Yin Lianyi moved quickly, quickly opening a huge safe in the chairman's office and taking out one booklet after another.
Lin Sanqi took it and placed it neatly in front of the executives.
"Please look at these, leaders! These are the receipts my great-grandfather and grandfather used to make when they bought antiques from antique shops. We even have their exit permits. My great-grandfather even cleared out four major antique shops in China.
"Alas, you don't know, my prodigal grandfather, and my prodigal grandfather, used all their business profits to buy antiques and jade. They lost their ambition due to their playthings, and eventually suffered huge losses in their business. That's why they returned to China to retire and became ordinary old farmers."
Lin Sanqi's excuse can be considered a closed loop.
After several appraisal experts took the booklet, they began a new round of appraisal.
Lin Sanqi continued to sing high-sounding tune:
"It just so happened that our Lingnan Hall business was suffering huge losses and our capital chain was tight. To save face, I acquired a school-run factory of Huadu Medical University, resulting in a loss of over 1 billion yuan. The previous machine tool business also lost another 2 billion yuan.
To support Traditional Chinese Medicine, I also invested $600 million in Huadu Medical University and Peking University of Chinese Medicine, which resulted in a total loss of over $5 billion. I raised all this money overseas and must repay it.
So I had no choice but to sell my great-grandfather's jade antiques.
"Of course, please rest assured, I had these antiques appraised by experts from the Huadu Museum before auctioning them. I've turned over all the national treasures and will not auction them off."
Well, Lin Sanqi’s statement is closed again, and it is consistent with the information known to the relevant departments.
However, it was not handed over for free, but was exchanged for a piece of land in Tianhe New City.
There are definitely doubts, but as long as it can be proven that these cultural relics were indeed purchased legally, then no doubts matter. You can't stop someone from selling something that was passed down from their ancestors, right?
After all, these cultural relics were sold by themselves, and the sources of the antiques back then were not very legal.
Section Chief Song knew that it was better not to delve into historical issues too deeply, otherwise it would be embarrassing for some leaders in certain departments.
So when he heard Lin Sanqi's explanation, he nodded slightly:
"It's a good idea to ask our experts to appraise this. It shows you're honest and upright. National treasures cannot be lost overseas, otherwise you, Lin Sanqi, will become a historical sinner. Listen to this, how terrifying! This historical evaluation is the same as that of a certain Sanshui native. Haha."
Lin Sanqi wondered what merit or ability he had to be the same as the people of Sanshui?
While the two were still chatting, several appraisal experts had finished their work and nodded at Section Chief Song, indicating that there was no problem with the documents.
Section Chief Song looked at his watch and then stood up.
"Then Director Lin, President Lin, we've accomplished our mission today. The general direction is sound, and we won't pursue any minor doubts. On my own behalf, I hope Lingnan Hall continues to thrive, and of course, I also hope that it stays on the right track."
Lin Sanqi also quickly stood up:
"Of course, of course. We only want to make money and will never touch sensitive matters. I'll see you off."
A few of them chatted and laughed until they reached the entrance of the building on the first floor. Two Buick commercial vehicles were already parked at the entrance, with two red passes placed in the windshields.
Before Section Chief Song got in the car, he whispered a few words to Lin Sanqi:
"Director Lin, don't feel like you're under any pressure. Everything has its pros and cons. Your Lingnan Hall has come under the attention of the relevant departments, and this is definitely not a bad thing.
Having us watching over you is actually a form of protection for you. Those evildoers in society won't dare to come to you easily. I think this is beneficial to the development of your Lingnan Hall business."
Lin Sanqi understood, really understood.
If Lingdi Hall violates the law and betrays national interests, the relevant departments will definitely destroy Lingnan Hall as soon as possible.
But if Lingnan Hall behaves itself and contributes to the country, then all dirty hands reaching out to Lingnan Hall will be ruthlessly cut off, allowing the business to operate with peace of mind.
The relevant departments don't care how you make money, but the premise is that you can't sell out national interests.
Lin Sanqi also shook Section Chief Song's hand firmly:
"Please give us more guidance in the future. I am in charge of the overall direction. If there is anything out of the ordinary in our operations, please ask the leaders to warn us. I am afraid that someone below us may cross the red line without realizing it."
Section Chief Song waved his hand:
"Okay, okay. As long as the general direction is okay, we're not kindergarten teachers. We won't get involved in too much detail. That's it, let's go."
Lin Sanqi was already in the mood to joke:
"Boss, it's already evening, how about we go have a working lunch?"
Section Chief Song waved his hands repeatedly:
"Forget it, forget it. I ate your work lunch today, and I'll be invited to have tea tomorrow, haha. Let's go."
Looking at the taillights of the two Buick commercial vehicles, Lin Sanqi and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
After passing the most difficult level, you can show your skills later.
If I can get in touch with the relevant departments, it shouldn't be difficult for me to learn from Cao Xiaoqiang and get some outdated weapons in the future.
In the Buick business car, several people wearing executive jackets were chatting about what they had seen and heard today.
One of the jackets exclaimed:
"I can't believe it. I can't believe it. They made 200 billion yuan from a single transaction. This isn't 20 million, nor is it 200 million yuan. This is a full 200 billion yuan. And it was handed over to a private enterprise like this. This is totally abnormal."
Section Chief Song laughed:
"It's certainly unusual, but there's nothing we can do. They have all the necessary documentation, and what Lin Sanqi just said is consistent. For example, our investigation revealed that his ancestors did indeed make a name for themselves in Hong Kong, but we can't find out what they did there."
But I don't think there is any need to doubt whether the other party is an overseas infiltrator. Lingnan Hall sells ginseng and jade, which have nothing to do with the national economy and people's livelihood, nor do they involve state secrets. We have no reason to interfere too much.
Besides, this is only in Lingnan Hall. They paid 50 billion in taxes. Just based on this fact, we must protect these law-abiding taxpayers.
If the dandies from the northern courtyards were allowed to get their hands on the jade, the country wouldn't get a single cent of tax revenue, and might even have to take out a bank loan. "After all, Lin Sanqi is a law-abiding person."
Another executive jacket worried:
"Lin Sanqi doesn't necessarily follow the rules. According to our investigation, he has been secretly transferring assets overseas. In the past, it was only a few hundred million dollars, so we turned a blind eye. After all, his procedures were legal on the surface.
But this time, the 200 billion is different. Even if we deduct the taxes, there's still 150 billion, which is almost 25 billion US dollars. This figure is so huge that it will have an impact on China's foreign exchange and financial markets."
Section Chief Song nodded:
"This is indeed a problem. Although he hinted that he only needed to exchange 15 billion RMB, this amount alone is 2.5 billion US dollars, which is also a staggering number. Although he said it in a nice way, we have to be on guard!"
The others also nodded repeatedly, obviously they did not believe Lin Sanqi's promise.
Section Chief Song suddenly had an idea:
"Well, he said he was planning to make large-scale domestic purchases of second-hand factories that have been eliminated due to environmental issues or technological upgrades. Let's test him first to see if this acquisition is real or just a pretense."
Several people in the car became interested: "How do we test it?"
Section Chief Song said thoughtfully:
"Didn't he say he wanted to acquire a thermal power plant or an oil refinery? We don't have anything else. Nationwide, there are a lot of these outdated power plants.
The country has a latest document that all inefficient coal-fired units below 300,000 kilowatts must be shut down.
Not to mention anything else, Dongguan Province alone will have to shut down a total of several million kilowatts of capacity this year, including more than a dozen thermal power plants of all sizes.
Originally, after these thermal power plants were shut down, all the generators were to be disposed of as scrap. Now, isn't Lin Sanqi talking about wanting these obsolete generators? Sell them all to him and see if he'll take them?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up and then burst out laughing.
"This is a good test. If we just sell him a power plant, he might just bite his tongue and agree. With the Humen Power Plant, whose total assets are worth tens of billions, wouldn't it be too much to charge him 3 billion for the generators?"
For example, Dongguang Province is going to phase out thermal power units this year, and there are more than ten power plants. If we put all the second-hand equipment together and sell it to him, it shouldn't be a problem to get tens of billions from him, right?"
Another jacket also suggested:
"As for the refineries, that's even simpler. In Dongguang Province, there are petrochemical plants like Maoming, Huadu, Huizhou, and Zhanjiang. These petrochemical plants have more obsolete refining equipment, and we can sell them all to Lin Sanqi."
Section Chief Song also thought this method was feasible at this time:
"Okay, if you don't want to play, then let's play big. We'll give him 20 billion for an old power plant and another 20 billion for an old refinery. We'll arrange the supply for him, and it's up to him to decide whether he wants it or not.
If he refuses to buy a used factory worth only 30 or 40 billion, then there's definitely something wrong. On the other hand, if he readily agrees, then we can rest assured that he's not lying.
And this is definitely a good thing. Our entire country is currently upgrading its technology. If we could sell all our obsolete second-hand equipment to Lin Sanqi, it would free up a lot of capital and help many companies out of their difficulties.”
Inside the car, everyone thought this method worked.
As for how they contact others, it is very simple. Just a phone call and an official letter can help others sell obsolete equipment, and no matter how many companies come out to welcome them, they will be unable to do so.
Lin Sanqi had no idea he was about to face a test, and he began to pay close attention to the antique auction. (End of this chapter)
