idea? The higher-ups want us to discuss it. Since today's meeting is closed, the comrades in the secretariat shouldn't take notes."
Upon hearing this, the two young men in Zhongshan suits stopped writing, handed in their notebooks, and walked out of the meeting room, closing the door behind them.
I have to say that Leader Jing is very experienced in struggle and will not give others any handle to hold against him.
One of the leaders asked, "Lao Jing, and Minister Li, you two have the most contact with Comrade Lin Sanqi. Could you please share your opinions first?"
Minister Li is the head of the Ministry of Health and Lin Sanqi's nominal superior.
"My personal opinion is that I tend to agree with Lin Sanqi's proposal.
Comrade Lin Sanqi's tremendous contributions to our country over the years have been evident to all. Did he have any selfish motives? As the saying goes, a journey reveals a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's true character.
Let’s not talk about the infectious disease hospital for now. Just the X-ray production line and national coal distribution data he provided solved a huge problem for us. How many people were prevented from freezing to death last winter?
We also sold the diamonds he sent us in batches, earning $50 million in valuable foreign exchange. How much foreign exchange do we have in our entire treasury now? Eighty million. It can be said that almost all of it was provided by Comrade Lin Sanqi.
What did he want? Chinese medicinal herbs, liquor, jade, and so on. Later, he also took a fancy to antiques and curios, but we were selling these anyway, so selling them to him was no different from selling them to anyone else.
The price he sold it to Lin Sanqi was even higher, dozens of times higher, practically giving it away for free. Therefore, I personally believe that Lin Sanqi's proposal to establish an industrial zone in Bao'an County is feasible, credible, and feasible."
Leader Jing also added at this time:
"Yes, I've discussed this with Comrade Lin Sanqi. He told me explicitly that because he's always been losing money trading with us, he's also been under a lot of pressure within their base."
Leader Jing looked at everyone in the conference room, a little moved:
"Let me give you an example. Comrade Lin Sanqi didn't give us a discount and even raised the price. Would we buy the millions of bottles of penicillin, the X-ray production line, and the 2,000 machine tools he offered?
For example, a state-of-the-art machine tool costs $100,000 overseas, but they embargo it on us. Lin Sanqi secretly smuggles it in and sells it to us for $150,000. Would we buy it?
Not only will we buy it, but we will probably also be grateful to him, Lin Sanqi.
As a result, now Comrade Lin Sanqi is willing to sell us machine tools at a bargain price, and even does not want money or gold, but only wants some cheap things to trade. Should we doubt his intentions?
We have always had the saying that gratitude is rewarded with a little rice, and resentment is resentful with a big rice. But I need to remind everyone that when Lin Sanqi was a dean in China, he was not seeking power or wealth, but was actually helping us build New China.
Minister Li also continued at this time:
"Lin Sanqi also told me before that if we want to establish our own medical system, we must not only have our own pharmaceutical research institutes, but also our own drug production lines. Only then can we lead the world.
He had previously considered setting up a pharmaceutical factory in Changping Farm, but later told me that after careful consideration, he felt that Changping was too close to the capital, and the pharmaceutical factory would be lost if there was any disturbance.
So, while the Infectious Disease Hospital's outpatient volume has been doubling and the patients are thronging, have you noticed that all of its medications are still privately supplied by Lin Sanqi? There is no anti-tuberculosis drug production line in China.
This situation is unreasonable. If all the medicines in a hospital are managed by one person, and if something happens to Comrade Lin Sanqi and he becomes difficult to take care of, will the infectious disease hospital be ready to close down?
A leader was a little surprised and said:
"Those anti-tuberculosis drugs aren't produced domestically? Why didn't Comrade Lin Sanqi build a new pharmaceutical factory?"
Minister Li then further explained:
"Comrade Lin Sanqi considered more than just Changping. He also considered Huhai, Jiangcheng, Shuangqing, and Huadu, but ultimately rejected them all. Honestly, I don't know what he was worried about.
For example, I personally think Changping is a great location, close to the city, and universities are readily available for support. Furthermore, Changping Farm has its own springs and land, which solves both food and water issues. How wonderful!
Leader Jing joked at this time:
"This guy said he would feel unstable in the future and was talking nonsense. He said he chose Shatoujiao Commune in Bao'an County because it has double insurance.
First, there are military garrisons at the Bao'an County border. Second, Sha Tau Kok is tightly sealed off from the Hong Kong River by land, making it inaccessible to ordinary people. He feels particularly safe this way.
Another leader laughed and scolded:
"Is this kid afraid someone might steal his stuff? He's such a coward! He has something valuable but he's hiding it, afraid someone might steal it. We're in New China, not the Republic of China era of warlords."
A leader wearing glasses also spoke at this time:
"It's better to be cautious than to be lawless. Some things are not something others can touch."
At this time, a leader sitting in the main seat was smoking a cigarette, his face showing no expression or stance. He just asked slowly:
"Comrade Lin Sanqi, how do you plan to develop this industrial park?"
Leader Jing opened his notebook and continued to report to everyone:
"Comrade Lin Sanqi's intention was that we would provide the land and manpower, while he would provide the capital, technology, and production lines. He would take 51% of the equity, and we would take 49%."
As soon as this was said, someone immediately raised an objection:
"That's absolutely not possible. We're collaborating with a private company, and they're now controlling the company? We don't allow such arrogant capitalists to exist on our land."
"Yes, we have finally overthrown the three great mountains and made the people the masters of their own destiny. How can we go back to the old ways?"
"This equity ratio is unreasonable and does not conform to the country's major policies."
Leader Jing heard everyone's expected objections, then he smiled and continued to explain:
"Everyone, please listen to me. Comrade Lin Sanqi also said that if there are any dividends, we will take 90% and he will take 10%. At the appropriate time, he will give up his shares and donate them all."
hiss~~~
Everyone in the conference room gasped. This was a bit awkward.
After all, Lin Sanqi invested money and technology, started from scratch and built a few factories, but he could only make 10% of the profit. How many people can do that?
Not to mention that it will be donated in the future, which is equivalent to giving the country a top industrial zone for free. The economic value of it is immeasurable.
You don’t even want it for free?
The leaders present here all came from the revolutionary era. Back then, life was so difficult with only millet and rifles, and they still had some small peasant mentality in their bones.
If you ask them to invest money, they will definitely not be willing to do so;
But if you say that you get an industrial zone, many factories and a lot of foreign exchange for free, then we can talk about it.
It seems that it is not impossible! (Refer to Li Yunlong)
A leader made his statement at this time:
"I think there's nothing wrong with Lin Sanqi's proposal. It doesn't matter who holds the equity; what matters is that the bulk of the profits are with us. Right now, everyone is short of money and foreign exchange. I believe that once this industrial park is built, it will become the country's largest source of revenue."
A certain leader was somewhat embarrassed:
"But this doesn't conform to national policy. We are a country that upholds the collective system. How can we allow private factories?"
Leader Jing jokingly said:
"That's not necessarily true. Don't forget about public-private partnerships. This is a national policy, and it's a model where the public and private sectors each hold shares, operate the business together, and share the profits.
Not to mention the old capitalists like the Rong and Sheng families, just look at how many small restaurants and taverns outside Zhengyang Gate are privately-owned? Setting up a factory is another form of public-private partnership.
The leader nodded slightly: "Public-private partnership, this name is acceptable."
Once the leader said this, it was equivalent to defining the nature of the matter, and it was also equivalent to turning on the green light, and there were no more policy restrictions.
Leader Jing, Minister Li, and other open-minded leaders all breathed a sigh of relief. Their stance was still primarily focused on economic development and was very pragmatic. (End of this chapter)
