Lin Sanqi doesn't like drinking.
Moreover, as a Dongguan native, he was not particularly sensitive to liquor, but in order to fit in, he had to raise his glass and pretend to be very satisfied.
After a long time, the three of them were a little drunk.
Director Qin sighed, "After drinking Moutai for so many years, I finally realized what the Moutai of the past was like. It was just like plain water. This is what a good wine is."
Section Chief Song was also a little excited:
"Hey, if my old man, my dad, drank this Moutai, they would surely become immortals. It's a pity they don't have that blessing."
Lin Sanqi waved his hand and said proudly:
"Director Qin, Section Chief Song, why are you being so polite to me? Anyway, I've opened this wine jar. This wine won't last long. You each take 100 kilograms away."
Director Qin hesitated after hearing this and secretly glanced at Section Chief Song.
Section Chief Song rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you looking at me? I'm not a member of the disciplinary committee. Are you afraid that I'll put you under double supervision?"
Lin Sanqi laughed out loud:
"Director Qin, you've seen it too. I have no shortage of Moutai here. Things that others treasure are as precious as treasures, but I have them in abundance. I'm just giving some wine to everyone to have fun. Even if Brother Song were here, he wouldn't make a big deal out of it."
Section Chief Song snorted:
"Brother Lin, your wine is not cheap. It's 1949 raw liquor. Selling it for 100,000 yuan per kilogram is nothing. 100 kilograms of wine, that's 10 million yuan."
Director Qin was so frightened that the wine in his glass spilled out. If it really was ten million, he wouldn't dare to accept it.
In other words, he didn't dare to accept it in front of Section Chief Song.
Lin Sanqi had called the two of them over today to give them gifts. Money alone wouldn't necessarily be accepted, and giving bulk Moutai liquor would be unclear.
"Brother Song, don't scare me. According to you, this jar of wine of mine is worth half a hundred million? Do you think that's possible?
Besides, this Moutai was collected by my great-grandfather's generation. At that time, Moutai was only a few yuan a bottle. It is said that Moutai was far from being the national liquor at that time, and it was not even as good as Shanxi Fenjiu.
So, both of you leaders should take some back with you as souvenirs."
Section Chief Song was a little bit overwhelmed, but he still had his rationality:
"Brother Lin, I understand what you mean. You called us to such a private place just to give us Moutai. But we have rules. It's okay to eat and drink a little, but taking more is a mistake."
Lin Sanqi knew that he couldn't hide this from the two old foxes in front of him, so he just played the straight ball:
"Director Qin, Brother Song, there are only three of us here now, so I'll tell you what's really on my mind.
I invited you two here, to this vault, because I consider you my true friends. Don't say you can't make true friends in this world. If I put myself in your shoes, how could I not have friends?
As for me, although I don't do illegal business, Brother Song knows best that I had such a large sum of money. At the time, I was too excited and overjoyed. Thinking about it now, this is really a hot potato. "
Director Qin suddenly asked, "Did you really make over 100 billion from selling jade?"
He had only heard it mentioned by the main leader, but had not confirmed it. Moreover, the matter was still confidential and not many people knew about it.
Lin Sanqi nodded:
"I made some money selling jade, but it was mainly because I had no business experience and had lost a lot of money, so I wanted to sell some jade to make up for it. But during the negotiations, the top ten jewelers demanded that I either sell nothing or sell everything to them.
I was forced to sell all my Hetian jade in one go. Otherwise, imagine if I had sold my 1,000 tons of high-grade Hetian jade slowly, I could have fetched more than 500 billion yuan.”
Director Qin exclaimed, "Oh my god, why didn't my ancestors have such vision?"
Section Chief Song then said, "This money is indeed hot to the touch. It's too much."
After hesitating for a moment, Section Chief Song continued:
"There was a dispute among the higher-ups at the time, with one leader advocating a thorough investigation. They felt there was something fishy about this batch of jade. Could it be that an unknown jade vein had been found on a mountain in Hotan, and someone was illegally mining the jade? That would be illegal.
However, some leaders believe that this batch of jade has legal certificates, is a normal transaction, and has all the necessary formalities, so we should protect the normal economic order and the state should not interfere too much. The principle is to presume innocence.
In the end, you were the smart one. You immediately stated that you would use the money to purchase domestic materials for export sales, and only second-hand equipment was needed.
This happened to be a blessing in disguise and helped Dongguan Province a lot.
Believe it or not, if you dared to convert this money into foreign currency and run away secretly, or evade taxes or engage in other dishonest behavior, you would immediately face the people's iron fist. So you know the times."
Lin Sanqi quickly flattered him:
“This is also the time when Brother Song first met. He reminded me well and cleverly, so I didn’t make a mistake.
And to be honest, doing business in China is incredibly difficult, especially for private companies like us. Why is it so difficult? It's hard to explain, but if I do, it's likely to be censored.
So I also want to hold someone’s thigh, hoping that someone will support me at the critical moment, normal support, not that kind of black umbrella.
But if I try to curry favor with someone at a higher level, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on to that person, and I'll be swallowed up whole without even a bone left.
To be honest, I don't want to be someone's dog and have to look after their faces. If I am not free physically, economically and financially, then I will just be a fat sheep, at the mercy of others.
But I have to do something big, and without anyone to support me, I feel unsure. This is why I think of my two brothers."
Lin Sanqi is now financially independent and no longer pursues business in this time and space. However, his career in another time and space is just beginning.
He wants to build a modern industrial park, or even a special economic zone, so he needs a huge amount of money. Is 100 billion enough?
It’s far from enough.
Outsiders don’t know that Lin Sanqi’s money needs to be spent, and he is worried that he doesn’t have enough money.
Outsiders only know how much money Lin Sanqi made. A private business owner made 100 billion? 200 billion?
Is this the kind of money you, a small boss, can earn? Take it and give it to me.
As long as such a man-eating capital giant exists, Lin Sanqi will never have peace in the future.
For some powerful people, having money is the original sin, and money can only belong to them.
Section Chief Song burst into laughter when he heard this:
"Well, you are indeed honest, I like to hear that. Why should you be a dog for others? If you are a dog, you should be prepared for the fate of being eaten alive after the rabbit dies.
I've seen a lot of businessmen like this. Even if they build a nationally renowned company, what good is it? In front of big capital, you are still a dog and can be killed at any time.
The impact of the "XX Milk" incident was extremely bad, but the real culprit behind the scenes is still at large, making private entrepreneurs tremble in fear.
So, Brother Lin, I understand your concerns very well. According to our investigation, many people have caused trouble for your Lingnan Hall in the past two years, and many people also want to invest in Lingnan Hall. You just can't write it down.
But if you want to find a backer, I really don't think it's necessary. Director Qin and I can't be your backers.
Our level is not high enough, so if something really happens and someone calls us, we can only shut up. Otherwise, it means we don’t know the rules and there will be no place for us in the circle.
What I mean is that you must operate legally and never touch any illegal business, no matter how profitable it is.
Furthermore, the company's finances must be healthy, and tax evasion is a big no-no. Don't be afraid of hassles; certain procedures and documents must be in place.
In addition, your personal life must be clean. Don't touch pornography, gambling, or drugs. Of course, having a mistress is not a big deal, after all, you are not an official.
At the same time, you must also take care of your family and relatives. Many people want to drag you into trouble, and they will definitely start with the relatives around you. Will you obey them or not?
As long as you live an honest life, conduct business in an honest manner, generate tax revenue for the country, create jobs for society, and benefit the country and the people, then if trouble really strikes, we have reason to speak up for you.
Even if the worst-case scenario were to occur, and someone with all-powerful connections wanted to get you, as long as you didn't go to jail and didn't lose your personal freedom, I, I have a way to secretly send you out of the country and set you free.
Anyway, you have money, you can still eat and drink well abroad, right? "
Since the truth or dare game had begun, Director Qin also told a few truths:
"Section Chief Song is right. Clinging to the thighs of others is not a good idea, just like you are trying to cling to the thighs of the main leader through me.
But have you ever thought about this: if he is transferred or promoted in a few years, and is no longer in the position and does not interfere in the affairs of state, will he still care about you?
Then you switch to hugging another thigh? What if the next boss doesn't like you?
Sometimes it is definitely not a good thing to dance too happily. In the eyes of your boss, you will be regarded as a traitor who has no loyalty and is more likely to do bad things. So it is better to keep a low profile.
Real leaders are dedicated to getting things done and achieving results. They have their own ambitions, and a businessman like you might not be in their sight. (End of chapter)
