Fuxing Road, inside a large compound.
After the secretary made tea for the two bosses, he left the room and closed the door.
Leader Jing picked up the teacup, sniffed it, and then took a sip:
"Mm, clear tea with green leaves, naturally refreshing, bitter followed by sweetness. This is really good tea. I guess you are the only one who has the best tea in the country right now."
Tea is the most important foreign exchange earner, so almost all the good tea in the country is exported.
Later, as the economic situation worsened, even medium-quality tea was exported, causing domestic tea prices to rise higher and higher, until finally even tea leaves could not be afforded.
Tea is almost never seen on the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative, and you can’t buy it even with tea tickets.
Although Leader Jing has a high rank and has no shortage of tea, it is still difficult for him to make good tea.
Nowadays, people who can afford to drink tea often chew the tea leaves and swallow them at the end, not daring to waste them at all.
Lin Sanqi flattered him and said:
"Boss, this is Biluochun. Back then, provinces across the country exchanged their specialties for a batch of penicillin. This is what Su Province sent. I exported most of it, but of course I also kept a little for myself."
Leader Jing said with a smile:
"In the past, our domestic exports were mainly to Japan and Southeast Asia, but now our export targets have become your Lin Sanqi. It's a pity that what you want is expensive and fine, otherwise we would really like to export all our coal to you."
Lin Sanqi quickly waved his hands:
"Boss, I don't want coal. The main energy source overseas right now is oil. The energy business is difficult because of logistics and transportation. Shipping such a large amount of goods overseas would be incredibly expensive and not cost-effective."
However, the main reason I came back this time was to discuss with the leaders that our Baoan Industrial Park is ready to start construction. Now 30,000 railway engineers have moved in and are carrying out preliminary geological surveys and leveling work.
I will prepare the domestically scarce building materials like cement and steel bars myself, but a large amount of bricks, sand, gravel, lime, roof tiles, ceramic tiles, wood, etc., all require state support."
Leader Jing nodded as soon as he heard it:
"It's just some basic building materials, that's no problem. But, ahem, you also know the current situation at the grassroots level. We can order the local authorities to provide free support to Bao'an County, but the local situation is really too difficult..."
Lin Sanqi was also speechless, thinking, you really don't intend to pay a penny?
"Okay, I'll buy these building materials. I don't care if you want money or food. But I have one condition: I'll be the only one to handle all the domestic sand and gravel business, including exports."
Leader Jing paused and narrowed his eyes:
"No, no, you never speak or act without a purpose. You must have a purpose. Tell me, why do you want to monopolize the sand and gravel business?"
Lin Sanqi knew that he couldn't hide it from the old fox, and he didn't want to hide it either:
"Boss, think about it, why did I say I want to purchase sand and gravel domestically? Why not import it from abroad?"
Leader Jing asked back, "Didn't you just say that logistics and transportation are inconvenient and the freight is too expensive?"
Lin Sanqi continued to remind:
"Yes, transporting sand and gravel is a problem for me, but isn't it a problem for others?"
Leader Jing was very smart. He looked at the national map on the wall and then stared at a place under the chicken's belly:
"You mean, Hong Kong and Macau?"
Lin Sanqi clapped his hands and said:
"Yes, these are the two places. My judgment is that although Hong Kong's current industry is very strong, British and Chinese capital in Hong Kong have already set their sights on the real estate industry.
Because real estate makes money quickly. Once the land is auctioned, the Hong Kong Eagle government can get a large amount of land fees. Once the houses are built and sold, the real estate developers can make a lot of money. This is all fast money.
Running a factory and earning tax revenue—how much money does that really bring? The key is that the government is burdened with collecting taxes and has to guard against tax evasion. Capitalists, on the other hand, find running a factory too tiring and potentially even unprofitable.
Therefore, in the end, capital and the Hong Kong Eagle government will definitely collude to develop real estate together, making real estate the economic pillar of Hong Kong, and both sides will harvest ordinary citizens to make quick money and make big money.
Leader Jing disagreed:
"That's not right. If you, as a citizen, want to buy a house, you have to have money. If ordinary people don't have money, what's the point of building more and better houses? If people don't buy them, who are the capitalists going to sell them to?"
Lin Sanqi laughed and said sarcastically:
"If citizens can't pay full price for a house, it would be much easier to just get a loan from a bank and buy it in installments."
Leader Jing was a little surprised:
"I understand this. Shanghai also had this kind of mortgage before liberation. But the consequences are very serious. These citizens will have to repay the bank a large sum of money every month, and this will last for decades. They will be working for the bank their whole lives.
The key is that this group of people will have no money to spend in the future. Although there will be a short-term economic boom due to the booming real estate market, it will eventually fall into economic deflation and market depression. Can the Hong Kong Eagle government not see this harm?
Lin Sanqi smiled bitterly and said:
"Yes, they are house slaves. They have lived frugally all their lives, and have been sucked dry all their lives. They have lived frugally and finally became one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong.
How could the Hong Kong Eagle government not see this harm? They are smart. After all, Hong Kong is not their personal property. The gray income they get is their personal property. Who would cherish something that is not their own?
Leader Jing tapped his fingers on the armrest of his chair and pondered for a moment:
"I understand. You think Hong Kong will develop into a real estate company in the future, which will require a large amount of sand and gravel. However, Hong Kong's geographical location is unique, so a large amount of sand and gravel can only be supplied from the mainland.
If you monopolize the gravel business, it's like your Lin family has a firm grip on Hong Kong's real estate market. You can become a real estate developer or a raw material supplier. Whether or not you can build a house depends on your Lin family's wishes."
Lin Sanqi shrugged, thinking that it was a good thing that he told the truth, because others would be able to guess it almost exactly, and then he would be in a passive position.
"Yes, leaders, you can't expect the horse to run without eating grass, right? The investment in the Bao'an Industrial Zone is too huge. Just supplying food to tens of thousands of people every day is a huge expense.
So I have to find a way to make money. I don't have a bad conscience, I just want sand and gravel, and I won't take it for free, I can ask for money or food.
The key is that we are one family. It is better to have the gravel business in our own hands than to be cheated by those bastard capitalists."
Lin Sanqi thought to himself, you have to be on guard against a certain L in the future. He comes to the mainland to do business under the name of a patriotic Hong Kong businessman, but in fact he is just the nominal agent of British capital.
He came to the mainland just to make you follow the wrong path of Hong Kong, influence policies and harm the country. This kind of person is so bad that he is rotten.
Leader Jing walked to the desk and wrote a few words on his notebook before he said happily:
"What you're talking about has a huge impact. It needs to be discussed at the meeting, so I can't give you an answer now. But how much sand and gravel does Bao'an County need for building materials? That's no problem. I can promise you that right now."
Lin Sanqi thought that his superiors would definitely be waiting for a good price, so it would be difficult for him to replicate Huo Daheng's path to wealth.
In the final analysis, Lin Sanqi did not have enough status among the top leaders because he was one of them, and people from the same group did not need united front work.
"Leader Jing, I have something to deal with. It's both personal and official. You have to make the decision for me."
Leader Jing put down his pen, picked up his teacup again and said with a smile:
"Hey, who's the stupid one that messed you up? Are you planning to complain to me?"
Lin Sanqi is 25 years old this year. In the eyes of his leaders, he is just a young boy. This can be a disadvantage as well as an advantage. For example, if he does something wrong, his leaders will think that he is just a kid making trouble.
"Hehe, nothing can be hidden from the boss. Today I want to sue the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Luo Weiliang. Our Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital was originally developing well..."
Leader Jing interrupted, "Wait, what do you mean by 'your Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital'? Aren't you from the Infectious Disease Hospital?"
"Ah, boss, it's the same for everyone. After all, I was the vice president of the Chinese Medicine Hospital back then, right? That's not the point. The point is that Luo Weiliang, as soon as he took office, made it clear that those who obey me will prosper, those who disobey me will perish, and he eliminated those who are dissidents.
Originally, the middle management of our Chinese medicine hospital were all veteran revolutionaries, skilled and conscious. But once Luo Weiliang came to power, he brought in a new batch of middle management, all of whom were sycophants.
Yesterday, I went to visit the old director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Comrade Shen Guoming. Guess what I saw in the family compound? While I was having dinner, there were a bunch of sycophants from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital surrounding me. How bad is that?
Moreover, he did not respect the old leader. Not only did he completely sideline Dean Shen, he also changed all the rules and regulations of the Chinese Medicine Hospital that were being implemented well.
Leader Jing, think about it: his behavior of not uniting with his comrades and forming cliques is creating internal antagonism and is detrimental to the healthy development of the hospital. (End of this chapter)
